THE INCREDIBLE LIFE STORY OF MELBOURNE 'PIANO LADY' NATALIE TRAYLING

[@ronasaurus74]

Thank you so much Natalie! I was a Melbourne bike messenger for 20 years , and many, many deliveries got delayed by her mesmerising playing. I know she touched all of us. I am so glad to see that she remains one of the most special, treasured people in Melbourne , and has a place to live in peace.

[@jujuberrie]

One of the greatest composers and piano players of the modern age, in my humble opinion... And all for the sake of loving her art form. Not for fame, not for money, just for the people. Truly inspiring.

[@nicholaspearson4246]

Yes, absolutely. You have said it in few words. How many of us were brought to rears listening to her playing? I would guess many thousands.

[@tarien2213]

Wow, I bawled and bawled when Natalie started playing, I don't know why I just couldn't help it. Why was this beautiful angel not recognised earlier. What an amazing legacy she has left her son, I could see her playing at Sydney Opera House with Lang Lang she is so good. I hope she gets recognised for her dedication to her craft in some way, she really deserves it.

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Natalie's music spoke to my soul. A beautiful lady who shared her magnificent playing with everyone. Music is the universal language.

[@gregtivles2878]

This story never grow old! When she puts her fingers on that piano, it took us to the skies and the heavens really! I thank her for her talent and her story.

[@AZBryants1]

Matthew, thank you for sharing your mother's gift. Today is my birthday, and your mother's music popped up on my feed. I was so mesmerized by the piece, and had to hear more of the hauntingly beautiful music, and the astoundingly talented artist! Please thank your mom for the best gift ever ❤️

[@Matthewtrayling]

I will Deb and happy belated Birthday.

[@KS-yv2ve]

I remember her when she was living on the streets of Hobart, that most beautiful soul I have ever met. I remember Natalie telling me about how free she felt living on the streets and her love for music. This was in the early 90's. Im glad that she is still alive and well and playing in Melbourne, I wish I saw her there when I was there in '19 because I had never heard her play live. This is a woman I admire greatly.

[@charliebucket8435]

Hey Matthew, it’s so great you have decided to put up videos of your mom playing the piano. She’s truly one of the rare kind of people who were born to be artists, the way she plays the piano is breathtaking. A raw, beautiful soul I’m so glad I got to know today.

[@treadeffectfitness2446]

"Nothing has changed. Just rearranged" "That's what happens with life. You think its gone, but its only just changed" What powerful words! A woman who has experienced so many different aspects of life, and is able to express her experience and passion with such beauty and freedom, not only with words but through her music. Thank you Matthew for documenting your mother's journey.
