so frickkin underrated, why is this guy not on TV

[Pete-tqin]

I’ve been playing the piano for almost thirty years and have played this tune for about twenty five of them.

I’ll readily admit that I can’t play it like this and I probably won’t ever be able to! This is absolutely superb, what a groove, so clear and yet so effortless and incredibly soulful. Brilliant, you have a rare talent.

I'm french, so sorry if there are any mistakes:
The beginning of the song is magic, and the song too !
Continue like this !!

I think that as a musician, you have succeeded in capturing the most important aspect of music: that it profoundly embodies and represents all of our histories, emotions, triumphs, failures, creativity, etc. This is true art. I am certain that this is why you are such a phenomenal artist. You see music for what it truly is. Thank you for acknowledging the BLM movement and thank you for sharing your art. You will do many great things. I'm officially subscribed.

This is awesome. Almost sounds like it could be a theme song for a TV show or series.
