Chris Reviews as for moffat it’s his first ‘girl who waited’. Then he did it again for young amy, then again to grown up Amy, then again for Rory, then again for old Amy, then again for old Rory, then again for the eleventh Doctor, then again for the Twelfth Doctor, then again for Bill.
"My dear Doctor: the path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the world inside your head and know that all things are possible. Hurry though, my love: my days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak. Godspeed, my lonely angel."
This piece of music is very special to me, thanks for posting it.I used to watch Doctor Who with my mom when Tennant was still the Doctor. This was the last episode we watched together before she passed away.I listened to this track a lot in the days after she died.
You legit just made me cry and my mum passed away when i was 13 in 2015 mate after a 5 year battle of ovarian cancer. I know exactly how you feel and can relate. All we can do is cherish the memories my friend !
Madame De Pompadour is my all time favourite official soundtrack song, its breathtaking and so haunting, I could listen to it over and over and never tire of it, the girl in the fireplace episode is my favourite doctor who episode ever, makes me so sad when i watch it, The Doctor and Reinette's relationship is beautiful and so right, Murray Gold is a LEGEND!!!
TenthDoctor Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like The Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever for one moment, accepts it.
Dee Dee why did I give her my screwdriva why would I do that cmon future me used to think about all the ways to save her why would I give her a screwdriva why would I do that oh oh ohh look at that I’m very good why what have you done... saved her’
The doctor: 'I'm always alright' *The Doctor puts on a brave face with a fake smile to hide his pain* Mickey: 'Come on Rose it's about time you showed me the rest of this place' *Both Mickey and Rose walk out of shot* *The Doctor turns his head a little to check he is clear to read the letter. 'My dear Doctor: the path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the world inside your head and know that all things are possible. Hurry though, my love: my days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak. God Speed my lonely angel.' He can finally show the truth written on his face, he can never go back to her, the regret running clearly across his eyes as he closes the letter. He stares up at the ceiling of the Tardis, no one will ever know of his past and how alone he really is.* *He stares deeply into the screen of the Tardis and sees the last of the fireplaces lit up. As the Doctor switches off the fireplace, a part of himself is also shut off as if he is leaving a sad memory of himself behind.*
just picturing the doctor standing in his T.A.R.D.I.S, holding her letter and trying so very hard not to cry in front of Rose. ohhh the feels. and when she waited to see the stars... ohhh
@@julianakarkkainen9704 I think what she meant by don't is when David tennant's doctor says don't in midnight and she's just referencing that moment just to make this moment more poetically tragically beautiful but that's just my opinion :/ 😊

Who lost his father his auntie and his uncle too I lose everything and everyone sometimes I think my life is to much like the doctor’s it’s like a curse
reishyodalephnun memchetmemalephheywawnun that’s sad but the doctor has lived a VERY long time and well he changes from someone to another which is scary as hell and then he witness his friends die and keeps living on having to hide his emotions sometimes
I remember watching this for the first time when I was 9...I did not fully understand the meaning of this scene back then...but now I know...to regret the things you did not do...all of those missed opportunities that pass you by as you age until you are an older version of that same little boy. Now at 26 I truly understand this theme, it was playing in my head when my grandpa died and I always wished that I had spent a bit more time with him as he was truly one of the kindest souls I have ever known. If you are reading this, chances are you are either feeling depressed or nihilistic/down...just remember there is always light at the end of the tunnel and there are people who care about and love you even if they are not who you expect. Do not give into despair, if a random guy on the web like me cares...then other people care. Remember there is always a light forward so tread courageously gents, make this world better in your own way. See you on the other side some day. Take care, Sam.
I acutely remember listening to this on the night of Matt Smith's final episode. Hell, I even lit a TARDIS blue candle in memory of his Doctor. The show was such a big part of my life and I'm honestly quite sad that I fell out of the fandom. Capaldi lost me around his second season, and I haven't even managed to watch Jodie yet. Matt and David will always be my Doctors because I followed them the most. And this song brings back all the good memories those two brought. :')
Capaldi was still good, the writting wasn't as great in my opinion but it was good and the relationship between him the companions were nice. With Jodi, she's a great actress and fits the role perfectly but she suffered from the writting. It lacked the magic we felt at the beginning of the show. I even struggled to finish her last season =/
Murray Gold is absurdly gifted. He is the heart and soul of Doctor Who. The atmosphere of this episode in particular might be his best. It’s impossible to call a beat out of someone with such an unbelievable batting average, but that last scene with the letter that ends with the painting and the lonely space ship with this original tune for this story in particular, that is absolute perfection.
the writers of doctor who are brilliant. They have the ability to make a scientifically accurate show that is epic, emotional, inspirational, and suspenseful. And all that packed into a thrilling sifi show... Brilliance at its finest.
Woffi Waffles actually, I am familiar with many theories in theoretical physics, and when the doctor is explaining something, he isn't usually babbling randomly. Usually when the doctor is explaining some advanced piece of technology, he is using modern theoretical physics. Unless he is explaining how time works, in which case, nobody on earth currently knows how time works, so he can't explain that to people. So its just a timey wimey sort of thing...
james wasda True, but as you said; they are often based on theories. What I meant earlier was that they often include new kinds of materials that don't exist, as far as we know. A lot of the stuff the Doctor says does make sense if you think about it, but the thing that is usually lacking is the technology or the materials. But since they are often just theories, they have not yet been scientifically proven, if it even is possible to prove them today, if you know what I mean...
The thing about a theory, is that it is only a hypothesis unless there is something to back it up. For instance, many of the things that are in doctor who have been shown as possible using different forms of mathematics. Currently, earth's theoretical physicists are far ahead of the engineering capabilities of today. If it were possible to test what is proven mathematically, then we would have endless technology.
james wasda Yes. But what I am trying to say is that Doctor Who is fiction, so a lot of the technology is at least not yet, if ever, available. I'm not saying that all of it is made up, no, I am simply stating that many of the theories have not yet been proven.
(PLAY THIS MUSIC WHILE YOU READ): The only thing missing from David Tennant's farewell. After the book signing, I would have had the Tardis materialize in a cemetery in the foreground blurred with a large mausoleum with the name POMPADOUR in focus. It is a snowy winter day, snow is falling, and the ground is covered with a couple inches. We see the TARDIS in the foreground partly off camera to the right and we hear the familiar door creek as it opens. The shot is of David over his left shoulder from behind him at POV level while the camera moves with him toward the tomb. As he walks slowly to this large structure with this music playing (we see the cut scene back to Rose, "why her?") , and ascends up the stairs. (0:40) Closeup of his hand moving to rest on the gate, then side profile shot of David, surprised, as he finds gate unlocked. He pushes it open cautiously with his stern brow looking to see if everyone is there. We hear her voice for the first time. "Doctor!" David enters. We see flashbacks of Reinette as a young child, an adult, and a her final "no" to the Doctor. Then slow dolley down shot of the coffins and oil-lamp sconces simulating David's POV descending into the tomb. Cut to a scene inside the mausoleum as David descends the stairs slowly toward us starting to show discomfort. Oil lamp sconces line the walls down the stairs. Various coffins and oil-lamp sconces line the side of the main floor as well but David has his eyes forward as he seems to know where he is going. We would hear her voiceover as he descends "It is time." "And here you are, my lonely angel, on the slow path with me" with reverberation as if she were speaking in the mausoleum. (1:30) Shot from behind and below eye level of the casket and zooms out to show tall candles burning brightly on both sides of a beautiful, ornate coffin stretching from left to right. David reaches the casket. Shot of the casket face and we see the name Reinette Poisson De Pompadour and the date of her life, Shot close-up of David's face (sad) and then looking off to remember: Music switches to the happier version of this theme (when David meets Reinette as adult and she kisses him) we would see the scene as where he remembers Reinette telling him being a lonely boy/man and ""Dance with Me!" "It's time for a Timelord to learn how to dance." Shot back to David looking down at his hand. Then we see another hand, hers, join his. We would have seen a new scene where he dances with her and seeing the look on his face and hers that they were both happy (perhaps with an enhanced music score from Murray Gold, orchestral style, angelic voices. Come on David, Sophia, Steven, Murray, please film this! (perhaps for a Children in Need special) (2:30) The scene would have concluded with this music again with David pulling something out of his longcoat that we can't really make out, shows him winding it and placing on the grave. We see a close-up of his face speaking in French : "Je voudrais pouvoir vous ai montré les étoiles." with tears welling in his eyes. His hand on the stone next to her name and the object which is not quite in focus but we can start to make it out then we see his hand withdrawn slowly. "Oh Doctor, my lonely Doctor. Farewell my love." (cut to 3:00 in this song, The final scene (before the cut back to Donna's wedding) would have ended with a shot inside the tomb of the gated outside door with snow falling with the doctor now gone to a pan down, zoom to reveal the object is a snow globe with a couple looking very much like them (french maiden and thin man in a striped suit) dancing. The camera zooms slowly to their smiling faces turning in the globe with the snow falling in the globe while you hear the TARDIS dematerializing in the background. The music ends to the shot of the the maiden's face as comes to a stop and the smile then fade out. I know that Steven Moffat, David, Sophia, Murray, etc. will probably never read this but I hope you as the fan enjoyed this as much as I did visualizing it. I would have had a hard time focusing through a wall of tears in my eyes but I would have always been warmed with joy and love to the scene of them dancing in time, no words, just music, their touch, and pure joy.

I hope if anyone can make your dream a reality, it's them. God bless, and thank you for this beautiful, frame-by-frame story for us to enjoy!
@@anastasiaraelajynn Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed. I really loved the Eccleston-Tennant-Piper years and this story was something special. I return to read it now and then and it never gets stale. I could easily see David and Sophia playing the new scenes so naturally.
I cry when ever i hear this music because I remember those amazing Friday nights every week watching this show with my dad. Though we never do that any more and I haven't seen any of this fantastic acting for year about a year or so. This is definitely the best television show I have ever seen and the episode that this music goes along to is an unbeatable piece of art. Its amazing. Truly amazing
I think it pretty well captures the pain of being the Doctor. The fact that not only is this situation sad, but that he feels like he should have expected it because this is far from the first time. He should have known before making a promise he couldn't keep, and now he just has to keep living this life where no matter where he goes, eventually he always ends up alone again
One of the best ever episodes of DW It is a brilliant consept that doesn't get seen enough in certain shows or movies. My favourite TV show and this is why.
This piece captures the life of Reinette so well. The beginning starts out slow, with the piano's melody being something a child could play. As the piece goes on, it gets more and more intricate; different octaves, more instruments, advanced melodies, until that one moment, where a climax belongs (2:08), where instead of happiness, we're treated to the melody retreating. This song doesn't end, it dies, waiting for the return of someone that will never come.
This episode is definitely one of my favorites. The one episode romance thing usually doesn't work, but Steven Moffat somehow overcame that and made it awesome. Sad, yes, but also awesome. I'm actually looking forwards to him taking over Doctor Who. :D And the music, gosh, it's so pretty and sad...love it.
The Girl in the Fireplace is my most favorite episode of all the episodes of the revived series of Doctor Who. Brilliant episode. I was really moved by the ending. The music was beautiful especially at the end when The Doctor learns Reinette passed away. Girl in the Fireplace was the episode that made David Tennant my favorite Doctor.
Goes to show how music can make or break a TV programme. This case it certainly makes it. Doctor Who would be boring without Murray Gold's fabulous music
Easily my favorite episode theme. This is the type of Doctor Who music that brings me to another world. This piece gives me the vibe of a fairy tale with a tragic end…
Murray Gold is a brilliant composer. Every time I hear this I think the chord is going to resolve into this happy major chord, but he stumps my expectations. That's the sign of a good composer. Compose the unpredictable.
For me,this also brings to mind Princess Diana, it has the same haunting sadness which epitomised so much of her life. I'd love to see someone do a collage of her photos with this as the backing track.
My dear Doctor. The path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the world inside your head, and know that all things are possible. Hurry though, my love. My days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak. God speed, my lonely angel.
doctor who would probably never make something as sad as this episode's ending again. apart from angles of Manhattan, the ending made me cry for like a year
we played this at my grandad's funeral. we all cried because it was a beautiful piece of music that went with the well lived, beautiful, wonderful man. He tought me that nothing is impossible, only improbable. Great music.
It's probably one I the saddest moments I've ever seen. There is a real feeling between Madame de pompadour and the doctor. What can we do but let history run its course.
I love this episode. Just shows how much attention the authors pay to the real history. Like how it rains at the end of the episode. In reality, Louis XV said "The marquise won't have good weather for her journey." because she was highly criticized for her political influence. I just loved how they showed this with the rain at her final journey.
listening to this makes me want to cry! its so haunting and beautiful, even for those who listen without knowing the episode (the end when he came for her and she had passed away, and then when he read the letter and rose left him alone had me sobbing every time i watch it) this score is so beautifully sad that it would effect everyone. the music of this show really is brilliant.
The end of this episode was so incredibly heart breaking. Had me sobbing. This playing in the background made it a million times more sad. I truly think Reinette deserved the Doctor more than any of the other minor supporting characters he came across. :')
Oh god, this episode made me cry. This series is truly a masterpiece

This episode was just a ingenious. I really could recommend this as a separate "movie". Amazing episode, so many emotions, great story telling, great acting, I can't say a bad word about it. PERFECT!
So I love this tune -- probably my all-time favorite score, from my all-time favorite episode -- but, upon re-listen, it is reminiscent of the Edward Scissorhands Ice Dance theme. Maybe not quite to lawsuit closeness; definitely more than a casual similarity.
I love the use of those little, high-pitched glockenspiel notes at the end. It has that little, childlike appeal, reminding you of how they met when she was just a little girl. Her fireplace man. Also, it's heart-wrenching in context.
The Girl in the Fireplace is a brilliant episode. Possibly the best of the bunch. One reason is definately because of this piece, which is just unutterably beautiful.
I have never cried while watching Doctor Who, I felt sad and was screaming on the inside, but never shed a tear. Listening to this music, however, made me cry. Such a beautiful piece that makes me want to wait for the Doctor, as long as it takes.
This is why I love Murray Gold. As well as some of the brilliant, intricate music he wrote for Series 6, he can also make you feel all sorts of emotions with really simple pieces like this. All this is the same chord progression repeated over and over with what's playing above just changing everytime but at the same time, it's just as clever as anything else he's written. Sorry for the slightly cheesy comment, Murray Gold's music just gives me a lot of feelings.
"One must tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel"
@@JohnnyLCob madam de pompadour??
The original Girl Who Waited....
that would be Sarah Jane Smith, she was left by the fourth doctor and then waited for a few decades
What about Susan Foreman, she waited longer than anybody else and is still waiting
Both are good points
... by the same writer ! Of course Steven Moffat is the responsable for the best parts of the show ever !...
Chris Reviews as for moffat it’s his first ‘girl who waited’. Then he did it again for young amy, then again to grown up Amy, then again for Rory, then again for old Amy, then again for old Rory, then again for the eleventh Doctor, then again for the Twelfth Doctor, then again for Bill.
"This is my lover, the King of France."
"Yeah? Well I'm the Lord of Time."
"I must travel the slow path."
10 years ago Steven Moffat broke my heart with a story that sums up life's losses and missed opportunities.
I really wish he brought back these kinds of storylines, he obviously had it in him... now it's all the moon's an egg tier storylines :/
+cryptlord 99 That's not a Moffat episode
+Oswin Pond (John Smith) True! I take that one back, though I still think a touch darker storyline would be better!
How can you say that after serie 9 ! It was probably the darkest of the entiere show! :p
Series 8 was pretty dark too. (The final... really creepy with the deads)
Series 5 6 and 7 were light but it's normal, they are fairy tails ^^

I like to think that when 10 was doing his farewell tour in The End of Time he visited Reinette on last time on her deathbed.
I’m a 23 year old man. Every time I listen to the score, i immediately start weeping like a child.
"You're not keeping the horse... I let you keep micky!!!!1"

It’s impossible to call a beat out of someone with such an unbelievable batting average, but that last scene with the letter that ends with the painting and the lonely space ship with this original tune for this story in particular, that is absolute perfection.
In my opinion, this is for sure the most emotional/atmospheric tune he’s ever composed. I also think he nailed the soundtrack on Heaven Sent.

Various coffins and oil-lamp sconces line the side of the main floor as well but David has his eyes forward as he seems to know where he is going. We would hear her voiceover as he descends "It is time." "And here you are, my lonely angel, on the slow path with me" with reverberation as if she were speaking in the mausoleum. (1:30) Shot from behind and below eye level of the casket and zooms out to show tall candles burning brightly on both sides of a beautiful, ornate coffin stretching from left to right. David reaches the casket. Shot of the casket face and we see the name Reinette Poisson De Pompadour and the date of her life, Shot close-up of David's face (sad) and then looking off to remember: Music switches to the happier version of this theme (when David meets Reinette as adult and she kisses him) we would see the scene as where he remembers Reinette telling him being a lonely boy/man and ""Dance with Me!" "It's time for a Timelord to learn how to dance." Shot back to David looking down at his hand. Then we see another hand, hers, join his. We would have seen a new scene where he dances with her and seeing the look on his face and hers that they were both happy (perhaps with an enhanced music score from Murray Gold, orchestral style, angelic voices. Come on David, Sophia, Steven, Murray, please film this! (perhaps for a Children in Need special)
(2:30) The scene would have concluded with this music again with David pulling something out of his longcoat that we can't really make out, shows him winding it and placing on the grave. We see a close-up of his face speaking in French : "Je voudrais pouvoir vous ai montré les étoiles." with tears welling in his eyes. His hand on the stone next to her name and the object which is not quite in focus but we can start to make it out then we see his hand withdrawn slowly. "Oh Doctor, my lonely Doctor. Farewell my love."
(cut to 3:00 in this song, The final scene (before the cut back to Donna's wedding) would have ended with a shot inside the tomb of the gated outside door with snow falling with the doctor now gone to a pan down, zoom to reveal the object is a snow globe with a couple looking very much like them (french maiden and thin man in a striped suit) dancing. The camera zooms slowly to their smiling faces turning in the globe with the snow falling in the globe while you hear the TARDIS dematerializing in the background. The music ends to the shot of the the maiden's face as comes to a stop and the smile then fade out. I know that Steven Moffat, David, Sophia, Murray, etc. will probably never read this but I hope you as the fan enjoyed this as much as I did visualizing it. I would have had a hard time focusing through a wall of tears in my eyes but I would have always been warmed with joy and love to the scene of them dancing in time, no words, just music, their touch, and pure joy.

I love this idea so much!

It reminded me of your writing here. I hope if anyone can make your dream a reality, it's them. God bless, and thank you for this beautiful, frame-by-frame story for us to enjoy!
@@anastasiaraelajynn Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed. I really loved the Eccleston-Tennant-Piper years and this story was something special. I return to read it now and then and it never gets stale. I could easily see David and Sophia playing the new scenes so naturally.
Loved this ❤❤💯💯
@@wetalknonsense6036 thank you, I read every now and then. Would have loved to see it for real.
So gorgeous, so sad... that's Doctor Who :,(
My favourite strange music.. Telling me that our existence is so fragile...
I cry when ever i hear this music because I remember those amazing Friday nights every week watching this show with my dad. Though we never do that any more and I haven't seen any of this fantastic acting for year about a year or so.
This is definitely the best television show I have ever seen and the episode that this music goes along to is an unbeatable piece of art. Its amazing. Truly amazing
I bought a picture of the most famous Madame de Pompadour painting. Then I placed it next to a Doctor Who comic. The two are finally reunited. :,)
I think it pretty well captures the pain of being the Doctor. The fact that not only is this situation sad, but that he feels like he should have expected it because this is far from the first time. He should have known before making a promise he couldn't keep, and now he just has to keep living this life where no matter where he goes, eventually he always ends up alone again
this is honestly one of the most beautiful peace's of music I have ever heard
One of the best ever episodes of DW
It is a brilliant consept that doesn't get seen enough in certain shows or movies. My favourite TV show and this is why.
@@darthorion2002 10th David Tennant
@@darthorion2002 Hiya mate. It's Doctor who - the girl in the fireplace
This kinda makes me want to cry… I miss the era of Ten -sigh-
This piece captures the life of Reinette so well. The beginning starts out slow, with the piano's melody being something a child could play. As the piece goes on, it gets more and more intricate; different octaves, more instruments, advanced melodies, until that one moment, where a climax belongs (2:08), where instead of happiness, we're treated to the melody retreating. This song doesn't end, it dies, waiting for the return of someone that will never come.
A sign of a great piece of music, is that it makes me emotional even WITHOUT thinking about the episode itself
Planet of the Deaf same here
This episode is definitely one of my favorites.
The one episode romance thing usually doesn't work, but Steven Moffat somehow overcame that and made it awesome. Sad, yes, but also awesome. I'm actually looking forwards to him taking over Doctor Who. :D
And the music, gosh, it's so pretty and sad...love it.
Phoenix9109 I hope you had a blast watching the Moffat era
This is one of the sad saddest freaking songs I've ever heard. It kills me slowly every time....
The Girl in the Fireplace is my most favorite episode of all the episodes of the revived series of Doctor Who. Brilliant episode. I was really moved by the ending. The music was beautiful especially at the end when The Doctor learns Reinette passed away. Girl in the Fireplace was the episode that made David Tennant my favorite Doctor.
Goes to show how music can make or break a TV programme. This case it certainly makes it. Doctor Who would be boring without Murray Gold's fabulous music
Just goes to show
The Doctor can never just be happy
Happiness like life is fleeting. Appreciate what you have, it'll be gone soon.
Easily my favorite episode theme. This is the type of Doctor Who music that brings me to another world. This piece gives me the vibe of a fairy tale with a tragic end…
This and This is Gallifrey are my favourite pieces of music from Who
Hologram?
One of the best episodes imo
Cette musique est vraiment apaisante, elle est magnifique très bien rythmé un regale pour les oreilles. Je dirais même qu'elle les cœurs.
it literally just made me cry..
one of my all time favorite episodes and by far the most beautiful in my opinion.
Couldn't help but think of this track yesterday :'(
i love this its so childlike yet refined, like reinette herself it seems never to loose its charm even as it grows old
Someday, the Doctor needs to right this wrong, and return to her...
He cant, he would be crossing his own time line :P
Jakeasaur but there are no rules, time lord victorious!! :P
Kris Chaaun and look where that idea got him
Love this song, really touches the heart.
Murray Gold is a brilliant composer. Every time I hear this I think the chord is going to resolve into this happy major chord, but he stumps my expectations. That's the sign of a good composer. Compose the unpredictable.
For me,this also brings to mind Princess Diana, it has the same haunting sadness which epitomised so much of her life. I'd love to see someone do a collage of her photos with this as the backing track.
This song is honestly one of the most beautiful out there. Can't believe this video doesn't have a trillion views.
The doctor and the monsters seems you can not have one without the other
My dear Doctor. The path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the world inside your head, and know that all things are possible. Hurry though, my love. My days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak. God speed, my lonely angel.
One of two episodes when i was crying
doctor who would probably never make something as sad as this episode's ending again. apart from angles of Manhattan, the ending made me cry for like a year
we played this at my grandad's funeral. we all cried because it was a beautiful piece of music that went with the well lived, beautiful, wonderful man. He tought me that nothing is impossible, only improbable. Great music.
One of the saddest episodes of Doctor Who!
the ending is the best, when the harmonies drop out or down in dynamics, leaving just the music box sound.
It's been fourteen years since this aired -- almost to the day -- and I still think it's the single greatest on-screen Who story of all time.
This is so beautiful. Those piano notes harmonizing with the melody really seem to make my heart stop.
It's probably one I the saddest moments I've ever seen. There is a real feeling between Madame de pompadour and the doctor. What can we do but let history run its course.
Such a good episode. I loved the character of Madame De Pompadour, she was witty and really clever. She waited for her chance to see the stars.
I love this episode. Just shows how much attention the authors pay to the real history. Like how it rains at the end of the episode. In reality, Louis XV said "The marquise won't have good weather for her journey." because she was highly criticized for her political influence. I just loved how they showed this with the rain at her final journey.
listening to this makes me want to cry! its so haunting and beautiful, even for those who listen without knowing the episode (the end when he came for her and she had passed away, and then when he read the letter and rose left him alone had me sobbing every time i watch it) this score is so beautifully sad that it would effect everyone. the music of this show really is brilliant.
The end of this episode was so incredibly heart breaking. Had me sobbing. This playing in the background made it a million times more sad.
I truly think Reinette deserved the Doctor more than any of the other minor supporting characters he came across. :')
Murray Gold, CBE? Deserved yet? So many hearts and so many stories? Please knight this man.
He is due.
Oh god, this episode made me cry. This series is truly a masterpiece
This episode was just a ingenious. I really could recommend this as a separate "movie".
Amazing episode, so many emotions, great story telling, great acting, I can't say a bad word about it. PERFECT!
I know this isn't a line from the episode but...
"I don't wanna go"
What an amazing piece of music
So I love this tune -- probably my all-time favorite score, from my all-time favorite episode -- but, upon re-listen, it is reminiscent of the Edward Scissorhands Ice Dance theme. Maybe not quite to lawsuit closeness; definitely more than a casual similarity.
Woah.... my emotion from happiness just plumeted down like a sack of bricks hitting a person. The deep feeling of sadness. 😭😢😢😢😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓
This is one of my favrouite pecies of music and favrouite episode!
Best episode I've seen. I cried at the end. Love the semplicity of the ending
This tune puts tears in my eyes every single time I listen to it its very sentimental to me
I love the use of those little, high-pitched glockenspiel notes at the end. It has that little, childlike appeal, reminding you of how they met when she was just a little girl. Her fireplace man.
Also, it's heart-wrenching in context.
Such beautiful music for a perfectly beautiful episode. Truly moving.
Beraber izledik Sarı.... Şimdi sadece bir melodi var kulağımda Ağlatan ve acıtan
I'm sitting down,trying to play along to this on my cello,crying my eyes out. This is too beautiful.
This always gives me chills, the end of that episode makes me so sad for the Doctor.
This makes me want to cry. Not an easy thing to do, that.
Really sad but happy episode of Doctor Who...
I wish I could unsee this episode and fall in love with its infinite beauty all over again.
"I'm always alright."
it just shows how much music has a impact in doctor who i get quite emotion everytime i listen to this it is beautiful
The Girl in the Fireplace is a brilliant episode. Possibly the best of the bunch. One reason is definately because of this piece, which is just unutterably beautiful.
This is just...beautiful. Definatley one of or possibly my favourite pieces.
I have never cried while watching Doctor Who, I felt sad and was screaming on the inside, but never shed a tear. Listening to this music, however, made me cry. Such a beautiful piece that makes me want to wait for the Doctor, as long as it takes.
This is why I love Murray Gold. As well as some of the brilliant, intricate music he wrote for Series 6, he can also make you feel all sorts of emotions with really simple pieces like this. All this is the same chord progression repeated over and over with what's playing above just changing everytime but at the same time, it's just as clever as anything else he's written.
Sorry for the slightly cheesy comment, Murray Gold's music just gives me a lot of feelings.
I absolutely love this song. Beautiful song for a marvelous episode. I just love this episode. It can't get enough praise.
I think both of them are absolutely amazing and equally make the show the success it is
This song always makes me cry. It's beautiful.
put it on a loop every day so you become so sad
One song really similar to this is called 'Up Up Up the Chimney' from a game called Little Inferno.
And here I am again, listening to this video...and crying...
Listen to this whilst on rainymood. Makes it even more beautiful.
