- This is my cover of The Flashdance Love Theme, an instrumental track featured in the 1983 movie. It was written by Helen St.John and produced by the legend Giorgio Moroder.
You can watch my instrumental cover of 'What a Feeling' by Irene Cara from the same movie here: • Flashdance (Irene Cara...
You can watch my instrumental cover of "Lady, Lady, Lady" by Joe Esposito from the same movie, here: • Lady, Lady, Lady - FLA...
My cover version here was recreated by ear from the ground up, and produced in Cubase 13 Pro.
Each individual sound is a blend of multiple VST instruments, including 5 digital pianos, 4 bass instruments, 2 pads and 2 pluck sounds playing an arpeggio that runs thoughout.
I recorded each instrument layer separately (rather than just copying and pasting it) to achieve a less mechanical sound.
The Flashdance Love Theme is one of my favourite Giorgio Moroder tracks from the 1980s, so I wanted to do it justice.
Hopefully you enjoy listening and watching as much as I did making it.

There are some great covers of this song on RUclips and this is another. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hermosa música. Lindos recuerdos. Gracias.
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
i absolutely love this tune , brilliantly played as usual Julian , thank you for sharing this x
It's a lovely tune isn't it. Thanks for watching 🙏
I had forgotten about this theme, thanks for bringing it back. I may need to re-watch the movie as it's been years. 😀
Un tema mas del mar de producciones del padre, fundador y pionero del EDM Concreto y la Electrónica Moderna Giorgio⚡Moroder.
Buen cover 👍
My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...The Sound Of The Future.
Bravo!Fantastic cover!Спасибо!
Thank you.
what a genius was Moroder
Indeed 👍. Although I don't know how much of the productions he did himself, he was a master of pushing the envelope while respecting the musicality of the song itself... Everything made so much musical sense!
Big fan 😁.
This is an underrated theme from Flashdance, you dont really get to see someone doing a cover on this piece.
@@miaobinhuang2315 There are a few others on RUclips.. One or two of them are quite good.
I always check existing covers of a particular track before starting my own.
If I don't think I can improve upon what's already out there I'll scrap the idea.
👍 Love It,Great !!👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Anmother great re-creation Julian. Happy New Year!
Thank you 🙏 happy New year
Fantastic - keep up the good work! Love it. Keen to hear "Lady Lady Lady" too, with that awesome arpeggio at the end ... 🙂 Giorgio's done some terrific work - the "Cat People" soundtrack is another gem.
Lady Lady Lady is on my mind to do some day Peter 🙂. I'm trying to mix things up a bit though.so I'm not doing Moroder stuff all the time, so it will be a while yet.
Thanks. 👍
Hola..me llego la nostalgia,de esta bella melodia,llorando estoy, mis recuerdos,mi soledad,mi tristeza,.. yá no tengo,a mi lado,en mi vida,a mi mamá,y a mi esposa,viudo, huérfano, pero vivo mi vida,ya me unire con ellas🙏🌹😞🥹🥹🥹😞🥹🥹🥹🥹🙏
Music can be very powerful. It has the power bring back memories, to change moods, to motivate, to love, to cry, to dance with joy.
I'm sorry for your loss my friend. There's a lot of love and kindness still left in the world, and I hope to emulate that in my music.
Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for watching. 👍
Absolutely love it Julian, you've nailed it again. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this and the original.
Thank you my friend 😁. Maybe I nailed this one because it's slower... Much easier to decipher what's going on under the hood. Although I don't think the arpeggio is quite right in some places, it's good enough I suppose and I'm trying to be a bit quicker, lol.
@@juliancroot arpeggios must be one of the hardest to recreate by ear, I slow it down to about a quarter of the speed but with that comes distortion. It's probably only you that notices if it's wrong though since you spend so much time listening over and over....
@@ge0music307 yep, sometimes you just can't hear exactly what's going on so you have to make a musically informed guess. There's usually a repeating pattern of some sort in each section, so as long as you can hear what's going on somewhere you can figure it out.
Giorgio Moroder though often seams to use two different arpeggios running side by side... It creates a sort of chasing effect that is very cool but difficult to follow.
In this track he doesn't do that but the pattern is constantly changing so it messes with your brain! Lol.
@juliancroot that's my task today lol, figuring out some string arpeggios for my latest song. They are quite fast so I've worked out as long as I know the starting and finishing note, then follow the key of F major scale in this case, it seems to sound very similar. Hopefully lol.
Very good. I still can't believe your videos don't get more views. I do recreations also (by ear) and I'm not sure that everyone appreciates the time it takes to deconstruct a track into its constituent parts, chords, melodies, arps/ostinatos, and then the time it takes on top of that to get the sound of each part as close as possible to the original. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. Yes it's a labour of love , but maybe one day the RUclips gods will shine a light on our content. I just listened to a couple of your tracks and you're doing well....Deer Hunter 👍 and axel f was one of the better versions I've heard. Only Kosmusic's version tops it but he seams to have stopped working on stuff.
Good luck, I hope your work also gets the attention it deserves.
@@juliancroot Thanks for taking the time to listen, and for the kind words. (And yes that Kosmusik version of Axel F is the gold standard.) Looking forward to more of your covers!
I had just finished watching a documentary on Patrick Swayze (of dirty dancing), and I find your post on my other favorite dance movie. Great timing. Love the production and music, thanks.
Interesting... You've just reminded me of the song 'Yes' from the Dirty Dancing album soundtrack. That was a great song 😁.
Thanks Steve🙏
tema espectacular
Great cover. I love it as always. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you 👍
wow!
It sounds absolutely amazing! You always deliver! Seriously why has this channel not got a million subs?
Maybe one day! Thanks for watching 👍
You should instrumentals of take on me and shines on tv by Aha , I think they would sound amazing😊
I've already done Take On Me by A-ha! Check it out 😁
Another vote for my favourite: T.S A.S.O.TV 📺🌞 but I think it was quite heavy on guitar stabs! Not sure, hypothetically, where you could source expensive mannequins, but theres always cheap inflatables. Just not church backdrop (or studio) appropriate.
I can only imagine the mayhem 😂
Your Take on Me was amazing, as have been each if your vids , TY @juliancroot
Great. Very similar to the original. If it's not a secret, which instruments are included in the arpeggios (the 3rd second of the video plays 4 tracks)?
Ive used 2 sounds on the arpeggiated part, 1 panned left, the other panned right.
The left side is a sawtooth oscillator, the right side is square. Both are custom patches I made in Steinberg's Retrologue 2.
In isolation neither sounds right, but put them together and it creates that spikey sound that still has a soft feel too it.
I get asked these kind of questions a lot, so I'm hoping to experiment with a new video format where I'll discuss the sounds I've used or created in certain tracks.
However unfortunately that won't be for a while as I'm currently unable to get to my studio for any length of time, but its something I hope to do as soon as I'm able.
@@juliancroot Thanks for the reply, I will look forward to your videos.
Awesome, you should do turn back time by Cher
Yes I really want to do that one some day.
hi very super every song you do.
can you make a video about the drums. what kind of vst instruments do you use? maybe what kind of samples?
And a video about mixing tips
thanks in advance
Drums are always tricky for me. But I mostly use Native Instruments Battery 4 for the samples, and for a lot of projects I try the linn drum kit first.
I don't know that I could teach drum mixing methods as I don't really have any...I just experiment until I think I've got something close.
They one tip I do have is probably to mix the snare drum a lot lower than you think. It doesn't need to 'stick out'.
But even then, if you're doing big trap style music that's probably bad advice! Lol.
So drums are tricky.
Thanks
