This one is dedicated to my grandpa who passed away a few months ago. Being a professional violist, he would teach me how to play violin over the summers when I was younger. Looking back, he was a huge part of my life and I regret never expressing my appreciation for him. I can say that he was one of the most kind hearted people I know and he will be severely missed.

His parting gift to me was his viola which he had taken with him through his time with his orchestra in Amsterdam. It's the same viola you see me playing in this video. Although my grandpa has passed, I'm happy that I'm able to carry his excitement for music with me through my work. I hope to make him proud. I miss him.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your playing is truly beautiful, and the man who taught you must’ve also carried that talented. Thanks for sharing it with the world.

I also lost my grandfather on February 11th, and this was one of the songs that best spoke to me during grieving. Crazy how so much beauty can come from such pain.

Beautifully done Alan. Your grandfather's gift now lives on in you. I'm sorry for your loss, but then, you know, he's not really gone as long as he's alive in your heart.,

[AllysonsViolinStudio]

So sorry you lost your grandfather. Knowing his viola would sing beautifully in your hands for both of you surely made leaving a bit less difficult for him.

ive never had so much respect for a violist.

Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
I miss your touch some nights when I'm hollow
I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know that
If I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life

Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
I need more time, but time can't be borrowed
I'd leave it all behind if I could follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know that
If I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life, yeah
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy, oh
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life, oh, oh
I miss you more than life
So if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life

Sorry for your loss - your grandpa is undoubtedly proud of you. And thanks for playing this on his viola - I love the warm tone that really fits the song and mood.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Alan. You are an amazing violinist and I am sure he was one too. This made me tear up, you really added your emotions to the violin.

[alanashallo]

I can relate because I also lost my grandfather a few years ago. He would let my play piano every time he sits in the living room and he was a very hardworking person. I will never forget him..

[venomxo]

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 your music is so beautiful and peaceful, your grampa would've been so proud of you . GOD REST HIS SOUL . 🕊️🙏

[ItsALine]

Your playing is very very very emotional, that keeps me always coming back. ❤

[imalittletopstressedout]

I am sorry for your loss. I too know the feeling of having someone gone who was a big part of my life.

Keep on doing what you love. Jesus is always with you, and know that you can find comfort in Him.

[Amina_benazzouz]

I feel so relieved when I hear your playing, I feel like the world is embracing me

[orlanachan]

🥰получаю безумное наслаждение от каждой мелодии сыгранной Вами🥰

[cherry_emi]

I’m so sorry for your loss I understand where your coming from and I lost my grandma in March right before my birthday at it hurt me a lot because she was the biggest thing that a happened to me she guided me through everything and i loved her very much and I love this thank you.

Usually, I don’t listen much to instrumental music, and the songs I enjoy tend not to be very calm, so listening to this was a bit refreshing, I must say. Very nice, and holds a traits I admire in covers, deviation from the original. A cover that sounds like the original with a different voice and slightly different instruments doesn’t really give me a reason to want to listen to it, but this does. Plus, I already absolutely love the original. And I don’t know how much effort it takes to learn to play the violin like this, so I won’t comment on that, but I feel compelled to say it was very beautiful indeed. I like how violins sound.
