He's a Really Useful Engine - Song Cover | TTTE 80th Anniversary Special by Angel Pirela Productions published on 2025-05-12T10:18:45Z "You've got to remember who your writing for. You're not merely writing for children. You're writing for the unfortunate people who've got to read the stories over, and over, and over again." - Rev. W. Awdry --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So here is my contribution for the 80th Anniversary! It took me 5 years to do something for the 75th but uhh... I didn't know at the time. Man, 80 years this franchise has huh? Just like I did with my rendition of the S1-7 Main Theme, I wanted to not only get this out of the way, but because I just couldn't miss this opportunity. Thomas was special for me because it was a show that really got me far from where I am now, a now 20yo young adult who's now a professional technician but still dealing with lots and lots of stuff that I have to go through. But despite all that, this show and the franchise as a whole really taught me so many life lessons, made new friends along the way and things that their actually relevant for present day and even for me especially. Now for this cover I wanted to make a mix of "all" variants from the show, TATMR and TAB. The pitch, the backing choir and some little changes on the lyrics, not too much to say. I haven't really done a song cover like before from a Thomas song in here, last time I made one was back IN 2020 on my YouTube channel and let's just say that I didn't had the best performance back then as well. But now that I have more experience and practiced a lot with my singing voice I can safely say that I made a pretty good job on this! Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this and Happy 80th Anniversary to Thomas & Friends and The Railway Series! Cheers to another year of friendship and teamwork! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔴YouTube Mirror ▸ https://youtu.be/-zErfUw6bb4 🎶 Instrumental by @aceoftrains_music 🔊 Voice Recording and Audio Mixing by Angel Pirela Productions; Made with Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio 🎹Original Song Composed and Lyrics by Mike O'Donnell & Junior Campbell --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🟡Check out my Google Drive music folder here if you want to listen to more themes I made (with credit of course)! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1g…-FcH?usp=sharing Comment by Disneyfan95 I’m in love Thomas is being celebrated beautifully with this version nice job 2025-07-22T02:00:04Z Comment by Asher’s Railway Tunes You have a beautiful singing voice.
