A little thought for James Horner

[Plume & Akakak]

... who died yesterday in the crash of his turboprop aircraft.

He composed the scores to many films I've been watching and rewatching in my youth, and helped me keep my child's heart alive.

Krull, Willow, Star Tek II : The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III : The Search for Spock, Aliens, The Name of the Rose, Glory.

Little James Horner sat in the corner,

or maybe it was up in the air.

He had a tragic crash,

his airplane got smashed,

and he went from "down here" to "up there".

Never heard of him but I couldn't resist. Plus, that glory soundtrack you posted is pretty damn nice.

Well, he also composed the scores of Braveheart, Avatar and, closer to what brings us here, Apollo 13. And yes, Titanic, of course.

For some reason today is a very sad day. Van Patten and James Horner died, and it's the 30th anniversary of the Air India bombings. RIP to all. James Horner must have been close to Hans Zimmer as being the god of movie soundtracks.

Oh man, I thought you were talking about the paleontologist (Jack Horner). That would have ruined my day.

That is sorrowful - I listened to his works a lot.

May he rest in peace.

I think this one 'describes' Horner the best. First song that popped into my head when I found out.
