I am begging for someone to help me find something similar to my favorite melody.
I know the term “similar” can define different criteria, and really the only specific thing I’m looking for when I say “similar” is the melody. If you’ve ever heard ANYTHING similar that has that epic/dramatic feel or similar in ANY way, please let me know!

I’ve linked to several different styles of the song(8 bit, orchestral, original, and piano) to show that the style/genre/lyrics has/have nothing to do with what I’m looking for.
Please at least listen to the orchestral version of this song(especially the chorus) as you will find that it may sound like something you’ve heard before or possibly help you expand your opinion of the melody. The 8 bit version is also a good video to try as it may also spark a memory of something you’ve heard before.

Since I can’t post links yet, all you have to do is paste these after youtube . c om
8 bit version /watch?v=RXw_txpn_aM
Orchestral version /watch?v=5lmpY3TUfXA
Original version /watch?v=CBrWNbjw3RA
Piano version /watch?v=WegyI3fBn4Y




As you can tell, the video is an orchestra performing Michael jacksons smooth criminal. So I am NOT simply looking for a similar style song to smooth criminal. I’m talking about the melody and feel. And it doesn’t matter what genre! The orchestral song I linked to kinda (to me anyway) has a Spanish heroic feel to it due to the coronets and other instruments.

So if you would be so kind as to listen to the above versions of the song and see if you can think of a similar melody I would sincerely appreciate it. I don’t care if it’s video game music or the score from a movie, if it’s similar in terms of melody/feel please let me know! Thank you very much!

You might like film scores if you like that style. Also, it sounds a lot like "easy listening" of the Fifties and Sixties, including Ray Conniff, Bert Kaempfert and 101 Strings Orchestra.

You'll find an array of music on this thread:
//www.city-data.com/forum/music...ic-thread.html

Here are a couple of links to soundtracks:

Conan the barbarian OST 1982 (full album) - YouTube


50 years of Bond (1962 - 2012 and beyond...) - YouTube

John Barry's "The Deep" is just one of the full albums available at YouTube. There are some wonderful scores to be found by composers including John Williams, James Horner, Max Steiner, Maurice Jarre, Vangelis and Nino Rota.

You'll find a lot of Syd Dale's works on that lounge/easy listening music thread. I put most of them there=}

Let me know if anything sounds interesting.
