PMD 2 - I Don't Want to Say Goodbye (Piano Cover) [SHEET MUSIC]

[@hayleeh18]

So I was in a sad mood because I found out I may never see one of my best friends ever again. I started listening to this song, and making up lyrics as I went. Here are the lyrics I came up with (also to clarify why I said "sun" and "light" over and over again, we call my friend a "little mini sunshine" because he always cheers people up). Starting at 1:25 You're my star, The light that fills my sky, And I hate that we must say goodbye I can't bear to have you leave me now, Yet the world Is forcing us apart Forever (forever) Forever (forever) So I sing now, As we drift apart, that You will live on, My brightest sun, I wish that you'd remain In my sky You were my star, The light that filled my sky, And I hate the way we said goodbye I can't bear to never see you now, Yet the world Has forced us apart Forever (forever) I'll miss you, my brightest sun...

[@hesterfranks9716]

I think the lyrics all fit perfectly if you start at 0:22-0:23 Also, if I ever do decide to do a cover, could I use your lyrics? I really like them! And I'd give credit ofc

[@hayleeh18]

Hester Franks Sure! In fact, I would be honored!

[@capncrunch4584]

The words you wrote are so lovely! I'm sorry about your friend, but may I ask to use the words in a comic? I'll credit you of course

I'm crying

[@tinistarvicti3580]

I recently lost my mother, and this made me cry so much.This is the most beautiful thing I've some across in months, thank you so much...

[@jonahelsberry5824]

I started learning this song when I was a freshman in high school. I'm a junior now and I am still struggling to get through it. Yet each time I play it something wells up inside me that I can't explain. That's why Explorers of Sky is my favorite game ever made. It made me feel something that urges me forward in life. This song is the ultimate culmination of that, and I will learn it. By Arceus I will.

[@VanessaDMusic]

Have you learned it??

[@rubikluke]

I started attempting to learn this song today. I didn't get far. I didn't have much time on hand, and the left hand is difficult right at the beginning (I was never good at that kind of motion). I almost gave up. But now, watching this for something like the 20th time, I keep getting more and more determined. I need to learn to play this.

[@DuskPiano]

rubikluke Good luck ;D

[@Noah-gw4gv]

+rubikluke Man, did you make it? Can you play it now?

[@TurkMovement]

dont give up no matter how long it takes! ive been learning a song for a good 2 months now at my own pace, sometimes I feel like giving up but I know in the end it will sound beautiful

[@Munchkin.Of.Pern09]

I’m pretty sure that EoS will always be my favourite Mystery Dungeon Game... ~Spoiler Warning Ahead~ Though I must say that the twist on the traditional ‘goodbye’ that they pulled on us in Super Mystery Dungeon had me crying pretty bad. It was always us that had to say goodbye before... So never in a million years was I expecting to be the one left behind.

[@jonahelsberry5824]

This is living evidence that shows us what games today have lost. It shows us a time when games meant something, no matter what they were about. When music could bring out emotions that we never knew we had. Thank you Dusk, thank you for letting us remember.

[@anotheronebitesthedust6100]

Jonah Elsberry EoS is from 2009. Time mean nothing, PSMD is as great as EoS.

[@jonahelsberry5824]

Ya, with its crap story and predictable characters. Ill give its soundtrack some props but EoS is far superior.

[@anotheronebitesthedust6100]

+Jonah Elsberry The story is really good and the characters are well written. I know that EoS is way superior, but PSMD is good too.

[@infiniteoctopaw]

This song mixes from the Time gear theme, the partner theme, grovyle’s theme, the sunrise theme, the beach theme and the main theme all to draw from nostalgia and really makes you feel the lost. The adventure is over and it’s not coming back. It’s a much more bleak sunrise. God what a masterpiece of music this song is. You can see how it dose all this too make the player cry and it’s diabolically brilliant.

[@ZaiexVASMR]

Subscribed to yah just now. Hearing someone play this on a piano like this, it makes my heart flutter and then give me feels. This is one of my all time fave sad soundtracks out there, and when this plays during the cutscene... It makes the entire scene all emotional. I always get the goosebumps and the feels. PMD Explorers of Sky/Darkness/Time, one of the best spinoff games in the Pokemon Franchise

[@DuskPiano]

Thx. Stay tuned. I'll play this on guitar soon. ;)

[@Eric-qi9je]

I can't understand how this video has dislikes, how you played the piano was beautiful

[@maxwellsandberg7051]

I salute you for being the only other pianist to attempt this difficult transcription.

[@Echo-bp7oc]

I heard this theme many times so I have gotten used to not crying to it, but this hits differently, and I was not prepared, good job on the music.

[@pondwithducks3092]

This serves as a demonstration that sometimes an out-of-tune piano is entirely appropriate and conveys the music beautifully.

[@Dirakiaa]

[@vestabeats6007]

I needed to learn that so badly. To replay it, while you replay memorys of your childhood in your head

[@february6144]

Even though this is kinda old and I've never played the game I still love this song so much. In the month I spent learning it, it's taught me a lot about practicing and how I function as a musician. I still get emotional when I play it because it reminds me of a good friend I lost because they changed for the worse, and I still wait to this day for them to come back. I truly love this song and maybe I'll get into PMD one day but for now I gotta perfect this for informals lol.

[@PixelCaffienated]

If only...the new PMDs follow this emotional format

[@kuwanano_vt]

Would you mind if I try to write lyrics for this song and use your cover as instrumental?

[@dfquartzidn6151]

If the pandemic ends and a movie adaptation of this gets made, I wanna see and hear how many people especially kids are going to cry at the scenes in which these songs play.

BEST game ive ever played, BEST video ive ever watched, you sir, just keep being amazing. You just earned a sub! and many more yet to come! mention this comment when you get to a million please!

[@ElementalFirePS32]

Derp Space Cow then you must! :)

[@Talgoran]

Woo, you're covering this song!!! Here were my thoughts: - The ascending and descending scales gave those parts of the song a rather soothing effect, like the Fairy Fountain theme from the Zelda series. It certainly gave the song a more relaxing feel, instead of just tragic and tense. Which I didn't like. - The placement of the laptop at the top right sorta clashed with the piano and the feel of the music, if that makes sense. Dunno if it was necessary, but small point. - I really didn't like the second stop at 1:24, thought it was jarring. - Really loved the segments from 2:57 onward. - Again, hated the stop at 3:37. Why are you so stop-happy? (I dunno piano but I'm sure it's a pedal.) Can't you just let the beautiful sad note ring and fade? - Video ended early. I feel like you had to cut it short for some reason, which is a shame, since I love it when sad or slow songs have a long time at the end for it to just settle in, you know? Overall, I enjoyed!! Really nice playing! Thank you for making PMD piano covers!! :D :D

[@DuskPiano]

First of all, I thank you that you took the time for such a big and constructive comment! Maybe I start with the little story behind this video: Bespinben the arranger of this song (I believe he will watch this video soon and will read your commend :D) was gone for 2 years. Close to his return, I looked through his old PMD2 arrangements to awake some nostalgic memories from the time I played PMD2. Of course, "I Don't Want to say Goodbye" is one of the most emotional songs from the soundtrack. After some practice and interpretation of my own, I decided to upload it. (Over 2 Years ago, that I heard the original of the song the last time xD) And when I now compare my interpretation with the original, I have to agree to your criticism: It's some kind of varied, like an old "transmission". (I hope this comparison makes sense :P) But all in all I'm satisfied with my interpretation. I thank you for your criticism even if some points are more directed to the arranger. ;D PS: And the Laptop is just standing there, because it is connected with my audio recorder inside the grand piano and I don't have a longer usb-cable. So this is the only place where I can put my laptop.

[@isabellawhittemore4808]

I was seven years old when I played this game. My partner was a vulpix named "Cutie" and I was a skitty named "MeowMeow." When this part of the story came along, I was SOBBING! I was so glad that the ending didn't stay that way, but at the same time I thought, "God damn! How dare they put little kids like me in such grief and then just say 'Ahahaha, SIKE!' They're just screwing with our emotions!" Those were my thoughts as a seven year old 😂

[@leef9874]

So, there was a human named MeowMeow? Her parents must've hated her! (Actually, I had a Skitty named Puffy, so the parents of Puffy must've wanted an embarrassing name! What if Puffy as a human NOT turned into a Pokemon came out as hardcore and edgy! Haha!)

The song is so difficult, specially the left hand. The right hand, well, if you practise it and remember the pattern you'll be able to do it within 2 weeks. I keep making mistakes, and still my brain is trying to pick up the pattern in this song. I fail many times but, Every time I memorise a new note in this song, I feel more courage building up on me and the Determination still supporting me, even on the hard speedy notes and even when the exams are knocking on the door, I still practise it for an hour. Keep Kool, and Play On.

[@DuskPiano]

Das andere war mir einfach zu schwer ^^, da müsste ich ständig zwischen der linken und rechten Hand hin und her gucken um die Tasten zu treffen. Wenn ich in einer Hand etwas relativ gleichbleibendes spiele, kann ich mich auf die andere Hand mehr konzentrieren. Und bei dem ganzen hin und hergespringe geht das einfach nicht ohne ständig zu gucken wo man seine Finger lässt xD.
