I found this cover when I was 15 and I can recall every single instance I put this on in the background as I made vision boards each year since then. I’m turning 24 this year and I come back to this piece yearly as a way to check in and say hello to my past selves- the ones that were heartbroken, angsty, excited, hopeful, and determined- all of them live here with this piece. I remember being so moved by this at 15 and still, to this day, it will never fail to make me teary-eyed. There is so much love and hope that I feel each time I listen to this that is unmatched by almost every other song. The joyful determination in the beginning, the nearly heart-wrenching way that the slower, quieter parts when you play up the octave tug at the heart, the trepidation in the build up, and the euphoria of the payoff in the end will never fail to move me. So much has changed in my life, as I’m sure yours has, and it has not been change that has happened without grief. So much has changed but, my god, I am so grateful to have always had this piece to come back to again and again. I have envisioned lifetimes in this piece, have grieved and loved to this piece, have shown loved ones new, old, and ones that are no longer in my life this piece and I have described time and again how important this song is to me in an unfathomably foundational way. This year, I’m practicing to tell people the kind things I keep to myself out of fear that I’ll come across as too much. I figured leaving a comment to thank you for the work you’ve done, one that has given me so much love and joy and hope and comfort throughout the years, is as good of a place to start. So, thank you for your work and the love you so clearly poured into it. I will be listening to this, truly, forever.
If you ever read this comment, I hope you know how much joy and love and support you've given me over many difficult times in my life with this. Very beautifully presented very much enjoyed and thank you.

hey, man. I've read some of the comments so I understand that you apparently got invested in life, making time for other things than music. I'm really really glad for you and I hope everything goes well for you. On the other hand, I also want to thank you for this amazing piece of work right here. Astral Observatory has always had this strange nostalgic feeling for me. When I was a kid, I could spend hours just standing in the observatory in MM, just to take in this amazing melody. The thing is, you took it and transformed it from a mere synthetic sound loop to an actual amazing piece for piano. Right now, this has to be my favorite zelda rendition of all time. I stumbled onto this video recently when I was in need of healing and closure and your music really helped me. Man, just know that you're really talented; your work has the power to do all sort of things to people. Thanks again. (Also I hate you for not having released more Zelda reworks.
Lol you can't do that a day only has 24 hours so if there was a 24 hour version you would need to listen to it for 48 hours and then that would be 2 days and not 1 so it's impossible for you to listen to it in 1 day 😂
It's been 9 years since the release of this masterpiece. Thanks Mark of Two, this was the music piece i performed for my audition into music school in 2016 and i still love it as the same day i found it and listened to it for the first time. It was also the song i played the most when i was going through a rough spot in life. I hope you're doing ok, mysterious man that dropped a banger then disappeared leaving us wanting for more.
From so much listening to this song my wife and my daughter now love it, they have no idea what the music is about or where it comes from, I just told them it's a video game music that I loved playing as a child, my wife she liked it so much that she said she wants me to dance the song with my daughter's on her 15th birthday party, she is currently 10, I love this music and how it connected my childhood game with my family, thanks for this.
I have the same experience with my children. I'm 33 with an 18 year old and 8 year old. Both love when I play instrumentals from my childhood games. It's crazy how my wife, daughter, son and I are each considered to be in different generations based on our birth years, yet all 4 generations love the same music

Christian Asencio you have a beautiful family and your initial comment brought a tear to my eye. I’m sure you and your daughter will have the time of your lives on that dance floor ❤️ I really wish I could have made more memories similar to that before losing my mother back in March. This song makes me think of her smiling face once more...
This is from the video game, The Legend of Zelda. There are different versions of the game but this particular song can be heard in Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask and (I think) Twilight Princess. These games are very near and dear to many people, myself included. I highly suggest to check it out
Jibb's Compilations it's definitely a bit more somber to idle your time in a quiet place while Termina is doomed. But wouldn't you rather spend your time doing something you love, anyways?
This song is so Undescribable, uplifting, it makes you feel frustrated that you can't describe this feeling but then you remember the beautiful song playing that whistles through your ears like a soft breeze in a night with the stars filling the sky and you look up but you remember you're in your room ready to go to bed but you can't and you want to listen to the song over and over but you have work/school in the morning and you want to savor the feel of the song so you listen to it one last time, and the feeling will help you stay at peace while you drift off to sleep. Goodnight :)
Frostbite Dog it's beautiful but it has a air of bittersweetness. Happy and sad at the same time. Makes me wonder about the old man in the observatory. I have a feeling the old man has a tragic backstory that this song reflects

I remember finding this song a while back and being blown away by the emotional impact it had on me. I grew up a huge fan of Legend of Zelda and this composition is so enchanting ♡ I'm not in the best position in life at the moment, I dont think anyone really is given our current events. But this lovely number popped up in my suggestions- it gives me hope. If somebody as sullen as myself can find hope, so can you. So to whomever reads this dinky ass comment, have hope ♡
I was filled with nostalgia the first time I listened to this, and each time I come back to it, the feeling is stronger. It made me realize that this song has been a part of different phases in my life, both good and bad. I look back to the person I used to be then with joy because of how much I've grown, but it also makes me sad remembering the people and places that have become nothing but a memory for me. It is scary to imagine how my future will look, who will stay, who won't, where I'll be, but I'm still hopeful about it. I hope to be in a better place next time I revisit this song so I can look at my present self with pride because of how far I got. I know it will be bittersweet as always though. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece, which many of us hold close to our hearts. ❤
I've listened to this song on-and-off for the past two or so years. Whenever I'm really having a hard time, it manages to come up - either in a playlist, or recommended somehow. And it always arrives just when I need it. Thank you for making this - it is rare that I can feel someone playing (truly playing) so viscerally like in this.
I was JUST about to complain why you stopped making such amazing music but then I saw this. Unbelievable. I would pay you for this, I'm so stunned and so close to tears every single time I listen to your songs. I love Zelda to pieces and so I love every single song by you to pieces. I swear, please keep up this amazing work, I'm your biggest fan!
WOW. It's been a long time since I've felt such raw child-like emotion during a song. You really captured the pure awe, wonder and magic that filled my heart whenever I entered that observatory. Thank you for making me feel like a child again!
Is incredible how the music (and The Legend of Zelda) conect the world and every people. I'm from Colombia and I readed the comment to the frenchman, and It's extremely heart wrenching. Congratulations, and thank you so much for that. (I'm sorrry, but my english is terrible too hahaha)
This was the first piece of music I listened to after my little brother passed away. Him and I played LoZ together as we grew up together and I just knew that i just had to listen to something that meant a lot to him and captured his energy. Mark of Two has an amazing and recognizable cover 🧡🧡
This song was recommended to me 7 years ago soon after starting uni, it is amazing. I have always come back throughout the years to listen to this piece because of the range of emotions it lets me feel. Whatever feeling I would like to take from this song, I am able to: nostalgia, melancholy, sadness, hope, happiness, love... I have now been working 2 years, uni seems like forever ago and the time that passes between "listens" to this song start getting longer and longer... Life goes by faster, becomes more complicated and I use my youtube favourites less and less. I find myself with less moments where I stumble upon this song, remember the absolute masterpiece it is, and take 6 minutes to enjoy all the emotions this song brings me. But the longer and longer time I take between listens, the more emotions I feel when I do find it again, and the more I am able to take out from listening to this song. I am certain I will keep coming back throughout the years, maybe more, maybe less. I know that this song will continue to emphasise some of my happy moments, will continue to help me through some of my rough times, or sometimes simply make me wonder wtf is life, while it entertains me for 6 minutes on a quiet rainy night like today. I hope things are going great for you Mark, and if they aren't, I hope you can at least sit with the rest of us for 6 minutes to take a moment to enjoy the beautiful peace you have created. Much love brother
God bless Mark of Two been a fan for 9 years and I can't even describe the hardships this music has gotten me through. Hope this guy is doing ok and knows about the joy he's spread to so many people.
I'm glad my music has been helpful to you. It's always a pleasure to hear how much meaning people find in my music. I'm doing well thankfully, but music has taken a back seat in my life, so I have not been writing music these past few years. Maybe one day I'll get back to it, but I don't know when that will happen.
This piece… it is what made me learn piano. It is the most emotionally and melodically charged thing I have ever heard. With layers of sound, discord and harmony, ups and downs, it makes me feel wonderfully small and vulnerable in the greatest way. I would like to commend you for your compositional skills, my friend. I shall be listening to your work for a long time.
i just recently started to listen to this.. Havent played Majoras mask but this is the most beautiful thing.. makes me happy and puts a smile on my face. Thank You!!
Mark of Two - you are something very very special. The talent you have is extremely unique, and not everyone has the capability or potential to arrange the way that you do. I see you're on indefinite hiatus, and it breaks my heart. My only hope is that you are happy and very well. Thank you so much for this arrangement. The astral observatory is such a unique piece and your arrangement straddles the line between majesty and impending doom so poignantly you can feel it in your breath. A personal favorite LoZ theme of mine that often gets overlooked is blessed to be revisited by you with such love and care. Thank you again Mark of Two ❤
I cry at 4:50 and on, almost every time. Feels like the notes are smacking me right in the face. Can't even remember how many times I've listened. Thanks for existing Mark of Two ❤
gosh I've have been listening this song for a least three years and I keep loving it, the best vertion have ever listened, never lost the main astral observatory theme even with all arrangements and that's why I love so much this beautiful song ty guys
This is my favorite cover of any piece of media ever. It takes the source material and elevates it into being a genuine masterpiece. I don't think any other piano piece has made me feel as many emotions as this has
I'd like to get back into it, but unfortunately music has taken a back seat in my life these past few years. If I do manage to get back into it again, I'll make sure to use this channel again.
I hope you’re doing alright over the four years. I discovered your channel yesterday and I really love what you do to all of these Zelda songs. The odd yet relaxing feeling I get makes me so emotional and I don’t really know how to describe more. You sir, have won a new subscriber and I will be prepared to click your future video.
God there’s something so calming and nostalgic about this. It’s like looking back at a memory (it’s a little sad but makes you happy ya know). Truly just beautiful.
I have been listening for this for years. Putting this on helped me in more ways than you can imagine. This song means so much to me. I've cried to it. I've listened to it while happy. I've mediated to it. I've studied and created with it. I'm even playing it on my own piano keyboard. This song has become a major key in my life. I wish there was a better word or phrase that could give this song justice to the meanings it has brought me.
its strange to think that i've been listening to your compositions for years now O_o this one always stuck out to me mainly because its incredibly well made and beautiful to listen to...but also because this song, like a few others from majoras mask is very important to me; i had a tough time growing up and playing games was my best way of escaping my world, the astral observatory always seemed important to link for me, its the one place he can look up in without fear and thats what i needed too, this piece is filled with so much emotion and passion i cant help but close my eyes tear up when i hear it, but they are always tears of joy because i know when i open my eyes again i can look up again. So thank you, thank you so much for making something so beautiful; and for helping me through some really dark times
It's funny, I've known this song for years and almost every time life beats me to the dirt I grab a beer and listen to it under the night sky. Thank you for this song, if anything it has helped me a lot.
god i want to learn how to play this majestic song so badly, there is so much beauty in this song, i can always picture a beautiful story being told from the music❤❤❤
I've been trying to find a cure or remedy for my insomnia that I have every once in a while, and I think I've found it. The nostalgia kicked in hard. Thank you so much. I hope your current and future endeavors go just as marvelous as this piece. (PS this is the start of my sleep help Playlist now!)
Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time and I have very fond memories of the astral observatory. Your cover feels like a love letter, it's hard to describe what I'm feeling when listening to this. But I wanna say that I appreciate your cover very much and I'm thankful to have found such a gem!
I was originally going to comment this on my original comment, but decided to create a new one to hopefully let more people see. ... It's hard to believe that I first found this four years ago. So much has happened since then, and so much has changed, yet this song remains the same. It's a reflection of both how fast time moves, and how far I've come. For four years straight now, this song has nearly always been with me, through music changes and changes in life. I turn to this song when I need to calm down from a fight, want to go to sleep, or just need to cry. It’s almost become natural at this point for me to go onto my Spotify, find “Stargazing” and play the song through my headphones. I’ve listened to this version so much, in fact, that any other version of Astral Observatory sounds like it’s trying to mimic this. I don’t know why, but this is the “true version” of Astral Observatory for me. The best example is comparing it to Theophany’s version, and while it is ethereal and encompassing, doesn’t give me the same emotion as Mark of Two’s does. It's hard to describe the emotions this song is able to make me feel; emotions that have not changed since first listening to it 2017/2018. It almost always makes me cry; out of hope for the future, and out of sadness of the past. The way he plays this piece just… pierces right through my heart. I don’t think I can think of one instance where I didn’t even sniffle a little while listening to this (regardless of if I was sad or not). I've almost all but moved on from Zelda - appreciating it still but not as devoted as I once was - but its music, and especially this song, will always stick with me.
I doubt you’ll ever see this, Mark, but thank you. Thank you once again for giving me, and the rest of the community, this incredible song. You might have moved on from making music, but we have not moved on from your music. All the music you’ve made here was incredible, and if you ever choose to try again we will embrace you with wide open arms. I hope whatever has been going on in your life is going well, and that Covid had not impacted you hard. God bless, my friend.
I can't thank u enough for making this I listen to it every week because it is so beuatifully composed, I can't explain it well but it makes me cry and it makes me happy! I love your piano playing and compositions very much.
hope you are doing well Mark of Two. this cover is really beautiful it gets me emotional whenever i listen to it after its been a while. thank you for it.
This rendition of the song is really something beautiful. I applaud you for your skills at creating such a good interpretation and it honestly has such a distinctive feel to it that makes the original have so much more meaning to it. Really in love with this ❤
Does anyone know if this person is active anywhere else? This is probably my favorite piano compositions and can't stop listening to it. It gives me chills every time and I wanna hear more of their work.
Sorry, but unfortunately, music has taken a back seat in my life for the last few years. I'd like to get back to it one day, but I don't know if or when.
@@MarkOfTwo Hey. It's really cool of you to respond. So thanks for taking the time out of the day. And I understand. Hope everything's goin well on your end. But rest assured if you decide to continue making music, I'll be here to support ya.
Wow, I was listening to your tracks on repeat and suddenly I hear a new track that I don't recognize. XD Great upload, thanks. I also love the art. very well drawn :P
in case there's not enough comments on this video already: This song is like a drug. I more that often refer to it as "the most beautiful song I've ever heard" and I stand by that.I try not to overplay it so as to conserve that feeling but honestly it's so hard because literally no other piece of music has ever had an effect like this on me before. It's so emotional, so raw, it's like a whole person's life is unfolding every time I hear it. Thank you for this seriously.
I love this song so much; it's my favorite song of all time, and that's saying a ton because I love music. It's positively beautiful, full of child-like innocence, hope, and wonder. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Literally have the sheet music of this cover in front of me right now and it's a struggle to even play remotely like Mark of Two does here. What a legend, I could never get tired of hearing this.
@@Krashiden Hey sorry for the late response. I'm still finishing it 😅, full time job keeps me busy but I've made really good progress on it and only have about two pages left of the sheet music to go. Coincidentally my favorite part of this song lol
I listend to this years ago before my audition in Dresden for the Palucca School and damn I get hella feelings listening to this again. This is made with so much love❤️everyone has to love this
Es tan nostálgica esta versión me causa sensaciones variadas, me causa paz, tristeza, amor, felicidad, puedo escucharla en situaciones distintas y puedo sentir diferentes cosas en cada ocasión de verdad agradezco mucho el que hizo esta versión porque me a ayudado en varios momentos de mi vida.
Music has unfortunately taken a back seat in my life these past few years. I'd like to get back into it some time, but I don't know when. If I do get back into it though, I'll make sure to use this channel again.
Moving out of college tomorrow, my buddy has an amazingly cool telescope we’d take into the mountain clearing and we’d navigate the stars. So glad I met a friend like him at such a strange time in our lives. You’re a pretty cool guy Jack.
This is exactly the only music I can listen to at any moment. I can certify you that this the best music I've ever heard without any exaggeration. Thank you for this masterpiece

This still makes me cry it’s so beautiful
That little nod to Chopin's nocturne ;) Nice touch
TheSecretProvider I thought I recognised that part!
TheSecretProvider Where is it in the piece ? I'm curious and fond of classical music, even tough I don't know a lot about it ^^
Emy M. The nocturne in D-Sharp-Major, if my tone-deaf ears aren't betraying me.
TheSecretProvider ahhh okay it is in there ahaha I thought I was making it up cX
Holy Moon Tears how am I JUST finding this.
Its beautiful
I was filled with nostalgia the first time I listened to this, and each time I come back to it, the feeling is stronger. It made me realize that this song has been a part of different phases in my life, both good and bad. I look back to the person I used to be then with joy because of how much I've grown, but it also makes me sad remembering the people and places that have become nothing but a memory for me.
It is scary to imagine how my future will look, who will stay, who won't, where I'll be, but I'm still hopeful about it. I hope to be in a better place next time I revisit this song so I can look at my present self with pride because of how far I got. I know it will be bittersweet as always though.
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece, which many of us hold close to our hearts. ❤
I can't put a number on the amount of times I've listened to this. You can really feel the love and effort put into this piece.
I've come here to listen to this literally dozens (hundreds?) of times over the years. It's so perfect, thank you.
You made me cry :'((((
***** holi
ok
Idem
You're not the only one 😭
Mee too, it makes me remember all those mlments with my console, happy.
I've listened to this song on-and-off for the past two or so years. Whenever I'm really having a hard time, it manages to come up - either in a playlist, or recommended somehow. And it always arrives just when I need it. Thank you for making this - it is rare that I can feel someone playing (truly playing) so viscerally like in this.
The best piano composition I’ve ever heard. Hands down.
I was JUST about to complain why you stopped making such amazing music but then I saw this.
Unbelievable. I would pay you for this, I'm so stunned and so close to tears every single time I listen to your songs. I love Zelda to pieces and so I love every single song by you to pieces. I swear, please keep up this amazing work, I'm your biggest fan!
This brings back memories. About 7 or 6 years ago, I was listening to this same cover. It felt so magic and relaxing. I love this song.
WOW. It's been a long time since I've felt such raw child-like emotion during a song. You really captured the pure awe, wonder and magic that filled my heart whenever I entered that observatory. Thank you for making me feel like a child again!
I just discovered this cover. It's so beautiful!!
Is incredible how the music (and The Legend of Zelda) conect the world and every people. I'm from Colombia and I readed the comment to the frenchman, and It's extremely heart wrenching. Congratulations, and thank you so much for that. (I'm sorrry, but my english is terrible too hahaha)
Your english is not so bad ~ Another frenchman
Hello, Im from the united kingdom. Good to know there are zelda fans all around the world
Hi from France ! Looks like everybody around the world loves the legend of zelda... so touching
Spaniard right here. It's wonderful indeed. :)

This was the first piece of music I listened to after my little brother passed away. Him and I played LoZ together as we grew up together and I just knew that i just had to listen to something that meant a lot to him and captured his energy. Mark of Two has an amazing and recognizable cover 🧡🧡
Many years later and this song is still as beautiful as the day it was made.
This song was recommended to me 7 years ago soon after starting uni, it is amazing. I have always come back throughout the years to listen to this piece because of the range of emotions it lets me feel. Whatever feeling I would like to take from this song, I am able to: nostalgia, melancholy, sadness, hope, happiness, love...
I have now been working 2 years, uni seems like forever ago and the time that passes between "listens" to this song start getting longer and longer... Life goes by faster, becomes more complicated and I use my youtube favourites less and less. I find myself with less moments where I stumble upon this song, remember the absolute masterpiece it is, and take 6 minutes to enjoy all the emotions this song brings me.
But the longer and longer time I take between listens, the more emotions I feel when I do find it again, and the more I am able to take out from listening to this song. I am certain I will keep coming back throughout the years, maybe more, maybe less. I know that this song will continue to emphasise some of my happy moments, will continue to help me through some of my rough times, or sometimes simply make me wonder wtf is life, while it entertains me for 6 minutes on a quiet rainy night like today.
I hope things are going great for you Mark, and if they aren't, I hope you can at least sit with the rest of us for 6 minutes to take a moment to enjoy the beautiful peace you have created.
Much love brother
God bless Mark of Two been a fan for 9 years and I can't even describe the hardships this music has gotten me through. Hope this guy is doing ok and knows about the joy he's spread to so many people.
I'm glad my music has been helpful to you. It's always a pleasure to hear how much meaning people find in my music. I'm doing well thankfully, but music has taken a back seat in my life, so I have not been writing music these past few years. Maybe one day I'll get back to it, but I don't know when that will happen.
@@MarkOfTwo We will be here if you ever get back into it ❤️❤️❤️
@@cheezeman727 I'll be sure to use this channel if I do. :)
This always calms me when I have trouble sleeping....
Thank you so much for making this 💗
This piece… it is what made me learn piano. It is the most emotionally and melodically charged thing I have ever heard. With layers of sound, discord and harmony, ups and downs, it makes me feel wonderfully small and vulnerable in the greatest way. I would like to commend you for your compositional skills, my friend. I shall be listening to your work for a long time.
i just recently started to listen to this.. Havent played Majoras mask but this is the most beautiful thing.. makes me happy and puts a smile on my face. Thank You!!
Mark of Two - you are something very very special. The talent you have is extremely unique, and not everyone has the capability or potential to arrange the way that you do. I see you're on indefinite hiatus, and it breaks my heart. My only hope is that you are happy and very well.
Thank you so much for this arrangement. The astral observatory is such a unique piece and your arrangement straddles the line between majesty and impending doom so poignantly you can feel it in your breath. A personal favorite LoZ theme of mine that often gets overlooked is blessed to be revisited by you with such love and care. Thank you again Mark of Two ❤
Found this through a Zelda music compilation and just had to look this up to drop a like. Absolutely stunning performance
Same! This song actually stood out so much when I was studying I couldn’t help but drop everything to get here
Same here, I was doing some online test and stopped everything when I realized I was crying a lot.
Same here!, I was studying numbers with a Zelda compilation and this just blew my unconscious. And I’m not into commenting
i genuinely think this is the best cover of this song out there, i'm constantly on the verge of tears listening to it and i can't really be sure why
I cry at 4:50 and on, almost every time. Feels like the notes are smacking me right in the face. Can't even remember how many times I've listened. Thanks for existing Mark of Two ❤
This is one of the reasons why I wanna learn to play the piano, I absolutely love this cover of this song, one of my favorites videos to listen to
gosh I've have been listening this song for a least three years and I keep loving it, the best vertion have ever listened, never lost the main astral observatory theme even with all arrangements and that's why I love so much this beautiful song ty guys
This is my favorite cover of any piece of media ever. It takes the source material and elevates it into being a genuine masterpiece. I don't think any other piano piece has made me feel as many emotions as this has
Beautiful. A classic for me and my family. This song has been great company to me in all sorts of times. Beautiful job, quite indescribable, amazing.
I listen to this every day...
This is probably the best song I’ve ever heard. Please continue making music. Please it makes a difference in the world one person at a time I promise
I'd like to get back into it, but unfortunately music has taken a back seat in my life these past few years. If I do manage to get back into it again, I'll make sure to use this channel again.
@@MarkOfTwo you have a beautiful gift, if you can make it happen that’s great. I understand life is hard to juggle sometimes. ☺️
I’ve been listening to this cover for years and it never fails to fill me with emotion. I cannot thank you enough for creating this piece.
I hope you’re doing alright over the four years. I discovered your channel yesterday and I really love what you do to all of these Zelda songs. The odd yet relaxing feeling I get makes me so emotional and I don’t really know how to describe more. You sir, have won a new subscriber and I will be prepared to click your future video.
God there’s something so calming and nostalgic about this. It’s like looking back at a memory (it’s a little sad but makes you happy ya know). Truly just beautiful.
There's no word to describe how much I love this masterpiece
I have been listening for this for years. Putting this on helped me in more ways than you can imagine. This song means so much to me. I've cried to it. I've listened to it while happy. I've mediated to it. I've studied and created with it. I'm even playing it on my own piano keyboard. This song has become a major key in my life. I wish there was a better word or phrase that could give this song justice to the meanings it has brought me.
It blows my mind that this was released three years ago. I hope you are doing alright man! I love your stuff!
This is one of my favorite songs. It’s so beautiful.
You have great taste
This is my favorite piano song of all time.
its strange to think that i've been listening to your compositions for years now O_o this one always stuck out to me mainly because its incredibly well made and beautiful to listen to...but also because this song, like a few others from majoras mask is very important to me; i had a tough time growing up and playing games was my best way of escaping my world, the astral observatory always seemed important to link for me, its the one place he can look up in without fear and thats what i needed too, this piece is filled with so much emotion and passion i cant help but close my eyes tear up when i hear it, but they are always tears of joy because i know when i open my eyes again i can look up again.
So thank you, thank you so much for making something so beautiful; and for helping me through some really dark times
this is undoubtedly the greatest piece of music i've ever heard
I listen to this when I drive around at night. Not much else to do in Montana. Thanks again🌿
Crikey, this is the best arrangement of this song I have ever heard. Well done.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Bravo.
It's funny, I've known this song for years and almost every time life beats me to the dirt I grab a beer and listen to it under the night sky.
Thank you for this song, if anything it has helped me a lot.
god i want to learn how to play this majestic song so badly, there is so much beauty in this song, i can always picture a beautiful story being told from the music❤❤❤
I've been trying to find a cure or remedy for my insomnia that I have every once in a while, and I think I've found it. The nostalgia kicked in hard. Thank you so much. I hope your current and future endeavors go just as marvelous as this piece.
(PS this is the start of my sleep help Playlist now!)
A tune that brings about a sense of tranquility that stills the mind & allows it to rest peacefully.
the best cover. i wish someday you can write beautiful music like this again.
The way this song switches from mellow and somber to uplifting and triumphant is absolutely magical. Im sure koji kondo would love this as well
Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time and I have very fond memories of the astral observatory. Your cover feels like a love letter, it's hard to describe what I'm feeling when listening to this. But I wanna say that I appreciate your cover very much and I'm thankful to have found such a gem!
One of the most beautiful covers of any VGM I have ever heard!
This is so amazing!!!
I was originally going to comment this on my original comment, but decided to create a new one to hopefully let more people see.
...
It's hard to believe that I first found this four years ago. So much has happened since then, and so much has changed, yet this song remains the same. It's a reflection of both how fast time moves, and how far I've come.
For four years straight now, this song has nearly always been with me, through music changes and changes in life. I turn to this song when I need to calm down from a fight, want to go to sleep, or just need to cry. It’s almost become natural at this point for me to go onto my Spotify, find “Stargazing” and play the song through my headphones. I’ve listened to this version so much, in fact, that any other version of Astral Observatory sounds like it’s trying to mimic this. I don’t know why, but this is the “true version” of Astral Observatory for me. The best example is comparing it to Theophany’s version, and while it is ethereal and encompassing, doesn’t give me the same emotion as Mark of Two’s does.
It's hard to describe the emotions this song is able to make me feel; emotions that have not changed since first listening to it 2017/2018. It almost always makes me cry; out of hope for the future, and out of sadness of the past. The way he plays this piece just… pierces right through my heart. I don’t think I can think of one instance where I didn’t even sniffle a little while listening to this (regardless of if I was sad or not). I've almost all but moved on from Zelda - appreciating it still but not as devoted as I once was - but its music, and especially this song, will always stick with me.
I doubt you’ll ever see this, Mark, but thank you. Thank you once again for giving me, and the rest of the community, this incredible song. You might have moved on from making music, but we have not moved on from your music. All the music you’ve made here was incredible, and if you ever choose to try again we will embrace you with wide open arms. I hope whatever has been going on in your life is going well, and that Covid had not impacted you hard. God bless, my friend.
This really should be on spotify
I can't thank u enough for making this I listen to it every week because it is so beuatifully composed, I can't explain it well but it makes me cry and it makes me happy! I love your piano playing and compositions very much.
This is my favorite song of all time
AGREED I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
I’m listening to it again it’s so good guys what the shit
I keep coming back to this one year after year. Such a great arrangement and performance
hope you are doing well Mark of Two. this cover is really beautiful it gets me emotional whenever i listen to it after its been a while. thank you for it.
My complements on your playing. This is truly beautiful. Majora's Mask music always gets me.
Love this!!
SamiaAntha Holy crap! I know you!
Your stuff is awesome! :D
I love your Wind Waker covers in particular (I'm a real sucker for Wind Waker music). xD
+SamiaAntha Yeah! your covers are beautiful too!! :3
This rendition of the song is really something beautiful. I applaud you for your skills at creating such a good interpretation and it honestly has such a distinctive feel to it that makes the original have so much more meaning to it. Really in love with this ❤
Does anyone know if this person is active anywhere else? This is probably my favorite piano compositions and can't stop listening to it. It gives me chills every time and I wanna hear more of their work.
Sorry, but unfortunately, music has taken a back seat in my life for the last few years. I'd like to get back to it one day, but I don't know if or when.
@@MarkOfTwo
Hey. It's really cool of you to respond. So thanks for taking the time out of the day.
And I understand. Hope everything's goin well on your end. But rest assured if you decide to continue making music, I'll be here to support ya.
You have a gift people really appreciate
This brings Tears to my eyes just like the moon
Wow, I was listening to your tracks on repeat and suddenly I hear a new track that I don't recognize. XD Great upload, thanks.
I also love the art. very well drawn :P
in case there's not enough comments on this video already: This song is like a drug. I more that often refer to it as "the most beautiful song I've ever heard" and I stand by that.I try not to overplay it so as to conserve that feeling but honestly it's so hard because literally no other piece of music has ever had an effect like this on me before. It's so emotional, so raw, it's like a whole person's life is unfolding every time I hear it. Thank you for this seriously.
I love this song a lot. The beginning, especially! It's just so gorgeous and calming! I hope to see more covers from you c:
It's so rare for me to cry over a song, but this is just, i don't know how to explain it, and i love it
Excellent choice of piece, and excellent piano cover. 10/10 would listen for 3 hours straight again
I love this song so much; it's my favorite song of all time, and that's saying a ton because I love music. It's positively beautiful, full of child-like innocence, hope, and wonder. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Saw you posted a video, i already knew it would be great. And it is. These piano covers are gold
Honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
Literally have the sheet music of this cover in front of me right now and it's a struggle to even play remotely like Mark of Two does here. What a legend, I could never get tired of hearing this.
Taken me 3 months just to get half the song down lol
@@Yokai_senpai How is it going? Did you manage to play the whole song?
@@Krashiden Hey sorry for the late response. I'm still finishing it 😅, full time job keeps me busy but I've made really good progress on it and only have about two pages left of the sheet music to go. Coincidentally my favorite part of this song lol
@@Yokai_senpai Full time job is tough, but I hope you be able to learn the whole song. Keep it going brother!
I listend to this years ago before my audition in Dresden for the Palucca School and damn I get hella feelings listening to this again. This is made with so much love❤️everyone has to love this
Es tan nostálgica esta versión me causa sensaciones variadas, me causa paz, tristeza, amor, felicidad, puedo escucharla en situaciones distintas y puedo sentir diferentes cosas en cada ocasión de verdad agradezco mucho el que hizo esta versión porque me a ayudado en varios momentos de mi vida.
can't count how many times i've listened to this, since 3 years ago and still today
Man. Whenever 0:45 comes on I get teary eyed. Please come back again.
Music has unfortunately taken a back seat in my life these past few years. I'd like to get back into it some time, but I don't know when. If I do get back into it though, I'll make sure to use this channel again.
@@MarkOfTwo alright that's great to hear. Have a great 2021
Moving out of college tomorrow, my buddy has an amazingly cool telescope we’d take into the mountain clearing and we’d navigate the stars. So glad I met a friend like him at such a strange time in our lives. You’re a pretty cool guy Jack.
Yes! I'm so glad you decided to post more stuff! (Amazing art, btw)
Man, you reach an emotional level so intense with your interpretation
i Feel Nostalgic, melancholyc, and giddy all at the same time.
I don't remember subscribing to you, but now I'm glad I did.
Best version ever.
Best piano zelda cover of all time?
This is exactly the only music I can listen to at any moment. I can certify you that this the best music I've ever heard without any exaggeration.
Thank you for this masterpiece
