[@DonnaLang42rockglobally]

Murray Gold has always had a knack for writing music that seems to have been around for years, and that's definitely true of "The Life of Sunday". I close my eyes, and it's like watching a silent movie about a girl who has seen tragedy in her life and is trying to work through it by channeling it all into the keys of a piano. It's quite simply modern classical music.

[@spiralx6249]

It reminds me a lot of The Godfather film music. Or Morricone in reflective mode.

[@krauterz]

I was expecting her personality to be more…quirky and loud. But this theme is really quiet and thoughtful almost. There’s a sadness to it.

[@AFCDaniel_]

Or one of her parents has some Celestial heritage which is why snow appeard around her and the doctor as well as the memory changing in the doctors head and how Meastro said 'she has power like him' alluding to one of the power people in the Toymaker Legion

[@ftumschk]

This is gorgeous, maybe the finest Companion theme I've heard. For those who know their "classical" music, it really wouldn't be out of place in a Shostakovich piano concerto - it's that good. Nice one, Murray!

[@melonlordx]

This must be why I love it

[@minecraftrotisseriechicken]

Easily one of Murray's best scores. It's so different from what I was anticipating for Ruby's character. Tragic, maybe slightly romantic/historical waltz. It's up there with Thomas Newman's 'Night Window' from 1917, or even some 19th century Russian classical music. Calling it now, she's not going to have a happy ending, 15 is going to be very lonely.

[@asteronii]

i feel like the best part of listening to the themes for the first time is you get your first look as to how the story is going to be, i feel like i already know so much about 15th’s and Ruby’s personality and how they might interact just by listening to both of their themes AND THEIR EPISODES ARENT EVEN OUT

[@banjopiggottwright1802]

I don't think there's even been a more sadder sounding theme for a companion than this one. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love it, it's as fresh as it is beautiful and surprisingly cinematic, however that sadness/mournful tone felt throughout the piece gives it a layer of complexity and intrigue that poetically contrasts the incredibly triumphant and cinematic 15th Doctor's Theme which sets up Season 1 (Series 14) from a musical standpoint as one of most beautifully complex seasons of Doctor Who ever conceived. Murray Gold has returned with a vengeance and I'm loving it.

[@matthewlacey4198]

I love this theme and I'm excited to see how different elements of it fit into her story There's sadness at the start, gradual fleshing out, wistfulness, a sort of whimsical quality, a classical angle to it, its waltzy and elegant and pretty but also sad and like it's searching for something else

[@dxctr_master]

somethings up with Ruby… there’s gunna be some twists and turns with her character and her origins. With the classical music vibe and also a renaissance themed episode probably am reaching a lot but would love if she’s a companion out of time, she was born in the past and taken somehow to modern day

[@quintencrook6068]

This would be awesome. I think they said she is adopted, so what if it's an Ace situation where the Doctor saves her from a timeline where she wouldn't have been happy to give her a chance at a better life?

[@HollowBoy04]

With the rumours going around I think she’s gonna be his daughter

[@IHARumor]

@@HollowBoy04I don’t think so, simply because Ncuti said that the 15th Doctor and Ruby are like two best mates. So the relationship would be completely different if Ruby was his daughter lol

[@Kaptime]

I heard a rumour that the 2005 companion (Rose) was originally supposed to have been created by the Doctor specifically to be his perfect companion.

[@dxctr_master]

@@quintencrook6068 that would be so lovely, I really hope w this new era there’s a mix of Russell’s drama but the whimsical and family vibes from Moffat’s

[@772Dinoman]

I feel like Ruby is going to have a great character moment with this piece playing- it’s almost a lament to the realities of traveling with The Doctor. It’s always proposed as exciting and fun, an adventure, when really you just see death in all of its forms, but with the hopefulness that you, as the companion, can help make it better.

We haven't even met her yet, but I think this may be my favourite of Gold's 'companion' themes so far. Knowing nothing of her character yet, there is such an underlying tragedy implicit in this, that I expect we're going to find out that she's terminally ill.

[@hecty8667]

Damn this hit differently in 73 yards...

[@ob4161]

73 Yards was when I fell in love with this theme.

[@staticalmite624]

This is so interesting to me. Throughout the series thus far, Ruby has been so bubbly and energetic - defiant, sure, but that defiance is almost self sacrificing to me. She only seems to be so whenever its someone else in danger and not her; in space babies she distracts the monster, banging on the metal despite the fact that for all she knows the monster could kill her, in boom when passing the container to the doctor despite the fact that if it goes wrong it'll kill her, and now in 73 Yards- it takes someone else being abused for her to take action to bring down the Prime Minister, and never at any point does she try to take action against the woman standing 73 yards away. Nonetheless, her theme reflects that, you'd expect it to be joyful and whimsical, but instead its slow and sad, but there's this underlying beauty to it. I wouldnt be surprised if the season ended with Ruby having to make some sorta sacrifice

[@bonniestar4707]

I think part of that comes from being an abandoned child and helping her adoptive mother look after other children. Like how she climbed up a ladder in the sky to save her foster sister from being eaten by Goblins.

This peice is amazing, seems like Ruby will be full of trauma, regrets but also mystery, curiosity, perseverance and the need to get away from it all which will all be bundled up with 15's personality to make the dream duo!

[@lorz8940]

This is really far fetched but a few months back I came up with the idea of a companion with a terminal disease, and the doctor taking her with them to show her the universe for her to see the universe at last and come to terms with her fate Due to the somber and sad nature of this theme i could very well imagine a plot like that

Then after she gets done with work, she heads to a shop and buys flowers. She then gets on a bicycle and heads over to a cemetery. There we will see tombstones of either her parents or friends and she drops off the flowers to them. Then after that she will meet the Doctor.

I really love her theme, I actually don't know the themes for the other companions. This is truly the first theme of a companion I actually have fully noticed. I have so far really loved the first four episodes of the new Series. I really think that episodes like Boom, and especially 73 Yards really stand out and feel like real proper episodes of Doctor Who. Not saying Space Babies or The Devil's Chord aren't I guess I just liked the darker tones to it. Even though that Space Babies in of itself is also dark, from the fact of a whole planet refusing to help the babies on the station, but also refusing from stopping the baby farm. Devil's Chord was great too, love the use of the music and really just shined on its own. I have high hopes for this new series, and wonder if Ncuti will be here longer than Christopher was with New Who, where as this to me is New New Who. It will be certainly an interesting road. Especially considering that when you remember that Capaldi's Doctor is the first Doctor all over again, considering he is the first on the Doctor's twelve new regenerations. As Matt was technically Doctor 13 (11), and David was both 11 and 12 (10), with Christopher being 10 (9) and John 9 (War).

In many ways, this reminds me of Michael Nyman's score for The Piano; another tale of a female protagonist with much sadness in her life. Stunningly beautiful.

Who’s here after clocking that this is what she plays in devils chord ANOTHER FOURTH WALL BREAK

[@Mark-ns3jo]

Not necessarily. She said she wrote this song for her friend, and it happens to also be her theme. Perhaps there is a reason for that, but it doesn't need to be a fourth wall break as she doesn't acknowledge this is her theme.

[@AjMcIntyre-v2e]

The best companion theme I fear.....

[@AjMcIntyre-v2e]

hard agree

[@daemonishy8222]

oh i can already tell this companion is going to have me sobbing

[@WiloPolis03]

Murray Gold is so incredibly goated, so glad to see he's back

[@jazzmart0412]

This is stunning music!

[@JAProductions494]

I’m probably going crazy but this themes gives me Prince of Egypt vibes If I’m comparing a piece of music to something Hans Zimmer composed, you know it’s good

[@craigkelly4728]

Man in so glad the bro Murray Gold has returned the music feels like it has proper feelings again cant wait for this new era of dr who its gonna be like a second renaissance 👍👌👍👌

[@jordanivanov6797]

It's like a piano concerto of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

[@Chiscringle]

I hope this music is a hint that she'll be more scholastic than our usual companion. Not to say the others aren't intelligent, some of them vastly so. But none of them had that Romana 1 attitude of "if you stop running around, you might notice that there's a button on the wall over there marked 'turn the air back on.'" Walking around sipping a drink while the Doctor is running, she looks at everything closely, then asks if this very important looking thing is important.

So good to have Murray Gold back

[@connorhuested]

Not at all what I was expecting. Will be interesting to see how it plays into her character.

[@thepandoricarestaurant4885]

Why am I crying???

[@alexcooke4856]

Can’t wait to cry as this plays during her final scene, it’s such a beautiful piece of music

[@fozzco]

What a beautiful theme - I can't wait to see how her character plays out accompanied by this theme.

[@AllThingsAlex]

Truly beautiful. Murray gold is truly a master!

[@BacCanale]

Welcome back mr. Murray Gold. We've missed you!

[@starvinmarvin101]

Her mum is rose I’m calling it now

[@stumbling_]

I think this is my favorite companion theme, finally taking over Amy's.

[@lbricks7631]

2nd best Companion theme after Clara's in my opinion, really good stuff Murray.

[@annahazeldine6225]
