the theme song for the Australian soap opera Prisoner (known as
Prisoner: Cell Block H in some territories). It was written by Allan
Caswell and performed by Lynne Hamilton.Caswell recalls that his
"publisher was having lunch with a guy from Grundy's one Friday and
asked what they had coming up. They already had music for Prisoner,
but the final decision was being made on the Monday and if we could
get something to them by then they'd listen to it. I didn't get a
chance to work on it until the Sunday afternoon. It was like buying a
lottery ticket either I write something and it might get accepted or
I don't write something and not give myself a chance." Caswell
recorded the song on a portable cassette player "and gave it to his
publisher who delivered it without listening to it. Within five days,
I was in the studio with Lynne Hamilton. She got half way through the
song and burst into tears. Anyone who believed in it like that was
going to do a good version of it."An alternative version of this song
was used in the credits of Episode 79, and again in Episode 154. On
this version, there is a small guitar intro and the orchestration is
slightly different. This particular version is not available on the
soundtrack and was only used during the credits at the end of the show
on rare occasions. The song alternated with an orchestra-only version
of this track during the first two seasons.
