Quote: James Horner

On June 22nd, 2015, the world lost one of it's brightest Lights when James Horner died tragically in a plane crash. I'm still pissed about it. But James died doing something he loved to do (flying planes) and perhaps he had accomplished what he was sent here to do. If you've ever watched a motion picture, chances are you have heard his work even if you didn't recognize it at the time. From Aliens, to Braveheart, to Krull, and yes, to Titanic itself, James Horner has touched so many souls with his compositions that it's almost beyond comprehension. He won his two Academy awards for the score to Titanic in 1997, which also happens to be the best-selling orchestral film soundtrack of all Time. And for good reason. Imagine watching Titanic with no music. How boring would THAT be? Yeah, no thanks. Here's a sample of his Oscar winning score, that we may keep his Light shining through these Dark Times and beyond.
