  • Thx, i was just playing Call of duty :)

  • This is really cool cuz my brother is in Japan. He is in the marines and currently works in data systems and my dad is in the US army reserve for California. :)

  • Thank you, Taylor! My late husband was retired Army, a veteran of Vietnam and the first Gulf war, and my only son currently serves on an aircraft carrier in Japan. This means a lot to me. You are as thoughtful as you are talented!

  • thank you so much for supporting our troops. my uncle was in the army and recently passed.

  • I've died a lot in Call of Duty and feel honored by your care, thank you so much.

  • As an Iraq veteran, I thank you for this. Go Army!

  • I absolutely love the military rolloff. We use it in our marching band, and I love it.

  • I was a little hesitant on how it would sound, but I have to say that was great

  • I learned this music when I was twelve at the school at the flute but I did not end it because I was crying, knowing all the meaning it had!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for doing. My father was in vietnam. I appricate that there are people who honor those who are serving and those who served in military.

  • I wish I could have seen this when I was sitting in the middle of the persian gulf. Thank you, PO3 D. USN

  • As much as we in the Armed Forces appreciate the gratitude of the great Americans we would gladly give our lives to protect, Memorial Day is ONLY about those who already have! So never thank the living Vets on Memorial Day, that's what Veteran's day is for :) And NEVER say Happy Memorial Day, it is anything but. :(

    Now that I got that off my chest, I'll say you are absolutely SPECTACULAR on that violin! Hope we see this one again on Veterans Day!

    SSgt A, USMC OOOORAH!!

  • OMG yu rock more than a pebble lol haha (just made that up)

  • I love ur violin. :D

  • i want you to be my teacher i might be getting a violin for christmas my dad has been dropping hints about it

  • Thanks for the meaningful upload! You did an amazing job! I could probably listen to you play all day long! Aside from the Star Spangled Banner, the Army song was the best, hooah! :p

    But on a more serious note, they were all amazing pieces! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your talent with the world!

  • thank you to all those for your service..is it pathetic I have tears in my eyes now form this

  • Semper Fi!

    

  • your playing sounds beautiful

  • BTW, how long have you been playing? I just started two weeks ago. 

  • Well performed. The second time I listened it sounded even better than the first. May I ask what you use as reference for the tempo? Do you hear the music while you play, and if so how?

  • WOW, those had me singing the word lol. Amazing video

  • God Bless The United States of America!

  • Hi, I thought id share my msg here as well: "I did send you a msg for a possible collaboration, please take a look at it and send me an answer!" :)

    Thomas

  • I am a beginning Violinist and a US Army Soldier for 11 years, THANK YOU for your tribute as it rang chills throughout my soul. I am going to watch this as many times as it takes until i learn each of these renditions you so amazingly played. I am a beginner and have only strumed the strings and learned twinkle twinkle little star, one day i hope to play these great songs with such passion and desire as you have shown here. Thank You and God Bless.

  • I noticed something. You do exactly what I do while playing an instrument, and that's the thousand yard stare. I always stare off into space while playing, and the fact that you do it too shows how in tune with your instrument you really are. You are amazing at it. And I support the troops, and my friends in the military. I enjoyed this. :)

  • 85 innocent civilians one third of them children died yesterday and scores injured and disfigured for life in a NATO bombing in Libya yesterday!

    I don't think we should honor who's job is to cause death and destruction around the world so that some American Zionist bankers become a little bit more wealthier.

    you are a very talented musician, I love to listen to you play and I hope your talent will continue to celebrate love and life, far away from war and nationalism

  • @123VivaDjazair Wow, we need war so that we can celebrate love and life. And she can show nationalism because its HER art, she can express herself in any way she pleases.

  • @LegendAmongstYou

    When Nationalism deprives children from enjoying the gift of life ... like your precious armed forces have done to these 33 children and 52 men and women 2 days ago with a near blackout of your media .. I guess you can be proud of this

    watch?v=GRVUvWc04cQ

    so go ahead and be proud of your armed forces heroes who are helping your Zionist masters steal and massacre the poor of the third world.... go ahead and express your artistic talent and be proud of your achievements.

  • @123VivaDjazair Im sorry are you speaking of the Zionist masters who spend millions of dollars in foreign aid to help others, or the Zionist master who are first to respond when the world needs a helping hand. The fact is is that their own people placed them in that position. I am not trying to justify the deaths of the innocent, but in times of war things like that happens and you should realize that. Innocent blood shed is spilled each and everyday, with or without war.

  • @LegendAmongstYou

    I'm speaking about the unelected Zionist masters who pulls the strings behind the scene and who give the American people an illusion of democracy!

    I am talking about the Zionists who spend not millions but BILLIONS of American tax payers money to wage wars on all those who do not bow to their vision of a new world order where Zionists are kings and the rest of humanity are slaves!

    Another Zionist work 2 days ago

    watch?v=ywn7p04zYPg&feature=re­lated

  • Let's leave it there and not flood this video comments with obvious off topic postings.

    You should have just shut your mouth and let me make a mild comment about not glorifying the armed forces even though they are also victims to the Zionist evil mafia that use them as they please.

    I hate Wars and I hate the pain that it bring to people and also hate Zionists because they are without a doubt the cancer that this world of ours is suffering from...and there are even Rabbis that would agree.

  • Heya,

    Wouldya by any chance want to Collab Ventus Theme from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep with me? I play the piano, u can check my channel, and i dont really know how this splitscreen thingy works but since uve collabed before atleast with Verdegrand i guess u know how it works :D

    Thumbs up to be seen please, thanks =)

  • Thank you. Not only was that VERY well performed- but as an OIF vet- I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Beautiful!

  • 1. Tht was amazing i wanna be as good as u someday

    2.can you play some more kingdom hearts music like from birth by sleep for example ventus' theme

  • u should stand by the ships as they come home and play this 4 them cuz ur played it perfectly and thats comin frum a brit =D

  • i had freaking goosebumps when you played the star spangled banner. and i am not even american lol xD

  • I watched your various animations. The performance of the violin was good and was impressed.

    Will you play a theme song of Xion of KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 this time?

  • As a member of the USN I can say tributes like this actually do mean a lot to us. It means something that our people think about us, and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to post this. And may I say "GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY"!!!!

  • As a marine who's served in both Iraq and Afghanistan the Star Spangled Banner was very touching. I kept waiting for the Marine Corps Hymn and thought I was going to be disappointed until 5:30 rolled around. Excellent excellent cover. Gorgeous smile, and posture. Keep it up.

  • Ever met Nobuo? 

  • This video means so much to me. My brother is going to be stationed in Germany soon so this really means a lot.

    Thank you for showing your support for our Troops. :) God Bless.

  • Thanks for the songs. lol it was weird hearing the 'Army goes rolling along' on a violin lol

    @morpheas786 I didn't remember seeing any of the big corps when I signed up. Now I saw brave men and women joining for their country and I have to say the brothers I lost died so you can speak your mind. Enjoy the freedom buddy while I go back to the sandbox and fight for 'Freedom'.

  • Too nice of you to do this for your people.

  • awww..that was ultimately nice....

  • 2 seconds into the star spangled banner and you already had my eyes all teary, thank you for taking the time to do this.

  • You're awesome!

  • Hi Tay, can't help but wonder how many comments are from actual veterans on here. As a veteran myself I want to say thank you; most of us serve expecting nothing in return but it is nice to hear people acknowledge what you've done with simple expressions of gratitude such as this. Loved the simple version of the Star Spangled Banner . . . very tasteful. Thank you and God bless.

  • I don't understand how this has any dislikes. I mean, if you don't like the military, don't listen to it. But it doesn't deserve any dislikes. It was beautifully played, and is very inspirational. I'm not related to anything military, but I give this super thumbs up. Keep up the great playing girl.

  • If you ever seen the "Big Fish" movie, it would be wonderfull to listen you play one of th ose songs on the soundtrack ;)

  • Wow lol! This simple video caused all this? Haha. I was gonna ask Taylor to play the german national anthemn, but if this caused such heat, who knows what that might do. Lol.

    I am not an american, but she is totally justified to honour her countrymen. Corrupt governments or not... These individuals did their duties for their nation. And thus, I salute them!

    Nice tribute Tay! Your music continues to impress! I love military music!!

  • Magnificent!

  • Well played! I would have wanted the violin in the second song to be a bit lower in volume though, to blend with the music better! Otherwise, great job. You have such a clean tone.

  • Some people seem to judge too quickly. The rest of us know much better. Don't stop doing what you do ever so well, because I love it.

  • that was beautiful.

    u make such a rich sound when you play and i dont usually listen to military anthems, but i listened to the whole video and felt like i was inspired... or something...

    i mean, i dont know what kind of inspiration, or if it even should be called that, but the feeling was there.

    thanks.

  • Well, looks like 9 people are Talibans! ;) (joking)

  • really enjoyed watching videos. And this is the 1st time you talked before you play but still you really are GREAT!..Expecting more piece..(n_n)

  • Not my kind of music, but well played! God bless you, ViolinTay :-)

  • Who the heck would dislike this? Thank you for taking my idea to heart and going through with this...sounded excellent.

  • All in all, I really like a song that is a tribute to people who tragically lost their lives in war. I think it does them justice, and honors them. But national anthems and songs that praise the military and stuff, thats a no-no for me.

    Governments, nations, Kings, Emperors, have always tried to make people want to join the military and go to war, in many ways, whether by force or by manipulating them, but terrible destruction of war is always present, and that is what I really wanted to say.

  • Not only do you genuinely love music, but you also use it to honor others who sacrificed so much. Keep up the good work.

  • well i dont have a single drop of american in me

    that was really something nice to lisen to before going on with my rather hectic day

    God bless all the people figthing for the love of their country not only in U.S but around the world

  • Military Themes isn't the kind of music I listen usually but well play. I like the star spangled banner. God bless

  • Thank you! that was beautiful.

    US Army OIF 07-08

  • Are you using Viola or Violin ? It's sound so rich and warm . And do you use Camera Microphone or external Microphone ?

  • Awesome! You are the greatest violin player i know! : )

  • Comment removed

  • Military music always makes me think of walking through the haus der geschichte in the world war section. If you've never been it has real footage from the first and second world wars showing people cheering at military parades juxtaposed with footage from the battlefield and the awful death and devastation war brings.

    Maybe it's just because of Germany's past, but I always struggle with military music. Still, that's no reason to dislike a video, your playing was excellent as always.

  • the memorial day in my country is very different

    people think in silence of all the british, canadians, americans and resistance figthers that died to protect our country against the nazi's

    each culture has it's own way of doing things I guess

    not judging you or anything you play amazing

  • We get it, she looks good. You don't have to comment it 80 times on every video!

  • You are a doll! Very nice and fantastic playing!

  • you are so pretty ^\\^ and your videos are very nice!!!

  • That was wonderful, thank you so much!

  • I would like to say thankyou very much. Actually between the last time I posted I have become a United States Sailor. Thankyou for your support!

  • this made me happy :)

  • you are as beautiful as your music, keep it up kiddo!

  • I think I'm in love. Excellent video.

  • Thanks for the tribute! I am a veteran and appreciate this... I just wish people wouldn't just remember us or honor service men on just one day of the year. Regardless of the reasons why we went to war, the fact is that we went and we died and lost our minds over there.

    So, while I'm not asking everyone to celebrate the day, I do ask that you at least recognize and realize just how many men and women, just like you; died, or lost friends, family, and sanity.

  • ViolinTay, thank you so much for honoring those who have bravely served our country with your great and beautiful music.

  • Well I really enjoy it one of your best videos :-D!

  • beautiful tribute to our fallen heroes. great job.

  • @32bitSmoky Thanks! Glad you checked it out :) It's a different violin actually hehe

  • I just want to say that it makes me sad that so many people here are either willfully misunderstanding or misinterpreting my very simple video here. All I tried to do was make a video in honor of this day and those serving, not some profound analysis of government, war, or anything else. It's a pretty straight forward, heartfelt sentiment, and if people can't understand that, then yikes...

  • @ViolinTay

    Those people who you mention are idiots. That's all I can say about them.  As for your playing/tribute ..... awesome as usual, thanks for posting : )

  • Now that you have so many subs I doubt you'd see this but may it remain here for posterity.....Your individual style is very celtic! You seem very influenced by such music!! Those sixteenth triplets/grace note fills you added in the anthem were beautiful, I really like it. I would enjoy seeing you improvise a bit more =)

  • The sad thing about all that though, is that these people didnt really died for their country, but for the corrupt corporations that the country is supported by, because the whole purpose of war is for big corporations to profit from it, and in extent, benefit the countries they support.

    Yeah, I know I am going to get flamed for all that, because most people are literally brain-washed, but thats ok.

    Truth hurts.

  • @morpheas768 That's your opinion I guess, but my opinion is that you're being disrespectful. That's the great thing about living somewhere where you have freedoms of speech and opinion though, we can both tell each other what we think :)

  • Comment removed

  • @ViolinTay Yes, that is my opinion, but I didnt mean to be disrespectful or offensive here. Anyway, I said what I wanted to say, and thats that.

  • @ViolinTay Here here! and having just sworn the oath into the air force a short while ago, I thank you for this video it was beautiful. People like that really believe in what they are saying and as long as people stay open minded and consider all views then the freedom of speech is really being appreciated. Unless by his broken english my indicate, he might be a foreigner, in which case he really should stay out of it.

  • @ViolinTay From my point of view he is not disrespectfull, he just point out some thing that has been, that are, and will always be. But people have given their life, and they have done it for what they tought to be good and that must be honored. You do it nicelly. Thanks for them.

  • @morpheas768 this kids a BITCH

  • @packersfanover18 A very solid argument.....LOL

  • @morpheas768 I think you just missed the point: the song in honour of the deads. I do not think she intended to apologize them or glorify them... Of course, it would be nice to hear a collection of military songs from all over the NATO countries (just because of all the other soldiers who died in the 'Ghan and Iraq). :)

  • @GlobeMasterLover 1st of all, this isnt THE song, because its not 1 song. Its many different themes and anthems. At the end of the video, you can hear the US Marines anthem.

    We are all sorry that these people died in war, which can be such a cruel gruesome death. I'm not being disrespectful here. But supporting the war, and thinking that these wars should happen, and then say it is honorable to die that way, well that is contradictory, to say the least.

  • @morpheas768 Morpheas, she played, I think, a theme/anthem for every service. I've to admit that I didn't listen to all of them because I was mobile on a bus. Btw, what you do not understand is that this World is not a Fairy Tale World: in some countries of this world power still comes out from the muzzle of a rifle and people in those places know that. So, when you can't reason with them, as Shakspeare said, you have to "unleash the dogs of war", even it is the most horrible thing...

  • @morpheas768 I see how you can think that, but in my opinion i think that the troops aren't just fighting for our country, they are fighting for so many others.

  • @MrShajack2000 I hardly think so, especially when people hardly ever benefit from these wars. In fact, many people have their lives ruined, by losing their loved ones, and getting a "We're sorry that your....died." letter in return.

    So when you say they are fighting for so many others, thats not true in most cases, because there is no reason to fight at all.

    Telling yourself that you're fighting for your family/loved ones, doesnt make much of a difference when you go to war, if it isnt true.

  • @morpheas768

    or your the brainwashed, disrespectful cunt muffin who was taught from birth to hate the troops. You don't deserve the freedom and life gifted to you by the troops that died, but sadly you still have it to spew your bullshit. Go to Afghanistan for a day and see how long you last, our boys have more integrity in their pinky toe than you do in your entire body. So for everyone HOW BOUT YOU FUCK OFF!!! Truth hurts bitch.

  • @insanity401 I'd rather not go to Afghanistan myself. People, countries, keep getting kicked out of there. The United States is no different (Russia was the last time, but is in no way the first; BTW the Taliban was funded and armed by the US in that case, isn't that wonderful?).

  • @insanity401 Yeah truth does hurt, but sadly you dont even know half of it.

    And dont you dare talk about freedom, dont you even use that word. You have no idea what true freedom means, none of us do. Human race has never been as enslaved as it is right now, and human rights get violated more and more every day.

    Also, if you're gonna start cursing and accusing other people, try to do a better job please, because you obviously FAIL miserably at it.

  • @insanity401 I dont blame you personally for being the way you are, because that is what our society breeds: People who will do everything they can to protect the system, and keep things as they are. The so-called 'self-appointed guardians of the status quo'.

    I wasnt taught to hate anyone from birth, in fact, like you and nearly all people, I was taught nothing about our monetary system, nothing useful about war and the military, but instead I learned all that along the way. Sadly, you didnt.

  • @insanity401 Wait, wait a sec.....

    Did you really just mention Afghanistan here?? REALLY?

    You do know what the US army did to Afghanistan, dont you? Hmm, I guess you dont.

  • @morpheas768

    We ate arab children, yummy.

  • @morpheas768 your kinda missing the big point that those people still died...so don't be disrespectful and respect that those people fought for your freedom

  • @Fallen28Pker Again, I am not being disrespectful.

    It makes me really sad that these people, and everyone who has died in a war, died like that. It also makes me sad the fact that 1/3 of people fought in wars have post-traumatic stress disorder.

  • @morpheas768 keep your opinionated thoughts about corruption to the blogs this is not the place for debate and enjoy the video for what it is the wonderful violin playing and remembering the fallen hero's of America :)

  • @morpheas768 While that's to some extent true, they also fight for other things. I do have to agree about the brainwashing though. However, that applies to everyone. I doubt anyo
