- This is my own interpretation of this beautiful song from Doctor Who. I am aware that the sound quality of this is appalling, so there may be a new & improved version of this appearing soon.
Sheet Music: www.noteflight....
I haven't written in the pedal markings but they should definitely be included - feel free to experiment and see where you think they sound good. I chose to pedal for each bar.
'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's speed, my lonely angel.'

Nonsense this quality doesn't matter, you made absolute beauty through your gift, keep playing, never stop playing piano, keep it close to your heart, keep passion inside there, it will be reason enough to carry on and push forward when life gets hard, and you'll smile, make people cry,Mary yourself, music is pure emotion that we can hear, so continue the beautiful expression, and thank you for your performance👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It was absolutely beautiful to listen to you playing. Sometimes one discovers a piece of music that just stoppes time, it would seem, for a few minutes. This was like that. :)
Beautiful. Just makes me cry
Thank you for this, it is delightful. So emotive, as is the particular episode of Doctor Who. Thoughts of loss through time. I am 64 now and their are so many faces, dim images, as ghosts now, lost to me. Oh for my youth.
HARMER BECK Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know much about music at all, but I can imagine fitting a (seemingly) complex orchestral piece for piano stand-alone without sacrificing effect is no small mark of refined talent. Had they used your cover instead of the original, I still would have shed a few heart felt, but very manly tears.
Ezra Bachochin thank you very much!
This is SO beautiful! I saw you said you did this by ear and I was just in complete awe listening to this! You definitely have talent, so beautifully done!
Nice job. From one artist to another..., let me share my gift to you....The timestamps are from the MG rendition..... 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 and we hear the familiar door creek as it opens. The shot is of David over his shoulder from behind him at POV level, he walks slowly to this large structure with this music playing (perhaps a cut scene back to Rose, "why her?") , and ascends up the stairs. Closeup of his hand moving to rest on the gate to find it unlocked and pushes it open slowly. We hear her voice for the first time. "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." "Such a question so early in the conversation", "And here you are, my lonely angel, on the slow path with me" , as we see her beautiful, ornate coffin come into focus in front of us. (1:30) David reaches her grave and we see the name Reinette Poisson De Pompadour and the date of her life, close-up of David (sad) and then looking off to remember: we would see the scene as where he remembers Reinette telling him being a lonely boy/man and "It's time for a Timelord to learn how to dance." 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 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." subtitled as "I wish I could have shown you the stars." 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.
(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 it is of 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 with the snow falling in the globe while you heard the Tardis dematerializing in the background. 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.
Sorry it's taken so long to reply but thank you for this! That would have been such a beautiful scene.
Doug M wow, beautifully crafted scene. Well done.
Doug M you should do an animated version. Stop motion would be very cool with the music and scene.
this is such a beautiful piece... i honestly like it so much that i keep replayiing it constantly. whenever i enter the yooutube website i listen to this piece all the time
Thank you for your kind words!
My pleasure! Great work! :)
that's so kind of you, thank you :-) it's a piece I love and I'm glad it's been well received.
thank you very much :-) it's also one of my favourite episodes.
That's beautiful! It sounds JUST like the real song! Nice work! :)
+Kimber Renzki That's very kind, thank you! :-)
Just so you know, this is on a playlist I have called SYN (Stuff You Need) where I put random vidoes that I love. Just thought i'd say :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing!
This is amazing
Love it! I was looking for a good cover to get started with this, and many were too fast or erratic. I would suggest slowing this down juuust a tad to savor the notes and spaces in between and beyond that I couldn't think of any other thing to do to it. Great rendition!
thank you very much! and i didn't use sheet music, i did it by ear :-)
Please post the sheet music as soon as you have it ready! I've watched a lot of covers of this and yours is by far the best.
your version is very beautiful, the pace is good. this piece sounds so very lonely and sad, like winter, I guess that's what the doctor does to people, once you've met the doctor, you'd spend whole life waiting for him, very sad but beautiful, can you please send me the sheet if you have it, thank you :)
It is so beautiful
thank you!
no worries :)
Beautiful! Great job!
thank you!
thank you!
Brilliant sarah
That means a lot, thank you :-)

Here is the sheet music!
Awesome! Thanks!
awww so sad ;_; ;_; I love that episode
Emilia Backstrom It's one of my favourites too. Thank you!
thanks very much for the feedback! i understand exactly what you mean about slowing it down, i may try it at some point :-)
Thank you, that's very kind. I have nearly completed the sheet music!
Hi Molly, I'm not sure as it seems to be working for me. Try searching for my name and/or the title - it should appear as it is public. I'll check to see if I can change it :-)
hello! seeing as it's summer now i was planning on writing this as a score and leaving a link in the description, will let you know when this appears :)
This song would be gorgeous on the harp
It would indeed!
I really liked this :D
+The Badass Biscuit Thank you!
Sarah Gamble Girl in the fireplace is one of my favourite episodes like ever :D
