It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.
No game struck me like Reach did. I've never felt more connected to a game's characters, few games are willing to have the heroes lose in the end. Reach was overrun, Noble lost the battle, but only so humanity could win the war. Even though the Spartans fell in this game, it is actually the most powerful they've seemed to me in any game because it is more about their legacy and the sacrifices they all make, every one of them. One at a time they fell, each making their dying moments count, and few ways was the melancholy better captured than the music. Glad to hear covers of these, Reach will always be my favourite Halo game!
Reach is a very human story. It doesn't matter if regular marine or spartan super soldier they equally fall in battle against an enemy that is far superior in every single way. And the best they can hope is that their sacrifce in the end matters. Reach may have fallen but in time the planet was restored and without the efforts of those who have died that wouldn't be possible.
You’ve *never* felt more connected to a game’s characters..? I’m not saying Reach is bad, it’s amazing... But NO other game had characters you connected with more??
@@beanieguitarguy4070 For sure there are other games with gripping stories and characters, probably lots that I haven't played that might be even better; I haven't played every game under the sun. But of the games I have personally played, I don't remember being more engaged in the character's stories and interested in what happens next than I was the first time I played Reach, mostly because I couldn't just trust they would win in the end. It could also have related to the time I played the game, I may have been particularly moved by stories at that point in my life. So not to discredit any other games, but that's just from my experience.
"Spartans Never Die..." That was the mantra we in the UNSC repeated maybe too often. We said it because it made us feel secure, because it gave us hope -- "Spartans never die." But we have no right to take that away from them. Their sacrifices are a legacy we will no longer deny." -Captain Thomas Lasky, 2558.
This song is the best for Halo in my opinion, it captures the sadness of the moment and a weird sense of a bittersweet moment because Noble Six knew he completed his mission, but knowing he didn’t have a chance to survive he continued to fight to the end
I'm crying. I remember going through each death of Noble (minus Jun). Returning to the life of a Lone Wolf, the last stand. Noble Six did not run, he stood his ground and fought to his dying breath. Thank you for this
Spartans never die, they're just missing in action. That mission was one of the best missions I've ever done in Halo. A heroic last stand, using the weapons and armor abilities from your fallen allies to take as many of your enemies with you as possible before the inevitable end. Those last few moments as you see your character slowly get overpowered by the abundance of elites having to literally tackle them to the ground and kill them. Halsey's message. It's such a satisfying end to Noble 6's story.
I *bawled* the first time I finished Reach. I grew up with Halo. I knew the lore. It was such a big part of my childhood that to have Bungie give us such an amazing swan song to cap it off... Man. I don't know that any other game will truly capture that feeling.
Playing this mission just as a last chance for survival, along with this song, is really saying "it's all over." Reach is lost but you succeeded in getting Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn. What better way to end a game with going down with a final stand on a lost planet
@@rreprah9515 It was the 5th released, and knows it. Much of its story and important moments relies on an understanding of the events of the previous releases. Even the atmosphere isn't the same if you haven't played the other games.
Reach was the first halo game i ever played. In halo master chief collection and it gave me chills one of the best stories i have ever played through or ever head or seen. And i read a lot of books and stuff but rarly i ever get the same chills.
To all those thinking this is from Lone Wolf (Current Objective: Survive), it’s not. That particular piece is called Epilogue, Ghosts and Glass comes from the beginning of ‘The Package’ just without the middle bit
This bring me back to 2010 when i first played this game. Even if halo infinite is great, i'm never gonna feel the same things i flet with halo reach. So much memories about this game, the campagn, the multiplayer with tons of friends in BTB, this bring me to times where life was simplier. Now i'm 100% nostalgic
The music in the Halo games (excluding 4 and 5 [these still have a couple good ones]) is amazing. However you enjoy it even more if you play the games. The significance of this piece is enhanced by the story of Reach. You should definitely play them. They're fun to play too!
Ohhhh the memories just listening to this… I may have the faintest memories playing the first two games and a lot for three, but Reach is definitely my favorite for the story it told. And ODST was just something else, it was great on launch, glad people came back to it
I will always remember the way 6 looks in the sky, totally lost, just before a Phantom comes. What a game. Thanks for your covers man, they are awesome. If you ever do Unwearied Heart, I will be the happiest man on Earth!
My favorite piece of music you've ever covered. I never had played the Halo games, or even spent the time to listen to a couple pieces of music from the OST of the series of games. Ever since I listened to this one cover, as well as Ashes, I have become a big Halo Fan. Overall, this was my most viewed video of yours, this year, on just this account. On it alone, I listened to this piece 18 times this year. This isn't even my main account! I listened to 25 hours of your music on this account as well. Thank you, Atinpiano. I got seriously into piano recently, and you and your music (covers) are the main things I played within the past 6 months, since late May. Thank you, for getting me back into piano seriously, and thank you for this ABSOLUTE masterpiece!
My guy, AtinPiano! I notice you were stressing about the key changes in this piece - while I realize yeah, Marty does that frequently in his compositions, I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that each one here is supposed to reflect a different member of the cast in-game. Each of the 6 members of Noble, then Reach itself for the final change!
This is honestly amazing - great job!! I highly recommend checking out the Ori and the Will of the Wisps soundtrack, there is an amazing piano collection and with your presentation style, I imagine it would be brilliant.
Reach is the memorial saga of warriors who finished the fight with honor. It's a science fiction 300, warrior born and bred for battle seeking a glorious and worthy death on the battlefield in service of a cause greater than themselves. Godspeed, Spartans.
Noble 6 was definitely hyper lethal vector ( Halsey only classified one other Spartan with that title, Master Chief) Took on a bunch of high ranking elites like they were nothing. Without their sacrifice, the Covenant would’ve won. Remember Reach.
New objective: Survive
Only one mission gives me the hard feels every thing time I play it. Thank you for the Halo Piano covers ;-;
God
Spartans never die.

Ghosts and glass comes from the beginning of The Package, mostly, the one you hear on lone wolf is epilogue

@@Jess-I-Guess Okay, that’s fair. I assume you mostly play shooters and the like?
When this song hits after Kay’s death and they are standing there looking at a burning Reach with Kat in their arms. Shit hits hard every time
The scene where it shows the glassed remains and pans in on you, the text saying "there'll be another time"... It really hits hard
Never forget the feeling of first witnessing that... some games just hit different the first time around
"there'll be another time"
I can never forget those words...
@@MrCreepypastero666 especially since it’s a Han Solo reference.
Followed up with "Current Objective: Survive", you know you're not meant to win or live to fight another day.
Was one of the best ending to a game. No way out. Spartans never die.
They’re just missing in action.
It was an homage also to the noble 14 of halo 2 the lone wolf mission
"Spartans Never Die..." That was the mantra we in the UNSC repeated maybe too often. We said it because it made us feel secure, because it gave us hope -- "Spartans never die." But we have no right to take that away from them. Their sacrifices are a legacy we will no longer deny." -Captain Thomas Lasky, 2558.
'Spartans never die, they just stand there and never move' - that marine i stared at for way too long
"spartans dont go out quietly"
This song is the best for Halo in my opinion, it captures the sadness of the moment and a weird sense of a bittersweet moment because Noble Six knew he completed his mission, but knowing he didn’t have a chance to survive he continued to fight to the end
At 1:42 I can literally see the ship flying away as Six gazes at the sky holding a DMR.
I'm crying. I remember going through each death of Noble (minus Jun). Returning to the life of a Lone Wolf, the last stand. Noble Six did not run, he stood his ground and fought to his dying breath. Thank you for this
Love Reach, always have, always will. There's no game like it. It's perfect. Will never forget the lives we saved as Noble 6.
Reach had an amazing soundtrack
it still does
all the classic halo’s did man. 3 and reach especially. ODST too
@@THEODSTKING117 they still do

What would you like to see me cover next?
Long night of solace!! Specifically the ending
Halo 3’s “Keep what you steal”!!!
Halo 4’s 117. It’s longer than your usual uploads (Around 7 1/2 minutes), but 117 it worth it
Or even just Winter Contingency, if you want to stay on Reach
ONI: Base sword-Halo: Reach
No matter what the community says, I'm glad I grew up a Reach kid.
hell yeah
I started with Halo 3, but loved Reach best of all
it is pure beauty of a game
Same
@@genericimage2452 I started with both in 2012
Amen
me too m8

I feel the same way

I’m gonna be honest, I’ve never played Halo before, but I absolutely love the music from it.
I'm gonna be honest if there is one you need to play it is Reach 100%
@@dapoiboi8360 Reach isn't nearly as good without the context of the other games.
@@the_redpyro4906 Bro if anything reach is the context, its the first game of the halo story.
@@rreprah9515 fr you can start with Reach then move on to the first Halo.
@@rreprah9515 It was the 5th released, and knows it. Much of its story and important moments relies on an understanding of the events of the previous releases. Even the atmosphere isn't the same if you haven't played the other games.
If Reach had an Anniversary treatment, I hear this track sounding like this.
I love how you can hear the same kind of harmonic writing in Destiny’s soundtrack as well.

There'll be Another Time...

I'm absolutely loving the halo covers man!
Amazing performance! I didn't play Halo yet but I feel this one perfectly suits Dune
Just do it!! Those games have the best videogames music ever
You don’t have to play them, just search here Halo ost
All halos have a great soundtrack

Play it. Halo is not just a fun shooter, but also a beautiful story and an artistic masterpiece.
Why not? MCC is now insanely cheap and doesn't require a powerful hardware
Nicely done, a beautiful piece from Reach
I love these Halo uploads, thank you! It's great to see the hand positioning, too.
This is one of my favourites from reach. Hauntingly beautiful
Ohhhh the memories just listening to this… I may have the faintest memories playing the first two games and a lot for three, but Reach is definitely my favorite for the story it told. And ODST was just something else, it was great on launch, glad people came back to it
Sometimes I go play Lone Wolf just hear this. The atmosphere and music in that mission is... Palpable.
The end of a phenomenal game, and even sadder, the end of a once in a lifetime series of games. Halo never dies, its only missing in action.
I will always remember the way 6 looks in the sky, totally lost, just before a Phantom comes. What a game.
Thanks for your covers man, they are awesome. If you ever do Unwearied Heart, I will be the happiest man on Earth!
MOAR HALO. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH
Yes, Ghosts and Glass has always been my favourite Halo Reach song.
The performance is vividly written and very moving. 😢
Spartans never die...
...quietly. Now go turn on scorekeeping on Lone Wolf and set a new personal best high score.
It seems like such a simple, yet such an amazing piece of music.
This give me so many memories of playing reach over and over when I was little
Most impactful song I’ve heard in a game

This is definitely better than Deference for Darkness
Beautiful cover! I’m learning the song and can play half ish of it
These are all so great! Halo Reach is one of my favorite games because of the music 👍💯
This is honestly amazing - great job!! I highly recommend checking out the Ori and the Will of the Wisps soundtrack, there is an amazing piano collection and with your presentation style, I imagine it would be brilliant.
These dang Halo covers are the best!
OH MY GOSH THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! Also I would like to hear 117 from halo 4
God yes
I still have the Limited Edition of Halo Reach for the 360 and still to this days my favorite game ever.
you play so fluently! Something I am trying to master :)
Everytime you post a new video i think it's the one i want played at my funeral 🥲😭
Reach is the memorial saga of warriors who finished the fight with honor. It's a science fiction 300, warrior born and bred for battle seeking a glorious and worthy death on the battlefield in service of a cause greater than themselves. Godspeed, Spartans.
Love all of the music u do keep up the fantastic work fav channel by far
Us clones and the Spartans are quite alike. We fight until the end……..We fight for our fellow soldiers.
I recently jusr replayed halo reach so many emotions and so much nostalgia
YES YES YES!! So happy I found you in my recommended!!!
AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL! I hope you keep more Halo content like this coming
A hero need not speak; when he is gone, the world will speak for him.
When I hear this piece the whirring of phantoms overhead begins in my mind.
Reach has the best halo music, and you cant change my mind
loving the halo stuff
Now's the perfect time to hear this.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
I know it's moving away from Halo, but I'd love to hear Destiny 2: Deep stone lullaby!
I second this
I third this
i fourth this but what about journey
My favourite part about this piece is that if you listen carefully you can hear bits inspired by Jupiter from the Planets Suite by Holst
this kicks right in my heart...
Could you do "A Walk In The Woods/Through The Trees''?
Play this at my funeral so everybody cries more
@AntinPiano I know it's a dated game, but you REALLY need to do Deliver Hope. Two minutes of pure feels.
0:19 sounds very John Powell-y. Specifically like "This Is Berk" from How To Train Your Dragon or "Fairytale" from Shrek
I remember watching each member of noble team die, when i got to emiles death i was like, "im next, right?"
keep the halo coming!
Whether we wanted it or not we’ve stepped into a war with the Covenant on Reach.
underated lmao
A good last song for the last mission
@AtinPiano You got to add this one to amazon music I found your other Halo songs but not this one and I love this one. PLEASE add this one too.
If u play halo themes, you should play destiny themes, the space opera vibe is crazy
Especially the new Grasp of avarice ost its amazing:)
@@dapoiboi8360 The vibe destiny's themes are so amazing, especially those from Taken King and Beyond Light
Could you do the imperial guard theme from dawn of war 1
Can we get Bits and Pieces from the ODST soundtrack next?
That Lone Wolf stuff stays behind.
-Spartan A259 Carter, Halo: Reach
Great work on this one. Can you put it on Spotify ? Ashes is but not this one
A moment of silence for the gamers who haven't experienced this greatness yet
Spartans never die, they're just missing in action...
At 0:19 My girlfriend goes SHREK! I shook my head...
This might sound crazy but my dad heard Rocky during the scene he walks alone.
Wow. I've played this game god knows how many times and didn't realise that at 2:01 it sounds like Shrek music
This one was so epic! Listen to "Arrival" from the Halo 4 soundtrack. I would love you to cover that one next!
incredible
"Negative sir, _I_ have the gun"
"then good luck to you spartan"
You should try and do Tip of the Spear!!!!
I'm really loving these Halo covers but could you please do something from Halo ODST?
Please do New Alexandria!
Spartans never die...They're just missing in action...
"Negative, I have the gun. Good luck sir."
- Last words of Spartan B-312
Fun fact: there are only about 4 Grunts in the final mission lol
Hehe finally somebody caught it. There are different 4 keys in this track that Marty constantly changes between :D
Could you do Seige of Madrigal from Halo CE next? Even just as a UA-cam short? It's just so good! :D
Spartans never die. They’re just missing in action
Could you *plase* do Spirit of Fire next? It's an awesome Halo song!!
Noble 6 was definitely hyper lethal vector ( Halsey only classified one other Spartan with that title, Master Chief)
Took on a bunch of high ranking elites like they were nothing.
Without their sacrifice, the Covenant would’ve won.
Remember Reach.
Would you consider doing Thirty Seven After Six from Half-Life: Alyx?
Cool!
Do heretic, hero or another variation of walk in the woods
Hi Atin! Can you make a piano cover on le mans 66 from Ford v Ferrari please
