Page "Highlander (franchise)" Paragraph 2

The original orchestral score was composed by Michael Kamen, but the soundtrack includes several songs by Queen, like " Princes of the Universe ", which was also used in the Highlander television series title sequence.

Queen wrote many of the songs specifically to match the mood of the scenes when the songs were played, notably Brian May's " Who Wants to Live Forever ", concerning the doomed love of Connor and his wife Heather.
