- The Doctor's home planet, Gallifrey, was destroyed in the Last Great Time War.
All that remains of the mighty and noble race of the Timelords are the memories of the sole survivor: The Doctor. Once in a while he thinks back to his childhood and home. Running through the pastures of deep red grass with his friends, calling up to the sky; Consulting the hermit who lived up on one of the towering mountains: Mount Perdition, Mount Cadon and the twin mountains of Solace and Solitude; or day-dreaming whilst in lessons at the Prydonian Acadamy. Despite the strict hierarchy and rules of the Timelords which The Doctor ran away from, he misses the kinship of fellow Timelords. Beyond the glass-domed Citadel and the estates of the nobility lay the wastelands where tribal nomadic Gallifreyans wandered. When The Doctor closes his eyes he can still hear the choral melodies drifting through the air from the solitary grand cathedrals.

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of 'This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home'. There is something magical and mythological about the planet Gallifrey and the Timelords that I have always loved. This soft piano with subtle choir attempts to emulate memories of a happier time and evoke nostalgia.
Disclaimer: the music and art in this video were created by myself. Please do not steal and re-upload any of the content for any purposes, commercial or otherwise. This includes using the music as background audio in other videos. I would like to keep the content I create exclusive to my channel. Thank you for understanding.
For clarification: This channel follows the 2005-2010 continuity in which Gallifrey was destroyed. For 9 years Gallifrey was destroyed in canon and the stories in this time reflect this. Personally, I felt that the revival of Gallifrey contradicted the entirety of the RTD era with the representation of the Time War and Timelords to not be fitting to the more mystical and mythological picture that the show was going for when it returned.
“Do you remember my father’s land back home? Pastures of red grass stretching far across the slopes of Mount Perdition. We use to run across those fields all day.. Calling up at the sky..”
But then they went to war. An endless war. And it changed them. Right to the core. You’ve seen my enemies. The Time Lords are more dangerous than any of them.
"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold.
It’s taken me 6 months to realise that the title is:
THIS *WAS* GALIFREY
Well that’s depressing
Aw man as sad as this cover was, the gut punch is the title… genius
0:51 the doctor being nostalgic about the old days of Gallifrey
Gallifrey, the golden world
Under the honey firmament a paradise unfurled
As morn came the skies turned to an orange hue
Casting its light across the silver trees, glittering with the morning dew
To the feet of the capitol lay grass of deepest red
If you listened carefully, you could hear the mountains sing, it was said
Gallifrey, around the twin suns it did gently turn
It took a just a single day for it all to burn
if you wrote that, that's a very good poetic version of Ten's dialogue
This is truly beautiful. The images of Gallifrey’s former glory combined with the sorrowful piano make for a real tear-jerker. I wish this song was available to download or listen to on SoundCloud or something so I can listen offline.
Please, never remove this!! Purely mesmerising!! I can’t help but smile when I hear this and just think of The Doctor, and what he dreams about, or how he remembers his home planet! Beautiful!! 🙌🏻
Absolutely beautiful, and not only that, but also haunting, it’s so ambient, well done!
This is so beautiful
Oh my goodness. This is absolutely majestic!
Amazing work! Genuine chills down my spine!
This is stunning!! 🙏🏻
"Oh I think I'm a little too old for Utopia. Time I had some sleep......"
UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL! Sooo great! I wish more people made their own mixes of This Is Gallifrey, such a nice version to capture the way the 10th doctor thinks of Gallifrey of old :3
Gallifrey's immortal memory made manifest in the Doctor.
This is a perfect cover, I wish I could hear it in Hollow Knight. I feel it would be right at home there... wait... a doctor who game like Hollow Knight where you explore the ruins of Gallifrey. I don't care if it's not cannon I would play the hell outta that.
I WOULD LOVE A DOCTOR WHO METROIDVANIA GAME
I think it’s a shame they brought back Gallifrey.
I mean, I wouldn’t mind quite so much if they’d just brought back the planet and the Time Lords were gone, but still… the fact that he’s the last of the Time Lords works so well
Beautiful!
My gosh this is beautiful
This is basically what the music will be like after the Time War
This makes me hate Hell Bent and Moffat even more.
Well at least he didn't destroy it again unlike SOMEONE ELSE-
@@mv9370 he did, just not as badly
Why you shoulda seen it that old planet🌎! The sun☀️would rise in the south and the Mountains🏔️⛰️would shine✨!
It's so sad.
Can I use this for my audio drama series I'm trying to make, it won't be till like series 3 I use this
Hi, sorry but I don't want my music pieces being uploaded anywhere else as written in the video's description. I've had problems in the past regarding accusations of stealing despite being the original creator. Best of luck on the audio drama series though! : )
Miles Tarrant thanks and no problem anyway
This is beautiful!! What software did you use for it? :)
Thanks! It's Magix software. I wouldn't recommend it though since its clunky and crashes all the time.
@@Miles_Tarrant Ah, ok fair enough. Thanks anyway!
