  • "Yeah, New York. Big deal...Scum-center of the world...Now they're even talkin' about lettin' in low-lives from other planets...

    ...My name's Harry Canyon. I drive a cab."

  • Possibly one of the best (and most underrated) soundtracks of all time. Next to the score, both are brilliant.

  • Close your eyes and let yourself be transported......

  • great  theme ¡¡¡

  • Flooner75 is absolutely right! I'm going crazy trying to do a remake of this blasted song. Yes, it is very hard to sing. No, I haven't been able to finish this song and it's driving me crazy. Between bouncing tracks and harmonizing, it's a dizzy mess.Fagen is just too damn good. He's the musician's musician. All of the half step intervals and the inversions are just mystifying. I wish I could write like this guy. Brilliant composition.

  • @Flooner75 Great story! I'm a musician, and the artistic device that slays me on this song is called "close harmony." It's *very* hard to sing. Even Michael McDonald complains about Fagen's charts. Each singer's note is maybe a half-step away from the next voice's note. Very demanding, to make ear, brain and voice do exactly as they're told amidst other notes. But, it creates the ambiance of slow, tiny changes. I would never have made the Antarctica connection, but it's brilliant! Thanks!

  • 1980's Jazzy-queerish metal-tweak. Cool flick and they chose the perfect part of this song to introduce Hairy Canyon.

  • I can't believe I've never heard this song before. Loving it. Amazing how I can hear hints of other SD songs in there - Hey Nineteen, Gaucho, Maxine and even Pixeleen at the very end... Thanks for introducing me to this song.

  • @Johnlindsey289 yeah, but remember the roles are very different. Nausicaa is a healer and a leader and a deep thinker too (even botanist!). Taarna is literally vengeance personified! her cause is just, her logic is flawless. she is total badass, the fan service is just that: fan service.

  • @mdelair420 Thanks

  • @Billinois78 that shit was killer.nice work

  • @ScannerDarkly2 I agree.
