The Runaway Theme (S5-6)

Since TTTEParody hasn't finished the video for this, we bring you "Merchandising! Where the real money from the movie is made!" - Mel Brooks

You heard the original in Thomas the Tank Engine, now know the hidden meanings behind the song. Many "thank yous" go to EmilyTopHatFan 1323 for inspiring this fine piece of musical rubbish. 

And rubbish this song is, because the Brenner era is so much an improvement from the Miller era, it doesn't deserve parody. (Edit: So much for that. See #Season22).

Needless to say, apologies to @UpsideNow-Music from TTTEParody, who - in typical fashion - ripped off the backing track from. What else is new? You thought he'd go through the effort he did with The Ballad of Fatt Hatt and make a subpar backing track to go along with his subpar singing? Fatt chance.

Merchandising: The Parody (Feat: TTTEParody)

I say This is one of my Best Theme I've done so far
I hope You enjoy it as much as I made it.

James' Theme Freelance V1

I had been asked to do the Runaway Themes from Seasons 2 & 3, but since they bothed used the Season 1 arrangement as a basis, I thought it only made sense that I did the Season 1 arrangement. So here it is, hope you all enjoy!

Arranged in Acoustica Mixcraft 7 using emulations of the instruments  from the Roland Jupiter-6 Analog Synthesizer and a Linn LM-1 VST. Original Theme composed by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell.

The Runaway Theme - Season 1

Requested by ModPonPonMusic.

I know the theme was never heard exactly like this in the series, but I wanted to combine the best of both worlds (IE Old Iron and Close Shave), and I think it flows together pretty well. 

So basically, this is a combination of the Runaway themes from "Old Iron" and "A Close Shave," with a little twist at the end. Many thanks to MKtheInstrumentalist for making a small instrumental of the end of the Close Shave Runaway; it really helped. The instrumentation is so awesome in this variant. Enjoy!

Arranged in Acoustica Mixcraft 7 using emulations of the instruments from the Roland Jupiter-6 Analog Synthesizer and a Linn LM-1 VST, as well as a few orchestral percussion samples. Original Theme composed by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell.

Yes You heared right. New SynthTrumpets.
I've shortly listend to Gordon's PC Game Theme from Invisiblemario17/AngryBirdFan98 Collab Account and then I had this brilliant Idea. Botht Themes have the about same Tempo. So I had the Idea of Mashing the Themes up and this came out.
Hope You enjoy.

Percy's Theme - Orchestrated

A special birthday gift for my good frined NostalgiaDude1998 of YouTube! Hope you enjoy!

Including the never before heard higher pitched variant!

Special thanks to MKtheinstrumentalist for helping out with this theme.

P.S. - This blew my mind, but MK pointed out that this theme is actually just a variant of Percy's theme in a minor key.  W O A H!

James' Break Van Theme - S6 Remix

Here's a remade Thomas Vs. Gordon Theme

The original Version was actually made for the Scene where Thomas races Gordon to the next Signal Box in The Great Race Movie. I use to make Themes and let it play while the Video was running.
Here's the original Theme I've done one and a Half Year ago:
https://soundcloud.com/user-688967965/tgr12-thomas-vs-gordon

I say, this Theme came out brilliant. Adding the few Little Changes really did the Trick. I especialy like the Piano Slide in the Beginning.

Hopy You all like it

The Runaway Theme - Orchestrated

Today is this episode's 15th anniversary!  I've been wanting to do this theme for a while now as it's a great theme and it's at a lower pitch than the other variants of this theme.  Thankfully it came out very clean thanks to a video on TSUMIKI MINIWA's channel which had some important portions of the theme in good clean stereo quality (you can watch that video here: https://goo.gl/f7ZF1d).  As always, enjoy!

Special thanks to TSUMIKI MINIWA for some important sections of the theme, ThomasFan3004 for the Polish dub and GWshunter for a high quality DVD rip of the Japanese dub.  Additional thanks to Brandon Hargus for the UK dub.

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

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