[ravenlord4]

Look at him -- he is having so much fun!

That's what life is all about. Great job, mate :)

[rey2103]

Chocolate Rain? :D

[coolknight93]

1 word: TALENT.

[zzausel]

There you easily found your limits.

[CorbettxD]

Fricking amazing.



[Bitchgottapeenis]

Damn you're good ;) keep it up !

[LilPoshPups]

the people who dislike this music have no taste!

[UltraFunOrb]

Yeah... Today I found the middle C... I think

[drepicpwn]

HOLY SHIT.

You can play like a fucking asian

[KillerBaka9]

I've always said I wanted Ray Mak's hands.

But now I might just change my mind.

[THISISROBLOX1]

HE HAS SURPASSED THE 14 YEAR OLD KOREAN KID!

[darkgeneral88]

This comment was typed in the past.

[BuggaBu52]

ASIAN LEVEL!

[JTruth9419]

*mind blown*

[shwoppdiddy]

bahahaha his face :)

[JadElClemens]

The Chords are a bit rough (as in, they don't transition well). It's a bit late for a five year-old video, though.

[supersmash435]

this song is really an inspirational song to me and to millions of other people.and i believein this great country of ours tay zonday will go down in history like michael jackson thank god tay zonday came to our world to srpead inspirational music i salute you tay zonday.

[supersmash435]

this is tays first video ever

[chappa62]

Damn dude, you rock.......or roll, or whatever you want to call it. Just keep doing it!!!!!

[don1carter]

Exhale, Dude. Well done. Your fingers look too short to do what they just did. This was really spellbinding. And you seemed to enjoy doing it. That made it especially nice.

[officialEggnogs]

God called, he wants his hands back :P

[TheAngryAmericanwon]

superior performance..

[ittybittytimmy]

He looks so happy

[ARandomAmerican]

Epic fingers... nuff said...

[IskevaNimi]

I like the way he starts smiling when playing the fast part. :-DD

[TanUv90]

Pachelbel's Canon is the best classical music piece ever

[ThatChinkGuy]

This is an ear-gasm.

[StoopidChair]

Why did that one with the kid playing guitar get more views than this?

[Boasill]

@StoopidChair Because it's AWESOME! not saying that this isn't. People just like guitar more.

[Supersomonerandom]

So beautiful. I f*cking cried when I heard this. Superb job, Tay.

[xQKXCaRnAgEx]

why does it sound so familiar, anyway you've got one more subscriber

[MsCreeper97]

Just look at his face.

Pure enjoyment.

I love you, good sir.

[JBmaster93]

There's a name for anyone who dislikes Tay's vids, an ignorant d-bag

[GodSubscriber]

He looks really happy.

[Jennypospi]

BEAUTIFUL PLAYING !!!!!!!!!!

[Dab7291993]

This belongs in Pokemon Blue..that is a compliment btw

[BisonBeauty13]

this is soooooo good how dare anyone dislike this

there just a waste of space for disliking it

he has a great gift of the voice and piano

amazing everytime

[Linuxme901]

@BisonBeauty13 I'd disagree with you

[BrookParkour]

Wow, it said the sheet music is to the RIGHT of the video :D. Old video, almost 700k views.

[frostiezizcold4]

this da Z-mix right here! Dis yo boy Tay Zonday wid da cannon Z jammin it on da piano! He is da shiznit here boi!

[ponch01966]

tay i think you should do more piano music. this is so beautiful. do more on your latest videos please! this is such a wonderful piece :)

[roxieadiiek]

its like it's on fast forward..what fast hands and fingers you have..amazing!

[BirkettProductions]

Brilliant 

[GattoFresco]

It's a bit sloppy and i don't think it transitions well between parts but overall, a pretty damn cool piece.

[BenjaminL96]

Where is the "love" button?

[eKate0991]

I just fell in love.

[HiTiiimmmm]

omg! :o wow...

[falcoboy3221]

Great song. Always cheers me up.

[koobydotnet]

This is how I found Tay Zonday originally.

[zeta12ti]

Dynamics?

Musicianship is more than a catchy tune, technical virtuosity or meaningful lyrics. While you clearly have technical skills, these skills must not be used as a hammer, but rather used as a file, delicately shaping each phrase uniquely.

[MasterX14y]

.. XD Will Tht is Hes first video WAW! :D

[ccinbrooklyn]

My goodness. That was absolutely stunning. Creative and unique yet retains the classic qualities of Cannon by Pachebel. One of the best Cannon arrangements.

That's perfect.

[kayypeex]

no way is he 28 !? hes amazing :)

[Estelikour]

First 30 seconds: Meh

Rest of song: HOLY MOLY ADKFHADSKH??????

[kigu321321]

wow.. you want me to play piano so badly =D

Hmm, Z scale, i wonder what H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X and Y scales are...

[AGuyAndAGun]

This is his best work in my opinion ;)

[JeffJordProductions]

that was truly amazing :D

[MsCrhen]

Wat's tat on the right side ?! o.o ><

[HiMyNameIsSid123]

@MsCrhen lmaoo a chinese sword of some type :P

[MsCrhen]

@HiMyNameIsSid123 look like ''something'' @@

[gryndylow1]

@1DJKABA He plays with Swag

[bigdog11311]

you are very talented!

[peppersad]

this is incredible

[JungleHyjinx]

this deserves more views

[AnimeMangaLover2304]

fast...-^.^-



[fisheyerocks]

just awesome man

HAX

[Godsux07]

@METandBPM43v3r My username should not offend you enough to make you comment about it. If you believe strongly enough about your own beliefs anyway. I really could talk forever about why i'm atheist..... but there is no point..... and you are the only person who has actually said anything about it, meaning you lack legitimate support for the reasoning behind your comment about my username. So please, for future references butt the hell out unless you have a reason to insult me. >_>

[xANTHQNY]

@Godsux07 Nice username (Y)

[Op3d]

a real piano would be a huge improvement

[xdeek122xx]

@Op3d agreed :)

[metalmaster126]

The most beautiful of all his videos, and the one with the least views, sucks...

[AlbertRonzo]

@1DJKABA

Why?

[CeddyPopOfficial]

this was made before chocolate rain ????!!!!

[ryansilversimpson]

Ok, this guy is really goofy in some of his videos, but I actually really enjoyed this one!

[AlbertRonzo]

Que genio eres, coño, ese final me dice que entiendes mi vida, no se por qué!!

[benetluxe91]

LOL at the beginning sounds like toy soldiers on mah keyboard!

[AlphaInfernoAttack]

how old is he

[Godsux07]

@AlphaInfernoAttack 28 now. He'll always look like 10 years younger than he is though it seems. The video was released in 2007.

[TehDeathRider]

Z is my favourite scale. :P

[Alexx693]

Today he is is 29, Here he is 26/27

[OhhSnap03]

I am totally hiring him to play this at my wedding whenever I get married. SCREW TRADITION!!

[oonwasad]

Chuck norris can play this by his nose.

[WKaznartist]

Incredible, the way you played it shows so much spirit and love in Pachelbel's piece.

[Eltholoxa]

How old is he?

[figglesnorf9]

This is an amazing peice of music, but you wanna know what made the video for me? your SMILE not only doe sit show you love what you do, but it's just EPIC.

I love your smile~ :3

[winterofeina]

i never heard canon this alive!

and what's more?

there's a smile on your face!

meaning you're really into it!

love it!

great job!

[Spongebobvideopants]

wow he looks so happy :3

[NoRefundsXD]

@Spongebobvideopants dude, when you're playing the piano you have to show emotion and that's what he was doing :)

[Spongebobvideopants]

@NoRefundsXD i know, he enjoys playing the music

[markusthefarkus1]

@NoRefundsXD depends on what you mean by that....smiling doesn't mean your playing the song with emotion...just means your smiling while playing. conversely because you don't smile doesn't mean you don't play the song with emotion..a pianist...or rather musician's objective is not to communicate with the face (minus singers) but rather through the music itself and the way it is played. Though i think this guy plays with passion it isn't because of his smile; i don't watch videos when its music.

[markusthefarkus1]

@markusthefarkus1 so i can get that euphoric feeling straight from the music and not have my emotions muddled by how the person looks. i close myself off to the music itself. so again depends what you mean....

[vanessalopezACTRIZ]

oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are awesome!!!



[superpokemaster12]

This song always makes me want to sleep......

[MyNameXsaga]

you're awesome o_O

[biggdaddy2001]

i play this on handbells



[iabsoriw433]

Props Bro! Well done!

[conzy112]

try singing about chocolate rain to this punk!

[fisheyerocks]

this is impossible to dislike so i think the red group of 434 either hit the wrong button or they are jealous of piano players like yourself like i am but i hit like every time i watch it :)

[Shorty111R]

In high school, a friend and I were in piano class, and we printed out the sheet music, and typed every note into some software our school had, then played the whole song, and almost learned the whole thing before we ran out of time. Awesome.

[MisterSenseless]

Tay,

You are such an incredible musician and a very talented songwriter.

[SirCopiesNames]

Link doesn't work D:

[Deadflesh642]

epic fail

[SirCopiesNames]

@Deadflesh642 How?

I dont actually know how it should sound so I don't know if it is a fail or not.

[0v1i1i]

you play too fast. but still good.

[SirCopiesNames]

@0v1i1i Proof of his skill?d:

[odat83]

That was a great rendition of one of the most beautiful songs ever. I can only imagine how good it feels to make that music happen. It's clear from the look on his face that it must be pretty amazing.

[LetsMakeFans]

Will you look at that smile on his face :)

[0rac343]

432 people who can't play piano.

[861147]

Wow, very good arrangement!

[sk8m4f14]

he seems so happy playing... I've never seen him frown!

Douchebag: "Chuck Norris made Tay Zonday cry once."

[thatdudeyouhate1]

add werds to it

[02punkrocker]

I could play only the 1st 20 bars of this song haha I'm still trying my best to finish it hahaha but never will surpass him haha he is amazing hahah

[crw45able]

fantastic mate! talented does not describe it. the people who gave you thumbs down prob didn't listen past the first 10 seconds

[clgunter1]

epic

1 word ; WOW.

[Azxghostx100]

im in love....

[all4meandyou]

his face is epic in the whole video

[TheSilentSwordsmen]

@all4meandyou indeed he looks super happy.

[MADDIEROCKS46]

432 people are jealous they can't play as good as Tay. YOU ROCK ON TAY!!!!!!!!!!

[Godsux07]

Perfect. I love how he keeps grinning through out the whole song (:

btw am i the only one who thinks that he looks way younger then 28?

[ultradinosaur123]

@Godsux07 no.

[r4pkid]

@Godsux07 looks like he's 14....xD

[nativeftw]

@Godsux07 HE'S 28?!

[SyntheticBlackstar]

@Godsux07 this is from 2007 dude..

[ninetalesnaruto1]

@Godsux07 i thought he was 16

[TacoToastify]

1080HD upload please

[TheSilentSwordsmen]

@TacoToastify Sorry your request is denied, the reason is that 1080p is overrated :P

[lizzieeed1]

431 people arent straight up cool kids brooooooo.

what wrong

[fisheyerocks]

amazing man, seems like we all write our true masterpieces when we are still so young. listening to this and seeing you play it brings me back to when i had a deep passion to write but how it fades as life hardens our souls and drains us of the love we love the most.

[MADDIEROCKS46]

@fisheyerocks i agree.

[Ghihjk]

He looks so happy haha id feel accomplished if i was doing that also

[2308muffin]

wow ur hands r so fast

[v3kas]

your hands sooooo fasttt.....good job!!!

[thepromman]

the only thing i noticed is that sometimes your beats are slightly off.

but that's hardly noticeable and overall it's beastly :)

[xdeek122xx]

@thepromman thats only because the song is so amazing that even the creator is faulty at it :)

[thepromman]

@xdeek122xx too true

[erythineverpfect]

Damn!!!!!!!!!

[DarrenSparlin]

haha mad skills on the piano as well. man is this guy awesome or what

[M1random5L]

Wow you are really talented! ;3

[1euphplayer]

@JRUJR You know your argument would be better if you didn't end it in lrn2english.

[TheArtOfDoucheBagery]

Amazing!

[therennies54]

He makes it look so easy... and I know it is not :-) what talent

[deathstryker666]

You literally just blew my mind. I'd pretty much give my left testicle to be that proficient at anything. You are seriously the MAN! Your extrapolation managed to be unique in it's own right, yet payed homage to the original. It was recognizable as a "tribute" of sorts, but still stands on it's own. Great work from a great talent!

[GrimReaperNr1]

Thumbs up if you think he should play it much darker

[tombrady87]

@1DJKABA Might be because he's listening through the headphones. Or somebody should hit his reset button.

[ultimatenerd22]

TOO FAST AT THE BEGINNING.

[SebastianBoldt]

He plays with no feeling . IMAO it really sucks ..

[RyanSufc1997]

It's beatiful and makes me wanna cry for some resion ( im a kid btw) its like music to my ears. oh wait! it is music. And a great job at that, i keep pressing the repite button

[Zoleroable]

You better just play piano, and stop singing. or atleast without ur face on the clips you make :P

[sobershock]

The sheet music for this is straight-up nuts.

[thephor]

SUCH A SPIRITITUALIZED RIP OFF

[ogadlyindisbitch]

OH SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!! :O

[tree6958]

brilliant

[bestcanoncameras]

Entertaining video. Thanks..

[PenguinJoker]

Very good!

[TypicalGam3r]

Pachelbel would be proud! Please make more videos like this!

[dughmo]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueisawesome1292]

Brilliant composition but where's the emotion.... It needs some volume changes...its all forte..the beginning should be softer

[FunkyMonky1171]

@blueisawesome1292

I think he's playing on a keyboard, even if he wanted too it would all come out at the same volume unless he edited it, which would be kinda cheating.

[Phranz0r]

@FunkyMonky1171 Modern keyboards (and digital pianos like these) are touch sensitive.

[FunkyMonky1171]

@Phranz0r

I guess mine sucks then :(

[Phranz0r]

@FunkyMonky1171 It would still make a great organ! ;-)

[Kelarik]

Very nice arrangement, but I can't help but feel that it'd have been better if you had a metronome pumping through those headphones, the erratic tempo didn't do your work any justice.

[kaziboy264]

lol at the speedy hands

[Bangel911]

you look so happy at the end! Good job, like jesus this is incredibly fast but flows well the way you arranged it!

[dayanguitar]

@pacman79790  its so familiar because its from the real song by Johann Pachelbel got it?

[pacman79790]

0:27 to 0:37, the left hand, why does it sound so familiar

[AronAgmar]

This is Tay's BEST stuff right here! I wish you'd do more of it Tay. So beautiful!

[Guillen41495]

your alsome Tay

[timpetee1]

Not Good!!!

[twinkie999]

love, but how is it original? you just took the song everybody knows and sped it up/ slowed it down and altered in different ways. two thumbs up on your performance of this 'original'

[techskater107]

@twinkie999 Original RE-arrangement... Listen once again, it's not just speed ups but he changed a LOT...

Durr.

[twinkie999]

@techskater107 YOU shut the fuck up

[techskater107]

@twinkie999 You're telling me to shut the fuck up, simply for correcting you?

You're weak.

[tokee1234567]

@twinkie999 it says original classic. meaning he took the original and made an arrangement of it. plz read the title

[twinkie999]

@tokee1234567 you shut the fuck up as well. pussy

[JRUJR]

@twinkie999 "original ARRANGEMENT" dumbass, arrangement = speeding it up, slowing it down, and otherwise altering it in different ways, that's the ***ING definition of arrangement, lrn2english
