Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme (Miami Vice)

A video I made of the huge 80's TV show Miami Vice with the soundtrack of Crockett's Theme by Jan Hammer. Enjoy!

The time has been invented by the human being but in the eternity there is no time, it doesn't exist. Whenever you want to be in the 80's again just think about memories, listen to songs and you will be in the 80's, you will feel it in your heart.

[@dimitrisem6131]

I am 52 now. Not only the show, but the 80's in total will stay with me for ever. I feel so lucky l lived this era as teenager. Life was so beautiful, if you want to talk to a girl you had to do it in person not through an application. The Crocket theme still gives me chills after almost 40 years. !!!

@@Adriana-eu6tyNo I don't. Reagan was my hero then and now. It was because of President Reagan that the culture became as free and experimental as it did; even if the artist were anti-Reagan. He saved the US from the late 70s malaise of President Bean Farmer. He was reelected in a landslide and his Vice President was elected comfortably, even if for only one term. Despite what you were told by revisionists, he and his politics were loved by a huge number of people. Not only in the United States.

Fructuoso Torres-Leite I hear ya man, It's just the way some kids talk about video games now days gives one the impression that they have no life outside of video games. Good to know some kids still went out to play like we did. I mean heck we had Nintendo and Sega growing up but the games were generally pretty short so we spent maybe and hour or two on them and went back outside again.

So much greatness lost.... The time we live in is horrible. Everything is too fast, too cruel and life is hopeless. When I have time to stop and think I feel a void deep inside me. An emptyness in my soul that crushes me because of what was lost and what it used to be and is now gone. I cant even express how terrible and sad this time is. This song takes me back there and makes me emotional :(

[@hansbrackhaus8017]

Life isn't hopeless at all. Media wants to make you think otherwise, but if media reported on reality, then we'd see reporters tripping over themselves to show you the newest scoop on a dog peeing on a lamppost. "But Hans, everybody knows dogs pee on lampposts, why would media need to cover that" To that I ask "If media doesn't cover what 'everyone knows' because you can see it every day, why do we need media to tell us daily how bad entire swathes of our populations are?" With this perspective, you can be freed. Everything bad and hopeless in media is acted. It only gets bad the moment people start believing in it and behaving like it's reality. But since it never was reality, even those who think it's reality can simply convert back to dismissing it, without any ill effect.

The 80's were my childhood, and were the best times of my life. Miami vice and especially this theme is awesome, I find those days the best because life was much simpler and less stressful, no cell phones or smart phones, internet or computers. The most complicated item in our household was the brand new color tv that dad got, and people looked for you if they wanted to talk to you, not call you or text you, people walked or drove to stores and tried stuff on, they didn't order them online. I miss those days. And in 2015, I still listen to this kind of music. thx for the song.

The 80's had some of the best music. Artists then had actual talent. Unlike the "artists" today.

There is something about 80's music that mesmerizes me. It's a bittersweet experience.

[@vjrei]

Because in the 80's there were musicians and arrangements most of the time. Today you have patterns and loops and and 99% of the music is not played by a musician but by a guy who is a music fan, the difference is big. The doom of the 80's was when "free style" came, a very simplistic and stupid way that took the corniest to the extreme. But you have INXS, Depeche Mode and many other bands who had musicians like Queen, Pink Floyd and many others.

[@mclainwm]

vjrei There's also all these kids on lawns

[@Palmroxx]

vjrei Modern pop music is intentionally homogenizing the sound because it's easier and more cost-effective to use a similar template for most tracks. They've always done this, but it's more prevalent now because it's easier. Just take a few sounds that are popular right now (piano mixed with a layered synth, then add a 4x4 beat and make it as loud as possible). This is the train of thought most producers have these days, and you can't even get a job (like making a song for a commercial) if you don't approach it like this.

[@kotoayodeji853]

They key lies in 80's musical production: highly synthesised instrumentation mixed with overly raw organic sounds (i.e combination of synths, tenor sax ; in this this case heavenly synths juxtaposed with xlyophone, strained guitars). Similarly the juxtaposition of youthful, light, ultra commercial production and visuals yet all the time delivering super serious themes and romantic messages. These two juxtapositions are the key to that feeling you describe in my opinion.

[@bobbyt1318]

koto ayodeji yes, I think you nailed it...there seems to be a deconstruction in all those juxtapositions and conventional assumptions are replaced with something different.

Alastair Brewster No, Obama is what came to be the embodiment of “smiles” over *brains* and doing what is right. Trump’s Tax Cuts for example massively stimulated the middle class, increasing annual average income by over $6.000. More so than any other preceding President. Building the Border Wall with Mexico has made sure to decrease Human Trafficking and also increased Jobs for American minorities who suffer from the Illegal Immigration. Since Trump is *not* part of the Establishment ... is why they hated him and wanted him out the White House.
