Berlin – Take My Breath Away (Official Video – Top Gun)

This is the song known as the love theme that colored the romance between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis in the 1986 film Top Gun.

It was created by Berlin, a synth-pop band from Los Angeles.

Composed by the master Giorgio Moroder, its structure is breathtaking, developing from a gasp-inducing synth bass riff into a grand chorus.

It topped both the U.S.

and U.K.

charts, and in 1987 it won Best Original Song at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes.

Terri Nunn’s soulful vocals meld with the dreamy arrangement to paint a poignant yet beautiful soundscape.

Many listeners likely remember this track alongside the film’s iconic scenes.

I Want To Break FreeQueen49rank/position

Queen – I Want To Break Free (Official Video)

The song “I Want to Break Free,” included on the 11th album The Works and also known for its music video—a parody of the British TV drama Coronation Street—that sparked mixed reactions.

Because of its lyrics, it became popular in South America at the time as an anthem of freedom for people suffering under oppressive regimes.

Its vocal range is narrow and the pitch movement isn’t drastic, so you can sing it comfortably while listening to the ensemble.

If possible, I’d like you to sing it with an understanding of the lyrics—this is a soulful pop tune.
