WOW. This is absolutely an S tier theme. Despite how great all the recent themes have been, I genuinely think this is your best theme since Spencer. 10 MONTHS AGO. You really outdid yourself.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Wow I really appreciate it thank you! I took some risks in changing things up a bit with this one I'm glad you liked it :)

The "various instruments Lukes" were very groovy in this video. Only "train whistle Luke" didn't look entirely pleased, who knows why. Many thanks to Moisés for his beautiful playing and kudos to you for arranging such a lively, interesting piece with lots of subtle variations that I enjoyed thoroughly. As for those souls in need of a reshuffle who don't like a soprano sax solo, don't look at me as I love it and I love how you used it in this video.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha the whistle luke was deep in concentration 😂 Thanks for watching idraote!

[@SheffieldNo14Productions]

This episode bugged me just because you could see Thomas’ train change rolling stock between shots. I loved the runaway part, your jazz arrangements are always amazing

Awesome job Luke definitely a classic and I just love the addition of the train whistle at the beginning that was a nice little cherry on top of this musical cake. Also I just love the addition of the Wooden Railway models that were sprinkled throughout the video with Thomas and a gray face. Keep up the good work dude can't wait to see more.

You're on a roll with these catchy jazz themes! I've always loved how the "Thomas and the Trucks" theme is a super-jazzy remix of the show's main theme - it always made this episode a fun one to watch! The extension full of saxophones was great, and the train whistles at the beginning were a very nice touch too!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Haha thank you Douglas! They're really fun to interpret and give a lil swing to!

Another sterling collaboration and brilliant execution of a particularly iconic moment. What I loved about this - like so many of your pieces - is I *think* I know what's coming. This music has been going through my head for 30 years, but then when I think something's about to happen, you do an absolutely delightful surprise. I love the jazz turn. I also appreciate the more-or-less synced choreography on the various saxophones! I look forward to seeing what comes next (I genuinely am unsure what is left to cover?) you ridiculously talented dreamboat artist!

[@ants8678]

Boy Almighty I love the wooden whistle featured!!!! Such a great amazing sensational example of how the atmosphere would be like as a railway exhibition event!

[@BlueEngine99]

Thomas And The Trucks is my favourite episode from the whole show and one of the reasons why is because of the music when Thomas is pulling the trucks! Seen you do a cover of that them tune has really made my night! 😊

ah yes one of the best songs from season 1. wish i saw it live but it happened during family vacation in disney.

[@alexbassoon4287]

Luke, I love your video editing on this one. Breaking away from the rigid structure works really well and I hope to see more from you in this style. On a more personal note, this particular theme has been an earworm of mine for the last 30 years. Your realization and interpretation of it is at once faithful and imaginative. So much fun to listen to and watch. Nicely done!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thank you! I thought it was time to overhaul the style and take it in a new direction after 2 years 😂 Glad you and your son enjoyed all the luke clones!

I'm suprised I haven't commented on this since it's spectular I've got to say. Honestly I'm not sure how to describe it fully, it's just amazing and I adore how it changes gears fully once it becomes the runaway. What I will say that I've haven't noticed before was how much you move! It was kind of insane how much you move around and how in the world I didn't notice. Overall though, great work, you've made a very fun piece!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks lego I really appreciate it! Gotta do what I can to keep the audience engaged 😂

[@MrNoUsername]

*THIS IS SO GOOD!!!* I literally can’t describe how great this cover is! The only thing I am able to say is “Bust My Buffers!”. One of the best themes is finally ticked off the list! Hope you do City Of Truro’s theme soon! Please make it as grand as possible! (Kind of miss the clickity-clack sound that was supposed to be at 0:31 and the short drum solo supposed to be at 1:36. Other than that, amazing!)

Childhood coming back again!!!

[@tylertichoc7330]

Ever notice how in the original series that the music they made and used was always not only telling about what was going on and what was going to happen, but also that it flowed and went hand in hand with the actions taken? This is even present in the sound ques. I think that one video explaining how the original railway series perfectly portrays the fear of a runaway train described it best. The music wasn't just part of whatever was happening on screen. It was in of itself everything that was happening on screen as on in the same. And that's the proof of just how powerful music really is. Especially when the person composing it know what they're doing and are able to portray a multitude of emotions and scenes with just sound alone.
