I would argue the passion is still there. Games like celeste, hollow knight, and many others have the same levels of passion and brilliance in their compositions.
And newer games like Sonic Frontiers (which I'm still not finished playing) and Elden Ring (which I just started playing despite owning it since I got my Xbox one X a several months ago).
I remember discovering this version during my 2nd year of university. In my 3rd year, I took an extra option of culture which allowed me to play the piano for free 2 times a week. I had no experience, no teacher, didn't know nothing about playing but I tought myself to read notes and I learned to play the song. Good memories.

@@mysticlance4566 Thank you very much! yesterday was my wedding, i entered with my mom and this audio, a few people caught the reference, it was very special and emotional to me! Thx Vandegrand for this!
When you've discovered Franks' amazing piano videos recently and then are working on playing this amazing song and find this beautiful performance of it only to find the legend in the comments from 6 years ago. Chefs kiss*
8 people were so touched by the beauty of the piece that the tears from their eyes blocked their vision and they gave a thumbs down instead of a thumbs up
Essa música é um relaxante, uma fonte de inspiração admiradora, uma das melhoras soundtrack que já ouvi entre todos os games. Nessa versão simplesmente mágica, chego cair em lágrimas, um dia vou me emocionar tocando essa perfeição.
this is funny because my older brother and i were play piano along with the soundtrack and it's just odd to see such an amazing video preformed two weeks ago, but about 20 years after the game was released too😂😂👌🏻👌🏻i've watched your vids before but always forgot to subscribe, nice arpeggios too, especially the one where you go really fast up that scale about half way through the song
Thank you. Please note that this was just a reupload and that I am now active on a new channel, so if you want to see my new videos go here: ruclips.net/channel/UClQbip2znhW4Jq_3BMRWW9A
I hear that if you want to increase your productivity, you're supposed to listen to video game music. Apparently the music is designed to move the player forward in their pursuit of finishing the level and therefore would motivate a person do do better work studying or whatever.

This is hands down the most beautiful song ever composed about monkeys riding on a fish.
Arcticbanana oh my god I’m dying 😂😂😂
Arcticbanana what an excellent statement you have made. 👍
what a great way of thinking 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏿👍🏿
LOL
Well if you put it that way then yes I guess.
The amount of passion that went into video game music back in the day was something else.
I would argue the passion is still there. Games like celeste, hollow knight, and many others have the same levels of passion and brilliance in their compositions.
@@connor.d.l Wether new or old its pretty amazing what beautifull & stunning pieces of audio art has come from gaming.
And newer games like Sonic Frontiers (which I'm still not finished playing) and Elden Ring (which I just started playing despite owning it since I got my Xbox one X a several months ago).

i mean, david wise did make the donkey kong country tropical freeze soundtrack as well and that might be even better than his old music
holy shit got the chills at 1:28
Man what so did I
FRISSON BABY!

Thank you for sharing that, stories like these mean a lot to me. Congrats on learning how to play the piano, and good luck for the future.

BRASILEIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
what a great pianist, perfect pedal.. nostalgic..
This is truly incredible... It feels like the song was made for piano!
My heart melts every time, what a wonderful cover, I'll never thank you enough for your music.
Most beautiful song I've ever heard on the piano. If I didn't already know this was from DKC, I'd say you were a master songwriter.
1:25
He pays the original homage this is amazing work
2019 listening this masterpiece and crying like a child
I'll raise you one. 2020 and crying like an adult child.
Listening this on 2021and crying like a human
This is takes me back for sure man.
2023 and crying like and old wise adventurer
Beautiful. Always love hearing DKC music on piano. Great playing!
This guy's rendition is fuckin' awesome.

What in the world…I was just thinking about you…
This is absolutely incredible. You made the piano sound even more beautiful than I thought it could.
This video made me learn piano. Three years in now. Thank you.
Man, this rendition is still so beautiful after all these years!
So gorgeously played. One of the most nostalgic songs in a game ever
the left hand sends a really insane bass 🔥🔥🔥
The best piano cover of this song.
So relaxing
Very nice, V. Just revisited this today. The Marathon you did back then was epic and still is today.
mysterious and magical.
It's like a soft and warm rain going plop plap on your shoulders.
dang guy you're a freakn mythical beast on the piano.
Played to absolute perfection.
Isn't it amazing that you can take almost any song and make it a tear jerker on piano? God I wish I knew how to play one.
You deserve billions of views. Amazing play
Aaaaaand yet one more to add to the "to learn" list. That was perfect.
Beautiful, nostalgic, and hypnotizing
Video games were just made with heart when I was a kid. Now video games are just as corporate as oil. Great video by the way loved it.
my eyes are sweating

That was absolutely fucking amazing! Now if only we had a 1-10hr version we could set to play when we lie down for naps or go driving lol

Don't nap while driving though
Sounds heavenly !
I love what you've done with the enhanced audio. Lovely performance only made more lovely with this new render
Boi I hit that sub button so hard. This is possibly the best cover version and there are some great ones out there. Wowzers

I'm listening to this song while sleeping, and it's a very beautiful tone！
gotta pick up my piano again. This track must be extremely pleasing to play

I mean, how can you not, right..? :) classic, timeless, can't overlook a rendition of this piece!
Very bright and beautiful interpretation of a beautiful composition

Incase you're wondering 1:15 is the genius stroke of the composition
0:57 that part sent chills down my spine.
I need to learn that...this song puts me to sleep almost every single day (the original version). I really love this piano arrangement.

This song is perfect to be played on the piano
