man, glad to see other people still returning to the roots. great game, great song and this is in my opinion the best cover of the original song. wish the best.
_"Life was good. The Sun was setting on a sweet Summer's day. A house on the Jersey side across the river. The smell of freshly cut lawns. The sounds of children playing. A beautiful wife and a baby girl. The American dream come true. But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking."_
I thought I found it just in time, the soundtrack to my life. But then the realization hit me like a point blank shot straight in the face, I was 10 years late.
For almost 6 years I keep coming back to this masterpiece performance of yours and it still covers me up in shivers all the time. This is the soundtrack to my life. Thank you, Night Shader.
“The way I see it there’s two types of people, those who spend their lives trying to build a future and those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past. For too long I’d be stuck in between, hidden in the dark"
Allotta people shit on MP3. That's gotta be *THE* best quote from the entire game. That or the "Another dark rainy night, another police station [...] Time moves forward and nothing changes." It's funny--everywhere in the game has been visited before in a prior title in some facet.
Bought the sheet music twice by accident, got refunded for the extra purchase without even asking. He didn't have to to that. Thank you for being a great guy man!
That was a PAYNEful cover. This is the trip to despair. This is the hymn of anguish. And do not EVER listen to it when it rains. I couldn't pull myself from depression for a whole day. Bravo. That was magnificent, I liked it even more than original.
(A heavily quoted quote... BUT with my own twist!) "There it was, the soundtrack to my life. Every note telling me something about it I already know all too well."
I’ve been watching this video since I was 14 and I gotta tell you it’s still the best cover of this song to this day the performance is just so good 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Man, I've been watching your videos since youtube was in its infancy. You were one of the first channels I subscribed to back in 2008. And I always come back to your rendition of the Max Payne theme here from time to time. I'm glad you're still around and making beautiful piano renditions in 2022, and I hope you'll continue to do so for many years to come.
As you step away from the roles that have defined your career, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible talent, dedication, and passion you've brought to every character you've portrayed, particularly you James McCaffrey. Your voice has been the backbone of iconic characters, breathing life into them with every word spoken. You has captivated us, drawing us into the complex worlds of your characters with your nuanced performances. Whether it was the gritty intensity of Max Payne or the emotional depth of other roles, you infused each character with a realism and authenticity that made them unforgettable. "Thank you. Try to look after yourself Max, huh? Life is worth living."
I have played Max Payne 1 & 2 also but don't know why Max Payne 3 story made me very emotional like i was not playing a game i was watching a film rather. These instruments gives another level of feelings ❤️😌
It seems like Hugo Weaving is not only a badass elf, an agent with a suit or someone who destroyed the British parliament, he can also play the piano very well!
They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger, and it was over.
This is so awesome! That music is one of if not my favorite video game music/songs of all time. I played Max Payne a few days ago, I played through Max Payne 2 last night and am playing the 3rd one right now as a remembrance to James McCaffrey Rest in Peace 💔
Appreciate the update buddy, wouldn't have known if it wasn't for your comment and it makes me sad to read this much later. I shall forever cherish the memories associated with the Max Payne series and the unforgettable, iconic voice of James perpetually embedded in this role. I need some pain killers to numb myself while I stare at the bottom of my shot glass. May he rest in peace.
"The way I see it there's two types of people, those who spend their lives trying to build a future and those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past." - Max Payne AND WAY PAYNE TO PLAY!!
Fak, how could you play it so well ! .. I love this song from my childhood. You played it with nice precision ! The best version I have ever heard. Really.
I even expected a remastered game or something but all they did is making a video on Remedy UA-cam channel. The video was good enough but celebrating 20 years of a legend like this? Kinda awkward.
@@stooplights2192 haven't you played the first game with the nightmare sequence? Or how bout in the third when Max goes into that crumbling hospital and sees that people are profiting off stealing peoples organs
Listening to this song give me goose bumps every time even today. Makes me feel like something very special, close to my heart is going to end very soon, today is it's last day, and after it's gone I am gonna get lost in those past memories and miss every moment every second!
"There it was the soundtrack to my life" "Then for a moment came Harmony"
Finally.

I'm here again. 11 years ago and at least once every year. I hope everything's okay out there, man. Max Payne created a brotherhood
man, glad to see other people still returning to the roots. great game, great song and this is in my opinion the best cover of the original song. wish the best.
RIP James Mccaffrey

time to play max payne 1, December is the best month to play this game, such legendary games don't come out nowadays
once a great man said- truth never changes and Everything changes is the ultimate truth.
Every now and then i come back to this video, Love this cover always make me wanna replay the game, thanks for this masterpiece
Thank you. Glad you like it so much. :)
me too
It’s amazing how Max Payne, being mostly single player story based game series, can bring together all of its players anyway.
I've been using this song as an alarm for eight years. Such a beautiful rendition to the original
Haha nice! Thank you so much. :)
Well let it be another 8 years. Or 80.
There it was . The sound track to my life
This song makes me want to apply for a body guard job in Brazil
só ir pra são paulo kkkkk
I thought I found it just in time, the soundtrack to my life. But then the realization hit me like a point blank shot straight in the face, I was 10 years late.
Fuck. 2012.
For almost 6 years I keep coming back to this masterpiece performance of yours and it still covers me up in shivers all the time. This is the soundtrack to my life. Thank you, Night Shader.
same,it's beautiful...
"Are we dead?"
"No such luck."
For the past 12 years I come back here to watch this video and listen to you play this song. It's comforting in a way. I like the way it resolves.
Thanks! 🙂

The fact that this dude is still replying to comments is impressive, it's been ten years....Max said right !
"time moves forward and nothing changes"
I see all comments on all videos. So as long as I'm active, I'll still read everything. 😀 Thanks for watching.
Bought the sheet music twice by accident, got refunded for the extra purchase without even asking.
He didn't have to to that.
Thank you for being a great guy man!
Hope you'll enjoy the sheetmusic! :)
damn, the matrix really impacted agent smith.
great cover. its been twelve years. virtual hug to all of you my brothers.
This is the best cover I heard I can't believe I didn't find this gem sooner
That was a PAYNEful cover. This is the trip to despair. This is the hymn of anguish.
And do not EVER listen to it when it rains. I couldn't pull myself from depression for a whole day.
Bravo. That was magnificent, I liked it even more than original.
ZeroFinder1 Thanks so much, and nice pun! :P
+ZeroFinder1 www.rainymood.com/ listen it with this
For years now I've been coming back
Never heard a better interpretation of the Title Song
Thank you brother
I'm in the same boat, it's my favorite rendition
(A heavily quoted quote... BUT with my own twist!)
"There it was, the soundtrack to my life. Every note telling me something about it I already know all too well."
Holy shit mannn
Nice.
Not bad.

Thanks! :)
Totally agree
Same here, I come back every two months or so.
just found this and i wholeheartedly agree.
There it was, the soundtrack of my life, and for a moment comes harmony.
Rest in peace mr James Mcaffrey
Nooo, really? 😳
Almost 10 years since you made that piano cover. You made an excellent work on the notes and the performance.
Thank you! :)
Regularly come back for this cover.
Coming back here after listening in 2012. Its still awesome
Thanks! 😀
Best version
I listen it over 8 years
There it was, the soundtrack to my life
After all these years, still one of the best performances of the song
There it was, the soundtrack to my life...
RIP JAMES 🕊🕊
Terrible news. I just read it. 😞
Wow that piano's sound is excellent
This song is great, really comfortable...
David this place is great really confortable
I'm just going to get settled in. Time to move on. Get along with my life. Yes, absolutely.
The song is great, really depressing
Happy new year, detective Max Payne!
Happy New Year!
The soundtrack to my life
yup mine and MAX too
Mr. Anderson! We missed you.
fuck, i was gonna comment that! he really does look like him LOL
Almost spot on! He just needs a suit and sun glasses!
The depth, pain, anguish and ultimately revenge.. all these are explained through music.. hat's off
This masterpieace I'm still listening bro even though it's been 10 years
Thank you. 🙂
I love his playing it sounds so much like the original

It’s been 10 years and I still revisit this from time to time
Something so darkly melodic about its arrangement
Pure lonely rainy nights kind of mood
this soundtrack really has a soul, and this piano player knows, how to show it!
It seems like Hugo Weaving is not only a badass elf, an agent with a suit or someone who destroyed the British parliament, he can also play the piano very well!
It sure seems like it. Don't you think so, Mr. Anderson?
BetaChri5 Smith....
Van Nguyen *Flicks you on the head* Have you actually heard any lines in the matrix? or watched the 1920's silent black and white film?
AlexBelanger100 I'm just going to pretend to ignore what you said, rather than I don't know. Bitchslap
“I began to realize that my luck had all run out....a long time ago....that’s why I was here. “
“The constant shadow of a wasted life.”
He looks like that agent from Matrix. Btw Music is so very amazing. 😍
lol
Agent Smith
"There it was, the soundtrack to my life"
And, for a few seconds, came harmony
When Mr Smith (Matrix Agent) is feeling the pain of max payne
"There it was, the soundtrack to my life, and, for a few seconds, came harmony. Finally."
I downloaded this video in mp3 format back in like 2013 and I was listening to it at school, good memories :))
"For a few seconds,came harmony"
That's what she said
Been listening it daily for years now. Also downloaded it from the link in description. Thank you u are amazing
Thank you! ^_^
Indeed this is amazing mister! 2012 was quite a long time now...
This theme has so much pain in it.
Great playing 👍
Dexter outro and this are very similar. You might like that other one as well. :)
TIme moves forward, and nothing changes.
it looked like max payne was himself playing this.... by expressing his pain in the music. awesome....
_I don't know about angels, but it's fear that gives men wings._
From Max Payne 1.
@@LYNX-jg2poDon't answer that. A retorical question
I never grow tired of listening to this arrangement. It's an outstanding perfomance, no flaws whatsoever!
You play this with such an ease. Looks like you played Max Payne Theme your whole life. Impressive. Thank you.
Everyone's like agent Smith is playing piano.
Noone is asking why agent Smith is sad.
Poor agent Smith can't escape the Matrix.
I coming to this song years later it's still freaking awesome!
Mister Anderson! !! Smith is that you !
They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger, and it was over.
And this is how agent Smith became the chosen one after Neo
agent smith from matrix playing max payne ?
Mr.Anderson?
:DD
"there was a bullet sized hole in my head where all the answers should be"

No problem. Take a seat. You're not too late. 🙂 We have been waiting for you. Enjoy.
@@NightShader1 Thanks for replying. After all, gamers have a different types of brotherhood bond that no other kind of fanbase have❤️.
I used to listen this cover when I was a child and I'm 24 years old now. I still get those emotions. Ah, what a great tragedy.
Nearly 12 years old, and still one of my favorite track :)

Thank you Pushpa, very cool!
Ten years without new Max Payne...
Wr need remasters not new game😤

@@stooplights2192 haven't you played the first game with the nightmare sequence? Or how bout in the third when Max goes into that crumbling hospital and sees that people are profiting off stealing peoples organs

the best one in world who plays piano
Well played. The passion for Max Payne can be felt in your performance.
Amazing Hugo Weaving
2001. The rise of max payne. 2003 The fall of max payne. 2013 Max payne returns. Hell it is awesome.
What up agent Smith
Mr. Anderson...
actually they really have smth in common
That moment you realized that Max was in the bottom right corner
NIGGA WANT A SCHOLARSHIP
Max Payne playing his own theme, I didn’t think this was possible.
I might have laughed. If I had remembered how. (Max payne)
2022 still like the first time i was here and enjoy this soundtrack
