Thank you so much. Back in the days, we never imagined these kinds of videos would go so far!!! I'm glad you still appreciate it. It means the world to me to be able to share this so many years later. Take care.
@@AndrewCockerillPhotography @alanp9416 Thank you guys. Never thought for a second that this would go this far. I'm glad you found it and it brought you some comfort over the years. It is an honour this cover is still part of your lives after so many years. You both take care.
I only discovered Andy mckee's incredible music and guitar style yesterday, your adapted version on the piano has inspired me to pick up my own raw talent for the piano after 10 years of neglect. I can't thank you enough for this inspiration to pick up my musical life once more. never stop what you are doing freddh2 your playing is overwhelming and beautiful, and andy's music compliments your style.
Been listening to McKee play this on here since 2006ish. Even watched covers of the song by different people... And now, 12 years after you uploaded it, UA-cam's algorythm catches up. Which is sad, cos this is probably the best version I've ever heard of Rylynn. You deserve a 12 year pat on the back!
Well, thanks for reminding me how old this is!!! :D Geese, 12 years, I can hardly believe it myself. And I'm forever happy that people like you can still enjoy this so long after I originally posted it. Thank you very much for the praise - I am humbled by the original author's genius and by all the positive feedback I have received over the years with this version. Andy has inspired so many people, it's an honour to be part of his musical heritage. I wish I had time to start posting again. Many many thanks for taking the time to write a nice word. Take care.
I have been watching Andy McKee videos for a long time. I must say that this video is an amazing adaptation of one of his most beautiful melodies. Your time spent was well worth it. Great job.
very nice to see u answering so many comments m8.tnx for ur apretiation.Ive been listening to this melody a Lot now.And i have to add..Its like u really can feel the sorrow and frustration of that girl dying(can make the a tough man cry) ..and in the end its like u feel shes moving on to something better like she float into the endless stream of her souls energy.Magic!May she rest in peace..
I'm speechless... until now I hadn't even thought that Rylynn could be played on the piano. Now I think it's best cover I've ever heard. All I can say is 'thank you', but that's not enough. I wish you all the best :)
This is a phenomenal cover of a great piece! I wonder what it’s like to watch yourself back 14 years ago playing something this magical, such a different time back then… very reflective I would imagine
It is! Plus depending on your mood, music brings you the energy or quiet that you need or feel. I guess I was in need of peace and introspection at the time! lol Who would have guessed UA-cam who go so far and our videos would still be here after all these years? That's pretty nice, to be honest. Thanks for being here and connecting!
theres a few different versions of this song out, on both guitar and piano. this is without a doubt my favorite piano version, second only to the original guitar. you took this song to a whole new level, using some tricks that only a piano can pull off, making an extraordinary piece of music. you've done McKee proud.
Almost 13 years later we can say: this stood the test of time and it is the most beautiful cover I have seen for this song. It sounds as though it was originally written for piano. Great adaptation and performance. Love from Brazil!
Thanks you so much. I never thought it would go this far when I decided to record it. I am extremely happy that people still enjoy listening to this for time to time. Love from France!
Honestly, from one keyboard player to another, I commend you on such a beautiful transcription along with keeping the same feel to the original as stated. You only made the emotional factor stronger in your arrangement. Nice job!
totally awesome gives me goosebumps.. i have listened to the orginal a few hundred times in these past years and this is even more powerful! Great Job man i wish i had the piano skills to perform this!
not often a piece of music moves me to any depth but you have taken Andy's tune and taken it to a level that touches the heart. Thank you for the effort put into producing this work :)
It is brave to attempt to cover anything by such a talented artist on a guitar, let alone a piano. What you have achieved here is nothing short of remarkable. A true pleasure to listen to. Thank you
you really did a great job with this cover. i was a bit skeptical at fist because i didnt think you could adapt the harmonics just right, but i love what you did wiht the song. you kept the spirit of the original, while still making it your own. keep up the good work!
I'm a big fan of Andy's, but it seems I fail at seeing video responses when I turn on his stuff to run in the background. I noticed this video and my initial thought was, "Oh man, this has so much potential!! I hope it's good!" ...And I was not disappointed by coming here. WONDERFUL adaptation, and the performance rivals the original. Thank you.
Alors... la vous avez recue une interpretation que, si magnifique, je ne pourrais pas me la imaginer! ...puis que en generale, c'est vraiment dure de resuire aux niveaux de l'originale, vous y etes exactement! Bravo!
I used to not like your version of the ending at all. But the more I listen to it the more i like it. It turns out it really fits. You played it really clean and makes a huge difference. Thanks
Dude your scary good... You played it sooooo clean. Very emotional song and sometimes those are hard to play at the right speed and what not. Your amazing keep up the great work .
Man........ you nailed the song and its emotion. Andy is to be proud of you for sure if he sees this. I really like the way you played it. So emotional and there are lots of souls. Wish you all the best, man. Thanks for uploading this, it made my day. I mean it.
Well you got that right :) there are many covers of any songs on UA-cam, but those unique ones that are done differently to the instrument's (and yours) advantage is what makes someone shine ;) And i notice the guitars too, so I'm guessing you're quite versatile :D Keep up the good work.
amazing man, just amazing. I'm a guitarist that plays and listens to metal but I can't deny the fact that this is a beautiful masterpiece. Its very emotional, inspiring and I think anyone regardless of his music taste will enjoy this. I salute you 5/5 5/5
Wow that was amazing, the feeling that you gave the song differs the song from the original and it feels as if it is another piece altogether even though it has the same rhythem. kudos to you for such a great video.
I listen to this recording of Rylynn often, it's very relaxing, and quite pleasing to the ear. I must say, it's excellent. Thank you for taking the time to play such a wonderful piece so beautifully, it's amazing.
I was scared to listen at first, a lot of music doesn't translate well from one instrument to another. I'm truly impressed by this composition. Even with your modifications to the song, it was done far better than I could have imagined. Thank you for this
Really nice mate. You kept it true to the original which is always a plus. It works well with the piano, nice bit of creativity. I'm no music buff so I can't go into the technicalities but I can tell you that it sounds incredible. Keep it up
captured the power of Andy's version very well, and considering how powerful he makes the song that is saying a lot. Very well done and thank you for sharing.
Wow!! I am a gutarist but I can honestly say I think this song or your interpation of it anyway sounds better on the keyboard. Simply beautiful! It would make Liz Story cry!
You play it so skilfully and passionately that, if I did not know Andy's version, I'd guess you composed this incredible piece of music on the piano. Thank you for sharing it!
i like how you changed camera angle.. made it more interesting to watch.. but to be honest i had my eyes closed, this is such a beautiful piece.. and i'm currently learning it by ear too. i'd love to hear more :) xx
This is insanely amazing. God bless musicians like you sir I hope there will always be. Much soul has been put in there, I think it shows pretty much how you love this song.
@@ColdFusion Rylynn is one of my favorite tunes. I was searching for this piano cover because of nostalgia. I watched it like 11-12 years ago when I was in elementary school.
I did not believe that it was possible to play my favorite song on a piano, with so much spirit! really great adaption, especially the ending melody, it makes me think of angels. Andy will be proud if he sees this, and so will rylynn!
this is just brilliant. when i was listening to the original i thought that it can just sound that good on the guitar. but i was totally wrong. this piano version is really really nice. 5 stars!
Man you are truly amazing. I loved this song when it was only played on the guitar, but now that I have heard it on the piano, I've come to love this song even more. Thank you.
Wow. You did a fantastic job here. The performance has so much emotion. This is one of my favorite acoustic guitar compositions, but solo piano is actually my favorite kind of music, and you really made this piece sing.
It would not be out of place for you to one day play a song with Andy himself. this if fantastic. The way you play... its like i cant describe the sound of it. With Andy's writing, and they way you translated it... I think that it sounds so nice that even the saddest OR happiest movie could never use it... because its TOO sad, and too HAPPY at the same time! I don't know. Rylynn is my favorite song of all time for sure. I am glad you took the time to learn it. thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic song played so wonderfully well on the piano. At this moment I'm enjoying playing the fretless bass with it just like Michael Manring did on the 'Don Ross Live in Toronto' DVD. This is fun! :D
Wow! Amazing! The piano definitely gives the song a more sombre and sad feel. A homage to the original yet made it your own at the same time. Stunning!
When I listen to Andy McKee playing Rylynn, I cant keep my tears in. And When listening to you playing it on piano in your own way I cant stop crying.. I cant really think of any better Compliment than that.
Listening to this tune since 2008. It never gets old. Your cover is just amazing.
Thank you so much. Back in the days, we never imagined these kinds of videos would go so far!!! I'm glad you still appreciate it. It means the world to me to be able to share this so many years later. Take care.
Almost 9 years after and still in love with this.
That's so sweet. I can't believe it's been that long!
Wow. I am always surprised to see how much people loved this cover. :)
Hello, it's 2018 now and I'm still watching this :)
16 years later. I listen to this cover when I have a hard time and need to get out of a depressive funk. Thanks so much for putting this out
Same here. Just checked back for the first time in a while and all these years later its still phenomenal!

@@freddh2 we need a 2023 version of this in better quality. Your arrangement is so beautiful.
I just keep coming back to this video
Thank you a zillion times!

@@gregorybainathsah7284 No promises, but I'll see what I can do. ;)

Wow. I'm honoured by your comment. Thank you so much. I did my best to transcript a feeling rather than just a series of notes. Maybe that's why ;)
Absolutely phenomenal. I never thought this piece could sound even more beautiful. This version really hits ya. Great job
impossible to fault.
beautifully played, a delight to listen to
this is by far the best andy mckee cover/adaptation around

5/5!! just terrific! i just want to know how long it took you to create a kb version. and it has been transposed right?

thankyou,i feel a story eachtime i listen,some sad some happy,i shut my eyes an im in a different world everytime,thankyou
No words need to be spoken. You know you are a genius. Played most beautifly I might add.
beautifully done, its one of my favorite acoustic songs, and you did it very well.
Awesome. I can feel your warm heart. Thank you.
That was just epic.Andy Mckee would be very proud of you.

Beautiful version. I love it.

Wow. You did a fantastic job here. The performance has so much emotion. This is one of my favorite acoustic guitar compositions, but solo piano is actually my favorite kind of music, and you really made this piece sing.
Be very proud, awesome. Definitely complimented the original. It's just so chilled this tune, could melt into my seat with a fat grin on my face.
That was so beautiful :) You definitely did the song justice.
AMAZING!!!!!! OMG, u r so talented, the melody of rylynn sound so sweet in your hands...
i think it is as good as andy mckee version.
keep it up man!
I love both piano and guitar! Your cover is awesome! I like this song really. So beautiful and gives me hope! Thanks!
