In August 2008, Alex Day searched the web for “Time Lord Rock” - a subsection of music he thought would exist to celebrate the TV show Doctor Who - but got no results. Shortening the term to ‘Trock’, he introduced the concept to his YouTube viewers, launching the music with a self-penned song called An Awful Lot Of Running (inspired by the words of Jenny at the end of the 2008 episode ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

I believe everything happens for a reason Why did we end up here Chronarchs dead, nothing left; all seems so confusing Vortex can’t just disappear
What happens when all the lights go out There’s no way back; we’re stranded now What happens when everything goes dark It’s got no life left in its heart
I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Seems I’m not that clever after all
Now my race are erased; nothing but the memories Folktalkes told through time Legacy meant to be buried with the yale key And my remaining lives
A green glimmer of hope, we can’t let it go to waste If I give some of my life, we’ll use it to escape this place Where are they running off to, I thought that they would care Try to keep them safe, they don’t know what lies out there
