Julia's Theme from EastEnders (unchopped)

[deathlyartist]

Who's Julia?

[Midnaboy]

this always gets me!!!!!

[mandem620]

i cry when i hear this

[TanyaTurner06]

This original version is so much better than the current one

[sweet13p13]

emotional :'( all the sad scenes in eastenders played in my mind while hearing this, just hope it is reserved for special episodes because if its overused it will lose its meaning <3

[medicpack6]

at 2:26 i love the piano bit 

[east215]

@doctorwhofan400 Julia was the creator of EE.

[east215]

The Themes is blue!

[apie151]

this was used in peggys exit x love this is a good piece to dance to x

[d0mst4]

@apie151 Actually, the specially composed Peggy's Theme was used for Barbara Windsor's exit. The two are similar though.

[MitchellWillisTV]

peggy is getting this theme thats all i know

[Tav2244]

@MitchellWillisTV She gets a remixed version of this song, in tonights episode

[ajade55]

@doctorwhofan400 that was then, but Brian Kirkwood decided that not all endings suited the "duff-duffs", and decided to introduce it more often.

[Dalmatianqueen]

Awww this is soooo sad! I reckon whenever the actors of Eastenders die this should play.

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

Overlong piece of crap.

[LadyLolliipops]

@AcademyAwardsPerson Please move,

[Dalmatianqueen]

@AcademyAwardsPerson A Bah Humbug to you too

[joeytimo]

I knew this would be played for Amira's Exit, i said it....!!!!!!!!! She totally deserved it i miss her even though she has only been in the soap for 11 months!!!!!!!

[lvu16]

beutiful piece of msuic

[martincbrooks]

[CHANNELMICHAEL]

[mpkio]

This should have been used when Daniele died in April! Why didn't they used this?

[FrancisIdents]

For two reasons:

A: Because this isn't the right version, you want the 1999-present day version

B: She was in the show less than a year.

It's a shame that Wendy Richards didn't get Julia's theme. Oh well. I made an edit of that to include it, so I guess I shouldn't start whining XD

[chimpyjet]

I guess she wasn't a big enough character, wasn't in there long enough.

[rollicker]

Why is this called Julia's theme? is it called that after the show's original producer?

[davidwellard]

Yes it is named after Julia Smith , Who passed away in 1997 . Tony Holland and Julia Smith created the show.

[mikeyboyuk86]

I can't believe Wendy Richard didn't get this when she left the show but Dawn and Gary did!! What's that about?

[RandomPeter94]

The Julias theme when Garry and Dawn left is for Garry because he was on it for years and it was a happy ending. Ethel Skinner didn't get it either :S. Pauline's Julia's theme should of been used in the funeral not her death. I reckon they should do scenes where Dot talks to Pauline and Ethel's grave with the Julia's theme in the background.

[BlueSmurf10]

Ethel didn't get it because they used a specially composed piece of music instead.

[SpikesVampireGirl]

I see what you mean. Wendy Richard played Pauline for much longer than Dawn and Gary were in the show. Pauline should have got this theme

May Wendy Richard rest in peace xx

[Dalmatianqueen]

So Why was it called Julias theme? Sorry I'm not the smartest...

[RandomPeter94]

this is the 1985-1992 versions, is there anywhere we can listen/download the current version?

[mpkio]

I want this song to be played at my funeral. Oh, taht's sad.

They should turn this piece into a Hymn! :)

[pufferfishish]

that's weirdly cool. i like your style

[MedicLeo]

They did! Its called "Glory be to God on high". There are recordings of it on You Tube.

[mpkio]

Thanx! :)

[LANBritain1]

@mpkio

dont want to be a know-it-all

but they did turn this to hymn (well the main theme)

for songs of praise in the 1980s xD

[mesembe]

wen some1 dies on eastenders this normally comes up, i loved it wen they put it on franks funeral

[dandb139]

so do i, an excellent touch.

[NSMerryweather4771]

they only normally play it when a well know or long term character dies

[dandb139]

love it!!

[andrewyabass]

got it as my ringtone on my mobile actually love it!!

makes me cry :(

let it become a hymn so i can play it at my funeral :(

[BONDFAN1974]

I can remember them playing this music when kathy left Eastenders but you hardly seem to hear it any more

[mrssmercury]

with a name like nathiebaby, you wonder why you have any reason to be so damn prejudice, rude and downright rough and council estatey.

I agree, i have already set up my funeral with this in it.

[dandb139]

i want this song at my funaral. No joke, i acturally do

[nathiebaby]

After what you have said please let it be me who actually kills you. You are a fucking failure.

[nathiebaby]

Please make sure I get invited to your funeral when it happens and it will happen very soon.

[dandb139]

no need to cry about it now, is there! and whilst u stop crying, sort your problems out aswell.

[jan0009683]

i love this song!!!!!!!!!

[ValerieBarlow]

Youre a big fag. The original is better.

[mrssmercury]

this is fantastic!

[katieleeds]

I want the piano sheet music for this - if anyone knows where I can get it please send me a message! Thanks :)

[cakesfairy]

goes on a bit !

[LANbritain]

should be the anthem for when someone dies

[ValerieBarlow]

When I die I want them to play the theme from Prisoner (Cell block H) at my funeral.

[grantguest]

where can i get this from?

[popmusicno1fan]

i like this theme ^_^

[kirstyms03]

its kinda boring lol

[grantguest]

i want this song

[55665524]

I love it

[evilknevil500]

fabregasfan123 is right there will be a huge gas mains explosion in walford and eastenders will stop being aired in 2010

[SpikesVampireGirl]

how do you know this far in advance then?

[sundaeg1rl]

You need to get yourself the Eastenders Cockney Knees-Up album (not its proper title). It's great!

I don't know how but this is the only 'Enders record I don't have! I even have Something Outta Nothing, hahaha

[FabragasFan123]

im not joking or winding u up

[CAFC2K8]

Dont listen to him, hes winding you up

[FabragasFan123]

i heard eastenders is to finish in 2010

[davidwellard]

Why would it finish? If it does I am going to commit suicided

[xxDaniCaliforniaxx]

ok that cant be true!!

[SpikesVampireGirl]

something as big as eastenders finishing just as i am getting back in to it! cant really seeing it ending with how popular it is

[aidious]

This song is nothing but one big 'cock tease'

[katieleeds]

lol too true

[tezbooze]

soaps are for gay men and lonely housewives

[princess29coolio]

what the hell is that soposed to meen does that mean u cant watch soaps if ur strate1

[OoooSoFlawless]

Why is it caled julia's theme ?

[kennysyt]

Julia Smith was the Co-creator (with Tony Holland) of the series, she also produced the programme for the first few years. She passed away in 1997.

[xRedRosePetalsx]

its a really nice song and music when u hear the whole thing

[BillStanley2008]

im a straight 18 year old man i always cry to this when its played :(

They wont be using this theme for a while i guess which is sad cos it makes for great emotion to end any show.

[3cwe]

the first 20 secons or so reminds me of when Nana Moon died. :(

[VlogKing]

Great theme!

[SimonSW19]

I remember this played a few times, they might have played in when Frank died, not sure tho, they played it when Kathy left and when Sue told Michelle she wasnt pregnant. It definately should have been played when Pauline died but wasn't! There was videos for about 10 of the times it was played on you tube, but they've all been removed for some reason!

[Whoniverse93]

ye they played it at franks funeral. also when grant and courtney left for a new life, nana moons death, ethels death and loads more

[narmsfinest]

oh get over it its just a tune your all so cringeworthy..it doesnt change the programme..why does it ave to be in there..why edit the end of an episode for the sake of one piece of music...sorry to be rude but it annoys me people are so outraged it is never used...pathetic :D

[EndersfanToo]

EastEnders may have been going for only 23years but the music is Iconic and Episodes that should have had this theme on People like me edit it out and we get praised for our good work. x

[coochi6]

They should definetly use this more, its an epic piece of music for eastenders and should be used more often

[CaptainNashSparrow]

its dedicated to the life and death of a writer, and so i think it should be kept exclusively for the most special and tragic events in the soap.

[markimark03]

thank you for putting this on here!

[davidjamesgane]

I emailed Simon May asking for the sheet music for this theme, but he unfortunately declined.

From what I can make of this piece, it begins in Eb Major, modulates to C Major and back to Eb Major again. Been trying to pick up the middle piece (C Maj bit) by ear, because this is the bit I love the most. I enjoy the way it leads to Eb Major again at the end, which I think is the most commonly used part of Julia's Theme (D, E, F, G, Ab, Bb, C, D and Eb to begin the 'EastEnders' theme that begins)

[vervoid345]

Yeah definetely C major at 1:27. A minor at 1:34, G major at 1:37. The violins between 1:48 and 1:56 go A G F E B C D E D C B A

[musicorganman]

It is in Eb if that is any help. I have worked out the cheesy bit they use before the main titles.

[bloozeman101]

i can play this all the way through

[davidjamesgane]

I would really love to learn how to play this, but I wouldn't know where to begin unless I had written sheet music. Any ideas?

[steboy32]

Its A great theme tune this and so nice i just wish they would use it a bit more often on Eastenders i agree they should had it for wellard yes only a dog but classed as 1 of the cast still!

[jayboiii2]

oh get over it its just a tune your all so cringeworthy..it doesnt change the programme..why does it ave to be in there..why edit the end of an episode for the sake of one piece of music...sorry to be rude but it annoys me people are so outraged it is never used...pathetic :D

[zoozy15]

too true

[WorldRecords]

This is the B-Side to the 7" single of the original Eastenders Theme from 1985, i have it!

[SonicMoviesExtra]

wellard the dog 12 years he is in it i know hes just a dog but come on 14 years

[jakeringo388]

my dog lived to be 20 so not unrealisitic

[theultimatekoopa2]

He was played the real dog's grandmother, then her mother, then her.

[JackWilkins]

Goosebumps,every single time! Beautiful!! - Thankyou SO much for uploading. I've never heard the full version of this before. Incredible and something they criminally underuse!!

[jobwell]

la lal lal la la la

[philuk2125]

whos it being played for ?

[soaps4lyf]

this is being played next week

[annieol]

Tune to be remembered but sadly lacking in use nowadays. Listened to this when i split with my first love.

[nahpop1]

yeah! found it lol!! lv this they should play it more often, but they dont seem to bother which is a real shame. thanx 4 uploadin!!

[Haimfan]

I love this version of the Eastenders theme , it's often played when someone leaves or a well known resident dies . I wish they would play the whole song on the programme though they only play the last part

[Lozimia2]

so beautiful

[leeuk23]

does anybody know how i can download just the song as an mp3 ??

[mysteryword]

If you would like me to send you you the mp3, just leave your email and I'll send it to you as soon as possible.

[jaggass]

depressing but i want this playing at my funeral

[DuncanMcA]

This is quite powerful as an emotional end to an episode because it's used so rarely. I watched Easties from 1998 to 2003 and only ever heard it a handful of times.

[pluto1111777]

they seemed to use it quite alot more in the 1980's (often with michelle!) and sometimes on episodes that would never get it now. it would be interesting to hear it played like this over the credits on occassion. its a lovely piece of music

[jaggass]

they use this theme tune sometimes on occasions i think

[georgerobben]

You won't believe it, but I've been searching for this lovely song for ages! I had it in a vinyl record, I lost it...and I couldn't find it again! THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!

[mrtrules1000]

i love this music!!!!!!

[xxDaniCaliforniaxx]

this really makes me cryy... its a beuatiful peace of music... brings back memories!

[annieol]

The more I listen to it, the more it reminds me of my early childhood. Den and Angie and all. Thanks for the full version especially the really sad ending part which is the best ever!!

[annieol]

Brilliant, memories of 1985 when it all began. Thanks for sharing. I have this on 7 inch vinyl somewhere as well. Great memories.

[tommytucker0909]

Best Theme I wish they would use it more its great

[cheekymonkeyxox]

For me this wasent woti expected lol its just music but it made me cry so thumbs up:)

(I miss leo and demi)

[mysteryword]

thanks.

[SamuelMenhennet]

wat

[TorbayBrenton]

I Love This Extended Version of the Eastenders Theme Love it, my Favioute Theme Tunes off all time

[turkeylips2000]

Does anyone have this music they can email me?? Its really nice in its entirity...

[Haimfan]

This is a beautiful version of the Eastenders theme . You know that a story line has made an impact or is sad because they play this theme . When I heard it play after Franks Funeral it made me cry , it's so beautiful

[TwistedIllusions07]

[Endersfan2]

Ian: 23years

Pat: 22years

Dot: 20years

thats how long theyve been in EastEnders

they will definetley get julias theme exit

[slider9012]

Pauline didn't, and she was there from day one.

[SWT450001]

Ahhh a wonderfull peice of music, Nice to see they used it for frank / Mike Reed

[kalkrazy2084]

yeah this quite good, i must say i preferred it when they had the river thames blue in the opening and closing credits

[paultall1]

they never used this theme when pauline died!!!

[pmccaff2007]

Yea and if ricky n bianca stay for about a yr or 2 they`ll probley use it wen one of them or bof of them dies or leaves

[mysteryword]

definitely!

[DesertEagle101]

good version

they'll use it when these things happen:

ian dies/leaves

dot dies/leaves

[mysteryword]

I hope they do. It's going to be a big thing.

[DesertEagle101]

exactly

i also 4gt to say wen:

peggy dies/leaves

phil dies/leaves

basically any character thats been on the show for more than 10/15 years dies/leaves

[mysteryword]

Also for Pat.

[pmccaff2007]

Is tht planned 2 happen any time soon?

[DesertEagle101]

lol abt 30 yrs?

especially for ian since hes been ther since the beginning

when adam woodyat (the guy who plays him) dies, ian beale dies

[EastendersFan2008]

Thanks for putting this on!

Its really good =]

[andyhu83]

I found this after tonights episode with Frank's funeral ... amazing piece of music .. Thanks for posting!

[steboy32]

Great tune, Well done to both of them julia smith and simon May!

[carlinglover22]

why does julia smith get the credit when it was obviously simon may that composed it

[mysteryword]

Well I think that since she's the one that thought of the idea to make this version of the theme, that they named it after her though I do agree that Simon May did compose it and he should be getting the credit.
