I replied on this
Is there a lyrics for this?
Can I remix this
Hey, I’m an aspiring songwriter, and I was wondering if I could use this track for an original that I have in mind?
Me:*sees this comment*
Me: Spotify, here we come.
Only the "1%" who didn't cry can like this comment
Only 2? Hahahaha I became sad so I won't like your comment
What if you got really sad but didn’t cry...?

blackdiamond 0075 same i forgot the Emotion of crying because i got fight so many times that i don’t even feel the pain anymore i was for this 1 year in the hospital and yeah :/
This song is legitimately really beautiful though
Seriously, how are you everywhere on youtube??
It's beautiful yes but I see in no way why the title says it's sad it's not sad to Me at all
@@gabelove6690 put on captions
Bruh ur everywhere
@@The_Addie oh thx😅
At the beginning i thought It'd be the first ever lionel piece i could play, then left hand arpeggios comes in and all hope is lost xD
Aww Same xD
You don't need to play the arpeggio's.
You can make it easier to your skilllevel :)
Guess you have to get good... I can relate though his pieces are insane. Would take me months maybe years depending on the piece. Will always keep trying tho feels great to reach such a goal :)
At least you can play the beginning
They aren't this hard here
I expected a musical piece, but I was actually reading a story
I'm not disappointed
Grace Thewolf why are you so angry at everyone in the comment section who supports this guy? if y o u don’t like it you can just move on. you don’t have to force everyone else to have the same taste in music as you. either that or you’re angry because you feel like you’re more talented and people are supporting this guy, in which case MOVE ON. literally no one gives a shit about your negative opinions of this guy if you’re not willing to critique and instead just leaving hate
Grace Thewolf I understand if you don’t like it, we all have our own opinions. But it’s really rude and unnecessary to throw hate on this person and his fans. I, for one, am a huge fan of him, just saying. Please keep hateful thoughts to yourself when it is unneeded to do so. I feel like this guy is amazing at what he does, and you can think otherwise. *C h i l l*
Have a cookie 🍪 UwU
@@theletterh8176 what did they say?
addie theGr8 something like “i’m disappointed in you for liking this”
Damn. That f*cked me up.
My best friend (of 12 years) and fiance (8 months) went from "let's elope" to "I think we should be friends" to "I'm with someone else" in the span of 2-3 weeks. So I feel this piece very strongly. It was a year ago and they are married now, but I'm much better off cuz now I see all the ways she was toxic to me. But damn that still hit where it hurt.
I’m so sorry 😢
I am sorry your heart was broken.
I’m sorry :C But judging from the way she acted, your probably better off without her. Move on! I’m sure your definitely going to find someone perfect for you ^^
:(
That sounds hard, but who would legit do that thats messed up, smh.
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I'm doing fine most days. Life is too short to keep questioning "why?". Me and her exchange a couple messages every few months, though its not the same. (Huge "Someone I used to know" - Gotye vibes lol). I lost my best friend, but I wish her the best. I've used the heartbreak productively to better my life over the past year.
The ending is really touching. Left on a note that doesn't leave the song finished and fully satisfying. It perfectly resembles the feelings you are trying to show from this piece. Looking forward to a future that never came. Looking forward to a life that you were sure was going to come, but it never did.
What Could've Been
Truly a masterpiece
This statement here, has just left me: Astonished, I listen to the music and I just cant see how one can think of this its truly beautiful and when the end comes I think what you said, and it came this piece so much meaning!
This makes my heart break... im thinking of my future, it makes me wanna cry i dont know why, my lover and i are in ldr and we met online in the most coincidental way, im thinking of what if we never meet, if one of us passes, i just want ro cry

My condolences.
I'm so sorry for your loss, may his spirit rest in peace
Sorry for that
I'm sorry

Your not the only one LoL 😂

I said no such thing.
I do this all the time😂

10 seconds would be impressive tbh
Turn on Captions for a hauntingly beautiful story! What do you think about it?
It's absolutely beautiful
I think it has something to do with all the love and sad song you've created, mysterious yet beautiful.
Very moving piece. Luckly this has never happenend to me (but I'm in middle school).
I cried and the captions werent even on
good
This song hit hard. And I can’t even relate to the story behind it. It’s just a pure masterpiece
Here’s the captions for people who might not be able to access them:
I remember we found this place, it felt like home. It was going to be where we started our life together. The life we dreamed about for years. It was built to last forever but fell down in a day. Like a tsunami, our world was ripped apart. The broken pieces of it surround us. The white dress in the wardrobe will never see the church. The vows we wrote will never be said aloud. The things you’re saying to me now, each word shatters my entire soul. How you let me down again and again. We could have been amazing some you think? When we first met being with you was the easiest thing in the world. And being without you feels like the worst thing that could ever happen. Whenever we were parted, you stayed with me in my every thought. The world was a better place because I knew you were in it. Do you remember when we looked at the globe and plotted our dreams on it? Wherever we went, it didn’t matter, as long as we were together. But, was this the destination of had in mind? Physically we’re together, but mentally we are worlds apart. You know, I gave everything I had. I was willing to do anything for you. All the years of my life I sacrificed, my friend, my career. You were going to change the world, turn it upside down, you told me. But the only world you turned upside down was mine. We even had names fro our children. You would name the son, I would name the daughter and we would talk for days about whose eyes they would have, the shape of their nose and feet. Those fantasies...feel like a distant memory now. This house feels like a prison. In front of me I see only shadows where out imaginary children used to stand. I can hear them laughing, yelling, giggling. I can see the silhouette of our dream selves, growing old together. Do you have a similar image in your mind? Or is she all you see now? Now when I think of my life, I can’t see past today. The person I thought I was had died. A ghost of who she could have been haunts me. But I’ll admit, you made me happy. And I could tell you loved me with all your heart, despite all your mistakes. Will you feel the same about me? Was I good to you? I like to think I was. I’ll still sing to you every night in my dreams. It’s the only joy I have left. I wonder if you realise this really is the end. You look so strange to me now. “Have I got everything?” You ask me when your car boot’s shut. I nod,thinking how could it be possible for you to take more? You drive away, on a road straight to her. I’ve no idea where I’m headed. The things I thought were close are further than they’ve ever been, the person I thought I’d share them with has vanished. What our lives could be been like...we’ll never know. Goodbye my prince.
This synced so perfect with the piece as I read it....... thank you..❤️💔
3:48 sounds like you are trying to laugh off the memories 😭😭 amazing piece all the way through
That's a great way of putting it. It's a sad kind of laugh
I know no one will see this, especially Lionel, in this tiny corner of the comment section, but I simply wanted to state how grateful I am for you and your channel. You got me into composing and I love watching every one of your videos. Keep up the great work, and again thank you!
Oop well he found it
Lol i guess
Your stories/pieces never disappoint Lionel.
They’re usually tragic and powerful. My past favorite was the Canon in D (piano solo) it was a nice story with a background story of you which I soon noticed.
I really like these stories especially this one which says how the couples lives would have been if they hadn’t broken up and their heartbreak.
Keep up the good work Lionel!
Once again, Prodigy, you have captivated us with your hauntingly beautiful and mournful musical creations. Every time I get to see a new video from this channel, I could like the video without watching a second of it, already knowing it will reach for my soul and speak to me things words cannot tell me, for my heart does not have ears to listen with, but it can hear and feels just as much as my soul, for the two are intertwined. So, to end this little thing, I am so glad you did not give up on your dreams and aspirations, Prodigy Leonel. God bless you and never forget that He gave you this gift. Legendario Soul signing out!
I assure you that every time you post an original creation of yours, I adopt it as the unsung theme for my feelings.
Thank you Legendario, ill never forget, youve been listening to my music for over a decade now!
This is very long but very short to express ur feelings

I love 0:30 because it’s where all the how do I say, the emotions come into place
I swear with every cover you do it looks like you end up playing all 88 keys
@@peppa..xp1g656 yes they might play out of scale by doing 88 keys which will sound stupid but theres no such thing as a piece range of keys to be good
@@peppa..xp1g656 also if show offs did 88 keys it will sound terrible
@Dope Hope no, it's just that if somebody were to play a song on an 88 key piano that hits all 88 keys, unless it is very long, it would be obvious they are trying to show off, and would just sound off.
@Dope Hope what did Grace Thewopr say?
Not gonna lie, it's like the stages of grief
YYYEEEEESSSSS IV BEEN WANTING TO HEAR THIS FINSHED YAYYY
man.. who broke this dudes heart ;-; its a beautiful piece with so much emotion. i wish i was as good as you to get my feelings and everything inside out on music sheets. you're doing amazing, keep up the good work.
This melody is absolutely gorgeous. It holds an incomparable beauty, but also an underlying sadness. You capitalize so well on the extreme verity of emotions that this melody can give. That requires both skill, and an intense emotional connection to what you are creating. Thank you for putting your heart out in the open and sharing such a touching piece of music.
An absolute joy to listen to!
Edit: Oh, and pshh, her loss. Lol
A few years ago, I thought I’d met my soulmate. We talked about love, marriage, kids, and no one had ever made me laugh the way he did. I was his, and he was mine. But he upped and left one day, with no other reason than he couldn’t do it anymore, and I thought I’d never be okay again. But I learned how to be happy again, on my own. I learned how to love myself, and learned what it is I really deserve. I’m now with the most amazing man I’ve ever met, who would rather die than do anything to harm me. When the pandemic is over, we’re going to get married. I really, truly hope that whoever can relate to me will find happiness the way I have.
I really felt that... I did go through the exact same thing. I thought I'd finally found my soulmate. And I loved him so much. I still do. But he left me, I still don't know exactly why. I'm slowly healing and reading your story gives me hope that I will someday come to that point where I can love myself again...
I feel like this song could have been famous. You really should have gotten more likes for this. You’re truly amazing.

@@Zula_The_Squid whahhaa😂
Wow absolutely incredible, I remember hearing the two minute version and I fell in love with the piece and kept searching every day waiting for the full composition and it was a stunning performance! Thank you so much! I was playing piano and ended up writing a very sad melody but my composition skills are too lacking to do it justice, i was wondering if I could send it to you and if you like it you might want to do something with it because I love your composition style.
Im glad you love it! Ill take a listen, send me on discord
MusicalBasics awesome, I will!
Cool concept. My ears wanted a bit more harmonic diversity/development or perhaps a reharmonization; something to add even more to those epic moments you’re going for. I think there is a lot of potential for untapped harmonic language in your writing. It’s a powerful tool that would add more impact to your compositions.
This is more a despair song that a love song. Didnt really feel anything tbh
I don't even care how difficult this piece is I want to learn it. It's so beautiful
Not only has this guy fûcking created the best piece ever, he also has created a sublime story with captions! I mean what else could you ask for!
holy moly i love the ending that one note that left the story kinda unfinished
Alternate title: I will never love again 💔 😔
Loved this piece. I have rewatched this so many times and it gets better every time cause i'll find a new emotion i hadn't felt before. Great job. Can't believe you got this from a small piece you made in like 20 seconds
While i was listening to this song... There were some lyrics coming uo in my mind... That actually reflects to my emotions😭😔
"It was built to last forever but fell down in a day."
damn for some reason this is reminding me of Your Lie In April (Also I just got Kaori Miyazono as this accounts pro pic so coincidence af)
;-;
The only dislikes are from the tears of people that fell on it
This song is beautiful, meaningful and amazing

Grace Thewolf i’ve seen you so much here and i will say this again as i have to pretty much all of your replies here. why are you so mad? why are you so either egotistical that you feel no one can compare to your skill or why are you just so hurt and fucking incompetent and useless that you have to drag other people down to make yourself feel better? if it’s the latter, don’t go and drag others down. try to make y o u r s e l f better
@@theletterh8176 its cause he's an internet thug that is too afraid to tell ppl how he really feels in person
Ouch! I never wish somebody to lost their love that way!
As always your music and story's are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing! :')
They cant make something out like this if they didnt Expreienced it(*or maybe lionel lost his love?*)
I think that saying that this will make you cry is an underestimate. Beautiful job!
it’s hard to imagine you could love someone this much just for them to tear your heart to shreds...
To think the fact, that he didn't even make 1 mistake
As amazing as he is, I sincerely doubt this was the first take after perfecting the piece.
Enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s okay
how people could create beautiful musical pieces like this is beyond me.
Fun fact: He started to compose it / making this concept for only 2 minutes! ✔️
I’ve got a story to tell. It is a fan fiction that I’d like to share. It is based on a book series called, “Wings of Fire”, so not many of you reading this might not know about this dragon-related book series.
“Final.”
It was the last word I heard from him.
In a valley.
Laying in red.
The tears had over flowed my eyes and started to trail down, dripping to Blue’s body. It was then I heard an exhale and saw those beautiful, blue eyes close. As I heard his soul escape this mortal coil, a thump had sounded. All of my love was worthless. I hid my love for too long. How do I tell this to them? More importantly...
How do I live without my best friend?
I wish I can turn back the talons of time.
If I wasn’t caught up on the NightWings that were on me, he could’ve lived. The whole continent would’ve survived!
But they didn’t.
Because of me.
Luna’s brother was dead, because of me.
Swordtail’s good friend is dead, because of me.
Sundew’s friend is dead, because of me.
And I...
Well, does it even matter?
I matter no more.
If you really wanted to know,
I, Blue’s FORMER best friend, Cricket...
I loved him. Yet he will never, ever, know.
To be continued... (On a different sad song this absolutely amazing man composes.)
@Doobler Pickle, Blue actually dies? In which book? Or is this made by you? Have you read the 14th book?
VASUDEV VENKAT Oh, no dude. This is a fanfic. Although I hope he didn’t die... (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)
@Doobler Pickle. Phew.. haha great one tho
VASUDEV VENKAT Thanks brah. You stay stafe, aa well as everyone reading this. ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

This is the type of song that brings back the Memories from the ones that past the memories that you loved and forgot this is the song to bring back life to you...
I remember how this song hit the first time I heard it. I do not k ow how I forgot about this song. I’m glad I found it again. I just love this melody and the depth too it. It’s the fist song that I had heard. No felt the story and emotions that came with it. Thanks.
At the end of this piece on G sharp, we feel the "What Could Have Been". We have this feeling of "What could come next ?" it doesnt finish on a classic finale.
Great choice if made on purpose !
5:36 This melody was so known by the near end of the piece- But so saddening and haunting in its return. I just wanted to say- it made me cry, and this piece is heccin amazing.
Really beautiful, I'm in tears, I really felt every note and every word on my skin.
You are so talented! You can play piano, arrange music, compose pieces, somehow improvise on the spot yet create beautiful melodies, AND you can write amazing stories! This story really touched my heart; even though the same thing hasn't happened to me, something similar has and I won't be forgetting it in a while... Thank you so much
song this at my school talent show. they did a talent show online on zoom. and i won.
amazing paice btw
yaayyy my fave out of the 3 is finally here
I don’t often have aesthetic experiences but when I do...oh man they’re powerful. This piece just grabbed my attention and truly made me feel....I don’t know! My heart is still pounding! The tempo and dynamic changes were all done with such care, how the music builds gradually and comes back onto the rise back up with more intensity, it reminds me of the waves of emotion one can feel in a situation like this! And the ending, how there is no resolution, it’s beautiful, I love it, I could go on and on, but I doubt I can say anything that hasn’t already been said. The long in the short of it is I adore it, and you have such talent for being able to compose the music and story so wonderfully!
I pictured a whole story in my head while listening to this
I don't regret finding this UA-cam channel
Not gonna lie, was getting some Gladiator - Now We Are Free vibes from this. Especially at 3:30. Watch Patrick Pietschmann’s Gladiator video. This is just like an epic version of that song lol
Yeah when i was thinking that while writing, had to make an effort to try not to use the same melody 😂
Ahh yes I remember you made this song in that one sad song video but it was really short and you finally made a longer version. Thanks👍 its beautiful.
The raw emotion of the music coupled with the story in the captions truly made my heart hurt... this is an amazing song
This song is amazing... I love it all, especially how it ends on a note that doesn't offer true resolution to the piece. It's all a dark but beautiful analogy
This is such a good song, like how do you always do it!
That last ending note have really got me to think, what could have been?
ok wow.
i am sitting outside, the sun is shining and your piece is playing. as the piece continues and i am reading the story, the wind gets stronger. I don't know why, but somehow this storm that surrounds me fits perfectly to this song; sometimes it's loud and harsh, sometimes it's calm and gentle.
and the tears in my eyes are definitely not because of the wind...
amazing piece!
"the life that we dreamed about for years, it was built to last forever but fell down in a day"
That hit me hard 😭
the beginning is nice
Wow u created this very good piano very good finger and very good note
but fr good piece
The start of the song felt like it was learning towards an ode to the "sound of silence"
This song made me cry my heart out for the first time in 3 years.. thank you so much Lionel, how I'm ever grateful for your incredible piece. I am now in debt to you cause you made me cry...

@@NotMozart1685 what's the point of making it hard then? It would be interesting if it was a different kind of "hard", here it's just arpeggios and chords, for example Rachmaninoff's third concerto is extremely hard but it has nothing to do with arpeggios, MusicalBasics' "virtuosity" is boring as hell. Also I wouldn't have mind his compositions being cheesy as much if he wasn't constantly shitting on more modern composers (i.e second Viennese school, atonal composers etc), goddammit he even said Scriabin's sonata 5 was "hot garbage" (idk how it's possible to even think that).

This made me rewatch "your lie in april". Now I've got the feels
This song is pure heart!
I cried so hard, it just makes me wonder, what could have been?
Truly the best piece out of all pieces.
Amazing. I remember listening to it when it was first partially created from a 2 min challenge and have been waiting for the full version to come out. It’s really beautiful, man.
This is the 30th time I have listened to this and I have to say that this is the most beautiful and most emotional song I know. It really touchs my soul and every new time I listen to this I have to cry.
i never cry (except for occasions such as physical pain) because it's just not how i represent emotion but this piece was certainly powerful. i don't even have any real connection to music or knowledge, but this was stunning. the captions made it even more striking.
brilliant, just brilliant
Ngl, I teared up a bit, it hits you when you think of someone that you loved
This piece makes me think that I shouldn't hurt anyone but the fact is I always end up offending and hurting them and I just-
This is my first time watching this channel you have now inspired me to start the piano! Keep up the awesome work. One extra subscriber.
That is absolutely beautiful. Just wow 😪
this was my favorite one of the three!!! thanks Lionel for finally making this :D
As someone who's lost many friends, this hit me right in the feels. Thanks for writing this beautiful piece. The song ending didn't sound complete, just like all the friendships I could have had.
Same
Might be going through a heartbreak but this song just made me smile too hard. He completed it and this couldn't have made me happier. Thank you ❤
Kind of chaotic and the mix of sad and happy blends together...
I can feel the emotion of this song so deeply. I have been through something like the girl in this story, so listening to this was very bitter-sweet.
Thank you for finishing this! I love it!
The ending feels incomplete and that’s what really breaks my heart
How on earth do you come up with this. Who the heck would dislike a piece like this???
The captions truly bring the experience to the fullest; what an amazing yet sad story you have created.
I cried a bit around 1:31. When the captions were talking about how they could've been amazing and how he made everything easier for her and he made her happy. It reminded me of how I put someone else through this pain and I wish I could fix it. And I know so many people have gone through heartbreak and I just wish they didn't have to go through that.
This piece sent *shivers* down meh spine
This broke me with the past couple months I've just had😭 I've never felt so understood and that piece just had every aspect of perfection
this is my favorite piece of all time.. it just.. hits me like no other piece as ever done.
This piece did not make me cry, it did better. It let me listen to my thoughts and compose (yes compose) myself. Thanks for all the music and effort you put into them. Truly, this is one of the many masterpieces you play, and the best thing is that it allows people like me to be inspired and dig deeper into the music world, which I am grateful for. Please keep it up :P
Oh my God. The way this piece ends on that G# without a resolution was powerful. Nice work, my man.
Every time I see a new video pop up on your channel it’s like Christmas morning. Thanks for that, it brightens my day,
half way through the video i decided to read the description and holy smokes did i only hurt myself more by turning the captions on. a painful masterpiece...
This is a such a beautiful peace.
It can tell ones whole life story sad or happy. This was a Wonderful song
First time I’ve cried at a piece. Truly a masterpiece.
This song is really emotional but hauntingly beautiful
