[skcltf]

[jackthebassist13]

this song is actually by the police. shame on you

[OrphicMusic]

@jackthebassist13 good, someone said it. i was about to start yelling at people.

[DwarfElfZombie]

@OrphicMusic

Hey dumbass look at the title he gives credit to The Police, moron.

[OrphicMusic]

@DwarfElfZombie hey nerd, go suck yourself off and stop trolling.

[DwarfElfZombie]

@OrphicMusic

You're the one trolling.

[OrphicMusic]

@DwarfElfZombie he changed the video title you fucking idiot.

[DwarfElfZombie]

@OrphicMusic

Cool story bro.

[OrphicMusic]

@DwarfElfZombie obvi trolllll

[DwarfElfZombie]

@OrphicMusic

You're the troll for coming onto someone's video and posting crap. Enjoy the music kid, and get a life would you? LOL you're jokes.

[OrphicMusic]

[DwarfElfZombie]

@OrphicMusic

Why you mad bro?

[ghostgal007]

i got tears from this

[Adiagoh]

hearing this made me cry a little. ;_; it's just so beautiful.

[04rawlings]

This is so amazing that I now have to pee.

[thedumbasschannell]

10 people are beliebers.

[danifilthomnomnom]

Did you know he's my uncle? Probably, because I've commented this on most of his videos, quite frankly because I'm so proud to have an uncle as talented as him.

[mocikecske]

@danifilthomnomnom my bf and i saw him in york and we didnt realise he was such a well known musician, we were blown away with his tallent, he is truly fantastic. next time you see him tell him that his music is really an inspiration to those lucky enough to see him in york on a sunny afternoon. xxx

[sixstringslinger85]

@danifilthomnomnom PLEASE tell me this is true... My friends would LOVE to book him for a wedding if he does that sort of thing?? We all grew up near Chester and used to spend hours watching him play.

[danifilthomnomnom]

@sixstringslinger85 Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm sure he does do that kind of thing, seeing as he did at Grandad's funeral. I don't live near him, as he's up north and I'm in Kent, but next time I'm around I'll ask him if he'd play at weddings/parties etc. (:

[spikeblade57]

He is God

[EuxinPontus]

who the fuck are that ten pieces of shit who dislike this pure magic?

[StatonVideos]

I feel like I should cry AWSOME!!!!

[tulapi123]

The original song was about a stalker, two generations from now it will be completely twisted out of it's original form and forgotten as it was.

[Hrisant1]

amazing!

[KUNGfuSUSHI92]

Amazing.

[rohaantje]

ghost bumps every where on my body

[DulDulWiii]

cual sinfonia de caricias un violin ha hablado

[samsombersimba]

Mind blowing



[TheXxbgfxx]

this it from heaven:D

[OneHunted]

i was looking for this song

thank god i find it :D

[fingerstyleguitarman]

You can see Ed Alleyne-Johnson busking in Chester on most Saturdays and it is very fine to see and listen . . .

[seriousgamer94]

this is my god

[manosskull]

POLICE my friend POLICE..;-)

[chumbeman]

excelente cancion y excelente interpretacion con violin

[koosjevanmaaren]

9 people just have take the last breath.

[DwarfElfZombie]

This is real music.

[jaybugo]

9 people are going to hell

[vlegall63]

@jaybugo 9 people dislike and they will rot in hell for that hmmm lolstfu and just listen the music plz

[wedge99]

How can I find out where and when he will be playing? I fancy a bit of a road trip to see him play!

[Killerneedle12546]

lol why does it say "I'll be missing you" by fag daddy when its clearly the police, every breath you take.

dont compare a beautiful piece of music to a retarded "rap" artist

[norsetenen]

@Killerneedle12546 The main reason I think the bands should sue the shit out of the rap studios that borrow or remake as rap songs.. then everytime you hear it it's "Oh that's a P. Didderific" or some nonsense. Do people really want to hear Metallica done Crunk style? lol

[Srrnkro]

@norsetenen

Using a sample from a song doesn't detract from the quality of the original piece. I can think of many examples of music where I enjoy both the original and covers/remixes/sampled songs, too. If musicians weren't able to borrow from each other then things would quickly stagnate. Personally, if i like a piece of music, i like to hear it used in a variety of ways.

Copying is the sincerest form of flattery.

[ps34evah]

@Srrnkro That is a good point you make for the existence of copying, however I think that especially mainstream pop/rock songs are copying too much. I feel that originality kind of gets lost in all the coverhypes.

[Eliza6811]

This Man Is Simply Amazing,I Can`t Get Enough!!Beautiful!!!!

[TheVentusVanitas]

he needs to keep his tiny beard. it fits his playing style. i mean, you would never expect a man like him to play such incredible music!

[electricprunes1]

i think i just found the perfect cure for kids with hyper activity disorder!

[abcdefghijk1234525]

this is pretty awesome stuff so why isn't this in the charts?

[talldiesel]

Puff daddy didnt write this song!! LOL ,

[xoboyxxcrazyxo]

i feel like crying. i love this guy. he's 100%, no doubt, an absolute genius!! i wish i could play like him.

[olivermichael88]

while i wholeheartedly agree that many should hand in their humanity membership cards i do feel a small sense of peace and tranquility knowing that i dont have to share this bliss with the unworthy. it may sound un human but im selfish when it comes to music if people can not appreciate it then they are not worth the music. music has he power to bring together and divide and the ones who are divided by it can stay away and find peace and tranquility in their own interpritations. kthnxbye!

[IamDaniellaRae]

No instrument can pour that much emotion into one note apart from this...its so emotional it makes you want to smile and cry, to laugh and howl, to cheer and gasp. Its just magic.

This is music, not that stupid stuff by lady gaga. THIS IS IT!!! The magic every girl wishes for in life, this is the closest it has brought me to heaven.

[dustin21fin]

@amoniana what the hell is wrong with you? you're saying that bieber has good music? on par with ed alleyne johnson? turn in your humanity membership card; you don't deserve it. actually, scratch that; felixcruzazul - he has 300 million views? heh, never mind. keep your card. i'm throwing mine away. i want to be no part of humanity if they're REALLY THIS F***ING STUPID

[Eddy2871991]

A few months ago, I found the video "Ed busking Chester" here on Youtube.. I can't stop listening to his breathtaking music ever since. It's unbelievably amazing what he does..

[KelThuzad07sl]

It's Sting not Puff Daddy

[amoniana]

siento que estoy flotandoooooo

[felixcruzazul]

how can justen beber get 300 million views and this only 113 000 

[amoniana]

@felixcruzazul because justin is handsome but Ed alleyne has a nice music and justin too i don't know omg zzzzzzzzzzzz

[felixcruzazul]

@amoniana yup typical women

[xUxDontxKnowxMex]

@felixcruzazul Excuse me? That makes no sense! I hate that justin kid to, but it's kinda lame to say that, that comment is typical for women only... -_- 

[felixcruzazul]

@xUxDontxKnowxMex it makes perfect scenes 

[xUxDontxKnowxMex]

@felixcruzazul No it doesn't men are also capable of making lame comments as that...

[ZelenaBananaa]

@amoniana lol nhf but you are retarded.

[andyowens01]

why ed isnt more world widely famous is a mystery too me

[DevPack]

wow..

[DevPack]

he is DAM good

[bassguitarist]

If you're not already floored, 2:36 will get you there.

[neonwind]

The Allen Moore of the electric violin!

[neonwind]

He's just so good!

[Harmony617]

Wow amazing playing !

[DazedConfused1969]

so many sounds can be made with a violin you dont expect it, wow.

[superantichristlover]

Every Breath I take! Every Move I make! I've been watched Over all of my life like a Hawk or an Eagle even! I've been under somebodies wings all of it for sure!

I can't even begin to figure out who's wings I've been under all of this time!

[UKzBaDBwoii]

that is my funeral song and omg that is so bloody amazing xx

[starkas]

Nice :)

[IamBruna2]

PURE ART!!!

[GibyAli]

just cool :D and I adore his violin, it´s so cute, like a little electric guitar o.O I love him

[MissDivine132]

I just ADORE this chap and have done since I first heard him in the 90's. I wish someone in the music industry would actually SEEand APPRECIATE his unique talent which ranks, IMHO, along with Mike Oldfield! XXXX

[draakmanz]

sjesus this is super !! goosebumbs and very chilling

[ValikBanzai]

oh boy... i nearly cryed =) really touching music, great artist

[thisismuralim]

oh what a pleasant  music .

[raetselAO]

comment il assure trop, c'est abusé

[Heanor]

Awesome!!!

[MrDrakemontajes]

nice one=)

[Sn3kz]

Fuck the uploader of this video for almost placing a rating of 1 on this amazing cover song for the horrendously stupid act of attributing the original to puff crappy.

[Fromzon]

what are you talking about? rating 1? where?

i think you just hovere with your mouse over the 5 stars under the video giving it a 1 value, for your eyes, but in fact it has 5 stars and 218 people voted ;-)

[leonyeahbuddy1987]

i first saw Ed performing whilst sat on a bench on my dinner break eating a prawn sandwhich.......i was blown away,i literally floated back into work that day, wot an awesome talent!

[russelllfc]

I love this comment!

[maamrhcp]

oh i fall in love with this song by his cover

[Einherjar29]

I think no other instrument is so capable of a range of emotion as the violin. And I honestly think this is the best cover of this Police classic that I have ever heard.

[asiar1234567]

cool ;)

[celenduil]

Did you know he made the violin himself :)

[messalion]

@celenduil yes :)) - and his violin has the same structure and basics as the guitar

[silverpaul]

@celenduil with a breadknife if rumour is to be believed....

[LoneWolfOnTheHeights]

@silverpaul I think it was maybe sharper than a bread knife, although considering the depth of the mans genius I wouldn't be surprised haha. Also his amps and pedals run off solar power how awesome is that!

[TheVentusVanitas]

@celenduil custom 5 string! incredible!

[RippedJolt]

@celenduil Just to add to what celenduil said ^ ^

he carved it out at home with a kitchen knife =]

[celenduil]

@RippedJolt very true indeed, imagine the time that went into it

[fauxsham]

@celenduil with a carving knife ;o)

[celenduil]

@fauxsham also, it has 5 strings not the usual 4 :D

[cheesewheel08]

wow, im not sure if i should talk more about how impressed i am with his playing or how ashamed i am that you think this was a puff daddy song

[reed00112]

Puff did use the track in his song "ill be missing you" which he wrote about biggie smalls when he was murdered. Real powerful stuff

[cheesewheel08]

i know he did, and how much that bothers me is another issue. but the problem is that people give puff credit for coming up with it as his original

[Eshidu1]

Oh my goodness, this is so lovely!

[dzesus]

zajebiste!

[Dasf2]

ownz0r

[4yalltube]

mannn! you kill it with this one!

[Katela30]

this is not puff daddy, that ched covered the song which was originally sang by the Police,

[DarkLoveFashion]

la voy a tocar con mi violin

[destructiveone66]

the man is a master

[TeeeTooO]

se va al carajo

[MANI69171]

Ed alleyne-johnson transforma la canción para llevarnos de la mano a los cielos junto a ella, es magia si la escuchas detenidamente y veras que pronto te embarcas en ella, el amor es tan maravillo, solo el amor puede darnos cosas como estas, porque es puro, simple, sencillo, natural y es grande.

Amigo, te pasaste con esta interpretación, sabes, ¡eres genial!.

[marynyl]

wow

[kaDorg]

AMAZING!

[titoelcapo1]

very good!! from argentina

[ancientlegend92]

A legend!

[Jamsco991]

Saw this guy live playing this song in York.....he is absolutly unbelivable... as soon as i heard him i had to buy his CD Echoes.....this guy can bring tears to your eyes....like Ginger33333 said you can watch this man for hours and still b amazed..

[777SANTIAGO]

ojala yo pudiese tocar mejor que el jjejejej seria genial tenerme en casa y poder tocar isnpirado. le felicito y me alegro por el,todo comienzo es dificil, ama las cosas que haces asi no veas resultados enseguidas confiando plenamente en Dios y te escuchara.

[Bag998]

OMG! IT'S AWESOME!

[MartynaHerself]

absolutely AMAZING! he's great, big, one and only :)

[vertus1000]

OMGGGGG :D BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[devski6]

This song is so sorrowful all by itself, but with the melancholy of the violin....simply heartshaking.

[Czosnkowainwazja]

Dont forget....This is not puff fak sri didydi, puff, shawn, com cunt comb daddy...This is STING, One and Only.

[Ginger33333]

I saw this guy while on holiday in York last monday and I was blown away, I stood against a tree and watched him for ages!

Wish I'd said hi to him now lol...

[se5d]

dude, is polular in all over the world

[DcBstArchilD]

Beautiful!

[seiya891]

This is fantastic

[ELFODAS]

Gänsehaut pur....echt der Hammer...

[naddelnischi]

yeah im from germany too and i totaly agree with

MUSICisTHEbestFORme because:

i play the violin too but i dont have fun with it, but if i could learn something like that or just hear something like that i would practice every day

[MUSICisTHEbestFORme]

I have also an electric violin, but it has only 4 strings, would be nice to have a 5th string..

If you don't have fun with playing classic violin, you could buy an amplifier (there are also cheap ones) and an electric violin, I promise, thats so cool to play, you can't stop!

Excuse me, we could also talk in German, but so other people can also read this (;

[naddelnischi]

yeah oke english is better.

i told my mom she should buy me one and she just said: oke when you promise to practice...you can have it

ich meklde mich wenn ich ein hab;)

hast du einen?

[MUSICisTHEbestFORme]

yes, I have an amplifier (Verstärker) and an electric violin, okay, tell me when you have your violin

viele grüße

[MUSICisTHEbestFORme]

He should come to Germany, I would like to see him live, I love his music, he's really great

[DahliaFall]

Beautiful

[ibewintrinsic]

perfect!

[TrollSniffer]

What a mint cover of a mint song 5 Stars

[Tinedenys]

PRACHTIG

[LuckyLee589]

This Is Amazing ! ! !

Would Love To See Him Live, Love The Electric Violin ! ! !

[durhamsshadybean]

He can be found most weekend 'busking' in the centre of Chester. He's amazing in person, works a whole piece up from scratch layering it and playing loops from foot pedals. It's amazing to watch.

[JuMp002]

i loved seeing him in Chester when i lived nearer. Bought 3 albums of him lol.

He's amazing, i got to touch the violin XD

[ikutololita]

Could it be possible to put those songs on my psp or mp3 if I buy some CD's because I dun have a CD player, ow maybe I have but it's not so handy?

[Durahan]

yes. just use audio grabber (google it). it grabs the songs from the cd and converts them into mp3 on your computer ;)

[imenton]

perdonatemi..ma sticazzi che genio !!

[jjtop3650]

simply amazing. u guys should hear orange

[ChuckMullis]

Awesome, never heard an electric violin played through a phase pedal.

[sofiainred]

Great post..!

Fantastic performance..! I love it.

Thanks so much for sharing it.

I added to my favourites.

[1234souli]

BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBaumwolle]

Come to Munich!!

[jonatan9505]

he has gone

[seiya891]

It's the first time i listen to this guy. I have one single word AMAZING.

[ConfinedSpaces]

SAME blew my mind,oh yes AMAZING for sure!

[leadroy]

I once saw band in oxford called Raindance, they were really great and I think Ed played in the band, he definitely designed the album cover for them. needless to say they were amazing! that was back in the 80's I think.

[BaronZantorian]

Maybe he just does it because it is his passion rather than for the money. :D

[DreadLaw2]

Nah, every time i watch him in york, like every time he plays and buy his albums, i always ask about his aspirations and he'd love to hit big just to spread the music.

[bruntonblue22]

i have met ed many times he is a very talented person and a true gentleman. keep it up ed. see you soon,

[Phidippides03]

einfach nur schön!!!

[eelkerients]

Sound from the heaven above!!!!

[bullnewmarket]

please come to Newmarket and play in the garden at The Bull

[Roysin2006]

amazing

[mhuber3483]

this guy has been all over new york city for the passed month and a half. i saw him at grand central terminal and penn station almost daily. its def a treat, he draws a crowd and tons of cheers

[Tracibop7]

good god....

[DaDosDude]

Because he posted it on multiple ed youtube videos xD

[iPOLLUTE]

The world is a Bastard to great Men like Ed

[fatboybozo]

please come back to chester ed :( i miss your violinnning even though i have all the cd's :'(

[jezelljr]

him and the great ronald jenkees would be smashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this violin is so beutiful......

[molike]

i wish i had the range of facial hair Mr. Johnson exhibits....

[AldrinCoolFool]

Ed alleyne johnson is 1 of the greatest underrated underappreciated violin players ever. Any1 from any music group will apreciate the sounds of Ed. Too bad, he's not heavily advertised, as the crappy music we are forced to listen to here in the U.S.

This man should be playing in very big concert halls, not in the streets. He probably will make it big someday, and he should, because the world would love every single ed alleyne johnson originals. GO ED!

[Patton6263]

maybe he wants to play on the streets... maybe he one of those rare breeds of musicians who honestly plays because he honestly enjoys doing so, and he doesn't want the money.

[zamo1512]

i agree

[odeliah101]

@AldrinCoolFool  yeah their are so many amazing people from other places diffferent from th U.S. I think it's stupid how they mainly advertise pop and rock bands. No techno, no country, nothing els.

[96axeman111]

@AldrinCoolFool I agree except I feel that if he wasn't playing in the streets it would kinda ruin the magic.

[Arapaho53]

...This guy is beyond words. I LOVE the art, heart, and soul, of his work!!!

[sweetanddivinefoo]

he's absolutly AWESOME!! always see him in york when im there which is almost every weekend amd i just love to stand and watch him!!!!

[antheadh]

i just love him, i admire him very much
