the thing about this song is that it just... it IS Clara... Murray Gold took Clara's personality, her whole self, and captured it into a song... it's gorgeous
I agree with that. It’s beautiful energetic playful wry sassy and balanced much like how she is. And every time it went on when she and the doctor would talk would make anyone’s heart flutter in admiration. The impossible girl heh.
I love Clara, just think she could have been written better at times. She didn’t have to be so abrasive sometimes, let us all see how much she cares about the Doctor.
Clara's theme is my favorite of all the Companion themes. Amy's theme was my favorite, but the first time Clara stepped into the TARDIS the melody just swept me away. Amy's theme gave that "childlike wonder" that Matt Smith seemed to embody. The feeling we all get when we first start to watch the Doctor. But Clara's theme is more romantic and simply magical.
I agree with you. I loved Amy's Theme too, but I love Clara's even more. ad with the character of Clara (played by Jenna Coleman) she plays at being strong and witty but she's really still got that "little girl" in her somewhere and she has a soft spot for the doctor because she's seen 'all faces of the Doctor' if you like. I like her because she's The Impossible Girl and as she's said "The Doctor Is Safe Now And My Journey Is Done" ...
+Galen Alexander Deeds I agree with you Clara is my favourite companion as well followed my Rose and Amy/Rory/River because Amy's theme song is very child like but also magical and it's the same with Clara's but Clara's theme song has more.
Galen Alexander Deeds that melody started even before she stepped aboard. it played when she was Souffle Girl. I hadn't realized it till I watched it again
Murray Gold is a genius. He's definitely a huge reason as to why Doctor Who is so successful today. I feel like he doesn't get enough credit. His music adds a whole new element to Doctor Who that you just couldn't find in the classic series. Don't get me wrong, I love Classic Doctor Who, but the incidental music was just awful.
No, it wasn't. There are great pieces of music in the Classic DW too. The electronic music makes it really creepy sometimes. I have The Tenth Planet OST and it is amazing. I love the old cybermen theme. Murray Gold is awesome but I wish he would sometimes take an inspiration from the Classic episodes or cooperate with the BBC radiophonic workshop. The synthetizers and the orchestra int the background would be brilliant. I recommend you to listen to the compilation of classic who pieces from the Proms 2013: watch?v=8SdqozaWh2o
I agree. You only have to listen to the 11th series soundtrack to be clearly sure about. The music isn't awful, but I just don't hear it, nothing "captures" me... Same for the 'Classic Who'. I know that some fan(atics) will say the contrary. But they're the same who used to compare Mozart and The Beatles, Beethoven and ZZ Top, Chopin and Supertramp !... Ah! And for 'roman', Murray Gold was cooperating with the BBC Orchestra.
:Is it a sad song?" "Nothing's sad till it's over. Then everything is" What's it called? "I think its called Clara" Annnnnnnnnnnnd heart broken two minutes in
My favorite companion, and she has my favorite theme ! This is just magicall ! Murray Gold captured Clara into notes, and this is as beautifull as she is
What if, when The Doctor regenerates, he looks in the mirror and realizes that he's ginger; but, instead of laughing or making some wild, Doctor-like remark, he just whispers "Pond".
That would be epic Now you've said that it just coined to me that Matt Smith said about that in the end of time ... And his 1st companion was ginger Like I knew from the beginning that Amy was ginger and seen the end of time ending sequence multiple times but only just realised my previous statement after reading your comments Duh. Stupid me :)
I remember being so excited about meeting Clara when I started season 7 a month ago (I am very new to the Doctor Who fandom and I did extensive research before actually watching the show, which, unfortunately, resulted in me spoiling some important plot twists for myself) and I fell in love with both Oswin and 19th century Clara before the real Clara showed up. I watched the last 3 episodes of season 9 earlier this week and I haven't stopped crying since. I've never thought that I would miss a companion more than Rose, but here I am, listening to this theme on repeat and trying to deal with the pain. Thank you, Impossible Girl, you brilliant, wonderful human being. It's been a great adventure for me.
Ah, Clara's theme. To me Murray's best Companion theme, as it was so versatile, it wasn't just music to use in sad, contemplative moments, as the basic notes could be used for sad scenes, happy scenes, action scenes or whatever was required! A handful of notes, and you immediately recognised who was being referenced, indeed probably only second to "I am the Doctor" in its flexibility when you consider the variations on the S7, Snowmen, TOTD, S8 and S9 soundtracks!
To me this theme really embodies "run, you clever boy, and remember me"; the first bit sounds lots like Clara is saying, "I'm gonna go away a lot, but I'll always come back. Don't worry. Everything will be okay in the end." The second theme seems to hold lots of romance and hope... Like the Doctor at last embraced her words that all would be well and joy came out of it, as well as him opening up his two hearts in a way he hadn't before, because Clara was so like him and so invincible. He found hope that she would always be with him. Then it returns to that gentle reminder, but without the worry that she'll go away; Instead it's the simple bliss of "don't you worry"... but then it is somber by the end, like a foreshadowing. The following is ever more gentle and intimate sounding, perhaps less hopeful, but more "present": like the Doctor and Clara are only embracing always the time they have with one another and not thinking of the future. It is simply soft and happy and peaceful and quiet. Later it becomes a bit more adventurous and quirky-esque, like Clara is finding more of herself through the Doctor, that she could be a Doctor too. And so now they're running together, hands holding tightly. It slows down a bit, and things are different than they were, but still good... And finally it rests again in the initial theme, a reminder to the Doctor... everything will be okay. And I love you. The theme ends again on a tinge of sorrow, so that the moment of the reminder is over and now is begging that the Doctor really remember and hold on.
Clara's theme, to me, sounds very much like mystery and curiosity. And then, when it speeds up a little, it also sounds like...progress, like when you're exploring a beautiful place and you get that weird feeling of adventure and satisfaction. Murray Gold seems to always know how to make his music fit.
Oh, Clara...I feel that out of all of the Doctor's companions, she's the one who helped the Doctor the most. Technically, he literally wouldn't be alive without her...
rurumeto I just got done watching the first how to train your dragon and for some reason I read “Well most of them” in a Scottish accent like at the end when gobber says “well, you know, most of him” it’s not really relevant. Just thought you should know you put me into Scottish mode for a moment...
She did help him the most, but I think most of the companions saved the Doctor's life at some point ( I don't know if the Classic ones did but the New Who ones did) Rose did on more than one occassion ( most significantly when she crossed over to the parallel world to warn Donna ) and so did Martha ( most significant when she walked the earth ) and Donna, especially when she saved the universe. Amy saved the Doctor when she remembered him back into existence.
+Symon2099 What do you think how's going to be the new companion? I'd love to see Ashildr but the Doctor doesn't like her anymore I guess. Hopefully it's not Rigsy though.
+Emily Morse I imagine Maisie's still too committed to GoT to be able to take on another full time role. As for an alternative, as long as it's not a guy, I'm not too fussed. For me, the show needs the balance of genders. Particularly as there aren't a huge amount of good roles for women in UK sci-fi TV anyway, so to take away one of those very few parts and give it to yet another male actor would just seem unfair. What I would like to see maybe is a more Leela'esque companion, someone a bit more hands on and kick-ass! Actually, either Jenny could fill that role! ;-)
I knew i shouldn't read comments until ending season 9 .____. I didnt like her in S7, but now... I saw Zygon episode yesterday and i think i was wrong. She finished Donna's mission and made Doctor somebody, who really, really deserve for this name. There are two favourite companions now :>
I swear, I think I loved Clara from the moment she appeared on camera. I clung to her wit in Asylum of the Daleks, but it was Murray Gold's BEAUTIFUL theme that started when she appeared as the "barmaid Clara" that solidified my new favorite companion. I love that her theme continues in series 8, and keeps that lightness that was always with Eleven. Can't wait for Series 9 to see what Murray Gold comes up with next!!
She caught my eye as a Dalek who had a problem with souffle's. She had me as the serving girl who pops through the top of the coach and says "Doctor Who?". And I fell in love when she ran around the Tardis and proclaimed "It's smaller on the outside". And, yes, it hurt as Peter Capaldi played it on his guitar, proclaiming his love for his lost Impossible Girl. The 'eye thing'. That face. That smile (and those dimples!) Murray Gold's music is as much a part of the modern Who as the Doctor. And the song is almost as beautiful as Jenna herself.
I could honestly listen to this all day. Such an iconic piece of music for such an iconic character. Clara was just so magical. There are many ways to describe her but that's a word I'd choose. Magical. Mystical. Whimsical. Honestly the list goes on. I'll always miss her, and she'll always be my favourite ❤
Murray Gold is an absolute genius. His musical scores are always exactly what each moment of each scene requires. Of all the themes of the DW characters, "Clara's Theme" is the one that gives me goosebumps (and evokes the occasional tear).
i cant remember if i commented before, but whenever i watch doctor who or listen to the soundtrack i get all restive and christmas-y because at Christmas theres a huge doctor who marathon that goes on for i think 1-2 days and its a tradition that we watch the whole thing until midnight on Christmas eve and its amazing.
I wasn't sold on Clara for a long time, and her theme seemed to be used in too simple places, a bit on the nose for "happy". Then the last episode happened. Too good. Too beautiful. It seemed to be played different, melancholically, so fitting. Then the reference to her in the first episode of season 10, with Bill not wanting to forget. It killed me. I had started disliking Clara, and know I missed her. P.S.: even though I learn American English, since this is the most I've heard the name being used, whenever I think of it in my head it has a more British pronunciation, going towards Scottish.
John Smith Thank you! :) Whenever I see two of my fandoms combined, I just can't resist. ;) Yours is cool too, I like real-life-turned-into-animation or vice versa almost as much.^^
This song means a lot to me for a strange reason, a few years ago I was involved in a car accident which put me in a coma for 2 days however I didn't know that because when the car crashed all I saw was a bright flash of light and I woke up in a forest I used to go to with my grandfather we would set up a telescope in the woods and watch the stars as he told his stories, we would then sit around a camp fire, and for some reason I had woken up in that forest at night. I noticed a camp about 50 feet away with all my friends, my grandfather, my daughter basically all my favourite people in the world sat around a camp fire. I was a little confused so headed over to it and the closer I got the weirder I felt, it almost felt like panic but a different kind of panic than normal, I could hear them talking and laughing but the closer I got the worse it got. Eventually I turned around and ran away and that was when i awoken to this song, my daughter and father had put it on while waiting for me to wake for some calm music not just for me but for her It was strange because I've felt a lot of comfort by that dream, because I believe that if I had sat down I would've passed on and in that moment that was my last thought and that thought would've echoed for all eternity and that felt really great because in my last moments my mind took me somewhere I am happy, somewhere I enjoy with people I enjoy and somewhere I can find peace, so I'm not afraid of death anymore because I know where I'm going. This song almost always makes me cry for that reason, sorry for this being so long
Claras theme always hits me with hard emotions, because it reminds me of this girl who i met and she was impossible in so many ways, and i actually nicknamed her "My impossible girl". Were still talking today and were SUPER MEGA HYPER BESTEST BEST FRIENDS!!! All i can say is she saved my life and if i saw her in person again it would be the best day ever, i love her hugs and she saved my life, so if only she could see this comment, just thank you my impossible girl
I am SO gonna miss Clara as a companion she was my absolute favourite I love her soooo much and this theme is just a masterpiece!!! ...Aaaaand here come the waterworks😭😭😭😭😭 Gonna miss you Impossible Girl!
I have been listening to Murray Gold soundtracks of Doctor Who and I have become a huge fan of his work. There is a bit of everything in his composing. I noticed hints of Williams, Morricone and Zimmer and loads more. In combination with the images his music is breathtaking and makes me so emotional. But also while listening only to the pure music it opened up whole new dimensions, rater fitting for DW, don't you think? :-) Clara is one of my favourite companions and this theme sums her up in all of her wonderful self. Murray did an outstanding job with this as well.
+gefelice I think that most people did, after "The Bells of Saint John" and ESPECIALLY "The Name of the Doctor" Clara should've been just like Oswin but she was still written like she wasn't at Oswin's level of intelligence or wit
oswin was (base Oswald) + dalek database Clara was (base Oswald) even if clara had downloaded the whole internet into her brain, oswin had that too, as well as the entire dalek internet
I adore Clara's theme. Something so perfect and magical. Stunning. Amy's theme is a close secong but man I love this, I will now go back and watch some Clara doctor who
This music is magical and captures what Clara is like in notes. She was by far my favourite companion as she was quirky and funny. Whenever I hear the music it makes me extremely emotional because it is such a beautiful piece of music.
I just realised I've listened to this video like 10 times and still haven't commented! Great job on compiling all of Clara's themes together! Love your work!
I like to think that after Clara stole her own TARDIS, she went off and made a name for herself much like in the way the Doctor did. She became one of those fantastical stories in the universe whose tales outlive the stars themselves and inspire others to dare and to dream. She fought and dreamed and loved and lost and over it all, she just LIVED. Even in the end she was impossible.
After a long time watching videos about Doctor Who companions ranked from worst to best it feels so good that I can read here comments from people who love Clara as much as me. I already thought that I am the only one...
I always see rankings online saying Clara is the worse companion. She may not be the best sidekick to The Doctor but she is a great *Doctor* Clara had some cons throughout. She almost ran away when she thought the Doctor was not the same person when he regenerated, she also lost control and planned to take over the Doctor to bring back Danny Pink but in the end, didn't the Doctor also do everything to bring back Clara even if it means rupturing all time and space. Amy and Rory are still my all-time favorite companions but Clara is the greatest because she is the Doctor's Doctor
I've noticed within the last few season of DW that the music hasn't been as distinct or memorable as it use to be. For me the music was always an important part of DW starting with the Russel T. Davies era with Rose, Martha, Donna, and The Doctor's themes. The music was a key part of the storytelling with different arrangements of the The Doctor's theme popping up during more somber or emotionally powerful moments. This can also been seen with the different arrangements of Roses, Martha's(especially Martha's), and Donna as well. Moffat's era had a key number of tracks that showed up in multiple episodes as well, in particular the use to Amy's theme for 11 as well as Clara's. The way these songs came up over and over again in multiple episodes cemented their emotional importance to the overarching story being told as well as the arcs for each character. Unfortunately the music in the last couple seasons has felt utterly unmemorable in every way. Neither Graham, Ryan or Yaz have any themes that I can recall from memory or stand out for their character growth or importance to the overarching narrative (not that there has been much of either). I feel like this is a very important element that they Chris Chibnall has been lacking.
I love Clara, I first saw Jenna Coleman play Queen Victoria on the show Victoria watch the first season of that and you'll think Clara is the kindest, sweetest person ever. Also, she and the 12th doctor have one of the best relationships in my opinion, not only did she support him, but she also stayed with him through regeneration, unlike Rose who he went from a Comedic goof to a younger, dashing, handsome man, Clara went from a childish and young to an older, grumpy, Scotsman!(Still love you 12, solid third favorite doctor)
okey, thanks ! Do you know, in french, the Clara's voice is the Sally Sparrow's voice in "Weeping angels" with the tenth doctor and Martha Jones ! I love this episode so much !!
I agree with all the above. I'm amurican and not good at English. Honestly, its such a complicated and ridiculous language. Still don't know all the rules. My entire writing technique is one big, giant wing it.
Turbo9987 agreed. Clara is amazing and I want to hug her. And I was historically crying when she died. My friend told me that she didn’t really die and I shouldn’t be crying but Clara had left the show. And when the Doctor forgot her I was dying. He’s like if I found her I would know it was her. AND HE SAID IT TO CLARA. I WAS DEAD AT THAT POINT
this song makes me both happy and sad as fuck and i dont know why its not like shes dead in real life or that i even know her but yet i still feel this way
This is my favourite theme. I absolutely love Clara, she is the impossible girl and she captured my attention from the first moment I saw her. She was the person who saved the doctor by sacrificing herself. She was amazing
Love when the Clara's theme was used to remind The Doctor about how sad mind wipes can be when he attempted to mind wipe Bill Potts. As a Doctor Who fan the theme is instantly recognizable, so much so that just a simple five second sound cue is enough to transport us into the Doctor's psyche.

I agree with that. It’s beautiful energetic playful wry sassy and balanced much like how she is. And every time it went on when she and the doctor would talk would make anyone’s heart flutter in admiration. The impossible girl heh.
Maybe you don't like Clara, but you'd be lying to my face if you said her theme isn't beautiful. And you know that.
I love Clara, just think she could have been written better at times. She didn’t have to be so abrasive sometimes, let us all see how much she cares about the Doctor.
I love clara shes my favourite companion i will never understand why many disliked her
❤ Clara
You are absolutely right
Because Amy is better, as the 10's better than 11's
Clara's theme is my favorite of all the Companion themes. Amy's theme was my favorite, but the first time Clara stepped into the TARDIS the melody just swept me away. Amy's theme gave that "childlike wonder" that Matt Smith seemed to embody. The feeling we all get when we first start to watch the Doctor. But Clara's theme is more romantic and simply magical.

But cooler
Martiniman A cool Disney princess!
+Iris Leason because Disney Princesses are cool. *puts fez and shades on*
Clara, as a disney princess, with a bowtie and a fezz = coolest thing that could never exist :p
This song (in my opinion) is the opposite of A sad man / madman with a box, yet both are beautiful.
To me this theme really embodies "run, you clever boy, and remember me"; the first bit sounds lots like Clara is saying, "I'm gonna go away a lot, but I'll always come back. Don't worry. Everything will be okay in the end."

How can you fall in love with a song, they asked. Its all about finding the right one, I said.
I agree
she was the prettiest of all the companions, and the most fun to watch
Oh, Clara...I feel that out of all of the Doctor's companions, she's the one who helped the Doctor the most. Technically, he literally wouldn't be alive without her...
It's all thanks to Missy. I miss missy (Michelle Gomez) she's gone at the end of series 10.
also wouldn't be alive if it weren't for...
well...
most of them
rurumeto I just got done watching the first how to train your dragon and for some reason I read “Well most of them” in a Scottish accent like at the end when gobber says “well, you know, most of him” it’s not really relevant. Just thought you should know you put me into Scottish mode for a moment...
She did help him the most, but I think most of the companions saved the Doctor's life at some point ( I don't know if the Classic ones did but the New Who ones did) Rose did on more than one occassion ( most significantly when she crossed over to the parallel world to warn Donna ) and so did Martha ( most significant when she walked the earth ) and Donna, especially when she saved the universe. Amy saved the Doctor when she remembered him back into existence.
Same she's my favourite
When they played this song in the new episode I cried like a baby
I thought: "Don't do that." And many people probably: "Too soon".
Remember she's an immortal. And she has a granddaughter...
Like there weren't enough feels attached to this theme already.... :'(

R.I.P
Clara Oswald (Impossible girl)
"Run you clever boy"
Season 7 -Season 9
:_(_______________ she was my fav
I miss her so much 😢
I swear, I think I loved Clara from the moment she appeared on camera. I clung to her wit in Asylum of the Daleks, but it was Murray Gold's BEAUTIFUL theme that started when she appeared as the "barmaid Clara" that solidified my new favorite companion. I love that her theme continues in series 8, and keeps that lightness that was always with Eleven. Can't wait for Series 9 to see what Murray Gold comes up with next!!
The best Companion theme. Sad, but happy. So hopeful,so brave.
Just got better with Capaldi, what a great companion
She caught my eye as a Dalek who had a problem with souffle's. She had me as the serving girl who pops through the top of the coach and says "Doctor Who?". And I fell in love when she ran around the Tardis and proclaimed "It's smaller on the outside". And, yes, it hurt as Peter Capaldi played it on his guitar, proclaiming his love for his lost Impossible Girl. The 'eye thing'. That face. That smile (and those dimples!) Murray Gold's music is as much a part of the modern Who as the Doctor. And the song is almost as beautiful as Jenna herself.
I could honestly listen to this all day. Such an iconic piece of music for such an iconic character. Clara was just so magical. There are many ways to describe her but that's a word I'd choose. Magical. Mystical. Whimsical. Honestly the list goes on. I'll always miss her, and she'll always be my favourite ❤
Murray Gold is an absolute genius. His musical scores are always exactly what each moment of each scene requires. Of all the themes of the DW characters, "Clara's Theme" is the one that gives me goosebumps (and evokes the occasional tear).
Perfectly said!
great post. Clara deserved a theme worthy of her character.
Murray Gold at his finest. Clara's theme always gives me the chills because it's so beautiful and magical. Just like an certain impossible girl...
i cant remember if i commented before, but whenever i watch doctor who or listen to the soundtrack i get all restive and christmas-y because at Christmas theres a huge doctor who marathon that goes on for i think 1-2 days and its a tradition that we watch the whole thing until midnight on Christmas eve and its amazing.
Donna Nobble is my fav, but Clara is seriously making me to reconsider....
Clara is my fav, followed by donna ;)

Thanks, I'm tuning up my own personal guitar arrangement, and this is just what I needed to compare the different versions.
Lovely! This is one of THE most beautiful Doctor Who companion themes since Rose! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
I wasn't sold on Clara for a long time, and her theme seemed to be used in too simple places, a bit on the nose for "happy". Then the last episode happened.
Too good. Too beautiful. It seemed to be played different, melancholically, so fitting.
Then the reference to her in the first episode of season 10, with Bill not wanting to forget.
It killed me. I had started disliking Clara, and know I missed her.
P.S.: even though I learn American English, since this is the most I've heard the name being used, whenever I think of it in my head it has a more British pronunciation, going towards Scottish.
Love this tune, 13 minutes of Clara!
Thanks you ! ^^
still listening to this 9 years later lol
@@maddietaylor2595 I feel old now
With this theme in mind... it's hard not to have a bit of a crush on Clara. (*blushes dreamily*)
welcome to my world
Well, I'm a straight girl, and even I feel like I have a crush on her from time to time... ;D
Heowa I LOVE YOUR AVATAR !
John Smith
Thank you! :) Whenever I see two of my fandoms combined, I just can't resist. ;) Yours is cool too, I like real-life-turned-into-animation or vice versa almost as much.^^
Thanks you !
It's Frozen and Mara Jade right ? ^^
This song means a lot to me for a strange reason, a few years ago I was involved in a car accident which put me in a coma for 2 days however I didn't know that because when the car crashed all I saw was a bright flash of light and I woke up in a forest I used to go to with my grandfather we would set up a telescope in the woods and watch the stars as he told his stories, we would then sit around a camp fire, and for some reason I had woken up in that forest at night. I noticed a camp about 50 feet away with all my friends, my grandfather, my daughter basically all my favourite people in the world sat around a camp fire.
I was a little confused so headed over to it and the closer I got the weirder I felt, it almost felt like panic but a different kind of panic than normal, I could hear them talking and laughing but the closer I got the worse it got. Eventually I turned around and ran away and that was when i awoken to this song, my daughter and father had put it on while waiting for me to wake for some calm music not just for me but for her
It was strange because I've felt a lot of comfort by that dream, because I believe that if I had sat down I would've passed on and in that moment that was my last thought and that thought would've echoed for all eternity and that felt really great because in my last moments my mind took me somewhere I am happy, somewhere I enjoy with people I enjoy and somewhere I can find peace, so I'm not afraid of death anymore because I know where I'm going.
This song almost always makes me cry for that reason, sorry for this being so long
Run you, clever boy, and remember me
Torres Gamiing You, you didn't see The Name of The Doctor ^^
It is "Run You Clever Boy And Remember Me"
Ohhhhh. I like the snowmen better though
John Smith u didn't see all of season 7.its "Run You Clever Boy, And Remember"
And remember ME !
Watch The Name of the Doctor again ;)
John Smith no,that was in ONLY the season final.not ALL of the series
Claras theme always hits me with hard emotions, because it reminds me of this girl who i met and she was impossible in so many ways, and i actually nicknamed her "My impossible girl". Were still talking today and were SUPER MEGA HYPER BESTEST BEST FRIENDS!!! All i can say is she saved my life and if i saw her in person again it would be the best day ever, i love her hugs and she saved my life, so if only she could see this comment, just thank you my impossible girl
I am SO gonna miss Clara as a companion she was my absolute favourite I love her soooo much and this theme is just a masterpiece!!!
...Aaaaand here come the waterworks😭😭😭😭😭 Gonna miss you Impossible Girl!
+EmmaR5er Yep, Clara was amazing, even doe i watched all of Classic DW, Clara managed to become my fav companion!
+IgorUsePro( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) mine too!
agree 100%
What I'd give to go back to those days 💙😢
Oh my god,I teared up while listening to this.you are brilliant!i bloody love you
Thank you !
I have been listening to Murray Gold soundtracks of Doctor Who and I have become a huge fan of his work. There is a bit of everything in his composing. I noticed hints of Williams, Morricone and Zimmer and loads more. In combination with the images his music is breathtaking and makes me so emotional. But also while listening only to the pure music it opened up whole new dimensions, rater fitting for DW, don't you think? :-)
Clara is one of my favourite companions and this theme sums her up in all of her wonderful self. Murray did an outstanding job with this as well.
"Run, you clever boy and remember." bro imma cry now
"You said memories become stories when we forget them, maybe some of them become songs" TEARS
Is it weird that I liked Oswin more than Clara?
Anyway, this is just the best theme~
+gefelice I preferred her too...
+gefelice same
+gefelice I think that most people did, after "The Bells of Saint John" and ESPECIALLY "The Name of the Doctor" Clara should've been just like Oswin but she was still written like she wasn't at Oswin's level of intelligence or wit
Yes when she become clara her scenes were not actually interesting as compared to Oswin Oswald
oswin was (base Oswald) + dalek database
Clara was (base Oswald)
even if clara had downloaded the whole internet into her brain, oswin had that too, as well as the entire dalek internet
I adore Clara's theme. Something so perfect and magical. Stunning. Amy's theme is a close secong but man I love this, I will now go back and watch some Clara doctor who
Loved it, and thanks for posting it.
You are welcom ! And thanks you !
Dat cute wittle nose
43eyes i love her nose too ahahahah
43eyes, u just made my day 😂
Bells, recorder, violins, horn's, triangle, vocal's or a Vox machine. Clara was awesome beautiful and just perfect :D
This music is magical and captures what Clara is like in notes. She was by far my favourite companion as she was quirky and funny. Whenever I hear the music it makes me extremely emotional because it is such a beautiful piece of music.
I just watched 60 years of Dr Who music...they didn't play Clara's theme, so here I am. Beautiful ❤️
There have been so many great companions , BUT Clara is the only One , that I think many of us could fall in love with ,
You can add Amy for sure, why not Rose; and probably others...
Merci trop bien! This melody is beautiful!
Clara's theme is like you wake up, having breakfast near the window and here comes the singing of the birds.
This is so well put!
I just realised I've listened to this video like 10 times and still haven't commented! Great job on compiling all of Clara's themes together! Love your work!
I like to think that after Clara stole her own TARDIS, she went off and made a name for herself much like in the way the Doctor did. She became one of those fantastical stories in the universe whose tales outlive the stars themselves and inspire others to dare and to dream. She fought and dreamed and loved and lost and over it all, she just LIVED. Even in the end she was impossible.
After a long time watching videos about Doctor Who companions ranked from worst to best it feels so good that I can read here comments from people who love Clara as much as me. I already thought that I am the only one...
People rank her too low on their lists 😔
Clara's theme is so beautiful omg!
I'd have to say Amy & Clara's themes are my favorite❤
One of the most noticeable DW soundtracks. Right up there with "I Am The Doctor".
I always see rankings online saying Clara is the worse companion. She may not be the best sidekick to The Doctor but she is a great *Doctor*
Clara had some cons throughout. She almost ran away when she thought the Doctor was not the same person when he regenerated, she also lost control and planned to take over the Doctor to bring back Danny Pink but in the end, didn't the Doctor also do everything to bring back Clara even if it means rupturing all time and space.
Amy and Rory are still my all-time favorite companions but Clara is the greatest because she is the Doctor's Doctor
fucking Murray Gold, what an absolutely befitting soundtrack.
Clara's arc has been phenomenal.
this song is so beautiful. it captures claras entire character. cute, beautiful, caring, kind and amazing
Haven't watched dw in 2 maybe 3 years, yet now that i listen to this, it brings tears in my eyes.
Based 13th Doctor Avoider: 👆
"Run you clever boy and remember me",said the impossible girl
One of the most beautiful melodies ever written.
I just watched Hell Bent for the first time and I already miss her! Definitely favorite companion. Her theme is magical too.
I've noticed within the last few season of DW that the music hasn't been as distinct or memorable as it use to be. For me the music was always an important part of DW starting with the Russel T. Davies era with Rose, Martha, Donna, and The Doctor's themes. The music was a key part of the storytelling with different arrangements of the The Doctor's theme popping up during more somber or emotionally powerful moments. This can also been seen with the different arrangements of Roses, Martha's(especially Martha's), and Donna as well. Moffat's era had a key number of tracks that showed up in multiple episodes as well, in particular the use to Amy's theme for 11 as well as Clara's. The way these songs came up over and over again in multiple episodes cemented their emotional importance to the overarching story being told as well as the arcs for each character.
Unfortunately the music in the last couple seasons has felt utterly unmemorable in every way. Neither Graham, Ryan or Yaz have any themes that I can recall from memory or stand out for their character growth or importance to the overarching narrative (not that there has been much of either). I feel like this is a very important element that they Chris Chibnall has been lacking.
Hopefully RTD can get Murray Gold to come back with him, so we can get the good music back again.
I love Clara, I first saw Jenna Coleman play Queen Victoria on the show Victoria watch the first season of that and you'll think Clara is the kindest, sweetest person ever. Also, she and the 12th doctor have one of the best relationships in my opinion, not only did she support him, but she also stayed with him through regeneration, unlike Rose who he went from a Comedic goof to a younger, dashing, handsome man, Clara went from a childish and young to an older, grumpy, Scotsman!(Still love you 12, solid third favorite doctor)
Matt and Jenna were awesome :)
I have this on repeat almost all day.
I was born to save the Doctor
Favorite line from Clara!
Agreed, but I also like the line "Rescue me chin-boy and show me the stars!" she isn't afraid of much that one LOL
This gives me life. Thank you so much for making this video. lol
I love Clara so much
yeah.... me too. Why did Clara leave Doctor Who ? :'( (I'm french, so if my sentence is bad, that is normal =))
Mr. Pokewho As far as I could tell, there were no grammatical mistakes so well done.
Also I completely agree with you.
okey, thanks ! Do you know, in french, the Clara's voice is the Sally Sparrow's voice in "Weeping angels" with the tenth doctor and Martha Jones ! I love this episode so much !!
I agree with all the above. I'm amurican and not good at English. Honestly, its such a complicated and ridiculous language. Still don't know all the rules. My entire writing technique is one big, giant wing it.
Turbo9987 agreed. Clara is amazing and I want to hug her. And I was historically crying when she died. My friend told me that she didn’t really die and I shouldn’t be crying but Clara had left the show. And when the Doctor forgot her I was dying. He’s like if I found her I would know it was her. AND HE SAID IT TO CLARA. I WAS DEAD AT THAT POINT
this song makes me both happy and sad as fuck and i dont know why its not like shes dead in real life or that i even know her but yet i still feel this way
Clara, Vastra, Jenny Flint ,strax and River Song the best combination
I love this awesome theme!!!
Beautiful, just like Clara. :)
agree :D
Listening to this make me repeat the Clara’s season again. Ive just finished it but the songs are gold.
So sad that Clara has gone. But as the saying goes "don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
Beautiful!!!!
:3 Clara is so amazing.....
THIS alone makes Clara my favorite companion (well, lots of other things too)
Yes, same things for me :D
I know right in my opinion she's the best!!!
I assume you never saw all the episodes with Rose?
Rose ? Who is that ?
She was the companion for the ninth and tenth doctors. She had a really emotional story...
Absolutely amazing. Thank you! :)
Thanks you and you are welcome !
This is my favourite theme. I absolutely love Clara, she is the impossible girl and she captured my attention from the first moment I saw her. She was the person who saved the doctor by sacrificing herself. She was amazing
Sacrificed herself twice dont forget
I loved it when Clara said "Run you clever boy. And remember." Such a wonderfully done character.
Rhan, je m'en lasserais jamais de l'écouter,
J'adore 🙃
Love this! So pretty!
I feel like you start to love Clara more and more by just listening to her theme
Magnifique.
My favourite companions out of all of them.
when it's the time for the doctor to remember clara.. but it just can't be possible.
frozen in time.
good bye, my clara.
All the girls were great but Clara... Imposible cuteness
Love when the Clara's theme was used to remind The Doctor about how sad mind wipes can be when he attempted to mind wipe Bill Potts. As a Doctor Who fan the theme is instantly recognizable, so much so that just a simple five second sound cue is enough to transport us into the Doctor's psyche.
Possibly Murray Gold's best companion theme.
