I'm moderating the comments section once again. Stop posting comments about how the Yoshis are saying something vulgar during the song, or I'll delete them.
Yeah, it's sad. This song means a lot to me, but some bastards from other social media are trying to ruin it for their fetishes and weird stuff they like. It's unfair, this whole game was made with so much love
The innocence and purity of this song is sad and depressing to me. Because i now know what a evil world this is, and the thought that most of us started out this innocent and then became corrupted and learned too much. We grew up and lost our innocence and purity.
Guess that's why I hear be thankful from the yoshis, we need to be thankful we had our childhood, so we can Cherish our memories, because we know the scary truth about the world once we grow older, so be thankful for the time of innocence we had
As I was listening to this song, my mom had walked into my room and was about to tell me something, and stop to listen to this song. She then proceeds to say Mom: "Es el Yoshi?" Which in Spanish means "Is that Yoshi?" This goes to show how much I played this during my childhood and 20 years later, my mom still recognizes this song. That was a true blow to my feels.
This song actually brings tears to my eyes. YOSHI goes through with all this only because he and the other Yoshis want to be happy. That's it. For me, it's not that easy to be happy sometimes
It's completely normal to cry at this...Not only does it probably remind you of your childhoods, but the composer used a lot of 7th chords in this and they also alternate between major and minor throughout the whole piece, creating a "bittersweet" effect.
+Tapu Kek it's not hard. Just listen to the chords. Fourth note being two halfsteps down from the first note in a chord is a 7th, one halfstep down is a major 7th, the second note in a chord being 4 halfsteps up is a major chord, 3 halfsteps is a minor chord. Any chord that skips the second note and just has the first and 3rd note is a power chord, which is typical with rock, punk, etc. It's pretty easy to recognize the distinct chords if you know how to write music. Each type of chord has its own distinct sound, and knowing it is crucial, in addition to the desired instruments to giving your music the desired feeling you want it to. All minor chords give the same effect as each other, the only difference being what note they're in, all major chords same deal, 7ths and major 7ths, etc. Example of a Cmaj7 is in John Lennon's hit song "Imagine". If you try to play it on a piano, you should recognize it. C, Cmaj7, F.
This wasnt in my childhood but i remember how i loved yoshi with all my heart and now hearing this song made me love him more and it makes me remember the fun times me and my mom had while playing games related to him as she also grew up with him as well :D
+LUCAS KOBRA AGAIN WITH THESE COMMENTS! :,( I saw this in fi's farewell, and lumas song videos and NOW THIS video!!! stop it.....your gonna make me cry again.... :,(
In the 3rd grade, one of my best friends were moving away to Florida during spring break. We said goodbye to each other for the last time and on the drive home this song was playing in my head. It made me really sad. I think I cried. I hope he’s doing okay.
God dammit I knew I'd find this type of comment. You know another guy who's been here longer than Iwata passed away too and he made Nintendo how it is today, and I never see a single Yamauchi comment, just a billoion fucking Iwata comments?? God fucking damn it.
@@misterartist1603 look i know where ur coming from but man was that comment really necessary? people were paying their respects to a man who at that point had JUST died, not to mention they probably didn't grow up with yamauchi and instead grew up with iwata, like me. it isnt a lack of acknowledgement but those people probably didnt know who he was or is yamauchi deserves to be respected but the point is let ppl pay their respects to whoever they want to
Who'd have thought that an entry-level video game, designed for children and beginners, would have such an immense effect on Nintendo's flagship franchise?
This song’s gonna play at my funeral someday; it’ll be the ending of another story. This game was special to me as a kid as it was my first, and I still cherish it today at 25
Everything about this song just screams long-lost childhood to me... For starters, the recorder reminds me of a child playing and accoustic guitar is, at least in my country, a very common instrument used at elementary school. Then we have the yoshis' singing, which is relatively dissonant, but dissonant in a highly charming way reminiscent of a group of young children singing. The glockenspiel at the end along with the ritardando and with the book closing feels like your mother just read you a bedtime story and you're slowly falling asleep, already looking forward to the next day. To top it all off, the chords played by the guitar keep alternating between major and minor and there are many 7(9) chords and diminished chords among them, making for a extremely bittersweet feeling. No wonder many of us get emotional listening to this, especially if this was part of our childhood. The composer knew exactly what he was doing here. This game has a truly underrated soundtrack in my opinion. Also, I'm reading way too much into this.
I’m 34 and 😭🤧. My husband just put this on his Switch and I was playing last night and beat the stage. He heard the Yoshi sounds and heard the Yoshis singing this and he commented that this was the cutest song. I’m pregnant with my first and they said they said the baby might have Trisomy. I really hope not, I always thought I’d play Yoshi’s Story with my baby. I’ll be using several Yoshi tracks to rock him to sleep.
It’s been one year, hope everything is ok, God bless you and your son, I really hope you will be a great mother and your husband a great father, hope you the best.
Sabes es algo 😥 😢 triste que 😔 no puedas volver a esa época donde eras muy feliz con esos juegos 🎮 💔 que marcaron tu infancia 🙏 espero que cuando ya aya personas adultas no olviden toda esta felicidad que alguna vez tuvieron en sus manos ✋️ y en su corazón ❤️ 💕
Was randomly listening to some old video game music when this song came up in the side bar. Clicked on it and was enjoying how soothing this piece was and remembering the game. All of a sudden 1:55 hit and the little Yoshies started to sing and... I have no idea why but I just started to cry. Not sobbing with sadness or anything but the tears just started to flow and they wouldn't stop and I was smiling the whole time as well. Every now and again I come back and listen to this piece and have a good cry, I know how weird that sounds but it just has that effect on me and it actually leaves me feeling pretty good afterwards.
As the funeral is over this song starts to play as people start to walk out the aisle and your casket is being taken to the car to be driven to the cemetery
i like to imagine K.K. Slider playing the guitar, a few yoshis standing there and singing this, pikachu and kirby hopping around on the drums and link playing the ocarina/flute in this. on iwata's funeral...
"And in the end it came to pass, the super happy tree was found at last. The Yoshis had broken Bowsers spell--a tale for all the isle to tell. And the Yoshi’s lived happily ever after."
Lyrics 0:18 We, have had fun all the way, But it’s time to say. Goodbye, Farewell, See you later, So Long, Thank You, Until Then. Thank you for all you, have done! 0:52 Thanking you, yes you right there, Coming to our aid. Wouldn’t have got-ten our tree back, If it wasn’t, for this guy. So we owe this song, to you! 1:18 We’ve won the game, With all, your help. We have, earned back, Our happy tree! 1:43 With, the tree grasped in our hands, We, return to our home! 1:55 Thank You, so much, For all, your help! Coul-dn’t have done, It with-out you! 2:16 We owe, this song, Especially. To the, player, That helped us through! 2:38 We owe, you one, Here is, to you, With tree, in hand, We head for home! 2:57 Now comes, the time, To say, goodbye Farewell, old friend, We’ll see, you soon! 3:29 Thank, you for playing, Our fun game, See you real soon!
This song drives me to those tomes when I was a happy child 17 years ago. I remember I received this videogame for Christmas in 1998. Good old times that will never come back. I am now crying now. Such bittersweet memories that will never come back again. I got chills when I listened to it again. Thanks for posting this.
kurtbeck88 same here bro. i am 26 years old and I was 7 years old when i got this game with diddy kong racing and bomber man 64 in my country El salvador. there are only memories now. our chilhood in the 90s were the best playing these games, something that kids now days wont experience.
Yo nací en el 98 pero jugué super nintendo poco pero el que si juegue mucho fue el 64 y me da nostalgia porque recuerdo cuando me lo acabe y me quedé escuchando toda la canción y viendo todo lo que pasaba en la tele chale yo no seré de su generación pero si experimente estos juegos
My father bought this game for me on my 11th birthday back in June 1998. When I first heard this song, it made me tear up a bit because of how sad but melancholic and uplifting. Now 23 years later, I can't listen to this song without tearing up with tears of joy of how the Yoshi's are happy they got their fruit tree back. This is the kind of music you can read through your old photo album of you or your children and family cry tears of joys reminiscing about the good old days of your childhood innocence.
As a kid, I always heard "We fell in love" which made sense to me because the game had a lot of elements of love. But from when I was seven to this day, I still shed tears of joy! I love this game so much!
Oh my gosh... I remember well over 10 years ago I first played this game and got to the end and BALLED my eyes out at this song! My older sister thought it was hilarious. Even now, at almost 20 years old, I feel like crying listening to this.
as a child I could never allow myself to finish a playthrough with any yoshi dead, because if you die with a yoshi in this game that color yoshi wont be there dancing on the last page ):
Brawl Brstms3 X Has died... so I am here to revive a certain comment by James Reid that was in End Credits Music Brawl himself posted. It was a little more recent, but it’s the reason why I love Yoshi so much. Here is James Reid’s work: I think I have an idea on how to make this song even more touching... "Imagine this. From the moment their life begins, every Yoshi has a deep desire for eternal peace instilled in them. It’s like a hereditary instinct for them, always looking for a chance to brighten an otherwise dark world however they can, from battling the forces of evil, to reuniting babies with families. At the root of it all, their motives for any action revolve around one thing: All living being’s need for love. My personal head-canon for this game is that the Super Happy Tree is a physical embodiment of Yoshi’s natural desire to spread love. Furthermore, the Yoshi vocalizations are a phrase sung in their native tongue. It translates...to ‘True Harmony.’ Love can’t reign in a world full of hatred and fear. Thus, this song is a testament to how much every person needs love in their lives. And now... the lyrics... They start at the 0:18 Mark: From the moment life begins To the day it ends There is something That we all need Something on which Life depends: To be close to caring friends. If you struggle with your life We know where to start You may not know That the answer Is your beating Inner art: It’s all found within your heart. All people need To plant the seed For harmony For you and me If we want to set things right, we Drown the darkness with our light. *Chorus* True Harmony (4x) *Chorus plays four times* “ This comment was my life changer. I just had to put it here since Brawl is officially gone. Miss you Brawl, you were my savior! James Reid is also amazing for his work!
This song just reminds me of how much happier I was as a kid. How pure I was playing this game. I wish I could have spent an eternity as the little 6 year old boy I was. Why did I have to go and grow up? In any case, there’s some kid out there right now enjoying their 6 years of happiness. I hope they don’t take the time for granite and will be able to look back and be as happy about their childhood as I do.
Did you know? Nintendo has made a Nintendo land remix of it, it's called Yoshi's fruit cart: Night stages, go check it out if you enjoy it. But yes this theme made me cry for the first time listening to it at night, I couldn't stop crying but it's just so beautiful
Okay the part where the Yoshi's start signing at 1:55 was the most adorable thing I've ever heard. I actually started crying, I'm 16 and I never even played this game but this sounds amazing. I was literally like "I'm actually f***ing crying omg" it was the cutest thing I've ever heard. Also funny thing, I've actually only played one Yoshi game which was Yoshi's New Island for the 3DS, I loved that game as a kid I even 100% completed it, but for someone reason many people disliked it which was really upsetting to me because I loved that game as a kid, it was fun to play and I liked the music and if younger me was willing to sit there and 100% complete the game then I definitely loved it.
A song so nostalgic that bro will cry even after being dead? Actually, this song is the perfect "look back on the story and be sad that it's over but happy it happened," so this time, that checks out.
My brother played this game and tells me that the ending is just perfect and wholesome. Its true, what a cruel world we have, but this captures innocence and happiness.
This song was a huge part of what led me to realize that I didn't appreciate this game enough. It has become far and away my favorite song from any video game ever. It helped get me through this past summer, which was an ugly 3 months. I love how this song and this game heavily symbolize happiness. I will likely be playing the game again this weekend. Such great times, those used to be...
Timeless masterpiece. Great and simple game. No need for extra expensive console or a whole orchestra to make this a great song. This game comes with great nostalgia. Very fun to play. Can listen to this over and over again.
When I was a Kid I used to play this Game at Home with My family. Right now like 20 years appart from those days I left Home, Lost My family and end up alone. When I heard this. Something broke, and I am literally sobbing right now. People. Tell your family and real Friends how much You love them. Time never comes back hug them. Be kind.
This song reminds me of what it was like moving on from childhood to being an adult, and letting go of the fact that you might never be as happy as you were sitting on your floor at 12 playing Yoshi’s story in your dark room only light up by the vibrant colors of the screen. You know you don’t have to worry about waking up for your job or school, you forgot all the homework you had over the weekend. For a brief period of time you forget being scared, forget all the fighting the yelling and not wanting to leave school. And it’s all because good o’l Yoshi’s gonna be waiting for you and he won’t hurt you, its the only time you feel safe. The beginning is so vibrant and full of life. You can hear the birds chirping and the wind blowing in the trees and then the guitar starts to play. The guitar starts off slow and as background noise so it doesn’t startle you while you’re still in the meadows. It only starts to pick up pace when it’s time to move on, time to flip the last page of Yoshi’s story. The Guitar is leading you towards the end of the game, wishing you farewell and thanking you for playing while reminding you this is the end of our beautiful journey. The recorder is like the memories flying past you cheering you on so you won’t be sad it’s saying “FINISH STRONG” you’re almost there. And then the big man himself, Yoshi. Yoshi and all his friends are there to say goodbye.
I had a dog I really loved growing up. I liked to think Kiki was yoshi and I was Mario. This song is in a playlist that makes me think of her and thanks to her I probably am the person I am today. I got a new puppy a year ago and I named him Yoshi.
This song brings tears to my eyes. I can actually feel the warmth and happiness from it. These newer games have nothing on these older games. These games had real heart...
Man who would’ve thought that years later I would be showing my kids this song telling them this is what I used to jam out too 😅. The nostalgia….how life was so simple as a kid! 🥲🥲🥲
At 3:00 of the song, that’s where I started to cry. 🥹🥲 Declaring that this is the happiest game that Nintendo has ever made. It touched my heart ❤️ and made it happy 🙂 just like the one on the tree in the game.
Once I beat this game, I was more than satisfied to know the end was there, with a memorable music track waiting for me that told me that the worst has finally been passed and I've made it to the end...finally. And all this over some tree. A Fruity, Hearty Tree with fruits galore, but if Baby Bowser wanted that, he could have asked his minions to grow him some. But like a pesky, snotty, selfish, brat. He just had to do things his way. And he got spanked for it.
I remember the first time I beat this game. I can honestly say this is the first game to make me smile. Like, I actually felt EMOTION while playing it. Everything else, I'm sort of a robot, but this.... Wow. I miss Yoshi's story so much sometimes.
