You can still suggest music for my 100th video until May 15th. I am looking for a calm, melancholic/nostalgic piece to play on the piano.
You guys already have suggested a lot of great music in the comments section of my last video and my recent community post. I plan to play a number of your suggestions in the near future, not just the actual No 100.
I will update you on this through a community post after the submission deadline.
The Bard's Tale III intro theme
PC
-------------------------------------------
Syberia - Valadilene Theme
AMIGA
--------------------------------------------
Midnight Ressistance - Flood of Power (the Amiga version is quite melancholic compared to other platforms)
X-Out (main, loader, level 1, level 2)
Rodland Ending Credits
Jim Power Level 3 (Mutant Forest)
Leander (Loading music and/or Level 1)
Deliverance
C64
----------------------------------------------------
Ramparts (main menu and/or ingame)
Tetris
Ocean Loader (take your pick, I prefer 5)
Perhaps you would enjoy challenging something from Sakuraba Motoi's soundtrack to the second "Zan" strategy game on the X68000 16-bit home computer. It's a game about wars in Japan in the 15th century but the guy they hired was really into neo-Baroque western prog rock so they just went with it and my God did it ever work out.

Jim Power Jungle level (3rd i believe )
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to suggest a song 🙏 I'm not really certain how well it fits, but I have always loved the main theme from Coloris (Amiga) by Tor Gausen.
If you had told me in 1990 when I first played Robocop for the Game Boy that I would be listening to someone play the title theme from it on piano in 2024 I would have said you were nuts
Especially because the world was supposed to descend into madness, hell, and anarchy in Y2K lmao, here we are 24 years from that, still alive!
For some of this, we listened to this in 1 bit chip in the ZX Spectrum in 1987 and were amazed to hear it rebooted for the Game Boy.
As a child playing Robocop I always felt the theme music was sad, beautiful and deep. Something very special about it.
It does feel deep, like Yuzo Koshiro's 'Chinatown' for The Revenge of Shinobe.
I've always considered this Murphy's Theme, as it's both hopeful yet wistfully sad.
You really did it justice.
The composer for the track didn't have to go so hard, but they did, and I'm grateful. You played it very well.
This is a masterpiece. On the more up-tempo end of the "better than it had any business being" spectrum is the NES title theme for Pictionary (Tim Follin in that case). Damn it's a banger.
"They'll fix me, they fix everything."

Old C64 child here - forgotten and worn out but this song still makes me smile. Your version is beautiful, thanks.
This tune totally blew me away when I first loaded the game on my C64 in the early 1990s. It was so good that I would load the game (around 5 minutes from tape!) just to listen to it, since I wasn't bothered actually playing.
Sounds a little like Anamanaguchi's Another Winter. Both it and the Robocop theme are tracks that have an air of melancholy, some brightness, and that hop some day those clouds part and the sun can shine again.
I thought I was the only one who thought that! Haha, definitely same vibes
My heart hurts listening to this in the best way.
I used to listen to the original while I was going through probably the hardest time in my life and hearing it rendered like this strikes me very much
Thank you
Oh my god, thank you for accepting my suggestion :)
I'm amazed how you managed to transpose the song to piano, still kept the heart of the melody and made an awesome rendition of it.
I always thought this was one of the most beautiful songs to appear in a game.
Thank you for this !
With pleasure, Rafael, I liked this music immediately!
Love it. This theme was also used in a different game, Space Station 13, to great effect.
There is literally everything on youtube. Amazing
The original composer this piece was sadly Dunn over.. and on.. and on.. and Ariston. This is so beautiful I want it played at my funeral - the essence of hope
It can only be played at the funerals of people who are recycled as robocops. So if you're into that... :)
Great rendition of one the best C64 themes
Hold up a flame for Jonathan Duuuuuunnn!
Great tune that was also used in Ariston's UK (possibly elsewhere?) TV advert & I 'm pretty sure Ocean reused it on a Gameboy game.
The Ocean-Version from Jonathan Dunn is the original. Ariston reused the Game-Boy version for their TV advert!
@Yorda68 plus Jonathan Dunn didn't get any credit for this :x
@@supmattboy I heard Jonathan Dunn couldn't do nothing about it because the music belonged to Ocean or something and they didn't care, and that he wanted to jump from his apartment window everytime he saw the advert on TV.
I really love how videogame music is now a respected media, but back then people were ok with stealing it without any regard to the people behind this work.... i.e. David Whittaker's "Stardust" from Lazy Jones.
Other way around.
Dunn created it for the computers for Ocean, the tune was ported to the Gameboy, and it was this version that Ariston used.
This theme always brings tears to my eyes, I dunno if its because brings memories from my childhood or because is just beautiful.
Waiting for a C64 cassette to load was always frustrating, but this piece of music made the wait to play Robocop actually quite special.
Grazie mille @GraziaPizzuto ❤
Fantastic cover
Thank you for letting me enjoy this beautiful music on Christmas Day, and giving me a trip back to my childhood. Love it.
And on
And on
And on
And on
And Ariston
very pleasant
Love this! Beautiful version. It's got a Twin Peaks vibe to it.
It's so cool that you are going through and doing these because I'm listening to much of the same canon you draw from lately, to the point where I recognized this song and got excited about you covering it even though I've never even emulated this game let alone owned a C64. It really is a great song, and I'm loving your interpretation, so thank you.
This is absolutely one of my favourites!
Broken heart, solid soul, so beautiful !!!
"Hey Jonathan, we need a track for this Robocop game on the Gameboy, doesn't have to be anything special, just some crunchy actiony whatever, you know the deal...
....holy shi-"
Beautiful rendition! Keep up the good work! 🎉
So many of us used to load these up on our Commodores (and other machines) back in the day not just to play, but to listen to the music. Load up to the titlescreen or in some cases stop the tape loading between levels (some level loading music faded out as the level finished loading). This on C64 (and Spectrum too!), was on another level, and your playing raises it even highter. Thanks so much!
Excellent cover! I love this theme, it's so emotional.
By the way, here is my suggestion for a nostalgic piano cover : "Asterix & Obelix (SNES) - London " by Alberto Jose Gonzalez.
Amazing! What incredible talent! :)
Does life ever reach anything more beautiful than this?
Such a great version of the Song! Well done
I haven’t cried in many years but you almost just made me!
Very unusual song theme that seldom appears online.
And when it does it's usually related to Space Station 13.
It's beautiful:) Who would have thought it was from RoboCop? That song would probably be better suited for Pride and Prejudice:)
Yeah, always found curious how Jonathan Dunn made such a beautiful, deep, emotional composition for a game about killing hundreds of people, heh.
He has some great , great works, but I think this is his masterpiece.
@@rafaellima83 Personally I think his Platoon theme and subtemes are his best works.
Someone once said it’s Murphy’s theme. 😢
Been like almost a decade since I've found this song and I'm still listening to it... Such a beautiful composition. Many a tear has been shed to this song. It's so much more then just video game music. This is on David Wise levels of composition.
Awestruck. You've played a childhood memory beautifully and made it so deep I cant classify. Thank you :) You truly are talented! Bellissimo!
Now this is a woman who knows that cool ranch came before ranch!
Play this at my funeral or don’t bother burying me at all.
💜
Just listening the third time in a row to this little masterpiece. 😊 This song was actually new for me and if I would have not read the title, then my last guess would have been RoboCop. Thanks so much for this beautiful piano cover version. 😊 I enjoyed it.
Maybe you should consider releasing an album on physical media, like CD with some nice artwork. I would definitely buy one.
Kind regards
Roy
Thank you so much for your kind words, Roy! Unfortunately realeasing an album is complicated...
That was offically outstanding work! ❤
Thank you so much!
"Dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed"
THAT'S where this is from! Holy shit, I was wondering where this reminded me from.
I'll always think about which flavor of Doritos came first. 😌
@@DrSeniorMilminamanRanch or Cool Ranch?
Bella!
No importa cuántas veces la escuche, la sigo amando. Jonathan Dunn un genio, y tu Grazia una virtuosa por tan hermosa versión. GRACIAS.
I have to sub to you, so talented and playing my favourite game tracks.
This should have been Robocop Rouge City end credits music.
Absolutely amazing! That was a pleasure to listen to! ❤
Beautifully done, Grazia. Bravo!
Awesome work!! Great interpretation! Beautiful piano work!
Grazie mille Grazia.. per questa splendida interpretazione.
Wow. Best rendition I've ever heard, bravo!
Best version of this song
Wonderful rendition!
this is exactly what I was looking for, it sounds amazing :)
Superb :)
Another excellent song as well as another magnificent interpretation, I liked it a lot, congratulations and thanks for sharing your music and talent. Greetings from Madrid and see you soon Grazia, like 82
Remember this from the C64 in the 80s. Seems like only yesterday. Listening to it again now, I hear a strong undertone of "Without You" by Harry Nilsson in it - I wonder if this influenced JD in writing this?
❤ nostalgia me invade😢
thank you, you made my day very happy
Incredible work.
Wundervoll. Danke!
amazing, all on point 99,9% dont stop
Great choice and a great take on a personal favourite 🙂
Another great cover thanks a lot 😊
amazing as always.
top Grazia!
Grazie, Girolamo!
Dieser Kanal verdient einfach so viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit! ❤👾👾👾
Ich persönlich würde mich sehr freuen irgendwann mal eine Grazia Pizzuto Version zu hören von Tracks aus Spielen wie "The 7th Saga, Lufia oder Lufia2" aber dies ist keine Aufforderung viel mehr ein stilles Gebet oder heimlicher Wunsch ;)
Bliss
Very beautiful. Grazie!!
bellissima, la più bella di Jonathan Dnnn, e la suoni benissimo !
Grazie mille!
Bravissima
Grazie
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I've always loved you
are you going to reply this under every Robocop rendition? And who are you loving? the creator? Jonathan Dunn? ME? I NEED LOVE TOO!
I love you 😘
@@neliz2k quote from cboyardee's Dilbert 3 video which uses this song
just amazing ;)
Nice
Love this!
Невероятно круто!!!
This is so so very good - one of my favourite C64 tunes. Would love to hear you play the C64 Zamzara theme tune (Charles Deenan from Maniacs of Noise).
I wonder what Jonathan Dunn's inspiration was for this tune. Very unusual for an action game.
A break up...
You absolutely nailed it! :)
If you're taking requests, can I suggest Jonathan Dunn's Robocop 2 title music on the C64?
In space, nobody can hear you honk.
This is actually such an advanced piece of music, technically, but it's so deceptively simple and childlike when in Game Boy form. The Spectrum version is, conversely, quite moody.
This could easily be put to a full orchestra. The timings and time signatures change quite whimsically.
If you're looking for ideas, I would love to hear your arrangement of Chinatown by Yuzo Koshiro. The original track is 2 minutes 30 seconds, but there is a 7 minute "Expanded & Enhanced" version by MaestroDraven yt channel and a 4 minute version.
I would recommend listening to the Mega Drive version.
Thanks, so you mean this version: ruclips.net/video/KFJv6fEFZDQ/видео.htmlsi=8sNMKLRzPfH7EcFn
@@GraziaPizzuto yes that's it. That is a cover. The original is probably a more coherent piece, with Koshiro using the sound chip very deftly with carefully mixed channels and use of the fm synthesizer chip.
@@GraziaPizzuto this is the original chip 4 minutes version. ruclips.net/video/P5OCfGgEtqk/видео.html
It's a much brighter and clearer sound.
I put no thought into how this could be turned into a solo piano piece but if you think it could be done, I feel the composition is quite emotional!
Yes that is the track. Sorry I should have left a link.
Here is the 4 minute version on the original chip hardware. ruclips.net/video/P5OCfGgEtqk/видео.html
It's clearer and brighter as composer, Koshiro had good knowledge of the fm hardware.
I couldn't say how it would be best to set the music to a solo piano but if you think it could be done...
It's a highly emotional piece I think. I reminds me of longing for home and close family.
The bassline is syncopated with the melody so this would be like playing Bach or something.
I might be tempted to use big chords in place of the lead melody with sustain pedal and hammer out the bassline with one finger.
It's like alot of these melodies are arpeggios programmed in not suited for playing by hand.
Bravissima ❤
Grazie
I would love to hear piano versions of The Untouchables game music.
Ranch, or Cool Ranch
Ranc?
Agony from Amiga Game
Remember kids, cool ranch came first. And the jani is probably a nukie.

Marry me
And on...
Amazing cover
