Huge Crowd Forms When I Play Children in Shopping Mall | Cole Lam

[@ColeLam]

Love that the piano is so versatile and can play so many different styles of music - like Children by Robert Miles. An high energy EDM Electronic Dance Music from the 90s with loads of bass, first transitions and vibing and vibrations! Can just let go and throw all kinds of moves and shapes, not just on the dance floor but on the keys! This is from Battersea Power Station when I visited it last year and loads of other pianists randomly turned up too (although this is before most turned up).

❤If the Children of the world hold each other’s hands 💙💛💞they’ll be giving off such a strength that all the walls of Hate, War, & Racism will fall down 😍🌎 💞🙏🍀💙💛🎹

[@allenl9214]

All the old folks watching remembering their raving days 😂

[@mickboyce386]

I wonder how many people actually know the song? It comes up as my most played KZbin video

[@aidenprintup4547]

What a masterpiece that Robert Miles left us, R.I.P . I am so happy you decided to cover this Cole, Thank you so much

[@shawnmichaels4805]

He never left us the lyrics to this song. 🥲🥲🥲🥲 R.I.P. Robert Miles.

[@jeffgutierrez8796]

Thank you, sir. I'm a retired music teacher and many of your videos bring tears to my eyes. You do amazing renditions of beautiful music and I think "YES!, THAT'S HOW ITS DONE!"

[@michaelpalmer4013]

Well said! Exactly my sentiments..

[@ColeLam]

Wow thank you for those really kind words!

[@SomethingSeemsOff]

Wow, I didn't realize how hard this song would be to play on the piano. The whole progression sounded better and better as the song went on!

[@LadanzaTube]

It don't have to be so hard. But what Cole played is very hard but of course sounded fantastic it's an wonderful arrangement he came up with 👍🏻🎹🔥🔥 I love to play edm on piano and do that on my channel too but of course I'm far away from Coles skill level 🙈🎹💖

[@lukeshaddick4105]

Cole also makes songs really difficult to play too hahaa

[@LadanzaTube]

@@lukeshaddick4105 yes that's part of what I tried to say 🤗

[@garybrindle6715]

Never heard anyone singing....

[@margaretflounders8510]

Maybe the heavenly choir @@garybrindle6715

[@30goals]

the look of 'can you believe this' at 3:25 from the guy in green is awesome

[@marciashiraishi5891]

Nice to see so many people listening and applauding, beautiful performance Cole! 😊

[@sunnycastle]

Your performances always have the power of drawing your audiences into a magical world. Thank you for this wonderful piece!

[@fmcm7715]

My dad died today after 5 months in hospital including a week in ICU and I was just scrolling on KZbin and this popped up. Seems apt seeing as me and my sisters are the ‘children’ left behind now (although we are in our 40s and 50s). Thanks for sharing Cole. Tremendous as always.

[@WhisperingPeace]

So very sorry for your loss.

[@fmcm7715]

@@WhisperingPeacethank you. Weirdly this popped up again today on my feed.

[@neogalt2775]

I keep coming back to this one recently. Love the original, but I might like Cole's arrangement even more. It's like he has two brains playing when his left hand is "battling" his right hand. Just a mind blowing performance!

[@MrBenHaynes]

This was bad ass, Cole! I have never seen this song played on piano. It was full bodied. As a 1973 born, I remember this song in the mid 90's so well. Bravo, you are so talented (and may I say, unaffected).

[@Nieciej]

Dziękujemy.

[@cafchrisclf2248]

勁正!有令人一聽就要聽完的魅力!現場聽衆真係好幸福哦！😊

[@joserod9878]

CAF agree / he always got us great show. We enjoy more & more. Cole Wonderful comments down here. 🌎🌏🌍

[@lucasargandona4658]

One of the most recognizable and heart stopping melodies

[@KnowOneKnows]

See, it isn't just your virtuosity in playing RUSH E at top speed. It's your ability to elicit the emotions of the listener and make them feel happy. I love watching/hearing Cole 2.0! 😀

[@hitekdad]

Yes, it does seem like Cole 2.0.

[@KnowOneKnows]

@@hitekdad Thanks for the support, Gary! :o)

[@mohork]

Hi Cole I still enjoy your wonderful music at anytime of the day. I can't help still remembering you as that small boy. 😊 Ooh you can hear that light and shade in your music too.

[@timursancak1]

Cole, it was perfect like your other records. As a 47 years old newbie piano student (just started till one month), I must say that, i am highly motivated with your videos. This summer i will possibly visit London ( actually living in Turkey) and like to watch you playing live.

[@ColeLam]

Congrats on starting a wonderful journey with the piano!

[@Kelvin-f9d]

Cole takes you on a journey with this one. Yes many mistakes but the energy is what a dance track is about. And cole builds you up and brings you back down. All the other versions on KZbin keep you at same energy level throughout. Only thing that this needs is better recoding equipment and venue.

[@kennethpomeroy2792]

Cole, you are a music man that loves piano, will pass this one on to friends. Thanks Cole and team.

[@donaddington6155]

Cole I believe there are times when a cherry bomb could explode right next to you and you wouldn't miss a note. Your passion and focus for your music are totally awesome, as was this performance. While it's been the case for a while now, I'm still grateful that the crowds are returning and can show you their appreciation with applause, because I know you appreciate your fans, again, awesome performance, thanks for the post, and aa,Lyb,ssah.❤❤❤👑of🎹👏👏👏

[@Clairebearthegoodfinder]

Reminds me of my nephew Sean he mastered the piano by age 7 he just did it like it was nothing. The piano teacher said she had no more to challenge him. Cole you’re just fabulous words come short 😮 thank you

[@supra1jzed]

You gathered people across the concourse on the second floor. lol. That's awesome

[@bobtoastmaster5442]

FANTASTIC COLE, As I often do, I echo everything that Don has said in his comments (we oldies tend to think alike). This was the original "Children" but nothing you ever play goes without that unique Cole Lam arrangement and I can't think that Robert Miles would have wanted you to change anything. A lengthy piece but of course excellent for this setting as it gave time for the crowds to assemble. Who can fail to be impressed, I really wish that I had been there with you to watch and listen to you live that day. Do let me know if you are going to Battersea again. It is no problem for me getting there.

[@ColeLam]

Hi Bob! Not been there since then but would do after football season finished

[@michaelpalmer4013]

Your arrangements just keep getting better and better! I will miss you when you're doing your world tours and appearances at the Royal Albert..

[@jenniferrickard7228]

You got the rumbles and intensities into this song WONDERFULLY

[@suzettebavier4412]

One of the most unusual & difficult pieces to play, and you nailed it, Cole. VERY impressive!!!!!

[@pwrofmusic]

Beautiful mate. Keep it going!! Your brilliant with simplicity and enthusiasm fused together.

[@daydream7084]

Omg 😳 your piano skill is just blowed up my mind 😮 Dude you're... i even cant explain it... you're the greatest musician that i saw in my life! Masterpiece!!!! You're soo talented and its underrated. Oh my gosh!! Love you and your all art works so much 😍

[@ejbmenzon]

Hi Cole, this is one of my favorite 90s dance music which you have played so amazing!!! Keep up the great work giving joy to the world 👍👍👍

[@sd560]

Mesmerising.... love it! 😍😍😍😍 Love your intensity! Bravo from Asia 👏👏👏👏👏

[@raylightbown4968]

Large audience at Battersea Mall (Maybe trains to catch or rushing from the train to continue their journey at stations) - many little people, almost fully grown and adults. An individual treatment of a piece from 20-odd years ago. Lovely! 💖💖💖

[@mus31]

Epic playing! This song was my childhood

[@peggymiller9064]

Cole I could watch your videos all day!! You certainly put your heart and soul into it!!!❤❤❤❤

[@ivanstragan]

Rave in paradise Robert Miles. Forever a legend. ❤😢

[@gabicreightonbooksetc.]

I enjoy your talent Cole. Thank you for share it with us.🙏🏽💙 A big thank you to your family as well for taking care of the filming and all else they do to make these videos possible. Blessings always!🌸💕

[@janeginn6323]

My favourite dance tune ❤. You did it proud! Bravo 👏

[@danielwirth8388]

Its great that you can entertain people in public with all the pianos in your area.. You also have a great following congrats your Great.

[@FlightEagle]

Simply amazing. The intensity of concentration and letting the music flow through the piano - I can only dream of achieving that level of skill. Cole, that is so amazing and probably my new favourite video of yours. 🎹🙇‍♂❤

[@LadanzaTube]

Yes same here with me.. I was the happiest girl on earth if only I could come up on the fly with playing a song even much simpler as Cole but even that is not possible for me. I started playing self taught as adult and play my arrangements of edm songs on my channel but I need some time to come up with an arrangement and then some more to practice and eventually to record it 🙈🎹💖

[@hitekdad]

Another top 5 or 10 favorites of mine too. You'd have to see it to believe it it's so good.

[@wunderkinder_wk]

First! Lol 😂 amazing cover Cole! Love this song, children 😊

[@neogalt2775]

Really enjoyed the dynamic range of your performance! Awesome as always!

[@gxwbc]

Wow. Great stuff Cole. Haven't seen such a large crowd gathering in a long time. Good to see it was a crowd pleaser!

[@mclovin2155]

Incredible. Well done.

[@scottcarlson1660]

Once again.... Bravo Cole

[@8-bitromance43]

I remember hearing this at 6am on a beach near Dublin back in the 00's, oh god I'm feeling old hahaha... Amazing job as always, I look forward to watching you continue to grow and hope to come see you perform some time!

[@christinafg1864]

You prob already know but there’s a piano at London Bridge station too and at Lewisham station 😁 so wonderful when someone who can actually play the piano gets on and totally “WOW’S” the people!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 keep playing, you’re inspiring others while entertaining❤

Well done Cole 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎼🎶🎵❤Love this 🎹🎹🎹🎹

[@patrickstaples7314]

Dude!!!! I’ve been watching for the last couple of years and watching you get better and better. That version was one of your best. 👍🤜 after watching your vids I’ve been teaching myself how to play children.

[@snahg2356]

A Sounds like there should be four other players in there with him. I've seen him play with multiple pianists before but this song is so complex and layered I have a hard time believing he's playing it all himself. Wow

[@gaborcsima9120]

Ez nagyon jó volt! Nagyon tetszett, köszönöm szépen! 👋🙏❤😊

[@LadanzaTube]

Fantastic song fabolus played!! 🔥🎹And I love it the more because my favorite is to play EDM on piano on my own channel 🎹💖

[@ralphbaker1973]

COLE LAM YOU ARE A AWESOME YOUNG SUPER STAR 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kelvindominick8184]

That was fucking epic. Loved especially how you broke the tracks down where the drop would usually happen. Stunning

[@hanalafkova7710]

HI Cole Lam! Perfect!🙂👍❤

[@davidberriman5903]

Cole I would really love to see a recording of what your brain is up to when you are playing. I suspect the recorder would have a nervous breakdown trying to follow you. You really are a remarkable young man. Thank you and KZbin for allowing us on the other side of the planet to enjoy your performance. Greetings and profuse thanks from Australia.

[@suelymoriya7298]

Awsome!!!!!!! Congrats!

[@michellek1050]

Inspiration and beautiful interpretation ❤

[@bradleythomas27]

Awesome rendition of a dance classic, i see and hear your twists to make it unique vs the original.

[@TheRecordButton]

It's been about 6 months since tuning to your channel and I will say that in those 6 months something has changed in your playing. No longer playing classic songs of hit tunes that captures people's attention in these public places (although this song is pretty popular) but the technique and playing capturing people's ears. Keep on progressing! Can not wait to see you live one day.

[@paulsulivan7869]

Goosebumps!

[@mensch76]

Phenomenal

[@xpo186]

Wow, really cool arrangement. Have you ever made the sheet music available?

[@ColeLam]

No. It is only in my head

[@jenniaz552]

Amazing piece! Thanks 👍👍👍 P.s. would be great if the Battersea Train Station management turn that piano facing the passersby rather than facing the wall ... That way, the people and player able to connect to each others ❤❤

[@KnowOneKnows]

Cole! I just listened to this for the second time, which I usually never do. It was so invigorating to watch you express yourself through the keyboard! Was that your little improv at 2:25? Very nice! 😀

[@KnowOneKnows]

You reached that "flow" stage from the movie "Soul" at the end.

How topical al lady with child on her arm is in the background

[@hitekdad]

This may be up there with November Rain with your other iconic covers. It wasn't just a great crowd, but some were litterly jumping for joy. Quite an experience for those lucky enough to be there. Here you are, 16, and you are creating the excitement that drives the clubbing scene ala Studio 54 in its day. And, from an upright. Someday, your crowd will start dancing as soon as you play. You MUST do this with electronic effects even though you generated a few kilowatts here. Whatta boy!

[@hitekdad]

By the way it's great to see you stand up and join the crowd while you relax a bit. Get ready for hugs and kisses cause they're❤ coming.😅

[@wunderkinder_wk]

And Cole Lam banners, Mr. Gary! Fans here put up banners ...I don't know if it's practiced there hehe 😅

[@ColeLam]

Thanks Gary!

[@hitekdad]

I watch this every now and then in amazement. You know i'm not a proper piano critic, but it just seems like this is your most amazing performance. Per you, Bohemian Rhapsody must be more difficult and requires more skill. Aren't the keys per second, ie KPS, off the chart? You really drove the audience crazy...all the way to Arizona.

[@hitekdad]

I'm still so taken by this performance by you that I can't quite get over it. I'm guessing that you looked at some of these videos as you created your own incredible piano version. I still think it's in your top five all the time. How would you rank it? On the other hand, it's hard to rank your own children!!! kzbin.infozNX7DBDAMyw?si=ECKI-DK8jGKonaqi
