Shocking Ladies with The Sound of Silence Piano "You're Twelve?!?!" Cole Lam 12 Years Old

- [EDIT: To hear this on a wonderful public grand piano - go to this: • The Sound of Silence M... - it's a Yamaha S6 grand, and the rumbling bass is amazing, and adds so much to the tone of the song]
Are you allowed to have many favourite songs? This has become another of my favourites - The Sound of Silence, the original version by Simon and Garfunkel. There is a more modern cover by Disturbed • Disturbed - The Sound... which is in a different style, more heavy and dark, with the original more soulful. The Disturbed one is also much more orchestral as well which fits the song and their amazing music video. I love how songs that were written years ago can still mean so much today.

Sheet music for The Sound of Silence: bit.ly/CL_TSOS
My arrangement is a bit of a mix of both with a lightness from Simon and Garfunkel and "darkness" from the Disturbed version.
Oh - I think this is the first time you actually hear my dad in one of the videos? Oh no, it's the second time - do you know the first?
The ladies really enjoyed it and were shocked that I was 12 - I ha a nice chat with them. Also, a little bit of people watching - the lady with the red beret walking by, and must have walked behind the lift and came round the other side to watch me!

If you would like to hear this on a better tuned piano (also in public) - check this: I have played on a much better piano, also in public at a shopping centre. The piano I played on in the linked video is a Yamaha S6 - and the rumbling bass is amazing, and adds so much to the tone of the song: ruclips.net/video/33_Sh-AZvlA/видео.html

Thank you so so much.
You still did a fantastic job with this piece...
I was going to compliment you on your interpretation of songs I grew up listening to. But now I will just say you do a good job. Great job?...fantastic job? ...aw heck.... BRAVO! That's music lingo right isn't it? Keep smiling... And stay safe
Very nice again i was amazed by your talent🥰
your still amazing. I appreciated it very much. thank you.
I don’t know where it started but this placing pianos in public buildings is just so good
St Pancras train station London, England
@@sebby324 really? I always thought New Orleans...usa
I so Agree!They do this in Boston MA too.
I have traveled the U.S
It's rare and needs more of!
Agree 👍🎶😍🇩🇰
When a twelve year child plays music from the 1960;s and the 1970s with such dynamics ( variation in loudness between notes or phrases), great feelings and love, you would know that those two decades were the greatest of the modern music. Artists were more of artists than simply entertainers. Keep up the good work Cole, your parents get the greatest credit.
I wouldn’t even call them entertainers-I assume you are talking about the assaults on our ears that we have suffered on probably the last 30 or more years!! More like attention seeking, obnoxious children. I want to tell them that whoever told them the lie that they could sing you should go punch them in the mouth. When a so called song comes on wit h some of the filthiest language in history it makes me want to throw up.
Thank you, didn’t know Simon & Garfunkel were from the 60s. I heard this in early 1985 and assumed that this was from the 1980s. I am and will remain a Hindustani Music fan but western classical when it sounds good to the ear I do listen.
@@user-vm5ud4xw6n No that's 80s to 2020s music you're referring to I believe, I totally agree! But think, Cilla Black, Peter and Gordon and heaps of others in the 60s and 70s, they were lovely - no vile language and nothing vile in them.
Music pretty much died when the 1980s stars went out of fashion. Ever since it’s become a cut-n-paste with everyone competing to sound ( and look) the same.
b4 capitalism destroyed art and hippies turned into boomers
All the people passing by did not hear the sound of silence, no time to stop and listen to this young lad playing his heart out for free. Thank you for uploading.
Why thumbs down a 12 year old for doing something good in life? Humans, I tell ya. How about spreading some love and 👀 abundance of joy.
Great job, Cole.
✌️❤️
The person who give thumbs down because they just jealous
Yes indeed.😁
Thumbs down doesn’t indicate disapproval, simply lack of interest. It’s an indication to RUclips not to present videos of that nature anymore.
Thumps down were all racist trump supporters hating on an Asian kid
@@robertblaney5033 World is full of arseholes, as you, yourself would know. Biden Boy.
Amazes me how people hurting walking by without stopping and listening to such a beautiful free show.
Congratulations on a beautiful performance. The piano may have been out of tune but you nailed it
It's ironic, because that's the point of the song.
It's a train station, people at train stations tend to be on pretty strict timetables.
@
Yes but the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
@@BunniMonster hence the words echoed in the realms of silence.
Um
That is so sad to see people are in such a hurry they don't have time to just stop and listen to such a great song.
They've trains to catch and Appointments to keep😁
It’s a station not a shopping center. People are always in rush to catch their rides.
Most of them glanced at him though even if they are walking fast.
It’s a great song but a depressing one. Also it’s so overplayed it’s just part of the furniture. It’s like hearing Hey Jude or Yesterday or Let It Be. If I am being honest, I’d move on too, and at a quicker pace than I arrived.
we have so many talented children out there it's time we start recognizing them
Those that stopped, are good hearted people. The lady at the end that was talking with him is a good hearted angel.
There are still people who appreciate beautiful songs and arts, thanks Cole and this lady.
I don't understand how so many people rush by without stopping?!?!? Thank you for the music 🎵🎶
Maybe to catch their train connection? 🤔🤷🏻♀️or it might evoke too much trauma/emotions…I’m watching in the privacy of my home with plenty of time 🤷🏻♀️
They are in an airport.
People hearing without listening
The main reason is... They are in train station or airport. Not shopping mall)))
Robots
This beautiful song was released in 1964...and remains one of my all time favorites..thank you for sharing your talent and may God bless you always 👏👏
My favorite version is by disturbed. It’s such a beautiful song
Hi, excuse me what is this songs name pls
@@photon5768 The Sound of Silence 👍
I was 14 and listening to it on a AM radio.
Pity that people didn't stop and listen to him play. Thank you to the ladies that did stop, especially the lady that talked to this very talented young man.
One of the best songs ever written, and you smashed that out of the park 👏
People just passed by like the song lyrics
People hearing without listening
People talking without speaking
This world is very sad nowadays
Looked like an airport, maybe they didn't have time to stop. What a wonderful interlude while traveling!!
Lynn Hayes well it’s not an airport but it’s one of the busiest train stations in England
I totally agree with you. If I may add a line to what you wrote: "People hearing without listenig, people talking without speaking, + People staring at their cellphones without thinking... The world is very sad nowadays."
Indeed it is, IT has drastically changed our lives. If I had a time machine, I'd travel back to the 70's, when people wrote letters, looked up something in the encyclopedia, went to the library for research, and valued every moment in life without haste and stress.
@@bobbags2827 ...That surprises me. I always thought it was a shopping mall, because of the stores behind the piano. Also because I've seen pianos in malls before. Either way, it's cool that there's one available for people to play.
@@carloslunghard3971 Well said!!
I hope I am never too busy in my life that I can't stop and listen to someone so talented playing such an awesome song. if I am I'm doing it wrong
I totally agree. I would be memorised if I walked past.
You are an AMAZINGLY-TALENTED pianist!! I predict you will have a wildly- successful career a head of you! Thank you for the privilege of hearing you perform!!!
This song has one of the best instrumentals I’ve ever heard. It’s so rich, pure, and lifely.
these ladies, as well as others that listened, were 'sutprised' and delighted', not "shocked" A talented young man indeed.
It is nice to see a 12 year old young man, doing something positive with his life. Music will take you far young man.
So many ppl rushing by in there busy lifes to stop and appreciate. I envy your piano skills kid. Keep it up
Dear Cole Lam, your music soothes even for a while in this time of pandemic. Thanks for your music. Keep climbing higher.
So exquisite. Bringing such talent to the public. You have such skill and talent!
How could people just walk by this young man,if I was there my ears would be glued to him,you know you see and hear a great performance when your eyes get wet. God Bless you young man.
How sad it is to see so many people passing by without stopping to listen.
So incredibly talented. So nice to see young kids still looking to be musical and artsy. I would have stopped and watched for hours!
He can sing so good
To many kids today are to busy playing on computers and there phones, I have two Granddaughter and I can't get them to play any instruments there on there phone all the time, I was in music when I was young, I still be if I didn't have a accident losing part of my finger. Again great job Bernie.
Although that's kind of sad, you can't really blame computers and phones. Before these things existed, it wasn't like 100% of the population played an instrument.
My advice: Let them be amazed by someone playing an instrument, they will instantly want to be able to play as well. Of course, the song that gets played matters a lot.
I also think i would have stopped,listened,watched and cried for sure😪
I'm just so grateful that the most talented young people step up and start playing the classics again. You're amazing thank you
And so many people rushing by, involved in themselves without stopping a moment to enjoy the sweet things of life. It's a bad sign of the world we live in. What a fine performance.
It's great when everyone is in the middle of hustling/bustling and stop to hear this young man. Excellent
But they didn't! How can they walk past without a glance? SAD.
This clearly illustrates just how few people are left who still have class and a sense of values!!!
I admire millenials who appreciate, sing or play any musical instruments about music from the seventies or sixties. Wonderful playing of The Sound Of Silence by a young lad. So great and awesome!
I'm 44 but I can't really understand how silence can still have sound in it lol! Probably the most noisiest silence in the world ever heard.
Brought me to tears. I wish I had such talent. Thank GOD that you are blessed to be able to play with such emotion and to be able to affect some many passerbys. Such a gift!
I took piano lessons for 6 years. I started when I was 9 and I still play even now at the age of 70, but to play that well at 12? FANTASTIC!
Thank you. I love how music never really leaves you?
James Holland - So you've been playing for 61 years?? wow ! 😲
WOW James Holland Ji that is fantastic. Yes at 65 I’ve been listening to Hindustani Music from the age of 6. But could never learn because of the greatest subject on God’s beautiful world, ‘Mathematics’ now as a retired Prof of OBG I spend my time listening to music and reading.
Absolutely astonishing! Gives me great pleasure and joy watching the younger generations bringing instruments to life like this! ❤️
He’s amazing. It’s hard for me not to stop and listen to him. Beautiful.😊
Cole Lam is bringing the world together thru music and it's amazing! Cole has a live show every other Sunday where he listens to your song request and plays by ear, so subscribe and hit that notification bell. If you enjoyed this your family will probably enjoy his live shows too, so
please share his channel far and wide.
Peace, Love, Unity and Freedom!
I'm amazed at people who just walk by this chance of a lifetime without taking some minutes out of their "busy" life to stop and behold this young maestro playing this beautiful classic so masterfully and with such authority and control. I know, it would have stopped me dead in my tracks.
You’re too young but you know the meaning of good music. I love old songs. They’re so meaningful. Keep going Cole. You can reach your dream, God Bless young man.....
Hey Cole.
I haven’t spoken to you in a long time. I just wanted to say thank you for another beautiful song because you are gracious enough to share with the rest of us your great talent.
Please don’t stop❤️
この少年の良いところは演奏に歌心があるところですね！この曲のメロディを感じながら愛情を込めて演奏しています♪！多少のミスタッチがあっても熱い心がそれをカバーしています！お年寄りの女性が心打たれたのが良く分かります❣️
Tears to my eyes. Just needed some beautiful, emotional music.
This made me cry. It's so cool to see how proud people are.
There is hardly any music that can beat the sounds of a skilled piano player, one artist captivates an entire audience young and old with only 1 instrument and "10" fingures, BRILLIANT YOUNG FELLA
I have no music ability, I am pensioner.
When there is love of the music. My. tears flow and my heart , spirit soars. I tell others.
Music that touches the remote part of the heart, it is eternal, Thank you from my heart and spirit.
We are impoverished without Music .And the true spirit sings for all of us.
Everytime I watch and listen when he plays the piano 🎹 it makes me 😭 so good to hear
This is why I love music. It brings people together. Brilliant!
Performing in public is telling his story freely for everyone passes by to listen n to pause for a moment to catch the essence of his dream👍well done! Go higher while the wind is still on to take you to the highest💓with love!
He always make my heart melted since my mom passed away... thank you beautiful one.. God bless you and family...wish you more wishes and blessings 🤗😇💛🙏🌼😍😍🌻
I love watching for the moment when someone realizes that there is something happening that cannot be missed.
Young person can play this difficult music very passionately. I praise him
Music is the window to our soul, there are only a handful of people that can unlock the beauty of this gift.
Beautiful rendition of Sound of Silence Cole. Simon and Garfunkel produced some of the finest music ever and it is simply timeless. Bridge over Troubled Water was and still is one of my favouites. It was nice to see the appreciation shown by the lady who spoke to you. Again Thank you for sharing your amazing gift which gives so much pleasure.
Yes, I love the Simon and Garfunkel version. This is actually an arrangement combining that and the Disversion. Have you heard that one?
I'm a huge S&G fan. Why don't you write me. Baby driver. The only living boy in new York. Cesila they were simply a inspiration to the music world. But so was hot august nights.
I can do that almost as good, if not better. No, really. I could stand and watch him play masterfully, just like these ladies did ! 😁 Seriously, beautiful Cole, thank you !
🤣
Randy Porter You could be a fantastic randy porter.
Those people are very lucky to hear your performance. So talented, so young with the support of
your parents. Wonderful! Bright future!
I learned this song with flute when I was 15, but you have performed it amazing than my companions and I with your outstanding skill which is plying the piano like Mozart.
Cole I watch all you videos and I love them all but honestly when I see people especially older people react like when they listen to you it breaks my heart seriously you bring so much joy to peoples life’s young man you should be so proud of yourself xxx
Impressive. Wonderfully played.
Felt the emotions to the core in heart when most people around didn't even stop to listen. Just like it's said in song.
Ofcourse they will have their reasons of being in hurry etc but so does everyone else around the world even now.
I remember when my eldest was learning piano in the eighties and early nineties he wanted so much to play ‘Chariots of Fire’. At that point he couldn’t do the full reach for the chords at the beginning so wrote his own version of that part! Sadly, his teacher wasn’t impressed, but I was and loved to hear him play.
God bless anyone who has the talent or the nerve to share their passion/talent with us!!! Thank You Big Time!!!
Now you see all those lessons were worth it...
Now you can do something not everyone can do...lift the spirits of your fellow man...
How do you just walk by and not stop and watch this young man play, I am impressed, no sheet music in front of you, I love this song too, thanks
Most beautiful piece I have ever heard on piano. No lie.
You made me cry.
Bless you and your soul language ❤
Who in their right mind gives your performances a thumbs down? Dude, you're amazing. Keep up the beautiful performances!
The environment is actually perfect for this song
The Sound of Silence is one of MY favourite songs, too, and you played it beautifully. I can still remember buying the album (yes, an LP!) back in 1974, my first year at University, and enjoying this song above all the others ... such a perfect blending of poetry and music.
I find it very beautiful to see how you give people such moments, how they pause and perceive only the "now". This moment. You touch people and each one feels something very personal or remembers something from the past. Really great!
The oldies really knows this wonderful song...and I so love it🥰
Thank you for a lovely performance of a song that is still a timely commentary
on our shallow materialist culture and your choice of venue was very effective. In fact it made me cry...
Love this, will be the last song on my funeral, I talk to much sooo it works like a ending, this song is so nice, your performance was good... 🇸🇪😉🎶
The power of your playing, the excellence of your playing...are transportive!!!!
This song has always been very close to my heart. All the way back to Simon & Garfunkle. Thank you for your performance. It was beautiful.
Keep up your good work Cole! The Earth needs all of you talented young people with our future music! ❤️
How can just people not even stop for a moment and watch a brilliant young talent.
A beautiful song he played. I loved every second of this clip.
Thank you for sharing. XO
You are not a Classic Rock fan if you scroll this down without watching. One of the best Piano covers of this song hands down. Let alone the young age.
Thank you. This a a bit of a mashup of Simon and Garfunkel and Disturbed! 😊
Lol I'm with her, I can't believe you're only 12. Good job as always Cole 👍🙌. 🌺
WOWWW! A STAR is BORN! Just beautiful, young man!
A song made in the 60's and humanity kneels for it until today. And deservedly
You do have a true gift and you are using it to help people slow down if for only a moment to listen to your compositions and to hopefully take their minds off of unpleasant or unnecessary thoughts.
Happy Thanksgiving Cole!
Cheers à
Brought me to tears young man ! Been a lover of SG every since “ I am a rock”. Truly lovely but I would love to see a tuner or two stand up and help keep these pianos in tune to complement such gifted artists such as your self ! Thank you from the bottom of an old mans heart 💓
It's nice to see people actually stopping. Everyone is in so much hurry!
people stopping without shopping...
What I find amazing is people just walk by without stopping to appreciate the music.
I would probably just stand there and cry if I got to see something like this.
As one who grew up during the S and G era, this moved me to tears. Bravo. And next time put out a tip jar!!
salute boy,,i just hope someday i meet you when you visit in my philippines,,i cancel all my appointment if you came to visit in my country,,thank you for your sharing talent,god is good for us,,
It's 6 AM and I should be asleep but I'm watching this over and over. There's so much emotion in your version of this song ❤️
Try this one. The piano is a lot nicer and in tune! ruclips.net/video/33_Sh-AZvlA/видео.html
For whatever reason, the mighty YT Algorithm decided to recommend this video today & I'm glad it did. SUPER performance in a less than optimal setting on a less than optimal instrument. NOW - for all those lamenting in the comments about so many people rushing past & not stopping to enjoy - go back & notice all the folks rushing past have their rolling carry-on luggage in tow...b/c this was probably filmed in a terminal. Getting the full picture before judging others is never a bad idea.
In a mall, holidays... People are elevated by this whether they stop to enjoy, or just enjoy in passing. The good vibes( literally) keep the holiday mood festive. I would appreciate it as I walked by. Only westerners feel the need to stand and clap. Many people smile their approval
Cole I must tell you this I wish I could walk in your shoes you are a very impressive young man I am very pleased with your hard work and studying I feel honored to know you you fill me with so much joy when you play you complete my happiness when I'm feeling lost
As always that piece makes me cry. I hard it first on the radio when it first came out. This rendition did it very proud indeed - impressive - thank you!
I have a piano at home that just sits gathering dust... watching you play has inspired me🎶🎵
Cool! Play again!
I love this song, Sound of Silence. The pianist is amazing , he is still very young, but his talent is remarkable.
The music is the universal language. Thank you so much for your interpretation.
I'm a proud mom myself and your son is amazing. Well done Cole. Watching from Canada. 😊
You have such raw,natural talent! It's so cool to see younger people appreciate & play older music! I read the description..and I agree with what you said about Disturbed's version! David Draiman's voice adds such depth & richness to the original! Best of luck to you in the future! 😊🙂
Such a talented kid, just enjoy what your doing, one of this day gonna have a big name that all over the world know you.
Que sociedad tenemos que no tienen 5 minutos para disfrutar de algo tan bello como esta canción y tan bien lograda...
This is how a star is made. I first saw this over a year ago. It's hard to forget what this sweet UK lady exclaimed when you answered her question about your musical training. This is what everybody thinks when they understand how wonderful your background that produces such beautiful music.
This song always brings tears to my eyes
Hello Karen
This is the best ever putting the lyrics out through an instrument...great performance!
