    This song feels like how my soul felt after I lost my Grandfather. Down, but full of joy and blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life for almost 30 years. R.I.P. Willer A. Floyd

    Damn..so sad. Rest in love Avicii.
    Quick story about this video. It was a commercial for Google Business. First, my rendition had to get cleared by Avicii, & Aloe Blacc to make it happen. It was my first 5 figure check as an artist. I'll never forget. I was broke as hell starting over in life right after I had my first child. What a blessing it was. Forever changed my life. Avicii's music changed my life. Rest easy legend. You made your mark in a prolific way!

    Es sensacional, soy la mayor fan de Avicii y ver que alguien interprete una de sus canciones mas populares con tal pasión, ademas es impresionante como toca de perfecto el violín un instrumento tan especifico y conmovedor. Definitivamente quede atónita con tal cover. 1.000.000.000 de aplausos de mi parte para este dios del violín.

  • @Rubixmagic314
    @Rubixmagic314 8 років тому +1

    That's one of the reasons I play the violin. When you get into the music like he obviously did, everything goes away. It is the best kind of feeling anyone can ever feel. I love that feeling. Every little piece of stress, worries, problems, etc.... Just all go away. Now I want to play this😄 if anyone is curious whether they should play an instrument, you should. The feeling you get when you get into the piece makes all of the tireless hours of practice, broken equipment, and anything else completely worth it. It's the best "high" ever.

    • @ysr3452
