Lara plays 'Gusty Garden' on piano and violin, from Super Mario Galaxy

[SuperZero08]

Beautiful combination, well done :)

[mrndhndhndhndh]

i found your channel tonight and the minute i saw this i wanted to play super mario galaxy again just to hear the music again

[jbmg17]

1:59 I can see the sheet :B

[pianoman11001]

holy cow this is amazing. idk how you managed to play them seperatly but wowww :I.....

[jdmlvn]

would drag my ball sack through 100miles of shattered glass to shake hands of the young chinese laborer that sculpted that violin. :)

[TheCharette]

your perfect performance of this song made me remember the first time I heard this song. It was the trailer of SMG, showing what an amazing game it was going to be and during the trailer this awesome music. Seriously sometime I was just playing to hear this song !! Anyway I just discovered you by searching for "angry birds piano" and found you. It made my day ;)

[RickygoesRawrr]

a talent!

I should try this on guitar and upload it as my next video :)

[Jadecool312]

your really pretty :3 *w*

[KanagJ]

say, have you ever though of styling your hair to look like real life Samus? XP

[bazle64]

Omg. Marry me

[srsharma27]

Hey Lara, I just want to know if you've played every game you've made music of....if so, that's really impressive!

[thiagomoreira13]

Awesome Lara! Can you send me the music sheet for the violin part please?

[lara6683]

@thiagomoreira13 It's by ear, sorry

[Sankaritarina89]

nice ! this is my favorite track from smg :) great cover !

[GabrielCVit]

Epic!

[themightymithrandir]

wow...it's like watching FRINGE...Olivia and Bolivia duet, doing SUPER MARIO GALAXY GUSTY GARDEN theme...super awesome \m/ \m/ \m/ i am pretty sure peter and walter would be very proud :P

[LWRCftw]

@themightymithrandir you mean Fauxlivia. Faux is French for fake, or false, so fauxlivia means false olivia pretty much.

[xGameVision]

1. Pause.

2. Press 9.

3. Press F13.

(Thumbs up if you fell for it ;D)

[AuraScar]

Violin always made me cry. Piano always made me cry. Gusty Garden always made me cry. so you can imagine....... :)

[6bluoltremare]

wow very very beautiful!!! Compliments, you're really good!!!

[joeicatrivante]

Beautiful and talented. Wow.

I'm none of those things! ;D

[888chilly]

Wow! That is very awesome. I've been wanting to try doing a violin duet with myself. Can someone give me some tips?

[Rep13]

You have taken the greatest video game song of all time and made it your own. Bravo!

[Rep13]

You have taken the greatest video game song of all time and made it your own. Bravo!

[pidgelo]

ciao belle passerotte

[SuperDuperAlvaro]

Wow... I loved it!!! I would reaaaaally love to hear the "GoodEgg Galaxy" theme, could you play it pleaseee? :D

[Bo0o0o0o0o0o]

You're... beautiful.

[ParryTFronters]

THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SO MUCH WIN!!!

[bombergal1]

Could you do the Puzzle Plank Galaxy from SMG 2? That would rock!

[Twamtwams]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERY WHERE FOR AN ARRANGEMENT! Thank you so much! I love the piece so much... Almost makes me tear up ; 3 ;

[nightmaredude456]

You need to be a part of an orchestra. Seriously, how the hell did Nintendo NOT pick you up for the 25th Zelda Anniversary Orchestra?! Shame on them, shame >:(

[SuperLm07]

lol imagine solid snake going about with this music XD

[michaelbjerre]

Impressive. That is all.

[Climajr1975]

Você já curte um vídeo game né, gostei dos seus vídeos! Parabéns

[zadra]

You are amazing Lara!

[Darkaura005]

Beautiful performance, stringed instruments forever :P Sounded so perfect.

[bombergal1]

You're very good...check out my videos at bombergal1 of my video game renditions!

[tombraiderxii]

I usually don't like this song (or most of the songs from SMG for that matter) as I find them extremely cheesy for some reason, but I REALLY like this version of it for some reason. It sounds really nice. Thank you. You're really good! :D (envies violin skill... if only I could play like that. fellow violinist here :P)

[Megabine]

How much those a piano like that cost?

That piano just sounds really good, I only have an electric piano and I'm not really happy with it because the notes are simulated :(

[Nicolasduca]

@Megabine

Korg SP-250 with HSR 2.0 and and 30 GB of high quality piano sample. It feels like a real piano and you can make sound it like a real one. Also you will never have recording problems.

[RKinger12]

the thing that makes this easy is that you played the instruments on two different occasions. its obvious because your outfits are different.

;-D

[lara6683]

@RKinger12 haha yeah, actually on close inspection, you'll find that there is no skill involved in my videos at all ;)

[RKinger12]

@lara6683 as i suspected!

but seriously, you are amazing to watch and listen to. your channel is going to get hours of play from my computer.

[andrewnorthcut]

@lara6683 ha ha ha ha ha, no skill, that's funny.

[Buxiga]

@RKinger12 actualy they're identical twins :P

[chachimatthew]

@RKinger12 why not just tell everyone shes a girl since i am sure no one knows lol

sorry it is just that you stating something not only noticeable but that is not important its about the music mostly .

[xx24x7xx]

@RKinger12 , so, wait, she does not play those instruments simultaneously? What the hell, Lara?

[Spyder756]

There are no dislikes for a reason.

[getbuttkik]

haha someone is really into super mario huh? 

[CaptainSteelRain]

Marry me.

[kmilo0o0o0]

Its one of the most beautiful versions i have heard.

and it's so incredible, a beautiful girl playing video games music very well, and there isn't stupid comments like "i wanna f#ck you" or something like this.

P.D. This is my fav track in SMG too :)

[lara6683]

@kmilo0o0o0 i delete those comments :)

[joeshmo156]

One of the best channels on youtube.

[myonlinewebmaster]

Simply brilliant. My mind is blown.

[VanessaDrummond]

Amaaaaaaazing! Congratulations dear! You've chosen two of the best musical instruments. I loved your performance! ;)

[gtorres0403]

Thats cool music to my ears! You can play 2 instruments at once, but its 2 separate videos. Nice one Lara

[Neblung]

My girlfriend and I love video game music. Why cant more ppl be like you and the audience here. The world would be so much better with music like this being appreciated...by more ppl.

[ski25ytona]

Awesome Lara....I showed this to my Mom who is turning 87 this June 18th. She is a violinist for the Melbourne Florida Symphony Orchestra, but had a stroke recently and put down her violin after 80 years of playing. She played for three Presidents during her life as a wife to a Marine Corps Colonel fighter pilot, my Dad. I hope seeing you play inspires her to play for me again. You are GREAT!

[lara6683]

@ski25ytona I hope so too!! I don't think I have played for any presidents :)

[RTSnip]

I love your performance and your smile too. :)

[diogoriba]

[zedcool]

salut vraiment super video, beaucoup de talent, je regarde toutes tes videos avec beaucoup d'admiration. (traduction for you ;) Hi great talent, really, i watch all of your clips with admiration and i wait for others ! Thanks (sorry for my bad english, i'm french)

[P4r4lel0piped]

Is that your twin sister?

[lara6683]

@P4r4lel0piped lol they're both me. Splitscreen video.

[MrRiffraff84]

A GIRL playing Mario games??? O_O

[superhideki]

@MrRiffraff84 In my opinion, I think 50% players are girls and it's a very good thing :)

[MrRiffraff84]

@superhideki I don't think it's bad, I am just surprised!

[Virimpa]

Why you only play game music lara?

[Virimpa]

Why you only play game music lara?

[lara6683]

@Virimpa I don't, there is some theatre and movie stuff too :) But game music is my favourite

[wevan33]

SOO GREAT!

[adrian29459]

Keep doing what you do. I'm now subscribed and look forward to further wonderful game theme arrangements!

[JorDrakonis]

This has over 3k views (far too less IMO) and still not a single downvote, which is totally deserved, but still rare as heck! Congrats!

[venomchickkk]

I like this better than the real music. You have amazing talent =D

[BluishGreenPro]

Amazingly well played, this is also one of the game's best songs, in my opinion.

[munnyfish]

beautiful song played by a beautiful lady.

btw you're mentioned on dorkyl.com

[lara6683]

@munnyfish awesome, thanks, I didn't realise :)

[RiseOfTheNerd]

videos like this only get 1,000 views while garbage like RWJ, Fred and Angry orange get millions of views and subs. you just got a subscriber! :)

[shadowlessoul]

I absolutely love this song from Super Mario Galaxy! And I just made that song my ringtone on my phone too! Your arrangement of Gusty Garden is beautiful. This just made my day. ;)

[MrGudtavosky]

this is incredible D: its very well played, and i didnt notice any sync issues:)

[spinolex]

Well done.



[freakeymonkey]

The world would be a much brighter place with more people like you haha. Its lovely to see someone so good looking and not shallow and stereotypical =P. Stay fresh gorgeous

[JohnSams]

Really nice !!!!! one thing: the piano is just a bit too loud imo, could be better if the violin could be louder so we could hear the melody...

[rawrsam016]

You should totally hit up Koji Kondo, and be in the orchestra for the next Mario game :P.

[lara6683]

@rawrsam016 believe me I would love to!

[shadowlessoul]

@rawrsam016 agreed. ;)

[redrockswe]

Awesome rendition of the song from a cute girl. The song takes me back to so many happy moments. Thank you!

[KanagJ]

650 VIEWS!?!!!?!!? THIS IS BLAPHEMY!!! you win one free internet!!

PD: you kinda remind me of Samus

[nglite]

OMG! DO YOU BELIEVE IF I SAY THAT I'M LOVE WITH YOU? <3

Awesome!!!! XDD

[ThePenFactory]

I wonder how the song "Still Alive" would sound from you... Probably wonderful :)

[myAKQJ10]

Please, please, (please é_è) make something about Ocarina of Time or FFVI / IX. I prefer request a game now before VEVO uploading your videos in a couple of months :D

[Verdegrand]

wow great! i love this. found out about this theme not too long ago (never played the games yet) and it has quickly become one of my favorites. also cool to see you accompanying yourself.

[VaselineOnToast]

Well done!

[welloveraverage]

AWESOME!



[Leichenfaeule]

o_o

[raylegea]

It sounds awesome!

[TheScottishNutcase]

Not pathetcius.

Greatius.

[dsifan122]

that was perfect

[rmcquade19]

WOW!!



[Feroyn]

Crazy crazy girl! Now there's some talent.

[DarothProductions]

hahaxD this is really awesome:P

your vid deserves more views... quite nice performance:D

- Daroth -

[IHaTeD2]

The Splitscreen is cool, very well played.

And Guys, more Votes!

[Exverlobter]

I hope you will continue this concept.

[Bcutter]

141 views is a joke. I was expecting to see at least 200 000 - 300 000 views on this one, but no! This is almost flawlessly played. Beautiful song too, never heard it before!

[lara6683]

@Bcutter well thankyou!! I did only upload it yesterday though :)

[Actraiser1]

Lara is youtube's hidden treasure.. This past month it's been one gem after another!

[lara6683]

@Actraiser1 Thankyou, I'm glad you like my videos :)

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

Double the awesome! This is my favorite track from the game as well. The violin + piano combination is really great; I'm impressed that you can play both. Mad props!

[Anwarboy786]

lo0ve ya hair,

great playing =)

[Lavashield]

Well, this definitely turned out quite well from both a technical and musical standpoint. This format would make for an epic cover of vampire killer I think :)

[Wildsleven]

you're soo goooooddd !!

you deserve more views!

[docnanomusic]

Terrific job, BOTH of... you. ^_^

[jackiechoun33]

it's funny the way you smile after playing violin, cause when you play piano you look very focus, now i guess we just have to wait until you play the saxophone and the guitar i've seen sometimes on your sofa. Anyway you're damn good with your violin !

[SilverHorsy]

Amazingly lovely x2

[Exverlobter]

Wow, you seem to be a musical genius, playing the piano AND the violin that good!!! I am jealous:-)

Great idea with the split-screen BTW.

[daigoro789]

haha, that was really fun and unexpected - great-o!

[lara6683]

@32bitSmoky hahahah

[Arrow9100kj]

=O! Well Im pleasantly surprised! I didnt know you played violin, Lara!! How long have you been playing? You're really good!!

[lara6683]

@Arrow9100kj I played when I was younger, and I haven't picked it up in years, which is why I am a little rusty

[Arrow9100kj]

@lara6683 rusty? If you're rusty then Im.....I'm.....*cries* T_T

[PianoPlayerPete]

Piano *and* violin skills? I think I may need to propose marriage. We can't let geography or the fact I'm terrible at piano myself stand in the way :)

[Oudaen]

Gusty Garden <3 Great job! ;)

[ShinAkuma21]

awesome game awesome soundtrack

[owners9807]

god job!!
