Thomas and Friends was easily my favorite TV show growing up. I loved its characters and the way it was made fascinated so much, that it was one of the earliest reasons I got into filmmaking.
So when I was presented with the chance to write a song for a Thomas And Friends project, I jumped at the chance. Sadly the project ended up getting scrapped, but I was allowed to publish the song when and how I please! (Sidenote: The project wasn't Engines United, that is still being worked on)
So sit back with a good pair of headphones and enjoy my song "You Are The Number One", a tribute to everyone's favorite tank engine.

Lyrics
(1st Verse)
He’s got a short stumpy funnel
and a short stumpy dome
The Island Of Sodor
Is where you call home
Always ready
Always Willing
To come and help
A little cheeky
But we know he always means well.
From Knapford Station
To Brendam Docks
Helping his engine friends
shunt the troublesome trucks
And when he’s not doing that all the time
He’s working on his own branch line
(Chorus)
He is The Number One
He Is The Number One
Thomas You’re Number One
You Are The Number One
(2nd Verse)
The world knows
He’s a really useful engine
Making tracks
To greater destinations
A Shining Blue streak
of positivity
Since 1984
He’s been a friend
to you and me
When you hear his whistle
coming down the line
You always know its gonna be a good time
You’ll get a smooth ride
In Annie And Clarabel
As He pulls you
through the Sodor Countryside
You are the number one
You will always be the number one
(Bridge)
He know’s he’s not alone
He’s got his friends right by his side
Edward, James, Henry, Gordon, Percy
And many more in sight
They’ll ride united
Stand together through the stormy weather
Steamie Or Diesel
Yeah it doesn’t really matter
Sir Topham Hatt
Loves all his engines
He gave them numbers
as a sign of affection
But there can only be one number one
Yeah there can only be one
(Chorus)
He’s The Number One
He Is The Number One
Thomas You’re Number One
You Are The Number One
You Are The Number One
You Are The Number One

Sonny Thomas Fan I made the song! And the photo is a promo shot I found on the Thomas and Friends wiki.
Arcade Productions this is amazing
Arcade Productions Can I Use This Song in a fanfic
Arcade Productions is that a yes or a no
Arcade Productions Sorry i am just confused by the heart
Okay the “Since 1984 he’s been a friend to you and me” really got me wonderful Arcade
I heard this on SoundCloud and let me just say, that it just blew me away!!! This would seriously make the perfect song for a feature-length Thomas film! Well done, you nailed it!!!!! :D
You’re Damn Right, It Would! If This Song Were Used in a Full-length Feature Film Of Thomas The Tank Engine Using a Few Musical Elements Into It That Would Be Amazing If They Were Actually Doing It. And I’ve Got the Perfect Plot For the Film;
The NWR is In Financial Trouble And In Order To Save Money, The Fat Controller Decides To Sell Some Of His Engines, Thomas Being One Of Them. However, Diesel 10 Sees This a Chance To Finish The Steam Engines And Once Finding Out About His Plans, Thomas Must Get Back To Save Sodor.
I literally stared crying a tear after hearing this, bravo, bravo hear Arcade Productions, you've done good here!
"Since 1984, he's been a friend to you and me." I really love that line. This whole song, in fact, is wonderful. Really good movie ending potential. This really ought to be an official song for the series. Nicely done, and you just got another subscriber :)
Actually it’s 1946
This is just a beautiful, the perfect song for the end credits of a Thomas movie. :)
I Agree!
@@tonybusch8771 Me too!
@@bogsmaldonado7290 Same!
This song will help us remember what Thomas was. He was our number one.
Now that's a great song, I'm thinking of using it for a music video for my feature length special for my series' 10th anniversary next year, it's just the song I'm looking for, great job :)
This makes me happy!!! Feels like a end of an awesome Thomas Movie! Keep your splendid work man!!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thomas T'n'P Productions Thank you so man! I definitely will!
Thomas T'n'P Productions You know what? I think they should make another Thomas & Friends theater movie
Jeremiah Combs Probably like that
Thomas T'n'P Productions you mean like engines united a Thomas and friends movie
Thomas T'n'P Productions this song is awesome and I love your comment about what I said about this song should be on engines united a Thomas and friends movie but I don't know what the plot of the film
As a fan of Thomas and Friends. This song captures my feelings towards my and many other people’s favorite useful engine.
Same here, man.
i wish this was an official thomas song it's that good!
seriously well done!
TheGermanofSodor Thank you man!
you're welcome!
also i just noticed i made spelling error i meant it's that good :P
TheGermanofSodor im with you
Thomas and friends is my childhood and I still watch it to this day you can call me a part of the Thomas Community
Wow! This is incredible! I can't believe I haven't notice this until now!
Man, I wish this was an official song!
Me Too.
Wow, That is really great, definitely better then anything we get these days.. Well done.
ilovetrains323 ❤ Thank you man!
Robbie Rotten gets the spotlight with his minion twins being "number one", but Thomas The Tank Engine shall get the same now in the same aspect of great musical creativity to everyone else now! = )
Sorry I haven't gotten around to commenting on it until now, but this is a really lovely song! I'm always amazed at how well-produced your lyrical songs are, they really do sound professional, and I always love how gentle and sweet they are. This is no exception.
Awesome job! I can't wait to hear more from you!
This is beautiful! A very quite and clever way of making a new Thomas song! I'm so downloading and this is makes me smile. I hope one day this will be feature in a Thomas special.
This is beautiful!
I’m Watching This In 2019 And I Think This Beautiful MasterPiece Should Be Part Of The 75th Anniversary
Right in the childhood. The feels
I loved this song. I can't wait to hear more from you. I hope you one day make another. Thomas song. You did really well with this.
Freaking amazing, dude! I'm sure if the producers ever saw this, they might as well call you up for a job on their team! If Thomas himself could watch this video and listen to this masterpiece, I'm sure he would be moved at the talent and appreciation of this fan base...
Can't get this out of my head! It's that good! Bravo!!
This is a great song about Thomas the Tank Engine. I am enjoying this one.
If HiT Entertainment finds this I bet they would plead and beg and PAY YOU to use this in some sort of special or movie. It's just THAT good!!! Epic work! :D
Can imagine this being played at the beginning of a full on Thomas musical! :D Loved this! Stunning work. :) Very brave of you.
Why don't you have more subs? Seriously, why?! This music is some of the best ever. It's down right cinematic. You deserve a bigger audience.
I am very VERY impressed , I watch this about 4 times are it's still amazing , I would say these songs are as good , if not better than the real ones from the official show , well done !
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
There is only one thing to say.
*W*
*O*
*A*
*H*
like what you did with the effection part makes so much sense and this is now my ringtone :P
This is truly one of the best songs I've ever heard. Great job
Words can’t describe how awesome this is. Good work
Wow! You really captured the song extremely well. It totally suits Thomas and the lyrics are really fitting. Well done! I love it! :D
Jonathan Asiamah Me To
This is an amazing song, it's not every day when someone tries to make a fan made song for the Thomas fandom. The tune to this is majestic and the voices are superb. It is a shame that the 'Engines United' special was cancelled.
I honestly thought this would be a great contribution up there with the works of Tines Sensahthe.
May your father rest in peace and bless him for introducing you to the wonderful world of Sodor.
Steam Powered Cyborg Thank you for the kind words man ❤ This actually wasnt for Engines United! It was for another project that never came into fruition. That project is still a go with me as the Director and Co Writer! Me and my writing partner have been reworking the script since The Great Race trailer dropped.
You have an incredibly singing voice Christian! This is amazing!
This is actually a nice song
I love Thomas when I was little
I can tell a lot of time and heart was put into this. This show has always had great music. 🎼 This song is just too awesome!!! It needs to be put into the series and movies! 👍
This was really really good. The lyrics are really nice along with the beat. Fantastic work!
This is my favorite song man i lovet dude
Great Job Arcade!,This should be an song for a DVD!
OMG This is so beautiful, perfect and amazing! The lyrics and the voice make it sound WONDERFUL! Really love this! GREAT JOB!!! 💗👌😍
I'm blown away! Best song ever!
I loved this. When the pitch got deeper when it was talking about Thomas's friends I thought it was going to talk about James at the scrapyard on the mainland in Journey beyond Sodor for some odd reason probably because of the tone but besides from that I loved it! Definitely gonna share on Twitter!
No words. Just amazing!
this song will be good for the thomas and friends company.
After I heard a bit “ Sir Topham hat loves all his engines he gave them numbers as a sign of affection” I started to cry
Hot damn, This is amazing!
Im sick right now but when I heard this, it made me feel so much better. GREAT JOB! MY GOODNESS.
I love what I have just heard here. It really works on Thomas the Tank Engine and it does tell about our favourite little blue engine on what he does on Sodor. Forward this song to HiT Entertainment and see what they make of it. I'm sure they will love it. Plus, I can see this song becoming part of a Thomas Movie. I'm very impressed with what you have presented here :).
Maybe this song will be in thomas the movie
@@jeremiahcombs237 Which movie? There are multiple, there isn't a movie called: "Thomas The Movie"
@@YoshiTheBoi oh rubbish you have no idea what I been through
@@jeremiahcombs237 You're sounding like Gordon now: "RUBBISH!"

Sounds like music that would play during the credits of a Thomas the Tank Engine movie.
Love that idea
When I saw this I thought this was from the show , it was beautiful you should maje mre like this.
this is amazing this should be the soundtrack for The Journey Beyond Sodor movie
Man this feels and sounds like a real official song that really could have been used for something special. Congrats my friend for this amazing piece of work.
Thank you dude!
A first for the Thomas fandom, and awesome beyond words. I've been a fan of Thomas' for 25 years, and listening to this song made me feel proud to be a fan of his. Good work Arcade, please do more Thomas songs. You are awesome. :)
Wow!! So heartwarming and so up beat! I wish this song was official!
I feel like this song would be the closing to when the show ends. Like forever lol.
It's still alive, just All Engines Go.
Ya gotta admit, it's not that bad, I think Eric was right in that Sodor Short, it IS just a TV show, no movie or TV show is worth being upset over.
Plus, Toby's coming to All Engines Go.
I listen to this 24/7 cuz its now my fav ttte song of all time
Blimey this was great man! I saw what you said on SiF and sorry to hear about what happened to the main project. But great work on mixing this together, love the lyrics, reminds of the "You're the Leader" song from back when that was huge.
This is well written, well sung, and the instrumental is amazing! You've got a talent, keep using it.
Dan the Pig Thank You boss! The love is much appreciated!
If you don't mind me asking, may I make a music video for this song & upload it? I'd credit you all over the video, since you deserve it.
I just read the description & now I feel stupid for asking. But, just so you know, I'm gonna use it in a music video!
Alongside Isaiah's Suite Vibes and this, this is really helping brighten me up.
This is the type of music we should be getting from the actual show...make them hire you man, this is just simply 10/10! :)
This is incredible! I can't stop listening. I wish we could have this instead of the songs we have now:/
Oh well, this is perfection anyways! Well done man, keep it up.
Thomas, You’re The Best Number 1 EVER!
This....this is...... this is... so ... beautiful!!! It's just so nice! They should hire you to write their songs!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! It feels like the end of a Thomas movie song or-- dare I say it?-- the end of the SERIES song.
ConductorColin Its comments like these that really make me wanna keep making songs and films. Thank you so much dude ❤
I love THOMAS & FRIENDS
It's been 5 years Ago Since you made this Song for us Thomas Fans ❤️
OMG! That was absolutely amazing! I would love to make this into a music video and dedicate it to you for your amazing effort put into this wonderful song!

TrackMFan 'HarwickRyanStudios' Go fourth and make art man! I consider fan videos an honor! Send me a link when its done!
FUCKING CRYING,THIS IS meh
meh:most beatiful song in da unverse
I called Shining Time Station my number 1 show when I was ~6. STS/TTTE's the only childhood show I ever dreamed about, at least to my memory.
God this makes me want to make my own Thomas song . This is amazing sad that it took me years to find it tho .
This is amazing
Great work! It reminds me a lot of Coldplay!
Could never get tired listening to this
It's so beautiful. 😊
Love this so much!
WOW. This sounds so beautiful and epic. If HiT entertainment is reading this (THEY AREN'T!) they should consider using this in the final episode of the series (If there ever is one, LoL)
I’ve been listing my top 10 favorite childhood shows and out of them all Thomas the Tank Engine would have to take the top spot at number one.
Wow. This is amazing! I'm probably going to make a music video of this if that's okay with you.
Love it!
Now we just need hit to see it too :)
This is dope af homie.
