guzelmis lan

[Psychobabas]

Good hunting Stalker...

[GothRockChic]

I think that song captures the idea of Chernobyl perfectly.

[FigmentsFan]

I might actually compose either a woodwind quintet piece or a clarinet choir piece around this line. Thanks for the idea. If you think this is a good idea, please contact me back and I will give you due credit in program notes.

[GmodRandomCollection]

@FigmentsFan I think that is, such a good idea. That is such a good idea man, you should have some people singing in the background maybe like. You be playing in the Woodwind Quintet and some other people chorally singing in the background.

Shit this is my 5th comment on this video.I get goose pimples every time. SHIT!

[fdnfdjnedb]

may the poor souls who lost their lives because of that horrible accident rest in peace

greetings from germany

[blissyMcc]

Pripyat will live on forever in my heart!!

[garthrallysport]

Powerful song to describe that tragic event. And with the out of tune piano it just sets it off.

[harryfaber]

This is thought provoking. As the badge used to say on the back of all the VW camper vans: Nuclear werke? Nein Danke!

[cyrodragon99997]

a few of the keys dont work :(

doesent sound as good :(

[Gencturk92]

imagine someone playing the jaws music on the piano

[betatalk357]

Just think... that piano hasn't had anybody to play a beautiful tune on it in over 20 years... all because a sad song like Chernobyl had to happen.

[MurciellagoSV]

AMAZING!

[xXZeZXx]

who the hell can dislike this?

It's a wonderful song that describes the suffer of the pripyat's people.

"Ciao" from Italy ;)

[sonicgamesost]

untuned pianos sound cool ^^

[97godfather]

please the link again, cannot read it^^

[97godfather]

and greetings from germany ;)

[Znoxyboy]

for some reason this reminds me of nazi zombies

[rotjesenmatjes]

This is so damn scary on this piano..

[DJVinylPretty]

Is the piano radioactive?

[goldbullet50]

@DJVinylPretty Of course

[DJVinylPretty]

@goldbullet50 Ok thanks

[joostjb]

pripyat is 3000 meters from the chernobyl power plant, if u know chernobyl, u know pripyat, if u know pripyat u know chernobyl ;)

[EXO903]

this made me sad:((

[ilosoxx]

This give me a weird feeling.. lately i feel so atractive to chernobyle/pripyat.. i cant stop waiting

[MaybexIllxLikexYou]

@ilosoxx me too, i feel like it's aking me to go there..

[MaybexIllxLikexYou]

I like this broken version, I think it gives more Chernobyl/Pripyat feeling. At least to me. Could you make longer version? :DD

[Xattack9001]

This is so fucking eerie..ME RIKEY.

[MrTroll199]

Creepy

[goldbullet50]

I hope that chernobyl and pripyat will remain (almost) abandoned, I just can't imagine hundreds of tourist walking there and taking pictures. It should be that guarded that only few people can go visit there. Anyone agree?

[whitebear2003]

How this melody is called?

[AdmiralBiach]

In soviet russia Piano Play you!

[AdmiralBiach]

Got its faithless charm. No hope left for it. So... beatiful.

[YaMaHaAeRoXtUnEr96]

I like this sound....

[Owlch]

I'm wondering, I really don't know that much about radiation but I know Chernobyl was bad off so why would you play that piano if it was potently dangerous? lol obviously I don't know too much about radiation and such! Sick tune btw, I got it stuck in my head!

[Gencturk92]

if it was me, i play the jaws music

[n00bAnkka234]

@Owlch I think they checked the room with geiger counter first. And I think playing a piano (even in the Pripyat) won´t kill you.

[OilyTower]

You gotta admitt that old outa tune piano has it's own charm :D

Like as if it's an relic from the past or something, get alot of respect from that as well

[HockeyGamer94]

lol i thnked it was Yuri from C&C Red Alert 2 ;D

[mikixP]

WE AR GON TO FIND U! muahahahaha!! 

[Hipsterdom]

That is almost an eerie sound...

[miragef19]

this tune is jammed in my head

[rn437]

When I hear this song I really feal how the people in Pripyat felt when it happened. How the panic and so on... Shit, i cant sleep well tonight...

[Ihateirans]

Oh listen. A radioactive tune. Sounds like a glowing tribute to Chernobyl.

[Superchickenman159]

you should of played tetris instead... i mean they are in russia right

[TJFFx]

@Superchickenman159 Ukraine, but... close enougth

[awesomly47]

the broken piano sounds great for that tune. Haunting.

[pound4pound4]

I bet Yuri plays it for all the tourists so no the piano is played quite regularly

[215alessio]

it "radiates" the music into the room :)

[skhackersk]

why did u go over there man ...

[Thementals9595]

im never gonna get this out of my head

[gamecritic7]

This song would fit an untuned piano.... They go well together.

[WereRabbbit]

Makes me wonder what happened to the people who lived in that apartment.

[miragef19]

that piano sounds good with that song 

[LittleBigVathole]

do u guys think that place is huanted? i do

[WereRabbbit]

@LittleBigVathole I don't believe in ghosts but I'm sure it would be creepy as all hell.

[callofdutyrocks1996]

this song makes me cry and sometimes scares the shit out of me

[insertbadname]

badly out of tune :)

[WereRabbbit]

@insertbadname Well no shit it probably hasn't been played for 20 years. xD

[tulaans]

It Makes Me Want To Cry :(

[melandor0]

Is it done, Yuri?

[devondobby677890]

isnt very dangerous to play apiano with radio active ohm by way did you got infected by radio active.

[gobbitop554]

It's beautiful. Haunting, yet somewhat beautiful. To the citizens of Chernobyl who died, may your souls find peace.

[ar2enikk]

after 20 years is stil working

[michael18152]

now, i know , how a piano sounds, that wasn't tuned for 22 years.

but, i thought it would sound worser.

I'm amazed

[MyXboxFreak]

i am going their to look for zombies and other messed up animals

[Mattikusrules]

@MyXboxFreak watch out for the bloodsuckers

[rebel9568]

have ther ever been people try to scavenge (take stuff thts still their) from the homes tht are abandon

[lilpep116]

@rebel9568 The russian government would check you on the way out to ensure nothing major is taken out of there. After all, everything in there carries radiation still to this day and taking stuff out would only mean spreading the radiation.

[kurisux]

@rebel9568 Story has it that in the early 90's, quite a few old TV sets were showing up in pawn shops in Kiev that were... more than a little radioactive.

So, to answer, yes. The city was actually in AMAZINg condition untill about the mid 90's, then the looting and such became rather commonplace, and things just started to deteriorate.

There are pictures from I think 1996 that show the swimming pool in amazing condition, like it was new, compared to a few years later, after people broke in...

[SoadaroW]

i saw the music is the chernobyl theme but he's playing at pripyat lol

[CarlMontgomery]

@SoadaroW Good point. I origianlly put Chernobyl since a lot of people wouldnt know where pripyat is. Have modified the title to make it more acurate.

[97godfather]

awesome video :)

Where did you get the notes? google will not find them

[SoadaroW]

@97godfather Thanks,i learn it with this guy /watch?v=VGg1veyWSds cause i asked him for make that tutorial ;) and he make the sheet

[Nanowise]

I think the song is called: "Pripyat Remembrance" written by Yuri Tatarchuck, but created by Jesse Sheldon and Nate Dawes.

[CarlMontgomery]

@Nanowise

Jessie and Nate wrote "Pripyat Remembrance" based on this video. They couldnt identify it either but did a damn good job of performing it.

All i know is it's an old Ukrainian Folk luluby. Probably sounds completly differnt to the origianl lulaby since it's being played on a broken piano that hasnt been tuned for over 20 years.

[kalinga01]

@CarlMontgomery i personally think it sounds good. the untuned piano seems to add to the solemness of what happened at this city. it sounds good in a creepy kind of way, you know?

[governmentproj13]

Wow, that is perfect.

[GrkNoob]

FOR ALL U FUCKTARD OUT THERE THIS ISNT RHE ENEMEY AT THE GATES THEME. the start just sounds similar

[shoegazer69]

@GrkNoob very eloquently spoken

[smokslyboltx]

@GrkNoob heh no lifer

[Pkftmfw]

Will they really die of cancer im sure they weren't there that long and it's 20 years later...

[atv182]

everything sounds better on a piano thats been abandoned in an irradiated city for almost 30 years

[pierrelebatteur]

cool effect of detuning notes

[OnlyOneGamer]

This song is so cold and sad ;(

[wowsux97]

this has shouldve been in the game stalker shadow of chernobyl in some dramatic part where the marked one walks through some place that gives him some kind of memories.

[007CoDMaster]

who thinks this sounds like requim for a dream

[zakor33]

@007CoDMaster more like a lucid waking moment between a dream and a nightmare that of which we call being awake.

[falloist]

they say that thieves stole from those abandoned apartments things and sold them so it wouldn't be that creepy if the piano was flipped

[falloist]

this man will die after 10 years

too bad

[flux0deamon]

@falloist

Bullshit!

[falloist]

@flux0deamon to your face

[hydrox554]

@falloist why u think he gnna die after 10 yrs?:p

[falloist]

@hydrox554 because of the effects of radiation he will have cancer

[hydrox554]

@falloist and why do you think they give trips to chernobyl? to give all these peeps cancer? right, depends on how long yuri was there if ge gets cancer

[falloist]

@hydrox554 your are an idiot go study radiobiology and after that i wish you have a better comeback,this man may not die by cancer but for sure he sacrificed some time from his life

[USMAI]

Chernobyl is actually a small town waaaay south of CNPP, somewhere near kopachi village

[pattycakes045]

classsic russian tune

[nokomarie1963]

Hey, either you are very skilled or that piano has a soul.

[eflkmlfk]

hej very nice man:)

[Ihateirans]

I doubt that's Yuri Rozum playing the piano.

[falloist]

who is yuri rozum?

[flux0deamon]

@falloist

Famous russian pianist

[loopyloobender]

@Ihateirans no it Yuri Tatarchuk , he is working in Chornobyl Inter Inform

[ShootForFun824]

the piano doesnt sound that out of tune. i mean seriously, 25 years of standing there collecting dust and radiation, it still works decent.

[nocs111]

@ShootForFun824

because it's a soviet piano.

[zakor33]

@ShootForFun824 well after 25 years the strings would have stressed a little, but i like the seemingly out of tune and Sharp sound, its a chilling reminder of what happened, and what may happen in japan with their reactor.

[iiRoNiiCPB]

Imagine walking through the abandoned apartments there and hearing that over and over again :S

[Lauderish]

Creepy.

[dukeboy3]

@iiRoNiiCPB CREEPY!

[NESHero]

@iiRoNiiCPB imagine walking through the city alone....and then you heard it play from the building. or...better yet, imagine you're exploring the building alone..and then you started to hear it.

[coolcatevan9]

it would be cool to play this on a tower every 1 hour!

[reddeagle104]

song name???

[zappierdesert123]

@reddeagle104 are you kidding?

[reddeagle104]

@zappierdesert123 its called pripyat rememberence right?

[DjScudMissile]

@reddeagle104 No read the description, but it doesn't state what the name is. This video spawned all the other versions, not the other way around.

[Asteroth43]

блин, это просто ахуенно)

This is f*cking awesome)

[radnitzku]

The plutonium oxyde dust is released from the cords and settles in the lungs of the player and the filmer.

[DjScudMissile]

@radnitzku You don't know what are you talking about!

[radnitzku]

I hope you do, kid!

[DjScudMissile]

@radnitzku The reason of my comment was inconsistency in the materials. In one of the them, it was said that radioactive material used in the reactor was enriched uranium.

[pioneerz450]

@radnitzku plutonium oxide?!

try it moore like cesium,135,137,and 138

iodine 133

thet is why you take iodine pills wheing en you know youre being irradiated

[radnitzku]

When I see the nucleus number, I understand: you are unaware of Physics.

Ciao

[manolwar]

Song...?

[rosko94]

sounds upsettting :(

i feel soo sorry for the poor people who lived in chernobyl :'(

[kaloianpavlov]

@rosko94 dud nobody lived in chernobyl :D:D they lived i pripyat ;d

[reddeagle104]

@kaloianpavlov haha ya i hate when people think chernobyl was the town :P

[PyreaI]

@reddeagle104 Chernobyl is that small town some kilometers south-east of the reactor and it's cooling pond. It used to have about 14 000 inhabitants. The reactor got it's name after that town. Pripyat is the town north of the reactor and it's much closer to it but it was established for the workers of the reactor and had more inhabitants. Just some facts ;)

[keinegravitation]

Best version of the song.

[LyricalSh0t]

seems like the piano also has an accent.

[tcbkp77]

if i was walking through one of those apartments and heard that id probably shit my pants!

[odkingmat]

@tcbkp77 I wouldn't even try to enter that apartment. =P

[candidoj]

it is dangerous to your fingers...

[AlexxAXe]

Why?

[candidoj]

because the piano is radioactive and may be dangerous to touch his keys...

beautiful song

hug

[AlexxAXe]

There is no reason to think that the piano is too radioactive. There are only radioactive soil and sometimes dust in the Pripyat. In any case, this radiation is weak, and it can hurt people only if it gets inside body with food or water.

[candidoj]

sorry, ok, i was only joking...

it was you on piano ?

hug

[AlexxAXe]

No, that is not me. :)

I just talking about the current situation with radiation in the Chernobyl zone. It's impossible to live there, but now possible to make a tourist trip there. I plan to go there next year.

[mikeyanagita]

lol. That piano needs all kind of work.

[BF2User5]

when u watch it in the dark it makes u want to pee ur pants

[aricolcos]

RIP Chernobyl

[000RUDE000]

its a pleasent tune

[86cookiemonster]

wouldn't it be weird to be gaurd there, and over the ghostly remains of the abandoned city, the moarnfull sounds of an abandoned piano rises up, offering tribute to those lost.

[spencersamuels]

i agree. its so chilling just listening to this and thinking of where he is playing

[inufandom]

good god, that would be creepy

[MCA3M0C]

oooh, very very well said my firend

[metallica1490]

that is the saddest city (pripyat

[Bombizzen]

Description=No it's not the Theme from Enemy at the gates.

It's an old Ukrainian Folk Lullaby. Check this comment from Yuri himself.

[knowbuddynose]

It would be creepier if he went there and someone had tuned the piano...

[R33skylineR33]

yeah " someone "

[Badlawful]

Haunting.

[WiredrawnMurder45]

yes the song is definatly Enemy at the Gates.

[doomrules]

sad pripyat is

[doomrules]

i am going to play that piano when i go tommoro

[TOAORachael]

is it safe to visit pripyat?

[ARPRandomnes]

it should be. You have to be there for many years to start seeing some mild effects. A little radiation never hurt nobody. It had some sort of fast decaying material that decayed almost fully since people started visited there.

[ShootForFun824]

yes if you stay there for max 1/2 a day literally (12 hours)

[doomrules]

enemy at the gates actually not it is Kije's march for real

[TheHenryMccarty]

тільки cool  чоловік але страшно xDD hehe

[brom001]

so this is the government employee, named yuri :) I've met him, he has a jeep (defender 110), right?

[RadioOperator01]

Why are you playing a piano at a ghost town....that's just creepy.And spookie.

[plasticnapoleon22]

so eerie, and kindof beautiful,

a piano that hasent been used in 20 years or more, played once more here, and perhaps for the last time.

[karlz3r]

The guide probably plays with it every time he's guiding a new tourist.
