Film soundtracks and theme tunes: Unforgettable tunes, iconic films in history. đœ
This month is all about film soundtracks, and there are so many of them, spanning so many genres, and so many that have been truly excellent, that itâs hard to name them all. But one of the things that makes these films special is the music. What would they be without the emotion and power of a good song?
Este mes es el mes de las bandas sonoras de pelĂculas y hay tantas de ellas, de tantos gĂ©neros y demasiadas que han sido excelentes que es difĂcil nombrarlas a todas. Pero una de las cosas que hacen especiales a estas pelĂculas son la mĂșsica. Que serĂa de ellas sin la emociĂłn y la fuerza de una buena canciĂłn.

Hay pelĂculas que han marcado un hito en la historia, que han sido muy famosas y que todo el mundo reconocerĂa, pero no sĂłlo a las pelĂculas sino a sus canciones, sus bandas sonoras. Al escucharlas aĂșn fuera del contexto de la pelĂcula sabemos identificarlas, nos gusten o no, sean de nuestro gĂ©nero favorito o no, son pelĂculas y bandas sonoras inolvidables. Por supuesto al ser el tema del mes, invito a todo el que me estĂ© leyendo, y no sĂłlo es el tema del mes, pueden publicar sobre bandas sonoras en el momento que deseen y no sĂłlo aquĂ sino tambiĂ©n en la comunidad de Movies & TV Shows.
Para serles sincera, me hice una lista enorme de pelĂculas cuyas bandas sonoras sean importantes, que me gustan y que merecen recordarse. Cada pelĂcula tiene detrĂĄs una historia o una anĂ©cdota para mĂ y eso es lo importante en las reseñas, esa experiencia personal que hace que cada reseña sea distinta de otra. No se trata de comentar la pelĂcula o la banda sonora, sino que nos hace sentir, que experiencias personales tenemos respecto de ellas.
There are films that have left their mark on history, that have become hugely famous and that everyone would recognise, not just the films themselves, but their songs and soundtracks too. Even when we hear them outside the context of the film, we can still identify them; whether we like them or not, whether theyâre our favourite genre or not, they are unforgettable films and soundtracks. Of course, as this is the theme of the month, I invite everyone reading this to get involved and itâs not just the theme of the month; you can post about soundtracks whenever you like, not only here but also in the Movies & TV Shows community.
To be honest, Iâve made a huge list of films with soundtracks that are significant, that I like and that deserve to be remembered. For me, every film has a story or an anecdote behind it, and thatâs whatâs important in reviews, that personal experience that makes each review different from the next. Itâs not about commenting on the film or the soundtrack, but rather how they make us feel, and what personal experiences we have with them.

Vamos a comenzar con una banda sonora, en realidad una de las canciones principales, pero pueden escuchar toda la lista de reproducciĂłn, de una pelĂcula que debĂa estar primero, porque la considero importante al extremo. Se trata de la canciĂłn de la pelĂcula Matrix.
Es una pelĂcula que para mi simboliza mucho, gente viviendo en una matriz, todos conectados y que los controlan unas mĂĄquinas. Cualquier similitud con la realidad es pura coincidencia. Desconectarse es despertar a la realidad. Esta pelĂcula con el paso del tiempo me ha gustado cada vez mĂĄs y no tanto por la ciencia ficciĂłn sino por el mensaje que transmite. Su banda sonora es absolutamente fabulosa, me transporta, me da energĂa y crea ese efecto de caminar entre la multitud sabiendo que⊠estamos en una matrix. Es una banda sonora poderosa y como vez vuelvo a traer bandas sonoras orquestales, son de mis favoritas.
Letâs start with a soundtrack actually one of the main tracks, though you can listen to the whole playlistâfrom a film that really ought to have come first, because I consider it incredibly important. Itâs the theme song from The Matrix.
Itâs a film that means a great deal to me: people living in a matrix, all connected and controlled by machines. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental. To disconnect is to wake up to reality. Over time, Iâve come to like this film more and more, not so much for the science fiction but for the message it conveys. Its soundtrack is absolutely fabulous; it transports me, gives me energy and creates that feeling of walking through a crowd knowing that⊠weâre in a matrix. Itâs a powerful soundtrack and, as you can see, Iâm bringing back orchestral soundtracks, theyâre among my favourites.

Seguimos con energĂa y los tonos bien altos y les traigo la canciĂłn icĂłnica de una de las pelĂculas mĂĄs famosas de los años 80: Top Gun.
Cuando vi por primera vez esta pelĂcula fue una sensaciĂłn de libertad ver a esos aviones a toda velocidad, pero no sĂłlo se trata de los aviones sino de la ambientaciĂłn, el romance que hay en la pelĂcula, la historia y el actor, siempre me gustĂł Tom Cruise. Saber que en muchas escenas no usaba dobles y que eran escenas riesgosas le da mĂĄs valor. Ya traerĂ© otra de mis pelĂculas favoritas de Ă©l y con una historia personal.
Pero aquĂ la banda sonora resalta por su estilo, ritmo, fuerza, es pegadiza y es la indicada para esta pelĂcula. Es una canciĂłn que simboliza velocidad, me encanta. Quien no relacionarĂa la canciĂłn con la pelĂcula.
Weâre keeping the energy high and the volume cranked up, and Iâm bringing you the iconic song from one of the most famous films of the 1980s: Top Gun.
When I first saw this film, it gave me a real sense of freedom to watch those planes flying at full speed, but itâs not just about the planes â itâs the setting, the romance in the film, the story and the actor; Iâve always liked Tom Cruise. Knowing that he didnât use stunt doubles in many of the scenes, and that they were risky scenes, makes it all the more impressive. Iâll be sharing another of my favourite films of his soon, one with a personal story behind it.
But here, the soundtrack stands out for its style, rhythm and power; itâs catchy and perfectly suited to this film. Itâs a song that symbolises speed â I love it. Who wouldnât associate the song with the film?

Ahora vamos bajando el tono para traerles una de las bandas sonoras mĂĄs perfectas, transporta a cualquiera que la escuche. Es una canciĂłn poderosa, que quien vio la pelĂcula de El Gladiador no podrĂĄ olvidar. Se me pone la piel de gallina cada vez que la escucho y me emociona mucho. Debe ser el tono, el modo en que estĂĄ cantada o quizĂĄ el mensaje que me hace llegar.
Es una canciĂłn que me hace recordar lo grande que somos pero que un dĂa partiremos al lugar de donde vinimos y que todos vamos hacia ese maravilloso lugar, que estamos en la tierra solo de paso, como quien viene a aprender algo que es necesario para luego seguir el camino. Esta canciĂłn es usada en muchos videos, incluso para meditar, eleva el espĂritu y da energĂa y empodera. La pelĂcula es una de las mejores que transmite un mensaje de lucha por la vida, la uniĂłn con los seres que amamos, habla de los principios, del valor, las batallas de la vida y que vale la pena los sueños.
Now letâs tone things down a bit to bring you one of the most perfect soundtracks ever; it transports anyone who hears it. Itâs a powerful song that anyone whoâs seen the film Gladiator will never forget. I get goosebumps every time I hear it and it really moves me. It must be the tone, the way itâs sung, or perhaps the message it conveys to me.
Itâs a song that reminds me of how great we are, but that one day weâll return to where we came from, and that weâre all heading towards that wonderful place; that weâre only passing through on Earth, like someone who comes to learn something necessary before continuing on their journey. This song is used in many videos, even for meditation; it lifts the spirit, gives energy and empowers. The film is one of the best at conveying a message of the struggle for life, of unity with the people we love; it speaks of principles, of courage, of lifeâs battles, and of how dreams are worth fighting for.

Finalmente les traigo una canciĂłn que es absolutamente maravillosa y la primera vez que la escuchĂ© fue en el cine, la emociĂłn que sentĂ fue indescriptible, aĂșn recuerdo ese dĂa. La mĂșsica sonaba mientras veĂa a dinosaurios enormes en la pantalla y a mi favorito el dinosaurio de cuello largo, que come hojas de los ĂĄrboles. Esa imagen la tengo en mi mente y jamĂĄs se irĂĄ. En ese momento parecĂan reales y es lo que logra el cine en pantalla grande en este tipo de pelĂculas, hacer sentir que uno estĂĄ dentro de ellas y que lo que veo es real.
La pelĂcula Jurassic Park, sobre todo la primera, me ha encantado, es una de mis favoritas, han podido crear un mundo de ilusiĂłn especial y traerlo como si fuera real. La banda sonora orquestal es de las mejores, aunque muchas son sublimes, pero esta me da hasta escalofrĂos, pero de emociĂłn. Vale la pena escucharla de principio a fin, es Ă©pica. Otra banda sonora que todo el mundo relacionarĂa con la pelĂcula. Una absoluta maravilla para los oĂdos.
Finally, Iâd like to share a song with you that is absolutely wonderful. The first time I heard it was at the cinema, and the emotion I felt was indescribable; I still remember that day. The music was playing as I watched enormous dinosaurs on the screen, including my favourite, the long necked dinosaur that eats leaves from the trees. That image is etched in my mind and will never fade. At that moment, they seemed real, and thatâs what big-screen cinema achieves in this sort of film: making you feel as though youâre right inside them and that what youâre seeing is real.
I absolutely loved the film Jurassic Park, especially the first one; itâs one of my favourites. Theyâve managed to create a special fantasy world and bring it to life as if it were real. The orchestral soundtrack is one of the best; although many are sublime, this one actually gives me goosebumps, but from excitement. Itâs worth listening to from start to finish; itâs epic. Another soundtrack that everyone would associate with the film. An absolute treat for the ears.

Por supuesto hay muchas pero muchas bandas sonoras que merecen la pena estar aquĂ y por supuesto traerĂ© mĂĄs, no importa que el mes termine, siempre pueden traer sus bandas sonoras favoritas con sus experiencias personales y reseñarlas. Por ello los invito a todos a revivir las pelĂculas desde sus canciones, las que las caracterizan.
Muchas gracias a todos por acompañarme el dĂa de hoy, les envĂo un gran saludo. Hasta pronto.

The magic of the Gladiator song is that the lyrics arenât in any real language. They mix hints of Latin, Hebrew, Greek⊠and somehow it all hits straight in the emotions. They call it the language of the heart. This track gives me goosebumps every single time. đ
And me too!!! Itâs one of the most moving things there is; I remember the graphologist I studied with used to say that she meditated with it and it lifted her spirits. Thank you!!đ
đ€
Oh, I remember having the whole Matrix movie soundtrack on loop for weeks when the movie came out... and after watching it like 5 times in a week... đ The Spybreak from Propellerheads was one of my favorites, along with Clubbed to Death
And of course, Hans Zimmer is the best! Gladiator is great, but I like Inception more... đ
Thanks for reminding me of all these hits! đȘ
It's brilliant!!! That soundtrack is the best, and that second one you mentioned... I almost put that one in the post. I like the idea of feeling like I'm Triniti đ
Inception has another incredible soundtrack, and the composer is one of the best, his music features in loads of films. Iâve got a massive playlist of soundtracks, itâs brilliant!!! Thanks!đ€
