Keiko Matsui - Water Lily

[The6473031]

I am sure 200,000 of the 266,956 views is from me :)

[starfuel1]

I was lucky enough, to have met her, 15 years ago, when I attended a small outdoor, afternoon concert at North Star, Lake Tahoe, Ca. She was a Child prodigy who I believe set the bar. Who is she inside herself, the type that goes to a receiving area, after her performance, sitting at a table, wanting to meet every person who just heard her play. It is humbling to see her, being one of us, as she looks into your eyes, devouring the dialog between the two of you. She is a "Once in a life time"

[Vermilicious]

One of my Keiko favorites.

[medialuna112]

lindisimo, no tengo palabras. ♥

[takasaki04]

Quá hay ! nghe như Nhạc Thiền(Zen Music)

[johncullenxyz]

This is amazing!

[MrChrisK1973]

Keiko Matsui is truly unique. My favourite piano player of all time.

[MrChrisK1973]

My favourite pianist of all time. No one plays the piano the way she does. A true pioneer.

[YMastersWRC]

She is performing in my city. And I don't have $ for ticket...

[julijakeit]

@YMastersWRC yes u have, it is worth of buying ticket to her concert. if she came to Munich, i would eat just bread and potatoes but i buy ticket for her concert for sure.

[spiritdancerify]

you are so right musical artist like this beautiful woman is rare. You hit the truth on it's note... Thank you..  ^_^

[gohuskies583]

OMG I wish she would come to Ohio to perform!!!!

[RufusGaki1]

It's amazing when you can "hear" her feelings through every note. A REAL pianist. 

[ManifestYourWorld]

Absolutely lovely

[momezart]

Amazing performance. I have been a die hard fan of her for more than 20 years. This one is my favorite.

Regards from Bangkok,Thailand

[YS28021986]

это просто восхитительно!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ksantosh2000]

@leapoffaith24 - all the best!

[ansalta47]

THANKS TO KEIKO! SHE IS SUPER MUSICIAN! EVERY TIME WHEN SHE COMES TO DNEPROPETROVSK I GO TO HER CONCERTS!!!

[vasend]

She is coming to Jazz Alley next week and I am so looking forward to taking in as many performances as I can! Her live performances are a real treat.

[SharonRene]

I am so blessed to be able to see her tonight at Blues Alley Jazz in DC; my man saw to it that we got tickets. It is a dream to be able to sit and listen to one of the world's best pianists! She moves me in ways that have no words! See you there!!!!

[robertrlude]

Thank you for this post. There isn’t another pianist—past or present—who conveys such emotion and liveliness in their music. Maybe it’s the influence of her Japanese culture that brings all that out or perhaps it is in her way of fusing an ancient, yet prodigious musical culture with new-age flair? Whatever it is, it is pure musical magic, and pure genius.

[1997ByMySelf]

is this on dvd by any chance?? o;

[klyons20]

[uva973]

[Sam1170]

Love this composition from Keiko, just what I needed to listen to today..

[Wendeyaho]

...I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

~ P. Neruda

[halynamyroslava]

So wonderful and touching

[2008IBM]

[ashthelefty]

[TheShadowFX]

leapoffaith24 You' Releiden vom Größenwahn mein Liebling. Möglicherweise sollten Sie zu versuchen stoppen, zu sein jemand, dass Sie nicht sind.

[TheShadowFX]

Dieses ist möglicherweise eins der reizendsten Liede, die ich überhaupt zu gehört habe. Es lässt mich immer an mein MA denken.

[TheShadowFX]

彼女は私の母に歌うのに使用される私の父古代東洋のラブソングに­私がちょうど子供だったときに美しい、彼女の音楽のほとんど基づ­いている。

[Wendeyaho]

Peaceful bliss...halt dich an mir fest , Ich liebe dich für immer ~

[TheNameless21487]

@Wendeyaho Ich liebe dich auch für immer. Halt dich an mir fest!

[Coriiander]

Wow... Sorry for this low intellect language, but: what the hell :o This is supreme! Geez! This has been on repeat for nearly 30 minutes now. Time to listen more of her.

Wow, bayıldım!!!...nefisssss

[YMastersWRC]

@leapoffaith24 I hope so! I really do!!!

[Catyoukai]

I was in complete awestruck when I saw her live a month back. She is absolutely amazing and completely plays with her heart in her. This song is truly beautiful. I wish so badly I could find this version of it.

[BlueStateChronicle]

She is so beautiful. Once I saw her play at a jazz club in Hollywood. I sat so close I could have touched her. I drank my red wine, and just absorbed her music...can't describe how magical that night was. When she plays, she is in a trance. On another planet, dancing her own little universe beat.

[itsvoogle]

SHhhh dont tell But when im not playing Black or Death metal,, i listen to Keiko Matsui.....hehehe ^ -^

[ohsosexy45]

I dedicate this beautiful song to my mother. Happy Birthday to my "Water" Lillie!!! We love you and miss you dearly.

[CNoeliaSoprano]

IMPRESIONANTE

[Briansbash]

Numero Uno, FAB U LOUS.

[syxinator]

@leapoffaith24. Keep following your dream and you will achieve it.

[12345dubi12345]

she keeps touching the heart of beauty! over and over and over!

[Temya9]

Absolutely wonderful!

[crazypunkjenny]

So soft : )

[stoneman127]

Her music is so meditative. Such a strong focus. Watching Keiko perform is like watching magic take place. She not only plays the piano...she becomes her music. So beautiful even after all this time.

[piekyoka]

Oh, jesus, A Great musician!!!

There is a Japanese proberb regarding "Water".

水五則...Five rules of Water

She is a mystery.....Oriental magical artist!

[nemertem1]

nice! :)

[ballademaker]

perfect piano artist:)) she play with heart all the time , is a blessing that she share here music to the world. is so great!!! i am a big fan of here, a big ikon. one of the best female piano artist in the world, maybe the best!!!!

[kosemakaliose]

beauiful

[TheLilyanaShow]

I heard this was composed after her father'd died :( It's just so evocative. You can tell she put a lot into it. And I love her dress :D

[Thebigharrypotterfan]

Words cannot explain this amazing song. Musical artists like these are so rare and we with the finer taste in music should all be grateful for Keiko Matsui. I know that these songs are going to end up on my iPod. It would be so nice to fall asleep to this song or to wake up to it. Listening to this song as you fall asleep would definitly give you some very sweet dreams.

[Zenparticle]

@Thebigharrypotterfan

Interesting you say that, when I was a teen my father would play this song, then open my door to wake me up! I guess he knew it was a very non annoying way to wake!

[geyner77]

Bella interpretacion musica piano.

[CLOWNBOT00]

Ah, this the video I was watching last night. I was trying so hard to remember it. I wanted to hear this again before I head to work.

Talented, beautiful and smart, a triple threat. Love her music.

[coman4ero]

[marisolmc20]

:O Que hermoso! Es brillante esta mujer...mis respetos

[OnlyDeji]

to Technimouse:

She came to the Pontiac Arts, Beats and Eats along with her band, and she made the place move with her music. Alexander Xonjic and a few other smooth jazz artists were there as well Keiko put everyone else to shame!

That was the first time I took my friend to this type and she loved it!

[rezzoro7]

YES YOU CAN!

[xLinaChansDEADx]

Keiko's music is definitely a reflection of her: smooth, beautiful, and revolutionary. I want to be like her when I'm older.

[MINIYOUTU08]

I would invite you to come to NYC CB ART STUDIO TO RECORDING A NEW DVD IT IS POSSIBILITY?

[tenchimouse]

I hope she comes back to Hawaii for the jazz fest. She is one I truly can say that she was the highlight of the Maui fest back in '97. Beautiful, class, peaceful, amazing. Aloha!

[FlexWheeler2nd]

Wow, haven't heard this song in about 15 years! Still really good!

[LinkinParkHIMFan]

enough said

[bingbingsdaddy]

I don't know about all that mumbo jumbo, but what Keiko does do with her music -at least her solo piano stuff- is stimulate the imagination and keep it interesting without using too many notes or being overly complicated....concise, but beautiful..! But I do agree with the sexy part!

[sveltesavante]

Keiko is so beautiful in her gift.. she completely fills my heart with laughter as i feel tears run from my eyes and down my cheeks... a very amazing quality she has to be able exude such sexiness in her person and still retain the excitement and enthusiasm of a child experimenting with fun and mastery of newfound skills! It is like watching the unfolding of new universes within the cosmos! A sensation of life spilling across me with laughter and exuberance for loving people of the world!

[ricduga]

beautifully said!!

[shia543]
