I want to end my life most of the time, then I remember there is music. I just have to do music and everything goes away. Thank you the two of you, I admire you as musicians. LOVE!, and God bless you all.

[@JacobSW.]

Im glad music gives you relief, as it should. The beauty you experience is the beauty of your mind; what's better to remind you of life's purpose? Pain with time will always fade, joy remains forever. Take care!

Folks, at 5:54, Nils realized time could enhance the music ten fold. He realized, if he added a delay to his piano play, it would enhance the song ten fold. It was at this moment Nils' genius broke through. And, by the look on his face, he knew it.

[@andrepinto7895]

exactly. that's when the idea came. the complete musical implementation was at 6:07. from then on, it's pure bliss.

[@gerald02121]

I love to watch Nils' hands as he thinks with them... this is an incredible clip of musical creativity, by two people deeply in touch with one another. So thankful to whoever captured this. I often wonder if some creature that evolved outside of earth came here and heard this, if it would be beautiful. I don't think so. Great musicians understand, above anything else, the human brain. Consider that thought as you watch this, and it will make it even more beautiful than it already is.

[@xrandomloverxx]

I wanted to cry at the end! When the echo went on in the middle I pictured droplets of rain or snowflakes, so pretty! x

[@julietchristensen9379]

No words... ❤️

[@bloomingsdale00]

There is something so undeniably beautiful about this.

[@undergroundblu]

Leaning back in my chair, I closed my eyes and rested my feet on the desk. Just listening to each note you could feel their vibration softly underfoot. It felt so warm. Then traveling through my body, sinking into my heart. Its so beautiful.

[@corinnejnsl6274]

Merci les artistes ❤ merci d'exister ❤

[@Dreemans]

If you can improvise this together... man... such talent! And always when this song comes up in my playlist, I have to cry so much. Talk about triggering something. Big thank you!

[@MCmirrr]

How is this even an improvisation?? Amazing! Cute ending, hahaha.

[@deepulse9752]

discovered olafur through nils frahm. And then boom, this featuring pops up in the recommandation. Holy mother of intergalactic emotional sounds

[@omaonnicha4823]

I don't know why but I'am crying so hard. OMG Am I crazy

[@jayjaybax85]

You're not alone. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[@DiamondsOf2]

you are not crazy. i would hug you if i could.

[@quietastronaut]

Not at all. I cried too the first time I heard this and it still gives me chills every single time I listen to it

[@333Eriana]

I ADORE OLAFUR - - and discovered Nils later by accident - - -i made a mix for myself of both of their music - and then just found this - These men, and their spontaneous creations are pure beauty - - -that's from the heart and spirit - that's why you cry - I listen to this music when i paint - and if i don't cry - i know i'm not fully in the moment - and the painting won't work.

[@BasicMazen]

Yes a bit Cause you only cried ^^

[@Anseflans]

"A-minor?" "Sure" BAM. Masterpiece.

[@BeqaGeorgian]

From 5:40 it's absolutely amazing masterpiece. No words needed.

[@DirectorRanjeet]

this is what ive been looking for my whole life, something with feeling, emotion. something that can change your life, in life we have very very rare moments where something changes the way you feel emotionally, i cant describe it, but this is what my soul was crying out for. thank you for this. love from the UK

[@DarrylFeilen]

This was unbelieveable!!! On the spot music.... and so powerful. Haven't seen anything quite like this before.

[@alicecooper6248]

There's nothing more beautiful than this. Thank for Broadchurch music.

[@BenedettoM]

Such beautiful textures, ended in such a loving and friendly way. An example of greatly gifted individuals.

[@den0n]

This performance is priceless!

[@jorgegofy]

[@mixedupfilesmusical4038]

Def no.

[@MrEASONC]

Such two precious talents for us

[@AntiEmoPizza]

Wow, that was intimate. Beautiful!

[@tonioswan]

there are no words for that

[@Beyonder1881]

This is immensely beautiful. Finally I was able to cry.

[@juanbarandica2686]

Cuando la música se hace esencia y las notas se evaporan en gotas de ambrosía ...

[@ztsb_koneko]

Eye drenching beautiful. I would probably been up in tears if I was there.

[@01RobPwr]

Just incredible. This is just pure talent. Love watching this kind of stuff.

[@CoryHubbell]

stunning....chills....beauty and reverence all in one. Kinda speechless

[@renaud_c_h]

I am overwhelmed by such beauty... You both definitely have to take the path of collaboration on an album. Thank you Ólafur, thank you Nils! :)

[@ElliotEkoh]

So simple yet it surpasses anything i could ever dream of composing...

[@RoyClaessen]

best musical piece of art i have ever heard

[@EricaEAn]

So Beautiful! Makes me cry everytime.

[@MrEASONC]

How cute they are!!!

[@claraoswald_121]

I would give the world of they did that in 2019. And just two piano's.. ❤️

[@ruzicheers]

Honestly.. I think that last note "played by mistake" actually makes the whole thing perfect.

[@user-zv2pg6vr8m]

Потрясающе 💙

[@cocoandrews5114]

So beautiful and amazing peace to my ears love it

[@DarrylFeilen]

Can someone please re-create this? It's absolutely amazing!!! Just needs a sound clean and probably a few minor edits. I absolutely love this.

[@shaunrigby1]

I think those imperfections add something to the piece of music. Editing would make it sound to polished in my opinion

[@itcametothis]

I've seen them improvise a song before.. love these guys.

[@nutkins112]

they play off each other so well. two excellent musicians.

[@kevincoiner]

Back in the days when music was real

[@duvels86]

I notice the same feeling of admiration in the crowd as I felt in Gent. Great performance!

[@francoisdetraux3273]

Nils Frahm spent a lot of time to find Olafur style music style, but Nils was very good also congratulation again !

[@carol02086]

i listen to this and a lot of things come in my mind~~~

[@astridpoucin2529]

C'est magnifique !!

[@CAPITALIZEDNAME]

I am breathtaken. That was incredibly beautiful. This just motivated me to work even harder on my music, and the first thing I'm doing when I get the time is going to 4sound and getting myself a keyboard. I love all kinds of music but I have to get in to this style of music. Guitar just isn't enough anymore. And Olafur, for the love of god, make a collaboration with this guy.

[@DuquesneXavier]

could hold my tears until 6:50 and then not anymore

[@shhhaina]

i would like to have his music spilling in my ears, always
