MOTHER2 - Smiles and Tears

[ZONICvsMARIO]

i prey... and i beat the game.

[unionofonion]

I always wondered what that bottle in the corner is.

[PuurfectSushi]

@unionofonion LIQUOR ;D 

[supershellmario]

I can play marimba and stuff but I now really want to start playing Pianno just so I can lear the Mother series songs. Is that wierd? Maybe, but it's for a good reason.

[ToastMaster623]

@supershellmario Marimba is pretty awesome too.

[NoteStalker]

exactly what i was looking for!! this is like a hundred times better than the original arrangement of smiles and tears, if not the best!!! you, sir, are amazing! <3

[Paikerchu13]

Needs more "I miss you"

[aclsuNERD]

I absolutely love the music MOTHER has, and I love listening to good piano player's play it. Brings back so many memories... *sniffs* The series always reminds me of what's it like to be a kid, the third installment reminds me of myself now though... <3 MOTHER/ EarthBound forever and ever and never forgotten!

[sami3am]

the sheet music link isn't working for me... if it was working for anyone else, can u please tell me how to get it??? thanks.

[CountryKid1010]

Brilliant. I am in tears. Got to figure out how to play this now...

[Kukiri]

Ok, i'm about to cry, and clapping.... xD

[sami3am]

man, who in the world could dislike such an extraordinary piece of music??? I just got to say man, this piece is absolutely beautiful, and you have made it much more sensational, and for that, i applaud you.

[megagamer797]

lol got drunk earlier

[Konnytu]

@kB5ka Type in Youtube to mp3 on your search bar and select the 2nd url that comes up. You will know what to do when you get to the site.

[kB5ka]

Is there a downloadable recording of this somewhere?! :D

[Eternaguy]

No crying until the end? How can you make it past 3:25?

[MotherandYoshiFan]

2:01 to 2:09 blows my mind

[asyura1121]

俺がガキの頃にmother2やってた時のこと思い出してこの曲­聴いてみたらあの頃が懐かしくなってきた。必死になってクリアし­たことを思い出したら馬鹿だったなぁ〜って思ったよww

[nwap92]

esta muy buena gracias =D

[agsiar]

*sniff*

;.)

Gracias.

[schmittenful]

si @agsiar 

[agsiar]

@schmittenful

Ccreo que te equivocaste al responderme con ese "sí" porque yo no vi que te haya preguntado nada :)

Checa, a lo mejor era alguien más a quien le querías responder.

.. O a lo mejor y sí, pero nomas no encuentro :P

[shigeyan0427]

う、うまい！

[Superlol020]

For some reason, i can see this being played in a wedding.

[CaptainTortellini]

<3

[XoNicolehedgieoX]

I can't stop crying to this, no matter how hard I try....i know they tell you now crying till the end...but...it really is hard....such nostalgia....

[legogamer98]

As Ness Lucas and Ninten say,

No crying until the end.

[mooper11]

just love how theres a bottl next top your piano

[emmeg516]

Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo all lived happily after...

MEANWHILE ON TANETANE ISLANDS

[segonyosoftendo]

@emmeg516 what about nowhere islands, tanetane was the place with the octopus, mixolydia, and the trippy mushrooms.

[breloom657]

that was awesome :)

[scalchild10]

EarthBound...

Something that makes you laugh when you fight a pile of puke, or meet a dude with a funny name (Poo)

Or loathe your fat neighbor,

Own five moles who all say they're the 3rd strongest of their group,

Or fight an entity of darkness that people keep saying is a fetus, whch actually is just a scary face that can be resembled as a fetus so SHUT YOUR MOUTHES!!!

...

And a place, that just brings pure pwnership.

Yeah.

The 100 dollar price on eBay should be higher

[o0kyuji0o]

@scalchild10 the list goes on...

Or beat a homeless dog with a baseball bat...

Or sell mushrooms that grow on your head to a girl who will buy it for 50$...

Or when you face a fully grown mobster leader with knives and beat him...

[scalchild10]

I'm so happy NINTENdo made EarthBound.

Oh, and seven people got brutally raped by Pokey.

[scalchild10]

I'm so happy NINTENdo made EarthBound.

[supershellmario]

Dude this is one of my least favorite songs in the mother series and you made me love it! 5 starts!

[hjiuhfhrehui]

love it

[ScorpionFire96]

@GDmetallic No pun NINTENded.

[Caecenno]

Is that a bottle of liquor on the piano?...

[marklenthecool]

guarenteed masterpiece.

[rengetutuji]

this is nice

[pringlesguy1]

7 Starmen watched this video :( Beautifully played, thank you

[kB5ka]

My heart feels nice.

[Eurt76]

I want to someday make sheet music for the 16 melodies and play it in band.

[Caecenno]

@Eurt76 How much would you pay for that? I can make it happen ;o

[MLXfan]

This is one of the few songs that make me cry when I listen to it, I love it, you played it perfectly and I wish that I had a keyboard of my own just to play this song.

[videogamefreak333]

This music has a certain magic to it that erases all sadness, worries, and fears, leaving a sense of nostalgia and peace. I bet if they play this song to people suffering from depression and anxiety and they will be immediately cured.

[LeleOtaku]

omg i'm crying now...

[GDmetallic]

mother 2

not just some datas on a cartridge, pure awesomeNESS

[universallogin1290]

This dude has to be a starman to play the song this good!

[crazyantsboy]

I find that bound togethers arrangment of smiles and tears to be beautiful

[Bossier1]

:.( this music reminds me of my Grandfather...

[ClangerSchmoo]

Just a tad slower. Your tempo is a tad too high.

[lovepirate14]

Is that booze sitting on the piano? haha

[jthwdraco]

some people know it as mother 2 some as earthbound but we all know it as not art, not an icon but true happieness and fun what every kid should have in his life

[PabloM02]

sublime.

[pkcrossing89]

There are 7 people in this world that hate this.

That's just sad.

[IammeoramI]

@pkcrossing89

They must be Starmen or something.

[teddiesage]

I miss my childhood...

[noeyedeer2jk89sx]

@teddiesage

Don't we all, ya know, mark Twain said that you should hold on to your dreams and illusions, because once they are gone, you're just not living anymore.

[teddiesage]

@noeyedeer2jk89sx Thanks.

[shadthekitsune]

Thank you very much for the sheet music!

I swear, by the end of this year, I'll be able to play this as awesome as this =D!

[Pwa08]

Love the Song but does he have to get drunk before he plays what is that on his piano?

[valzilla2000]

I haven't lived as long as adults have.

I only have my bike and red cap.

A smile, a tear, and you in my heart.

And also my baseball bat.

[TheLaptopuser1]

@valzilla2000 The times we laughed and the times that we cried.

No matter what, you were there by my side.

I thought the two of us were just friends

but I hid feelings inside.

[nintendoin93]

original is better

[PKElements]

Hey great job. Very very well done and thanks a bunch for the sheet music:-) This is beyond awesome.

[kyledraws]

This is amazingly amazing in an amzing way. U gained 1000 awesome pts my friend! :D :) XD

[TheHornet79]

Thanks for making me smile and tear! Thats how good you are!

[scotteous]

Sounds great, and thanks for posting a link to the sheet music! That's very handy. :)

[jakerjak72]

AkumaUchitoru is talking about different games that have meaning I'm guessing.

[tree2992]

wtf is AkumaUchitoru talking about?

[xPBxProductions]

is that sake on the piano?

good music indeed

[AkumaUchitoru]

God, every time I hear Piano music now, I think about Eternal Sonata.

That game was amazing, but it lacked in the main story to me. Everything in between is what made it special, not the main story around the evil, sadistic Count Waltz.

My ex-girlfriend was insane and practically fell in love with his English actor. It's no wonder she dumped me when I tried so hard to love her and for her to love me back, even though I lacked the heart to truly care for her...

I tried so hard...

[AkumaUchitoru]

But me? I fell in love with the amazing voice of Frederic Francois Chopin, an amazing dreamer who reminds me of myself that loses his mind with lots of life problem as well as a terminal illness.

I don't have a terminal illness, but I got ashtzma (sp) just like Ninten.

It was so sad in the game that I didn't have Loid and I couldn't even cure him of it... He just kept coughing and coughing... And then he got killed...

I couldn't do anything to save him...

But his courage and will to live bhb

[AkumaUchitoru]

Frederic Francois Chopin seems underrated, at least to me. I never knew about him until that game was finally made.

Every Xbox 360 game is bad? Every 21st Century game is bad?

Not a chance. The game may need more improvement, but it's one of the many things that changed my life. I love that game a lot.

Even the battle quotes in the game were so awesome.

Frederic had his 14 year old sister die from Tuberculosis, and he got it and died at 39. He tried his best to tell Fantasy from Reality.

[AkumaUchitoru]

In the words of Beauty and the Beast:

"There may be something there that wasn't there before."

Revolutionary games and so on can change the world. TRULY Revolutionary games. It's all in the HEART.

[Siberianhusky89]

Naw, Chopin is widely known among fans of Classical music, for example, one of his most famous pieces, Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2. You can sometimes watch movies and hear that song played during comedies for some odd reason...

[thedudethatdoestuff9]

and got so far, but in the end, it doesnt even matteeer!

[toshio1334]

more than just a game if this song is able to bring back memories or nostaglia

[anthony214996]

isnt this earthbound0 or mother not mother2 cuz im playing right now and it usally know for mother/earthbound

[Kishiru324]

No they have a very similar intro but this is indeed the one from Earthbound. :3

[thesupertailsdoll]

Anthony214996 this is from mother 2 known as EarthBound

[DIMORULEZ]

wow...

that was just wonderful

[zero34]

its good to me and i love the song too!

[smb40]

This literaly melts my heart!

[pkcrossing89]

Mother....You Had Me

[starmanjr123]

God this song is so sad for me but I dont think there could be a better ending for the game.

[helbovine]

This playing is off the hook. It makes the melody sound so flawless.

[smb40]

Not one note miss!

Complete Perfection! :)

[detonateasplode]

Very wonderfull. S&T never sounded so good to me untill now. Beautiful. Not enough words can describe this. ^_^

[BooStar18]

True, i never heard this so good before

[guatedude13]

Ness: *teardrop* "I Miss You..."

[devowen123]

@guatedude13 Paula that night: Ness! You can always use PSI Teleport

[Supadood]

awesome

[OnikakushiXRENA]

No crying until the end....

[triforceman1000]

@OnikakushiXRENA I cried in about the middle :')

[yunaandcloud]

love this songg :D

[KTiskewl3]

this one kid is gonna transpose it for mairmba(woo marimba) and play it my senior year. boys gonna make me cry!!! ;_;

[takiiruru]

DRUNK ON EARTHBOUND <3

[KingLucas01]

piano > keyboard all the time

[jazonbourne915]

the piano is a timeless instrument, and if you knew anything about music then you would know that. but apparently you dont....

[zedrein18]

Is that a bottle of rum I see over there?

[margariitaZ]

great great

[meltedpoo0987]

this is better than the version i uploaded......waaa

[UareOreocrazy]

That is an amazing keyboard and you're good ^^

[BUFFALODUDE44]

This song nearly makes me tear up. Amazing playing job. This is better than the one found on the Mother 1+2 OST! :O

[PankeymanProductions]

Great job! Hope you can play other Mother songs for us on the piano. Theme of Love would be a good one.

[RapidRPM]

Very good. Are you going to play more tunes from the Mother series?

[RapidRPM]

Very good.

What model keyboard is that?

[Lumaga]

Oh, God. The key change left me speechless.

[carljenk]

だいすきだいお　That was amazing.

[Kanaru92]

I don't hear any fucking up.

This is amazing.

[arpee9216]

ilostatsolitare, I didn't hear anything at 2:31

and even if he did mess up, SO WHAT!? He's playing this for FREE it's not like you paid anything.

Thank you for taking you time out to play this beautiful song on your piano. I appreciate it.

[Kanaru92]

They?

Looks like one person playing to me.

And it sounds fine, I don't understand the "fucking up".

Perhaps you should take your own advice.

[crazy1111111111]

dont be a hater...just enjoy what you get...he played just fine

[kubotti00]

ＭＯＴＨＥＲの音楽は、音楽自体にやさしい心があるような気がす る。聞いてるだけで涙が出てくる。

[katsu0katsu0]

とってもいいです。

motherへの愛感じます。ありがとう。

[AikouNoTeichou]

I almost cried. :(

[HAK2222222]

thanks.

[HAK2222222]

do you have the sheet music anywhere? the link dosen't work.

[AJ29FF12]

You need to take the space out

[calumbowen]

so pretty, but where was the "i miss you", that makes the song!

lovely lovely though.

[Dezsi]

Is the title of the song really - I mean "officially" - smiles and tears? Because I had both of them while listening to the song in the game. In any case, very fitting.

[meeps4tetris]

am i the only one that tears up while listening to this song, every time? not just this awesome piano version either. its not like bawwling but I get two immense tears in my eyes everytime

[StormArrow]

only when i am drunk (no jokes, actually), and I happen to get this compulsive behavior of listening to the real video game song in that particular state :P i always tear up when the "I Miss you" comes and that highest trumpet note goes at the end of the song. LONG LIVE EARTHBOUND

[jasonsgroovemachine]

Ditto that... I do that sober.

[locke103]

you and me both, dude

[blahmaen]

Mother 2.

Not just a game, a piece of art.

[TyeNee]

^ This.

[POTATOESLOL]

Mother 2.

Not just a game, the icon of the 20th century.

[RaffoPhantom]

No,of all RPG's,and maybe of all games ever,

[AkumaUchitoru]

So true. A game CAN have meaning. More meaning than you know...

[qorkbro]

@blahmaen not only a pice of art a masterpice

[noeyedeer2jk89sx]

@blahmaen

Not only a piece of art, it can also be played as a video game, how odd!

[RockXIII]

@noeyedeer2jk89sx

Kinda like Ookami, except in a different fashion.

[TheFearOfOne]

@noeyedeer2jk89sx you just rephrased his comment... you just reversed it

[TyeNee]

2:03-2:10 ;_;

[rockerchick428]

that is beautiful

besides that, I am truly speechless

[kubotti00]

ＭＯＴＨＥＲの音楽は、音楽自体にやさしい心があるような気がす­る。聞いてるだけで涙が出てくる。

できれば...ＭＯＴＨＥＲ1シリーズもお願いします！

それにしてもＭＯＴＨＥＲシリーズをさらに際立てる弾き技術。最­高です。感謝。

[KAZUK1920]

やっぱりＭＯＴＨＥＲの音楽は最高ですね

[Vysard]

I wish I'd seen this movie last year when you posted it. This would've made a heck of a lot better early birthday present than what I received. x3

[aznricyboy]

Earthbound has very simple songs, yet they are very beautiful when played.

This is definitely one of my favorite. Nice job :)

[PebblePeas]

2:03 That part gotten TRULY EPIC! O__O

[Mark96706]

LoL only recently was when I realized that the last four parts of the main melody was Ness' victory theme on Melee and N64 Smash games.

[DarkLink9393]

And if you listen closely, you'll realize that the four other melodies are in Fourside.

[credman]

Where is this arrangement available?

[DrasticMan2006]

wow, dude. amazing.

[vevemon]

I love this song so much

it makes me cry every time I hear it.. ):

[calumbowen]

spesh the "I miss you" bit.

(i have yet to watch this video in full, but i'm hoping & begging the pianist will just SAY IT!)

:}

[Tanukicheese]

I loved hearing you play. =)

[Jammushroom]

huh you don't actually use this against Giygas (only gigue) at all, huh?

No wonder it killed his alien form.

If emotions are his weakness, this is like a freaking atom bomb.

[SmashFiles]

well, the eight melodies totally uberifies ness. like, +300 HP and +400 PP.

[SuperMimbles360]

After he defeats the evil inside his mind

[skykid]

Is that cheap bourbon sitting on the keyboard?

[SmashFiles]

lul, buess comment ever. Except for the faggot part of course :P

[CMB505]

As I listened to this peice, one phrase always kept on coming in my head;

When Life is full of sunshine and dew

or when it's storms are crashing into you

remember this one thing that I know

through Smiles and Tears love will grow

this is one of the most truest things that ever came up in my head, through all of your trials that your going through..remember that there's someone out there who still loves you and they'll always be there to love you and miss you when you're away from them

[CMB505]

Because my friend this song touches me in a special way.....not THAT way those who have minds in the gutter -_-

I'm not trying to be dramatic, I'm stating my opinion like all of you do, except I express more opinion than most.

[NEDMcat]

those actually sound like the actual lyrics

[CMB505]

huh, I just made them up in my own head....they did fit with the melody, but again I fully made up them words

[Milenko292]

MANLY TEARS ;_;

[da2730da]

do you have a sheet music for that?
