Hello everyone, this is the poster himself. Just thought I'd drop a comment with a little bit to say. to think, I still can't remember the password to this old account. I am fine with that, honestly. I will always have memories of this account of humble beginnings of being a kid that fell in love with this series. If it wasn't for youtube, I wouldn't have discovered this wonderful series or even met one of my oldest closest friends. We were barely in our teens, I posted this video when I was 13 years old, I wasn't even 14 just yet at that time. I am gonna be 26 this year, man time flies...I have so much to thank this series for getting me through almost all of my teen years, It still isn't easy being a fan of Earthbound(or Mother) whatever you prefer to say it is. This series connects all of us fans together in a sense, though we grow older and move on to other ventures. It is this lovely reminder of where we came from. These last years have not been the best on everyone and I am here to say it's okay, we will get through this. I know it is rough out there, you aren't alone. I want you to know that life will always have its ups and downs, no matter who you are. But you probably heard that all before, in short best wishes to all who found this video. Until then, I will see you around. -Ninten Diaz(aka Adam)
thank you for posting this All Those Years Ago. this song Coming Up in my recommended vids is like seeing a Photograph of my nostalgia for the Mother series.
@@Aweoe Fake or not, it still made me smile. If this is a fabricated comment, then I don't wanna feel any other clothing material (funny fabric pun it is your cue to laugh)
@@bakedgood I can assure you, I am the same guy. I don't know what the other guy is on about. Not like it even matters though, he is entitled to his opinion. Even if it is wrong LMAO
It's pretty appropriate how in the beginning this is really stylistically similar to the John Lennon song "Mother", considering the influence of that song on the series.
Of course, I always play this, I still miss my beautiful, strong homeland: Indonesia. I had and spent a really good time with some of my friends(and neighbors), my grandparents, and my cousins too there. It's just... unforgettable, and nostalgic. If I just look back to the past. I would never forget it, and the ones who I love the most, is my biological father who passed away since 12 years ago(February, 2010). I was 3 years old back then. And there are three words that I would never miss: "I Miss You".
I imagine this as a ballad Paul is singing in the mid 70s if The Beatles stayed together longer and this is their final song on their album labeled The End
I've had the Mother Vocal Album (which this is on) on my iPod for years. This is by far my favorite version (Besides the "Bound Together" cover), even though the quality is spotty.
The quality of this entire album is absolutely incredible. They could’ve easily just put the original in-game music on a disc and been done, but I’m so glad they did this instead.
At first I was like, "Eh, pretty good." But then at 1:32, I realized that this was better than the released version. Also, with this version, you can more clearly tell that the flutes section (2:10) is supposed to resemble "Strawberry Fields Forever."
god i could cry to this song. not kidding, it's so emotionally resonant with me, especially 1:56 - 2:23. i'm nearly tearing up writing this. mother is a fucking beautiful series. never die.
@@princebanana2758 But that means Flying Man at least was still written for Mother 1 because there's a vocal version of it released in 1989 despite it not being used as a game song until EarthBound. (year late reply whoo)
Grown-ups have done so much more stuff than me There's many things that I still want to see Now I take my backpack to the world and fill it with memories My favorite base-ball cap rests on my head My worn out sneakers, faded white and red My own guitar pick, shiny and clear Safe in my pocket, right here Though sometimes I got sad and almost cried You were right there with me, by my side I knew we were friends to the core But maybe it was something more Together we walked that road for so long We laughed, we played, we got hurt, we grew strong When taking short-cuts, and getting lost I learned what I’d known all along That even if you can’t put faith in those Who you meet, and lose, and love, and hug Over-all, you just can't give up Believing in your friends And just by being there, you've woken me Just by being who you’d always be Now I see, you helped me to know The stronger, happier me Because Like a gentle breeze, through the grass and the pine trees You always wore a smile Now we, who shared our Smiles and Tears... ...I miss you... We two are now far apart...
I think yeah, the flute part is inspired by the mellotron in Strawberry fields but the chord sequence is basically the main part of Dear Prudence. Not surprising since it's clear Keiichi Suzuki is a huge Beatles fan.
Эта музыка напоминает мне непрожитое детство. Мне страшно... Как бы я хотел отправится сейчас в прошлое и помочь себе прошлому, сказать ему "всё будет хорошо"

Thank you so much for posting! The upload of this song is what got me into the mother series

Yes
I was just about to comment this!!
Man, I need to listen to that again
It reminds me more of Imagine if I'm honest...
actually, it samples Mind Games by john lennon and the plastic ufo band, but still fitting
It just...has this nostalgic, melancholic feel to it y'know?
most definitely.
Of course, I always play this, I still miss my beautiful, strong homeland: Indonesia.

If someone told me this was an unreleased Beatles song, I would believe them.
I imagine this as a ballad Paul is singing in the mid 70s if The Beatles stayed together longer and this is their final song on their album labeled The End
Sounds like something off John Lennon Mind Games album

You have now gotten you're comment noticed (8 years later).
@@Fabian.Jand yours three years later
Bruuuuuh I miss ipods 😭

Actually, if I remember correctly, the in game music was made *after* they made these songs
@@marsybarzHey you seem familiar.....
@@Robo-pump jumpscare
They did with "World of Mother" so we got the best of both worlds.
This track uses Mellotron, which was used in the Beatles song, Strawberry Fields Forever, and the Aerosmith song, Dream On
At first I was like, "Eh, pretty good." But then at 1:32, I realized that this was better than the released version.
Also, with this version, you can more clearly tell that the flutes section (2:10) is supposed to resemble "Strawberry Fields Forever."
Same!
(Yes I'm replying 6 years later)
As a big Beatles fan I fully agree on that second part.
@@lpschaf8943 Welp, me too.
Same here
That's because both songs use a mellotron
NO THERES JUST SALT IN MY EYES
ass muncher185 ouch
This is much more beautiful than the original.
I love the kinda low-fi sound this version has going on. It kinda fits the nostalgic feel that the Mother series has going on.
I always wondered what it would've been like if this was the cast and credits theme instead
god i could cry to this song.
not kidding, it's so emotionally resonant with me, especially 1:56 - 2:23.
i'm nearly tearing up writing this. mother is a fucking beautiful series. never die.
So this as well as Flying Man were composed as far back as the original Mother but not used until EarthBound?
No. This is a re-release of the soundtrack.
Only flying man
@@princebanana2758 But that means Flying Man at least was still written for Mother 1 because there's a vocal version of it released in 1989 despite it not being used as a game song until EarthBound. (year late reply whoo)
Grown-ups have done so much more stuff than me
There's many things that I still want to see
Now I take my backpack to the world
and fill it with memories
My favorite base-ball cap rests on my head
My worn out sneakers, faded white and red
My own guitar pick, shiny and clear
Safe in my pocket, right here
Though sometimes I got sad and almost cried
You were right there with me, by my side
I knew we were friends to the core
But maybe it was something more
Together we walked that road for so long
We laughed, we played, we got hurt, we grew strong
When taking short-cuts, and getting lost
I learned what I’d known all along
That even if you can’t put faith in those
Who you meet, and lose, and love, and hug
Over-all, you just can't give up
Believing in your friends
And just by being there, you've woken me
Just by being who you’d always be
Now I see, you helped me to know
The stronger, happier me
Because
Like a gentle breeze, through the grass and the pine trees
You always wore a smile
Now we, who shared our Smiles and Tears...
...I miss you...
We two are now far apart...
Not reading all of that
@@Probatives thanks sing all of that
@@JustATH-camChannel4 too long for me to read
@@Probatives sing it then
@@Probatives If you can't read all of that, I shudder to think how you've done your resumes & essays in highschool and beyond
#ThankYouIwata I really love this game!
We all miss you Iwata, you can now rest in peace.

Wouldn't have Mother without Beatles.
This will always be my favourite version of Smiles and Tears.
This needs to be more popular. Just sayin.
it is
porky is the saddest character in the series i think, and this song is a good theme for his life
Why does this sound so much sadder than the Earthbound one
I will always associate this with that one Porky fan animation
GhostVoltage, am I right?
@@kirbendo96 I‘m actually referring to „Pokey and Tears“
(This one: th-cam.com/video/lca1O1f2K9s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Bdb7QwCy1R1sglnK )
Эта музыка напоминает мне непрожитое детство. Мне страшно... Как бы я хотел отправится сейчас в прошлое и помочь себе прошлому, сказать ему "всё будет хорошо"
I'll miss you.
This game is a masterpiece
Had to come here because the other one was deleted.😭
In Memory Of Satoru Iwata..
this dude is still active? i see that he updated one of his playlist 3 days ago
I just lost my hedgehog sonic and this song is helping me
did you find him
I did not know how damn beautiful the songs of this series are. After listening to some I really wanna play it c:
You should!! It’s such a lovely series.
Oh my god this is amazing... :')
IKR
(7 years later lol)
I wish there was a little less noise over the track, but otherwise, it’s great.
Awesome Smiles & Tears Demo Version Mother Video.
I love this music it reminds me of me
@ZantovanGillie Nope. That version was on the 2004 reprint of the album.
Amo lo deprimente que es esta canción
Perfecta para escucharla bajo la lluvia
Yea I must say that this one is better too than the original ;)
I know this is 5y ago, but technically it is the original 🤓
4:23 something about the flute in this part
SO SO GOOD
This has to play at the credits of the Earthbound Movie.
4:22 is the best part it just bleeds with nostalgia
this is just beautyful
I cry Everytime I hear this
I love this song😀
Lacking the "I miss you" is too big
EARTHBOUND THE MOVIE
love it
This kind of reminds me of summer love from Lisa the painful
i should really play this game
nada mal
Pelo contrario de mal
:')
I LOVE 4:23
Why is this called Demo Version? IMO it should be called Mother 2 Bonus Track.
:,)
1:32
I was the 1K like
0:37
