Graduation (original composition)

[TheSwali]

haha 3:55 i was like "so he does have three hands!.. its just invisible."

[TheMontrealVlogger]

Man... I'm about a year and 9 months away from graduating, and I'm already feeling emotional effects about it...

[piano3479]

9 people didn't graduate.

[GenesisAkAGaton]

this music totally looks like a pokemon theme!

[cows97]

@GenesisAkAGaton *Sounds :)

[vakskates]

sounds familiar, but hey i still think its great :) i am also a pianist and i hope my original compositions will one day get as much attention as yours, although i did just started uploading videos haha, anyway, check em outtt

[loverofcolors95]

i would just like to know how people can click the dislike button....do they have no musical ear at all?!

[paahwhooa]

Amaaaazing..!Perfect.!!

[mrjwowza]

E GAD!!!!!!!!! I LOVE RACHMANINOFF!

[pandaloveification]

lol i can understand why you didnt throw your cap lol . you dont wanna lose that thing ecspecially if your renting it xD

[kenytiger]

How can i feel sad and happy the same time ?

[mrjwowza]

I'm about to start my senior year and I am already getting teary-eyed about graduation lol

[Keyblade00]

Amazing. . . @.@

Looks like the last part is inspired by the "Hercules - Go to distance"

Great composition. As expected. :D

[chris110012]

@Keyblade00

Haha this was made before his Go the Distance video

[RyStears]

Awesome!!!!

[1MoreTurn]

Why didn't this play during my High School Graduation last year???

[12bongo3]

haha i just stumbled upon this on my brother's graduation XD

nice work.. keep going =D

[zellator]

Damn I wish I started playing piano when I was young!

[80gamer]

@zellator me dos

[TwiddleXTormenT]

Hee-hee-hee. Feels like kindergarden graduation. x)

[llJorgelI]

dude... im speechless. That was AMAZING!! good job!

[Wouterr14]

Very nice, the technique at the ending isn't that from your "hercules I can go to the distance" upload? It's nice to see how well u use the techniques of other songs for new songs:d

[fierypiano]

@Wouterr14 He used that technique in hercules but he got the idea from this composition.

[ThaPianoDude]

the ending blows my mind

[36DRAGONBOY]

WOW!! absolutely stunned

[TurKdiRty]

sounds like a hollywood animated film end credits music after some sort of reunion

[QuickAtTheKeys]

I LOVE IT

[L4RSLink]

@kylelandry I saw you sell these sheets on itune. Are the sheets exactly the same as you play it in this video? Because I like this version way way better than the one in your album!!!

[fierypiano]

@L4RSLink No the sheets follow the cd version

[Zorbus101]

Wow, you play godly sir. You send my original graduation piece to goodwill. :)

[liamburge88]

By the way, that was a really beautiful peice, forget out all the technicalities and the ability to play amazingly (though real pluses) I find it was such an emotional peice and it sounded like sooo much heart was given in the playing.

[Jezamare112192]

I think that the darker lighting gives it a romantic touch. :)

[InfinityIsDeath]

How the hell did you do that riff with the right hand at the end?

[delrosariokr]

this song is sooo Happy and cheerful! thats why its sooo frickin awsome!

you are the best kyle!

[TheGingaPanda]

my jaw dropped at 3:17 to 4:04, how you kept up that riff in the right hand with not a single mistake was just remarkable. dam i wish we had american schools in england... =P

[azneyes123]

I listened to this song on recommendation, and I'm really glad I did. One thing though, even though I really don't usually do this, I was a little disappointed by the ending. I just thought that there was so much building up to that point, and it just all slid away, literally. I just thought that you could do so much better, and I bet you could. Maybe the glissando wore your fingers out? =]

[skkiittllezz]

@yomaster29 he probably wont sharon will be like needs to be more poppy sounding

[xxAsteriskxx]

This makes me think of the Legend of Zelda meets show tunes.

[ashleysbigfans]

@xxAsteriskxx that made me smile.

[fourarms1543]

I wish I was good enough to play this song if the sheets were downloadable ._.

If I start piano lessons by the end of 8th grade maybe ill be good enough to play this for Senior year at high school

Love this song its my absolute favorite composition from you ^^

[sammyboi1923]

You Are AMAZING i love your playing and this song.

Im going to start learning it. Can you tell me the chords for it

[bethany92596]

@sammyboi1923 im not completely sure, but i think you might be able to find sheet music on his website

[k3ndr493]

I absoultely LOVE this piece. My favorite one of yours. It's so...dynamic, and the title fits it perfectly. I can imagine what is going on in a students mind before graduation, and i can see clearly when they are handed their diploma.. VERY GOOD. Love it !

[tigerg4]

i was awe-struck the entire time!! haha great job :)

[SenatorSparkman]

You've started with a brief fanfare and then move into this. I was wondering, if I sent you one of my orginial pieces, would you play it since I can't play piano?

[xNARLAx]

i feel like that right now :D gonna listen to it the morning of graduation!!

[concertoldham]

hah havent watched this in a while. i almost forgot that insane run at the end. uh maze eeeng

[BlueSmoothie4Eva]

Me and my friend found sheet music similar to this, so I played it, recorded it and we danced to it in a comp! We won first place! Thanks for the BRILLIANT peice

[yummyskater]

congrats!

[KHlove96]

i found this musics today in your vids

VERY AWSOME!!!

[BlueSmoothie4Eva]

That is soo simple yet soo COOL!!! :D

[BlueSmoothie4Eva]

1 word - WOW

:D

[yugureikigal]

i totally love this piece!! great!

great talent indeed! ^_^

[unameitshow]

you should totally become famous and more awesome then you already are(which will be pretty darn hard) then make the sheets for this and then put it up for free for people to print off the internet!! ^^ but only if you want to....though i dont know how anyone could play this....its just that amazing....

[InfinityIsDeath]

I tosrt of reminds me of my grade 8 graduation, but it isn't nearly as big as a high school graduation. I must remember to look at this video 4 years from now.

[Wittmannn]

Right.

You already know I've got you in my "Mad Skills"-folder. Just keep it up, please.

Rest.

But damn you if you don't use all this talent. You can go so far.

[lemonxjuice]

WTFFFF your fingers are like hummingbirds' wings

[Electric888]

Goosebumps on 3:17 by the way, it's amazing!

[Electric888]

3:17 till the end makes it a beautiful piece!

[Hwsung]

simply beautiful

[hammer29106]

amazing piece. 5/5

[pianohero62]

u have given me great inspiration thank you

[faras]

Is there any way to buy this sheet?

[Kisarez]

unfortunately, there is none. Kyle composed this himself and used no sheets

[rachm1124]

TTT.TTT

[cirillod]

Bravo. The arpeggio at the end is a litlle repetitive, but the tune is very nice!

[DJrunn3r]

Beautiful

[allformusic100]

3:17 to the end <3 oh my goodness! i thought it was the best ever before that, but no i was wrong! 3:17 is the best! <3

[MagicPete]

You are conveying your emotions perfectly in this piece. Outstanding piece and playing.

[residentevil25]

sugoii....

[supersailormoon2004]

I Love your stuff with all my heart. This was great, as usual. ^__^ Although great is an understatement.

[minigunman123]

ok, I just subscribed :O wow, you compete with zohar002 for amazing music....

[kvorbach]

that ending is crazy. good for you ha

[charencia]

amazing :)

[laurarox01]

one of the few original compositions i've heard on youtube and liked..it had character!

[NoZZram]

the right hand from 3:17 on sounds bit like the intro of dragonball z :D

[gamerwill94]

you gotta somehow make an mp3 version or somethin like that

you just have to for the sake of humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3blindmice95]

Amazing! Love it.... ;)

[rinkibandaholic]

0:48 feels like being a freshman

1:05 feels like becoming an upper classmen :D

[marty2310]

lovely and jolly! 5*

[saharing]

i like from 0:44 onward it really catchy and also the end

[eelaazhar]

I wish I have a friend like you :)

you are awesome. I like the way you play the piano. your dynamic, it's perfect. you're my favourite person.

[keetner]

You have very fast fingers lol.

Great piece though...it's catchy and nice.

Thanks for sharing.

[agcolonialman]

This reminds me of David Foster stuff =)

[CandyHiccups]

O my! My right hand started to get sore around 3:17 and in there just watching!!!

[Tukamuflais]

Amazing!! It's a beutiful song!!

[PatrickMcG01]

I'm definitely going to TRY to transcribe this for all of you!!!!! It'll take a while though....

[addycastro]

@patrick i would be forever gratefull lol!!

[thisdorkhere]

[claudesol]

[forever4luvf4]

[RyuzakiFan1]

I'm going to learn to play this so I can play it at my graduation. XD

[yomaster29]

you need to go on a show like Americas got talent and win! this is amazing!

[iMacxXuserXx485]

Yeah he should play for Barack Obama in the White house or something

[jenkins9876543]

why would you waste your amazing talent on something like that

[c2043588]

agreed

[Redrage44]

if u win, what do u recieve. A strangler´s contract?

[wolfteam000]

this is a beautiful piece, especially listening to it through earphones ahh, if you have the sheet, could I pls have it? =3

[FatGuyFun]

Its an original composition by him. im not sure if he releases sheets.

[Axelro40]

i would love to have the sheet music(sitting crying in the corner)

great job beautiful^.^

[LiveFromEarth]

You are so awesome. When I first heard the intro, I didn't really think I would like the piece. By the time it finished, I was near tears. I love all your pieces, keep them coming.

Oh, btw, WHOO RACHMANINOFF!

[Wittmannn]

Kyle, you still own.

The best OC I've seen. You're so fluent, there's no rush, and every note seems to hit its mark.

Shivers down my spine.

[LiiChinHo]

The sexiest C major composition I've ever heard.

[hAleHjUn]

*jaw drops and eyes widen*

...

[nswank75]

I could listen to you play forever! You are so inspirational...mmm..no that's not even the word for it!...You have that certain something that can actually transport you to another world...another time in your life ...you're amazing. Really. I look forward to listening to you...would love to be able to download you onto my iPod!

[indianagal1313]

Oh my goodness, listening to makes me know for certain that Kyle is going somwhere in life composing and playing the piano. Possibly the next John Williams?

[jeremyrom]

Omg your soo good at composing! My composition videos are kind of simple. You inspire me!

[florian2211S]

superbe chanson

[krycek1717]

In my piano for dummies book is this:

"countless piano pieces have been called too difficult to play, one of those is Rachmaninoff's piano concerto no.3....as the story goes (some other pianist dude) Helfgott practised this piece and became so consumed trying to master it that he had a complete nervous breakdown and his once extraordinary talent was irreperably damaged."

I don't want Kyle to end up like that.

[TrevorKingKwong]

RACHMANINOFF? i see all this classical sheet music yet not that many vids from classical composers :O. i really really love your anime and game stuff and your compositions. however, i want CHOPIN AND RACHMANINOFF :DDD

[yugureikigal]

wow! I could really feel the emotions of your composition. It just reminds me of a lot of memories. got some mixed feeling of happiness and sadness, sadness cause i miss those memories..happy cause i'm moving forward.. ^_^

Incredibly Awesome!!

[lovelikearose]

you are amazing.

[ko288]

Goood..

[opac16]

wow...^_^

[promicuousgirl]

you know it's people like this guy that puts other amateur as pianists like me to shame...

[Dizintograte]

YOU ROCK ALONG WITH RACHMANINOFF!

[stephkran05]

Please, marry me.

Sweet god.

[mailvidi]

Mind Blowing!!

[addycastro]

loll i'd love to live next door to a pianist like you haha! I'd just listen for ages =P

[theunsanereaper]

The best composition on Youtube, its really catchy and lovely =)

[tearsinraine]

really nice piece...I liked the theme and variation and great overall performance... well done!

[jeremyrom]

Good Job!

[BigLebanon12]

44-1:05 its so catchy!

[Aznhaun]

i think it perfectly describes the graduating feeling. i'm only graduating from 8th grade though x]

i'll come back and gush about this in high school then. lol that was amazing! nice =]

[rrborjaplus]

very nice excellent and well done. keep up the good work!

[ShadowsRage]

The speed your hands move sometimes is so unreal yet they create such beautiful melodies. :)

[1TwilightManiac]

this may sound weird but it kinda sounded cute.......like we should be happy to move on with our lives,meet new people, and make new memories :  )

[StandAlone3]

wow i'm graduating in 4 months (from 8th grade though) this song reminds me what it's like kinda, although it's sad, that you'll never see some people again, unless you keep in touch with them

[clevinz]

have to say.. what a beautiful piece. :)

i can hear your emotions.

[FRC27]

u say it's original!! and say it's based on graduation...ME LIKEY!!! ALOT!! i'll make sure i have this song wen I graduate =)

i luv the sound of the last 6 seconds.. and the WHOLE SONG of course!!!

[enokik]

[alinew01]

[jai94x3]

[JRafamaiden]

:| amazing, perfects for a Olympys sountrack

[johnnydeleoz]

i think i wanna go back to highschool for my graduation again.. and use this piece as the graduation song.. haha

[HostLlama]

This is certainly my favorite original you've written so far. :)

[lordzagato]

Brilliant!

[WorldofNene]

so u wrote this !? u amazing gifted person

[Phyrex999]

Wow, that that last minute had to hurt, lol. Great job.

[HostLlama]

That ending was FABULOUS

[sweetlittleangel29]

OMG this one is amazing.. XD

[Lollercopterz]

Your right hand 3:17 onwards is just mind-numbing D8

[Watemon]

3:17 has Chrono Trigger written ALL OVER IT.

[kylelandry]

Why is that? I don't know anything about Chrono Trigger, so too bad.

[Watemon]

lol, it's nothing big, just the glissandos in the right hand.

[johnsw1988]

I think it's just too good!! it's so awesome..

[Mondsilber]

It starts getting brilliant by 3:17

And I like the beginning. But some parts in between were... a little to much. I think that's your style. But it's a piece of you I like very much.

[HappyEarlyBirthday]

good memorizes indeed

[mynig99]

this is my favorite song of yours..luv begining and ending especially..u got sheets? PS I want to be as good as u one day...

[Cloytz]

Err... check @ 3:56 - from where there's a bas chord ? o_0 This one moment looks like fake. Weird thing, because synchro is good...

[kylelandry]

I'm not sure if you are trying to accuse me of anything, but come on man, read the description.

+Kyle

[tecknoviking444]

pure genius

[MormonOtaku]

i like your camera. this video looks more like i am looking through a window, rather than looking at a video.

[krycek1717]

I think this is the best one you've done. Not that everything else isn't out of this world, this one just has such a happy feeling. Supportin' you always XXXX

[VinceJapan]

Very nice !

I don`t usually post comments, but I felt I needed to encourage you :)

I am spreading links to your vids all arround. I hope more people can listen to your music.

[trewdab3]

lol, the beginning is so totally movie material.

[1Poetboy]

Im talking worldwide sales, fan autograph sessions. big movie picture appearances/performances, rave reviews- the whole works man!! i'll be your agent, u feel me? i got a whole lotta contacts, im gonna make you big man. real big.

*laughs at everything he just said*...

[rinkibandaholic]

[theVC26]

11k now ^^ hah hah

Yes.. this is one of the most amazing things i've heard him play.. which is kinda weird saying becaseu EVERY LAST THING HE'S PLAYED has been freaking amazing

[lauraminora]

omg wow.i looked to youtube for inspiration for my Alevel composition.i stubled upon this.its amazing. actually breath taking.

[philip6190]

that was awesome!!!

loved it :)

great job :D

[WhiteAngelArtemis]

T_T omg that brings bak memories for me too... if this was ever published it should officially be the graduation song for every year.

its so much better than the original XD

[LyraVienna]

Just incredible.

I really really really adore your composition - it's so loveable and intensive.

Hope to play the piano like you do some day. But that may take ages *lol*

respects from Germany,

lyra

[Txxytu]

you make my mouth drop with everything u post, amazing, i cant even describe, you blew me out of the water! wow.....that's all i can say

[MusicWillLastForever]

Sounds so happy and beautiful. :]

I would ask you to do Merry-Go-Round Of Life from the movie Howl's Moving Castle, but you don't take requests. :(

Who cares though, your music is always gonna turn out amazing no matter what. ;)

[Ericktrajano]

i graduated this year:D class of 08!!

[MarioGarcia163]

oh my god man

at 3:17.. sounded amazing

and ya right hand looked like it was gonna come off lol

damn you're good man

[kalsikum]

so nice!

but it sounded ABBA-ish

[TJhandford524]

ok kyle ive been practicing this song and i pretty much got it until i got to the ending. i got the bass chords but the higher part i couldn't quite get. i tried doing an arpeggio from G but that didnt sound right. can u help a nigro out?

[joris1992]

Just try to make those arpeggios with: G,D,C,G Up and down. It's not hard to do

[TJhandford524]

ok ur right but it seems like its too short. should i do this arpeggio for 2 octaves instead of one?

[joris1992]

Lol ofcourse. That's what kyle does.

It goes like this: From high G, go down and play D,C,G,D,C,G. Then go up again: and play C,D,G,C,D, and at last the high G again. Those are two octaves.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

[tak1ngbackamber]

This just made me smile, thanks.

[Erunno89]

OH MY!! Dude, I'm speechless right now. This piece is amazing! WOW what can I say (oh I guess I just said I was speechless).

Very very good work! Love it.

I just graduated this year (high school).

Do you have sheet music for this song?

Matt

[Daboyzz08]

Wow, original composition eh... you should get this published.

[Ansel989]

Man this is the Jam!!
