Midnight Cowboy theme John Barry (1933-2011) "1980s style synth cover"

Synth cover of John Barry's classic version theme.

Synths:

Akai SG01V
Waldorf Blofeld

Just a little reverb added in the final mix. Blofeld on this is just the Bass & Lead sound which just happens to be called "The 1980s" : )

@joesphx19 Thank you! I really appreciate that :)

So relaxing.So soothing. Almost makes you forget the movie is about a homeless beggar and a prostitute.

Hey, Walt, well, I'm finally getting around to listening to my subscriptions. My inlaws have been here all week, and it's been crazy 'round here. But now I can breathe, hehe.

OMG, this is so great! I've always loved this theme....what fantastic production. This is going straight into my favorites list. :) This is a cover I could listen to over and over again. Janet

@onewomanandsomesongs That's ok I know about burning the candle at both ends...I've been doing that a lot myself lately! : \

Well, thanks much Janet, yeah I guess covered it ok, but I think there really is just no substitute for Toots Thielmans harp...the man really knew how to evoke pure emotion from his instrument--a true one of a kind.

I don't know, this is damn talented. Thanks for sharing with us out here in the Wide World Web.

@busywave Thanks Mark, the James Bond themes certainly were his trademark. "you only live twice" sure had a remarkably similar motif to the "midnight cowboy" theme.... He certainly was, and still is a great composer.

Hi Walt, One of my favorite movie themes. I liked Barry's oo7 music too, especially "you only live twice" Nice work on it Walt. Be well
