Music
The score for Days of Thunder was composed by Hans Zimmer, with Jeff Beck making a guest appearance on guitar. This was the first of an on-going list of films in which Zimmer composed the score for a Jerry Bruckheimer production.
The song "Last Note of Freedom" was sung by David Coverdale of the band Whitesnake at the request of Tom Cruise himself. Vocal parts of David Coverdale were recorded in 1990 in Los Angeles during a day off during the Slip of the Tongue Liquor and Poker world tour.
A score album was never released, although a bootleg was later available.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”

“Franceska: I was happy in the life I built up for myself. I put a fine high wall of music around me and nothing could touch me. I was safe and secure. And then you had to come along and knock it all down and I hate you for that.
Maxwell: On the contrary, you love me.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
