LYRICS:
There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me
(You are the reason)
Come a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
BROOKLYN DUO BIO:
Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 1.2 million KZbin subscribers and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.
In 2014, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on KZbin. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on KZbin encouraged Marnie and Patrick to continue creating videos. (Other notable shout-outs since then include ones from Taylor Swift, a-ha and Pearl Jam.)
Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo KZbin channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second KZbin channel, "Brooklyn Classical", which aims to introduce classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live video performances. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets, percussionist Ivan Trevino and cellist Cicely Parnas.
Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” Their music has also been featured on several television shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and America's Got Talent.

I am 81 and a devoted fan of you and your wife. I LOVED this video, it lifted my spirits, more than you can imagine. I have followed you and your wife for a very long time and I adore your children as well. You can't imagine how much your music means to someone my age. THANK YOU. Gina Dodds (Long Island, NY)

Que lindo ver uma pessoa como a Sra Gina se deleitando nessas maravilhosas melodias tocadas por esse casal incrível.

My dear Gina a sincere Kowtow to you ❤. I always say that one must never forget music 🎶, dance or the arts. This generation of masters definitely gives hope to anyone out there 🙏 😊❤. Thank you.Sandra A. Hudson Valley N.Y.

[@Jennilovesmakeup82]

I think of my son when I hear this and I cried so hard. He is in his first year of college and I've had so many mixed emotions without him here. My son is the love of my life because I'm a single mommy. I miss him immensely. 🥺 Alexander mommy loves you more than my life. ❤

[@sunshine12041]

Yes, sending hugs 🤗

[@ttt003]

Best wishes for you and your son to do well in his studies. Hugs

Sueltalo, el amor traspasa todo. Amate mucho a tí, amate tanto tanto hasta volverte a enamorar de tí. A veces cuando amamos demasiado, solemos quedarnos vacíos. Vuelve a llenarte de Amor❤❤❤

[@cloudy--_--]

Adult son of a single mother here. Just know that he misses you just as much as you miss him and will always be with you even if there is distance between. ❤️ 🙏

[@Jennilovesmakeup82]

@@cloudy--_-- thank you so much

[@alpha1481]

The best thing is how they look at each other. You can see Patrick's love of Marnie being carried by the music. And Marnie looking at Patrick and the smile that comes to her each glance. It is the same silent appreciation of my wife and I after 35 years.

[@karentemple4572]

THE most beautiful couple of all time. You both seem to feel each other's soul and heart. So much love is in this, and felt throughout

[@natalieklempel9491]

My fiance and I are getting married in two months, and I picked this as our first dance song. We met in March, got engaged in June, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October. This instrumental version speaks to me much more than the original version. Im feeling a lot of disappointment and sadness these days, but just the melody, synchrony between the pianist and cellist, and their overall connection reminds me of the beauty in the world and the commitment that my fiance and I have promised each other. Things will get better.

[@normabrown-neaves9927]

Admire you beautiful girl your song choice is perfect .❤

[@xiaoyansalvadori8862]

I play violin 🎻 and this inspires

[@Jennilovesmakeup82]

One of my favorites. Lovely choice and have tons of fun at your wedding!

[@marilenebrito6973]

Vai dar tudo certo!!! Toda bençãos pra vcs🙌🙏❤️

[@hannahlilley5694]

Are you gonna be okay, Natalie?

[@melissalourdescumpio3815]

Love your chemistry. Whenever you two play, you are perfectly in sync. It's beautiful to watch and listen to.

[@bookmagicroe9553]

Played from the heart. So lovely.

[@ginadodds2695]

I cried thru the performance, tears of joy at the beauty of your playing. Looking into your husband's eyes brought tears to my eyes. You are an amazing couple, with many talents and I spend much time listening to both of you perform. God bless your beautiful children. THANK YOU. Gina Dodds (81) one of your devoted fans!

One of my favorite songs even though it is dedicated in my mind to my Mom and our beloved car Mattie, who both passed away in a short time. Your rendition is gorgeous! Somehow it helps drain my grief. Thank you!

[@laurasathre843]

This beautiful song was chosen for my daughters wedding in May 23'. She loves the piano, he loves the Cello. And I was thrilled to hear this. Thinking of her walking down the isle to this song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. Well done my friends! On a side note, you asked for Christmas music suggestions- WHAT CHILD IS THIS/GREENSLEEVES. Please. Thank you again for creating beautiful, moving music. It touches my heart.

[@livetotell100]

Beautiful music like this touches everybody's heart. Doesn't matter who you are, or what you believe. Well Done.

The perfect song. This couple is in perfect harmony.

[@SR-kr1en]

Amazing, soooo beautiful, just perfect!!!!👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much!!!!

[@pvd643]

This is a perfect example of a good song becoming a fantastic piece of music. Nothing against the original, but music is meant to be felt as well as heard, and you don't need lyrics to feel music... As this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt.

[@Dj265Nav]

Such a beautiful rendition! Love the glance and smile first at 00:30. Such love!

[@chanNEG]

毎回リラックスしたい時や元気ない時に聞いたりして、いつも励まされてます、こんなに素晴らしい曲を聞かせてくれてありがとう❤ I listen to it every time I want to relax or when I'm not feeling well, and I'm always encouraged. Thank you for listening to such a wonderful song.

The arrangements you create are amazing, but the emotion you pour into your work brings it over the top! Christmas songs? Yes please - can never have enough great arrangements of touching Christmas songs. Two songs I particularly would love you to play would be In The Bleak Midwinter and Mary Did You Know.

I have to be honest, I usually don't listen to the covers of the songs I don't know, but I'm so glad I decided to listen to this one or else I would've missed out on an amazing gem. So so beautiful as always. I've yet to hear the original but if it's as romantic and poignant as your version I'm sure I'll love it. 💜
