Cry me a moon river
The fact that the end of the song does't actually end on a resonant chord is such beautiful foreshadowing UGH
I found an old comment of yours. Do I win?
The fact that this songs name is to the moon for river is a huge spoiler...
J. Ackermann Holy Cow!!!!
Why is it a foreshadowing?
Try clannad spring breeze. The way it ends is fantastic.
This piece made me play piano. When I heard it in the ending scene, I was crying and thinking "I wish I could cause feelings like this just through music". So I started playing piano and after half a year of practice, I started learing this piece, which was harder than I thought it would be, because I sometimes got so emotional by playing it. I didn't start playing piano cause I wanted to play something cool or to impress people. I started playing because I wanted to tell stories while playing and reach people emotionally, just like this piece does. I love that that's possible and it's the most beautiful thing to ever happen in my life.
Same here.
This is in my opinion one of the most beautiful songs ever made for a game. Especially if you know the story behind the song and whatnot.
I couldn't agree more. I finished to the moon a few weeks back and this song still manages to bring me to tears
EXACTLY!! that's how i feel ^-^
Exactly..
such a beautiful love story, i cannot wait to try their future product
WHAT IS THE STORY?
This is what motivated me to buy a keyboard , with lots of practice I might be able to master this one day..
Thanks a lot! I have the Yamaha - PSR E353 and I bought also a sustain pedal.
I am left handed, the trickiest think is using both hands in the same time :D I suck, kinda but improving with practice, I learned the Ode to Joy from symphony no.9 till now :D
Haven't tried this one yet but now that I learned some notes and stuff, it looks kinda hard, maybe there is an easiest version.
How's the learning going?
Just saw your comemnt, hows the song going? Just curious fam :)
hows it going?, im going to try it now xD its so beautiful god
After 8 years, I finally mastered it. This song was the reason I even started playing the piano. I love the story behind it and the simplicity yet beauty of a single piece that can be warped into 2 other pieces that tells a different emotion each piece
after a couple weeks of practice and practice, i finally have the entire song done. JUST KEEP PRACTICING I BELIEVE YOU!!
It is such a Wonderful game that keeps the Comedy in it. For Example:
John: ''It's Called ''For River''.''
River: ''Why So Cliché?''
John: ''It's A Place Holder.''
It is a easy/simple yet beautiful song, that can take you into it's Void. It can make you forget everything, except for your loved ones. Nin, I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you have Uploaded This.
how on earth were the kids able to do that 0_0
There version was a far more simplified version but still impressive.
True true but then im also terrible at piano aswell...
It might sound cliche but practice really does make perfect
that's very true
that's why i love drawing so much :3
This song was composed by a 12 year old, it's really not that hard if you know how to read music
I want this song to be played at my funeral I'm not even joking that how much I love this song!
Personally, i've picked a song for that just before i heard this one masterpiece. And i remember the song of intouchables too.
Here, this one will be mine: ua-cam.com/video/J-f-4zJMqAw/v-deo.html
I wanna wear you
Thank you so much for transcribing this in the right key, you brilliant person. And the fact you added sheet music for it is so much better, thank you so much :')
One day, while walking in the bamboo forest, an old, childless bamboo cutter called Taketori no Okina (竹取翁?, "the Old Man who Harvests Bamboo") came across a mysterious, shining stalk of bamboo. After cutting it open, he found inside it an infant the size of his thumb. He rejoiced to find such a beautiful girl and took her home. He and his wife raised her as their own child and named her Kaguya-hime (かぐや姫 accurately, Nayotake-no-Kaguya-hime "princess of flexible bamboos scattering light"). Thereafter, Taketori no Okina found that whenever he cut down a stalk of bamboo, inside would be a small nugget of gold. Soon he became rich. Kaguya-hime grew from a small baby into a woman of ordinary size and extraordinary beauty. At first, Taketori no Okina tried to keep her away from outsiders, but over time the news of her beauty spread.
Eventually, five princes came to Taketori no Okina's residence to ask for Kaguya-hime's hand in marriage. The princes eventually persuaded Taketori no Okina to tell a reluctant Kaguya-hime to choose from among them. Kaguya-hime concocted impossible tasks for the princes, agreeing to marry the one who managed to bring her his specified item. That night, Taketori no Okina told the five princes what each must bring. The first was told to bring her the stone begging bowl of the Buddha from Nepal, the second a jeweled branch from the island of Hōrai,[3] the third the legendary robe of the fire-rat ofChina, the fourth a colored jewel from adragon's neck, and the final prince the cowriewhich was born from swallows.
Realizing that it was an impossible task, the first prince returned with an expensive bowl, but after noticing that the bowl did not glow with holy light, Kaguya-hime saw through his deception. Likewise, two other princes attempted to deceive her with fakes, but also failed. The fourth gave up after encountering a storm, while the final prince lost his life (severely injured in some versions) in his attempt.
After this, the Emperor of Japan, Mikado, came to see the strangely beautiful Kaguya-hime and, upon falling in love, asked her to marry him. Although he was not subjected to the impossible trials that had thwarted the princes, Kaguya-hime rejected his request for marriage as well, telling him that she was not of his country and thus could not go to the palace with him. She stayed in contact with the Emperor, but continued to rebuff his requests and marriage proposals.
That summer, whenever Kaguya-hime saw the full moon, her eyes filled with tears. Though her adoptive parents worried greatly and questioned her, she was unable to tell them what was wrong. Her behaviour became increasingly erratic until she revealed that she was not of this world and must return to her people on the Moon. In some versions of this tale, it is said that she was sent to the Earth as a temporary punishment for some crime, while in others, she was sent to Earth for her own safety during a celestial war. The gold that Taketori no Okina had been finding had in fact been a stipend from the people of the Moon, sent down to pay for Kaguya-hime's upkeep.
As the day of her return approached, the Emperor sent many guards around her house to protect her from the Moon people, but when an embassy of "Heavenly Beings" arrived at the door of Taketori no Okina's house, the guards were blinded by a strange light. Kaguya-hime announced that, though she loved her many friends on Earth, she must return with the Moon people to her true home. She wrote sad notes of apology to her parents and to the Emperor, then gave her parents her own robe as a memento. She then took a small taste of the elixir of life, attached it to her letter to the Emperor, and gave it to a guard officer. As she handed it to him, the feather robe was placed on her shoulders, and all of her sadness and compassion for the people of the Earth were forgotten. The heavenly entourage took Kaguya-hime back to Tsuki-no-Miyako (lit. "the Capital of the Moon"), leaving her earthly foster parents in tears.
The parents became very sad and were soon put to bed sick. The officer returned to the Emperor with the items Kaguya-hime had given him as her last mortal act, and reported what had happened. The Emperor read her letter and was overcome with sadness. He asked his servants, "Which mountain is the closest place to Heaven?", to which one replied the Great Mountain of Suruga Province. The Emperor ordered his men to take the letter to the summit of the mountain and burn it, in the hope that his message would reach the distant princess. The men were also commanded to burn the elixir of immortality since the Emperor did not wish to live forever without being able to see her. The legend has it that the word immortality (不死fushi?, or fuji) became the name of the mountain, Mount Fuji. It is also said that thekanji for the mountain, 富士山 (literally "Mountain Abounding with Warriors"), is derived from the Emperor's army ascending the slopes of the mountain to carry out his order. It is said that the smoke from the burning still rises to this day. (In the past, Mount Fuji was much more volcanically active.)
I took the time to read this and was not disappointed. I love Japanese lore.
Ninja Pi Productions I wrote this here because river is like kaguya and john the emperor.
and their connection with the moon
I really loved to the moon. most amazing story ever.
Nirodimos NeedAKing
cool story, really worth reading indeed
Ninja Pi Productions Since you enjoyed this lore, you would love playing Okami! Awesome game, it's for ps2 and there's a wii version, but I'd honestly stick with ps2 if you got :)
WWWWOOOOOWWWW! This story is amazing!
Damn those ninjas. Always sneaking onions around me.
just played this today for my performance in class :D
Same lul
This is just beautiful and amazing. It brings me to tears. It's a little challenging to play but I want to learn and play it for someone special to my heart.
where's the music sheet? I can't find any from the link you gave me
ima try and play dis song ^-^ sounds amazing.... and if you've seen Pewdiepie play the game. You'll most likely cry
“We can always regroup on the moon, silly...”
Anyone else here come here because of Markiplier?
music like this really makes me wish i could play the piano =\
Start playing
*MORE SPOILERS*
The part that I cried during was when they were showing all of Johnny's memories as River was being erased from them :'(
This music is wonderful. When i remember the game and this song i cry.
Listening to this masterpiece again this 2023 ❤
Came back to it this year, I’ll always remember when Markiplier played it, bro I cry literally every time. This game and music deserves everyone’s time lol
Same. Playing it myself for almost 10years now, still tears. Beautiful piece, the end is so signifikant. It misses a note and will do so forever. ❤
I came here because this song IS the Moon itself, lonely yet yearning, like a a wish. A wish is something one yearns for, a lonely desire, a single treasure. To The Moon!
Amen brotha
Excellent transcription!👍 I have learnt the piece and made a video of myself playing it thanks to your sheets!😊
Thank you so much for making this! Especially with the music sheet at the top.
I do not know how to read music sheets, but I have a keyboard and I am dying to learn how to play this beautiful song now that I have seen the game. This will be very helpful.
I must say, you are the first Comment I see that actually thanks Nin for making this! I am glad to see more people care, as it isn't a Easy Job! But I'm glad, and I'm sure you can learn how to read music sheets.
Phantomhive Theres some on Khan Acadamy.
Directions for To the Moon:
1. Play the game
2. Finish the game
3. Try not to cry.
4. Cry a lot.
But in all honesty, this piece is absolutely phenomenal. I can't help but find myself remembering the first time I heard this piece, or imaging what it would be like to be playing the piano for River as she's surrounded by her origami bunnies and with her toy platypus, sitting on that bed with her favorite book. Never before has a game moved me this way. Thank goodness Indie developers are around.
This song made me cry when I first herd it in pewdiepies video 😢
That video brought me here :)
If only Sebastian Michaelis can teach me how to play the Piano
Whoa WTF I commented something like this XD Lol I'm so random
+Mavis Valentini 😂😂😂
idkwhattonamemychannellol XD
Can I use the sheet music for a cover? I will give you credit ofc
ofc you can
Thx :)
Lindo, sempre me da vontade de chorar
Ana Paula Belarmino exatamente, quando eu aprender a tocar piano essa vai ser a primeira e.e
Melhor jogo que joguei na minha vida. Nn foi um jogo, foi uma experiência
I remember coming here years ago, and i mean years ago. I always come back to this when im really feeling life. I remember seeing someone comment saying they learned this song and would practice and play it for his mom and then one day she passed and now its “for mom”. I never got to learn how to play before my dad passed and i really wish i knew, i really wish i was able to give him that life that this give me.
Wherever you are in life man i hope youre doing okay, i think about your comment often. One day this song will be for dad, i promise
This is the only good verison of this song on youtube. All the others plays the cords way to hard
OMG . this piece took me 3 straight weeks to practice. cause im going to play this piece in my music class and i haven't fully mastered it yet. i hope ill play it perfectly . :) wish me luck guys . xD
+Agent x27 how was it
howd it go?
I never told anyone, but... I've always thought they were lighthouses. Billions of lighthouses... stuck at the far end of the sky.
Its sad because the last note is left out because......Johnny never did make it to the moon.
What a stupid theory.. that's a song made to be repetitive, that's why it doesn't have an end note.. and at the end (spoiler) there's a scene that show the life of johnny after he made it to the moon. So stop making disinformation
Moonwisher but it is all in his dream, he never made to the moon in real life. his memory was altered to show that
@@kiroshi5417 yes, that's sure. But he's saying that even in his dreams he didn't make it to the moon
@@SillyRiver83 but he died before the memory of the spaceship reached the moon, he died when the memory of John and River held hands, he never reached the moon in memory or real life right?
IF YOU WANT TO END IT NICELY, BUT STILL WITH A BIT OF DISSONANCE, THIS CHORD WILL DO NICELY:
Left: Db Ab Db(starting note for bottom in the beginning. Everything else is an octave lower)
Right: F Db F (the Db is the one just down from the last Eb you press)
I use it all the time, and it sounds great. :)
The way this song ends with a Eb/D# makes it so much sadder for some reason... ;__;
Fredrik Palmén technically E flat
kentor technically it's both
Eh, yes.
Happy now, are ya?
Lol yeah. It's just that important.
I'm just going to let out my internet idiot here and say." I cri everytime."
Must... Not... Cry...
This is when music in games are more beautiful than actual real life music
There was a paper rabbit. Its body was yellow, the rest of it was blue. ;___;
(I made one, I think there's a bowl of onions or something near me. I'm totally not crying.)
If any of you think this song is hard to play, your wrong. If you are or are not an anime fan, go check out Animez's channel. He composes the music himself after listening to the soundtracks. It's AMAZING.
no.. i mean, its amazing that Animez's can do that, but that doesn't mean this song isnt hard for some people to play..
DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK
chill
DICKS DICKS DICKS PUMP PILLOW DICK
More dicks. Dicks and Dicks and DICKS FALLING FUCK
To the Moon Steps : First you play the game. Then you search for the sheet music, play it. And then you do origami rabbits.
Simple but beautiful :)
Fantastic work. Plan on trying to get this down in a number of piano lessons if I'm lucky. I'm sure it's depth and the story attached to it deserve that much. Again, nice job :).
36 jamicans said 'dis i like'
One of my goals is learning to play this masterpiece. The game was just too emotional and brilliant to understand it without playing it.
What's weird is at the times the song escalated, it got brighter outside(sun escaped from clouds) and when it was calm, it got dimmer. My replay button is broken.
Just got done watching Markiplier play this game, and when I heard this song, I knew I had to learn to play it. Thank you for making this. It sounds great and will be generally easy to learn.
me too! i'm halfway now :D
I learnt it just over an hour on my grand x3
I'm learning it now!
me too! :) although right now, I'm almost able to play until 0:30
It's been 8 Fucking years and i still use this to cry myself to sleep
C# is so fun to play using all black keys
the key in this versión is writen in Db, not C#
Actually wat is the exact difference between C# and Db, just the notation on the sheet?
I so wish I could play this. Unfortunately, I am, right now, at least, unable to because of my sub-par motor skills. If anyone has any tips, then I'd love to hear them! Much love, Lorentz.
I recommend you practice one of the two parts with the corresponding hand to generate muscle memory in each, then try both at once, it should be enough. Best regards!
wow i love the game and i love this song so much
what I mean is the left hand note has a head start. It is played a little earlier than the right hand note.
*deeply inhales* this song= feels.
I'm actually holding on my emotiona hahaha
I learned it from this video, and every time I play 1:19 it feels so special...
yes😢
i love the soundtrack of "to the moon", does anyone know if I can find it on spotify ? 😍
+Banana Power Doubtful, that's the problem with spotify.
actually it is on Spotify
Even though I know all of the notes and can play this song on the piano, I know it won't ever be as beautiful as this. So gorgeous.
Just like the ending to the song, Johnny's dream is never truly resolved.
I think it is. She met with her in the moon. The real Johnny
Abel Garcia Nah, Johnny died before he got to the moon.
Dude they transfered the memory. They don't have to live through his whole life
Abel Garcia
I don't know man.
He got a very happy memory, but he didn't really get what he wanted.. I mean.. He wanted to go to the moon to reunite with River. His River. Instead they changed his whole life and replaced "his River" with the same River but with no mental condition. They changed the whole memory of his life and that wasn't what he wanted. he just wanted to go to the moon to see River one last time before he died, or go to the moon to be with River even in death.
I'm sure he would have appreciated his new memory tho, but honestly it wasn't what he wanted in the first place.
lol just ask people who made early comments on this video, most of them downloaded the score already
pewdiepie brought me here :)
I'm sorry to hear you got your experience with the game ruined.
***** Thank you
I didn't get my experience ruined.... Pewdiepie didn't ruin it. He didn't make that much jokes. And he looked sad in some parts, I could tell.
actually Cryaotic and Pewds brought me here. I recomend Cryaotic's play through better because his voice is so calming and he could react in an apropriate manner in some situations in the game. I could literrally fall asleep to the sound of his voice.
Is it possible of you can make it slower and without the music sheet?
eu quero aprender a tocar piano so pra tocar essa melodia
Sabrina Ellen,, somos 2
Somos 3... Uma melodia tão simples e tão repetitiva que consegue emocionar com uma facilidade incrível... Sem falar que combinou perfeitamente com o jogo. Kan Gao e Laura Shigihara são gênios!
because most people cannot comprehend things by themselves but through another one's perspective.
This music is affecting me a lot.
The way this song makes me feel... It's like the feeling I think love might feel like lol but I don't know if that's right I've never been in love 😭😂
This song just makes me want to cry😔
me too ;-;
Anyone here because of Jaiden Animations?
Very beautiful
thx so much for this!! i love learning songs Synthesia style! i personally think it is the easiest way to learn songs on piano!!! and i really wanted to learn this song!! :)
is this life?
This is love. This is life.
Essa música é perfeita, um dia quero aprender a tocar ela.
4,000 th subscriber :)
thanks
welcome!I like your vids too
***** Hey mate, any chance I could get the MIDI? I'm not so good at piano so I like to run it through a program that gives the notes which helps a lot.
***** I think its in the description mate
skye runez That's not a MIDI, that's sheet music.
The fact that the song doesn't end on a resolving note makes the game all the more sad :(
My feels!
I feel you
I love the game, the music and the story. It touches my heart everytime :) Im going to learn this.
I dont have one, I use reason refill to have the sound of that Yamaha c7
Hello friends. It’s been years but this song came into my head outta nowhere and now I’m re playing the game 7 years later. The feels will return!!
I record everything separately then merge all of them into one video. As you may see, the scrolling score is a different program, it's a little off sync with the sound, and the sound is not from synthesia either.
I finally can play the whole song! 😀
tbh, this game made me cry a lot. For real though, if you haven't played it yet, do it now.
Concerning sheet music:
Since this is the best arrangement of "For River" on the web, I went through the work of taking screenshots and merging them together for actual sheet music that can be printed.
I also scanned the resulting sheet music and transposed everything to a version without any flats which is easier to play.
You can download both versions here: mediafire(dot)com/?bal6nzid4e91v19
“你明年还会来这里吗？“
“当然。你呢？“
“是的。”
“老地点，老时间？”
“是的。”
“那如果你忘记了。。。或者走丢了呢？”
“那么我们总会在月亮上相遇的。傻瓜！”
lol, it's true. If I had one with me, I would practice real hard and upload live performances. I also replied on spambox about this.
Thank you for changing my life.
Imma buy a piano keyboard just for this.
Omg I love your account, I used to listen to your Alice’s mahoyo theme, like 7 years ago and then that’s how I found to the moon, which is now one of my fav games
When I’ve learned this song I can say I’m able to play piano
Anyone remember this song from Sqwizzix's occasional intros?
everytime I hear the end I imagine that heart monitor flatline...........it brings tears to my eyes T_T
The song has no ending note to it which it makes it even sadder. John and River never made it to the moon irl. John felt his life was incomplete for that reason so he had his memory changed and manipulated so he could find solace in his final moments.
halfway done learning it. beautiful, thank you so much. :")
story about the kid and the old man make the world cry ಥ_ಥ
if you mean the midi, I have no intention to share
I have the slight impression that compass 10 is a little uncorrect but still really well done ^^
Thanks for this! It helped me with my To the Moon Piano Medley (which is a video response for this video)! I couldn't figure out some parts on For River by ear, but this helped me iron them out ;) Thanks!
My keyboard doesn't sound the same. It's terrible. Sometimes I stop practicing because of this. I really want to play the song. I hope I'll do it despite the keyboard's sounds.
for those who say that video games are just blood and gore and senseless killing and in no way art, the should play to the moon. No video game has ever made me cry until i played this.
Try doing that blind folded. It's much more fun.
