I Will Always Love YouWhitney Houston
Dolly Parton’s hit song “I Will Always Love You,” released in 1974, became known worldwide when Whitney Houston covered it in 1992.
I bet everyone has heard her version at least once.
By the way, Dolly Parton’s original is actually a country music song.
It’s quite different from Whitney’s R&B arrangement, so be sure to check that one out too!
Main Title Star WarsJohn Williams
Since the first film was released in 1977, the Star Wars series has been loved by people all over the world.
When it comes to what symbolizes the series, it has to be that famous main theme.
For many, just seeing the opening crawl and hearing the main theme is enough to spark excitement.
The composer behind that main theme is John Williams.
He is also renowned as a conductor and sometimes performs the Star Wars main theme at his own concerts.
Born Slippy NuxxUnderworld
This track by Underworld, emblematic of the ’90s techno scene, graced the climax of the film Trainspotting and became a symbol of youth rebellion and liberation.
Its exhilarating beat and energetic synths stir the soul, capturing nocturnal city episodes and the aimless cries of youth.
First released in 1995 and issued in various formats the following year, it exploded in popularity through its tie-in with the film and has continued to be referenced across diverse media ever since.
As a song that vividly conveys the atmosphere of the ’90s, it remains beloved by many music fans to this day.
Color of the windVanessa Williams
Vanessa Williams, the beautiful singer who also served as the 59th Miss America, won her first Grammy Award with this song.
It is the theme song of the Disney film Pocahontas.
Her soaring vocals match the beautiful animation perfectly.
The Addams FamilyAndrew Gold
Have you watched the series Wednesday that’s streaming on Netflix? Many of you may already know this, but it’s a spinoff of the iconic comedy The Addams Family.
With that in mind, I’d like to introduce The Addams Family theme.
This piece was created by Andrew Gold, and since it was used in the opening scene of the 1991 film, it has been loved as a signature tune for the series.
It’s full of playful touches too, like sampling finger snaps.
Main Title Terminator 2 ThemeBrad Fiedel
When it comes to towering pillars of sci-fi cinema, 1984’s The Terminator surely comes to mind.
Speaking of this film, that iconic main theme—da-dun, dun-dun-dun—is famous, isn’t it? The composer behind it is Brad Fiedel.
He was hired directly by director James Cameron to create the main theme.
By the way, the metallic sound you hear in the track is said to be the sound of a frying pan being struck.
It’s surprising to learn that the sound of a frying pan is woven into such a grand, atmospheric piece.
StayLisa Loeb
“Reality Bites” is a coming-of-age ensemble drama about America’s Generation X in the 1990s and also marks Ben Stiller’s directorial debut.
Its theme song, “Stay,” was by Lisa Loeb, then still unknown, and remarkably topped the Billboard chart even before she had signed with a record label.
