The Neverending Story - Limahl. Instrumental Cover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This is my instrumental cover of The Neverending Story by Limahl, originally produced by Giorgio Moroder.
Check out my other covers from The Never-ending Story here:
• Ivory Tower: • The NeverEnding Story ...
• Bastian's Happy Flight: • The NeverEnding Story ...
I worked out all the individual parts by ear, and produced it inside Cubase 11 Pro.
The keyboards you see in this video are my Roland FP60 digital piano and Akai MPK249 MIDI controller.
Hope you like it.
Thanks for watching.
Julian
I just watched this movie again the other day on TV. Loved it, loved the song. But I always wanted the instrumental version, and this is the best one I've found. Thank you. ❤
Glad you like it! Thanks.
This is the music that's played in Heaven....
It has a proper 80s groove. Especially the dry drums.
genius sir its 1984 again and I m 13 years old Giorgio Moroder
would be proud!
Ive heard a lot of versions of never ending story…. And this is by far the best
Good job !
Wow! Just....wow! ❤
Sometimes you're lucky to have been a kid and heard this firsthand.
@@antoniocc6853 you're not wrong 🙂. I feel blessed to have been a kid back in the 80s.
absolutely amazing , i have watched this over and over , thank you for sharing your amazing talent .
Wow thanks Jeremy.

Master Croot... you are the best!!!
@@danielcolecionador thank you
Bravissimo !!!!!
Здравствуйте. Просмотрел почти все ваши видео на канале и мне очень понравилось ваше творчество. Спасибо большое вам за ваши труды. Вы дали окунуться в то волшебное время когда сказки были добрее и жизнь была не такой серой как сейчас. Ждём новых работ с нетерпением. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thank you. Yes the 80s was a magical time and I'm grateful for having been raised back then.
Lots more coming soon on the channel... Good to have you here. 👍
bravissimo!!!!
This is the best cover version of the arpeggiator synth I have seen. How did you do it? I heard something about a double arpeggiator?
Thanks 👍. I made this a long time ago now and I actually think the arpeggio part needs more work. It's ok, but it's still not right.
If I was to do it again now I'd do a better job.
I learned from my mistake when I made Ivory Tower which more accurately tracks the original arpeggio style.
Yes, the secret is two arpeggios (each slightly different) running in tandem so it creates a kind of chasing effect.
@@juliancroot I agree not exact but still the best of any attempt. Is it two separate voices or one voice being arpeggiated multiple times essentially?
@@karlknutzen4646 In this I used the same voice, but it should be different. You can hear it in my Ivory Tower how it should be set up... the left and right ear sound different. Admittedly its a different track, but its a better example of how it should be done.
my god Julian!! you're really a master!! congratulations!!
I'm inspired by great comments like this. Thank you very much for your kind words 👍
@@juliancroot you deserve everey sigle word i wrote my friend. We wait for you in Italy! You're Great.
Bravo excelente ❤️.
what a beautiful song ! You maked a perfect job ! Well done !
Thanks for watching. 👍
Большое спасибо! Вы заставили меня вспомнить и фильм и книгу из детства, хотя моё детство и пришлось на 90ые.
Absolutely Brilliant, enjoyed this so much.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing. Do you have the actual notes for the chords at the change? Yours is the only cover where the notes on the chords are spot on. Those little note changes really add the magic to this.
I've just uploaded a video in which I answer your question. ua-cam.com/video/Dw16Om4wI1U/v-deo.html
@@juliancroot wow fantastic thanks
I actually meant the chords at the change at 0:38 but what you showed is still helpful and more than kind! thanks@juliancroot
Well Done . 😁😁😁😁
makes me positive.
I love this tune, great instrumental, keep up the good work.
Great work
Amazing Julian, congratulations for that work and sound.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Multi talented indeed! 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
Very kind as always Eugene. Thank you.
Super
TY !!!! I just finisbhed mine in Garage band (way less accurate and dreamy) but i got your vibes 100%
Wow very cool
Encantadora, Hermosa.!!
Just came across this channel whilst searching for Rocky music . One word ….sensational 👍
Thank you very much for the kind words. So pleased you liked it.
I love that intro dance
semplicemente commovente
That drum beat is sick.
Perfect!!
YEAH!!!!!! You did it!!!! Another INCREDIBLE interpretation very faithful to the original, my dear friend (I could hear the words in my mind). Full of emotions just as I remembered... SUPERB!!!! Keep it up Julian, with your great music and your positive charge :) :) :)
It always makes me happy to see your comments, Kos. Thank you, and thanks for the kind words as usual.
@@juliancroot :) :) :)

I love this song and you can add with the singing the text "Turn round we have in dream story. the neverending story" do you know the text of this music but thi is the best beatfull impression.
I Like your job. Just like me.
Do you do the Back to the Future or Lion Guard song? and Knight Rider? and many movie with nice song and you can upgrade to new level of you.
Nice, thanks.
Cheers Steve 👍
It s a best cover of Neverending story! What play in arpeggio? Can you play it alone? its a best perfect arpeggio what i know
Thanks. I actually didn't get it quite right here, but its still not just one arpeggio, but two! The double arpeggio trick is one I've noticed Giorgio Moroder used in a few of his popular productions.
I got it right in my cover of 'Ivory Tower', and I think I'd do a better job with neverending story if I did it again.
I couldn't tell you exactly what i did in this as it was a while a go now, but try playing the second arppeggio as a 'first inversion' of the first... i.e. move the root note of the chord to the top, and the second note to the root. It creates an interesting 'chasing' type of effect, which is why its so difficult to follow by ear.
20世紀でもっともヒットソング。
What is the Arpeggio pattern? Is it automated up and down or written in? I'm interested in getting this Arp style. Thanks.
Everybody asks this... It's two arpeggios working together. Giorgio Moroder seams to have used this technique in a few tracks (it's more obvious in Ivory Tower).
I can't remember what I did with this exactly but I didn't get it quite right here and would do it differently if I were starting again.... But you won't get the feel of it with one arpeggio, you need two.
I'd wish you would post which VST plugins/ synths you use on each song, which give us others inspiration :)
💪👍🙏🎧✨🎹💯
Hi Julian ! Very cool !! How did you create the Arpeggio , is this a regular Arp pattern or did you create by yourself ? Many greetings !
Hi, I created it myself but it was very difficult to figure out and I know its still not quite right.
I used 2 parts together and arpeggiated both of them slightly differently, then tweaked the chord inversions throughout the song so neither part went too high or low.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching :)
@@juliancroot dont worry about it , most people didn't even know what a arpeggio is ! ;) great work anyways !
Hi amazing job! I have a question what is the structure of the arpeggio?
Hi and thank you.
The Arpeggio here is actually two arpeggiators in tandem.. Each set slightly differently to get that 'chasing' effect.
To me it's still not quite right but I must've made it reasonably convincing as you're not the first to ask.
If I get chance this evening, I'll do a live stream music production Q&A session and include this.
@@juliancrootthanks, i will see then
Looks like nobody did this comment. But i will.
Lyrics:
Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams
Make believe I'm everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a never ending story, ah
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story, ah
Story, ah
Show no fear
For she may fade away
In your hand
The birth of a new day
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story, ah
Never ending story, ah
Never ending story, ah
Never ending story, ah
Great cover as usual, what choirs have you used for the lead melody?
From memory (this was a while ago now) I used a combination of the basic choir patch on my Roland FP60 digital piano, and one from ReFx Nexus.
It's nothing special, and I'd probably do something a bit different if I was to do it again.
Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for watching.

Hey, where is THE CAT, Charlie
@@sidneyhansen2299 currently having his breakfast 😆.
He says hello.
Bingo
MPK the worst keyboard of all time. I don't know why it still works for you. AKA a disaster
@@ilmonello1969while it's not great for emotional performances .....the black keys are too short...I use my Roland FP60 for that, it's great for synth lines as it has after touch, and lots of controllers.
Never had a problem with mine.
@@juliancroot As always I was unlucky with AKAI:
- Not al Keys work
- The keyboard changes tuning suddenly.
I will make a video where I throw the MPK AKAI from the 4th floor of my apartment.
Anyway I use a Komplete Kontrol 88 keys as master.
I would say perfect.
@@ilmonello1969 komplete 88 is great. I have 2 mpks and have no problem with either.
Sorry you had problems... Maybe I've been lucky. Dunno.
Love it 🤩
I like this track. But can you create a groovier, more powerful version? Please also ask @RoyZivMusic if he can play his fantastic e-guitar over this tune, that would be awesome 😊👌
