Ludovico Einaudi - Experience 

Merry Christmas!! Here is a little gift to you all, from me. It's not the classic jolly carol or not even really Christmas themed like the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from last year, but I think this piece best sums up what this year has been - managing to capture both the happy and the sad in one short and ever repeating, yet subtly changing theme: an experience. It's been over 2 years since the last Ludovico video, and I'd say without a doubt he's been the most requested composer since, so to end this strange year, a return to something familiar and comforting is in order. I'm wishing you all the best for 2021, a year ago we had no clue what was in store for us in 2020, let's hope that this next year will be a much more positive surprise. Thank you all for tuning in, and Merry Christmas ♥

It’s often difficult for me to appreciate covers of Experience on the same level as the original as it is my favourite song of Einaudi, but you did an amazing job with this! Deeply enjoyed it!

I think Ludovico Einaudi is probably the master of repetition. His melodies are simple but with the slightest of changes he's able to convey so much emotion. I can usually play his compositions to a decent level and i am so happy that i am able to play such beautiful pieces. I have been playing the piano for 10 years (and the flute for 12 XD). I started when i was 8 years old and while i stopped having lessons a while ago i never lost my love for playing and songs like this are why i still love it so much. :)

Listening to this while walking through nature actually heals my soul

This is the singular must utterly beautiful piece I have ever heard.

The visuals are brighter than my future

This song may look difficult, but if you put the time and effort into you’ll be able to play it. I learned it in a week because I was so excited to learn this song. If your ready to give up, keep trying. Trust me it’s worth it.

I'm not speak English, sorry. But I need talk about my favorite song. Experience é a minha música favorita. Quando escutei ela primeira vez, eu imaginei a vida de uma pessoa. Nascer, crescer, reproduzir e morrer. Esse é o motivo pelo qual estamos vivos, cumprir nossa missão nessa Terra. Depois de um tempo essa música deixou de ser minha favorita e eu esqueci de sua existência. Mas quando tive depressão, eu a escutei novamente. E eu tive uma nova visão completamente nova dessa música. Eu já não tinha mais vontade de viver, me sentia morta por dentro, não via mais sentido para continuar respirando, então essa música perdeu todo aquele significado e adquiriu um novo. Essa música, significa para mim, a confusão da minha mente. O modo como os instrumentos vão sendo acrescentados, reflete os meus pensamentos execivos. Sempre penso demais, de modo que minha mente fica sobrecarregada, me causando problemas mentais e físicos. Mas toda vez que escuto essa música, eu sinto a tempestade da minha mente entrar em harmonia. As notas silenciam as vozes dentro da minha cabeça. E o que eu escuto é uma bela sinfonia. Sempre choro ao escutar essa música, pq ela me curou, ela me fez voltar a vida. Ela e apenas ela. Quando ninguém estava comigo no meu pior momento, ela estava lá. E conseguiu acabar com o peso do meu corpo, mente e alma. Só tenho a agradecer ao Ludovico por essa magnífica obra que me ajudou no emu pior momento. Obrigada. 04/02/23

Today i was filming a violinist who was playing this composition. I haven't heard Ludovico Einaudi before, but now i'm sitting in my room crying because of the effect this melody has on me. What a masterpiece

The king has returned.. ..and he's better than ever

I play this amazing song for my mother and all I get is a "cool"... WOMAN THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS IS A GENIUS

This piece gives me goosebumps the WHOLE time. This piece doesn’t make me happy at all. It just makes me sad. Such a moving and truly wonderful story that this song is. This is literally the most beautiful piece I think I’ll ever hear in my lifetime. BEYOND WORDS. Thanks Rousseau and Ludovico. 🥺

Imagine everyday you hear this as like the first time you heard this song

This wasn't just a damn good video it was an experience

I once read under a Einaudi's video that his music is like different types of pizzas: same base, but everytime some different ingredients and fillings. That's the best explanation. His music isn't repetitive, it's just different delicious pizzas.

What an invention....Music and Piano...just Paradise on earth

This song reminds me of the good times I had with my mother 😥

I lost my daughter August 5 2021 this song played today on my feed and threw me to floor... never before have I heard a melody that flooded me with such intense emotions as this one has.. the composer is a genius and I would like to thank him for making such a beautiful song with every keystroke I remembered so many beautiful moments I shared with her. Thank you for reminding me of them all. God bless you..

I'm gonna learn this no matter how many hours ,days , months , or even years I'm gonna learn this this is my dream to be a piano artist never give up on ur dreams

1:48 Goosebumps. Every single time.

I remembered when I first saw this arrangement a few days after its release and here i am 3 years later almost mastering the whole song. Thank you Rousseau for inspiring me!

Einaudi is so soothing!

My guy is finally alive.

This song makes you feel every emotion , and I understand why it's called experience.

wunderschön ...mir stehen die Tränen in den Augen

“Life is like a piano; the white keys represent happiness and the black show sadness. But as you go through life's journey, remember that the black keys also create music.” in short, remember yesterday live today dream tomorrow. Wish all of us will have a good year.

We don't speak the same language but we all understand music !!

I was traveling about a month ago now and the airport I was in to go to Greece there was a piano by the seating area. I thought it would be amazing if someone played like in all those YT videos you see around, but didn’t expect it to happen. Then this young girl (early 20s likely) came up and played this beautiful piece and I was mesmerized by it. Just sat, listened, and enjoyed the moment. Took me about a month to find the piece, but I finally did, and thou I’m just starting to play piano at 26, I would love to be able to play this beautiful and mesmerizing piece one day ❤️. Thank you to that girl for playing and showing me this amazing piece, and thank you for putting a great tutorial of it online 💖.

This is truly breathtaking. I have never had a song bring me to tears without knowing why. Until this. Utterly beautiful. The composers…… a total masterpiece

The third Rousseau Christmas and the third multi-instrumental Christmas video - what instruments do you want to see next?

Things you love to see: Rousseau uploading twice in one month

I lost my boyfriend on January 10, 2022. suicide. he wanted to leave and sadly he made it. this song brings back to light the memories I have of us, and the reasons why it's worth living. thank you Rousseau for making this composition even more special. a kiss 💖

If you did not feel any emotion listening to this masterpiece, I pray life hasn't numbed you! This composition evokes nostalgic reflections on the richness of life, prompting a deeper contemplation of its beauty. Hopefully, you will not dwell excessively on your past personal adversities and perceived injustices as I was on the verge of such.❤❤❤❤

This isn't a piece anymore. It's a masterpiece.

WOOOAAAHHHH I REQUESTED THIS AGES AGO AND IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS FOR AGES AND I WAS THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE SO COOL IF ROUSSEAU COVERED IT THIS IS SO COOL WHAT-

Ein Wirbel der Gedanken und Gefühle. Diese Musik trägt dich wohin du willst. ❤

Una delle piu belle melodie mai create❤

It’s Christmas morning. I haven’t even gone downstairs to open presents because I would rather hear your beautiful playing!

This song makes me imagine an old man on a rocking chair going through the photo albums of his life . How he started as a kid; carefree, joyful and cheery. Then he grew up and met the love of his life, had ups and downs, had children, watched them grow, watched them leave, watched his love taking their last breath. And now he is the same him as he started; ALONE. He's nostalgic about reminiscing the past, feeling anger, happiness, love, hate, fear, joy and ..... suddenly it's calm again . He says goodbye to this world just to start a new journey somewhere else !

Whenever I hit a challenging time at work or life in general, I always come back to this song. To me, it sings the story of happiness, pain, loss, and also the eventual redemption and joy that comes after making it through those struggles. It truly helps me fight on.

Аплодирую стоя. Это шедевр!!

It’s nice to know modern composers are getting recognition

I just played this for my school's graduation concert and it was so magical. Truly an experience

Can’t believe people could walk past a performance like that without stopping. People stop and smell the roses. Fantastic piano playing.

I just learned how to play this song. I've been self-teaching myself for about a half a year now, and 3 months ago I would never have thought I'd ever finish this beautiful piece. Whoever's out there that's doubting themselves, YOU CAN DO IT! Keep practicing, and you'll get it in no time.

You probably started rendering that last Christmas

Ludovico is my favorite pianist even if you don't like piano music you have to admit the man who wrote this song has outstanding talent.

Spettacolo!!! È la versione più bella che abbia sentito❤

honestly this is one of my favourite songs

Two uploads in one month? Thats got to be a record! Merry Christmas everyone, stay safe! ❤️🎄

This was beautiful Rousseau, the duality in the effects are stunning and I have no fricking idea how you got your hands to glow red with blue lights! Absolutely amazing and I'm looking forward to anything you work on in the future

This is an indescribable feeling. The whole range of emotions from joy to pain. I want to cry because we miss a lot of opportunities and waste time. It feels like this song is saving people's lives literally and figuratively. I'm ready to listen to her forever. It's unbelievable.

I never thought I would cry over a melody but listening to this song while remembering the good and bad memories will make you cry like a child 😢😢😢

I'm not saying this as a joke or anything like that but I want someone to play this at my funeral. That's how much I like this song its so deep.

I want to hear this on my way to heaven.

im a bit late, but god this is such a pretty piece, the strings, the organ, the melodies, it all feels like a story written coming to an end that you cant help but smile at with tears, sorry if this was a generic comment but its so pretty. i felt like i had to voice this, have a great one yall.

I love how this song can bring all the pain back to life in every way from the bottom of my heart/Soul/Spirit... I can feel/see/experience every single moment and every feeling as if it were happening right now 😌

hauntingly beautiful and wonderous performance, can't stop listening to this, well done, prefer it to the original. What's also hugely impressive (to me at least) is the stretch in the left hand - F# - C# - A as a chord!

You're running through a forest. Which one, you don't know. The trees here stretch skyward with no visible end. You're tiny compared to them, to the universe, and it's suffocating. Each step you take, it hurts, moving on. Your mind keeps going back to where you came from, where you entered the forest. You don't remember. All you ever knew was the forest. The trees thin around you, and you can see only a dazzling blue. You forge onwards, because that's all you can do. Head forwards only, no matter how much you try to cling on to something. You enter an oasis. The blue, you notice, is the blue one sees in the ocean. It's fitting, because, you notice, the blue is water. A beautiful waterfall cascades over smooth grey-black stones, falling into a small pond. All of it is surrounded by marble pillars, gleaming white and carved with designs. The area appears to glow with life, with light, with hope. It's a welcome relief from the harshness and darkness of the forest. You try to stay as long as you can, but this time, you don't cling on to a pillar, don't clutch onto the stones as if your very existence depends on it. You're pulled by the invisible string of fate back into the forest, and this time, you don't fight it. It's not over. It's far from over. But you, for a minute, for a second, for a hour, saw happiness. Saw a glimpse into the future, where things, maybe, would be alright. And that's enough for now. The light, the oasis, it never left you. It's there, hidden deep within your soul, but it's there. Whatever you're going through, it'll end, sooner or later. Don't give up. The oasis is just a little farther. You can make it.

If took clips of ALL of the moments in my life that has made me the 42 tear old man that I am today, this would be the soundtrack to that mini movie. All of my experiences culminated into one heartbreaking, yet beautiful experience.❤ I love this song.

This piece is absolutely terrific! Makes me feel such a beautiful mix of emotions, as if summing up life itself

His hands are faster than my internet connection.

Just learned this in 3 days, I swear every piece just got so much easier after i learned to play Nuvole Bianche

I think this is one of the greatest music to ever exist! I gotta say I really do love these relaxing piano songs

God our great heavenly father will be proud of you man he the great creator knowing their is another creator who made such a masterpiece you made him proud your skill and mind has a strong connection with who you are and never forget of how valuable you are and how much talent cuz god is proud to see his child make a masterpiece like this God bless you all Amen 🙏✟❤❤

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not coming. Edit: Wow, thanks for all the likes!

i’ll never understand how people will dislike a video they searched up

В наше время шедевры создаются, хоть и редко. Это потрясающе! Это то, что тоже покорило мою душу!

Einaudi ist in seiner Musik einzigartig. Ich spiele seine Stücke sehr gerne, die sind zwar oft anstrengend weil soo lang, aber ich muss nicht Monate üben. Und er hat seinen Stil bewahrt, natürlich in Verbindung mit anderen Instrumenten noch besser anzuhören

I'm curious, what is your favorite piece? Is there a video of it on the channel yet?

ive been playing paino for about 10 years now (im 14) and over time i kinda shied away from the piano cus i didnt wanna be seen as "weird" by ppl at school. you dont see many 14 year olds who listen to classical music and have favourite pianists and composers lmaoo. but its pieces like these and pianists like einaudi which remind me how powerful one instrument can be, and just how lucky i am to be able to play it. the fact that you can imagine a whole story in your head and almost create a narrative for yourself from a song that doesnt have any lyrics has always blown my mind. the piano has always been a part of my life, i couldnt imagine myself without my horribly out of tune, sounds like a dying cat, older than my great grandmother piano. ive met loads of ppl on social media who, like me, havent fully expressed their love for music because of other peoples opinions. and if you see this, its a sign to say, go. go and babble to your friends about ludovico einaudi and franz liszt about how insane they are. go spend your time fulfilling your dream to be what you wanna be. go and sit at the piano for hours on end just to hear each key make its unique sound and get blown away by it every time. because no one else can take away or fuel your own love for music, a love thats rewarding and expressive. music is art, anyone who says otherwise is wrong. music is expression, love, hate, words that you cant say, the tears that dried up, the laughter that makes your tummy hurt, its for the lost and the found. no matter what you go through, music will always be there for you. it doesnt matter if your going through the worst thing ever or the best thing ever, theres nothing that music cant guide you through. no one can take music away, not from me and not from you. not from anyone. this cover reminded me exactly that. that music is eternal. thank you, rousseau. seriously, thank you.

Sadly life has no background music

I love how music can make you feel things.

No one: Me looking at my notifications: HE PLAYED W H A T

This hits different when you’re in space

I closed my eyes listening to this masterpiece. My life over the last few years has been hard but people have had it harder. I thought about so many bad experiences and events. This piece opened my eyes when they were closed. To me, this spoke to me about the worst of what I have gone through so far and I'm still looking for clarity. Thank you for performing this.

This is a beautiful piece of piano arts.... One of my favorites thus far after being a piano enthusiast for 2 years 😭😭😭😭

How can a music goes into this feelings disappointment -> rage-> sadness -> emptiness-> acceptance/ contentment

Like a year ago I begged my friend who plays violin to play experience. I wanted to play but I was not a musician at the time. I never gave up. And I started taking piano lessons like three months ago. Ludovico Einaudi gave me a huge inspiration. And during this 3 months I’ve been playing small, short classic musics. And I found out there was going to be a talent show at my school. So I started to learn this masterpiece and it took only 3 days. I got gold medal. EXPERIENCE is the key of my aspiration, passion, inspiration, idk it just gave me the start.

That string instrument in the backround really adds to the feeling in this piece

Absolutely beautiful piece. It brings out so many emotions...🌹

Idk why but this makes me feel safe, sound and calm.

After 10 years searching for the best piano song...i found it😊

Rousseau, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!

Am back in 2024 to clear my mind with this masterpiece

Only God knows what Ludovico was going through while composing this tune

This is my therapy

I started playing at the age of 7, now I'm a teenager, and I have to deal with what life is like: disappointment, stress and in addition you have to make choices. Playing this piece frees me from all the demons that surround me, all the problems, thoughts, and sadnesses that I begin to see, and that are part of life. I will never thank God enough for making music, and Ludovico Einaudi for being the genius of contemporary music ❤️

beautiful song

I honestly thought I would never be able to play this. And here we are, 2 years later, I was right (Credits to Luka Golubovic for commenting this joke)

Me: Man I can't wait until he uploads next monday! Rousseau: *Three months later* Me: 😥

Благодарю ❤️ насладилась просмотром и музыкой!

Truly magical, i love it so much... all emotions are meeting each other, wonderful

this song gives me peace... And listening to it being played on a piano got even better, really this melody is amazing

This song, and how you play it, its absolutely fantastic. Thank you!

Listening to this while closing my eyes and could see my whole life flashing all this good and bad memories and this feels so unreal

Rousseau, I want to tell you something; as an amateur pianist, I really respect and admire the work and effort that you put into making your content. And even then, I still don’t think I realize the amount of effort that you put into what you do. And though you have 3 1/2 million subscribers, I still think you’re underrated. You’re one of my biggest piano inspirations, especially in the classical genre. If it wasn’t for you, I might not even be playing piano right now. I even watch some of your videos with my family sometimes. You got mad talent. Much love♥️and Merry Christmas to you🎄

Is it just me, or does this composer have a lot of emotions in his song? I mean, when I read the comments, people say they cried, and people told some sad stories like losing their dad. I don't really feel that, I just think it's relaxing and deep.

My brother lost his eye a few days ago and i came upon this song. It just makes me feel calm thank you

That’s what I love about piano pieces like this, a good piano piece says more than any words ever could.
