Fun Fact: The St. Paul's Cathedinal Choir has been active since 1127 AD

It all began with a Lamp And ended with a Needle

Mother: Stop Singing! Mother 2: It hurts. Mother 3: Ha ha ha ha hahahaha *cough cough cough gasp weeze gasp weeze*

"No crying until the ending. Guaranteed Masterpiece" Mother 1 commercial cit.

When you think about it, this series is all about love. And those who understand it, and those who don't.

Mother 1 is about childlike wonder. Mother 2 is about an experience where you make friends. Mother 3 is about wondering about what happened to it all, as everyone’s story ends bittersweetly.

Take a melody, Simple as can be Give it some words and Sweet harmony Raise your voices, All day long now, Love grows strong now Sing a melody of love Oh, love Love is the power Love is the glory Love is the beauty And the joy of spring Love is the magic Love is the story Love is the melody We all can sing

MOTHER 1/ EarthBound Beginnings: Starts with a Lamp, Ends with the remembrance of Love. MOTHER 2/ EarthBound: Starts with a Bee, Ends with the remembrance of Love. MOTHER 3: Starts with a Dash, Ends with the remebrance of Love. THIS SERIES REALLY ENJOYS LEAVING PEOPLE IN TEARS, DOESN'T IT?

The video game industry has lost one of the few remaining people that truly appreciate video games as an art form. Rest easy Iwata.

Call me a baby or whatever you want, but I actually choke up and start to cry when I hear this. I'm not ashamed of this at all.

"Please Understand" - Satoru Itawa

No crying until the end... 𝓐 𝓖𝓾𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓮𝓭 𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓮𝓬𝓮.

Mother 1 taught me to believe. EarthBound taught me to laugh. Mother 3 taught me to cry. All these games told me about the twists and turns and ups and downs of one thing: love. A power so strong that no hell can consume it.It tears us apart, yes, but it binds us all together. Aren't we all part of MOTHER Earth? And that my friends, is what makes the Mother series my favorite game franchise of all time.

Say... [sobs from nostalgia] fuzzy... pickles...

Recovered addict, remembered listening to this album in high school. While using, I lost interest in a lot of the things I used to hold dear. Coming back to this song after all this time, in this moment I feel a long lost and forgotten part of my soul has unlocked. ❤️❤️❤️

Mother 1 lesson: learning the joy of adventure Earthbound/mother 2: learning to grow up Mother 3:learning to overcome your losses and move on

As of today, July 27th, 2019, mother is now 30 years old. It’s so sad that Nintendo isn’t even recognizing this fantastic, beautiful and enticing series. This is the best thing Nintendo has ever done, yet, they aren’t even noticing it...

Hold up, gonna go ugly cry over "love is the melody we all can sing."

WE'RE GONNA SING THIS FOR OUR CHIOR

I used this exact URL to at this song for my dearly departed dog, for fourteen years and now, tonight I am playing the same file for my 10 week old puppy... They both loved/love this song, thank you for uploading so long ago

This song basically sums up the MOTHER community within the past few weeks. Sony Music Entertainment Japan had been blocking uploads that had this song in it, including a lovely animation known as POLLYANNA: An Animated EarthBound Tribute. That animation and this song were blocked everywhere but Japan. Until yesterday, where SME suddenly unblocked all Eight Melodies related stuff. They listened. SME had listened to us! We weren't ignored as a community and I couldn't be any more happier!

Let's just remember how 3 children grew up to defeat the most evilest enemies in nintendo history.

Spoilers!!! Ninten's Great-Grandfather said that each fragment of this song are the remnants of Maria's love. Ultimately, when Magicant faded away, she could rest easy knowing that her enduring love lived on through Ninten, his friends, and the efforts they made to protect what they cared for. It took nearly a century, but love ultimately won with this song.

Teacher: what does those damn video games teach you Me an intellectual: Earthbound tells you about love and friendship, minecraft tells you to be creative, smash bros tells you to fight to the end, and among us tells us that we cant trust nobody.

No crying...until the ending...

This. This song is just so... amazing. It captures one's lost innocence perfectly and brings back that forgotten child within you

*Legend says that flint is still looking for his door knob to this day*

This better play at Iwata's funeral. Even though it's from Mother, not Mother 2, it still feels right.

Love is everywhere throughout the series. Even in Mother 3's depressing atmosphere, love is always there.

MOTHER, The newest Famicom game from Shigesato Itoi, is at last complete.

I'm not crying, just sweating from my eyes

I love the Mother series so much that I want this song played live during my funeral.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not the type of person who cries easily at things, I’m not sensitive. But this... this made me break down like a baby. I was hysterical crying so loud my dog became concerned. And I will say, the mother series are the only games that have ever made me cry. Amazing. Just absolutely amazing.

Rest in piece, Mr. Iwata.

This was the last song my mother listened to before she passed

We are here, and then we are not. Our life seems to end from start to finish in the blink of an eye. From the moment we are born, we are destined to die. The moment we die is the moment when everything we did, the good, the bad, the ugly, and so on, is all lost, and from there we pass away. In this case, life seems like it should be followed on just a simple, straightforward path, from start to finish, because what is the point of doing anything special when someone dies, and why would anyone remember me anyway? But, what people don't realize is that it's not about what you did and how it affected you and how you feel about it, but about how it affects others and how your actions and words changed or influenced them. Sure, you can follow the straightforward path, but why not take the risk, break away from the path, and make yourself a long, winding road. One with more obstacles, challenges, regrets, hardships, and loss, but one with more happiness, joy, kindness, and respect, and in the end, you will be remembered by people as one who has gone down the harder path of life, and succeeded in doing so. One of those men who took that path is Satoru Iwata. The one who made the Mother series from scratch, the one who kept Smash Bros. alive and provided help to Sakurai, the one who cut his salary in half because of his console failing just so he doesn't have to fire anyone. The one who provided us with all these magnificent, memorable games that we collect, play, and cherish for the memories they have given us. To Nintendo, to his family, to his friends, colleagues, and so on. To everyone in the gaming community, no matter who you are. Just remember. Remember him for what he has done for all of us, laugh over it, cry over it, understand it. Take all of it, and let us engrave in our hearts, that his legacy, his greatness, his generosity, will not be forgotten, and that we will continue on, carrying the torch that is our will so that all of us will prosper and be happy, just how he would want us to be. May we never forget this legend in gaming. Godspeed, Satoru Iwata... Rest in peace.

"Take a melody, give us Mother 3 We want it now please, ain't japanese Raise your voices all day long now, love grows strong now Give us Mother 3 please, oh please!"

Reminds me of being young. Can't say I either like or dislike that feeling, but it's a powerful one.

I am 31 years old. Every time I listen to this masterpiece of a song, I remember the calming fragrance of my mother when she was embracing me as a child, comforting from the cruelty of the outside world. Then it comes to my mind, that everything truly is connected. Like her, our beautiful planet we call Earth, also protects us and nourishes us like our mother, protecting us from the deadly cosmic radiation, and provides us with the safe haven of nature. We owe to Earth, as much as we owe to our mother, because both are very common as a concept, so we have to return the protection back to them, and care as much as we can.

the part where the song changes to the main theme (the part "love is the power.. etc") is legitimately the whole mother series in short words

I just realized the second part is actually the intro screen music.

Happy 30th Anniversary, MOTHER!

"Take a melody" "Simple as can be" "Give it some words and" "Sweet harmony" "Raise you're voices" "All day long now" "Love grows strong now" "Sing a melody of love" "Oh love"

I finished this series this year just before my friend died. I'm glad I can think of her in the context of this series. It will hold a special place in my heart forever, probably.

ITS BACK WOOHOOOOOOOOOO

Who would seriously dislike this? This is a masterpiece!

If a studio were to make an animated film of a Mother game, I'd want it to be Mother 1. It's shorter than Earthbound and its story is pretty similar but more fleshed out.

I still can't believe the impact that Mother had in the industry, yet, a lot of people only know of the series as just the: kid with psi powers in Smash Brothers. Which is a damn shame knowing how the series have outstanding soundtrack and lore. Anyway, if there are still people that care about Earthbound. *i salute you*

Mine and my friends, and to those I haven't met, I know they played a role in saving the world I know. Even if it began with a lamp, or ended with a needle or something, I know that there were people out there to save the earth just like me. Once I stopped Giygas for good, I felt like a new person... I felt like a kid, truly as I am. As my thoughts display on these cave walls one last time, I would like to thank you. Yes, the player, for leading us on this journey. A journey to peace and love, of melodies and friendship, and sweet harmony. I must go now, my mom is wondering where I am. Thank you all for making me the person I am, and helping others in the past, present, and future. My name is Ness, and this is the ending of my world's story on a bittersweet note...

Take a melody… Simple as can be… Give it some words… and… Sweet harmony… Raise your voices… All day long, now, love grows strong now… Sing a melody of love… oh, love…

For Pete's sake, Mother 3 has already been beautifully translated by a team of enthusiasts. Grab the ROM, grab an emulator and play it already. You won't ever get a better version.

This song becomes more sad and depressing once you know the fact that Mary used to sing this song for Giygas who is the most broken and hurt villain from MOTHER... 🙁💔🖤

Listening to this now makes me extra sad. R.I.P Mr. Iwata

in the end it were a simple song his mother would sing him as a child which would defeat Giygas. This game could greatly benefit from a remake.

The nostalgia is strong with this one.

It makes me so sad this was taken off of Spotify, every other song is there besides this and smiles and tears and it makes me really upset

Imagine you are watching the E3 or Game Awards and Nintendo is about to make a big announcement, the screen turns black and then you hear this song.

Mother 1 has its problems but the team that worked on the project really tried a lot, with story writing and extra effort when composing their music making this title as good as the other 2 mother games in that aspect, I love this game with my heart and it's my favorite of the trilogy

STOP SINGIN- *Ninten sings* GODDAMIT NINTEN

This pure anthem of love, made me cry.

R.I.P Grandfather.. R.I.P Buzz Buzz R.I.P ... *Mother*

It all begin with the nintendo logo and ended with the credits

tried to sing this for kids at a daycare several times they always laughed at me and made me stop. However about 2 weeks before I left a small group of them finally let me finish the first verse and realized and they admitted I wasen't a bad singer. I hope they remember that as they get older. That if you give people a chance to shine you might be surprised what happens.

Imagine being a Mother 1 veteran, in the final room of Earthbound (Mother 2), expecting to see the catlike alien you fought as Ninten the first time around, only to be greeted with what can only be described as the embodiment of raw evil.

interesting how the main antagonist of the mother series are persons lacking in one aspect that at least i, belive its what is all about this series, love giegue, he had love, but he didn't appreciate it enough, so he became a monster that couldn't any longer feel, a monster drowned in his own guilt, sadness, etc. while porky laking both love from a family and a friend, ended as a brat that evolved from bein annoying to a problem to a dictator that is ready to destroy the whole world and even itself only to see all the people that disliked him die

Perfect song for Christmas time.

If I saw a trailer of a Mother remake with all 3 games for a US release with this exact music playing i swear on my autopsy report it'll read "cause of death: intense feels"

Oh thank whatever Deity you believe in its back. This helps me with my Anxiety so much...

Giyga's mother singing this is such a beauty.

I didn't even play the game. I know almost nothing about it... SO WHY AM I CRYING?

Thank you, Nintendo, for bringing about one of the most sensational and magnificent RPG series that's ever been made. That, of course, being the Mother series.

Happy 1 million views.

We need more mother characters in Smash. This series is so underrated

Earthbound is my favorite adventure game to understand what happens in life. ❤

if i ever become a choir teacher, you best believe this is one of the rounds i'd make my students sing

I dont have real connection to this franchise (yet) but this song hits me emotionally for some reason

ITS BACK

Happy 30th years or something.. RELEASE MOTHER 3 ALREADY GODDEAMNIT!!!!

Chords: F C Dm Am Bb F Bb C Bb F C Bb C F (repeated multiple times), then Bb Eb F F/A Gm Eb F Bb. (Was bored and sat down at the piano for a few minutes. Hope it helps somebody.)

A song that even if you don't know where it's from, can melt the cold heart of those willing to listen. We all need to learn to believe, to laugh, to cry, to love. Everyone's so angry at everyone they all forget...nothing specific, just...forget. If you have a friend who is sad, or depressed, or going through rough times. Show them this video. Have them listen to it, and really listen to the lyrics. Even as I type this my eyes quiver as if I'm about to cry. And that's ok...

Take a melody Simple as can be Give it some words and sweet harmony Raise your voices all day long now Love grows strong now Sing a melody of love Oh love (x3) Love is the power Love is the glory Love is the beauty and the joy of spring Love is the magic Love is the story Love is the melody we all can sing (x4.5-?)

If i were gyigas, i would cry the fuck out hearing this

Ah, the music of Candles and the Rebirth of man

*Happy 30th Anniversary MOTHER!*

I know people joke when they say this but I genuinely want this to be played at my funeral

R.I.P Satoru Iwata. We will remember the good times you gave us.

I miss being a kid. Such great times and memories. Now I'm stuck in high school with a lonely life.

The nostalgia is off the charts. Those sopranos and that violin......

No crying til the end

I felt my sins was washed away by this sacred melody.

Since 2019 till march 2021, lost 1 cat, my grandma and now my Father, this song is one of my reliefs 😔😭

Goodbye Iwata-san. You were the Japanese Walt Disney, the legacy you left behind will be remembered forever. May your spirit find peace and happiness.

There is a pureness and innocence about this version of the song that perfectly captures the character of the Mother series. Although we all know harmony can be deceiving at times...

Been nearly 5 years since Iwata's passing, but it feels like only yesterday when I heard the news. Rest easy, Iwata-san.

The only song that gets me choked up by just searching the name.

We’ve lost one Nintendo figure, Mr. Iwata, bless his heart and soul, and now we’ve lost another. Desmond Amofah, or Etika, he.... changed more lives then he’ll ever know. He changed mine, and he likely changed yours in some way, wether it was through memes or his actual content. He was a huge advocate for all things Nintendo, and he brought the community together more than once. Rest In Peace with Mr. Iwata, Desmond. Give him a hug from the entire Nintendo Community.

NoA: "STOP THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!" Me: "No. *Keeps singing*

M🌎THER is in my opinion the greatest video game franchise in history because of this song

Rest in peace, Iwata. Rest in peace.

Shigesato Itoi is a wonderful game maker, I'm so glad he made the Mother series. It's a true treasure to play.
