Didn't they already upload this?
Kinda. 😉This is the music video only, optimized for playlists -- to see the extended story version click here: ua-cam.com/video/q7IxWpgHyXs/v-deo.html
Ok, thanks. I got a little confused.
ThePianoGuys The extended version is so beautiful! Love the way you tell your story and top it off with this incredible song. Thank you for letting us in to your world just a bit more.
3rat2catgirl ***😍I LOVE YOU*** 😍👏🎼🎻🎼🎻
I don't mind ☺❤
They way he looks at his wife as they play together makes me tear up every time. Incredible.
COVER!! ua-cam.com/video/PWis7d5tjXc/v-deo.html
Me too
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes
One thing i love about the piano guys is their insistence on quality music without feeling the need to include clickbait-esque gimmicks. The videography is artistic and beautiful but only in so much as it reflects the beauty of the music, being careful to not overwhelm or become the main thing to watch for. It is admirable looking at how big they have become that they have not fallen into that trap
Great comment! Thank you for taking the time!
Julie Nelson Oh my gosh!! Thank you for responding. I am such a big fan of all of you and everything you produce.
dang, your comment summarizes everything i was thinking
Nothing against the Piano Guys, but we are talking about the same guys who made Cello Wars! :)
@@mitchellthurner5980yeah but the whole purpose of *that* video was to be over the top and hilarious 😂😉
So, fun story. I’m a violinist, but when we have a few hours before our school concerts, we usually get bored. Now, most kids play on their phones, but I have too much energy for that. So, me, my super talented violinist friend and our pianist decided to learn this in 2 hours. The problem: I’d be on cello. I’ve played cello for a while, but nowhere near my violin skills. We ended up getting it learned, and I played my friends cello. We recorded it, and actually ended up playing it for our school alone the next day. All because we got bored and are too hyper to sit still.
Ally Elizabeth niccee!
Ally Elizabeth reasons to be productive
I fine this funny because I can't do this but I could see some friends of my doing it
Can I have ur contact... Really I wanna learn violin..
Respect, you wanted to do something so you just stayed with it. good job, keep it up! :D
I think musicians and artists live the most beautiful lives. They get to weave magic everyday.
@@ash.vez30000 you speak from experience i assume
@@ash.vez30000 do you draw/paint? Or are you a musician?
Haha...you haven't touched an instrument before haven't you?
@@plaguedoc7727haha haha the pain to learn one piece and if you have to start from the very first bar if u made a mistake haha haha creating magic is so hard 😊😊
no. its more like,they sent us a weave magic for us,even if their life not beautiful or just like u said,oh my god i really love musics but i dont study instruments hehe.. i think the instruments and music teacher so expensive (its bcs my family's economic too) i wish i could learn violin and (guitar i already start a bit) :D.musicians and artist they're so talented and cool ❤❤:)
I love how when those first five notes ring out, strong, bold, and clear, you know that’s when the magic starts and when a special relationship begins shining in the spotlight, it’s two sharers finding beautiful music to play together.
Sorry, my poetic side took over.
I like your insight...please don't apologize for showing your poetic side...the world needs more of people like you!
It sounded like the instruments were actually singing the song themselves. It was so beautiful!
I agree with you
💓💓💓
@@razialaskar1394 and I agree with you
I'm in love with the way they smile while playing, make me emotional
It sort of has a way of making you feel how passionate they were while performing this piece
I know!!!
Nothing but love in this video. It makes me happy
it's because it's their own gift/calling that they pursue in life .. such an absolute source of inspiration .. beyond measure, so much love goes to all of who they are
MY ENTIRE CLASS LITERALLY BURST INTO TEARS AFTER HEARING THIS. This is one of the few music pieces that are real. None of that electric rap 2018 nonsense.
Thank you so much! What do you teach?
ThePianoGuys Ooh! Haha I was in Music Composition Class. I guess it sounded like I was a teacher. It still made everyone very emotional though! Great work!
Oh, fantastic! My bad for assuming :P
Sophia Cho exactly
I love this video, but what makes it even more special is that Steven Sharp Nelson is playing with his wife. That must have been a really special experience for the two of them.
i cant stop listening to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best part: 2:20. Amazing harmony and I love their faces of pure joy to play together!!
I agree
I concur❤
The way Steve and his wife smile at each other is so pure and magical 🥰 So sweet
Before I knew Julie is steve's wife, I saw a very beautiful chemistry between steve and the woman. And when the song finished, I read the caption about who is this special guest. What a lovely couple, they both play their heart on fire like a newly weds couple.
They really captured the magic of the song with this rendition. Also, Steve and his wife make a lovely (and extremely talented) couple!
I knew it was Steve's wife as soon as they started playing together. That kind of harmony is love.
Something about the way Steven plays is just so enjoyable to watch, I can't think of any other cellist who has that expression when playing or inspires it in the people around him. Having seen him live a couple times I can definitely say he isn't just acting either and he really does elevate the mood in any room
Great version of a lovely song. The cello was lovely, but then the violin started..... WOW!
THANK YOU J Mac! This made my day! Keep listening ;-)
Feel the same!!!
Julie Nelson oh my gosh!!!!!! It's you!!!! So cool!!! Hi!!
This is probably one of my favorite Piano Guys Covers yet. I love the harmonization of the cello and violin toward the end! So cool!
You are Amazing. You got this 🙂
Y’all do an amazing job!
I love how Jon is completely in the shadows every time we see him as they keep the spotlight (literally and figuratively) on Steve and Julie - the stars of this song and performance!!
I've been listening to you guys for years and I can categorically say this is your BEST song yet.
Keep it up, PianoGuys!!! #willneverstoplistening
This is absolutely amazing. The way Steve and Julie performed this is second to none. Its like the violin and cello we’re talking to each other. Keep up the awesome job guys
YOUR JOY AND GIFT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL I HAVE EVER KNEW 🤩
You know what one of the things I love about watching you guys play? The look of rapture on your face. I see that you truly love music and playing beautiful pieces. I can't wait until you return to Seattle for another concert - I just discovered you guys and see you were here last year. :(
I loved Steven and his wife playing together. They should do that again!
I totally agree!! 🎶
Wow! With this fact it's became even more, much more beautiful! It's wonderful and tender.
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied
Still my favorite song from the movie!
💜
❣️
The girl playing the violin is so flawlesssssss
The girl playing the violin is the cello players wife.
She is so pretty too
Ya...
Ya!
Ikr
At my 4 year olds first dance recital today, this music was used for a toes dance. The most graceful beautiful thing, nearly had this grown man in tears. Fasntastic music y’all.
You are true magicians... You create a army of shivers on my arms. You make my heart beats faster. You make my breath deeper.
You make me feel alive.
Thank you for that.
Dr.Raylee Jones I agree with you
Same. This is epic.
I feel UA-cam should have a love button❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Precisely
Yep
True 👍
Not everyone believe that love is beautiful and if they do they get it mixed up with lust. I wish everyone believe in love so yes I agree maybe they should but you must also think about that you won't find love from a video the thing about love is that it's everywhere and that it's not in the voice or feeling of a person but in the action and persistence of not giving up on the other.
Yeah I agree too
I cried watching this......OMG SO beautiful! How lovely to watch two people in love share the same passion for music? My hope is to have a love like this where we can share our shared passion with the world. Thank you.
My husband and I walked down the aisle to this on July 28, 2018. As soon as we heard this cover we knew it was perfect for us! We’re grateful for you creating this masterpiece and sharing it with us! 😭😍♥️
Every time I intend to put this on to listen to in the background I end up watching, just to see your faces. The joy is so captivating.
You guys are the reason I got into classical music, I'm so thankful for that.
Awesome! Glad we could share that with you!
The passion that these 2 put into their music is unbelievable! Fast becoming my favorite music to turn to...
Places I got chills:
When the violin came in
When Steve was playing standing up (!!!)
The bridge
Who am I kidding, I got chills the entire time! Well done!
I find things like this so inspiring and uplifting. Not just because the music is well done, but because you can see everyone genuinely enjoying what they're doing. You can tell how much fun they're having by the looks on their faces.

I watched this movie very deeply and when I heard your song, I was just crying... Thank you for playing this song.
Hey guys, you were my inspiration to start playing the cello!! And now all these years later I am playing it at church on a weekly basis!
Sooo cool!
I’ve listened to this for about 5 years now, and I never knew this was from The Greatest Showman until now. I just always associated this with the piano guys
*NYALA ASA DI BALIK BATAS*
Di sudut kampus yang sunyi, langkah kaki berderap pelan,
Di bawah rintik hujan dan terik matahari yang membakar badan.
Mahasiswa itu berjalan, memikul beban bukan sekadar buku,
Tapi harapan keluarga, mimpi-mimpi yang tak boleh layu.
Saku mungkin tipis, dompet kadang kosong tak berisi,
Namun pikirannya penuh, melimpah dengan ambisi.
Di antara jam kuliah dan kerja paruh waktu yang melelahkan,
Ia tahu, tak ada mimpi yang tumbuh tanpa perjuangan.
Malam-malam panjang disulapnya jadi cahaya,
Belajar di bawah temaram lampu, ditemani doa dan asa.
Tangannya mungkin kasar memegang sapu atau alat las,
Namun di baliknya, ada tekad yang keras tak mudah lepas.
"Hidup ini keras," bisik angin di telinganya,
Tapi ia menjawab, "Aku lebih keras darinya."
Setiap langkah kecil adalah janji yang ditegakkan,
Bahwa takdir bisa diubah, asal mau bertahan.
Tak peduli seberapa berat beban di pundak,
Ia berjalan, meski tertatih, meski harus merangkak.
Karena ia percaya, di ujung lorong gelap dan panjang,
Ada cahaya kemenangan, hangat dan terang.
Mimpi bukan milik mereka yang berkelimpahan,
Bukan milik mereka yang bergelimang harta kekayaan
Tapi milik mereka yang berani melawan keterbatasan.
Jangan biarkan keadaan memadamkan bara di dada,
Sebab api semangat tak akan mati jika dijaga.
Dan kelak, saat toga bertengger di kepala,
Air mata jatuh bukan tanda lelah, tapi bahagia.
Karena ia tahu, setiap peluh dan luka di perjalanan,
Telah terbayar lunas oleh keberhasilan.
Inilah kisah tentang mimpi yang tak kenal menyerah,
Tentang langkah kecil yang menjelma jadi berkah
Semoga setiap perjuangan menjadi nyala yang menginspirasi,
Bahwa tak ada batas bagi mereka yang berani bermimpi.
Oh. My. Goodness. This song already makes me feel something special inside. I can’t even explain it. It is one of my favorite songs ever and is so beautiful. Now you have turned it into an amazing, harmonious instrumental song and I can’t put into words how it makes me feel.
An I just comment on the incredible lighting please?! I mean, the way u used reflections, silhouettes, the dark room and then the bright spotlight, I mean WOW. Amazing work guys!
Two words... Absolutely Beautiful.
I wish the dislike button was removed from the Piano Guys. What they do is absolutely ASTONISHING. Every time you guys upload a song, the synergy provided in it is breathtaking. Forever a fan of your work!
I saw these guys on an ad and I was immediately attached. You guys ROCK! This music and the way you put emotion into it makes me melt.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC!!! ❤️
I've been watching this a million times, and I'm yet to get tired of it
0:42 that was just *chefs Kiss* Perfection
I never stop being amazed by you guys. I must say your music is great enough to stand on its own even without the video. At the same time, your videos are so beautiful and artistic that they are great enough to stand on their own even without the music. The combination of the two is artistic genius of the finest level. Thank you for all the beauty you bring into this world. I am only one of countless fans who love you guys.
(I am a terminal cancer patient in Texas texting you this before it is too late for me to do so. Thank you for the joy your work has given me in this life.)
Chris Shirley i hope you'll get better soon..
@@ItzZomboyMC Thank you. I hope you have a long, happy and healthy life.
Chris Shirley your welcome and thank you too.. God Bless You 🙏🙏🙏
I felt every string of that violin strung my heart everytime I play and listen to this masterpiece chef kiss😘
I just heard this for the first time on Music Choice Soundscapes. It's so beautiful I cried. It drew me into the moment where I didn't want to do anything else but listen. I can't remember the last time I experienced a song like this. Thank you!
it seems everything they do is just GREAT! Always a joy to listen to this guys , creative and thoughtful and also funny...my wife's favorite group by far...
And you can just see the joy on their faces, that makes it a hundred times better.
I loved the violin and cello together - just like the two characters in the movie who “perform” together.
The Piano Guys always send shivers down my spine!
Me too!
Perfect performance (as always), Steve and Julie playing together was just the thing to drive home the message in the song. ❤️🎹🎼
I have seen this video one hundred times and cried every time. it is so wonderful......
I see that this was done in 2018 but I just have to say that I still love it TREMENDOUSLY! Glad it came back up!
This song is just magical.
So sweet thought this was beautiful when I first saw it and thought the loving looks were just to match the song (as genuine as they appeared) then I saw someone say that was his wife and it all made sense and became infinitely more lovely.
I discovered this song a week ago, I've been listening to the piano Guys for a long time... I went to check out an original song and this version is the best. I loved it so much
Oh my days when you 2 look at each other there's such pure love it's beautiful and tear inducing (in a good way)
This connects so much emotionally even without the lyrics. So beautiful.
You both look like the happiest of people. 💚
BonsaiBek yey I am from India bt my all friends loves this music
I felt a huge tsunami of love and chemistry between the "heroes" and wondered is that "love in the air" ... turns out the lady is Steven's Wife ^^ guys you are soooo lucky to have each other, may Allah/God bring the happiness and fulfillment you deserve
Whenever I want to listen to the instrumental of some song, I always search the piano guys first because they always make the absolute best versions
Beautiful sounds❤️ they are not just playing but also understanding well about each other. Best couple😍
This video ALWAYS brings a smile to my face.
Good Morning, what a Treasure it is to Wake Up and See A.. Lady Rewriting The Stars, Along Side Her Brothers! Beautiful Day Beloveds 🐞
actually just to let you know the man playing the cello and the women playing the violin are married
Who doesn't feel like flying when hearing these songs? Amazing...
Seeing them both together on stage is when the tears started to flow down my cheeks.
Congrats to you guys..wow ..this is a song that goes beyond the soul into the heart..when you love someone dearly..thank you
.
I can't explain what this piece does to me but it's like waves of overwhelming love (and tears) since the first time you uploaded it💕 Now I'll put this on replay..., again 😄
This song is gonna be the opening to my sisters wedding
It always amazes me how music completely transforms your emotions. Thank you so much for working tirelessly over so many years perfecting your craft to this extent. This was absolutely beautiful. Much love!
Love this. It's so much fun watching them play together and Julie is super talented as well. More of the two of you please.
Dave
the magic hands... freedom forever with music
You know that now you will need to take her on tour with you occasionally as this is stupendous! :)
Haha - if you can find me a babysitter I'm there!! ;-)
Well, I could find one for the Canandaigua, NY gig! I am bummed because I can't attend this year even though it is close to my home...have a U.S. Croquet Association tournament I am managing that week! Hope that they will repeat it at that locale another time! BTW, just loved this video...such joy and passion in the rendition. :)
This gave me toooooo many feels.
I'm so *overwhelmingly emotional* I have no words. This is the most *exceptional* instrumental I've ever heard💫💫
She is as perfect as Steve is! Perfect couple! ❤️
The most beautiful version of this song ever...

I can literally *hear* the words to this
Man, the Greatest Showman has SUCH AMAZING SONGSSSSS!!!!
My heart melted, fell apart, and then was put back together. That's it.
it's not in the cards
And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours

You think I don't wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why because we're able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all
No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart

We're bound to break and my hands are tied
this is the piece i'm dancing to for my ballet recital, and there's nothing else i'd rather be using :')
The 900 people who disliked don't know what to do because this... This is amazing
no amount of words can describe how beautiful these two are together
