SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:56 Min.
This instrumental track is performed by Harold Faltermeyer for the 1986 Top Gun film. Though it isn’t included with the original soundtrack, “Memories” appears on the album’s 1999 expanded re-release.
REVIEW:
Heard as Tom Cruise’s ‘Maverick’ grieves over his best friend’s accidental mid-air death, the song’s ruminating tempo still packs a wallop even today. As much acclaim as the soundtrack’s surplus of pop hits deserved, hearing the poignant “Memories” reminds one of Top Gun’s emotional backbone. Definitely well-played!
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
