You can still suggest music for my 100th video until May 15th. I am looking for a calm, melancholic/nostalgic piece to play on the piano. You guys already have suggested a lot of great music in the comments section of my last video and my recent community post. I plan to play a number of your suggestions in the near future, not just the actual No 100. I will update you on this through a community post after the submission deadline.

Perhaps you would enjoy challenging something from Sakuraba Motoi's soundtrack to the second "Zan" strategy game on the X68000 16-bit home computer. It's a game about wars in Japan in the 15th century but the guy they hired was really into neo-Baroque western prog rock so they just went with it and my God did it ever work out.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to suggest a song 🙏 I'm not really certain how well it fits, but I have always loved the main theme from Coloris (Amiga) by Tor Gausen.
If you had told me in 1990 when I first played Robocop for the Game Boy that I would be listening to someone play the title theme from it on piano in 2024 I would have said you were nuts
Thanks for amazing performance! This music has always been one of my favorites and is etched in my memory. Watching this performance with the realization that there is still hope for humility!
This tune totally blew me away when I first loaded the game on my C64 in the early 1990s. It was so good that I would load the game (around 5 minutes from tape!) just to listen to it, since I wasn't bothered actually playing.
This is a masterpiece. On the more up-tempo end of the "better than it had any business being" spectrum is the NES title theme for Pictionary (Tim Follin in that case). Damn it's a banger.
My heart hurts listening to this in the best way. I used to listen to the original while I was going through probably the hardest time in my life and hearing it rendered like this strikes me very much Thank you
The original composer this piece was sadly Dunn over.. and on.. and on.. and Ariston. This is so beautiful I want it played at my funeral - the essence of hope
Oh my god, thank you for accepting my suggestion :) I'm amazed how you managed to transpose the song to piano, still kept the heart of the melody and made an awesome rendition of it. I always thought this was one of the most beautiful songs to appear in a game. Thank you for this !
@@supmattboy I heard Jonathan Dunn couldn't do nothing about it because the music belonged to Ocean or something and they didn't care, and that he wanted to jump from his apartment window everytime he saw the advert on TV. I really love how videogame music is now a respected media, but back then people were ok with stealing it without any regard to the people behind this work.... i.e. David Whittaker's "Stardust" from Lazy Jones.
When I heard this first on C64 back in the days I was just mesmerized by the song. Couldn't wait to start the game but couldn't stop the song either :D Glad to see a great cover of this wonderful song :D
Waiting for a C64 cassette to load was always frustrating, but this piece of music made the wait to play Robocop actually quite special. Grazie mille @GraziaPizzuto ❤
So many of us used to load these up on our Commodores (and other machines) back in the day not just to play, but to listen to the music. Load up to the titlescreen or in some cases stop the tape loading between levels (some level loading music faded out as the level finished loading). This on C64 (and Spectrum too!), was on another level, and your playing raises it even highter. Thanks so much!
Sounds a little like Anamanaguchi's Another Winter. Both it and the Robocop theme are tracks that have an air of melancholy, some brightness, and that hop some day those clouds part and the sun can shine again.
It's so cool that you are going through and doing these because I'm listening to much of the same canon you draw from lately, to the point where I recognized this song and got excited about you covering it even though I've never even emulated this game let alone owned a C64. It really is a great song, and I'm loving your interpretation, so thank you.
Been like almost a decade since I've found this song and I'm still listening to it... Such a beautiful composition. Many a tear has been shed to this song. It's so much more then just video game music. This is on David Wise levels of composition.
Just listening the third time in a row to this little masterpiece. 😊 This song was actually new for me and if I would have not read the title, then my last guess would have been RoboCop. Thanks so much for this beautiful piano cover version. 😊 I enjoyed it. Maybe you should consider releasing an album on physical media, like CD with some nice artwork. I would definitely buy one. Kind regards Roy
"Hey Jonathan, we need a track for this Robocop game on the Gameboy, doesn't have to be anything special, just some crunchy actiony whatever, you know the deal... ....holy shi-"
Excellent cover! I love this theme, it's so emotional. By the way, here is my suggestion for a nostalgic piano cover : "Asterix & Obelix (SNES) - London " by Alberto Jose Gonzalez.
Another excellent song as well as another magnificent interpretation, I liked it a lot, congratulations and thanks for sharing your music and talent. Greetings from Madrid and see you soon Grazia, like 82
Yeah, always found curious how Jonathan Dunn made such a beautiful, deep, emotional composition for a game about killing hundreds of people, heh. He has some great , great works, but I think this is his masterpiece.
This is so so very good - one of my favourite C64 tunes. Would love to hear you play the C64 Zamzara theme tune (Charles Deenan from Maniacs of Noise).
Remember this from the C64 in the 80s. Seems like only yesterday. Listening to it again now, I hear a strong undertone of "Without You" by Harry Nilsson in it - I wonder if this influenced JD in writing this?
Dieser Kanal verdient einfach so viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit! ❤👾👾👾 Ich persönlich würde mich sehr freuen irgendwann mal eine Grazia Pizzuto Version zu hören von Tracks aus Spielen wie "The 7th Saga, Lufia oder Lufia2" aber dies ist keine Aufforderung viel mehr ein stilles Gebet oder heimlicher Wunsch ;)
This is actually such an advanced piece of music, technically, but it's so deceptively simple and childlike when in Game Boy form. The Spectrum version is, conversely, quite moody. This could easily be put to a full orchestra. The timings and time signatures change quite whimsically. If you're looking for ideas, I would love to hear your arrangement of Chinatown by Yuzo Koshiro. The original track is 2 minutes 30 seconds, but there is a 7 minute "Expanded & Enhanced" version by MaestroDraven yt channel and a 4 minute version. I would recommend listening to the Mega Drive version.
@@GraziaPizzuto yes that's it. That is a cover. The original is probably a more coherent piece, with Koshiro using the sound chip very deftly with carefully mixed channels and use of the fm synthesizer chip.
@@GraziaPizzuto this is the original chip 4 minutes version. th-cam.com/video/P5OCfGgEtqk/w-d-xo.html It's a much brighter and clearer sound. I put no thought into how this could be turned into a solo piano piece but if you think it could be done, I feel the composition is quite emotional!
Yes that is the track. Sorry I should have left a link. Here is the 4 minute version on the original chip hardware. th-cam.com/video/P5OCfGgEtqk/w-d-xo.html It's clearer and brighter as composer, Koshiro had good knowledge of the fm hardware. I couldn't say how it would be best to set the music to a solo piano but if you think it could be done... It's a highly emotional piece I think. I reminds me of longing for home and close family.
The bassline is syncopated with the melody so this would be like playing Bach or something. I might be tempted to use big chords in place of the lead melody with sustain pedal and hammer out the bassline with one finger. It's like alot of these melodies are arpeggios programmed in not suited for playing by hand.

If you had told me in 1990 when I first played Robocop for the Game Boy that I would be listening to someone play the title theme from it on piano in 2024 I would have said you were nuts
Especially because the world was supposed to descend into madness, hell, and anarchy in Y2K lmao, here we are 24 years from that, still alive!
For some of us, we listened to this in 1 bit chip in the ZX Spectrum in 1987 and were amazed to hear it rebooted for the Game Boy.
Thanks for amazing performance! This music has always been one of my favorites and is etched in my memory. Watching this performance with the realization that there is still hope for humility!
As a child playing Robocop I always felt the theme music was sad, beautiful and deep. Something very special about it.
It does feel deep, like Yuzo Koshiro's 'Chinatown' for The Revenge of Shinobe.
And then someone remixed it with clown honks....
I've always considered this Murphy's Theme, as it's both hopeful yet wistfully sad.
You really did it justice.
"They'll fix me, they fix everything."
-Alex Murphy
This tune totally blew me away when I first loaded the game on my C64 in the early 1990s. It was so good that I would load the game (around 5 minutes from tape!) just to listen to it, since I wasn't bothered actually playing.
Same for me on my Amstrad CPC464. Robocop, and Warhawk.
The composer for the track didn't have to go so hard, but they did, and I'm grateful. You played it very well.
This is a masterpiece. On the more up-tempo end of the "better than it had any business being" spectrum is the NES title theme for Pictionary (Tim Follin in that case). Damn it's a banger.
My heart hurts listening to this in the best way.
I used to listen to the original while I was going through probably the hardest time in my life and hearing it rendered like this strikes me very much
Thank you
Well said, I second the sentiment
"Dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed"
THAT'S where this is from! Holy shit, I was wondering where this reminded me from.
I'll always think about which flavor of Doritos came first. 😌
@@AngrtardRanch or Cool Ranch?
The original composer this piece was sadly Dunn over.. and on.. and on.. and Ariston. This is so beautiful I want it played at my funeral - the essence of hope
It can only be played at the funerals of people who are recycled as robocops. So if you're into that... :)
Goosebumps here we come! 😂❤❤
Oh my god, thank you for accepting my suggestion :)
I'm amazed how you managed to transpose the song to piano, still kept the heart of the melody and made an awesome rendition of it.
I always thought this was one of the most beautiful songs to appear in a game.
Thank you for this !
With pleasure, Rafael, I liked this music immediately!
Great tune that was also used in Ariston's UK (possibly elsewhere?) TV advert & I 'm pretty sure Ocean reused it on a Gameboy game.
The Ocean-Version from Jonathan Dunn is the original. Ariston reused the Game-Boy version for their TV advert!
@Yorda68 plus Jonathan Dunn didn't get any credit for this :x
@@supmattboy I heard Jonathan Dunn couldn't do nothing about it because the music belonged to Ocean or something and they didn't care, and that he wanted to jump from his apartment window everytime he saw the advert on TV.
I really love how videogame music is now a respected media, but back then people were ok with stealing it without any regard to the people behind this work.... i.e. David Whittaker's "Stardust" from Lazy Jones.
Other way around.
Dunn created it for the computers for Ocean, the tune was ported to the Gameboy, and it was this version that Ariston used.
And on
And on
And on
And on
And Ariston
This theme always brings tears to my eyes, I dunno if its because brings memories from my childhood or because is just beautiful.
If you look at the movie itself despite the over the top stuff, In Away it is a tragic story.
Great rendition of one the best C64 themes
Old C64 child here - forgotten and worn out but this song still makes me smile. Your version is beautiful, thanks.
Superb and melancholy
I haven’t cried in many years but you almost just made me!
Always loved this tune. Lovely.
Hold up a flame for Jonathan Duuuuuunnn!

Love this! Beautiful version. It's got a Twin Peaks vibe to it.
Wow youre right. I didnt notice but it does..
Thank you for letting me enjoy this beautiful music on Christmas Day, and giving me a trip back to my childhood. Love it.
Beautiful! Well done! Took me back to my childhood and playing videos games with friends
Love it. This theme was also used in a different game, Space Station 13, to great effect.
This is absolutely one of my favourites!

Does life ever reach anything more beautiful than this?
There is literally everything on youtube. Amazing
Bella!
Such a great version of the Song! Well done

I thought I was the only one who thought that! Haha, definitely same vibes
Absolutely fantastic rendition. Brava!!!
This should have been Robocop Rouge City end credits music.

Beautiful rendition! Keep up the good work! 🎉
Awestruck. You've played a childhood memory beautifully and made it so deep I cant classify. Thank you :) You truly are talented! Bellissimo!
No importa cuántas veces la escuche, la sigo amando. Jonathan Dunn un genio, y tu Grazia una virtuosa por tan hermosa versión. GRACIAS.
Amazing! What incredible talent! :)
I have to sub to you, so talented and playing my favourite game tracks.

Absolutely amazing! That was a pleasure to listen to! ❤
Wow. Best rendition I've ever heard, bravo!
That's so fucking good.
Now this is a woman who knows that cool ranch came before ranch!
amazing, all on point 99,9% dont stop
Amazing cover
Another excellent song as well as another magnificent interpretation, I liked it a lot, congratulations and thanks for sharing your music and talent. Greetings from Madrid and see you soon Grazia, like 82
this is exactly what I was looking for, it sounds amazing :)
It's beautiful:) Who would have thought it was from RoboCop? That song would probably be better suited for Pride and Prejudice:)
Yeah, always found curious how Jonathan Dunn made such a beautiful, deep, emotional composition for a game about killing hundreds of people, heh.
He has some great , great works, but I think this is his masterpiece.
@@rafaellima83 Personally I think his Platoon theme and subtemes are his best works.
Someone once said it’s Murphy’s theme. 😢
Awesome work!! Great interpretation! Beautiful piano work!
Grazie mille Grazia.. per questa splendida interpretazione.
This is so so very good - one of my favourite C64 tunes. Would love to hear you play the C64 Zamzara theme tune (Charles Deenan from Maniacs of Noise).
Great choice and a great take on a personal favourite 🙂
That was offically outstanding work! ❤
Thank you so much!
Beautifully done, Grazia. Bravo!

You absolutely nailed it! :)
If you're taking requests, can I suggest Jonathan Dunn's Robocop 2 title music on the C64?
Play this at my funeral or don’t bother burying me at all.
