You should upload a video of you playing it. There are a couple of talented musicians on YT that have covered soap opera themes. Lance Jackson plays 50s/60s soap themes on the organ and they sound identical to the originals.
Started watching AMC in the early 80s as a kid with mom. I loved this original theme and reading the names of the characters just now I remembered them all. These scenes at the end with no dialogue were great and made you feel like Pine Valley was real lol
Always a great day when they had time for the 0:53 to 1:10 music! Makes you said that the episode is over, but luckily, crazy One Life to Live is next!!
you had fun plating at recess...you came in for lunch....then it was story time....you got your blue bed to sleep on the lights went out and you can hear this theme song playing in the teachers office and the quiet sets in.....you look around at the other kids sleep and you can still hear the laughter and playing you did while you're dozing off. sweet dreams... smh...memories just makes you feel good inside.
Beautiful theme. Was this from an original airing? Seems odd the network would not use the time to promote something--at least letting viewers know to stay tuned for their next program, One Life to Live
The original theme is nice, but I’ll be honest, the 1990-1994 theme will always be the AMC theme to me. The original theme seems too “1950s prior”. Maybe if they jazzed it up! It just doesn’t age well...especially in the 1980s.
Thanks, I listen to this whenever I start to miss my mom.
Taught myself how to play this song on my violin since I was a kid. Just turned 41 now, and still play.

Thanks for sharing this. It's rare to find the full song with the fluted center and no voice over. Such a pretty song. Sigh. Memories.
I agree; I was blessed to purchase the music about two years ago.
I always loved when AMC did this. It was like one last bonus scene for the day/week. Even if we couldn't hear what they were saying.
This will always be the theme for me.
I'm 44 but 7 again when I hear this. ❤
Oh,yes!!

I miss those days.
Lol
I cry when I hear this. I’m crying as I’m typing this..😢😭
Why?
@@kennethdemuchest3985 bad childhood memories. My mom use to goto work after this show was over
Sorry. When my father was living on his vacation days. He would watch this soap opera. I always did love the ending theme song.
@@kennethdemuchest3985 it’s like someone kicking you in the stomach
That is one LARGE cast!!
Back in the day when the soaps had a decent budget.

I believe the original All My Children theme has the same name as the show!
We love you Susan Lucci who doesn't ♥️
#Childhood!
This would make a good theme for a western.
I remember this storyline hecause i strted watching when Travis Montgomery arrived in Pine Valley
Interesting. Didn't know Tom Verica was on All My Children.

I have a clean copy of the theme and dubbed it in.
The original audio track had a promo for "I Married Dora" and Monday Night Football. I think also Good Morning America.
No, I mis-remembered. It was I Married Dora and GMA, no MNF. Also a teaser for OLTL and the ABC news brief.
Thanks for the Upload and !! Xd

I like the original and was shocked when they changed it. The new themes were nice too. Y&R never changed there’s. AMC did
