LYRICS:

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last

The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah yeah
You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine

At Last

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 1.2 million YouTube subscribers and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

In 2014, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover 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 Marnie and Patrick to continue creating videos. (Other notable shout-outs since then include ones from Taylor Swift, a-ha and Pearl Jam.)

Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second YouTube channel, "Brooklyn Classical", which aims to introduce classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live video performances. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets, percussionist Ivan Trevino and cellist Cicely Parnas.

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.” Their music has also been featured on several television shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and America's Got Talent.

Sensational. We're getting married August 24th, 2024 and this is our song. My wife-to-be and I are both in our 70's.

[sashika]

This is the definition of happily ever after

P.S. Thank you for all the well-wishes for Patrick and his arm. 💕 We’re thankful and relieved that it’s been such a quick recovery!

Cello +piano =most beautiful combination there is.

[brianlykins]

The wait for this was well worth it. This is absolutely beautiful. I believe Miss Etta would be pleased with this performance.
Ya'll are truly gifted musicians and your gifted talent is apparent each time we blessed with a performance by you.
I hope you never tire of gracing the world with your talents. God bless.

My hubby and I danced to this song at our wedding. Etta James is an amazing singer so it was the obvious choice and she sumed up our love perfectly.

[nspfc]

As beautiful as the music and the playing is, the real charm is in the exchange of glances of love e changed between Pattick and Marni.
Thank you for music that expresses love.

[Manny]

This actually moved me to tears, beautiful!

[Efímero_lolm]

Hello, I'm a teenager and I love this type of music, I love the way they play it. With so much peace, and tranquility. I love you both keep going like this 🥺❤🎼

These instruments really complement each other on this song. The cello seems to add back in more sustained notes and some emotional qualities that come from the vocal.

[carbonslvr]

My wife and I got married 7 years ago and this was our song. You just took me back to that day and every raw emotion and every ounce of joy and I can’t be any happier than I am in this moment. Thank you.

[JC-tdgg]

Just love the sound and tone of the piano and the playing of course, just heavenly!

[tonycruz]

Our dear eldest daughter and her wonderful husband chose this beautiful interpretation for our march down the aisle this past May.
I still get emotional just hearing it, as well as Etta James' unforgettable performance which we used later at the reception.
Marnie and Patrick: You're a lovely and talented couple. May the Good Lord richly bless you and your precious children always.

[JosephCochran-ei]

Beautiful!!! These two people just keep on pumping out the very best music art ever!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[juliaappleton]

Talent technique and the magical secret sauce between you two, elevates a fav of mine. Thank you.

[jimconnolly]

I have only heard this song with vocals. In my opinion, the only thing that conveys emotion like a voice is the cello. I love your cover and Mrs James must be looking down smiling. Thank you and bless you both

[linsmauro]

Amazing, I have no words to express how I´m feeling now... I love you so much, thanks a lot for this moment

[катяжижан]

We used to have this song as entrance theme at our wedding. Gorgeous ❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍

[jessicaluque]

I love this song and have never heard anyone sing/play it more beautifully then you did. Brought tears to my eyes! Beautiful!

[msflowerchild]

I've never heard a better cover of Etta! Moved to tears. So beautiful!
