Doctor Who is a long running British science fiction TV series aired on the BBC since 1963. The period I watched was during the 80's (the best cast version of the 'Doctor' in my opinion!). My favourite part of the show was always the amazing and easily recognizable theme music, written by Ron Grainer. The opening theme has gone through various updates over the years, but when it first came out it was one of the first TV themes to use electronic music, and is regarded as a pretty innovative piece of electronic music recorded well before synthesizers or multitrack mixers became widely used. The story of how it was recorded is a quite fascinating. There's a great documentary about Delia Derbyshire, the woman who created much of the sounds in the original theme in BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, using recordings of found objects, cutting and manipulating tape by hand to create the 'electronic' sounds you hear in the music. She never got writing credit but should have. 
Here's a link to the documentary:

This is a cover that focuses mostly on the original theme, but blends in a few elements of the more recent variations. I also added a second more atmospheric 'epilogue' section, that includes a sample of dialogue from one of the show's episodes. 

I've wanted to try playing this theme forever, and had some fun tinkering on my synthesizer to get the sounds as close as possible, especially that main ghostly synth melody. 
If you've heard it before this might bring back memories! Thanks for listening.

'Doctor Who' TV Theme (cover + epilogue)

'In A Moment' is a smooth jazz piece and just reflects my mood at the time of writing.

Lyrics:

It's an unfinished life
That I find lies before me
An open-ended dream
And I don't want to wake
I've crossed so many rivers
In search of crystal fountains
I've found the truest paths
Always lead through mountains
I've seen water on the sky
And fire burning on the lake

You said to me
I cannot make you happy
Like a wounded bird
You must find the strength to fly
Time can paint the tree tops
With colours of the rainbow
But you cannot find the end
No matter how you try

It's a journey with my soul
That I am taking
One that only goes
From the cradle to the grave
Going 'round in circles
Like painted dancing horses
Up and down we ride
On the wooden courses
And light from a lover's eyes
Is all that I can save

You said to me
I cannot make you happy
Like a wounded bird
You must find the strength to fly
Time can paint the tree tops
With colours of the rainbow
But you cannot find the end
No matter how you try

So I'll take the day and run
Out across the open fields
Where the grass grows high
And the shadows fall
Where my eyes can see
All the colours in the air
So quiet that the wind
Whistles in my hair
And takes the rising dust
And carries it away

You said to me
I cannot make you happy
Like a wounded bird
You must find the strength to fly
Time can paint the tree tops
With colours of the rainbow
But you cannot find the end
No matter how you try.

But you cannot find the end
No matter how you try.

Another lyric that appeared from nowhere,  should this guy leave  a dying relationship? Genre: Dark Gothic Rock - who knew such a thing existed. I loved it, as soon as I heard it. May even upload some covers in a similar style. I know it's overkill but getting to know it.

Lyrics
Well when…
yesterday’s deaths are tomorrow’s lack of news
the headlines read a tragedy of a rich man’s point of view
while all around we struggle as their fight goes on and out
we’re just candles in a monsoon and a lightning strike in drought
We feed monsters in our heads
We beat monsters under our bed 
We need monsters to aim our guns
We feel monsters to regret what’s done
Yeah we are monsters

With every breath a fresh chance a new time to be awake
but we’d rather hate our enemies than befriend a fool who’s fake
with every shot not taken that’s saved up ‘til the end
dying in our apathy in our wake we’ll still pretend
that every day’s a new day another chance to be alive
instead we choose the monsters feed them demon’s ‘til they thrive
We feed monsters in our heads
We beat monsters under our beds
We need monsters to aim our guns
We feel monsters to regret  
Do you regret what’s done
Monsters…just monsters 
We’re monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters 
We’re just monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters
We’re all monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters
They’re all monsters of new old monsters
We’ll all monsters and monsters and monsters
All monsters of monsters their monsters
All monsters of monsters they’re monsters
We’re all monsters of their old monsters
Monsters of their old monsters
They’re monsters
Same old monsters

Hey you over there
Sitting in the window chair
Look my way again
Wonder if you felt it then
You act like I never happened
You were just imagination

Look my way

I work as a nurse in the state of Florida and I love being there for people in need. My other true passion is making music. I'm kind of an amateur but I look forward to getting better and making the best music I can.

Most the songs I do in about a day and then move on. I don't have the skill to make them radio quality yet, but I hope with collaborating with others and making my own music I will learn some skills along the way. I don't focus on perfection, I focus on emotion and try to put feeling into my music.

Also, I love to get lost in other peoples work, I will often play video games while listening to a bunch of someone else's works and commenting on the ones I like the most, not all though, don't wanna seem like a stalker, unless you like that of course.

Been feeling a little burnt out lately, so if I'm not responsive please don't take it personal. Having to work OT to keep the family afloat, so I haven't had time for music and when I do have any time I'm just too exhausted. I definitely want to make more it brings me a lot of joy to make music. At the same time it is very taxing, reaching into the depths can sometimes cause unwanted feelings to linger longer than they should. Anyway, I love all the support you have all sent my way. See ya around!

Look my way
