[@lotuskwe8103]

[@jeannee.parenteau9905]

The first time Prince played this I felt so much emotion, it was an explosion. This by Escobar brings it all back and I am just amazed that it is a violin. Just wonderful Damien, you are so blessed with this talent. Thank you.

[@Choleo98]

He graduated from Julliard at age 13 ? Amazing ..hope he stays humble and he keeps it together. His music is awesome !

[@camille.8285]

Funny you say that, because there is violin in the song, towards the apex, they start to join in on the harmonies.

[@misscommentarycleveland7142]

Riiight

[@jeanajeana6614]

I was a little girl when my mom took us to see this movie. Been in love with Prince forever. My mom said my brother and I lost our minds when the song came on she thought they were going to kick us out. I remember our vinyl records and playing this song over and over. I used to lose my mind if I heard Prince in the car and PR I was done. Lol Now every time I hear it I cry. This was so beautiful. So touching.

[@d.b.9058]

I cried listening to him play to this song...Prince came to my mind..the way he plays is almost how Prince played this song on his guitar...totally flawless...😊😢

[@johnflorio6269]

Every song is intense, you can see/feel his whole body make that violin does what it does. Your talent is unmatched

[@josephamego1528]
