Nostalgic Minecraft Music with Cool Instruments 

I love it how it can be a good while of silence when playing, but then the music starts out of nowhere and it manages to feel like the most serene and emotional tune you've heard.

I love how theres no cuts between instruments. He just flawlessly goes between each one and performs with no mistakes

This video made me experience nostalgia, sadness, happiness, inner peace, fear of death and absolute relaxation.

I love how every track made by C418 is perfectly recognizable

I remember playing Minecraft, hearing the music and going, “oh shoot, is the sun setting?” The music used to start at intervals during the day. Morning, noon, evening, and midnight, I believe. It was a kind reminder to check the time. Edit: I JUST LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID, AND I QUOTE, “A random track is selected *at sunrise, sunset, noon, and midnight.* “ NO IT IS NOT FREAKING RANDOM. STOP LYING TO PEOPLE.

We absolutely NEED a full Aria Math cover, that was too good

When I was a pre-K teacher, I would often play all minecraft music on a loop in the class (minus the nether music for obvious reasons) and the entire atmosphere of the classroom would be much calmer than the other classrooms. Naptime was also easier. I cant stand the classic lullabies and it gets really old, and the kids never really responded to it, but C418's minecraft music worked magic. When it was time for dancing, I would play the jukebox discs and they especially loved Strad which ironically is my favorite of the discs. Anyways, the handpans for Aria Math was beautiful as it is my absolute favorite of all soundtracks. Masterfully played, dude.

I like how the music actually sounds peaceful with the instruments used

The fact that a lot of us haven't played Minecraft in so many years yet we still recognise each song really shows how good Minecraft music is.

Im convinced it's impossible to listen to this without becoming immediately relaxed.

Man, being an instrument lover myself, it is actually really satisfying and exhilarating to see the instruments behind the songs I've listened to for almost a decade

no nonsense. no long-winded explanations. no sponsors, no clickbait. three minutes. simple, clean, beautiful. minecraft music with cool instruments exactly as promised edit: never said sponsors were bad. just appreciated the simplicity here. saying something is good does not equal saying all other things are bad. the ability of youtube to turn any comment into a vicious argument is unmatched by literally any social media i have ever seen and it is embarrassing. keep it civil in my notifications i didn't ask for this

I feel like the reason why Minecraft's music is still a treasure too hold is because it didn't use common instruments, it used uncommon but such beautiful instruments, but when Minecraft's new version of their game got released it lost that beauty within the music.. I miss old Minecraft music.

in the next 20 years or less some kids won’t have ever known this amazing feel of this music

Your first block Your first dirt hut Your first portal Your first survival base Your first diamons pickaxe Your first dragon egg Its somewhere, lost, lost in the millions of forgotten minecraft worlds

Somehow he portraits all feelings and emotions from this songs using just percussion... A year ago I did never knew I'm gonna love percussion more than everything else. True skill and talent, thanks Joe. As always fantastic!

*_Songlist:_* 0:00 Aria Math (Handpans) 0:17 Title Theme (Aquarion) 0:36 Sweden (Steel Tongue Drum) 1:05 Subwoofer Lullaby (Vibraphone) 1:48 Haggstrom (Kalimba & Glockenspiel) 2:17 Wet Hands (Marimba) Every single one of these was beautiful! Minecraft music is just made for videos like this!

I love how almost all of the original mc songs sound different and yet so similar at the same time

Man, I'm tearing up. Life used to be so different back then. Though it might be an old video, thank you for taking your time to make this video, Joe.

Oh man. I'm emotional. I remember building a little dirt home with my hubby the first time we played. We were so excited by every new discovery in the game. We learned so much about Minecraft and traveled our little world. We would set up a home and then gather supplies to see what was beyond the mountains, it was so fun. It was our bonding time once we put the little ones to sleep. As our kids grew up and took an interest in videogames, we gave them controls and they joined our world. We would run around and hunt and grow food, build towns and explore caves, searching for diamonds. I love this little game ☺️ EDIT: You're all so sweet 🤗 It's funny that I was playing Minecraft with one of my boys when I got a notification that I had some replies. You're all so kind and Im glad I was able to bring a bit of happiness to you. I have so many stories about videogames but I think I'd be here all day 😅 Please take care of yourselves and remember to enjoy the little things in life, lots of hugs for everyone! 🤗☺️

The fact that he used the exact instruments for almost all of them and it's so accurate so it sounds exactly like the actual song just makes me so unbelievably happy. I love the minecraft music

Me and my best friend loved playing this game and we would stay up to midnight playing together. I remember a time when one of these songs came on and it was one of the best moments of my childhood.

The choice of instruments was very spot on. I wish you have full versions of this.

I'm mostly impressed he played every one perfectly in one take

Most of the classic Minecraft music sound like the little crib musicals you listened to as a baby to fall asleep. Maybe thats why it feels nostalgic/peaceful to listen. Its proof that music can make you feel and remember long forgotten memories.

Almost every one of C418s music is a god damn masterpiece it’s insane

1:05 only Minecraft lover can feel nostalgia ❤❤

Minecraft’s music is already so beautiful and this just sends shivers down my spine

We can all agree that C418 is a musical genius and mastermind, right?

0:57 was dark

0:26 my favorite background music.

These are the sounds of our childhood. Hearing these makes me sad about the memories I once had with friends I no longer have, the all nighters I would pull on split screen, in a dark room. It’s sad that these memories no longer live in reality but whenever I hear one of these songs I immediately close my eyes and tilt my head backwards. It was truly simpler back then. No worries about girls, peer pressure, school, maintaining toxic relationships, or the inevitable realization of growing up. The only question we had to answer was what to name our tamed wolf. (Thanks for the likes, luv you guys🥺)

This already sounds like pure nostalgia to me and Minecraft’s still a fairly recent game. I imagine I’m just gonna start crying if I ever hear it in the far future

The nostalgia and how they bring back the good old memories

This guy needs more credit than he gets this instruments are insanely hard to play let alone memorize what notes he needs to play it’s amazing 🤩

This hits me with… so much nostalgia for classic (pre-infinite) creative from over a decade ago. I loved how you just… happily declared each instrument before playing it. Lovely playing!

In my eyes, or more like ears, most of minecraft’s songs are only the happy type of nostalgic because we associate good times with the music. I think they portray a clear tune of loneliness. In some it’s a peaceful kind while in others it’s sad and, well, lonely. Minecraft is just as much a masterpiece of a game as a musical concert

1:03 has brought my childhood memories back😢

all the instruments fit soo well for all the Minecraft music

Every beat of every rhythm feels like all of my old Minecraft memories flooding back to me… And it makes me feel… happy

thats really cool, almost as if C418 legit picked every emotionally expressive percussion instrument he knew and wrote something peaceful with it

The accuracy from the kalimba sound. And obviously the nostalgia from every song. I’m at peace

Videos like this remind me how much I love being a percussionist and that more people need to understand that "drums" aren't just the loud rhythm section.

God, subwoofer lullaby just unlocked a major feeling of nostalgia. Genuinely caught my breath. I love how all of these instruments just sound absolutely perfect for each song! It was a journey of memories for me lol

I’ve literally been playing Minecraft for 11 years now and this just sends the memories flooding back, so thank you

Brings childhood memories 😭😆

0:33 goosebumps (almost painfully strong) and tears immediately. thank you

It's always nice to see acoustic instruments replace synthetic/programmed sounds. A lot of "musicians" have no idea what awesome music a well-developed percussion set is capable of. I'd really like to hear a full-fledged cover of Minecraft's music with a creative use of real instruments. That could make an awesome resource pack!

Subwoofer lullaby always gives me a nostalgic feeling I cannot explain. There's so many memories from 2011 that just flash by when I hear it.

I remember playing songs would just pop up and it would always feel like they come up at specific times. Minecraft would start randomly in the game. Sweden would always start in a clear field or high mountains. Subwoofer lullaby would start at sun rising. Sometimes before or after rain. Haggstron would start during the rain or thunder storm. Wet hands would always start sun set.

Aria Math: I'm building a house in one of my first minecraft world. Me and my dad would take turns building it. We added 2 floors and a ledge to keep spiders away. Title Theme: Playing minecraft peacefully. I wasn't really sure how to play, I just wandered around, making friends with chickens and sheep. Sweden: I sort of knew how to play. I loved building houses in creative mode, and I had just discovered you could fly, playing in a spaceship world. Subwoofer Lullaby: This one brings tears to my eyes. I had just gotten a nintendo switch, I had been playing on Xbox One. I played spleef and elytra races in multiplayer, and tried out the halloween world. There's way more nostalgic details, but I can't write it all. Haggstromm: I loved playing the tutorial world made by minecraft. This was the one of the first things I did, It taught me how to mine blocks, how to build a shelter, How to cook with a furnace, how to craft. I learned how to fly with an elytra, how to shoot fireworks, and so much stuff. Wet Hands: I was pretty good at this point. I had a pet dog named fluffy, and I made him a garden. Stampy and DanTDM were the first youtube creators I had ever watched, and they formed most of my childhood, and introduced me to minecraft. I made many worlds in dedication to them because I loved their videos so much. I even had a minecraft cake for my birthday when I turned seven, and sent it to stampy, hoping I would get added to his love garden, but I never did. They are still idols in my life to this day. There's so much nostalgia that walks with me to this day of playing minecraft, not even knowing those were the good old days.

Love the Aria Math one, it sounded exactly like the original. I absolutely love these. It would be very interesting to hear more creative tracks in the future

these sounds are hitting me more than anything in life has. as it should.

Most relaxing music ever 😴

Haggstorm sounded almost exactly the same as the original music😅 PS. Great skill!❤❤ love the way you play

God, Minecraft music has that magic nostalgia that makes me wish I was young again and I was playing in that one Skyblock world with my siblings, or building that one huge structure in Superflat, or messing with slimestone mechanics in a 'Redstone Ready' world and accidentally nuking it all, or anything like that. There was always something so special about Xbox 360 Minecraft thats slowly been slipping away from 'Bedrock', but is still in Java for some reason to me.

I LOVE how nostalgic the Minecraft music is. Makes me remember the old days of 2015 and the hype exploding! Playing with friends, and having a good time. Thanks for bringing that back @Joe Porter

I think its cool how Minecraft, the game of creativity, uses the most interesting, unique, and plain creative instruments for they're soundtrack.

YEAH! NOW I NEED FULL COVER OF ALL MINECRAFT MUSIC

Holy moly, finally someone _actually_ played Aria Math on the hang drums and didn't just title the video "Minecraft music cover" while playing completely random notes instead. And not only that, a bunch of the other best tunes in the game on other great instruments as well!! This was a treat, thank you for this 🌟

The most impressive part is how this is done in one take.

This unlocked much memories

I love how this shows the simplicity of the music whst presenting its beauty.

I still maintain that C418’s volume alpha is one of the greatest collections of music to ever be created. Also damn you’re talented.

Soothing to hear Minecraft’s soundtrack played on the instruments! Thanks for your hard work and teaching people about new instruments they might have not known about or didn’t know the name of and whatnot It teaches me a lot about percussion instruments for sure

I am listening to this on my bed,just remembering the good old times😢

普段何気なく聞いてるけど、やっぱマイクラのBGMって良いなぁ…！！ 涙出てくる…

i love how he doesn't stop the music at a random point to move on to the next one, he chose the perfect time to stop while adding a finishing sound, sooo good, I reached 102% satisfaction

As a Pianist, I love watching videos like this and trying to piece together how the piano theory has been shaped and changed to fit each instrument. The marimba is built similar to a piano with its keys, the hand pans have all the notes but they are in different places, and the kalimba notes go back and forth in a ending/descending order. Fascinating!!

I cried It's so nostalgic

Aquarian is my favorite one!

I would kill to hear these songs for the first time again.

I hope no one minds me making timecodes. 0:00 *Aria Math* on _Handpands_ 0:15 *Minecraft* on _Aquarion_ 0:33 *Sweden* on _Steel Tongue Drum_ 1:04 *Subwoofer Lullaby* on _Vibraphone_ 1:44 *Haggstrom* on _Kalimba_ and _Glockenspiel_ 2:14 *Wet Hands* on _Marimba_

im crying... we never know how good a moment is in your life until you realize you cant go back

The first block you placed The first house you made The first cave you mined The first nether you made The first end you saved The first dog you tamed The first diamonds you mined The first villager trade The first world you made Is all there, somewhere "A Message to all Future Generations" Nostalgia 😥😥

I love how these songs take you back to a place and time in your life as soon as you hear them :)

I really loved that Aquarion, I've never seen that before. And the steel tongue drum was the perfect choice for Sweden.

the fact that i can still hum along to these melodies after so long really means something

This brings me back to the days when I used to play on the Xbox 360, and when used to have the fun tutorial that you couldn’t get out of the little box until you complete the tutorial, which was very fun

Ever since we missed the important figure in minecraft, I’ve been listening to the the minecraft music non-stop. Thank you Joe for covering them, your musical talent never ceases to amaze me and fill me with nostalgia.

Every time i see that Joe has created another video, my day immediately gets 10x better

1:05 Subwoofer Lullaby hits hard ngl.

this minecraft music brings all those old memories back. so nostalgic.

The hand pans are the perfect instrument for aria math, I couldn't believe how good they sounded in the first video you did and I still can't believe how good they sound now

God the lullaby just makes me feel like im back in 2012 and 2013 playing minecraft on pc and pe such nostalgia

0:33 the most beautiful Minecraft song in the world

That's enough to make a man cry 😢😢

Thank you for making this one a bit longer than the others, I really appreciate it, and I bet so many others did since a lot of us were asking for minecraft music all the time you performed one in a video

Haggstorm on Kalimba always give me the "Nostalgia Goosebump". Really loving the videos Mr Porter and thank you so much for making it :)

The sadness of an era lost to time hits harder in my heart With each song and instrument

"It's just a silly block pixel game, don't do anything to crazy." C418:

It’s hard to listen to Minecraft music from my childhood because it makes my heart sink with so many memories and so much saddens that it’s gone. But theirs still things in the future to look forward too.

Ok but- If this guy did full on covers of these songs like this- I'd be happy beyond words-

Brings back memories 😊🥹😭

So nostalgic the old music😢

Not sure if it's the intense nostalgia or what, but for some reason hearing all these almost made me tear up. Some of the best sounding covers of these I've ever heard. Incredible job as always. (Ps it would be sick if you did a full cover of one sometime. This aria math and the otherside from a few months ago were beautiful)

Minecraft music has such emotion and feeling, and he captures it so perfectly on percussion. How do you learn all of it by ear?!? Such talent you have mister. I applaud thee

The 5th one that makes me cry because it’s the old Minecraft music😢

*me and boi's chillin' at 3 am :*
