Thomas The Tank Engine BGM (S4)

Many of you will know Mainland Studios, the guy that creates very faithful content to the original Thomas series (especially his Series 2 videos and CGI renders!). He has an upcoming story about number '98462', an engine many of you RWS heads will know as one of the original 'bigger' engines that would berate poor old Edward before he was let out again. Anyway, he's a pretty spiteful engine so I thought it would be suiting to give him a 'lurking' theme, he reminds me of some sort of a snivelling sidekick to Gordon.

98462's Theme

The Adventure Begins is my personal favourite TTTE film, especially due to the role Edward had. His theme in the film is also arranged fantastically, though unfortunately, it is very short and immediately transitions to Thomas'. So, last December, I've commissioned @thomassebymg to make an extended cover of them, and boy did he blow it out of the water!
The theme is absolutely free to use, just make sure to credit Seby for it (if you don't do that, I'll personally make sure you'll be haunted by the ghost of the Awdry). In addition, I've included a link below with non-compressed version of this theme, as well as Thomas' Train theme that Seby graciously offered to cover for the included price:

Edward's TAB Theme Extended (by ThomasSeby MG)

The Flying Kipper

Contexto histórico y biográfico
   •   Composición: Escrita por Paul McCartney como una declaración de amor a su esposa Linda McCartney.
   •   Grabación: Se registró en enero de 1973 en los estudios Abbey Road con su grupo Wings.
   •   Álbum: Publicada en el álbum Red Rose Speedway (1973), segundo disco de Wings tras Wild Life (1971).
   •   Lanzamiento: Salió como sencillo en marzo de 1973 y rápidamente alcanzó el número 1 en el Billboard Hot 100 de EE.UU., consolidando a McCartney como solista tras la separación de los Beatles.
   •   Arreglo musical: Balada romántica con orquestación de Richard Hewson y un memorable solo de guitarra a cargo de Henry McCullough, guitarrista de Wings, que improvisó la parte en la grabación en lugar de seguir la línea escrita por McCartney.

⸻

Importancia musical
   •   Estilo: Una de las primeras power ballads de McCartney en solitario, destacada por su sencillez melódica y emotividad.
   •   Recepción: Aunque la crítica del álbum Red Rose Speedway fue tibia, My Love se transformó en un clásico de su repertorio, especialmente en conciertos, donde solía dedicarla a Linda.
   •   Legado: Con el tiempo, se consolidó como una de las canciones de amor más icónicas de McCartney, junto a Maybe I’m Amazed.

Letra original (resumen en inglés)

El texto expresa la certeza y plenitud que siente McCartney al tener a Linda a su lado. Se repite la idea de que “su amor no tiene límites” y que él lo sabe con seguridad, transmitiendo ternura y devoción.

Traducción al español de la letra

(Versión fiel, sin rima forzada)

Mi amor

Y cuando ando por ahí
Mi amor me envuelve.

Y si cae el día en que estoy solo,
De algún modo siempre estaré con mi amor.

Mi amor no tiene límites,
No, no, no, no.
Mi amor no tiene límites,
Oh, no.

Y cuando el nuevo día amanece
Mi amor brilla.

Y con un suspiro para mis sentimientos
De algún modo sabré que siempre estaré con mi amor.

Mi amor no tiene límites,
No, no, no, no.
Mi amor no tiene límites,
Oh, no.

Mi amor no tiene límites…

Curiosidades de “My Love”

1. Inspiración íntima
   •   Paul la escribió como una dedicatoria personal a Linda McCartney, con quien compartía no solo la vida sino también el proyecto musical de Wings.
   •   En los conciertos, solía decir antes de tocarla: “This one’s for Linda”.

⸻

2. El famoso solo de guitarra
   •   El guitarrista Henry McCullough no quiso seguir la línea de solo que Paul había escrito.
   •   Con audacia, pidió grabar su propia improvisación en una sola toma.
   •   Ese solo espontáneo se convirtió en uno de los más celebrados de la discografía de McCartney, al punto que Paul reconoció públicamente su valor artístico.

⸻

3. Éxito inmediato
   •   Publicada como sencillo en 1973, fue número 1 en EE.UU. (Billboard Hot 100).
   •   En Reino Unido alcanzó el puesto 9, siendo un gran logro porque Wings aún no había consolidado del todo su identidad tras los Beatles.

⸻

4. La orquestación
   •   El arreglo de cuerdas fue hecho por Richard Hewson, quien también había trabajado en “I Me Mine” de los Beatles.
   •   Esa orquesta le dio el carácter de balada romántica atemporal.

⸻

5. En vivo
   •   Wings la interpretó en la gira de 1973 y luego se volvió un clásico en los conciertos de Paul.
   •   Aparece en discos en vivo como Wings Over America (1976).
   •   Tras la muerte de Linda en 1998, Paul la siguió tocando como homenaje.

⸻

6. Legado
   •   Se la considera hermana espiritual de Maybe I’m Amazed (1970), otro tema de amor de Paul a Linda.
   •   Ha sido versionada por artistas de jazz, pop y soul, lo que confirma su lugar en el repertorio romántico universal.

In this particular remix, not only is it Gordon's S8-12 theme, but the end also remixes the S14-16 variant of his theme (you can find the latter version here btw: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sQFRL01o64)
A huge thanks goes to Oliver11GWR for changing elements of the composition for the better. You can keep up with him on YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud and Discord. Here are those links:

Gordon's Theme (Extended) | S8 - 16

The Viaduct Theme Orchestrated

Being that today is the 8th day of the 8th month, I just had to upload a theme of the number 8 engine. 

Here's another one of Duck's themes from Season 2, very similar to his infamous "tired" theme from Dirty Work, but this one is at a lower pitch and has a slower tempo. Others have made edits of this theme, but usually all of those other edits use looped clips in them in some of the narration-covered spots. This version has no repeated clips and is as smooth as it possibly can be given the resources we have. Big thanks to the brilliant MKtheinstrumentalist for his help in cleaning the theme, especially at short notice and despite him being busy.

Expect the next theme to be something from Season 6.

Feel free to use this theme as you please, just credit me.

This theme was written by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell.
