Hrishikesh Hirway - Between There and Here (feat. Yo-Yo Ma)

[@ashishthomas2531]

Came looking for this song after the Ted talk video... you are really awesome... love from MYSORE, INDIA

[@alezmaha6290]

Same here

[@flaviendubois5147]

I came here after listening to one of a his Ted talk talking about the importance of listening and he explained this song who's about his mom and I felt it so emotionally this song clearly describes how he feels and frankly it makes me sad

[@priya16591]

Same. Chanced upon this song after the Ted talk as well.

[@caughtintherain]

Watched/listened to this for the first time last night, started sobbing at “it’s so good to see you”. Watched it a second time knowing what it was about, ugly cried through the entire song. Today I thought, ‘I’ll be fine without the video’ so bought the song on iTunes and put it on a playlist. Was sitting on the couch in a perfectly fine mood eating snacks when it came on.. got to the bridge again and literally burst into tears with Cheetos in my mouth. And I never cry. Very sorry for your loss, this is an absolutely gorgeous work of art 💕

[@laurelsoderholm9480]

You are so there. This experience opened a part of me that was asleep. Loving someone and entering this new space of times bygone that are now appreciated in the deepest of sense and importance. I will work hard trying to listen like a note reverberating and appreciate more the souls I have the privilege of spending time with. Glad you deeply felt this experience and forever.

[@oliverknabe7397]

You are hands down the best interviewer I have ever come across, found your work through the west wing weekly and learned about your other talents there. I’m really sorry about your mom-this wonderful song is an masterful monument, so powerful

[@lizziewright552]

Thank you for sharing this, Hrishi, it's beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss. My aunt died suddenly six years ago and later I had a dream where I ordered a cab and she was the driver. It was just wonderful to see and talk to her again, like a gift from my subconscious.

[@patricklickman9972]

How funny to hear Hrishikesh sing after years of listening to him speak. Obviously he has a great voice, and this song, like Yo-Yo Ma, rules.

[@mattgilmour9831]

You can check out his older catalogue by looking up 'The One AM Radio'

[@daniloprates]

Feels like at any moment we'll hear "my name is hrishikesh hirway..."

[@devinfrench4924]

I'm disappointed in you for not knowing the One Am Radio

[@davewhite5450]

So beautifu ! Brings back memories of when I was caring for my mom and slept on the floor outside her bedroom with her door ajar, so I could hear her... tears

[@tury1500]

Same for me. The same. I cried so much listening to this song. Very profound and expressive. I feel her next to me. It’s also a comprehension of the loss process. You are a piece of a dream mamy.❤

[@St4rsNLovenotes]

Came here after listening to your TedTalk. The first 20 sec clip you played at the beginning of it was rather melancholic. Made me think about my grandma who was a mom to me. Thanks for sharing

[@HongkongerInNewZealand]

After listening ur presentation from TED talk. I can understand more about the ideas behind this MV and the song as well. Thanks for ur great work!

[@thomd7886]

I read all the comments about people crying to this song and sort of mentally scoffed at the idea that so many people are having the same experience. I thought this was maybe the sentimental version of mass hysteria I guess. Then I clicked on the video. I'm humbled to say that I held back tears as well. I don't even cry at funerals so this surprised me. My condolences to the artist and those moved by this music and video. I understand now.

[@amithrv4373]

Watched your ted talk and searched for this song.. For the first time in my life a song gave me a lot of feelings at the same time - Longing, Grief, Happiness and Pain.. Tears rolled down when the moment the Person disappeared.. I lost my mother 4 years ago, All along the song I felt she was with me.. Thank you brother.. Like you said in your ted talk you really made me feel the song and understand your perspective.. More power to you brother and lots of love.. Stay Strong..

[@wangdeeptamang4714]

Came here after his Ted talks and am emotional right now.such a beautiful lyrics and composition and also the insight and inspiration behind this song .🙂

[@stephaniefox]

What a gorgeous song and the visuals are the perfect accompaniment. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. May your mother's memory be a blessing to you.

[@Erems2020]

Hello gorgeous, how are you today? thank you so much for liking my music and being a fan, you seem like a really nice woman, how long have you been a fan?

[@emeraldnguyen182]

TED Talk brings me here. So touchy and obsessed.

[@nunancreative8932]

Beautiful. Reminds me a little of early David Sylvian (in a good way).

[@lynnriley4265]

This is beautiful Hrishikesh. Our moms are the first loves of our lives.

[@naBy4ok]

This song touched me deeply after i heard your a TED talk about it. Listen to the song with tears in my eyes. Sorry for your loss. I understand what you feel.

[@patrickbeale5282]

Ethereal and transformative, yet exquisite and therapeutic. Bravo and Thank You

[@veronicadansereau2792]

Heard his interview on the Ted Radio Hour today and couldn’t wait to get home to look up this music.❤

[@kathywinteregg9098]

The lyrics in this beautiful song so clearly represent the pictures in my heart and mind of how I feel about my late husband. He will always be a piece of a beautiful dream that lasted over 40 years. We, too, meet in the shadows.

[@Saltywinterchild]

I randomly heard this song on an Instagram story, and have been obsessed with it ever since

[@adityasengupta345]

I came here directed by the ad but this is so beautiful , so touching, so poignant and a feeling I just thought I felt when I used to see my late grandmother in my dreams. But it seems music has a universal language. Thanks for this masterpiece !

[@bridgecommand]

really beautiful - a tribute to those we have loved and are no longer here. hug your loved ones....

[@EmB61491]

This is a really good song!!! I love Yo-Yo Ma, too!

[@hollywoud559]

That's.....deep. I don't even know what else to say. This was inspired by God.

[@slyspy9819]

I just listened to his TED Talk and had to hear his music and I'm glad I did, you go bro I loved it ! (Peabody,Ma.)

[@HR-chats]

It is just an mazing musical portrait how our beloved ones are missed and remembered :(

[@RLFighter1]

Such a beautiful song, for a beautiful woman. I miss Kanta dearly and hope to see her again someday on the other side as well. Thank you for this!

[@lauriebah8758]

Thank you for sharing this piece of your heart. May you cherish your memories and be comforted in your loss. The first year is the hardest but you'll be OK. My deepest condolences 🙏 you've created a truly touching memorial in your grief. May your mother know every joy in the afterlife and may you continue to be inspired and manifest the great gifts that you have. Life is a gift thanks for sharing a part of yours in such a meaningful way. Again thank you 😊 🙏 💖 🤲 🙏

[@lulushi2935]

So emotional❤❤❤

[@bbbmd2007]

This is the first ever song to make me burst in tears, so congratulation.

[@themakuachronicles]

Omg!!! I found you on an ad for this song on fb but only after visiting your site did I find it on KZbin and it’s the most beautiful piece of art I have heard in eons!!! How wonderful and….tragic it is to feel that there are others that understand you… from the depths of loneliness and despair… how beautiful… and brutal the sound of love can be… ❤Bravo!

[@barbaraspencer9420]

Lovely

[@startitop283]

Woow so fantastic

[@vivianab9612]

I heard this song for the first time a couple of months ago, on one of those playlists that are created by those Spotify algorithms. I loved it immediately, the quiet sadness in the voice and the melancholic lyrics. Also loved the mix of the cello with electronic beats. I understood it was about loss and remembrance. I remembered my dad. Thank you.

[@hiendinh3871]

What's a beautiful song, make me cry and happy in tears

[@agneskudlich9647]

Beautiful! I'd love to read the lyrics.

[@birthinitiation]

Heard your interview today in the radio, the songs they were playing in the background caught my attention. Don’t know how I hadn’t heard of you before but I am glad I did now.

[@tinayates6199]

Amazing what music speaks through to your heart, this song is meant to be and flows through my soul. I now have a connection between heaven and here through this song bringing great tears of joy and loss. Thank you so much... I cant stop playing this song.

[@almaroman1749]

Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful song, I remembered my MOm

[@lenasiestancil7285]

Lost my papa two years ago and I still have a hard time dealing with it. I miss him so much it hurts. This is a beautiful song and he really did a beautiful job. I’ve been crying for two days

[@FRETNUB]

I’m sorry for your loss.. I know how you feel.

[@sobysun]

Beautiful song, so sorry for your loss, you make me cry 😞. Inchallah she's in a better world 🥰

[@jcw370]

Beautiful music & lyrics. I learned about your song on avatar braving the elements podcast, thanks for sharing!

[@adrielisouto]

Em lágrimas com essa música. Perdas são difíceis. 😪

[@MilligramSmiles]

this is such a chill mellow sone i first saw him on a ted talk about what you hear when you really listen and it made me appreciate the sone so much more

[@crisj.6159]

Wonderful lyrics, beautifully sung! Does anyone know of a recording without the harsh/distracting percussion? I've tried KZbin, Spotify, and Amazon - all too crisp for my ears.

[@thomascepeda86]

Would love to listen to a song exploder on the making of this song, there’s some really cool sounds and processing on this song 🎵, go Hrishikesh!

[@tflynn9673]

He gave a TedTalk abt it

[@christopherlovato8949]

Beautiful.

[@caesarcae7041]

[@kadosh78]

[@SahilKumar-ln9ub]

[@tisayoung4339]

Bawling... missing both my Mom and Dad. And I just lost my best friend...all to cancer.

[@ranggamahaswa5117]

Can't say anything, the ending of this song made me goosebumps..

[@UsmanUsman-lu8bn]

His video has been my first lovely video that i had watched in Ted talk

[@aja363]

Wow!! This is one helluva touching tribute, Hrishikesh! You have a great gift of articulating your emotions through music. My heartfelt wishes that you continue to do so!🤗🍀

[@spark6023]

I hate sad songs. But loved this one.. the emotions cut through with such honesty and grace.. amazing visual art, and exceptional music!

[@Lucyfer1012]

I want to make my own animation project for this song. The song is so beautiful and I love the true meaning of it. It’s so amazing.

[@mrrad7169]

listened dozens of times for the lyrics and the instruments coz of the TED talk, that I did not expect there was going to be a music video for this piece.. peacefully heartbreaking, soul-touching voices ( cello & Hrishi's )and music. Thank you Hrishi and blessings to the ones helped making this ART from what's passed but revisited the present, also those having all attention appreciating any part of this MV.

[@vbcxrgbb]

Come back.

[@tasnimalkassem]

I’m blessed to get to know you through yo yo ma insta, and you just made me see my two sons in your place when I m gone. My eldest called me immediately crying and probably feeling the same situation. Sons being away for so many years and meeting only on holidays a year. Your song reminds us of really getting the urge to reconnect when our life has become full of different noises. Thank you so much for sharing your loss and the beauty of your voice, music and the graphics. God bless you 🙏🙏

[@miteshgediya6557]
