[Shynet100]

what a man, the music touches your heart even without knowing his day to day difficulties , puts life in perspective doesn't it. yep what a wonderful life when we have music like this.

[RaptorBeats4Christ22]

Beautiful. This gave me chill bumps

[ProspectBroadway]

This is really inspiring in a profound way. This really made me cry.

[InfinityOE]

What a wonderful world indeed for giving us the gift of Derek... Not because he can remember all music that he hears, but because he makes people happy with his music.

[mooglebee]

8th wonder of the world

[NatiDeNut]

The interpretation is based on Eva Cassidy's!

[1773nium]

jesus fucking christ thank you for posting this

[indio77777]

He is incredible

[indio77777]

He is incredible.

[oOemotrinityOo]

He's a genius! Did u gys know that he plays all the pieces only from the memory in his mind he listens to them once and can copy them exactly afterwards! He's got my fullest respect man!

[SageoftheWest]

@oOemotrinityOo

Also, not only can he recite songs from memory, he also freely improvises on a whim, making the song his own.

[drubio98]

this prooves that u can do anything if you put your mind to it

[swedishstream]

@drubio98 Prolly need a little talent to get this good.

[selewar89]

@drubio98 not necessarily, he lacks other parts of his brain working properly. it is a "mistake" ( a brilliant one at that) that his brain works this way. amazing thing he can do tho it doesnt require effort from him as it would u or i.

[culpritdesign]

fantasia

[bombergal1]

That's just amazing playing and I felt the emotion..has he ever made CDs??

[heraho]

@bombergal1 yes.

[rafaelnadalohmygod]

Without words.

[illushunz]

He has such incredible talent, not to mention personality!

[MrRico95]

he's great I tried to play with my eyes closed and it's really dificult en with a song I can play already for 3 years

he's really the king

[nixart]

Playing with your heart is what makes music. The eyes are a supplement to feeling where your hands are, for playing any particular instrument!

I was temporaly blinded 20 years ago. Someone brought my guitar to the hospital.

The feeling of the instrument under my fingers was enough to play Bach at the time! Luckily I got my sight back after a few weeks.

[adamsthecoolest]

i hope you are not trying to compare yourself to this guy!!!

[nixart]

of course not adamsthecoolest, I was comparing myself to MrRico95!

[adamsthecoolest]

ok man just checking cos its not modest in the slightest lol

[nixart]

@adamsthecoolest, hang on m8. there is absolutely nothing immodest about being made blind!

[nixart]

@nixart: isn`t the user name adamsthecoolest being rather immodest?

You posted nothing but silly comments with your channel! lol

[ungata101]

@MrRico95 my 2 friends are blind one is like Derek and can play piano, and one can sing and play ukulele

[officialwellacegang]

[Zerrith]

Why isn't he more famous now? I hate that song and I still watched the whole video.

[Treetrader11]

[kirby7979]

i bet the music is great for the unborn baby. The pregnant woman looks quite peaceful too

[Feddoms]

[nixart]

Carers are generally awesome people!

[nixart]

Kelly is Dereks Carer, and Jody is singing.

[granpastreetz]

Derek blows my mind every time! Amazing! by the way..who is the women in the background??

[Terrainef]

Derek is an awesome musician.

[necrofagg0t]

he deserves to be playing in bigger, better venues

[nixart]

Derek has been touring with an orchestra this year in big venues.

[necrofagg0t]

I'm very happy to hear that, I think his talent is incredible. I don't know many professional musicians that can do what he can.

[sparrow4689]
