• "From the Ground Up" -...
Hi everyone! This is another Minecraft inspired song. But it also has to do with how and why people choose whether or not to rebuild significant things in their lives. I really hope you enjoy it. Since this is an original song of mine, if you liked it, it would mean so much to me if you could tell folks about it through Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. Thank-you so much for your support ^_____^
released 22 November 2012
Composed/Performed/Produced by Laura Shigihara (a.k.a. supershigi, hehe)

🌻Hi everyone, thank-u for listening to my music :)
I wanted to share with all of you that I made a new game called Mr. Saitou:
store.steampowered.com/app/628740/Mr_Saitou/
I love listening to your music, for years when you released this song I listened to it, but I didn't have a TH-cam account. Now that I can write, I'm still your fan. great job
:)
oh my god, did you make the original soundtrack for plants vs zombies? I... I don't know how to express how shocked I feel at this moment... your voice is incredible!
hahahaha I felt nostalgia hit me hard, you... you are incredible, my respects to you. =D
@@playergamwr3539 More than just "liked" - Laura IS the one who made music for Plants vs Zombies. And she did the voice of the sunflower.
You rock!
Ahhh this is still so amazing, Laura! I love going back and listening to your songs :) I remember when you first showed me the early build of this and I instantly fell in love again! It was a wonderful experience working with you. Every single time! Also I hope you don't mind me saying, but you look really beautiful here :) I'll continue to look forward to more of your amazing work :D
What memories I have of hearing this beautiful song, it gives me much nostalgia (It's been 4 years since I first heard it , Thanks laura and slamacow) :,)
Slamacow still alive uh?😂👍
I come back to this song every few months, it hasn't got old yet.
I come back every now and then too. Still amazing
I made the mistake of mixing this with the rakuen ending mentally and almost started crying again. But think about what parts of this could mix with rakuen, as though "boy" was singing this to a still-living sue as they sail away.
At least this video hasn’t been flagged for kids and disabled comments like the music video. So here we can praise the music video and the song as much as we want
yeah - that flagging of videos for kids is just a stuuuupid move by TH-cam
@@yash1152 They are destroying themselves. We need a TH-cam equivalent run by and for the viewers and creators.
Yep
something something dislikes something something.
@@ARandomSpace so we need a russian revolution but in youtube?
How did I even dare to forget the existance of this piece of art?!
YOU DID FORGET?!
yo same tho
this was completely wiped from my memory, only found it because I was looking through playlists on my old youtube channel
Yeah What's Wrong With You
HOW DARE YOU
If anyone is still here, I miss you. I wish I could go back to those days when I was so carefree. When the biggest worry I had was not being able to play with my friends on Minecraft on the 360. Those days are long gone, but god I miss it. The nostalgia hits me so hard. I’m so glad I got to experience this with you all...
We are veteran
I 100% agree
I miss this, every year i still check his channel :(
I miss him uploading more videos
And we're still waiting
@@haoshoku1175 th-cam.com/video/bPirvZzGFBE/w-d-xo.html
honestly, i really miss good old times when i play with my friends in minecraft, but now we are all going on our way separately.
Listening to this 9 years later fills me with a sense of nostalgia.
try 11 mate... 11 years of wonder, honestly one of my favorite MC songs, surpassing that of Revenge and Takeback the night and the more famous ones
@@jordanvienneau9178bro it's been 2 year 😭
@@jordanvienneau9178 im also here on 11 years mate and same bro it still is a great song
It hits me so hard for some reason. Like this was a song I was bumping but when I hear it it drags me back to those days.
She has a really angely voice.
I dont understand why singers like that cant get famous :(
Im really late. But for one thing, she hasn't done a show with no clothes on, and 2) the music industry only likes whiny voices.
Yes. That's why I don't pay attention to the mainstream music (ech, that sounded hipster-y), but some still trickles through sometimes.
Pamuklu Seker Because 90% of people have shit taste and today's mainstream music is corrupted by shit.
Money
She is famous just not in the mainstream whore market but more in the film video game cultural market. The only two places where you can still hear great music nowadays.
Hi everyone! Wanna see me perform this song live? At www.twitch.tv/supershigi I perform From the Ground Up, Cube Land, music from Plants vs. Zombies, Deltarune and many other video game/animation tunes! Hope to see you there! And thank-u for all the kind comments over the years. I'm so thankful to be able to still be making video game music and original songs. I'll try to keep everyone updated on my new projects over at twitter.com/supershigi
You’re the best
i hope years from now, i can look back at this time with the same nostalgia that your music has given to so many people here all those years ago. It really is such an incredibly amazing creation

😱😱
Definitely
I was busy 1 ur ago sorry
The thing that makes this one of the best Minecraft songs is how easy it is to seperate from the context of Minecraft. You can sing this without anyone cringing at the word "Diamond" and not liking your performance as a result. The lack of anything concrete related to Minecraft is what makes this a great song.
A good wisdom from engineer gaming
@@mastermuffles7097
Indeed, we can learn much from engineer gaming.
I am confused. What does this have to do with minecraft?
@@Thebenjiball0 th-cam.com/video/MLKFtIC2Idw/w-d-xo.html
there's a Minecraft video with this song
At first i thought it was a PvZ song because of some of the sounds that it uses and how similar the lyrics sound to the game, but then i saw the description saying that it was inspired by minecraft
you have a voice of an angel
I'd call that an understatement, but that would be an understatement of its own
No, her voice is like a sunflower

I'm literally crying of nostalgia after listening to this. Seriously, it's been ages since I've listened to this masterpiece!
Devine, just beautiful...
She should get a deal with minecraft, or rather the movie for the soundtrack.
You know like she did with Plants vs Zombies
Thank-you for your kind words :) If you're interested, I actually ended up working with C418 on the ending theme song of the Minecraft movie. The song we did is called "Tsuki no Koibumi" and you can listen to it on youtube or on C418's bandcamp page. Hope you have a great day!
Thank you dearly for the information, I look forward to hearing it.
Have a grand day

It didn't go well.
Mind if I drop this here?
Lyrics:
(verse 1)
Yesterday it rained
Watched everything wash away
It took some time to dry
Before I could feel okay
I used all my tools
Foundation of clay
You kept digging this hole
But climbing's not my forte
(pre-chorus)
Take what you need
We can fight our enemies
But we have to hurry before
the world crumbles around us
(chorus)
Take my hand
We can build a land from the ground up
I don't even mind
leaving it behind us
Watch and wait and work until it all falls down
(verse 2)
Today the sky fell
Clouds in disarray
I put back all the blue
Before the sun could complain
There were stars everywhere
Zombies at my gate
Now that the end is near
Nothing left to do but wait
(pre-chorus 2)
Are we prepared?
Are we there?
Do you even care
Now I am afraid, but it's okay
The world crumbles around us
(repeat pre-chorus and chorus)
I favorite part is "Are we there? Do you even care?"

@@mj-zv6ok hello to you too :D
damn, so long ago.... 8 years and its still sounds just as amazing.
Aaaaahhhhh this is just so nostalgic, I used to hear this song every single day when I was just a little kid playing Minecraft. I didn't even understand English pretty well at that moment lmao just vibin' with the melody and her amazing voice.
After so long, TH-cam still suggests your songs when I need them most. I really really appreciate all your hard work and everything you do to create these amazing pieces of music
After all these years, it's still something I come back to listen to, and tear up after hearing it again. I get nothing but good, positive feelings about this song, and am still so grateful/glad you made it. Thank you. ❤️
I haven’t heard this song in over ten years so I fully understand you. Childhoods were built by people like this. It’s so hard to believe that it’s been that long since I saw this because I was playing the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft when this came out along with other Minecraft Hits.
your voice is FANTASTIC
this still hits hard 😢
I was 9 when this song first came out. Now 20 and this song is still constantly on my mind. Its crazy how well this aged. I sincerely thank you for a core memory in my childhood.
11 years 6 days old. i remember listening to this in middle school. didnt really play minecraft a whole lot in high school, everything associated with middle school tends to end up being kinda cringe, but the past couple years ive been getting back into it and now everything from those early(-ish) days of the game are cozy and comforting but really sad. can never really go back to that same feeling of discovery and simple wonder, as much as i hugely appreciate a lot of the additions and improvements made since.
i love people that sayd " 2015 and i still listen to this song!" LOL when a song is nice you'll probably listen to that forever.
like a lot of famous great songs.
Yup
andrea piro wow almost a whole year since I posted the reply to this comment!! I didn't even remember I posted this till I scrolled down the comments!
2017 now and still listening XD
Learn English.
@@monomii2841 Shut up,redditor.
POV: You remember something beutiful
Crazy that it's been ten years. Feels like only yesterday when this masterpiece was composed.
It's already 2022 and this still brings emotions I can't describe properly.
YOU ARE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN
Best singer I've ever heard, and I bet I'll ever hear!
Ohmygoodness its been 8 YEARS????
I remember listening to this when i was 10
I didn't notice this was 11 years ago until I saw the date; you look the exact same. Your voice and soul are both so beautiful!
wow amazing ❤
Her voice gave cube land and from the ground up life . Melancholic and joyful at the same time :( i dont how to explain the feeling lol . Youre awesome Laura :)
OMG that sound was beauty flying in my ear wow calm down
she must of been training for years to get that sound I loved that sound oh my goodness
best sound I have ever heard
HOW THO
8 years later. Nostalgic as ever. I was 13 when this came out, and I was all over minecraft at the time.
I'm turning 20 today...
It's been a wild ride so far...
I just want to thank you for making such great music that has been serving as part of my life's soundtrack since '09.
Nearly 8 years already?! Getting goose bumps, just like when I first discovered the music video. I love your work Laura! Keep up the great work!!
I'm a teenager when I first listen to this song, now I'm a family man I'm still listening to this art
Wow this was the start of the immersive internet.
Indeed
2015 and I'm still listening this song haha
I really love +supershigi
Me to
Me 2!!!
+ZeroPor7 same
2016 now ;D LOVE IT
+Emily Perry yahh
i love this song so much but it's so painfully nostalgic for me. i have sad memories attached to this song, it reminds me of when my cat died when i was young and i always come back here to have a cry. this song & cube land have helped me through my later grief of losing a parent. it's been 2 years since my aunty died as of yesterday and i'm still so emotionally confused. i find it hard to grieve or get my feelings out. even though this is a minecraft song, it's really helped me to manage and release all my confusing negative emotions. thank you for this beautiful song ~ i'll always come back here
Little me who did not speak english did not understand a single word years ago, but I recently remembered that song and have been listening to it a lot :D It's really comforting to me so I was happy to find it back.
Change one word in the song, and this instantly becomes a radio hit.
This song is a masterpiece
What word?
wow amazing voice
Who played Plants vs Zombies? The credits are pretty cool! And this song too!!! And more songs even... All made by Laura Shigihara and "all" pretty AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
This songs reminds me so much of plants vs zombies
I will really appreciate a remake of this masterpiece
Laura Shigihara is one of those people that you can't help but look at her mouth when she sings. I'm not weird, it's just that everyone has a different mouth shape and it's interesting to see what everyone's looks like when they speak. You have a nice mouth Laura... Ok, now I realise how wrong that sentence sounded. WHEN SHE SINGS!!!!
Ash Briana
thanks for not being the usual type of person in the youtube comments who just tells you you're wrong for the sake of doing so. And yeah, i guess it sounds wrong. but maybe that depends on how you word it.
Ash Briana
bye
I just realised after reading your comment that I do it too, but only f(x)'s Amber~
Caramelzip5 Sims hahahaa!! 😂😂😂😂😂 ahhh.... lol
I wish this video would get more views than Slamacow, but, animation does get the upper hand.
That is actually so true.
so true i feel the same i mean slamacow has more subs and veiws on all his vids mostly because of the singers like her and skydoesminecraft and some others slamacow only does animation but doesn't deserve all the credit it is just music videos that he does bacicly
Who really cares? They credit each other, it was a team effort, so they both get the same respect.
Humans are visual. We pay more attention to the video than the song, and it's really not fair.
Suga
It's been so long since I first heard this song. Reminiscing on the music you produced and how I loved it, and I still enjoy it. Now I find myself looking forward to your game Rakuen. You've come a long way Laura, keep at it!
Laura... You are so amazing... Amazing voice... Amazing song... Amazing harmony... I can go on and on.
I listen to your songs every day and they're so beautiful. I'm so glad I started Minecraft, so I found your channel when looking up Minecraft songs.
Thanks for making my day better, every single day!
aw :)
This is my childhood
Love your work Laura
so youtube just randomly suggested this video to me, and honestly, I think this was just what I needed to cheer me up. would love to hear some more of your angelic voice
I've been listening to this song for years! How has this not reached, like, at least a million views already?!?! She's amazing and deserves more recognition!!!
Can’t believe i first heard this a whole 7 years ago. Only feels like it’s been 2 years
Just waiting for this to be the theme for the Minecraft movie.
idk if it will ever happen but if it does it will be pretty cool
Beautiful and an amzaing voice, damn
Amazing**
Epicesify '-'
What?
Epicesify '-' again.
So I can't be nice to people anymore?
Her vocals are just so amazing! 👌 I can never imagine someone as better as her! Make your voice into a music carrier!
I can´t belive its been 9 years since I first heard this song. Looking back I miss those days but at the same time I can reflect on how much I´ve grown as a person and only smile to be fortunate enough to have been raised with such amazing memories.
Thanks for being part of my childhood.
YOU ARE MY CHILDHOOD ISTG❤❤❤
I'm back after 8 years
This is so nostalgic, i can't-
My childhood, thank you for everything
So I've noticed something through many of your songs-you tend to sing about companionship and the need to have friends/family/people in your lifeyou sing about emotionsand how people impact those emotionsand how you impact those people and just-bless you
laura shigirara,your voice is so beautiful!
after all these years... I still know all the words :')
Such a masterpiece, It brings me right back to those days. This is an amazing song.
The first time i heard this song I was all like: That voice sounds like angels are singin' right next to me.
Very nice song :D
you are one of the most Pefect Singer i have ever heard
So I was today years old that I found out that you, the one who sing this amazing song, also are the voice behind the voice of singing the lyrics of Don't Forget-Deltarune. As soon as I saw the name and heard the voice I was like omg!! She's the one who sang that one Minecraft song! I used to listen to this song a bunch as well as watch the animated video a lot when I was younger and used to watch all the old MCYT's. God those were the days. I'm older and in college but I'm glad was able to hear the song once more and come across you again.
This is giving me nostalgia of the first time I heard this on the minecraft music video!
I am in love with your voice.
What an amazing job! Omg, I have listened to this song, probably 50xs and I'm still loving it! :D So subbing!
Yeah me too
Me too :p
Applekinz YEAS
(YES)!!*!!

i was on my way to search something else, and than this came up. woah, you threw me back long enough to forget what i were searching for XD... i love it and all of your songs i heard when i was about 7 years old. keep up the good work!
OH LAWD! that was so beautiful ,that just ...holified my ears
Yesterday was tough but we have to hurry before the world falls around us. Live today as best as you can!
Omg, u were the vocalist in this song?! My sister used to play this song all the time, and I memorised most of it immediately. I forgot about it for a while and now when I find it, I don't see the video, I watch this one. You are now officially a part of my childhood. Good job!
i love that cute voice.. its really hard to get one of that singer its one of a kind
You're one of the best singers i've ever heard
Brooooo, listening to these Minecraft OG songs and parodies making me shed tears rn. Ahhh the memories of my childhood
You are awesome, discovered you in TO THE MOON, which was the most emotional game experience I've ever had in 36 years of playing games...thank you for your passion and your talent!
Slamacow did a animation of this and he also liked your videos days ago
You must be new here...
slamacow brought me here!
Also me... Love your singing... :)
Ryermeke ehat do you mean new???
Anh Tuan me too
2019? Still love this masterpiece 🔥💖
I met this song by slamacow 7 years ago, and now, one day after the 10th anniversary of Minecraft, I'm listening it one more time, this is amazing like the first time I listened to it, your voice, the instrumental, and also you. Thanks for doing incredible songs like this one.
For me, she's an icon of videogames.
I just realised that this song was released near my birthday. I know it's too late, but I just want to say thank you to Laura Shigihara for this beautiful song. It's a great birthday present. I wish I'd realised that back in 2012.
I was 11 year old when this song came out this is still a banger
This song never gets old. It is beautiful. I absolutely Love Shigihara sans voice.... she can sing amazing in Japanese too.
2021 Gang. Never forget this masterpiece. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years haha...
This girl will always be one of the best singers!
I love her work
i dont have the sufficient words to express what feelings you made me feel when i was listening to your precious and beutiful voice i suppose the only word i can use right now is WOW you sing like an angel lady congratulations and dont stop singing cus i feel you ll have a lot of future in this world named music, by the way i want to congratulate you at the same time because your interpretation its very good to so please make me a favor and dont stop :3 your voice is unique its the most beautiful i ve never heard before
Hey shigi! Is it at all possible for you to upload this on spotify? It's literally an amazing song and I'd love to listen to it on spotify!
Thanks so much! We actually did upload it to Spotify last year! You can find it here: spoti.fi/2RArFtO
I love this song, because it has accompanied me since childhood and when I listen to it it makes me think of a lot of memories.
This suddenly popped back up in my recommended today. This is quite the blast from the past
your voice is so smoothing to hear!!
She has a beautiful voice. She has talent in her. Great Job =)
Insanely nostalgic..
The probably best childhood about minecraft songs is this one it bring soo much many memories back
