This piece sounds like you’re scared and confused if what you’re feeling is love, but at the same time genuinely hopeful and curious of it.

[@Matsuiio]

This sounds like if Chopin's Most Famous Nocturne and Liszt's Bittersweet Liebestraum had a child. Echoes it's parents but has it's own identity.

[@natalieholt2598]

what is Chopin's Most Famous Nocturne?

[@jac1382]

​@@natalieholt2598 that would be Nocturne in E Flat Major, Op. 9 No. 2.

[@natalieholt2598]

ohh I thought it would be nocturne in c-sharp minor@@jac1382

[@troll707]

Just sounds like a Chopin nocturne. Idk about particularly op 9 no 2

[@Cozy-Cooking]

[@pugsnhogz]

I watched this news segment years ago where they asked a bunch of elementary schoolers what love is. one of them said, "when you love someone you know your name is safe in their mouth." that's still one of the best descriptions i've ever heard

[@xip125]

:(

[@erickykyk]

i think that's so true. lately i've heard so much gossip among my friends and it's just like, man cmon. i thought we were all cool bru. we're all young and dumb and yeah it won't matter in a month, a year, a lifetime or two but... in the end i'm happy to say that i can truly love. that i won't absolve into that deceptive betrayal with your tongue. i will protect my friends with my mouth not destroy them

[@somerne_xvii]

I saw this paper written by a six year old titled “What is Love?” and it said: “Love is when you’re missing some of your teeth, but you’re not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though some of you is missing.” Just thought I’d share :)

[@ArnoldAcedera-bd1wj]

I thought there were only ever two kinds of love; the one you'd kill for, and the one you'd die for. But, my only ever... yours is the one I would live for.

[@Laripeyxe]

It's as if you play the notes with your heart. I can feel you transmitting all the feelings to us, like the most sincere gift, just like poetry

This particular piece has a heavy inspiration, I guess people can tell when I'm going through something :0

[@Laripeyxe]

@@Matsuiio YOU ARE NOT NORMAL URGGGG please continue. All of this is incredible... I hope you are well :) remember that all phases are fleeting and even if your true intentions are not to really help others, it is clear how much you save other hurting hearts through the notes of your feelings. Please continue, I believe in your potential

[@insomnia-o.0]

This started so confusing/dramatic or mysterious/melancholic, then suddenly just turned into a full punch of memories from a past love Just like a kid trying to reach his family after getting lost Like two birds that will never see each other again Like dancing a waltz with her... Thank you.

[@leol1nk529]

this comment isnt very long but very complex

[@JohnDoe-123]

the staggered left hand kinda makes me wait for the chord playing after the first note...reminds me of an excited heartbeat

[@Ri5olu]

I gotta admit it, im in love with the works of matsuii.

[@cristalmyth09]

I'd describe this as childish love. It dances around the idea shyly. The discovery of a new emotion. The contrast from the right hand and left hand's deepness is childlike, unsure , floating butterflies, and just a sweet feeling of tension. Then when the climax of this little piece finally arrives, its like the realization that life is so much more colorful. However, the ending almost feels like you're saying goodbye. Kind of like a crush you had on a classmate but could never bring it up at risk of what you have. The feeling is almost fading but it is not a cry out or tantrum like chopin's ballad. It is difficult to put into words, its on the tip of the tongue, funny thats the whole story. Childish love on the tip of a tongue and forced to work through your feelings

[@oravarotter7592]

Recently I got my first ever crush since elementary school (I'm in college now, a lot of shit happened in between that ended up making it hard to feel those kind of emotions) and whenever I stare at this person my heart beats faster and sometimes I feel light headed and nauseous. I was really excited at first but now kind of just want it to go away. Honestly, it's a terrible experience but just being near them makes me happier than usual. This song feels a lot like the way I feel, it's very beautiful. Thanks for another great piece! :)

[@Matsuiio]

so relatable... This form of love is so overrated, but somehow it is inevitable (or at least for me). I hope this is the last album with this theme lol

[@jiyihn]

crying still ever since “her”

[@Laripeyxe]

you understand me 🥺

[@iLikeDEERz]

Beautiful

[@cheliq9]

It feels like all of the emotions that you go through in a relationship, from the start to the end

[@ForrestAttackHelicopter]

I absolutely love this, because it's melodies are like a softer effect of Chopin's ballades, while also being reminiscent of staggered 3rds and 4ths like Clair de Lune. Gives me chills, luv it :heart:

[@Xalnri_Edmond]

the sheer contrast whenever you swap major to minor is so flippin astounding! seeing pieces such as this that just hold so much emotion behind them is an amazement, and you literally encapsulated the very thing that I want to achieve with music I want to write! points for amazing inspiration Matsuii!

[@Matsuiio]

It is incredibly difficult to write music that moves people, im glad to know that i achieved it here :)

[@shimuelo1269]

this was incredible. i appreciate how honest it was. no embellishment for the sake of prettiness. every note just living in the place it’s meant to be, each emotion carefully articulated genuinely. i actually teared up listening. thank you for this. ❤

dude when i hear this, i automatically hear those nostalgic sounds of children playing on the playground (like in the trailerparkboys intro theme for example)

[@jakubwincenciak]

You are the exact composer I aspire to be. Emotional. Creative and always with a sense of rigid continuity that i dont want to finish It's hard to express but I know that in the future the world will look back upon Matsui as it has Chopin.

[@redstoneninjapro3427]

3:40 I love when people take the sustain off for just one chord like he has done here. It makes the chord so powerful

[@SinglePringleDestiny]

Oh man…I happened to stumble upon this piece just now, as I’ve been dealing recently with this guy from my class who I’ve unintentionally developed a crush on…I’m so hurt and scared because I’m falling for him hard and I’m afraid I’ll be rejected if he finds out, I swore to never crush/fall in love again after years of pain and heartbreak, but it seems my heart still yearns for affection after everything it’s been through…echoing some other comments on here, when I’m near him, he makes me so happy and I feel natural around him, he makes me feel like I belong somewhere and to someone and we both love music hahaha!! He’s so charming and cool and overall, downright perfect and I’m still such a mess physically and mentally, with way too many flaws to count, but I can’t help but think of him and want him even if it’s next to impossible for us to be a thing…but gosh am I ever happy and grateful that he’s in my life RN. This piece perfectly encapsulates what I’ve been feeling, and such beautiful chords and motions you used!! Absolutely beautiful piece, I’ll have to listen to this better ASAP! Thank you for sharing this, so happy this appeared on my feed :))

[@bdpq530]

Just from this comment, I can tell you’re awesome. I won’t say good luck because I don’t know whether to cheer you on or not, but I know I’ll remember this comment when I’m feeling anxious about moving forward. Knowing that there’s someone out there worried about the same thing as me makes me feel less lonely, so thank you for sharing. I hope you two can come to an understanding!

[@alexanderzimnikov4731]

I thought it was another cover of the song at first. But then I realized that this is a unique composition, which tells us about the tenderness of the feelings of first love and the fear of whether I will be loved in return. Big thanks and love to the author!!! ❤❤❤

Love ? If we were a chef it would be the mixture of fresh fruits that no one would have tried, because love is more than a feeling, an emotion, a sensation that makes you travel from reality and blinds you. but love, hell, love is complex but it doesn't mean it's not for anyone.

I have been a self taught pianist for the majority of my life, having a wide variety of classical pieces, both old and modern classical, composers such as Yiruma and Ludiovici Einaudi, nothing I have listened to by them has conveyed as much emotion and pure mastery as this piece has. Absolutely stunning, perfect wouldnt change a thing. The chords, the chord prorgession, the progression of melody, everything. Thank you for releasing this beauty, truely, thank you.

I love this guy, he’s not my first crush but I’ve liked him for a year or two now and I’ve only recently admitted to myself and my best friend that I love him. Finding out he liked someone else crushed me and I cried so much but he doesn’t anymore and it just physically hurts not being able to tell him. I really want to and I just feel so safe with him. I feel like I can tell him anything and I want to tell him everything. It really hurts my heart that he doesn’t know but I’m not going to explain everything but I have some hope for some reasons.

He ignores my messages and sometimes responds every 3 or 4 days.
