New Theme Tune hits screens

The start of the 2007 season brought with it a brand new version of Home and Away’ss famous theme tune, sung by Israel Cannan. However, it was badly received by many of the show’ss fans, who disliked the theme’ss new vocal arrangement.

Thus, after just three months on the air, the theme tune was re-recorded, with new vocals by 20-year-old actor and musician Luke Dolahenty.

The new arrangement hit Australian screens today, and is reminiscent of the original version of the show’ss theme tune, with many of our forum members noting the similarity between the voices of Mark Williams (singer of the 89-95 theme) and Luke Dolahenty.

So far, the theme has had a lukewarm reception by members of our forum, but the majority seem to agree that it’ss an improvement over the version it proceeds.
