0:54 harmony here is so freaking awesome and sweet…

[@m0stlyGh0sty]

This is a beautiful cover of one of the best movie themes ever made, I can't believe this doesn't have more views.

[@DVeritas]

When this theme pops up while I’m on my motorcycle it feels amazing, truly feel the intensity and just happy to be alive, driving in a way my own Toothless.
Do or die, as simple as that.

[@user-fu7wc3xo6c]

THE MEMORIES😭😭😭

[@user-kt4dm9uu2y]

А ведь это какой труд. Сыграть всё по-разному, снять на видео, смонтировать. А если где-то не получалось, приходилось переигрывать. Атмосферно. Это мой любимый мультик.
Где актив?

[@jamesdewmusic]

I had to arrange the music, record each part, edit it and film it - a lot of work! 😅

[@ultradimensions]

Взаимно братан

[@user-wq7nj9eg7i]

I love this music because it reminds me of that very moment in childhood when the sky seems closer than the ground. But in this version, I don't see the ground at all. It's wonderful.

[@thunderbird2412]

literally got chills listening to this. httyd music will always have a special place in my heart

[@SCPguy-06]

How does this only have 87 views?! That was an incredible performance of m favorite piece of music from one of my favorite movies ever, you’re super talented and deserve much more views than just 87

So effortless, classic and passionate at the same time, this is a freaking masterpiece. As someone learning the cello, I hope one day to accomplish that.

[@aleksdizhe]

[@SpideyWarsStudios]

My jaw was open literally the whole time i was watching this. PHENOMENAL job. This movie, trilogy, and franchise mean so so much to me, and this has always been my favorite song on the soundtrack. (tho the whole soundtrack is obviously nothing but bangers) you really captured the flair and feeling of the original track

[@zinann222]

I have recently decided to take up the cello. After watching your video, I am once again impressed by the possibilities of the cello! Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I also have a question, are there really only 3 parts played on the cello in the video? It sounds like there are a lot more cellos playing.
I'm using a translator so sorry if the English is weird.

[@jamesdewmusic]

I’m glad you’ve chosen to take up the cello, that’s great to hear!
You are correct, there are 9 parts that I’ve recorded for this, although I only show 3 in the video 😁

[@T_3_3_3_]

Good shirt

[@itiscujo]

I love this song, but I honestly thought that without the instrumentation of the entire orchestra, it would just be slightly anemic…
I’m sorry I doubted you 👏👏👏

[@soliannamengistu7414]

How many times ive listened to this? I lost count at 112 😂🎉

[@AtlasTheTitan117]

Please do forbidden friendship, HTTYD is one of my favorite series and is filled with amazing music. Loved this version just as much as the original, great job 👏 🎉

[@TheJP_way]

Please release sheet music, this is incredible!

[@jfifufhjfjfjdjdjdix5964]

Please can you give me the sheet music of the 3 parts ?🙏🙏🙏

[@CMDRFandragon]

A live action HTTYD? As gooda s that movie was, idk as we need a live action...

[@warthunderbestgame]

Hope it will be nice 🤞
