Fun fact about fallen down: The original song IS actually out of tune. The key of the song sits somewhere between D and D flat major. Toby fox intentionally did this to make the song feel more "real(and imperfect)". There is a lot of metaphors and hidden meanings that can be drawn from this fact. This is only one of many examples as to why toby fox is such a great composer. Not many would even come across the idea to detune their whole song. This is actually why I personally haven't learned to play Fallen Down yet. Either way I play it it doesn't evoke the same feeling as the original. Most tutorials and music sheets tell you to play the song in D major but I personally prefer it played in D flat major because it takes on a more darker tone to it that fits more to the original.
But doesn't out of tune mean that the notes are not following a certain frequency pattern between each other? I mean, it sits between D and D flat major, but the notes are still in tune with each other, unlike seen in this video, where the notes can't really harmonize. But still, very interesting comment 👍
@@koopa_knight You are right, its not really out of tune, But not in standard chromatic scale. (Middle A = 440 Hz) this is actually pretty common, Especially in older songs that were recorded on imperfect equipment.
yeah, i realized that a while after i learned how to play it, so i just tune the keyboard down a bit whenever i play it. it's also become my signature song when playing piano.
honestly i feel like this was meant to be played on an out of tune piano. it gives the piece such a sence of nostalgia that you don’t get with a perfect tuning. kinda like canned soup vs soup made by a loved one- it tastes better not because of the quality (to a degree), but because it just feels more human.
There's a haunting beauty to the sound of an antique, out of tune piano playing music. It sorta sounds like it's stuck between timescapes, left in an eternal abyss.
It sounds timeless, yet long past in the future unknown, for the cycling of eternities while everything else slowly fades, as memories of past times disappear, and new ones are born. Like a flower bulb, it grows from the seed and lives, to show its petals of beauty, before it withers back to the ground, bitten by frost, only to come back up again when spring gives it a new hope to be reborn.
You just have to keep moving forward. I'm mentally unstable but I still don't and never want to die, I just want to be happy. My mom blames me at everything even at other people's problem and I hate it. Hopefully soon she will change. I don't have friends but I always think in my mind that my future friends will help me and are always there for me. Not one of those stupid edgy kids.
@@StrawberryLyricsWorld you should move away from your mother and cut her out of your life as soon as you can if she is only going to drag you down. Nothing wrong with cutting out toxic people
It doesn‘t sound good tho..? Edit: also the fact that the original melody is in the cracks does not change anything about how it sounds. The ratio between the notes is still the same. (Unless ofcourse you have perfect pitch)
its not technically detuned, undertales ost uses the 24 tone key system, basically where the amount of notes are stretched to where there are 24 notes instead of 12. you would get pretty much the same results though by just tuning an entire piano by like 60 cents off though
Now I know why holding the keys makes the notes play longer: There's those jagged bits that lift off the strings and lets them vibrate for longer. Neat.
It sounds more genuine when it's slightly out of tune, like a sweet ol' grandma that's trying her best. She doesn't have much, but she loves you with all her heart
Some people hate when a piano is out of tune, but I kind of like it. It’s almost like it is it’s own separate instrument. Both in tune and out of tune are great as long as you don’t think of them as the same instrument.

Relatable, honestly. I sometimes have an existential crisis when I see old pictures and videos from my childhood, but then see myself now, and I try to fathom the fact that the disheveled person reflected in the mirror is the same happy kid from those old memories.
I HAVE A PIANO JUST LIKE THIS! It’s about 102 years old it’s survived the Galveston hurricane and many other floods it’s keys are yellowing and some keys are chipped but the sound it makes may be out of tune but absolutely beautiful what makes it 4x as creepy is the old photos of ancestors and Antique items that my family has passed down like old oil lamps and candles or tea pots but the smell of the piano is what gets me all the time. It smells like lavenders. The original owner of the piano which was one my ancestors use to wear perfume that smells of lavenders.
My children heard this from another room and called out, "Is that Fallen Down from Undertale?!" I haven't played this game yet but my kids and a couple of my friends have (multiple times per person), and I'm continually amazed by all the little details and by how impressive the score is. The fact that you can play pretty much any of the music from Undertale out of tune or with an adjusted time signature or whatever and still have it be recognizable is just mind blowing to me, and I love it. Thank you for sharing.
@Amber You also need to be incredibly powerful to beat it lmao. I gave up on finishing it and understanding the story because it's way too damn hard for me to complete.
Nothing can beat the soundtrack of undertale. From the sci-fi feel of core, to the calm aura of waterfall, undertale’s music is such a diverse yet incredible experience to listen to, even when it’s out of tune
Oh my God you are so underrated. This is so calming despite how out of tune it is. Keep up the great work :] Why are some of y'all being aggressive I just said it was nice 😭
@@astro_cat030 Are they, though? I mean, I love Undertale's soundtrack, but calling it underrated just isn't true. It may be an indie game, but it's a hugely popular indie game, with a hugely popular soundtrack to match.
This feels so comforting in an odd way. Just an old piano, playing a song just a bit out of tune. Something that's just so weirdly beautiful. It feels like someone telling me to leave something behind, whether that be a friend or something im emotionally attached to All in all, its amazing.
Long long ago... A piano was built. Made for the entertainment of people, young and old. It sat. Day after day, performing for an audience that wished to hear it's melodic notes and rhythms. One day, long after it was created; the piano was put into storage, and sat alone in the dark. Cold and alone, with no one to perform for, and no one to perform with. The piano finally got it's chance to shine once more, as an aspiring young pianist bought it from an auction. Now old and decrepit, with keys out of tune this piano stands ready to create one of the few melodies. Maybe even the last of it's lifetime. But for this piano, being able to bring happiness via music to even one person...is the reason it has stood the test of time.
I closed my eyed and listened to this, and imagined a lot. Just the unclear, yet somehow known meaning of this song, on a piano that has seen time itself. It’s very meaningful, in a mysterious, hauntingly beautiful way. And when I heard the song start to end, this little imaginative world I created in my mind while listening to this song was sucked away into oblivion, and the last words my head spewed out were “It’s ending already? I don’t wanna go, I want this world to keep existing” and with a sudden stop, the song ended and I opened my eyes. Gone. This gave me chills.
I can imagine after all of the monsters escaped the underground, They made peace with the humans. And after a few generations go by and so. Some monsters come down here again on a field trip for like history class purposes and specifically in the waterfall part of the underground and game and where that piano was. some kid plays this and calls it the ,,The ancient king's ex-wife's tune’’ it sounds a bit dumb but honestly I dig it
This sounds like the epitome of looking back on what you thought was a nice childhood, and then when you think really hard you realize you were the problem child and everyone slightly resented you.
i’ve been feeling really down recently, getting out of bed is getting harder and harder. i keep finding myself coming back to this video, something about it makes me relaxed, lets me close my eyes and forget about the outside world for a few seconds. the out of tune and beaten down piano somehow after all these years sounds even better than a brand new one. the chaos coming together to make beauty, it makes me want to keep going. thank you
I found this song kinda sad, but also so wholesome. Hearing it on an old out of tune piano makes me wanna cry but also makes me keep replaying it. I'm so sensitive , i was kinda crying a bit while making this reply, but I hope you are happy knowing that I hope you feel good.
I relate to you my friend, I am also not doing my best and this video made me remember happy little me first discovering Undertale, and how I got attached to Toriel in my first play through.
an elderly toriel sits at the piano. she doesnt know how long its been since she lost her children, but a new human hasnt fallen into the underground for ages. the last one to fall just.. left her. left all of them. they're all alone down there, she's all alone down there. time marches on though, all the days seeming to blend together. she's hopeless. she opens up the piano, and plays that same comforting tune her children loved to hear all those years ago. her piano is old and out of tune but.. what's the point in tuning it, or keeping it clean? no one will visit. she plays anyway. she plays to the echoes in her home, she plays to the old dead tree outside, she plays to the golden flowers where chara lies... but nobody came.
After the pacifist ending, you and your new-found friends set out for the surface. There you spend the rest of your days, you grow up, fall in love, work on your career and move on from everything that's happened. You almost forget it all. Almost. One day you look out the window of your home (the same one that saw you grow up and grow old) and glance at mt. Ebbot, reminiscence hits you. In your old age, you once again venture out for the mountain, you could never forget the way. You enter through what once was the barrier and start making your way back where it all started. You cross New Home and shudder through the Judgement Hall, you walk carefully through the Core, you take the fastest path through Hotland. When you reach Waterfall, you make sure to check up on the old piano. Sure enough, it's still there. You play a few notes and for the rest of your journey the old, nostaligic tunes don't leave your head. Throughout Snowdin you start to remember all the things that happened over those few days that changed your life. You can't help, but smile as you remember all the friends you made here. Finally, you reach your mother's old home and although passing through the basement brings back some bad memories, you still feel nostalgic for the place. You make your way to the kitchen, making sure there's no chocolate or butterscotch cinnamon pie left over (you'd do anything to taste it again). You look through Toriel's old books, now covered in dust and you sadly smile at the now dead water sausages. As you look around the room you think about how many years have passed and how much has changed throughout them. It's hard to believe the kid that once slept in that tiny bed is now you. As you make your way down the hall you remember your mother and her favourite songs. She always stuck to the same classics, one in particular keeps playing in your head, somewhat distorted by your imperfect memory. Finally, you reach an old mirror, you look at yourself as this house has never seen you before. You chuckle softly at the image. Despite everything, it's still you.
Ayo this coment just vibe checked me, this is really good writing pal, thank you i actually haven't felt like this from anything Undertale related in years
@@sweettarts1285 Get Out is a 2017 American horror film written, co-produced, and directed by Jordan Peele in his directorial debut. It stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, and Catherine Keener. The plot follows a young black man, who uncovers shocking secrets when he meets the family of his white girlfriend.
Eerie, haunting, and yet charming. Always love the sound of older pianos like this, they just bring such a genuine sound out and often put pieces you know and love into a “new perspective” like you’re hearing it for the first time, but also like it’s something familiar at the same time somehow. Hard to explain, but I just love it
While this is one of the game songs i like the most, this one feels like a fading memory, such an incredible part of my childhood, slowly being forgotten by most people and replaced by newer games, undertale wasn't just a game, it's a masterpiece.
This feels like a very Atmosphere-accurate rendition of the song, given you’re in ancient ruins cut off from the rest of the Underground when this song plays- or just outside them
The fact that ive been sitting here for countless hours listening to this beauty over and over agen. I honestly started crying the first time i heard this. It reminds me of when i went to go visit my Great grandfather. When i saw him again i tryed to play this. Now i cant play it infrpnt of him but infront of his spirit. may he now rest in Pease. It has that old feel to it too but not too old it hits just right when played at the right time. Thanks for this for bringing back some of the old memories of him. Now whenever i cry for him i cry for the happy memories of him playing in the leaves, dancing, and playing with his dog. Whenever i hear this song i always will think of him and his wife. I never really got to meet her but I've always heard good things. May you Rest in peace Arthur and Arlena may you now always dance in the clouds together forevermore 🕊🕊
The feeling of despair after falling down, but also the coziness of a mother by your side. The out of tune notes is the despair after that fall, that fall that was supposed to take your life, but didn't, and the happy melody shows the coziness that Toriel and the Ruins represent along with its inhabitants.
i love it because despite how it's out of tune and sounds a bit off, it still holds the tune of the song. its mistakes make it feel real, like a living thing.
This sounds like how I remember undertale. It's an old and out of tune memory, a ghost of the story. It's been a long time and it feels out of grip and far. Yet you still feel the DETERMINATION and FEELINGS. ♥️ this is cringe.
That ain't cringe, it's just nostalgia. It ain't a good emotion to wallow in, but it's not a bad one to have just a bit of, so embrace it. It's why we're all watching this, after all.
I feel like every melody you heard during your childhood slowly goes out of tune in you memory so I guess hearing it played out of tune or slower sounds nostalgic because it represents how you brain tries to recreate that song from memory.
My phone going almost 4 years strong with many memories just broke today and the screen has several lines bleeding through it with black holes on 2 corners that change color/shape when u interact with the phone. This video being the first one I’ve watched with my broken but working phone really fits the situation I feel, and made me feel better and I’ve come to terms with this phone.
When my old computer broke down for good, I literally cried because it was my first music-making computer and I had put so much of my own soul into it. It hurt as much as if my own soul had died.
my childhood piano was a gift from cousins. it didnt fit in their new house, so we gave them our keyboard. i think it was out of tune the day we got it. this vid makes me think of home. ive moved twice since then, its nice to remember the days of coming home from school and playing around writing my own little compositions.
This music easily describes the words 'saudade' and 'hiraeth'. melancholic and bittersweet but without knowing what it reminds you of. it's..hauntingly mesmerizing
This makes me feel like i've got lost in some place i've never really seen but gives me a sense of familiarity and intimacy. It's like warm and cool at the same time.
Honestly, coming from an ex-piano player, and now working to become a small online writer/author Fallen Down somewhat gives me a feeling of comfort. I sometimes use fallen down while I'm writing. But I usually listen to it on the old record version, or one thats out of tune. But Fallen Down on a piano thats out of tune gives me a sense of feeling complete, its odd. Just at times how I describe myself, I may be still young. But I believe in the future I can go far with my dreams. This song honestly sounds beautiful out of tune!
So like, I know how a piano works mechanically, but actually seeing it up close like this in action really puts the marvel of the instrument and the talent of the player into perspective.
Some songs just sound right out of tune. Haunted, domestic, nostalgic in such a bittersweet way. “Married life” played nice & slow on an out of tune piano would leave a lot of people bawling.
It honestly sounds like an old-timey saloon or something you'd hear at Grandpa's house during the 1920s. (Imagining it as the people of the 20s thinking its high time to relax and recover from the Great War makes it more or less better lol)
TO ALL THE UNDERTALE FANS! I am writing a story here, take a look if you wish. :D Please read it with the music! *You're eyes fly open, and fear fills your body. 'What has happened?' you think to yourself. You see Sans sitting by some crumbling pillars, and a soft weeping noise coming from him. He stands up and is about to walk out of the ruins, seeing that he is crying heavily. Before he takes the final step, you ask softly 'where are you going?' * Sans' head whips around, and a few tears fling away from such a sharp movement. He stars running towards you, a smile appearing ear to ear. You see blood all over his jacket, and yourself too. *Before you can say anything else, he hugs you tight, and looks at you in the eyes. "How are you still alive..?" *He looks so happy and confused, and you ask him the same thing. Soon enough, Papyrus' head peeks through the doorway of the ruins. and he immediately rust to you with joy. *You politely ask the what the heck is going on, and why there is so much blood and confusion. That's when a memory hits you, like a stone in the head. *Sans had just brought out his Gaster Blasters, and without hesitation they knew what to do. That's when Sans' expression changed, and it was clear that it was all instant regret. He reached out his had to grab yours, but it was far too late. You dropped the knife you were holding, regret filling yourself at the same moment. A smile appeared as you said goodbye, and a tear shed from Sans. That's when it all went white, and a burning sensation filled your body. *You hug Sans tighter than ever, and Papyrus joins in. Years later, you, Sans, and Papyrus all became great friends. Never fighting, except for when Sans spits out an exceptionally terrible pun. The only memory of that fight was the blood stain on Sans' jacket, and the broken tip of your knife.
the out-of-tuneness gives you the feeling of a wrong world, yet the song is comforting and makes you feel like you are safe. even in a world with dangers, there is love and safety.
My friend recently left us to go live someplace else with her mother...somehow this music got me crying because it reminds me of all the memories we created before she left...we miss you already princess DABD
Sounds like what would play if you met toriel in a time in the underground where everything is going berserk and it’s been century’s since the last human came.
The thing about Undertale is it isn't just a story with characters that serve the main character's journey, it's a tale spanning the lives of countless monsters who simply happen to run into our hero. Monsters with hopes, dreams and families. Undertale is a story about pain, loss and the power of determination. Credits: to who made the comment
This music piece feels so nostalgic, and makes me remember my mother, especially with Toriel and everything. My mother was a sweet lady, taken too early. I can barely remember what she looks like, let alone what she sounded like...God, I miss her so much. I sound so old, despite being only 14 😂. It's been 5 years since she died, and I still almost expect to start preparing my stuff after spending one week with my dad, and feeling excited to see her. She died when I was 9, and I haven't been able to see my half brother since, due to a horrible relationship between my step-dad and my dad. They hate eachother, and always argue and threaten eachother. I remember that from when I was a child, standing in a parking lot when I was being picked up by my step-dad instead of my mother, and clinging onto one of their legs, holding back tears after seeing them both almost fight. My life back then almost seems...a dream compared to now. Like another's memories that were never and will never be mine, but they truly are mine, and there's nothing I can change about that fact. Wow, this kinda turned into a vent comment. If you actually read this entire thing, thanks for listening to my life

gell that aong impressed me and I have perfect pitch so I'm normally revolted by out-of-tune shenanigans

Makes it feel nostalgic, eerie, heartwarming, bittersweet, and sad all at the same time. It's relaxing and unsettling. I could listen to it for hours.
Your comment deserves one million likes
You couldn’t be more right
Damn true.
This feels so comforting in an odd way. Just an old piano, playing a song just a bit out of tune.
Something that's just so weirdly beautiful.
It feels like someone telling me to leave something behind, whether that be a friend or something im emotionally attached to
All in all, its amazing.
Long long ago...
A piano was built. Made for the entertainment of people, young and old. It sat. Day after day, performing for an audience that wished to hear it's melodic notes and rhythms.
One day, long after it was created; the piano was put into storage, and sat alone in the dark. Cold and alone, with no one to perform for, and no one to perform with. The piano finally got it's chance to shine once more, as an aspiring young pianist bought it from an auction.
Now old and decrepit, with keys out of tune this piano stands ready to create one of the few melodies. Maybe even the last of it's lifetime. But for this piano, being able to bring happiness via music to even one person...is the reason it has stood the test of time.
As someone who gets attached to inanimate objects, i would give the piano a big hug and give it 5 bucks :)
you made me cry goddamnit

Best one so far

It sounds like you’re in an old abandoned house, playing the piano in an attempt to keep the house quiet from creaks and rats.
*"Do you smell that my child?"* Toriel said with a terrifying look on her face.
YOOOO THIS GOES SO HARD !! ive finally found more fellow out of tune pianists we love to see it >:D
was not expecting to see you here
@@exynth1a215 LMAO HELLO
BROTHER JUMPSCARE ON THE UNDERTALE VIDEO
@@shino-tan4506 GO AWAY FROM ME
Me, a piano tuner: Nooooo!
This honestly makes it so much more nostalgic.
As if your gazing back fondly on a distorted memory.
I feel like that when hearing this. Because I played Undertale so many years ago, thank you for bringing this up as I have never thought of that.
I closed my eyed and listened to this, and imagined a lot. Just the unclear, yet somehow known meaning of this song, on a piano that has seen time itself. It’s very meaningful, in a mysterious, hauntingly beautiful way. And when I heard the song start to end, this little imaginative world I created in my mind while listening to this song was sucked away into oblivion, and the last words my head spewed out were “It’s ending already? I don’t wanna go, I want this world to keep existing” and with a sudden stop, the song ended and I opened my eyes. Gone.
This gave me chills.
ok
You should try some shrooms and get back to me
I can imagine after all of the monsters escaped the underground, They made peace with the humans. And after a few generations go by and so. Some monsters come down here again on a field trip for like history class purposes and specifically in the waterfall part of the underground and game and where that piano was. some kid plays this and calls it the ,,The ancient king's ex-wife's tune’’
it sounds a bit dumb but honestly I dig it
should be canon
Well as long as King wont have kids he wont die.
@@waterwolf6492 maybe they get back together and a goat baby is born, asgore probably would call it togore
The ancient forgotten queen's tune
or maybe "The Lost Queen's Melody"?
The out of tune sound actually makes it sound more beautiful. After all this time, the piano is fulfilling what it's meant to be.
something about an old piano is strangely comforting. like it used to be played and brought joy. but it has been forgotten, but yet, it still plays.
This sounds like the epitome of looking back on what you thought was a nice childhood, and then when you think really hard you realize you were the problem child and everyone slightly resented you.
i’ve been feeling really down recently, getting out of bed is getting harder and harder. i keep finding myself coming back to this video, something about it makes me relaxed, lets me close my eyes and forget about the outside world for a few seconds. the out of tune and beaten down piano somehow after all these years sounds even better than a brand new one. the chaos coming together to make beauty, it makes me want to keep going. thank you
despite everything, the sun still shines. :)
;
I found this song kinda sad, but also so wholesome. Hearing it on an old out of tune piano makes me wanna cry but also makes me keep replaying it. I'm so sensitive , i was kinda crying a bit while making this reply, but I hope you are happy knowing that I hope you feel good.
Despite everything, it's still you. Even if I don't know you, I'm proud of you for pressing forward.
Keep pressing on ❤️ Theres always someone grateful that you get out of bed in the morning
Things will get better. Stay determined!
I relate to you my friend, I am also not doing my best and this video made me remember happy little me first discovering Undertale, and how I got attached to Toriel in my first play through.
an elderly toriel sits at the piano. she doesnt know how long its been since she lost her children, but a new human hasnt fallen into the underground for ages. the last one to fall just.. left her. left all of them. they're all alone down there, she's all alone down there. time marches on though, all the days seeming to blend together. she's hopeless. she opens up the piano, and plays that same comforting tune her children loved to hear all those years ago. her piano is old and out of tune but.. what's the point in tuning it, or keeping it clean? no one will visit. she plays anyway. she plays to the echoes in her home, she plays to the old dead tree outside, she plays to the golden flowers where chara lies... but nobody came.
After the pacifist ending, you and your new-found friends set out for the surface. There you spend the rest of your days, you grow up, fall in love, work on your career and move on from everything that's happened. You almost forget it all. Almost. One day you look out the window of your home (the same one that saw you grow up and grow old) and glance at mt. Ebbot, reminiscence hits you. In your old age, you once again venture out for the mountain, you could never forget the way. You enter through what once was the barrier and start making your way back where it all started. You cross New Home and shudder through the Judgement Hall, you walk carefully through the Core, you take the fastest path through Hotland. When you reach Waterfall, you make sure to check up on the old piano. Sure enough, it's still there. You play a few notes and for the rest of your journey the old, nostaligic tunes don't leave your head. Throughout Snowdin you start to remember all the things that happened over those few days that changed your life. You can't help, but smile as you remember all the friends you made here. Finally, you reach your mother's old home and although passing through the basement brings back some bad memories, you still feel nostalgic for the place. You make your way to the kitchen, making sure there's no chocolate or butterscotch cinnamon pie left over (you'd do anything to taste it again). You look through Toriel's old books, now covered in dust and you sadly smile at the now dead water sausages. As you look around the room you think about how many years have passed and how much has changed throughout them. It's hard to believe the kid that once slept in that tiny bed is now you. As you make your way down the hall you remember your mother and her favourite songs. She always stuck to the same classics, one in particular keeps playing in your head, somewhat distorted by your imperfect memory. Finally, you reach an old mirror, you look at yourself as this house has never seen you before. You chuckle softly at the image. Despite everything, it's still you.
Ayo this coment just vibe checked me, this is really good writing pal, thank you i actually haven't felt like this from anything Undertale related in years
Not goin' hold you, this made my eyes puffy. Especially at the very end after reading all of that.
Simply beautiful
makin me cry over here 🥲
Tiny bed? Sir, that bed was massive, people dont quadruple in size from when they are an older kid.
reminds me of how my grandma used to play, thanks man :)
thats the sweetest thing
Is this an insult to your grandma

@@bigyoshi1 fair enough
Eerie, haunting, and yet charming. Always love the sound of older pianos like this, they just bring such a genuine sound out and often put pieces you know and love into a “new perspective” like you’re hearing it for the first time, but also like it’s something familiar at the same time somehow. Hard to explain, but I just love it
While this is one of the game songs i like the most, this one feels like a fading memory, such an incredible part of my childhood, slowly being forgotten by most people and replaced by newer games, undertale wasn't just a game, it's a masterpiece.
This feels like a very Atmosphere-accurate rendition of the song, given you’re in ancient ruins cut off from the rest of the Underground when this song plays- or just outside them
The fact that ive been sitting here for countless hours listening to this beauty over and over agen. I honestly started crying the first time i heard this. It reminds me of when i went to go visit my Great grandfather. When i saw him again i tryed to play this. Now i cant play it infrpnt of him but infront of his spirit. may he now rest in Pease. It has that old feel to it too but not too old it hits just right when played at the right time. Thanks for this for bringing back some of the old memories of him. Now whenever i cry for him i cry for the happy memories of him playing in the leaves, dancing, and playing with his dog. Whenever i hear this song i always will think of him and his wife. I never really got to meet her but I've always heard good things. May you Rest in peace Arthur and Arlena may you now always dance in the clouds together forevermore 🕊🕊
it sounds so mesmerizing for some reason, being out of tune fits this song perfectly. This is really awesome!
This has been said before but that's because the song itself has parts that are out of tune
i love that chorussy sound that comes out of an out of tune piano, it’s like a 12 string guitar or an analog chorus, love it
chorussy?? 😩😩
@@quakezero8968 😳
chorussy 😭
CHORUSSY
chorussy 🙂
can't believe they animated this piano correctly
it even looks so real
The melody of the song is just so solid overall, it can work in pretty much any key and instrument. Each one just adds a unique flavour to it
The feeling of despair after falling down, but also the coziness of a mother by your side. The out of tune notes is the despair after that fall, that fall that was supposed to take your life, but didn't, and the happy melody shows the coziness that Toriel and the Ruins represent along with its inhabitants.
A slightly longer version of this would be absolutely magical, phenomenal work here. ❤️
i love it because despite how it's out of tune and sounds a bit off, it still holds the tune of the song. its mistakes make it feel real, like a living thing.
even if it's out of tune, it sounds calming.
Undertale covers are practically a genre unto themselves at this point.
So relaxing... I hope you can make it full ver 😩
*The clicking sound between old piano keys fills you with DETERMINATION*
The amount of goosebumps that were just sent through my body is insane. The nostalgia hit me and I don’t know if I’m okay!
the song itself is very beautiful but when played on this piano it’s truly enchanting
This sounds like how I remember undertale. It's an old and out of tune memory, a ghost of the story. It's been a long time and it feels out of grip and far. Yet you still feel the DETERMINATION and FEELINGS. ♥️
this is cringe.
That ain't cringe, it's just nostalgia. It ain't a good emotion to wallow in, but it's not a bad one to have just a bit of, so embrace it. It's why we're all watching this, after all.
Do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part of you that cringes
Yes, it's cringe.
A familiar tune is being played on the piano
It fills you with determination
I feel like every melody you heard during your childhood slowly goes out of tune in you memory so I guess hearing it played out of tune or slower sounds nostalgic because it represents how you brain tries to recreate that song from memory.
This is strangely so beautiful. If you ever learned the whole song we’d love to hear it on this piano:)
To be honest, I'm normally not much for piano music, but this is honestly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Nearly brings tears
Nostalgy of the song makes you filled with determination.
*_"You can't sleep right now. There are lost memories nearby."_*
I don’t even know how to express how much I love this.
It shows how undertale’s music is truly timeless and calming, yet so eerie at the same time.
My phone going almost 4 years strong with many memories just broke today and the screen has several lines bleeding through it with black holes on 2 corners that change color/shape when u interact with the phone. This video being the first one I’ve watched with my broken but working phone really fits the situation I feel, and made me feel better and I’ve come to terms with this phone.
When my old computer broke down for good, I literally cried because it was my first music-making computer and I had put so much of my own soul into it. It hurt as much as if my own soul had died.
*Hearing a familiar tone remind you of your childhood , it fills you with determination
my childhood piano was a gift from cousins. it didnt fit in their new house, so we gave them our keyboard. i think it was out of tune the day we got it. this vid makes me think of home. ive moved twice since then, its nice to remember the days of coming home from school and playing around writing my own little compositions.
This music easily describes the words 'saudade' and 'hiraeth'. melancholic and bittersweet but without knowing what it reminds you of. it's..hauntingly mesmerizing
Sounds like one of those pianos you’d hear in a stereotypical saloon. It’s really good too.
“The sound of the rusty old piano playing a familiar melody fills you with determination...“
idk how to explain it but the out of tune bit makes it feel more like the ruins, which are catacombs. also just more nostalgic
This makes me feel like i've got lost in some place i've never really seen but gives me a sense of familiarity and intimacy. It's like warm and cool at the same time.
it actually gives some falling down in a dozen miles deep hole into a flower field vibes
Honestly, coming from an ex-piano player, and now working to become a small online writer/author Fallen Down somewhat gives me a feeling of comfort. I sometimes use fallen down while I'm writing. But I usually listen to it on the old record version, or one thats out of tune. But Fallen Down on a piano thats out of tune gives me a sense of feeling complete, its odd. Just at times how I describe myself, I may be still young. But I believe in the future I can go far with my dreams. This song honestly sounds beautiful out of tune!
I think Pianos just inherently always sound beautiful whether they are in tune or not.
This is as beautiful as the wreckage of the piano it was played on after it fell down the stairs
So like, I know how a piano works mechanically, but actually seeing it up close like this in action really puts the marvel of the instrument and the talent of the player into perspective.
i like how the old piano makes it sound more nostalgic and i love it! keep up the great work
You can taste the elderly humility in the dusty air.
This is really well made, and gives that extremely heavy feeling of Nostalgia
I Just need a 1h version IMEDIATLY
as both an underatale and a piano player, I've never been this conflicted before
This is hauntingly beautiful
Some songs just sound right out of tune.
Haunted, domestic, nostalgic in such a bittersweet way.
“Married life” played nice & slow on an out of tune piano would leave a lot of people bawling.
Se siente como un recuerdo viejo y doloroso, que te atormenta pero ha pasado tanto tiempo que y no se puede hacer nada por remediarlo
The world could use every single song in this kind of cover. The vibes are so cool.
The fact that this piano even works.. fills you with DETERMINATION.
It honestly sounds like an old-timey saloon or something you'd hear at Grandpa's house during the 1920s.
(Imagining it as the people of the 20s thinking its high time to relax and recover from the Great War makes it more or less better lol)
TRY IT AT 0.75 IT HITS DIFFERENT!
I prefer normal speed.
broooo :0
Whaaaaat!? It sound better actually! I like it both ways but still
Omg
It does hit different tho
this video is so comforting. thank you for posting it.
TO ALL THE UNDERTALE FANS!
I am writing a story here, take a look if you wish. :D Please read it with the music!
*You're eyes fly open, and fear fills your body. 'What has happened?' you think to yourself. You see Sans sitting by some crumbling pillars, and a soft weeping noise coming from him. He stands up and is about to walk out of the ruins, seeing that he is crying heavily. Before he takes the final step, you ask softly 'where are you going?'
* Sans' head whips around, and a few tears fling away from such a sharp movement. He stars running towards you, a smile appearing ear to ear. You see blood all over his jacket, and yourself too.
*Before you can say anything else, he hugs you tight, and looks at you in the eyes.
"How are you still alive..?" *He looks so happy and confused, and you ask him the same thing. Soon enough, Papyrus' head peeks through the doorway of the ruins. and he immediately rust to you with joy.
*You politely ask the what the heck is going on, and why there is so much blood and confusion. That's when a memory hits you, like a stone in the head.
*Sans had just brought out his Gaster Blasters, and without hesitation they knew what to do. That's when Sans' expression changed, and it was clear that it was all instant regret. He reached out his had to grab yours, but it was far too late. You dropped the knife you were holding, regret filling yourself at the same moment. A smile appeared as you said goodbye, and a tear shed from Sans. That's when it all went white, and a burning sensation filled your body.
*You hug Sans tighter than ever, and Papyrus joins in.
Years later, you, Sans, and Papyrus all became great friends. Never fighting, except for when Sans spits out an exceptionally terrible pun.
The only memory of that fight was the blood stain on Sans' jacket, and the broken tip of your knife.
*mmh this place is all rotten
*_The pilars and the walls are pretty cracked_
*_The plants are dead_
* *_Yet everything fills you with determination_*
the out-of-tuneness gives you the feeling of a wrong world, yet the song is comforting and makes you feel like you are safe. even in a world with dangers, there is love and safety.
My friend recently left us to go live someplace else with her mother...somehow this music got me crying because it reminds me of all the memories we created before she left...we miss you already princess DABD
Ahh this is so good , please can you do a longer version so I can sleep to it ?
you can loop the video
@@thomasthejetengine I agree, however, the loop would be noticeable
This is the perfect point between detunement and perfect, like a kind of Limbo. Honestly, it's an indescribable feeling.
*keys intensify*
Sounds like what would play if you met toriel in a time in the underground where everything is going berserk and it’s been century’s since the last human came.
The thing about Undertale is it isn't just a story with characters that serve the main character's journey, it's a tale spanning the lives of countless monsters who simply happen to run into our hero. Monsters with hopes, dreams and families. Undertale is a story about pain, loss and the power of determination. Credits: to who made the comment
this video makes me feel like I am not in a moment of apathy anymore.
This music piece feels so nostalgic, and makes me remember my mother, especially with Toriel and everything. My mother was a sweet lady, taken too early. I can barely remember what she looks like, let alone what she sounded like...God, I miss her so much. I sound so old, despite being only 14 😂. It's been 5 years since she died, and I still almost expect to start preparing my stuff after spending one week with my dad, and feeling excited to see her. She died when I was 9, and I haven't been able to see my half brother since, due to a horrible relationship between my step-dad and my dad. They hate eachother, and always argue and threaten eachother. I remember that from when I was a child, standing in a parking lot when I was being picked up by my step-dad instead of my mother, and clinging onto one of their legs, holding back tears after seeing them both almost fight. My life back then almost seems...a dream compared to now. Like another's memories that were never and will never be mine, but they truly are mine, and there's nothing I can change about that fact. Wow, this kinda turned into a vent comment. If you actually read this entire thing, thanks for listening to my life
ok
I hope venting made u feel at least a tiny bit better. I hope things get better for you soon
This is actually a pretty good rendition of the song.
