The Doctor's Theme (Forest of the Dead Variant) - Doctor Who Unreleased Music

I love The Doctor's Theme, in all its forms. My favorite of all of Murray Gold's motifs. The variation of The Doctor's Theme heard at the end of Forest of the Dead is very similar to the version on the series 4 soundtrack. The notable differences being, it's much longer, much less vocals, extra piano segments and the added percussion towards the end. Enjoy.

It never fails to amaze me how a T.V show has such an amazing quality of soundtrack

When you run with the doctor...

[@Jack-hr9xw]

It feels like it will never end

But however hard you try, you can't run forever.

Everybody knows that everybody dies, and nobody knows it like the Doctor.

Donna, this book contains pages upon pages of my future I could look you up...

[@tesseract5569]

Thing is though, if they did look Donna up they still wouldn't know her true ending as River never got to see it. 12 was the last Doctor she met

[@Spuffy24]

This scene always makes me cry. Love the music

[@olympicging1155]

There's something about the way the backing strings seem to pulsate in this mix and the occasional "glitching out" sort of wispy sounds (if you get what I mean) that takes this piece higher. Awesome work.

[@jamescooley8099]

It does that because it was badly put together. It actually starts to hurt when using headphones.

[@olympicging1155]

Yeah, it is "badly" put together (I put quotes because given how tough it is to remove voices and other things from instrumentals to get a clean instrumental, this is actually an alright sounding mix). Maybe I just have either bad hearing or bad headphones, but it doesn't hurt my ears at all.

[@robodoesedits8666]

This is PHENOMINAL i always loved this version of the theme!

[@Jerrrbear]

This is amazing! You have found a way to further expand the profundity and depth of Murray Gold’s mastery.

[@hollymatton474]

I love this! Murray Gold's music is the best!

[@HLR4th]

I’m so glad he’s back!

[@hollymatton474]

I just wanted to say how excited I am that murray gold is returning to doctor who! ❤️😊

[@maciejwisniewski496]

Her one last run with The Doctor 😢

[@Mad_Man_With_A_Box]

And his first

[@Jack-hr9xw]

0:53 love that

[@TheLowerDecker]

3:00 reminds me of The Good Man theme!

[@GearheadMedia_]

Technically, the Good Man theme should remind you of this, as this came out first :) But, i do see what you mean. Nice catch!

[@plantainsame2049]

And it was 12 she last met like poetry

[@gchandler10]

This is awesome! Probably some of my favourite music of all time tbh, I've always loved this arrangement and can't believe how clean this version sounds! Nice work!

[@mechomo]

Literally have been looking for this for years!!!

[@yannatoko9898]

I was listening to another rip of this earlier, thanks a lot!

Very good congrats!

Beautiful!

[@toasterwaffleowen4709]

"Oh, look at that! I'M VERY GOOD!" "What have you done?" "Saved her!"

[@themelonempirechannel]

if you mix with the normal soundtrack if you unpause this at 2:14 at the right time you might make it more cooler

[@pottenfamily1423]

Amazing , fantastic, brilliant, Beautiful music

[@vorpalweapon4814]

This is awesome

[@MrTambourineMan.]

The score for this story was amazing. Especially this theme. It feels so etherial

[@lenners9701]

I know a huge part of this in Matt Smiths never tell me the rules but I'd have to argue this is better. I love this track soooo much

[@thewalrusman57]

Amazing

[@johnmarshall6394]

An earlier "Never tell me the rules" moment before the real one!

[@thomashaigh6098]

Shall we peek at the end?

[@TA-zq3ez]

_Spoilers, right?_

[@LondonCelt]

Come on, next chapter’s this way

[@Fusorf]

Thank you for this 😊 what tracks did you use to make this ?

[@Jackardy]

The piano, percussion and vocal elements I extracted as isolated elements from the episodes score but because the full track wasn't completely clean I had to piece together the rest. I used The Doctor's Theme from the series 4 soundtrack and removed the vocals from it for the main chunk of the track. For the sort "ambient" strings sound throughout the start of this track, I extracted it from The Stolen Earth just after The Doctor is shot by the Dalek.

[@Fusorf]

@@Jackardy cleaaaaan! nice work

[@DavidSmith-gx8ee]

Riddle me this what’s the tardis without a doctor? It’s a doctor.

[@TOSTERSQUIRELGAMES]

Saved her.

[@basiliskboy17]

This is a recreation? It sounds damn near identical to the original! Have you considered doing the variations of This is Gallifrey from series 10?

The climaxxx

[@EternalPayne]

To me this is The Doctor AND River's theme

[@mikebliss3153]

It isn't, but that's okay.

[@MCLegend13]

Nah this is the 10th Doctors theme

[@mikebliss3153]

@@MCLegend13 I'd even argue it's the best at representing The Doctor as a whole.

Have to say tge 10th doctors theme is the bet of them all , triumphant, epic , powerful!!! Wonderful piece of music
