That was beautiful and incredible. That little girl knew it. Glad her father allowed her to continue to listen. Sometimes we have to stop and smell the roses.

This literally brings me to tears. So beautiful, and watching that little girl taking in every note ❤️ My little soul sister 🥰 Thank you for sharing such an incredible performance!
Trouble with this is the more people pull these sorts of pranks, the less likely people will be to believe it when a real homeless person is playing their heart out.
@@DurdenTyler001 I appreciate that, but it doesn't take away from the fact the prank still deceived those who felt they were genuinely helping a homeless guy with an amazing talent, and the effect this has as per my original comment.
I think these listeners have been well served by changing their initial judgement of a homeless man's appearance and the talents the homeless could potentially possess. Indeed some homeless people do have great musical skills. Even if the audience realised later that they were pranked - it's a good prank and I don't think they'll be violated by feeling deceived in this case. My two pence.
Jeepy Trouble with your comment is, its not like they were told afterwards he wasnt homeless. Just seeing this on the internet wouldn’t change their perspective, especially since theyd know its for a good cause in the end anyways. If anything, they’d probably consider donating more since theyre entertained well and its going to a homeless charity anyways. If it DID change their perspective then they probably didnt donate or werent going to donate in the first place cuz that just means theyre a shite person. Stop trying to downplay good acts. There is no trouble here.
A gift to that child who will remember that day always... The world is full of so many talented people with the ability to capture a crowd, or just 1 soul. And not only with a piano, but with many other skills as well. I believe that every human being has within them more than they know, and some discover that while others never do....
@@Yittt that's because about 70% (according to statistics and I believe them) aren't truly homeless. They set up shop and ppl give them money. Idk how ppl can be so dumb, some are covered with expensive tattoos and kicks...bc assholes continue to give to them. Most are young and decently dressed. Some will even bring a baby along , in a nice stroller.
@@ms.sanchez3924 Tru I see the same guy otw home from work out there w a sign asking for money and everyday he has on different clean clothes. I've also seen a guy w a sign that read "need a job need an opportunity" and I gave him few $ wish I could've gotten him a job one of few that really just seem like they had some bad luck but never know. I've also bought food for a homeless guy a whole meal w a large drink and he asked me "do you have any money I'd rather take that" I said f*** no and walked 5ft away and gave it another homeless guy and gave him $5
Now, I realized that nobody can appreciate a great performance such this, and we have to pay a lot for a live concert to nurture our souls with such a great music.
@@georgieluvsu I didn't steal anything. I just wanted to say that I enjoy more when you know that the guy is really homeless and has such talent, while people think he is pro pianist, rather than being a pro pianist and pretending to be homeless.

@@woofdog9029 I had to save up for my phone even while my dad was making decent money? Now I can't even buy 3 or 4 things at goodwill lmao, but i still have a phone.
This really strikes an emotional chord for me. My best friend died a homeless man. After 5 years I still cry when reminded of him and his terrible hardships.
@SG-wi9kd yes I did. After ten days of him drinking where I couldn't see him, making my house reek of stale alcohol, scaring my kids with him being intoxicated and putting a major strain on my relationship, not mention my finances, I had to ask him to leave. 1 of the hardest decisions I've ever made. I told him he wasn't allowed to drink halfway through those 10 days, and he started to go pale and shake uncontrollably. I looked up, going cold turkey from alcoholism and it stated that 60% of alcoholics that go cold turkey suffer from heart attacks. These people need professional help, and they need to take themselves in. I tried, but he refused. His life was possessed by addiction.

I believe that the little girl had no idea who this person was. A homeless bum or an accomplished pianist, it didn't matter. He was sharing a gift and she, like all children who never had time to be taught to judge, was mesmerized. She sees an art, a gift. There's something to be said about innocence. It's much wiser than experience.
This musical social experience is much more relevant than others that I have seen, since here, in a station, people are waiting more than in the metro, so they have "a little more time" to enjoy the music, and above all, the talented pianist's fake homeless appearance, also plays a huge role in people's empathy, compassion and sensitivity.
@@eliteferocious Not everyone can pay, sharing it with others is still a good way for someone to make money. If this man were actually homeless I'm sure he would still appreciate people sharing it.
FerociousFlames they don’t have to do anything, they don’t gotta pay him or record him they don’t even have to watch , not everyone is gonna pay, you should know this lol just drop it
He deserves a HELL of a LOT more than people’s loose change….There are MANY real homeless out there that possess otherwise hidden talents but somewhere something went horribly wrong in their lives….Mental Health issues included 😢😢
He played beautifully, however, the change that was given to him was all that he deserved because actually he is a real-life professional pianist disguised as a homeless person. So dishonest.
I busk regularly, no one carrys money in physical form since the govt told them it carries covid, which is true. But I have the double vaxx & booster, it makes no difference. If you are homeless you are effed, if you busk you will have people bully you and pour drinks on your head, you will get into violent fights over nothing. I'm all for mental health, it's just not being done rightfully at all, pretty much all other homeless people ask me for change when I'm packing up and I give them a little bit of whatever I got for the 8hr day (around £10), but the Salvation Army often give me food and shelter (the shelter doesn't last long though)
@@alejandropando593 To be fair, they thought they were donating to a great pianist who happened to be dressed up as a steriotypical homeless man, but were in fact actually, and unknowingly donating to a charitable organization who's effort is to stop homelessness. Talk about bamboozled for all of the right reasons. XD :)
Sounds like the most emotional short-film ever. Synopsis: Homeless man on his way to end his life but encounters a piano in the mall on his way to his demise. He plays the piano and realises he still has great talent for it and childhood memories begin flashing before him. He begins to sob and the sobbing turns to a stream of tears hitting the keys as he plays majestically. "This is all I have to give, This is all", he whispers as the sobbing intensifies. His worthlessness healing from the excellence of his piano skills just as the melody swarms in a big crowd. One by one they donate to the little cup someone else had placed and it begins over-flowing with money. And at the last note played by the keys, the crowd began to clap violently, cheering and whistling. The homeless man was greeted with great smiles by smiling men and women with tears in drowning their faces. "Beep! Beep!" (?!) The homeless man wakes up from beeping of cars in traffic. It was all dream, but a dream that inspired him to get help and return to his musical talents.
i can’t even afford half the things he’s wearing lmao edit: i didn’t mean this in a “poor me” way. yes i’m fortunate but my initial thought was the budget for clothes is slim. it was also meant to be a joke so
Yeah I mean, every person sitting on the street playing something with literally a sign saying help I'm homeless is just someone good at something with crazy hair
Charles Rochfort it’s in st Pancras the train station in London. Ur allowed to play there, but the pianos are so old that the keys are round 😂 u ever been there??
@@jungkookslefteyelashes2632 Hi Willow 👋 Haven't been there in a very long time....1995 I think ...if I lived nearby I would have a look at it and give it some TLC. A piano really needs a stable environment. Changes in temperature and humidity can cause the wrestplank which holds the tuning pins to crack. There is about a ton of tension on the frame. On a good sized grand piano it's about two and a half tons ! Anyway all the best to you 👍
There's something so pure and raw about this part 3:13 it's like the girl is completely lost in the music. It's amazing to think that she will probably never forget this moment for the rest of her life
Yes! This is what struck me as well. How enrapt the girl seemed the whole time he played. What a wonderful powerful thing it is to build a lifelong poignant memory for another human being.
Amazing, I mean unbelievable; the way the platform announcer synced with the ending, what a talent. And maybe that little girl will learn the piano one day, but she'll probably realise it's really hard work and just give it up. Truly inspiring.
I think you should do tons and tons of videos with him pretending to be a homeless person. That really tugs at the heartstrings when you see others looking up to someone that hasn't had as good as fortune as we all have and who usually gets bullied because of it. 💕💕💕

The real hero is the woman that tipped him at 0:46 before he really got started. She was like, that’s great he’s trying, let’s give a little help. Just my thoughts
i looked in the description to see what music that was nothing there so started reading the comments hoping someone would say what it was THANK YOU for giving the name of this song ive never heard it before but loved it!!!!! i think its my new favorite
I've heard this piece a million times and is wondering if anyone listening to it knows anything about it 'cause I've always been desperate to find out. It's a comforting piece particularly soothing when you're in bad mood and needs someone to talk to.
@@CrusaderKnight2000, IF YOU must know, NOTHING. Seems as if you don't pay much attention to folks handle on the TUBE which is why you asked such a frivolous question 😂😂.
The money was given to charity,and if you were really being serious about what you were saying, please don't. Don't take advantage of other people's kind heart.
Man... if I walked up on that, and had no idea, seeing that sign, and seeing just *coin* being dropped in that cup, I'da probably dropped a 50 in that cup for real.

Don't need to buy one. They are being destroyed because they are mostly unwanted sadly. Charity shops are selling them for very little and they will deliver.
Most homeless people are homless because they're lazy af. Of course there are exceptions like people with disabilities but if a normal person is begging for money, they should spend their time trying to find a job instead.

This musical social experience is much more relevant than others that I have seen, since here, in a station, people are waiting more than in the metro, so they have "a little more time" to enjoy the music, and above all, the talented pianist's fake homeless appearance, also plays a huge role in people's empathy, compassion and sensitivity.
That little girl has now had the love of music implanted in her heart x
😊😊 I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
goes undercover
has man with camera standing next to him before he even begins
Exactly
Not just one camera man.. what about the camera capturing camera man 🤔
And the nice probably 20000 or more piano too

He played one of my favorite composers, Rachmaninoff, his Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini. 💖
Thanks was looking for that.
I just thought that was the theme to the movie A place in time.
Mine too!
Look on the Groundhog Day soundtrack.
.music critics always suggested this was too flowery. I love it !
That girl is going to grow up to become a pianist, just look at how entranced she is
Na, she sees through his bullshit disguise. Can't sneak anything past the young ones. "His fingernails are too clean".
100%...beautiful to see how interested she is. That moment might change her life!
OR she might see being homeless is the way to go . earn a few pennies or a quarter and get by begging. DAMN another life ruined..... LOL
Hillary [Obviously] that’s exactly what I thought. She was absolutely in the zone of her calling!

Plot twist: The ones giving him money are actually the ones homeless
hahaha
Timelapse weightloss hahaha
Hahaha
that’s wholesome. even though they’re struggling themselves, they’re willing to help someone out who seems to be in the same circumstances as them.
Lol
Only some people give him money but most recorded him
That's their contributions, if you can't pay, share it with the world.
Kassee Hampton I disagree with this. They have no right to just record and not pay him.
@@eliteferocious Not everyone can pay, sharing it with others is still a good way for someone to make money. If this man were actually homeless I'm sure he would still appreciate people sharing it.
FerociousFlames I disagree with u. Sharing means a lot. Sharing got a homeless girl in India a job as a singer part of a movie.
FerociousFlames they don’t have to do anything, they don’t gotta pay him or record him they don’t even have to watch , not everyone is gonna pay, you should know this lol just drop it
Little girl: "I want to grow up homeless so I can play the piano like that."
Dont be silly, dont be blind.
greatlakes01 😂😂😂😂😂
If he was homeless he could probably buy them at the thrift store
Now he will donate that money to the homeless
Ha, ha, ha !
Je regarde, j'écoute, je ferme les yeux et ......je pleurs. Merci pour ce moment de bonheur.
The only person who actually enjoyed every single second of it was that little girl with no phone!!!
Shut up boomer go cook some gluten free chicken
Yea and whats about the old women?

You're so funny
Its almost as if the little girl is hypnotized by the music. Hope she remembers that time forever
He deserves a HELL of a LOT more than people’s loose change….There are MANY real homeless out there that possess otherwise hidden talents but somewhere something went horribly wrong in their lives….Mental Health issues included 😢😢
I was thinking the same thing. They would pay a lot to see someone in concert.
He played beautifully, however, the change that was given to him was all that he deserved because actually he is a real-life professional pianist disguised as a homeless person. So dishonest.
I busk regularly, no one carrys money in physical form since the govt told them it carries covid, which is true. But I have the double vaxx & booster, it makes no difference. If you are homeless you are effed, if you busk you will have people bully you and pour drinks on your head, you will get into violent fights over nothing.
I'm all for mental health, it's just not being done rightfully at all, pretty much all other homeless people ask me for change when I'm packing up and I give them a little bit of whatever I got for the 8hr day (around £10), but the Salvation Army often give me food and shelter (the shelter doesn't last long though)
Yeah the hidden talent of injecting heroin between their toes or pass out drunk in a gutter.
Most everyone whose famous as a musical entertainer has mental health issues.
I edited this for fun lmao 😂
They would see that their money was donated to "Crisis," an organization working hard to help end homelessness.
They didn’t donated money to a homeless man, they donate it to a great pianist.
@@alejandropando593 To be fair, they thought they were donating to a great pianist who happened to be dressed up as a steriotypical homeless man, but were in fact actually, and unknowingly donating to a charitable organization who's effort is to stop homelessness. Talk about bamboozled for all of the right reasons. XD :)
The rule is: If a street performer makes you stop and watch, then you owe him some money.
What if you’re homeless and wanna stop and watch but have no money?
@@Kat_M557 You share what you've got.
@@AntiCitizenZero not if you are homeless
Kat Montanez Be Thankful 🙏 Give the gift of praise. You might find your Gift?
Unless he's rich and pretending to be homeless just to play on your weak emotions and con you into giving him money because you think he needs it.
Sounds like the most emotional short-film ever.
Synopsis:
Homeless man on his way to end his life but encounters a piano in the mall on his way to his demise.
He plays the piano and realises he still has great talent for it and childhood memories begin flashing before him.
He begins to sob and the sobbing turns to a stream of tears hitting the keys as he plays majestically.
"This is all I have to give, This is all", he whispers as the sobbing intensifies.
His worthlessness healing from the excellence of his piano skills just as the melody swarms in a big crowd.
One by one they donate to the little cup someone else had placed and it begins over-flowing with money.
And at the last note played by the keys, the crowd began to clap violently, cheering and whistling.
The homeless man was greeted with great smiles by smiling men and women with tears in drowning their faces.
"Beep! Beep!" (?!)
The homeless man wakes up from beeping of cars in traffic.
It was all dream, but a dream that inspired him to get help and return to his musical talents.
i can’t even afford half the things he’s wearing lmao
edit: i didn’t mean this in a “poor me” way. yes i’m fortunate but my initial thought was the budget for clothes is slim. it was also meant to be a joke so
*FAX*
I could afford that shirt I got one just like it with smaller stains.
@@jessedupere429 weird flex but ok
but u have a lot of clothes lol
jesse dupere BAHA this made me giggle
The kid like.. 'I will be a great pianist'.
Or... '20 years later, I'll manage this piano man'.
Nyonyo Reservoir No she be like: I wanna be homeless!
I’d assume he wasn’t homeless. Just an artist with crazy hair.
Yeah I mean, every person sitting on the street playing something with literally a sign saying help I'm homeless is just someone good at something with crazy hair
ive never worn anything adiddas nike in my entire life
Even shoes?
And because of money or you don’t want to? Sorry but i’m just asking
Like Rittz
This guy is a pro, he just touches the first few notes and a crowd starts to form
He's good, but just a journeyman pro who could perform adequately in bars, hotels, etc.
But he's certainly not Liberace !
and after that... the little girl turned to one of the most amazing pianists this world has ever seen...
taciana b and also became homeless 😂
Great performance ! That piano in need of tuning though ...
Charles Rochfort it’s in st Pancras the train station in London. Ur allowed to play there, but the pianos are so old that the keys are round 😂 u ever been there??
@@jungkookslefteyelashes2632 Hi Willow 👋 Haven't been there in a very long time....1995 I think ...if I lived nearby I would have a look at it and give it some TLC. A piano really needs a stable environment. Changes in temperature and humidity can cause the wrestplank which holds the tuning pins to crack. There is about a ton of tension on the frame. On a good sized grand piano it's about two and a half tons ! Anyway all the best to you 👍
Nick The Great what’s wrong with what they said?
There's something so pure and raw about this part 3:13 it's like the girl is completely lost in the music. It's amazing to think that she will probably never forget this moment for the rest of her life
Sometimes the most smallest interaction in a day can have a life long influence...
Yes! This is what struck me as well. How enrapt the girl seemed the whole time he played. What a wonderful powerful thing it is to build a lifelong poignant memory for another human being.
Of course she won't. She's in youtube.
That was his chance to run off w her
Amazing, I mean unbelievable; the way the platform announcer synced with the ending, what a talent. And maybe that little girl will learn the piano one day, but she'll probably realise it's really hard work and just give it up. Truly inspiring.
Every parent was like...see kid, this is why you don't wanna be a musician or will end up homeless like this fellow

The good thing will be to help the people in need.
Would be perfect for this time to have a public trumpet for everyone

I think you should do tons and tons of videos with him pretending to be a homeless person. That really tugs at the heartstrings when you see others looking up to someone that hasn't had as good as fortune as we all have and who usually gets bullied because of it. 💕💕💕
He just turned that kid into a next great musician with one full on moment of awe and inspiration. 🙏🏼😭
sure keep thinking that. That kid is gonna be purple haired antifa next time you see her.
The little girl wanted to tune the piano so bad.
This is the moment that little girl in pink shoe realized, she wants to become a pianist.
or homeless xD

When you can tell that little girls life has forever changed by the way she’s so close to him and so mesmerized by the piano. You know she’s gonna be a little genius when she recognizes true ART.🤗
Doubt it
She's gonna pursue her dreams as homeless
well, she might,you never know!🙂

Some person that recorded this is going to post it on RUclips being like “homeless man plays piano in mall (shocking!!)”
Imagine finding out after donating

Nah the pianist was going to donate the money he got to charity... This guy does that kind of stuff at this mall
No doubt
Wth are you doing here sebastian?
The real hero is the woman that tipped him at 0:46 before he really got started. She was like, that’s great he’s trying, let’s give a little help. Just my thoughts
She ruined his coffee
If anyone would like to know, the piece is called “Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini (Variation 18)”
It’s my all time favorite piece!
By Rachmaninov
My favorite piece is a 38 special. But this one is nice, too.
i looked in the description to see what music that was nothing there so started reading the comments hoping someone would say what it was THANK YOU for giving the name of this song ive never heard it before but loved it!!!!! i think its my new favorite
thank you
I've heard this piece a million times and is wondering if anyone listening to it knows anything about it 'cause I've always been desperate to find out. It's a comforting piece particularly soothing when you're in bad mood and needs someone to talk to.
Would rather see a homeless man go undercover as a pro pianist
