[kaloncar]

Tragic loss like soooo many others in the fast lane.

[iluvriver93]

this is a song that makes me happy and sad at the same time! I love River <3

[BETTYPOISON1]

He was pure talent!

[mstiatiarra21]

I absolutely love yann tiersen and to have my favorite composer along with an actor whom my heart aches for just brought me to tears. Thumbs up. I usually hate tributes on youtube because its so rare you come across beautiful peaces like this. Good job.

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

Rivers dialogue: ""I dont know what i am doing but i love you""....

[thatgrrlvp]

yes, it is,and my heart is in my throat each time time i see this film or remeber it-any of it. it's a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

[DejaReee]

whats the real piece he played in the movie??

[vegemitebaby82]

It's Mozart Fantasy in C Minor...

[celesteghostship]

If you want to see a brilliant animated short to this song type in "the piano" it shows an elderly man remembering his youth etc. Incredibly done to a breathtaking piece of music.

[iloveRiverP98]

omg i cry in the last scene as well coz his face is soo sad and it make me cry :( rip you you will always be missed xxxx

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

I cry at the end of the movie too!!!! And when they play Fire and Rain song my heart breaks,,, river is sooo BEAUTITUL!!! HE SHOULD HAVE WON THE OSCAR!!! Colleen

[InTheCornerDunce]

The look on River's face in that last scene, when his family drives away...it makes me cry every time.

Very well put-together and lovely piano.

[louise200683]

That isn't the piano song he played in the movie, nice clip though.

[sandyclaws29]

I love this movie. When I first saw it it really grabbed my attention and I got one of my first glimpses of River Phoenix. You could tell there was something very sensitive and sincere about him, not just an actor, but as a human being. That's the impression I got , anyway. The music went so well with the scenes from the movie, and, I thought I was going to cry, especially when seeing him and knowing that he's no longer wth us.

[LovelyPennyLane]

Aww river why you have to die why :(

i miss you cutie , i love all your movies x

you are a Star xxx love you lots and lots

[rikki444]

brilliant video.

[girly303]

[choco1154]

Comptine D'un Autre ete by Yann Tiersen

[IMSOMNIAamnesia]

[RunyonGrn07]

[girly303]

[girly303]

someone please post this movie i want tosee it so bad

[LovelyPennyLane]

River is Amazing xoxox

[kaffeefreak91]

I love this video, it's great. River Phoenix was such a great actor, his films are so great, I love My own privat Idaho with Keanu Reeves and stnad by me but sneakers is also very good.

RIP

[qwertyproulx]

A lovely movie. But to uphold the good name of the school, I must say it is impossible to pass the Juilliard auditions with such a level of piano playing. Still, it really is River Phoenix performing Mozart; the guy had so much talent. It is such a shame that he died so young.

[noeprayer]

im sorry you said that he is not playing the piano and now you say that he is .I don't understand is he playing or not?????I THINK HE IS BECAUSE HE COULD PLAY PIANO BUT MAYBE IM WRONG!!!!by the way the movie is lovable GREATFUL i saw it 8 or 9 years ago and i love it i would like to see it again!!!!!!!!!Well bye.River IS wondreful i love him!!!Noelia from Arg.

[qwertyproulx]

I said he did play the piano in the film; Mozart, to be specific. But what we are hearing on this Youtube video is not from the film. It's from Amelie and is played by someone else.

[noeprayer]

Ah!!!!!ok!!! i knew that he was playiing the piano!!!!!thanks for asked my question..Noelia from Arg.

[SadiyaV]

ohhh k! I just saw Amelie and looooved it! I heard the tune in the movie and thought it was from Running on Empty but I guess its just from this video then:) thanks for posting

[LoiterLo]

River was great in this film and desevered his oscar nomination, shame he didn't win.

RIP River.

[Odymull]

This video was very well done and summernightmare93 sums him up very well. Peace. RIP.

[1Anettka6]

i love you River :'(  i miss you..

[LoveRiverPhoenix]

[cuxca]

shut up,bimbo.

[LovelyPennyLane]

why should I

[summernightmare93]

wonderful,thank you. most of young river's movie was not only for kids. He was such a creature with maturity,delicacy,and sadness.

[ph0enixflash]

Ouais Camille en fait c'est pas River qui joue si j'ai bien compris ^^

C'est la chanson d'Amélie POulain *grave déçue*

[19aag90]

ouais, t'savais que l'homme qui l'a écrite est francais. vous n'avez jamais vu Amélie?

[lafanatique05]

Trop sublime

Aussi bien River que la musique =P

[NewKidsBabe]

That's amazing. It's so beautiful, yet so simplistic, everything's so innocent. The music is gorgeous, as is River. Thank you so much. That's just, wow... amazing.

[AnitaClaireMiller]

Great.

[toured87]

Perfect use of the Amelie soundtrack

[billford2593]

[DaNcEwItHmEeMo]

 Increadable!!!!

[rayva1]

His own tribute?

[RunyonGrn07]

I've heard the song, just didnt think it was in the actual movie. Thanx ;)

[anne9]

no, it´s not the real song. i tried to synchronize the clips with yann tiersens "comptine d'un autre ete" (you can find the song on the sountrack for the movie "amelie")

[Kuroniro]

You did a little too good of a job in my opinion...Lol.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. This has done wonders for me on my off moods. ^^

[RunyonGrn07]

Is that really the song being played in the movie or did u put it there yourself?

[sweeethallucinations]

my favorite piano solo, i aspire to make this beautiful music someday!

[altruistjd]

what is the name of this song? and by whom?

[anne9]

the name of the song is "Comptine D'un Autre ete" and it´s by yann tiersen

[Kuroniro]

This is amazing. The music is beautiful and made feel at peace. It's well performed and brought out by River Phoenix. I can tell he understood the melody and the melancholy behind it.

[qwertyproulx]

River Phoenix did not play this piece in the movie.

[StellianAriolus]

I know

[aleuberio]

Impressing...God, what a wonderful River!...
