Lyrics:

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

Brooklyn Duo Bio:

Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 600,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

On a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover of her song Empire and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged the couple to continue creating videos.

Since then, Marnie and Patrick have released over 80 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 7 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Taylor Swift (who also tweeted about them, saying their cover of her song “Blank Space” sounded "like a song people should walk down the aisle to"). In 2016, the couple started a second YouTube channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience. With this new channel, Marnie and Patrick aim to showcase high quality, live performances of classical music. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets and percussionist Ivan Trevino.

In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect, a collective of some of the best young musicians in the U.S., to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” One of their covers was also recently featured in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

The cello is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments ever

[glennareinhardt]

This has got to be the most beautiful renditions of the scientist I have ever heard.

[Kantarranas]

Two angels came down to earth for making us, the mortals, to have heavenly moments with this kind of music that is only possible coming from God, The Only Holy Great CREATOR. Thanks for so much. Sweet greatings from Tegucigalpa, Capital City of Honduras in the very Heart of Central América.

[TheDougo]

I can't say it enough, you two are so good together, please just keep doing what you do, your music makes a bad day good, I've never really listened to the Cello until I started listening to your music now I can't get enough, I've always loved the piano, please just keep playing your music, you do all my favorite songs

[dvoraklover]

Those high notes at 4:11 and 4:25 gave me chills; what a stunning duet start to finish. Thank you 🙏

[max-lee]

The reason why I love cello.. That wailing, crying sounds.

[alinebarcellos]

Nothing else to say. The two of you... SO UNDERRATED. What a match made in heaven. What a chemistry, what a balance, both of you shine when only one of you is shinning. Perfect.

[LukeFaulkner]

This was the first "popular" piece of music I ever played on the piano. Brings back memories. Beautiful work, as always!

[ardoario]

How beautiful and peaceful. Music is such an awesome GIFT from God. Thank you so much!

[waldorfmanns]

I discovered this while searching the web for a cello/piano song I could walk down the isle to. It’s really the most beautiful version of this song I’ve ever heard and I think I’ve heard them all. I still cry like a baby when I listen to it. Beautiful amazing beautiful.

[eliasjose]

How lovely to see these people playing such refined sound instruments. It is passionate to appreciate all the sensibility of such artists. Great artists !!!
Congratulations.
Very beautiful.

[kevinhubbard]

I'm a graduate of Berklee College of music and before I attended BERKLEE, I took 4 and a half years of classical guitar and cello lessons.. this is INDESCRIBABLY BEAUTIFUL

[pbfamous]

wow that cello really is a beautiful instrument, at first i wanted to learn piano, but now i think strings are just so much more complex and full of nuance. these fine sounds is what life is about, experiencing.

[dieudonnemulume]

there's something words can't express

[duglife]

The whole things gives me chills, but especially the "Nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part" line.

[jeffreyvillamor]

Music is powerful. It is an expression of human spirit to dwell into heavenly environment...It clears your mind and ease the feeling...Wow!

[quiltqueen]

Brought tears to my eyes! Absolutely beautiful duet😭😌👏👏👏👏

[beliadianeka]

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

[maddisackett]

You guys have hands from God, I'm crying from how beautifully you guys played this.
