I can't get over how easy you make it look. Great job

[@averagecornenjoyer6348]

It's already easy enough. Just practice, since it's unusual, but when you get the way of playing it it becomes easy and you be like "wha, was it THIS easy??" Since it is mostly trembling your hand on the piano and the arpeggios are just one hand form, lowering the fingers and jumping quickly on another octave and doing the exact same thing. It's repetitive but it doesn't really sound like so.

It is as eash as it looks...... For him

[@bwenspwinnenhever5757]

@@averagecornenjoyer6348 its not just playing it, he literally composed this entire thing, the chords are repetitive so he had to make sure that they all work well together, and adding bass that will cover up the repeating parts. It doesn't just take practice and then its easy for you all the time. It takes serious time and effort for each god damn peice and i hope you respect that.

[@averagecornenjoyer6348]

@@bwenspwinnenhever5757 I know how much effort it takes to compose such a piece, i'm talking about how relatively easy it is to play it

Seeing your channel with this little subs is as if I were seeing a KZbin Rewind video with no dislikes. You're music is phenomenal and you need more people watching your videos and subscribing! Edit: and that goes for both of your channels!

Thanks Davis! I like this feeling of having a new channel, feels like a lot less baggage haha

Yes this is the one, the one that made me discover your channel all those years ago.. This video blessed my day as I learned that I failed another class and have to retake it.. Thank you Lionel

@Annalise Craig thank you! I appreciate it

[@TrackrS]

Omg Bat! I loved ur arrival of the hero song. I listen to it basically every day. It is so good and tells a story through the music

[@BatikanIscan]

@@TrackrS thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed AotH!

[@amna.ssiddiqui9546]

I swear, this song just sends me into a different dimension

[@madeleinemiller6117]

From what I’ve collected, there are three styles of Lionel Yu. 1. Simple, pretty, soft, and generally in the middle of the piano. 2. Staccato, loud, epic, chords or octaves, generally in the bass side of the spectrum. 3. Flowing, difficult arpeggios in the left hand and insane, melodious, very high chords and octaves in the right hand.

[@delphinebrasero5265]

And in this vidéo what is the style

[@noiseofthevoid7363]

And Colors of the Soul has all three of them

[@Dynvali]

Ooh, this was a pleasant surprise. I was literally just looking for The Black Star to listen to and ended up finding this new rendition. I must have missed the initial upload since it's on a new channel, did something happen to Musicalbasics? That being said, it sounds fantastic as usual. Still the same piece I know and love, but with some nice changes. I see you changed up the melody up a bit at around 3:20 and later on; it fits beautifully and helps differenciate it from the first part. Not much else to say other than I absolutely love this entire piece, especially with a new fresh variation. Music aside, the visuals in this video were perfect, it looks like the notes are rays of light from the black star. You never fail to amaze, keep it up!

[@LionelYuPiano]

Thanks and im glad you enjoyed this new version!! Musicalbasics will now be solely dedicated to classical covers and remixes. This channel is for my originals :)

[@MJ-sp6pq]

@@LionelYuPiano where is the original from about 10 years ago? On the piano not the keyboard. That was a great version. Did you take it down? I like the last one too but they were different and that made it even greater 👌.

[@zabdi964]

Black Star never gets old, still one of my favorites from your collection of compositions. :)

[@xxbalt9429]

This piece has stood the test of time. I've listened to it at least 50 times now and I'm still not bored. Keep up the good work Lionel! :)

[@sp10sn]

Holy f***. What a piece. What presentation! You really brought this music to life!

[@oberen4674]

the piece is amazing and your way of interpreting also without words

[@BrentonSwafford]

This music made me feel like my ship was struggling to escape the powerful gravity well of your star. Terrifying! Well done!

[@rtyzxc]

I remember the video with the shaky keyboard from 2012, I thought it was blunt title but banger piece, now years later I found your channels, subscribed for The Cursed Path, and now I find it's the same guy. The world truly is smaller place than I thought.

[@n3b933]

Love this song! What's the difference between this and the one many years ago?

[@Crea-Bea-Explosie]

Looping this like crazy and that rythemic patern at 4:01 and 4:08 is really catchy! you also used it at 3: something but it didn't get the change to be discoverd as much because of the solid chords..... What long did it take you to find that this motive would sound perfect? Also because of the suspencefull sound i guess it's called sus 4 if going from the E minor? Another part 1:20 remind me on some motive from the musical Jekyll and Hyde.

[@noahcaelum6796]
