Edward, Henry, and Toby are my three favorite main characters ever in Thomas the Tank Engine franchise and now they got replace by this new females Engine that I care about about them as much than Edward, Henry and Toby
Edward always has that dad vibes, a humble, kind, and caring dad, who doesn't care what the others said about him, even a new Engine arrive on Sodor, Sir Topham Hatts knows that Edward will help them.
You can literally hear Edward’s personality through the music The music is very relaxed yet upbeat, showing the content and kindness Edward has. He’s an elderly engine as you can tell from the soft gentle puffs but you can tell he’s still going strong with the determined-sounding tone Mike and Junior are absolute geniuses and this cover just shows….
AMAZIN' WORK ON SUCH A SPECTACULARLY SPECTACULAR JOB ON THIS OFFICIALLY AWESOMER THAN AWESOME FUN-FILLED PERFORMANCE; ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE IT CERTAINLY DOES ACTUALLY SEEM TO ABSOLUTELY CAPTURE EDWARD THE BLUE ENGINE'S OWN OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL COMPLETELY COMPLETE CLASSIC ERA'S COMPLETE SEASONS 1-3 THEME PERFECTLY!
Fun fact: Edward's theme was one of the 3 themes composed for the intro song this was confirmed by Mike o donald himself (might have spelled his name wrong) so cool! (From what I remember if you scroll through the comments of his videos on his own RUclips channel he confirmed it also Toby's theme was one of the themes as well!)
I feel like Edward is an underrated character. He is often marginalized by the other engines for his old age, but he doesn't even look that old (then again it could just be those new coats of paint the engines get). He was treated like a main character for the first two seasons, then as years went by, he started appearing less and less, even though he is number 2 on the standard gauge line. I didn't realize until very recently that Edward was not included in TATMR. Poor Edward :(
I think of all the themes Edward's was the hardest to find a good version of on RUclips. I'm not sure why, maybe you know having done it but ive never heard one that sounded RIGHT. Until this. This was PERFECT. Exactly what i always wanted from my favorite them for my favorite childhood character.
Thanks Juanito! Edward is tough because his theme changed pretty significantly as the seasons went on so I tried to incorporate a bit of each 😂 Glad you enjoyed it :)
Revisiting this one again... One of the things I love about this cover (and his theme from the second season) is the key change to A major. I don’t know why, but it makes it sound so much more triumphant and heroic (makes sense given how it’s featured in episodes like Edward’s Exploit). Edward’s theme is just so nice to listen to 😊
One of my favorite characters, Edward's theme is beautiful and his personality makes puts him aside from the other engines He's always determined to do his jobs and in one episode, he even keeps his condition away from the controller just so he can keep himself working on the railway Not to mention, that he is one the first engines on the railway Keep up the great work 😄😄😄
Wow, absolutely amazing work sir! I love how you didn’t just recreate the Season 1 variant and utilized the more elaborate S2 variant. Your Thomas videos seem to be doing well. Keep up the great work dude!
Ahhh thank you for noticing!!! I realized in researching & arranging this theme that I had mashed like 4 versions of his theme in my head together 😆 I think the S1 theme is the most rhythmically driven which is a great base but the later seasons have so many of the iconic harmonies & accents. Too hard to choose... so I did it all!
Excellent orchestrated version of Edward's theme! Fantastic that you did both his season 1 and season 2 themes in one video. Yes, his season 1 and season 2 themes are different from each other and that's shown in this video.
"So many requests" because as Unlucky Tug explains, Edward is an awesome character. I love how he is such a goody-goody but he completely avoids it making him come across as a dickhead.
This is just so beautiful! You nailed it. Love the harmonizing clarinet and soprano sax. I think the two instruments blend nicely but you can also differentiate them, and it gives the harmony line really nice clarity that I feel the original theme kind of lacks. Love the flute and piccolo joining in for the grand ending!!
Wheels spinning, axels aching, belittled by the bigger engines, and straining more and more, the old engine presses on. Just shows that even with most forces against him, Edward perseveres!
Fantastic! I also like how a Cow-Bell happens to be one of the instruments; lol just makes me think of Henry & Gordon teasing Edward about cows well... at least till their own comeuppance :D
Yay Grandpa Edward!! He's one of the characters I'd love to hug. I want to hug this old engine! Hemay be old, but he's kinda and wise and you can always depend on him.
I love how you've combined the two different tunes from the series to make this. This is beautiful- Edward's theme is one of my favourite pieces of music and you've done it justice. Well done😀
As a little 5yo kid, Edward made me think of a 14yo middle son in a busy family (or second eldest). Asks for nothing. Works hard. Expects nothing in return, he just does what he needs to do, and does his best to look after his family members and help them too. Does the laundry for mom so she can rest her feet, which makes him happy seeing his mom have a break. Wise beyond his years and more grounded than most, but he doesn't think that way - he just focuses on being a good person. Sadly, whenever i think of music from the show, i don't always recall Edward's song, but maybe because it's so soothing. Everytime i hear it again, it's like get to listen to it like it's the first time again! Blissful and peaceful, all at once. The internet was made to share amazing videos like this. Thank you.
Edward is a wise and kind old engine and when he isn’t hauling fight cars Edward is good at being back engine when engines need help getting up top of Gordon’s hill when they have heavy loads
Most excellent! I'd be interested to see Edward's theme done in the more ominous version from "Edward's Exploit" and also it's appearance in "Ghost Train".
A year late posting this but great work as always. Love, love this one so much. Edward was always my favorite. Thank you for doing his theme justice by creating an orchestra version of the Season 2 variation. You made a master piece even more priceless.
Ahh FluteGirl thank you for listening!! Seriously the Post theme is INCREDIBLE. I plan on doing that one but in the process of finding a French Horn player to collab with on those horrifyingly high notes 😂 stay tuned!
Can we all agree that Edward is the best character in all of Thomas and friends history, he maybe old but he is a still an important character to the railway series books 📚 and the show as well, let’s not forget about this important character and long live R Wiburt Audrey for making on the best characters in story and television 📺 history!!!!
happy ANNIVERSARY Edward, the blue engine , you are a USEFUL engine!!!! said the fat controller Sir topham Hatt, good job mate!!! FELICITATIONS- Said his driver, guest driver the history teacher from the school at grovans gate. all the engines whistled loudly to congratulate EDWARD! happy anniversary shouted Mia, three cheers- rebecca, your great fOR old Iron- well always great to have you my friend- James, you work hard and always show mostly have helped me to our friendship- GORDON- HENRY- A FRIEND TO US ALL! yourr always a gem to work with- ay laddie yourr aa good sir! -donald and douglas, emily: always great to work with you amigo, Thomas:your always showing me new things and to work hard, youve taught me alot since we me. YOUR REALLY USEFUL!
WOW, I just discovered this cover and it is great! I haven't heard such a lovely live orchestral-style cover. Good work, and keep it up! James or Toby's theme would be nice for future videos.
wow i love this rendition its amazing well done could you do Donald and Douglass next or bill and Ben that would be amazing look forward to your next piece you do
I love how you accented all the small embellishments, trills included. And the colours! The rhythmic section was quite subtle, a less attentive arranger could have used the tambourine and call it done. In general I loved how you integrated all those instruments into a lively but refined ensemble. P.S. and don't think I didn't notice the colour of your shirt 😜
I'm happy you noticed all the little ornaments idraote! Haha many hours were spent trying to transcribe those by ear from the episodes I found 🤣 happy you like the shirt choices ^_^
My favorite theme in the entire series has to be The Flying Kipper or just Henry's theme in general, I would love to see one of them in the future to be honest! Great work keep it up dude!
So much joy. I have to go watch that episode now... followed by the Edward and James episode... Uh oh. I can sense a theme of Thomas videos. Fantastic work! XOXOXO
Nice one, InstrumentManiac!! I guess Edward's triumphant theme is the best Edward the Blue Engine theme for me, I prefer Edward's theme more in Edward's Exploit.
Old iron, but wise, kind, friendly, and has a lot of determination.
⭐️
*Hearing this relaxing cover fills me with Determination.
And the First Character ever created by Wilbert Awdry for the Books and Shows
But now edward and henry has replace by Nia and rebbeca
Edward, Henry, and Toby are my three favorite main characters ever in Thomas the Tank Engine franchise and now they got replace by this new females Engine that I care about about them as much than Edward, Henry and Toby
@@ironhideprimal6300 yes... And no one Agree about it
I hope they bring back edward and henry

No TTTE fan can hate Edward. He's the best.
Fact he is my favorite
@@BesterSylvester Same here mate
God of Hyperdeath and no Kenyan stereotype can ever replace him
@@Woodenrailwayoliver20 That's deep
Absolutely true! Edward is like my 3rd - 5th fav character!
Edward has the most 'heartwarming' theme of the original bunch to me. It's so sweet and calming like he is.
Edwards theme has been my favourite since I was a child, I thank an extraordinarily beautiful man for bringing thomas to life
Thanks for listening Christopher!
Fun fact: Edward's theme was one of the 3 themes composed for the intro song this was confirmed by Mike o donald himself (might have spelled his name wrong) so cool! (From what I remember if you scroll through the comments of his videos on his own RUclips channel he confirmed it also Toby's theme was one of the themes as well!)

Me neither about Magic Railroad, despite having watched it billions of times as a kid.
I have a head cannon that Edward took the fat controller on vacation and that's why Edwards not present
I think of all the themes Edward's was the hardest to find a good version of on RUclips. I'm not sure why, maybe you know having done it but ive never heard one that sounded RIGHT. Until this. This was PERFECT. Exactly what i always wanted from my favorite them for my favorite childhood character.
Thanks Juanito! Edward is tough because his theme changed pretty significantly as the seasons went on so I tried to incorporate a bit of each 😂 Glad you enjoyed it :)
Strength, and endurance through experience.
Those words perfectly describe Edward 🙂👍💙
If more elderly people were like Edward the world would be a way better place.
My bff: Whats ur fav instrument vince?
Me: sandblocks...
They have become my favorite as well
I love Edward's theme so much even back then! I love this one!
Edward man he is a golden personality the most kindest,most friendly and a wise character

Keep up the great work 😄😄😄
and that's why I changed my channel name and pic.
my favorites were edward and james but i though they were the same type of lokomotive
Edward is my favorite character and I love his theme.
@@lordvader1672 love edward too he was one my favorite charcters even i had trouble telling him apart from james sometimes
I tend to think of Edward as "Knightly" in a way. Old, but steadfast and dutiful. Edward's Exploit is a perfect example.
This was beautiful man. As for what next I'd suggest Toby's theme.
Thanks Diesel! & added!
I love Edward's theme so much
The perfect theme for the wise edward
Amazing and i love edward the number 2 blue engine and he also got his own branch line call edward's branch line man Edward is the best
Wow, absolutely amazing work sir! I love how you didn’t just recreate the Season 1 variant and utilized the more elaborate S2 variant. Your Thomas videos seem to be doing well. Keep up the great work dude!

Edward worked hard all day. The coaches thought he was very kind and the driver was very pleased
Amazing work! Edward has always been my favorite engine and you did his theme justice.
thanks straswa!
Not only did I like Thomas, but Edward was my favorite as ever. Good Times with Thomas The Tank Engine.💖💙😊😊
Excellent orchestrated version of Edward's theme! Fantastic that you did both his season 1 and season 2 themes in one video. Yes, his season 1 and season 2 themes are different from each other and that's shown in this video.
Now this takes me back to my childhood
*"Old Iron?" "Slow?"* "Why edward can beat you in a race any day!!!"
"So many requests" because as Unlucky Tug explains, Edward is an awesome character. I love how he is such a goody-goody but he completely avoids it making him come across as a dickhead.
Except the hit era, They made edward a dick.
Edward is best boi! Thank you for keeping my childhood fresh. Edward's theme is such an uplifting theme, especially in these trying times.
This musician just made a Thomas musical masterpiece.
I had fever all along, my control over my body was gone, I listened to this song, my fever was long gone. Thank you all week long...
Glad to hear you're feeling better Rishi!
Ah Edward my favorite character
This is just so beautiful! You nailed it. Love the harmonizing clarinet and soprano sax. I think the two instruments blend nicely but you can also differentiate them, and it gives the harmony line really nice clarity that I feel the original theme kind of lacks. Love the flute and piccolo joining in for the grand ending!!
Thanks Jon! I agree the reed-y woodwinds work really well together for blending 😄
Edward: “Oh hello there Luke Edward here. Just wanted to say thank you for doing my theme tune. You’re a great musician.”
🙂🔵🚂🎼👍
Thanks for listening!
Wheels spinning, axels aching, belittled by the bigger engines, and straining more and more, the old engine presses on. Just shows that even with most forces against him, Edward perseveres!
Fantastic! I also like how a Cow-Bell happens to be one of the instruments; lol just makes me think of Henry & Gordon teasing Edward about cows well... at least till their own comeuppance :D
Thanks! I think cowbell was even in the original instrumentation of his theme from Mike and Junior!
Oh my oh my my favorate character
When i was younger my favorate were the scottish twins
Donald and Douglas are good
Edward was always my favorite. What a legend! Great cover! :)
Thanks a lot!
Edward and Richard are my favorite engines
Yay Grandpa Edward!! He's one of the characters I'd love to hug. I want to hug this old engine! Hemay be old, but he's kinda and wise and you can always depend on him.
this was one of the most nostalgic musics in thomas
I love how you've combined the two different tunes from the series to make this. This is beautiful- Edward's theme is one of my favourite pieces of music and you've done it justice. Well done😀
Glad you liked the lil' mashup! Thanks for listening KM 😄
My favorite Edward stories from the show were Edward Helps out and Edward’s Exploit.
As a little 5yo kid, Edward made me think of a 14yo middle son in a busy family (or second eldest). Asks for nothing. Works hard. Expects nothing in return, he just does what he needs to do, and does his best to look after his family members and help them too. Does the laundry for mom so she can rest her feet, which makes him happy seeing his mom have a break. Wise beyond his years and more grounded than most, but he doesn't think that way - he just focuses on being a good person.

Edward is one of my favorite characters 0:59
Without a doubt my favorite of the character themes!
Edward has always been able to push past his limits and you were able to broadcast that perfectly!
:D
I’m glad you’re getting recognition for your covers you deserve it and more.
Aw thanks Reading! It's been a lot of fun to connect with so many people that have fond memories of the series :)
@@InstrumentManiac No problem, hope you continue to have fun for more to come. :)
This is probably the theme I remember best from my childhood!
I haven't forgotten that one scene of Edward with James's sad face.
Edward is a wise and kind old engine and when he isn’t hauling fight cars Edward is good at being back engine when engines need help getting up top of Gordon’s hill when they have heavy loads
Oh I really love it.Edward's theme song are my most favourite theme song 😍😍😍.
Edward was always my favourite along with Duck, Donald and Douglas
This is by far the best version of Edward's Theme I've ever heard! Where can I find an mp3 for this? It's WAAAAAAAY too good!
Thank you! Full mp3s are available on my patreon at the lowest level :)

Nia and rebecca will never have themes nearly as good as this and henrys theme
Do they even have themes
@@BelcarrigFarm Probably not...
@@Alarcj7 even if they did it would probably be modern music with (*vomits*) lyrics

My favorite engine and my favorite song

Amen to that!!!
Gordon is the bsst

Let’s just say that Gordon, Henry, and Edward are the best because they were the first three to be made by the R Wibert Audrey.
Nope Gordon is the best read the railway series and the unlucky guys video on why he is
the best Edward theme on youtube

Thank You Kind Sir. Gave Edward justice he deserves after being removed from the steam team. Stellar Job Luke. ❤️👍💪
Thanks Bear! What!? I didn't realize he had been removed from the team 😭 Edward deserves better!!
WOW, I just discovered this cover and it is great! I haven't heard such a lovely live orchestral-style cover. Good work, and keep it up! James or Toby's theme would be nice for future videos.
Thanks DoncasterA1! Actually Toby is coming next week - stay tuned :)

Haha no way that's awesome! Thanks for listening :)
Fantastic work Luke! Daisy’s theme is great, that would get my vote!
not the hero we diserved but the hero we needed
My favorite theme in the entire series has to be The Flying Kipper or just Henry's theme in general, I would love to see one of them in the future to be honest! Great work keep it up dude!
Thanks Zy! Haha I actually finished recording that one recently... keep an eye out it should be up in a few weeks!
Great job on this piece, you really got into the spirit of Edward The Blue Engine theme. Great job on this one.
It might be old but he's suprise us all
Me grimlock very love this theme and also the cover thank you way the go
Edward’s theme is my favourite after Thomas.
Edward is my favorite engine off all time
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD love for all these
The original series themes for the engines were the BEST
New season stiff is just HEEEEEELL NO!
:D 4-4-0 ex-Furness Railway K2 class locomotiveis my fav
i used this music in my model train video but i gave creditv
You can not not smile when seeing edward and his theme
One of my favorite character s of all time.
This one is kind of victory and yeah nice job thank you for this video
Edward: I’m gonna have a great day
Wheel thing: ima ruin this engines whole career
I have no idea why no one is suggesting the Skarloey Railway Theme but its SO cute.
Seriously!! Like the epitome of Mike & Junior's orchestral writing.
Waiting on an oboe but working on the arrangement 😄
I see that you wore blue for this particular special occasion of a theme EDIT: thank you instrumentmaniac for noticing my comment
So much joy. I have to go watch that episode now... followed by the Edward and James episode... Uh oh. I can sense a theme of Thomas videos. Fantastic work! XOXOXO
Haha yes!! They are so fun to watch now as an adult and appreciate HOW MUCH WORK went into making them :)
That was outstanding rendition and interpretation :) Of course, the obligatory, needs more cowbell 😂
Thanks Shawn! Haha yes I need to upload a second video: Edward's Theme (Cowbell only version)
I always liked his theme from season 1-7 and the HiT era
Some of Edwards best moments
Edward is my favorite! Wait change the Edward make it this channel! This Channel is my favorite!
I adore your remixs they are beautiful
nostalgic its stuck in my head poggers
Nice one, InstrumentManiac!! I guess Edward's triumphant theme is the best Edward the Blue Engine theme for me, I prefer Edward's theme more in Edward's Exploit.
Duck felt happier with Edward and set to work at once
