There are many tales to tell in this world. Tales of adventure, tales of fate, tales of love, and tales of hate. And the most treasured tales, the ones we hold dearest to our heart, begin like this... "Once upon a time." For these tales of knights and dragons and romance have always-- ALWAYS-- inspired adventurers to go out and create tales of their own, to make their mark on the world, to change lives. And it all begins with "Once upon a time".

Beautiful and peaceful ... this takes me to a world of fairy tales.

I honestly think that this is the best community of subscribers/audience I have seen on KZfaq. No spam, no hate, no virus links, no self advertising, and positive comments.

Listening to the same songs all the time gets boring after a while. There's a special feeling the first time you listen to a good song. I'm glad AdrianvonZiegler uploads new songs all the time.

Every once in a while I come here, hide from the world and just sink deep into my thoughts, thank you for your beautiful music Adrian!

Adrian, I'm going through a really tough time at the moment, and your music is helping me so much with it. It soothes me, makes me feel happy, lets me think, expands my imagination and generally takes me away from where I am to another realm, one where all is good, one where peace is. I just wanted to say - Adrian Von Ziegler, you are a god to me.

My God... every time I hear... this... I have tears in my eyes... oh my God... just, no words :') I'm sorry, I sound like a babbling idiot, but... I just can't think of what exactly to say, this is so lovely!

Beautifully soothing and calm. Great work!

If all people whould listen to this, living on Earth would be like living in Heaven. Trully this divine music makes you a better human. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing and what you have done.

Really beautiful.

It is said that once in in lifetime there are those that are born that are genius in their field, The baker, The woodsman, The philosopher, The star gazer. You my friend are the musician. I have not found any of your music that is not far ahead of it's time. Thank you for posting your music here, if you did not, then not many of us would have ever felt the passion, and the genius in all your music.

Whenever I listen to this kind of story music, I actually get a story. No words, pictures, sounds, dialogue, anything, just an understanding of an adventure and it's like I can feel the story, and I still don't know anything about the story. Is that weird?

And God said: "Thou shall be granted a great person with great personality, a genius master of the art of music, emotion, peace who shall bring happiness in your life. Thou shall treasure him"

Every once in a while, i come back to this... Adrian, you give something to this world and i want to thank you for this

Its not sad its beautiful. Maybe that's why you cry, his songs are just too beautiful. Another great thing to take me into fantasy for my writing

Me and my Girl love to imagine living a Medieval life in the Scottish Highlands. We were just texting about our Dreams again, and even though I am in a severe depressed State right now, texting her always makes me happy. And listening to your Music while texting her makes it even better. So that you very much, and keep up the good work...

one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard..

This song is such an inspiration. Its my favorite. Every night I sit outside to stargaze and as I do I always play this song. whenever i listen to it my mind takes me to wonderful places. Its so beautiful. Please make more like this one. This song was an inspiration for one of my poems. Its titled The Meadows. In the meadows I see the light The light that saved me from the dark In the meadows I hear the music The music that plays deep within my heart In the meadows I feel the breeze The breeze that whispers hope into my ears In the meadows I feel free Free of the troubles that have blocked my path before Free to live how I want Free to do what I want In the meadows I AM FREE

I so want to see you get the recognition that you deserve. Your fans' devotion to you speaks volumes, and it's completely deserved, but you could and should be known globally. Until then, I'll continue spreading the good word about your beautiful music.

Adrian, I don't know what I would do without you. I often have a hard time focusing and I'm in a pretty demanding school but when I listen to your music it's like everything just disappears and I can sit all day long without any distractions. You save my skin every day. Thank you and never stop making music. We need you.

As I walk the woods of life, I see beauty and wonders words can never describe. I see purity beyond any human perfection. The purity of nature transcends all that we believe to be pure. Complete, bright, and whole. Your music brings to mind what I envision the world should be: perfect, pure, and unadulterated. Your music brings me peace in my most trying moments. As I listen to your music, I reminiscence the good times of my youth. Thank you so much!

This song is like whispers of relief and calmness upon ones soul. It touches the heart and has so much meaning put into it - exactly what music should be like. Bravo, Adrian! Bravo.

I think if there is something that makes the human understand each other ..then it's gonna be your music mr. Adrean

Celtic music,one more miracle of the world

I woke up this morning and checked my youtube updates and this song was up. I selected it and laid in my bed with my cats and dogs and we all enjoyed this beautiful wake up call. Thank you.

Thank you Adrian for the great music. Even during rocket attacks, I am calm and do not panic thanks to you.

It’s really amazing and I forgot about this song in a long time and I’m so glad I remembered this. It’s beautiful and gorgeous. Brings me back to my Celtic heritage that I have from my mom’s side of the family.

Adrian, this music definitely speaks of "Once Upon a Time". It speaks to our hearts of love, courage and daring. Truly inspiring!

This is amazing. It's like a gateway into.....everything.

I used to listen to this a lot during Statistics class while the glowing lights from the nearby sun and trees breezing creating beautiful dot-like things that help create the atmosphere and imagination in my head as I watched. Love this so much.

This reaches inside my heart, bringing out the unconditional love that is my soul, and brings it to the surface. For a few minutes that love is free and doesn't have to be guarded! It is free to feel the joy and beauty of life, without worry or judgement! Thank You Adrian!!! Happy Tears!!!

Once upon a time a guy who make beautiful song.... Once upon a time AdrianvonZiegler thanks for that's song

God this is too beautiful words cannot describe how powerful this music is.

Once upon a time.. there was a wonderful music maker (and writer) known by many people as Adrian von Ziegler. His music was making everybody peacful and relaxed.. With his magic music, he helped them to recover from difficult periods and he was able to put a smile to everybody's face. He was loved and was granted by the Gods: his dear Carina was always here for him and they loved each other deeply. Everyone was wishing them the most beaufitul futur. Here is what your music made me think about ^^ You have a beautiful, a wonderful heart and I wish you all the best !! Il était une fois.. un merveilleux compositeur de musique (et écrivain) connu par bien des personnes sous le nom d'Adrian von Ziegler. Sa musique rendait chacun paisible et relaxé.. Avec sa musique magique, il les aidait à récupérer face aux périodes difficiles et était capable de faire naître un sourire sur le visage de tout le monde. Il était aimé par tous et béni des Dieux: sa chère Carina était toujours là pour lui et ils s'aimaient profondément. Chacun leur souhaitait le plus beau futur. Voici ce à quoi ta musique m'a fait penser ^^ Tu as un coeur magnifique, sublime, et je te souhaite le meilleur du monde !!

C'est vraiment magnifique, et très reposant, j'adore la sonorité de la harpe. Je me croirais seule, dans une grande étendue sauvage /o/ je parle en français parce que je serais incapable de dire tout ça en anglais.

Once upon a time... There was a man. And that man composed beautifull songs. One one of his songs called once upon a time and it was wonderfull as always. Thank you Adrian for an other amazing song.

I've been through some tough times lately ... And simply this music simply releases my stress away completely.. It makes me weep from such sadness of my hardships in life, but I'm joyful to hear such a beautiful tune to my ears ... I've developed post stress anxiety disorder through traumatic events... but Adrian, your music ... is medicine to my soul. Thank you so much Adrian.. Keep up the incredible work.

Please, never stop composing, Adrian. I would not live in a world without such beautiful melodies. :)

Heavenly! Once again you built a paradise of melodies and harmony!

Your music should be sold in pharmacies and employed in video games. If you people appreciate Adrian's work, I think you should help give him free time to compose more by buying his album (of course only if you can). I spend an hour at least per day on your music Adrian, thank you.

It is said that every great Tale has three parts; and that the first part is the Beginning, which is slowly built. It introduces the heroes and sometimes even the villains, although how you see them is up to you. The beginning introduces you to the world; a world of Magic, where animals talk or trees walk. Where Bards cast tales of Valor with their fingers and their voices and Kings and Alphas rule justly and with the greatest kindness in anyone's hearts. But, something happens, and the Tale hits a snag. A problem has come up, something our Heroes have to solve. Then, comes the Middle. The middle builds the tension, it is that feeling when you do not know if the Hero is going to survive that battle to the death with a God, when the Hero falls into a coma, or they are captured. The Tale moves faster and faster, flying from one place to another, trying to keep the Reader, or the Hero, off balance. The villain may be revealed now, if they have not already been, and it may turn out to be a dear friend. The last battle happens, the world is free from the Curse that plagued it for eons and the Hero starts the slow, weary journey home, not expecting any praise for the work they have completed or recognition for their Valor. And then, the End. The Hero reaches their home, they ride into their home town or the capital, quiet and pensive, thinking that they will just slip back into their old lives without anyone noticing. They are met with loud cheers and a festival! Everyone heard about their Valor from the Bard who saw it all and wove their Tale for all to hear. Everyone knows that it is the Hero who saved them from the Tyrant, or the Dragon, or the Eternal Winter. They know and they recognize the work the Hero has done for them, and they are grateful. (Now if anyone got through this megaparagraph-thingie. I applaud you! And now I'm gonna go hide my face in my pillow) Master Bard Adrian: You. Are. Amazing. I can honestly listen to your music for HOURS without stopping. Just sitting there, with my eyes closed, listening. ....Which isn't really good for my wordcount, but hey, it is totally worth it.

Adrian your music and talent to compose these beautiful pieces of music is amazing I thank God for you, your music is the most beautiful I've ever heard.

Once upon a time there was a boy who was living his life as if nothing was happening, not a thing to care for, not a thing to pay attention to, not a thing to bring him back from his own world. A vast aura of happiness was always surrounding him. He was always smiling. Nothing could ever shake him off. The days were flying by one by one. One day he met a girl, a girl beautiful as the nature, good inside as an angel, mysterious as space itself. He wanted that girl, but, he was afraid of leaving his world. He was afraid of the consequences. But, he reached up to her. And the girl didn't bring him back from there nor she left him alone. She simply went there with him.

Какая замечательная музыка СПАСИБО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the book, which i'm writing right now, there are two characters, called Kayley and Gordi who are comming together at the end. It's no love story, but I wanted to have something like that and "once upon a time" is their song. If 'm writing, I just turn on your music on KZfaq and if one song finished, I just let the next start, without knowing, which one it is. When Kayley and Gordi had their first kiss, this song was playing. I want to thank u once more, Adrian, for being such a great artist and composer and make me writing the most beautiful fantasy stores, just inspired by your music.

This is just wonderful... it brings such peace to my heart.

No words, this is perfect.

Adrian, you are an amazing composer, an amazing artist, but most importantly, an amazing person. Your music inspires me to keep moving; to keep working on my projects, to see the beautiful side of life--even in the darkest moments. I can feel the passion that you put into your work even on the other side of the world. Please, Adrian, don't you ever stop making music! Greetings from Puerto Rico.

Love this song so much, extremely beautiful, one of my personal favourites from Adrian Von Ziegler.

No dislikes, NEVER a negative comment in the comments section... This is one thing that separates Adrian from every other channel, but even greater than this is the fact that his music never disappoints. Sure, I may not be enthusiastic about some of the songs, but that's just because of my personal taste. There is never a piece made by Adrian that someone doesn't like. No matter what your taste, you'll be included in the group of people that love such beautiful music. Live long and prosper Adrian, we need your music! :D

this one I love. the harp is my fave instrument.

Those 3.... Count 'em THREE people, obviously know nothing about beauty. Another beautiful serene piece. :)

Around 1:45 it shifts from a relaxing and calm, almost ambient feel to a dramatic, emotional melody. Aptly named Adrian, this song certainly evokes the feeling of an epic tale.

Exquisite composition! As always Adrian, your genus come through in the most beautiful fashion. Thank you.

wow, both brunuhville and adrianvonziegler upload new compositions on the same day... must be a dream

Ich liebe deine Musik

It's been to long since I last came here to listen to such wonderful music.. X3

To jest naprawdę piękne...

This is really beautiful it fulls of softy,patient,waiting,graceful,and something i can't explain it is really a truly masterpiece.Thanks for make me much better

I love this !! When you can listen... close your eyes...breathe...and be 'taken' to a place of 'deep emotion'---still, and quiet...yet so intense, with a single tear as your companion...and just be one with your feelings.... that's perfection !!

I love the peaceful melody that this song has

How do you keep someone you love? You don't For love is not possessive If you truly love someone...you set them free.

Just beautiful, especially when the flutes came in around 3:00

Magical as a fairytale. Or a fairytale in and of itself.

Your music is like a precious gem of this world. It gives me a different perspective of how I look at this world.

I would like to be in a chair listening all your songs LIVE. Saludos desde Chile!

This is a very delicate and beautiful piece of music that you wrote. . . so many memories, endearments, strength and love all intertwined.

Beautiful again, I'm really going to buy CD's from you, your music makes me peaceful and like I said before happy and sad at the same time. Perfect for having great inspiration and a good night sleep. Thanks Adrian!

music that one might find when wondering down that hidden path that when followed you come across a beautiful fountain within the clearing and you sit to rest and fall into a peaceful sleep and all the worries of the day will fade a way.

This is one of my favorites . I love it

Man your music makes me wish i was in the magical land of Celtic myths

Awesome, how can you enjoy this amazing music, thanks very much for sharing. Greetings from a Mexican.

A great music... just for living and celebrate life ☺ 2:05 is truly good!

Sir Ziegler...i bow before your musical prowess my friend, this is absolutely amazing, this is such a great and soothing piece to hear

2:23 - I love the drum beat there and the echo that happens right after

Thank you.....this song is such an inspiration to me (because I'm a writer), so thank you this song actually made me cry because it made me think of the one I love.....but it was good, I needed to cry. Thank you so much this is probably one of my favorite songs by you

This is really beautiful. I wish to Carina and you the best. If this song could talk, it would say "You are beautiful"

In recent times I've come to realise that the flute is the best instrument in a whole orchestra.

Above the standard as always. Every time I listen to one of your songs, I can clearly recall that feeling I had when I first became a conductor-or more deeply, a musician. Also, as a side note, your keyboard has an impressive harp keytone.

Thank you for delivering such soothing music Adrian :)

What a wonderful gift at such a young age. I look forward to your next one.

this made me cry...fantastic music!

You're unique! This music makes me feel as if I'm in a beautiful forest right now...

This is like my new favorite now :)

This... is... GORGEOUS!! Probably more than that, but I can't come up with the right word.

Talent beyond measure!

Another song I'm going to listen to before sleeping ! Thanks for your amazing work Adrian. You help me forgetting college pressure.

Beautiful. I don't believe there's anything else I can say. Thank you for giving this to us.

This music are so beautiful !

Adrian, I do believe Carina got her music. It is really special the way you enter into the song, and then how it "opens" into a larger world of its own. Excellent work on your composition, and the story of the "Princess". Thanks for your hard work and sharing with the world.

This is beautiful Adrian. It brings memories of laying in an open field with the one you love, sharing the moments together ,the first of spring. Thanx:)

Why it seems to me, Adrian, that your most tender and sensitive songs have the least views?

Lpersfromnowhere very well put. Adrian it's another hit, how you are able to come up with such amazing songs time and time again never ceases to astonish me.

very beautiful, so much talent and very gifted you are, thank you for sharing your gift with all of us...angelic blessings to you, Adrian

Wonderful music !

This song remember me the ballad of The Legend of Zelda, I don't know why... It's a pleasure to listening this music♥ (Everyone understands why, I think ^^). (Oh and, sorry for my "english" but I'm french so forgive my mistakes please ! :3)

Beautiful! Never stop to make music.

My first thought was The Raven, from Edgar Allan Poe because of the title, but after listening...hahaha, totally different from the tension of the poem, this is really a piece that represents the act of remembering a distant past where things were better while feeling a bitter taste of melancholy. My grateful opinion.

Con cada melodía realmentemuestras tu corazón y quien realmente eres

Oh god I love harps...... This is just eargasmic
