- We tend to forget that even though we are technically infinitely small in space, we hold meaning; and that there is more to the bigger picture than just quantities and relativism. Not everything can be measured like that, hence it is easy for us to feel immensely insignificant in the grand scheme of things. This song reminds us that we still exist despite the vastness of the universe; and that has to mean something. We have an impact, and we exist, we are meaningful, and we are here; that is the message I wanted to get across by performing it.
Iman believes that every person, no matter how insignificant they may think themselves in the grand scheme of things, has an impact on other lives and must recognize that they still exist despite the vastness and complexity of the universe. She believes that the arts are the only way to communicate things such as this; as they are doorways to truths that we cannot see with our own eyes but that are very much real.

I've always thought that if everybody listened to sleeping at last, the world would be a better place
sosokso There is no need to. No matter what happens, everything is gonna be alright; life is still beautiful.
Exactly
SAID IT
haha true
I agree with this so much
This kid has great musical taste. "An artist called Sleeping At Last... I don't know if any of you are familiar with him? No? Well, okay..." THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Someone tweet this to Ryan so he can see his music being performed.
ohifonlyx33 it is
ohifonlyx33 I know how that feels. I share his music w/ everyone.
Me on the daily. I love Sleeping At Last. His music got me through tough times
Did this ever get to Ryan?
I m sure Ryan Saw it.. im surprised this kid listen to him. and he really understood how magical Sleeping at last is
How rare and beautiful it truly is that this video exists
Blue Jade ❤
❤❤
That was great 10/10
you almost made me cry ohmygod
That was my grad cap quote :) made a galaxy background and framed it with gems
I sure hope Ryan sees this. Wonderful cover, and I totally feel the struggle of trying to talk about SAL to people who've never heard of him haha
MysticWolfMusic YES! More people should know about him and his beautiful existance
Ugh I know I get all excited and my friends are just like, "Wut?"
MysticWolfMusic he did it’s in is liked videos
I can never put into words how amazing SAL is, and I could never explain how I feel while I'm listening to it
bro I love ur channel I’m two years late to this comment but ur tøp mashups are f i r e
What a beautiful cover. More people should listen to Sleeping At Last, really!
Ikr
Agreed
I just discovered how rare and beautiful their music it is
I dont agree. But i did find him by myself.. "son" in a playlist while it was raining at like 2 am while doing homework. It was awsome!!!
I will platonically marry you kid. the struggle of people not understanding how amazing SAl is and how you explained the meaning of the song. *tears up* you're beautiful.

I kinda hope people don’t find them and kinda hope they do
I want no one else to know them so it could be my little secret
But then I want them to be successful
She is a girl
@@sandstorm6528 no. he is a boy.
@@sandstorm6528 so?... we got her coming to pride too!
Has Ryan seen this? He definitely needs to, it's amazing how music can touch so many lives.
for people who have been saying the struggle of people who don't know Sleeping at Last is, i always feel like Sleeping at Last is an artist that came into one's life when they needed them the most. His song "Saturn" somehow walked into my life when i was at my lowest and when I read the comments find out how many people are just like me. Somehow make me believe that some songs\artists like Saturn - Sleeping at Last are guided by a mythical force, somehow universe assigned these songs to people who needed them, Saturn is a gift that shows up when the time is right. this is how i feel about some songs in my life.
So true. I discovered Sleeping at Last at the perfect(worst) moment in my life. It has and stilll is helping to this day.
❤❤
This song is so pure and beautiful... It's such a shame not many people know about Sleeping At Last. His lyrics teach you things and take you on a journey. It's so rare to find an artists who crafts words and melodies as wonderful as his.
if I was in the audience and asked if anyone has ever heard of them I would also so loud xD
I’d give anything to hear
You say it one more time,
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes.♥♥♥
welcome to the club of few percent of people who really admire these types of songs.
I genuinely would be a different person today if I never discovered Sleeping At Last. Every single song he’s made has struck my soul in a way nothing else could have.
I've loved SAL ever since 3 yrs ago I think. There are 23 students in my class and I'm the only one who knows SAL. I know the struggle about talking underrated artist to people who listen to mainstream artists.
This gave me the chills
Chloe 120- This was amazing. Now watch one called" I still exist, rip Robin Williams".(same song) the Feels!!wow!
From a musical standpoint: this person did an amazing performance on the piano. There is supposed multiple instruments and she made all of them apparent at once. That’s just so cool. Yeah the voice could use work by being more musical with the notes if that makes sense, it just seems so cut off but I would be super nervous to perform in front of that many people so I think she did an awesome rendition.
He's a guy lol
Sometimes I wanna tell people to listen to Sal but I don't because I think that someone that needs to be told about him instead of finding him themselves doesn't deserve him.
allow me to prove you wrong. I found him through a best friend, and I don't want to know how long it would take me to come across Sleeping at Last by myself if it wasn't for her sharing it, and that's considering I love and listen to slow, sweet songs like his. If someone hasn't found him by themselves yet, they desperately need your help and they don't even know it! ;)
It's kinda funny how i told my friend. He told me about a very good deep song which I was not aware on by tame Impala and I sent him Saturn
alexis khuzwayo me too!! It sounds so selfish but i don't care
This is probably the most childish comment anyone will ever find on a SAL song.
I found them because of Grey’s anatomy kskskssks
First thought: ...WHAT?!
Followed by: WHAT!?! BECAUSE WHAT!?
This is the kind of cover that doesn't need to be held up next to the original because both can stand firmly on their own and as something so much more than "beautiful"
I've never seen anything more genuine, his/her personality just immediately had me focusing with them, their voice is so unique and s/he is beautiful, one look at him/her and i knew they are a gifted person, also i really like how s/he explained the song to people before beginning, as if to give them an insight on things, and it was explained beautifully:,) i really hope s/he goes somewhere with a talent like that
I agree
*they :)
Salwa Smilez lol no I'm pretty sure its correct :,)
@@potatoepotato1381 No it isn't correct *he
It is a boy who's singing in the video.
@@chaostheory_ oh, i didn't know we were talking about gender, my bad. i thought the previous comment was correcting my grammar lol. ill correct it now :)
Sleeping At Last has always been one of my favourite musicians ever… he is so talented and incredible.
lou Iman's a girl
i was talking about Ryan [Sleeping At Last]
lou oh ok sorry
truely astounding. thats how you bring people together and change something. How rare and beautiful. keep sharing your gift lil creator
Everyone in the audience was being ignorent when they were talking about SAL in the beginning...
hurts
One of the most beautiful Songs in the world.
They have a beautiful voice, but that audience was dead.
Edit: 3 years later I've grown up and learned my apologies
*They :)
Salwa Smilez
It doesn’t really matter mate
I had no use of they in that sentence dear.
Hanaku Neko they meant to use they instead of she
Me as an audience
You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist
I couldn't help but ask
For you to say it all again
I tried to write it down
But I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear
You say it one more time
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes
I couldn't help but ask
For you to say it all again
I tried to write it down
But I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear
You say it one more time
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes
With shortness of breath, I'll explain the infinite
How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist
Well sometimes I feel so bad that only few people on this planet knew about sleeping at last especially Ryan; he's the most humble and gentle man I have ever seen.
About a month ago I sent him a e-mail about my feelings and thanked him and he actually replied me and sent a really positive note!
Love you Ryan >3000
I love Sleeping at Last! So happy they chose this song
SAL is the cure for everything in my opinion.
man I love it when she sings this song
*they :)
Salwa Smilez can you stop commenting "they*"
Salwa Smilez she*
I love how you introduced the song
That song is so perfect
Alice Marie absolutely
Even the fly going around the kid's head says they are important :3
I feel like Regina Spektor would do an amazing job covering this song
oh geez that's me...yikes
Scout 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️this is so amazing scout
❤️
Scout You've just earned a new subscriber.
Scout Omg yes I was thinking it was you but nobody was talking about that on the comments so I thought maybe I was mistaking. Now I'm very happy
This is amazing 💛
He is a really good singer and his intro is really amazing. It truly touches the songs core meaning
"How light carrie on?"
The most beautiful part ever
carry

PERFEIÇÃO EM FORMA DE VÍDEO EXISTE E EU POSSO PROVAR

👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
SAL is amazing and sincerely heavily underrated!
I love how composed and confident and talented this guy is!
This song reminds me of an friend who past away this year at the age 21 and I couldn't make to her funeral because the trafic
Music makes the world a better place
UA-cam recommends this after 2 yrs. I didn't know that a cover song of SAL exists.
I always think about this video years later. It’s amazing.
Omg I hope Ryan sees this. This was absolutely beautiful and I love that so many people listen to and appreciate his amazing music.
I love sleeping at last🤗
Oh, my favourite song ever (listening for 2 years) 😍
Tears before she started singing..thank you for this
she is going to sound much more amazing when shell get a bit old and gets some maturity in her voice. Awesome performance❤
How am I in tears with the first lyric every time
I've always wondered if anyone in the world could love this song the way i do. i feel like this song is mine and live on it
The world would be a much better place, if kids would listen more to this kind of music 👍🏾
Sleeping at last is my favorite artist and it is just sad how people don't even know that he and his life changing music exists. Its clearly their loss.
This is so beautiful. I wish I could play piano like this. Makes me want to get out my old keyboard and start practicing again.
Sleeping at last it's a great , i'm sure of more people should enjoy their music and songs as beautiful as they are. ❤
Que lindo! Tem o mais importante para um grande talento, um grande coração.
Maravilhoso!!!!!!
Ryan would be so proud.
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist:))))
One of my favourite songs, beautifully covered well done😭❤️
I usually play my playlist in random, particularly whenever I am taking a bath, a nap, or even during workout sessions, but whenever this song plays, I skip it immediately. This song is so melancholic and beautiful for me at the same time. Cathartic. This really make me aware of how significant and insignificant I am, thus it makes me tear. I love this song, but I usually avoid this due to the sadness that I hear whenever this song is played.
Cuando descubri a sleeping ats the last fue un impacto ami corazo y alma es un bella simfonia y me hizo comprender que bella es la vida su voz es celestial yahora comprendo mas el amor
I have to say, I only watched this video because I saw that it was a performance of a Sleeping at Last song. When no one in the crowd reacted, I was kind of sad. Oh well, more for me.
It definitely touched a string in me, I started to tear up, what a beautiful performance! Sure it wasn’t perfect, but the heart & soul were definitely there + she must’ve been nervous performing for such a crowd and the sound mixing wasn’t all that great either. Still, I loved every bit of it!
Sleeping at last it's... just the best, his songs inspires me and I'm sure that all we can learn and feel identify with him. Great job
so beautiful
i didnt know that iman performed at a ted talk?!! i found his channel a few months ago and was fascinated with his covers and tunes!! im suprised he doesnt do more stuff like this now!
My favorite cover!!!!
Impressive, because I thought it was a girl, and then in the comment section I found out it was a boy hitting those high notes. So talented, and good at playing piano too.
Sleeping At Last is such a precious band, which somehow I want to keep a secret because it’s too good to share it..
