@@AK47_414 He did make many mistakes. But they are so subtle and hard to notice that it doesn't matter at all. He played with passion which made the tiny mistakes sound right in a weird way.
There were quite a few staccato notes that were improperly doubled up or off beat but it’s not a huge deal. Noticeable in the first track mostly. Also noticed a random off-key chord in track 4, not sure if it was composed that way or just a misplaced hand. Track 5 was just fucking beautiful and perfectly executed though
I'm going to keep showing people this to prove to them how much emotion pure music can express. I can't stop listening. I don't think I've ever heard such expressive piano playing.
My favorite that he's done is "The Cursed Path". Easily one of the most emotional to me, but of course I like most of what I've heard and haven't finished the album yet.. lol
As My Horses "Gallop" to try and attend Lionel's Premiere, I see a "Waltz of the rising star" a once in 300 year sight! My heart Feeling "Fires of a Revolution", I have "Courage" that I will attend Lionel's Premiere no matter how frightening or scary it will be because he is special and really good at playing piano... As I traveled past the "Water Flower" area , I knew I were not going to even think about going in there. It would be classified as a "Pachelbel's Nightmare." I felt as if all of my hope was drained out of me, what I need is a surge of "Vengence", The "Colours of the soul" would bring me back and My gut will force me to go there, just for Lionel. There was no hope... All was lost it was a "Saudade" Moment, I felt like I could do nothing... I am useless, I surrendered myself to the ground and my eyes cried like "Rolling Thunder", My soul was a "Black Star". I was "Too Late"...

And it’s playing in my head when I’m not listening to it. I don’t know why or how but it just speaks to my soul and my whole life. Tears. Goosebumps. Swollen heart.

You've written a beautiful album. To me this is worth just as much as the works of composers like Chopin and Liszt. It may be a different genre, but you're a top tier composer in this genre. You compose and play from your heart. I think that is the most beautiful thing there is. Take care buddy, we love you❤.
I wept when listening to Colors of the Soul. Daily I put so much of my energy into hiding my Autism from the world and putting on a mask.

This is the epitome of what music was always meant to do, bring emotion straight out of you. Finding yourself tearing up or smiling while mentally trapped in the notes. Now the dream to some day hear this played live. Musicians may live and die, but the music will move us forever.
Dear Lionel, I never heard anything like this in my entire life. It seems like you consist of music entirely. Every piece is extremely well set and holds so much emotion. I'm really grateful for your music. It helped me push through the most difficult times in my life. I was diagnosed with cancer, just 2 month before my 12 yo son followed me with the same diagnosis. We fought together for the last couple of years. Your music was always there with us- in ICU, chemo treatments, radiation... It helped us to ease our minds, to keep focused on our goal. You really had great impact on us. If I could ever make a wish, it would be your version of "Erin McCarley - Into The Fire". We'd be very honored :). THANK YOU for your music! Claudia & Leon from Austria 🇦🇹
@@liliaye8183 Thank you so much! We're doing our best! My son is in recovery, taking his last chemo meds until January 2022. I just had to pause my treatment because against all odds, I got pregnant. It was a miracle and a hard decision, because it could be dangerous for me... but I'll never regret it to have my baby girl. Not 1 single second. I'm so proud of her!
I really hope that Lionel gets to read my comments. I want to show him how much impact he's able to deliver all around the world. I let Ellis listen to his music even before she was born. Now she's able to recognize it and it always calms her down. Thanks again, @MusicalBasics
Dear Claudia, it is a miracle that you not only won the battle of sickness and also had a new baby girl! Congratulations! So happy for your son who is also getting better! Hope Lionel will see your comments and happy that you like his music! He will be more happy that his music gave you and your son courage during your battle for disease!
Although it perhaps may be too late for lionel, to read this post, as a previosly aspiring musician: Not all of us make it from the trials in which we endeavor, however those of us that have fallen for whicher reason, rejoice in seeing such compassion and emotion within your works. May the future be ever bright for you, and your fire, your passion, never extinguish. Many more years of this to come is what we wish for you my friend. Thank you for gracing us with these pieces.
Thank you Lionel to perform 12 pieces of my favorites from MusicalBasics! Some songs made me teared up! So emotional to listen to your play and read caption of your stories! The new album with these 12 beautiful and heartfelt songs will be a treasure to collect! Cannot wait to listen to them in your Spotify! So proud of you for producing such high quality MusicalStories album during your two months break! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
This man is one of the most talented instrumentalists I’ve seen so far. Keep doing what you love. I truly believe music is not music without emotion and stories. 👇
Oh MY- OKAY honestly Im only on the fourth piece right now but I couldn’t help myself but comment on this BECAUSE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY and I mean ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. I’m saving this to my yt library to Spotify and all SHEESH I have not felt such a beautiful surge of emotions in a VERY VERY long time… this album is an absolute masterpiece SO UNDERRATED SO GOOOD AAAA 🔥🔥🔥 EACH PIECE from the way it was written to how it was expressed just SLAPS with its overwhelmingly beautiful dynamics, skilful and precise techniques, BUT YES, AMAZING, REALLY SUPERB, DAYUM GOOD JOB… WOW… ABSOLUTELY MAQUENIFIQUE I just have to say- sorry I really can’t find the right words to describe this all but I could only have praise for this masterpiece. IT IS ABSOLUTELY **STUNNING** imo, DEFINITELY up there with the best of the best pieces 💖😻🥺🤧
Courage melted my heart and brought me to tears. It reminded me of my late grandma, who died in 2017, who had so much courage even though she knew her cancer was killing her. It was by far my favorite. Thank you for writing such beautiful pieces!💕💕💕
the story behind Water flower brings an ache to my heart thinking about it, although I know it is nothing compared to what you must be feeling. When people ask "what is courage", I think that it is doing something like playing a song that brings back pain you don't want. I love your songs and I send my support.
I ran into your videos by circumstance, and I must say "THANK YOU". Thank you for bringing a fresh change to what the world has been missing. Your music is amazing and doing anything in life without it playing in the background or foreground (depending on my situation) will just be boring. Keep it up, 10 years was worth the wait and I am excited to see what the future brings.
I didnt know you existed before i listend to this.. Dude .. I'm lost for words. Thats how talented you are. Your music is inspiring, beautiful and most of all - its your own! You did this! Its AMAZING! Keep it up and stay creative my friend! ~best regards, a piano dude from germany
I used to watch your videos obsessively yeeeearrrs ago and recently started catching up on what I missed while I was depressed and not doing anything with music for the better part of a decade. I haven't let myself get a nice keyboard since I live in an apartment and have always been an acoustic piano snob (and, y'know, depressed me thinks I can't have nice things) but coming back to your videos made me say "fck it" and see how digital pianos have improved.. So I have a Kawai KDP120 on the way. It's amazing to see that you've finally finished your album and it has so many beautiful pieces. Thanks for being such an inspiration, man. Welcome back. :)
I have been following you for quite some time now, I can never stop being amazed at the talent you produce with each piece of content you put out! You have a wonderful mind and it is like you were born to play the piano. Even during the break you had I still had urges to return to watching your videos multiple times not only because of how incredibly talented and enjoyable they are, but to give me inspiration for my own work! Please keep doing what you are doing, you are changing peoples lives.
I think I've been a fan for about a decade, so I can say with some confidence I'm going to be hooked on these new performances for many years to come. I'll never get tired of the old classics being bashed out on a wobbly keyboard in all the glory of 240p resolution, but the production quality really is exceptional in this video. Wow!
So poetic that "Too late" was the last one hehe. On the other its so exciting that you added new "things" to any piece played so the album is EVEN more special. Neat job man, enjoy the concert hope to ever see you play on live (currently on other continent x))
I honestly can't believe I had the privilege of hearing these just beautiful compositions, putting so much expression into it, you're the greatest pianist I've ever heard. Thank you.
Honestly I've never been much interested in classical music, or at least music that involves nothing but a piano and a player. But this really changed that for me. Beautiful.
that’s a really long time to make an album. certainly seems like a whole lot of work went into it too! i just listened to the whole thing and it was really awesome. your music always helps me imagine and focus, so it’s really nice to have a album to replay now. great work, and thanks so much!
God... I can embrace these melodies in a quiet sunset, under a clear night sky full of stars, in the flames of hell or... everywhere! Made my day mate! Honestly, you're A LEGEND!
amazing, most beautiful pieces I have ever heard. This beats bands, orchestras, all the hard effort you put it this just makes me want to do something amazing. I am in shock, and I think you made my life better, not my day, month or year, my LIFE. the story's just feel so connected. I am trying to learn some myself. But I will never be as good as you, I mean, you created these masterpieces. I will try to share this with every one I know. you are a LEGEND! everyone who reads this should subscribe, I mean the effort in this!!!!!!!!
I know this probably doesn't mean much to you but I'm so so so glad you are back and even happier that you have thought things through about this youtube channel! Your music is always so inspirational and mind-boggling.
I saw this at 1am thinking I’m about to go to bed. It is now 3am and I have been laying here listening to these masterpieces for a whole 2 hours. This is incredible.
WOW! This is just amazing. Found you just half an hour ago or so. I dont listen to piano or classic music normally because I never found sth that really got me or at least not much. THIS is exactly it!! piano music in perfection for me! Its catchy and exciting and really nice to drift away. All I want from piano music. And with these explanations of you goosebumps for sure! You and your channel are CLEARLY underrated!!! Love it :) Greetings from Germany
Dude. I've only watched as far as the first piece, but you are really something special. The emotion you invoke with the melodies are absolutely amazing. I wish I could sub more than once, but you've got what I can give! Incredible!!!
Fires of a Revolution : "First person to hear this was my sister and she was not impressed" Me *reading with my mouth wide open from how beautiful it sounded from the beginning*
One year later. And this album has evolve from something Iove to something *I LIVE...* Its to express into just words, I just feel so good while listening to this
Listening Musicalstories album since 2017, these pieces never get old. And still my favorite since first day. Edit: Will be waiting you to upload this to Apple Music too tho :)
Water Flower reminded me of my own pain of non acceptance from my pears in elementary shool. It is so terrible when you combine social anxiety and harsh behaviour of others. It got me crying and I honestly do know nothing about music and piano, but this melody is so universal and describes pain so clearly. Thank you for this album, this is truly great!
Courage - I've never heard who experienced a song that can take you on a physical journey within like it did. Wow, tears of joy, laughter, hope, courage and overwhelm of self belief. Thank you.
This album is sooo enjoyable ! My brain is riding a hundred stories while listening. You are now by far the composer my baby has listen the most: perfect playlist while feeding ;) Thank you for the journeys. (sorry for unperfect english)
It's so beautiful... God... one day I'll become just like you Leonel. When you here your music it truly feels like you can not lose like the battles are never over intill their over. Truly truly inspiring right on man.(I have been practicing fur elisa for a 6 months now and can't play 10 seconds of it) but one day I'll be moving just as fast if not even faster THE BATTLES ON!
i just want you to know i was a fan back in the old days before you were this crazy famous, and your writing is what has inspired me to pursue music composition degree. i was a classical pianist for many years, i still am, but that is no longer my career direction. when i was 12 i heard your song "Fires of Revelution", and it is what inspired me to write my first major piece of music. "Wings of Fire" is what i called it lol. anyway, fast forward and ive gotten to perform with the Juilliard School, and had so many opportunities. all because you inspired me to try. music is my life, my love, my passion. your writing still inspires me to this day, and every time I'm unsure, it reminds me of what i can do with music. music is the key to the heart and soul for me. it has been, and always will be the thing that i love the most. without you, my life would be completely different. thank you for inspiring me, for helping me find music. please never stop
I just wanted to say thank you. I have been listening to your music for two years now and it helped me to get through some hard times so I'm just thankful for what you have made. Love you man ❤️❤️❤️
A beautiful selection of pieces. I also like the title of the album very much. Your comments in each clip give the songs that final touch of emotion that is typical of you. That's your unique feature. ;) I love that. I'm glad you chose "Too Late" for the last track. All in all, I think everything fits together perfectly here. Thanks for your hard work. PS: I am beyond happy that "Pachelbel's Nightmare" is also included. ^^
I've never heard piano like this before! I'm so glad I found your channel. The emotions, WOW, thank you for showing me that beauty and love still exist. Your soul has colors I've never seen before.
You've got to be the one of most talented pianist I have seen on the internet. I first heard your song 4-5 years ago "Rising Star" and "Rolling Thunder" were my fav. I listened to them SOO much until I got sick of them lol. But now after so many years I enjoy them even. Great song, you deserve all the praise.
I bought this when it was on your website a few years ago. I have so many backups it's not funny. I'm glad you've recorded it again! I hope you'll make this one available for purchase too! I'm excited to hear all the little differences between the different recordings. EDIT: New songs new songs :D I think they're new anyway! Same number of 'em as the first one from 2016, but vastly unfamiliar. Very excited. You're music is like no other. It's truly beautiful, thank you.
musical basics was one of the very first channels that i subscribed to and i found it through the fires of a revolution : D so glad that he has his album now (and fires of a revolution is it now ^_^ )
I know he won't see this but i can't thank you enough. I was really good at piano up until recently when i lost access to one and i quit on my 2nd album. Then i saw this and decided i must not give up. I can't quit now. I just released my acoustic guitar album a few weeks ago. after a month of work. I have a new song every day now. Thank you!
Everything about this is just beautiful, even the visuals of how each note fades away corresponding with life, everything is temporary but it doesn’t take away from the sheer meaning and passion, that’s what will live on. This is why this music is so impactful and not everyone will understand that. Music is a gift and it always will be, I will never get tired of listening to these pieces and this type of music. Thank you.

We fought together for the last couple of years. Your music was always there with us- in ICU, chemo treatments, radiation... It helped us to ease our minds, to keep focused on our goal. You really had great impact on us. If I could ever make a wish, it would be your version of "Erin McCarley - Into The Fire". We'd be very honored :). THANK YOU for your music! Claudia & Leon from Austria 🇦🇹
Such emotional story of you and your son! Please take care well! You will win the battle!
@@liliaye8183 Thank you so much! We're doing our best! My son is in recovery, taking his last chemo meds until January 2022.
I just had to pause my treatment because against all odds, I got pregnant. It was a miracle and a hard decision, because it could be dangerous for me... but I'll never regret it to have my baby girl. Not 1 single second. I'm so proud of her!
I really hope that Lionel gets to read my comments. I want to show him how much impact he's able to deliver all around the world. I let Ellis listen to his music even before she was born. Now she's able to recognize it and it always calms her down. Thanks again, @MusicalBasics
Dear Claudia, it is a miracle that you not only won the battle of sickness and also had a new baby girl! Congratulations! So happy for your son who is also getting better! Hope Lionel will see your comments and happy that you like his music! He will be more happy that his music gave you and your son courage during your battle for disease!
Ah the legend is back from his training arc...
After doing
A 10k run
100 push-ups
100 squats
And eating bananas as breakfast
He returned...

11:40 I love how even you can feel the emotion and express it and not hold back❤️❤️
Your music makes me want to keep on fighting and living.
Although it perhaps may be too late for lionel, to read this post, as a previosly aspiring musician: Not all of us make it from the trials in which we endeavor, however those of us that have fallen for whicher reason, rejoice in seeing such compassion and emotion within your works. May the future be ever bright for you, and your fire, your passion, never extinguish. Many more years of this to come is what we wish for you my friend. Thank you for gracing us with these pieces.
Like your comments! Lionel’s story inspired many of us to seek our dream with courage and perseverance!
Thank you Lionel to perform 12 pieces of my favorites from MusicalBasics! Some songs made me teared up! So emotional to listen to your play and read caption of your stories! The new album with these 12 beautiful and heartfelt songs will be a treasure to collect! Cannot wait to listen to them in your Spotify! So proud of you for producing such high quality MusicalStories album during your two months break! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I feel that Lionel is one of the few people that can let the wholeness of his soul flow through the intricacy of his skill. Amazing album!!!
God damn Lionel! I've NEVER heard such a dramatic story in Gallop!!!
This man is one of the most talented instrumentalists I’ve seen so far. Keep doing what you love. I truly believe music is not music without emotion and stories.
👇
The last song had such a relatable quote: *I did not want to be a disappointment to my family.*
Oh MY- OKAY honestly Im only on the fourth piece right now but I couldn’t help myself but comment on this BECAUSE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY and I mean ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. I’m saving this to my yt library to Spotify and all SHEESH I have not felt such a beautiful surge of emotions in a VERY VERY long time… this album is an absolute masterpiece SO UNDERRATED SO GOOOD AAAA 🔥🔥🔥 EACH PIECE from the way it was written to how it was expressed just SLAPS with its overwhelmingly beautiful dynamics, skilful and precise techniques, BUT YES, AMAZING, REALLY SUPERB, DAYUM GOOD JOB… WOW… ABSOLUTELY MAQUENIFIQUE I just have to say- sorry I really can’t find the right words to describe this all but I could only have praise for this masterpiece. IT IS ABSOLUTELY **STUNNING** imo, DEFINITELY up there with the best of the best pieces 💖😻🥺🤧
Courage melted my heart and brought me to tears. It reminded me of my late grandma, who died in 2017, who had so much courage even though she knew her cancer was killing her. It was by far my favorite. Thank you for writing such beautiful pieces!💕💕💕
the story behind Water flower brings an ache to my heart thinking about it, although I know it is nothing compared to what you must be feeling. When people ask "what is courage", I think that it is doing something like playing a song that brings back pain you don't want. I love your songs and I send my support.
I ran into your videos by circumstance, and I must say "THANK YOU". Thank you for bringing a fresh change to what the world has been missing. Your music is amazing and doing anything in life without it playing in the background or foreground (depending on my situation) will just be boring. Keep it up, 10 years was worth the wait and I am excited to see what the future brings.
I didnt know you existed before i listend to this.. Dude .. I'm lost for words. Thats how talented you are. Your music is inspiring, beautiful and most of all - its your own! You did this! Its AMAZING! Keep it up and stay creative my friend!
~best regards, a piano dude from germany
I love the last bit of Fires of a revolution because it has that sorta question mark sound. Like, "Was it worth it?"
I used to watch your videos obsessively yeeeearrrs ago and recently started catching up on what I missed while I was depressed and not doing anything with music for the better part of a decade. I haven't let myself get a nice keyboard since I live in an apartment and have always been an acoustic piano snob (and, y'know, depressed me thinks I can't have nice things) but coming back to your videos made me say "fck it" and see how digital pianos have improved.. So I have a Kawai KDP120 on the way. It's amazing to see that you've finally finished your album and it has so many beautiful pieces. Thanks for being such an inspiration, man. Welcome back. :)
I have been following you for quite some time now, I can never stop being amazed at the talent you produce with each piece of content you put out! You have a wonderful mind and it is like you were born to play the piano. Even during the break you had I still had urges to return to watching your videos multiple times not only because of how incredibly talented and enjoyable they are, but to give me inspiration for my own work! Please keep doing what you are doing, you are changing peoples lives.
I’ve listened to one of these but didn’t know there was more! Coincidentally premieres on my birthday! Can’t wait!
happy birthday
happy early birthday
I think I've been a fan for about a decade, so I can say with some confidence I'm going to be hooked on these new performances for many years to come. I'll never get tired of the old classics being bashed out on a wobbly keyboard in all the glory of 240p resolution, but the production quality really is exceptional in this video. Wow!
So poetic that "Too late" was the last one hehe.
On the other its so exciting that you added new "things" to any piece played so the album is EVEN more special. Neat job man, enjoy the concert hope to ever see you play on live (currently on other continent x))
His youtube name is musical BASICS... I laugh in the face of this. This is everything but basics - Awesome job dude.
I honestly can't believe I had the privilege of hearing these just beautiful compositions, putting so much expression into it, you're the greatest pianist I've ever heard. Thank you.
MusicalBasics definitely earns a place in piano history. Your music is mind blowing.
I’m really excited. I really like your cinematic style of composing
Honestly I've never been much interested in classical music, or at least music that involves nothing but a piano and a player. But this really changed that for me. Beautiful.
I had heard 'Fires of a revolution' before I even knew who you were. But now a year and a half later I'm still listening to you play.
that’s a really long time to make an album. certainly seems like a whole lot of work went into it too! i just listened to the whole thing and it was really awesome. your music always helps me imagine and focus, so it’s really nice to have a album to replay now. great work, and thanks so much!
Simply...So Beautiful & Heartfelt Expression. Thank You for this Experience! 💮 🎵 🎶 🌹
The thing i love about lionel is the emotion he truly puts into his compositions. And especially the beautiful arpeggios!
Well, I guess I am a huge piano music fan now. Those goosebumps, man!
Never thought that I would like to sit and watch how one guy playing piano for 1,5 hours. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing it is
God... I can embrace these melodies in a quiet sunset, under a clear night sky full of stars, in the flames of hell or... everywhere! Made my day mate! Honestly, you're A LEGEND!
amazing, most beautiful pieces I have ever heard. This beats bands, orchestras, all the hard effort you put it this just makes me want to do something amazing. I am in shock, and I think you made my life better, not my day, month or year, my LIFE. the story's just feel so connected. I am trying to learn some myself. But I will never be as good as you, I mean, you created these masterpieces. I will try to share this with every one I know. you are a LEGEND! everyone who reads this should subscribe, I mean the effort in this!!!!!!!!
I know this probably doesn't mean much to you but I'm so so so glad you are back and even happier that you have thought things through about this youtube channel! Your music is always so inspirational and mind-boggling.
I saw this at 1am thinking I’m about to go to bed. It is now 3am and I have been laying here listening to these masterpieces for a whole 2 hours. This is incredible.
Just Thank you for that wonderful performance - probably the most useful 1hour and half of my life as a pianist
WOW! This is just amazing. Found you just half an hour ago or so. I dont listen to piano or classic music normally because I never found sth that really got me or at least not much. THIS is exactly it!! piano music in perfection for me! Its catchy and exciting and really nice to drift away. All I want from piano music. And with these explanations of you goosebumps for sure!
You and your channel are CLEARLY underrated!!!
Love it :) Greetings from Germany
Dude. I've only watched as far as the first piece, but you are really something special. The emotion you invoke with the melodies are absolutely amazing. I wish I could sub more than once, but you've got what I can give! Incredible!!!
Water flower is my favourite piece
Congrats! Thank U for those beautiful Master pieces
We waited for two months but you have returned and brought us an amazing gift! Thank you!
11:44 the feeling in that expression is so true, so good
Fires of a Revolution :
"First person to hear this was my sister and she was not impressed"
Me *reading with my mouth wide open from how beautiful it sounded from the beginning*
One year later. And this album has evolve from something Iove to something *I LIVE...* Its to express into just words, I just feel so good while listening to this
Listening Musicalstories album since 2017, these pieces never get old. And still my favorite since first day.
Edit: Will be waiting you to upload this to Apple Music too tho :)
Water Flower reminded me of my own pain of non acceptance from my pears in elementary shool. It is so terrible when you combine social anxiety and harsh behaviour of others. It got me crying and I honestly do know nothing about music and piano, but this melody is so universal and describes pain so clearly. Thank you for this album, this is truly great!
Pachabel's major canon returning brought a tear to my eye. Was a stunning performance
I can feel the pressure in your hands to transform your feeling into the music... it sounds like a Firework of grades... Impressive!!!
My forearms and fingers hurt just watching the stuff you manage to pull off. One of the absolute best composers of the 21st century.
Courage - I've never heard who experienced a song that can take you on a physical journey within like it did. Wow, tears of joy, laughter, hope, courage and overwhelm of self belief. Thank you.
This album is sooo enjoyable ! My brain is riding a hundred stories while listening.
You are now by far the composer my baby has listen the most: perfect playlist while feeding ;)
Thank you for the journeys.
(sorry for unperfect english)
Simply, loved it. U r my favourite modern pianist.
You already made my night
The Beginning Of Legends In Modern Classical Music World. His name shall leave mark in history of classical music!!!!
It's so beautiful... God... one day I'll become just like you Leonel. When you here your music it truly feels like you can not lose like the battles are never over intill their over. Truly truly inspiring right on man.(I have been practicing fur elisa for a 6 months now and can't play 10 seconds of it) but one day I'll be moving just as fast if not even faster THE BATTLES ON!
i just want you to know i was a fan back in the old days before you were this crazy famous, and your writing is what has inspired me to pursue music composition degree. i was a classical pianist for many years, i still am, but that is no longer my career direction. when i was 12 i heard your song "Fires of Revelution", and it is what inspired me to write my first major piece of music. "Wings of Fire" is what i called it lol. anyway, fast forward and ive gotten to perform with the Juilliard School, and had so many opportunities. all because you inspired me to try. music is my life, my love, my passion. your writing still inspires me to this day, and every time I'm unsure, it reminds me of what i can do with music. music is the key to the heart and soul for me. it has been, and always will be the thing that i love the most. without you, my life would be completely different. thank you for inspiring me, for helping me find music. please never stop
Hey! This is a beautiful comment, I'm so proud of you for pursuing your music passion, your playing is gorgeous!
@@MusicalBasics thank you so much!
I just wanted to say thank you. I have been listening to your music for two years now and it helped me to get through some hard times so I'm just thankful for what you have made. Love you man ❤️❤️❤️
Really sorry to hear you won’t play water flower again, such a beautiful piece of music.
A beautiful selection of pieces. I also like the title of the album very much.
Your comments in each clip give the songs that final touch of emotion that is typical of you. That's your unique feature. ;) I love that.
I'm glad you chose "Too Late" for the last track.
All in all, I think everything fits together perfectly here. Thanks for your hard work.
PS: I am beyond happy that "Pachelbel's Nightmare" is also included. ^^
Courage gave me chills. Thank you. I have been in a deep depression lately and being able to feel these songs gives me hope.
I've never heard piano like this before! I'm so glad I found your channel. The emotions, WOW, thank you for showing me that beauty and love still exist. Your soul has colors I've never seen before.
Just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thrilling and touched my soul deeply. Incredible talent
Truly, an exhilarating piece of music. Amazing work my dude!
The first one is magnificent! Wow!
You've got to be the one of most talented pianist I have seen on the internet. I first heard your song 4-5 years ago "Rising Star" and "Rolling Thunder" were my fav. I listened to them SOO much until I got sick of them lol. But now after so many years I enjoy them even. Great song, you deserve all the praise.
Simply beautiful. Halfway through the album i got home. Eyes watering i sat in my truck in my driveway to finish this album.
wow, those songs are some of the most incredible songs I've ever heard! Thank you!
Watching this makes me appreciate music even more...... well done bro. This will definitely be remembered for generations to come!!!!
I bought this when it was on your website a few years ago. I have so many backups it's not funny.
I'm glad you've recorded it again! I hope you'll make this one available for purchase too! I'm excited to hear all the little differences between the different recordings.
EDIT:
New songs new songs :D
I think they're new anyway! Same number of 'em as the first one from 2016, but vastly unfamiliar. Very excited. You're music is like no other. It's truly beautiful, thank you.
musical basics was one of the very first channels that i subscribed to and i found it through the fires of a revolution : D
so glad that he has his album now (and fires of a revolution is it now ^_^ )
What a talent. Every time he started a new piece ı tought now This is my favorite.
I heard these a THOUSAND times! I just LOVE it!💝
you deserve all the love you get man, wish you all the best in life and hope you can go further and further ahead in life🥰
Your music is magical, other-worldly, epic, ancient, angelic, revolutionary all at the same time. What a true, beautiful gift to the world.
Omg MusicalBasics, how I love your pieces, you put a lot of effort in it, I love it!!!!!!
I know he won't see this but i can't thank you enough. I was really good at piano up until recently when i lost access to one and i quit on my 2nd album. Then i saw this and decided i must not give up. I can't quit now. I just released my acoustic guitar album a few weeks ago. after a month of work. I have a new song every day now. Thank you!
Everything about this is just beautiful, even the visuals of how each note fades away corresponding with life, everything is temporary but it doesn’t take away from the sheer meaning and passion, that’s what will live on. This is why this music is so impactful and not everyone will understand that. Music is a gift and it always will be, I will never get tired of listening to these pieces and this type of music. Thank you.
Music for the Gods! Amazing!
