Watching america's got talent, i see very few pianists, and none of them even compare to you. If you entered you would be one of the best musicians on the show. Your music blows me away.
Prodigy, no time no see ( or write comments, whichever ) ! Every time you upload a video, my day is perfect. PERFECT I SAY. Thank you so much for sharing you talent with us after all this time. God Bless You !
I liked the left-hand-strong-chords at around 3:00. That's fairly unusual for you (in my opinion) since you generally do scales. I also really liked the throwback melody at 2:45. I didn't really see the title as fitting, though. It is more positive sentimental, like the reflections of an arduous quest - with 4:00 being the death of a comrade, vengeance, then the return home. All in all, another great song, Lionel. You've yet to disappoint.
I have noticed that fast dramatic piano play can really sound like an angry conversation between 2 people.. Love it.. I wish this was recorded with andifferent mic though!!!!!!! :D
@musicalbasics I don't know if you have any schooling in writing music but if I could give you a tip you should really read "Fundamentals of Musical Composition" by Arnold Schoenberg. Its a really good book on how to write proper music full of examples, nearly half the book are examples and analysis from Beethoven to Wagner, from Bach to Chopin. It really opened my eyes to the constructs and logic behind melodies and music in general and imo a must read for any serious aspiring composer
You can take what philateliceum said and become a better music writer, but please still sit down and pound the keyboard making it up as you go, because at least with me, even though it's rough around the edges, it is where you can really feel the emotion in the song, really pick up on your feelings. Theres a randomness to the song, as the mood changes many times in a single song it's like having a discussion after an hardship or great joy. That's why I fell in love with this channel. Because it
Perfect! Perfect piece Lionel.. I think this is my favorite. It gives me that sort of feeling of a journey of self reflection, hope and hard earned prosperity. It's been a while since I could listen to your music, and I come back to this wonderful masterpiece, it's just like a fresh breath of life. Keep up the amazing work, God bless you bro!
@musicalbasics Cool that you find my advice good, I always feel a little bit hesitant about writing such comments because its so easy to get the tone wrong of a comment and come over as a know-it-all douche. You have amazing talent for the piano and to me it sounds as if you can play the music you hear in your head and that you are not really limited by technique and motor skills. That is an amazing talent to be exploited for writing music and you should.
@KissMeLOLxxx you're welcome! I would be helpless without this, there is so many great artists on youtube who aren't signed, but I wouldn't wanna miss listening to their music :) Aw thanks :DD
Wrote this comment when I was 12! 11 years later, and have a kid now. Still listen all the time! Can’t wait to share this with her once she’s a bit older.
I would love to see a written out song by you with less improvisation. I really like your style but sometimes I don't understand the improvs, it doesn't sound entirely logical in the greater context of the song. Its the balance between intellect and emotion. You got the emotion part down 100% but I would like more intellectual stimulation in your songs cause I believe it will take your songs to a whole new level.
OMG! I have such a hard time determining which piece is my favorite! They're all beyond any word in the english language... BTW, where's the sheet music for this one? I can't seem to find it on your website. Would love to play it!
I really hope that you're continuing to upload music! This is beautiful, would you mind if I used this in a level I'm making for Alien Swarm? I would give you full credit of course
What is with these adds... Ruining my damn playlist. Your opening the box of destruction on youtube. If I wanted adds interrupting epic music I would go to Pandora. Pun intended. Could you maybe twink things a little?
Finally someone that realizes sad doesn't have to be slow.
Watching america's got talent, i see very few pianists, and none of them even compare to you. If you entered you would be one of the best musicians on the show. Your music blows me away.
I keep coming back. Thank you for this masterpiece.
I could watch your hands flying over the piano and listen to this beautiful piece of music all day. Thanks for sharing this.
Damn, coming back to this song after a couple of years...Still the greatest piece you've ever done, guys
I was testing out the ads, but it seems like it's not very good for the playlists. I have removed most of them :)

"If only that what you feel is anger, then letting it go will open you up to everything else."
Where is this quote from?
-eyes shimmer- All of the songs you make and upload on here, they're pure muscal peices of art. I wish I could play at least half as good as you!

One of his underrated song’s
Absolutely Amazing, no words can describe it ...
Never let this go.
You never cease to amaze sir. You made my day.
@legendariosoul hey legend, great to see you again :) thanks for stopping by!
@TheVerandure You're right. Reflections is the correct way of characterizing this piece. Thanks!
@BabboGuitarist10 thanks bud! nice to see you come by again. hope all is well :)
I have noticed that fast dramatic piano play can really sound like an angry conversation between 2 people.. Love it..
I wish this was recorded with andifferent mic though!!!!!!! :D
He's currently getting some of his old work remade with better quality equipment :D
Love this piece more and more. New feeling is generated after listen to this song again.
liked before I pushed play because I knew it would be amazing, I wasn't disappointed
Thank you musicalbasics. Keep the epic songs coming. I'm a big fan of your epicness.

Catharsis fits very well. >.

When a drum play in my head with your piano it’s a good sign

im currently making a playlist for piano music and most of it is from your channel. i hope you don't mind.
Awesome =)
If you could play and broadcast to the world thier would be no need for war.
Most beautiful music i have ever heard.

@TheVerandure i agree with you completely lol

Will we get a synthesia tutorial for this too?
Dis vid should end at 3:55 . Anywaus nice song. U got like +subscribe from me

*keep the change*
*THIS LIKE A 40$ TIP!*
*I KNOW*
Is there sheet music to this?
I really hope that you're continuing to upload music! This is beautiful, would you mind if I used this in a level I'm making for Alien Swarm? I would give you full credit of course
This is improv right? I could see the hesitation at the beginning.
And what do you use to record?
How do you record without it picking up on the keys clacking with your keyboard?
The type of piano he plays has sides on which you can place items on.
it's not available for sale, sorry, but PM me and i may be able to help you out.
musicalbasics can you publish the sheets?
baekhyun lol it would be great even tho this has to be so hard to learn xD I feel like it would rather been easier to try to improvise
The opening is very similar than a Chinese piano music, what a coincidence 🧐

4th :D
