“Once upon a time there was a circus girl. But she was not born in the circus. She was born far away. In a town that did not understand her. And every day, she wanted to run away. She wanted to run away with the circus. And this is what she wrote…”
There is a place away from here
A most beautiful place
A place that fills my lungs with air so dear
A most beautiful place
But I was born here
And I can’t breathe
But I’m trapped here
And I can’t leave
There is place where dreams sparkle
Where songs rustle in the trees
It is another world
A world like me
Where life is like a skating rink
And jesters and minstrels ice skate
Where all love is not forbidden
And all art bloom into flowers
Where freedom is not locked behind a gate
A gate that will never be opened
So here I am, sinking
Cause that place is not here
The music plays on
A circus song
It’s calling me
Home, it’s calling me
Notes that dance in bars and lines
Language, lyrics of a different kind
The jester’s voice, a stranger, he touches my soul
With incandescence, it warms my veins and breaks the cold
They understand me
And I understand their world
But it will never be
Cause I am here this circus girl
So into my dreams I retreat
Until one day we all shall meet
And as a shiver runs down my spine
And as I fall asleep
A feeling of safety I can’t define
And as I weep
For I am happy
It’s not tears that I cry
The music plays on
A circus song
It’s calling me
Home, it’s calling me
Thank you mr postman for squeezing my pepper pot into my mailbox!

(I bet the dalek wasn’t very happy about that…)
BBC Showcase Marks 50 Years of ‘Doctor Who’ with Symphonic Spectacular
On Tuesday night (February 26) in Liverpool, BBC Worldwide Showcase paid tribute to one of the BBC’s most successful and long-running global franchises, Doctor Who, as the series heads toward its 50th anniversary this November.
Mark Williams (who played Rory’s father Brian in Season 7) hosted the Doctor Who Showcase Symphonic Spectacular, a celebration of Murray Gold’s epic music score for the show. Led by the boyishly Tennant-esque Ben Foster as conductor, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Sense of Sound choir made Gold’s compositions sound even more mythic. The soloists Daniel Keating-Roberts and Elin Manahan Thomas lent their voices to a couple of the numbers; Thomas was particularly moving with her soprano renderings of “Madman with a Box” and the gorgeous “Abigail’s Song.”
Hope this means that the #DWSS will ‘sell’ worldwide now…
*Original lyrics are in Roads Untraveled by Linkin Park
Clouds in the air dust petals
Gold streaks and gold-haired girl
And the wisps of the words
In a long passing breath
All the life all the hurt
To have
Washed on the panes rain crystals
Journeys untraveled this world
As the sands of the past
They will wane in this dust
Silver stars and their light
At night
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Dance in the sky snow angels
Dance in the air my girl
Tell the story of us
Of our life in the stars
Destiny that was meant to last
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh
*Original lyrics are in Learn To Love Again by Lawson
In the past I was
A dreamer walking tall
But they turned to dust
And my dreams they took a fall
And the memories and silence
The pain I’ve had to learn
But the songs kept coming
So I wrote
Oh…oh…
Oh…oh…
That I could feel and learn to dream again
Take away this pain
One day I will get to fly among the stars
That I was lost one day and found again
Walking in the rain
One day I will get to fly among the stars
To let go the fears
The music in my ears
I’ll look up to this dazzling show
That’s all I need to know
Oh…oh…
Oh…oh…
That I could feel and learn to dream again
Take away this pain
One day I will get to fly among the stars
That I was lost one day and found again
Walking in the rain
One day I will get to fly among the stars
Oh…oh…
Oh…oh…
All the dreams not forgotten
Not forgotten
In the stars live forever
Live forever
I will get to fly among the stars
And I will get to fly among the stars
Doctor Who Original 1963 Theme / BBC Radiophonic Workshop
Press play!
Still the best theme in regards to how it was made, how it’s one of the first pieces of electronic music ever, and how it’s (basically) the same theme still, 50 years later.
Incredible.
Probably one of the best theme tunes out of all time and space… *weeps*
