This was the only scene in neon genesis Evangelion that made me cry, when Kaji spoke to Shinji as NERV was about to fall. I think such a figh shall never be replicated (except in 2.0)
This powerful soindtrack of NGE is something that prolly cure or worsen my depression. When this plays at that watermelon scene, I can't help bawling my eyes out. Thanatos literally means death in Greek. Very fitting considering how the piece gives this falling to oblivion vibe.
I’m not sure if neon Genesis will cure depression, but it sure does a great job at making you understand it. It does well by showing how depression is such a hard and long process to fix and that it eventually will happen and is worth it
Wow! Just wow! Most people play the second part of the song way too peppy when performing it on piano. This still has that virtuosity but keeps the tone even with the rest the piece making it overall much more whole and complete. Bravo, good sir! Bravo!
Quite clean fingerwork, something most pianists on youtube have none of and play songs like jelly. I very much like what you've done with the second part, I'll be uploading my version probably in a few months. Danke, very much enjoyed it.
Yes this is a noticeable improvement in sound. Again, excellent transcription, but I think you use too many 8ths. Instead of using so many 8ths, maybe try getting a little more creative with your chords or chord progression to get the emphasis instead of solely relying on doubling up on notes. Not that 8ths are bad, but I feel that too many musicians, especially cover artists, get too comfortable around them because of how easy it is give a little more punch to the sound. I think it limits their creativity and slows their compositional growth. Also, something nobody ever notices about this song is the message. Evangelion is all about contradiction, hence death and rebirth. Another cool example is the opening and ending songs. The opening is about facing reality, and the ending song is "Fly Me to the Moon", a sing about escapism and fantasy. This song is a single-song flagship for that message. The first half depressing and, almost exactly halfway through, flips over to bring inspirational or uplifting. Most covers I see is of people playing it sad and beautiful all the way through, and not cutting loose and having a little bit of fun in the second half like it was originally designed to have. This isn't criticism, just wanted to point point out a missing piece that I think you might find kind of neat. Sorry if it sounds like a negative comment. I think this is the best piano cover on CZcams for Thanatos. But I also like seeing people improve.
Joshua W again thank you for your time writing this comment. But i think i should point out that i'm 17 (18 now) and started playing piano by ear at the age of about 14, so if you are looking for a professional performance i am not the person you're search for. Playing piano is still my hobby and not my job. But i'd still like to improve which is why i am really thankful hearing feedback from a (probably) experienced musician. I hope to see your tips and comments again. (sry for any mistakes i'm not a native english speaker)
And THIS is what criticism is. Not "you suck" or "I can do better" but an actual thoughtful opinion. Whether it's positive or negative, i'm pretty sure that the author would be thankful for such as long as it has some explanation behind why you[as a viewer] (dis)like it. :)
@@KHRONOS2232 you suck i could have done this better my dad is billgates he will delete fortnite so u cant play it i dont agree with what you say you're a big stinker
Ok Bro. I have listened to Thanatos for few times and I learned how to play by ear from the orchestral version, because I have a problem with reading notes, I have no idea why, but the version I made by myself is almost the same as yours. You have a great ear sir. I think we all live in matrix😅
This is a fantastic cover of once of my favorite soundtrack pieces. A few weeks ago I decided to learn this arrangement. Before now, I haven't learned more than a couple very simple arrangements for songs I enjoy, and my keyboard I've never truly learned to play has otherwise been collecting dust for the majority of the years that I've owned it. Playing this seemed like an impossible task when I started, but I've learned the first minute so far by following along with your video. It only gets more complicated from here, but I've greatly enjoyed the process thus far, and I'm stubborn enough to keep at it until I attain the skill to play the rest. Thank you for inspiring me to learn to play a full arrangement of a song my keyboard. After I finish learning this one, I will most likely follow along with some of your other arrangements as well.
i listen to this all the time, this arrangement is just so beautiful. Every little thing added just feels so natural. I don't really practice piano too often but everytime I listen to this, it makes me wish I could play it.
@@Fragrance99 started learning this arrangement earlier this year. I've been on and off, but i've been slowly getting it down. currently at 2:04. still loving it event 3 years later lol
WOW. I have listened t this music/anime since I was 14 years old, I am now 36. Your playing and the excellent visuals really bring to life all of if, especially to one not musically trained such as I am. Excellent work in all respects - thank you!
+lasouuzm and why? I think for those who want to learn this it is better to download the midi file and play it. Don't you think it looks much better without a double keyboard? :D
Evangelion Episode 23 its just heartbreaking to see all clones of Rei being destroyed End Of Evangelion 33:22 i just can't Misato is a very great character till the very end
Now it's time, I fear to tell I've been holding it back so long But something strange deep inside of me is happening I feel unlike I've ever felt and it's makin' me scared That I may not be what I think I am What of us, what do I say? Are we both from a different world? 'Cause every breath that I take I breathe it for you I couldn't face my life without you And I'm so afraid There's nothing to comfort us What am I, if I can't be yours I don't sleep, don't feel a thing And my senses have all but gone Can't even cry from the pain Can't shed a tear now I realize we're not the same And it's makin' me sad 'Cause we can't fulfil our dream In this life So I must, let us break free I can never be what you need If there was a way through the hurt Then I would find it I'd take the blows Yes, I would fight it But this is the one Impossible dream to live What am I, if I can't be yours
Dude, literally I don't have any idea of music composition and that things. But man, heard it really feels nostalgic and kinda hurts. I think that is the point of this song. 10/10
Hi I saw that you're allowing for this cover to be used in other people's videos! I still just wanted to comment to let you know that I'll probably be using it in the background of my evangelion video. I'll credit you of course! I'll also probably be using your Come Sweet Death cover too. Thank you!!
Thank you very much for this arrangement! I'm trying to learn it right now. This my first Jazz piece and so far rhythm and chord progression been mind-blowing for me. I think, I need to bang my head against it a little more :). Your channel is one of my favorite and I hope to see more of your videos!
I´m a spanish speaker. First, I know now (reading comments) that he/she is only 17 yo...and then when I read my own praising his/her hands...make me feel like a creepy...then ´delightfult´ in spanish is "encantador" ( nice and sophisticated) I think it could be interpreted as "delicious"(?) ...just make me feel worse. Just felt wrong in so many ways. I´m gonna be more cautious haha sorry long response ...it´s me freaking out. Thanks you both are nice. :)
I haven't played the Piano, and I don't know Piano terminology. But I have to say at 3:59 to 4:03 I was very impressed with your right pinky, your right pinky sounded like a third hand to me.
Man whenever I listen to a song from an anime that I watched a long time ago I get emotional and I don’t know why maybe because the anime was so sad or heartbreaking and maybe that’s why but when it comes to neon genesis evangelion I don’t know what happens I get so sad. Well this was the first anime I ever watched so maybe that’s why I get so emotional.
congratulations on the 3 thousand subscribers, you're great. greetings from Argentina! PD: Could you do "Crybaby" from the devilman crybaby series on piano?
Wunderschönes cover! Wirklich schade, dass du so wenige Aufrufe und Abos hast, aber ich werd mal ein bisschen Werbung für dich machen :D danke für das Video und weiter so! :)
UPDATE: Sheet Music → de.scribd.com/document/406680882/Thanatos
alternative → sheet.host/sheet/Hh8qG8
Sincerely i dont get why people say that evangelion ost are bad.....probably are one of the best out there, of ALL FRANCHISES!
which people say that? :(
who?
La Classica all the way and the love the French piano classics, it has a heavy Austrian influence as well
I don't know anyone that say that
Literally no one says that tho
This is a really good version. 10/10 man
Wha, how did I find you here?
SAME
How weird all weebs have the same taste
I have never watched your videos, and yet I see you in every comment section, and I always get your polls. How can I make this suffering end
approved
Ayanami Rei REI! You can’t leave me like that! None of that good bye stuff ever again (definitely not the actual quote but you get the idea xD)
This was the only scene in neon genesis Evangelion that made me cry, when Kaji spoke to Shinji as NERV was about to fall. I think such a figh shall never be replicated (except in 2.0)
1:07 this lick is gold just as whole performance
This powerful soindtrack of NGE is something that prolly cure or worsen my depression. When this plays at that watermelon scene, I can't help bawling my eyes out. Thanatos literally means death in Greek. Very fitting considering how the piece gives this falling to oblivion vibe.
yes this song is also one of my all time favourites, thanks for your comment my friend!
i feel the same about this song (and most of NGE, to be honest.) Worsens and cures depression all at once.
I’m not sure if neon Genesis will cure depression, but it sure does a great job at making you understand it. It does well by showing how depression is such a hard and long process to fix and that it eventually will happen and is worth it
2:03 この絶望的に暗い感じから爽やかになる感じめっちゃ好き

So what happened? Why didnt ya upload it?

really means a lot
its crazy how crazy and good this is. literally fucied up. i love it man
thanks!
i listen to this all the time, this arrangement is just so beautiful. Every little thing added just feels so natural. I don't really practice piano too often but everytime I listen to this, it makes me wish I could play it.
thanks! now and then i also come back to this video thats why after all these years i still play it (:
@@Fragrance99 started learning this arrangement earlier this year. I've been on and off, but i've been slowly getting it down. currently at 2:04. still loving it event 3 years later lol
I absolutely love your arrangements, they capture the feeling of the Evangelion OST perfectly. 10/10
Dude, I don‘t know how to say this, so I just make it short: Thank you!!!
no thank u

It's beatiful, sad, jazzy, and amazing. I'm trying to learn it. Just incredible.
thank you!
really beautiful...i love the back round and music and everything. it's perfect 👌
+TheFrosty Pianist So it's better if you only see my keyboard than seeing both synthesia and my keyboard? And thank you c:
***** well no matter how you record I'll like it because the quality of your videos is beyond amazing... And no problem =)
i think it`s much better when you show both synthesia and your keyboard
+lasouuzm and why? I think for those who want to learn this it is better to download the midi file and play it. Don't you think it looks much better without a double keyboard? :D
Fragrance99 - Piano maybe you're right
I really like your covers, I think you're quite amazing (even though I don't really know anything about music and just enjoy listening to it)
+Ruuze you don't need to know something to make music as long as you enjoy making it. Thank you!
Sagisu is one of the best composers ever man, definitely up there with Hirasawa.
3:31 best part
Really picks up after 1:52 🤟🏾, and I can’t appreciate your credit to Amen Chan enough! LITERAL TONS of respect to you for that.
And gets HYPE again after 3:36 🤟🏾😄
Day 1 practicing this piece! beautiful! thank you for this upload!!!!
Evangelion Episode 23 its just heartbreaking to see all clones of Rei being destroyed
End Of Evangelion 33:22 i just can't Misato is a very great character till the very end
Asuka's fate in EoE breaks me
@@evh1734I know! She had such a great comeback and I felt so happy for her, then that happened…
Now it's time, I fear to tell
I've been holding it back so long
But something strange deep inside of me is happening
I feel unlike
I've ever felt and it's makin' me scared
That I may not be what I think I am
What of us, what do I say?
Are we both from a different world?
'Cause every breath that I take
I breathe it for you
I couldn't face my life without you
And I'm so afraid
There's nothing to comfort us
What am I, if I can't be yours
I don't sleep, don't feel a thing
And my senses have all but gone
Can't even cry from the pain
Can't shed a tear now
I realize we're not the same
And it's makin' me sad
'Cause we can't fulfil our dream
In this life
So I must, let us break free
I can never be what you need
If there was a way through the hurt
Then I would find it
I'd take the blows
Yes, I would fight it
But this is the one
Impossible dream to live
What am I, if I can't be yours
Congratulations, it was incredible.
Dude, literally I don't have any idea of music composition and that things. But man, heard it really feels nostalgic and kinda hurts. I think that is the point of this song. 10/10
