I do not own this song, nor the image. I am fully complacent with any requests made by C418 to remove this video, and I do not condone the download of this video, which UA-cam has prohibited.
Please support C418 by visiting his site and purchasing his music:

Feel free to give a little extra :), C418 tries hard to make this amazing music.

This should be heard in the world sometimes once you beat the end, after the credits, for people who still want to explore their world as maybe a goodbye..
JC7146 damn, that sprung a leak in my eye..
Yes
maybe less of a goodbye, and more of a "thank you"
My eyes are sweating now.
Wow, now I'm crying....
The fact that he recorded himself playing the piano (you can hear him breathing and humming) makes it so much more human and so much more emotional than if it was just a piano track. Excellent job, C418.
I am guessing that it's a MIDI piano track with a separate recording of humming. It definitely makes the feels, regardless.
I must say that you can also hear him hitting keys on the MIDI keyboard. I thought the recording was at a separate time from the MIDI track, but you can hear him pressing them. This song was sequenced - at least partially - live. He must have had headphones on to hear what he was playing and keep out feedback...
That's so interesting that someone recorded that way. C418 is a musical genius, the more I listen to his stuff.
+The Epic Teatime He actually breathes emotion into his songs instead of pumping out albums like "real musicians"
Man, I wish I could make music like him. C418 can weave so many emotions into one song, or many. I would never have even imagined doing something like this, something this complex, and yet he can.
I admire this man
@@stupidrainbo and it sounds like he was playing Minecraft before playing this song because you can hear a pig snort in the background before hitting his first set of notes
Edit: sorry guys im stupid, the sound is just him adjusting a knob on his keyboard
this song feels nostalgic and ive never even heard it before
Same.

Well now u know it
And it is nostalgic

Come back here after 3 years and it will be

I thought I was the only one who’d come back while playing sometimes to hear this
Still better than todays tiktok cringy songs

"We didn't know we were making memories.. we were just having fun."
"If only we could cherish those moments.. just a little longer."

I just want to say that you just made me cry. You reminded me of the fun times we used to have with my dad. He unfortunately died of cancer in 2016. And yes indeed we didnt know that we were making memories, we were just having fun.

Same, idk what it is, it like makes me feel so many different emotions at once but that's the more prominent one
Well, that's what we call nostalgia.
Ironic that a song called "Intro" is the last track in the album...
RIP
EnderStar501 ikr...
WHY .-. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's the intro to the ending.
The start of something new.
The start of the player waking up from the dream.
Ok sorry lol that was my interpretation
@@knotthensa159 WHAAT!?
This song shows pure emotion 100%. Too bad it wasn’t in game, it’s by far the best.
This song is good, but I think Alpha is the best song so far. Alpha feels like it belongs in a fucking movie, it's simply a masterpiece. It's nostalgic, happy, fast-paced, sad, dramatic, deep and memorable. One of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. Thank you C418. For making my childhood so much better :)
@@Lubin-md4ml Both songs are good in their own ways, Intro being a tearjerking masterpiece while Alpha being an emotional rollercoaster and a masterpiece
@@Lubin-md4ml i think it is in the game as nether music
❤
I first heard it in the game, upon discovering that this both exists and wasn't added (and then grabbing a resource pack that rectifies the issue).
This comment will never be seen, but this piece makes me cry. There is something so beautiful in it to me that it makes me think about my entire life, about what I have already lived, and what I will live. This is one of my favorite musical pieces, thank you C148.
Happy new year
It's been three years since you sent this comment.
I saw it.
And i relate.
Happy Near year
you are seen, you are loved, and we love C418 too
Same man happy new year
I'm just gonna go say something slightly embarrassing.
So this is the first song in my life that made me cry,
I don't know exactly why, maybe it's because I grew up with this game, maybe because he hit just the right notes, probably both.
But this song, the first time I heard it, which was in a full soundtrack playlist. I had to stop and close my eyes just to properly listen to it.
This song is the first, and last song till date that I actually found so fucking beautiful that tears formed in my eyes.
Hope you see this!
It isnt embarrassing to find a song that resonates with you! Some say the first soundtrack that makes you tear up is the one song that represents who you are! Anyway, hope you have a good journey in life!
I felt the exact same way. Although I didn't cry when I heard this the first time, I burst into tears listening to it the second or third time. This song really resonates with me in that way, and I'm glad to see someone who feels the same way.
1004bjorn you probably will cry because this was a part of your child hood and will always stick to you but the song will make you really remember em moments
Callmecarson’s last SMP live video brought me here and I have never cried to a song like this one. It didn’t just make me happy for the memories that I made from playing the game and Carson’s show, it made me realize how important all of it was, how it helped shape who I am. And i agree with you, this song brought it out in me too, as the keystrokes slowly faded in with that majestic nostalgic tone followed by emotionally captivating humms, filling the song with life and memories. I love it.
And even though all the internet may claim that other things are more important and evoke more emotion, this song will always be a moment were I can look back and be happy for what was forgotten, always come back to these things, as memories are faint, but links are always there
keep crying
I would say the same, i grew up with Minecraft and with this album. Overall, C418's has done a lot for me in appreciating music and till this day I always come to his music some. The few song that i really feel personal attachment (and cry) to are mostly from him. He's and incredibly talented dude and it's nice seeing people recognizing that.
"See you next time!"
Please don't make me cry

this is the song that would play if you were in space slowly floating into oblivion as oxygen is running out and all your memories are flashing before you
thats a good explanation

There's no sound in space though.
@Kaiden Bird That's false. He hears stupid JoJo fanboys talking about nothing but JoJo 24/7.
...Among Us? xD
Thats gunna be funny instead of emotional.
I just lost my dad today and when I saw him I was in so much shock that I didn't even cry, I couldn't cry even though I wanted to. Then, I started listening to music to calm myself down but when this song started, I started bawling my eyes out. I haven't cried this hard before. This song, along with all of the nostalgia that it holds will never fail to make me cry whenever I listen to it.
I'll miss you dad.
Rest in peace..

This is going to be the song that I'll play on New Years. An intro to a new year.
Who would have thought that someone who has been listening to this track from 2023 to 2024 would write a comment under this one. Magic...
wish i had remembered this song existed for new years, would've been a fantastic way to start the year. still have the privilege of listening to it anyway, though.
So many people bash on simple 4 chord patterns, saying they're generic and carry no emotion. This song has a simple 4 chord pattern.
The repeating four-chord pattern does make this piece feel generic and repetitive. However, it somehow also carries huge amounts of emotion.
Im no music expert, but this makes me remember Deltarune chapter 2, ferris wheel scene, it has this very simple music, 8 bit, like 7 notes in total, yet so happy and honest, i never liked that type of music...(i used to think it was too simple and boring) But that song had something special, just like this one.

"I knew that all this world is, all this games is, is just cleverly constructed sequence of 1s and 0s but I knew that. In a way, it's a part of me. This world is something that i will always hold dear to my heart. It's a window into the past, a reflection of the kid I was. It's just been sitting here, on the Xbox 360 unchanged since 2013, when I logged out for the last time. Minecraft the game is changing, Minecrafts audience has changed a long time ago. The only thing that's has really stayed static about it, has been the music. You put me in some random world I've never explored, you can add weird new items i'll never know how to use. But to me, it's not really minecraft until that music starts fading in. And I'm pulled back into a world when, nothing really mattered. When everything was easy. And when.. I was happy."

What a beautiful song. C418 really is a musical genius.
YOU! I know you probably won't get this but where do you find those profile pics, I want one.
Daniel Wiseman Me? My friend and I made it ourselves. :)
Oh, well I've seen Notch have one on his twitter profile and thought that you get them from a site.
Daniel Wiseman Nope! I think they made theirs as well (or someone made the pics for them). We actually drew inspiration from Notch's, C418's, and Alexander Bruce's profile pictures.
Ah, well thanks for clarifying :)
This song reminds me of not just minecraft, but of everything I've been through in my life.
Which shows that this isn't music
This is a whole-nother artform
Music is a form of art.
1) it's woooosh. 4 Os.
2) it (probably) wasn't a joke so the sound of the joke flying over someone's head doesn't work.
3) it's annoying as fuck why do you do that

MUSIC IS ART . GO BACK TO THE SCHOOL
Amen! Amen!

This is the masterpiece that reminds you of your past.
Dude I feel nothing but chills listening to this rn. If I had to pick a song to describe "a goodbye," this would be it.
“Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them from living.”
- Minecraft
Listening to this song and remembering this quote got me thinking and realizing a lot of shit that I think goes about everyone’s life once in a while which is “What’s the point?” But I think that must be exactly what life is you know? There is no point to it but at the same time that doesn’t mean you can’t make it have a point. Just like in Minecraft you create a new world; vast and empty. It has no purpose. No meaning. Just simplicity. Much like life if you look at it through a narrow scope. But then you fill that with people you love. You fill it with laughter, sadness and anger. Then all of a sudden life itself starts to bloom with much more meaning. You realize things that you wouldn’t have had you not thought about it before. Just like at this moment. If you are reading this then that would mean that you and I are alive and breathing at the same time. And strangely a game had brought you and I to meet at this very source. Now it may seem strange really but think about it isn’t that just beautiful? Life as a connection? A way to connect without any wire? It’s strange and meaningless but at the same time it makes it so much more.
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know why I’m still writing this but whoever you are I want you to know that the universe is listening to you. We’re all made of love. So if you’re giving up or questioning things just take a look around once in a while. Your answer is just around you. Your answer is you. Life is just a game made of ones and zeroes.
But you are the player.
Edit: I can’t believe this comment got attention. I wrote this when I was going through a really bad time in my life; I even attempted taking my own life. I wrote this as a way to ground myself. To understand that things are the way they are because it just is but it’s not permanent. I’m sure all of you have had your moments, lost a loved one, felt alone, been rejected, outcasted, ridiculed, etc. I don’t want to lie to you and tell you that it will end. But rather, there will be a time where everything clicks and you’ll find yourself at the bridge of many pathways. And whichever path you choose; you can never go back. If your are young and reading this; live. Don’t stop living. Don’t stop running. Don’t stop laughing. Don’t stop feeling what it means to live. And if you’re older; accept. Accept that life just is. Accept the end will come. Accept that they won’t be the one. Accept they will be the one. Accept that life is magnificent.
But most importantly; hold on to the ones that you know you need to hold on too. At this time, especially in this very divided time, it is important we learn that time is being wasted. Valuable people are being lost. And in doing so, we are becoming lost as well. Be considerate. Be courageous. Be the you that you aspired to be; not what society or people told you to be. You are the only thing that is true and real.
You are all loved. I love you.
Thank you for this comment.
I love scrolling down to comments when listening to music and reading comments that make me tear up :')
Oh my gosh thank you that was beautiful 😭 I love the MC community
thank you, i needed to hear that right now, lots of bad stuff has been happening in my life
@RebelCraft imagine your body just jolting awake in a different bed, a different lie that was tangled in a nightmare. Memories of this like are coming back to you, friends and family in the game are all made up characters of your worst aspects of yourself everything you want to change yet you love them so much. You don’t want to change. You don’t want to go. You don’t want to grow up.
@@Skunksio same
When i hear this song i have two very distinct feelings:
1) I feel it symbolizes that moment when you grow out of Minecraftand head towards the REAL world (*SPOILER* like the game's ending tells you) Leaving Minecraft behing to spread your wings.
2) When you have a new chapter in life and you have to adapt anew and leave behind many things, like going to university.
In the end, both things relate with the description that C418 gave to the song, "See you next time."
most haven't seen the ending probably, and if they did they laughed at it and called it gay or some shit. They can't appreciate a game for what its supposed to be, but instead on how to make it a voilence fest, where the only focus is "FIGHHHHTTT *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*"
Well intro is placed right at the end of the album so both are good interpretations.
You misunderstood the end credits
@@coltonelliott7148 true. Cesar Quinones needs to see MatPat's video on that.

It's 5 am and i've just listened to the 2 albums.
Those few hours... i don't remember much. It was just serinety and calmness. It just reminded me of times when I used to have friends... those times when i would come back home from school, turn on an old toshiba laptop that was good enough to run minecraft, login to my skype account and with my friends would play on minecraft servers. It's just this kind of weird fog that covers those memories, being strong, yet vague and that's what brings me the slightest reason to exist anymore. I should thank people who crafted minecraft, including C418. You guys crafted my and many people's childhoods.
Thank you.
EkulMilz Am I lucky that I'm still a kid and I have had Minecraft for a long time
My first experience with minecraft is on my PlayStation3 and I have this old survival world that got the name changed and my friend played with me after school on the exact same world now my friend has moved now, so now i have no one to play any thing with me.
if this was reddit, you, and so many other people would get so many awards
Bro you just stated me. I had my friends live across my house, and i'd get home from school, log into my skype account and play minecraft on hours without end. I had a toshiba computer aswell. Man thanks for unlockin my memories

A tribute to Minecraft quote
I think I get it now. The entire reason this song is called intro, yet it is the final song in the album, is because this isn't the intro to mincraft, this is the transition from Minecraft to real life. It's telling you that *THIS* is the start of everything you do in your life from then on. Because there are endless amounts of Minecraft worlds, but at the end of the day... There's only one real world... And it's waiting for you to explore it.
Well this is basically a simplified minecraft ending
thats an interesting way to put it
Yes, this has a wakeup feeling in it. Like the night's ending, the sun is rising, you put an end to one phase in your life and start the next one.
It is after you got that chance, and you partied all night with your friends about it, these are are all other songs. But there always then comes this moment of true realization, where you sit outside, I like thinking watching the sun rise in this case, realize the true meaning of that, just stare into the emptiness, the rest of the night that is slowly giving way to the warmth of the first rays of the day, while you are transitioning mentally to be another person.
You completed the short dream of the game. Now wake up to the long dream of life.
You're afraid? Why?
You did good the first time... and _the rules are the same._
”Tempting, isn’t it? Just stay here, close our eyes, forget everything… …But this is *nothing* compared to the real world. This is just a fancy prison that we’ll rot in! I wan’t to feel *alive* again, even if it means i *die* a minute later…” -the voice, furi
This isn't just music.
This is life.

im 14 and this is deep.
It's 2021 now. It's been so long since then... the time I played Minecraft. My escape from reality when things went wrong, my happiness, my home. Minecraft isn't just a game. It was my childhood. When I look back I see everything I have accomplished. My builds, achievements, and friends. Even when I watched my favorite UA-camr's like DanTDM or Stampy... they raised me. And when I returned to Minecraft everything felt right again. Like I was a kid just playing around. I'd do anything to go back to feel how I felt back then.

We mined our last diamonds.
Found our last villagers
Had our last laugh with our long gone friends.
But one thing will remain the same: the music. The one thing that holds all of our memories together. We gather here today to cherish our past days, long gone. What's so sad about this song is the fact that we cannot go back to the bliss we once had. No-one can actually experience the sadness you felt when you heard this song after a few years. So don't be sad that it's gone. Be glad that it happened :)
Those final words bring me back to when it first started, little to nothing to go off of just spawned and do....You. Minecraft wasnt a game to many, but an escape from the real world s problems, and with that i say "Dont be sad its gone, Be glad it happend." Wise words my friend.

I cried. Not cause I was somber or sad, but cause that humming, these notes, they were whispering to me both the magic and horror of life. When I cried listening to this, I was saying both "thank you" and "fuck you" to the universe. It felt like a moment of liberation for the soul. A catharsis.

"Next door, the house of an old friend I haven't spoken to since middle school"
ok, I think I got it :
The beginning represents someone beginning their journey to wherever he wants to be. then, after seeing his hopes and dreams crushed, his faith begins to fade. the part where he starts humming and the ambiance kicks in represents his mix of emotions he experiences as he sees the light at the end of the tunnel. and when it goes back to static? that represents his senses coming together as he is finally... free.
Really nice way to put it man.
Most C418's tracks give me a really overwhelming sense of optimism and freedom, but hey, I liked your view on it!
one of the best explaination of track. made me even more covered in tears.
C418 can hit people in their feels good
I actually never played minecraft, but I was always interested in the soundtrack. I found this song at a rough point in my life and it just felt like it was depicting my feelings and loneliness through the piano chords. This song is just utterly beautiful on so many levels.
You should play it mate, it's a wonderful game :D
The full script of jschlatt's A Tribute to Minecraft, with a few mistakes of course:
The last time you clicked on a minecraft video was probably like 5 years ago. Don’t worry, i’m in that camp too. I’d rather watch paint dry than watch another hunger games lets play. My name is Schlatt, and today we’re gonna talk a bit about how a stupidly simplistic sandbox became my favorite game. Where I think it took a turn in the wrong direction, and why even after all the new changes, even after how god-awful the community’s become, and even after...mine...coins? There’s still a soft spot for it in my heart. Minecraft came out for the Xbox 360 on May 9th, 2012. Coincidentally, that was the day that 12 year old Schlatt found his new favorite game. Remember Bionicles? Yeah I had more than you did, so naturally a game where you could build whatever you wanted was right up my alley. And the 360 release of minecraft was a barebones version of an already barebones game. It was charmingly simple, dropping you into a world with no real instructions or goals. There wasn’t much to do. But things you could do, the game nailed. Combat was straightforward and fun, especially with a group of friends. Building stuff was almost therapeutic, and the quiet times spent mining in preparation for what was to come. That space to organize your thoughts and plan out your next move, all the while being serenaded by those faint piano melodies in the background. That was the icing on the cake. I was in love with this game. It let me be creative, adventurous. You could do with everything around you what you pleased. And to this day some of my fondest gaming memories have come from open world games like that. Day., GTA4, Sakura Beach… W-wait Every day i’d hop off the bus, throw myself on the couch and log back in. There was only one world I played on. I wanted to be the only of my friends that played on two, so I crammed as much cool shit on there as I could. I built minecarts, Mob traps, I exploited this duplication glitch and built a diamond house out of diamond blocks. Listen. I was a perfectionist. And this world had to be perfect. Or else all I would have been doing was wasting away in front of a TV every day. But even after the countless hours I pumped into minecraft, I was still pretty ass at building. So I started watching other people play to figure out what I could do or build to make my world a little better. And as a result, I found an entire new avenue of the game. I was never a huge fan of lets plays. My introduction to the genre was...well…loud. Even back then was a screaming contest. And even though I was twelve, that kind of stuff just didn’t sit well with me. I felt myself gravitating towards more reserved and laid back youtubers like Monkeyfarm, who in the let’s play space was a breath of fresh air. He took a very methodical approach to building, and his videos were more about that process rather than about him. And as I watched more videos, I eventually found my way into modded Minecraft through these two guys, Sips_ and Shin_. They were the quieter side of the Yogscast, and even though they both sucked at the game, it was hilariously fun to watch them dick around and trying to figure things out. These boys were the perfect lets play combo, and their SipsCo series where they automate the process of dirt collection is single handedly responsible for my foray into Tekkit. Tekkit was a different beast altogether. A collection of technology-oriented mods that looked like minecraft, but offered an entirely new way to play the game. If you didn’t like mining, you didn’t have to do it. You could build one of these things and it’d dig for you. If you didn’t like building, well guess what. Anything you wanted to do could be done with the right machines, and it led to some pretty incredible stuff. Tekkit’s charm wore off quickly, though. After the sipsco series ended, I found myself getting bored with mods, and gradually, I made my way back to Vanilla. But the charm was gone here, too. I tried to put my feelings into words on the Minecraft forum, and I left an extremely controversial post. I feel like minecraft is becoming too complicated. I liked it the old way better. Now there’s weighted pressure plates and these sun things. I still don’t know how to use anything from that redstone update. Why is everything becoming more complex? I thought minecraft was popular for it’s sipmlicity (or at least that’s why I liked it). I think I summed it up pretty well. I had stopped playing with mods because I preferred that simplicity - and with each new update and each round if new items and gameplay mechanics added to the base game, I felt like minecraft wasn’t minecraft anymore. So that begs the question… what is Minecraft? For me, minecraft is not knowing how to play Minecraft. It’s generating that first world and thinking to yourself “what next?”. It’s standing at the the foot of a massive ravine. Minecraft is that dirt hut you built on the first night. The memories I cherish the most from this game are from when I had no idea what I was doing. They’re from when the game was simple, and when my life was simple, too. Because back then, there was nothing to worry about. School was a joke, I didn’t have to study to do well. I didn’t have any commitments… pretty much all of my free time was spent playing video games. And it was enjoyable. I didn’t have a future to worry about. I was only just beginning to realize I liked making videos, and that was only because of an uncle in the field who continued to encourage me. Looking back, I suppose the simplicity of my seventh grade life coincided pretty well with the simplicity of Minecraft. And as I got older, and I gradually figured myself out, what I enjoyed doing, what my hobbies were, what I wanted to do later in life, Minecraft got older, too. At the end of the day, I didn’t know if it was my maturation or Minecraft’s maturation that started pushing me away, but ever since 2013, the game just hasn’t felt the same. Until in a moment of reflection, and tranquility, that soft piano music starts fading in. And the warm melodies I’ve come to know all too well over the years invite me back into a world I’ve missed for so long. C418’s Minecraft: Volume Alpha. I know nothing about music theory, and i’m not gonna pretend like I do, but there’s something about it. Maybe it’s the simple piano of Dry Hands, maybe it’s the quirkiness of subwoofer lullaby, or maybe it’s not actually the music at all. Because when I heard these songs the first time, they didn’t blow me away. I didn’t instantly fall in love with the soundtrack. But the soundtrack is the only thing that hasn’t changed since I loaded up the game for the first time. To me, these songs are timeless. And when they start playing, just for a moment, I feel like I’m twelve again, playing on that same world I always used to. The music is what brings back all those memories. It brings back Minecraft. Today, the Xbox 360 sits quietly on my dresser. To it’s right, a hacked Wii with the Homebrew channel on it. Before I got into Minecraft, I used to spam infinite items in Mario Kart and just make the race a living hell for anyone in it. And yes, that is actually me playing the game, recording the analog TV with a camera on a tripod. I know, it was bad. But I had to start somewhere, and that was it. To its left, a macbook pro that weighs more than I do. A parting gift from my uncle, who lost his fight to cancer in 2013. He was the one who got me into making videos in the first place, and god knows where I’d be without him. They’re all dusty, but they’re all still plugged in, hooked up to a TV that hasn’t been on for a while. And that world is still there, too. So I decided to go back in. For the first time in half a decade, I turned on the Xbox. I spawned in my wooden house, the first thing I ever built in minecraft. I made my way past the dozen or so dogs I had bred, and I went outside, and saw the first ever mob trap I had ever tried building. I don’t think I ever got that one working. Next door, the house of a friend I hadn’t spoken to since middle school. Above it, a “floating island” that I spent days trying to make. A little up the hill, the second attempt at a mob trap, which I think I got working at some point, and the entrance to a minecart rail that went on for miles. Underground, into caves, over the water, it was insane. The magnum opus of the entire world. And slowly but surely, Sweden faded in. And I just started crying. They weren’t sad tears, they weren’t tears of joy, I wasn’t overwhelmed, I...I don’t know. I knew that all this world is, all this game is, is just a cleverly constructed sequence of 1’s and 0’s, but I knew that in a way it’s a part of me. This world is something that I will always hold dear to my heart. It’s a window into the past, a reflection of the kid I was. It’s been waiting here, unchanged since 2013, when I logged of the 360 for the last time. Unchanged since I started to become the man I am today. Minecraft, the game, is changing. The only thing that’s really stayed static about it, has been the music. You can put me in some random world I’ve never explored. You can add weird new items i’ll never learn how to use. But to me, it’s not minecraft until that music starts fading in, and I’m pulled back into a world where nothing really mattered, where everything was easy, and when, well, I was happy.
Thank you
Gives me the chills, every time.
And songs don't do that to me. Tells you how good this one is.
Me too
This is just. Wow. I have never heard such beautiful music in the history of music. This is something that just makes me want to cry. Keep up the good work, C418!

we miss you techno
you were one hell of a guy who always managed to make my days better. my past few years have been made so much better because of you. we'll never forget you, it's the least you deserve.
god definitely hesitated.
This is the saddest song in the entire minecraft soundtrack, genuinely one of the only songs that ive cried to
Definitely is. It gives me a real weird unexplainable sadness
I'm writing this comment to simply thank C418. Although I've listened to this song on multiple occasions, this time was different. (Warning: This comment is a little preachy and/or angsty, however I hope it doesn't come off as anything too cringy.) Right now I'm away from home with my mother's side of the family. This all came to be because my Grandfather was about to die and we wanted to be there. We drove into town, stayed at the hospital for a few hours, went back the next day and waited. Hours passed. My grandpa lay there, his breathing getting more shallow and his blood pressure dropping. It wasn't until about 5:45 PM when his quick breaths became large gasps. We all surrounded his bed as he failed to get in oxygen. Everyone in the room started to cry as my grandpa's breathing got worse and worse. And then, peacefully, his breathing stopped. My hand was on his chest. His mouth curled until it was shut. His eyes remained open, staring at us blankly. Our nurse took his pulse. Nothing. After years of suffering, it was all over. I couldn't help but cry. We all packed our bags while the nurse called for the medics to take the dead body away. I went to a family member's house for the night and slept. This brought me to today, when luckilly, the emotional trauma had worn off. I went about my day normally for a while, up until the point where I wanted to listen to some music. This song came to mind almost immediately. I pulled it up and listened, expecting tears to roll down my face while I thought about the death of my grandpa... yet that didn't happen. I was somehow soothed, freed by this song. The title manages to describe the situation so well. It's the intro to a new phase of not only my life... but my grandpa's. RIP James Albert Ballard, July 14th 1939 - July 9th 2018. May God bless you in Heaven as you have blessed us on Earth.
Bless him.

It’s almost been a year... dang.
Ah.
Good luck on the future
This song sounded sad
still seven
No shit
Equivalent of saying “Hmm yes this floor is made of floor”
If anything this shows how much minecraft changed and is one of the biggest games out there....
And a year to that day, this game still amazes me.. Especially with the new snapshots..
TheDarkness0ne you didn’t know the half of it, now you do
Until this very day, Minecraft is still very very very relevant and still the biggest game in the world
@@securecomic9823 It's changed a lot from the simple game it used to be.. and people try to argue that more doesn't mean better, I like to argue with this game that more does actually make it better.. it gives more for people to do instead of running around trying to figure out what to do.. and the latest updates prove that by giving us more to explore and gather..
@@TheDarkness0ne I totally agree with you :)
Imagine this for a moment: If you beat the Ender Dragon, and head back home, you'll get a Music Disc of this song in your inventory. It is a special disc, as it plays no matter how far away from the Jukebox you might be, and will speed up time so that there is a perpetual sunset.
But there's a catch. When it finishes playing, the screen fades out, and that's it. You can't play in that world anymore. No observing, no interacting with the settings of the world, it just ends.
You can always decide not to play it, or you can decide to cut it short. But if you are truly ready to move on from that world and move onto the next, then you would have that sweet 4 minutes and 45 seconds to just realise how far you've come, all the things you've done in that world, and you can choose what to do with that precious time.
You can say goodbye to the dogs and cats you may have tamed. You can walk around to see all of the things that took you so long to build. Or you can find a place to just look at it all, and watch as the warm sun shines over everything. And as the screen slowly fades to black, all that you are left with are the cherished memories.
Dude… why you gotta make me cry…
THIS
Please.
The world deleter disk
genius idea
It makes this track so much sadder to think it was the last track on C418’s last album for MC
What about 1.13 soundtrack?
He made the 1.13 soundtrack.
Oh you’re right. Thought that was Lena Raine
Minecraft isn’t just a game. It’s a gateway out of our screwed up world, and into a brand new one.
Everytime i listen to this music i feel like i float like a feather, on a green river ...... peacefully...
Youssra Zegrani I imagine the world being destroyed, and seeing the last few spaceships carrying the last few thousand humans find a new planet. Then, that planet is destroyed, and only one human remains. That human then sets out to find a new home, and new friends. After he thinks he has given up, an Alien appears, and makes clones of every human thar died during the destruction of our world. Then the Alien's species find the humans, and ally with them. This results in a beautiful friendship and both species prosper to the end of time.
Its so difficult to understand how a simple game brought so many people together and changed their lives. Minecraft isnt just a game. It evolved into a stepping stone in our lives and it will remain as an influence not only for our friends but for memes for billions of years to come.
Thanks C418 and Notch. For creating something that was small but had a ginormous impact.
Xoxo,
Every Fan

Imagine if this played once you returned after beating the Dragon. It’s so calming & reassuring. “You’ve done it.”
Let's be real the enderdragon battle does it a disservice
C-418 is by far, one of the best music producers in my book. Like, the fact that this song made, not just me but multiple people tear up shows how emotional and touching he could make music. Honestly, I feel bad for those who haven’t or never discovered him. But I hope that the generations to come will one day find c-418’s work and enjoy it like we first did
People are going to make fun of me because I play a great game.
it’s the toxic clickbaiters that take this piece of art, and turn it into something terrible, something that the creators of this game never wanted it to be seen as. It’s seen as a stupid game that little kids play. I’m not a little kid. Even if I was, so what? I enjoy a beautiful game. I don’t care about playing the newest and trendiest games, those games will die in an instant. There just isn’t that same spark there, that special feeling you get when you open the game up. You can only feel that in this game. This game isn’t dying, the point of view of this game is changing.

Friend, it no longer is like that anymore. As of 2019, the beauty of Minecraft has shined brightly once more and now it's finally getting the praise it deserves.
@@SkyanUltra it is. but its too late. the game has changed. its not what it used to be, its only something thats trying to be. its a former reminder of a great game, but as soon as you play it now its different. they've added so many unnecessary things. you can see this as something good, new content to make the game last longer, but how the game was, it was perfect. now not having played thegame in quite some time, and coming back is jarring. but you can still generally play the game how it used to be. though it wont be completely the same.
@@gforbidden Listen, you can complain about how the new Minecraft is bad and all, i'm not going to change that. But what you may find unecessary could be incredibly useful for another person. Lots of people bring this point up when they talk about old MC being better, but Minecraft is simply trying to stay true to it's goal of being a sandbox game and adding more stuff to play around with. Lots of people didn't like command blocks, and some still don't. But plenty of people have even made a living off of these things and have made incredible things with them! They've recreated entire games in Minecraft, like Bloons Tower Defense, and even have done even crazier shit than that. You talk about how the game was perfect as it was. I'm not entitled to change that opinion, but even so, Minecraft has obviously evolved thanks to all this new content. Even if they kept the game how it was, the game would become a incredibly boring game after that. If they didn't add new content, and new features to both improve on, and overall increase the overall fun of the game, then the game wouldn't have had become as beautiful and popular as it is today. Minecraft has overtaken Tetris as the number 1 best selling game of all time, and Tetris was a series of games. That proves that Minecraft is going in a great direction from here on out. Attention has yet to even die down all too much, i'd say 4/5 of the people caught by the big wave of Minecraft have still been loving the game, and plenty of people who used to shit on the game are playing and enjoying it a lot. Plus, thanks to incredibly great ideas such as the recipe book to help new players get themselves eased back into the game, the many new places to explore, along with new mobs and mechanics that flesh out the game, Minecraft is still in a Renaissance that has been bringing in brand new players celebrating this wonderful game.
While I obviously have said many times before that I don't want to invalidate your opinion on the game, I personally think that Minecraft is still as great as it was years ago, possibly even better. The game has been fleshed out ever since the Alpha and Beta releases, and have been made more fun and enjoyable for years to come thanks to the updates that Mojang has been rolling out.
SkyanUltra I usually never read essay comments, but I totally agree with you.
It’s honestly an outrage that when you search up “Intro Minecraft” alongside this, you get “Top 10 Minecraft intros” and such.
Agree

Just use c418
This song isn't a Minecraft intro. Just type C418, the artist who composed this. The algorithm just displayed accurate results.

'Cherish these memories, young one. You'll never know if- Some day... You'll want them back...'
Hearing this the whole way through, I think back to around 2015 and opening Minecraft on our families PC and hearing the button clicks and seeing the old textures and just everything the game was back then, and how peaceful it was compared to what it is now with it all being so hectic and new challenges and everything, when back then I was just a kid wanting to build things to my heart's content and just being at peace with the beautiful world on my screen and around me. I shed tears.
I know there is not a lot of people reading this comment but the other day I was in class listening to this and my classmate kept laughing at me and I said what so funny. He laughed at me for still listening to this music. Point is if only he knew what I were listening too
I agree.
This will be an unforgettable part of our childhood
Fucking normies will never know the power of nostalgia.
Ironic how it was Minecraft that taught me to never judge a book by its cover. If only they’d all give it another try.
this stuff is worth to be called a minecraft volume alpha song agree?
"And... I just started crying. They weren't tears of sadness, or tears of joy, I wasn't overwhelmed. I know this world, this game is just a clevery constructed string of ones and zeroes, but I knew that in a way, it's a part of me."
This song is so heavy and emotional which honestly makes one of if not my favorite Minecraft soundtrack song plus just the melody and chords,,, *chefs kiss* 🤌
SMPLive was truly something. Goodbye dear friend
This is an underrated masterpiece
SMP Live will be greatly missed, it was a good run while it lasted. We all had a great time watching our favorite streamers play just as much as they enjoyed playing on the server, we will cherish these memories made.
R.I.P SMP Live...
Im so fucking sad
"DONT FORGET"
My final message, goodbye
Change da world
My best friend of 15 years passed away last year, we used to listen to this album and play Minecraft for hours on end, This song really hits hard when I think about all the good times we had together, I miss you Gus
Happy birthday, Minecraft
Good bye smplive.... sad times my friend....
i used to make statues and planes when i was younger. now im just making houses and and redstone builds. our standards were so low back then.
maybe its why we loved the older days. we did not have any limits of what we buildt. we where young we did not expect a lot from our builds. we just liked the good moment we had with our friends brothers and maybe perents.
(im bad at english lol)
Our childhoods largely happened in this game. It's wonderful when something so deeply resonates with us all. I think that is the truest beauty in this song
I'd somehow never listened to this minecarft song before and wow. Wow. The humming....
The humming in the back is so
mesmerizing...
rip smplive. thank you
“I knew that all this world is, all this game is, is a cleverly constructed sequence of 1s and 0s but i knew in a way.. that it was a part of me.” -jschlatt, a tribute to minecraft.
The definition of “Pain”
Thank you, W for showing me what Minecraft was in 2013. Those Fridays after school going to your house and playing the beta on the mac. Playing Call of Duty Ghosts all day. Those sleepovers where we laughed at smosh videos for hours. Downloading mods and playing on Minecraft servers. Building Legos so fast that we'd take them apart and put them back together. We still talk to this day but it is rewarding to think of the blissful days of ignorance, unaware of the responsibilities of having a job, and finishing high school. To think that we're adults now is so crazy. To reiterate the previous statement, thank you.
This song always makes me sad because it gives me memories back when I was happy and now everyone says “what happened to you.”
It's never too late to turn your life around
Listening to minecraft music just makes me sad, it just reminds me of when we were so innocent and imaginative. Where are we now..
Thanks to Late August for reminding me of this beauty of a song
8 years? Damn time flies.....
Have you ever ever felt the wish to become a child again?
When summer days and games you played went onward without end?
The evenings lasted twenty hours, but ended in an instant.
Now you are old, and turning cold, and feeling kind of distant.
But still the sparkle, pure and white, exists within your soul
Your purest flower will not sour, though you've paid the toll.
The darkest things will never taint the child's innocence
And in the music you will find that it will ever exist.
*Simple, and yet emotional.*
*This is truly the best track, of everything.*
everything you are hearing. what you are reading right now. are 1s and 0s. so much emotion packed into 1s and 0s. and for someone to harness those numbers in such a way is truly remarkable. thank you C418.
I never get used to this.
I've listened to this for so many hours on loop and I still feel the same emotions
Then, as you grow up, you see the people you made memories with, slowly becoming memories...
Aww 😢
You ever just stare up at the ceiling at night and yearn for something that doesn’t exist? That one thing we all need and we don’t know what it is. That thing that comes out when we hear songs like this. What the fuck is it?
Damn ur good with words
rest easy, king. 👑
Now this feels like a song where all your cherished memories are flashing one by one as your last breath comes along.
This sounds like the perfect ending song. The fact that this isn't Minecraft's ending song is... strange to say the least. But this song to me, it takes me on an emotional journey, much like when I played survival mode. It felt sad at times, and other times it felt nice. I will never forget the journey that Minecraft took me on. And I will most certainly never forget the majesty of this song.
Today my xbox 360 sits in my cherished items box, sitting next to it is all the halo games aswell as a old watch from my great grandfather. My mom gave to me from when I was 5 years old. The xbox360 was a gift for my when I turned 14. And When I got halo 3. I loved it but then I got minecraft. Minecraft is my all time favorite game. Nothing was bad about it. And when I moved out of the house to college, I couldn't bring it with. So I stored it in the attic with alot of other stuff. As I came back on after my 2 year degree, I couldn't find it. Mother told me that my cousins took it without asking. I went to their house and caught them in the act. But before I stopped them, I saw them playing Minecraft. They have tossed the halo 3 case on the floor but I didn't care. I decided to watch them as they played minecraft. The laughing, the happiness, and the excitement on their faces was so breathtaking. I watched them from when they built their first house, to when they beat the ender dragon. When they beat the ender dragon I congradulated them. I asked, "How did you beat the game?". They said they read the old minecraft books. And so I helped them play a little bit longer and said how about we go to the pawnshop to see if there was any xbox 360's. We went to the shop and found a xbox 360, bought it, brought it back to their house, and I bought minecraft on the xbox. I went home that night with all of my stuff. And when I was putting my stuff back I decided to plug in the xbox. I launched a new world, I played until 6 in the morning, beating the game. Then when I finished, I cried. Knowing as hell I felt the exact same things from when I first beat the ender dragon as they did. That sensation overwhelms you. Now I live near my cousins and have a wife and 2 kids. Im on my oldest ones account right now. I check what he does on his computer every night. Thats when I saw this song played in the history. I checked it out and thats what led to me telling my story about the cave game. And I just want to say this game is going to live on forever. No matter what. It may become low in population but this game will NEVER die. It is truly amazing on how Minecraft and the Music within the game is truly undyable. You will have the same sensation when you play your favorite game for the first time in years again. That is my story with Minecraft. I have another story with a friend but I will tell that one later. Getting old isn't something you should dread on instead, reflect a bit and do the same thing you did when you were younger and just say "Like the good old days" it worked for me. - a buddy you may never see again.
Heartbreaking. I feel the same. First, I tried Minecraft since the Xbox 360 demo. Now, i bought it on Xbox One, and had a joyful sensation when I beat the Ender dragon. All the memories of me crafting my own house and world.
Pd: I still have to find the time and strategy to beat the Wither and the Elder Guardians lol
Fucking hell man this just makes me *feel* and I don't know what I am feeling
This has a wakeup feeling in it. Like the night's ending, the sun is rising, you put an end to one phase in your life and start the next one.
It is after you got that chance, and you partied all night with your friends about it, these are are all other songs. But there always then comes this moment of true realization, where you sit outside, I like thinking watching the sun rise in this case, realize the true meaning of that, just stare into the emptiness, the rest of the night that is slowly giving way to the warmth of the first rays of the day, while you are transitioning mentally to be another person.
I turned 21 a few days ago, Im grateful I found this song cause its reminding me of being 14 again, having true friends for the first time in my life when I really needed it. I kind of thought Id never reach the age of 21, not cause I would die, but because it seemed like a lifetime away. Here goes to the life I've lived, all the mistakes I made no matter how bad, to my partners who have made my life and every horrible day so much more worth it, to the dull moments and pure joy I've felt, to the people I've lost along the way, I thank it all. While a part of me does want to change some things, deep down, I wouldn't want to change a single thing. I promise to myself that I'll be better. To whoever may be reading this, keep going. There's so much value you'll get out of 7 years and you'll get more out of a full lifetime.
What I like about this song is that it fills you with some sort of emotion.
Sometimes I can't tell what I feel when I listen to it.
Maybe a bit mellow, or sad, or to perhaps to just calm down a racing mind.
I often think of it with a tiny bit more sadness than what I feel like I should think.
FlR3 F0X Don't be sad at all the meaning becomes more visual as it goes it becomes happier in my opinion
Minecraft is not just a game.
It's a place where you spend your creativity in;
It's a place filled with memories;
It's a state of eternity.
