Where to start ~ RIP Val Kilmer (December 31st 1959 - April 1st 2025)
I saw last week that Val Kilmer passed away. He was 65 and died of pneumonia and I believe he had battling with throat cancer since 2014 and had undergone chemo, treatments and surgeries.
For those that don't know he was an actor who starred in some cracking films, which also had some great soundtracks. Think Top Secret, Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, the Batman Forever and I am sure many others.
So today I decided to include some tunes from some of the films that Val Kilmer starred in.
So today we have three tunes from films that starred Val Kilmer....
When I think of Val Kilmer I think of Top Gun andhis cool character IceMan and this song ...
Tune 1 Top Gun • Take My Breath Away • Berlin
This was a classic film back in the day. Cinematography at its finest.
The song is a bit of a power ballad and became a hit in its own right and has been covered umpteen times.
The song was on Berlin's fourth studio album, Count Three & Pray, released in 1986.
Tune 2 Tombstone-Doc Holiday -Frederic Chopin- (Nocturne)
Before we actually hear the full length piece I just had to include this part from the film Tombstone. It isn't Kilmer playing, but he did practice for months to try and make it look realistic, because you know it is Frederic Fucking Chopin!
Full version, this from a channel that has 24 subscribers ...
Tune 2 in full Chopin Nocturne - Op. 72, No. 1 (yes, from Tombstone)
Tune 3 Batman Forever • Kiss From a Rose • Seal
There were two stand out tunes from Batman Forever, the U2 hit "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" and this one which I picked "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal.
It was the bigger hit worldwide I think and got to number one in the US and Australia and number four in the UK.
Seal is an artist that I think I should be making a ttt for as well!
I am going to close with a Bonus tune / short medlay so to speak from The Doors where he of course played the legendary Jim Morrison who he so uncannily looked like!
Bonus Tune Val Kilmer in THE DOORS
Which was your favourite Val Kilmer film tune or was it one of the many others that could have been chosen?
Note: The 5 YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant happy fun and terrific Tuesday until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
