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!

Lionel, can you compose a piece that CAN be played in 5 octaves for once? I just need the satisfaction playing something that can fit in my 61 key Casio CTS 100 without modifying it and making it sound really bad.
Also please make it a little playable for small and not skilled players like me.
(Note: About the arpeggios, my left hand is not possessed)
Just consider it if it is worth your time...
Yay I just realized I can play Chopin prelude 28 no 20 with transpose

@@averybondeson3322 I'd imagine it's no small task. That was meant so youtube tells me new stuff is here in this comment. Good luck!
@@insertcreativenamehere7113 Thanks, I'll let you know
To me it just sounds like anger at someone promised to never leave.
thats deep bro
Damn you are reading my mind
Well as explained by MusicalBasics the name lycoris radiata is the name of some flower that represents death. So he theorized that this song was about the anger of loosing someone
@@brageohm7382 woah man that has me tripping
@@brageohm7382 i dont remember him saying anger specifically it can be inferred from the music but i dont think musical basics ever said anger he said the song was about after someone experiences their first death of someone close to them they start to grow up and are revealed to a dark world they were oblivious too as a child almost like the child itself is dying... but i will check the og video
Are you sure he is only a fan?
Thats too good.
He's only a fan. A very talented fan. A friend, a collaborator, a pure soul.
Thank you for the kind words!
Batikan Iscan no one can reach to this level with only talent, you can be the best piano player in the world, but without passion, someone who gives life to piano, will surpass you in a second.
A flower can be beautiful how much you want, but the one who grows more, is the one who get more water and sun.
@@crazy7623 What a beautiful reply. I'm surprised no one has liked your comment, besides me.
Leo 1794 I don’t think likes really matter, after all it’s just a button. If they understood what is wrote in the comment, it’s the same thing.
Too bad the CZcams algorithm can’t read comments, otherwise it would probably recommend this to a lot more people
is it still working if i reply this
Imagine having talent
You just need effort
@@izaz527gaming6 that's debatable.
Discipline > talent
@@millermiller3439 With modern music, we live in an age where I'd it sounds good, it is good. Though I am a music student going on to be a composer after a few more semesters, one thing I have learned is you don't have to follow all the rules to make a master piece. Knowing what you're doing is beneficial, but not required.
Bro everyone has talent you might just not know it yet.
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.
(Composer of the piece here) Wow, I still can't believe how many people are able to feel the emotion I tried to convey. Sorry that you had to cry but I'm glad to hear that the piece speaks to you! The original feeling this Rondo tries to convey is a loss of something, a death of someone, an inevitable and uncontrollable brute force breaking something that was so close to you. I don't know what you are going through but this piece is a musical manifestation of my personal growth since birth, but as a majority of my life consisted of chronic depression the aspect of death sticks out more than the aspect of being reborn. It might have been this emotional context that you felt or maybe it was just the melody, harmony or rhythmic. Whatever it was, I'm glad to know that you like my piece and hopefully you're able to find comfort in it!
@@ATsMagicShop your piece is damn good. It deserves its attention.
ATs Magic Shop you are incredibly talented, this composition brings me to tears every time.
Music is the souls words. Simply magic.
Im sure we can all agree, you spikes, conveyed what you wanted to
Perfectly
@@ATsMagicShop i would really love sheet music for this, i don't know how to read sheet music, but i think this is definitely the first song that i want to try to learn how to read it with. thank you so much for making this.
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.
Hi Zesty, since Lionel first uploaded the second Composer-Submissions video I've been reading every single comment on my piece (in this video too) and haven't been able to relate to a comment so much. What you described is a very well structured summary of what kind of story roughly went into this piece. The truth is that I had been suffering from depression almost all my life and finally found an exit from it thanks to BTS when I turned 18. I'm 19 now and realized that my first album (second, actually) needs to be a musical manifestation of my life in order to leave behind two decades of darkness and open the doors for my future albums which will be more relevant for my career. Rondo Lycoris Radiata became a symbol of growth and chaos, but I intently chose to focus on the dark side of growth and talk not about aging, but the topic of undergoing psychical death in order to grow. The reason I chose this focus point is because my life hasn't exactly been a highlight reel and due to this album being a personal/subjective manifestation and not social/objective manifestation it was important to include that aspect in the piece. I totally understand your situation and wish you the best of luck in life. Keep on fighting, it will all be worth it! And remember, the darkest shadows are created by the brightest lights, some people just get to see the shadow first
@@ATsMagicShop It is so inspiring to know that such a meticulously crafted and beautiful piece came from someone who hasn't been treated well by the world, just like me. Your quote, "The darkest shadows are created by the brightest lights" will stick with me for a long time. Keep creating music spikes - you have a rare ability in that you are able to convey such raw emotions through your music. I hope my story inspires you to keep writing music - I will most certainly be listening to it. Thank you for the kind words
@@dale4751 You're most welcome, it's always inspiring to see others who are having a rough time and find comfort in music. I can show you another piece of the same album which also has full lyrics sheets if you'd like to, I think you might be able to relate to it
@@ATsMagicShop It's fine - but thanks for the offer. There doesn't need to be special exceptions for me. And also I'm quite busy and don't have the time to learn and practise as much piano as I'd like to. I've been working on akmigone's victory cover for three months now. Again thanks for the offer
@@dale4751 Ah, that's fine, good luck!
This is my favorite fan piece
Fr
Yeah same
I want to play it on violin but the key is really difficult 😢
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.
(Composer of the piece here) Thank you so much!
@@ATsMagicShop I'm really honored. :) Please do continue your composing career.
@@yuutsunoumi Will do
i like to express feelings in a story.
i can sorta play with one hand on piano and sometimes i try to use both my hands but its so difficult to focus on both idk why
wish i could listen to this for the first time again.
Wow that’s actually very powerful. I wish I could too🙁
This was my first tragic like piece I have heard of piano. This has changed my way of viewing the piano. I love this. I like to sing with it, eventho there is no lyrics. You know. Hope I find more of the se songs they really showed me their is different music. PS: sorry to all who read this my English isn’t my mother tongue so grammar isn’t really priority to me. Just communication.
This really hits hard.
My eyes are sweating.
I'm not crying, YOU are crying (*sniff sniff crying sound*)
My ears are sweating
@Hendrik Blume I’m not crying! This is just tired juice from my eyes!
my teeth are sweating
@@revui834 my big toe is sweating
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 CZcamsrs or sth, I can’t stand the fact that so much people are missing out this. Lots of love
100% agree with this, absolutely amazing, especially that part at 2:15.
Think this is going to be hard because technically is not so perfect. But honestly, I can feel sorrow that embraces me. I love it, even if it has his technical limits
My favorite part is (0:00 - 4:16), but the part that gets me is from 2:04 [That little PIZZAZ at the beggining]
(Composer of the piece here) Thank you so much for the kind words!
this hit on a whole different level
The face you made while crying is the same as your profile
@WatermelonFroggy literally
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.
A rebellion against suffering. It's brilliant
@@DrDrake-kz7js nicely worded 🙂
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.
(Composer of the piece here) If this is your life story I'm very sorry for what's happened, but remember that the darkest shadows are created by the brightest lights. Some people just get to see the shadow first, I know exactly how you feel because I went through something similar. Don't worry, keep fighting and I can assure you that one day it will all pay off. Let me know if you have a discord account, we can talk on there
I'm in the same case as you ... I was saying that if I died now I wouldn't care but now I don't want to die just to be able to listen to this masterpiece lol

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!
His song is so good, I'm glad I can listen to it again
did anyone else notice he slammed those keys so hard at 4:09 that his camera shaked?
I think it's the piano that's shaking. You can see it vibrating throughout the whole video at forte parts.
Y u so yung? O and that's a shortcut. (Yung.)
SHAKED
that his camera *'SHOOK'* not shaked. bad grammar.
Shook spear. (LOL)
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.
my favorite part about this piece, is that you are hearing the same notes around 3-4 times total. but every different section feels like a whole different experience like wow. im not a musician but now i know what teachers mean when they ask what the piece sounds like. might have just cried dhmu
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
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!
Of course m8
Ok I fixed it👍
@@qwerty-hp6kq Hahahahahaha

holy- wow- the transition at 2:04 physically took my breath away

3:20 I can never forget this part, it is stuck in my head to this day.

2:13 to 2:32 i think my heart exploded
There are not many songs that make me cry. This is one of them.
I wanna play this so badly but i just started learning the piano
Edit: Wow 123 likes!
you'll get there, I'm 14 and just started teaching myself after not having lessons for 3 years and the more you play the less intimidating these pieces look
I'm 14 to and I remember like 2 years ago i was so bad and now I'm actually playing chopin revolutionary etude i practiced like 3 hours a day
You'll get there.. I'm 15 and I started this piece, and the only reason I'm as far as I am is cause I love it so much
@R S 3rd grade?
I believe in you man. You’ll get there in no time if you put in the effort!

You're welcome, thank you for the kind words!
This isn’t a song you learn this is a song your heart already has to know
00:00 to 00:24 - Being lost
00:25 to 00:50 - Finding your way back
00:51 to 1:09 - Realizing everything you did while you were lost, feeling sad and ashamed of it
1:10 to 1:50 - Accepting that what you did was okay as long as yo don't do it anymore for everyone makes mistakes, and finding peace
1:51 to 2:04 - Finally finding peace with yourself, after working towards growing up and becoming a better person
2:05 to 2:30 - Finding happiness with your life and who you became
2:31 to 2:43 - Looking back with a smile, proud of the person you became from the lost person you were
2:44 to 2:55 - Missing the people you lost throughout the journey of finding your way
2:55 to 3:13 - Accepting the sad reality and becoming peaceful
3:14 to 3:43 - Running through life with the biggest smile, for nothing can stop you after finding peace and happiness within yourself
3:44 to 4:12 - Looking back at your life, Proud of yourself.

@@ATsMagicShop did you have sheet music (and Midi) on this? ))
Here I am again, still loving this ❤
It has such a strong melancholic and tragic feel... I cant really explain.
Like feeling utterly powerless over a devastating situation in life... 💔
Or like a defeated desperation for being unable to resolve something life crushing...
This to me sounds like a powerful but elegant storm of emotions such as sadness, anger, grief but also compassion and pity.
It's beautiful.
I'm not crying, you're crying
This reminds me of of failure, anger, loss, angst, grief...all kinds of sadness. As an author, this really expresses deep feelings. The composer portrays the the childhood innocence fading as years past but I see it in another way. For some reason, it made me realize of the cruelty of the world, your most loved one died and that person is who you love, may it be family or lover or friend. When you try to love again, all you can experience again is loss. The greater the love, the greater the loss. It made me recall one story/saying "Why do wonderful people die? If you look around the garden of flowers, which would you pick? Of course the most beautiful one". Losing your loved one is hard and from experience, all I can say is that it is hard to try and move on and broken to look back at the past.
Am I the only one who almost died because I literally forgot to breath while watching this
I’ve listened to this 10 times, and each time I’ve had chills.
I'm shaking-... This is beautiful. I'm gonna use this in my presentation for school
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you like my piece! Let me know how the presentation goes!
Absolutely adore this piece.
Yt reccomended brought me to this video. Glad I took that suggestion.
I’ve seen so many people say how they feel during this piece and I wanna share my “feelings.” I honestly have a very hard time conveying emotions and I honestly don’t understand them. To me, emotions are an act, a way to act okay and to make everyone around me see me as normal. When I listen to this piece I get these “feelings” that I can make sense of. It’s like my soul is screaming at me to cry but I’m to numb to do anything. I just sit there in confusion and ponder what it’s like to feel and understand what you’re feeling. I’ve honestly been wanting to talk about my inability to feel negative emotions properly for a while but I don’t want others to think me weird. Even though I know my friends won’t think wrong of me I still don’t say anything. This piece wanted me to spill all my worries to the world and that’s what I did. If you read all of this, thank you.
PS: Love the song very much and wish you the best with your life :)
Genuinely the person wrote this piece has no idea how much it helped me
Leaves me breathless every time. I can seriously lose myself in this piece
I absolutely love this piece and it's just ... indescribable. It is truly amazing.
Thank you!
why do I discover this masterpiece only now !? I feel like a friend betrayed me and left me and I'm angry and sad because of that
(if someone could do an hour long version pls I want to listen to it all the day)
Someone did an animation tied to this song (easy to find on You Tube.) The composer was in the comments. Someone asked him about the meaning. He replied that this was the journey of a young boy growing up to become a psychopath. Dark hey!?
I think you can probably find the animation video for his more full explanation. I was so pleased to have found it :)
@@timtreefrog9646 hey I couldn’t find it I was wonder if you could link it 😅 sorry for the trouble
@@munirahahmad No problem. Look for ATs Magic Shop's comment. It is the 12th reply down within that.
czcams.com/video/DNAmBl20T4w/video.html
0:01-0:26 your partner swears to you that they will never betray you
0:26-0:28 they subtly pull a knife out and hold it up to your throat
0:28-0:36 your life flashes before your eyes and you are confused
0:36-0:48 you realize what is going on and are angry at your partner
0:48-1:11 you are scared of death, but their betrayal hurts more
1:11-1:34 you think of all your memories with your partner and wonder if they ever really cared about you at all
1:34-1:56 you realize how foolish and naive you were, and are angry at yourself
1:56-2:04 you escape their hold
2:04-2:31 you eventually get away
2:31-2:43 you think about where you can get help, and what you are going to say
2:43-2:55 though he tried to kill you, it pains you to think of them imprisoned
2:55-3:15 you try to convince yourself to turn them in, but you can’t
3:16-3:22 reality sets in, and you realize that your love for them was never required, and it never will be, so why do you want so badly to save them?
3:22-3:42 all of your emotions rush at once, and you begin to sob uncontrollably. frustration and sadness keep you from being able to think about what to do next
3:42-4:10 you come to terms with the fact that you will never be truly loved, and sit there in acceptance.
I know this is really tragic, but it was what I thought of when I heard this!! I love this piece. Absolutely heartbreaking.
To Spikes:
Thanks that you made this song. Just last month 3 of my family members died in a car accident, this song somehow reminds me of the pictures in my head of the car that they sat in. But it also gives me power to get over it somehow and stop crying about it. I just want back the old times I used to talk with them all night and laugh about dumb thing. I don't know how to thank you enough. This song really helps me. Also a big thank you to MusicalBasics Covers for playing that song.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Rest In Peace.
I'm very sorry for your loss, hope you're doing better now. I'm glad to know that you could find comfort in my piece. Remeber, the darkest shadows are created by the birghtest lights, some just get to see the shadows first. Take care of yourself and stay healthy!
2:04 sounds so good, i love this section so much! Its a mix if so many different emotions
Still sounds epic
Listen To This Damn Near Every Night Before I Sleep.. Amazing Piece
i honestly love the part from 1:41 to -
fuck it i love the entire song but 1:41 to 2:30 is so powerful
both you and spikes did so well in portraying all the emotions in this song. I cant really get it into words but its amazing
The whole thing is a fucking masterpiece I’m in love with it
I never knew I could enjoy piano pieces this much. I always needed some lyrics. Something to sing along to. Just something, that could express the meaning of the song.
I didn't know piano pieces could be so emotional and enjoyable and carry such strong messages.
"Beauty fades. That is why it is beautiful."
Remind me in a few years for when I’m good enough to learn this absolutely amazing piece, to learn this song and play it
Lycoris Radiata, also known as the Red Spider Lily is actually a flower. The meaning is something along the lines of "Flower of hell" the flower normally symbolises death or crossing over to the other side. I think this piece is very accurate at depicting that, it's wonderful
This is the only song I have ever heard that speaks a thousand words without even talking
1:56
Oh, I just love this part. To me, it sounds like the rapid descent into desperation, fear and overwhelming sorrow. It sounds like someone going insane.
Honestly, I love this piece so much. It gives off that vibe of trusting someone but used your trust against you.
Yeah totally
I listened to this when the first video came out and have always loved it. My grandfather was diagnosed with brain cancer about a month ago so we had come to visit him, tonight this song popped back up into mind so I listened to it as I drew spider lilys in the notebook that my dad (his son) had been using to track his medications and how he was doing. He passed 2 hours ago with most of his family there. While I was up sitting near his bed in his final moments I had never had a chance to turn off the music, this song now holds a greater meaning to me than it ever has before. Grandfather Craig you were an incredible friend, husband, father, and grandfather and you will be missed dearly by all, may you rest without suffering in heaven till we can all meet you again at those beautiful golden gates.
My heart goes out to the composer. I listen to this amazing piece at least 10 times a week and each time it touches my soul. Thank you for this masterpiece🙏🙏
Actually brought a tear to my eye.
But, the way it ends sounds like there'll be a part 2. I hope that's the case. This whole piece is just absolutely beautiful.
Hear "The gentle zephyr" after this. It somehow eases the pain brought up by this piece.
Also.. Listen to R. M. Rizal "Kintab" it's really calming and beautiful. Eases the pain even more.
this is my favorite piano piece
the way i felt this in my chest, truly beautiful piece.
I-
I just can't...
I was 10 when I had to learn how to be 20. I'm now 14 and trying to be my innocent self I was four years ago, scared of letting that little girl die in my arms. I can feel her crying in my heart right now while listening to this. She is scared too. Time's running out.
i hope your doing okay. You’re so incredibly strong.
i know im 2 years late but you should try writing a letter to your inner child. this is what my therapist told me.
This song gives me the feels
This is so good, I’ve listened to it over and over again the past week
I'm not thinking and the music makes me cry for itself.
Many people can’t enjoy this not because they haven’t seen it but because they don’t see the nature in a composed song like this. Not as a song worth listening to because they don’t care about it but a song they wouldn’t usually listen to and thus has a totally different understanding. On top of that a whole new meaning of life that you try to get over a different song you would normally listen to on the radio. Just gets overwritten and thought of depression or stuck in a bland version life that no “normal person” would want. Because in the end you don’t see songs like that in a certain part of the radio but only in the minds of people that shut their life so others don’t judge them. and it just gets overwritten as time flies by only to be remembered by the people who share this song to their younger piano successor. And feel like actually expressing their actually normal desires to compose a song that could possibly have more emotion and compassion and rage and symphony that you can’t not cry.
Thank you spikes. How can I beat that
To me it's sounds like an honoured knight who lost his honour and mission gaining it all again, just for a brief moment, and fight with all he got for the last time.
i can NOT stop saying how much i love this piano piece. its emotional. and strong. i love it. so much
good job spikes.
Infinite like for this addition to my soul.
So uh i usually dont get like this listening to music. I listened to the song and i couldnt stop thinking about my uncle who had died last year and i was bawling my eyes out thinking of him. He really only used facebook and messenger. I was never too good at responding to people in texts and he would send me a paragraph of heartfelt messages and i couldnt really muster up more than a "thanks, hope all is well." So i sent him a message tonight. It was more of an essay really. I apologized for not talking more for not starting the conversation for not responding as much as i should have been. I gave him an update on my life and i just really want to thank spike. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You dont know how much i needed this mostly because i didnt know either. Thank you.
You are most welcome Jonathan, your uncle sounds like a very nice person! I'm glad that you wrote him back, it's these little things which really matter in life. I am glad that my piece helped you out, thank you for writing such an amazing comment!
When you know the meaning of the song this hits you really hard.
The anger, the sadness... The longing in each note... It reached my very soul. This is powerful. 💕😘
My contribution to the interpretation of this piece - it sounds like someone is weeping for injustice or similar emotional trauma/abuse, and the repeated sixteenth notes that are dedicated to just one note is the frustration that comes with it. All radically placed into one song. There are not many piano pieces that make me stop what I'm doing and really consider how I'm feeling, how I'm doing, and this piece earned itself up there. Man.
Thank you so much! I'm very flattered to hear these kind words. That's definitely an interesting interpretation of that section!
I see this and click instantly
Just bought this. I played piano for 3 years a few years ago, and I came back and increased my skill level just to play this piece.
Time to practice. cya
Thanks for the wonderful music
Using my dad's account
I first listened to this in the video you made with the other songs, but THIS... I just love it. And the story is so deep, I understand it, since I've always thought that when we grow up we loose a part of us too. I cried during this because even if I'm 12 I could feel myself in it. I would never grow if I could. I really thank Spikes for this.
I think whats truly amazing is how much emotion this piece makes you feel. I dont think ive ever felt so emotional from a piece like this. Who knows, maybe someday if i have the strength i'll try to make an orchestra with this beauty, but this seems to me for now untouchable.
Its just too good.
the only way i can describe this is beautiful. it’s so intense and overwhelming it’s like drowning. i’ve listened to it again and again and it never stops being so powerful. just pure emotion that hurts but in a beautiful way that you can’t shake. it’s like everything all at once.
i’m not even exaggerating when i say this is the BEST piano piece i’ve ever heard!
(Composer of the piece here) Wow, thank you so much!!
@@ATsMagicShop AHHH YOU ARE SO SKILLED😩😩
@@tiffpeters7602 Haha, thank you very much, I still have a long road ahead of me though! I am planning to release a full album (including Lycoris Radiata) on my channel next month!
@@ATsMagicShop that’s fantastic! you’re amazing, just hold on to your passion!!
@@tiffpeters7602 Will do, thank you for supporting me! My goal is to become an independent musician (singer/producer/songwriter/dancer) in future! Only singing is what I still need to learn
lots of inspiration from Chopin with those descending runs, beautiful.
1:56 is so smooth that transition
I love this piece so much I remember when they shared it in the discord in original content and I fell in love with it. I shared it to my mom and she loved it too. As I am entering adulthood this piece hits home
That buildup and fall at 1:50 is glorious
This has turned into my favourite piano piece, i cant get enough of it. Thank you
(Composer of piece here) I'm glad you like it so much!
This would be a good therapy aid, as it brings up the sadness in your own life, and it feels like you're going threw it with someone right next to you, listening and helping
I have only recently started liking classical music and can undoubtedly say this is my favourite I have heard. The emotion played into every note is incredible. I am only twelve and an average person and it shows that it’s not just “old people” who like music like this. I love this piece so much it makes me feel so many emotions rush through me all at once it’s hard to explain. Spikes has done an amazing job creating this masterpiece and I hope it gets more recognition that it deserves.
(Composer of the piece here) Thank youu, I'm glad you can relate to my piece so much! I'm planning to release a full album of original piano compositions (including Lycoris Radiata) on my channel next month!
I kinda wanna use this for the story I'm writing. I'm going to later on make it into an animation, and I'd love this sound to be in it. Because I'm story is called Lycoris Radiata before I even heard this and it matches so well.
wow, could u tell me when u finished the animation I'd love to see
Yeah! Same. I would love to read the story as well.
Please tell me when you finish writing it! Would love to read/watch it!!
I’m here for the same reasons as the other guys so :)
This piece has really touched me, from the first time I heard it in the original video. I listen to it every other day, making sure I preserve the feelings it brings. This is truly something special.
As a classical musician myself, I must say this is very well written and performed. Bravo!
this carries so much weight. i teared up the first time i heard it and i'm tearing up again, just listening to it. you can feel the pain and the struggle and the torment. what an incredible piece. it deserves the world
This reminds me of those days when fall turns to winter, so bittersweet but inevitable. Absolutely amazing.
I'm in love with this
I will practice hard so I can play this someday!!!
Seriously. Go subscribe to this guy. He needs more love.
Bruh, this piece is absolutely. I’m creating a webtoon about war, and the consequences of it, and I just started envisioning so many scenes and so many of my characters feelings. I could feel their own pain of what was taken away from them. Honestly, if I’m successful on the webtoon app, I would love to use this piece as a soundtrack with your permission of course and giving you credit. It’s honestly just amazing. I keep listening to it on repeat. I’m glad I watched he anime bleach, cause that’s what started my appreciation for pieces like this. You’re very skilled and I kind feel the passion. Props to the composer and player (idl if they’re two different people lol)
(Composer of piece here) Thank you very much, I'm glad you like my piece! I composed it and Lionel performed it. Feel free to use it in your webtoon as long as it's non commercial
Beautiful song, beautiful name, beautiful flower, beautiful meaning.
