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'.

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.

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

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" ??

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

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.

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

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!

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 :-)
