I've got a college deadline tomorrow morning that I'm absolutely shitting it about, panicking about nearly everything around me right now, but thanks for three minutes and fourty two seconds of thinking 'jeeeesus the stuff this guy makes is beautiful' in stead of 'oh my god i've got a deadline for the scariest teacher i've ever met and I think she's going to eat me and not in a good way and my life's a little bit of a mess so why am I on youtube and not doing something about it?', man.
Yo production guys! That tilt shift in post or are you using a lens baby? Loving the audio quality as well for a youtube video. Not to mention that dude is talented.
Great singing, and his intotation on the violin is great, especially considering that he is playing in c minor, which is a very tricky key on violin. And he still gets a strong sound.
Haven't seen anyone who is able to play violin well and sing well, it's always one or the other. To be able to do both is . . .amazing, to say the least.
I keep coming back to this song & this artist over & over again, as the most beautiful & compelling music I've heard in years. I keep sharing your music out to share the joy, never before would I have listened to a violin alone, nor someone singing with a violin the only accompaniment as too pretty for me, just not into classical music. This is something else that speaks to my heart & soul & I can never forget the sound of your music.
Hi, i'm a 17 year old singer/songwriter falling under the genre - 'Urban-Progressive-Folk'...if you have a moment, would really appreciate a listen to my new acoustic live video of one of my songs 'Her Autumn Son'. On my YOUTUBE PAGE! For some Folk/RAP! Cheers X
@loveTGOD dubstep isnt music to be loved or thought to be a beautiful thing.....its for moving...its metal for party ppl lol i love this music and i love dubstep but there is a time and place for the two.
Man, you just made a fan base in Serbia...simply unbelievable...was dressing up when accidentally played this, and was sitting for 3.24 half-naked...showed it to my sister, she got goosebumps after ten seconds :)...we`re poor and we don`t buy cds, but if it means something, you truly changed somebody`s life and your name will be remembered till the end of my time :)))) ...
I doubt you've heard this yet, so am sharing. I'm now addicted to his sound, it's so simple it's amazing how much power comes from just a vocal and a violin like you have never heard it done before. Beautiful, words fail me.
pure,soulfull why are we not hearing this on the radio and instead we are hearing a load of tampered with music,pretty much a load of rubbish. Its like you know his life through his words on and be great because you are phonominal at what you do.
I don't usually leave comments, but wow this guy is so talented! This is true music instead of the dubstep crap on the radio, big respect for this guy!
Does this artist have his own channel here, or profile anywhere? I'd like to support his music & buy his stuff as well as help promote (free) his gorgeous music. I had a hell of a time trying to find this video again after finding it last night (for some reason it didn't get added in faves despite adding it there). He is the best find this year as far as I'm concerned :)
I love original, unique & unusual music/elements/sounds. This guy is breaking all the rules brilliantly. I love his voice as well as the interesting way he plays the violin. I hope he goes far in his success, he deserves it for the fight he must have put up to express himself this way, in the face of so many stereotypes. Such a gorgeous bit of music & what a talent, wow.
I love this but does anyone else hear the ridiculous resemblance to his song "White Sails"? You can't hear it in the studio version but here it is really obvious lol
@TheBHilzerMusic Yea, taking nothing away form the song, its great, but the rhythm is exactly the same as White Sail, it sounds like the same vocals as well but in a different order.
@poppamayhem I was reminded of exactly that the other day when i saw my neighbours about dog take a dump in my garden. The turtles head was right there, i was like noooooo and then the sprinklers came on!
Look what this world is coming too, Real heart and talent is just being pushed aside for this crap we hear on the radio they call music . Thank God for youtube.
This is wicked man..guys got talent. Really nice filming too, how did you get this range of focus, I've been trying to do this with my camera for ages and just wondered if there was any lense in particular you used for this awesome effect. Cheers :)
I think the amazing thing about this is that you can totally invision how in his head there's a full orchestra behind him, and you can almost hear them too with only one man, one instrument, and one heck of a lot of soul.
