Clair de Lune, one of Debussy's finest works, a journey of emotion and intensity. This has been a favorite of mine for a long time now, and I'm glad I could perform it for you! Thank you for enjoying my videos so far, there are many more to come :D
Rousseau how long have you been playing piano for? I really wanna be able to play this by heart but I haven't even played twinkle twinkle little star before haha
You're incredibly talented, and the amount of time and practice you've put into playing the piano really shows. Subbed, and I very much look forward to what you show us next :) Thanks for uploading.
I have played piano for 18 years. My Dad loved this song. I played this for him frequently. He said if I memorized this piece he would give me $100. I had a concert and featured this piece and after the concert my dad gave me the $100. A few years ago he passed away and I played Clair de Lune at his funeral. I know he heard me when I played this at his funeral. He can hear me playing the piano still. RIP Dad.
I was lucky enough to be born into a house with music. My dad loves to play piano, and he wasn’t the most talkative person, but when he started to play piano, you could feel him speaking to you. When I was 2 years old, he would sit me on his lap and play this song. When I was 14 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer, and they told him he wouldn’t live to the end of the year (it was August) He lived for two more years, defying everything the doctors had told him. He died surrounded by his family, and his last words to me were, “never stop playing, can you please, play for me? And not forget me? Can you do that for me?” At his funeral, I was asked if I would play a song, and I chose to play this song, the song he played while I would sit on his lap. The song that could bring back a thousand memories. And now, 8 years later, I sat down at the piano with my beautiful 2 year old girl, who we decided to name Claire, and played this song for her.

After 6 months, I've finished to learn this piece by heart and can play it wherever I want, so I play it as soon as I can play it. Nobody cares, yes. I'm just proud of me for the first time in my life. Hope you're proud of yourself.
Im really proud of you. This is a really hard and beautiful song. I know that people just don’t care but you do it for yourself. Keep up the good work💪🏽
Funny thing is that "Clair de Lune" means "moonlight" and so I guess Beethoven and Debussy both had very different views on what moonlight should sound like.
@@mutated__donkey5840, Their are two kids of people in this world. Also, I wonder how the two of them spent their nights sleeping. I wonder if Beethoven even got sleep.
Except Beethoven never actually called it Moonlight Sonata himself. Sonata quasi una Fantasia was the official title and it was Ludwig Rellstab, a german journalist and music critic who coined that title. A popular (yet unconfirmed) theory is that Beethoven himself was probably rather thinking about going through varies stages of grief when writing that as it was in a way, a love letter to a woman that spurned him. As such you have to see the three movements differently. Depression, Denial, Anger... That's how I would see the three movements of the sonata personally but as always, it's a matter of interpretation. But it's safe to say that Beethoven most likely did not think of the moon when writing his piece.
A single comment can't describe my appreciation for this piece, i am in awe everytime i listen to it, like a feeling I can't quite describe. I love Clair de Lune
It makes me so happy hearing how this piece has also affected millions of other people. Clair de Lune takes you on a ridiculously emotional journey and is just so beautiful. What a piece
I was playing this piece, about 4 months ago. I was about half way through it, working on getting the first couple pages down, when my piano teacher died. She was one of a kind. I have a new one, now, but he's not even close to as good as my old one. This was the first time I had the courage to listen to it again. So beautiful
That's actually really wholesome, I'm 18 and want to learn this, it makes me think about life, and how it changes around you, you can't control it and the harder you try to grip to the past the harder the future will hit you, it's a scary thing life.... I'm scared of what it will throw at me......
The transition at 2:05 brings tears to my eyes. I love this piece so much. It reminds me of walking through the music hall in school, and hearing all the beautiful music surrounding me. Good times.
it’s so weird that everyone’s saying it’s about love or grief cause in my head i always picture a slow rainy day on a lake or something with no humans at all just the beauty of nature (edit: finally finished this after 1 year)
(To my knowledge) the actual meaning, so to say, of this is about the Beauty of Moon, and such is it that only music, not words, can come close to describing it, that music being "Clair de Lune"
Phoenix That’s not something you would call “beautiful”. The Turkish March is a delightful piece that’s going to cheer you up. It’s not something you would call “emotional”. It still is one of my favourites though!
I am so greatful Hakita included this piece of art in his game. (and I'm glad he uses classic music as part of build-up before bosses that will tear you apart)
my mother just passed a few days ago. She was a classical pianist. As she aged, she wasn't able to play complex songs. I remember as a child laying on the floor for HOURS, listening to her play Debussy, Lizst, Beethoven, and more. No matter how bad things got as a teenager, I was always pulled back to her by her music. It would pour through my soul. And it does once again. It always will. Thank you, mom.
I just cried happy tears reading this while the music played… thank you for sharing.. I bet your mother was amazing. May she rest in peace, and may you carry this with you wherever you are ❤
Clair De lune is an amazing song! It's almost like a the song of the story you don't want to end, a happy ending yet you feel sad; you want to know what happens next. But you will never know. This song is truly a masterpiece.
Is it me or does the intro sound more beautiful the second time around at the end when it plays it again. Makes you feel like you went on a journey and got back home.
The way i see it this isnt a love story, its a story about losing someone you love and how you feel afterwards. And throughout the song it takes you through the different stages of dealing with loss, until it finally ends with acceptance
imagine playing that in the empty dark auditorium with a piano in the middle.. all the seats are empty as everyone else is eating lunch. but instead of feeling lonely, the melodies accompany you.

I heard a man play this song at a recital, and I fell in love with it. For an hour, I looked and looked just to find the name of this piece, and I have finally found it! Absolutely beautiful 🤩
My son died 2 years ago, this was one of his favourite pieces of music, when I listen to this I feel peace and tranquility, and totally connected to him, sleep sweetly boy.
A fine example of why music is the best. No need for eyes, touch or smell. Just hearing such a marvelous piece of music is a complete journey in itself.
My dad loved this song. He passed away recently and I got the chance to play this at his funeral. Something he told me before he left was: "When you lose something dear to you, you lose a part of you. You may grieve. You may cry. You may grow angry, believing it was your fault. But know that nothing in this world lasts forever. Eventually everything will disappear. But before that time comes, live your life to the fullest. Don't hold yourself down and mope in your self pity. If you fall, pick yourself back up. Keep dreaming. If you keep pushing forward, you will find happiness once again. And if you already have. Strive further." Miss ya dad I'll never stop loving you (I know there's another comment about their father passing as well. I genuinely mean what is said here. And my heart goes out to that person and anyone else who's ever lost someone dear to them. Even though their gone, their memory remains with you. Be grateful that you still have that.)
My grandfather just passed yesterday 2 hrs after i got to work... He was 92, im 25 years old and this song takes me back to the old days when i was young and he and grandma were still alive.... not a care in my young life, but ill stop giving a sob story and say ill love you and miss you forever grandpa.. Poohbear is going to make you proud and i promise ill be the man you raised us all to be. 1/9/21
I don’t cry almost ever. I’m a 20 year old dude. No movie can make me cry, no sad video, nothing…. But this song makes me ball my eyes out almost immediately.
It's like the calm after the storm, and the last drops of rain as you look over the horizon, the skies open, birds chirping, slow evening breeze brushes across your face

I'll never understand how people can play piano. It just amazes me. Having to use all your fingers playing different notes and then your feet as well seems much more than my brain could handle. I played french horn in high school and 3 fingers and mouth to make one note at a time was all I could handle. Bravo to all of you lucky enough to have this awesome talent and what pleasure it must give you!
I play guitar and percussion, I wish I could play Piano. I'm sure if I put the time in i would get the hang of it, but after working to get where i am on other instruments i get frustrated being a beginner again on another lol idk if that makes sense.
My son was something of a child, piano prodigy until he was 16 when a brain disorder struck him. He could play this song; learned it by ear. We listened to it and he played it a lot. Now I almost force myself to listen to it because it makes me cry. But it’s therapeutic. Love and enjoy your children every minute of every day. You don’t know how long you’ll have them. My son is alive but he’s not the same as he was 20 years ago. Never will be.
I first saw this exact video 6 years ago when it came out, and instantly fell in love, knowing one day I'd be able to play it, no matter how long it took. I was in high school and frequently watched MIDI/Synthesia-type tutorials, particularly channels like Rousseau and Patrik Pietschmann. I found myself learning far more of Patrik's videos as they tend to be more pattern-based playing and slightly easier to learn from watching, as opposed to reading of course. A few life issues got in the way and really smacked me down, so I felt awful for quite some time, but after 2 years of procrastinating and putting it off due to lack of motivation, I finally decided to start learning this piece and now I'll always say Clair de Lune pulled me out of the hole I was in. It didn't take as long to learn as I thought (~3 months of consistent practice), but will always be my favourite piece of music because of how it helped me process that incredibly complex and volatile range of emotions. Claude Debussy, hats off to you. Rousseau, THANK YOU.
Une partition intemporelle, une œuvre chargée d’émotions et du surnaturel, Debussy fut l'un des meilleurs pianistes que la France ait jamais eu. Je dois jouer cette partition avant fin de cette année 2025. C'est incroyable, c'est sublime !
I fully learned this song last year this time but now I have forgotten most of the song apart from the main chorus bit, so now I have taken it up for my self to learn the entire thing again!
This is my favorite piece. My grandmother’s passion has always been the piano. Even now with her dementia, she can still play most of this song by memory. I regret never paying attention in her piano lessons when I was younger so I could play for her now.
Well you're probably never going to read this message, but I started learning this piece 6 months ago when I discovered your channel, and I just finished to learn it. This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard or ever played. I'm so thankful about that because that's not that hard for many people but for me, this is an epic one. This is incredible, thanks.
My dog Sara had dementia, and everything would terrify her. Your phone buzzing, a knock at the door, a creek in the house, and would cause her to shake so much. Almost anything. But one night, as she was laying down with me, I found this song in my feed and played it. Sara stoped shaking, and closed her eyes and finally relaxed & was just so calm. My family and I had to put her down, for her dementia and abdominal cancer today. That has been the hardest thing I've had to do. 14 years of memories with her, laughing, crying, anger, happiness, just rushed into me as I was petting her motionless body. I love you Sara, may you finally rest in peace. ♥️
Your story has made me cry, just recently we had to give away our precious dog, we didnt want her to run away and get ran over by a car. I feel you man....
@@abstract0407 to some they can be family, children, companions; loved deeply throughout their entire lives. to say "animals are just animals" is crass and soulless when to many they are much more.
Clair de Lune feels almost like a bittersweet goodbye to me. The beginning is very smooth and slow, but progressing through it seems like the music is getting more aggressive and fighting itself almost and then the chords seem to become more sad than an angry major type of thing if that makes sense, and then it slows down towards the end and almost resolves itself. It is truly beautiful
@@sfisher923 Debussy was dying when he made clair de lune, the feeling of hearing that you won't recover and that you will die sooner or later, most people would just give up on everything but Debussy gave us this beautiful piece
David Zhou This is WRONG on so many levels. You are only allowed to enjoy this music assuming you have undergone a traumatic experience that defines the story behind the music.
When I listen to Claire De Lune, I imagine myself playing on a grand piano alone in a room during nighttime and the moonlight just reflects through the window..
wth thats exaclty it. thank you. im in love with someone whos four years older than me but she doesnt know and she has a boyfriend. but i love her. Im young btw 14 butwith my life experiences im basically 16 i love her butidk what to do
Whenever I hear this, it gives me this scenario where an old person is rocking back and forth on a chair while smiling. The memories playing inside their head as if a film in a cinema which started from the day they were born and ending to how old they've become now. The rollercoaster of different things they've done from playing toys to hanging out with friends and family. The hardships they struggled to surpass in school and the job they tried to get into but failed. Now, they're rocking back and forth on a chair, finally taking their last breath to which then, closed their eyes in peace. Edited: Everything might be hard for everyone right now but I wished we all can grow old together in this beautiful and strange world. To be able to experience all of this once in a lifetime is a massive gift to me.
Hey!! I imagine the same thing too! Also, I imagine that I am in a country house and this music is playing on a very old radio, and it's night with full moon. I'm very old, rocking in my chair on the patio. The radio is on the table beside me. I've made peace with my past a long ago, now all I have are happy memories. I'm not afraid to die, I'd welcome it when it comes. That's what I imagine. That's what feels like a peaceful end.
This composition really does perfectly conjure up the image of moonlight. It makes me think of a lonely walk on the beach at night, with the moon reflecting off the water.
Man dont... The last person that got that well the person that made him feel that way was hanged by a pully and crushed by a spiky piano board as Der Flowalzer played... Then the man listened to this song which is the only thing to remember her by...
A friend of mine played this song to me, I already had the envy to start learning piano but listening to this beautiful piece, I felt like I had no other choice but to learn it. So at the end of December i started learning piano and music theory on my own, I am now at minute 1:56 . I am determined to get to the end whatever it takes, even my sanity...
I’m also determined to learn this piece. I’m planning to start in the summer. I’d love to see your progress so far. Maybe upload a video or something? Good luck!
When I first listened to this song I was like, “I’m gonna learn to play this to finally impress my parents” it’s been over a year, I finished learning the song yesterday. Music flows from my house now. . Update: I love playing this song for people, I’ve played it so many times. I’ve started learning new songs such as Chopin’s Fantaisie Impromptu. See y’all when I’m done Update: I learned moonlight sonata 3rd mvt. Why? Idk
I've been playing the guitar for 4 years and now I'm somewhat proficent at it. Today marks the day I started to learn the piano and I promise myself to be able to play this after a year (or two lol). Wish me luck. PS: Suggestions for beginner songs that aren't boring?
This is one of those rare pieces of music that I simply cannot listen to without crying. It’s so heartfelt and ethereal, and carries this intangible quality with it that feels like the manifestation of pure beauty. How lucky we are to live in a world where it exists alongside us.
It’s hard to not imagine that this piece was created in a similar way that people channel spirits. This piece to me is essentially hearing the voice of god.
@@morethanjake6002it just sounds like some random incoherent banging of the piano tuts, no pattern, no climax, just some out of control movement of fingers on the piano. A 7 year old would compose and play something like this, and completely forget the next notes just a while later. Voice of God? You must be delusional.
@@morethanjake6002 Was it really? That would explain a whole lot. This song is Love expressed in sonic form. I've noticed that any images set to it seem to work; when I imagine the horrors of the world set to this music it helps me to gain perspective, to have compassion for the suffering of others rather than rage at those who cause it. It really is an incredible peace of music.
And that's kinda exactly how it is used in one of my favorite movies. It's the ending scene of Frankie and Johnny. Give it a watch if you haven't already. This also goes for anyone reading this.
that's most accurate description of safe room in the evil within game where claire de lune is used to playing. The world around is literally collapsing, and among this chaos there is safe room, safe and sound, where you can save the game and boost your skills and weapons to go on "escaping the long way down". Developers have chosen the soundtrack perfectly
This is the most emotional piano song to ever grace my eardrums. Each note is perfectly placed, perfectly timed to create the finest feeling of nostalgia, with a tint of dread that impregnates the entire composition. Melancholy made music.
I never get dread from it or melancholy I sleep to this song It makes me feel like a long day is winding down, and i have time to reflect on all ive done, need to do.
I actually started danganronpa 3 and I finished the class trial and I’ve seen things- also I’m on chapter 2 close to you- also I’m on the part where all of our motives get mixed up- i *HOPE* nobody gets killed :((
I think this song describes the stages of grief 0:00 to 1:13 is Denial 1:13 to 1:54 is anger 1:54 to 3:13 is bargaining 3:13 to 4:24 is depression 4:25 to 5:14 is Acceptance This comment is not based on factual evidence, more so just a theory
I did some reading up on this because I thought it was kinda interesting. Says in an article that it's a piece "which depicts the soul as somewhere full of music ‘in a minor key’ where birds are inspired to sing by the ‘sad and beautiful’ light of the moon." I can definitely see the stages of grief, though.
When I listen to this masterpiece I think of: a perfect time… biking in the woods… good talks… catching up past moments and things unsaid… timeless whisper of things to come… going for a walk in nature… writing while 🎧 to 🎼
I closed my eyes and felt transported back to my childhood, navigating through sweet memories of family time. I saw myself walking through the streets of paris in cold winter night. I saw the lights of NYC as we celebrated christmas.... this is such a powerfully emotional piece. Merci Debussy

I don't know If I am a talent or not, but when I got guitar from zero and I started working hard in a whole year my technic got to "Megadeth stuffs" and "Dream Theater stuffs"...

You do know that there are enough people on Earth with 12 fully functional fingers to make it a default trait in humans through selective breeding? Well, now you know! :)
This song has a vibe that I can't describe. It's like: "I'm feeling bad today, gonna recall memories about good old times!.. Yeah... Good old times..."
I am taking piano lessons, and I am not good at playing with two hands. But I would sure love to play this song. Not only because I wanna show off to my friends, “hey look! I can play the song from dandys world!” But also, because this is an amazing piece. And I would just love to play this, and be so proud of myself for playing this, and for overcoming all of the things/obstacles in life. This is just a nostalgic song no matter what. Ok, I hate to be like this in a classical song, and to all the people who love and appreciate this song. *But dandy is coming for me* . (If ykyk)
my auntie was a concert pianist. I remember she loved playing this song specifically because of the indescribable emotions it gives someone… just yesterday she passed away and hearing this song brings a sort of peace yet emptiness to me. i loved her to bits. she was like my mom and god i wish i could hear her play this once more...
Yo just imagining this over the sun expanding and slowly burning the earth and swallowing the inner planets would be so cool. Might need to make a video like that sometime if I learn animation or something like it.
My goal for this summer is to be able to play this song from beginning to end! Hopefully all those years of piano lessons won't go to waste. Wish me luck everyone!!

I was lucky enough to be born into a house with music.
My dad loves to play piano, and he wasn’t the most talkative person, but when he started to play piano, you could feel him speaking to you.
When I was 2 years old, he would sit me on his lap and play this song. When I was 14 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer, and they told him he wouldn’t live to the end of the year (it was August)
He lived for two more years, defying everything the doctors had told him.
He died surrounded by his family, and his last words to me were, “never stop playing, can you please, play for me? And not forget me? Can you do that for me?”
At his funeral, I was asked if I would play a song, and I chose to play this song, the song he played while I would sit on his lap. The song that could bring back a thousand memories.
And now, 8 years later, I sat down at the piano with my beautiful 2 year old girl, who we decided to name Claire, and played this song for her.
That is beautiful really

Phoenix That’s not something you would call “beautiful”. The Turkish March is a delightful piece that’s going to cheer you up. It’s not something you would call “emotional”. It still is one of my favourites though!

my mother just passed a few days ago. She was a classical pianist. As she aged, she wasn't able to play complex songs. I remember as a child laying on the floor for HOURS, listening to her play Debussy, Lizst, Beethoven, and more. No matter how bad things got as a teenager, I was always pulled back to her by her music. It would pour through my soul. And it does once again. It always will. Thank you, mom.
I'm so sorry for your loss, hope you feel better soon❤
I'm so, so sorry! Your mom sounded so cool! I hope you're left with the very best of her memories. My mom passed a few years ago too.

Clair De lune is an amazing song! It's almost like a the song of the story you don't want to end, a happy ending yet you feel sad; you want to know what happens next. But you will never know.
This song is truly a masterpiece.
Is it me or does the intro sound more beautiful the second time around at the end when it plays it again. Makes you feel like you went on a journey and got back home.
Juan Jimenez I think that’s the idea
Juan Jimenez well said
Yeah, the reprise at the end is much more poignant and kinda feels like reflecting on the past
*Despite everything, it's still you.
My favourite part when the intro is re-played the second part is when it plays the high FM3 and puts the diminished B lower down.
The way i see it this isnt a love story, its a story about losing someone you love and how you feel afterwards. And throughout the song it takes you through the different stages of dealing with loss, until it finally ends with acceptance

My dad loved this song. He passed away recently and I got the chance to play this at his funeral.
Something he told me before he left was: "When you lose something dear to you, you lose a part of you. You may grieve. You may cry. You may grow angry, believing it was your fault. But know that nothing in this world lasts forever. Eventually everything will disappear. But before that time comes, live your life to the fullest. Don't hold yourself down and mope in your self pity. If you fall, pick yourself back up. Keep dreaming. If you keep pushing forward, you will find happiness once again. And if you already have. Strive further."
Miss ya dad
I'll never stop loving you
(I know there's another comment about their father passing as well. I genuinely mean what is said here. And my heart goes out to that person and anyone else who's ever lost someone dear to them. Even though their gone, their memory remains with you. Be grateful that you still have that.)

I'll never understand how people can play piano. It just amazes me. Having to use all your fingers playing different notes and then your feet as well seems much more than my brain could handle. I played french horn in high school and 3 fingers and mouth to make one note at a time was all I could handle. Bravo to all of you lucky enough to have this awesome talent and what pleasure it must give you!

The French horn is still one of the tougher instruments to play

I first saw this exact video 6 years ago when it came out, and instantly fell in love, knowing one day I'd be able to play it, no matter how long it took. I was in high school and frequently watched MIDI/Synthesia-type tutorials, particularly channels like Rousseau and Patrik Pietschmann. I found myself learning far more of Patrik's videos as they tend to be more pattern-based playing and slightly easier to learn from watching, as opposed to reading of course.
A few life issues got in the way and really smacked me down, so I felt awful for quite some time, but after 2 years of procrastinating and putting it off due to lack of motivation, I finally decided to start learning this piece and now I'll always say Clair de Lune pulled me out of the hole I was in. It didn't take as long to learn as I thought (~3 months of consistent practice), but will always be my favourite piece of music because of how it helped me process that incredibly complex and volatile range of emotions.
Claude Debussy, hats off to you.
Rousseau, THANK YOU.

My dog Sara had dementia, and everything would terrify her. Your phone buzzing, a knock at the door, a creek in the house, and would cause her to shake so much. Almost anything. But one night, as she was laying down with me, I found this song in my feed and played it. Sara stoped shaking, and closed her eyes and finally relaxed & was just so calm.
My family and I had to put her down, for her dementia and abdominal cancer today. That has been the hardest thing I've had to do. 14 years of memories with her, laughing, crying, anger, happiness, just rushed into me as I was petting her motionless body. I love you Sara, may you finally rest in peace. ♥️

Clair de Lune feels almost like a bittersweet goodbye to me. The beginning is very smooth and slow, but progressing through it seems like the music is getting more aggressive and fighting itself almost and then the chords seem to become more sad than an angry major type of thing if that makes sense, and then it slows down towards the end and almost resolves itself. It is truly beautiful

Whenever I hear this, it gives me this scenario where an old person is rocking back and forth on a chair while smiling. The memories playing inside their head as if a film in a cinema which started from the day they were born and ending to how old they've become now. The rollercoaster of different things they've done from playing toys to hanging out with friends and family. The hardships they struggled to surpass in school and the job they tried to get into but failed. Now, they're rocking back and forth on a chair, finally taking their last breath to which then, closed their eyes in peace.
Edited: Everything might be hard for everyone right now but I wished we all can grow old together in this beautiful and strange world. To be able to experience all of this once in a lifetime is a massive gift to me.
ENOUGH WITH THE SAD STORIES!!!! T_T
This song is beautiful and I definitely see it fitting with this scenario
Hey!! I imagine the same thing too! Also, I imagine that I am in a country house and this music is playing on a very old radio, and it's night with full moon. I'm very old, rocking in my chair on the patio. The radio is on the table beside me. I've made peace with my past a long ago, now all I have are happy memories. I'm not afraid to die, I'd welcome it when it comes. That's what I imagine. That's what feels like a peaceful end.

@@morethanjake6002it just sounds like some random incoherent banging of the piano tuts, no pattern, no climax, just some out of control movement of fingers on the piano. A 7 year old would compose and play something like this, and completely forget the next notes just a while later. Voice of God? You must be delusional.
@@morethanjake6002 Was it really? That would explain a whole lot. This song is Love expressed in sonic form. I've noticed that any images set to it seem to work; when I imagine the horrors of the world set to this music it helps me to gain perspective, to have compassion for the suffering of others rather than rage at those who cause it.
It really is an incredible peace of music.

It sounds like someone you love holding you close and tight, the warmth giving you a feeling of serenity, despite the world around you ending.
And that's kinda exactly how it is used in one of my favorite movies. It's the ending scene of Frankie and Johnny. Give it a watch if you haven't already. This also goes for anyone reading this.
The Light we Cannot see...starring Hugh Laurie....
And now in the closing credits of The Creator
KAEDEEEEE
that's most accurate description of safe room in the evil within game where claire de lune is used to playing. The world around is literally collapsing, and among this chaos there is safe room, safe and sound, where you can save the game and boost your skills and weapons to go on "escaping the long way down". Developers have chosen the soundtrack perfectly
Such a beautiful piece. And how the graphics are laid over the piano strokes is fascinating
This is the most emotional piano song to ever grace my eardrums. Each note is perfectly placed, perfectly timed to create the finest feeling of nostalgia, with a tint of dread that impregnates the entire composition. Melancholy made music.
I never get dread from it or melancholy
I sleep to this song
It makes me feel like a long day is winding down, and i have time to reflect on all ive done, need to do.

@@thegamemaster9872 IDK IM SORRY! I FINISHED CHAPTER 1 AND I CANT STOP HURTING MYSELF
Fun fact; I'm already on chapter 3
I actually started danganronpa 3 and I finished the class trial and I’ve seen things- also I’m on chapter 2 close to you- also I’m on the part where all of our motives get mixed up- i *HOPE* nobody gets killed :((
@@swaggy4672 did you play at all in the last 5 hours? I wanna hear your thoughts lol
WhY 😭😭😭😭
I think this song describes the stages of grief
0:00 to 1:13 is Denial
1:13 to 1:54 is anger
1:54 to 3:13 is bargaining
3:13 to 4:24 is depression
4:25 to 5:14 is Acceptance
This comment is not based on factual evidence, more so just a theory
Holy crap you're right, maybe not denial though at the beginning
No.
I did some reading up on this because I thought it was kinda interesting. Says in an article that it's a piece "which depicts the soul as somewhere full of music ‘in a minor key’ where birds are inspired to sing by the ‘sad and beautiful’ light of the moon." I can definitely see the stages of grief, though.
holy crap bro, you're right
Your looking too deep honey
When I listen to this masterpiece I think of: a perfect time… biking in the woods… good talks… catching up past moments and things unsaid… timeless whisper of things to come… going for a walk in nature… writing while 🎧 to 🎼
Listening, with my eyes closed, I find myself moved to tears. This is what music is supposed to do, make you FEEL.
Exactly!
In a world that’s working hard to turn us into bots, this is essential and priceless
I closed my eyes and felt transported back to my childhood, navigating through sweet memories of family time. I saw myself walking through the streets of paris in cold winter night. I saw the lights of NYC as we celebrated christmas.... this is such a powerfully emotional piece. Merci Debussy
And also feel pain while learning it
@@jerryschwien9070 From pain to beauty ... what a marvelous transformation to accomplish, and all on your own. Salud 🙏
I'm a guitarist, but I confess that I usually spend my time appreciating this beaulty called P I A N O
same lol I only know i little piano but i wanna learn so much more
@@bonzo1975 when i finish this "study season" for entering a college, i'll be back in my music studies!
(Unfortunatelly here in my country, good music and good musicians are the same as shit... We don't deserve all this lost talent...
I don't know about you/your country, but here is Sad too see it...)
Master IKR I have a music talent and I am making songs but it’s hard to get people to hear myMusic
@@ZAR911 I know How It is man...
I don't know If I am a talent or not, but when I got guitar from zero and I started working hard in a whole year my technic got to "Megadeth stuffs" and "Dream Theater stuffs"... But you know How It is, nobody gives a shit for good music... They Just want to hear that simple and addictive pop progression that your learn in your first class...
PS: sry for the English If I said sonething wrong..
*I think Debussy strongly believed that evolution would bring us more fingers*
@@Mike-uz9hs oh god I know
let me introduce you to moonlight sonota 3rd movement
@@mcgimertv312 true but that's playable
I will have to use hands and feet to play it 😂
You do know that there are enough people on Earth with 12 fully functional fingers to make it a default trait in humans through selective breeding? Well, now you know! :)
This song makes me emotional every time I hear it. One of my most favorite songs.
My mother used to play this song when I was a kid...
No sad history, she stills alive.
nice
Thank god
So, why she stop playing it?
@@al3xxii5 probably got borning i guess or she forgot it
You know, maybe you should learn it and play it to her she'll prolly like that.
Me: gets a piano
RUclips recommendations: getting a piano I see? Here is something you won’t be able to play
Hahaha
Don't worry, im 11 and i learned this in the spand of a week or so, you just gotta practice, its easier than you think.
@@jack-deverin-art true, i have been playing for like 8 months
Lol
I’m 17, I just learned this last week 😛. Can’t play it as good as Rousseau though, I tend to mess up the arpeggios
This song has a vibe that I can't describe. It's like: "I'm feeling bad today, gonna recall memories about good old times!.. Yeah... Good old times..."
It's more of a peaceful choas with a hint of life flashbacks to me
“Today wasn’t a good day, but that’s ok. There’s always tomorrow.”
sort of a bittersweet, melancholic nostalgia
@@bloomishere3095 "... Yesterday was nicer."
For me it’s a mysterious vibe from the arpeggio on the left hand in the main part of the piece
I am taking piano lessons, and I am not good at playing with two hands. But I would sure love to play this song. Not only because I wanna show off to my friends, “hey look! I can play the song from dandys world!” But also, because this is an amazing piece. And I would just love to play this, and be so proud of myself for playing this, and for overcoming all of the things/obstacles in life. This is just a nostalgic song no matter what.
Ok, I hate to be like this in a classical song, and to all the people who love and appreciate this song. *But dandy is coming for me* .
(If ykyk)
Interesting color choice for such a calming song. Nicely played.
Red is the color of love
Should've been pale white, representing the colour of the moonlight. Nice effect though
Tân Nguyễn Yes! Lol.
In hindsight it definitely should've been white!
Profile Name red is an agressive color actually
my auntie was a concert pianist. I remember she loved playing this song specifically because of the indescribable emotions it gives someone…
just yesterday she passed away and hearing this song brings a sort of peace yet emptiness to me. i loved her to bits. she was like my mom and god i wish i could hear her play this once more...
Im so sorry for your loss..
Good luck, and don't worry, I'm sure your aunts at peace. Whatever happens after death, she is surely in peace.
cap
@@reasondro shut up.
@@yvesntuality cap
This should play at the end of our lifes when the credits show up
Lmfao😂😂😂
Yo just imagining this over the sun expanding and slowly burning the earth and swallowing the inner planets would be so cool. Might need to make a video like that sometime if I learn animation or something like it.
Yeah I either thought this or the Great Fairy Fountain theme
@@cherbaix902 i have Universe Sandbox 2 with my new super computer i could do it

My husband can see music in colors, and I've always wished I could too. These videos give me a little taste of what his world must be like.
If this dosen't play in my funeral, well I'm not dying.
Yes my grandpa recently died due to COVID 19 and my grandmother asked for this at the wake
@@banansfordays2448 This song is my life in a nutshell.
@@Nottagilla good luck in the war
@@banansfordays2448 It's over, but it still haunts my dreams.
How was war?
My goal for this summer is to be able to play this song from beginning to end! Hopefully all those years of piano lessons won't go to waste. Wish me luck everyone!!
I have the same goal so I guess we’ll do it together :D
Same here :)
good luck! I'm currently learning it and it's already been 3 months and Ive learned halfway. takes a lot of dedication!
Currently learning it as well! And good luck to you!!
All the best, everyone here!
just in case nobody knows,”clair de lune“ means “moonlight”
Thanks FBI!❤
@@kai-bi2th glad i can help
This makes a bit more sense now
I always wanted the FBI to help me with the translation
Thank you, I had no idea :)
I just listened to this for the first time and I literally started crying almost uncontrollably. Such a beautiful piece of music!
