Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and John Williams
October 2025
Was just listening to the theme from Jurassic Park. Conducted by John Williams who happens to have written it.
Beautiful. One of my favorites.
I love how for the first french horn solo he give the down beat and then lets the musician just do his thing.
I started thinking: "you know, I think I like this more than Star Wars..."
Clicked it next. That opening hit and I remember why, no, in fact Star Wars takes the cake.
I posit that Star Wars wouldn't have been half of what it was without the music.
Of course, let's not forget the theme for Superman. It's no slouch.
That fucking build up.
Thankfully, I don't have to pick just one, but if I did, it'd have to be Star Wars.
