"For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." -Lord Hood, 2553

I remember hearing this on the 360 in the final days of Halo 3 before online matchmaking got shut down. Looking back, I'm actually glad I had trouble signing in to Xbox Live one day and was stuck on the title screen, since otherwise, I would not have heard this music and enjoyed a nice emotional moment before Halo 3 multiplayer ended forever. Thank you for this video, VGP, since thinking about this song makes me want to get the Halo 3 soundtrack now.
A beautiful piece to perform for Veteran's Day. You're able to bring out the emotions without it feeling forced which adds so much to the atmosphere and shows just how hard you work! Also loving the videography/audio and concert hall setting! Very nice VGP
Man, so many arrangements of this get the “notes” and it sounds decent, but you have stunning command of the line. And you captured the voicing of the orchestral part wonderfully. Bravo!
Back when I had itunes and it showed how many times I played each song, I saw that i played this song over 10,000 times. Its melancholy and hopefulness powered me through some dark times. Never forget hit home for me. I learned how to play it in a simplistic way on piano for myself, to be able to feel the song. This is the best I've heard anyone play it. Bravo! Truly a masterpiece.
I’m so grateful to have the chance to grow old and die peacefully one day, living a life with people I love… all because some others who I will never know decided to die a young violent death for me. I’ll never understand
This song represents the (well needed) death of humiliation in halo multiplayer, toward teammates and opponents. No tea-bagging, no intentional friendly fire ...
Funeral for my teen years, and early 20s. For the amazement & fun that was experienced in Halo 3. Unfortunately the multiplayer was too toxic (teabagged, being called racial slurs, & being shot down by teammates) in my experience, and it weighed on me for years. Now I release the past.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written in my opinion.
We didn't deserve what Marty did for us.
Believe me thats Not only your opinion
@@mitchconner2021 it was Mike Salvatori who composed it not Marty
@@mitchconner2021it is Mikel Salvatori song not from Marty
/signed 🖤
If this isn't played at my funeral I ain't gonna be there
I was literally just thinking about how I’d guarantee this was played at my own funeral

Halo 3 has one of the best soundtracks in gaming history.
I'm grateful for having memories of the original Halo Trilogy. Amazing performance.
The legacy of Martin O'Donnell in the VG soundtrack world here can never be understated or indeed, forgotten.
I wish more people talked about this.. Marty has made some of the most beautiful songs ever made not just in video games.
@@mitchconner2021 Just rather sad how he is ruining his legacy with rhetoric and toxic attitudes, lately.

don't forget Michael Salvatori
I'll never forget Bungie's Halo
Absolutely unfathomable how good it sounds. 2:23 just sends chills. Great work!
Thanks so much! I hope you never forget this performance! :)
Right
Thanks for watching this video! I'm working hard on the next video. Stay tuned!
Brings back so many memories I’ve had playing halo 3 as a kid😢😢 will go down as one of the best video games of all time.
tell me there's something more bittersweet than this masterpiece. I'll wait
Look up the On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter (used most famously perhaps in the movie 'Arrival')

Never forget is my favorite halo song.
This sounded really nice :)
Same here
This is the one song I would love to see someone play on a public piano. See how many people will recognize it.
5 seconds in I’m tearing up, this music just does something to me.

Thanks Timothy for noticing what I didn't do, such as forcing the emotions! Very astute observation. Less is more.
Never played Halo before but know you brought the music to life VGP
Beautiful performance!
so beautiful! I miss Halo
damn, this is beautiful
Man, so many arrangements of this get the “notes” and it sounds decent, but you have stunning command of the line. And you captured the voicing of the orchestral part wonderfully. Bravo!
Thanks for listening! It was wonderful to have met Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, composers of the Halo franchise.
One Of The First Games I Played Was Halo. I Loved It So Much! It's Great To See Others Love It Too. Great Job Man!
This sends chills down my spine. This performance is nothing but beautiful. The emotions feels so natural. Amazing work!

Brings back childhood memories. Great game, and amazing performance. Thank you for making this.
It's inspiring me to want to learn how to play piano just so I can play this song

Moved me to tears. Thank you for such beautiful art and awe talent.
Art ❤😌
This is Art, so many feelings in so a few notes.

Never Forget gives me chills to this day. Amazing rendition of this piece, well done.

Such a stunning piece. And a amazing preference. Truly brought tears to my eyes with the beauty of this piece. Amazingly done. 👏 👏 bravo
