6. The Life And Death Of Amy Pond

http://youtu.be/oKbxO6Od0sg As indicated by its title, this careening melody is almost a tribute to Amy Pond and her many years of running throughout the universe alongside the Doctor. A dream-like quality pervades the first section, remindful of a patient, watchful little Amy resting her chin on her fist and gazing persistently at the stars. A mad man with a blue box is somewhere up there, soaring amid the constellations that dot the dark night sky. She knows her raggedy man will come crashing into her life again when she least expects it... Then, the music climbs to a new stage of her life when she happily reunites with the long-absent Doctor and is amazed by the possibilities that lie behind the TARDIS doors. All of the stories that adults dismissed as her childhood delusions became more real than even the most ordinary aspects of life. Time was her backyard and, at last, she was among the stars that she had watched so diligently as a little girl. Next, the music surges to an impassioned tone, for Amy's time is almost up. Travelling with the Doctor involves a treacherous, uncertain future and, although she finally parts from her life of fairytales and seeing the unimaginable, she wouldn't have missed it for the world.
