Percy’s growth throughout the classic series is probably best represented in this theme. Series 1 was bouncy and youthful, but, by series 5, Mike and Junior did great at adapting the theme for a more seasoned saddle tank. That said, I would venture to say that it sounds better with your actual instruments. Awesome job on this one Luke!
Percy’s season 5 theme is my favorite variant and this cover is just pure magic. I just *LOVE* the part at 1:26, it’s just so soothing! Simply beautiful…..
“Nice!!” I’m looking forward to it. I liked percys theme in season five just as much as the one in the first few seasons like series 1 for instance!. 😁 it builds up some good memories from my childhood as well.
Beautiful. Magnificent. I always preferred this Season 5 version of Percy's Theme to the original. It really came to symbolize Season 5 as a whole; the epitome of Thomas' development throughout the Golden Age, the production quality evolving and improving season by season until it finally reached its peak.
Whenever I think of season 5 themes, I definitely think of this one first. It’s so iconic. Your music recreations always make me happy, even if I already am super happy at the moment, these themes make me feel even happier! Amazing recreation as always!
One thing I enjoy about the themes that are released on Spotify first; is that I can take a guess as to what the instruments are, and when they go onto TH-cam I can see if I was right or not. It's quite fun.
Ah that's a great game! I've been trying to release a few first on there and then the other tracks are just remastered versions of the TH-cam uploads :)
As the series progressed, I loved how Mike and Junior would adapt their existing themes using the technology available at the time. It was clear by Series 4 and 5 that synthesisers had come a long way and we get this beautiful piece. How clever for these wonderful composers to illustrate two different moods for Percy - fun and silly (original) and then elegant and summery (orchestral). I loved how you put this together Luke, you are quite right - it is very evocative of a summer day and almost a 'maturity' to Percy. It's as if we watched him "grow up" as it were, if that makes sense. From bursting through buffers at the Wharf to setting up wedding decorations. Your arrangement is absolutely outstandingly perfect. I feel repetitive in my praise, but it truly is excellent work :-)

That tambourine and harp entrance!👌 the continuity and flow is brilliant. I always liked this version of Percy’s theme better - it seemed to really elevate his status and make him much more than just someone who was best known for being the main character’s best friend. Season 5 really was Percy’s prime 💫⭐️ Superb once again Luke! 👏🎶
1:54 reminds me of thomas' introduction in thomas and gordon in addition Percy's theme sounds like he's a captain in his jazz but peaceful and caring in his orchestrated theme, also remember this? "We must find something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue." 1:23 I hear a snare drum but aren't found
Now that you’ve covered a season 5 theme, please do Thomas’s season five theme, along with an instrumental adaptation of the episode toby and the flood, along with maybe expanding on Toby’s season five theme briefly heard in the episode Toby’s discovery. Regarding Toby and the flood, it was chosen by The Unlucky Tug to tell the world why the Thomas soundtrack is so groundbreaking. It would be amazing if you could cover Toby and the flood, yet the other themes of season five are my suggestions.
The trucks were still grumbling and there was more of them than ever. "You're much too small to pull all of us, we want another engine that will be struggling up the hill all night. All night alright, you can puff and blow, but on that hill you're still too slow." "S-s-s-slow yourself," stutter Percy. "Temper temper," giggled the trucks.
Definitely my favorite Thomas theme that you arranged! I love Percy's theme already and you just gave it so much more life and I love it so so much! The cheery and slightly playful-ness really brings the music alive. Amazing cover!!✨ -Fellow Horn player :)
2:29 I've specifically wanted to mention that I personally believe that you've seriously managed to capture Percy the Small Engine's own official classic era's entire season 5-6 theme from the show's very own complete classic era perfectly, and especially since I personally think that you certainly SHOULD DEFINITELY make an official cover of his own official classic era's entire 1st season theme as I've personally got a hunch that Percy the Small Engine himself certainly WOULD DEFINITELY very much considerably apparently appreciate it very much! By the way, it's completely obviously clear that I personally noticed that exactly some of the scenes in the middle of the screen featured a certain character considerably known as Old Slow Coach that he certainly saved from getting seriously cut up into pieces by the horrifyingly horrible faith of the Scrapper's torch with the official clever assistance from his own official best friend known as Thomas the Tank Engine himself!
Well, you managed exactly what you said. The theme is lively and bright, like a beautiful summer day. Which is not a given, using a full orchestra. But it was all very light and airy and enjoyable.
The Absolute most fabulous thing about your videos is, they are legit! Actually played, and not done with a program! Real music with with an amazing melody! Amazing job portraying an unforgettable theme! Magical!
I know I’m late but I just wanted to say that this is a masterpiece, percy’s season 5 theme is my favourite theme of his, and you have captured the magic that it used to be for me in my childhood, fantastic work 👏
I’m really excited to hear this, as it was my first request. I also want to request; could you possibly do Thomas’s sad/sunset theme? It’s one of the oldest themes that was last heard in season 2. It’s also a very short theme but maybe you could make an extension of it? Thanks. Edit: wow! After hearing this cover it sounds very accurate to the show! I really enjoyed listening to this!
Oh like the theme at the end of Thomas & Gordon? That's a good idea, but he's kinda already covered the season 1 themes, but still it's I great idea I'd hope as well it's covered.
I like your edition of Percy's Original Theme. It's so jazzy and bouncy, but this theme is much more graceful, relaxing, soothing, and peaceful. Great job, Luke. Very great job. 👍👍👍👍
YEs! A season 5 arrangement! Or even if it's the music video track; I'd take either. I'm not immediately requesting season 5/ orchestral remakes, but that's amazing you're covering covers themselves lol.
@@InstrumentManiac Yay, season 5 (and I guess 6 - 7) had some interesting themes for characters, and orchestral versions of themes such as Thomas, Gordon, Henry, etc.
@@SamuEL-73nuu.o.S I don’t remember Henry having much of an orchestral theme, yet he definitely had his danger theme in the episodes haunted Henry and something in the air.
That was beautiful, so many layers to it, I loved the harp one of my favourite instruments! Your previous Percy theme with Jack Amblin on the washboard was brilliant and cheerful, one of my go to happy tunes, but I feel this is on another level again. The Maniac makes a Masterpiece! Congratulations my friend. I'm going to listen again!
I have some requests. Some of the engines season 7/8-12themes since they are a quite different take on the originals and are quite amazing in their own rights. That being said. This sounds amazing.
If you can't see percy near the glockenspiel ur blind also for some reason tambourines and chime trees are perfect for each other also can u do the danger theme (easiest theme you'll make)
Percy was working in the coal mines. He was feeling bored and lonely with only the silly trucks for company. "Cheer up Percy," said his driver. " The fat controller has informed me that we must be here again tomorrow, we've just got to make the best of a bad situation." "I'll try sir," sighed Percy. The next day Percy puff back to the coal mines, when he arrived the trucks started teasing him. " Percy Percy green and small, he's no use to us at all, around the yards he'll puff and blow, but on the hills he's oh so slow." "Be quiet!"
Is this Percy's Season 5 theme? If you are doing that, maybe do Thomas' Season 7 theme? Thomas' Season 7 theme is completely different from his Seasons 1-4 theme.

Season 5 had the best Percy theme, glad you are arranging it.
It's totally one of Mike and Junior's best!
Season 5 was pretty much centred on Percy, it was the season where we see how much he's grown.
Percy’s been put upon, put upon, put upon, Percy‘s been put upon poor old Percy!
I HAVE been put upon ! Said percy
Thomas : What are you two doing now?
Percy’s growth throughout the classic series is probably best represented in this theme. Series 1 was bouncy and youthful, but, by series 5, Mike and Junior did great at adapting the theme for a more seasoned saddle tank.
That said, I would venture to say that it sounds better with your actual instruments. Awesome job on this one Luke!
I totally agree! The arrangement grew just like the show and characters did. Thanks Scott!
Adorable how a wooden Percy’s observing the music. You’re so versatile.
Haha thanks Christopher!
Percy’s season 5 theme is my favorite variant and this cover is just pure magic. I just *LOVE* the part at 1:26, it’s just so soothing!
Simply beautiful…..
“Is this season fives version of percys theme?!” 😀
IT is!
“Nice!!” I’m looking forward to it. I liked percys theme in season five just as much as the one in the first few seasons like series 1 for instance!. 😁 it builds up some good memories from my childhood as well.
i legit was going to say season 5 theme as the earlier theme is different iirc, thats pog
Yes
No this is Patrick

It really came to symbolize Season 5 as a whole; the epitome of Thomas' development throughout the Golden Age, the production quality evolving and improving season by season until it finally reached its peak.
Totally! I feel like season 5 was a real peak of the music and the stories in the series
“Percy will be most excited.”
Someone’s last words before he got run over by a small 0-4-0 tank engine.
excited*
Who was the tank engine
Percy. He has four wheels, that's why it says 0-4-0.
Whenever I think of season 5 themes, I definitely think of this one first. It’s so iconic. Your music recreations always make me happy, even if I already am super happy at the moment, these themes make me feel even happier! Amazing recreation as always!
Wow, thank you!
It really fits the more cinematic feel of Season 5.
This is my favorite version of Percy’s theme. It’s beautiful

dirty percy
It’s on Spotify already for ppl who want to hear. And it’s glorious
😊😊😊
My 2nd favourite track from Themes of Sodor Vol. 3! It’s just so beautiful & uplifting
Geeeez Percy is so cute
I love the sound of it on themes of sodor vol 3
Ahh glad you like it thanks for listening to the album!

Did anyone else notice his tambourine fall apart at 1:48

And Gordon's theme is great as well
Man, this guy is like the Percy Faith of Thomas soundtrack. The sound is so lush and warm.
"Soon they reach Tidmouth "Milk"! (**** *lapi** ***). As Percy was shunting he heard a voice. "Hello Percy" "Nice day for it isn't it".
Not only is the wooden percy next to the glockenspiel so nice the cover is as well! Every cover is getting better Luke incredible job!
Thanks conman!!

Ah,the S5 theme, so calming and charming
It just sounds like the TV show you nailed it
This theme is just the perfect one for me thank you for making this video
Oh! How exciting! I look forward to hearing your adaptation of this delightful, cheery theme 😀
Hope you enjoy it!

Ahh thanks Nicholas! Waiting for publishing approval for volume 4 - hopefully soon!
Aw I loved it. ^^ Such a charming lil tune. Excellent work!
Thank you so much!
I like your edition of Percy's Original Theme. It's so jazzy and bouncy, but this theme is much more graceful, relaxing, soothing, and peaceful. Great job, Luke. Very great job. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Nathan!
The best thing is that percy is right next to one of the instruments.
This is a bomb tho.
Great job!
Also next theme should be percy and Harold’s race
I have no words for this masterpiece
BRAVO! Percy would love this!
This must have been a long process, we get so many more of you than usual. The soprano sax stands out nice. Great video thanks for your work. 👍👍
Thanks DC! I like the larger groups too but they take awhile to record 😂
Beautiful cover good sir, you really had me with the harp and tambourine and holy moly that made this theme more majestic. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
This is very clever 👍 love this song
Beautiful.

Like I always say, Thank you Luke. That was awesome.
Thank you too!

Percy was involved a whole lot more in season 5 when you think about it.....great it was! (My icon says it all)
A great character!
Iove this one you did a great one 10 out of 10
Jovial Percy🕊🎼
Percy when he gets a bit smarter :)
Sounds great I hope the next one will be great I wonder what's next
Hi Luke. I can’t wait to say thank you for this one.

Happy birthday Nathan!
Can you do the themes of Thomas & Friends: The Adventure Begins?
Percy’s theme always puts me in a great mood! You did a very good job! Not only up lifting but relaxing!!!
Keep up the excellent work!
Glad to hear thanks Dustin!
I legit love how every time there’s a glockenspiel there will be the wooden railway version of the characters theme 😂
I try to include all the wooden models I have from childhood!
This was amazing Luke, just to say if you are covering some S5 themes, could you possibly do a cover of the Duncan Gets Spooked theme 😁
Thanks Thomas, stay tuned for Halloween!
Hearing it now, it is glorious! :-D
I have some requests. Some of the engines season 7/8-12themes since they are a quite different take on the originals and are quite amazing in their own rights. That being said. This sounds amazing.
Love this! Very beautiful! Bravo 👏
Thanks KM!

Incredible
If you can't see percy near the glockenspiel ur blind also for some reason tambourines and chime trees are perfect for each other also can u do the danger theme (easiest theme you'll make)
the season 5 danger theme? There's also season 1- 2 and 3 - 4 danger themes

It's very lush on the later seasons??? Great music

He collected metal from the foundry, rock from the quarry, flour from the mills, and fuel from the depot. Then he delivered it all to the docks
