As originally seen on The Saudades Blog (... tantas saudades!) not so long ago... no... just some ten (10) years ago! The trigger: a top ten of the best videos of all-time, seen on msn.com at the time, and that evoked so many nice memories from my adolescence (and insouciance...! Those were such good times, back then. And, already, I was luminous; right, virtually all of the time! Épa - aquile era mesmo OTIMO!) that I just had to edit that list by issuing my own version of it - illico! (No pun intended!?)
The msn top ten can still be found here - I do believe? (Didn't click to verify if it is still there, though!)
Those msn picks coincided mostly with those years
that are covered on the ol' Saudades Blog; 1980 to 2005,
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!
Your mission: pick the best fight (not as in ''picking the fight'' yourself - duh! Choose which match-up is the most... ah... evenly matched, potentially, shall we say?) and then kick back and enjoy... if you can! YOU HAVE ONE JOB... can you do it?!?
