Everything You Need!


SOUNDTRACKS - AGAIN! 
Or, as properly said, songs that adorn 
the actual soundtrack of a film; 
as the "soundtrack" as the term says it 
is the entire film's worth 
of every sound it contains - 
it has been so since the advent 
of the "talkie"... folks! 

A good soundtrack - rife with SFX and 
the appropriate music to emphasize the exact 
moments it needs to, when it pertains 
to the action on the screen - 
greatly enhances a movie. 
Verily, it makes all the difference! 
Some songs end up embodying the entire thing: 
as they sum up everything you need to know 
about that epic production! 



And now that that has been clear again... 
ONWARDS WITH THE TUNES! 

First came the enigmatic Sia 
(with a little help from Labrinth) 
who was clearly inspired 
-by Rupert Gregson-Williams, 
among other notables- 
when she came up with this song 
for the first super heroine: 


Celine Dion saw that - 
and she thought she would 
establish that, as she did 
in 1997 with her song for "Titanic" 
she is supposed to be 
the uncontested queen of 
movie tunes - 
de facto queen of the super hero 
theme song as well... eh? 
Alas - she chose the wrong 
"hero" to do so...
And the result was... this: 



And then... the real deal! 
Inspired by a true hero, 
an amazing heroine in Mera 
the dynamic between the two 
and another epic score by 
Rupert there...! 
Skylar Grey came and eclipsed 
everyone that came before 
-much like Aquaman did, 
with all super hero films ever!- 
with this end credits song: 













It is not to even be debated here: 
THE WINNER IS 
SKYLAR GREY 

And the entire soundtrack 
for Aquaman - trailers and movie; BOTH




At times, it becomes, all at once, the aquatic version
of James Bond 007... Blade Runner... Tron... and Star Wars!
Tremendous job, Rupert - and everyone!
