  • @JoanyWood you are damn right. Well done.

  • to all the twilight fools, this was written in 1996, way before that piece of shit called twilight was even conceived! fools for thinking Jon was inspired by that! I wouldn't even wipe my arse with that shit

  • @NinjaJad The copyright for Cherished Moments by Jon Schmidt was 1996. Twilight did NOT inspire him to write this. In fact Twilight has nothing to do with this song except that the person who posted it said this is what they imagined the song to be like. And if you think Twilight is good literature, I'm sorry. I've read it. And I've read much better.

  • why are we all talking about twilight here??? i am more conserned about how amazing this song is. i don't think anyone cares wether you like the series or not... lets just all agree that this song is freaking AMAZING

  • Hating on Twilight is simply adding fuel to the fire. It wouldn't be nearly as popular if it weren't for people saying how terrible a series it was, and then others going out to read it to see if it's true. I say to each his own; hate the series or love the series, it makes little difference to me.

    That said, this is a beautiful piece, as expected from Jon. ThePianoGuys for the win! ♥

  • it's my first son soul played on a piano... how sweet!

  • The Twilight Sound is not bad, but this is absolutly brilliant.

  • well the movies are what a teenage girl who wants to find true love really wants to read, the movies take away all the good jokes and the magic feeling when you end reading the books and throws down all your imagination and replaces it by cheesyness.. therefor I prefer the books far over the movies and the music is pretty too ofcourse :p

  • i have to disagree i'm afraid

    i prefer bella's lullaby over this purely for the eeriness of it and how well it suits the character of Bella

    i'm not saying this isn't beautiful though but just not as fitting

  • @comebackkid84 Bella has a character? Since when? But awesome music anyway. Way better than Bella's lullaby.

  • Gorgeous! Makes me feel at peace :) Thank you!

  • beautiful:) i want to learn how to play this.

  • This song is SO MUCH better than the song they used for Bella's Lullaby... They should have asked Jon to do the soundtrack...... I would have been perfect...

  • This is the only thing that cheers me up when I'm down. I'm overseas in Spain for 9 more months. It's hard, I'm away from everything I love. But this reminds me of the adventures I'll have here and that in no time I'll be back home with my loved ones. Greeting from Vigo, Spain.

  • if i ever went to one of his concerts i would be sobbing

  • this would be perfect for bella's lullaby. even better if it wasn't bella and just any lullaby (:

  • sooooooooooooooo nice

  • @grendalss Okay, well not exactly their OWN religion. Because that's ridiculous, making it up.

    However, I know my religion is true. I've seen miracles happen right before my eyes. When I pray, I get answers.

    I also know many would argue that their religion is true.

    There's many different beliefs, and most people have them.

    Getting rid of the millions- most likely billions- of people? You want that?

    Even then, most likely more religions would again start to form.

    There's no way to avoid it.

  • @grendalss ...Or we can just accept the face that everyone's unique and has a right to their own religion?

  • What a beautiful piece!!!

  • @grendalss What you said was truly inspiring. If anyone dares to think that what you said is horrible, they need to look closely and recognise the true meaning of what you said. Because after reading what you wrote whilst listening to this song, I am not ashamed to say that I cried because I also believe that humanity should accept our race as a whole and not be distinguished as subgroups, we should not discriminate each other, because after all, aren't we all human?

  • @lolfrog1 Who says we're distinguished as subgroups and discriminate each other?

    Just because we have different beliefs doesn't mean we ridicule and hate everyone else..

    We accept them. We understand how others feel about their beliefs. It's not really a big deal.

  • @grendalss That was beautiful *sniffs* ,you're amazing!

  • Any piano sheet? I love it.I want to learn it..

  • @grendalss Love you to :) <3

  • @grendalss ok.. WOAH. i could point out how completely insane you are.. or just say: you need to get help. seriously.

  • TEN DISLIKES??? Who are these people? lol. This is a beautiful piece.

  • @rejoicing007

    Haters. And yes it is.

  • Cherished moments pass by in my memory when I listen to this divine composition - there is no better way to express these tender feelings ...

  • This is so beautiful.

    I am at a lost for words.

  • I love his music! Mmm so amazingly beautiful!

  • this is such a beautiful song! it makes me want to cry sometimes..

  • Amazing piano skills and i would love to go to one of his concerts if he ever has any. Wish i had taken piano more seriously when i was little so i could play this good. He is an amazing player and has a great deal of talent. Keep it coming and never give it up.

  • Wow, this is beautiful!

  • @Supercucu123 You're so wrong! TWILIGHTS AMAZING! SO IS JON SCHIMDT. So shh!.

  • @Lozz1998 no. Twilight really is shit. :)

  • @KonaKonaStudios You serious?.. No. Twilights amazing. I dont care who or what others say, i like this piece and the movies and books. so kthanksbye...

  • @Lozz1998 no. Twilight really is shit.

  • @KonaKonaStudios Well. No It isn't. Because the haters out there have bad taste, no offence.. if you are trying to prove something? well. its not working, so nice try. But Twilight is one of the ultimate best movies ever to be screened, You dont like to hear that? well tough luck, because i just typed it saying Im proud to be a fan of twilight.

  • @Lozz1998 No....it really is a load of shit.

  • @KonaKonaStudios no. not really.

  • @Supercucu123 don't worry....all those people saying Twilight is also amazing....i disagree to hahaha. Jon Schmidt is absolutely amazing.

  • @Supercucu123 no its you are shit :D

  • @NIKAGEORGIAN grammer please.

  • @Supercucu123 spelling please.

  • @Supercucu123 How ironic, it's spelt grammar. You're obviously to young and immature to understand the essence and fairy-tail aura that Twilight reflects upon it's many viewers.

    Twilight the film it's self is beautiful. Answer me this, how can twilight be "shit" when Twilight encouraged and influenced Jon Schimdt to produce such a wonderful song, it's just not simply logic. Maybe you'll grow up one day to realise this.

  • @NinjaJad Corrections: "fairytale" and "itself". I don't want to be a dick, but thought you should know :) Have a great day.

  • @Supercucu123 First Twilight movie is quite good. Nice climate.

  • I love all your music, the sweet melody's put me to sleep.. you guys are amazing -3

  • I don't like Twilight at all, but Jon Schmidt's music is absolutely beautiful.

  • @goldenxninjaxchick

    That horrid work of fiction has nothing to do with this piece.=P

  • @piggypoo lol, besides the fact that it is entitled bella's lullaby :P

  • @goldenxninjaxchick do you mean the title of the video, or the song? because the song is called Cherished Moments.

  • @piggypoo I couldn't agree more~

  • absolutely beautiful!! I adore this :)

  • ten people accidentally clicked the dislike button.

    

  • This is what I call music!

  • why would any people dislike this song?

  • This is better than the cherished moments music in Kingdom Hearts and that game was designed for special memories. Good Job Jon.

  • to dislike this is to dislike culture.

  • beautiful<3

  • His style is very reminiscent of Brian Crain.

  • Does anyone know were you can get sheet music for this?

  • @GerRaffe321 I got it off of his website - you can get a lot of sheet music of his for free- or maybe this one cost me $1.00...i dont remember. DEFINITELY get it- its sooooo worth it!

  • @skdrama free? he charges like 3 per

    

  • @map9785  On his official website yes i downloaded some for FREE - i didn't say all. I said some.

  • This is a BEAUTIFUL song. Who cares if he's Mormon? Are we now judging music based on an artist's religious beliefs?!

  • dreams....................

  • I'm not Mormon, and I don't EVER plan on being Mormon. But I do know good music. And Jon Schmidt has good music. :)

  • @sharayahjennifer What does that have to do with being Mormon?

  • @4thewin89 John Schmidt is LDS (aka Mormon).

  • 9 people are screwed up in the head for disliking this video!

  • does anybody know what key this is in or how i can find out???? my future-step-mother will be walking down the isle to it and we need to know!! :D

  • @jessicashuman31 The original is in Eb I think, but I play one in D. You can get his book at pretty much any music store.

  • @jessicashuman31

    just go to his website jonschmidt. com and you can order it. Immediate download : )

  • are you serious people? talking about religion here?

  • Dear Jon Schmidt,

    I want to purchase every song.

    Love, Me

  • I was reading comments and came upon idahomooresisters and it was flagged as spam. Well you guys don't want to bust your bubble but Jon Schmidt is Mormon.

  • @warewolf9002 why does it matter what faith he is? He has darn good music!

  • @ashtreeashley Did you read her comment? Or did you have to say something stupid to the matter of fact she's right.

  • thank you :)

  • can i buy this anywhere??? i love it so much

  • @meredith2730 Yes you can it's on Jon schmidt's website just type in Jon Schmidt Classical Music and you can create an account where you can buy it. Seriously 9 dislike WTF? Seriously???

  • Is this song relatively hard to learn? I have learned All of Me and Waterfall and parts of Ridin' West. This one does not sound very hard. This song is what I want to have played at my wedding. Its great in nearly every way. This song reminds me of what life is really about. Thank you Jon Schmidt. You have officially changed my life in ways you can't imagine.

  • Was this inspired by or made for the Twilight films? Is it Bella from that?

    Either way ... it's a beautiful song :)

  • @antripod123 okay fair enough i was just asking

  • It's such a beautiful song. and it's very good played!

  • this fits so much better as bella's lullaby than the one in the movie! Jon Schmidt is amazing

  • A duet between Yiruma and Jon Schmidt, how perfect would that be?

  • @ilooveicecream That would be sooo perfect. :O

  • @ilooveicecream

    Or even a piano duel between the two.. Heck yes.

  • Jon Schmidt & Yiruma

    Best music ever.

  • love this song, hate the movie's version of Edward's lullaby.

  • lindoooooooo

  • I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song! In his "side notes" of this sheet music he mentions that it helped him "seal the deal with a very pretty girl named Michelle." (his wife) - so very sweet. One of my piano students has learned this and played it at our recent Jon Schmidt Piano Recital - and then he played it at the concert later that afternoon. He has such a magical - extraordinary touch. LOVE it. And is the nicest guy I've ever met!!

  • oh man this is so beautiful. can i use it in my wedding? :D

  • i dont hear the bellas lullaby part o.O

  • @pianino08 The one that uploaded this just meant that this is a better song

    as a lullaby. And he's right. THIS is a gentle song you can fall asleep to.

  • I love Jon Schmidt, but this piece doesn't really appeal to me :( He's great, though :)

  • This is SO GOOD. Better than the original IMO

  • SOOOOO beautiful! I "share" this on my FB profile @ least once a week as my goodnight lullaby gift for all to hear. Can't wait to see Jon in September @ our concert here in Cali!! : )

  • Wow, beautiful, just absolutely beautiful.

  • @ Everybody

    Listen to this song. Listen and remember all the good in your life. Cherish every single moment of happiness, of peace, of love that you have. You will never get those moments back, so live them to the fullest.

    Your life can and probably will take a turn for the worst. But just remembering those small moments of happiness can help you so much through all the hard times.

    Keep those Cherished Moments treasured in your heart forever.

  • @OnyxBlade159 That could be quoted and spoken to those in times of need. Thank you so much for sharing that.

  • @OnyxBlade159 My parents just split up, and I discovered that my dad has been hiding the fact that he has bipolar disorder from me and my little sister. I felt so betrayed by the two of them but I recalled every happy memory Ive ever had with them,and decided to forgive my parents. Thank you. :) God bless you.

  • this guy is the best

  • beautiful... *sniff* where can I get the sheet music?

  • Truly beautiful, touches your heart when you listen...thank you

  • Stunning! But such amazing piano cost around 100.000

  • @Arkanii1 $100? try more like $100,000 unless that is what u meant by the period.

  • @MrRyanromaker Dude i said around 100.000 and i mean Euro not Dollar.

  • @Arkanii1 Not really, I found the best piano of my life in some ones living room and got it for 450$ 

  • It brings tears to my eyes :'( Such a beautiful piece!

  • LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm practicing this song! i love this song

  • Just Beautiful.

  • Does anyone have the link for the song download?

  • This song just makes you think about life and all the ups and downs you've been through with your loved ones and how you overcame it with their love and care. It's too perfect to be true :)

  • wow......... i don't know what to say. My brother loves this song! I rememeber him coming home from the army and playing this. it makes me cry!!! :(

  • This is the most beatiful song i've ever heard.

  • It's sad they didn't use this piece of music in the movie, it is much better then the one they picked!

  • they picked the perfect person to compose this

  • So beautiful.  I love Jon Schmidt.

  • Where can you find the sheet music for this??

  • you can try a google search...

  • is this the actul one from the film???

  • Just plain LOVE it !!!! :-)

  • Youtube downloader baby youtube downloader.

  • Another beautiful imagination for Bella's lullaby :)

  • ad now why the heck does this piece make me cry T_T

  • i've decided to play this before I walk down the aisle...it makes me teary just thinking about marrying my wonderful man <3

  • yea my cousin decided to use the jon schmidt love story/viva la vida for when she walks down the aisle at her wedding! he just writes such beautiful songs!

  • @annieliz85 What a cherished moment. <3

  • I think this SHOULD be Bella's Lullaby, but Carter Burwell's is really good too :)

  • Just beautiful.

  • i think this song is beautiful!

    but i pictured bellas lullaby as river flows in you by yiruma

  • I don't think you can get much more beautiful music than jon schmidt. . . this song especially I could listen to this day in and day out (:

  • @mikisnow1

    YIRUMA makes also very good music...

    the original of the twhilight piana song is from him :)

    Yiruma - Rivers flow in you :)

    I also like Moonlight from Yiruma :D

  • I think his rendering is absolutely beautiful...such a great touch.

  • Well, I wouldn't have picked this one for the movie either, but I like it better than the one they chose. The one in the movie has a whole orchestra and I don't think that's how it's supposed to be... Just my opinion :P

  • wow this song is so peaceful... i like it ;D

  • oh this is sooo beautiful! hm i think ive heard this somewhere befre maybe.maybe it was from the be thou an example CD doesnt matter its amazing

  • this is really pretty, but i don't think it is something edward would write.

  • LOL i agree, in the movie he was just plunking out thirds

  • so you are calling a fictional character in a fantasy novel, a dumb bitch?

  • do u guys know hes mormon!! :)

  • And that matters why? Just because he is Mormon, does not make his music any less touching or beautiful.

  • No, it doesn't and that is my point. I am mormon and have always loved him. I was just trying to tell people that we are NOT what most people say we are (the bad things).

  • (Y)

  • yupp, he wrote quite a lot for the youth's - be thou an example CD :) i love h
