  • I didn't realize until the day of that earlier this week marked 13 years of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, which was one of the games that were part of my childhood that I really enjoyed and one of my favorite #Pokemon games. I've been making quite a few arrangements over the past month, but have been stuck in the mindset of "this arrangement is not good enough to post," so I decided to make a arrangement where I only spend a couple hours on the arrangement and post whatever happens (I did the audio within about 3 hours or so). This song has been stuck in my head since finding out about the anniversary of PMD: Explorers of Sky, as well as listening to an older arrangement of this track that I did with Jordan Moore - • I Don't Want to Say Go... . I hope you all enjoy this #Ocarina cover of I Don't Want To Say Goodbye from #PokemonMysteryDungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky!

    Saying hello for the first time and goodbye for the last are the two hardest things to do in life

    wow this was a really out of left field recommendation from youtube
    whenever someone asks me what my favorite instrument is, i always say ocarina. i was properly introduced to the instrument through majora's mask [not ocarina of time, funnily enough] and the game had such a heavy focus on death/departure and the acceptance of it. i remember several years ago, before my grandfather died, i played the song of healing for him. on one hand it was a silly little thing i did for the slight hope that maybe it'd make something happen, on the other it was because i knew i was going to have to say goodbye to him. if i had to do that, i might as well play a song meant for easing the souls of people that are passing or have passed.
    PMD2 had a similar theme of accepting final goodbyes, but it was nowhere near as bitter and definite. it was never a sense of finality. but even then, every time i hear this song, it provokes something within me. music in and of itself is something that's always managed to make me feel all sorts of emotions, it always jogs memories of things i wouldn't recall otherwise.
    hearing this, it really hurt. it's a good kind of hurt.

      @wrigthtalekenavi2066 Před 8 měsíci

      ya.. Majora's Mask is acceptance of death. this game... its practically screaming the painful truth that is death. in the final scene, you won. but both you and your character knows that because you stopped Dialga's transformation, you would stop existing due to you being from that erased universe. you dont want to say goodbye. but your time has come; Like it or not you will get Paradox'ed.

    I am 25 years old and currently very busy writing my master thesis in engineering. By pure chance I found this video 5 minutes ago and now, after 14 years, I've re-downloaded Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of Time. I will play all night. I need emotions, not a degree.

    Everyone in this comment section just got the perfect recommendation at the right time it seems. I've never seen this channel before, and I don't remember the last time I saw an Ocarina cover. But earlier today I decided to go back and listen to some Mystery Dungeon music and of course, this song came on.
    I'm glad CZcams hit me with this recommendation, this cover is beautiful!

    hello, yes, i absolutely *would* like to sob my fucking lungs out. i play ocarina as well, though not to the level of professionalism that you're producing at and ocarina covers of songs are relatively rare, so your instrument of choice is an extra kick to the chest. i love it and am subscribing immediately.
