“Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them from living.”
- Minecraft
Listening to this song and remembering this quote got me thinking and realizing a lot of shit that I think goes about everyone’s life once in a while which is “What’s the point?” But I think that must be exactly what life is you know? There is no point to it but at the same time that doesn’t mean you can’t make it have a point. Just like in Minecraft you create a new world; vast and empty. It has no purpose. No meaning. Just simplicity. Much like life if you look at it through a narrow scope. But then you fill that with people you love. You fill it with laughter, sadness and anger. Then all of a sudden life itself starts to bloom with much more meaning. You realize things that you wouldn’t have had you not thought about it before. Just like at this moment. If you are reading this then that would mean that you and I are alive and breathing at the same time. And strangely a game had brought you and I to meet at this very source. Now it may seem strange really but think about it isn’t that just beautiful? Life as a connection? A way to connect without any wire? It’s strange and meaningless but at the same time it makes it so much more.
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know why I’m still writing this but whoever you are I want you to know that the universe is listening to you. We’re all made of love. So if you’re giving up or questioning things just take a look around once in a while. Your answer is just around you. Your answer is you. Life is just a game made of ones and zeroes.
But you are the player.
Edit: I can’t believe this comment got attention. I wrote this when I was going through a really bad time in my life; I even attempted taking my own life. I wrote this as a way to ground myself. To understand that things are the way they are because it just is but it’s not permanent. I’m sure all of you have had your moments, lost a loved one, felt alone, been rejected, outcasted, ridiculed, etc. I don’t want to lie to you and tell you that it will end. But rather, there will be a time where everything clicks and you’ll find yourself at the bridge of many pathways. And whichever path you choose; you can never go back. If your are young and reading this; live. Don’t stop living. Don’t stop running. Don’t stop laughing. Don’t stop feeling what it means to live. And if you’re older; accept. Accept that life just is. Accept the end will come. Accept that they won’t be the one. Accept they will be the one. Accept that life is magnificent.
But most importantly; hold on to the ones that you know you need to hold on too. At this time, especially in this very divided time, it is important we learn that time is being wasted. Valuable people are being lost. And in doing so, we are becoming lost as well. Be considerate. Be courageous. Be the you that you aspired to be; not what society or people told you to be. You are the only thing that is true and real.
You are all loved. I love you.

It's 5 am and i've just listened to the 2 albums.
Those few hours... i don't remember much. It was just serinety and calmness. It just reminded me of times when I used to have friends... those times when i would come back home from school, turn on an old toshiba laptop that was good enough to run minecraft, login to my skype account and with my friends would play on minecraft servers. It's just this kind of weird fog that covers those memories, being strong, yet vague and that's what brings me the slightest reason to exist anymore. I should thank people who crafted minecraft, including C418. You guys crafted my and many people's childhoods.
Thank you.
@TheEpicTeatime
The fact that he recorded himself playing the piano (you can hear him breathing and humming) makes it so much more human and so much more emotional than if it was just a piano track. Excellent job, C418.
@stupidrainbo
I am guessing that it's a MIDI piano track with a separate recording of humming. It definitely makes the feels, regardless.
@stupidrainbo
I must say that you can also hear him hitting keys on the MIDI keyboard. I thought the recording was at a separate time from the MIDI track, but you can hear him pressing them. This song was sequenced — at least partially — live. He must have had headphones on to hear what he was playing and keep out feedback...
That's so interesting that someone recorded that way. C418 is a musical genius, the more I listen to his stuff.
@employee4275
+The Epic Teatime He actually breathes emotion into his songs instead of pumping out albums like "real musicians"
@TheDelStation
Man, I wish I could make music like him. C418 can weave so many emotions into one song, or many. I would never have even imagined doing something like this, something this complex, and yet he can.
I admire this man
@flannelfan433
@@stupidrainbo and it sounds like he was playing Minecraft before playing this song because you can hear a pig snort in the background before hitting his first set of notes
