Interstellar - Hans Zimmer - First Step Piano Cover 

Me seeing the title: "I want to learn this" Me after the video: "This little maneuver is gonna costs us 51 years"

it's been 8 years and this version of this song is still the best one ive heard on youtube :)

me: i wanna learn this.. piano teacher: me too bro .....

I will learn this piece, and then record myself playing it in the middle of nowhere in Iceland all within the next 4 years. It is necessary. It’s my mission.

Still can't believe this video has grown this fast! Thank you guys

Perfect Actors, Perfect Film, Perfect song, perfect pianist.

Me: I want to learn this. Piano teacher: It's not possible! Me: _No. It's necessary_

Do piano players actually realize how truly amazing they are?

There's a guy this good sitting in an office chair next to a Pikachu plushie? I swear, he should be performing in orchestras and in huge stadium performances. Insane skills.

1,000,000 ladies and gents!

please never delete this. it's the only video that can bring me back to live or let me feel what I really feel deep inside. it's everything. I watched million times. and every time again I got goosebumps and I felt my heart pounding.

Literally the best Interstellar cover ever... I've heard it over 100 times

Thanks for all of the support!

I'm away in the military and listen to this song when I start to miss my family. It makes me realize even though the story is fiction, that it could be much worse like Cooper missing out on decades within just a few days and giving up his family for the better. Makes a few months away from home seem a lot easier.

Thanks God for this life, that i can listen music like this.

My best friend died at a young age, and this was his favorite song that I would play for him. I played it at his funeral. When I learned this, I put your cover on the slowest speed possible and wrote everything down. Thank you for putting this out there. He died in 2018 and I still go back to this

I would give anything to hear this live in real life.

3:52 This is where Kyle's real skills start to set in. He's not even looking at the sheets anymore and is ready to just go all out on improvising. Then he just explodes at 5:59 and creates this wow moment as you watch in awe. This is what sets him apart from other pianists. His improvising and arranging skills are second to none and you feed off of his emotional playing. Thanks for the inspiration Kyle.

imagine, there is cooper from interstellar behind those books watching him from the future

Man, his fingers are speaking the language of gods

I still find myself coming back to this cover. Amazing.

As a beginner piano player videos like this give me inspiration to continue to practice and not give up on frustrating pieces.

2020 anyone? Such a gorgeous rendition! At 6:00, I wanted to cry. ❤️

2022... still the best cover of Interstellar... God keep blessing you kyle...

7:12 I can't say how much I love this chord. The added seventh just brings up so many harmonics that are so pleasing to the ear. **eargasms**

One day I will catch up to you, and when that happens, Im going to find you, look you in the eyes, take your hand, and shake the hell out of it. You have made me push myself as far as I can go back. You have helped nourish my love for the piano. You have shown me that there is more than just playing the piano. You have shown me how to truly express myself. You have forever changed my life, and I will never forget you. Thank you Kyle Landry

At around 6:00 it's just wow... I've been returning to this video couple of time per year at least... I hope my son who studies piano will play it for me one day... Thank you so much for this.

Hans Zimmer didn't knew that this piece could be played in this manner, far far away by bilion light years better than original composition in the movie. Kyle, it looks like piano is part of your mind. Ten years I am listening you playing many compositions, and every one of them has some your charm in it.

WOW, words cannot explain how amazing this is. You definitely owned this track!

I don't understand why people would dislike this video. As if they were not satisfied with his incredible skills. As if they could do a better job then this... I watch this video almost everyday, and it gives me the same amazing feelings every time. Glad I found this video!

Everything about this is astonishing. The technique, the speed, the accuracy, the musicianship, the humble appearance, it's all the world needed. Thank you dearly for sharing, Kyle

I don't know how many times I've watched this now but never gets old.

love this movie. seen it 3 times. going to see it again

Hans Zimmer himself would be impressed by your rendition. For mere mortals like myself.... mind blown with a smile.

Been watching this for years, have watched this over one thousand times easy, just now giving a like. I'm ashamed! This has been Inspiring and has helped my mind feel at ease. Thank you

Me: *has to use 10 pages of sheet music for a minute of playing* Kyle Landry: *plays 9 minutes of music with two pages of music*

1:46 .....At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

heard it over a year ago still keep coming back

I thought I’d already come across the best renditions of this Hans Zimmer piece, until in the comments of another video someone said to check out Kyle Landry’s rendition. Oh my days, I’m just blown away after just listening to this!! It gave me all of the feels, it’s just so beautiful! Thank you. I’m 18 days into my piano learning journey and would one day love to be competent enough to play this piece, it’s my favourite composition. I must say, your rendition is more beautiful than the original, sorry Hans!!!

Have been here since the Kyle556 days. I'll always come back because your music makes my heart sing and an hour of your playing cleanses my spirit. Thank you mate for all your hard work and grinding. You leave us with endless choices to listen too whenever we feel the need.

I couldn't leave this video with out leaving a comment. I've been more than 25 years playing multi instruments and the feelings you have put behind the keys are phenomenal. Your performance is first class. This is the first time I right a very strong review on RU-vid and it goes to you and your amazing playing style that promotes emotions. God bless.

Zimmer + Nolan = Awesomeness..!!

After 9 years im still here. You are so talented. Wow. Takes me right back. Amazing

I was here 6 years ago when this was uploaded, still come back to it all the time to appreciate the emotion and skill behind this

This makes me cry exactly like the movie it self

Wow, amazing. Whereas other covers just try to replicate the notes as exact as possible, your interpretation really gets to the essence of the original score. The original score was always made for the organ, so you can't just repeat the notes on another instrument. With your interpretation, you really managed to translate the organ piece into a piano piece. Well done!

Guess what, a childhood dream of playing piano just came out 2 months ago. Started with a digital piano and 20 days later i purchased a baby grand Steinway. All of this because Ive heard this piece and it touched me so deeply that I started all of this adventure. Thanks Kyle Landry, you are truly an inspiration. I hope I could play this piece in rhe future as musical as you do!

I have consistently listened to your rendition of Hans Zimmer's "First Step". It is masterfully done and you display the emotion in it so vividly. I can never get tired of this piece, especially done by you.

You make it look so easy, im struggling with the first 20 seconds

This is my all time favorite piece. I have came back to this videos a million times and it is equally amazing everytime. I picked up the piano again after quitting after 4 years piano lessons as a child. But this time I picked it up again with a clear goal in mind. To one day play this piece. I am now practicing piano again for about 1,5 years averaging about 1-2 hours practice daily. I have made large steps in progress and have good intonation I have been told. Now 1,5 years later I am getting close to the point were I feel confident to start learning this piece. Thank you for inspiring me Kyle : )

this piece makes me feel so lonely, like there is only me standing on the earth under the night sky full of stars

This is the best pianist on RU-vid hands down. Incredible talent and such an amazing tune.

I wish I was his neighbor.. like I would just sit and listen through the wall.. content that I got to sit there invisible and hear this person play their heart or or just practice.

2:51 OMG, It's the most perfect introduction I've heard, I love it!!

Anyone from 2019? It’s still beautiful af

I've been watching you play a lot of pieces for years now... But this is the first time I'm just hearing this made me cry and I don't know why... You are probably one of the most gifted and talented piano players I've ever listened to in my entire life... Please continue to do this because you inspire people and you definitely give people emotions with your arrangements... This is one of the first few movies where I was in love with the soundtrack from front to back.. so hearing this was just phenomenal

Watching you play has helped me to understand the importance of gestures used when you play and how that contributes to the sway and beauty of the song

This is like my 50th time watching this, simply amazing!

What an absolute masterpiece. Many years many times have I listened to this and applied to my life. Watching it this time really brought perspective the love and passion and time this took. It was the reason I bought myself a piano to one day be able to play this but alas life takes hold and doesn't let go and I don't think I will ever be able to. Kyle Landry, Master Pianist, nothing less is deserved.

I have listened to this so many times. I love how you sit in the swivel chair. You are so relaxed and comfortable with this piece. Some days a can't get this melody out of my head. You are so talented and dedicated to the piano.

I love it how 4:40 is actually half way. It feels like it's about to end but nope, there's still half an amazing song to go.

Hey Kyle. 2 times in my life, I have for real wondered if it would be possible to hire a musician to play on my wedding party. 1st were a gentleman in Key West who played on a bar for an audience of 10, but what a performance and what musical genius he was. And the 2.nd one is you. How I would have loved to be able to pay your ticket to Sweden to play on my own wedding party to come sometime in the future after the pandemic is gone. Its seldom to hear such perfection.

I'd been wanting to at piano my entire life secretly as I grew up around a group of boys in our neighborhood & it wasn't cool. My wife finally bought me a keyboard at 47 years old as she knew my truth. 2 years later & I have memorized 2 songs I can play (by sight not reading - no formal training) & I have been working on this one & can play up to 58 seconds where I get I to the deep water & can't swim. I've watched this video no less than 500 times & I still am awed by it's beauty. Is there a tutorial on this song or how would someone persistent in learning this song learn how to at it? Gets complicated but I'm willing to put in the effort to learn this song. Thank you Kyle for sharing the fruits of your considerable talents & efforts!

I've waited 23 years for this....... :D

1:43 At first, I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinkin' I could never live Without you by my side, But then I spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong. And I grew strong And I learned how to get along. And so you're back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon your face. I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key, If I had known, for just one second, You'd be back to bother me. Well, now go! Walk out the door! Just turn around now, 'Cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one Who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive! I've got all my life to live. I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive! I will survive! Hey, Hey! It took all the strength I had Not to fall apart And trying hard to mend the pieces Of my broken heart. And I spent, oh, so many nights Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry, But now I hold my head up high! And you'll see me, somebody new, I'm not that chained up little person Still in love with you. And so you felt like droppin' in And just expect me to be free, But now I'm savin' all my lovin' For someone who's lovin' me! Go now! Go! Walk out the door! Just turn around now! 'Cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one Who tried to break me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive! I've got all my life to live. I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive. I will survive! Oohh.. Go now! Go! Walk out the door! Just turn around now! 'Cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one Who tried to break me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive! And I've got all my life to live. And I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive. I will survive! I will survive!

Just imagine that you are doin regular stuff, like working in your office, or vacuum cleaning, and somewhere in the world at the same moment such playing is happening

By far it’s the best piano cover of this song on youtube!

The most impressive performance I've ever seen!

through your hands every score change normal to beautiful. sorry for my poor English here is Korea. and Im really big fan of yours

I remember I used to listen to this cover specifically on Spotify without knowing that you played it and that it wasn’t an original piece. Once I found out it was an ost from the film interstellar, I began watching covers on RU-vid and found once again this cover. I was speechless to find out you composed it and just watching your performance gave me chills throughout the whole experience. Honestly, you were my gateway to Hans Zimmer and the amazing world of movie soundtracks and how great the impact of those osts are. It’s been a couple years but I wanted to thank you regardless for all the music you have blessed me with and introduced me to. 😄

Your playing blows me away every time. Never get tired of hearing this. It brings me to tears. It is now permanent music on my IPad. Kyle you are simply amazing. So glad I discovered you. You are my FAVOURITE piano player on YT.

Absolutely beautiful. All those years of piano lessons and dedication and you're personal energy for music. It's who you are and you make the world sound and feel peaceful. Thank you!

This was extremely beautiful.

The most powerful piano interpretation of this song. The most expressive piano performance I have ever heard.

Eng: I watched this in 2015, I’m watching this in 2024! Oh my God, this is a masterpiece. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! Rus: Смотрел это в 2015, смотрю это в 2024! Господи Боже, это шедевр. Огромное спасибо от глубины души!

how is this even possible? my right hand would have fallen into pieces.. twice.. your playing is admirable!

it's 2019 and i still find myself coming back to rewatch this masterpiece... wish i could erase it from my memory so i could feel what it was like to watch it for the first time again !

Quarantine music. I visit this video multiple times every year for the last 5 years and it still induces goosebumps. Elite talent.

Piano is the most beautiful instrument ever. After all those year playing piano, it still shievers my spine to play the music I love.

6:30 He closes his eyes and still hits every note flawlessly. Wow....

This is now available for download :) loudr.fm/release/interstellar-first-step/Brvtw

So talented because your music really touched my heart. The climax parts makes me feel like l was running up stairs to heaven. Also feel free and soul-shivering‥ Music doesn’t need any border, any language 👏 Thank you

7:23 faded so perfect

fucking song makes me want to cry......

www.noteflight.com/scores/view/94ba076b75f4bcba76abe3c61b8ea1d0392f7fb6 Full score of the piece (not done by me), but I thought I might drop it off here :)

I listened to this while tripping and now I cry Everytime I hear it. Idk what it is but it activates something in me. Calling this song beautiful doesn't even begin to do it justice

I always come back for this

It's awesome. Respect from Russia 🇷🇺

Best version on youtube!

After years I am still amazed at this piece of art. 7:23 How does he manage to make it sound so smooth, so awesome.

This rendition of First Step hits like no other. Start to finish, unbelievably beautiful.

I love how the silence at the end is still part of the song.

MURPH!!!! DON'T LET ME LEAVE MURPH!!!

I had watched many pianists that plays this song. But I have never ever seen that not just playing but also living the song in the heart and soul as you. If I were a man lives in 60s and you were the pianist in the bar, I would definitely unhat and present my memento watch for you.

what an insane performance, i cant image all the work to be able to play like that, its unreal

To this day, this is still the most beautiful thing my ears have had the privilege of hearing.

2 years later i still listen to the piece every time i want to feel music

2020 in the epidemic, and here I find my peace. In your music. I also have been inspired by your composing. This pice, Zelda: song of healing, Zelda: fairy fountain...etc . Thank you. I also hope to some day in the future play those pice’s!

I’ve been working on this piece for about 5 months now. Only a little more than half way through. This video gives me motivation every time I watch it.

Thank you for this. I had such a bad day and now im smiling. The goosebumps... The feeling...
