Skyrim - The Streets of Whiterun Piano Cover

[@DanNy-ou1dd]

I remember after defeating Alduin in Sovngarde, I returned to Whiterun back to my home, greeted with this song and I felt so happy and sad. It’s truly beautiful

[@TheOneFreeMan77]

Man I really hate that I can't enjoy Skyrim anymore. No matter how many times I play it or different ways I think of to play it I just can't play for more than an hour or so without getting bored. Even with mods the longevity hasn't increased all that much, and now listening to this makes me feel all nostalgic for those first dozen or so hours I played it for when it first came out and everything felt new and magical.. I hadn't been so hyped for a game in ages and I was certain it was going to be a game I could sink years into.. Yet now I can't even pick it up anymore..

[@kylelandry]

I understand. The game becomes repetitive, and time consuming.

[@JakeOfAllTrades25]

I got bored as well. But I came back about 2/3 months later, and made a completely different type of character, and tried to play the game in a different way. :)

Beautiful music, used your cover as well as the official 'Streets of Whiterun' in my wedding. My wife let me choose two songs, that were used while everyone was waiting for their seating and the service to start. Thank you for it, the guys all loved it. They said, "Dude, is that from Skyrim?"

[@asmrcarousel]

"My wife let me"...

[@t41ef46]

Just came across this 7 years later......and it was amazing.

This is just so very beautiful. It's a perfect interpretation of the song, and fits perfectly with all the memories I have from playing the game and getting lost in that world.

[@TheXennier]

This was the first difficult song I learnt in the piano, I remember at the time he didnt write a music sheet for this so I had to watch his video pausing every 2 seconds to write down myself what he was doing. Now its been a few years since I last played the piano and this song brings me back memories I thought i had forgotten... This is so emotive for me right now

[@TheXennier]

UPDATE I´m back at playing the piano... Streets of Whiterun, after almost 6 years, I´m coming back to get you...

Skyrim has such pianoible music.

[@barcafredde]

Skyrim only came out like 3,5 years ago but I still feel nostalgic when listening to this..

[@edmpire3344]

omg... the ammount of passion and love u put into this cover.

[@R1ch8484]

This song like most of what this guy play's. Play's a huge role in my life. Defines my disposition and crafted me into knowing what I should care for in life. Not to worry over another's opinion, but to care for my own only in my current state and love the family I own. He speaks through his music. I'm not sure if any of you can see it but he speaks.

[@o0hbomb0o]

Kyle, this is one of my favorite songs. Period. The dynamics, the energy, the emotion; it's all woven together with the utmost skill. I want to thank you for all the time and dedication you have spent to acquire your talent. And, I want to especially thank you for your willingness to share your gift with others. You, good sir, are a master pianist.

[@somervillettv2272]

This is what it's all about i concur

[@mrnuttle]

I have listened to them all, and this is hands down the best non-original arrangement & performance of this song. IMO, it even tops the full orchestra versions.

[@Badger17805]

mrnuttle agreed this is the best piano aragment ive ever heard

[@momaws77]

I'm. In. Tears. This is the most beautiful covers to one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[@pablogot2522]

[@divinedlink90]

Hey there Kyle Landry, I truly hope you are having a great day . I've been following your channel for the past 6-7 years and I'm pretty sure you get that a lot but I think you should know that you are a true inspiration for me. Every time I listen to your arrangements and I see your passion there's something inside me that wants me to be better. A better human being, a better friend, a better musician. I hope that there'll be much more people that will feel how I feel whenever I listen to your music. It's because of people like you that the world is becoming a better place. Thank you for everything Kyle, you're a true hero. Keep inspiriting and creating.

[@hraith]

Well this is epic. I've only been playing 2 years so far. I can't imagine being this good.

[@ErikCPianoman]

Wow. I've recently been going through all my favorited videos and came across this. Wonderful arrangement. You manage to do some much with so little material. The texture changes, the inner voices, the pacing, everything is spot on. I'd love to see the sheet music if possible. Otherwise I'll just keep be content with listening. :)

[@Ryan692.]

+Piano Man The sheet music is on his website but it is still in the process of being edited I believe. You can still check it out though. It should still be accurate for the most part. Proceed to the transcription factory on his website (you need to sign up first). You'll find it there.

[@Ryan692.]

+Justin Campos Yeah that's an absolutely beautiful rendition of this song. Always been a fan of Andy.

This song always puts me on the verge of tears. It is so beautiful and your rendition of it is just amazing.

[@ChuckS117]

It's been years since Skyrim came out but the music feels new each time I listen to it. Oblivion's OST has the same effect.

[@Damsel_In_Distress_528]

I wish I could hug you Kyle, you've genuinely changed my life so much. I don't often have inspiration to play piano, and instead just do so because it makes me happy for myself, but I'm playing piano because of you. So thanks.. so much.

[@witchubatt]

My love for your talent and the chills the music you play gives me will never die

[@vallenvega]

man, I gotta say this is as amazing as the original the 'vanilla' version gave me chills when it plays, so does this one as an emotionally explosive person, I find both versions relaxing well done. thank you, thank you very much for this cover

That song is one of my favorite selections from the Skyrim soundtrack. Thanks for making this piano cover. AMAZING!

Almost cried listening to this :') Well done my good sir.

[@omedhani3347]

Satoru I haha glad I am not the only one :) This one in specific also reminds me of Lucia, that little girl who sits near the tree in Whiterun. She and Sofia from Solitude. Broke my heart seeing them like that and just had to adopt them, in-game :P

[@witchubatt]

Lol what do you mean almost?? I’m in tears😂

[@canadianbears6145]

i like this camera angle/view the best, thanks a ton man i totally agree with your comment. ign in the game review referred to the skyrim music as "achingly beautiful" and i wholeheartedly agree. such relaxing and awesome music, thanks again

[@ramoimpase5686]

This song aways make me think in the breeze that could softly cool the the hard daily work´s warmth in Whiterun. And make me see the dreams of ordinary people there, Guided by the stars. Dreams floating in Aetherius while their vessels lie empty in their beds until the dawn. And I realize the hope that represents the Dovahkiin watching over them, to keep their dreams possible in this unpredictable life menaced by wars and evils of unfair existance.

[@Daniel-lh2js]

Magic. I would adore to feel you play piano in front of me. These are the things that make me believe there's so much more to this world than what meets the eye. Lovely Kyle.

[@Ryan692.]

You have such great taste in music. You're piano arrangements inspire me to play the piano everyday man. Skyrim's music used to make me feel so relaxed and sleepy when I played. It almost felt like I was in my own world while playing late at night. Jeremy Soule is a genius, and so are you haha. I seriously hope you become a video game composer someday. Kyle Landry should become a household name, you're that talented. Hope to see more arrangements from you soon. :)

TALOS ALMIGHTY. I wholeheartedly smiled when I saw on Twitter that you're doing The Streets of Whiterun for your Skyrim cover. A beautiful and relaxing song indeed, and I listen to it now and then during my long train rides. Kinda have that nostalgia of home and those people that you love :) I love your composition, and I love how it still stays true to the original where it progressively intensifies throughout the song.

Kyle could you please do a medley of Lazy Afternoons, the Ending Theme from Pokemon RSE(Ruby/Saphire/Emerald) , and Pallet town? Those are some of my favorite pieces and they all happen to be in the same key. Also if you could fit in some of Bach's Air on the G String, that would be incredible. Of-course, it would have been incredible regardless cause of your interpretation and improvs are always superb. You're the best Kyle!!

[@PhantomX141291]

Love it when I listen to the first few minutes of your arrangements like this one and I think I'll finally be able to play one of your covers, then suddenly in the middle of the track it gets much more complicated and far above my skill so I realize it'll take much more time to be able to play like this.XD Awesome work, always like to hear the Skyrim soundtrack on a piano!!

[@jaykom3987]

+PhantomPianist91 That happens to me too. When I tried to play his arrangement for "First Step" from Interstellar I could only get through like the first minute of 8 minutes in the song because it got fast and really above my level. I've only been playing piano for about half a year now and I hope someday to be able to play the full song.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

Yeah I'm a bit mad just because I really want to play this. Got the sheet music and up until 3:50 looks like something I can easily play then my heart sank haha. It's so beautiful though I think I'm just gonna have to take a day out (or twelve) to learn it and simplify that climax a teensie bit.

I really like what you've done with this relatively calm piece of the Skyrim soundtrack. I love your transcriptions in general. On the Skyrim note, would you consider trying out Wind Guide You on piano? It's one of the most atmospheric pieces in the game, with a lot of potential for you to work with. I can see your flair coming through very well in that piece. I'd be interested in seeing how you do the calmer string bits between the dramatic choir.
