[twilightlovefrench]

I love who you make me dream. I'm a french girl, and what you do is really beautufull.. No, not beautiful. It's really perfect. You know how make cry, how make smile and you know how give emotions to people... I thank you for all, and i'm really happy to know your name and so your talent ! So really, thank you for all dream, all sensations you give me when i listen your songs. I've never played any piano in my life (even if i'd love to play this kind of instrument), but i hope i will have...

[rhapsodyblue56]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful music.

God bless this love child.

[Santex993]

Its interesting that both songs are starting with the same chords...

[kuroruki27]

this really beautiful... i almost cry...

[marlesimms]

The concept reminds me of Rob Paravonian's comedy routine ranting about how Pachelbel's Canon shows up in like every song that's come out in the last 50 years (but this is obviously beautiful)

[percykins]

This is now my favorite Christmas Song!

[lbstanley]

Beautiful. Amazing. Extraordinary. I am out of adjectives. sorry

[lukajovicajoca]

[RealMeanWearKilts]

Best thing ever was when you came to my high school and did a little performance for the music classes.

[xxmaej26xx]

brilliant

[193viking]

Wow! I have shivers running down my spine listening to this. I was looking for a version of Canon for my wedding...I think I may have found it :)

[ebbbakariblues]

[ANNI391]

Could you please do a full cover of Canon?

I've always been looking for different versions of Canon and your version is the top of the list!!! Thank you so much!

[evenstarauthor]

Beautiful.

friend of mine was messing around with Canon and I said, " You've got to hear this song." Made him jealous and practice twice as hard. :)

[barbles23]

never have I heard anything more beautiful...wow

[kataparuto199]

massive tip'o'the hat to you sirs.

[Palmarbeach]

Dislikes? How can there be dislikes? O.o Four people don't have ears... xD

[1999Aubrey]

Heard this in concert. It was amazing

[bbgqueen2]

This is a beautiful peace. I can see why this is such a crowd pleaser

[12Eragon3]

Beautiful*

[EMZT83]

Wow

[Microviola]

Come to Singapore!

[CougsOwn311]

I love you Jon!!

[Music1Comp]

This is one of my favorites - my brother and I did a duet while on an exchange trip in Germany. I played the piano and he did improv with the chords on guitar for this song. It's so fun to have talented siblings who can just pick up another instrument and play with you! By the way John, my brother played with you at one of your concerts for the seminary age students in Greeley, CO about four or five years ago for the jazz improv part of the concert. It was pretty sweet!

[1999Aubrey]

@Music1Comp I wish I talented siblings to play with me. Its always just me playing piano. :(

[Music1Comp]

@1999Aubrey I'm sorry! :( My brother plays like five instruments, I play four and my sis plays three.... We're pretty musical! lol but that's sad it's just you by yourself! Be a band geek and find some friends to play with! Haha!

[Spike64cb]

Just too amazing.

[VisualKeiCupcake]

Stunning.

[tjhutchings]

Amazing merge of the two selections. It really got to me!

[imluvnlyf]

The Pachelbel Canon was a part of my wedding ceremony. We tweaked it a little keping it soft as the processional began... adding a larger crescendo at about 1:50 when My father and I appeared at the entrance and began walking down the aisle. Would have LOVED your boys having customized it for us instead! What great work! Love it!

[GeorgieRomero]

i feel like ive always known this melody but never heard till now i love it

[aceflyer89]

Lol Legends call this goofing around :P We or at least I, call it AMAZING! Imagine what perfection is to them. To us it must be heaven.

[lentplanet]

i love pandora :)

[m4dolphins]

[CarlisseLiao]

all my life i wanted to hear this melody. i tried to create it on the piano, but i couldn't. you made it into reality. thank you. it's beautiful.

[darkwolf071]

This song was played as my bridesmaid's march in my wedding. I had an outdoor wedding and as coincidence would have it, I entered right at the beginning of U2. It was quite a dramatic entrance and perfect. This song holds a very special place in my heart.

[CloundnWind]

i love this song! i cant stop listening....

[mitzaline]

So Beautiful!! Thanks sooo much for this guys!! I love it!! x x x

[380zeaiclies]

Tomunipwns: Spelled Religion wrong lol

[Frene62]

I'm French, but, it's important to me to writte this in English. I juste want to say, thank you, this song is so beautiful. It make me thrills everytime I listen to this song. Sometime, I cry while listening to your song.

I know, My english is not perfect, but, it was very important to me.

I'm used to play piano too. I'd like play like this ..

One more time, thank you so much ! :)

[DrMaverick427]

@Frene62 this kind of music is designed to go out to the world. after all it is a very beutiful peice so i think I know how you feel when you listen to this magnificent peice.

[Mathasaur]

@Frene62

 It doesn't matter what language you speak. We all understand the language of music.

[expatcanuck79]

@Frene62 Mais vos mots sont parfaites, mon ami.

[Leah10595]

3 people have no heart.

[cmmiersma]

[Tomuinpwns]

This dude is too epic and he's a mormon the same religeon as me. PWNAGE

[AnimeNatako]

[utubekundt]

Ok, it's working now

[utubekundt]

Ok, maybe I have a bad wifi connection....but WTF !!!! The song keeps stopping for me....any help?

[1190303]

You say people don't create music anymore. You say shitty pop is everywhere . And i say you dont search enough to find real music like this masterpiece

[AllisonHughesMusic]

BEAUTIFUL! 2 of my favorite piano pieces ever.

[luckyturtles101]

i luv this song!! its amazing! <3 :)

[scompton11]

Do you have the sheet music for this???? Cus it is A-MAZING!!

[hljmcgill]

tears... as soon as the U2 part begins, tears....

[dancingpianokeys]

<-- watch my version of this song in HD :)

[kerelisse]

I LOVE it!!! I used on a love story for a friend and it was a hit...everyone was crying...and now a friend is using it for her wedding after I introduced her to it.

[dig2013]

is......is.......is there sheet music for this because i'm in love with tit and i must play

[M2cuteful]

Ahh! 3 people without ears..... how can they survive? :)

[labellaisabella]

I agree with Lovelypooch - but it was cool~

[italianautumn]

Beautiful piece, playing it on my wedding day.

[ZanTwiMuVanFron]

most beautiful part :: 0:00-5:44

[irishgirl2211]

i love this song, it's so beautiful..

[SARIKACHABE1]

Está increíble, ME ENCANTÓ. Me he quedado sin palabras.

[SARIKACHABE1]

Está increíble, ME ENCANTÓ. Me he quedado sin palabras.

[robbyjai]

awesome!!! absolutely brilliant what you can do with two completely different musical pieces

[micalikespie]

Soooo pretty. This is going to my theme song for all of the Christmas season.

[LovelyPooch]

I love this song. I just wished there was a little more overlap of the melodies. Have the cellos U2 softly come in during the Pachelbel, have the Pachelbel in the background of the U2. But oh well :-D

[0742172190]

even though the youtube guys made the like button bigger than the dislike one people still miss it

in my opinion john schmidt's videos shouldn't have a dislike button

[anac1996]

@0742172190 omg, you are so right. I'm making a suggestion lol

[youngminyou]

I love this song!

Btw, Where or how can i get this sheet music for cello??????

My friend and I ve been looking for it for 3 hours....:(

[rockinrobynlea]

Absolutely beautiful!

[jinjer6161]

I really hate when people mess with good music, but I must say I really really like this. Kudos ;)

[amadeus1756]

WOW!!! Incredible!

[eternity4everusa]

So beautiful.

[Dabadoobop12]

yeah. its great, but he only comes to our area everyonce in a while. ive seen all those songs live twice. its great.

[Dabadoobop12]

my mom has actually been very good friend with jon since high school, so she was there cheering him on when he first played "dumb song". we also get free tickets to everything, so we are able to see all this live. its even better live.

[friesians5695]

@Dabadoobop12 seriously?

[crystalann02]

i really want this song for my wedding. does anyone know how i could get it? =?

[boardup101]

@crystalann02 my friend asked Jon Schmidt to play at her wedding, with 2 weeks notice. He did. Or you might check itunes.

[melliesworld01]

@crystalann02  go to his website and buy a download file.

[friesians5695]

This song is amazing! It is completely astounding what comes from "goofing around" sometimes isn't it?! I will be laying this song as my "wedding march" at my wedding and I will walkout at 3:08. Thank you Jon, for fufilling the hopes of children and people today. And for putting your all into what you do. It is truly amazing!

[sparklzann91]

this music is really addicting! :)

[mrd8dog]

beautyful.

[PiranHiaLarry]

[ToBiWaSaBi]

[Atreus21]

[daveswife]

Gorgeous! As a U2 die hard fan, I can tell you it's so heartfelt and expressive.

Great work!

[kevsterman]

I have the album this is on and I just love it. Such a fantastic version and the two songs blend seamlessly.

[Sassymoto1]

[babynanoos]

[AKARaccoons]

@babynanoos Yes, I did as well. =) It's an awesome song, haha.

[hmhornbeak]

[lauramarielle]

Sublime!!! I love it!

[kchapmanprovo]
