One who is truly passionate about a music in games cannot make a "simple song of healing cover". And Kyle Landry is with out a shadow of a doubt, truly passionate about such wondrous things.
I found this song looking for the original 10 years ago after I became a single dad. This song anchored me through the pain and hurt. It took me through it. And now. I will never forget it.
My mother passed away last year after over a decade of fighting severe illness... I still have nightmares about watching her struggle for her life in that hospital bed. It's taking me a long time to truly accept everything that happened, and I feel like this song helps and expresses that acceptance. Life can be a beautiful, cruel and tragic thing. None of us honestly know why we're here or what happens after death. If you have someone in your life who loves you, please don't take them for granted. Thank you, Kyle Landry, for this amazing rendition.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love. Life is tragic and confusing but it’s also amazing. This song encapsulates so many of those feelings. I know your mom is watching from above, I hope you’re able to find some peace. Take it one day at a time, be honest with your emotions, and give yourself grace❤️
Anyone else return to this at least several times a year? Best version of the Song of Healing tbh. Seriously brings me to tears when I need this song the most. Thank you, Kyle - you have no idea.
brought me to my knees crying, literally. one of my very closest friends passed away six months ago. he shot himself. and majoras mask was one of his very favorite games of all time, and this song may have been his favorite. i subscribe to the theory that this games theme is about finding peace with ones death, and life after it. the battle for internal, spiritual peace. and when i hear this song, i hear that struggle. i hear that melancholy we all feel deep within us. the unrest of things lost, and things unfinished. but when i hear you play it kyle, it makes me feel that he found peace. And it brings me to my knees knowing that I've lost, but one day i believe ill see him again. i realize this sounds cliche, and silly. plus I'm a little emotional, so that doesn't help. but i want to say thanks kyle. for playing this song the way it was meant to be played. to heal those with wounds, and sadness. to bring peace, after tragedy. thanks kyle.
then this song must be what raging from kygo is to me, it is like one month back now since my gf moved to the other side of the world with her and her parents did not give her a choice about staying. But basicly this song was playing in the party where i confessed my love to her. So i don't know exacly what you are going through while hearing this but i'm close
I broke down too, my girl friend of 4 years and I shared this game and many amazing Zelda memories and songs together. I thought she was absolutely perfect and I lost her. This song is a reminder of all the good times we shared and now I'm broken listening to the song of healing waiting for answers. I hope his song sets me free
The emotional response this song triggers in the minds of many people in the comment section really is a testament as to the power of video games as an art form and means of communication. Even playing this song backwards, it still conveys a message that is (grotesquely, if played backwards) beautiful in a way. You have to stand in awe and what this song- but a pattern of a few simple, repeated notes - does to people. Truly amazing !
Chris Spreitzer Definitely didn't. It literally happened. I thought of a second pun that I debated writing as well, but I figured the truth was better. Pun #2 - I was having sex to this song once... and now this will always be the song of squealing. When you're jokes are as dad level as mine, a pun like this is easy to make. Not copied. Just easy.
I return to this song when I'm in that season. We've all been to that season. This is me returning to it now. only to listen and remember all of the other times I was at this same video a time before and before. It helps me remember that just how I would return to this video when I was sinking, I could also rise out of whatever I was in at the moment. This video actually heals me. and Just as i'm returning to the video now for healing, I'm sure I will be back. Thank you for this video , Kyle. What was just a simple piano zelda medley turned into one of my major coping mechanics. The power of TH-cam. I love you all.
According to TH-cam, I'm replying to you a year after you made this comment. I hope you are alright. And it's ok to be on the season. I mean, there's this hylian who can *heal* you.
@@thedankhaloring9175 I've played quite a few by now. Ocarina, Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild have a special place in my heart, but playing through Majora's, learning about the characters and their stories, it "healed" me in a sense as well. It's truly a work of art :)
After 3 years my girlfriend ended our relationship. I am devastated and depressed, almost drop out of every project I was... My life will never be the same, I am scared of the future but then I listened to this song. You touched my heart with your play. I'm still afraid, but now I remember there is a lot to go on with life. This is a really healing song, because it healed me. Thanks a lot.
This is basically the only thing my heart can relate to right now. Zelda is my favorite game series, brought to me by my grandma. We played every game together, she would watch and help as we both enjoyed the thrill. I'm 25 now and I miss her dearly. Your key strokes help me dearly. I hope you continue on.
This song is so numbing... Just wish I had the attention span to say how this song makes me feel. It's sad, then happy, and then Kyle messes with our heads and puts kokiri theme in there... ;) It's like losing someone you love more than anything in the world and they're just happy they got the chance to be with you... You're sad but happy that you have the memory of true happiness. Content in your sadness that you once knew happiness.
The Blorp they said it wasn't by him because this is his arrangement, not composition. Saying it's his composition implies he composed it. I know it's nitpicking but that's why Syed responded that way lol
This piece is absolutely stunning, and it does for me exactly what its canonical purpose is: healing for those in grief. My father died three days ago, and I've felt quite lost since then. I've been trying to write a testimony at his funeral, but words are escaping me. The Song of Healing is quite magical in the fact that it's helping me come to terms with it, even if it's slow. Thank you for posting this. It's been helping me through one of toughest moments in my life.
every time I find myself in a rough spot in life, I come back to this video. It does what it is named for: It heals. I have not lost my father yet but when that day comes, this song will get me through. I am sorry for your loss and hope all is well bro. Cheers
A soothing melody that puts restless souls at ease, giving them the respite they have longed for. This song is more than notes played on an instrument, it is a song of grief, a song of acceptance. Slow and melodic, this song is not about the body, but the soul. It clears our eyes where doubt remains, soothes the anger in our hearts, answers our bargains, lifts us from our depression, and waits for us at acceptance. All things must pass. Passing is the only absolute. We must not fear it, but come to accept loss within ourselves. It is only then that we can move on from our sorrow.
same here. The best pianist I've ever seen, even taking into account the classic masters, the way he can perfectly translate not only the sound but the feel of a song onto the piano... He deserves a lot more attention than he receives
I feel as if this song is the only Song appropriate to commemorate the Life and Legacy of Satoru Iwata... RIP, Iwata-senpai.....you will be missed dearly, not only by family and staff, but by your loyal fans worldwide... *Whenever there is a meeting, a Parting is surely to follow...However, that Parting need not last forever.* -Happy Mask Salesman
This is beautiful. Just insanely beautiful. Makes me feel sorry for people who will never understand just how impactful video games can be in one’s life.
I will tell my story, I had a tragic event in my life last year and nothing has ever been the same since that happened, I lived in a lie for almost a year and one day I just started listening to this song and suddenly all the sorrow and pain in my heart started flowing, I cried for hours and I finally got over my traumatic experience, I'm so thankful believe me and thanks to this song, I don't know what it has, it made me get out my feelings and go on.
When I first played this game at around the age of 12 I didn't really appreciate how emotionally powerful some of the tracks were. After replaying the game over 10 years later hearing this song really hit me hard considering the context of the many tragedies involved in the game. You help all of these individuals one by one, all for naught, because in the end they face the same bitter end.
Listening to this makes me feel like my childhood has been restored, and I don't mean that in a witty way. Majora's Mask struck something deep inside of me when I was very young, partly regarding the skull kid's loneliness. Lately, I've been going through a rough time in my life and stress keeps catching up with me, but as soon as I came across this, I felt the innocence of my childhood sort of flourish within me. I feel like everyhing's gonna be alright. Honest to God, I feel healed. Thank you so much for making this, it's absolutely beautiful and it helped me a lot. Keep up your talent :)
My life has been like that too man, I just wish j could go back to when I would play at my grandparent's house down the street with my cousins without a worry in the world =') good times. But now it is a mess and now I have too many things wrong that it is hard for me to be truly happy. Hope you get through your bad times and always remember the good ones
Majora's Mask is about trauma. How we are given the choice to accept it as it is or be defiant in the face of it. This choice plays out in many questlines of the game such as Mikau etc. The game shows, as is true irl, that it is not trauma that defines us but our willingness to seek our own necessity in defiance of it. Majora's Mask is all about reclaiming that sense of human dignity and respect in spite of a nihilistic world. Link is flawlessly victorious because he was willing to give it all away to save Termina. The same way he went for broke to save Hyrule. Suffering is temporary. But glory is forever. Greater glory to Hyrule and its Knight. My soul is no longer in a coma!
the song just emanates nostalgia on ones heart. it's so beautiful it feels as if you are truly being healed. the pain endured in life, this song feels like it brings you at ease.
Kyle, im a grown 32 yr old man, and i find myself tearing up. the emotion behind your keys. cant help but think of my late mother and fallen comrades. life is bitter sweet my friend. ty
Some people can play a song and make it sound Ok, but if you really put your heart and soul into the song like this guy, it becomes pure art. Well done Kyle..
Thank you so much for this. When my family had to put down our dog, my life imploded, and yet stayed the same. Inside, I was completely crushed, and cried for hours. Every time I walked through the door, I was tortured by the fact that one dog was missing. And all the while, I watched my family suffer. Despite this, I still had to grind through sophomore year with several AP classes and no room for academic downturn. This song became a cornerstone in my life, reflecting my grief in just the way that it was lessened. Hearing such a soulful rendition warms my heart. Truly, what a soothing melody.
You've taught me something, Kyle. You play piano for a living, it's your profession. I can't expect to ever be as good as you unless I devote my life to piano like you have. That goes for anything; if you want to be the best, you have to devote you life to it. Keep up the amazing work, bud!
***** You can always learn. I started teaching myself how to play Piano by ear a few years ago, and I'm relatively good... I'm no concert pianist, but I can play the songs I want to.
I am going through such a hard time with the COVID symptoms and this masterpiece of yours helped me find peace while I listened to every second of it. I want to get better soon but it is just so hard. Everyday the coughing gets harder and harder. I will keep listening to this song
@@JamesMoney thank you very much. Definitely, it's been a hard year for us too. I wish you guys the best and hope you heal your wounds with time. Greetings in from Ensenada, Baja California México
I had it recently and it was hell. Thank god I was better for my birthday and christmas though. Mine wasn't a cough, just an extremely bad sore throat, shivers and the like. My throat was so bad that I literally didn't sleep properly for 3 straight days. The first day I didn't actually get to sleep at all. It was genuinely the worst sore throat I've ever had in my life. Glad it's over now!
I'm currently going through my "per-decade-obsession" with childhood nostalgia. Binge-watching cover songs of Legend of Zelda music, and getting unimaginable chills while hearing these songs. Ahhh, what a great time. Except, I need to write my final project for my degree, before my first child is born (due date in 2 weeks), and I'm here procrastinating (which I thought I was done with for good)😂 But wow, I love watching these videos and getting those nostalgic feels!!!!
everyone’s talking about the song being depressing, but I don’t see it that way. I think the song is supposed to be nostalgic. The entire game is built on time and memories, so it would make sense to be nostalgic. It’s called the song of healing, why would it be depression? The song is supposed to heal you from darkness. Every time you use it, it’s to soothe someone’s worries, negativity, sadness, by reminding them of their best, happiest memories, of the people they care about, the things they care about. That’s what makes the song so beautiful, that’s what its purpose is. It shows you how much your memories affect you. It shows you that it’s okay to be reminiscent, that you should think back and see what makes you happy, to understand how much you love something or someone, and that even when it’s gone, you shouldn’t get yourself stuck in missing that, but to feel glad for the happiest memories you’ve made. This kind of nostalgia is for life and death. Compared to that, depression is shallow. This song is beautiful.
The way you put your emotion and focus on the piece is so beautiful; fantastic job. A piece is all the better when the artist can put their heart and feelings in a piece. Really makes it enjoyable.
This was beyond amazing and, by far, the most emotional experience I've ever had watching anything on youtube. You, sir, have an incredible talent. You've captured two of my most beloved things (Zelda and piano) and made them into one melodious video. You took my heart and crushed it into a thousand crying pieces, put it back harmoniously, and made it laugh (with the unexpected incorporation of Saria's Song. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're as beautiful as the music you play.
I don't log into my youtube account very often, but after watching this I felt obligated to come here and say "WOW". But now that I'm writing this, I think a "Thank you" is more appropriate : )
was just casually browsing the web while music played in background then this came on and oh god feels, he played it with such vigor and emotion I was just, stunned.
Wow... nice arrangement!!! I really loved the lost woods and Zelda's lullaby part and how you keep the escence and mysticism of healing song. Simply amazing. Bravo!!
Amo leer los comentarios de vídeos de música de este estilo, especialmente de Zelda. Me hace descubrir lo que la música puede causar en las personas. Luego reviso mis sentimientos y me emociono. Lo que es el ser humano...
I'm still crying. my grandma passed away few months ago and since that moment I was so sad about that and all the time when I remembered her I cried but now when I heard this masterpiece I feel that my grandma is with me and she is happy wherever she is now this really is a healing song. I just want to say thank you. thank you because I feel better with my self now and with that things that made me feel bad. than you very much!!!
This was aboslutely incredible, the amount of emotion into this is outstanding... You are a true virtuoso and surely a brave heart. Thank you very much, cheers friend.
めんやー 64 I wouldnt say nostalgic, couse I naver completed the games, my father hear it too and he felt the same hole inside, and he dosent know a thing about zelda games. Its just kinda creepy :l
This is a master work. I can't go a week with out listening to this or an other of Kyle's compositions. I feel blessed that I stumbled upon his works years ago.
0:03 - I wake up. Open my eyes, but can't see nothing. It's all dark. I'm confused. How did I end up here? I stand up and yell for help. Nothing. I start walking, stretch my arms but find only dead air. Nothing. There is only darkness, I'm all alone. I start running and screaming for help. Please, there's gotta be someone! Please, don't let me stay here! I lose my balance and stumble, fall breathless on the ground. Only then I realize I'm crying. I'm lost. 1:27 - I sit down, numb. The only thing I feel are tears slowly crawling through my face. I don't know what to do. What am I gonna do?? I miss my family, my mom, dad. I miss my friends. I miss them so much. Gosh, where are they? I wish I could do something! What is this heat inside me? I feel it coming out of my chest, like lava. I feel anger. I want to do something, I wanna get out. I grab my hair with both hands and start shouting out loud! So loud as if I would explode from inside out! I've lost it. 2:43 - I start punching the floor, like a ruleless gorilla. It's massive and cold, but doesn't matter. Don't feel anything, can't feel pain anymore. I punch harder and harder, I wanna break the floor apart, I want to get out! I start shouting again as I see the dropping tears falling on my blood. I'm desperate. How long will it take? Can't stand this anymore, I wanna go home. My arms fail me as they rot on my own wrath. I fall behind and watch the darkness as I recover my breath and mind. I'm calming down. God, I feel so lighter now. 3:44 - For some reason the memory of my first fight at school revives in my head. Maybe because I'm so beat up now as I were back then. A couple of giggles slips away, and I start remembering the good old times of childhood. Ah, good old times! Will I ever experience them again? 4:14 - I come back to myself. The anger is gone, but the pain is more then ever. I stand up and look at myself. Why did I do this to me? Why do I have to suffer like this? I can see it now. Maybe I was the one who started it all from the beginning. Doesn't have to be that way. Maybe I should just accept it as it is, I don't need to run away. I can see the path now, it lights itself to me. Don't need to run away anymore. It fills me up with life and energy, heal my wounds as I walk blindly to my nameless destiny. 5:28 - I take a look back and see darkness: womb of my ashes, sowed on its cold ground and watered with my tears, blossoming into myself again.
If this is how you played it, without knowing much about the game, I can't imagine how much more emotion it would have had. Not only the song has been perfectly portrayed but the whole game has been imbued in it; this game has touched many, however, your art style and emotional prowress were able to convey us back into nostalgia. Thank you for the wonderfully performed piece.
At first I skipped back to the beginning to listen again, then I realised that you continued the beautiful melody past Sarias song and the entire thing fell into the same melody, it’s exceptional!, thankyou for sharing this with everyone.
This was INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!! As a Zelda fan, artist, entertainer, and a person who appreciates music...this right here was serenity to my soul! I woooould loooove for this to be recorded in a studio and made into a really cool track!!
I was expecting a simple Song of Healing cover. Instead I found a masterpiece.
i agree bro
same here
One who is truly passionate about a music in games cannot make a "simple song of healing cover". And Kyle Landry is with out a shadow of a doubt, truly passionate about such wondrous things.
That's why it's called "piano SOLO" which means that he'll go beast on the song and make it his own ^_^ I love his arrangements =D
thats Kyle Landry for ya!
after 10 years, this is still being the best cover of song of healing out there... truly a masterpiece :(
😯he put some good passion into this one 😳
@@Crypt0Band1t right? so breathtaking
I am still getting goosebumps

this comment alllll day. Been coming back to this year after year after year since he released it. never fails to give me chills.
Yes. I listen to this video constantly, this feels like it clears and heals my emotional head as nothing else can. Incredible performance by a master.
I started piano lessons recently after years of my life yearning for it, so I keep coming back to this for inspiration
brought me to my knees crying, literally. one of my very closest friends passed away six months ago. he shot himself. and majoras mask was one of his very favorite games of all time, and this song may have been his favorite.

Shaner3599 so, that would be amazing
3:44 caught way of guard but it somehow blends in with the song perfectly
it's because the song of healing is just Saria's Song backwards

I always find the song of healing a bit creepy and sad, and you portrayed that perfectly, I have never seen a pianist as good as you!
same here. The best pianist I've ever seen, even taking into account the classic masters, the way he can perfectly translate not only the sound but the feel of a song onto the piano... He deserves a lot more attention than he receives
Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't for more subscribers!
I guess nowadays people dont value music as much anymore.
Yeah for real, I shared his Fairy song on Facebook and it got literally one like :/ I hyped it up too but nobody cared to watch it

This is beautiful. Just insanely beautiful. Makes me feel sorry for people who will never understand just how impactful video games can be in one’s life.
I will tell my story, I had a tragic event in my life last year and nothing has ever been the same since that happened, I lived in a lie for almost a year and one day I just started listening to this song and suddenly all the sorrow and pain in my heart started flowing, I cried for hours and I finally got over my traumatic experience, I'm so thankful believe me and thanks to this song, I don't know what it has, it made me get out my feelings and go on.
Not even 10 seconds into this, and I got goosebumps. Man, I wish I had found Kyle a long time ago.
When I first played this game at around the age of 12 I didn't really appreciate how emotionally powerful some of the tracks were. After replaying the game over 10 years later hearing this song really hit me hard considering the context of the many tragedies involved in the game. You help all of these individuals one by one, all for naught, because in the end they face the same bitter end.
Listening to this makes me feel like my childhood has been restored, and I don't mean that in a witty way. Majora's Mask struck something deep inside of me when I was very young, partly regarding the skull kid's loneliness. Lately, I've been going through a rough time in my life and stress keeps catching up with me, but as soon as I came across this, I felt the innocence of my childhood sort of flourish within me. I feel like everyhing's gonna be alright. Honest to God, I feel healed. Thank you so much for making this, it's absolutely beautiful and it helped me a lot. Keep up your talent :)
PineappleRaxx I know the feels
Song of healing healed you 😄
+SurreaLectrus actually if I remember right wasn't that what effect it had on that mummy guy you had to play it for?
My life has been like that too man, I just wish j could go back to when I would play at my grandparent's house down the street with my cousins without a worry in the world =') good times. But now it is a mess and now I have too many things wrong that it is hard for me to be truly happy. Hope you get through your bad times and always remember the good ones
Majora's Mask is about trauma. How we are given the choice to accept it as it is or be defiant in the face of it. This choice plays out in many questlines of the game such as Mikau etc. The game shows, as is true irl, that it is not trauma that defines us but our willingness to seek our own necessity in defiance of it. Majora's Mask is all about reclaiming that sense of human dignity and respect in spite of a nihilistic world. Link is flawlessly victorious because he was willing to give it all away to save Termina. The same way he went for broke to save Hyrule. Suffering is temporary. But glory is forever. Greater glory to Hyrule and its Knight. My soul is no longer in a coma!
the song just emanates nostalgia on ones heart. it's so beautiful it feels as if you are truly being healed. the pain endured in life, this song feels like it brings you at ease.
Kyle, im a grown 32 yr old man, and i find myself tearing up. the emotion behind your keys. cant help but think of my late mother and fallen comrades. life is bitter sweet my friend. ty
Some people can play a song and make it sound Ok, but if you really put your heart and soul into the song like this guy, it becomes pure art. Well done Kyle..
Thank you so much for this. When my family had to put down our dog, my life imploded, and yet stayed the same. Inside, I was completely crushed, and cried for hours. Every time I walked through the door, I was tortured by the fact that one dog was missing. And all the while, I watched my family suffer. Despite this, I still had to grind through sophomore year with several AP classes and no room for academic downturn. This song became a cornerstone in my life, reflecting my grief in just the way that it was lessened. Hearing such a soulful rendition warms my heart. Truly, what a soothing melody.
You've taught me something, Kyle. You play piano for a living, it's your profession. I can't expect to ever be as good as you unless I devote my life to piano like you have. That goes for anything; if you want to be the best, you have to devote you life to it.
Keep up the amazing work, bud!
This song means a lot to me, I'm fighting whit depression and this song really helps whit that
Hey pal, how's your day today..?
Love the addition of the part on the right hand @3:13
The part at 3:43 always gives me goos bumbs and a very happy feeling. What an absolute joyful piece.
Woohoo :) Sheet Music: bit.ly/2i35xqR
Thanks, Kyle!
kylelandry only sheets or midi too???
Can you do a rendition of "Together, we will live forever" from Clint Mansell?
no matter how many years pass I keep coming back to this rendition. One of my favourite zelda games and one of my favourite covers.
Hello past me, I'm back again.
Watching you makes me wish I learnt to play piano. So incredible. So beautiful.
***** I play piano, but I don't think I can get the stuff he did in the middle with all that fancy stuff. XD
***** You can always learn. I started teaching myself how to play Piano by ear a few years ago, and I'm relatively good... I'm no concert pianist, but I can play the songs I want to.
+Marblez3 Never too late!
+Ashinox Freestyle is better than learned style (^-^)
+Marblez3 well thats a cool talent to have
Thanks for bringing me back my childhood memories. Listening to it May 21 2021
I am going through such a hard time with the COVID symptoms and this masterpiece of yours helped me find peace while I listened to every second of it. I want to get better soon but it is just so hard. Everyday the coughing gets harder and harder. I will keep listening to this song
I hope for the best. It's been a wild year for us all.
@@JamesMoney thank you very much. Definitely, it's been a hard year for us too. I wish you guys the best and hope you heal your wounds with time. Greetings in from Ensenada, Baja California México
How are you?
@@LoopBuddy I made it. I got through the COVID symptons. And still listening to this beutiful song. Thank you very much for asking :)
I had it recently and it was hell. Thank god I was better for my birthday and christmas though. Mine wasn't a cough, just an extremely bad sore throat, shivers and the like. My throat was so bad that I literally didn't sleep properly for 3 straight days. The first day I didn't actually get to sleep at all. It was genuinely the worst sore throat I've ever had in my life. Glad it's over now!
I'm currently going through my "per-decade-obsession" with childhood nostalgia.
Binge-watching cover songs of Legend of Zelda music, and getting unimaginable chills while hearing these songs.
Ahhh, what a great time. Except, I need to write my final project for my degree, before my first child is born (due date in 2 weeks), and I'm here procrastinating (which I thought I was done with for good)😂
But wow, I love watching these videos and getting those nostalgic feels!!!!
Felicidades por el bebe
@@Elementary131 thank you! It’s a girl!
congrats!
@@Bliviate thanks man!
I've never played Zelda before nor heard any of it's songs but somehow this makes me feel incredibly nostalgic
Majora's Mask is always worth playing all the way through. It is a fantastic game. And this is a fantastic cover.
this sent chills through my body with every key, my god dude this is incredible
everyone’s talking about the song being depressing, but I don’t see it that way.
I think the song is supposed to be nostalgic. The entire game is built on time and memories, so it would make sense to be nostalgic.
It’s called the song of healing, why would it be depression?
The song is supposed to heal you from darkness. Every time you use it, it’s to soothe someone’s worries, negativity, sadness, by reminding them of their best, happiest memories, of the people they care about, the things they care about.
That’s what makes the song so beautiful, that’s what its purpose is.
It shows you how much your memories affect you. It shows you that it’s okay to be reminiscent, that you should think back and see what makes you happy, to understand how much you love something or someone, and that even when it’s gone, you shouldn’t get yourself stuck in missing that, but to feel glad for the happiest memories you’ve made.
This kind of nostalgia is for life and death. Compared to that, depression is shallow.
This song is beautiful.
This is by far the best thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
I'm attempting to learn this now and you've inspired me to the fullest!
You sir just Healed My Soul , Thank You
ughhh I'm literally obsessed with this. Such a well made adaptation, with extra Zelda themes! :') So beautiful, I can just listen to this all day...
Everytime I listen to this is makes me cry. I can hear your passion for your art in this piece. Everyime I hear this I feel healed somehow.
I come back to this all the time. Thank you.
I love the narrative arc of this arrangement. It's like a romantic era Ballade. Also, Saria's Song 💓💓💓
I really love the way you play the piano. You touch our souls with that performance
beautiful
i hope you know how to deal with that song Crona
This is one strange comment thread...
xxXTuxedoFlamesXxx Red said something? Woah!
Maybe it's Jean from SNK..
Outstanding, out of this world, soothing, and clearminding
The way you put your emotion and focus on the piece is so beautiful; fantastic job. A piece is all the better when the artist can put their heart and feelings in a piece. Really makes it enjoyable.
This was beyond amazing and, by far, the most emotional experience I've ever had watching anything on youtube. You, sir, have an incredible talent. You've captured two of my most beloved things (Zelda and piano) and made them into one melodious video. You took my heart and crushed it into a thousand crying pieces, put it back harmoniously, and made it laugh (with the unexpected incorporation of Saria's Song. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're as beautiful as the music you play.
You good sir have made the most dramatic and perfectly describing comment I have ever read.
MrTailbird36372
you forgot to tip your fedora
I don't log into my youtube account very often, but after watching this I felt obligated to come here and say "WOW". But now that I'm writing this, I think a "Thank you" is more appropriate : )
I stood up and clapped in front of my computer.
I haven't seen this much enthusiasm brought forth from any instrument in a long time.
This is incredibly beautiful... words don't really do it justice. Goosebump and wet eyes, wow.
I am to this day still in awe how brilliant this interpretation of the song is. i still get goosebumps at around 3:09. what a brilliant performance
Just how many feelings you put in your playing...
damn that hit right in the feels ;-;
Lyka feels asf.
was just casually browsing the web while music played in background then this came on and oh god feels, he played it with such vigor and emotion I was just,
stunned.
This is epic as hell with rainy mood. AWESOME work kyle!
I can't stop listening to this. The roller coaster of emotion is amazing. Please never stop what you are doing
omg the way you brought saria's song near the end was amazing. Props
I am speechless by this. Well done. You sir, have impressed me.
Wow... nice arrangement!!! I really loved the lost woods and Zelda's lullaby part and how you keep the escence and mysticism of healing song. Simply amazing. Bravo!!
No sabes cuantas veces me gustaría darle me gusta a esta interpretación!!!!. :')
Amo leer los comentarios de vídeos de música de este estilo, especialmente de Zelda. Me hace descubrir lo que la música puede causar en las personas. Luego reviso mis sentimientos y me emociono. Lo que es el ser humano...
This song really healed me. Thank you.
I'm still crying. my grandma passed away few months ago and since that moment I was so sad about that and all the time when I remembered her I cried but now when I heard this masterpiece I feel that my grandma is with me and she is happy wherever she is now this really is a healing song. I just want to say thank you. thank you because I feel better with my self now and with that things that made me feel bad. than you very much!!!
The way people play the piano passionately like this is the exact opposite of how people play the drums passionately.
horrace magee That's what I thought! XD
horrace magee drumers aren't musicians
Cordon000006 You never watched Whiplash did you?
I was just kidding
Well technically the piano and drums are in the same percussion family. So there's that.
This was aboslutely incredible, the amount of emotion into this is outstanding... You are a true virtuoso and surely a brave heart. Thank you very much, cheers friend.
I was not expecting this. Fantastic, powerful arrangement and also beautifully executed. So glad I stumbled upon this. Thanks for sharing!
This Sing is so graceful with the whimsical vibe it gives off.
I can't listen to this without crying. This is the best take on this song I've ever heard
instant chills every time i come back to this video 😭
This Song is so Perfect
The Dead can't be Healed..................
Awesome work!
i know one person who could use this song
Personmaner Link is dead.....
Or trying to pass over....
Jerichonumber2 You've met a terrible fate, haven't you?
Happy Mask Salesman
(0___0)
I don't know... With this version of the song it may be possible.
Honestly this song and masterpiece sounds better than the original, im crying right now, this is great. I love it.
One of the best piano covers I've ever heard
This song is awesome ... but everytime I listen to it I feel a hole inside me and some how I feel sad ..
Me too! Is weird
Same here! :o
so sad...i feel like i have been punched in the heart listening to this song UNTIL 3:45 LOL
めんやー 64 I wouldnt say nostalgic, couse I naver completed the games, my father hear it too and he felt the same hole inside, and he dosent know a thing about zelda games.
Its just kinda creepy :l
MexicanRmz well, it's not a happy song you know.. it's natural to make u feel sad.
holy shit, this is so good
"That's what she said"
That's what he said.
TheSignificantMaid Maybe? c;
It's been a rough year for all of us :(
Hopefully we can all start healing soon. Excellent performance!
This is a master work.
I can't go a week with out listening to this or an other of Kyle's compositions.
I feel blessed that I stumbled upon his works years ago.
the best version of this song I have ever came upon, thank you
Wow. I am so glad I stumbled across this. Chills everywhere.. Amazing work man. I'm inspired!
0:03 - I wake up. Open my eyes, but can't see nothing. It's all dark. I'm confused. How did I end up here? I stand up and yell for help. Nothing. I start walking, stretch my arms but find only dead air. Nothing. There is only darkness, I'm all alone. I start running and screaming for help. Please, there's gotta be someone! Please, don't let me stay here! I lose my balance and stumble, fall breathless on the ground. Only then I realize I'm crying. I'm lost.
1:27 - I sit down, numb. The only thing I feel are tears slowly crawling through my face. I don't know what to do. What am I gonna do?? I miss my family, my mom, dad. I miss my friends. I miss them so much. Gosh, where are they? I wish I could do something! What is this heat inside me? I feel it coming out of my chest, like lava. I feel anger. I want to do something, I wanna get out. I grab my hair with both hands and start shouting out loud! So loud as if I would explode from inside out! I've lost it.
2:43 - I start punching the floor, like a ruleless gorilla. It's massive and cold, but doesn't matter. Don't feel anything, can't feel pain anymore. I punch harder and harder, I wanna break the floor apart, I want to get out! I start shouting again as I see the dropping tears falling on my blood. I'm desperate. How long will it take? Can't stand this anymore, I wanna go home. My arms fail me as they rot on my own wrath. I fall behind and watch the darkness as I recover my breath and mind. I'm calming down. God, I feel so lighter now.
3:44 - For some reason the memory of my first fight at school revives in my head. Maybe because I'm so beat up now as I were back then. A couple of giggles slips away, and I start remembering the good old times of childhood. Ah, good old times! Will I ever experience them again?
4:14 - I come back to myself. The anger is gone, but the pain is more then ever. I stand up and look at myself. Why did I do this to me? Why do I have to suffer like this? I can see it now. Maybe I was the one who started it all from the beginning. Doesn't have to be that way. Maybe I should just accept it as it is, I don't need to run away. I can see the path now, it lights itself to me. Don't need to run away anymore. It fills me up with life and energy, heal my wounds as I walk blindly to my nameless destiny.
5:28 - I take a look back and see darkness: womb of my ashes, sowed on its cold ground and watered with my tears, blossoming into myself again.
You Sir, are a Genius !
0-0 it makes sense
Oh god the cringe... i read 3 lines then i had to stop myself. *CRIIINNNGGEEE*
This is just as beautiful as the song. Kudos.
Your Comment.... should have 1Mio likes. In your text fits everything. Very beautiful!!!
it was a masterpiece! Thank you for adding lost woods to it!
The emotions within this song really do make it a song of healing.
Sir, I legitimately love you for this rendition of my favorite Zelda song.
Didn't know that AVGN played the piano so well
thats kyle landry not avgn
Oh, snap! Is that for real? :O Thank you so much. I didn't know this guy wasn't AVGN :o You surely cleared my path on TH-cam :D
Lol, it does look like AVGN!
haha DUUDDEE i was thinking the exact same thing! Lol i was going through all the comments just to see if someone els was thinking the same haha.
Juanma Richtofen á
A song that was only like 10 seconds turned into a 6 minute and 6 second masterpiece...
amazing! This inspires me to practice piano more
If this is how you played it, without knowing much about the game, I can't imagine how much more emotion it would have had.
Not only the song has been perfectly portrayed but the whole game has been imbued in it; this game has touched many, however, your art style and emotional prowress were able to convey us back into nostalgia. Thank you for the wonderfully performed piece.
I love this version since it goes from peaceful to intense then slowly regains peacefulness again. My favorite cover of the song of healing yet.
This makes me want to learn the piano.
ikr :'v
Link Hylian What does "ikr" mean?
Diego Alvarez I Know Right
Link Hylian Thanks :)
you cant learn to this extent.. this is a gift
That was very amazing! 10/10.
YOU ARE AMAZING
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY
YOU ARE AMAZING
😂
At first I skipped back to the beginning to listen again, then I realised that you continued the beautiful melody past Sarias song and the entire thing fell into the same melody, it’s exceptional!, thankyou for sharing this with everyone.
This was INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!! As a Zelda fan, artist, entertainer, and a person who appreciates music...this right here was serenity to my soul! I woooould loooove for this to be recorded in a studio and made into a really cool track!!
