"Hogwarts Forever" seems only to have a brief choral wordless bit in an otherwise instrumental track. Or am I missing another version? "Winter's Spell" added! 3 minutes ago, GerateWohl said: In the "The Legend of John Williams" box song CD there are two more not mentioned here: Come Tuesday Love's the Only Game in Town Both composed together with Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Thanks! "Come Tuesday" is a fresh acquaintance to most of us, don't know how I forgot "Love's The Only Game in Town" first time around. Added.

Oops, yeah, I meant this bit that premiered on the LLL expansion and as far as I can remember we don't know exactly where it was intended to be used: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, Thor said: I've added the HOOK songs from the new release that weren't on the list. But there is apparently one song remaining, "Nothing's Impossible" that was not on the new set? There is no such Hook song by that name. Every song written for Hook that got recorded is on the Ultimate Edition release. 1 hour ago, Thor said: "Hogwarts Forever" seems only to have a brief choral wordless bit in an otherwise instrumental track. Or am I missing another version? You're missing a proper song written by John Williams (music AND lyrics) due to your staunch refusal to listen to expanded score releases. It is a song nobody knew existed until Mike found it in WB's vault, and included it in the 2018 expanded release that was approved by John Williams.

Thor 7,493 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 OK, thanks. I'll remove "Nothing's Impossible" and add "Hogwarts Forever". I've also put "Christmas at Hogwarts" into the film list (and no 'borderline') due to popular demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,519 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 But it was partially released on the OST in "Christmas at Hogwarts", so that can be removed and Cast a Christmas Spell can be kept. Thor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first song he ever wrote with the Bergmans, so before any other with them. The recording in the 20CD box set is from 2023 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,493 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 OK. Sadly, I do not own the box, but maybe those who do can check the liner notes for a possible composition date? I've also added a few YouTube links to the songs where there wasn't any before. I could find no YouTube videos for the HOOK songs. Please let me know if you find YouTube videos of the remaining "un-linked" songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Also speaking of chronology, I dunno if you want to factor this in or not, but the melody of Mothers was written in the 80s while working on the Spielberg Peter Pan musical movie that never happened with the Bergmans. When the song was brought into the Hook project, Leslie came up with his own lyrics for the melody. Not Mr. Big and KittBash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,493 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Does it apply to all songs, or just "Mothers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just Mothers. Thor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On March 22 2017, I wrote (post on the first page): Quote Songs you might add: I'm Tired and Hold You from The Fury Love Is The New Game In Town from Pete N' Tillie Christmas Star and Merry Christmas from Home Alone 2 Two Lovers from How To Steal A Million Somehow it was decided then that the song in question was not a Williams-song, although I pointed out that it was completely based on Williams’ theme for Pete N’ Tillie.

Jay 37,346 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Right? It always sounded to me like a Home Alone leftover, so to learn it pre-dated Home Alone was fascinating. You can hear Mike tell the Mothers story in more detail here: https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2023/12/27/hook-podcast-special/ Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schilkeman 961 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I think Nice to be Around is a damn fine song, and gets used wonderfully in the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
