Now for my favorite sing along, Don't Judge a Book By its Cover. This one's always been my favorite, between the message and the composition (love the "tick-tock" percussion). It was always one that I was apprehensive to recreate until recently, and I am very happy with the results. More songs coming soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this one!

Next Sing Along Stop - Toby!

This was one that I did in my earlier days on here, and I was eager to do it once again but better. I love the brass in this so much, makes it sound very grand, which IMO Toby deserves. Got a few more sing alongs to share after this, so stay tuned, For now, enjoy!

Another redo from days long ago, Let's Have a Race! This was actually the second ever sing along I posted on here, but it was lost to time when I deleted it after a while. Now I present you an all new take that is here to stay. My favorite things about this song are the piano part (especially that gentle opening) and the drum track. Tomorrow I might take a quick day-long break from uploading sing along instrumentals but as I said I have a few more to share, so stay tuned. For now, enjoy!

Another one, a new one for my page, He's a Really Useful Engine! Always loved this one as kid, and massively preferred this version over the TATMRR one (Though as a kid I had know idea why). Not to say Hummie Mann's isn't good, but you can't beat the original. Enjoy!

Back with another sing along instrumental! I know I did Rules and Regulations relatively recently (late 2018) but I thought it could use a do-over. I reused Carson's guitar part from the initial recreation but in future we might update it. Anyways, just two more left from the original batch of songs, so stay tuned. Till then, enjoy!

Rules And Regulations - Instrumental Recreation Redone (Feat. Carson's Music Shop)

Here's the penultimate sing along from the 1991 batch, the Island Song! This one's always been one I loved, so majestic and grand. I attempted this many years ago but ultimately never finished it. Now I have finished it and am proud to share it with you. I know I have one more song left, and it's gonna be a minute due to IRL stuff but I haven't forgotten about it. Stay tuned! For now, enjoy this instrumental recreation of The Island Song!

Percy And The Haunted Mine Suite - Season 6

Happy Holidays! This is a piece that I put out on Audius in 2020, but I've recently touched it up a bit and thought it was time to put it on SoundCloud. Love this piece, and I hope you enjoy my recreation of it!

Thomas Delivers The Tree - Season 6

Another track I've neglected to finish and upload, Duck's S3 Theme. Love this variation, definitely one of the most unique sounding leads in this era of Thomas music (combination of Flute, Piccolo, Trumpet, Bigg Brass and high strings), and all around is such a feel-good piece. Hope you all enjoy!

Duck The Great Western Engine's Theme (Two Variations) - Season 3

Here's another theme that I've been sitting on (get ready for a lot of those lol), Percy's Crash/Danger theme from A Scarf For Percy. Before anyone asks, yes, I plan on doing the other variations of this theme. For now, enjoy this version!

Percy's Crash Theme, Scarf Variation - Season 3

I wasn't happy with the original, so I spent the past year-and-a-bit reworking it.

I'll probably do it again, but for now at least, here's this.

The Snow Song • Instrumental Cover [Remastered 2024]

At long last, I present to you the final  1991 sing along, "That's What Friends are For." I wasn't going to do this one at first because I don't hate my first recreation of it, but I decided that it deserved a do-over anyway. Glad to finally have all of the first batch of sing along songs done from Thomas. Perhaps I should do the Season 5 ones next...

Anyways, please enjoy!

That's What Friends Are For - Sing Along Instrumental

Been on a bit of a Season 5 kick and have been cooking up some stuff I think y'all will like. To start off, here's Oliver's theme from "Oliver's Find," which is a beautiful rendition. A bit more whimsical and a far cry from his march-like theme from Season 3, but it is a lovely version that I have been meaning to do for a while. So here it is; I hope you all enjoy!

Oliver The Great Western Engine's Theme - Season 5 (Mail Train Variant) (Updated 7/23/24)

Here's another one I've been cooking, Toby's "Exploring" Theme from Toby's Discovery. I wasn't always a fan of Oliver's theme being repurposed for Toby, but it has grown on me significantly. The highlight of this piece though is when that diminisehd harp gliss plays and the "journey" really begins. IDK how I feel about the motif that plays when the castle is revealed (no clue what instrument was used) but overall I'm very happy with my recreation of this beautiful piece, and I hope you all enjoy it as well!

Toby's Discovery Theme - Season 5 (Updated 7/23/24)

Here's one that's been on the backburner for a while. Thought it would be good to share given the S5 kick I've been on lately. This is probably my second favorite rendition of the S5 danger theme (Put Upon Percy takes the cake for me) and it's regarded as one of the best pieces of music in Thomas. I hope you enjoy my recreation of it!
