The thing I keep thinking about in this episode is that the Doctor tells Ruby to play a song to a world where music seems to have "died". But that wasn't the case. It was that music was being "hunted" by something that ate it wherever it could find it. The people listening to Ruby's song were moved, like they could remember how it sounded to hear something so beautiful, but then the Maestro arrived and silenced it, and immediately they recoiled. In this particular timeline, The Maestro had become an urban legend of "Don't play good music, or you'll get killed."
from the two episodes this has been the thing that left the biggest impact imo. just an extended music-only bit. normally they wouldn't dedicate this amount of time to something like this.
It helps especially that the music being so monumental is the point of the scene. It's not just there to pad out the space, it's to show that good music CAN exist in this timeline, it's just that it's being actively suppressed by forces unknown (which is then revealed to be Maestro). It shows how even a home-composed melody on a poorly-tuned piano can strike us in our hearts and souls, and lets us feel what everyone else is feeling from letting us all sit in the moment. I think a worse show would have used the moment to insert dialogue or set up Maestro's coming, which would've drawn away from the inherent beauty of the music because of how the audience's attention is then drawn away from the music and onto something else. Letting us sit in the moment also makes Maestro's arrival more sudden, since we're also expecting to hear the full composition rather than being suddenly cut off at the crescendo.
Can’t seem to get a balanced review of this episode. It’s either fawning over how wonderful it is without acknowledging the deliberate reconning of lore, or being hypercritical over the identity politics being hammered in. It falls somewhere in the middle, but all the good is lost to the “message”. Just tell a story. There’s no need for ideology or preaching.
Legitimate question, what identity politics in this episode? Queer people and people of color existing? The message of this episode was about music and the range of emotions it helps people explore.
@@nerdlife6676 okay don’t bait. That’s not what I meant and you know it. It’s the drag queen nonsense and the pronouns. I give exactly no fucks about the Doctor and who he/she wants to bang. I actually like male/male as long as I relate to the characters. It’s why I rolled my eyes at most whining reviews of this episode, and rolled them equally at the rah rah cheerleader reviews of this episode. It falls in the middle. Like I said.
'i wrote this for my friend trudy when a girl broke her heart' and then she plays her own theme
ruby sunday, you little heartbreaker
DAMN, I never saw it that way but you are so right
They need to release this gem on Spotify.
Its Rubys theme
They have but it's not Murray gold I think it's released by geek music
Totally agree
@SonicSnippets2 Nah, Geek Music does covers. The official soundtrack album isn't out yet (and long overdue already)
It is 😆

Music our savior from war, pain and sadness. The world needs music to survive. It resonates through the heart and feeds the soul. Thank you music.
My favourite scene of this new era so far
We absolutely need the full version on this old ass untuned piano💔
I've seen the episode twice now and I WEPT both times

They'd better release this season soundtrack!
My favourite scene from the two that “dropped” today. Better than a farting space station anyways.
I probably gave this video 90% of the views
Wunderschön ❤
Please make this available to RUclips video 🙏
What do you mean?
@@SonicSnippets2 oop, *RUclips music
@@Agills-Photography😂

Thank you!
What's the name of the song Ruby is playing?
The life of Sunday by Murray gold, the composer of the show. The track is on Spotify

"Deliberate retconning of lore" What the fuck are you talking about?
@@nerdlife6676this person thinks nonbinary people shouldn't exist.

@@christianschoff2490 the fuck I’m talking about? Only the last season with the doctor being some random kid who has miracle powers. Retcon.
