Good one!

I knew this would turn into one of the holiest of holy grails...

[Incanus 5,714]

Picking Pockets

Your sound silenced, ere ever heard,oh sweet cue,

Until, that is, the Blu-ray release will be due.

Your orchestral banter we cannot hear, it must be witty,

because of Sony's PR department, more the pity.

Alas we cannot hear your voice,

I assure you it was not our choice.

We adoringly will turn to you,

Solemnly and hold it true,

You are the cue of might have been,

Not heard but often on the MB seen.

But text form cannot to us reveal,

the momentous might of your appeal,

since letters do not speak your tongue,

words to describe you, adequately, there are none.

We must suffer in musical exile so dour,

until there comes the Blu-ray rip hour,

And your sounds upon our ears released,

our troubles over, panic ceased.

Thus I salute you, cue we never knew,

We hold out, we will remain true,

Until one day you might appear

on recording sessions leak so clear

where every cue will have its due,

We will hold out, we will remain true.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Faleel 5,346]

Picking Pockets, I hope your on the USA release, since your not on the foreign release used for the samples!

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[crocodile 8,000]

A great poem for the greatest cue of this decade.

Karol

[fommes 153]

It's already a classic! Before you know it, there will be parodies and homages with titles like "Poking Pickets" and "Licking Lockets"!

[Incanus 5,714]

Yes! JWFan will coin the phrase Picking Pockets meaning that something won't succeed after all.

"It will be a Picking Pockets situation"

"You won't have Picking Pockets chance."

"Look things are OK. This is not like Picking Pockets."

"Hold on, hold on, we're not Picking Pockets yet."

[fommes 153]

Indeed. What's more, when Mr Williams will find eternal rest in the end, it will be said that he has picked the pocket.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Lament for Picking Pockets or "Wrath of KM" or

"Ere the grey dusk at the JWFan"

Ere the grey dusk at JWFan,

we heard the lamentable news,

Picking Pockets on track list was a dubious sham,

which broke into a general blues,

that struck all listeners, fans and fanboys

in particular one KM

who forswore all cunning marketing ploys,

and said "never trust Sony again".

His cries of unjustice were clear and loud,

as Dark Lord in dour depression was laid,

like in some dark, treacherous, bilious cloud,

and prophesies horribly murky he made.

"We will get only palrty 60 percent of the score,

it's an outrageous, preposterous JW trick,

when we could have gotten 20 minutes or more

on the album, it would have been a perfect fit.

"And they took Picking Pockets away before that,

how much of this have to we bear,

Now the album has gone so totally flat",

he said and wondered "Doesn't JW care?".

"Fear not!" said the most optimistic of fans,

"We'll likely have 60 minutes of score,

and if music is as good as the clips seem to imply,

you'll miss Picking Pockets no more."

"What outrage! What blasphemy!" Some fans cried,

We will never abandon that noble track,

We will bawl, We will shout, We will rage stupefied,

'til we get Picking Pockets back."

Alas these plans, even if well laid,

and seasoned with rage, lust and craze,

were typically threats impotently made,

and much ado about nothing did raise.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Incanus 5,714]

Yes obviously! You can attribute that piece of nonsense to Mikko Ojala i.e. me.

Your lament was so emotional. I especially felt teary eye during the part with the cashews.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Only when you stuff them up the arse.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jay 37,346]

This thread is brilliant!

[fommes 153]

Meanwhile, "A Thirst for Adventure" is somewhere in a dark corner by itself, crying, and forgotten by all.

[Jay 37,346]

That's true. We ASSUME that they simply renamed it to "The Adventure Continues", but you never know - it COULD be a different cue entirely! There's no website with the 19 track version AND times

[Incanus 5,714]

Meanwhile, "A Thirst for Adventure" is somewhere in a dark corner by itself, crying, and forgotten by all.

Oh but Adventure Continues by any other name is still A Thirst For Adventure. Or so we still think.

[fommes 153]

Surely "A Thirst of Adventure" does not stoop to the pitch-shifting fakeness of its replacement! No, it symbolizes the originally composed end credits suite that will now never see the light of day, ever.

[Quintus 5,399]

So is this THE holy grail for KM, then?

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[crocodile 8,000]

It is absolutely the best single piece of music I've never heard.

A Thirst for Adventure or How the marketing department screwed up

You're a mystery to us you chameleon cue,

your name seems to change but I hope not your hue.

Picking Pockets is lost but you are still there I dream,

For A Thirst for Adventure is a name that I deem,

was just changed to Adventure Continues which is,

For us blessing and a piece that we won't have to miss.

The marketing department was busy in toil,

but erronous info did marketing foil,

of Adventures of Tintin, and did rumor create

that there was infact two track lists, which began the debate.

Speculations were raised, optimism was high,

that 19 track list was correct and that we'd buy

an album with Picking Pockets and A Thirst for Adventure in place,

alas we discovered that was not to be the case,

Since Picking Pockets had vanished, no 19 tracks,

Two-and-a-half minutes gone, those damn Sony hacks!

They had changed also the name of one of the cues,

A Thirst for Adventure became Adventure Continues.

Now this is the harsh truth that we have to accept,

release is not always what you might come to expect.

Information that you too early receive,

might quite well be true but might also deceive.

[Quintus 5,399]

It's all very well having fun and games with this but how long are people going to continue to ignore the harsh reality behind the reason the cue was omitted in the first place?

It's obvious that William Ross wrote it.

[fommes 153]

But we all know William Ross is merely an interface surrogate for John Williams, when the man's 80-year old body needs to stay at home resting.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Incanus 5,714]

A Thrist for Adventure or How the marketing department screwed up

You shouldn't be mocking the marketing departement, when you screw up the track title!

Thank you for pointing that out. You should be my editor from now on. Btw there were other mistakes there but I got no flak from you for them. You should sharpen those eyes of yours.

[Jilal 569]

Actually, it first was The Adventure Continues, then Thirst for Adventure, and then back The Adventure Continues.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Incanus 5,714]

[You don't actually think that I read your poem, do you? Because that would be very stupid.

But I thought you were my friend! Lier! And I let you quote my immortal lament on your signature! For shame Bloodboal!

One could say "Preposterous! Ridiculous! Harrumph! Highly irregular! Forsooth, forsooth indeed! Grumble, grumble! Fie, fie Bloodboal!"

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Josh500 1,615]

That's true. We ASSUME that they simply renamed it to "The Adventure Continues", but you never know - it COULD be a different cue entirely! There's no website with the 19 track version AND times

What?

I assumed the track was simply renamed, but all of a sudden, that's not so sure anymore...?

Damn! I swear the guys over at Sony Classical are doing this on purpose!

[Jay 37,346]

Well, we all assume that, and we're probably right. Especially after hearing it - it HAS to be how the end credits starts, and I can't imagine the CD ending any other way

I must say that I do prefer the name "A Thirst For Adventure" over the name "The Adventure Continues"

[fommes 153]

I assumed the track was simply renamed, but all of a sudden, that's not so sure anymore...?

Indeed, for this is a highly serious thread.

[gkgyver 1,645]

It's all very well having fun and games with this but how long are people going to continue to ignore the harsh reality behind the reason the cue was omitted in the first place?

It's obvious that William Ross wrote it.

Actually, the whole second recording session in 2011 thing is a ploy. Williams gave his original cues that he recorded way back then to Ross and he adapted them for the final picture.

[Josh500 1,615]

Well, we all assume that, and we're probably right. Especially after hearing it - it HAS to be how the end credits starts, and I can't imagine the CD ending any other way

I must say that I do prefer the name "A Thirst For Adventure" over the name "The Adventure Continues"

Still, the fact that we have no times for the 19 track version is a bit weird.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Incanus 5,714]

ROTFLMAO

SPOT ON BLOODBOAL! SPOT ON!

That should be sent to Sony!

[Josh500 1,615]

[gkgyver 1,645]

It is wholly absurd

John Towner's his name

Nobody else to blame

Throws out with glee

Music from his own CD!

Considers it a turd.

Eighty years of age

Never heard the bell

Why's the old geezer

Bloody modest as hell?

Two years we waited for every bit

Towner screws us all

Shows his giant ball

Assembles the album while taking a shit

A grail is born

Our patience is worn

But a light of hope in the sky

Don't pass it by:

At the sequel score we will cry

"No more!"

And you ask me why?

It is written by Howard Shore.

[Incanus 5,714]

What a chilling surprise ending. Went like totally from Williams bashing to Howard Shore hating. Kudos gkgyver!

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Incanus 5,714]

I'm sure Shore will develop the Picking Pockets' motif into a symphony for the sequel.

I'm afraid it will just be the "rising chords of doom" again, now used as Rising Chords of Picking Pockets.

[gkgyver 1,645]

You're crazy, it's going to be in 5/4, with heavy dissonant string divisi, to display the unnerving and relentless fear when you're picking pockets.
