I love them both, and they were both Oscar nominated top 5 hits. I really can't choose. FYEO is beautiful and GFN is inspirational. What about you guys?
For Your Eyes Only is a gem....but Gonna Fly Now has transcended the medium in every way...and out of the two wins my vote...one of the greatest pieces of music written for film...ever.
Neither is really a favourite, to be honest. But I like Conti's score on FYEO -- dated or not!
Same here. I find both as sounding dated. I guess 'Gonna Fly Now' has become the more famous piece. I'm not even sure 'For Your Eyes Only' is a particularly well remembered theme song.
I have never listened to FYEO so my answer probably doesn't count but I will say the one song that I absolutely get pumped every time I hear it (jogging, driving, relaxing) is not Gonna Fly Now but Going the Distance. What a perfect butt kicking song!
