The Guiding Light (1977) - Closing Theme (Extended Version)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Here’s a theme that mostly everybody recognizes since it debuted in 1977 (replacing the vocal opera version from 1975), It’s the “Ritournelle” closing theme from The beloved Guiding Light used from 1975 until 1981 (This version debuted in 1977). I decided to extend it because that’s how I first heard it when I was watching a GL closing from 1981 with a revolving Emmy. This theme came completely clean without any editing, The only thing I did was extend the theme by merging it thrice (three times) without cutting or affecting the ending of the theme.

What do you think of this theme?
Great excellent theme!
Awesome!
love this one and the opera one as well
Between this and "Hold on to Love" for the best GL theme, It's a tie!
Haunting, eerie, sad, evoking the realization how quickly time passes. But so beautiful, thank you Edwyn.
What a nice piece; I had forgotten this. I remember the era when this theme was replaced by another on the CBS show. I had become engrossed with GL in the late 70s. I still remember when Diane Ballard was suddenly killed shortly after revealing all to Alan and putting him under her thumb. Then, in the 1980s the show would shift its focus to young characters (mostly, not completely). It never recaptured the quality that it had when I first got "involved". Mind you, I enjoyed some stuff--- the Annabelle/doll/Barbados adventure, and India trying to destroy Alex and Philip. :)
In the 1980s I watched a few daytime serials (my teen and college days--- thank goodness for the VCR), and this tune here was the prettiest melody a show could have had. There is just something so lovely and tranquil here, that harp and those strings plus the flute. Wistful and warm. Everything else pales in comparison.
I miss the sweetest woman I ever knew when I hear this...my grandmother. sigh. The good old days.
One of the loveliest soap-opera themes ever written.
I had forgot all about this theme because I haven't heard it in many years. Thankx

Thank you so much for doing this! I ran across the compilations of the Guiding Light themes on here and found this to be my favorite, reminding me of when I was a child watching with my mom. I am sentimental so it usually makes me tear up. Again, thank you!
My earliest memory of soap theme songs and GL!
This reminds me of my mom and coming home from school in the mid 70s and early 80s
This theme with the revolving Emmy in 1981 was my favorite soap opera closing theme of all time.
great theme song
And now...The Guiding Light...This portion is presented by Tide, Tide gets out the dirt kids get into...and by Crisco Oil, for fried foods with no greasy taste, and for light tasting salads.
A beautiful piece of music. Has always been one of my favorites.

Beautiful warm and touching !!!!!!!
How far down the rabbit hole of music of today we have sunk too
Nowthey call them artists
Beautiful piece of music. Takes me bag to my childhood.
For me, this isn't so much a theme as it is a meditation! I remember it vividly and fondly from "back in the day"
This is the theme I loved when I would watch with my family. Just a great time period. The golden age of this classic series. Way before it became the Reva hillbilly show.
Very soothing and beautiful theme song
I truly ENVY people who can write, play, and record such beautiful, beautiful pieces of music!!! Wonderful!!!!!
The best theme GL ever had!

In 1979, I was living in New Orleans; when the ending theme came on, what I remember is that *THE JOKER'S WILD* came next on WWL, Channel 4.
makes me think of Diane Ballard.
1989-1995
The Guiding Light, this portion had been presented by Dawn, the dishwashing liquid that takes grease out of your way.. by Squeezably Soft Charmin Bathroom Tisse and by Secret, the anti perspirant that's strong enough for a man but made for a woman.
well. I was born in 1981. so the theme i remember is the my guiding light version from 83 to 85. but love all these themes. I also listen to the 1940s radio episodes online.
Bob, any suggestions on where I can specifically go to find GL radio episodes? Thanks,
Interesting, the harp sounds more up front in this original version compared with the variation in use by 1980 (where it’s further back in the mix and blended with the vibraphone and synth).
Nice work
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for including a link for mp3. Unfortunately I’m not very tech savvy :( I was able to download this onto my phone by saving it into a file but does anyone know how I can get it onto my music so I can add to a playlist?
Don't get me wrong I like the extended version with forest background which is what I remember as a little child. However the sound quality is much better with this one.😁
This is spa music.
Hey Edwyn, fantastic job....as always...Oh by the way, will you be doing any more of those newsbreaks from the S.A.U?...I'm starting to miss those, and here's another idea for you to consider doing...In the early days of television (before all local and network stations went to 24 hours), local stations did sign-offs to end their broadcast day, followed by the National Anthem, and I was thinking that you can do one those local station sign-offs from the S.A.U.
I'm pretty sure that local TV stations in in the S.A.U had done these back in the day...you can find these local TV sign-offs on youtube for inspiration.
Yes indeed. Each of the S.A.U. stations in Halfurd that aired the US network’s programming had a sign-off identification. The HALB (Halfurdish Association of Local Broadcasting) also was a part owner of the three local stations, so the company was also mentioned in the sign offs.
Isn't there another variation with a woman vocalizing? Do you have that by chance?
I do have that vocalized version but that will be posted very soon!
@@EdwynNSanchez Excellent! Thank you!
great theme song
