Found out about this beautiful piece through a friend. Had tears running down my face listening to it! The power of music is insane..

[@eac-ox2ly]

I love how you can hear when he simply lays his fingers on the keyboard's keys. So subtle, but adds so much intimacy to the sound.

[@ryanfisher1440]

I know! the hollow abrasive sound of the keys moving or maybe it's the pedals? I dont know, but it's stuck with me now

[@ChristopheChang]

Im obsessed with this song at the moment. Can't get it out of my head.

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

even thinking about this song can make one's mind be at peace :)

[@pazgomez1638]

Me toooo!

[@gjfotos7693]

This is his greatest masterpiece... 🏆 It's all, birth, life, death, heaven... Love, hate , sadness happiness ... It's all in this song... Brilliant you are Nils Frahm! 👏 Greater then great...👑

[@erinnhaskinsedwards9466]

Just saw him perform live and this was by far my favorite song of the night. Just breathtaking and beautiful. I was mesmerized.

[@aphexfreak]

This brings me back to my younger days. Growing up, not realizing yet how big the world is. Everything just flows, time runs slowly.

[@firefly212]

...Under my skin and in my soul. How does someone produce this beauty?

[@AndreasDelleske]

try this: Sit down at a well tuned grand piano. touch only very few notes, listen to each of them, listen to them fading... forget what music you heard elsewhere..mtake time. you will hear that some fit better, some want a motion, some change context. correct if you find a nicer or better note. you may notice that from time to time, your fingers start singing. It's not you. Just be there. No goal. No effort. Try C minor :) you travel farther with minor scales. See that a minor third can be quite happy too.. that a half tone can be beautiful when an octave away.. don't leave the scale too soon, it's not Olympia :) listen to the sound around you while playing too, and the silence behind everything. this is you.

What a beautiful piece! Nils Frahm's music is very special and speaks to the heart. Thanks for posting.

[@drakestar13]

pure love....i had tears in my eyes

[@lewishayler2753]

I saw him last night in London and he played some slow stuff but sadly not this. I would have broken down if he had. Love , love , love this.

[@shivers225]

I saw him in London too and was blown away. Any idea of the set list? I’m new to Nils’ music, would love to hear those pieces again.

[@scottnicol1015]

@@shivers225unsure of the first half as I think it was mostly new music composed for the London events and maybe some newer stuff I don’t know the name of. Second half I think the order was roughy: Familiar, Hammers (although not played the same as the original version in the first portion), Says, For - Peter - Toilet Brushes - More.

[@Marbles35]

It has a bit of a Satie vibe. This is even grander.

[@Peterholland48]

Love the way it takes all other things out of Your mind .

[@ch0mmi321]

you’re right!

[@araucaria5173]

a very beautiful piece of music .

[@pasodiufwen]

Read your interview in TapeOp. Most impressive. Bought your disk, and when listening on a proper system -- I mean really proper -- I was floored. KZbin and the rest are handy but there is no substitute for well, you know… I hope other listeners will read and learn about your approach to music. Thank you.

[@Marbles35]

Pure, intense and subtle beauty

[@stephanieblundell6541]

Just..... beautiful - thank you

[@niim1430]

So schön //

[@GiedriukasMazhylis]

I cant believe!!! even I love this kind of music !!!

[@michaelt.8956]

I love how he reacts the his audience with a smile at the 4:24 moment...

[@alizakeri9148]

This is NILS FRAHM 👍👍👌👌

[@loonhunt]

this is the most powerful thing i've heard in a long time. thank you for sharing, nils. and ehsan =]

[@ivan49261]

Amazing!

[@durko76]

Beautiful mate, sounds a little bit like... Alice Coltrane - Turiya And Ramakrishna

[@hennygoose]

i had the feeling i knew the song from somewhere... was searching through all my music and almost gave up until i saw your comment. spot on!

[@the_rugged]

Damn, i was just listening to that before clicking in this video. Great song!!

[@Prometheus-115]

Yeah does anyone know why it does have the exact same hook at the Alice Coltrane song? Is the Nils song meant to be his interpretation of it? Can’t seem to find any reference to it.

[@HollyVanHart]

😻 Thanks for this! 💜 😍 👍

[@juancarloscaballero3534]

Que maravilla.

[@AndyPawlakOfficial]

When the universe talks , this is what it sounds like .

[@jaypeckay5898]

sorry to hear you're deaf........get out more:)

[@annaward3170]

what a beautiful translation your words depict

[@aristidesnik12]

incredible

[@storegga]

Is this a tribute to Alice Coltrane?

[@cottontooth]

It sounds like D’angelo made a song for the Zelda game

[@jsolco]

So deep... :-))

[@jaypeckay5898]

What a shallow life you must have lead........ :-(((

[@stevewood3953]

Anyone know the instrumentation on the recorded version that appears in the album: All Melody? There is a subtle, but captivating background sound that feels like a pedal from a pump organ or something ... A mesmerizing piece ...

[@adallinn]

He talks about it here /watch?v=p_RKVUMaPek Very intresting

[@jaypeckay5898]

felt on the piano

[@VIKIVAURORA]
