[cwmh]

wish there were someone like you that played viola D:

maybe there is but i haven't found one yet > <

[FlamesOfSymphony]

It's music like this that makes me really want to start playing music for real... I can't wait to get my violin, since I've tried a violin for the first time in a store, not to long ago and turns out I was really good, for a beginner who knows nothing. Better than my friend, who is like an ace at pretty much any music instrument =J I'm really looking forward to play this part when I get my violin ^-^ You're really inspiring

[ThatAsianAcrossTheSt]

ur vibrato is perfect...

[AznJTB]

Amazing! Ben Chan should make a studio version of this... I like this version more than the original and I want to listen to this constantly on my iPod :P

[lovesavel]

After 5 years learning piano and 10 years spending without music,I am 25 now! It was my big decision to start learning violin.

Thank you Ben for sharing such beautiful music.

You gave me faith to not stop trying to learn an never stop to express myself.Lot's of greets from Greece.

[quachingducks]

@lornamhayes This guy is better, his sound is way more smooth. he may not have as much feeling as him, lol Alex has so much feeling in his but this guy is way smoother like anonyy said

[truekittylover]

You're great! Now I gotta pick up my violin and practice... Just because its summer doesn't mean I can slack off! I'm going to play as well as you one day! ;) need to earn some more VP, too.

[lartes100]

happy birthday, hearing your work makes me feel more confident and much more motivated to keep playing the violin, iv always loved this song, but you just made me fall head over hills with it now haha thanks for putting it on youtube.

[nicotrancetv]

[TheEmilyDaisy]

Wow. I've just stumbled on the best violinist on YouTube. :O

First of all, I love this song: It's so moving and inspiring. I'm a pianist but I've always wanted to try violin. Sadly, I don't have the time, but listening to this...is just...wow.

[hugoxcorpion]

a tear just ran down my cheek

[princesselaze]

you play the violin wonderfully............

[viomandg]

your vibrato is brilliant!!! you can really see the left hand move forward and backward when doing it :)

[yulikobe]

VERY NICE. Do you have the notes?

[Rikki91504]

So Much Passion in this song...it seems like you let the music consume you and let it guide you to lands far away

[yurimakoto]

this song reminded me the one I loved... I never got to say that I love him... We practiced this song together. Your song makes me cry... Makes me miss him a lot...

[russianfantastico]

This is like the most beautiful music I've ever heard before.

[KoyukiXSumi]

How long have you been playing violin for??? This is amazing! :D

[Laxoit]

since the violin lesson today, i can play it too :D :D :D

[TheAnonyy]

Alex is jerky to me whereas Ben sounds smooth. All music is played differently, but I do get the emotion in bens version. If it weren't for the jerkiness in Alex I could compare better, but I cant.

[LovelessesButterfly]

i cry every time i hear this

[micahdanielpettrey]

totally flawless. better that i can play it :)

[redrosegirl09]

[Amkii]

Ohhh I'm stupid, sorry. Thought he said 'written,' not 'requested.' Teehee. :)

[Amkii]

Hmm... I don't think that music was written by a YouTuber; I've heard it before, and I bought it off iTunes a while ago from a long-established artist.

[ebmanii]

Sounds like Kumiko Noma's Elfen Lied. very nice

[Mazen1hz]

this music is just incredible, it makes me feel so happy!

[6MemoryOfForever9]

ouf, you have no idea how attractive you look with that stand, that posture, and that playing! ^_^

[irisnayeli1994]

BEN TEACH MEEEEEEEEEE!! PLEASE!!

[quachingducks]

how the.... how can anyone dislike this... I don't know if its a joke or not.. I ask this every time I watch your Videos Ben, "how could anyone dislike this". oh and you're Chinese right?? your birthday is really lucky.. all 8's. :D great song Ben!

[lSzeSze]

@quachingducks Haha that was what i was thinking! "All 8's?! Wow! Lucky to have been born on that date."

[Dangodaikazokubychat]

its caled a vibrato , im actualy not good enough to do a vibrat still trying to figiour how to figiur how to do it lol

[pinkiris100]

You are an amazing violinist!!!! I love the songs you pick, congratulations on the wedding btw. She is a very lucky girl! Keep it up!

[ponchen9x]

could u teach me pls:

[ZOEANA7]

Ben I only found your videos today. You play so beautifully. I could listen for hours. Thank you for posting these.

[StrawberriiVivi]

Favorite song from your channel...! You have such a wonderful gift...

[dwaynedibbly]

I'm just starting to play now. What is the thing called where you 'shake' your hand up and down on the fingerings? I see there's tons of that on this one...looks like an 'advanced' technique :)

[wolfaction12]

@dwaynedibbly Oh well bravo to you and good luck with the instrument! The "shaking" of the hand is call Virbrato ( VER- bra-TOE) and yes it is a pretty advanced technique. Oh and dont just try to do virbrato because odds are you are going to do it wrong and end up making a bad habit. Anyways best of luck!

[wolfaction12]

@dwaynedibbly sorry I meant like dont try virbrato without instructions from a teacher or something XD

[TaylorSwift102]

That's my birthday too! :D

[Celtictomboy]

Very beautiful! You do a good job!! =)

[jenzkytrust]

hi mr. ben chan! i must say i am your newest fan! i am from the Philippines, and am just so proud I am an Asian like you. at least i have a distinct commonality with a genius.

[SOUTHWEST778]

COOLIO-ill see you when you get there,

[ilikevhalee]

Hi, I play violin for 8 years but I am a student when I saw your videos help much ... I love hearing I think they may one day play like you ... I admire you:)

[TheRylai]

GOODNESS gracious sir! Youre so good! I love your version. Im dying to play this on piano but I cant.. *sniff sniff* I have always loved the violin though I dont know how to play it. Super thumbs up! Good job! :)

[Anjidu]

o wow i cried >.<

it's amazing how wonderfully beautiful this

im so happy i live in a time that i actually had the chance to hear something so heart felt and done so amazing

[DeathAwaits187]

How could anyone dislike the emotion and soul you've drawn from the violin in this beautiful piece?!!!

[yihui514]

u are so good at this...

[Whitemoonsleeve]

I really---REALLY love how you play Ben Chan-sama!!!!! XD

I too am a violinist, and everytime I feel like I shouldn't play anymore, I always get inspired when you play!!! XD So thank you very much!!

[ruzzroozx3]

I myself am a violinist... I recently started my own youtube channel...

It brought a tear to my eyes because for some reason I remembered my grandmother <3

Thank you so much... I think I found what I am going to play for midterms on Monday<3 :)
