Did you watch Journey to the West as a kid? I know this song is really nostalgic for many of you across the world. Let me know if this brings back any memories!
watched/listened/played too many times thru our childhood...... wukong is the part of every chinese's spirit abt freedom and fight. and this is why it is funny that westerns always say chinese has no democracy.....
@@MrZhendingnah the 1986 JTW was iconic because it was a Chinese government project, only the Chinese government can assemble the greatest Chinese artists to create a piece like this. BM Wukong was so great because the Chinese government is behind it. Do you seriously think a nobody known startup can create a master piece like this in its first attempt? Game Science had to get license from CCTV to include Celestial Symphony in the game. And of course the startup can secure the licensing rights..
Yes, this is very nostalgic for Chinese people and others from surrounding Asian countries. Maybe that is why there is such a concerted effort to try to hinder its success and popularity. Thank you @BeyondTheGuitar for this beautiful rendition of the theme song.
As a Chinese kid that grew up in the 90s and watched reruns of "Journey to the west" on TV over and over again, I never really paid much attention to the OST initially. The opening theme music did not even have a name/title when the show first aired in 1986. At some point, this track suddenly became popular on the Internet and started being referred to by the name of "云宫迅音“, which loosely translates to "hasty sound in the celestial palace" and I gotta say it kinda suits this soundtrack. Until Black Myth Wukong became a big hit around the world, the soundtrack was picked as the main theme, not surprisingly, reiterated by the very composer of the original 1986 soundtrack, and was given the official name of "Celestial Symphony". Huge fan of your cover!
So far, my tears have been unable to stop dropping whenever I hear this masterpiece. Your performance definitely reached the bottom of my heart. I appreciate your talent!
Okay, this is the one of the best examples for the existence of the internet....Something I grew up on is now spreading to people of all backgrounds. You also put yourself into this, which makes it so much better.
You might not know this, but this song is from the Chinese drama Wukong, which was filmed in 1987. Back then, entertainment options were very limited, and we would watch this drama over and over on black-and-white TV sets during the summer. For those born between the 1970s to early 1990s, it’s a cherished childhood memory. Do you have a similar popular drama where the theme song or melody brings back childhood memories?
西游记用Guitar弹出来，更像是“西班牙游记” （It sounds more like Journey to Spain. Spain in Chinese is called 西班牙， the same 西 as the first character in Journey to the WEST）
Using classic guitar sounds more touching and tragic compared to the original one, and this performance is more attached to the game Wukong, great modification!
Enjoying reading the comments. I don't know the show, but the music is amazing. Thanks, Nathan, for always giving us the best. How you are able to get so much emotion out of one instrument!
Its name is "云宫迅音" (also known as: "Journey to the West Overture"), which is the theme song of the 1986 TV series "Journey to the West". It was composed by composer Xu Jingqing. It's crazy, and so is yours !
