Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times Piano

[@kingofthesharks]

"I was in a slump because I couldn't compose anything, I was going to the hospital regularly for stomach ulcers while I worked, I had a hard-drive crash and lost nearly 40 in-progress tracks...great, I guess I'm only remembering the negative things! But when the entire staff gathered around to watch the ending, I wound up crying anyway (a lot of other staffers were just as deeply moved). I think all of us put a lot of our emotion into the game."-Yasunori Mitsuda, composer He dreamt up dis theme!

[@johnrosie9769]

kingofthesharks his quote is very spot on the care and emotional investment is wasted on anyone that has enjoyed chrono trigger a truly magical adventure grand and epic yet intimate

[@johnrosie9769]

I meant to say is not wasted

[@axnjack5]

I still remember beating CT one day when I came home from school. It was already getting dark and I hadn't turned my lights on yet. The fireworks, balloons, cloud, moon, friends were all so magical. I SO wanted to fly off into the world with the gang to explore their world. I felt like I had made close friends of the characters in the game... I sat in the dark, in silence at the ending screen wishing, if even with just a crumb of wishful thinking, that I could be transported into that world... Though I have grown up and moved on, a part of me still longs for it on occasion... So weird...

[@veloxaflit]

+Jackson Ho Wow. I felt the exact same! Maybe one day, far in the future, we could go into their amazing universe. Maybe. I hope. We all do

[@dorkandproudofit]

Hey, there's always self-insert fanfiction. Nerdy? Yes, but if you're having these kinds of fantasies you're already a nerd, no reason not to go all the way. Take pride in your geekdom and start writing that epic battle/humor/fantasy/kinky slash scene you've been fantasizing about! XD

[@LiikePipes]

No matter how you see it all journeys come to an end, but this journey isnt done yet... Lets hop onto the epoch and fly through space and time, lets make new memories. You with me?

[@ABCMeEFG]

@@LiikePipes Like Radical Dreams... To Far and Away Times...

[@williamgrace6983]

Amazing how a game made with such simple tools compared to todays arsenal of development software was able to invoke more emotion and create stronger memories for me than any game I've played from the ps3 era to present. I think the closer we get to reality in our games the less impact it has on us, for many reasons. If you don't believe what I'm saying, go read a book, then try to listen to its "audio book" counter-part. See which one seems more epic in the end. The more we have to fill in with our own imagination (visual details, voices, etc) the more impact it will have on us I think.

[@lorki3]

I wish 16-bit games would be made more often.

[@dukegui]

true story

[@williamgrace6983]

Engel II lots of 8 and 16-bit games are made nowadays, if you check out the indie scene, sadly though only 1 in a million are CT quality, and they are never RPGs. (cave story)

[@lorki3]

That's true. I should look into them. I'm very into Metroid, Castlevania and Zelda. But I've started adoring Fire Emblem as well.

[@sparkfx5874]

Every time I play for someone they are always amazed when I tell them what I'm playing is from a video game 15+ years ago. Most people don't know how good and musically relevant the scores for these games were. And there's just something about the music of Chrono Trigger, one of my all-time favorites, makes me feel all the feels.

[@seamustate]

Grateful for all your music from the last 15 years.

[@Adidaas]

"Nothing in the past or future will ever feel like today." What a quote.

[@RipTard]

Aw man, I totally got Chrono Trigger nostalgia. Thanks man!

[@BeCurieUs]

Heard endless versions of this song, and this one is excellent

[@JohnnyDarko01]

+Christopher Willis its that good of a song though. that all the versions are worth listening to. because the song is such a masterpiece it doesnt even matter.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

Such a grand and true homage to one of the best songs ever written.

[@Oafah]

You're not kidding. This nonsense perception that all the great music had already been written before we were born was disproven when this game was released.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

Oafah well I guess it depends on when you were born and what people mean by that. the music of the 60's-70's although before my time was pretty damn amazing, but they could also mean classical composed stuff like Mozart, which although I deeply respect, imo doesnt sound nearly as pleasing to the ears as tunes like this.

[@TobiGamingChannel]

Excellent

[@SMAAAASHTV]

Goosebumps everytime I hear this song.

[@Eclectic.Nostalgia]

1:11 goosebumps

[@ryukahr]

Two people got game over'd by Lavos Core and didn't get to hear this song.

[@jgwinnel]

9 now. ^_^

[@redlink.wasnotavailable]

I was just enjoying a song by Kyle Landry and I checked the comments to see you here... interesting

[@frajolagames3660]

I love u ryu❤

[@Daxdax006]

Ryu!!

[@ChibiQilin]

Holy crap... The Nostalgia... I played this game so many times as a kid, playing it over and over again and beating every ending, exploring everything there is... I wish you'd do a cover of Wind Scene, definitely my favourite song in the game.

[@willkwasney3344]

Awesome job! This is one of my all-time favorite tracks, and this might just be the best version I've seen on KZbin.

[@ramidp]

This song helps me to feel hope everytime I'm running out of it ..

[@ramidp]

Kyle you are the one .. I just don't get tired of your music ..

[@JasmineSharz]

Second night is a row that a new upload of one of my favorite songs, done KL Style, is just what I need to smile! Thank you Kyle, never stop playing!

[@giotureck7470]

Amazing version!

[@NostalgiaTunez]

This was incredible Kyle! Not only can you play it techniquely speaking flawlessly, but you really incorporate amazing phrasing and balancing of the left and right hands. I especially enjoyed hearing the melody line soar over as it should and I know that's no easy task, but you make it look so. Thank you for sharing your gift and hard work with us yet again my friend. - Connor

[@accountfor1reason]

This pieced stuck with me DECADES ago in 16-bit mode. I anticipate waking up still hearing it, just like I did then, but for longer for having it transformed in this way.

[@nathanbosley76]

one of my very favorite pieces from any game and you played that so amazing. Gave me chills. excellent.

[@4okm]

Wow. Yeah, I could really tell. I mean, I would like to think anyone who has an ear for music could feel the passion that you convey through your excellent control of both dynamics and rhythm. This was fantastic!

[@marcdefrutosmurgadella9131]

Wow hearing your version of this just filled me with with a sense of peace and wholesomeness. Thank you !

[@vincelampa4095]

I rarely thumbs up stuff on KZbin, but when I do, it's for amazing stuff such as this. Thanks, author.

[@axnjack5]

Man, you make me wanna cry. Keep up the good work. More chronological trigger songs would be appreciated.

[@TeaforBunny]

Absolutely beautiful. I just started replaying Chrono Trigger for the first time in about ten years. I wish you could do all the music from it!!

[@ealswytheangelicrealms]

Years ago I went to a piano recital where a young woman was playing music from the game. After the recital some gamers asked her what inspired her from the game. The big joke was it was apparent that the pianist had never even played the game because she knew nothing about it.

[@LrdLnitari]

I aspire to play like you do. You are an amazing musician. Keep it up. Do more video game music. The piano scores of games are always the best.

[@KillerOrca258]

Another brilliant video Kyle, Chrono Trigger isn't really my kind of game, but the music alone is enough to make me want to play it.

[@materia7]

This has been my favorite piece of video game music since I was in 4th grade and you, as always, rocked it. #I_sure_am_glad_there's_a_Kyle_Landry

[@EmiHnH]

Yeah!!!!

[@GeneralGengreet]

I was just thinking earlier today that it had been a long time since you'd done a Chrono Trigger song, and I log into KZbin this evening and find this. You read my mind, Kyle. I know this expression is overused, but holy crap.

[@foogevm1538]

Kyle, I just wanted to say that you're awesome!! You help me sleep at night with your beautiful piano pieces..

[@TylerOGuinn]

I'm really surprised and impressed. You keep cranking out videos, while it still takes me 3-4 weeks to learn a song. :P I'll get there some day.

[@climbhazzard126]

Such a wonderful tribute to a timeless game. Thanks Kyle!

[@OtherSteve]

This is so terrific. Thanks incredibly much for sharing and taking the time to produce this.

[@DyadintheForce]

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

[@GGG1113331]

Amazing. My breath....gone. Great cover!

[@amanounmei]

This is incredible. Had me in tears.

[@karlswedson8289]

This is great! I love CT and all songs, if you ever think of what you should do next, some kind of medly or complete soundtrack would be AMAZING!

[@TripleSixFiend]

I would love to see more Chrono Trigger videos. Thanks for the upload!

[@JustineDMusic]

YAAYYY!!!! The chrono trigger ost makes me soo happy :D :D Thanks a bunch for doing this! It would be cool if during this summer (or whenever really) you set aside a week just for chrono trigger and each day post a different song from it. :)

[@schrodingerscat3912]

i like seeing a lot of people from across the world celebrating this game and its music. when I was a kid, I felt like I was the only nerd in the world who even knew that this was a game and now that I'm an adult, I get to see so many people showing appreciation. Check out Ru's Piano Ru. Shes awesome too

[@rezalucien9325]

What a virtuoso! The melody is amazing, but your playing is just incredible! :D

[@sickley2]

Such an amazing interpretation! Excellent job Kyle :)

[@xXVanquishedSoULXx]

My new favorite theme for Chrono trigger! So dope man! Loved it.

[@LaSuperDiversion]

Just amazing! I'd like you to make an international tour, what about that? then, como to uruguay!, best wishes

[@makraiz]

I would also appreciate if you would do this, Kyle! BTW Excellent job on this song!

[@Neterim69]

Powerful stuff, that sound is the most emotional in the game, to me. Good work :D

[@chrocin]

Hey kyle I think you should cover "Kids Run Through the Street Corner" by Nobuo Uematsu! I mean since you haven't done Final Fantasy in awhile. And I think the beginning will end up building/deciding your improvisation throughout this piece. It really is a beautiful and amazing piece. I can't stress enough how much emotion is brought out through its fluidity.

[@Pathos312]

Damn, this was beyond good. Perfectly played. Thanks for sharing.

[@Impossible3144]

I love this song, and your performance is one of the most beautiful I've heard. Though I would have loved to hear it with the part that you skipped at 1:12, there's another chunk of the song there.

[@guambladesmith4632]

Great piece, thanks for sharing.

[@HallowedIntent]

What's the quote in the beginning from? Btw, AMAZING rendition. Gave me goose bumps, brought a smile to my face, and a tear to my eye.

[@waxmax2191]

Damn, this is my first rpg and listening make me nostalgic.Thanks for sharing your music you're a great inspiration and you're one of the reason I still playing piano :)

[@dellor]

so good :>

[@rayquazax3]

This is perfect, best arrangement on KZbin!

[@pouicx34]

Splendide :) Émouvant, Touchant ! Tu es resplendissant :) Une odyssée à travers les âges !

[@astralvisionify]

LOVE THIS. Have you ever considered of doing Corridors of Time? I bet you would make it beautiful.

[@kelsomollete]

Wow!!! Thank you for making my wishes come true!!!... =3 ... I've asked twice to do a medley of Chrono Trigger... It's my favorite game of all times

[@g4md0r32]

Thanks for making such great music. It really make my hair stand. Really great soundtrack as well.

[@timrhicks1234]

BEAUTIFUL!!! WELL DONE!

[@Axartsme]

Wow, this sounds beautiful

[@kevincassidy2632]

This takes me back to when I was 9. ;-; The feels….

[@drnchva]

I would love it if you did a track from Brave Fencer Musashi! Underrated game with great music. Not enough covers out there!

[@Pokemania00]

Kyle! Do you ever amaze yourself? Like do you watch some of your older videos and think like "It's actually me that's playing!?" or "Did I do this?" Anyways, you surely amaze me, and probably most others!

[@Xalloran]

I've wanted to hear this song in piano rendition for so many years ;_; Thanks, Kyle.

[@xplodax]

Kyle, I strongly suggest you to check out the soundtrack for a PS1 JRPG called Grandia. 'The Edge of the World' is phenomenal!

[@veganpianist22]

So beautiful!

[@weIene]

Beautiful!

[@36chocolas]

@kylelandry can you please do John Rzeznik's (from the goo goo dolls) 'I'm still here' from treasure planet? It's my favorite song and no other pianist on KZbin is able to reflect the emotion behind it but all of your songs are so well done I think you may be up to the challenge!

[@dmcvergil7425]

Subbed just because of this masterpiece ^_^ chrono trigger is my all time favourite game

[@kuzzie3]

I've secretly been hoping you'd do a CT piece for ages now, so I all but cried when I saw this T_T haha. Those sheets are so close (to the camera) I can almost smell them lol How bad(/good) is your sight anyway? Do you really *need* glasses?

[@ilAffinityli]

chrono cross and chrono trigger songs= instant eargasm :DDD

[@saiyanwei]

omg so beautiful! well done

[@AlainChomik]

Excellent like always ! Alain

[@pablobski]

beautiful song

[@lucindaman1631]

That's beautiful Kyle, thank you. I can't find the sheets on your site, would love to play this. Love Chrono series, please make more if you have time. Maybe Schala's theme integrated with Chrono Cross's, "Distant Promise," (my fav's). I second the others as well, with Corridors of Time. Last request, DJ Okawari's "Luv Letter,"...beautiful piece, but I'm sure you could make it so much better~ ;)

[@nezkeys79]

im running out of words to describe your videos kyle lol. how many times can i say it without sounding like a broken record. you are a piano god...there thats something i havent said yet lol

[@lightningPeace]

This is amazing!

[@xplodax]

Kyle!! I loved one of your videos, but sadly I couldn't find it again. Thinking you might have removed it, I once asked you if you deleted one of your videos. I don't know if you remember but you replied in a confused way. Well, you were right, you hadn't deleted it at all; it is this video!

[@rtc7788]

wouldn't this be an amazing wedding song?

[@sonofabicho]

rtc7788 would be

[@jego207]

nice trivia. thanks for sharing.

[@SDREHXC]

Menthols thanks for sharing that. I had no idea. You can hear it in the song for sure.

[@KaraComparetto]

I'm playing this in someone's wedding tomorrow! Such a heart melting theme....

[@Radien]

It was played for my wedding. Unforgettably magical.

[@LordRump]

Hey, I would love to hear your rendition of Chopins Polonaise. Just a suggestion.

[@savio_]

Amazing song!

[@Shindragan]

Amazing, Great job!

[@jongrain6604]

Awesome, man!

[@Oturan219]

Chrono trigger? Instant favorite!

[@raze1511]

I had goosebumps..!

[@SrPrOn]

I´d like to play this arragement, I checked your webpage but I couldn´t find this piano sheet, would you share the sheets?

[@mikethered123]

Same here; looks like this is never going to get shared. I've asked his Discord and him personally in Twitch and I just can't get him to acknowledge me. I guess he doesn't need the money lol.

[@PhantomX141291]

wonderful...

[@SergioAriasFoto]

Hello Hyle, this song sounds great! I'm looking for a new digital piano and I've seen that you have different pianos. Can you tell me which one is this? the sound is edited or is like this from the piano? Thank you very much.

[@7Merton7]

I would love it if you did a complete Chrono Trigger soundtrack.

[@hassanahad4763]

awesome!! kyle please do corridors of time

[@bleachbeech1]

You should totally play gate of steiner from steins;gate. I bet you'd make it sounds more beautiful than it already does.

[@TheBobDoleExperience]

This brings back good memories from my childhood, now I feel like such an old fart. Well played my man, I love watching your videos.

[@NerfKane]

It would be fantastic if you could do your interpretation of Christophe Beck's "Paperman" :)

[@all.the.same.iProductions]

Deserves a replay!

[@ashlon1]

Awesome

[@anthonyadams7933]

one word, EPIC!

[@GaramMenthol]

Exactly how I wanted it to be. Absolutely perfect.
