On the Nature of Daylight (Cover)

I know it's been a SUPER LONG time since my last post. A lot has happened in life since the last video. A pandemic, the world shutting down, buying a house, etc, but I'm back. No better video to come back with than the most requested song I get, On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter!

Playing along with me is my dear friend Caitlin Edwards. Caitlin is an AMAZING violinist and I'm so glad she decided to do this video with me. Be sure to check her out on Instagram @ViolinistCaite

This... This is why YouTube is the ONLY form of so called "social" media that I'm prepared to tolerate...

Simply... Beautiful... And Beyond Words...

Keep Strong People! In these very turbulent times...

Peace... Always...

I usually programme games and listen to music on the side. But when I heard this, I had to stop everything I was doing. And look who the hell can transport so much emotion into a piece of music. You are not just playing something, you are the music itself in the truest sense of the word. Absolutely fantastic.

This is the most beautiful, saddest, simplest, most complex thing I have ever experienced

How is this possible?? I just discovered this music few days ago, it became my obsession, and now outta nowhere he is playing this??

I am a therapist - I am going to add this to my toolbox of music which can help with dysregulation and anxiety. Dope AF. Absolutely, consummately professional, beautiful, and flawless.

I lost my friend 11 years ago. Hearing this song floods me with such grief. My wife told me something so beautiful though.

“Grief is unexpressed love.”
In a way, I hope I don’t stop grieving.


Thank you for this beautiful cover of such an impactful piece of music.

So, Hannah... This is where your story begins. The day they departed. Despite knowing the journey... and where it leads... I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it.

"On the nature of daylight" is such an iconic piece (Shutter island, Arrival), and your rendition is meticulously accurate as much as it is heartfelt and moving. I am a big fan of classical music played in movies, and covers of them, and this is one of the best I've heard in my life. Congrats to both of you, you are both very talented.

For 6 minutes and 24 seconds I finally felt like the craziness of the past year – all the struggles and all the loss – briefly subsided and let beauty come back into my heart. Thank you so much for this gift.

I've listened to this masterpiece a hundred times but sit here in tears at this version. Blown away

That Cello Guy and this violin lady - Really well done!

[patelianos]

It's not the hands this man plays music with. It's his heart.

[HyperialAnubis]

He returns only when the time is right, no sooner, no later.

I started to cry before even starting to listen because I already knew the wrath of your musical prowess would befall us.

I just need you to know how much I truly enjoy your music. Since covid I started working from home. I have listened to you everyday. I am a telemarketer.. I Know, I know... but..I have heard some incredible stories from all over the U.S stories from folks that I will never forget. Sad, lost, broken, retiree's who hadn't seen anyone, and some inspirational from the perseverance of our strength through such hard times. You were the background music. You are tied in so many memories of 2020 for me. I told my spouse just the other day once we go back to the office, outta of our safe bubble, I'll miss you the most. I still will have my breaks lol but you sir are amazing. I can't even 😭 thank you!

This masterpiece sometimes is unbearable for your soul.
I don't think I've heard any sadder song than this

[kells]

i am a cellist myself, and every single one of the pieces you have made a cover of have been some of my all time favorites that i love to play as well. You are one one the most talented people i’ve come across in my days and are an inspiration to me and probably many others. I was so excited when i saw that you had posted another video, and when i saw what song it was i was completely in shock. thank you so much for the beautiful music and the incredibly hard work i know you’ve put into it! God bless you and please never stop playing!

[jheelan]

This song has been haunting me for years since she's gone

[antonpoddubnov]

From my point of view: this is one of the greatest pieces of modern music out there.
Ever since I first heard it in the “Shutter island” movie - I just can’t stop listening to it from time to time. It turns my soul inside-out every time and sets the storm of emotions and images in my head. Max Richter is a genius for sure: he was able to put so much “story” in a short music composition. It’s incredible.
I was so pleased to hear you playing it, thank you.

It's 1:30 in France and I discover this masterpiece...
