C418 - Wet Hands (Minecraft), Played on an Old Piano 

this song is what led my first and only true friend to me i wish i'd known what i was doing wrong in the end i wish she'd unblock me so i could explain myself and fix everything that wasn't fair

I almost feel like the out of tune piano makes this sound better, and too, more sad and nostalgic,, like almost as if its to hear the old thing we know and love, we can hear its aging over the years, but it reminds how long its been with us, and it is still great!

I never thought I'd use this sentence, but this piano is perfectly out of tune.

This is somehow both relaxing, sad and nostalgic

Old out of tune pianos are the gift of heaven when its just perfectly out of tune where the feeling is so unnervingly peaceful that you could sleep to it.

The “out of tune” sound makes me think of someone coming to clear out their childhood home after a parent has passed or something, and they found the piano under a bed sheet and started having memories of learning to play with Mom, so they dusted it off, felt the keys for a few seconds, closed their eyes, took a shallow breath… and this came out. Beautiful.

That sounds so.......Damn nostalgic.....I feel like I'm in the game, the old graphics, the song just playing.....as the sun sets....*sigh*

This piano is perfectly imperfect

If the Minecraft songs aren’t played at my funeral...... *_-IM NOT DYING-_*

It’s crazy how one song can have so many memories attached to it

It gives it a sort of worldly feel. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but it's beautiful.

This is my “If I’m at the piano” song, literally the first if not only thing I will play. I need to learn piano again, lol. Great work!

It sounds pretty odd on an older piano, not in a bad way though. Older pianos seem to have a more sustained sustain peddle, which makes songs like this that never let go of it sound odd. What I usually do is just re-sustain (let go of the peddle, and then push it down directly afterword) everytime the current key switches.

All of the songs in Minecraft sound like fond and fading memories even without the ties to the game.

The fact that it's out of tune makes me cry because it's such a loved and familiar melody and yet it's not exactly the same. Its just showing how things change over the years and it makes me so nostalgic knowing how long it's been. I wish I could return to the moment I first played Minecraft for a day. (Also, I swear I can hear the sheep going 'baah' in the background, lol.)

This feels like it’s your last night alive. You know but no one else does, it’s bittersweet. Your sad, but you spent your happiest moments with the ones you love. And you know you lived your life as you could.

This fills me with a warm, fond but sad, nostalgia that is like none other, the crunch of the grass beneath my feet, the "baah" of the sheep grazing in the meadow, the sun setting over the ocean in front of my oak house. The house, filled with a crafting table, a furnace, a red bed, a chest filled with supplies and odd things found while spelunking, a painting, a few windows, a flower pot, and the entrance to my mine. The good old days

Nostalgia aside, can we just admire how beautiful the video is? The lovely sound, the gorgeous tone/color of the house, the gentle camera; it all feels so delicate, yet feels so much like a peaceful past.

The sound of him standing up at the end sounds like a chest opening and closing, which is kinda like a metaphor for the game. The song is the adventure, mining, hunting, building. And the screen going black with the chest like noise is like putting your items in the chest before going to sleep.

This song beautifully captures those moments, building houses, getting scared of the cave noises, messing around in creative… those moments are far gone but not forgotten. R.I.P old Minecraft

I've just started learning piano, and when I play Minecraft and a song starts playing I think to myself "huh I better go learn that" This further makes me want to. Beautiful playing :)

tbh ive never had such a connection to a song that doesnt also have emotional lyrics. this song is just so relaxing and has so much emotion and memories with it its insane.

*You gather all your dogs and sit on a cliff, overlooking a big field *You enjoy the peaceful music *The sun sets one final time, as you grow up

0:30 will never not give me chills, no matter what version or tone or key or whatever

POV: Winter, 2014, nighttime. Your parents just told you it’s a snow day, there would be no school tomorrow. You look out your window and see the snow falling already. Your friend calls you on Skype, and you boot up Minecraft, hearing the wind blowing outside, lit up only by the light of your computer. All is good.

the out of tune sound is just perfection for this piece. reminds me of watching the sunset on the xbox 360 tutorial world. so much nostalgia.

That piano sounds amazing and I still play minecraft since 2010 and 2021 to keep my self not getting bored of the lockdown that has been around a year now

props to the man for playing this beatifull peace (i can see you are streesed because your hands are a bit shaky) so the fact that you can play with so much tremble is quite impressive :)

In 2015 I literally would have to turn the music off because I would get these immense feelings, idk how to describe them. I started playing Minecraft 11 years ago, but it feels like only a couple years ago

Imagine: It’s the early 2010’s. You are sitting at home in your basement, you boot up your old console and open Minecraft. You open your survival world that you’ve been playing on for a while. You haven’t died yet, but your friend has a few times. Now, you’re both experienced and have full sets of diamond gear. You walk into your house and command your dog to follow you. You exit the house and start to adventure. As you wander through the forest, collecting the occasional flower or tree, the soundtrack starts playing. “Wet Hands” by the games main composer, C418. It gives you a small sense of joy and peace. Now, it’s 2023. You are scrolling through your RU-vid recommended screen. As you scroll past videos of Karens screaming, long-nosed dogs asking “didn’t I do it for you”, the Rock eyebrow memes, and Gen Z cringe, you click on a video of someone playing an old piano. As soon as the tune begins, you are hit with a wave of nostalgia. Your friend lives on the other side of the country now. You have family problems. Your grades are bad. You’re life feels meaningless. The song now triggers the same feeling it did when you were 7. Now, you’re not worried about school as much. All you can do for now is listen. Listen… all you can do. Your fear slowly fades to peace. Your anger to joy, and as the song comes to a beautiful end, you realize, maybe it’s not so bad after all.

Ah wow, so nice. As others have said, that detuned aspect makes it feel like a nostalgic memory. Gave me chillbumps on the first note.

This feels like when you've had a really long day, and you've been trying not to cry the whole day, and then you come home and tell your friends, and they just give you a really tight hug and you start sobbing and you let it all out. Like, it's sad but safe and warm.

Out of tune pianos always give me heartache. It feels like I’m missing out on or have lost something beautiful

That pause at 0:55 is just perfectly imperfect.

honestly the fact that one song from a game about fictional blocks in a fictional world can bring the best stuff out of the worst people is astonishing. there’s so much nostalgia to be pumped out of one piece of music that i get overwhelmed when i hear it.

I'm a beginner to intermediate pianist, and I have started to notice that playing the piano is a lot harder than it looks. This encourages for me to play even more. It also lets me appreciate video creators and pianists like you, because you use your good talent to the fullest. Love seeing creators like you on my homepage ♥

this makes me feel like a kid again, being so happy to go on my xbox and play some minecraft with my friends. i miss those times.

When I told that little girl in the mirror that music saved me, she never believed me. But one day, when she’ll grow up… she’ll understand my point of view. I’m sorry, myself.

This made me genuinely cry. The most beautiful version of wet hands for me, no doubt. I love you for playing this.

I always imagine a snowy winter at my grandparents house while sledding. I miss those days.

this feels like what i would hear in 30 years in the future when i boot up an old copy of minecraft with my future children

I love how songs like Wet Hands can sound good no matter the instrument, so peaceful..

Such a nostalgic piece. Excellently played might I add. I really enjoy how the piano with its age actually adds a high level of authenticity to the composition. Well done to you.

This version makes it sound so ethereal I love perfectly untuned pianos omgg

"There is no such thing as out of tune, as time goes on we all become out of tune" - Christopher Shipp

i just woke up and played this and my morning feels nice already

So many memories. Plus this piano makes it sound even more nostalgic. So beautiful 🥲.

the grandma listening in the backround: "i didn't know he could play like that"

I feel like I’m walking through the woods in a freezing blizzard but something about it, It just feels warm.

Minecraft’s OST is absolutely legendary, nothing can compare

that piano desperately needs tuning, but it somehow makes it sound better--

i’m learning this on the piano as well, it’s great. i feel like when the pedal is held it feels really congested tho, but overall great

congratulations you made me cry tears of nostalgia when i used to be playing in thoes old minecraft tutorial worlds and my wooden house burning every time i built it, good times

Mister, I am having a horrific day. You and your talent at piano has just made it a bit better.

I am not crying, it's just a piece of my childhood stook in my eyes

Such beautifully played! Just a suggestion though, perhaps you might want to lift the sustain pedal a bit more? Not a big deal or anything, just that the melody can get a bit lost and clouded if the sustain pedal is held too long (in between chord changes especially). Just my personal opinion, regardless it sounds amazing!

Well that piano’s G sharp in the melody is exactly the one in the original song! Great video

This made me cry when I heard it as the memory’s flooded me😢😢😢

this is so nostalgic for no reason, it reminds me of happy memories but, it makes me so sad that I’ll never be able to relive those again.

I miss old minecraft, that game is so nostalgic and to hear that song again is like a road to nostalgia world. in fact I don't even remember the last time I heard this particular song. it's just amazing to hear the song again, you know? keep going man this sounded amazing!

I'm listening to this just as the sun is setting with golden rays coming from behind the trees shining into my room, blue sky, fluffy clouds like soap foam, a messy desk. It's quiet, I'm on my bed just savoring the feeling of nostalgia and Deja Vu, missing the joy i had when playing the Minecraft pocket edition.

I've always wanted to play piano, but I've never been accessed to one. The way this guy moves their hands perfectly and the way how the piano is so slightly out of tune makes it a work of art. Bravo!

We have funerals for those who have passed away, but rarely even give ourselves a moment to realize how many of our past selves have died. Until it all hits you at once.

this brings PERFECTLY the feeling from playing minecraft the first time.Its beautiful but also a little scary... Its perfect

This rendition makes me feel that no matter what happens, everything will be alright. Friends and family will come and go, but the memories will be treasured. Even if we end up all alone we will carry them with us.

i love this so much. as a violinist i think abt how lovely a duet would be

This is bringing my back to the old 360/ps3/4 days, the days where we had the box create world menus when we had online minigames when they worked, very few things bring tears to my eyes, this is one of them

C418 deserves an award for the minecraft OST honestly. It invokes such powerful human emotion.

Hey everyone, thank you so, so much for all of the support and attention! I never would've imagined this video would blow up so much. (Obligatory) Only, like, 1% of my viewers are subscribed, so please consider hitting that subscribe button and the notification bell! Thank you! Also, if you're interested, I have a community Discord server for chatting and whatnot: discord.gg/5PR7VRsKxA - I'd love to chat with you guys! Just to address a few points I keep getting comments about: - Yes, I know it would sound better with proper pedaling. I didn't know how to pedal at the time of recording; I was self taught and only about 10 months in (with a 5 month break, so actually 5 months of playing, really). I am much better now, a year later (see my recent videos). - For the love of god, I get it! It needs to be played with Wet Hands! I'll record it again with wet hands since you guys keep commenting about it. Maybe ;) - Some people have said the tempo is too fast. Give the original a listen then come back…I played it, like, **maybe** 1bpm faster, haha. - I've got a 1,000 subscriber special coming out real soon, which will explain where I'm taking my channel and all those good things. Stay tuned! Thanks again guys. Your support means a lot to me.

this is actually so nostalgic, thank you

I'm currently listening to this on a rainy day and thinking about everything I have ever done in my life

I like to think that old pianos have a sentimental value. Not just as in a person cherishes it, but the piano itself gets happy when its played. Thank you for making this piano happy :)

This sounds like you beat the game and after it all you return to your distant, tiny little house in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful

Listening to minecraft music by itself is... almost hard, as if you're grappling with your very soul, looking in on yourself and everything you've become after that first time you heard this. After it all.

Nostalgia is a pleasant feeling.

Why do detuned pianos sound so hauntingly beautiful?

This brings me back bro, sitting in my little 4x4 shack, the floor was a bed and the walls were crafting tables and furnaces, it was the time of my life and through global deadly pandemics I would give anything to go back to little old me sitting on the couch with my iPad playing the greatest video game of all time

we all took our time with this song in its golden years for granted. we never thought we would come to a day where we would cry from such simple background music. we all miss them. we all miss that time, we all wish we had done it all while we had the opportunity. Minecraft is something that people miss, even though you can play it any time. I miss my friends that would laugh with me while this song played. I miss the time we spent. I miss them.

The sound of this type of piano always reminds me for the saloons of the western movies :)

honestly this is one of the most calming videos I've seen in this website

salute to all the good times, to all the good friends along the way, and to all the people who made that tune feel special in your heart.

I'd sit and listen to this for days just to remember the good times.

This feels like remembering something from long ago you have forgotten until now

Why did this make me tear up, maybe because it reminds me of a time I can never go back to

This is what makes me want to learn piano. The joy of being able to create a vibe that no normie will get.

Is it just me or Is it when you play along to it It sounds like the end of the world

This video came into my recommended while a light storm is going on outside and the vibes are immaculate. The slightly off key music, the soft rolling thunder and the gentle patter of rain on my window ac unit is just peak good vibes all around. This is a core memory.

I’m literally crying right now This song has a sort of feeling, kind of like nostalgia but a feeling I can’t describe

The moment I heard the first 2 notes…. Memories flooded back, good ones. … I miss old Minecraft

"Once you make your first house You built Minecraft" -GarField

Me at 80 years old with dementia remembering a silly game with cubes

people being nostalgic: 😭 5 year olds: *catjam*

C418 cooked somethin really really special. Feels liminal, and loonely. But its so calming too, it feels like your are in good hands

i can almost hear the sounds of breaking dirt blocks, my old cat purring, my mom making lunch in the kitchen, i can almost smell the house i grew up in. Like coffee and fresh air, and laundry detergent.

It sounds like it’s being played underwater, and it’s beautiful

Hey, Thanks to you Yotta, I've learned some of this too! I am a pianist and I love the sound of this old piano with Wet Hands, You've inspired me to learn and make a journey through learning Wet Hands, so, just thank you, you've inspired me and many other people, thank you for the amazing piano content and thank you for entertaining us, Much love, To Yotta. 💖💖💖 Edit: thanks for the heart @Yotta

Awesome playing!!!! In the 5 years I used to play, I never managed to achieve a level like this lmao

This song on this piano struck my heart in a way no other song did before, thank you I used to play minecraft 1.8.9 with my cousins years ago, this gave me tears after a bad day, god bless❤

No child nowdays will ever feel the same nostalgia we did when it comes to minecraft. As we grew, so did Mojang. All of our favourite minecraft youtubers getting old.

nostalgic, beautiful, simply amazing.
