It’s the end of the decade guys. Remember all of those times playing this game with your friends and family. And remember when life was great.

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn’t mean that they’re lost forever.” - X

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory. -Dr. Seuss

I graduate school this year. It's a little scary heading into the unknown. Knowing that these will always be a thing makes me happy. It reminds me when my days were simpler. Thank you, AquaSkye.

This last decade was... eventful. Filled with dark memories that'll haunt me forever. Yet filled with memories that I'll cherish forever. This decade has shaped who I am today, I've learned from my mistakes and will always appreciate the good memories that I've made. Intro. Intro to the next chapter of mine, and all of our lives.

Already at the start and I feel like crying

whether you like it or not, you’re standing in a very special place. doesn’t matter where you’re from. where you are. how you grew up. regardless of geographic location, we’re standing at the crossroads: the crossroads of past and future, with the tiny spot you’re standing on composing an ever-changing present light and darkness joy and sadness fear and faith whether you like it or not you’re at a checkpoint, a gateway to the next part of life. you’re free to disperse along the various paths of reality as you see fit. life is beautiful, terrible, filled with moments that last forever, or fractions of a second. do me, do yourself a favor. enjoy it. -anonymous internet stranger thank you for the likes. I’ve been writing stuff like this in journal notes for two and a half years as of April 2020. I’m glad some of it was able to be of use to you all. :)

Last time I was this early, I was staying up late playing Minecraft hoping mom wouldn't notice. We really never stopped to think we'd miss those days, huh.

2012 was kind. Something tells me 2020 wont be

This is what I hear at the end of WW3, which is when society begins rebuilding after the turmoil that has unfolded for several years. All beautiful works from C418 and you

You have done it The dragon is dead The terror of dimensions Has died You return home And you think "Home" It was built by you Broken by you made by you You go outside Your dogs are there The ones you tamed The wheat you've grown The trees you've chopped But then you think "How did I get here?" It wasn't alone Your friends are beside you Looking at what you have built Remembering what they have built You see their beautiful buildings And grand structures You didn't make that alone In this game You are never alone

Plz stop giving me feelings, you’re making me remember 2012 wasn’t yesterday

Every time i click on one of these videos late at night, it always makes me think of how much iv'e grown, not just in age, but as a person too, I probably wouldn't have recognized myself from 5 years ago, im glad but also scared, just afraid of the unknown, i never thought it'd be so scary to grow up, i'd do anything to go back and appreciate those times more, when i was care free and didn't have to worry about school or friends, or work, it just feels like life is going too fast and i wish there was a way to slow down... at least just a little bit. ps, thanks for making all of these minecraft soundtrack videos, AquaSkye they really bring back some better memories.

This game wasnt a game It was a lifestile

It's honestly scary how fast time goes by. I remember when i first found out what Minecraft was and played the demo on the Minecraft site. Now, I'm getting older, things are getting more advanced, life is changing. I wish I could go back to the good old days.

I’m so glad I was born in 2004 and grew up with this childhood. Goodbye

Perfect way to start off the decade with nostalgia from the last.

This brings back so many memories of playing minecraft with my friends after school

Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we cry. But the memories we had laughing and crying will always be our favorite.

Can't believe that this year started with me being a kid to.. well nearing to become an adult. Scares me quite a bit to think what comes this coming decade - the threat of war again, but strides in technology and people finally realizing what they could do for this world as a whole. I will always reflect back to the 2010s as an odd decade for me but a happy one filled with memories from the Games that had made me happy for that Decade even with the troubles I had, especially with my family. I hope you all have a good 2020s and try to make the most best decade of your lives.

This is so sad, alexa play 2012

the memories come flowing back. hope everyone had a happy new year. stay safe, the world isn’t getting any easier.

The sense of exploration and adventure fills you with awe. Your dog, red collar and all has fur as beautiful as the moon. The ender eye stares, it feels powerful. You think this is the end, but it's the start of a new journey.

0:00-0:06 **Skyrim music starts playing** "Hey you, you're finally awake"

After WW3 we'll be looking back at this

"We wish for the world to get better, yet it gets worse. Then we resort to Minecraft." -Dr Seuss

“Han shot first!”

Minecraft doesn’t have a nostalgic feeling. It’s more of a hollow feeling knowing you won’t be able to create these memories again no matter how much you play. Memories we have as a kid are always gonna be sweeter and sadder

This decade has changed me so much. Not only that, but its tested my mental strength, my self esteem, and my character. This decade made me friendships, but also took them away. This decade gave me family, but took it away from at the same time. This decade made me understand that sometimes love isnt always what we think it is. This decade made me learn so many things about myself, and hell that was during the last two years. This decade has tested me, and the ones that will follow will do the same. I'll be damned if I wont step up to the challenge I will continue to grow and mature. And this is the perfect intro to describe going into the next decade Thank you

Bro this is beautiful You’ve done it again, you’ve given us all a song to remember simpler times ~thank you

2020 here we come; 2019 was a year full of struggle, i spent the majority of it feeling sorry for myself and just breaking apart over everything. Traumatising events took place in 2019 that still scar me to this day. 2020 is a new year, a new decade even. I’m trying to pursue my career for KZfaq and my utter passion for it. It’s a small low budget channel at the moment but I’m working towards making it much better. It’s genuinely what I want to do with my life . Lord I’ve never wanted to do something more than to make people laugh and have people genuinely enjoy my content and me as person. I’m going to try and do everything I can to make t work. Nobody around me believes in me and my family are disappointed but I know I can make it. If I just try hard enough and out all I’ve got into it I can make if. 2019 broke me but 2020 is a new year and a new decade. It’s time for me to prove everyone wrong. It’s time to prove that I CAN do it.

im back here almost 2 years later. on february eleventh, 2022. i see so many takes of this song as reminiscing on a lost loved one, hearing traumatic news for the first time, and nostalgia. its just a song from a game i used to play with my friends, so it makes no sense to be this heartbreaking. its not that ive lost a loved one, its that ive lost myself. im graduating with my bachelors in something i dont even care about this april. i cant imagine my future. i have 2 years left of schooling, and then im out in the real world. when i was in primary id play minecraft every night for hours after i brushed my teeth and dressed in my pajamas, and now i fall asleep crying in week-old clothes every night because im *just* another traumatized young adult that cant truly face adulthood. i want to feel nostalgia, i want to feel *happy* nostalgia. its been so hard for me to think of something happy from my childhood and attempt to feel it again, let alone succeed in feeling it. i clicked on this video at 1:15am while studying for my english essay on nostalgia in an attempt to spark pure emotion and pour it into words. i had to take a break because tears formed in my eyes. i sobbed so hard i felt like i may have been screaming, and for once in a long, blended decade, i felt that *one* feeling that overtook me as a child. that one GOOD feeling of true and honest nostalgia. im sat here writing this, with a full essay finished at 2:31am. one of the only times ive ever been proud of something ive written for a university essay. and one of the only times ive ever cried of *true* happiness. so if you see this, thank you, so much. i appreciate you more than words could describe.

Implying Intro wasn't already sad and nostalgic. Good one anyways. Also to anyone reading this, you got this, buddy.

I have a speech tournament tomorrow and this song will be my companion

You ever hear something so beautiful it hurts to listen to?

Its 5:48 AM and i was listening to all of your mixes and crying but wasnt expecting another piece of art!

Didn’t want it to end. Tbh I mentally said “no” when the music started to fade. Thx that was great. Keep up the great work

It's the year 2100. You lay in bed as the final breaths leave you body. Your life flashes before your eyes - the sweet days of childhood, the tumultuous periods of high school and college, the several decades you spent aimlessly slaving away at a mere vision of material riches, your children and grandchildren who barely remember you, your long-gone friends... And finally, as the world begins to fade, your life montage morphs into a quiet scene from that far-removed past. You're sitting alone on a cliff above the clouds, diamond pickaxe in hand. The sounds of various animals - pigs, cows, birds - fill the silence. The distant sun illuminates the surroundings with its radiant glow; a calm wind blows. The nostalgia hits you hard. You fight against the tears but they flow freely. The crimson sky darkens as the sun descends beneath the whiteness. Slowly but surely, the rich soothe of Subwoofer Lullaby, like the high-quality pair of nose-cancelling headphones you owned in your teenage years, begins to drown out all other sound. The clouds float out of view, revealing before you a vast green landscape dotted with oak trees. Various pools of water and lava and other mountains and valleys can be vaguely made out in the distance. The shadows of the grass grow longer; the sun's awesome red glow dips below the horizon, and a sense of peace overcomes you. "Hey dude, it's me." A voice you haven't heard in decades speaks loud and clear, momentarily startling you, then you concentrate on it. In a long-gone era, you and he had been inseparable - growing up in the same town, being your best buddy at high school, and walking with you through life's hardest moments. You and he used to play Minecraft together daily and had built an empire from the ground. The very mountaintop you are sitting on had been a spot to unwind and watch the sunset together before logging off and bidding each other good night. As the clock relentlessly ticked on, you and he had slowly drifted apart as career and education paths went in opposite directions. One day you received the cold news that, in desperation, he had jumped off the top floor of his office building. I struggle to muster a response: "H-how you doing man?" "I'm alright, wanna play some Minecraft tonight?" "I've been waiting 80 years for you dude, let's fucking go!" The sky is now a shade of dark purple, and stars glow bright in the distance. As you wonder where to type in your username and password, you now realise that you aren't playing Minecraft. You're living in Minecraft, and will be forever.

this really makes me think that I’ve have been wasting my life away. For this entire year I don’t remember doing anything that was “fun” or “exciting”. I can’t believe that it’s about to be 2022. I just can’t. That means that I’ll be graduating in 2 years, becoming an adult, and have to live in the “real world”. I’m so happy that I was able to be born in 2006. I’m so happy that I was able to exist while all this amazing stuff was being created. I’m so happy that I did the things I did before 2020. I’m so glad to be apart of the 2010’s era. To be apart of something like that really makes me happy. I’ll never take any of those days for granted. Thank you to everyone in the 2010-2020 era. We were apart of something big. Something great. Thank you. Sincerely, a nostalgic person on the internet :)

A time when it was simple, when everything was easy. When I was happy.

I just realized that in 5 years I'll be standing on a platform or stage, wearing that graduation cap and gown... I'll be graduating highschool in 5 years. Time is flying too fast... It felt like 2014 was yesterday. Thank you, AquaSkye for these beautiful videos. I grew up with Minecraft. It was the first game I ever played, I think. I hope you continue creating these videos as they bring tears to my eyes. Not sad tears, happy tears. I've been dealing with h//ming myself for 2+ years, and your videos and video games keep me distracted from doing harmful things. The last time I h//med myself was a few days ago (around December 27th). I don't remember. I'm gonna try and be a year clean of h//ming myself (: I hope you have a great 2020, Aqua. Please keep up the good work and this is going for everyone: Please, never ever h//rm yourself. It's just gonna become adicting and it won't help. Please, if you or a loved one is suicidal, please call the suicide prevention hotline. Your life matters so much. People out there care deeply about you, and when they find out you're dead, it's game over for them too. Your friends, family, pets, peers, everyone. I know we all have our ups and downs, and that's okay. It's okay to cry sometimes, it shows you're strong than people who don't cry. You're stronger than you think. Now, go eat something, go outside later in the day and take a fresh walk, go over your friends house and play games, go to the gym, go to the park, play your favorite game, take a nap, take a shower, listen to music. It's all okay, I believe in you. Even though you all don't know me, and I don't know you, but we all can get through this. Please take care of yourself. Thank you, dear human being for reading this. (Also, if there are any misspells, I am sorry. My English is not that very good.)

Fitting for the new year, as we introduce ourself to the 20’s

Damn you really did this to me

thank you again, this is another beautiful track. this one reminds me of the quiet nights i'd spend on this building server, and how many friends i made on there. i made a giant house with one of my best friends at the time, we don't talk much anymore. but the memories are good. sadly the server shut down awhile ago, and all our builds are gone. but it's okay, they'll live on through my memories and through this song. thank you aqua.

I'm scared. Scared to grow up, scared to move on and forget this game and many important things. Scared to make new friends and leave old ones. 2020 truly sucks

Oh dear god play this at my funeral

The humming at the end, now that, that got me...

i have always loved songs that start out with that raw noise. a chair squeaking before the recording, or a sigh, a lightswitch. it makes it feel much more real. i love it.

"The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone." -Kellogg, Fallout 4

Was born in 2001. My childhood was great. My life was great. Until i grew up. I miss home

Two things are for sure, not one of us appreciated the good times enough when we had them. And we all would go back in a heartbeat.

This seems to be the best music to be played for a funeral it gives off the feeling of warmth and reassurance that everything is fine and okay

Something about this pierces the soul, I wish to write something similar to this. It seems often the more vague a feeling is the stronger it is, this is a great example. This makes me want to sit in silence and let my descriptive ways be left alone, at least for a few minutes.

I don’t think you realize how much we appreciate you making these.

Do cave sounds bet you cant.

Even though this song is called Intro, it feels like the finale of a game that made many childhoods. Thank you Minecraft, for giving me memories I will never forget.

"Are ya winning, Son?" "I don't know, Dad. Hey, come look at this farm I made!"

That intro tho

I don’t remember when I started playing Minecraft, I don’t remember every house I built, or every dog that I tamed, but I do remember the feeling that I got, a feeling of freedom and of happiness. Back in those times nothing mattered, everything was simple, that was the best part.

“back when, life was easy... when i was happy” a tribute to minecraft

Dang this piece was already emotional, this makes you wanna cry.

If this isn’t played at my funeral, I’m not dying

man the last few years have been such a roller coaster but as much as i loved it i know i’m never gonna feel the way i did ever again the hardest part isn’t making new memories it’s getting over the old ones i feel like the old me is dying, the happier me is dying... i hope things get easier i feel like i’m to young for the things i’m feeling and i’m not ready for the next decade

I remember as a kid I was scared of the music. Good job dude 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nobody will ever forget the memories they had with this game. A day when Minecraft was filled with mystery, and getting diamonds wasn’t easy. Surviving your first night was an accomplishment, and getting full iron took forever. Now, all of that’s changed, and the mystery of Minecraft will be gone forever, farewell my friends, never stop mining.

My last day of highschool is today... Time has gone by so quickly.. I'm gonna miss my teachers. My friends. My childhood.

The 2010s is never gone And never will Especially the period between 2010-2015

Aw man where is my tissue box? Heh, these times were great, all this, your online friends, family, loved ones. I graduate this school year and it’s going to be a bumpy ride for all of us. I hope you see this. Everyone, I love you guys❤️. Thank you, AquaSkye Thank you, C418 Thank you, Grandpa Thank you, Everyone❤️😔

im sitting here, on a friday night, years past minecrafts prime. im thinking of a girl who doesn't even know me, missing the past. time was simple, i was excited to grow up. sitting in my basement for hours, playing, dreaming, imagining, having a childhood. what happened to that? what happened to me..? i go to school now, not thinking of these times, but everyone in a while, i remember, the experience. the time i beat the ender dragon getting chills, the chills im getting as im writing this. thank you to everyone i played with, and all who made minecraft a thing to remember, a thing to celebrate. minecraft, the greatest game ever, brought so many people together, big a small, young and old, weak and strong, poor and rich. this is a creation to remember. thank you, i love you, minecraft.

this video for some reason made a story in my head that made me think of the future that awaits me on the otherside. i'm scared of the future because i worry if i do something wrong bad things will happen. but at least i have my friends to help me out in any point of time. i hope that you guys don't feel this way, but remember you are amazing people. don't forget that. life may be hard but there will always be someone out there to help you out. don't give up you will get through this.the music takes me back to the good old days where minecraft was the most popular game of 2014. wow now thinking. life just goes by so fast that i can't stop thinking about it. my final words to you people. don't lose hope in yourself. the light will shine on you again one day. just believe in yourself.

This music reminds me of my grandpa he always tell me quotes and stories and he loved this music he sadly went to rest and he said to me life is meaningless without its consequences

This is it, the end, of everything, as we all move forward in life. Things will fade, things will move on, and somethings will be forgotten, but it still doesnt change the fact that, we still lived and had fun. Remember, its not the money, or fame in life that will make you happy, Its the experiences. Live life like as if you were a billionaire, cause after everything, the only thing that will remain are those memories.

We can never bring back the past it, it hurts

Yes nostalgic perhaps the sound one might hear while travelling through space, sad that we arrive here after destroying our last planet,and now we look at other planets Do we think somehow this will be the time we do it right. PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS RRR DAVID ( " NOPE WE WILL FUCK IT UP AGAIN. LOVE FIRST then you can make Peace. With Peace perhaps we will find happiness. I LOVE YOU ALL so RRR Re-use, Re-Purpose, Recycle " I think we're going to need more power "

Bro I can’t explain how incredibly well this goes with this song

looking back now through recent events its crazy that COVID-19 hit the world 2 years ago, this really fogs my mind, so much has happened but yet so little is different, I finished school and now I work, I'm always tired but, seeing all these videos of old games I and millions of others grew up with really puts in perspective how much a simple track from a simple game helped many people through hard times. I'm not really sure why I am writing this but it feels good. I guess time really does fly by.

this song/video gives me memories of the start of this year, around where the corona pandemic started to kick off and we all went into lockdown i was sentenced home, i go on the bus with a few kids and on the last day, there was only one guy on the bus and it was his last day at school (like forever before he went onto college) and that really heart broke me because he wouldn't have anyone in school to say goodbye to because they all- just vanished, and the song gives me that feels-

I just want to cry, I'm moving out next week getting my pilots license in 2 months getting my welding permit in December and all I want to do is go back to 2014 when life was simple and all I did was play Minecraft on the good ol' 360 and out of all this chaos the hardest part has been saying goodbye, saying goodbye to my dad saying goodbye to my mom, my dogs, the house, the room I played games in for years all the memories suddenly came rushing back all I did was break down and cry, I know I'll be back it's not like I'm leaving forever but it's just different and sad but off I go to make new memories to look back on.....

seeing all these people saying bring on a new decade, and about how optimistic everyone sounds about 2020 makes me sad. Hopefully, in the coming years, the world can go back to normal. In the meantime, I'm going to keep coming back and crying while listening to these incredible works of art.

I can't believe that I was 5 years old when I started playing this... Thanks for all the years

How can a song make me so sad yet so happy I guess it's just the work of one brilliant man Thank you C418 And thank you notch,mojang and anyone who worked on minecraft the friends and memories this game has given me I will never forget.

Last night I was thinking about this one time I was on my trampoline with a bunch of my friends, it was night out we had blankets and we were just looking up at the stars. Sadly I don’t think I will ever have that kinda feeling again....

I literally love this series so much, all the thoughts and nostalgia it brings to me is so overwhelming, and I’m glad you are active with the viewers

Nothing has ever tugged at my heart more than these tunes. This game was it. This was the game that started it all. The game that started my love for construction and designing. The game that started my love for Engineering, computers, video games and music. This is where it began. All those years ago back in 2009. Opening it up in the indev phase, and later playing it through the alpha stages. Oh Alpha 1.1.0, how I miss you so. I load it up on the modern launcher every now and then and simply feel a slight happiness compared to the overwhelming jot I used to endure. From building my first home, to crafting my first watch. To killing my first creeper, and to finding my first diamonds. While I will never play the modern versions, as I feel as if after 1.12 they began adding a lot of unneeded things, I shall always respect the game. My apologies for such long comments, I just have a lot on my mind after seeing and hearing these videos. But thank you dearly. Thank you for letting some silly teenager remember when times were simple. When life was easy. Not stress, no depression, no anxiety and no trauma. Just you, minecraft, and the world of KZfaq to entertain you for hours upon hours on end. Thank you :)

With the coming of this new decade, many things will change. Think of the old decade, the 2010s, as an old world. A world that you worked hard on. A world that shaped your experience to where it is now. You will always be able to return to it, but it will never hold the same feeling of happiness and content again. The new decade is like starting a new world. Despite the many things you leave behind... There are new things to build, new things to envision. And you are taking all the mistakes you've made in the old world and using them to build yourself up better. And if you've already screwed up the beginning of the world, You can still move on, away from that dark place. I would be lying if I told you I've never blown up part of the beginning of the world for fun. But you can move away from that spot, and as long as you are out of view of it, you can build and build and build, forgetting your rough start. Never forget that old world, though. As you return to that old world though, you know that there are mistakes. You didn't care about making it look like the absolute best, you just wanted to have fun and relax. Sometimes, returning back to it can give you new ideas on what to build, and what not to build. The new world might seem like an overwhelming challenge for you to fill up again, and sometimes, you need friends to help fill it up with good memories. Fill up this new decade, this new world, with fresh, fun memories, weither they be alone or with friends. Sorry if most of this doesn't make sense, I'm drowning in tears of childhood nostalgia and running on 3 hours of sleep. Love you all and don't forget to make awesome builds and new memories in this new decade.

Ah yes, Minecraft. I haven't played this since I grew up "Really grandpa? Can you show how to play?" "Yes, but it has been very long that I remember when I used to play this for hours just enjoying the game. To be honest, I hope you make memories just like I did." "I hope so, because I want to think of minecraft as you." "Thanks grandson. So when you spawn into the world you punch the tree"

Time flies fast, I may very young still but that doesn’t cancel out the fact that I still get a feeling of loss and nostalgia from this song and yes I’ve never had the same experiences as the older people here with Minecraft and yes I’m the next generation of the game and fandom in a way but I still get that feeling from this music, I’ve experienced the same things the same loss of friends and love for a game. And I don’t think It’s the game we cry about it’s those feelings, loss, happiness, nostalgia, relief, etc. And this song holds all of those emotions inside of it but you don’t know why you want to cry because, yes you’ve heard emotional songs but this one lets them out and flow like a river and a current you’ve been caught in. I don’t know why but it makes sense, the emotion and memories finally have a chance to flow and be free.

isn't it crazy how something so simple, can shape who you are as a person?

Sometimes we just need too take a step back, we’re only at the intro, only at the first chapter, what are we so worried? The intro into the world into life into whatever is ahead of you, we are always at a new story a new intro, the beginning of the next chapter. I love how there is a person in the background of the song, crying with us because we are at the intro of something new and are leaving behind the past, thank you for making my afternoon 100x better.

I'm glad I found your channel. This song reminds me of the simpler days. Where things just didn't seem so messed up with the world. A simpler time with friends. A simpler time of peace.

You know how dedicated a guy is when he hearts as many comments as he can.

What a perfect song to start the year with...

Aw bro it’s been a long time and this shit making me cry. Can’t believe how fast it’s been, old video games have gotten us memories, friends and few family staying and supporting you for how long. Late at night and just bursting into tears when knowing my old friends are still with me, even we grew up together playing the same games and going out. Thank you for this music and bringing me into this mood. I have to share it with my friends.. My True friends. Gonna graduate this year which seems it’s kinda excited but at the same time.. it’s scary. Gonna be out there and trying to be an adult from what my parents do for there life and.. I’m scared what might happen for this year. Let us stay strong brother and sisters and pick up our diamond swords, Fight stronger. We won’t be defeated until we give up. Ever.

Honestly, I thought that this little series was done after Alpha at the end of the decade. Thank you for continuing to make more of these.

"At every second a memory can create, as months pass by, the memory slowly fades away." -Me, 2021.

Aqua; your slowed down versions are what make these song stand out more and wanted to thank you because the songs wil resonate through for the rest of my life and when ever I come back to these years from now when we’ve all grown up. I’ll known I spent my teen years without regret.

"a home is a home when the furnace is next to the crafting table"

Crainer and Ssundee rarely play* Pat and Jen broke up / divorced* DanTDM having a child* my childhood you tubers..
