NEW VIDEO: The theme song of the new fireworks show 'Disney Enchantment': You Are The Magic on Piano: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ-Huc17fderXdY.html

We didn't deserve this. But you gave it to us anyway. I got to hear this every night for a year when I worked as a glo cart cast member. And every night, as I watched a child dance their heart out, a father pull his daughter closer, the whole audience singing along to How Far I'll Go, or my favorite: Tinker Bell flying down from the castle, I felt a happiness I will never be able to describe to you, or that I may ever come close to feeling again. This show never got old, never lost its magic. And though my time with Disney had to come to an end, the story that this show tells did not. I can still feel the Earth move, the chills on my skin, and the energy of thousands of people all in tune for a few minutes, if only just a few. There's nothing like it. I relive those moments from videos like this, and this my new friend, has become the one I will listen to anytime I feel bitter or anxious, the crystal sound of piano keys washing away grief with nostalgia and warmth. Thank you for this gift. May you be blessed in this life ❤🎆🎇🏰🧚‍♀️✨

Thank you so much for your heart felt comment. I loved reading about your experience as a cast member and how much this show means to you. They call Walt Disney World 'The Most Magical Place on Earth', and it's really true. 'Happily Ever After' is the conclusion of a day that the guests will never forget. It is an experience. When they go home they only have souvenirs, photos and memories. But music can really transport you back to a place or time. I grew up listening to Disney, it was one of the reasons why I wanted to play the piano when I was a kid. Music is like therapy for me. Some people go to the beach or a spa to relax. For me the best way to clear my mind is to sit at the piano and just play, play and play. It always makes me feel so much better. It means the world to me to know that through my music you are feeling better too. Thank you for making my day!

borderterrier19 Thank you so much for your comment! Disney songs are so much fun to play! Disney has always been a big inspiration for me. When I was a kid I wanted to be able to play the Disney songs, it was a big motivation for me to keep practicing. Please tell your son hi from me!

Yes! I recorded the entire show, not just the theme song. 🎹✨ The video is almost 23 minutes long and is one of the most challenging projects I’ve ever worked on. The music is exactly in sync with the actual soundtrack of the show, so thanks to the amazing footage of The DIS and green screen magic you can enjoy Disney's Magic Kingdom's Happily Ever After fireworks show with piano music!

@@MISSLEONAJB yo next time it happens get up out of bed, take a hot shower, or a cold if your anxiety makes you hot and sweaty, like mine does, and focus on your breathing, move around a lot, it helps to dissipate all of the stored up extra energy that gets trapped with anxiety, brush your hair and rub your scalp, put on some of your favorite lotion, and change where you are sleeping that is giving you anxiety and making you feel bad, so switch to the couch or another room where you can be comfortable, listen to this if it helps, or search up music with anxiety reducing binural beats. If you have animals cuddle them for a bit, and remember, even a little bit of sleep is better than none! Melatonin helps A LOT and your body naturally produces it, so it won't harm your liver like sleep meds will, it's also great at regulating your circadian rythm, which is when your brain gets the most rest, hopefully all this helps to get out of your head, it helps me A LOT!
