Hi!
From time to time I like revisit old covers, and I've been wanting to redo this one for awhile c: Lugia's Song was one of my first piano arrangements I ever made, I first played it alone and some years later together with the great musician @8BitBrigadier ❤ I asked him if he wanted to replay this one with me and fortunately he said yes! I'm so glad he accepted, I LOVE what he does with his flute, if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Make sure you check his channel, he's super talented! (mixing and video editing was made by him too!):
/ 8bitbrigadier
I made a new arrangemente for the song, now:
- It's a real flute-piano duet, the flute part has more presence and became the protagonist of the cover as it should be c:
- It's a bit longer and more loyal to the original song.
- I mantained the arpeggios in the middle of the song from the old arrangement (they're structurally simple but people seemed to like them!) The rest of the cover is quite changed~
I remember watching this movie and falling in love with this theme. I would say the word to describe it is "magical", there's something ethereal about it that makes me shiver~ I hope you are able to feel that magic too, music can be a mysterious thing! Honestly I used to force myself to upload harder-to-play pieces just to impress and satisfy the audience (hard stuff can be very impressive!), but nowadays I'm just trying to offer performances that can move you, regardless of how hard to play they are, and I like that ♪

Not me being 33 yrs old and this song still making me cry.

[@TheUltimateRare]

you are older than me but i'm 33 now when i see your comment XD funny how time works.

[@ciellepi]

Same here bud. I was born in 1990. Same here.

[@Chris-gx2xq]

Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice, or Lightning lest these three titans wreck destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the water's great guirdian shall arise to quell the fightning alone its song will fail. Thuss the earth shall turn to ash. O, chosen one, into thine hands bring together all three. Their treasures combined tame the beast of the sea.

[@MoisesNieto]

So epic ;_;

[@nicholassultana6047]

Nice description, like for sure

[@DCD4Ever]

Am I the only one that found it hilarious that they made it literally "turn to ash" (as in Ash Ketchum)?! 😂👆

[@Rin-em6xv]

Soo awesome I love this quote

[@Andrew-ml1xr]

That's deep.

[@ErikCPianoman]

What a blast from the past. The tone on that flute is incredible. Great job guys.

[@reddawn87]

Do you mean an.. Aeroblast from the past?? Haha..

[@ErikCPianoman]

reddawn87 Well that was 'onix'pected.

[@dracon2]

That was a bit Farfetch'd

[@XIxR3DEEM3RxIX]

Indeed! Sounded like the original!

[@ZeldaFan940]

Its like Solitude In E minor So peaceful! Falls Asleep Like Patrick XD

[@JadeAnnabelArt]

This song has been stuck in my head for literal _years._

[@MoisesNieto]

Same tbh, I'll never forget it haha

[@BergsonHipHop]

Yea man ...

[@4SakenCherryYT]

When did this pokemon song come out again.

[@Archersknight]

ForsakenNightFury 2005 early 2000

[@4SakenCherryYT]

@@Archersknight oh that's obvious now I am stupid

[@beardlessdragon]

If I ever need to remember why Lugia is my favorite Pokemon, I listen to this masterpiece

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! 💜 This is definitely my favourite Pokémon movie, it made me love Lugia too hehe

[@Digory95]

Same too

[@draconidzinnia]

@@MoisesNieto Same. I saw this movie once and it solidified my love for Lugia (besides SoulSilver). This is so beautiful!

[@tigerspruce8580]

Lugia is the best legend with the best song.

[@ssoltau9318]

Agreed. Lugia might not be the strongest legendary compared to later legendary pokemon like Palkia or Dialga, but he's still my number 1 favorite pokemon, legendary or otherwise. Not sure if you're playing pokemon go as well, but I got 2 Lugia at the moment and they are awesome.

[@rodolphetuveri8923]

Maybe darkrai too with Oracion ;)

[@j-pastel-yellow]

This legitimately brought me to tears. Pokemon 2000 was one of my favorite movies growing up, and this song has so many memories attached to it. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much Orpheo!! Glad you've enjoyed it, I loved this movie too, and this song is awesome!

[@guardian6788]

It's the same with me

[@pinkhavoc0299]

I remember watching this movie in theaters & hearing this song. Thanks for bringing me back in time & remembering my childhood 🥲 This is beautiful

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks!! It's such a lovely piece, I've loved it since the first time I watch the movie too!

[@frostasaurus2190]

This is the most peaceful thing I've ever heard in my life

[@MoisesNieto]

Omg xD Thank you!

[@manoelluisnetosilva5987]

Only this song could calm down the Lugia

[@anazshk010]

Sometimes it's peaceful sometimes its sad... But it's amazing all the time

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks Anas!!

[@Anas-rx1he]

What’s cool is that this video from 6 years ago still gets revisited till this day. Hope it lets you know how deeply we love this, thank you for putting it together

[@MoisesNieto]

Aww thank you for coming back to this, really appreciate it!! Merry Christmas!!

[@alexisvega9450]

Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the water's great guardian will arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, and thus the Earth shall turn to Ash. O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three. Their treasures combined tame the beast of the sea. From the trio of islands ancient spheres shall you take. For between life and death all the difference you'll make. Climb to the island to right what is wrong. And the world will be healed by the guardian's song.

[@Cibeles1995]

Could you please stop spamming this for easy likes in every single video? You disgust me. You are not allowed to pronounce those words.

[@FlamingGuitar14]

As someone who has been playing music for more than a significant part of his life, I sincerely commend you both on this amazing cover. This is absolutely breath-taking and almost made me cry. There are very few pieces of music which have done so and you two had come extremely close. You both are absolutely stunning musicians and I am glad to have ever stumbled upon your work. I have instantly become infatuated with your work.

[@MoisesNieto]

Wow, thank you so much for such a beautiful comment! O_O I don't know what to say, being able to affect someone this way via music is such an incredible reward, really appreciate it! (I gotta admit this composition is amazingly beautiful already, so props to it too haha)

[@FlamingGuitar14]

Music is quite an emotional art and has even medically proven to us that it has helped those who have even been paralyzed to be able to tap to a beat or something of that nature. Either way, HollowRiku, you have a gift and I absolutely commend you for all the hard work you've put into this. I've also looked into your other videos such as the Lavender Town and Cerulean City videos, and my goodness do you ever have a way with the piano. You're amazing, my compadre. You really are.

[@barilnongbri5448]

Whenever I listen to this melody I wish to go back to the old days when I watched Pokemon for the first time

[@kxaifer]

This had reminded me the first time I saw Pokémon 2000 It was a VHS tape that my mum got and the first time I watched it I loved everything about, especially this beautiful melody The flute part has something so beautiful to it and I haven’t found a single film with such a enchanting, elegant, simple yet so beautiful melody Your recreation is beautiful

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much Kevin!! This melody is so beautiful and magical, it had a huge impact on me too!

[@scottybtv2179]

I can never think about Lugia without this song playing in my head

[@BunnyShotaArt]

I fall asleep to this incredible music everynight. It really brings peace to my spirit. It lets me rest at ease.

[@MoisesNieto]

Ow I'm glad it does, Dan's flue is amazing

[@lolyletsplays]

This is the best cover on this song on KZbin

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! I also prefer the sound of the flute, I gotta admit Dan did an amazing job playing his part!

[@Hereson]

Is this the original?! WOAH. This brings back so many memories.. Absolutely beautiful!

[@MoisesNieto]

Haha thank you so much Hereson! We were a bit more loyal to the original this one, glad you've liked it! ;w;

[@Hereson]

HollowRiku - Moisés Nieto I got the instant-chills at the beginning. The flute

[@taiheart37]

Wow amazing it iust actually like from the movie

[@JackieWeni]

This is gorgeous! I've been asked to play this song on flute for a wedding in October. Your clip of the song is just right for flute and piano. Is it possible to get the music for this abbreviated arrangement?

[@arylesghazi5237]

Chaque son est une mélodie qui traverse ton corps

[@timzyt63]

Aaawwwww, no words. Too much nostalgia. My favourite childhood theme from my favourite pokemon movie

[@minorseven8134]

Awesome song and beautiful cover! Key change at 1:58 was perfect!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you!! 😄💙

[@SoldierSice93]

1:58 when that tone hits it takes you back straight to the best time of your life. Childhood.

[@dronagon4813]

It's absolutely beautiful. Heck, it gave me chills! I've always loved the song and the movie, but this made me realise I hadn't even thought of it for way too long. Makes me think of the first time I heard it, so thank you for bringing back that memory!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you Dronagon!! So glad it made you feel that way, I also love this song ;w; Gotta admit 8BitBrigadier's flute is what makes this so magical hehe, I'm so glad he accepted!

[@SirCraigius]

That flute legit gives me chills. So beautiful I don't have the words to express it!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you!!

brought me to tears, thank you! this is my all time favourite Pokemon track. Just hit me with nostalgia hard! I was 9/10 when this movie came out and Lugia's song has never left me all those years. I also always thought it was done by an ocarina like in the movie, but its really obvious now that it was always a flute!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! Aww I was really young when the movie came out too :c The song is so powerful! And yeah it's supposed to be an ocarina song, but I also believe it was originally recorded with a flute cause it sounds the same haha

[@jeffreyplatt7703]

This is my favorite song in the series. I've been watching this video several times a day lately. I can't explain enough to anyone how much I love this song. And you guys nocked it out of the park a million times over with this cover. If I could shake your hand in person and congratulate you both on this cover I would. Thank you.

Pokemon silver being the first game i ever played all the way through, this song and lugia itself hold a special place in my heart. Any time I play it or the remake I always feel nostalgic. Watching the movie not long after my first playthrough was a pleasure. Left a permanent impact on 8 year old me. I'll never forget just sitting there, playing my gameboy i got second hand from my older cousin that year. And looking at the screen while fighting lance, and who else did I have out but lugia, right as He appeared in the movie.

Here is the legend in french 😉 "Ne perturbez pas l'harmonie qui règne entre le Feu, la Glace et la Foudre, De crainte que ces titans n'anéantissent le monde dans lequel ils s'affrontent. Même quand le légendaire Gardien des Abysses s'élèvera pour réprimer la querelle, Si il est seul, son chant échouera, Et le sort du monde sera entre les mains de l'Élu. Ô toi l'Élu, Rassemble dans tes mains les trésors de cette trinité. Combinés, ils feront apparaître le Gardien des Abysses : Lugia"
