Use headphones for a full effect! =)

"Martha's Theme" is my favourite Doctor Who theme to play and sing ^^ And she's my favourite companion too. The theme truly expresses how Martha feels for the Doctor: she grows to love him through series 3, but he never sees it (or doesn't allow himself to see it). At the end, she moves on... she knows that she has to live out her life, even if it means being apart from the Doctor.

This video is a birthday gift for my friend, Dana http://www.youtube.com/user/DanaReboe She's a huge Doctor Who fan too...more so than me :D

Now onto the music!
VOCALS: I sang this twice (first time is more airy), and layered both tracks on top of each other.
The original key is lower, but there's NO way I could hit those low notes :( So I sang it a few steps higher.
PIANO: Used sheet music found online, and played it on my MIDI keyboard. http://www.freewebs.com/dwmidi/sheetmusic.htm
BASS: Used garageband's 'fretless electric bass' sound; played on MIDI keyboard.

NOTE: I did add reverb/EQ to the overall sound, for a 'spacey' effect.
============================================
As said by Martha Jones: "I travelled across the world. From the ruins of New York, to the fusion mills of China, right across the radiation pits of Europe. And everywhere I went I saw people just like you, living as slaves! But if Martha Jones became a legend then that's wrong, because my name isn't important. There's someone else. The man who sent me out there, the man who told me to walk the Earth. And his name is The Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times and you never even knew he was there. He never stops. He never stays. He never asks to be thanked. But I've seen him, I know him... I love him... And I know what he can do".

  • Yaaay! I love this song! And this cover!

  • @cerberus144 yay! Thank you very much.

  • Absolutely wonderful cover. Only complaint is I wish it'd just go on. :-) Ah well, I'll put it on a loop. ;-)

  • @TheOtherKaneda I was just about to suggest looping it ;) Good to know that people like the cover...cause I'm so self conscious when it comes to my own voice. I really appreciate it, thank you!

  • This is really good, sweety!

    It shows the strength in your voice!

  • @ladyreemz86 thank you very much, Reem! <3
