On the Nature of Daylight (Cover)

I know it's been a SUPER LONG time since my last post. A lot has happened in life since the last video. A pandemic, the world shutting down, buying a house, etc, but I'm back. No better video to come back with than the most requested song I get, On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter!
Playing along with me is my dear friend Caitlin Edwards. Caitlin is an AMAZING violinist and I'm so glad she decided to do this video with me. Be sure to check her out on Instagram @ViolinistCaite

Could possibly never forgot all the emotions this dialogue created 🤐

[@hvanmegen]

those lines always shatter my heart into a thousand tiny pieces... I'm sobbing uncontrollably right now...

[@d3vastat0r89]

Thank you for this. I just watched a video where this song was used, and I couldn’t focus on what was being said in the video. I was just so focused on the music. I knew I’d heard it somewhere before, but I couldn’t remember where.

[@a.k.619]

I usually programme games and listen to music on the side. But when I heard this, I had to stop everything I was doing. And look who the hell can transport so much emotion into a piece of music. You are not just playing something, you are the music itself in the truest sense of the word. Absolutely fantastic.

Facts

[@ddobbins777]

Listening to this, it sounds so simplistic, but there's the irony. A.K., I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly. I love to watch and listen to this man bring something to life. It's like his instrument is a piece of him - an appendage of sorts that's attached to his heart. Have you heard him cover Ludovico Einaudi's Nuvole Bianche, yet? It will not disappoint.

Seriously? I mean, yeah it's beautiful, but it's the kind of beautiful you serenade yourself with while committing suicide.

[@TheEggwolls]

I lost my friend 11 years ago. Hearing this song floods me with such grief. My wife told me something so beautiful though. “Grief is unexpressed love.” In a way, I hope I don’t stop grieving. Thank you for this beautiful cover of such an impactful piece of music.

[@robgoose8126]

It's so interesting how music brings out different emotions. Last night I heard this song for the first time in the movie Arrival. After, I put it on Spotify and hopped on the bed with one of our dogs, he gave me that deep soulful stare that dogs have and we were connected in a weird way I can't explain. He got so licky and was kissing me so much, I got tears in eyes and smiled uncontrollably through three repeats of the song. I don't recall the last time I was overcome with happiness like that. Truly amazing piece of music.

[@therealstrigil]

"On the nature of daylight" is such an iconic piece (Shutter island, Arrival), and your rendition is meticulously accurate as much as it is heartfelt and moving. I am a big fan of classical music played in movies, and covers of them, and this is one of the best I've heard in my life. Congrats to both of you, you are both very talented.

I am here, present in this moment writing this and with whoever needs to see this.. you will be okay. The darkest moments are when the light will shine the brightest. I always come back to these songs, playlists when I’m feeling uneasy, emotional or feel like I DONT deserve happiness. it took so much work but here I AM. Kuddos to the people who create this music, I always wonder if they’ve gone through hell and portray it through their music. Good luck to all in 2023 🙏🏼

[@benn8962]

I just need you to know how much I truly enjoy your music. Since covid I started working from home. I have listened to you everyday. I am a telemarketer.. I Know, I know... but..I have heard some incredible stories from all over the U.S stories from folks that I will never forget. Sad, lost, broken, retiree's who hadn't seen anyone, and some inspirational from the perseverance of our strength through such hard times. You were the background music. You are tied in so many memories of 2020 for me. I told my spouse just the other day once we go back to the office, outta of our safe bubble, I'll miss you the most. I still will have my breaks lol but you sir are amazing. I can't even 😭 thank you!

[@amateur_guitarist]

I started to cry before even starting to listen because I already knew the wrath of your musical prowess would befall us.

[@kells12]

i am a cellist myself, and every single one of the pieces you have made a cover of have been some of my all time favorites that i love to play as well. You are one one the most talented people i’ve come across in my days and are an inspiration to me and probably many others. I was so excited when i saw that you had posted another video, and when i saw what song it was i was completely in shock. thank you so much for the beautiful music and the incredibly hard work i know you’ve put into it! God bless you and please never stop playing!

[@gek1915]

This masterpiece sometimes is unbearable for your soul. I don't think I've heard any sadder song than this

[@TatianaThemis]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@antonpoddubnov4651]

From my point of view: this is one of the greatest pieces of modern music out there. Ever since I first heard it in the “Shutter island” movie - I just can’t stop listening to it from time to time. It turns my soul inside-out every time and sets the storm of emotions and images in my head. Max Richter is a genius for sure: he was able to put so much “story” in a short music composition. It’s incredible. I was so pleased to hear you playing it, thank you.

[@lesego3965]

There are no words to describe how this makes me feel.

[@4JBEAST]

Ay cello guy I don’t know if you’ve seen Avatar the Last Airbender but there is a song called The Last Agni Kai and I think it’s right up your alley. I can only imagine how beautiful your cover would be! Maybe give it a listen? My favorite of yours is Hans Zimmer’s “time” but this one is amazing by the way!

[@4JBEAST]

Haha thank you! He actually already has a cover of time! And if you haven’t heard his cover of interstellar you should check that one out too!

Superb. I play guitar, and understand the myriad of factors surrounding skillful playing, including vibrato, attack, clarity of notes, etc... Very few guitar players demonstrate mastery of the instrument, imho. I don't count myself among their ranks, not even close. I can only imagine how much more difficult it is to produce music on the cello and violin, so devoid of the distractions of error. This playing is masterful.
