The Thomas the Tank Engine theme played on cellos is the absolute banger you didn’t know you needed

Cellist Samara Ginsberg‘s multi-tracked performances have been an unexpected benefit of the coronavirus restrictions.

Past highlights have included Jurassic Park and Knight Rider.

Knight Rider – had quite a few requests for this one and no wonder because it's a total banger pic.twitter.com/7C6Gq6Kn5u

Amazing, right?

Samara’s most recent offering is this trip down Memory Lane – or memory’s tracks, perhaps.

It went down as well as you’d expect – which is to say, brilliantly.

Of all the things that I didn't know I needed in my Friday evening, this is up there! This tune literally dominated my life until I was 6! Happy memories. https://t.co/4DfHc0VaWA

Because we can, we’re sharing the Imperial March from Star Wars – played by Darth Vader, apparently.

She must sit on the dark side of the string section.
