Carousel - Equanimity CD - Ryan Stewart

[MaxamillionKane]

sounds a little like the end credits of E.T.

[AnimeLuver16712]

ooo sounds like Curse of Blackmoor Manor

[AnimeLuver16712]

Why are your stories so sad? Oh sorry I meant music. Why is your music so sad?

[AnimeLuver16712]

Why are your stories so sad?

[freetobemia]

This beautiful music tells a beautiful story and stirs up emotions within me. I wish there was a movie written to your music.

[AnimeLuver16712]

@freetobemia whats the story?

[AnimeLuver16712]

@freetobemia whats the story? I am wanting to be an author maybe i could write the story.....

[LifeonaThread]

It's really ethereal, and just a little sad. I'd really love to do a puppet show to this music...

[VeilOfTheDragon]

OMG YOU HAVE MY NAME I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

[AmyFreeman25]

This one is my favorite off of your Equanimity album!!! it's so fluid and beautiful. I can't wait to play with you!

[WENEEDREALCHANGE]

I can totally picture this song in a movie

[Glimshimmery]

beautiful! I can totally envision some memory of mine with a carousel in it.

[mxfx45]

wow not what i was expecting, sweet man

[exploratoria]

Lovely music, thank you for posting it.

[jlewis31510]

Very beautiful indeed, and skillfully played.

[TheDetektiveDrew]

Cool! Super!

[danielix11]

Mysterious....Amazing....Beaut­iful....

[wurly164]

To see actual carousel music, type in the words Band Organ

[OnlyMusic16]

wow, very beautiful. All I can say.

[Quinton044]

Incredible music. You and Clyde Bawden are my favorite pianists. It's a beautiful song that gives me such a great feeling of comfort. Thankyou for sharing

[louthebody]

Really beautiful song.

[blankpianist]

ooo it sounds like the music from the casper movie.

[crazychol89]

This is beautiful...I adore it

LOVE IT!!!

[oOSnivellusOo]

this is amazing....it's just so beautiful beyond words

[XxkrystalpistolxX]

Absolutely beautiful. It's like music from a dream or something.

[LilStunahh]

...

You , are the inspiration and the reason you make me want to playh piano

...

You are the inspiration of others too,

...

I'm glad you put this up, You inspire me.. And im only a child, I didnt want to learn to play piano anymore but,, know you have helped me see that i can accomplish great things in learning...Thanks (:

[zionist123]

so beautiful is it when we find a source of inspiration, i too at one point had tired of playing piano. Worry not of the implications that being a child has when you type a remark, for i am but a mere 14 yr old with a vivid vocabulary, and a endless thirst for knowledge.

[Pawelp]

Beautiful

[punkdude1599]

Very good written piano music. i can't even do half of what he's doing here. keep playing never give up 5 stars fav. + subscribed

[Mindputer]

Incredible piece. very well put together.

[controlremot3]

logan's run inspired track from forthcoming LP............

[blankpianist]

[judyesther]

very lovely 5*

[Electric888]

This is really good!

I'm a composer myself 2.

[kamikazeganguro]

beautiful.

[Superman1753]

I can really imagine this being played in the background of a movie scene. Beautiful work.

[arpletscher]

I absolutely love this piece. You are a brilliant musician!! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[FreeMyselfAndFly]

That is so good! If I could play like that my piano teacher would be ecstatic!

[Zsongstress]

this music takes you to dreamland....I love it! It is so romantic and calming.

[chainsaw745]

saan tästä henkisen orgasmin<3 jumalauta saatana. BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hellomate639]

It is brilliant.

And to let you know, I am very meticulous and harsh on people's talent.

[4786971]

Your A Genious....I still wanna know what that piece is what you were playing with what i expect was your daughter.

[musicmakesthewrldspn]

This is phenomenal.... just outstanding. wow.

[piano6861]

This is so beautiful!

[tommyk77]

reminds me of something Ludovico Einaudi or Nobuo Uematsu would write. Are you particularly influenced by them? The chord changes are beautiful

[sing4ualways13]

this is incredible!

[louthebody]

Beautiful song. I wish it went a little longer. Reminds me of one of those fantasy movies like Somewhere In Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Symore(sp?)

[ItzEddie]

the one shown playing as achieved excellence through emotion and action..

well done

your music does truly inspire

keep playing!

[Svetlailieva]

Yes you are the man for making movie soundtracks, cause a scene from real life can make you write such a beautiful music. This is truly fantastic! Keep it up! 5 starst and ON to your next vid!

[LonerPoltergeist]

<3 lovely

[roxyfut23]

1st time i heard this piece..it seriously brought a tear to my eye....you have beautiful talent...keep em comingggg :)

[justforthevids]

Your songs are truly one of my greatest inspirations, thank you for touching so many hearts

[tage92]

If this reaches out to many you would be famous

[92Celica]

Love it man, It sounds kinda like enya.

[Leannemk]

Beautiful- just beautiful.

[Adji87]

fantatsic, sounds relaly familliar to something.

[crystalfine]

u r definitely a family man! =)

[namyls]

Hi ryan,

I like very much your composition! Congratulations.

If i could do only one comment, i'll try to use some richer chords to add some "tension" or "emotion". You know, like "add4", "add2", "7"...that kind of stuff. Well, that's just my opinion and maybe it's not your style.

In any case, keep it up, it's a great job!

[Filmmaker920]

This is amazing! you should really go public with this. The beginning progressions remind me a lot of the song composed by John Williams for E.T. except yours sounds better! no joke. Great Job

[poopdawg2themax]

You seriously should try asking to do movie music, you're a really talented composer.

[WiK3]

o my god u are a virtuose

[CarlyDillon51]

Loved it

[Dixcovery]

oh my god! It's beautiful, luv it!

[HOBORON]

NOW,, THIS ONE I LIKE!

[UpsideDownBassist]

Sounded familiar.

[InsaneSparrow]

Reminds me of Mendelssohn

[lattelaura]

as always, Ryan, absolutely amazing! I remember when you played this song for me years ago. Loved it then, love it now!!! xo Laura

[JACKSPLOSION]

Awesome as ever! I can't wait to hang out with you and everyone else in July!

[violetblue]

another nice song. i noticed that the piano isn't the same one as the one in the spider video. i reckon the song'll sound better on the steinway piano.

[MikeE381]

ohh so nice!!

[roxyfut]

this song is absolutely beautiful...i can hear it on a soundtrack for a movie...bravo!!

[cherri9irl]

woah! do you sell the sheet music for your compositions?

[Joe22c]

Whoa! You sir, are truly talented!

[amadpianist]

[DDbRowN67]

Absolutely lovely..it reminds me of rain...very beautiful!!

[es76]

Captivating. A very beautiful and moving composition. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity.

Just one small suggestion; edit the end of your video more gently! Your mesmerizing spell is broken rather abruptly before your final notes have even had chance to fade away.

[s934]

I thought of the finding neverland soundtrack when listening to this. this piece captures that kind of innocence. Loved it

[seanteasy]

sounded like it came straight from part of a big time movie. it was really good.

[gwcunliffe]

I am absoloutley mesmorised!

[julianen]

divine

[theprieto]

The first half of this song reminded me of 1. A series of unfortunate events (beginning - :35) 2. Final Fantasy (:35 - :41) 3. Evanescence (:42 - :52) 4. Coldplay (:52 - 1:05) Really Sweet song.

[Morncreek]

I could lose myself in this melody for days. It's like the perfect dream, or the perfect day. Faved.

[kingofkings1O1]

Very nice, sounds and feels like something from Final Fantasy.

[wordsarelouder]

this song just inspired me in a very blessed way, best subscribe I've made in a long time.

Thank you sir.

[thebigleb0wski]

I agree with you wordsarelouder, you are totaly right man.

[louthebody]

This one will be a classic.

[philosophiser420]

good song. send the sheet music please

[eivsil]

wonderful, like a flight of bird

[gerrybreeze]

went to your MySpace wall. MAN! seriously! you are AMAZING! you have 4 songs on it, I listened to them over and over, they are beautiful. I need more. you need to make a cd, something. Someday you are going to inspire people to play, if you're not already.

[narono]

nice job!...=)

[moooingcow]

What a magical piece!  Lovely!

[drewfishman04]

I thoroughly enjoy this. You have a talent far worth envying. Good luck with everything!

[nuklyrcheez]

it's beautiful...

[MiguelAngel3077]

5% Chopin's musical Structures; 60% Enya's musical Situations; 20% your own musical honesty; 5% Talent in execution; 10% Talent in composition... I'm 0% speak English...(thanks & patience)

[gatebee]

very nice .. agree with others you should be famous by now

[Langfordc]

Amazing! FYI...there are ways to plug your piano directly into an audio feed in your camera so you don't get any of the background noise. Great music!

[moooingcow]

How is someone like you not famous already? Obviously you have a following on U-tube. You're so awesome. The music you make is so hauntingly beautiful. I love it.

[moooingcow]

Geez, I just can't believe how good you are. I too am an ear player that hated site reading. But, I DON"T have perfect pitch!

[clasma]

genious so enchanting... u should work in the movie business, soundtracks and all...

ur amazing really

[xxkelxx01]

Great, thank you so much! I really love your music, it's just beautiful and amazing!

[FallOutGurl31293]

Oh, wow. This sounds so enchanting! I like it alot!

[TheCompleteNorman]

Beautiful song! Reminds me a little bit of the intro to Firth of Fifth at times too.

[yenbui]

Absolutely enchanting. I can imagine it as a movie soundtrack.

[lilame25]

AMAZING! I love this. I want to put it on myspace :) great job uncle Ryan. Let me know when you want to jam with my fiddle!!

[MERRYMG]

Lovely, just lovely....so huanting

[1Cheryl]

Wonderful! I felt a spirit of hopefullness in the piece... just lovely.... keep writing.

[sonybuddy]

thanks for the video share, I enjoyed it ;)

[Adriana1974]

Great! I loved it.

[gujobaobab]

Really NICE! I'm impressed.

[him6661]

beautiful, i am quite envious of your talent, never stop!

[aussiethatsme]

mega beautiful!!!!!! :) sounds like casper!!!! which is also beautiful!

[unklejman]

Very nice composition. It almost reminds me of something Ray Lynch would do. Are you familiar with him?

[KennyWrites]

I enjoyed those soothing sounds! Are you offering any of your music as digital downloads, either for free or for sale?

[AnselAdam]

Wow! This is just great! I wish I could just imagine such sounds in my head, much less put it to music. This was just fantastic! WTG Ryan!

[tibaal89]

The chord progression alone creates a beautiful mood and tells a story, very mature writing. You are a very talented composer, I enjoyed it greatly.

[iSpacke]

This is awesome! I mean, I really get the immage of a happy family riding on a carousel. Keep up the good work!

[MysteryWriter]

wow! thanks for sending me that video! i liked it quite a lot. very much in the moment! i really was there at the carousel moving. you should write the score for my upcoming shortfilms ;-)

[hr2]

You should compose music for TV/Movies, because you seem to be able to capture the feel of the moment and could probably make some good stuff for capturing the feel of a movie scene.

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi hr2,

thanks for stopping by and commenting. I don't know if you've read my channel description but that is the exact direction I am heading! Thx!

[hr2]

Ahh, I just read it now, good luck!

[ileana86224]

wow that's really good!.. cuz it's simple but really beautiful.. definately sounds like a carousel :p

yeah and i also think of a music box.. =)

it's great that you get your inspirations from your family..

[Chocolatesonnet]

Lovely melody. With the fast tempo I can "see" the horses go up and down. I also think of a music box as I listen to this.

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Elizabeth,

Haven't heard from you for a while...hope all is well. Thanks for listening, it is much appreciated!

Cheers,

Ryan

[gophercureself]

Clever writing. I really think of a carousel when I hear it. The triple meter truly helps with that imagery.

[pianoshirley]

pretty good....i like it...

[juiceboost]

beautiful.

[AnnieCanada]

Wow... Very Sweet... Love the motion of this.. Peeks and waves of beautiful Feel! Really enjoyed this~

Amazing for certain... Thank you for sharing~

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Annie,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting...it is truly appreciated. BTW...loved Bask!

Cheers,

Ryan

[isidim]

Affecting: It has an etherial and reminiscent qauality.

[70001]

My second master's degree is in music, so anything that I might say is not meant to be critical, only to help you polish this. I would suggest less of a pause between phrases.A carousel has forward motion so I would cut some of the longer notes and rests. Let the forward motion carry you through to a big bang end. I would also expand the right hand patterns to two octaves. See if you can get a copy of Carousel by Jacques Brel to see how he handled the forward motion. Best wishes Pierre

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Pierre,

I appreciate EVERY comment! If someone is moved enough to let me know what they think, then to me, that is a good thing. So, thank you!

Cheers,

Ryan

[ghoulmann]

WOOOW!!! Very nice. Oh BTW I still can't figure out the myspace thing, but I'm trying.

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Matthew,

it's been a while. Thanks for listening, I appreciate it very much!

Cheers,

Ryan

[NewTubeBoy]

As some channels said, it remembers me music of some films, even "The piano". Ii evokes me moments or scenes of people runing through the beach... Eitherway it's an awesome composition. Thanks for sharing!

[dr4gonwidj4j4]

I like it. I can really hear a carousel spinning around in the song. Anyway i want to ask u something. Do u make the song first than make the title or the other way around.

[ryanstewartmusic]

Thanks for the question dr4gonwidj4j. It depends on the music. Sometimes I just hear a piece out of nowhere. Other times an event will inspire the piece.

cheers

[ProDeoSolus]

I think this piece is absolutely amazing. Probably one of my favorite piano pieces..really freaking nice... reminds me a bit of Clare De Lune.. ( if thats how you spell it I do not know)

[MelonPOP]

Have you seen a French film called 'Amélie'? This piece sounds like a part of the soundtrack - the carousel story only adds to it.

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Gloria,

I haven't seen that film...I'll have to go rent it. Thanks for listening and commenting!

Cheers,

Ryan

[Elvista77]

I've seen Amelie, thankx for reminding me of the movie, I loved it!!! I don't remember the music...anyhow...this piece {peace} is very nice indeed! Thankx Ryan!

[logana13]

someone said that all the minors don't capture a carousel, but, given the title, it seems to evoke a carousel... and then some. almost like.. a joy of the moment, but sadness at knowing the fleetingness of it, or something, heh 's what i'm getting anyway, but 's all subjective, right? :)

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Polly,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I enjoy reading what everyone has to say...and yes...it is very subjective. And that's ok. Have a good one!

Cheers,

Ryan

[Ryquist]

This would be good for a movie. Like the Truman Show or something.

[ryanstewartmusic]

Hi Ry,

I haven't heard from you for a long time! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I like it when people think my music would be good for a movie. That is my ultimate aim.

Cheers,

Ryan

[erciasico]
