The internet can be a pretty disheartening place what with
ignorance, hatred, pornography, and just the plain old news. I think we all
need to focus on the positive; on what is making us happy. Whether it’s
something happening in our lives or whether it’s a movie, song, or a book, we
would do well to remember it and encourage other by sharing what light is
shining brighter than the shadow. So, come on, share, in the first installment
of What’s Making You Happy This Week.
One of the things making me happy this week is getting a
chance to dig into the Doctor Who scores. I know that it’s a bit fan boyish to
say so, but I really was excited to purchase composer Murray Gold’s scores.
Actually, I purchased highlights from season 5-7. Prior to Matt Smith’s tenure
as the doctor the show’s score was a bit campy. In season 5 however, with the
introduction of a new doctor and a new companion, Gold turned it to another
level with the reoccurring anthemic theme “I Am The Doctor”. Probably my
favorite track however is current companion Clara’s theme (best demonstrated on
the track “Clara?”). At its core, is a simple piano track which tinkles along before
moving on to encompass the entire orchestra. It is almost if Dario Marianelli
actually wrote something happy instead of dramatically poignant.
That’s what’s
making me happy. What is making you happy?
