I never realized these weird movies I loved growing up were all Tim Burton until I was older. But then later, I realized that pretty much every movie scored by Danny Elfman I love. Those Tim Burton movies without Danny Elfman would not be the same. His music is world building. Every opening song you feel like you are on a journey into this specific world. The syncopation, heavy low brass, the ethereal violins and choral additions. They don't follow the usual epic thematic rythyms and chord schemes. Each movie he puts a new thumbprint on it. I'm the biggest fan. I actually make it a point to watch movies he works on.

There were a lot of people who didn't like his "one Batman Theme" comment back in 2017, but when you hear how hard he had to fight to get the Batman gig in the first place, it's no wonder he's so proprietorial about it. And I happen to "mostly" agree with Danny. There ARE other Batman themes; Neal Hefti, Shirley Walker, and Elliot Goldenthal spring to mind, but none of them match what Elfman achieved (Shirley came close though).

his quirky style is recognizable in nearly all his works, even Batman has a signature tinge to it I can't quite put my finger on, but is unmistakeably the Elfman sound. And for all the quirky off beat rythmic tunes he's produced, he also proved a masterful talent of "reading the atmosphere" so to speak, since his pieces always compliment the scenes they're used in. The Scissorhands score still chills my spine every time I hear it, makes me sad even.

It's incredible to think of how many impactful movies were scored by Danny Elfman. He sounds like he's a fascinating, exciting and satisfying career and the balls he showed have clearly paid off.

I’ve always LOVED the background music in these Tim burton films. I would even listen to Danny’s music on its own. He’s a genius and it’s amazing to learn abt him and his art.

The score for Batman is timeless and one that will forever be engrained in my mind. Thank you Danny for all you've done for film. Looking forward to Beetlejuice 2

@mattbernabe 11 месяцев назад

Bummed that Danny wasn't asked about Sleepy Hollow. In my opinion, it's one of his top best movie scores.

@fashioniconjaylienkay 11 месяцев назад

Agreed! Sleepy Hollow is my favourite Tim Burton movie.

His music is what has made me love Tim Burton and why I’ve been a nightmare before Christmas fanatic for over 25 years!

The EDWARD SCISSORHANDS soundtrack is one of the most fantastic, ground-breaking, track-switching scores ever written. You never heard anything like it before, but heard it everywhere after. I don't think there was anything that did the same until Zimmer's THE DARK KNIGHT score. And then he one-upped himself with DUNE.

His Batman soundtrack is still one of my all time faves. Dude is a absolute legend, despite essentially being an outsider composer.

@tricuspa 11 месяцев назад

One of my favorite composers, and I can see why. Many of those feelings are shared, skeptical but playful, with play being more important. Thanks GQ and Danny for making this!

@Bryce8357 11 месяцев назад

"Nightmare Before Christmas" is as much Danny Elfman's movie as it is Tim Burton's and Henry Sellic's

More Sellic than Burton by all accounts

Loving it, totally agree this should be a 10 part series. I also feel so fortunate to have grown up with the musical genius Danny Elfman.

@joeybeaupre7861 9 месяцев назад

This video was so inspirational. I love the way that he takes all the negativity in his life and fuels it into beautiful works for art. That's exactly what I want to do. It makes me have a deeper connection to his music now. Especially in the nightmare before Christmas. It's so interesting how he poured his experience of wanting to leave a band that he was responsible for into the character of Jack. It makes it so real and easy to connect to. I just love it. I was so fascinated with everything he had to say.

@bask1876 11 месяцев назад

I grew up listening to his scores along with many other composers. Until today, I did not know his name like I did others. Thank you GQ. Now I can appreciate the person behind the beautiful music. Thanks Danny for the wonderful music. Can't wait to hear more.

@universalsoldier2293 11 месяцев назад

I love many of his scores, but the original Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and Sommersby soundtracks will always be among my favorites. Mad genius. LOVE HIM.

I love Danny Elfman. He is “music-made magic” for me. If a television in another room begins to play music and it’s Danny’s music, I immediately recognize it and that’s always a bit of a thrill for me. And, come on, he’s just so goddamned cool. The hair, the fashion sense, the personality, the insane talent…what’s not to love?
