Top Gun - Opening Theme (Synth Cover)

This is my cover of the opening theme of an 80s cult movie: Top Gun by the great and brilliant composer Harold Faltermeyer.

Hope you like it ;)

Kos I don't know how you do these but your attention to minute details is impeccable. Love your work! Just so you know they weren't unnoticed, I saw the following similarities between your video and the original Top Gun intro. The music starts just before the studio logo, the fade-in is the same rate. The title cards switch at the same time and have the same font, the description card has the same font and they are on the screen the same duration. Even the gate weave seems to be the same. Amazing!

I just love how the synth emphasizes heroism and the stakes when flying at the same time .

[GuyWithGuns]

Dude, you even got the slight shake in the text graphics! THAT is attention to detail!

[Dizzy]

My god man! This is so spot on that my subconcious mind automatically mixes in the sounds of howling turbofan engines and the bustle of a flight deck crew prepping the cats at sunrise... MAGNIFICENT!

[SPQRTempus]

Only thing missing is the samples of the flight deck loudspeaker and the jet engines which is understandable. But the fact your ear is cued to expect them is testament to how good this cover is. From a fan of Top Gun who watches the film far too much for his wife's liking, this is brilliant.

This recreation is impeccable. The title theme sounds so much better without the guitar. It allows you to really admire the synth music. I am a huge ‘80s movie nerd, but believe it or not, I have never watched Top Gun in it’s entirety. I really need to see it.

Excellent job. One of my all time favorite movies. I grew up watching this movie as a kid as soon as it came out on VHS. It also inspired me to join the Navy and I was an aircraft maintainer on Tomcats in VF-154 the Black Knights.

It drove me nuts that this opening music was not even on the CD or even the later released SACD, the main reason I bought it, for just those few minutes of musical bliss.

[MOBMJ]

you can't say you don't get goosebumps with this song

Should be the opening theme for Top Gun Maverick ! Fantastic job

[OmniGSage]

The 80s had just the best movie and TV show music, period. This channel has proved it to me.

[mhacke]

I agree with your opening statement. The opening sequence to Top Gun is one of best ever. I have always loved this theme and our buddy Harold. I can't wait to see the second Top Gun movie. I think you are very talented an creative. More music please.

[zoesantana]

I swear to god, I had the movie automatically playing in my head listening to this. Watching the prowlers and tomcats get ready for launch. I even heard the blast deflector coming up towards the end. Spot on, my man!

[andreaspooky]

this tune is the proof that every kind of movie opening, no matter how simple or dull, can be raised to epicness

[EmadSaedi]

My dear friend, I recently watched Top Gun Maverick at theatre and once the movie began with that wonderful opening music, it reminded me of your cover. It was time to come back here and rewatch this video. You have done an incredible job.

[lonestarsmoked]

This song will always and forever remind me of my uncle. He was a huge TopGun fan. Tragically he passed away from an accident, So this really hit home for me.

The theme reflected the calmness of the sea, as a seafarer for ten years, this music is amazing for ship life, the best for Top Gun aircraft carrier scenes

[lifethrualense]

As a kid I remember going to the movies and loving some movie soundtracks. They elevated movies to another level for me. Sad we have lost that somehow.

[colemaund]

Top gun is one of my all time favorite movies the opening gives me chills every time. Well done!!!

Having seen the new Top Gun film, and having Arturia's V Collection for many years, I did a YouTube search which led me here. This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for you work and for posting, and my next few evenings are going to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane on my synths. Thank you.
