Thomas and Friends Halloween Songs

Fall Time Thinks That it's the Best and Totally it Is

My first real attempt at, well, music, I recreated Edward's theme from Thomas & Friends. It's not based off any particular version of his theme, just something nice.

Edward's Theme (freelance)

I tried my hand at making Bill and Ben's theme. I'm not sure I got it quite right, but It's certainly something.

Bill And Ben's Theme

Across The Sea

The more intense variation of The Breakdown Train Theme from 'Pop Goes The Diesel', from the Thomas the Tank Engine series.

The Breakdown Train Theme (Series 2)

The variant of 'The Breakdown Train Theme' used in the Series 2 episode 'Break Van' from the Thomas the Tank Engine series.

The Breakdown Train Theme (Series 2 'Break Van' Variant)

On October 2nd, I drove 3 hours to see something I hadn't known existed 2-weeks before: The Prairie Village, Herman & Milwaukee Railroad.  It was a long drive, but, by God, it was worth every second and more!  In addition to being...well, you know...a train, the line was set in a beautiful location!  The people were friendly and I had a lovely time!  They've closed for the season, but I highly recommend you make a trip out there if you can!  Tickets were $2!  $5 if you wanted a pumpkin!

The music was filling a few voids I've been feeling lately: Piano music accompanied by orchestra (it's usually the other way around), and train music.  Since this was filmed in October, I went for a heavier tone.  I think it worked fairly well!

Jack-O-Lanterns & Coal Smoke

Spooky Scary Skeletons

Prologue - .01 Haunted Henry (Original Soundtrack)

If you should wander paths unknown,
through verdant woods and fields sown,
‘round fen and bog, through storm and fog,
you may hear a cry far off and alone.

The tone is clear like the chime of a bell,
And though the sound has long since fell
it hangs in the air and it drifts everywhere.
And then comes a sight quite worthy to tell.

A billowing cloud and a thunderous roar
‘ore the hill, ‘round the bend, the clamor does soar.
Then flashing it comes, with a rolling like drums,
and it passes away, like a wave on the shore.

You, oh my friend, have just seen a ghost!
Once did they roam here from mountain to coast.
Now gone are they, gone with yesterday.
Only in memory does the lonesome call boast.

You, my dear friend, have just seen a ghost…



The Northern Type steam locomotive was a triumph of American steam railroading.  First introduced in 1926, these beasts roamed the coastlines and mountain passes of the nation’s busiest routes until as late as 1963.

They were fast, strong, reliable, versatile, and were very popular with passengers.  The locomotives were characterized by their eight 80-inch diameter driving wheels and four supporting wheels on each end of the massive boiler. 

They were called by many names: “Greenbrier”, “Dixie”, “Niagara”, and “Potomac,” just to name a few, but their most common name was “Northern”, and so they are commonly known today.

Many were preserved after retirement and one even remains active on the locomotive roster of a Class I railroad to this day.  These engines are like ghosts of the rails.  Specters, haunting the line, crying out after a bygone era, the like of which had never been seen before, nor ever will be seen again.

Ghosts - .01 Ghosts of the Northern

Hey, hey! Guess who’s back! Anyways, here’s another one of the sing-along songs covered. This was made for a (cancelled) collab that was due to release on/around Halloween, though I finished this much quicker than intended and decided to upload it here for others to listen to before the collab was due to be finished. I hope you all enjoy this!

I want to do more than this, but for now, this will do.  Dakota winters are harsh.  Every year we have blizzards and snow into late April and even May.

It's never too late to do something with the quarantine situation.  I haven't really had too much free time.  On-line classes for some reason seem to take more time.  Easter is my favorite holiday and I'll be damned before I let some quarantine keep me from trying to make it special.  I found this choir VST and decided to test it on some Requiem Mass in D minor inspired stuff.  Then I added the hymn "Jesus Christ is Risen Today".  Satan, you can work hard to stop us, but through God's grace and power we'll always fight harder.  HE IS RISEN!

This Is Halloween (S1/2 Style)

Merry Christmas!  I'm still alive!  I have about 22 minutes of stuff I haven't released yet and I plan on doing that before the new year.  I wrote this for GreatWesternLegacy's adaptation of this RWS series.  I wanted to make it different, so I went for a more season 7 vibe.

There's a thick fog on the Island.  Thomas and Perc are annoying Gordon and Henry, so they make up a story about a demon in the workshop across from the sheds.  Thomas gets "pulled" into the fog by a demon which scares Gordon and Henry more than they had intended to scare the little engines.
