      Music doesn't have to describe your emotion. If I play sad pieces its genuinely just because they are beautiful. And being a performer like the guy in the video also helps. If an introvert is having fun at a piano you would have to look close to see that. Just because the music brings out an emotion out of you doesn't mean it's the same emotion for everyone.

    I'm 47 and just beginning.... (have 2 adult children so no need to impress a crush) but your laughter, enthusiasm and talent inspire me to just play for fun no matter what! Thanks for your videos!

    I love how thrilled and proud he is of his own mashup. 🤣 That's what self love is!
    I love his vibes.

    I still can't get over the dexterity and accuracy you have in your left hand.. My piano teacher left something out somewhere along the way when I was a kid.

    Love your sense of humor! With all that talent and a certain amount of humility(?😊) your fan base will definitely increase. 😀👍🥰🎶
    Thank you for sharing this delightful video!🙏❤️

    Adding a story to your performance was a great idea. How creative! Love it 😍

    Imagine being this talented in one thing, but being so far off from attracting your crush. Kind of puts things in perspective. What a world we are living in. Good luck with your crush.

    I don't think it would work if your crush in the party is Tiffany Poon, Lionel.

      Is she actually his crush? I haven't been following his channel long enough yet.

    • @Nickayz2
      @Nickayz2 2 года назад

      But he would still gain her attention. I mean - how many people in the party can play at his level?

      @vicentepulidodrevespiano2494 2 года назад +1

      @@Nickayz2 we don't know. It's just a joke: what happened is that in a community post of him, he posted a picture with her and he also said that he really likes the way she plays, and that he has been following her for a long time (following online, but he said that later, so we joked about it)

  • @johnmccabe1134

    The fact he can play that while playing out a whole story line in his head and commentating on what he’s doing absolutely diddles my mind

    I ADORE your personality and energy!! You’re a mess!😂😂
    And it’s true, it’s true-I always started out with Moonlight Sonata, too…
    I WILL say, though, that I’m not quite sure whether I’m overwhelmingly inspired…or walking away from this video never to touch a piano EVER AGAIN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE…

    Your narrating made it very easy to fantasize this scenario happening and it was a wonderful time, I was the coolest guy at the party, thanks! :)
