  • Hi Kyle, I started playing piano last year because of your video's. Great hobby. I don't think I will be as good as you are, but the fun is worth the effort!

  • Parabéns! I'm from Brazil and I can say this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life... You're an excellente pianist. I hope you can come to Brazil some day to play for us in a huge stage.

  • @kylelandry omg I love you composition.. I want to play and learn this too but i dont know how to read the music sheets -.- Is there a way that you can do a tutorial for this?

  • I love this song, it has a lot of feeling in it. Im going to start piano lessons soon, hopefully i will be able to play this :p.

  • jesus you are fucking amazing

  • this song has a very j-pop feel to it. i love it <3

  • Listening to your compositions makes me want to go play piano, but I can't cause I have schoolwork to do. Darn you Kyle!

    Great composition btw.

  • 6 people who doesn't like are stupid !

  • Sheets? Overrated. I learn by sight and sound. Well, that and i never properly learned how to read sheets :P

  • 6 people heard this and started to die because they could not handle the epicness. They thought that if they disliked it that it would save them....We all know they were wrong of course. They died twice because of it! (How is this possible? Idk, just don't do it)

  • u have sheets? >_<

  • I love the blue jammies :D

  • this is your only decent composition man, keep improving it and one day sell it

  • Sound like :

    Dream Theater - The Best of Times :)))

  • @Keyboardist18

    Black Clouds & Silver Linings was released in 2009 ;-)

  • @frododoingo987

    yes, i know.. i think dream theater cover this song :)))

  • Gotta say I love this. I do a lot of writing and love to listen to this when I'm writing scenes where the music suits

  • This guy is good, in a non liberache, without the bag of dicks, kinda way. While to me its elevator music and no matter how much weed I smoke, isnt that appealing. You have to give credit. Hes talented most definately, his use of reverb and rounding out his sound is seriously remarkable

  • Comment removed

  • I've been waiting for you to release your sheets for this song since your first posting of this piece. When I listened to it the first time, it was the piece that made me follow your vids. Even after all this time listening to it again, its still my favourite one ;P

  • @3NJay92 you can this sheet now at his website

  • the moment i saw this sheet was online this morning i bought it;) now i got cheerfulness this one and graduation and they are all great!

  • What's it like to know that, THAT, such beauty comes from your finger tips?

  • At this moment, I wish I was the owner of a large video game corporation. Because then, at this very moment, I would give you a job. You're music is so emotionally driven, it needs a vehicle that can deliver the same emotionally response.

  • i think this is my favorite out of all your compositions :O

  • I'm seriously willing to pay for the sheet music dead serious.

  • Awesome! This is such a beautiful song can u plz plz plz do a tutorial on this or plz send me the sheet music it would be greatly appreciated. U r by far the most talented pianist. Awesome job man!

  • You know those artists that put up their random songs that aren't part of their regular CD on iTunes. You should do that with this one. I'd buy it. (psst: I love Red Skies as well). I think I have been following your music on YouTube since... 2006?? early 07? Lol, when White Sun was a new song. LOL! And, even after listening to ~almost all of your songs, I still LOVE this song. Hands. Down.

  • Did you learn to play songs or to play on the piano ?

    And how did you do that ? :p:)

  • i can properly comment a billion times on how beautiful it is but still wont be enough <3

  • and this is exactly why i subscribed to you, amazing ;)

  • So kyle i take it your secretly working on the pathetique sonata from beethoven? Btw i recommend chopin's funeral march as well (really dark piece) and of course the other movements of that sonata if you can play them.

    Meanwhile im at the last page of your comptine :D

  • Your composition has just taken me through a journey of emotions. BEAUTIFUL! JUST BEAUTIFUL! :D

  • Hi Kyle, what do you think of the Yamaha P155? Does it have the same good piano sound as your P120 has?

  • 6 people who only use White Sun in the nose.

  • Dude Kyle,your piano is shaking!!!

    Lol

    You are awfully awesome.

  • Just wondering, but isn't this one of Versailles' song, or part of it taken from the song "Acendead master"?

    Or did you get inspiration from it? just curious :)

    If not, its seriously alike...

    Btw. I love your plays! You are so amasingly talanted!!

    With best regards

    Blunka3 ;)

  • Dude your like an upgraded Chopin.

  • @BushnellxD Upgraded? Hah. Not at all...

  • @kylelandry awesome response, but your close..

    btw do u offer midis of your compositions?

  • Im willing to pay for this song if you put this song "White Sun" down to sheet music with all the keys your playing in this video.

    And Im serious.

    Pies88@yahoo.com my email address

  • @TheOnlyPlankton I actually do have sheets for this, email me at kyle at kylelandry dot c o m :P

  • @kylelandry For free? XDD Starving artists Group ftw

  • @kylelandry Ahh the website doesn't work and I must learn this song! anywhere else I could get sheets for this? ;p

  • @TheOnlyPlankton Really should NOT have done that

  • Still great composition, I have it in my Favourites and watch it now and then. Regularly I get now postings in my e-mail, but I still like this the most.

  • Could you post a sheet music for this?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Definitely one of your best works.

  • beautiful....watch mine? :)

  • you r a master!!! soo good dude, !!

  • is there a music sheet for this!!! it's soo beautiful!!!

  • Wow I'm glad I suddenly clicked on your older vids, this is one of my favourite. =D

  • Very Korean drama sounding.

  • what is the name of the song i know it says white sun but i cant find it anywhere

  • @pantherssamuel  its his own composition

  • sorry is it originally named "white sun"??

    where can i download the script of this piece??

    i search everywhere on the internet !!

    i really wanna try to play it, thx

  • @alanlam2004 It is his original, meaning there are no sheetz for us.

  • @HNXakido There is sheets though :)

  • @kylelandry Bah, that´s really mean, you are teasing me.^^

  • @alanlam2004 Only kyle has the sheets. if you want them, you will have to pay. Tho I can play this by ear.

  • @NortikkaFan97 i actually have sheets. it was up for a short time and i caught 'em. also, the sheets are not this version, its the short version with matt. but im not giving it out cuz kyle wouldnt be cool with it and i dont want that nigga to sue me. but then again... i am ruthless :)) xDD

  • The beginning sounds exactly like the Dream Theater song "The Best of Times," melody, chords, etc.

  • @MERTx123 wooow, it's true...

  • @MERTx12 sorry , but it sounds nothing like the best of times ... even if it did 4 u .. take a look at the posting dates , that album was released in 2009 and this video was posted in 2007 !!!

    good job kyle ,, U R a Genius !!

  • THe best part is 1:21

  • great

  • epic ! :)

  • "Hats off. gentlemen, a genius." ^_^

  • @teodortenchev Not even nearly close,

  • @kylelandry

    In this very piece you are, it happens :)

    It's not just the time you spent studying piano. Most of us will study the same time or even more but will never be able to create music like this. You are EXTREMELY talented.

  • I was improvising earlier and suddenly something sounded familiar and I discovered that it was this song and I haven't listened to this one in forever. Lol.

  • Excellent! Thank you for sharing!

  • This is such an epic song, so fucking epic !!!

  • pure awesomeness..

  • Did he write this down on sheets. I love this song.

  • Don't nag about the name!

    White Sun.

    It sounds gorgeus, even as the music.

  • Lawl, for a song about a sun, he sure is dressed for night time.

    He's in his PJ's.

  • Anyways, going against my own comment, here I am taking up space by discussing with you. In order to live up to my word, I'll be done here. Besides, I don't think there's much else to say.

  • can upload the sheet music in a site and reply all of us the link?

  • You got to give Kyle credit for not taking anything people like kaggypants have to say seriously.

  • Kyle is just smart enough to know the difference between trolling or and serious discussions.

    Too bad you still haven't figured that out.

  • this is one of my favorite favorites... hahaha i have to say:

    I learned some of this by ear and played it at school once... and another girl who heard it recognized it and was like "Hey!!!! I know him! (not really but) Yeah Kyle Landry!!!"

    =D not that you already knew you were pretty famous..... well you are. haha thank you so much for inspiring us and for your music!

  • @PinayCubana No way, that's so unlikely.

  • Got this melody stuck in my head 3 days now! Damn I want to have the sheets on that and play it so much!..I've only been playing for like 6 months so nowhere near as good to play this by ear.

    Are his sheets anywhere? I can understand why he wouldnt upload them but does anyone have any info on this? Anything would be appreciated.

  • lol, you make me laugh

    Kaggypants, but the funny part is that you say that you were playing piano too many years age, then why dont you made a video and show us your ability and then we'lle see whose better even if I know already the answer,, kyle is the first pianist in youtube and I went to play piano just because of him.

  • WTF! If you dont like his music so please dont say enything! just shut the fuck up and go to hell!

  • Dear Kaggypants, you are an idiot.

    Kyle is the best piano player i ever saw! beleave me. im playing on the piano for 7 years. so please SHUT THE FUCK UP~! FUCKING IDIOT!

  • I'm confused as to why a "mature" individual such as Kaggy feels the need to criticize a 19 year old kid for entertaining the internet public. Guesses:

    1) Kaggy is jealous that a 19 year old has surpassed him in talent at something he has done for "longer than you've been alive" (please post vid if untrue)

    2) Kaggy is frustrated at the fact that his english degree will only make him 35k a year for the rest of his life and finds comfort in posting eloquent video responses.

  • I'm flattered that you also think I have a degree in English. Though it's true I could have majored in anything, I chose something more fulfilling.

    But of course you realize the ironic contradiction in your own logic, right? If I were to pursue the piano in a serious fashion like Kyle has done, I would make far less than I do now (which is his inevitable fate).

    Plenty of doctors and doctorate-types have talents on the side. They simply chose to become something other than the starving artist.

  • Perhaps you could even derive another irony from the fact that I've been writing argumentative-type debates on forums for quite a while now. It's very relaxing.

    And it is also extremely entertaining when people do fall for even the most obvious trolling attempts.

  • Comment removed

  • As for jealously:

    I suppose I would be extremely jealous if Kyle had some other area where he excelled at on top of playing the piano at such an advanced level.

    But he doesn't. Why would I be jealous of someone who borderlines the stylings of Martha Argerich? He is no child prodigy and his fame is derived from YouTube alone.

    I hope he makes something out of his career in our era of post-modernism to prove me wrong. But pieces like this just point out that it's unlikely.

  • Kaggypants, I understand where you are coming from, but I don't see it necessary to post 8+ comments. The comment section in this video should be used to discuss Kyle and his musical ability. It's the reason why were all watching this anyways. Again, I'm not the type of person to become sucked into pointless internet arguments, and since most people that do tend to never stop, please don't take this personally.

  • Finally a decent rebuttal.

    But I have a feeling you are seeing my 8 consecutive comments because you are not clicking "view all comments" at the bottom of this video. It will show you exactly who I replied to.

    My point is that art evokes opinion naturally. You either like it or you don't (post modernism with a hint of modernism in there).

    But you need to approach this with an unbiased perspective and understand both sides of the argument to truly express an educated opinion.

  • Good point, but I was really only saying that it is unnecessary to make so many replies to so many people on this video. If this page was a forum or something of the sort with that purpose, it would be just fine. But still, I suppose you can do what you want -- you have different intentions and opinions than I do.

    Also, I'm glad you see my comment as a decent, rather than something done off the top of my head. I talk like this when I feel it's needed.

  • I realize that every one has their right to opinion...but how can you say that Kyles only talent is playign the piano? im not a very smart person but i think your just wanting to argue ...Kyle is amazing and if you don't like his composition then fine thats your opinion. i think he is great and im leavign it at that. You should try holding your toung...some people let people like yo uget to them and damage their future.

  • What exactly has he shown us besides his advanced piano playing? His improvisations are amazing. His recital-type songs are amazing. I simply don't like his compositions. Big deal. I still am enthusiastic when he posts an improv or a recital-like piece (see: Inochi No Namae). But he really has nothing else.

    Kyle is too busy to deal with something as insignificant as YouTube comments on his videos. Even if he were, he would not let my words get to him. He has talent. Let's see how far he gets.

  • You don't know him on a personal level, so you have no right whatsoever to judge his worth as a person. I am not judging you, but I feel you have some issues. You are just being negative, there are positive and negative comments, and you are taking it far beyond negative when you say such things. And don't try to act nice when your final sentence sums up how you feel.

  • You wrote:

    "I am not judging you, but I feel you have some issues."

    I translated:

    "I'm not an idiot, but I feel the need to contradict myself in the independent clause of this very same sentence."

    I wish everyone were more like you...handing me ready-made rebuttals. This method allows me to not waste time contemplating the degree of worthlessness that your opinions fit into.

    ありりー

  • Well then, I am quite happy I made your hobby of finding random internet people to pick pointless fights with easier. I for one am happy we have an English Major wannabee ruining nearly anyone's chance at happiness with such cheery comments about their thoughts.

    It makes almost anyone seem saint-like in comparison. Nonomori

  • Why would someone who isn't in college speculate as to the major of someone you don't know? Or did you purposefully misread not only my profile but the comments below?

    I've got a wonderful idea: get into college, take English I, and then get back to me. Your reading comprehension alone is poor enough...tack on the worthless/asinine rebuttals and you pretty much have the qualifications to become an interior design major.

    Then again, you most likely won't make it into college. Crushed dreams~

  • Your debating skills amaze me, I am fully aware of your Computer Science major, I am even aware of your oxymoron of a statement, "I do have to feel sorry for this new generation of kids who rely too heavily on the Internet". You misread my statement, I meant that even though it is not your chosen profession (Wannabe means "want to be", who would have thought?) you still attack people by ignoring the parts of their argument that were valid, then attacking their intelligence. Real humble of you!

  • Where are these valid parts? Almost all of these 'arguments' presented actually fall under a common fallacy known as ad hominem (technically, personal attack).

    You know a fallacy is an error in argumentative logic correct? If someone has used erroneous logic to formulate a rebuttal, why waste time responding to it? Please do point to examples of valid arguments and I will happily respond to them. But I have yet to see one (except this one, ironically). =)

  • why do u hav to give lectures on the computer, when people are JUST TRYING TO WATCH A VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • And keep in mind there is a character limit. It's best to message me if you really want to debate properly.

  • @Kaggypants

    Well someone's an elitist asshole. I didn't realize a piece of paper made you more intelligent. *shrugs* You learn something everyday.

  • You mean to tell me you don't realize that a master's degree makes you more intelligent than a high school graduate? A doctorate in philosophy makes you more intelligent than both?

    It's called the education system. It's actually the entire basis behind it. Go do some research into it. =)

    YouTube comments never cease to amaze me..

  • Oh I think I understand. So learning in alternative ways makes you less intelligent than spending thousands of dollars to "proove" that you know what you know. I'm not aloud to be a knowledge thirsty human who couldn't afford to go to a college, so I must be a complete idiot since I didn't have the money to get a degree.

  • You can be 'knowledge-thirsty' all you want...but if you do not know how to properly research and study a topic, you are not as intelligent as people who do (generally, higher level high school and college students).

    Superior cognitive function forms as a result of exposing yourself to a variety of subjects with instructors to show you how to properly study the subject. Without the instructors' guidance, you are merely someone who is curious about a part time hobby.

  • could you maybe just shut up. You can hide behind your words al you want fancy pants, but you know what.. nobody is gratefull for your little lectures, so just cut it out. And that dictionary definition in your earlier comment was one of the lamest things i've ever seen. If you dont expect people to understand the words your using, why use them in the first place? you just want everyone to know that you are the smartest and most literate person here. Good job, everybody thinks youre a douche

  • Then do the logical thing and use the ignore feature or stop reading them, imbecile.

    Was that vernacular understandable for someone of your intellectual stature?

  • I understand that there is the education system, but it doesn't mean that a person is more intelligent because he/she has a higher degree. And about your earlier comments about Kyle...I agree with Kweh49. You don't know anything about him on a personal level so you shouldn't judge, but I am slightly confused. Why are you complimenting him of his talent and yet thinking negatively of his talent? I'm not trying to favor either sides or at least I'm not trying to. Sorry for the long speech.

  • Actually, it does when it comes to certain subjects.

    I can judge people however I wish.

    I can compliment his talent at the piano and still dislike his composing techniques. Take a minute to think about that one before replying.

  • I'm amazed. You're a great debater. :) You're right. You CAN judge people however you want and it really depends on whether people will believe it or not. I guess that's why people are trying to tell you that you're wrong. Though, on the more positive side, your comments make this comments page a lot more livelier. Though I'm STILL not agreeing with your view of his piano composing techniques. :) Hope he doesn't mind that I'm using all this space to debate with you on his composing techniques.

  • To each his own? If we all liked the same things, this world would be very boring. Obviously a great deal of people like his compositions. More power to him. I like his piano technique and his improvisations. It's quite a handy set of skills and will definitely help him in future compositions...since improvisation is just knowing the basics about key signatures, major/minors, chord progression, etc.

  • Yeah exactly Kaggy, I hate my older compositions too i.e. all the piano compositions I have posted on youtube. They are generic and thoughtless.

  • @kylelandry I'd be proud to be able to play an original Landry

    If you sell transcriptions of your composition one day, please mail me!!

  • Good point. Ooh. I think I understand now. I think... I'm often called an idiot and I think this just proved it. Hmm... I gotta give this some more thought. Thanks :)

  • @Kaggypants Once again, a YouTuber who flaunts his huge lexicon of English jargon. fantastic. I have no qualms about your opinions, just want to say that you are the first person who have quite impressed me with you command of the language, and i applaud you. cheers.

  • I'm sorry to agree as i do love this piece but 'Kaggypants' does make very logical and constructive arguments, his opinion and certainly use of vocabulary may seem like he is belittling you but his facade is impressive and he should not be criticised for his use of proper english alas your as well as everyone elses retorts towards him are not necessary if the point of his statement had been recieved.

  • @Kaggypants

    HAHA! nice.

  • Whoever taught you how to play the piano should be given an award or a HUGE cash supplement, xD!

  • its better on imp 6 or 7? you know it kyle

  • I don't know what that guy was talken bout, I love the whole thing^^

  • I Didnt Like The End,But Nice Job.

  • I have listened to a few of your compositions... Amazing :)

  • truely amasing

  • your music truly sways me like my emotions are so unstable when i listen to your music and they just change over and over, this is lovelyyyyyy shit

  • once again kyle,your compositions are amazing

  • this is a bipolar music !

  • is white sun the real name or does it have another name

    cuz when i searched for it on itunes and the net, it dint exist

  • it's an original song. he wrote it

  • he composed it.

  • Yay for Chopin!

  • lol, yeah, i scoped that out too. XD

    YAY!

  • thats sum soolid material

    especially that climax point

    oh and how far of a reach do u have... jus twondergin

  • Amazing... *sighs* I'm so envious of your talent. I wish I had that too... :D

    *cough*shareyourblessings!*cou­gh*

    haha!! :D Anyways, I love your pieces, really - truly magnificent.

  • Amazing music

  • Comment removed

  • Very nice.

    I like all the variations on the main theme.

  • you should compose for square enix.

  • TUTOOORIALLL !!!!!!!!!! :P

  • Hey, love your work. I think I like this best of your pieces. The theme has an amazing feel to it, a tragic bitterness combined with determination and optimism. At least that is what I hear. Claire (from Australia, using her friend Regan's account. Ha!)

  • love song... i love ur song...!

  • cough suck up..  \/

  • He wrote this song himself so don't ask for the sheets because first, you can't play this song like him, second, it's copyright!

  • sounds familiar...

  • Does anyone have the piano piece for white sun cuz i'm desperately trying to find it.

  • youre playing so fast that the piaano is shaking LOL and good playing

    Do you have sheet music for this cuz i cant find any

  • u wont cuz i think he wrote it himself.

  • You are so talented!

  • i hate you yet love you at the same time....really jealous you dont know how much i want to learn to play the piano everytime i hear it, it moves me i love it the sound of it

  • I love listening to this in the background during the Spring mornings..

  • this is definately my favorite of all your compositions, kyle. keep being awesome!

  • You are fantastic with music.

    I think it's funny how nearly all of your songs are titled as follows:

    (Color) + (Element of Nature)

    Keep it up. ;)

  • My favourite of Kyle, I love the changes in tempo and the emotion of the song. The anger and despair after the silent moment on 3:00 is brilliant. (that's my interpretation though)

  • ok kyle i've been listening to this song for 1 year and a half now maybe, we need sheet music for it i want to play this so badly, i'd pay anything for this, if you need help writing it out, then just buy or download sibelius for your computer, plug in your keyboard and play it, it cop'is the notes onto the computer, then post the song somewhere, i need to be able to play this song. cheers

  • be honest how many chicks do u get wit the piano?

  • Insane from 3:48 and on...Nice work...

  • Of course "Chopin's" and "chopinish", mea culpa.

    Best regards and keep up the brilliant work.

  • I love this song so much :) my fav.

    I think that you put Chopen's score book on stand not by accident, because your waltz is very chopenish.

  • the beginning sounds familiar....

  • I'm still awestruck by this composition.
