- Title is self explanatory.
To be honest, the main reason why this is out first is because oh boy, that lead piano is possible one of the most iconic sounds ever and incredibly difficult to get right.
IMO, you'd need a live recording from a real piano to really pull that off. No MIDI piano would truly do it justice tbh. The backing parts however, are easier to replicate. So I thought why not release a no lead mix of the iconic Thomas Theme Song.

Hey everyone.
Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy!

ye got some epic original music man, keep it up, been listening to a bunch of it lately, more and so than the Thomas stuff.
Don’t worry. I listen to all your work
Man it don't matter what you put out all your music are BOPS, I listen to your music while I clean and shit
@@Sebdamememan your right

Sounds like what would play in the options menu of a Thomas game.
I’d be in there changing the difficulty level of the troublesome trucks
I’m in there finding the option to slow down Bertie and win that race.
I’d be in there trying to figure out how to make Duck not crash into the barber shop so everyone is safe
I’d be in there trying to erase my safe data so I can stop James from crashing into the field.
I'd be in there trying to sabotage BWBA's arrival transport.
Music you play when the characters saved the day, and now chill recalling the adventure, and then having a good laugh about it.
Ladies and gentlemen, its no longer "Thomas the Tank Engine."
*It's "The Tank Engine."*
Thomas The Friend
The Engine friend
"The Tank"
" "
"T"
All this does is highlight how awesome the bass and the chord stabs are really 😆
Exactly!
Gr8 this song is
I frickin' love this tune, it slaps hard!
Man this theme song will ALWAYS hit. Definitely like a top 3 theme song of my childhood. That percussion just holds things together so well. Great work man!
Oh, hey, the Sonic Studio composer! A fellow enjoyer of Mike O' Donnell and Junior Campbell.
You know it’s an iconic theme song when you still know every piano chord that’s played even without hearing it
You hurt my childhood by taking the piano away.
But it's ok. My brain filled the gaps
This gives me early VHS version credits vibes, and I can’t put my finger quite on why. Still surprisingly catchy regardless.
This is EXACTLY what I thought it would be, yet I'm STILL impressed!
When the theme is so iconic that even if you remove the piano bit, it's still recognizable
This has the same energy as if I was trying to drive my car without wheels

Just want to make a mention that the picture in this video is one of my all time favourites. Absolutely love the reflection of Thomas and Annie and Clarabel in the water. Used to actually find it quite eerie to look at as a kid, but now as an adult I appreciate it for its mood and aesthetics.
I always was more fascinated with the backing instruments from the intro. Especially the deep toned Bass so it’s pretty neat to hear a No Lead version of the main theme. Amazing! 🤩
Oml same
It's still a mystery to how Mike and Junior managed to pull off the lead piano melody so well in this.
This is nice. It reminds me of an old steam engine I saw a little ways away from my town. Its out in the woods pretty much abandoned. All that’s left is the smokebox, boiler, and firebox. It was surreal to see it in person. You can see the controls and a small portion of the running board. Next to it there’s an old shack that’s abandoned as well. There’s pipes running from the engines dome that lead into the shack, and others that feed into a big metal box nearby. It’s interesting because it seems like it was used as a generator for a short time. It was kind of sad to see but it was thrilling anyways to see a piece of history like that. The wheels were scattered a short ways away as well.
Bruh, did you find Smudger lmao
Smudger/stanley
Bro found smudger
this is like listening to this out of one side of your headphones
This would work really well over a montage of Thomas working round the goods-yards and stations along his branch line.
why is this song giving me an existential crisis
Holy cow, dude! This theme is MEGA accurate! You nailed everything from the Jupiter 6 “whistle” patch to the synth brass, I can’t even fathom how good this is. May I suggest though, if you want to get the “lead piano” sound, I’d suggest you reach out to OneTramBand, as he was the one who composed the original Thomas theme for “Project Tiger Moth.”
Is that the synth they used for the early seasons? I've always wondered.
Yes, for S1 and S2.
This should have been named Thomas_without_Friends.wav
I say we change it when the full theme is recreated
depression
🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't sound the same without the piano, but I like it.
This must have been the hardest one you have ever had to do. When I heard this, I thought it could be part of a scary episode, because of the way it sounded. But I must congratulate you on making this 😀.
The theme song is incredibly easy to put together. It’s a matter of timbre.
I just heard on the radio, doobie bros. “What a fool believes” and I swear they use the same style synthesizers as these early episodes. Maybe there’s a remix there waiting to happen?!? Btw, another great piece S.A.
Thanks. I believe they used a Prophet 5 for that song. Using a square wave very similar to the Jupiter’s clarinet. Lots of old synthesisers are like that, as much I like that song. I wouldn’t want Thomas fans to butcher that into another ‘Break My Stride’.
@@SudrianAfro that is fascinating stuff to learn. I totally understand, it was just a thought of course. Still it’s Interesting of what could be. Anyways great stuff as always S.A
I don't know why when I was a kid I would always hum the tune to the theme like this without the piano included. Glad someone made a version that resonates well with my childhood!
i always hum the bass
Holy freaking crap this is good.
That piano bass goes hard

Like “Thomas without friends”
i find this comment hilarious because i’ve always said that thomas quite literally has no friends because he gets on with no one
He got on with more characters as the show went on.
@@nostaldec4705 the book’s acknowledgement of it was better though
@@toadbrunoandbelleproductions he basically started off as the "cheeky asshole" to then being respected by gordon, the most prideful mf in season 1.
@@urtooslow4415 yeah
Thomas_Without_Friends.wav
This sounds like basically all of us humming the tune
The feeling I get from this lead-less piece is about the same feeling I get looking at Thomas' reflection in the pond water.
The iconic theme from my favorite childhood show is missing the iconic piece we all know and loved!!
Thomas & Friends but its more Mature & Serious (that's the vibe I'm getting)
Basically if thomas was down to the tugs level maturity
It sounds like something that would play if Thomas was shunting for a big day
Anyone else unable to resist whistling or humming the melody?

Me trying to remember the name of the tank engine in Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends

Are you going to do the theme with the main piano?
Even without the Piano, it's still a bop
Nice! This is really good, this could easily be used as a sort of documentary about the original television series, and how far it’s come with both official, and unofficial, yet faithfully recreated stories, in addition to new ones too!
I can’t wait to hear the final version of the full theme with the melody added back in, but this is still a banger, so fantastic job! 😄👍
This sounds like what being naked feels like
Thomas without Thomas
Not having the piano makes you realize how much other things are going in the song. Love it.
You can hear the piano part on head while playing it
This is like an instrumental of a song that's already an instrumental
So going by what you're saying in the description, you're recreating the Thomas theme tune, but you're releasing this first as you have nailed the backing track and the piano is hard to replicate? Interesting 🤔 well considering how well you have recreated all the themes from the show, i have no doubt you will get this too. I was hoping you would do the original Thomas theme tune at some point.
It's not Thomas the Tank Engine anymore, it's just "the"
Thomas and the friends (sounds like some hit era episode)
This just sounds like Mean Mr. Mustard from The Beatles albeit as an extended song.
Having this without the main melody just feels wrong
1:00 Love that Beat
Same
Yeah it slaps.
You should do this theme, but without percussion.
Feels like the Thomas theme instrumental ( even though they are no lyrics in the Thomas theme tune )
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! I love Thomas The Tank Engine's Theme Song! 🙂👍
Hah. I stumbled across this and thought it was a clever removal of the piano from the original theme. Great rendition.
Another thing that is missing is the main synth clarinet. Still sounds nice though!
this sounds like something straight out of a dvd menu
Even without the lead instrument, it's still every bit as iconic. This theme song is and always will be the undisputed number 1.
Thomas_Without_Friends
Something seems off about the photo, i think it’s the windmill
Hey, S.A. Music. Can I please have the FLP? It's only for personal use.
Screen record it
Thomas the Engine
Yes been waiting for a version like this for a long time! THANK YOU!!!
Really nice to hear the bass version of this theme!
"Thomas The Friends"
It was the end for me. I don’t know. It felt so classic really really good 😀
Oh man, this is so weird to listen to, the main lead piano tune just keeps playing in my head. Probably I have heard this theme a couple of times before. :) But what an excellent way to explore new things with this beautiful theme song! Thx!
0:04 the start:
So nostalgic :) takes me right back to being little
I don't know why but I like this version
Would of imagine mixing the main HiT Era melody with this.
This makes it sound way more like the Chorlton & the Wheelies theme than I ever noticed before.
It’s just Thomas the Tank Engine now.
i can still hear the theme with the piano
The windmill refuses to turn to camera
This hits harder then when Thomas crashed into the buffers while pulling Edwards trucks
thomas going through the endless circle of being ridiculed
This is just “the railway series”
Now.
Yup
Huh
👍
They really made it so that all of the instruments shined to the pint you can still recognize it
Will you try to re-create the theme with the lead piano? or nah
It’s sounds like fnf big engine brawl
I think I have been listening to this for about 2 hours now. Thank you.
Thomas got deleted from existence, beautiful
But all jokes aside this is pretty good, continue with the good work!
Childhood without Piano...it does work !
Thomas the Bus Replacement Service.
This is even better
This was a nice little arrangement. Great job.
I couldn't help it , but...
If the video was to be renamed to be in the postion of the other melodies without the main instrument, it would defentively be: "Thomas the Tank Engine without Friends". Thomas must be lonely then, poor lad.
When Thomas is out for repairs but the composer still has to get paid
The_Without_Me
You should have made these in the 80's and worked with O'donnel and Campbell!
I think it’s more of the melody than the piano that’s missing
Thx for this fantastic removal.
That's nostalgic
Just what I needed for one of my students! God bless whoever created this!
What instrument and note is for the main beat?
Yamaha Grand Piano (with some tuning, effects, and EQ change. The theme is in C Major
That a canon event, you can't do that...
