I mostly listen to rock and Dubstep, but while that's more like junk food, Isaac Shepard's music is the finest meal offered by the most expensive restaurant in town.

"Before Dawn" was the first piece of his that I heard and learned how to play, and it made a huge impact in my life. I love piano, I love piano music, and Mr. Shepard does not disappoint. He delivers beautiful, inspiring music, and I'm so glad I got to discover him.

i played [Before Dawn] at a funeral.....tears to fill an ocean
--- by foolecoole on YouTube
|
|
I don't understand how it is possible to use such a short amount of notes and literally open someone's inner soul through a single instrument. But Isaac can clearly do this because the first time I heard this, I was nearly sobbing. It's utter magic.

...I was driving home the day I found out [my grandpa] died, thinking of all the terrible things in the world, especially death, and just cursed everything. Then I turned on my playlist with your pieces on them, pulled over and just bawled my eyes out for a half an hour, thinking how wonderful the world is to have such wonderful music in it.

I have been a metalhead for almost 10 years. I listen to bands like Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, and Dimmu Borgir. But none of those bands can recreate the feelings I get when I hear this song. It invokes such deep, meaningful emotion that touches my soul whenever I hear it. Thank you Isaac Shepard, for this magical feeling.

I find it beyond words how you're so capable of gliding through my emotions like water. I've rarely heard music with such a grace and depth; such a story behind each key and note. You're music has inspired me, like it has inspired anyone who has ever listened to a single measure...
--- by Shayla on IsaacShepard.com

If music is the universal language, then [Leaves in the Wind] is the word for "love." This song quite easily puts Isaac in the realm of great classical composers. I'm generally not prone to listen to piano-only songs, but this song is the purest form of joy. The beginning melody (the sound I like to refer to as stair-stepping) is one of those that once you hear, you will never forget it.
--- by Zebrion187 on YouTube

...I thought that music couldn't speak to a person. After listening to these songs, I now believe music is an art. Anyone can create it, but few can truely craft it.

Usually i don't listen to piano music, but I was playing this game with your music in it and it touched a place in my heart. I stay listening to it day after day since then, and it is a major part of who I am now. The music that you make is so beautiful, and the first time I heard it I basicly cried. Thank you for making this art that has touched my heart.

There is something about the way his fingers touch the keys and cascade up and down that makes it seem like this is what he was born to do and I am thankful for him doing it.

I used to hate piano, despise it. Now that I have heard him, though, I feel the inspiration to reteach myself just so I can play his music. With this music I find peace, emotion, and even love...

I love all different kinds of music, you name it. Isaac Shepard though... He is not just any artist. The sweet sounds of his piano is just the most amazing sound in the world... The colors the sounds make are so calm at and flows so brilliantly together. Just such an incredible album. The best He has put out yet.

Somehow your pieces describe the most simple and amazing places and moments in life. There are no words to thank you for filling all those empty days, for turning into smiles what before were sad faces, for giving peace to unendable days of stress and for showing there's still beauty in this world.

[Gentle] is the most beautiful song i have ever heard, even if I'm a rap/rock fan ... It just reminds me of being in Heaven, standing on the clouds, watching the sunset, while this song is playing and echoing everywhere around me... I know i'm saying it again, but this is the most beautiful song ever...

It hurts to know that not all people can enjoy this type of music. There's so much hate and killing and anger being spread around this world, but maybe if people sat down and listened... just maybe, things wouldn't be so bad. Just maybe, there would be a little less hate in this world.

At school, I was in my study hall listening to [Gentle] and completely got lost in it. I didn't hear the bell, actually, and almost didn't make it my next class. xD This piece is so pretty and... well, gentle. I fell in love with it as soon as I listened to it. ... This is just one of those songs where I want to close my eyes and just... relax or something.
