(especially in the alternate with the more prominent piano) I don't think I've ever heard such loneliness in another theme... What do you consider the ultimate "loneliness" theme in film music if you had to choose one?    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 1:25 PM     By:   The Mutant   (Member) Humanity (part 1) - The Thing - Morricone    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 1:27 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) Lonely Are the Brave by Jerry Goldsmith, hands down.

Yavar Yavar, I didn't mean a whole soundtrack, but a single film music theme. Or do you mean the main theme?    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:17 PM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) First Blood for me too and that bit on the pier in JAWS, which leads into the sad chimes music.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:21 PM     By:   humster   (Member) Practically no one will have heard this, but the track "Nightsong" from Charles Gross' score to Punchline. Gorgeous, 80s noir jazz stuff.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:23 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) The MT for A Patch Of Blue    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:29 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) I don't think it was necessarily written to portray loneliness, but Morricone's main theme for La Califfa conjures up the most heart-rending emotions which could well include unrequited longing. The father and son and freedom/hope theme in Sacco & Vanzetti has the same effect.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:30 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) Clearly no one here has heard Chris Young's depressing, ghostly masterpiece, FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC. "Loneliness" in pure, unrequited musical form.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:30 PM     By:   Adm Naismith   (Member) Rose's Theme- Cocoon. Maybe loss, more than lonliness. But being left alone, for sure.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:31 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) Yavar, I didn't mean a whole soundtrack, but a single film music theme. Or do you mean the main theme? Yep, main theme on lonely trumpet. And First Blood is a close runner up. Yavar    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:57 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Let me be the third or fourth to say the "It's a Long Road" theme from FIRST BLOOD. It perfectly encapsulates everything I associate with loneliness -- and also the autumn-covered forests and mountains in the opening of the film. Plenty of other examples, though, but I'll have to think about it. It's worth pointing out that a cue, for me, doesn't have to accompany a scene of loneliness; it can be for something completely different, but still create that association in my head.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:58 PM     By:   John Black   (Member) Herrmann's TAXI DRIVER.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 3:01 PM     By:   drivingmissdaisy   (Member) The opening and main theme for John Rambo in First Blood (Jerry Goldsmith) OH yah, that's a really really good one. My choice is The Drive Home from Field Of Dreams.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 3:07 PM     By:   captain X   (Member) SERPICO'S main theme Its score inspired from a song whose music by legendary Greek composer Theodorakis was written to accompany the powerful lyrics of Greek existential poet Manolis Anagnostakis. After changing his mind despite the fact that at first Sidney Lumet did not want to use music in his film, Serpico' theme is one of the most beautiful pieces of melody composed for a film's soundtrack. I'm glad director Lumet changed his mind. Old streets I loved and hated endlessly under the shadows of the houses to be walking nights of returns unavoidable, and the city dead My insignificant presence I find in every corner make it so as to meet you once lost range of my desire me too Forgotten and defiant I walk holding a flickering spark in my wet palms And there I was walking through the night without knowing any one, and not even one, not even one knew me, knew me...    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 3:13 PM     By:   Stefan Huber   (Member) The Whisperers    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 3:19 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) The Whisperers yep, that's a good one    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 3:22 PM     By:   Sarge   (Member) Clearly no one here has heard Chris Young's depressing, ghostly masterpiece, FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC. "Loneliness" in pure, unrequited musical form. You beat me to it. A brilliant, exquisitely sad score, badly in need of a new edition. In lieu of that, I'll contribute some Johnny Williams -    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 3:59 PM     By:   RM Eastman   (Member) "SUMMER AND SMOKE" Elmer Bernstein     General Discussion: The absolute film music theme of "loneliness"    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5
