I am Myuu. A musician who loves writing dark piano songs. They are free to use as long as credit is given. I always try to make the music sound creepy and beautiful at the same time. In addition to my piano and horror soundtracks I also do orchestrated pieces and industrial/experimental work.

I was disappointed the game wasn't more like this trailer. The terror and sorrow of a zombie outbreak.

[pandemon]

i remember that trailer. bawled my eyes out due to the story of it. played the game, laughed all the way.

[CreepsMcPasta]

This song should come with a free box of tissues.... ;^;

[AdAstraMadCat]

Cannot believe this was ten years ago. Still listening to this song regularly.

[russellblaker]

This is so beautiful. This song can literally make me cry. When I can't sleep at night, I listen to this and think about my life and what I could have done better. This song is amazing, words cannot describe how beautiful it is. Well done never heard anything more beautiful

[Davy_Jones_]

Whenever i heard this the first time, i began to tear up over how beautiful and sad this song was, and all i could think of were scenes of an after battle event in World War 1 where bodies of British, french and Germans layed dead across the battlefield and in the trenches. Could not stop thinking about it and crying at the same time.

[lsynno]

I always thought this tune was great the way it's sad but more melancholy than outright sorrowful. Very glad Myuuji did a cover of it.

[CreepyPastaJr]

Don't judge me if I enjoy my Myuuji with a glass of Scotch. >.>

[nataliedance]

This seriously made me cry. You are definitely one of the best pianists/musicians I have ever heard. Great job *grabs tissue box to sob some more*

[norah]

The music almost makes me cry. It's so sad.

[alexanderwilson]

this was my grandfather's favorite song from you today is the anniversary of his death. this song always made George happy

[JumbaFan]

NICE job on this one! I was skeptical about how it would be without violins and so on, but you nailed it. This one fits the mood that occasionally comes over me every Christmas since my grandmother passed away.

[TheHamerGamer]

What truly makes a game special for me is not its gameplay or graphics, it's how it relates to my inner self and my human side. The games which truly affect my heart and make me ask the big questions.

[clairbouyant]

The fact that "Forlorn" is in the related videos makes me want to cry even more...

[mindyauron]

This music always makes me cry so much. Can hear the pain in it and the original... it's so beautiful and makes me think of someone coping with loss

[ShiniAme]

This is quite the beautiful arrangement. It makes me long to just lay down in the rain and wash away the stresses of the world with the calming sound blocking everything. I have done so too.

[TheParadoxGamer]

The scene that played in my head as the song played was an ending to a film I'm working on about a guy living with his girlfriend and best friend but, they end up getting killed in a car accident and he becomes depressed suicidal and guilty because he was the one who was driving the car, the point is the audience gets to know his girlfriend and best friend and see the relationships the main character had with them. And we see him slowly tick and eventually loses it... He seems to lose his humanity.... He wants to smile so bad... He wants to be human again... For his girlfriend... For his friend... So he cuts one into his face... The smile now permanent he goes to the roof revolver in hand... Stands at the edge of the roof back facing the street... He looks up and says: "I'll be there... With you guys.. And maybe you'll forgive me..." A tear slides down his cheek as he puts the gun in his mouth... Leans back simultaneously pulling the trigger... It goes into slow motion the bullet passes through his brain and skull and it keeps flashing back to memories of him, his girlfriend, and best friend, and finally... He smiles... A real smile... And for a moment... He is human again....

[jilliandawson]

In the beginning it provoked painful memories of the past, but the middle lifted with such emotional I could remember was the feeling of someone loving me. And it was healing. Thank you.

Never have I heard something so beautiful, or Amazing in my life. Seriously this is the single greatest piano piece anyone has ever made. I may like other songs more because of how they relate to others including me, but this will always be my favorite song (besides toothpaste from no more heroes 2) without vocals.

[Shubdooba]

In turn, it is one of the greatest, even more when played by Myu. I love this song, as much as it turns a tear in my eye. Don't forget the trailor.
