RE: Within you (Live Cover) from one of my favourite fantasy movies: LABYRINTH

in #music5 years ago

Neverending Story, all the way. Swamp of Sadness and the Magic Mirror song are hard to forget, along with the main theme. The songs are so instantly recognizable, and have almost a demonic ability to force the same emotions to instantly recall when heard.

Another great fantasy with a great score I love is Conan the Barbarian. Adrenaline rush!

Sort:  

Conan the Barbarian is a classic but I'm intending to do very simple candid covers (some a bit more complex) but mostly less complicated live ones like this. So it's a bit pretentious for me to emulate all the rich orchestration of Basil Poledouris. Neverending story I have a version halfway done shhhh :) and actually BOTH of the ones you mention because swamp of sadness is my favourite part of the score (more even than the main theme). Magic Mirror was made by Henson but after he was gone, so I'm not that attached to it, I feel it more a Gaiman/Mckean work though it's a very interesting movie

Which song is the "deedoo deedoo, deedoo deedoo"? It was the song played as Atreyu approached the mirror gate, and echoed throughout the film when Bastion read the book. Is Magic Mirror the name of a later song? Thought Henson was alive when the film released. I was never sure to what extent Henson helped make this film. Surely the luck dragon and rock giant were works of his company, at least I always thought so. Uncredited?
