This is a haunting piece that weighs on my soul every time I hear it. Spikes has been one of my fans for a very long time, and I've always wanted to play one of his pieces. Make sure to visit Spikes's channel ATs Magic Shop, he does some awesome piano covers!

[HastThoux]

To me it just sounds like anger at someone promised to never leave.

[hoatran-rqip]

This deserves orchestra and three movements.

[aysegulnevaaygar]

Are you sure he is only a fan?

Thats too good.

[peculiar_person]

Too bad the YouTube algorithm can’t read comments, otherwise it would probably recommend this to a lot more people

interesting confession, so i was just letting youtube autoplay me piano pieces while i cleaned my room. nothing was the matter, and i was cleaning my room quite normally. i'm starting to just pick up some loose clothes around my room, and this piece comes on. i didn't think anything about it when the first chord played. as the first 30 seconds progressed, i was picking up, slower, and slower, and eventually, i just, couldn't move. I sat on my bedside, and eventually, tears filled my eyes. it didn't feel happy, it's as if the way the piece sounded just unleashed a wave in my head that brought all of the depression that i had thought i had overcome. around the 45 second mark comes, and it is like i cannot thing about anything else but immense pain. like the worst heart throb imaginable. as it continues i start to bawl. and it was so confusing to me, i didn't know why i was in so much emotional pain so suddenly. im sobbing, and my chest weighs a thousand pounds. and the piece continues to transform my emotional state. i let it happen and just acknowledged that there was a reason that i needed to hear this. this was maybe two or three weeks ago. ever since, i have tried to just listen to it, just to really hear it, and everytime for some reason i cannot not cry to it. literally the 5 times that ive listened to it have ended in sobbing and this awful pain in my chest.

i still don't know why, and i also don't know why i posted this comment, i guess just wanting to let people know that even if you don't listen to raw piano pieces (which i usually don't), sometimes the way something sounds can hit you like PTSD, even if you have never heard it before.

God damn this piece is powerful. I've heard people talk about the meaning behind music and I just nodded along thinking, "yeah yeah, music can be happy and sad etc." but this piece just takes an emotion and portrays it so accurately and in so much detail. In each section of the piece it just feels like the piece looked into my soul and pulled an emotion out and shoved it in my face. "Here! Remember this terrible emotion you had? Here it is again!"

The intro is a blend of blissful ignorance of life's inevitabilities and a foreshadowing of what was to come. Like I'm a teenager growing up and enjoying life most of the time but occasionally remember that I'll have to grow up one day and lose my youth. It feels as if those sad thoughts creep in and out of the music, just like they would fade in and out of my head. At 0:29 it feels as if life finally caught up with me and everything is starting to go downhill. I've lost the fun I once had when I was younger. Other things and other people are moving on from me. Everything is going wrong and everything is out of my control. At 0:49 I find some ways to cope. I find fun in some things. But those dark thoughts are still there, peaking through the happy facade, just as they creep into the music. 1:35 is another breaking point. Things are still getting worse and the little things I do to keep me sane are dwarfed by everything else in life. It builds and builds until it's too much, and everything comes crashing down at 1:57. The chord change at 2:04 is when I faced my problems and accepted them instead of finding ways to look around them. I've seen things from a different angle and the music symbolises this beautifully. 2:14 is when I finally realise all that I've lost. All that's gone wrong. Everything that I've just been shoving into a dark corner in my headspace. It's a climactic moment of helplessness and despair. And then the ending at 3:45 - the return to the original melody. It's as if I couldn't deal with everything, couldn't solve my problems, couldn't find my way back to the beaten path. So I just return to what I know. I return to my inner child and just will the bad things away.

As a 17 year old with severe anxiety and depression, trying to live my life and find the happy self I've lost, while also growing up and learning my responsibilities, this piece hits harder than anything.

Piano, In my opinion, is the best way to express really complicated feelings. It's impossible to express these feelings by talking. I know, other instruments also do that. But piano is a whole different language. It tells you a story, a requiem. Unfortunately, I'm not gifted with such blessing. Hope one day, I can play this myself. It's truly a masterpiece.

[bluezel]

This really hits hard.
My eyes are sweating.

[dermayhan]

How is it possible that this masterpiece only gets so less attention? That’s a shame! I just fell in love with this piece, the emotions, the passion and rewinds I get... can’t really describe in words, it’s amazing. The part that gets me the most is 2:15min. God, that’s toooo good!! You are such a talented composer, pls try to get a way that this piece gets a lil push by gran piano YouTubers or sth, I can’t stand the fact that so much people are missing out this. Lots of love

[im_jupyter]

wish i could listen to this for the first time again.

[ryan]

I don't know why but that part at 1:38 sounds so good to me. The whole piece sounds beautiful, and it sounds angry, yet sad. I'm still a beginner pianist but I KNOW that I will play this one day. truly amazing piece.

[ilovetaylorswift_]

the 8 dislikes are our childhood selves thinking this is boring and not real music,






boy were we wrong.

[wicked]

did anyone else notice he slammed those keys so hard at 4:09 that his camera shaked?

[aerialkiller]

When I was a little boy, they told me that the world was perfect. They said that the good guys always win and as long as I'm a good boy I'll find love and happiness.
Then they told me that there are also bad people in the world.
Then they told me that friends don't last forever.
Then they told me that heartbreak happens to everyone and everything would be fine.
Then they told me that the pain will end and that I'll always be able to find another girl.
Then they told me that maybe the world wasn't exactly perfect and people don't always get what they deserve.
Then, finally, they fell silent and left me alone.

Now I'm a 17-year old introvert who nobody wants to hang out with and who doesn't want to hang out with anyone. I wonder if I have depression. I probably do. I don't really care. So I put myself into music and try to make a piece tell my story. I've been looking ever since.

I ask and I receive.

[zombiehugs]

Im not typically one to write comments but this in my opinion is one of the most soul touching pieces of music ive heard in a very long time....I thank the composer and the pianist for blessing my ears this day. Keep up the amazing work!

[Sanguinare]

His song is so good, I'm glad I can listen to it again

[theforgotten]

Im so captivated by this masterpiece. I feel a lot of emotion. I can't explain all I can say is this is absolutely a masterpiece. Mr. Spike thanks for this.

[qwerty-hpkq]

I love this song when you played it in your other vid! Love your work Spikes! It’s nice to know that you don’t have to be 60+ years old to be writing exciting music. Spikes, Lionel, Bat, Rey Marvin, Michael Chen, and Cameron Lee Simpson are good examples of this. Also, beautiful playing Lionel!

[davidi.w.c]

This is comparable to some of the most famous pieces and rivals the greatest compositions as it brings out many emotions and never has a part which seems like it is not needed the escalation is perfect and needs much more recognition than this it seems as if it was composed in the romantic era it is truly genius
