Best moment of my life in high school. Went to a band clinic. Afterwards there was a tuba ensemble performance... and they played this... talk about a religious experience.. :D :D
Some classmates and I just gave a presentation for powerpoint class-the topic was left to us, so we did it about the upcoming Avengers movie. We started it by introducing ourselves to the class like we were SHIELD agents there to "brief" them about "a secret project" with this music playing in the background. Right at 1:16 is where we had the words "The Avengers Initiative" pop up on the screen. Got us an A.
@DCH13000 When we had to do our end credits we had the song "Live to Win" playing as well, and then we showed bootlegged footage of the first Avengers trailer. Our professor said we did the best job of the entire class.
@DCH13000 I had two partners, and one of them wanted to a tribute to horror movies because someone else had previously and the professor mentioned it. I suggested The Avengers and he had no idea what I meant, but by the time we were done he was saying "That movie is gonna be so sick!" I felt very good about myself for educating him, lol.
Superman 1 was, and is the best version of Superman. The only Superman that totally rocks beside Christoper Reeve in the first film, was the animated justice league Universe. Everything else, especially Smallville reeked. This opening, carried the imagination of a four year old kid, way back in 81 (via a beta copy no less), to the stars. unfortunately, I couldn't stay there. Christoper Reeve is Superman, and John Williams, is the greatest composer since Mozart.
I can picture this as the last music we hear on Smallville so much! Even more than the actual JW main theme! I can just picture Clark stepping out from behind an ice pillar in the Fortress and Flying off Christopher Reeve style!
They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you - my only son.
That's great. I thought something similar. This song makes me think of God too. Like, the unveiling of God in His majesty. If you watch the Superman movie, Krypton almost has a 'heavenly' quality to it. And all the people seem kind of heavenly too.
@TotalGamer1 That's kind of the idea with Superman in the first place - Both are sent by their fathers to save the world, can perform miraculous feats, seen at birth, adolesence, and adulthood, die and rise again.
@cfler1 I feel like you would need a slow motion walk for full effect. Then everyone would be tempted to to bow as their jaws dropped in awe at your amazingness lol.
yea i would like this song played as soon as i woke up,while im eating breakfast, going outside to get the paper, and going to my car....not necessarily in that order
Thank you John Williams and THUORN.
There is nothing like this in the world!

This music is dedicated to the greatest show to ever come to Television "SMALLVILLE" You will travel far, my little Kal-El
Though we will never leave you
Even in the face of our death.
