"Sparrow"~ Melancholy, by Adam Hurst, Cello and Piano

[@jenmariemorrisjm]

I was on my second trip to Portland and Adam was playing in the airport. Before I noticed he was there and that it was live cello music, all I could think about was how calm the airport felt. People weren't as anxious and there was peace in the air. It was because Adam was playing his cello right there in the airport. I fell in love with the sound and am now learning how to play cello. (I've never played any kind of instrument before.)

[@rachelhagan7588]

That's where I was introduced to his music! I will always cherish that work trip because of the chance to meet him and be introduced to some amazing and beautiful music.

[@tameraburouk1352]

Your words shows how genuine is your soul. I love Adam Hurst music. It merges the east with west. It just telling a new story of life

Успехов вам в овладении этим прекрасном инструменте...

[@Azizonblitz]

I started listening to this guy in November 2012 when I first traveled to Turkey, Ankara. It had a unique taste at that time when it was snowing. I fell in love with "Sparrow" music of him since then. I have been using it for my alarm since 2012. Omg. This piece takes me back to those old days. I'm still in Ankara. Omg. Time is running and life is changing so fast. 😕 I'm originally from Iraq. Love and Peace to all.

[@blairdelampre1796]

It's 2023 and this is the first time I'm hearing this. Why have I gone so long without hearing this masterpiece? 😢

[@sevaygoin8366]

Every time I listen to this melody it takes me far away.

[@gmborromeo]

I bought a cello before I know how to play it. I just love its sound. Then one day my big brother introduced me to Adam Hurst. Well, on KZbin. But from that day on, I can't stop listening and playing his music...

[@ΙωΑνΝαΤ-χ1η]

It's like the heaven is crying and a single, crystal tear is falling down. It's drowning me and saving me at the same time. Pure art!

Whenever I hear the masterpiece I initially recon that the chello is a crucial part of Adam's body. And without it he will die. You two (adam & chello) are the best harmony I've ever faced. The chello scraps my soul accompanying your gifted fingers. Wow I mean wow

[@Awennexx]

I've been trying to "meet" my characters for a novel I'm writing, and ended up here, trying to find a soundtrack that fits them. I've never been so moved by a song before. You've helped me paint a lifetime with a few minutes of music, and I'm incredibly humbled by your talent. I'm so glad I found your music.

[@Hybrid6644]

I could only hope to someday become as good as him. his playing is beyond magnificent.

[@anitaheubel3228]

The Cello. The most beautiful and versatile sounding instrument ever. Such expression of meaning, feeling, emotion that no other instrument can speak. Of course the musician does play a part in this expression as well🥰

[@KimLewschin]

After watching "The Piano Guys" on PBS recently & commenting on Facebook about the beauty of the cello music & how it brought me to tears, a FB friend of mine recommended the music of Adam Hurst - what a wonderful gift this friend gave me! I fell in LOVE with Adam's music while listening to 'Sparrow', the very first song of his that I heard! I'm going to recommend it to my friends that also watched 'The Piano Guys' and loved the music - Looking forward to listening to ALL of Adam's music!!!

[@thebigevilcrunchi]

this is absolutely a stunning piece of music.. i dont know how many times ive listened to this melody but i know it by heart now.. the cello has for a long time been my favorite instrument and i envy anyone who know how to play it - you blow my mind, mr hurst!

[@johnsailor6712]

"Upon tides of ebbing and waning pain, the anguished rolled into his heart as he looked out across the vast sea before him, eyes glittering with the moisture that was not the spray off the white caps brushing the listing bow of the ship. Closing his eyes against the darkening sky, one hand tightened upon the rigging, the other thumbed a ring that had sat in place for years. The grey of the storm before him echoed in his eyes and he knew as he stared out into the monstrous swells, he would never get to hold her hand again, struck in reminiscent thoughts over the times that he had, too few, too seldom. It made him smile wretchedly from the love they had shared and the regret tightening his chest. If she only knew, if he had only told her more often..." (A bit of writing this piece inspired. Thanks Adam. A sorrowful reminder that while life is beautiful, it comes to an end, so we should make sure we live so that we do not regret.)

[@amaluna9354]

The ascending and descending melody makes me think of the “sparrow” of this music as it rises, rises, rises and then slowly falls like an autumn leaf...

[@jengecat6172]

No words can express what I feel right now except how deeply this music runs to the depths of my heart and deeper. The tears at the beauty of it just began to flow without stopping.

Chad Miller I have great appreciation for art, music and literature, as you will see from some of favs. The fact that I enjoy such music - which is what brought me to this page in the first place - does not preclude making humorous comments. Are you American? If so then I excuse your ignorance as I know that you are unable to appreciate irony, which is why your culture introduced 'canned laughter' _ i.e. to let you know when a joke was being made.

[@silvaskaduwee4180]

Chad Miller OK, - so you got the canned laughter?

Oh my, what a talent you are Adam! This is so well written, so beautiful, so passionate, and so masterful that I have goosebumps all over! You are an amazing musician and this is an absolutely stellar performance!! I love the sound of your warm cello over the simple piano accompaniment! Wow! BRAVO!!! Pleased to meet you! ~Jackie

My friend went through an airport in Portland a couple of weeks ago and saw Adam playing. I get a phone call from my friend...the next thing I know Adam has the phone and real quick took the time to talk to me. I've been a devoted fan and lover of his craft since he posted "Remaining" on youtube 10 years ago. Needless to say I almost passed out when I realized who I was talking to. Thank you Adam. I won't ever forget that and will always love what you do.

A year ago i went to Eugene, Oregon. There was a small festival. I herd the most beautiful, amazing thing i ever heard. I ran tell i saw a man sitting on a chair in the middle of a circle of swarming people, i pushed through and stared in awe, "What a beautiful man" i thought. He bowed and lifted his head and looked me straight in the eye, and smiled. He walked up to me and asked "do you like the cello?" I nodded quickly. He smiled again and began to play again. cello is my life. Thank you Adam

Aşkın kör olduğu bir zaman vardı Ve dünya bir şarkıydı Heyecan verici bir şarkı Geçip giden zamanın içinde bir hayalim vardı. Umut yükseklerde ve hayat yaşamaya değerken. Aşkın hiç ölmemesini hayal ettim. onun bana geleceğini hayal ediyorum Önümüzdeki yılları beraber yaşayalım diye. Ama gerçekleşemeyecek hayaller vardır Ve aşamayacağımız fırtınalar… Hayatımın olabileceği şekli hayal ettim Yaşadığım bu cehennemden çok farklı. Şimdi olanlardan çok farklı. hayat kurduğum hayali öldürdü.

Pain is a hammer that would seek to crush our spirit. And indeed pain can lay us low; but should we strive never to never to bend, never to break, our will is only forged stronger. In hardship comes strength.

[@wagnerpolveiro7176]

Sublime...! One of the most beautiful pieces for cello I have ever listened. Thank you so much, Adam. You are just stunning and I love you.

[@Yesi9693]

I played the cello during my last year of middle school. I then realized something had always been missing from my life. Here I was just learning the basic and I saw I had never felt such electrifiedhappiness vibrate through my soul. I was crushed to learn that my high school did not have an orchestra and since my parents could not afford to buy me a cello and I still struggle to feed myself as I am a freshman in college,I feel something is missing from me.This man is blessed to be able to play.

[@manucarmo7831]

[@susanamarta2012]

So beautiful, nostalgic music.

[@TheYonderlander]

Art is the the embodiment of the dreams that we wish and the dreams that are. Why do we see it in different ways? We each have a way that we subtly change a picture, a way that gives it the image that we wish to see. The use of music is just one of these. And for the perfect portrayal of a fragile spirit yearning for the freedom it once had I commend Hurst. Well done.

Music is gorgeous!♥ Thank you Adam!

Adam grew up playing this music... me, nope not a lick...I can only play the radio and you tube My 1st song I played from adam hurst was this song, ithis song is the 1st ive ever listened to from.a cello So imagine what this song did to me, the1st time I heard it,.. Adam hurst will never know the power and the emotional draw that this kind of music can have on a 1st time listener "Blessed are the meek, for they shall in inherit the earth" and I have

[@TitaniaIsFalling]

I love watching him play. For some reason having longer fingers makes the playing look more elegant than if you have shorter fingers like mine. Also, this makes me miss playing the cello so much. Three years and I haven't touched the cello at all. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful instrument, so full of heart and so heavy with emotion, it makes perfect for the sadder pieces. To this day I still don't know why I chose to play the cello, but I can't say I regret it!

[@joeygoins8215]

I love this music. I'm usually a fan of heavy metal, but this is the most relaxing music I've ever heard. I love Adam Hurst's songs. It does wonders for anxiety. All day at work...it's awesome.

True musicians can take a simple melody and turn it into something magical that makes your heart feel as if it were flying... Very beautiful.

I just saw you at Faerieworlds 2013. The videos are wonderful, but they don't do you justice. One has to experience you live to absolutely feel the magic and music inside their own souls. The experience was quite amazing, you moved me to tears, to elation, I was paralyzed on the grass just listening to your wonderness. I was too shy to come up to you because of your blinding beauty. Thank you for giving me that opportunity. I am in love with your soul and music. Don't ever stop. Namaste.

I believe that all type of music can sound good and that the artist express their own style and self into the music and song. I like listening to many different variety of music and that it's hard to make music so let's just listen to music and if you don't like it than listen to something else and not hate the person or style that they work hard on.

This music makes me feel, my feeling very deeply; it also seems to connect me to something bigger than myself--that creative force that some call "God", it seems to connect me to the beginning-pimordial birth, and the end "Death", and it's all simply, stunningly beautiful. Thank You Adam, and keep making music.

Why must people have to compare or catergorize everything, how can they? Each and every individual thing on this planet is unique, Adam Hurst, there can never be anyone like him, the music people compose can be similar to his but not actually his. It's like people trying to cover a song note for note, trying to get the same sounds, but in reality, they can't. It's also like Jimi Hendrix, he was an amazing guitarist like Billy Gibbons or B.B. King, or even John Paul Jones and Neil Pearht.
