Alysa Spivak Agreed. It's likely because playing so beautifully gives him as much pleasure and joy as it does for us. It must surely be this way for everyone who truly loves music.
I am a musician, I hear many cellists. You make it speak. You give it a soul. Sometimes I listen to this and just cry, that God loves us this much. Thank you for what you do.
The best part of your videos, is the passion written on your face. It's like you get lost in it, into another world where only bliss exists. And I think that's beautiful.
Now it all makes sense. Kevin is a secret member of a group of quadruplets. I knew it wasn't possible for one person to be this talented. I can finally rest easy.
Kevin: ok guys! Everyone get your cellos out and put in the amps! Them: yes master. *does all that* Kevin: Cellos up! *plays this song on repeat at max volume* THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *john cena theme*
His face and body language look as if he is singing what he is playing. It's really a beautiful thing to watch. Most musicians have a very focused face when they play. It's nice to see someone who looks so happy doing what they are doing.
OMG !!!!! I'm crying, really... I tried to find this song for 1 year... I couldn't take out it from my head...From month to month I sang it and cried.... Happily, I remember one name-Kevin. I goggled, and...I find it !!!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I LOVE YOU FOR YOUR ARTS!!!!!!
Used this song during my wedding processional... Kind of sick of the original version but I had to use this version because it's so beautiful! It made my wedding perfect. :)
Kevin you amazing, handsome, TALENTED, kind HUMAN BEING oh my gosh WHY!?! Why are you just so Amazing?????? Ugh!! I just, just love you so much Kevin, and you just warm up my heart!!! The way you smile when playing? Like why do you have to be so awesome??? Ugh, Kevin, you make my day, week, month, year, decade, century, etc... ALL HAIL KING KEVIN!!!!
This video seriously made me cry! Not just because he played it amazingly but because he has the ability to make you feel every emotion through his natural gift of music. This man has more talent than most could ever dream of having. I humbly thank you Kevin you sharing your gift with the world!!!
I've never really been into string instruments of any kind, but it just sounds so unique and magical whenever Kevin plays. I could listen to him playing the cello all day long!
Donaldson Kids Fun fact: he also plays saxophone (I forgot if it's alto or tenor), and he's an amazing beatboxer. You ever heard of Pentatonix? Or Tryptiq? Those are both groups he's in, and they both sound absolutely amazing.
So I am so sure you get this ALL the time. But this is my song to my fiancé and I was going to hire some students from the high school to play the cello playing THIS exact track, while I walk down the aisle. I am in Chicago and our wedding date is June 10, 2017 you must come and grace us on the most important day of our lives. 🤗 You're incredible and left me smiling cheesy and blubbering simultaneously. xoxo
I didn't think I needed another cover of this song, since it's been done so many times. But Kevin does it so well, I've fallen in love with it all over again.
so.. Kevin play piano, cello(like a god), saxophone, he speak mandarin. He is a very very very very (very) good beatboxer , he has a really beautiful voice. is he human ?
Amazing! The only thing that can top it off is he did this with John Legend and Lindsey Sterling. He and Sterling already collaborated on two songs so it shouldnt be too hard to get them together.
All I imagined how it would be when you said you tried your best to replicate the essence of human vocal by your cello did came true when I heard it and it's waaayyy more perfect... I woke up at 2.30 in the morning here just to watch this and thanks for making it worth it and plus a lullaby for me to fall asleep again... Love from Malaysia Kevin...
It really is nice to see someone of Nigerian heritage in the news, on social media and being talked about for something positive and not scam mails etc. Not all of us are crooks! Keep up the great work.
K-ind E-xcellent V-ictorious I-inteligent N-arcotic Everything in ONE person, in ONE musical talent, in ONE beautiful soul. Kevin - You are fanstastic! Greetings from Poland!:))
The reason I appreciate you so much other than your superb musicianship, is that in every video you have a smile, because it's obvious that you love what you do, and I look up to that so much. So Thank You :)
THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. It's easy to forget all the textures a cello is capable of. Take my money. I'll be buying your album after hearing these two. Can't wait for more! Oh, and thank you for bringing the cello into the modern...whatever!
I don't know if you read these, but could you make a video generally going over your left hand technique? The vocal inflections that you produce and emotions that you paint are flawlessly executed. The cello has a beautiful sound and a timbre similar to that of a human voice and I don't think that is anywhere more apparent than in your revolutionary artistry. As a cellist myself, I have always been a fan of arranging popular music for cello -- especially when it is by PTX :) -- and I want to learn how you execute it so beautifully. I really enjoy what you are doing. Your passion and ability show that the universal language of music can transcend all boundaries. It is amazing that a sound produced by an instrument created in the 16th century can still touch the hearts and minds of modern listeners half a millennium later. What you're doing is truly spectacular and people around the world love it. All I want to do is continue to spread that love :)
Kevin takes Joy and puts it into every nano second of life, especially when performing. He IS joy. so enjoy watching and listening to anything he does.
My Dear Kev...I don't know when you ever sleep, but I am so incredibly thankful that you continuously push forward! Your music is incredible and I LOVE this EP! It is a great positive way to start my day. Thank you for your endless hard work! It is simply beautiful. ❤️ Sending much love, light, happiness & prayers your way! Rock on "Meat"!
10 days after this video was released, this was my first song with my husband. I will always remember him singing the song to me while we danced and I wished this was what was playing rather than the actual song. So beautiful and memorable.
I actually cried during this. Not only is this an amazing song in general, but your KOver of it is absolutely beautiful, as well as your smile throughout the whole video. Music truly makes you happy, it seems. And yours makes me happy.
He has always been my favorite member of pentatonix and IMO he should be the most famous of the group. He can do it all; sing, rap, beatbox like no other, and play one of my favorite sounding instruments. I was moved to tears by this. I want to meet and hug him 😭
Kevin, the music you make with your cello is beautiful, and the way you smile while doing it shows you love doing it. Not many people can smile as big as you while they play. Kudos to you!
What a pretty vibrato. There is someone in my class who can also do an absolutely lovely vibrato, and I confess that I just am not certain how they (Kevin or Unnamed Peer) do it so well
This has brought me to tears as well as... Speechless. There's nothing you can't do Kevin, honestly. Thank you for sharing all of your many God given talents as well as the ones that you mastered through determination. God bless you and your new wife and may you both bring wonderful tiny humans into this world with as much love as your parents gave you but also with how much your fans have. Love it, KO!
My friend told me to look up him since he is really good and I know him from Pentatonix #PentatonixLover. But DANG GINA I didn't know he could throw down like this. He made me cry it gave a sensuous feeling, hit me in my heart.
is it just me or does Kevin's smile just make you feel happy and positive
+Nicholas rowe It is definetely not just you my friend. He has a smile that is so bright it will make the sun jealous.
+Nicholas rowe your right
+Nicholas rowe i was thinking the same thing. so admirable.
Your rite I was think of that to
+Beth rowe it make me feel that way
I just love the way he smiles when he's playing.
What a talent...
Alysa Spivak Agreed. It's likely because playing so beautifully gives him as much pleasure and joy as it does for us. It must surely be this way for everyone who truly loves music.
You can tell he loves it, it’s so amazing
I think the exact same thing!!
I can see you are one of my real fan .. hope you don't mind dropping your hangout email or Whatsapp contact so we talk.
So basically, Kevin can play every instrument on the earth, sing like an angel, and beatbox like a boss. I'm officially nothing
Don't forget that he went to yale and can speak mandarin
LooHooIsTrue and he played saxophone
***** and piano.
+DayaSloten is mandarin a type of Chinese language or is he trilingual?
+Alex it's one of the two languages in china. The other language being Cantonese.
I like how he smiles when he plays that cello. It makes me feel happy for him... :)
I agree; his smile makes me smile. :)
hes talented
watched all videos, have never seen anyone so happy to play an instrument.
I love how his literally smiling throughout the whole video 😍👍👌
I am a musician, I hear many cellists. You make it speak. You give it a soul. Sometimes I listen to this and just cry, that God loves us this much. Thank you for what you do.
Do you ever just look at Kevin and feel warm and happy inside? Yeah, me too
yaaasss ❤️😍Cuz he is so perfect
+Alexandra Sara he is not perfect only God is perfect but is cool and he can play
McCarthy Girls its a hyperbole. dont take it too srsly
+McCarthy Girls chill
+McCarthy Girls God isn't real though.
The best part of your videos, is the passion written on your face. It's like you get lost in it, into another world where only bliss exists. And I think that's beautiful.
Well said!!!
Now it all makes sense. Kevin is a secret member of a group of quadruplets. I knew it wasn't possible for one person to be this talented. I can finally rest easy.
Wasabifold that actually would be more terrifying than just one of him, they'd be unstoppable lol
They'd take over the world
Wasabifold lol..
Kevin: ok guys! Everyone get your cellos out and put in the amps!
Them: yes master. *does all that*
Kevin: Cellos up! *plays this song on repeat at max volume* THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *john cena theme*
😂😂😂😂😂
Kevin makes everything sound better with a cello.
AGREED!!!
you are so right
Okay y'all, cellist here. I hope you guys understand how good Kevin really is!!! His tone is INSANE! Bravissimo! ❤️
I'm 66 years old and I don't think I have ever heard anything as beautiful as this. I cry tears when I listen...
The look of pure joy when he is playing is everything
His face and body language look as if he is singing what he is playing. It's really a beautiful thing to watch. Most musicians have a very focused face when they play. It's nice to see someone who looks so happy doing what they are doing.
OMG !!!!! I'm crying, really... I tried to find this song for 1 year... I couldn't take out it from my head...From month to month I sang it and cried.... Happily, I remember one name-Kevin. I goggled, and...I find it !!!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I LOVE YOU FOR YOUR ARTS!!!!!!
I guess you could say this video is shot in 4K. Ayyyyyyyyyyy
His face alone gives me hope for the future omg
Kevin you make the original sound so much better and you don't even need the lyrics! The lyrics comes out naturally when we hear your KOver. 😃
Well said
I Couldn't Have said it better!!
Kevin is a total boss. Im glad hes in Pentatonix.
oh how things have changed
@@alysham1809
Lmao what?
@@TranquillShot he's not in pentatonix anumore
Alysha M You mean Avi?. Lmao Wtf
Kevin is the most talented person I've ever seen, hands down
I don't think the world could handle 4 Kevins, Way to much awesomeness.
The most beautiful is to see that they touch always smiling and feeling the music!!
Used this song during my wedding processional... Kind of sick of the original version but I had to use this version because it's so beautiful! It made my wedding perfect. :)
+Suzicals Aww that's so sweet! Good for you ;)
Suzicals I plan on doing the same
Suzicals same I'm definitely going to use this version at my wedding
I’m going to play Pentatonix everything and this and superfruit and i will invite all of the fangirls. PERFECT!!!!
I was hoping to hear him singing this in his sweet voice, but it's such a gorgeous instrumental arrangement I really can't mind :)
Johanna A. Florez
I love you too much to be my friend
Kevin, I really do think choosing music over medicine wasn't a bad thing. You can heal the spirit with your music.
It is so easy to see he plays with so much passion. That passion makes it 10 times better to listen to and watch. BEAUTIFUL!
Kevin you amazing, handsome, TALENTED, kind HUMAN BEING oh my gosh WHY!?! Why are you just so Amazing?????? Ugh!! I just, just love you so much Kevin, and you just warm up my heart!!! The way you smile when playing? Like why do you have to be so awesome??? Ugh, Kevin, you make my day, week, month, year, decade, century, etc... ALL HAIL KING KEVIN!!!!
This video seriously made me cry! Not just because he played it amazingly but because he has the ability to make you feel every emotion through his natural gift of music. This man has more talent than most could ever dream of having. I humbly thank you Kevin you sharing your gift with the world!!!
I've never really been into string instruments of any kind, but it just sounds so unique and magical whenever Kevin plays. I could listen to him playing the cello all day long!
this genious is truly singing with his Cello..from the bottom of the heart.
5 AM - time for bed I guess
OH LOOK ANOTHER KOVER!!
This is literally me
🤚
I just love how he plays the cello. He's probably the first and only person I listen to who only plays the cello
Donaldson Kids Fun fact: he also plays saxophone (I forgot if it's alto or tenor), and he's an amazing beatboxer. You ever heard of Pentatonix? Or Tryptiq? Those are both groups he's in, and they both sound absolutely amazing.
Yes, I've actually heard of Pentatonix, I love them
Oh, honey. You should listen to some Yo-Yo Ma, too. The cello is truly the most beautifully expressive instrument.
This guy has music in his hands. No joke!!
So I am so sure you get this ALL the time. But this is my song to my fiancé and I was going to hire some students from the high school to play the cello playing THIS exact track, while I walk down the aisle. I am in Chicago and our wedding date is June 10, 2017 you must come and grace us on the most important day of our lives. 🤗 You're incredible and left me smiling cheesy and blubbering simultaneously. xoxo
This sounds like the soundtrack to a gorgeous sunset. It's sO PeRfeCt oh mAh gErD
Honestly speaking, you are god's court musician. Even if you aren't, you absolutely deserve to be. Great Job Kevin!!! You are my role model!!!
Thank you for showing my 12 year old son that playing the cello is still awsome. We at our house await your next post.
It's amazing how he does that he's amazing
I didn't think I needed another cover of this song, since it's been done so many times. But Kevin does it so well, I've fallen in love with it all over again.
This might be the most beautiful piece of music on RUclips. I can't stand the original, but I could listen to this forever.
so.. Kevin play piano, cello(like a god), saxophone,
he speak mandarin.
He is a very very very very (very) good beatboxer , he has a really beautiful voice.
is he human ?
I feel sad.
why ?
+OneFrenchGirl He also graduated from Yale.
He is KING
+Jiya Nguyen okay now it's sure, Kevin isn't human,
Kevin is black, for this reason is so awesome xD
Is it wierd that I put this on repeat and listen to it really quietly to fall asleep to? Because I do. Soooooo beautiful.
It just fills me up with joy and makes me so happy that he looks so happy doing what he seems to love ^-^ im just so glad to see him happy =D
I can't get over the joy on his face while he plays his cello. It just makes me smile :D You're so very talented Kevin!
Amazing! The only thing that can top it off is he did this with John Legend and Lindsey Sterling. He and Sterling already collaborated on two songs so it shouldnt be too hard to get them together.
You can see it in his face his smile his expression: he loves it deeply. It's beautiful.
it makes me smile when i see how much he smiles while playing his songs :)
K.O performing with an orchestra with music arranged by him as well as his unique mix of beats - damn I'd love to see that live!
All I imagined how it would be when you said you tried your best to replicate the essence of human vocal by your cello did came true when I heard it and it's waaayyy more perfect... I woke up at 2.30 in the morning here just to watch this and thanks for making it worth it and plus a lullaby for me to fall asleep again... Love from Malaysia Kevin...
when I'm sad I just watch Kevin's videos, they make me feel happy af
It really is nice to see someone of Nigerian heritage in the news, on social media and being talked about for something positive and not scam mails etc. Not all of us are crooks! Keep up the great work.
I'm so inlove...Dear God, please grant me the perfection that is Kevin Olusola.
You play with your soul it's like you breathe thru this instrument my goodness so beautiful!!!
I'm debating whether or not Kevin is even human, like holy crap
Yeah like how can a human get so much talent?! Beside him i'm noone and nothing haha
no kiding!
Ava Joy"""" gifted""" that simply defines kevin's talent
Yes he's human. He's what happens when growth isn't stunted by other people's hang ups or fear.
it's people like Kevin and DSharp that have inspired me to be a better person
K-ind

He is awesome. I didn't know the Cello sounded so beautiful. I love it.
Kevin is seriously the most talented and genuine person on earth. This touched a part of my soul I didn't even know I had.
Music is the blood flowing in his veins. The passion, focus and awesomeness. overflowing. #Humility
This just made me cry. This is so incredible, its needs to have a ton more views stat!
Nicole Baker so true! He is talented af!

KEVIN YOU TALENTED HUMAN BEING GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL
He's not human. : )
Corky Hohepa He is not a human but a god
10 days after this video was released, this was my first song with my husband. I will always remember him singing the song to me while we danced and I wished this was what was playing rather than the actual song. So beautiful and memorable.
very powerful rendition. kevin you're a true artist
This is my favorite love song, you play it amazingly. Thank you Kevin.
Amber, Asher
This was one of my favorite tracks on the Renegade EP and this video is perfect. Kevin is taking more and more of my heart with every note!
I actually cried during this. Not only is this an amazing song in general, but your KOver of it is absolutely beautiful, as well as your smile throughout the whole video. Music truly makes you happy, it seems. And yours makes me happy.
Goosebumps. Goosebumps everywhere
He has always been my favorite member of pentatonix and IMO he should be the most famous of the group. He can do it all; sing, rap, beatbox like no other, and play one of my favorite sounding instruments. I was moved to tears by this. I want to meet and hug him 😭
O-M-G...Starting to think this song was truly created just so that you create this better-than-the-origianl rendition.
Stunningly beautiful song. What an amazing gift he has.
You really are making this instrument speak like it has a voice :)
I'm in love with your cover keep doing what you're doing so amazing Kevin :))
Kevin, the music you make with your cello is beautiful, and the way you smile while doing it shows you love doing it. Not many people can smile as big as you while they play. Kudos to you!
Goosebumps and tears listening to this... Well done
This man is so wonderfully perfect.
What a pretty vibrato. There is someone in my class who can also do an absolutely lovely vibrato, and I confess that I just am not certain how they (Kevin or Unnamed Peer) do it so well
This brought me to actual tears. It was so beautiful.
If I get married (IF), I want this song to be played as I walk down the isle. Or other covers by Kevin. :')
OMG! Me too!
Or if i die (alone😂)
+Klinsie awh
I don't think there is anything more beautiful than this :)
I play cello but I'm speechless; Oh Gosh, Kevin you're just amazing...
This has brought me to tears as well as... Speechless. There's nothing you can't do Kevin, honestly. Thank you for sharing all of your many God given talents as well as the ones that you mastered through determination.

I am literally CRYING. Wow!! Kevin! This is so beautiful!

😱Do it!
