Every Episode The Long Song Plays In | Doctor Who

[@hotelmario510]

I love that Dot and Bubble is like an inverted version, illustrating the Doctor's utter failure rather than his triumph. Still can't believe what a gut punch that episode was.

[@stephaniepage4334]

Same

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

Jesus Christ I forgot how much of a good Doctor Matt Smith is. Nails every single line.

[@rudenotginger123]

that dot and bubble variation is just something else. it's been in my head non-stop since the episode landed.

[@RenSako]

It's not a variation, though. It's not The Long Song and it annoys me that people in these comments insist it is. Use your ears. It isn't there, and repeatedly claiming it is doesn't change anything.

[@Pokewho-6475]

Deep breath it plays in the scene where 11 phones Clara to make her stay with 12 and when she hugs 12

[@peliviadhimba1805]

It dosent but if it did it would be beautiful 😊😊😊😢

[@AuroraButterflyx]

I going to say rings of Akhaten is one of my faves episodes and the Long Song is my favourite song from Doctor who. Everytime i hear it makes me so happy

[@diamant_2dot0]

I mean, every time I heaar it it makes me sad, but in a good way 🤣

[@robparsons5219]

Just noticed that the phrase from the Long Song used in Dot and Bubble was the "Wake Up" refrain. It repeats over and over, as if it's calling out to the Finetime survivors. Turn around. Break the bubble. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up! Brilliant stuff from Murray as always!

[@RenSako]

But it's not a reference and this wasn't The Long Song. It's literally one note. One fucking note, and y'all are acting like it's a callback. You guys have successfully taken something beautiful- allegorical, motif driven music- and ruined it. I can't even enjoy the soundtrack as much because some Whovian loser will come up and be like "uhm actually this is a callback to ______" because one note plays that sounds vaguely similar to the moment they're talking about. It's so annoying, because there actually is a lot of reference in the Who score and they ignore every one of them, then turn around and *insist* reference exists where it doesn't. They could be enjoying the score for what it is, but they need that top comment spot too badly.

@@RenSako Look man I get what you're saying & understand cuz I kinda see it too but calm down. I can literally feel you losing it that's not good.

[@RenSako]

@@Comicbroe405 Considering Murray Gold has gone on record saying he interacts with fans on KZbin and the like, I think I'm somewhat justifiably angry. He puts a lot of work this and people hear one note and scream "HURR ITS DA LONG SONG" while missing all of the actual motif work he does? I'd be a bit insulted and give up, personally.

[@BrumeGhost]

" i walked in a universe where the laws of physics where written by a mad man" then we get the toy maker back haha

[@calebhowells1116]

I’m pretty sure that was a reference to Omega.

[@octaviasaenz6666]

@@calebhowells1116 he could be talking about both of those + the world from The Mind Robber as the actual line is "I walked in universes (plural!) where the laws of physics where written by a mad man." Guy's been to some crazy places!

I don’t know why but it brings out the water works every time

[@octaviasaenz6666]

I love these videos because looking at all the placements of a theme together makes it easier to figure out what each theme means to the composer. Like here, it seems to me the Long Song represents everything the Doctor has experienced, which is why it comes up during his regeneration speech. And then in Dot and Bubble it's like "well now I sure have seen everything" because in all his adventures it's the first time the people he's trying to save have rejected him and gone off to their deaths.

Yay, you're back! I've missed these compilation videos so much.

[@hollymatton474]

The Rings of Akhaten remains one of my favourite episodes! The music in it is beautiful, especially The Long Song! I've loved all the different variations of it with had since this episode and I can't wait to see if murray gold comes up with any other versions of it for future episodes! Thanks for this! 😊😊

[@AuroraButterflyx]

Same, very unappreciative episode. I just love the setting, story and plot is pretty interesting.

[@dinahbird7473]

Bro, this song was the song that turned me into a Whovian

[@timothystout4259]

They can never make me hate you doctor who

[@ajexgcze6453]

And in the last episode in the end was The Lone Dalek

[@michaelm5542]

Thank you for uploading this... sneeze aside, Smith's regeneration always makes me emotional. Also, random aside, didn't Bad Wolf play in Power of the Doctor?

[@peterskrobola8753]

The Rings of Akhaten speech is so good and the Doctor’s plan doesn’t work at all. They need the magical Clara leaf to save the day.

[@Blazing_Ninja]

I’m glad you’re back! (for now at least)

[@CultOfThirteen]

We’re planning to upload some more videos soon ❤️ 😊

[@Blazing_Ninja]

@@CultOfThirteen Awesome!

[@brianbp4f]

I knew it. I heard the theme

[@hallyhop]

How did I not notice that in dot and bubble 😱

[@RenSako]

Because it's not actually there lol, people need to stop acting like one reused chord = reference. All I've learned since the 60th is that Doctor Who fans are basically musically illiterate and seriously need to stop pretending motifs show up when they don't. We get enough treats as fans, we don't have to force square pegs into round holes every. single. time music plays in this damn show.

[@Zestieee]

Make one on the Fifteenth's theme if you can, would like to see it

[@gallifreyan_07]

I knew I recognised it in dot and bubble 👏

[@herokyl3173]

I think we can all assume that the next video is Every Episode The Master Vainglorious Plays In (UPDATE). Am I right ?

This is good

[@Legendary3Dgamer]

The one in the Time of the doctor isn't the same song 😂

[@legendswarble2845]

It's definitely a rendition of it. There's no lyrics, but it sounds pretty much the same

[@tanmaydeshpande]

​@@legendswarble2845Its the track which follows immediately after Long Song. It's called Infinite Potential in the album

[@frederickcubbins]

The song is a rendition that integrates Trenzalor and the Long Song

[@CultOfThirteen]

On the official Murray gold soundtrack it’s called Trenzalore/The Long Song/I Am Information

[@tanmaydeshpande]

​@@CultOfThirteen That track is actually named wrong, for some reason. I am Information never appears in the track, and the main track contains Trenzalore, Infinite Potential, and Mad Man With a Box Whoever named the track did an oopsie.

[@obiwankenobi687]

Oh look there he is sobbing again, Jesus Christ this is the man who the daleks are supposed to be scared of

[@CultOfThirteen]

My god he was just racially abused. Being open to showing emotions doesn’t make him any more or less of a threat.

[@obiwankenobi687]

@@CultOfThirteen he’s been black for a single regeneration. The guys a white dude essentially posing as a black guy, it shouldn’t affect him. He’s also been sobbing almost every episode. He’s the most least doctor doctor we’ve ever had, could you really see this bloke in 9’s role against the Dalek emperor, as 10 against the family of blood, in waters of mars. As 11 in a good man goes to war, as 12 in literally any episode. He’s been turned from a dark figure, a godlike fury, an alien being, into a random camp guy crying at every opportunity. A Dalek literally wouldn’t know what to do with him, they’d be like 🤨 THIS is the Doctor? Massive character assassination this random guy is just not the Doctor. He’s a random bloke who nicked 14’s Doctor to run around playing pretend. No wonder the viewing figures and audience appreciation for this are the lowest they have ever been. The fans have left. There’s nobody left. Very sad

[@CultOfThirteen]

This just feels like a longwinded way of being a bit offensive towards Gatwa.

[@obiwankenobi687]

@@CultOfThirteen he’s brilliant in sex education, god awful in Doctor Who. Might be offensive to you it’s just my opinion. He is easily the worst Doctor we have ever had, he doesn’t even deserve that title. He is so far removed from anything that makes the Doctor the Doctor. The guy being presented on a Saturday evening is absolutely nothing of a character, he is nobody. RTD must know he made a mistake casting him, Ncuti himself has said himself he got mad on set as he has no idea why he was cast (well, we know why) and RTD has had him vanish for two episodes now. Every scene is worse when he is in them. And he’s the main character for gods sake

[@nunbxtch]

@@obiwankenobi687 the same could be said about literally any doctor. and at the end of the day it would just be an OPINION.
