*****************
New solo piano performance! I'm quite excited to share this one.
This is quite the emotional piece for anyone who has played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and one that I've been working on for months now.
I started working on this one in January (I think), not long after I shared my "Where We Used to Be" performance, and been slowly learning/practicing it while also making progress through my regular classical piano books. I took a break from it at some point too which is why it took so long, but I eventually picked it back up and finished it!
I'm extremely proud of my piano progress as a self-taught pianist. I have now been playing piano for three and a half years and I'm so happy to be able to choose a piece of music and learn it. "Desolation" surely was above my level but I found that, with enough practice, taking it slowly one part at a time, I was able to eventually play it.
The way I've been approaching learning piano is... I like working on two pieces at once. One from the course books I follow which will usually take me a week or two to learn and play, and a second piece that's above my level of comfort that'll take me a few months to master. That way, I always feel like I'm making progress advancing through the books while also pushing myself playing harder pieces. It's been working super well for me.
I hope you'll enjoy!
See you next time!

“Jin, what a splendid soul you were...”

[@gabocarina96]

I freaking love this game so much...

[@sailiealquadacil1284]

Dat thumbnail, though =(
All the feels. Beautiful cover.

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! 😌

[@NyrocOomara]

I just love how both this song and Walking With You use some of the same notes and patterns! For the longest time, I always though Desolation was a piano version of the later, but they both are unique! This was a beautiful cover!

[@art2norrman872]

I still get chills from this song

[@gabocarina96]

Oh same here... 🥲

[@unraged6004]

Probably my favorite song from the game

[@Divergent._.]

"Counterattack" and " those who stand against in our path" along whit this are my favorites

[@TeraCMusic]

Gab, you did it again 😭💜 This is absolutely gorgeous!! I love seeing how much you have improved with the piano! Please keep treating us to these piano solo covers when you can, I will never get tired of them!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks so much Tera!! 🥲 Whole pieces like this one still take me a long time to learn/practice but I'll definitely keep uploading them as they're ready!

[@Consolous]

You've improved a lot in your piano playing, great job man

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks a lot!! Im glad you think so! 😌

[@Mohmega]

I haven't gotten to see your piano skills showcased like this, beautiful playing man!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks a lot dude!! 😄 I started playing 3 years ago and been practicing a lot since!

[@Sean081799]

Hell yeah man! This sounds beautiful, awesome playing!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks Sean!! 🥲

[@javierramos6729]

You know it's an outstanding cover when you haven't even played the game and the song makes you feel something 🥹🫶🏻

[@Hitman_7128]

It's cool to see you still cover XC2 music, since I think it was your Driver Vs video from a long time ago that initially brought me to this channel and urged me to sub

[@gabocarina96]

Woah... That one feels like a long time ago now! :'D

[@Pwnsweet]

your videos make my days better. thank you

[@gabocarina96]

And thank you for watching them! :'D

[@Wonderfish]

Beautiful cover, I was getting chills just listening to it

[@maccross4567]

Man I wish I could like a video twice, I love this song and you did such a beautiful job with it

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!!! 😌

[@silberbullet]

What a banger again.
I love the piano :3
Very well done, you are so good!

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! 😌

[@Kaesemuchacho]

Rip Vandham 🙏 😢
This game is a pure masterpiece 🙏

[@JoeMama-sl8ux]

I will forever love the gentle intricacy of the harmony on the second half of the song, absolutely gorgeous playing and a wonderful treat to see more of your covers. :)

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! :'D

[@percussiveseer415]

Beautiful rendition! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! :')

[@Divergent._.]

Hermosa canción. Me trae mucha nostalgia ❤

[@ehohadid4336]

¡ Qué hermosura de canción ❤
Literal me iso llorar, me recordó exactamente los sentimientos 😭
Que viví jugando en Xenoblade 2, y sus escenas.
El Amor, la tristeza, El vacío que se siente cuando se viven esas historias.
Que son muchas en un solo juego. ❤🎉
Ese piano que Gabo Interpretó estuvo Igual que el de la canción. 😊
Y lo que me parece un poco extraño es que hace menos de 2 minutos estaba escuchando soul, y de inmediato ví este vídeo.
Perdonen el Nombre de Driflinth es que todavía se me pasan algunas letras de ése maravilloso Nombre ❤🎉😊.

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! 😌

[@zzigzag286]

wonderful cover!

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! :'D

[@NinjaGuyVR]

Why do I not remember this song from the game, it's beautiful 😭

[@zzigzag286]

time to replay then!

[@matthewmoore2521]

It plays in some of the more emotional and hard hitting scenes

[@danielostrowski856]

If this song is playing (or the orchestral version, Walking with You) it probably means that someone has just died or is about to die

[@Divergent._.]

Jin's death and other moments

[@mayronmartinez5387]

Solo quedan las ganas de llorar. Excelente cover Gabo!!

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!!

[@HighZ]

A nice emotional piece. Well played!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks man! 😌

[@derpious267]

Ah Xenoblade 2 music never fails to hurt me

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

Just beautiful man, makes me want to get back into making more solo piano content :)

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks so much!! You should!! 👀

[@arthurgadytibayan1411]

It feels like lullaby for me, Gab. But hey, first time supporting you on Patreon, though. One day, I might be able to request any video game for you using your Patreon page. 😊

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks for supporting!! 😄

[@pedrobeckup456]

If it is hard to us to suport the scenes where this song is played, imagine how it is to those who where there... Mythra... Lora... Mikhail...

[@andreiulyanov9241]

Wonderful!

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Vyz3r]

so good 😭

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you!! :'D

[@Zachruff]

Peak alert 🚨

[@EoleLeVeilleur]

From the very first note, memories sure came flooding back...
Xenoblade 2 is a hard game to love for its many flaws, but it is even harder to hate. These moments are easily among the best. It sure gives the "Milton" cidrerie in Québec a whole new layer for me, moreso their "Dry" apple cidre... Cause my eyes never stay dry with this track. :'))
Thank you for giving it justice.

[@gabocarina96]

I'm glad you enjoyed my performance! Thank you! 😊

[@desplanchesstevan1418]

I like to think that Xenoblade 2 has the biggest lows of the trilogy, but also the biggest highs, and personnally, I think the highs greatly outshines the lows.

[@atticusfinch6038]

Is this worth playing? Love the song btw

[@yujirorasy]

I know nothing about music but timing some of the parts a bit weird or just me. Still amazing though. I really like how full the sound is.

[@gabocarina96]

@@yujirorasy Look up the meaning of “rubato” in music.

[@j.gubler950]

Do you have sheet music for sale somewhere?

[@gabocarina96]

As mentionned at the end of the description, I got the sheet music on NinSheetMusic. (it’s free) 😊
