It's funny just how much subtle nuance there is in this song that's lost on you while you're blazing around the track at 800mph and trying not to die.

[Oh_its_Mike]

Why am I tearing up from nostalgia? Holy shit. Composers from this era were really channeling something special.

The YouTube algorithm won today. This was great!

I'm a simple man. I see F-Zero? I click. I see a piano cover of Big Blue? I thumbs up. I see someone genuinely getting into the groove of 30 year old Nintendo tunes? I gotta leave a comment! Right on, friend! Excellent!

[FallenPhoenix]

Big Blue slowed down enough on piano could probably get played in jazz cafe setting without anyone noticing that they're listening to some 90's SNES greatness 😅

Watching Phoebe Buffay actually playing freaking F-Zero's Big Blue on a piano made me smile so hard. Thank you so much.

[JimmyNuisance]

The melody line of this song is SO GOOD and so long and complex. So many amazing composers did fantastic work back in the 80s for these games. There was no reason for them to make 16+ bar long melodies, then play them ONCE and jump into another 32 bar phrase... It really contrasts with today's 8 bar looped melodies. Hell, 8 bars is even long for today's music.

And they did this on ancient bad synthesizers with 4 channels.

"Show me your moves!"

If i ever hit the lotto, I'll pay you millions of dollars to make piano recordings of every SNES soundtrack from my childhood just because it gives me such joy to hear the way you play it.

I like she leans in for the hard part.

Like we do with Video Games.

I love how Kara breathes as if she is a wind instrument player - this shows an understanding of musical phrasing and timing and is one of the marks of an excellent musician. She does this so intuitively I wonder if she even notices.

[obscurity]

Being able to sight read this at this speed is absolutely incredible.

[ariwl]

The joy on her face when she really started to get it halfway through was delightful.

[OldVikingSchool]

I'm so amazed by sheet music players perfectly knowing which notes to hit with sheer skills like the iconic Youtube legend Tom Brier. I'm just a filthy guitarist who struggle to read sheet music but this video and you encourages me to dive deeper into sheet music readings and knowing my notes without tracking with my eyes better.

[Spokker]

Big Blue sounds really good played a little more slowly. I never knew until now haha

[valiantvincent]

I absolutely LOVE F-Zero music, and you did a great job with this!

[camronchlarson]

F-Zero has some seriously good music. In every sense of the word.

[VirtyRanger]

I fake a smile all day long, but today, I'm sitting here on my lunch break listening to this and watching you sight read. It was pure joy. I've never seen such a thing. Literally dropped my jaw. Your speed and precision on the keys translated directly into magic.

[supporturlocalguillotine]

Never in my life would have I expected this song to sound as beautiful as it is badass, this is amazing thank you.

The live commentary ("Oh, crap!") and journey through the facial expressions inherent to stumbling through and mastering a new performance makes an already-great arrangement a lot more fun. Thanks for sharing!
