[fosky12000]

omg FANTASTIC

[SlowerEqualsBetter]

ps did anyone else become deeply traumatized after witnessing Artax die in the swamp of sadness?

[LaKritika]

@SlowerEqualsBetter : YES, me! When I saw it for the first time I went into a hysterical breakdown:)

[SlowerEqualsBetter]

that's so awesome! is there sheet music available?

[Egyptana]

WONDERFULL *_*

[capochevy]

muyy buena que recuerdos, nice

[bbbrowsy]

just great!

[92aht]

Woow, this song is so beautiful! Very nice!

[musicmaniac1965]

wow, goosebumps all over.... you played this oh so well! i can almost see this old school movie while just listening to you play this song.

[klerik2222]

ooooohhh Maaaaan :-) EXCELENT!

[munha66]

:,-)

[gooosam]

the best!!=)

[JesuitsRule]

Right at around the 1:35 mark, I just realized it's rather similar to part of Terra's theme from Final Fantasy VI -- actually, for several notes it's identical.

[lara6683]

omg. Nostalgia. Wow! So good.

[myhanguk]

Hey Gijs,

Please stop your "I play be ear so I don't have sheet music" crap. You're always playing on digital piano's, so it would be easy to just record your performance and let the computer do the rest. Admit that you just don't want other people to get your stuff. That's fine, but you should be upright about it.

[lara6683]

@myhanguk maybe they don't have a notation program to do it? They're expensive and it can be a bit of an effort :) this medley is so great.

[ifuliki]

Oh I wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiish I could do that.

Aled

[AlecTrevalyn]

it's people like you, who make the world a little bit better ... :-D

and not the commercial interpretators .... they have no given talent like you, they have money and technology ..... but no talent .... realy a great work ....

[marcoilbello]

hello gijs..if you have a file to can a download?? ..if yes write me at my page...bye from italia

[MelRules911]

[LUNCHBOX762X39]

[Gorthwill]

You´re gifted artist!!! Thank you so much, I like this song very much.

[akumar20]

It's wonderful! Thank you so much:)

[jves]

fantastic

[silverbulletgirl29]

I wish you had a cd for sale! I sure would buy it if copyrights weren't an issue. :} I can play by ear, but I sure as heck can't play like that and that fast! Can you play the theme from Legend with Jack & Lily kissing in the forest when they hold all the animals?

[vampiremiyu86]

This is purely amazing, and to know that you learnt this by ear makes it even moreso. The timing was perfect!!! The swamps of sadness part gave me chills!

[xfuckingstonerx]

Oh my god! This is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! Gorgeous, absolutely brilliant!!! I can't say enough! I absolutely love it!

[RtB68]

65,000 views - and over the years I must be at least 200 of them!  lol. An elegantly played masterpiece. Bravo.

[lordloire]

never ending story is one of those movies that you watch as a kid and you're like wow, then you watch as an adult and think wow, then wtf, then wow again lol epic soundtrack too. good job mate

[markknopsky]

jep you'r right

i have exac;y the same expirience. (sorry for my bad english)

[TheWalrusKing62]

I almost never comment on videos, but I honestly had to this time. This is amazing. I love this. So much. You did an amazing job with this. I would love to be able to play this medley myself at some point. Your Bastian's Happy Flight is just... perfect. Great job.

[am4d3u]

Pretty rich arrangement... I never get tired from hearing it. Congratulations!

[zirgelis]

o yeah!

iam listening to it every morning! ;D

[zirgelis]

ouuuhhh my..

first seconds scared my pretty bad :D :/

M.J.

[MelissaAnnLegard1989]

neverending story is one of the creepiest movies ever! but i like the music somewhat. this is good.

[larry1977]

It's awsome!so many years back... Could you repost with a better sound/vidéo quality? Thank you very much for this post!

[ramzeysid]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE....u must be brilliant by now...i wish i could play by ear like that, how do u do it?! ='(

[mcslaphappy]

Ive tried so many times and failed to attempt this on piano! This inspires me to keep trying!

[Mvek13]

Record it, record it, record it!:-) I would even pay little money for clean audio record of this set! I love original music, but this is something totally different and awesome too.

[Kornich]

Awesome :)

[schneggilein89]

hey :) you inspired me to play songs from the neverending story...it would be so nice if you would check out my version of flight to the ivorytower...and maybe give me some tips to play better :) i posted a video response.

[Val4394]

[tutanklore]

Gijs - I literally listen to this at the very least once a week, if not multiple times a week. I adore this medley! Thank you so much for doing this and placing it up on YouTube!

[eawitt3]

[castoro83]

[arbitterm]

This is amazing.

You should think about re-recording it with your new setup. Might eliminate that hiss in the background.

[markpos1976]

Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you alot? Your'e brilliant :)

[Cunhambebe]

Master, let me tell ya something: This is one of the most precious gifts God can give to a person. Playing by ear; composing, playing the piano so prefectly. Congrats! You have my admiration and respect.

[poodlegirl4848]

I've been watching this video off and on for over 2 years now, it is still my FAVORITE piano medley on youtube.

I know it's probably insignificant of me since I'm just an average joe/jane, but I hereby award thee my honorary Poodlegirl award for best piano medley!

[arbitterm]

An MP3 of this would be wonderful.

[svannyyxxxglobaglob]

Media converter?

[Stynes32]

the way you arranged it is perfect

just like in the movie - you start with the happyness and adventure - the middle shows sadness - the comes hope - then everlasting triumph

gave me a chill down my spine - Masterful

[pdfsmail1]

Suddenly, something enormous...

[StigsBiggestFan]

Awesome!!! By the way the best interpretation of "Bastian's happy Flight" i've heard (0:43+). You really get the feeling of the original song.

[peroxickaxD]

very very nice..my cry for this...x(

[Arcwave]

Was 1:19 written by Moroder? This is really good, I think you should make an MP3 of it!

[xrismoltisanti]

a midi file would be much much better ;)

are there any chances?
