A Heavenly Piano Piece - Jervy Hou

[@JervyHou]

Two days ago, I stood by my grandma's hospital bed, said my final goodbyes and watched her slip away. It was the greatest pain that I've ever experienced in my life. For the past 5 hours, I've been trying to write something about my grandma. But no matter how much I try, it's never enough. Words can't full express how I feel about her, nor can it do her life story justice... so as hard as it is, I'm going to set my frustration aside and speak from the heart: If there is a higher power out there, please look after her. She spent most of her life looking after everybody but herself... and I would give anything to know that she's happy and in a better place now. During the war, she lost everything - her friends, her husband, many of her children and family; and after being relocated from Cambodia to the US as a refugee and rebuilding her life with whatever family she had left, she lost another child. No mother wants to see their children die, but my grandma... she went through the unimaginable. Yet, somehow, through all of the tragedy and suffering, she still found room in her heart to push on and to keep giving, even when she had nothing left to give. My grandma lived her life as a devout Buddhist and never lived beyond of her means; but Buddhist or not, she was by any standards an absolutely amazing person. She never hurt anybody and cared so much about people, almost to fault. Anybody who met her couldn't help but smile. She was too adorable. She's an angel, and had a warm energy about her that always brought the family together, especially during trying times. And even though she'll deny it, she truly deserves everything - because she took nothing. Grandma, please know that I love you. I know I didn't always say it out loud, and that absolutely crushes me... because I know how much you loved me. And now that you're gone, there is a huge hole in my heart. I never knew just how much of you was a part of me - and now I know. I will never take my time with you for granted, and I will always carry with me the values you lived by: Honesty. Courage. Forgiveness. Selflessness. Family. You were all of those things and I am so lucky and proud to be called your grandson. Thank you for taking care of us, and for letting us take care of you. You were so brave when you left us. I love you, Yei. We all do.

[@maberaombati5388]

Jervy Hou "after silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music" What better illustration than this beautiful piece? Thank you Thank you

[@helenm7610]

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sun on ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Mary Elizabeth Frye She must have been so proud of your amazing talent.

[@nexigen2609]

I had this song playing when I read this. I literally broke. My deepest and most sincere condoleances, Jervy. She sounded like a fantastic person. And I'm sure she's very proud of your composing talents as well.

[@debabratamukherjee2413]

Wish your Grandma's soul to rest in peace:)

[@brianwoolery6576]

Very touching story. Be assured that there is a higher power, and He feels the deep pain in your heart. His name is Jehovah (Psalm 83:18), and he promises that there will come a time soon when “death will be no more” (Revelation 21:3 4). We were all made in Gods image, and so the beautiful music that flows from your heart and hands is a testament to the feelings that God himself has in his heart. He loves you, and your grandmother, and yearns to bring her back to life in the resurrection.

[@jhbidwell]

I wrote this poem while listening to this: One Last Time Someone left the light on- And I learned that it was God. Another hike in wilderness But this time- something odd. Things the mind can’t understand- But there are ways to know That reach into the deepest places Reason cannot go. Something told me, “Stop a while.” Maybe- in a dream. Sunshine turned into a smile- Things ain’t what they seem. Who is this- a silhouette? Better things can’t be- Love I never could forget- Coming back to me. “Look at that”- the tears are coming- This will be a flood- Some familiar tune we’re humming- Here in flesh and blood. “Dad,” and yet this isn’t dreaming- Dapper in his cap- Don’t know why my heart’s not screaming- This is off the map. Just that smile, those piercing eyes- Standing both aglow- Look at us, two crazy guys From way, back long ago. Nothing either needs to say- Stars above two men. Love that never went away- Sees the truth again. John H. Bidwell

[@ponongkhoo23]

Stay strong brother 💪

[@Echo_1174]

😢 hope you're okay... I'm so sorry. 💙

[@JervyHou]

WAIT... 73,000 views?! That's incredible!!! I don't know what to say other than I'm honored to have been able to perform one of my most favorite piano pieces for you all. It took me over a year (on and off) to complete this one, because I wanted to capture everything that was going on in my mind. Maybe one day I'll tell the story behind this piece.... but for now, I'm just happy you guys that you guys are enjoying it. Thank you so much for support. I have a lot more originals coming soon. Your KZbin friend, -Jervy

[@pavelturek3629]

All I can say is - Only 73000 views?! You deserve more! I'm honored to have the opportunity to be here before you get famous - so I can say - I was there when he had only 73000 views :) Great piece

[@GlobalMusicStd]

And now you have more than 2000 more views in 5 hours :) A great powerful composition dear colleague! thumbs up! www.tamerhaddad.com

[@samvillena5871]

Jervy Hou can you please do a tutorial or sheets please I'm inspired by this.

[@sammiechea4426]

Please give us sheets for this!!!!!! I really want to play this...

[@CT_ChristyThomas]

Please do make sheets available. Its brilliant. :)

[@natalieklaus7122]

At the age of 8 my grandmother was taken from me, she had cancer. As I listened I could only think of her. She had always wanted to play piano, but her parents couldn't afford for lessons for her. Knowing that my parents started me in piano lessons. Now everything I play, I play for her, and hope that she can hear me.

[@JervyHou]

Hey guys. If you like this piece, please it thumbs up and share it with your friends/family. And as always, subscribe if you're new to the channel. I'll be putting out a lot more content soon.

[@giuseppedellamotta]

Jervy Hou yes, this is definetely your best composition jervy! all this just blows my mind

[@SebastianReitzner]

Hey Jervy, this is a really nice piece. I would be really interested to maybe have a seperate video without all the orchestral tracks added in, just the piano maybe. Would it be possible for you to upload it on it's own?

[@jackelol3587]

Jervy Hou Ciuld you put your breathtaking, sad and heavenly piano pieces on Spotify?

[@nyla-amarasmit8117]

Jervy Hou can it please be the piano not heavy orchastra edited in? Piano is enough. Maybe maybe! Light edit. But not this much a whole part piano was gone by it.. to bad. Love your piano work!!

[@skd9685]

Jervy Hou you're amazing, could i use this on my videos?

[@ladymelody92]

If I could physically talk to my parents one more time, I would tell my dad that I kept my promise and tell my mom that we are all taken care of and how I love them both so much and miss them so much.

[@tabithaschultz2145]

My dad just passed away very recently, unexpectely, and I feel like someone punched me in the gut most days. I was with him when it all happened. The only thing that calms me is music. I just want a hug from him.

[@shawnwolfwood1437]

Prayers and thoughts to both of you ladies

[@matthewthompson9296]

I'm sorry to read about your losses, my wife lost her father many years ago and when the anniversary comes, it is a pain I try to share. Stay strong. Matt

[@brianastle6954]

You will indeed have opportunity to convey those feelings to your parents.... Death is not the end of our existence. Our spirits are eternal and will be resurrected with our bodies... We will see and know family and friends again because of the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

[@ladymelody92]

@@brianastle6954 I appreciate the kind words and the sentiment.

[@2PRC5]

I think of my very best friend who has gone to heaven this winter. I miss her a lot and often I talk to her and say that I will always love her, remember our best times and wish we could repeat them...maybe one day

[@joaofonseca817]

Like we give a shit lmao

[@Da-Creams]

InViKTus haha

[@summeruylia8104]

damn

[@anannonymouscoverartist]

If only could talk to my granny one last time,I'd tell her all about my life and if she said she wished she was apart of it I'd say,you are,and finally id sing to her.id sing a song about how much I loved her and missed her.we hardly know each other,but she's still my granny,

[@dr.bonniewoodruff1906]

I am a concert pianist and I have been listening to your music it's just wonderful in one of your pieces I think about the crazy music I could hear another piano playing Another Part to that music like two pianos playing at the same time I bet you could do that I hope that you will think about this and do it so intertwine two thoughts together I can see that in your playing your movement on the piano with so much expression where I don't have to analyze your playing I can relax and listen where I have listened to other piano music other performers and they're good but I'm always saying you could have done this to it or you could have done that to it in your case I don't have that sense of needing to do anything to say change this change that I have taught for over 60 years so I have a problem in that area lol now my main thing is doing gospel music so I've studied a lot of classical and perform classical that I like to arrange gospel music and you gave me so many new ideas to do with my gospel music but I'm a little old lady from Pasadena who is 77 years old so I am not out there like you are you're young and have a future and you've already accomplished a lot in your future so keep going you're awesome people would love to hear more of you personally in a concert I imagine and look at the reviews you've had wow over 70,000 awesome no I might add I have not tried personally to match that because I've been in so many other different areas writing books for piano as an educator and mystery stories that are real in my life and now I have a restaurant where my kids cook and run it and I'm comedian on top of that and perform at the restaurant. God bless you and your endeavors and keep playing that piano.

[@JervyHou]

Wow! Thank you guys so much for the amazing comments! So glad you guys like this piece :).

[@FROSTBlTTEN]

[@Dylan-eo5lh]

[@robidutta4524]

Amazing! God gave man the gift of music so he/she can talk to Him

[@lyseam2891]

It reminds me of my dearest mom and the last moment I could see her 4 years ago :(

[@yashkags4eva]

Always love listening to your music, but when you play the piano...my soul soars. BEAUTIFUL. INSPIRING.

[@GeoMatRay]

Dear Jervy, I lost my closest friend a few years ago, and one of the last good memories of sharing things with him was listening to your "A Breathtaking Piano Piece" together. He had a keen taste for good music and was very impressed with it. I'm going to listen to it again now. Thank you for touching people's lives in a positive way; may you keep up the good work!

[@annenglish2935]

I see a story of one discovering the notes creating the music in their journey... the harmony that love embraces the purest enlightenment...the ocean waves forever filling our soul abundantly with the miracle and boundless beauty of life... 7/21 🌺 Grateful for your talent and sharing your heart with all of us... and to those who have gone before us. ✨

[@melonica90]

Your musics makes me feel I'm alive.

[@emilymong2478]

My aunt passed away very recently and I would love to learn this song to play in her memory.

[@JonMo94]

To my ex-girlfriend before having to leave cause the Army needed me somewhere else: "I wish we could have been together forever, but know this, that all the memories we shared all the good times of joy and laughter will always remain stored in our hearts till the end"

[@jodisherwood3748]

😪🙏😭

[@teresapegtree5052]

your composition flows over all grandma's. how happy she is, now wearing a different change of clothes and hearing you perfectly. My grandson is musical at 3 and I will set your "piano lovely words" as background entertainment. He likes to conduct music while playing w/toys. THANK YOU (keep thinking for our love of piano, people need your piano words) all over our world together, spread the common love shared thru sounds

[@ana-bonnegarcia8178]

If I would go back to talk to someone I love one last time, I would say "I love you."

[@vkwong7569]

Ana-Bonne Garcia I was just thinking about saying "I love you"... and then I saw this comment... RIP Michelle Shim...

[@joannaharris1809]

I prayed and gave God 🙏many many thanks for you and your talent you help so many people God bless you 🙌

[@dawson588]

My great grandmother just passed away very recently and we just had her funeral. I want to learn this in memory of her

[@williamsaltsman6537]

This man is extremely tallented. All his songs are breathtaking.

[@raymonddelva1125]

This is exactly the music to listen to for a daily trip to heaven....

[@daybreakd]

Absolutely beautiful 💖 This music was beautiful on its own and then I read your words. What a lovely tribute to your grandmother. I believe this piece would fill her heart with pride! You are so talented! Treasure life, people, experiences...it passes so quickly! Let those that mean the world to you know it, and often! 😍

[@davidpearson7610]

I love this piece. It does speak to me about someone. My mother passed away in the hospital while my wife and I were sick with the flu 2 1/2 hours away. I would have loved to tell her what she meant to me all my life!!

[@keeganturner8448]

I just recently lost my mother. I stumbled across this and all I can say is thank you

[@esra423]

Jervy, may your Grandmother rest in peace, in the end we will all leave this world. It isn't how much we lives or wealth we made, its the moments in life and caring about the generations to come what makes like special, let's enjoy what we have left, and make this short joueny our most interesting story. Beautiful piece, great emotion.

[@martin6600]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SPOTIFY THIS!!! I BEG YOU! Please it's such a beautiful and lovely song

[@dushantmeshram5098]

For the first time in my life i experienced the power of music. It Seems like the pianist got a lot of memories attatched to it.

[@johnmoon3848]

Truly uplifting and healing and appreciated! 🎶

[@michelejackson4163]

Dad left after a car accident… no goodbye. Only a spiritual goodbye. My spirit understands; but my earthly man misses the conversations. I know you’re here we aren’t all caught up. I didn’t get to grow up in his home, but my empathy led me to call my dad. His strength as a Jamaican immigrant is why I am here. #eternally and forever grateful. Love that we talk in the spirit and you still advise me. I love the wisdom you passed on in this life.

[@anna-a-podsh]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard!

[@woodstoney]

It is amazing how certain music touches our heart strings. I lost both parents a few months apart early this year and this song definitely had me thinking of them and how I would love to talk with them, one last time. Thank you for sharing!

[@kameliatsedek5094]

Jervy, no matter how many times I listen to you work.. It will be like I listened to it for the first time. Clever, clean and emotional

[@patybs8379]

That song reminds my mom. I would like to say that I always loved her and I always will. That I’m grateful for everything that we went through together and I won’t change anything. That’s shaped who I am and who I become. Thank you for the song seems that was written for her. As I said before, ou are extremely talented. God bless you always 😘

[@martinmakhovitskiy8382]

@Jervy Hou Sheet music would be amazing! I've been playing piano for 9 years and this is one of the best pieces of modern music I've heard! Keep it up!!!

[@sheilacombs1266]

I love listening to your music thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. It's so uplifting to me as I think of the love ones I've lost during my 61 years young.

[@bangdichannel9904]

I'm watching this with my tears runnin' down my face.

[@Ace-1525]

I would just spend as much time as I could talking to my aunt, about anything. She passed away so suddenly on us, and I will forever regret not taking the time to listen to her stories more. She always was the person in our family encouraging me to keep learning, to keep discovering, to keep going, no matter what obstacles or naysayers I may encounter as I go. It's because of her I ended up choosing the university I wanted, found the courage to travel thousands of miles from home, and start a journey of self-discovery I still haven't concluded. My biggest regret is not having spent more time with her, getting to know who she was as a person. All I can do now is hope I'm making her proud, and to perhaps one day be the same inspiration to one of the children in my life.

[@teddieklinkhammer3451]

If I could I would take this outside and play it loud enough for the world to hear.

[@KrystleLow]

That first line, even before the music began, already reduced my to tears.

[@jordyhauhnar8906]

This is absolutely the best piano music i’ve ever heard! It goes direct to my soul.. most importantly, i remember my grandpa who past away on 14th may 2018. I wish he listen to this in heaven too.. i miss him a lot :( :( thank you Jervy for this wonderful music.. keep going...

Then I'd kiss and hug them tight as long as I can ... one last time . My Dad died when I was 14 - I'm remembering him as I'm listening to Your music right now. Thank You for it. ^o^

[@christanelson-worm3937]

Thank you for sharing your talent with the world - what a gift. It stirred my soul and even more so when I read the tribute in honour of your beloved gran. Your grief is so personal yet anyone who has lost a loved one can identify with the agony of such a loss.

It is a beautiful piece and tribute to loved one. Thank you ☺

[@sammiechea4426]

This song reminds me of my crush, and the reason why I won't tell him. He doesn't even really say hi to me, but I still like him a lot. Our past has been a little...rocky, but I'm trying to restore our friendship to what it was before I wrecked it. We don't talk much because we don't have many classes together anymore, but I still like him and the feelings aren't going away anytime soon. But I'm not giving up, and I will fix our friendship. Thank you for creating this wonderful piece of music, I'm pretty sure it connects to all of us.
