Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - Main Theme (Piano Version) 

"The story that I want to tell you cannot be found in a book. They say the history of the West was written from the saddle of a horse, but it's never been told from the heart of one. Not till now. I was born here, in this place that would come to be called the old West. But to my kind, the land was ageless. It had no beginning and no end, no boundary between Earth and sky. Like the wind in the buffalo grass, we belonged here. We would always belong here. They say the Mustang is the spirit of the West. Whether that West was won or lost in the end, you'll have to decide for yourself. But the story that I want to tell you, is true. I was there, and I remember. I remember the sun and the sky and the wind calling my name, in a time when wild horses ran free."

You know why the music is so incredible? It sounds like freedom, like running free with no boundaries. It sounds like the wind feels when you run with it. Like standing at the edge of the Earth and feeling like you can fly. And you can. You can fly like an eagle. You can fly like Spirit.

Patrik, this one is particularly touching because you managed to perfectly mix two of my favorite pieces of this film. Thank you for taking me back in time ♡

This song brings back fond memories

Amazing. I Just love how you play. ❤️

I love your arrangements and absolutely jumped at the chance to own your arrangement of this music! I'm currently working on this piece, and I gotta say... You are a MUCH better pianist than I am, but your music makes me strive to be better!

It was my favorite movie growing up, and hearing this made me stop from what I was doing... Hands up my man, huge respect on playing it hope you get more subscribers in the future.

Spirit has always been one of my all time favorite movies as a kid and even now, I love seeing people still enjoying such a wonderful movie! Your piano playing is lovely! Im happy for the yt recommendation.

Omg danke danke dankee!!🥺😍💖 Dieser Film und seine Musik bedeuten mir so viel und ich habe bisher nie eine Klavier Version davon gefunden, die dem Film gerecht wird - bis jetzt! Dankee😍 Es ist soo unglaublich schön und bringt so viele Erinnerungen wieder hoch. Mir kamen wirklich die Tränen beim Zuhören. Ich möchte das unbedingt auch lernen😍 Ich kann mich auch nur immer wiederholen: Du bist wirklich der beste Pianist den ich kenne und ich habe bisher noch niemanden gefunden der Filmmusik so gut auf dem Klavier umsetzten kann wie du, weil bei dir immer die ganze tiefe aus diesen tollen Stücken erhalten bleibt, obwohl es nur ein Instrument alleine spielt! Das ist echt der Hammer. Meine Mutter hatte sogar schon Tränen in den Augen als sie nur gehört hat, dass du eine Klavier Version von Spirit gemacht hast, weil uns der Film so viel bedeutet und du es immer schaffst die Musik so zu spielen, dass alle Gefühle, die die Musik rüberbringen soll auch darin sind und auch diesmal hast du uns nicht enttäuscht 😁🥰 Dank deinen Videos kann ich auch lernen diese Stücke zu spielen und kann dann meine Familie damit glücklich machen. Danke 😍💖

Как всегда круто, хоть и затянуто))

Вспомнил и прослезился ...

Hans Zimmer really has the greatest theme songs!

Make „the distruction of hometree - James Horner (AVATAR)“ 😍

I was wondering why I loved this masterpiece of music because I thought it was written by Bryan Adams. But now I know why, it's cause this art was created by my faverouite movie music maker, Hanz Zimmer himself🥰

Jamie believe rise of the guardians piano?

Honestly, being a movie with so little dialogue, Spirit really relied heavily on its music. The fact that you were able to catch so much of the story in this cover is really incredible

Make „the distruction of hometree - James Horner (AVATAR)“ 😍

Pietschmann: Uploads Me: Finally, inner peace.

"In the days when wild horses... were FREE"

Honestly, this movie sticks out in my mind because of it's beautiful music. Thank you for capturing that magic ❤️

I just got hit with the biggest wave of nostalgia, Spirit was the only movie I had as a child due to how expansive and hard movies were to get, I watched it over and over again, this video got me right in the feels. Thank you so much

One of my childhood movies! Really brings back memories!!

It never really occurred to me before, but no matter how hectic the theme becomes, there's still hints of the Homeland theme. Spirit never stops wanting and actively trying to get home, no matter what's happening around him.

Soo much nostalgia in 9 minutes.

Now that you’ve done Spirit, I’d just about die from happiness if you went on to arrange a cover for The Prince of Egypt- one of the best animated films of all time.

Thank you 😭😭❤️

I am utterly speechless. I think I suggested this cover on almost every video u posted in the past year, and here you are delivering in a way I didn’t even dare to hope for. Homeland and Run Free are two incredibly uplifting and touching compositions and you have done the great Hans Zimmer justice once again. Tears to my eyes as my heart filled with pure happiness and nostalgia. Thank you so much, Patrik.

If I see another SimplyPiano ad, I’m going to commit a hate crime

He's a legend. The way his hands just flows smoothly like water over the keyboard. You can feel the feelings of this song through every note

awesome, I was listening to these "Spirit, stalion . . ." soundtracks whole week and I was just hoping that one day you will do some epic cover. And here we are! It's awesome. Thanks

This is the reason why i started taking piano lessons. I haven't looked back ever since. Thank you so much Patrick

Thank you so much Patrik!! This is not only a part of the childhood of literally everyone, it is also beautiful music, and Hans Zimmer x Patrik Pietschmann, can it get any better?

YEAH WE FINALLY GOT SPIRIT! And it's 9 minutes long! 🙂 A couple of requests that I'd love to hear: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly/Ecstacy of Gold The Dragon Prince OST (Was nominated for an Oscar in 2020) The Terminator La La Land The Hunger Games- Horn of Plenty “See You Tomorrow” and/or “This is Berk” from How to Train Your Dragon

Ahhh I’ve wanted to play this forever but couldn’t find a good version, thanks so much for doing this!

There’s so many videos I’ve rewatched COUNTLESS times because of how good they are. You’re literally the reason why I’m saving to get a piano now, I wanna be able to do somewhat what you can do.

wow finally. Huhu. Normally I would ask you to arrange ... But today i am just saying thank you!

I cannot even begin to explain how happy I was when I saw this notification. This is the most excited I’ve been for one of your videos since your Star award stuff. And this cover is awesome. This was one of my favorite childhood movies, and still has one of my favorite Hans Zimmer scores. This might be my favorite thing to play when I sit at the piano.

This was my favorite childhood movie. Seriously, I watched it maybe over 100 times all the way through. Amid a turbulent childhood, it was one of my favorite memories. I even plan on getting a spirit tattoo :). Thank you SO much for this, I truly loved every second. It brought tears and laughter to my face.

I cried the moment you played the first notes of this masterpiece. Truly a wonderful soundtrack for a wonderful movie. Brings me to tears everytime since I was a child ❤

And so I grew, from colt to stallion, as wild and reckless as thunder over the land. Racing with the Eagle, soaring with the wind. Flying? There were times I believed I could.

Still the best animation for me. This is so Nostalgic and so beautiful .T_T. I'm not crying *sniff * you are

This movie has one of the most powerful soundtracks. Thank you so much for creating this!!

Petition for Patrik to do Monsters Inc theme (like so he can see)

There is some sort of charming vibe whenever you arrange Hans Zimmer's music and keep it up Patrik , you will definitely achieve much greater

Jesus loves you!!

Since Spirit is my favorite childhood movie, I'll definitely be playing this on loop for a long time. Thanks for such an amazing upload. A marvelous blast from the past.

You're honestly brilliant man. Keep on going dude, I'm sure everyone appreciates what you do. Thank you, Patrik!❤️

Biggest error in movie is Spirit should not have had a narrator for him. No dialogue. Didn't need it, outside of maybe, OH YEAH(at the jump). Perfect use of music and sound in movie. There was no need for him to talk

Absolute chills ❤, 10th time listening to it this week and I am still getting chills.

I've knew Hans Zimmer hearing this songs. So emotional, my heart broke on every scene played.

This is the one... I have tried to learn many of your songs before but this one spoke to me. Your playing is the best I've ever seen. I hope to get to your level of playing someday

1 hour after publication, and this video have 0 dislikes It`s record, guys!

What if Patrik did Deliver Us from Prince of Egypt😱

And for 9 mins, everything was okay...

Can you do some of the OSTs from Attack on Titan’s Final Season? Like Ashes on the Fire or the Warhammer Titan Theme?

2:30 is where the fun begins. This makes me wanna run so fast hahaha

YES! Finally an arrangement of the Spirit Soundtrack! And such a good one, I had goosebumps all over my body. It's incredible. I heard the music and had the scenes in front of me like I was watching the movie.

I have always loved this movie ever since the first time I watched it. I think I have now watched it around 30 times. And I am only 13 years old. I have memorized all the songs and when they play I picture the movie in my head. This is a teenager on my mom’s phone

OMG OMG OMG OMG he actually did it😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 amazing

I saw this movie in te theaters when I was 3. My famely always tells me that when the narratior said "In the days when wild horses... were FREE" - and then the music came in a roar and all the horses bursted into the screen - I stood up in my chair, full of exitment, and started Rejoicing like a horse "hiii haaa!!!" some pepole in the audiance didn't like it, but many did... This movie means so much to me. It brings back such good childhood memories... Thank you Patrick!

Love it just wish my grandma could be here to love it with me

Can we please note the fact, that He Played this one take without one Single mistake😳

No way I was just listening to this song this morning and now I get this notification....YES!

Thank you for putting the effort into this! A nine minute performance without any mistakes is no easy feat. I'm sorry that none of your recent videos have hit a million views yet, but hopefully it will change. Meanwhile, we're here to support you! I recently bought the sheet music to Violet Melody and it's so fun to learn. Thanks again!

This song will always made me cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm crying this reminds me of watching this movie everyday for 2 years This movie is my childhood

0 dislikes, the way it should be i wish i could dislike peoples dislikes

Wonder how you are not missing any single note

Your performance was so beautiful and moving - your deep connection to the music was evident in every note!

Could you try something from The Prince of Egypt next? Pweeze! PS, The Plagues, Deliver us, Playing With the Big Boys, ........ Pretty much any song now that I think about it would be pretty awesome!

Hallo Patrik, ich möchte dir danken, dass du uns so viele tolle stücke zeigst. Wegen dir habe ich meine liebsten Stücke entdeckt und sie nach deiner Vorlage auch schöner gemacht. Danke

Yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!! Thank u so much I was waiting for this thank u thank u thank u😭😭😭❤❤❤ this movie came out when my big sister was little. Thank you so much you brought memories to me again..I have tears of joy.

Ich hoffe ich nerve dich mit meinem Vorschlag bzw. Wunsch nicht, den ich schon öfter geäußert habe. Ich würde mich riesig freuen, wenn du dir den Titelsong von "Boondock Saints" mal anhören könntest (eine richtig tolle Irische Melodie). Und zu dem Lied gibt es einfach keine gute Klavier Version, obwohl ich mir sicher bin, dass das super gut umzusetzen wäre und obwohl das recht bekannt ist. Liebe Grüße aus Jena :)

Goodness, I just finished playing your notes after weeks of hard practice just to notice that you play it at least a hundred times faster😂

My freaking childhood omg. Such a gorgeous track and such an uplifting and amazing story, easily one of my favorite movies growing up

Hallo Patrik, ich war hier in den Kommentaren nie wirklich aktiv, möchte mich jetzt aber dennoch mal zu Wort melden. Ich möchte ganz einfach Danke sagen. Danke, für die unglaublich genialen Videos die du uns Monat für Monat bescherst. Es ist wirklich beachtlich, wie man in so kurzen Abständen diese Art von Videos produzieren, und der Community kostenlos zur Verfügung stellen kann. Es ist nicht zu bestreiten, dass du hier auf YT, mit Abstand, die besten Arrangements machst. Diese enthalten in meinen Ohren immer genau die richtige Menge an musikalischen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten und eben trotzdem nicht zu viel Schnickschnack (ich wusste nicht wie ich es anders ausdrücken soll, da ich kein Musikexperte bin ^^). Und dazu kommen natürlich noch diese wahnsinnig schönen und immer passenden Visualisierungen die diesen unverwechselbaren Patrik-Pietschmann-Look bieten. Es ist schon wirklich erstaunlich, was Musik so mit einem machen kann, vor allen Dingen wenn man darüber nachdenkt, dass es sich immer "nur" um ein einziges Instrument handelt. Also nochmal, vielen, vielen Dank für Deine tolle Arbeit Cheers

Honestly this is a MONSTER of a piece. This is truly beyond impressive and also to be able to arrange for piano. I’m blown away… trying to learn it but it’s 18 pages and all those key changes… hopefully I make it through 👍🏼 Hans Zimmer is a legend.

You've never seen the movie? You missed something. It's one of the most beautiful movies I know. ❤️ But please the old film, not the new film version. 😅 Thanks for the beautiful piano performance ❤️

Spirit stallion of the cimmaron really one of my favourite films. As a kid I use to watch it over and over again every single day I know what happens at the beginning to the very end and seeing this brings back memories and so I say well done to the artist who learnt the music to that film.🙂👍😃👍

“I couldn't understand it. She treated this scrawny Two-legged like one of our kind prancing around him like a love-struck yearling. It was downright unnatural.”

It is impressive how Patrik can take the most beautiful music peaces and translate them to the piano.

I’m playing this song when I walk down the aisle 100% 💙💙 my boyfriend loves the songs from spirit and I made him watch it and he absolutely adores it, I told him I want a horse like spirit and rain, and he said I could get a horse just like him and her when we get some property!!! ❤❤

Hans Zimmer composed the music of soo many of my childhood movies and i never knew And Patrik just brings the nostalgia like a frickin' truck, he never fails to deliver keep up the good work Patrik!

New Patrick video = happy day

FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH PATRIK

1:14 :3 Thank you for these beautiful piano pieces. ❤

Bryan Adams + Hans Zimmer = Perfection😍

5:08 É realmente minha parte preferida, Patrick é um gênio, Hans Zimmer tbm, eles são incríveis!! Ele conseguiu transmitir a mesma emoção do filme, q lindooooo Tô na conta do meu pai kkkk

Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Haunting of Hill House, maybe, ever, please?

I hear the wind call your name It calls me back home again It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns Oh, it's to you, I'll always return, yeah I still feel your breath on my skin I hear your voice deep within The sound of my lover, a feeling so strong Oh, it's to you, I'll always belong Now I know it's true, yeah My every road leads to you And in the hour of darkness, darling Your light gets me through Wanna swim in your river Be warm by your sun Bathe in your waters 'Cause you are the one I can't stand the distance I can't dream alone I can't wait to see you Yes, I'm on my way home I'm on my way Oh, I hear the wind call your name The sound that leads me home again It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns Oh, it's to you I will always return Wanna swim in your river Be warm by your sun Bathe in your waters 'Cause you are the one I can't stand the distance I can't dream alone I can't wait to see you 'Cause I'm on my way home Oh, I hear the wind call your name The sound that leads me home again It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns Yeah, I'm on way, I will always return Yes, I will always return I've seen every sunset And with all that I've learned, oh It's to you I will always, always return

Do u think it's possible to play this with a guitar ? I can't find any tab :(

It's always nice to hear you again 😊 Absolutely beautiful arrangement!

the one, the best pianist of youtube. thank you for the upload my friend

Absolutely stunning! Everytime I hear this soundtrack I am reminded how much I love it and why I should listen to it more. Your arrangement does Hans Zimmer justice, like always. You always manage to create full, accurate, and clear arrangements. Again, amazing!

Sound the bugle is also very sad and powerful song

I still love this after so many years, the only animated film that's way too...

Took me a while to remember that the second song was when Spirit escaped from the train leashes and forest fires.

Nostalgic childhood memories unravelling😭❤

Thats fucking it im learning this shit from start to finish
