Remembering watching this guy with my Big Mac n fries - sat there for about an hour ……. Forgot to eat my Big Mac n fries 🧘‍♂️

Why isn't this viral with MULLIONS of views? Cause bloody new gen is into Bella poarch and Co. This is the best instrumental delivery of this song I have seen. The way he is so into it beats his skill. And his guitar playing is heavenly.

[@waynemercer26]

Millions 😂👍

[@hhattingh]

Who? No idea who Bella what not is, but I know who Mark Allen is. Although I've never had the honor of meeting him.

[@HandleDeezNutzVoluntarily]

Exactly…

[@taylorw]

This is magnificent. Never heard of this player. The emotions of this piece and its story just embrace this guy.. Thanks again KZbin.

[@bobwilkinson4008]

Doesn't get any better than this absolutely brilliant. Mark make an album people will que to buy it. Just envious of the playing, maybe one day if I survive long enough. Magical!!!

[@shaynealvares]

This man makes the vocals for this song redundant! Amazing!

I love how you can hear every word without one being sung.

[@paulrevell9300]

Brilliant rendition by a Talented Guitarist. Pity the majority of those walking by Ghosted him as if he wasn`t there. How`s the Shakespeare line go? Beware of he who hath not a Love for Music for he hath a Darkness of The Soul.

[@raycollins3229]

Well said Paul. Peronally, I would be riveted to the spot. I get teary watching his video performances and I'm 70, and I'm saddened for those passing by. As long as this man plays music there will be an abundance of love all around.

[@paulrevell9300]

@@raycollins3229 Hi Ray.. Yes, when music you personally consider as being good it uplifts the Inner Spirit more than a Bottle of Spirits can. Thomas Edison said.. When a Human Being is listening to Music, every Cell is listening. I`m 77 in a few weeks time.. It blows your mind when at this stage in our lives, eh? The Big 7-0 Club. We had 10 Bands practice in a Sound Room I created at the bottom of our Garden right across the 1990`s, so we did what I always say to Old Friends.. Keep on Rocking! Persevere at all times, Be Lucky, and a Happy 2023 to You and Yours, Ray.... ✌+♥🎸 Paul+Kay

[@jimheffernan6341]

He could surely go much further if he wanted but you can just tell he's not about making big bucks. He's about really playing music the way it should be played. With real feeling and the the ability to touch others with it. So so Fuckin glad I came across you Mark. Hope you never stop playing 👍👍😉😉

[@stuartclarke3389]

Look at that guitar neck! that guitar is that mans pride and joy and is an extension of his body, Unbelievable tone and what a cover 🔥

[@carmenskygazer]

I can't understand why people just walk past. Look at the dull faces with out any feelings. Sad, sad, sad. Music that comes from the heart touches my heart, and I would listen all day, and of course donate. Am sitting here since 2 hours and enjoy Marks Music 🎧🎸🎶💓

[@bridhanlon]

Unbelievable that people keep walking by and dont stop when they are in the presence of a genius!

How can 11 people dislike this? Are your ears broken? So much passion and emotion in this guy

[@invisiblekid99]

How is there not a crowd watching this?! No matter what I was doing I'd take 5 and watch this man play this song, the best Christmas song ever

[@scottlomax572]

Because no one acknowledges anyone who isn’t on tick Tok there not interested

[@tomschmidt4355]

My thougths. For me absolutely incomprehensible, how all can be such ignorant. I would stay at him until he'd played the very last string.

[@cooler066]

To those who walked straight past....... You have no soul. You should have stopped and listened. This is an excellent rendition of one of the best songs ever written. Who needs the vocals when you can make the guitar sing like this?.

[@grimnirproductions]

Every time I watch this video it gets better, I dare say it’s my favourate video on the internet, here we have mark allen sat there in the cold and the rain and he plays his heart out on a guitar that’s chipped and seen it’s day but he plays, people walking by so he goes “if they won’t listen…they will!” And starts playing, and gives in my opinion one of the best performances I’ve ever seen Even by just looking at his face you can see the amount of emotion, joy, pain and just pure emotion he flows into his guitar like it’s an extension of him This video is incredible and this cover is legendary. Period

[@rogerjohannesen3536]

now,THIS is a musician

[@shaunfelling3696]
