Two Steps From Hell piano playlist: • Two Steps From Hell
Composed by Thomas Bergersen
Arranged and performed by Andrew Wrangell
Original: • Two Steps From Hell - ...
Flight of the Silverbird is an incredible track from the Two Steps From Hell album "Battlecry", released on April 28, 2015. That's EXACTLY TWO YEARS AGO as I upload this video, how about that!
This track has ADVENTURE written all over it! It's absolutely one of my favourites from the Battlecry album, probably in my top 3. When I listen to the original track, I can just imagine the feeling of flight, the sense of thrill! That's what epic music is for.
Full disclosure: This video was not recorded in one take! I piece the multiple parts together because I want to play every single note just right. To be able to put out a new video every week on UA-cam, I just can't practice for as long as it takes to be able to play it all at once. If I tried to get Flight of the Silverbird in just one take, I'm not sure I'd ever get it at all! So forgive my video magic! :P
I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out! I was worried I wouldn't be able to upload it in time because I had so much difficulty playing it. That's because a section at the beginning of this arrangement was killer. I kid you not, I spent 14 hours practicing just that part at 0:42, with the intricate right hand notes. After 8 hours of practice and five and a hours of recording, I couldn't get a good take. It's practically never happened because I tend to keep at it until I get it. I don't know last time I swore that much in a day. But yes, over 170 takes just for that one part. That's what seems to be necessary to play epic music on the piano!
Some of the rest of this video may look a little harder but by God, 0:42 - 1:06 vanquished me. I haven't had that much trouble recording any part of a video since High C's ( • High C's by Two Steps ... )! And that's is the video that sidelined me for two weeks to recover from playing something so damn difficult, haha!
The image used in the thumbnail is something from Legend of the Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'Hoole. One of my treasured favourite movies of all time. It's one of these special movies that are few and far between - at least to me! The shot I used is from when Soren flies through the tornado - very cool and absolutely in the epic spirit of Flight of the Silverbird!
Two Steps From Hell is hands down my favourite trailer music. The way Thomas Bergersen crafts this music is incredible and it's an absolute pleasure to arrange it for piano, it works so well! I try my best to get that big sound too, as best I can because the originals are such epic music and I have to pick and choose which parts to keep on the piano. I only have two hands after all!
This track was voted for by my patrons on Patreon! Please expect more Two Steps From Hell and more epic music! If you'd like to have your vote counted on what I do next, you can become a patron from $1 per video! And you'll get your name in the credits too. ;)
Please enjoy Flight of the Silverbird by Two Steps From Hell!

Do you have the midi files of your songs? I could make a TSFH piano compilation then.
Yep, I have midi of all of them! I'll send you an email :)
holy cow! the legendary piano dubstep master Bob GMBH no wait.... BGH music is here! happiest day of my life
"Dad, why is my sisters name Rose?"

Are you the REAL Randy Dominguez?
@@muhammadirfannoorazman6587 looks like the answer to that is no
The channel with the best Two Steps From Hell covers.......Amazing
+Smell Goo Aw, thanks so much!
This channel deserves more views, it's all I have to say, this cover touched my soul
Thanks so much, I'm so glad you liked it!
That is true :). I was really looking forward to this, because it sounds phenomal on the piano and he did it even better :).
one of those rare artists, that some might say plagiarize, yet take it and make it better than any would have thought. taking a dry song and making a joyous triumph. That is you andrew
0:07 the silverbird is flying above the desert at night, it's warm and the winds are calm. gentle flaps~
0:14 above, the clouds start to part, revealing a night sky filled with stars. more gentle flaps. There is light beyond the horizon
0:27 the silverbird glides on through the night, leaving twinkling sparks behind from its tail and wings
0:34 more sparks, they flutter down gently towards the sand dunes
0:37 suddenly, the ground drops to reveal a deep valley, strong gusts of wind, almost a tornado!! the silverbird soars through the gales like an autumn leaf, going left and right, soaring up in circles. at the highest point, it's as if the silverbird can reach the stars. down again, and up again, like a roller coaster with no brakes.
1:05 the silverbird has reached the edges of the gales! it's high up, almost a speck in the sky like the twinkling stars even beyond the silverbird. Leaving sparkles behind like a mystical unicorn through a forest, the silverbird zooms across the sky, barely flapping, and simply gliding.
1:08 more sand dunes slide underneath the silverbird as it soars on. between towering sand dunes, the breaking daylight reveals shadows of horses speeding along. As if racing, the silverbird flaps and plays in the sky, drawing intricate patterns and swirls of sparkles with its sparks.
1:14 the silverbird is above the horses as they still run on, and the silverbird is looping around in the sky, as if an invitation to play with the speeding mammals.
1:24 bidding farewell to the horses, another strong gust sends the silverbird high up into the atmosphere, the horses becoming tiny specks blending in with the sand.
1:28 high up, the silverbird sees the blindingly bright sun, while it still flies on towards the brilliant daylight. long shadows are cast on the mountainous sand dunes while the dawn air becomes warmer by the second.
1:37 simply admiring the shining sun and watching the navy sky turn cyan, the silverbird still flies on.
1:45 gliding downwards, the silverbird makes a slight descent towards the looming sand hills, zig zagging between valleys as if in a maze.
1:55 taking a turn between the sand dunes, the silverbird finds itself in the midst of a storm. Though daytime, thunderous clouds span the skies, lightning casts shadows from small trees far down below, and rain pelting down towards a canyon with raging waters streaking between. The silverbird soars straight on, as if challenging the charcoal clouds while leaving behind silver glints of sparks
2:08 the silverbird struggles against the winds whipping around, and flaps back with even more power! enough power to blow away some clouds in swirls, calming the storm just a tiny bit.
2:18 the storm surrenders, moving away clouds in the same swirling pattern created by the silverbird, and slowly becoming a slate grey, parting to reveal a shining sun casting its brilliance across the brick red canyons, showing rushing muddy waters below.
2:22 swooping towards the earth like a falcon locking onto its prey, the silverbird takes a plunge and finds itself at the edge of a forest that seemingly goes to the ends of the world. trees throw their branches out like an umbrella shading the silverbird's brilliance as the it zips through the colossal trees. hundreds of small mammals scurry across and tiny birds flutter into bushes lined with ruby red berries.
2:33 a flap of the silverbird's wings and the forest becomes like a fairy tale, with silver sparkles lining every surface, making the rain droplets shine even moreso
2:35 the silverbird flaps a few more times and ascends through the treetops at a lightning speed. As if one with the wind, the silverbird rockets through the dangling roots and pine needles and flies through in a flash of silver.
2:40 above the forest, the silverbird looks back and sees the rapidly diminishing trees, and snaps back foreward, facing the strong gales of wind, to see many deer bravely jumping across a mighty river, fighting back against the rushing water with all their strength. As if cheering them on, the silverbird flies in loops and sharp turns in the sky, leaving sparkles of silver dust above the deer, motivating them even further to cross the spacious river.
3:01 it's time to go, and the silverbird catches a small gust of wind to ride up into the atmosphere again. the twinkling stars gone, the silverbird itself becomes the sparkles in the sky for creatures large and small to look up and find.
3:07 reminiscing on its adventurous flight through the dawn of a new day, the silverbird sees silver horses galloping across, looking up at the twinkling silverbird. but these horses are like the wind, changing shape and shifting around nonstop, hyperactively, like a wandering ghost.
3:12 the silverbird is content and relieved after a day's worth of adventure. the sun begins to hide behind the grassy hills, dyeing the sky a brilliant watercolor of magentas and oranges and yellows. The puffy clouds highlight the sky's saturated colour and changes the bold colours into pastel lilacs, roses, and lemon yellows. the long journey is almost over. the twinkling bird loops across the sky, like its own flock of starlings, and twisting around in spirals; so much that you couldn't tell the sky from the darkening ground. the ghost horses continue to sprint with the silverbird like a shadow, copying its every move. the winds start to whip around again, mixing the silver horses once again.
3:20 the winds slash apart the glimmering horses and the silverbird zips across the sky one last time, looping across in its playful fashion.
3:25 the sun finally sinks below the horizon, the air becomes cooler and calmer, the night quiet and serene. in one final loop, the silverbird vanishes in a cloud of silver sparks.
U should write a book
Fascinating.
Wow.😍 You should be author !
I couldn’t keep up with the time stamps but good show. 👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hm.
Little to no explanation of what or who the main character is... A flutter and diversity of words to keep the audience interested... yes. The mystery. That's what hooks people. The curiosity. Keeping that curious mind across the entire book is a challenge indeed. Though sadly, it did not captivate me since i just skipped to the end. Mate, you need a better hook. But the story itself is interesting.
observing this and myself has done wonders for the progress of my novel. Thus, i thank you, megaconure.
Seriously, i was surprised that i skipped to the end because i sub-consciously thought this was just boring but after reading through the entire thing, t'was indeed quite interesting. Other than the beginning.
Note to self: Remember to start off every chapter with something horrible. Not in the "This man was king and now he's dead" sort of horrible, i mean start it off with a chain of events leading to the decent of something. Like Nord's invading Valeran lands, hunting the wyvern's for there scales. To which, one of the imperial council member's said "What if they're using it for armour and weapons? this could not bode well for not just the empire, but the entire world excluding Caldenforma. Bloody grandmaster of the Knights: Black eagle literally holds one of the blades of the 5 Guardian Wyrms and has a bitter resentment for those old god believers."
((Ah... i see.))
You see nothing, DiZeN.
OMG, finally someone, who left in their cover the spirit of the original. You actually have that boom, that energy in it, and it's amazing ^^
I'm learning this on the piano at 12
I have been listening to TSFH since I was 10, and this is my favorite pieces of theirs EVER!!!
This piano cover made me go crazy about learning this piece on the piano. Andrew, if you are reading this comment, 👍👍👍
Stunning... just stunning... thank you again for your piano version
looking forward to your next work!
Thanks so much!
heyho :) so you are subscribed here as well :P
Oh mein gott ein deutscher!
Really, really awesome, definitely one of your best works, and one of the best of TSFH piano arrangements on UA-cam as a whole. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I'm happy with this one, hope I can make the next one even better!
ANDREW WRANGELL MUSIC YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING. I DO NOT HAVE WORDS THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!
After hearing Flight of the Silverbird, I didn't think you could improve on High C's. You did indeed! I wonder what Mozart would have thought of your performance and abilities? Keep up the GREAT work Andrew.
Jan Curtis such praise! I'm so glad you like my playing!
This was amazing! I remembering watching the Mountbatten Festival of Music this year when FotS was played live - the beginning always gives me chills.
+Ryan Forrest I would love to see TSFH performed live, that would be amazing!
Absolutely stunning. I never thought I'd be able to hear a full orchestra on a piano. Very well done sir. Keep up the amazing work.
Congrats man, you have officially transcended humanity. The gods welcome you amongst their ranks.
patrick wang such high praise, I'm flattered!
Lovely, beautiful, dreamy
Great job dude this is one of my favourites! :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! :D
Your covers are truly amazing, so unique and different compared to other covers on UA-cam. You definitely deserve more viewers
Jack Allen thanks so much! I made it my mission to bring something special to my videos, my hope was that by playing to the best of my ability, I could make videos that people want to watch and subscribe for!
Jack Allen thanks so much! I made it my mission to bring something special to my videos, my hope was that by playing to the best of my ability, I could make videos that people want to watch and subscribe for!
This is one of those songs that you're totally disappointed when it's over. Seriously, thank you for making my life this much better.
:D. Just seeing this video pop up in my notifications made me so excited to watch it. Yay! This is one of my favourite songs from TSFH and you, once again, brought out the amazement in it. Keep going.
Maria L thank you so much! I'm really excited to hear you look forward to seeing my videos in your subscriptions! :D
Andrew Wrangell Music Yes! Of course! Seeing piano covers in general just make me happy, but seeing them come from piano channels I love and subscribe to gives me a whole other level of happiness. :D
This is hands down insane and amazing. I don't understand how you can only have 9.9k followers, you deserve 10 times that! Really brillant work !!!
I don’t leave comments, but your covers of Thomas Bergerson’s music are the best out there!
0:06 This into part is one of the most elegant piano intro I have ever listened
. I'm planning to compose some pieces by inspiring this intro its literally magical.
btw I'm a beginner I can only play Amelie on piano
cool
Well this isn't too hard. If you can play Amelie, you'd be able to play this with a few simplifications
It take few years to develop to this level, be honest too me 5 years.
Just keep on pushing, and you'll get there!
You should DEFINITELY let us know when you get a composition based on that intro! That'd be lovely!
This is FREAKING AMAZING! This is my favourite song and you played it with great accuracy and passion! This is absolutely lovely!!
Speechless! I've never heard anything more beautiful and emotional before!
Not only does this sound incredible, but the skill and talent it takes just to compose this is stupidly high. Yes, he might not have created the song itself, but knowing how to take the many melodies, counter-melodies, harmonies, and base and compress it all down into a score that a single pianist can play while maintaining the heart of the song from beginning to end blows my mind
I particularly like 1:10~1:26 part! I always start Saturday with your wonderful music! Always thank you ^^(emoticon in my country that means smile)
i really wish i could like this more than once. always coming back to it every once in a while.
I love the unison sustained octaves in the melody!
this is probably one of the most beautiful two steps from hell song out there
I seriously love your channel now: so many piano TSFH songs
Haha, thanks so much! Glad you like them! :D
You are incredible. Enough said. Not just for this stirring rendition, but for all the other works.
No matter how many times I listen to this one, I'll get in love every single time
So damn beautiful! Thank you, it is a privilege listening to that. Now I cannot stop, such emotions. Epic.
YES, this is awesome! Thank you so much for this, it's one my absolute favourites!
Excellent performance! Very nostalgic to hear this again.
One of my absolute favorite songs from TSFH! Well done sir!!
Wow. This is beautiful! So many chills...
I cannot stop listening to this. I first found your piano arrangement on flat.io two years ago and instantly fell in love. I hope to one day be skilled enough to play this.
Oh my gosh! That was great! I was hoping you'd do this one since I first got here and, oh my gosh, did you deliver! Thank you, you made my day.
Wholeheartedly agree with this one!
Nachtschwalbe Muninn thank you so much, it makes me really happy to hear you enjoyed it so!
No words... because it's a pure emotion.
YESSS! I was hoping you'd cover one of my favorite TSFH songs! Great job!
Yes, this is the song we need to hear when daenerys targaryen flies her dragons into Kings Landing next season of GoT. Anyways, well done, there were a few intricate sections you transposed nicely :)
Kipchak Horde thanks so much! Also I can't wait for the next season of Game of Thrones. So hyped!
So yeah, let's not talk about that
flight of the silver bird gives me the chills of excitement every time i listen to it thanks mate!
i have had this song on loop for nearly an hour now
Wow! I'm glad you like it that much! :D
YESSS this is one of my favorites from the TSFH album! Thank you so much for arranging it and playing it like such a pro ^_^ I always look forward to your awesome piano arrangements, man
Rawr Rio I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
Majestic!! My life gets better every time I listen covers like this TvT
Breathtaking...just....how- WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FREAKIN TALENTED ON THE PIANO!
This one was so amazing it gave me the shivers! Definitely one of my favorites, keep up your awesome work! :)
Drakehinst thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed! :D
I made a poem out of listening to this magnificent rendition. Keep it up! ✨
kodomochan32 that's awesome! Would you care to share your poem?
Here it is:
One has spoken; one has stood,
The world pondered his words weren't good,
Alas, he responded in uproar,
"Despite that, I'll thrive with my endeavor!"
In the likeness of Earth's nomads,
He scours for essence and acceptance,
"United we seem, yet divided we really are,"
"With this turbulence, we'd never venture far."
He courageously fathoms the mystery
Amidst the hopelessness and misery,
He shall stand erectly among the pioneers,
He shall be glorified by his peers.
I'll look forward for your next uploads 😊
kodomochan32 that's very cool, I liked it! Hope I can make another good video for next week :)
kodomochan32 damn that is actually good! Keep up the good work! :)
Absolutly stunning, very well done.
I found your channel yesterday, just had some time this evening to watch some of your videos and right now i am so happy that i found you. This is worth my support on patreon.
So much more of your covers to watch, this will be a long night...
Greetings from Austria

I'm absolutely blown away by how impressive this!
+Dan B I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! :D

Konrad Kruk Aw, thanks so much! I try to make my videos as good as possible so people will want to subscribe! :D
Andrew Wrangell: *plays any tsfh song*
Viewers: You know, i'm something of a poet myself
this is so lit! At first I was like oh I wanna play this, but then the impossible part came along... well done man!
Definitely one of my favourite TSFH pieces and one of the best covers I've ever heard! Well done!
Beautiful, this one is my fav' from all your videos! :D
Your music gives me wings! It's so light and thrilling, it's wonderful. Thanks for this video!
Man! I wish I could play piano like that. Yet again, you did it a great justice.
Great as always!
everytime i watch this im in awe of the skills
Wow I'm actually stunned. This is amazing, you have so much skill and keep it up! You deserve so many more views and likes. Just wow
Brilliant as always!
This is simply incredible. It took my breath away!
Beautiful composition, the title really fits it. And beautiful cover, of course :D
That was absolutely brilliant, even by your standards. Keep up the good work!
Kilian Roddewig thank you so much! I tried to raise the bar for my arrangements, always trying to improve!
Me at 1 am: one last War Thunder video I promise

Top two youtube musicians, The Piano Guys and Andrew Wrangell
+Carolyn Oppenheimer Aw, I'm flattered!!
Carolyn Oppenheimer You should listen to musical basics! I really like his 'For Beethoven' and 'Pachelbels nightmare'.
Carolyn Oppenheimer Do you know Vindsvept? He also makes amazing music
Best cover of this song I have ever heard.
Gh0st800 I'm honoured you think so! :D
Absolutely stellar cover !!! That's phenomenal.
This is completely amazing. It is super hard to learn, at my level at least, but I sounds so good, and so like the original. I love it. You have earned yourself a new subscriber!
This defies my understanding of logic, physics and human anatomy.
Haha, just takes some practice ;)
I have a hard time now and you make me cry.
Always doing such an amazing work !
Congratulation Andrew !!
This.... this is beautiful!!
you have serious skill this is a hard piece and sounded pitch perfect I subbed
I really love that high stuff at 00:42
Thanks! It was a nightmare to record that, I practiced for like 14 hours and still couldn't play it!
@@Composer1992 it seems crazy. Serious dedication
Your stuff is really incredible. This is my favourite one.
oh my god... this looks like the best cover you ever made... omg. it's pure awesomeness :). now I put it to the first place of my "next musics to practice" list. also, this music completely fits the way you play. it's awesome... and what's the name of the vst you're using? (if you're using one... lol :)
mufaya thanks so much! I'm using the Yamaha C7 from East West Pianos Gold. It had a good sound for my playing style, plenty of punch!
that price number hurts... I think my vst should remain in my pocket :D
mufaya you can use the Composer Cloud subscription option, $30USD a month, that's what I have :)
hmm... that's an option... I may be able to do that when my patreon reaches 30$ then :)... cause it's still hard for an 16 years old boy to buy a vst for 30$ a month
Your music has potential, keep uploading! If you make regular content and keep improving, the subscribers will come, and think about what you can offer on Patreon. Then you can get a better sound library to boost the quality of your music!
Amazing, best piano composition of this song ever!
Nothing to say other than you blew me away 😮
You just got the esence of it, like with High'Cs. Great work!
Dorian Sostenido thanks so much! I try to capture the spirit of it :)
Great job! Thanks a lot for this beautiful work!! I'm really moved by your play!
Hao Sun I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Holy shit! This was amazing
So epic
I love your videos man
Wow! Great job Andrew! 10/10!
Did you mean 20/10 ?
Lili LaPraline 30/10
1000000/10👍👍👍👌👌👌
The amount of talent you have is amazing
Masterpiece
Loved this so much, I subbed and I’m proud of it!
Thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoyed!
This captures the original. Well played!
