+Khalid Osman I was gonna type something like this except my version was: "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of this piece."
Probably the best character theme in the Star Wars franchise. Though I loved how haunting the snippets of the Imperial March were in Anakin's theme. But this...the music box melody is like a memory of a lonely childhood. And the potential is palpable in every note. I can't wait to see more of Rey in the new movies. EDIT (5/2020): Wow, so full of hope and trust in Disney. They decimated her character.
+Pearl of a Girl Nursery It is my new favourite theme out of all the Star Wars films! Once I heard the first dew notes in theatres, I knew it would be my favourite! I'm also very excited to see more of Rey in the other films.
+Chelsea Comeau I'm learning how to play it too but I don't quite have your ear! At least with an entire orchestra. I've loved taking inspiration from this video to play something that's just a bit more than the notes on my sheet music!
Rey's theme and the rest of the original Force Awakens score was subtle but equally as powerful as any of John Williams' previous work. Sometimes we don't need the "in-your-face" music to capture the moment. As always John Williams understood that and delivered, to me anyways, yet another masterpiece of cinematic music.
I literally cried listening to this. I love John Williams. I love The Force Awakens. I love Rey. Gosh I love YOU! :D I wish I could put into words how emotional this theme makes me feel.
Ilkka Pättikangas I loved Rey in this film! It's definitely going to be her story throughout the next couple films. I also loved BB8 :D! All the new characters were pretty awesome for me but Rey is the new favourite!
Chelsea Comeau Me too! Rey is just absolutely great and Daisy Ridley really brings the character to life. Can't wait to see what awaits her in the future, I hope she becomes the ultimate Jedi :D I must say I really enjoyed the chemistry between Daisy and John, the interaction between Finn and Rey just seems so natural. And who could not love BB-8??? :D He's absolutely adorable.
WHY AM I GETTING NOSTALGIC FOR A MOVIE THAT CAME OUT LESS THAN A MONTH AGO?! But in all seriousness, THAT is how amazing you did! Less than a month! XD amazing!
I love that John Williams actually used the piano for Rey's theme in parts of the movie. It's a new tone color to the Star Wars soundtracks, and I thought it fit her character perfectly.
+Nick Donofrio musicnotes.com has the digital sheet music for $5.50. And it says it's 5 pages long. I haven't bought it yet. (Mainly because I'm hoping it sounds like cover and I don't know if it will.) :)
As with all other musical (themes) interpretations you've so unselfishly and artistically shared with the world, this one also brings me to a state of mind that is hard to describe; it's a mix of pleasurable experiences to the ears. mind and soul, all wrapped into a soft package. Thank you
The second I heard this in the film I loved it! It's so different from his other themes but still fits in the world of Star Wars! I think this is my favourite theme out of all of them.
Henry Jones Jr. I picked out this theme right away and was very much looking forward to hearing it again in the end credits. I was amazed how people were complaining that there was nothing new in the score. Are you kidding me? And yeah, you're right. Now everyone knows this theme as if it wasn't always right there from the beginning. Open your ears, people.
People dislike what isn't instantly familiar. Because the score was 85% new music, it was dismissed for not being recognizable enough as Star Wars music. I have come to love the score, and cannot wait to see where Williams takes it and adds to it with 8.
This is the greatest cover of any song I've seen on the Internet, I can't believe you learnt this by ear, I come back to this video all the time even 5 years later, thankyou for putting the time in to make this it has brought joy into my life, I hope this message reaches you
Wow, amazing job. I absolutely love Rey's Theme. It's most definitely the stand out piece from the new film score. Again, well done. You are clearly very talented, keep up the good work.
This is played with a full orchestra on the soundtrack, but the way you play it makes it sound as though it was written for piano. I can't get enough of this.
+Hunter Parker Well a lot of a film composers write stuff on piano and then arrange it for orchestra, so it's entirely possible Williams did indeed compose this on piano first.
ive watched most of videos covering rey's theme by piano, by far, this is the greatest one!!thanks for such a lovely pian cover!!i can feel how lonely rey's is...ive got goosebumps just by listening your cover...
This makes me so happy and is honestly calming with all the stress thats been going on with me. Rey's theme is such a wonderful and beautiful song. Thank you for this. :) Wonderful job.
I have just recently got back into playing piano and hearing things like this really inspires me to push through and keep trying to build my skills again. Thanks, it's beautiful.
Beautiful cover, congrats for doing it :) Glad to see you were one of the few that realized as soon as the film was premiered that Rey's theme was a huge theme !
This melody and "Jedi Steps" are the most memorable parts, musically, to come from the newer films. And you did both Williams & Rey justice here! Well done! :)
my goodness thank you for this beautifully well put video! I'm in love with Rey's theme and your cover is just as vexing as the original! Great job seriously!!! now time for me to watch your other star wars covers!
Dear Chelsea , is very moving part , no doubt you have Star Wars is that its soundtrack inspires, makes us travel , and with the arrival of Episode VII and theme of Rey definitely will stay as one of the greats the saga ... thanks for sharing your talent and music , inspires me to touch her piano at home ... and keep your videos with great attention . Greetings from Chile , Patrick.
Easily the best rendition around. Not even close. Thanks for uploading! :)
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of this piano.

+Khalid Osman Thank you for this wonderful comment!
+Khalid Osman I was gonna type something like this except my version was:
"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of this piece."
All sorts of late, but
"Its power to stir emotions has certainly been confirmed."

+Pearl of a Girl Nursery If you listen carefully to Rey's theme, there's tiny snippets of the Imperial March in there as well :)
+Pearl of a Girl Nursery You've summed it up very nicely there. Beautiful theme.
+Pearl of a Girl Nursery Took the words right out of my mouth, though perhaps with better eloquence and imagery than i would have coughed up.
+Chelsea Comeau I'm learning how to play it too but I don't quite have your ear! At least with an entire orchestra. I've loved taking inspiration from this video to play something that's just a bit more than the notes on my sheet music!
Easily the best cover of this music on the net. The fact that you learnt this by ear is even more remarkable!
Thanks so much :)!
This is amazingly beautiful. Rey's Theme is my new favourite Star Wars song, and you made it even more special. Thank you for this!
+Arthur Numeriano tie fighter attack has a special place in my heart
The Jedi Steps is pretty great too.
The Force Theme is and will be the best ever
The force is strong with this one!
This music is perfect for rainy days.
Rey's theme and the rest of the original Force Awakens score was subtle but equally as powerful as any of John Williams' previous work. Sometimes we don't need the "in-your-face" music to capture the moment. As always John Williams understood that and delivered, to me anyways, yet another masterpiece of cinematic music.
The entire Return of the Jedi soundtrack was subtle, and it was also a masterpiece :)
I thought your dp was an eyelash and I tried to swipe it off my screen
I literally cried listening to this. I love John Williams. I love The Force Awakens. I love Rey. Gosh I love YOU! :D I wish I could put into words how emotional this theme makes me feel.
+Ilkka Pättikangas This theme is my favourite theme out off all of them. John Williams did an amazing job with this score!
Definitely :) Who was your favorite character in the new film?
Ilkka Pättikangas I loved Rey in this film! It's definitely going to be her story throughout the next couple films. I also loved BB8 :D! All the new characters were pretty awesome for me but Rey is the new favourite!

I KNOW

+Kevin Lastname she did in in 3 days, i think
Kevin Auditore y
Jude Gorman It’s been three years now and I’m already getting nostalgic
Your version of Rey's theme is darker than John Williams', makes Rey's future story line more uncertain and danger, and that's very beautiful.
Hi, I am from the future and I am really sorry to tell you but Rey's story is awful.
Yeah the only danger she was in was that of bad storytelling
This comment aged so well
I listen to this about 4-10 times a week to revive my peace and to escape from this violent world. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Very nice!!! Me too!!!!!
The piano is strong in this one
bruh
I love that John Williams actually used the piano for Rey's theme in parts of the movie. It's a new tone color to the Star Wars soundtracks, and I thought it fit her character perfectly.
Best rendition I've seen as of yet! Very nice.
+HoustonProductions1 Thank you :)!
+Chelsea Comeau Do you know where I can get music sheets for this theme?
+Nick Donofrio musicnotes.com has the digital sheet music for $5.50. And it says it's 5 pages long. I haven't bought it yet. (Mainly because I'm hoping it sounds like cover and I don't know if it will.) :)
+Nick Donofrio musescore.com has one

THIS is the cover I've been looking for all these years.
To create new music, that sounds unlike anything before it.....what a thing of beauty.
Best piano cover I've seen and heard on UA-cam so far. It has the strong expression and dynamic as the original song.
im back because this piece never gets old
this one of my favourite scherzo in the whole franchise. thank you for playing it this beautifully.
I remember when TFA was released, people were saying how bad the soundtrack was compared to the other Star Wars films. Now, people love this theme!
The second I heard this in the film I loved it! It's so different from his other themes but still fits in the world of Star Wars! I think this is my favourite theme out of all of them.

The best piano rendition of Rey's Theme on youtube.
You are sooooo good at this. Thank you for making this I listen to it everytime I have my mood swings :( Rey is such a brave girl
I've listened to this amazing piece for the better part of an hour on repeat. Thank you!
Rey is so AWESOME and the music is so PEACEFUL.
Beautiful,just beautiful. The only person who did not let us down was John Williams.
It is THE BEST thing I have ever heard. I can't tell you how good that music is.
This is simply incredible. The best theme from the new Star Wars movie by far. So melodic and beautiful.
This is the greatest cover of any song I've seen on the Internet, I can't believe you learnt this by ear, I come back to this video all the time even 5 years later, thankyou for putting the time in to make this it has brought joy into my life, I hope this message reaches you

This makes me so happy and is honestly calming with all the stress thats been going on with me. Rey's theme is such a wonderful and beautiful song. Thank you for this. :) Wonderful job.
Astonishing! Probably the best piano cover in YT right now. Congratulations, Chelsea!
I have just recently got back into playing piano and hearing things like this really inspires me to push through and keep trying to build my skills again. Thanks, it's beautiful.
+Sasha Caryll thank you for the lovely comment!! It means a lot hearing that :)!
Beautiful cover, congrats for doing it :) Glad to see you were one of the few that realized as soon as the film was premiered that Rey's theme was a huge theme !

+TheHighlightsShow Thank you so much :)!
oh my goodness, this made me tear up. I adore Rey's Theme and this is the most beautiful rendition I've seen yet...you are incredible!
This interpretation is better than any version that I have seen published as sheet music for the piano. Congratulations on a remarkable achievement.
Thank you!!
By far the bes cover I've seen, too bad you don't have the sheets. Learning by ear has never really been my thing, so I always find it so impressive
Thanks so much :)!
This is beautiful!!! Can I use this as backgroundmusic for a Star Wars Stop Motion Video? I would put your name in the description!
+BrickMove sure go ahead!
Chelsea Comeau Thank you
drive.google.com/file/d/0B10Cq3thcdu-MDdXUFFJR1M5V1E/view not her version, but fairly similar sheet music
Wow...Chelsea, this is so great. I loved Rey's Theme the first time I saw the film and you nailed it!
WOW! Just WOW! You got tears from my eyes! So beautifully played, and such a great, perfect transcription!
i love her theme so much... in my opinion its the best one so far
I'm amazed by this version. Absolutely brilliant cover of the best track on the force awakens soundtrack
That was wonderful Chelsea. Thank you from an old Star Wars fan.
This melody and "Jedi Steps" are the most memorable parts, musically, to come from the newer films. And you did both Williams & Rey justice here! Well done! :)
I'm not okay with how good this is.
You deserve a lot more views. Such a talent and so much emotion in your performance.
Rey's theme is my favorite track from star wars and you made it better
