WENTWORTH Season 2 has new opening titles music performed by ‘ Pleasantville ‘
The idea came to me driving through Woodend on my way home from Melbourne . I quickly jotted it down on my portable recorder ( phone )and recorded it the next day with Michelle singing the chant over & over until it sounded like a choir.
I hope you like it , if you don’t – hang in there , it grows on you .

I like it! What about a full version?)
June 20, 2014 at 9:42 am
Thanks Nina ,I never intended for it to be a full song but who knows . The sea change theme started off as a 45 sec theme and i later developed it into a 4 minute song .
Anything is possible . thanks again , Rich
February 18, 2015 at 5:29 pm
Yes i started watching this show on netflix and i love the show and the song…please make it a full song,thats a hit in the making…
February 18, 2015 at 5:30 pm
Thanks Mike – it’s done , just gotta get the legal stuff done – cheers
February 18, 2015 at 5:35 pm
Hey Rich love the show,wish it came on tv in the u.s…Bea Smith rocks..
June 23, 2014 at 7:34 am
Yes my daughter made me search and search for the opening song of Wentworth, not realising it wasn’t a full song but at least she now knows. She even got her phone to Shazam it but couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t pick the song up That’s when I decided to google it and eventually found this site.
My daughter would love if you did develop this into a full song.
Thanks Rich.
July 10, 2014 at 12:44 am
Love the new music its such a haunting tune would love to have a complete song. Its awesome please complete it! Im sure there are plenty of fans that would love it too. I want it as a ringtone as i keep humming it all the time..
July 10, 2014 at 9:17 am
That’s what we like to hear . So glad you like it . I think I will have crack at fleshing it out . I have reinvented it got season 3 also . It’s a bit nine inch nails now . Cheers
July 31, 2014 at 5:01 am
I love the new opening and it will be aswesome if you develop it to a full song… like probably most who found their way here i was looking to find out where i could get the full version lol.
…Now I really wanna hear your NIN version!!! lol!
July 31, 2014 at 7:48 am
Thanks Erin , it would make sense to flesh it out . Ideas are starting to gestate .rich
August 4, 2014 at 10:24 pm
I like it.
It reminds me of ‘If I Had A Heart’ by Fever Ray which is used on the opening credits of the show Vikings.
I also would like to hear a full version of the Wentworth song.
Good Song Pleasantville.
August 5, 2014 at 9:39 am
Thank you Paul . I haven’t heard the VIKINGS track , so i ‘you tubed’ it this morn . Yeah i guess it has a similar modal drone to it . I like it .I would like to complete the wentworth theme into a song .
I’ll get around to it one day .
Cheers .
April 17, 2015 at 6:43 am
I had thought the same thing when I heard it. Reminded me of a cross between Vikings and Nip/Tuck, though after listening back, the Nip/Tuck theme isn’t that similar. The instrumental part at the beginning was reminiscent, but then went in it’s own direction. I do love the Wentworth theme.
April 17, 2015 at 6:47 am
Thanks Matt .
April 17, 2015 at 8:45 am
I cant wait til the full song is released to the people….
April 18, 2015 at 1:43 am
I can’t say I know either of these tracks , if there is similarity it’s genuinely accidental . I strive to be original . Cheers
August 11, 2014 at 6:50 pm
Love this opening song! I always find myself either singing or humming it for ages after the show has finished. A full version would definitely be amazing….😃
September 17, 2014 at 8:52 pm
Thanks Tracy , i am getting the strong feeling that i have to do this . I started work on it today .
cheers , Rich
September 14, 2014 at 5:10 pm
Hi Rich, I’ve just started watching Wentworth in England and love the music the start. I am always looking for music for my daughter to dance to in competitions and this would make an amazing lyrical tune for her. I really hope you develope it into a full track, I could listen to it over and over again. Love it
Sharon x
September 17, 2014 at 8:47 pm
Thankyou Sharon , I love hearing from folk on the other side of the world . I hope your daughter finds a suitable piece , i would like to flesh it out into a song and have just started work on it .
We shall see . Cheers , Rich .
September 14, 2014 at 10:31 pm
Hi There, I love this tune and have been looking to see if there is a longer version to download on itunes, Its very similar in feel to the theme tune to House MD
September 17, 2014 at 8:44 pm
Thanks Andrew , i aim to flesh it out soon . There is no itunes joy for you yet . Sorry .
RP
September 16, 2014 at 7:16 am
Totally agree with everyone, please please make a full version of this track, it is amazing!
September 17, 2014 at 8:43 pm
Thanks Jackie , i have just started work on a full version , Hope to have it ready for season 3 release .
Thanks again .
RP
September 22, 2014 at 6:23 am
At first I was a bit sceptical about the whole lyrics thing but then as you said it grew on me brilliant, sets the tone to the show. I’ve been looking everywhere for the chords lol it’s scarily catchy. I’m surprised to hear it’s not an actual song yet. Well basically it was great lol still got me chanting lol
September 23, 2014 at 11:52 am
Thanks Gazza , season 3 version gets harder and tougher again .
I am working on a song version but hitting a few hurdles . We will see.
It cycles around Gm Bb F C / G Bb F C . hope this helps . cheers RP
September 25, 2014 at 7:07 am
Hey Defo need the full version ASAP lol. Love it here in sunny scotland x
September 25, 2014 at 8:52 am
Thanks Jai , i’m glad our show is being well received in Scotland . I am trying to get a full song out but just hitting some hurdles at the moment .
The theme was nominated for best TV theme so fingers crossed .
Thanks again , Richard P
ps – if you like the theme you might the PLEASANTVILLE album https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/just-another-girl-old-guitar/id859370325 – it also features Michelle’s voice
September 25, 2014 at 6:46 pm
Good luck on the nomination. I will certainly be looking at I tunes. Thanks again and GL
October 2, 2014 at 7:13 am
Hope you get over the hurdles soon! Fingers crossed you will get a full song out i love it 🙂
October 2, 2014 at 8:23 am
Thanks Wendy , will do my best . Cheers
October 3, 2014 at 5:05 am
Love theme tune just as much as the show. I would love that tune as my ringtone xx
October 3, 2014 at 8:13 am
Thanks Carrina, appreciate your kind words . Rp
October 16, 2014 at 9:28 am
I have been searching for a full version of the song since I heard it- hope your successful in finishing it! Love the theme tune
October 16, 2014 at 9:31 am

November 8, 2014 at 10:38 pm

November 8, 2014 at 11:11 pm
Thanks Kelly , hope you like season 3 ‘ treatment . It’s my fave . Rich
November 9, 2014 at 4:43 am
its very weird but a couple of years ago i had this intro in my head before this was even created and at the time was looking for the lyrics of the songs but could never find it. hmm…… i suppose a lot of strange things happen in life and never get an answer for it.
November 9, 2014 at 8:29 am
That does sound strange . Maybe you are channeling me .
November 9, 2014 at 4:44 am
Just to make absolutely sure……. what EXACTLY are the words please xxxx
November 9, 2014 at 8:30 am
You don’t know me when I don’t know you. You’re calling me in , you’re catching me out .
November 9, 2014 at 11:33 am
Ahhh wicked. …. so I haven’t been making a total muppet of myself singing the wrong words!!!! Hahaha xxx
November 9, 2014 at 2:43 pm
No _ Hold your head up high – we are muppet free !
November 10, 2014 at 1:22 am
I don’t have iTunes. ….. how do I get your album???? Bearing in mind im a bit of a techno phobe!!!! Hahaha xxx
November 10, 2014 at 7:54 am
Hi kelly , where do you live ? Uk ? Oz ?
November 11, 2014 at 4:20 am
Uk love xx
November 11, 2014 at 9:27 pm
Would love this as ring tone is that possible
November 11, 2014 at 9:52 pm
Im sorry Jennette , I haven’t prpaed a ring tone – I’m sure fremantle would own the rights to that sort of thing .
I reckon a good ole phone tone would be better .
cheers
November 12, 2014 at 10:29 am
So what can I do then hun???? Xxx
November 12, 2014 at 12:40 pm
Hi kelly . You can pay 25 AUD into PayPal account richpleaz@bigpond.com and let me know your address to post it to . If you need help paying in money , ask a teenager they generally know how . Cheers
November 13, 2014 at 5:54 pm
Great Song man! Can it be bought/downloaded?
November 24, 2014 at 1:46 pm
Hi Stephen , I’m sorry but no ,it’s the property of Fremantle . I still want to create a full song but haven’t got around to it yet .
RP
November 21, 2014 at 8:20 pm
Hi can u send the tune so that can download as a ringtone as hooked on it
November 24, 2014 at 1:33 pm
I’m sorry Dawn ,sorry but no . it is the property of Fremantle .
ps i’m tempted to make a cheeky remark about your lack of tact and bad grammar but i’ll hold back because you have shown a liking for my music .
cheers , Richard P
ps – i know , i’m old -school .
November 28, 2014 at 10:04 am
So sorry but can’t remember wot I said
November 22, 2014 at 5:27 am
Greetings from the UK. I’ve just spent about 30 minutes looking for the theme to Wentworth and eventually found you and now I have the answer to why I can’t find it. Please add me to the list of people that would love to hear a full version when you have time. Sounds like you are busy working on Season Three. I will check back often great work definitely a fan 😉
November 24, 2014 at 1:37 pm
Thank you Ken , It is very thrilling to know that music reaches out so far . Season three is now all done . I am praying ( in a non religious way ) for season 4 . There is still no word on it but fingers crossed.
cheers .Richard P
November 29, 2014 at 6:18 am
I love it, but my hearing is not that great and it’s hard for me to understand. What are the lyrics? Especially what is being said in the background. I can hear (I think) “you don’t know me, when I don’t know you” being sung as the main part. Thanks xx
November 29, 2014 at 4:39 pm
You got it Alison , the other line is ‘ you’re calling me in , you’re catching me out . They intersect and intertwine . I quite like how they are a bit indistinct . I find it a bit intriguing when lyrics hint rather than spell out . Hopefully i have done this . Cheers from Rich .
November 29, 2014 at 6:21 am
Never mind, my apologies, just had to read more thoroughly through the existing comments. Thanks! You’re very talented.
December 7, 2014 at 2:23 pm
Greetings From the USA (Maryland) , I love the tune and can’t wait for the full version. I’m also glad now that I know the lyrics for the background. Thanks and great work.
December 7, 2014 at 2:25 pm
Thanks Helene , i love knowing there are fans so far away ! Rp
December 15, 2014 at 6:27 pm
I’ve had this on repeat for two days…please please make a full version!
December 15, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Thanks Karla , phew it’s gunna be tricky but one day i will . Thanks from Richard P
December 30, 2014 at 4:57 am
I also kept looking for this “song” and I am so sad there isn’t a full version! I really encourage you to continue the vibe you have here and make the full song!! I love it 😀
December 30, 2014 at 7:08 am
Thanks athena , rich
December 30, 2014 at 4:04 pm
Love it and want the full song too!
January 6, 2015 at 2:20 pm
I really love the opening song! I love this show. Shout out from America! Please let us know when it’s a full song. 🙂
January 7, 2015 at 7:27 am
Thanks Joey . Glad you like it . Cheers
January 6, 2015 at 2:44 pm
Ilove these show and the song
January 7, 2015 at 7:28 am
Thanks Shueb , cheers
January 7, 2015 at 1:15 am
Please, please, please release an extended version of theme. The whole family loves it, very haunting.
January 7, 2015 at 7:30 am
I intend to extend it into a full song , its taking time but hopefully we will get there . Cheers .
January 11, 2015 at 4:46 pm
Can I please reiterate that. I have just finished watching season two of Wentworth and have that song going in my head all day after watching. I just presumed it would be on itunes because it’s such a good song.Would love a whole song.
January 11, 2015 at 7:08 pm
Thanks Mikey , hopefully when school goes back we can get into it . Cheers
January 16, 2015 at 4:40 am
I looked it up because it sounded so familiar…came across this page reading the comments and whatnot and am glad ur gonna do a full version. Then it popped into my head what it reminded me of…especially in the beginning…reminds me of the nip tuck song.
January 16, 2015 at 8:04 pm
Gosh never heard that ‘ ill check it out .
January 16, 2015 at 6:49 pm
Seattle, here. I just finished binge-watching both seasons this last week. OMG it is a wonderful series, and I’m already going through DT’s to see the third. Like everyone else here, I tried to find the whole song until I found this site. I can’t wait to hear the new version for season three with the NIN vibe. Amazing work, all around.
January 16, 2015 at 8:03 pm
Thanks mims , i really hope a season 4 eventuates . You should start pestering the WW facebook page . Season 3 is awesome and coming soon . Cheers . Richard P
January 26, 2015 at 8:13 am
Love your music and what it does for the show.
January 26, 2015 at 8:53 am
Thanks Dale , i appreciate uour comment . Music plays a big part in the flavour of a film or series . Its a deal breaker for me , if i dont like the music or if there is too much music driving the narrative then i can’t get into the show . Thanks again .RP
February 8, 2015 at 8:47 am
I hope you do make this a whole song. Or just release it as is.
February 8, 2015 at 8:50 am
Thanks Dayna , I’m in the process of compiling and extending cues from all 3 seasons for an album . The opening song will get some treatment for sure . Cheers
February 14, 2015 at 6:25 am
I have just recently begun watching Wentworth and when I heard this tune I got hooked, I have searched so much after the full version and got really disappointed when I found your site saying that there isn’t one 😦 I love wentworth and I’m so excited for season 3!!! By the way, I’m from Sweden 🙂
Keep up the good work and pleeeeeeease make a full version of this! I freaking love it.
February 14, 2015 at 9:17 am
Hi Izabelle , I have made a full song . It will be released pretty soon . Check in occasionally for news . Cheers
March 9, 2015 at 12:58 am
Is the opening song to Wentworth season 2 a full track yet? Great work.
March 11, 2015 at 7:55 am
Yep Aaron , it’s a full song , hopefully the legal stuff will get sorted soon and it can be released . Season 3 is airing in April and I think the Track will surface then too .cheers
March 13, 2015 at 5:21 am
Hey Rich can we buy the full version of season 2 opener yet…really looking forward to purchasing it..
March 13, 2015 at 8:14 am
Hi Mike , I’m not sure on exact dates but the wheels ARE in motion . April most likely . Cheers
April 19, 2015 at 7:37 am
Love the show and the music! Great work.
Watching from Canada!
April 19, 2015 at 8:59 am
Thanks Angelina , that’s very exciting that the show reaches Canada ( a place I have always wanted to see ) it’s always been a dream of mine to get some work in Canada and live there for a 6 months or so . Gotta dream ! Rich
April 19, 2015 at 9:07 pm
Hi there!
Currently watching the show and love the song, but myself and some friends argue about why the actual lyrics are for the song.
I thought it says “I don’t own you” while my mates thought it was “I don’t know you”
Would love if you could clear this up and settle the argument!
Love the work!
April 20, 2015 at 4:42 pm
I think it’s ‘You don’t know me, When I don’t know you’ and then ‘You’re calling me in, you’re catching me out.’
Maybe a reference to getting arrested and sentenced?
I don’t know, but either way it’s as still as addictive as when I first posted 🙂
April 20, 2015 at 4:54 pm
Well done Paul you get the chocolates . And yes that what the intention of the lyrics are . It’s suggestive so I don’t want to say exactly what it’s about . A bit like a nursery rhyme . ️Rich
April 23, 2015 at 9:22 am
It’s April now…… is there a song release? I love love love the song.
April 23, 2015 at 12:44 pm
Hi Bronwyn , yes you can get it at the Itunes store , here is a link https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/wentworth-original-score-vol./id986460600
Cheers. Rich
April 23, 2015 at 1:23 pm
When will the song be released in the Canada ITunes?
April 23, 2015 at 1:25 pm
Hi Dayna , i dont know the answer to that but will try to find out . You could ask Fremantle directly .
have you tried the link i just added ?
April 23, 2015 at 1:30 pm
Yes that was the first thing I tried. I was sooo excited to see it was released. But the link said only available in Austraila.
May 4, 2015 at 6:01 am

June 3, 2015 at 10:46 pm
Yes, do a song! I have been googling the lyrics and was sad to find out it’s not a song. Anywho… I love love love Boomber! She’s the bomb!
June 3, 2015 at 10:49 pm
Hi keely , iris a full song and you can buy it on the iTunes Store Australia & UK . Cheers
June 17, 2015 at 3:07 am
Hi, anyone knows the opening music from season3? I mean the background music when we see “previous on wentworth”(for example s03e11). Sorry for bad english 😦
June 17, 2015 at 12:55 pm
Hi cshane , yes that music I wrote specifically for the recaps . Each episode’s recap is a little different in length so I usually tweak each one . Richard P .
