On the Nature of Daylight - a ballet by David Dawson

[jadare2]

I have never cried because of a youtube video, until watching this. So inspiring

[KonstantineMatsoukas]

They're impeccable, but I found the way HE moves riveting. The music is of such wholesome intent, immediate.

[jetulik]

is it for "good aids" or "bad aids" ??

[babybanana92]

ughhh...sooooo...gooooood!! Absolutely beautiful!

[dexterdamonkey]

i like the piece: it is slow, and sad. and the dance is fluid and they move unanimously, elegantly, but it seems much too fast and too energetic for Nature of Daylight. to each their own i suppose.

[ChicChicken]

I'm crying, I always loved this song by Max Richter, but the dance makes it superior.

[HopeWithPandora]

My son introduced me to this song a while back... I was so moved then and am on every hearing. This video does have a positive effect whilst enjoying the sadness contained within the music.

Thank-you... long may it remain here!

[postmodernfreak]

Stunningly beautiful. I discovered this song on the Shutter Island soundtrack and that version has Dinah Washington's This Bitter Earth mixed. I love to dance and always ballet my way around the room when I hear it! The two songs stand separately as beautiful pieces :-)

[foreverpirouette]

I made a youtube account just so that I can comment on this video... This song is very dear to me and I have a connection with it. The choreography and movement make it all the better... I literally cried the first time I watched this video... I am so inspired <3

[JulianSerrano7]

me gusta como baila la chica..

tiene buenas piernas xD

[MagicalSunrise1984]

watching this - the soul flies free!

it's not easy to hold over six minutes of music and this dance managed to do so so well that for over six minutes it was impossible to detach my whole being from the screen

amzing !

[glamrgrrl]

That was so amazingly beautiful. Gorgeous.

[Amara389]

I'm using this song is a play, just after my death scene. The choreography of the person playing my daughter and the person playing my husband is to real, and so sad, this song makes me cry every time

[poodlesusan]

Beautiful balance of the two. Thank you for uploading this. I just found this video because I saw Raphael Coumes-Marquet interview on hulu in a series called 'Dance Pulp'. He seems such a sensitive person. A lovely man. ♥

[NAREK9]

I cried ... it's so beautiful :( I'm on cloud nine .... If I could dance like that .... I can see how people put their souls into dance and music ... Even I want something like this in my life.

[broadwayloverny10]

I could watch this all day and never get tired of it. It is just that amazing.

[Winz1289]

[duhitsjuliet]

[Clariceando]

Hello,

You could allow the incorporation of video "On The Nature of Daylight" in my blog?

I await response, thanks.

[pimpampam]

@Clariceando yes, you can share the video on your blog.

[Clariceando]

@pimpampam I am grateful ...

But how do I embed video?

It is the first time that I ask permission.

I do not know what procedure.

Thanks for your kindness,

Nina.

[susanmalon]

... gorgeous ♥

[MusicianMonster]

I've wrote lyrics to the melachony of this song and sung it on the original version.

I would be very grateful if you guys could check it out and give your honest opinion :)

Max Richter ft Stijn Buysse - Nature of this daylight

[jeicTREVIpafar]

SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSO DE LO MEJOR K E VISTO

[jeicTREVIpafar]

SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSO

[batura1]

I think this dance does not match with the song and the vibe it creates. just my opinion. It is not a dance song in the first place, 

[Wagnerian52]

@batura1

How unfortunate that you limit your understanding on what can be expressed in dance form...!!! There are no limits when something is well done ..!!!

Sometime you should see Pachelbel's Canon in D danced in a free form ballet..!!!

That also is not a ballet piece but who cares...!!!

[lysander1]

im not normally a fan of ballet.... in fact i used to hate it... but recently this and pages from a virgin's diary have sooooo proved me wrong!

[amtp2684]

WOW... that was a MASTERPIECE!! So in sync with each other; such as yin and yang!

[Steelrigg]

if you like this also look up Vladimirs Blues from the same album...simply hauntingly beautiful

[tanyagarciaaa1]

the bestt cheorgrapherr to this daayy!!!!

[invaderErin]

The song is called the nature of daylight.

[khnarutolover]

this is sensational. absolutely beautiful. i love it.

[mellybean1004]

Wow just wow. Beautiful.

[koudra80]

i love the song of Max richter but listening while watching these amazing dancers....was beyond words...

[saramurawski]

This is so incredible. You feel like you are holding your breath until it finishes because it is just so gorgeous.

[TheJodyjag]

Their heights work wonderfully for some really beautiful lifts and transitions. His length is so gorgeous and her sinewy sleekness wraps ribbons of beauty around this stage. Bravo <3

[ninjakittie24]

beautiful

[andiloveyou12]

i loove dis song. i cry everytime i hear it :)

[metyilinko]

I almost cried... it's soooo touching...

Anyone knows the MUSIC of it?? please!! :)

[pimpampam]

@metyilinko: it is created to music by Max Richter 'On the Nature of Daylight'.

[lpadancer3]

@metyilinko It is the music of This Bitter Earth.

[mikemaster724]

@lpadancer3 Its not, its called on the nature of daylight. Your probably thinking of the piece used in Shutter Island, which was this bitter earth/the nature of daylight, because it used the music from the nature of daylight and the vocals from this bitter earth.

[secretme127]

This music, their dancing.. It gives me chills.

[manherz78]

I saw this duet last night in NYC. Unbelievably beautiful performers, choreography and music. What a gift to us all.

[seanmckeen]

Six minutes of pure heaven.. thank you

[balletnut]

They are so 'together' that at times it seems as if there's only one person dancing.

This piece is out of this world. Thank you David.
