The fact that this was a request from your mother is unbelievably wholesome. A composer creating a piece for their parent, such a nice notion. Good on you man

Dude. This is one of those things that just is hidden in your mind for so long, something you loved so much yet somehow archived, then you come across this and, it’s just such a great brainplosion of a moment. So glad you made this, probably would’ve never remembered this movie had you not

I grew up with a VHS and An American Tail was one of the movies I watched. This definitely brings me nostalgia. Very solid orchestration :)

The music used in older animation is always so lovely. This was a great piece that brought back some nostalgia!

I absolutely _loved_ watching this moving growing up. Fievel Goes West was also great too. Ahh, memories~

Ah crap....this one is going to hit home boys. Now I'm wondering how Rush would approach Land Before Time's themes.

HERE COMES THE MEMORIES AND FEELS!

Didn't think I'll see American Tail orchestal, this year. Thank you Garcia's Mother.

American Tail is one of my favorite movies of all time. I used to sing this song all the time as a child before the doctors messed up my throat to take out my tonsils. Absolute favorite. It brings me back to a time when i was child and watching the movie for the first time.

Man this is such a hit of nostalgia. Your mom has amazing taste, I would love to hear more of your work with older disney music, if the machine doesn't auto-copy right this stuff.

I can feel the 20th century nostalgia being played in a modern digital format.

Thanks Rush, listening to this just brings me back to my childhood

That was beautiful! Really took me back to when I first saw the movie on VHS as a kid. I loved this song so much I learned all the lyrics. Didn't think I still remembered any, but this incredible orchestration must have unlocked an old memory bank. Thank-you, Rush

LOVE THIS PIECE, this takes me back in my childhood with all those hand drawn animations and orchestral accompaniment.

Always listen to your mother Rush. 😉

Woot my terrible sleep insomnia awarded me with nostalgia!!

Oh my god I was just thinking of showing this movie to my siblings, I remember watching this on VHS as a kid, Im only 22 but I feel so old lmao

Ooof, right in the nostalgia. Beautiful piece. And now if you'll excuse me, I have to go pull out the old VHS and rewatch this classic.

I haven't had a very good time for a few days and this is the first time that music has made me cry like a kid thinking back to my childhood Thanks Rush, this orchestration is fabulous ♥

The Nostalgia 😭

I had almost forgotten this piece of my childhood. Thank you for bringing it back so beautifully.

3:10 That buildup is... it's just fantastic.

Thank you for this, just relived my childhood

Dang the nostalgia is real for this!!!!!!!

While all your work is great, some pieces repeat in my head for days on end and then pop into my mind months later. This will definitely be one of those!

Hey man, thanks! Was not expecting a nostalgia trip but got one anyway.

Wow...VHS memories from an early early childhood. Thanks Rush for this and many other wonderful orchestrations

I just woke up and now I'm already gonna be in the feels because this was my childhood. Thank you so much Rush!!!!

Hm I've never heard of this "American Tail' before. But what I do know is that this is gonna sound fantastic as always!

OMG I love this song 🥹🥹🥹 It makes me wanna cry!!!! I really love this movie so much

Amazing music. I love the emotion it captures. American Tail is a classic and I love that you and your mother cherish it. I'm definitely going to request an orchestration from you in future.

Apparently my comment got lost somehow on some other video, but I wanted to say, so happy to hear this. You're still knocking it out of the park with these. Thank you for all of your hard work! Fantastic!

I didn't realize I remembered all the words to this song until I listened to this orchestration. Thank you for the childhood nostalgia!

Bro this was a blast from the past

I have been waiting for this

Thank you Rush....Truly was able to relive simpler and more magical times through this...

Oh seen this cartoon a long time ago. Brings back memories.

Incredible work! Thank you for making this and sharing it with us.

This was the best thing to wake up to y'know?

No live chat, but safe to say we get a banger. Thank you Rush

And I cry

Why you do this I’m crying in the club rn wishing for days gone by hoping someone somewhere is thinking of me 😭

Aw, Long time no see! Glad u came back with new song :D

Man, Troy and Abed must’ve snuck into the orchestra this time

Thank you so much!

When we were kids my sister and I made up our own lyrics to this song. I don't remember it all, but it started with Someday, somehow, I will escape this place No matter where I go, I will come back for you.

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

I forgot this existed 😶‍🌫

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there And even though I know how very far apart we are It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there, if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true And even though I know how very far apart we are It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there, if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true

Alright who brought the onions?! 🥹

Wow 🤩🤩🤩

Fieveeeeeel

1:35 reminds me of 45 Minutes From “Somewhere Out There” by Brave Little Abacus

Outer Wilds orchestration next?

Filly!

And like that I'm 7 years old again

Considering that this is such a cult classic, this was unexpected from you. With that said, man I loved this song. I enjoyed it as a child. Edit: I’m no musician, but I sensed parts that are off-key. So, I’m hoping that there won’t be more of these.

;)
