My upcoming concert: th-cam.com/video/KQwefZAdwmk/w-d-xo.html
When I was peering through the 60 sheet music submissions, at first I skipped over the piece because of how simple the score looked. But then when I was playing through each piece, I was immediately struck by how beautiful the melody was. After narrowing down my selection to 5 or so pieces, I finally decided on this one because the melody was simply stuck in my head all night
i didn't like it at first but in the middle 1:40 i started to like it a lot!!~ it feels so so so so so hopeful hahahah he must be really happy you have picked his ~ i think u are really nice using ur influence to spread the music , so more composers have a chance to shine ~~ that's so nice of you :) by the way, last time i asked if you can recommend some exercises for beginners, and you told me to message u on ur website, not sure if the message went thru... :) let me know thanks
This melody imprinted itself on my brain the first time you started playing it. It will be playing through my head tonight as I try to sleep
Some of the most beautiful songs ever composed thrive on their simplicity. Never underestimate the raw power of a naked melody crying out.
im just so amazed how a 13 year old can make this, the next ling ling.
theres only one problem with this peice, it ends.......
This kid has a real future ahead of him
I really do hope so
I want to marry him. I'll find him sometime I hope he will be a great musician.
O C E A N i really hope this happens! (if it does make sure to invite me to your wedding hehe)
@@ka-rina5078 ofcourse HAHAHAH
@@daniellacruz4369 um... what？
this is gorgeous. can’t believe it was written by someone so young. it goes to show that talent, creativity, and beauty exist even in dark times.
What how dark times?

This is the most beautiful anime outro I've ever heard
ikr
clearly you haven't watched ylia yet haha, that stuff will make you cry
Me: Having good self esteem
TH-cam: *A 13 year old Asian did something you could never do!*
You can do your own version of this. That’s the beauty of music
Mike H problem with that is if your melody sounds even remotely like another you’ll get crucified
Keyboard Warrior lmao ya, it’s beyond ridiculous. doing a cover in your own style is wrong somehow. I wonder what some people think music is supposed to be. If someone is willing to put their time and effort into recreating a song in their one image, it’s the ultimate gift to the person who wrote it. You loved it so much you wanted to make it your own, is that not the biggest compliment you can give?
@@keyboardwarrior6413 I hope you don't....I did it a lot at first, and I didn't get crucified...
That's how I feel on a daily bases
Argh, this is exactly the sound I'm trying to go for for years. But instead I always end up with stereotypical nonsense or edgy bs. If I can some day compose like this, I'll be able to die fulfilled.
Master of all Cephalopods: Comrade Zulaski Kaitzo i can fully relate to the edgy bs sound, i just can’t resist it haha i hate it
Prehaps it's the fact that he is younger that changes the way he composes Because of his smaller amount of life experiences and tragic events, he is able to compose less edgily, and just purely beautifully.
@@squidjaboy9350 Wouldn't judge it by the age. Though I was lucky enough to get my first major even when I was already 16, at thirteen years of age you may have already gone through a whole world of sh1t.
+ His piece shows a great deal of maturity.
Your pieces are good, i prefer your edgy style.
Master of all Cephalopods: Comrade Zulaski Kaitzo i feel you dude. But I’m happy that a piece that exists even when it wasn’t made by me
... A 13 year old composed this? Seriously...? It’s so beautiful, and they better be proud of this masterpiece. 🥺
Dont underestimate us kids
awww thanks!
Damn I'm 15 and I've never composed a piece this beautiful before... It's simply amazing how this kid didn't allow people to stop him for being so young. I think I want his autograph 🤔

Every time I'm close to tears. This bitter sweet melody represent perfectly the tragic beauty of live.
Like someone would say: "yes live is saddening from time to time. Yes sometimes it even hurts. But I will take the burden of all the sad things. I want to go through that, cause I know that this is a part of all the beauty in it to being alive. And that's all I want: to being a live!"
The fact that a 13 year old made this both inspires me and demolishes my self esteem.
Well played dude!
Self-esteem lives matter. Dont let it be destoyed by some rando on the internet!
man we suck, don't we?
I looked at the description while it was playing and found out what the title meant, and when the main melody started playing again, I genuinely got goosebumps.
Me too!
that title is grammatically incorrect, but hey I guess it still worked :p
@@MichaelShen I JUST noticed that you replied. TH-cam notifications are screwy.
I‘m so amazed that a 13 year old kid wrote this. It is simple yet so beautiful. It soothes and heals my soul
haha thanks so much!
That's so beautiful!
My partner said it reminded him of something from Studio Ghibli, and now i can visualise it along with the music. I wish I could draw...
Thank you, both player and composer x
OMG me too it really sounds like something joe hisaishi would make
They're actually kind of right. It would sound AMAZING if it was played in Studio Ghibli orchestra, and i can actually imagine this melody being in a Studio Ghibli movie.
Go practice drawing. You'll never develop something in an instant
I can draw a bit, if you want. I'm not bad....
Yes I absolutely agree!
This beautiful piece reminds me of Studio Ghibli soundtracks...Peaceful , a little bit sad but also a happy melody.
haha thanks!
@@MichaelShen AHHHHHH
it's bittersweet
@@MichaelShen autograph pls 🔖
This kid has a beautiful way of expressing his feelings : )
haha Thanks!
Ekkk Michael Shen love you
I subscribed to your channel
I look forward to seeing that boys future music
This song makes me imagine an adventurer of old returning from a journey remembering what they had lost, but using those losses as a source of strength to continue on
This amazing kid has found the melody I have been searching for my whole life
Im 17 and I cant even make a piece. Respect to the lad to composed this piece. This 13 yr old has inspired me to take up the piano once more
I love the way it sounds, it's beautiful!! It reminds me of something you would hear in a fantasy game or movie, or something like that, it's awesome!!!!
Thanks!!!!
Woah, I really ran out of words to describe how wonderful this sounds - it's so beautiful! I guess some things can only be expressed through music, not through language.
thanks so much!
This piece feels like a memory of sweet childhood innocence.❤
So beautiful so peaceful! Unbelievable it is from only 13 years old composer! He must have extremely talent of music gene! Congratulations! Thank you for playing his piece so emotionally and so beautiful!
I agree with Lionel this is one of the loveliest loveliest melodies ever! Super well done. Kudos Michael Shen. :-)
Every single second of this song is a masterpiece, but 0:27 - 0:35 just hits different
Great playing! And great job to the composer! It's very beautiful! Can't wait to see what he writes in the future!
I listen to this in the background while playing Sea Of Thieves. Theres just something beautiful about blasting pirates with cannon balls to classical piano.
This is really beautiful
Thanks!
That ending gave me goosebumps.
Ending on a minor like that is amazing I agree
The fact that 'shen' is the Chinese pronunciation of both sound and majestic makes this a whole lot more epic.

I could see this being in a Disney movie
yes Michael
I watched your "playing my fans' pieces 2" video and I loved it. It's so beautiful. It's also really impressive that someone who is 13 years old mad this beautiful piece. I really liked it and thank you so much for playing it beautifully again. 😇💕
This is just beautiful. It made me go back to my childhood, to remember when I first played a song in a piano, how I started to like to play the piano and the reason why I quit. Nowadays I would like to get into it again. This piece made me cry of happiness and sorrow...
I've had this on loop for 1 n a half hours already
To the creator of this beautiful song ( If you see this ) Thank you for this beautiful song. It has really inspired me to...well... just to be REALLY happy. This gets me excited when I just hear it ( like how a little kid sees Elmo on TV ) and being a 13-year-old myself and a musician, I hope you have a bright life. This song already gives me lots of hopes and wishes. So I wish you a great future and hope that you overcome any hardships or challenges that come your way. I know this is long but if you read this all the way through, Have a lovely day!
So beautiful just how....
I was literally so moved by the piece the first time I listened to it I cried. I wrote a little story/scene to go with each part of the music :)
Weeping tears of joy and worshiping God this is gorgeous!!!
Easily One of the better happy melodies I've heard
It has a vibe of anime or final fantasy music that I like very much, it's great !
I'm going through a stressful couple of weeks as I finish the last bits of dissertation work, and attempt a remote exam, as I finish my maths undergraduate/masters degree at home, 100 miles away from life at university. I am ok, but I have been overwhelmed a few times recently. This piece helps immensely. It makes me feel comforted and sentimental. Determined and supported. It has kept me together whilst reaching my limit. I had it set on loop and not once did I tire of it. For me, this piece rivals my favourite classical piece Clair De Lune. It is stunningly beautiful, thank you.
Listening to this makes me relaxed.
this is so calming! it's much appreciated during these hectic times :)
I still come back to this 2 years later. It saddens, empowers, and expresses so many emotions. To say I love it, is an understatement.
It’s a very beautiful song. It’s hard to tell but it sound like someone is taking care of you, teaching you some life lesson with very gentle voice, to be with you and tell you to go towards what you dreamed of. It a song tell you that you can either stay or step forward but always with someone standing behind.
Thank you for writing this song.
It feels so bittersweet and nostalgic, yet beautiful in every note. I love it, listening to this in loop for so long....
OMG cant believe this was written by a 13 year-old-child. You are simply talented and impressive to me
Thanks so much!
This melody really touched me. It starts off very calmly, you're having an enjoyable time with someone close. Then it changes to the sorrow of them fighting a disease or illness, and you know that soon you'll have to say goodbye. Then near the end... You let them go and in the end try to carry on.
Anyone else hear lord of the rings at the beginning?
Great piece by the way, it sounds amazing, good job Michael!
A beautiful music that fills me with emotion
this reminds me of every memorable moment I've experienced in my 13 years of existence
This is the reason I made an exclusive piano music Playlist on my Spotify. I love this piece so much, I can't stop listening to it
When I heard this in MusicalBasics I fell in love immediately ♥️♥️ I feel so good yet bad for myself, this kids as old as me yet a bright future ahead him is already peeking,,, low-key legitimately fell in love😆♥️❣️
Beautiful!! The next Bach or Chopin is what we just heard! Bravo!!!
damn this song is worth to be mentioned in the Hall of Fame
3 years ago i quit playing piano out of frustration of being a perfectionist. this song has inspired me to learn more music. thank you
3 weeks later and i've learned the entire song. thank you for reigniting my passions
this sounds like it would be used in some drama or something as a theme
Most musicians show some sort of skill early on, so I can't say I'm surprised. That being said, I do hope he makes a good career out of this skill. Here's hoping to hear his compositions on the radio someday soon!
I listen to this when writing for two of my favorite characters, the two that symbolize youth and age, innocence and experience, love and loss, and growth in both times. The grandfather and the granddaughter, seeing life from the others’ eyes.
Yooo bruh, the moment it begins, i can feel the warmth and the major-ity of the notes, its just beautiful and I am amazed this is written by a 13 year old.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
@Hiền Nguyễn Thu nah its definitely in c major, tho i get it feels minory
no words to be said. just know i cried.
Every time that i close my eyes hearing this song , a little movie about a childhood love starts playing and i always cry
00:00 it starts with the two playing as children's, being close while they grow up.
00:45 it stats to pick up the pace showing there life's slowly separating do to college, work and another thing , and i just see them remembering one another and missing those days.
01:25 its there lowest point in early adulthood just being burnt-out with life, and finding one another by accident.
01:40 the spark of joy of find each other, getting to talk about life and remembering how it was good to be together.
01:58 images of them dating , going on vacations, marrying and having children's.
02:30 the two already old , sitting on a porch together, seeing ther kids playing with ther own chindren and felling happy.
02:57 and image of there graves with flowers , and memorys of the past passing behind ;^;
This piece is so beautiful. It brought me back to what was simultaneously the best and worst day of my life, as one bad event turned out to be the true start of my recovery from mental illness
I hope the kid who wrote this knows how incredible this is. It really touched me in a way that very few songs have. Keep writing, you’ve got an amazing talent :)
Me: O_o I wanna learn dis :)
My fingers: ... *aight I’m out*
Just goes to show you that sometimes the most beautiful things, are the most simple.
we all had shivers when hearing this for the first time.
I swear dude like every time I listen to this I just cry 🥺😂 it’s such a meaningful song, so beautiful.. if you gather some memories up and sort them out with the sound of the music then that’s where everything hits different 🥺 love it 😥❤️
this is very inspiring to me. i’m 15 years old and self taught at piano so i kind of struggle especially with motivation but this piece somehow really inspired me. it’s one of the most beautiful pieces i’ve heard i can’t even explain what this did to me.
I love the start so much!
This piece reminds me of my depression. Finding it hard to be strong, have hope and faith but still trying to remain graceful. Like throughout the song it feels like someone loosing themselves, their hope and faith and then something coming along and pushing them again.
Omg I just turned 14 and there’s no chance I could make something as beautiful as that. He’s going to be very successful 👍
Elliott Thompson Happy Birthday! I just turned 14 yesterday, so... I guess that makes us birthday buddies! 😆❤️
Kayleigh Zuniga haha! Happy birthday for yesterday! Hope you enjoyed it even in these times 👍😭😷
This is too beautiful... I cried😭❤️
This is my most favorite piece of all time, I’m a weekly listener😌
this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard... I cant stop listening to this XD
Amazing
Genuinely feels like a soundtrack for a show
I love the calm of this song😍😍
I feel like this boy has a beautiful heart to be able to compose such lovely and gentle and heart warming song piece that has a gorgeous flow of story of the music ^_^ I love it so much.
Woah happy birthday to this song✨❤
1:07 Goosebumps.
I am a 13 year old boy that started learning piano a while ago and I’ve played many pieces but this song touched me and I want to learn many more songs like this
1:39 if The Lord of the Rings was an anime
oh yeah I can hear that!!!
Well I have a new favorite piece
its a very beautiful piece and Micheal is a very talented person congratulations to him for making this absolutely gorgeous piece.
this sounds like something out of piano tiles, and I mean that in the absolute best way possible
Have heard this the second time now and just like when I first listened to it. This piece still makes me feel loneliness and longing for something I don't know and it truly hurts so much. And I have no clue why.
Reminds me of farewell at the foot of a hill, love it
Wow such a talented guy
Still love this song!!!!
When im thinking of life is meaningless. i can see whats the value of life whats in it and why we are here sparkling in a dark room.and know the value of life treasure all of it because even if life is meaningless choosing to live is greater than losing.
im gonna cry
This piece gave me inspiration to write my own this is beautiful.
This made me cry-
I was like choking choking choking until i cry
I am currently composing a song called once more. the melodies have seen me through much of my life, have seen so much pain. It really is a part of my life now. I hope it can reach my silent influence, beyond the light of day...
besides I'm 14 so maybe..?
Oh my, such a relaxing and exquisite piece ! That's trully amazing !
God bless
Sounds really good
