Story behind the music video:
[Steven #, the cellist, here]
So as you might have guessed, we haven’t been touring lately. It’s safe to say that Covid has thrown us for a “loop.” In nothing short of a miracle, last year, before the pandemic showed up, we had determined as a group to take our first break from touring in 10 years and focus on family during 2020. It might have been the first time our plans actually matched up with our reality.
We love performing. Touring can be grueling. I dread the inevitable tour-induced insomnia. During a recent tour I was determined to make something of my sleeplessness. My friend Devin, who works in an international ancestry research company, inspired me to dig into my family history. With his help, I found a slew of stories -- profound stories of my great great grandfathers and grandmothers and how they overcame an impossible past to make our family’s future possible. In my insomnia, during many late nights on tour, I summarized and rewrote these incredible accounts in first person addressed to my children, so that I could read them as our bedtime stories. That way, my children’s heroes would be their ancestors -- their own kin. The lesson we could learn together was this:
If THEY could do hard things then WE can do hard things too.
Resilience is inheritable.
What does this have to do with this video? Everything.
In this music video, we sped through an eerily empty natural history museum and a public library -- something we could only do during Covid. Why? To prove the same point and send the same message asserted in these bedtime stories. We have grand places like these that you see in this video all throughout our world. They are monuments to human resilience. They house exhibits and shelve books upon books of biographical buoyancy. They showcase hard-earned scientific scenes that serve as the shoulders upon which we stand today -- evidence written into the very fabric of our earth’s crust of how hard things are what we do. We’re built for them. We’re made for them.
And all those that have gone before cry out to us -- wanting to mean something to someone. To be someone to us.
Someone to You.
It’s not as much about WHAT is in our past, but WHO is in our past. Our ancestors stand ennobled by their own grit and perseverance earned through things much harder than what we face, not only to inform our future, but also to endow us with much needed strength for whatever is ahead. They’ve earned our respect, gratitude and our commitment to overcome.
“When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves.”
-Russell M. Nelson

Dear Piano Guys, thank you for smiling when you play your music. I know that not every day as a professional musician is bliss, but I do know that you’re efforts have raised my spirits many times over the years. I teach music at Dixie State University and really enjoyed your video you filmed recently on our campus. Thanks for all you give.
I really agree with what you have just said. It's not easy being a professional musician. I am a pharmacist who makes music too and I know how difficult it can get to produce great music like this one. I am so glad The Piano Guys persisted through thick and thin after all these years. Look at them now. They are so successful. Their first work of music by them that I listened was the mashup of Love Story/Viva La Vida. Ever since then, I became their loyal fan. They inspired me to continue making great music despite it's not easy juggling between pharmacy and music. I am definitely looking forward for more music stuff from them.
Music is a wonderful gift to the heart and soul. 🤗❤️🕊️
This channel is a big reason why I started playing cello
Same here my guy!!
And you're the reason I KEEP playing cello! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you, Random Random. Can I just call you Random? 🤓 -Your fellow cellist, #

I love there music

I read the description...
My great-grandma is my hero because she was really kind and even though all the hard things she went through she always thought of others first. She died 4 years ago, when I was nine, at the age of 94.
I do not remember much about her because when I was old enough to remember stuff she was sick and could not do much. One of the only things I remember is that we would go to get house and get ice cream, even if it was winter and snowing outside. If she ran out of ice cream she would close the curtains so that people would not come hoping for ice cream. She was an amazing person and we have her favorite food, sloppy joes, every year on her birthday every year to honor her. I am proud to have her name.
If you read this, thank you, now please go read the description if you have not already.
This is SO special, Amelia. Thank you for sharing. This is what this song is all about. Thanks for reading the story behind the song.
From studying to meditating, your music is always my go to. Seeing you perform at the Greek Theatre was an incredible experience I will never forget. A call & autographed CD would literally be a dream come true. Thanks for being there for your fans!
My great grandma (dad's side) went through a lot in her life too and was so kind to everyone. My mum is my hero for similar reasons, but I can still thank her every day.
"You want to play INSIDE the exhibit?"
"Um, yes?"
"And you want to fly your drone right past our glass chandelier?
"Yes...?"
"Alright then, just checking."
💖
😂😂
I thought the exact same thing! The Drone that went past the glass chandelier, good work camera guys!
😂😂😂 lol
Camera guy: How many drone shots do you want?
Piano guys: Yes
They say a person's final death comes the last time someone says their name. Remember those who went before, and reach out (safely) to those you know now.
My daughters are the most resilient people I know - as military kids, they had to be. And yet with other hiccups and hardships they have dealt with, they have still become two of the strongest adults I know.
Thank you as always, Piano Guys. We have seen two of your concerts, and the second one came fairly shortly after my mother died and after Jon's daughter died - watching him still able to play and have joy, reminded me "It's Gonna Be Ok". Something inside began to heal that night. Your music heals, guys.
It's going to be ok. Blessings being sent your way!
EVERYONE: Go read the description, the story behind their location choices. It's beautiful ♡
My hero is my grandmother, "Wonderful Wanda." She earned that name because she never gave up on anyone. And when they gave up on themselves she pulled them from the corners they tried to hide in and she took them in. Everytime. Everyone. Over and over again. No matter what they did.
LOVE TO WONDERFUL WANDA! Thank you Michelle. SHE is who we wrote this song for.
I wish I had someone like that in my corner, she sounds amazing! ❤️

You guys are amazing! I have been here for years and grew up listening to your music. May God bless you!
@ThePianoGuys another classic!
Listening to this song makes me soo happy! Can't stop playing it on and on!! :)
You guys have amazing talent and you produce some seriously beautiful music. You even have the distinction of the only people who can turn a song I don't like into a cover I'll listen to repeatedly!
Someone who will impact me for the rest of my life is my grandfather. He passed earlier this week. I've been learning more about his life. He was the head of the family. He left a righteous legacy that I want to follow. Things were tough for him throughout his life. In the end, he couldn't speak or do anything for himself. But he never stopped being sweet and loving. I think that is a result of living a life full of gratitude and love. I never want to forget that.
Your Grandpa sounds like he was an incredible person. I am so, so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss!
What can I say? I think he is at a better place with love and peace. I am sorry for your loss.
Four years ago we heard you live at the National Theatre in DC and were blown away! Such style, grace and absolute talent...your love of God and your telling of His life in your life was so refreshing and uplifting. Our father was to attend the concert with the 12 of us as a Christmas gift but daddy passed away that November. We gave the ticket to our nephew Nicholas, a music lover, too. Two years ago Nicholas took his life. Both of these beautiful people will live forever in our hearts! Your music, your radiating love of your music, your joy in sharing these gifts with the world touch our hearts and put a fire in our spirit. Thank you!
This season I’m thankful for the talents of all of the Piano Guys! Exceptional drone piloting! I admire my great great grandmother- she was half Cherokee Indian. She battled prejudices to raise her children in the Deep South. 🧡
Awwww! Thank you, Elizabeth. We're grateful for YOU! Happy Thanksgiving!
I LOVE THIS SONG. BANNERS AND THE PIANO GUYS TOGETHER?!?!??!?
SUCH a great tune, right? We loved it from the moment we heard it. Thanks Vivian!
Ikr the banners are the best
@@thepianoguys omg you guys are the reason why I started playing cello
Me too, i had a *moment* when I saw the song name ❤️

This week I learned that I am a direct descendent of ten people who sailed on the Mayflower. I am always amazed of the courage to leave everything you know because you know there is something better out there for you. I also loved the stories of my Grandpa who was born in 1920. The stories growing up during the Great Depression, trying several times to enlist during World War II, but being told he was too skinny (thanks to starving during the Great Depression), so he drank milkshakes every night until he weight just enough to enlist. The stories of his 96 years of life were always inspiring and incredible because of who he was, and the Greatest Generation he was a part of.
I know this isn't in my ancestry, but another hero of mine is my five-year-old son. He was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer, just after his third birthday. The incredibly difficult things he had to endure and work through, still amaze me today. He is my miracle boy and I have continued to learn that I can do hard things.
I am also a descendant of a mayflower passenger, Mr. George Soule.
Someone important to me in my family history... It may sound cliche, and it's not super far back but my first thought was my dad. My dad has told me so many stories and he has an amazing testimony. When he was 9 or 10 years old, living in a country side home in West Virginia, he was converted into the church. He, his brothers, grandparents and mom would travel 45 minutes every Sunday to receive the sacrament. In the winter, they drove through treacherous snow blizzards for nearly an hour, just to receive the sacrament. I got to visit his church 3 years ago and even though I was only 15, it brought so much spirit to me. When my dad turned 18, he served his mission in the Dakota's. When he got back from his mission, my dad decided to take a large leap of faith, and he moved to Utah. He attended BYU Provo, and then eventually he found himself in Logan going to USU. One day, he met my Mom... I like to believe that if it weren't for the missionaries that converted my dad, he never would have followed a new path. I love my home. I love my faith, my family, and everything that I have gone through to lead me to where I am today. I am grateful for my trials, because through my Dad's history I have been taught that only great things are to come in my future. Many hard things may happen, it will be hard, but I will grow stronger from it.
Thank you, dad for teaching me this.
This cover really touched my heart. I have looked up to the piano guys all my life. I remember being 8 years old and blasting their beautiful covers on my mp3 player. I remember being 10 and my sister walked down the isle on her wedding day to their cover of A Thousand Years. I've been to their concert, and I had the time of my life. You guys really love what you're doing, and I look up to you for your light. Thank you
I've said it before and I'll say it again, these guys LOVE what they do and it shows! It is FUN to watch them have FUN!!!
Someone I admire is my grandmother. I never knew her (she died long before I was born), but she sounds awesome from what people tell me. I hear stories of how she helped people (not just my family) migrate to the US from the Philippines and about how she was a godly person who used to wake up every morning and pray first thing. My mom would tell me how her mom would always tell her to work hard so she wouldn’t have a hard life in the Philippines and to always trust God and do her best for God’s glory. My mom worked hard and moved to the US and became a clinical director at her workplace. Today, my mom gives me the same advice that her mom gave her so many years ago. “Anak (my child), work hard, help people, trust God, and do your best for God’s glory and God will do the rest.” Even though I never personally knew my grandmother, I know that one day I will finally meet her in Heaven and thank her for being a positive influence and role model she’s been for the people around her, especially for my mom.
P.S. - I saw a mini clip of this video on Instagram but seeing the whole thing, reading the description, and writing about my grandma made me cry. You guys are awesome! I heard about you guys about 6 years ago from my piano teacher (who’s also a huge fan). I’ve loved your guys’ music ever since. Keep doing what you do! You inspire people every day :)
Is it just me or can anyone else hear Al's amazing vocals in the background? He is so talented and the group wouldn't be the same without him. Same goes to you Paul for your amazing recording skills that have made some of the best shots of Jon and Steve. Thanks to all 4 of you! This world is a much brighter place because of you! Virtual hugs from Southern Utah! ❤
Piano Guys is one of those channels you come back every now and then, but every time you come back, you can't help but smile. Brilliant!
An elementary school music teacher introduced me to The Piano Guys when I was assigned to assist an autistic child in one of the classes. I also substitute teach, and it's great to know I can go to The Piano Guys videos when students do independent math work (because listening to classical music improves math performance). It's also great for independent free choice reading time (because the fanciful imagery inspires students to use their imaginations, a crucial part of reading skills). Best of all, it's kid friendly and safe for all ages. Thank you for making the world a better place.
The Natural History Museum has awesome architecture, it's a perfect spot for an incredible cover of an awesome song. Spot on 100%

Which city?

@@lydbohm7198 thanks
My grandmother is my best friend, my idol, my hope for a better humanity.
She was born in 1927 and wished to be a Nun! Her mother made her marry someone she had never met. Still, she did the best she could, she raised 3 awesome children, she built a house, a home. She lost everything in 1974 and moved thousand of kilometers away to start again, now a widow. Even today, she has a smile that makes all worries disappear!
I miss her dearly ❤ because of Covid, I haven't seen her since March 😢
I really needed this today. I lost the person who taught me the most about the true meaning of music today. So this was really bittersweet for me
Hugs to you! Sorry for your loss!!
@@carmele.m.2212 thank you!
"And all those that have gone before cry out to us -- wanting to mean something to someone. To be someone to us.
Someone to You"
Thank you for using your talents and gifts to bring inspirational music and messages to the world! May we all use our unique gifts to lift, bless, and strengthen others!
Never thought that just a piano and cello could do so much together, have loved you guys since I first watched "This Is your Fight Song"
Great new video - thank you! My mom. She was an accomplished pianist and organist. She taught me to play piano and read music, she arranged for me to take classical voice lessons, and eventually I earned a BA in vocal performance. At the age of 37 Mom went back to college to earn a Music/English/Theatre degree, and succeeded. At the age of 42 she was diagnosed with breast cancer which had already entered the bones throughout her body. At the same time, she went back to college *again* to earn a teacher’s credential. We even had a few music courses together at the University! She did receive her teaching credential and even while she was teaching, she was taking chemotherapy - this was back in the seventies when cancer treatments were even more brutal than they are now. At age 47 Mom passed away, and even though I had taken leave from college studies to help care for her, Mom and her example was the inspiration for me to go back to finish my degree and perform my first solo recital, only a year after she died. So thankful for her encouragement, example and love.
Music is truly a gift of God… and this video is truly an example of how joyous that music can be!!🎶🎶🥰🤗
My 4-yr-old said, "Mommy, that looks happy."
Then, a little bit later, "... They're friends?" about Jon and Steve. ☺️
You know, I could never really explain what it is that I find in all your songs that makes them all so amazing, so joyful, so full of life and emotion, and in all the shots you show alongside that music, but I think I can today.
At 2:40 , there's this shot of the sun coming in, shining off the floor, and you guys just looking so joyful and elated to be playing, and I realized, it's even more apparent now that you guys are by yourselves, because the thing is, your not, all this time, for me it's never just been Jon and Steven playing music together, its Jon and his piano with Steve and his Cello, and I don't mean that in the literal sense, for me, it's like you guys have given your instruments a life of their own, a soul of their own, and whenever you guys are making music, its like you guys and your instruments are feeling the exact same way. For all the sounds you guys don't know how to make with your voices, your instruments guide you along, helping you to bring the music out of them and into the world with how well you know each other, and for all the expressions that they don't know how to make, you show them how to do it in your eyes and your smiles, and they bring that to the music they have inside of them.
I don't know if this is how you guys feel, but I just wanted to share with you what your playing means, what it shows to me, thank you guys, for just being someone like you, awesome in all the ways
Well stated. I think it’s the joy, and genuine enthusiasm - with their gratitude and thankfulness to God, their families, and their fans...
Beautiful, heart touching, and thought provoking 'story behind the video,' Thank you Piano Guys! It is in those times when we reflect on the trials, struggles, and hardships that our relatives/ancestors lived through and overcame, that we find the rich inheritance of love, strength, resilience, and perseverance bestowed upon us. I am thankful my grandparents shared with me many stories from their own life and also from the lives of other relatives, stories from the good times they lived through, and stories from the hard difficult times they faced. There is a truly a treasure of wisdom in all of our ancestors and I am thankful for having had the chance to learn some of my own family history from my grandparents. They were very special to me, and always will be deeply missed and loved and in recalling their lives and the life struggles they overcame, deeply admired in my heart forever. ❤️ Thank you Piano Guys for your uplifting music and also for sharing your hearts and wisdom too. Inspiring, and much needed in todays times! God bless always and always!❤️
As a nurse in Germany I live in lock down as many others, working as hard as I can like countless other people do. Sitting on my sofa at a dark grey December afternoon, I encountered your song and video - and got totally energized!! Thank you for your music!! And thank you for sharing it as an open source for those, who couldn´t encounter or be able to afford it otherwhise! I will buy one of your albums immediately!! Thanks and blessings to you all!!
My maternal grandpa masterminded his children's escape from Vietnam after the war, staying behind as a safety net in case they were caught and turned around (thankfully, that did not happen). My favourite story about him was his shrine to Ho Chi Minh: he bought a big bundle of incense, lit it all at once, and "accidentally" burned the photograph. Since he had so clearly tried to display his ardent devotion, he got off scot-free.
I LOVE this story.
Love this song, beautiful ❤️! My grandma, mom, aunt and sister have been meeting together every week doing family history for the last couple years. Covid has made it difficult that we can't meet as much or at all anymore which has been hard. One awesome discovery is that my grandmother found a tape of her mother before she died. We were able to digitalize it. It was a life sketch with a message to her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and more. What a connection it was too hear someone I never met but who loved me and had hope for me. Thank you for your talents and dedication. Music brings out so many emotions that help heal my soul.
What I like best about these videos is the sheer joy you have sharing this music with us. It is evident in every note. I wanted to share a story about my Grandfather, born here only two months after my Great Grandparents arrived in this country through Ellis island. Grandpa only went to school through the 8th grade, he had to start to work at this point. But he keep going, and his son, my father did too, finishing high school, joing the Air Force and making a better life for himself. They both inspired me to go further as well, as I too joined the Air Force, and retired after 20 years, and I am now pursuing my PhD... none of this would have been possible without their start.
This makes me think of one of my husband's ancestors. She grew up caring for a handicapped mother, and later married a divorced man (in days when people simply did not divorce) whose family had been through a lot of discord and unhappiness. This woman poured love down the line and healed that family ever after; family members were cherished, new generations welcomed. This feeling has been passed down from parent to child, mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, and wow, I feel so incredibly lucky to have been given this gift. It makes me want to consciously pass it down to others when the next generation comes around.
Letra ♡ :
I don't wanna die or fade away
I just wanna be someone
I just wanna be someone
Dive and disappear without a trace
I just wanna be someone
Well, doesn't everyone?
And if you feel the great dividing
I wanna be the one you're guiding
'Cause I believe that you could lead the way
I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I never had nobody and no road home
I wanna be somebody to someone
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you (someone to you)
I don't even need to change the world (change, change the world)
I'll make the moon shine just for your view
I'll make the starlight circle the room (circle the room)
And if you feel like night is falling
I wanna be the one you're calling
'Cause I believe that you could lead the way
I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh (somebody)
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I never had nobody and no road home (I don't have)
I wanna be somebody to someone (somebody)
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
The kingdom come, the rise, the fall
The setting sun above it all
I just wanna be somebody to you
I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I never had nobody and no road home
I wanna be somebody to someone
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you

Wait...Josh Brahm watches The Piano Guys? : ) This is like the time I saw a comment from Matt Fradd on a Ben Shapiro video. It's like Inception: RUclips style haha!
The music of PianoGuys really makes me feel enthusiastic because they seem to play with real joy. Happiness flows not only from your faces but also your melodies! There are many other groups playing instruments, but you are the only group that make me smile, feeling happiness transferring through the music. I’ve been a big fan of yours since 10 years ago. Great thanks to your endless love towards music!
My kids will love seeing the natural history museum in the video. We've spent many fun hours there as a family.
Your music always brings happiness. And what a blessing for your children to have those stories of their ancestors. I admired my grandparents. I know my grandparents have endured some hardships in life. I hope I have inherited their resilience. My grandma passed away on Easter, and my grandpa a few years before her. My grandma wrote her autobiography for her grandchildren. She didn't have the love from her mother she would have wanted, but it made her determined to be a mom that showed her children (grandchildren & great-grandchildren) how much she loved them.
I can not thank you four Piano Guys enough for being my all-time favorite music group! I am 16 years old, I am a proud member of my high school's marching band, and have been playing piano for close to 11 years now, so I always enjoy actively listening and playing along with every single song you guys have created so well in the past 10 years. It has helped me during this stressful time to listen to each and every new and old song you guys have created, and I have recently been playing lots of songs from some Piano Guys music books along with the incredible music videos! I just wanted to put out my gratitude to Jon Schmidt and Steven Sharp Nelson, since you both always have smiles on your faces that has influenced my overall mood and emotion as I playing piano at home! Everyone involved with the Piano Guys in any way are so great at helping support the original four Piano guys, and I am just so lucky to be able to listen to so many of my favorite Piano Guys tunes every single day! I am overjoyed! THANKS PIANO GUYS!!!!
Beautiful! Someone I look up to in my family history is my great-grandpa Otto. He was born in Estonia and stowed away on a ship to come to America as a young man. Somehow he ended up in Chicago, where he met my great-grandma, who was Swedish. He fell upon hard times, I think before he met my great-grandma, and ended up at the Pacific Garden Mission, which is still in Chicago to this day, and that's where he got saved. Later in life, the mission wanted to do a series about him on their radio program Unshackled, but he declined. It's just a really cool story to me. 😊
I love this song, thank you, it surprises me that despite everything that is happening in the United States due to the covid, you make music, thank you very much
I hope that one day you will read this greetings from Argentina
The show MUST go on! 😄
@@thepianoguys thank You for that
Love this and love the beautiful cello!! One of my ancestors is Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the only doctors who stayed behind to help during the Yellow Fever Epidemic in Philadelphia. His determination has driven me these last few months as I work in health care and seek to follow his example of caring for others during a healthcare crisis.
Thanks for such a joyful song, and the invitation to learn more about our family history. I've recently been learning about my great great great grandmother Marie Madeleine Justet, who was born at the base of the alps in Italy. Her family endured all sorts of trials due to their faith in God, and she left her hometown to settle in a tiny town in Southern Utah. Her legacy of faith strengthens mine. She is something to me!
WOW! I'd never expected you guys to use an FPV drone, that was was incredible!!!
Soooo much talent.
As I watched this, I thought, "I hope whatever my son [and all my children] chooses to do, I hope he will do it with the love and passion with which these guys play their music." Thank you for sharing your passion! That same son used to study to your music in high school... and probably still does in college!
One of my sons introduced me to your wonderful music about 3 years ago, been a fan ever since. Thank you for all your dedication & fun times. I have almost all your music now...
"Something just like this" is what takes me "home". Of course I have "a million dreams" of what I would like to be, based on what my family is and what they have experienced, but God comes (through the "peponi" that the Piano Guys have given me), that you am "perfect" "just the way you are". And "I can't help falling in love" in everything my family has helped me see, with the gifts and talents that I have and that I am able to share. The "story of my life" has been lived through the ancestors who have lived before me. I see that and have been reminded of that through this video. So, I say thank you!!!!!
Some say without music life would Bb, but I say, without PIANO GUYS, my life would Bb!
Nothing stops you (not even a pandemic) from being your best selves! And that is always!!! Love you guys! I think this is the best video yet! Keep them coming, please!
I loved this song. It's very bright and upbeat. Definitely sounding like resilience! My history is made up of many preachers, farmers, and sea captains. However, the person I admire most is my father's mother, my grandmother Mabel Flint McKay. She raised 2 boys by herself after her divorce from her husband and traveled the country in the 1930's with them to show them the country. She became a Kindergarten teacher in Florida where she raised the 2 boys. She taught me strength and how to be resilient against all odds. One of her favorite sayings to me was "to let it be like water on a duck's back"-- just let it go. I love her and miss her greatly. Thank you for the music that uplifts the soul!
Five years ago, I had a saddle PE, which means massive clots in both lungs. Rt lung fully clotted and left %50 clotted. Most people don't survive this type of blood clot. I should have died, but did not. When I was released from the hospital a week later, I played your music 24/7 . It took me to a place where I could relax and forget about what I had just experienced . My soul was at peace and this helped me to recover well from the PE. Your music helps to remind me that life is precious. I love your music, it calms my soul. Thank you.
HEY YOU, MAY ALLAH KEEP SMILING UPON YOU!!!
Your music brings me so much joy and lightens my heart ❤ ♥ Love this! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us all these years!
YES! JOY!!! Thank you Michelle! ❤️❤️❤️
The combination of these two instruments are amazing
My grandfather is really someone who I think overcame every issue he faced, and provided for his children who are all now successful. He went from sleeping on benches, looking for night jobs while working a day job, to giving back to his community at his older age, through charitable work and donations back to India or to temples. Truly someone I look up to.
Thanks for yet again spreading the joy. We have a signed copy of the new album as of yesterday, and have played it already. We are long time patrons, and have been honored to support and cheer you on over the years. God bless you all - and thank you!
I love their music so much, but I have a request. Can Jon do a skydive with his piano?
Whoever wants him to do that please like.
I DO! -# 😆😎🎻
maybe look like Linus? LOL LOL
YES PLEASE!!!! 😂😂😂
Ok well, Steve has already done a skydive strapped to his cello so...
you know...
I would love to see Jon skydive with a piano!
Yes, a skydive playing the piano on the way down. exhilarating.
I can listen to your songs on loop the whole day!
Absolutely beautiful, as always. Your songs will never seize to amaze me.
And just what I needed.
Thank you for Fan-girling, Fangirl. ☺️
@@thepianoguys of course!! 😊
Big love for you Guys and for this music ....from Tunisia 🇹🇳 🇹🇳 🥰🥰
Music has the power of love,healing and faith. Keep it up!!!
I did a liturgical dance to “You Say” while my sister sang. My church is so special to me and this song reminds of my faith and my bond between my sister and I. Thank you for covering this song and all the others, they get me through the hard times and the good times.❤️
When my daughter first heard your music a few years ago, she immediately felt uplifted and overjoyed. She now aspires to be a music teacher, and she continuously looks forward to hearing your new songs and vidoes; we all love your new video. We are sure that even the dinosaurs would have appreciated your music as much as we do.
🎶😀
Anytime I’m having a bad day with my depression, I listen to TPG and it helps bring me out of my dark place. Thank you for being you ❤️
Mom passed away 11/11/2020. Your music moves me emotionally in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your gifts of music.
Thank you so much for performing such uplifting music! I'm thankful for all my family and the people who came before me. I love this song already!
OOOH, I love it! This'll be one of THOSE tunes that I'll have to watch my speed in the car! ;) lol And of course will get frequent "repeats." Aside from that, I just now read the story. I would have to say my "ancestral hero" is my Dad. He was 46 when he passed away and I was 28. Now I'm 54 and find it so strange to be almost a decade older than when he left us. But he was a man of quiet, solid faith, with a passion for football and gardening. He was gone too soon but I know I will see him again. Steven, your writing inspires! Thanks for sharing that story with us.

Someone in my history whom I admire... Well, I definitely admire my great-grandfather, a man who after 40 years of preaching said that there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't learn something new from the Bible. Of course, there are others like a great uncle (not sure how many greats) for who the song "Captain Estill's Grand March" was written, or the much more famous people in my ancestry, like my 27th great grandfather, William the Conqueror. :)
Who else really likes the glassy strumming in the back?! Really makes the percussion pop at moments like 0:46. I’ll be wondering how that sound was created for quite some time 💜
I love your attention to detail, Rayden. You are a consummate musician. So honored you listen to our music.
I love your talent and your love of music that i feel
Really
The way the smile when they play the instrument clearly show how happy they are by doing this and it is Amazing and warm like seeing someone doing something they like is uncommon during this time cuz most people are sad just seeing the reaction makes me feel warm
I cannot describe the smile this song brought to my face. It's been a rough couple months, and the Piano Guys have given me joy through it all! I have played the piano for years and just started cello lessons! My cello teacher and I have had the joy of starting to learn some of the piano guys cello/piano duets together. You guys are amazing and so talented! Thank you for putting out such good, inspiring music. I actually got to go to this museum when I was little, the video took me back. The filming was amazing, and the music was beautiful. Thank you guys!
A HUGE thank you to The Piano Guys for the inspiration they have given to us in the past 10 years. My students have been studying TPG for the past month, we LOVED the Jungle Book video among many others and we are so thankful and inspired by your music and all the crazy places you put pianos. We want to know how many cellos Steven owns and if you would ever do a video by Niagra Falls, Canada. With so much love and admiration, All the way from Oromocto, New Brunswick, Canada.
Dang. I've been listening to this channel for most of my life, my family would put it on when I was younger. It's cool to see how far it's come! Love the new song.
Also, it's so great to see people who are in the performing business still holding strong in our faith. It's inspiring to see fellow LDS performing.
I admire my grandmother. Although she passed last year, her pride and warmth never ceased to communicate a high respect across a multigenerational, linguistic, and geographical divide.
You all always brighten my day, I appreciate that.
That’s crazy, I just started listening to BANNERS the other day and now y’all make a beautiful song of theirs!! Love it!
The energy in this is truly infectious
The setting for this video is amazing. I truly find joy in watching you two play.
Me too! 😊
My teenage son actually introduced me to you. He is in his 20's now. We both still love your music. Thanking you for sharing your talent with the world!
I love your music. That was a beautiful piece. I recieved my album 10 and the book today. Thank you for putting my granddaughter Tiawnna on the front and the Special thank you in the book. We lost her on December 27, 2018 in a car accident. She was 22 years old. I know that Jon understands that kind of pain in 2016, when him and his family lost their beautiful Annie. My prayers and heart are always with you.
This sent shivers down my spine, I was a little sad but after hearing this my mood has completely changed. Thank you so much ThePianoGuys for bringing joy to my heart!
My mom promised we'd see you in concert after this Covid mess was done because she also played piano and loved your music. She passed from cancer two months into the pandemic so I'll have to wait and take my own daughter. ❤️

Absolutely beautiful! It actually brought tears to my eyes for a couple of reasons, especially after reading Steven's story.
I currently work in a museum that just had to close it's doors again to the public. I'm sitting at my desk in an empty Museum full of history. History I thought I would never had thought I was tied to because I didn't grow up here. But found out recently my great grandfather knew and worked with one of the men who helped build this town. My great grandfather was a pilot, one of the first to fly postal runs actually. But he lived in California, not Oregon. But he flew the planes this man from my area created. (There's a lot more to the story and it's the FIRST time I've ever been interested in doing family history)
Thanks for the music, the inspiration and your love you express through your creations. Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to more from The Piano Guys in the future! 😍
Listening to this song was my first act of today. What beauty I've woken up to. ❤️
I love seeing the look of joy on their faces.
When I was in high school, my grandpa got sick and had to move into a nursing home full-time. My grandma (who has always been super involved with everything from church to Girl Scouts to aquacise classes) but her whole life on hold so she could spend every waking moment by his side (during visiting hours anyway). As Grandpa's Alzheimers got worse, he couldn't remember Grandma's name, but he still recognized her and lit up the moment she walked in.
Me: about to attend my online class
Piano guys uploads a video.
Me: Nah.... Class can wait... I gotta watch this first😍😍
Awesome work as always Piano guys!!!!
Love from India!!
To Whom it May Concern,
Please excuse Renita from her online class. She was deeply engaged in a life-enriching pursuit of musical research.
Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
Steven # Nelson
I'm splitting the difference with a History lecture accompanied by The Piano Guys in the background XD
My mother is a hero for me. Come what may, she’ll always be there to guide me.
Also, am I the only person who listens to the Piano Guys’ version of the song, loves it a lot, and then looks up on the internet for the original song😅
I do that a LOT! Hahahha
I am not smart enough to know the right words to say how much your music has done for me. All I can say is THANK YOU from a very grateful soul for your talent.
Thank you so much for your music..I am an ER nurse and with all of the COVID and new daily challenges ..your music is uplifting and I find myself humming your tunes..Again, many thanks for everything you do.
I played with you guys at the Fox in St louis back in 2016 and to this day that remains the most incredible thing I have ever experienced. Thank you guys so much!
STL!
WOW! My initial reaction was, well, this is good. I don't recognize the original song at all. Then I went and listed to Banners. THANK YOU so much for pointing out an artist and hymn that I had somehow completely missed! On second, and third, etc. listens, this cover audibly and visually connects the visceral reaction I had to Banners' intense ballad to my ancestors. Rev. Johannes Theodore Polhemus was a refugee, abducted by pirates twice, and eventually settled in success on Long Island before it became New York. (10th Great-Grandfather ;)
This has to be my favorite video! I absolutely love how much you used the drone footage! You said to comment on someone I admire in my family history. Well, seeing how we are all technically related, I’m going to pick someone from the Bible. I really admire Job. It always amazes me how EVERYTHING bad that could possibly happen happened to him. And yet, he still had the courage to stand up for his faith, and to refuse to curse God! Thank you guys for all you do!
My wife and I have been married for almost 7 years. We quizzed each other just before we got engaged, then about dream dates. I chose seeing Wicked, she chose the Piano Guys. We did our first concert in Dec. 2013, and have hardly missed a year since then. We have all of your albums. Love to listen and watch you!
I went back and read the description...I think not enough could be said about our greatest generation. Both my husband and I have lost grandparents in the past 5+ years and they knew how to value life they knew dedication and sacrifice for something worth saving and preserving, Yet they wouldn't call it those things they would just call it life and that's what you're supposed to do. We truly do have heroes from the greatest generation! It's sad to say and ironic, that with the passing of my grandpa and my husband's grandpa they brought so much music and happiness to life, they knew how to gather a family together and with them gone now, sadly that has also died away with them. So thank you for bringing that back, my family truly enjoys your music and has lifted spirits and has gotten all of us through these trying times, and you probably are the inspiration to have my dad (in his early70's) take piano lessons for first time!!! Thank you!!!
I loved watching this, particularly with the drone footage at the filming locations. Steven # - thank you for sharing your story about family history. I have long loved learning about my ancestors and owe who I am to them.
I don't wanna die or fade away
I just wanna be someone
I just wanna be someone
Dive and disappear without a trace
I just wanna be someone
Well, doesn't everyone?
And if you feel the great dividing
I wanna be the one you're guiding
'Cause I believe that you could lead the way
I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I never had nobody and no road home
I wanna be somebody to someone
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you (someone to you)
I don't even need to change the world (change, change the world)
I'll make the moon shine just for your view
I'll make the starlight circle the room (circle the room)
And if you feel like night is falling
I wanna be the one you're calling
'Cause I believe that you could lead the way
I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh (somebody)
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I never had nobody and no road home (I don't have)
I wanna be somebody to someone (somebody)
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
The kingdom come, the rise, the fall
The setting sun above it all
I just wanna be somebody to you
I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh
I never had nobody and no road home
I wanna be somebody to someone
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Someone to you
Every song every time gets me in all the feels! I have listening, following, watching and enjoying your beautiful heartfelt music from the beginning and after reading the story behind this one made me think of my own ancestors that traveled by handcart across the plains and their determination to reach a better life. Thank you guys again for making me cry! Your music is the best!❤️
My son introduced me to your music when he chose Arwen's Vigil to walk down the aisle to when he got married. Love your music and appreciate your incredible talent. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
My grandma raised five kids by herself because my grandpa died from an illness. It was hard for her but she never gave up. She passed away last year. This cover is amazing and the meaning behind it is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
