If only people would see the truest beauty of this world, instead of the many untalented and quite frankly disgusting individuals that unfortunately, currently control the vast majority of the music industry. If people would see the beauty in the music performed by talented individuals such as taylor, I could finally say that I am proud to be human, but until then, I have none such words. Thank you taylor davis for this masterful performance.
At least the people that don't sing well in most people's opinions try... With every failure you learn from there is a step towards success. Maybe when our kids are growing up, they'll have the best music ever to listen to.
I remember this one time in school, when we had a talent show. I had a band, and we REALLY wanted to show everyone we has talent. We grabbed people from chorus, band, and orchestra, and we played Requiem for a dream. It was the hardest song anyone had ever tried to accomplish, so we got 1st place, and 5,000,000 for the school. That songs wasn't the easiest for the chorus people, you couldn't be an alto, or singing it would crack your voice. But we did it! :D
I've said it before, i'll say it again ........ this is the best video on youtube, hands down. The best violinist playing the best song all by herfreakingself.
This is supposed to be on my "listen to while I draw" playlist. But I can't help but watch it when it comes on because seeing all of the violins coming in one at a time to conduct this beautiful haunting melody is simply spellbinding.
It is by far one of the best movies that you'll never ever ever want to see twice. Decades after watching it, you'll still get a gut wrenching feeling at the mere mention of the movie. It's a must see.
I think you can't go any further to improve a violin interpretation of this song like the one you just did. Nothing else to add. You just reached perfection. * Fan mode : ON * :)
Some how i knew you would say that, look her up, she's one of the best Violinist ever, my favorite one is when she played the skyrim theme on her violin. Another one of my favorite videos with her is Roundtable Rival.
That video never gets old. I listened thid video 5 years ago first and I was amazed. After 5 years I still want to press replay button 473747 times when video ends. That is just perfect.
Não sei inglês porém irei me expressa na minha lingua mãe. Adorei as músicas e pena que aqui no Brasil poucas são as pessoas que admiram e dão valor . continue com esse amor a música. Parabéns.
I started to play violin because of you. I can barely move or think while listening to your music. It's like taking you to another universe and the only thing you can do to listen this sound of awesomeness. Just amazing...
106 dislike? haters hate because they ain't it! really what is there to DIS-like! if you don't like violins then don't look for one but honestly her execution does not take "dislike" i am sure if it is NOT perfect to you, you don't have to like but dislike is unfair!
Robert Rodvichen She did this masterfully, but to say dislike is unfair? What kind of youtube likes police are you? People will hit dislike for fun sometimes, there knobs, but the point is anyone can and will hit dislike if it is not to there preference
I disliked because I didn't like it....thats why. I think she is good in doing what shes doing but I don't really here the power and the emotion out of this one and that's just why I didn't like listening to her...
lol is this Villanious Lombardo guy for real? Since when was playing someone else's song a sin? I think the original creator would be astounded by the effort going in to express the song in a live fashion like it used to. It's called a gift and it's to keep a song living to never be forgotten.
To find talent... you have to dig deep... very very deep. The journey is tough and long for both the artist and the public that gets to hear his/her work. But as with all difficult and long roads, the destination is always worth it.
thank you very much Taylor for making us happy. you are a real gem to this world and i hope we never lose you (and we never will, your work will live forever). thank you very much.
Just because Taylor uploaded a video to celebrate her ten years on youtube I post this to acknowledge that this is the first video of hers I saw and I istantly became a subscriber.
Mauricio C This is not Dubpest, arpeggios technique are found very in baroque music, like compositions of the Vivaldi. (I not know speaking english, ignore my misspellings).
This song is so fascinating and the movie was so disturbing. I love how it builds, but no matter how chaotic it seems there's a soothing mellow tone in the backround. Beautiful!
Being stunningly gorgeous must be a prerequisite to playing stringed instruments, the guitar being the obvious exception. It seems that the talent of violinists and their physical beauty are directly proportional.
Sweet merciful jeebus... Did you just do ALL of "Lux Aeterna" on one violin? And add some embellishment and genuine musician magic and make "Lux Aeterna" sound even better?
woman, I dont know what it is with you. But you just trip my senses out all the time I come back to this. I wish I had the talent. You really should play with a philharmonic orchestra. Your talent is so widespread. i had a teacher tell me once, music is like an organism, filled wih many cells and so much responsibility towards its own existance. And thats what you are: A world of responsibility towards your own. love your talent!!!
You are an awesome violinist. I know someone who built his own violin and can play very well. My brother, I just wish he had your motivation. Keep up what you are doing. Keep it coming!
What????? @2:08 and beyond??? Sick!!!! Geez this was awesome. This is my favorite song, and I love how people can take this and add their own spin to it.
RUclips pushes on songs nowadays, but I'm glad it did here. Thank you for allowing me to hear this, so many emotions for me... This is beautiful, thanks for sharing Taylor
Siempre en cada una y todas de sus canciones, :DD transmiten mucha emoción, al principio pensé que era el instrumento pero también es el que lo maneja :3
Si haz visto la película, de alguna manera todos esos sentimientos de angustia vuelven a tu mente, personalmente me hace pensar mucho en mi mama, al final ella solo quiere verme feliz...
+Umut Kartal If she wanted to show people her beautity, she would be a model. Looks like she wants to show people her talent. Go and write something like this on Victoria's Secret's videos.
+Zehra Akbulut 1. He didn't say anything negative or degrading of her talent. 2. He was pointing something out about her in a complimentary way. Chill out.
+Alric it was an insult directed towards her for being a woman and playing classical music instead of showing off her body as a model since she has the looks for it, stating that women (including her) shouldn't be playing classical music 'unless' they are extreamly talented and useless in any other work. if you dont understand the reason for why ppl comment, you shouldn't try defend others based on personal opinions. sry for my bad english.
If she played this by ear with all those parts she would be on par with mozart and beethoven xD Some people dont understand how hard music actually is, especially playing to this quality and by ear! xD
Kairu99877 Honestly, these parts aren't that hard to play by ear, but that's just me. Also, is you play music for such a long time, you'll be able to 'seperate' different parts when listening to music and that way it all becomes a lot easier to play by ear as well.
Christopher Bol I've listened to classical since I was very young. I completely agree with your statement. If music is you're life then you can have it as a second nature.
AWESOME!!! Can't wait for your first international tour...starting from Brazil, Sao Paulo...2015!!! and at last 3hrs of show!!!! amazing! keep walking...Thank you!!!

You understand what music really is
Thank you.
She was awesome! I loved it! I may be getting a Violin for Christmas :) I hope to be able to play this one day!
With practice, you will ;)
THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE
That's why I'm so addicted to her videos. Lolz.
HowardAndPoohBear
Very true.
Here is really full and goooood quality Requieeem for a Dream => twitter.com/ab608b0e1e6e986a8/status/822768917907025921

OMG your playd the Movie Requiem for a dream with a band cool cool
Dont u have any video? I really want to see.
20 different schools were there. From other states. It was a small donation from a bank, tho. Not the school.
Hey! I found you again!
This story is pure fantasy !
Your extra bit of violin greatness at the 2:09 mark made the entire song so much better.
When slowed to .75 you get to hear the violin cry and the romantic, haunting chill captures you. YAS!
never disappointed when looking for good music.
Still amazing after all these years! I used to watch this back in middle school. ❤️
anyone else just get chills?
I've said it before, i'll say it again ........ this is the best video on youtube, hands down. The best violinist playing the best song all by herfreakingself.
This is supposed to be on my "listen to while I draw" playlist. But I can't help but watch it when it comes on because seeing all of the violins coming in one at a time to conduct this beautiful haunting melody is simply spellbinding.
I cannot tell you how many times I have turned to your version of this song when I need to feel music. Thank you, I absolutely love this
YES ME TOO!!
I mean...she gave me gooseflesh.
Purple in the morning...
Orange in the evening...
Blue in the afternoon...
I'm going to be FINE, Harry.
I'm going to be on television...
We got a winner.
...and green at night.
@@blacksmithorange8906 Is some sort of cit?
oh my god...this is the best rendition of this song i've ever heard...
The runs that she brings in at 2:08 are just utterly amazing. Not to mention flawless
You got to love that smile in the end. That is pure satisfaction with her music.
Video: *Ends*
Me: NO. YOU WON'T END. *Clicks replay*
I repeated this like 15 times XD
*I high five thee*i did the same thing and go FAIRY TAIL!!
Sophia Aulbach YE
Right click, and press loop.
Your welcome.
Taylor.....................................Thank you.....................god I love you for this
i never saw this movie but i love this music
Very good movie. In the main role rocker)
It is by far one of the best movies that you'll never ever ever want to see twice. Decades after watching it, you'll still get a gut wrenching feeling at the mere mention of the movie. It's a must see.
Seaprimate Jenkins brilliant way to put it. If theres one movie im glad i saw, its Requiem For A Dream, despite the fact that i cant watch it again
Do not watch it unless you’re okay with seeing the harsh realities of addiction.
I watched it once and as a result I’m never doing drugs.
she has all my favorite songs my heart has melted
Love the mosaic scheme!
I think you can't go any further to improve a violin interpretation of this song like the one you just did.
Nothing else to add. You just reached perfection. * Fan mode : ON * :)
You are the best violin player I've ever heard in my life
Not even Lindsey Stirling?
+Zachary JBo I like her too
Some how i knew you would say that, look her up, she's one of the best Violinist ever, my favorite one is when she played the skyrim theme on her violin. Another one of my favorite videos with her is Roundtable Rival.
Jascha Heifetz......
Destiny Flowerss really
That smile at the end :* You're so gifted, I'm speechless.
That video never gets old. I listened thid video 5 years ago first and I was amazed. After 5 years I still want to press replay button 473747 times when video ends. That is just perfect.
We ARE ALL supposed to inspire each other like this! I get lost too! JUST AMAZING!!! MY HEART POUNDS!!!
brings chills every time. especialy when it reminds me of the movie scenes ❤ beautiful
Não sei inglês porém irei me expressa na minha lingua mãe. Adorei as músicas e pena que aqui no Brasil poucas são as pessoas que admiram e dão valor . continue com esse amor a música. Parabéns.
"If darkness were soul and love, we'd all embrace it." - Myself.
I got shivers just from the opening chords
this made me tear up cause of how beautiful it sounded
ViolinTay was amazing. Still is.
my favorite... wish i can hear it live
Unless you can clone her that will never happen
You can't.
haunting as it should be. hun you do an amazing job with your music.
Almost 9 years from the release of this song and it is still.... a masterpiece.
I started to play violin because of you. I can barely move or think while listening to your music. It's like taking you to another universe and the only thing you can do to listen this sound of awesomeness. Just amazing...

Beautiful! Loved the smile in the end. =D
She plays from the heart and it shows, in her eyes, smile, and the music that she plays. Very beautiful indeed.
To find talent... you have to dig deep... very very deep. The journey is tough and long for both the artist and the public that gets to hear his/her work. But as with all difficult and long roads, the destination is always worth it.
thank you very much Taylor for making us happy. you are a real gem to this world and i hope we never lose you (and we never will, your work will live forever). thank you very much.
This is masterful.. feels like the "background" violin sounds are desperate helpless people screaming xD Love it
I wish she would do this live. First though, she would have to coordinate with her 10 identical sisters but it can be done and would be super awesome.
could you imagine if she had just 1 identical sister just as talented as her playing along side her
I thought and thought and thought about watching this clip, then I did, WOW!!!! awesome. best violin version I have ever seen cover this track.
I have never heard A Requiem for a Dream in Violin, only in piano and you was and will be so amazing forever if you continue like this.
Great version to tell a profound story with, way more intriguing.
Epicness has a new name. And the name is Taylor Davis :D
two words, lindsey stirling
We are Venom.
Holy Crap, this is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life.
SO FUCKING AWESOME! :D
lol too!:D

She NEVER disappoints. 10/10
1-Set the video speed on x1.25
2-go to 2:09
3-Enjoy :)
that's so cool!
fucking awesome :)
Arpeggios ❤
That sounds awful. This is what is, it is not dubstep.
Mauricio C This is not Dubpest, arpeggios technique are found very in baroque music, like compositions of the Vivaldi.
(I not know speaking english, ignore my misspellings).
*Claps* This is the best one yet :)
Hats off,ma'am-totally speechless
I love how she smiles at the end of every song
Taylor Davis is the second-best violinist on RUclips.
Who is the best then according to you?
Tamara Maris
Jason Yang.
Tamara Maris Lindsey Stirling. She's got the fans to prove it, too.
LanceVader being more popular doesnt equal being better.
The best of the best..you rock taylor 🙌
Me: Hey Taylor do you know ?
Taylor:No
Me: You're Amazing -_-
Taylor : thanks
Me : marry me !
Taylor : ...
Me : :'( :'(
BRILLIANT!
This song is so fascinating and the movie was so disturbing. I love how it builds, but no matter how chaotic it seems there's a soothing mellow tone in the backround. Beautiful!
Being stunningly gorgeous must be a prerequisite to playing stringed instruments, the guitar being the obvious exception. It seems that the talent of violinists and their physical beauty are directly proportional.
Those are a lot of stunt doubles :-)
0_0. You are amazingly talented, ma'am.
Sweet merciful jeebus...
Did you just do ALL of "Lux Aeterna" on one violin?
And add some embellishment and genuine musician magic
and make "Lux Aeterna" sound even better?
I probably watched this a hundred times! I can't seem to get tired of listening to it. Your music is dear to my heart. Thank you!!!
woman, I dont know what it is with you. But you just trip my senses out all the time I come back to this. I wish I had the talent. You really should play with a philharmonic orchestra.

You should do a sherlock medley! :3
Listen with headphone to get the affect!!!
or both? quality headphones? ;-)
man...*sigh*........... I wanna learn violin, it can be used in literally any genre.
The hen what's stopping you from learning, go out and learn! :D
If you're serious, here's the best place online to learn: www.alisonsparrow.com/
Yeti Productions hehehe the hen
JT lol
You are an awesome violinist. I know someone who built his own violin and can play very well. My brother, I just wish he had your motivation. Keep up what you are doing. Keep it coming!
What????? @2:08 and beyond??? Sick!!!! Geez this was awesome. This is my favorite song, and I love how people can take this and add their own spin to it.
suddenly i love violon.
Love this Song 😏
de los mejores vídeos que he visto en mi pu.ta vida... fantástico... increíble... perfecto...
Thank you, this made me cry tears of happiness. It's beyond beautiful, hope to see you once in the Netherlands.
this song messes with your head if youve seen requiem for a dream. that final sequence is brutal. excellent cover
Gods Instrument....Not The Violin But HER!!!
Hear 10s, click on blue thumb. You play this song very well
We got a winner.
Beautiful.
That smile at the end made me cry. Thanks.
RUclips pushes on songs nowadays, but I'm glad it did here.
Thank you for allowing me to hear this, so many emotions for me...
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing Taylor
161 people doesn't know how Violin sounds like. 0_o
una pregunta soy el unico que la escucha y se me ponen los pelos de punta?
tal vez no
Siempre en cada una y todas de sus canciones, :DD transmiten mucha emoción, al principio pensé que era el instrumento pero también es el que lo maneja :3
***** Mucha razón :)
esta melodia de alguna manera se conecta con los sentimientos.
Si haz visto la película, de alguna manera todos esos sentimientos de angustia vuelven a tu mente, personalmente me hace pensar mucho en mi mama, al final ella solo quiere verme feliz...
superbe
The pure passion in her face and the way she plays
This one is just amazing. The ammount of time and effort into putting into this one. Just amazing. Simply amazing.
Her right arm is probably buff as hell.
You are beautiful!

Ayaktamı Duramıyom ?
Niye mi Verdin 5 milyonu ?
Can someone send me the sheet music? I can't find it
I listened to this about 10 times and finally stopped weeping around the 9th time.
i love this so much it's perfect
If she played this by ear it would be amazing
If she played this by ear with all those parts she would be on par with mozart and beethoven xD Some people dont understand how hard music actually is, especially playing to this quality and by ear! xD
She does play a lot of her music by ear. Not sure about this one.

Christopher Bol I don't play music but if you just watch her you can match up the paces of the overlapping parts.
Christopher Bol I've listened to classical since I was very young. I completely agree with your statement. If music is you're life then you can have it as a second nature.
I can't and I won't. The world is filled with people that don't know, never knew and will never know what musical talent is.
Wow, this is amazing! You're so beautiful too! You always get me up when I'm feeling down and I love to see your smile.
AWESOME!!! Can't wait for your first international tour...starting from Brazil, Sao Paulo...2015!!! and at last 3hrs of show!!!! amazing!
keep walking...Thank you!!!
Thank you for playing this song. It’s a total reminder of having nothing at all.
At the present time you do not need more talent everything is done with the studio but this is so beautiful!
I have no words for this
This Woman Is a Truly Orchestra ! ! !
Beautiful...I listen to this over and over!!!!
favorite movie, favorite soundtrack ever, and favorite cover of anything. :)
