    Peter, Alex. How do you live within yourselves? How do you not bring yourselves to tears? I would not be able to cope with such beauty, if by my speech I would hear such a thing. You all are blessed. Seriously.

    @faithchristina3688 10 лет назад +10

    Seriously though.....HOW ARE YOU GUYS NOT SIGNED?! Like really!!!! How are some artists who can't sing auto tuned AND THEY HAVEN'T GRABBED YOU?! YOU TWO ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!

    • @nonyabis7692
      @nonyabis7692 10 лет назад

      maybe to do what they want they have to stay freelance

    • @faithchristina3688
      @faithchristina3688 10 лет назад +1

      Well now Peter is signed with Sony, but he's still capable of doing what he wants. It was more of a "lets get some serious talent out there"

    • @nonyabis7692
      @nonyabis7692 10 лет назад

      yep, give a spot to the real voice's

  • @Aragonsynth2294
    @Aragonsynth2294 12 лет назад +1

    Everything you do is wonderful. Its really true talent. I would like to say your cover of The Prayer is probably is my favorite, but you have to understand how hard it is to have a favorite with how awesome of your videos they are. Bless you Peter, you are amazing

  • @marcyboyy
    @marcyboyy 12 лет назад +1

    I found Peter through a facebook page after someone posted his cover of one of my favourite songs 'Seasons of love'. What a find it was. Absolutely LOVE your covers, your voice, everything! Every cover is just absolutely amazing. So glad we all have the pleasure of hearing your covers. Please never stop!

  • @Ultimonas
    @Ultimonas 12 лет назад +1

    If nobody's mentioning the perfect harmony of voices Alex and you achieved ... well, there's one little point of imperfectness in my ears: The sudden start of backing voices in the beginning of the song. Guess this mellow arrangement deserves a mellow, more piano start.

  • @lionessloveswestlif1
    @lionessloveswestlif1 11 лет назад +1

    That would be so awesome!!! both, Peter and The Piano Guys, are amazing!! If they did a cover together that would be more that amazing!!!

  • @namolbu
    @namolbu 12 лет назад +1

    I just sampled all of the other versions of this song in iTunes. This is by far the best. It's wormed it's way so far into my head I have to keep from humming it at work. People kind of look at me oddly.

    When I watched this for the first time I 1) started crying from how beautiful their rendition is and 2) couldn't help but sing along and finally 3) immediately had to watch Once again. And cry. And then buy this song and listen to it and cry more. But you know, the good kind of "my God this is so beautiful" crying.

  • @zonderwalking
    @zonderwalking 12 лет назад +1

    You defiantly have an awesome talent to be able make your music the way you do, and your voice is absolutly beautiful, as is Alex's. This song is one of my all time favorites. It brings goosebumps and a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Just absolutely breathtaking! Never stop using your talent!!

    I quit piano when I was about 5 years old and have regretted it since. Your music has inspired me to go back to learning it again! True talent still exists and this is made very obvious by artists like Peter and Alex! This is precisely why I'll always support music like this because its actually worth supporting! Thank you for all the inspiration you provide me and everyone who is lucky enough to know your work!

I heard it clearly and I was absolutely floored by its gorgeous power. I can't tell you how much I loved this. Please collaborate again!

    I was listening to your playlist, and with each song I was more and more amazed and impressed by your voice. Then I noticed this was the next song on the playlist and I actually swore out loud because I KNEW you would take this amazing song and sing it so beautifully and with such intense emotions that it'd be way to good to be fair, and I was right. I just stared at my computer and gaped and just felt with you and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had in a long time. Thank you.

    love both this and the cover this one is more beauty and rich sounding being slower and more detail to the art of conveying the message the the original is just pure raw uncut emotion with a simple narrative this one is a little more outlandish but that's overshadowed by the richness and color and epicness great work!
