And THANK YOU for putting it into the public domain! At least I hope it still is... Because, if you don't mind, I'm actually planning on using it in a video game that's going to be something of an engineering marvel of its own: I'm basically recreating a complete series of "pathworking" meditations based on the Tree of Life from the mystical Qabalah, and I thought this would be absolutely perfect as background music for the game's "astral temples" where each pathworking begins. Back in my 20's I began having spontaneous out-of-body experiences, non-stop synchronistic coincidences, and even played around with a few powerful psychedelics in an attempt to gain some kind of understanding of what in the hell we're all doing here in this mess of a world... Everything left me with more questions than answers, but I eventually noticed that many of my more intense experiences were accompanied by recurring themes and hallucinations that were explained in the western Qabalah as symbolic correspondences for specific spheres on the Tree of Life. Now, after more than a decade of research later, I have plenty of new answers but still more questions... And an unbending intent to make a game that will share my ideas in the form of an old-school JRPG. I can't help but think of how fitting this music's composition is: It's hauntingly nostalgic but I can't quite grasp what it reminds me of, and it schizophrenically wanders away from itself in certain places, almost abandoning all sense of symmetry and linearity, but then it somehow manages to pull itself back together seamlessly. I've attempted to add more orchestration to your playing with a bunch of symphonic virtual instruments that I have at my disposal, but I always end up giving up and coming back to the conclusion that it's already perfect the way you've made it -- the fact that it's just a solo piano almost reflects the loneliness that one tends to feel when devoting yourself to a private project that's so personal nobody else can fully understand it, and yet they can still sense some kind of power and beauty within it.

"I'm trying to figure out why I have a memory of loving you" incredibly sad to see how far his illness took him. I had no idea schizophrenia alone could do that.
Schizophrenia is so misunderstood. Unfortunately people assume they’re super dangerous when they’re more likely to be victims of abuse. It’s terrifying thinking of your reality being so completely different from everyone else’s - incredibly lonely, and I think that’s one reason he was so into programming, it was a common understanding with those of a different reality, like a wormhole to the real world for him to connect with us more so than to connect with a God.
@@madichelp0 while Terry was having a schizophrenic fit, verbally abusing his mom, he suddenly became lucid again and apologized to her. That's where the quote came from.
Tragic man. He was a crazy smart programmer whose mind took over. He lived the last of his days as a homeless wanderer. To him, however, he was as close to his God as he ever had been. Right now, he is one with his heavenly creator. May his legacy, good or bad, and TempleOS live on.
Terry was an amazing man and inspired me to take up programming as crazy as that sounds. He was definitely crazy but he had a rare spark of genius that would have catapulted someone who wasn't burdened by schizophrenia to crazy heights. The thinking man's Steve Jobs

This is legitimately one of my favorite pieces for piano. God save you guys may he always be with you. Rest in Peace Terry.
Schizophrenia made Terry fearless. It gave him both the freedom and the drive to pursue the things about computer programming that he loved and try to pass it on to other people rather than having the joy sucked out of his soul in some faceless cubicle farm. It caused him to load his unfiltered monologues and thoughts to youtube for us to watch and consider, first just as a form of amusement at the ramblings of someone who seemed to have lost his marbles but increasingly seriously as rays of thought-provoking logic and insight pierced through the incoherence. His was a finely tuned, sharp-edged mind struggling against against a disease that was destroying it. He was a deeply fascinating character and most of us developed more of a relationship with him ( although completely unidirectional ) than we do with each other.
It made him fearless? Yeah it's just great when you are freaking out about the authorities coming to get you, and eating complete trash almost which just digs your hole deeper...a little perspective maybe, IT MADE HIM MORE EXTREME, sometimes that included courage, yet just as often it included paranoia
@@dionbridger5944 I had missed the other half of your OP comment as the RUclips extra hid it...was reminded once you commented. I only responded to your above small discrepancy, everything else you put was spot on...also it's good to honor memory regardless...so your first half holds true under that concept!
I have sat here crying for at least 15 minutes. I'm so sorry you had to go Terry. While you suffered, many of us laughed. While you were tortured, many of us only added to the pain. I'm so sorry Terry. I feel so bad for you and I feel so sad for your loss. I'm sorry I just found out about you yesterday. I can relate to you in some ways. Being tortured by others, the loneliness at times... I'm really sorry Terry. May Terry and TempleOS live on.
Some people meme about it, but I genuinely find this song and especially your cover of it, haunting and beautiful. I listen to it almost every day. Thank you for making this.
A broken and flawed man, one who made something truly unique, a man who was suffering and yet still tried to build something good. His songs being played on a somber note on a piano is fitting beyond words. Rest in peace Terry
Just starting exploring TempleOS today. As a super nerd, I had heard of it in the past. But now with everyone celebrating his life, I have spent the last couple days learning about him, watching his archived videos, and finally trying the OS today. This an some other remembrances have brought tears to my eyes.
The thing that breaks my heart the most is that Terry isn’t here to see how many people really do appreciate everything he went through and see him for who he was trying to, he wasn’t even trying to be, he was following something he knew was so true to him and got lost because nobody knew how to help him. His experience is a great example of how being kind and honoring someone’s experience could mean the difference between going crazy or not. It’s my understanding he went crazy after pretty much being shunned, and, un-acknowledgement for things we care deeply about is probably one of the most hurtful things anyone could ever experience in their existence when all they are trying to do is show you “gods” favorite program. Rest in paradise Terry. “We love you” 🛸✌️💫🏝️
Let's start a petition to make a movie about his life, how would we go about doing that? Contacting some movie studio? This is the least we can do, my heart breaks every time I think about how his life ended. You got me into programming Terry, God bless you.
@@enceladus4900 Run my own digital agency now, got 2 startups going that I'm a Co-Founder behind and continuing to blow up my understanding of programming haha. Still nowhere **near** Terry, but getting there. Programming is like any skill. If you want to get better (and I mean seriously get better), wrap your life around programming. Everything that I do in my life right now is secondary to my programming, because I want to be so good at it that I can create whatever I want, not being limited by skillset. It's an absolute rush when you can think of something, and there is not a **doubt** in your mind that you can build it.
I listened to the original song and didn't think much of it. It sounded amateurish and fumbling. After listening to your astonishingly beautiful arrangement of it, I was once again reminded how many beautiful things we people manage to miss every day because we fail in either listening or communicating. Thank you for seeing the spark of something beautiful in Terry's work and translating it into something that the rest of us can more easily appreciate. RIP Terry.
Whenever I'm sad about thinking his death and how it was so tragic, I get reminded that he's most likely up there now with God. It's what he would've have wanted. and that gives me reassurance..
In spite of his declining mental health, he truly still has good on him. Man, the world is pretty much cruel and injustice. But he survives it all, his schizophrenia and dementia, not to mention he's living alone and homeless. He might be another man that passed on to your life, but he is a king for some. A King that needs nothing but.. redemption and acceptance. He is truly a good example of how that a person that has monster that are bigger inside him, but still has goodness in it. He fights until his last breath, and leave a mark for everyone to know his legacy.
I think this song is like life. It was born from chaos. But there’s an order behind it that gives it structure and makes it haunting and beautiful. It reminds me of a forest. It looks chaotic but pay attention and you can see the order behind it.
Now despite me knowing nothing of programming despite my best efforts I am left astounded by what Mr Terry had achieved. The one man project made from nothing to an entire operating system with its own 3d graphics and such. His schizophrenia may have contributed to this project starting in the first place. It terrifies me to the core. A testament to the possibly unlimited intellectual capacity of the human mind and the things that come from it's utilisation from hyperfocus and unbroken dedication. How someone can achieve so much by simply wanting to and not expecting any form of benefit. And finally when his time came, He was taken to God. RIP Terry Davis.
I know it wouldn't have been possible without Terry's influence and his original melody but what you have made here, the end result, is pretty incredible (esp with the reverb and when played on the piano). This deserves millions of views.
Terry could see them. They are real but the secular mind cannot comprehend and instead calls them "insane". Terry knew more than most people realize. I would have liked to talk to him about this reality and where he actually lived.
Damn, I still miss Terry. I know, it's weird. He was one of us. Only 5000 times more brilliant. I'd wish some talented documentary maker would make a film about him.
Unfortunately, I only heard about Terry Davis a few months before his death. But even in that time frame, I felt like he was a friend to me and everyone. Up till now I am Truly sad that he has gone, hopefully he rests peacefully with God. R.I.P Terry.
I cried my eyes out to this cover. Thank you, man. Terry was such a troubled yet brillant mind, it's so heart breaking that he was never recognized for his monumental achievement.
His song fits him the off notes indicate imperfections and the tone starts low then high and then somber like a calm gentle end. Like a blaze it slowly sprang and disappeared. Truly a magnificent magnum opus.
When you’ve unlocked more than 75% of your brain and being among peasants. Too far ahead of his time. Every couple of years I go down the rabbit hole, and watch him again. Learning new things about who he really was. RIP Terry.
Rest in peace Terry. Your videos and life carry on to the next generation of computer scientists. In a world of high tech post covid society, where general sentiment from the public is that technology is scary, due to government spying and kafkaesque beurocracy; you have reminded us forever that technology is just an output of random ticks and low level synapses. Just like us. It's nature, Terry's nature of mind is natural just like the computations of this interconnected world.
R.I.P. Terry, I didn't know about him until a week ago, and it's been a emotional journey, to everyone reading this, go through jesus and accept god in your heart and he will accept you in his, stay strong kings

This is legitimately one of my favorite pieces for piano. God save you guys may he always be with you. Rest in Peace Terry.
Schizophrenia made Terry fearless. It gave him both the freedom and the drive to pursue the things about computer programming that he loved and try to pass it on to other people rather than having the joy sucked out of his soul in some faceless cubicle farm. It caused him to load his unfiltered monologues and thoughts to youtube for us to watch and consider, first just as a form of amusement at the ramblings of someone who seemed to have lost his marbles but increasingly seriously as rays of thought-provoking logic and insight pierced through the incoherence. His was a finely tuned, sharp-edged mind struggling against against a disease that was destroying it. He was a deeply fascinating character and most of us developed more of a relationship with him ( although completely unidirectional ) than we do with each other.
Dion Bridger thank you for this comment
God wills it.
It made him fearless? Yeah it's just great when you are freaking out about the authorities coming to get you, and eating complete trash almost which just digs your hole deeper...a little perspective maybe, IT MADE HIM MORE EXTREME, sometimes that included courage, yet just as often it included paranoia
@@bluetrinityhaloseven7244
Important point.
@@dionbridger5944 I had missed the other half of your OP comment as the RUclips extra hid it...was reminded once you commented. I only responded to your above small discrepancy, everything else you put was spot on...also it's good to honor memory regardless...so your first half holds true under that concept!
I have sat here crying for at least 15 minutes. I'm so sorry you had to go Terry. While you suffered, many of us laughed. While you were tortured, many of us only added to the pain.
I'm so sorry Terry. I feel so bad for you and I feel so sad for your loss.
I'm sorry I just found out about you yesterday. I can relate to you in some ways. Being tortured by others, the loneliness at times... I'm really sorry Terry.
May Terry and TempleOS live on.
me too heard about him several days ago and still very sad about his death.
If this doesn’t play at my funeral then I’m not going.
If your following a trail your not a trailblazer - Terry A Davis
today is the anniversary of his death, rest in peace terry.
He probably had no funeral but if he did I believe this is the song that he would have wanted to be played.
Some people meme about it, but I genuinely find this song and especially your cover of it, haunting and beautiful. I listen to it almost every day. Thank you for making this.
A broken and flawed man, one who made something truly unique, a man who was suffering and yet still tried to build something good.
His songs being played on a somber note on a piano is fitting beyond words.
Rest in peace Terry
Just starting exploring TempleOS today. As a super nerd, I had heard of it in the past. But now with everyone celebrating his life, I have spent the last couple days learning about him, watching his archived videos, and finally trying the OS today. This an some other remembrances have brought tears to my eyes.
how was the experience?
The thing that breaks my heart the most is that Terry isn’t here to see how many people really do appreciate everything he went through and see him for who he was trying to, he wasn’t even trying to be, he was following something he knew was so true to him and got lost because nobody knew how to help him. His experience is a great example of how being kind and honoring someone’s experience could mean the difference between going crazy or not. It’s my understanding he went crazy after pretty much being shunned, and, un-acknowledgement for things we care deeply about is probably one of the most hurtful things anyone could ever experience in their existence when all they are trying to do is show you “gods” favorite program. Rest in paradise Terry. “We love you” 🛸✌️💫🏝️
You are correct, I couldn't have put it better myself. And how correct you are is incredibly sad.
Let's start a petition to make a movie about his life, how would we go about doing that? Contacting some movie studio?
This is the least we can do, my heart breaks every time I think about how his life ended.
You got me into programming Terry, God bless you.
This melody is divine. There is something incredibly real about it. Like the ones and zeroes of the very fabric of reality.
Dad: "Why the fuck you crying so damn loud"
This is awesome man
this makes me cry a lot
As I was listening to this at my work the clouds parted and the sun began to shine on me
It's been two years since Terry passed.
Damn bros this will never get any easier.
Terry seems and looks like the guy you would least expect to die early. Rip.
true that, I come here everyday...
@@fortuna2577 I've been coming here more recently. Good to see my programming ability explode in the past 3-6 months. Terry truly was a genius.
@@angus6858 how's ur coding career going? interested to know cuz i'm an upcoming programmer,started 3 months ago
@@enceladus4900 Run my own digital agency now, got 2 startups going that I'm a Co-Founder behind and continuing to blow up my understanding of programming haha. Still nowhere **near** Terry, but getting there.
Programming is like any skill. If you want to get better (and I mean seriously get better), wrap your life around programming. Everything that I do in my life right now is secondary to my programming, because I want to be so good at it that I can create whatever I want, not being limited by skillset. It's an absolute rush when you can think of something, and there is not a **doubt** in your mind that you can build it.
You're a good person.
I listened to the original song and didn't think much of it. It sounded amateurish and fumbling. After listening to your astonishingly beautiful arrangement of it, I was once again reminded how many beautiful things we people manage to miss every day because we fail in either listening or communicating. Thank you for seeing the spark of something beautiful in Terry's work and translating it into something that the rest of us can more easily appreciate. RIP Terry.
idk why but , whenever i feel down, i come here and cry
Whenever I'm sad about thinking his death and how it was so tragic, I get reminded that he's most likely up there now with God. It's what he would've have wanted. and that gives me reassurance..
In spite of his declining mental health, he truly still has good on him. Man, the world is pretty much cruel and injustice. But he survives it all, his schizophrenia and dementia, not to mention he's living alone and homeless. He might be another man that passed on to your life, but he is a king for some. A King that needs nothing but.. redemption and acceptance.
He is truly a good example of how that a person that has monster that are bigger inside him, but still has goodness in it. He fights until his last breath, and leave a mark for everyone to know his legacy.
I think this song is like life. It was born from chaos. But there’s an order behind it that gives it structure and makes it haunting and beautiful. It reminds me of a forest. It looks chaotic but pay attention and you can see the order behind it.
Terry, you're in God's arms now. There's no more suffering and you live in everlasting glory in heaven and on earth for all you've done
For what God has done, to be clear. But it's true!
Terry will live on in a place where Glowies will not bother him anymore.
Rest in peace, Terry.
Now despite me knowing nothing of programming despite my best efforts I am left astounded by what Mr Terry had achieved. The one man project made from nothing to an entire operating system with its own 3d graphics and such. His schizophrenia may have contributed to this project starting in the first place. It terrifies me to the core. A testament to the possibly unlimited intellectual capacity of the human mind and the things that come from it's utilisation from hyperfocus and unbroken dedication. How someone can achieve so much by simply wanting to and not expecting any form of benefit. And finally when his time came, He was taken to God. RIP Terry Davis.
Ill sure as hell miss saint Terry.
I know it wouldn't have been possible without Terry's influence and his original melody but what you have made here, the end result, is pretty incredible (esp with the reverb and when played on the piano). This deserves millions of views.
thank you i really appreciate that... he really had something amazing with TempleOS
What if Terry was a hidden Angel and our creator wanted to see how we would treat such an angel.
Terry could see them. They are real but the secular mind cannot comprehend and instead calls them "insane". Terry knew more than most people realize. I would have liked to talk to him about this reality and where he actually lived.
I feel the deep sadness in this song. RIP God loneliest programmer, Terry A. Davis.
Damn, I still miss Terry. I know, it's weird. He was one of us. Only 5000 times more brilliant. I'd wish some talented documentary maker would make a film about him.
Unfortunately, I only heard about Terry Davis a few months before his death. But even in that time frame, I felt like he was a friend to me and everyone. Up till now I am Truly sad that he has gone, hopefully he rests peacefully with God. R.I.P Terry.
He was even more impressive in real life.
God bless you for playing this.
Found about him recently, amazing dude, I regret that I didn't find him earlier.
So true I know him since a weak... but i hate me that i dont find him earlier
@@okay1296 week
Rest In Peace King Terry. A man not made for a world like ours. May those who glow break beneath your wheels.
still makes me cry. goddamn. terry was a special guy. i hope that somehow he is aware of how much he is loved
Rip Terry, still thinking of you x
Don't cry now that its over, smile because it happened
I cried my eyes out to this cover. Thank you, man. Terry was such a troubled yet brillant mind, it's so heart breaking that he was never recognized for his monumental achievement.
His song fits him the off notes indicate imperfections and the tone starts low then high and then somber like a calm gentle end. Like a blaze it slowly sprang and disappeared. Truly a magnificent magnum opus.
It still hurts. I miss you Terry.
RUclips recommended me a video about the smartest programmer in our world. After hours now I am here and it hurts...
RIP King
Same ... 😔
Its been 2 years since terry davis passed 😔. Rest easy king
3 years now
Im crying....RIP Terry.
"He wasn't the genius we deserved,but the genius we needed." RIP Terry Davis gone but not forgotten.
Hauntingly beautiful, RIP Terry A. Davis, we need him more than ever
you better give me half that boiled denim frank
Let’s be clear, he was literally the smartest programmer who has ever lived.
Man, this is so touching, I'll never forget terry and all his work and dedication, truly someone special...
When you’ve unlocked more than 75% of your brain and being among peasants. Too far ahead of his time. Every couple of years I go down the rabbit hole, and watch him again. Learning new things about who he really was. RIP Terry.
Rest in peace Terry. Your videos and life carry on to the next generation of computer scientists. In a world of high tech post covid society, where general sentiment from the public is that technology is scary, due to government spying and kafkaesque beurocracy; you have reminded us forever that technology is just an output of random ticks and low level synapses. Just like us. It's nature, Terry's nature of mind is natural just like the computations of this interconnected world.
Beautiful
His mind is right and he’s walking the streets of gold now. RIP Terry.
He inspired me to be better at programming stuff.
Rest in Peace, King
I still miss Terry, misunderstood and ill treated. Rest in piece Terry, and thank you.
The Elder Scrolls VI intro theme.
I shall never forget the name of Terry A. Davis.
R.I.P. Terry, I didn't know about him until a week ago, and it's been a emotional journey, to everyone reading this, go through jesus and accept god in your heart and he will accept you in his, stay strong kings
This literally played randomly from my YT algo. Terry best dev,
God rest your soul now, Terry Davis. You brought so much to me and so many others.
RIP Terry, he's smiling down on us with Mr. God.
Thank you.
Came after watching Dank’s video.
