Hans Zimmer is the king of epic soundtracks & film scores. I idolise him. One simply cannot discuss epic music without mentioning him!!!
Children, please don’t breathe the air.
Your lips are turning blue.
It seems that God was not impressed with clever, crooked fools.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We’ll be fine.
Don’t be afraid. You’ll see
This plan of ours won’t fail.
We’ve built enough aeroplanes
To fly us far from here.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We’ll be fine.
Get on the plane.
They said we’d live forever.

Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’ is one of my favourite songs AND the video for it is in my Top Ten Greatest Music Videos of ALL TIME list (the one I have in my head). Like ‘Remember The Time’, I can’t name a recently-released (ie in the last 5+ years) video that can compete with this.
Michael Jackson’s music video/short film for ‘Remember The Time’ changed the music video production game when it debuted back in 1992. I remember being glued to the television, and utterly transfixed at the King’s dancing (as always) and the special effects. I’d NEVER seen anything like that before! Come to think of it, in terms of the storyline, decor, costumes, celebrity cameos AND choreography, I can’t quite name a current video that can hold a candle to it.
Long live the King!
