Within the album’s 22 tracks are 12 songs written by Tim for the critically-acclaimed, award-winning West End production, newly-recorded by the film’s extraordinary cast: Emma Thompson, Lashana Lynch, Andrea Riseborough, Stephen Graham, and newcomer Alisha Weir as Matilda. Track 22 is a special new song Tim wrote for the movie: ‘Still Holding My Hand’.
In addition, the soundtrack also includes 10 instrumental score pieces by Christopher Nightingale, music supervisor and orchestrator of the original stage production.
There’s a Songbook too! Available in the UK and Europe now from Musicroom. If you’re in the US and Canada you can preorder from Hal Leonard. They will both ship internationally and the folio will arrive on Australian shores shortly so it’s now available to preorder from Hal Leonard Australia.
The Songbook presents the 12 songs from the hit movie soundtrack, arranged for voice and piano with chord symbols, including ‘Still Holding My Hand’ which you can also acquire as Digital Sheet Music for Piano, Vocal and Guitar Chords or for Easy Piano from Sheet Music Direct.
Lucky (Tim) and Meg (Milly Alcock) will hit the open road – and river – once again when the misfit duo are unexpectedly reunited four years after their epic adventure crossing the Nullarbor Plain with a cherished piano. This time they trade the desert for the steamy tropics of Far North Queensland on a mission to find Meg’s mum.
Tim: “We worked so hard on this second season, having to overcome many hurdles on the way. The making of art imitating art, I guess. Things are different in Meg and Lucky’s world, and shit gets even weirder than in season 1, but hopefully it will connect with people in the same way. Ep 8 is another tear-jerker, if jerking tears is your thing. (It is mine!)”

Tim, the Executive Producer, Lead Writer, and star of UPRIGHT has again written some music for the series, alongside another beautiful score by Jackson Milas and Antony Partos. Tim wrote The Aeroplane which was released earlier this month and Spider Girl which he’s been playing at Australian festivals this year for the series.
“Australian Story” this week addresses the topic about which I know the most but am least interested: me. It’s also about Sarah, so there’s redemption in that.
