With the release of the 'Justice League' film, I thought I would go with a superhero theme for this week's Movie Music Monday track. So I've chosen the iconic Superman Main Theme by John Williams. It's a classic movie theme and instantly recognisable.
The music for the original Superman film was composed and conducted by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. John Williams is a classic movie theme composer and I'm sure we'll be seeing some more of his tracks in the Movie Music Monday playlist in the future.
For many the 1970's and 1980's Superman films were classics and the theme music brings back those memories of running around the school playground with your coat buttoned around your neck to create a makeshift cape humming the theme tune. Check it out below.

I was feeling an 80's vibe for this week's Movie Music Monday, so I've chosen Huey Lewis and the News with Power of Love. The track comes from the classic 80's film Back to the Future starring Michael J Fox.
The Power of Love was released in 1985; the music video shows the band playing in a nightclub with Dr. Emmett Brown showing up in his DeLorean, apparently after time-travelling, and a couple stealing it for a joy ride. The song is iconic and transports you back to the 80's. Check it out here:
Well after a bit of a break I'm back. Classical Music Mondays has changed to Movie Music Mondays, there will still be some classical music from time to time, but I wanted to share some other great movie tracks as well.
This week's Movie Music Mondays track is from the film Tron: Legacy. I enjoyed both the original Tron and Tron:Legacy and hope Disney will develop the franchise in the future, although that currently doesn't look likely.
One of the stand out features of Tron: Legacy was the soundtrack which was produced by Daft Punk. Daft Punk have produced some great albums in the 90's and 00's and classic songs like 'Around the World' and 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'. There are some great tracks on the Tron: Legacy album like 'Derezzed' and 'End of Line', but the track which takes this weeks Movie Music Mondays title is Daft Punk - 'The Games Has Changed'.
I love the track and if it comes on while I'm driving I have to be careful not to hit the accelerator and imagine I'm driving a 'light cycle'. Enjoy the tune and let me know in the comments your thoughts and favourite Movie Music.
