      Yup, the orchestral instrumental is what really makes me love this song so much. It gives so much more emotion to the song and I lack words to explain how extremely amazing and incredible it sounds. I don't know how to articulate some better compliments here, but it sounds absolutely stunning.

    I’m so happy that you actually were referencing Gershwin with those piano lines. When I first heard this piece I was like “huh that sounds like the pattern in the love theme from ‘Rhapsody in Blue’” and I was RIGHT and I couldn’t be any happier. Thank you for this dude

    @biancathebing6 3 года назад +64

    Rhapsody in Blue has been my absolute favorite orchestral piece since I first heard it in Fantasia back when I was 5 years old. Now at 22 I plan on using this gorgeous song in my wedding❤️
    (And honestly I keep forgetting that it is a full 3 minute song. It’s just one of those pieces that you get lost in that it feels like it’s going on forever, and yet it’s over in an instant. My fiancé isn’t much of a classical/orchestral music lover and even he had this same reaction as me. We’re wondering if this should be the song that sets the theme for our wedding!)

I have just recently found your music and at first I was pretty mad that my "original idea" to bring the world of orchestral/scores into main stream pop music was stolen, but I am so glad someone is already doing it. After hearing your music it just confirms that this is 100% what I want to do for the rest of my life. This fills my soul with such amazing bliss. Thank you, Cody Fry.

    This is one of the first songs I ever heard of yours, and ever since it's inspired me to not be afraid to incorporate this kind of color and instrumentation into music I write, even if it is pop music. I think the pop world needs more of that. This is a masterpiece and the attention is well deserved!
    I have a couple questions! What inspired you to keep the beginning simple and purely vocal? Also, did you do the mixing and mastering yourself?
    Thank you for taking risks and being such an inspiration🙏🏼

    I am a teenage boy who is in love with music and I constantly practice piano and write random melodies and songs and progressions. When I first heard your song "I Hear A Symphony", I heard some gershwin in there, which I had performed at my band at school so I was super intrigued. I think what you made is beyond spectacular, and making a pop song with such an awesome symphony part that also reminds me of some disney symphony parts. I'm trying to learn this on piano and I know it will be hard especially trying to imitate the symphony and without sheet music lol, would you mind telling me the progression to jumpstart my progress? Thank you so much, I hope to see more great songs like this one in the future:)

    My wedding day edit was put to this song. I chose two songs from you for our videographer and editor to select from and they chose this song! I listened to so many songs and the first time I heard this song on musicbed I shed a tear because it was so incredibly moving. I had no clue how our editor would be able to put a wedding video to this song but they did it and incorporated our vows into it and now THIS is our wedding song. Not the song we danced to, but the song that I play over and over in my mind with our vows intermixed. Cody you are such a gift and I am so excited to follow your career for the rest of our lives. One day I’ll be grey and old with my husband and we’ll sit hand in hand listening to this song and remembering that incredible day. Thank you.

    Next symphony orchestration you gotta throw in the JOHN WILLIAMS special of the half Dim minor II chord. It’s in all his love themes.
