I will admit that I was a bit intimidated by this music piece for quite sometime, What do you think, was it good, or did I just ruin your favorite movie's soundtrack? I hope I did it justice

-Ahmad, what are you doing? - Docking, Habibi

TARS: Its not possible.. Ahmed: inshaallah

RIP Ahmed. It is so hard to know you are not with us. Your magic will go on.

One of my all time favorites. RIP Ahmed إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Once in a while KZfaq does recommend good things

Imagine coming after a year to revisit this masterpiece only to see that this legend of an artist died. This cover is gonna hit different now

Ahmed my dear brother that I haven't met, may your soul RIP 😭 I'm 36 years old and I cried like crazy when I heard the news and I'm still crying as I'm writing this comment.. I won't forget you and I'm gonna share your whole videos through the internet as much as I can. You're not dead, you're living in the bottom of my heart and soul ♡

He doesn’t even look at his instrument, he just feels the music and goes along

an arabic touch will always add some magic to anything

Rip Ahmed Ashaiba, thank you for this masterpiece and for the beautiful art you’ve given us ❤ الله يرحمك ويغفر لك يارب

After he finished with his masterpiece I sat for 3 to 4 minutes alone realizing how hollow it made me feel and complete at the same time.

That mix between space and Al-Andalus

I hope after dying some day, still have the ability in some way, to be able to continue listening to this wonder.

RIP my friend, may ALLAH have mercy on your soul, Thank you for all what u have done, your passion and your music will live in my mind forever

That music itself was a masterpiece and you made it even more special, it's hard to believe that you won't continue to share your outstanding skills. RIP Ahmad 30/6/2024

nostalgic east meets sci-fi west.. beautiful

This is my everyday wakeup tune..

Ive never heard anything more beautiful in my life.

I was on Spotify, listening to your music, and I started to wonder why you didn't upload anymore. I went on Google and it was written in big letters "Ahmed Alshaiba died at 32". Rest in peace, you the one that opened my mind to arabic music...

One word: Astounding One Emotion: Thankful One Result: Subscribed

ايه يا ابني الجمال و الحلاوك دي. هانز زيمر لو سمعها هينبهر

I like this guy's humility. As he said in the description, he was worried to not make it right, qhen he actually nailed it entirely. He did an absolutely good job on this one, for sure

He's literally playing with his eyes shut, feeling the music.. This video should get the recognition it deserves. Mashallahhh

My eyes are in tears as I'm writting you this THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. That song is so powerful because it's so meaningful. Hans Zimmer composed it trying to express what it fells like for a father and his child when the father tells him that he must leave knowing that he won't probably come back but promises him "I'll be back" and the child asks just "when?". That "when?" asked by a child to his leaving father is so "simple" yet so powerful and meaningful. And that's exactly what you did in this version. Starting with just one element each time, like little "when?"s that join each other in harmony until you hear just that one raw and simple "when?" played by the combination of all the elements. So thank you again for this precious gift you just created. Greetings from Spain.

It's impossible to play this on aoud .. 'No its necessary "

I come here from time to time to listen to this masterpiece. It relaxes me and makes me look both inwards within me and outwards to outer space. Ahmed truly deserves a place in the stars, I have no doubt that he is now among them. Rest in Peace Ahmed, May Allah bless your soul.

I think there's something very specific that makes this work perfectly: Hans Zimmer talked about choosing the cathedral organ because it gave a sense of religiosity to the music, that "holiness" if you will. The oud brings so much of that same holiness to the piece, but instead of that Catholic holiness, it brings a different flavour of holiness but holiness nonetheless. The piece doesn't feel diminished in any of its sense of awe and wonder in any way, and still feels like you're in the presence of a higher power - which I like to believe is also what Zimmer himself was trying to achieve.

Hans Zimmer should listen this cover.

To be honest I was scared when I first saw this, I thought it was going to sound so bad. But...man...I'm speechless... the amount of beauty... it's just too much to describe

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard… I am truly left speechless

close your eyes, put on headphones, forget the world and relax. this music even went beyond the movie. Thank you Ahmed for your great contribution.

It's like being sad and walking in the desert alone

Thats what happens when you mix the West and East culture:Magic

One of the most impressive eastern covers I have ever seen in my life

May you rest in peace. Your passion in music will live forever.

Intimidated ? You absolutely nailed that piece . Your ability to capture and convey emotion through your music is amazing . You are truly gifted and I hope more people see your talent every day .

My sister who is learning arabic intoduced me to oud and ur channel. Im very thankful

So sad about you passing away Ahmed. You had done so much for arabic and international music and u had so much more to do!! Thank you for your music!!

Your music make my soul smile! You were doing something special, and that's why you won't be forgotten. Rest in peace, dear Ahmed.. 😢💔

Now let's do Inception theme

مين اللي خلّاني احب صوت العود؟ - أحمد شيبة✨.

I was brought to tears the first time I heard this, and with your passing I am brought to even more tears 😭, may all those that loved you as much I have find the same comfort and joy that you and your music have always provided me.

رحمة الله على صاحب هذا العزف الجميل.

لا يتقن هذه المعزوفة إلا فنان عالمي 👍

اجمل فيلم رأيته في حياتي ، عشته و تألمت و فرحت فيه ، فيلم معقد للبعض لكنه ايقونة ، لا يحوي لا جنس و لا خمر و لا اي اخلالات اخلاقية ، هو فقط فكرة تنمو كل يوم

Rest in peace, good man. You gave us all a marvelous gift with your music and efforts.

As a kid, I always loved to go to Encarta and either browse to the Ancient History, then to Arts and Music. I was always amazed with ancient art and their mesmerizing music. Hearing this cover by an Oud instrument brings me back to my childhood when I was still so curious about the old age, their music, and wonder how such beauty was made in their time and why not so many people could appreciate it.

For my 7 years old Daughther u are a Hero i cant belive she shows ur songs every day

I hope Hans Zimmer listen to this cover .

الحياة تافهة، نقضي طول عمرنا نعاني ونصارع على ولا شيء، في خِضَم هذ الصراع فجأة يمكن يجيك الموت، بدون ما يأخذ حتى الإذن، ليست كل النهايات سعيدة، وليست كل النهايات متوقعة. رحل عنا أحمد فنانًا عظيمًا لن يتكرر. ما راح ننساك حبيبنا، في قلوبنا دائمًا ❤

I've been listening to this for 3 years now.. can't describe how incredible it is. It's just calm and overwhelming at the same time. Can't thank u enough.

this is probs my favorite video in the whole internet such a great piece of art dude is very talented thank u so much for giving us this magical interpretation

1:40 all hairs on my body.. (steady, steady).... 1:43 (Goose Attack).... 3:00.. Into deep psychedelic experience.

Ahmed Alshaiba, You were a true legend. Salute n Love to you. RIP Ustaad. Love from India.

Just learned about his passing away. Among all the recent deaths I had heard of, his hits closest. What an unfortunate way to go. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. And, here, I was naively wondering why he hadn't released a new song for 2 months. Never had the honor to meet him, never expected to. But, if I had the chance, I'd have so many compliments to give him, so many appraisels to shower him with. May he rest in peace, may Allah grant him Heaven in the afterlife for all the good deeds he has done, for all the souls he had touched with his music and passion. What a great man he was!

It actually makes me feel like I'm flying in space just lost in the galaxy

Am i the only one who gets chills at 1:44

I think this is only cover which comes close to Hans' original. Something about the Dhol and the oud sounds gives this theme a new dimension... My mind is blown!!! Goosebumps!

The Oud gives this melody an extra Arabic soul layer .. makes the emotions floating from the depth 👏👏👏

مازال Interstellar هو آخر أعظم فيلم خيال علمي شاهدته في حياتي.

can i cry now ?

RIP Brother, this is so sad and beautiful at the same time. You'll be forever remembered.

لم تكن أناملهُ من لحمٍ ودم! كانت ضوء البلاد وحنين التلاد وأرَقَ البعاد. ‏فليسكت النغم وليصمت اللحن وليبكيك العود وتبكيك اليمن كلها إلى جنات الخلد يا من أوجعنا رحيلك

Interstellar the best movie ever

You did brilliant! Waiting for "Time" from "Inception" :)

الله يرحمك يا احمد تركتنا و ذهبت الى عالم الغيب اشعر بحزن شديد رغم اني ما عمري قابلتك بس كنت قريب مني بموسيقاك الرائعة لسنين طويلة ربنا يسكنك الجنة 💔

May GOD bless your soul . RIP brother ❤enjoy your journey on the other side

Someone send this to Hans Zimmer please, I feel like he'll appreciate this amazing cover

Me: it’s a complicated piece of music and impossible to do well on just strings and drums. Ahmed: hold my two ouds and guitar.

two days ago morning I learned from Aljazira that Ahmad AL shiba has died, in car crash... when I listen to this track, I feel him somewhere arround me... his art still with us but he's gone RIP... my condealances to his family

This is probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard

I've listened to so many covers and renditions of this masterpiece by Hans Zimmer, and, by far, I found yours the best and the most memorable. Keep up the amazing work, man. Cheers!

This Hans Zimmer piece is already phenomenal in stirring complex multi-layered emotions of despair, hope, determination, fatefulness, altruism, acceptance and an inevitable struggle and great loss...it's extraordinary in every sense of the word....The Oud and your heartfelt playing of it, yet adds a subtlety to the cocktail, dont know what it is, it's one of mystery and eternal peace

الله يرحمك يا أحمد. حزنت جداً لوفاتك. أعود دائماً لعزفك الرائع لهذه المقطوعة التي ارتقيت بها، فعزفتها ملائكياً على العود 😢

انت اختصار ل شي اسمه روقان واستكنان ❤

بعـضُ المـشاعر لا تُـقـال ..إنّهـا أرقى مـن رسـمِ الـحُـروف وربـطِ الجـُمل .بـعضُ المـشاعـر إبتـسامـة.. دمـعـة .. نـظـرة .. وربـّما نـبـضـة .. بعض المشاعر ..❀كذالك عزف الرائع احمد

You nearly ruined the original track for me. I can't stop listening to this one and can't listen to the original track anymore :( you are a real artist.

I had been seeing you and hearing your music in my sleep and in my dreams for the last three months, and I had no idea why, may God comfort all those you touched and all those that miss you so dearly, may you watch over all of us.

Why no one is talking about the chills you have at 3:38 !!

listening to this with tears in my eyes...

Its my forever favorite soundtrack, and the use of this instrument made it much more beautiful!! كل شي بالعود احلى!

When I listen for the first time your All Of Me...I started listening you.... I never read comments, but suddenly I stucked to "RIP Ahmed"...I feel pain inside... What a great loss...what a talent! RIP.

I wish I could say thank you. Thank you for making me fall in love with music. Thank you for inspiring me to just feel the music, and showing you do with your whole body and face... Thank you for teaching me that true oudis don't need to look at their instruments...that they are connected to them like the Navi in avatar to their planet. Thank you. Rest in peace brother. I hope you keep playing to millions of angels in Jannah. I hope I can meet you there and say thank you... 🥀

نتمنى جميعا يا أخ احمد ان تنزل اغنية موطني وتطربنا فيها من لمساتك اكيد ستزيدها حيوية وطرب الى المستمع

I’ve ascended to the 5th dimension after listening to this

RIP Ahmed. Thank you for this beautiful rendition ❤

The catharsis this man radiates is interstellar

أبدعت مرة أخرى ووفيت ياابن اليمن. تحية لك من المغرب الشقيق ولك المتابعين❤❤.

I cry every time I watch this movie or listen to this music, because I have lost my eldest daughter in her 4th age because of cancer. I promised her to be with her until being a doctor. I didn't fulfill my promise to her. I have been crying for three years. I can't stop listening to this music or crying.

giving an already epic song an epic middle eastern touch

هل من عربي هنا اريد كل التعليقات بالعربية لقد ابهرت العالم يا شيبه مازلت استمع لهذه المقطوعة كانك تنعي نفسك بهذه المقطوعة 😢

Out of all the people doing this music's cover, this was the first guy who used percussion and vocals. Respect+ 👏

this dude must work with hans zimmer just perfect it's so magnificent edited : this is a masterpiece tho !!!!

1:43 i came here for this part. Well played 👍❤️

Rest in peace brother Ahmed, truly a masterpiece what you created. Will always remember you when I’m listening to this

Omg man this is sooooooo beautiful you don't know how long I waited for this to happen, it's literally my favorite soundtrack

Beautiful.... waiting for time from inception now

you will never understand the grief of the middle eastern instruments

This is definitely one of the best covers i've ever heard ❤️🙏 the sound of العود and the interstellar theme combined makes it very special
