I've especially wanted to kindly mention in a very honest opinion that this version of the theme for the saddle tank engines known as Bill and Ben who work @ the China Clay pits near Brendham Docks certainly is remarkably wonderful seeing it's completely obviously based on the song titled Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining composed by Mike O'DONNELL and Junior Campbell!
Bill and Ben are Tank Engine twins. Each has four wheels, a tiny chimney and dome, and a small squat cab. Their freight cars are filled with China Clay. It is needed for pottery, paper, paint, and many other things. The twins are now kept busy pulling the cars for engines on the Main Line and for ships in the harbor.
DEAR FRIENDS, Bill and Ben are a shameless pair. I meant to write about Main Line Engines, and give the twins a treat by letting them into the first story. But I couldn't keep them in order! Before I knew it they had crept into the others. They even wanted me to change the book and make it about them! But I have been very firm. I am _still_ calling it _Main Line Engines._ That will serve Bill and Ben right for ragging poor Gordon so disgracefully. He still hasn't gotten over it yet! THE AUTHOR
Hello. I'm a Korean viewer that loves Thomas. Although I don't speak English well, I wanted to write a comment to you. Your music cover is very amazing. I felt like I was in a orchestra when watch your video.
I love so much how the three basses instruments roots the progression in this cover. For me, the combo sax and flute is something natural, and you nailed that too ^^
This is great! Thanks to you, the spirit of Thomas is alive and well! Now, let's see you perform the song that plays when Bill and Ben are playing their trick on Boco until his eyes pop out.
@@InstrumentManiac I'm very happy to see that you agree with me. I hope that you will surprise me (and give me goosebumps) with however you'll plan to play the bit at the end that plays when Boco is rolling his eyes and shouts "Stop! You're making me giddy!"
Hello Luke, I must object to the t-shirt! It's not orange proper... On the other hand I did enjoy the many different colours you blended together in this so very lively arrangement. The lower pitched instruments (bass flutes and clarinet) gave a definite warmth to it.
I really hate that color yellow/orange so I opted to step outside but stay in the "tone family" 😂 Glad you liked some of those lower pitched winds, thanks for listening idraote!

MAGNIFICENT Job!!!!💘💘💘💘 It brings back the memory's of those 2 engines...... 😄😄😄😄 Always causing trouble...... As years gone by they still troublesome but the theme of Bill and Ben the Tank Engine Twins is always a memory of mine when the first episode of those 2 came out
Yay! I love these twins and I love their theme! The Diseasel was actually the first episode I remember watching, so I have a soft spot for Bill and Ben. So looking forward to hearing your take on such a delightful piece of music 😀
I've just listened to this! This is absolutely brilliant! I like the small nod to the tense music from The Diseasel as well as the variation of the theme from the third series. I'm sure the twins themselves would approve 😀
Bill: GUYS! Engines: We know you are going to be in a video Bill: But Engines: Hey! Taffy! What are you doing here! Stop repeating yourself! Go make a different comment! Be off with you! P.S - Can’t wait till it premiers
Bill and Ben have always been my favorites as a kid, as the time went on and the model versions were replaced with CGI effects version episodes alot of the kids now days have to watch the episodes that us adults watched when were at their age. Alot of those models were G scale when they did the filming process to make the epsiodes and then tye the music for each character in the episodes
BoCo gets tricked/the diseasel theme would be a fun one to see covered along with an extended version of BoCo’s theme in season 2 cause it’s very short
I haven't even finished watching the video as I'm comenting and I already love it! I felt like it would have made sense to add a xylophone in but hey it's still amazing, I can't wait to see more!
Have you ever thought about making original themes for characters who don't have ones such as BoCo, Duke, Class 40 and maybe Cranky? I think he has a theme. Still hoping for the Runaway theme.
*Bill & ben puff down the line with china clay trucks* *both arrive at wellsworth* Edward: “Hello you two!” Bill & Ben: “Hi Edward!” Edward: “Station master told me you are gonna be in one of InstrumentManiac’s Videos!” Bill: “Really!?!?!” Ben: “HOORAY!” *engines whistle in unison* Ben: “Ey Bill.” Bill: “What Ben?” Ben: “You know what im thinking?” Bill: “Oh yes I do...” Bill & Ben: “MISCHIEF!!” Edward: “Don’t you two-“ *bill & ben quickly puff away to trick the other engines and tell them the news*
"It looks like Gordon, but it can't be. "If it isn't Gordon!" said Ben. "It's just a pile of old iron... "No Bill, this lot's useless for scrap! We'll take it to the harbour and dump it in the sea!" Love these two 😂
Ace work once again dude, you really do bring a grandness to each of these themes but also manage to ensure they all sound unique and related to the character it belongs to, quick idea for a future project if interested, I'd love to hear you tackle the theme from an old documentary called "railway with a heart of gold" about the Talyllyn Railway, it has a lovely little theme that accompanies it and sounds very Skarloey-ish that I think would sound great on a Harp or a bassoon. Another idea that's just came to me is another documentary called "The Awesome Giants of Steam" which had it's own soundtrack which would sound magnificent if brought up to date, obviously these are just suggestions as I'm sure you already have plenty of ideas for future projects and I can't wait to see what you do next :D
Great job with this Luke, and Happy New Year 2021! Bill & Ben always had a very fun theme, and yeah, they definitely got the classic comedy duo type theme, they are definitely inseparable. They always had very enjoyable episodes, and there strongest moments were when they were playing tricks on the other engines or arguing with each other! Can’t wait to hear more
I was wondering when you'd get to this theme! This was definitely an interesting take on one of the catchiest themes in the show, very jazzy and punchy. As for the year ahead, it has to be better than last year, now that Donald has been sent away in disgrace ;)
This is SO good, definitely one of the best underrated themes, I love how you arranged this. I recommend you do Rusty's theme at some point! it's another one of those hidden gems that you can really do something special with!
I love how bill and Ben are on the keyboard just chillin
Tops
They're supervising the production of their theme
@nathanwhales their either doing your idea or just watching themselves on the screen in the middle
This little ditty describes my best friend's niece and nephew perfectly: Good at heart, but mischievous little scamps.
Isn’t that bill and Ben in a nutshell?
Yes it is
Gosh I forgot how upbeat this theme is thanks for making this
Thanks for listening Neiko!
My fave theme I love the twins as well
Are there two of you?
No, we’re twins!😁😁
*yes we're twins
So confusing! 😂

Tricking around!

Fantabulous work as always! I especially like the variation that you threw in to capture both twins as separate characters ☺️
Thanks Gardevoir, good ear too!

I'm not just saying this because I'm a uke player, but the ukulele part made me so happy.
Ukes represent!
Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining! What A Great Theme To Brighten Up The Start Of 2021! Thank You Luke!
Do Rusty’s theme next.
no duncan's theme
how about both
I agree
Ok
Toby's theme and the song Percy's Fireman sang about Harold when they one the race seem to go perfectly together! Please try it!
Toby alredy has made it
@@marileneap.paivadevargas1602 he meant to mix them together
I have never seen a bass flute before! That thing is HUGE!
Isn't it?? Such a ridiculously large instrument 😂
Great work as always. Really like the electric piano
Thanks for listening man! Congrats on the album btw, look forward to listening to it 👏
I got to say in my opinion this is the best song you ever made!
I like
Can’t stop listening to this song. I tried
The percussion brings so much life to this theme, i dare say it makes this better than the original which is a pretty high bar to surpass

This Bill and Ben's is super good. Great job Instrument 👏
Thanks so much!
OMG u responded im so happy im a big fan. Your music is awesome
Ahhh I thoroughly enjoyed that!!! It was like they each had their own individual theme, which combined really nicely at the end!
Ahh thanks for listening KB! And good ear as well :)
Please do "runaway theme extended" next?
yes please do that
Yes yes
Would be interesting to see this
Stay tuned! Coming in the next few weeks 😄
@@InstrumentManiac oooh, that will be nice!
I love how you set a wooden Bill and Ben in the keyboard camera haha. Try Derek the Paxman diesel’s theme next.
Good eye! He's on the list 😊
Outstanding as usual
Ooh the keyboard really adds a lot
This one I'm really looking forward to.
Keep up the great work...🤞👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bill and Ben always remind me of Boco ;P
Another awesome job, mate!
Haha me too, thanks man!
"Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining"! Bill and Ben are funny, and I just love their antics!
I love this theme....
Excelente Job
Thank you very much!
Great as always! Thanks for making it extra long since its two characters!
Thanks for checking it out Juanito 😊
I have been waiting for this theme for quite a while
I love those twins and I love how you worked this all out! XD

I remember this theme! Such a cool interpretation :) great playing!
Thanks a lot Brandon!
You are a true visionary
Yey you did it you really did the theme of bill and ben, yes , thank you verry much @InstrumentManiac
Hope you enjoy!
Thanks from answering my question!
Bill and Ben have always been my favorites as a kid, as the time went on and the model versions were replaced with CGI effects version episodes alot of the kids now days have to watch the episodes that us adults watched when were at their age. Alot of those models were G scale when they did the filming process to make the epsiodes and then tye the music for each character in the episodes
WOWOWOOWOWOWOW ITS BILL AND BEN!!!!!
What took you so long?
Can you do Trevor's theme next?
Wow, you are such a talented person, you should be very proud of your self, keep up the good work
Thanks for watching Transport!
Edward: Bill and Ben are being cheeky again. What can I do to make them behave?
InstrumentManiac: Have you tried playing music to them?
I also like the idea of doing rusty's theme, an idea I have is to do Emily's theme
Just wanted to know, will you be doing anything from the Hit era other than engine roll call?
Possibly! Stay tuned :)
It's a good music!
This sounds superb Luke! Well done! :D
Thanks Kameron!
BoCo gets tricked/the diseasel theme would be a fun one to see covered along with an extended version of BoCo’s theme in season 2 cause it’s very short
That theme is on the list for sure!
I haven't even finished watching the video as I'm comenting and I already love it! I felt like it would have made sense to add a xylophone in but hey it's still amazing, I can't wait to see more!

Yep! Hoping to start writing some of my own in the next few months :) Runaway theme coming soon stay tuned!
@@InstrumentManiac YES! My favorite non-character theme.
i thought BoCo had one?

Now this, my man, is something I can peacefully bop my head to. Another splendid job :D

I'd love to hear Murdoch's theme at some point.
It's such a great epic piece, and I'd love to hear your take on it.

You should do Spencers theme! I think you would do well on it much like these other themes!
A very beautiful and funny theme :)
Fun Fact: I’m actually a twin myself and have a twin brother.
Very cool!
Could you do more videogame themes, like Undertale for example please?
For sure! I've got some zelda planned in the coming months 😄

Ah yes, another classic.
Nice one
I love your little bill and ben and troublesome trucks please that is my favorite next to thomas and james are racing.
