- This is my music video tribute to David Tolk's peaceful, contemplative instrumental music.
He granted me permission to use his music in the video that I created for use in my "Forgiveness" workshops. I thought it fitting to include a voiceless version so that everyone could enjoy his music alone while taking in some of the beautiful footage and photography.
Thank you, David, for letting me use your wonderful music.

This song is just beautiful. I was doing something when it came on my tv.....and I froze until the end. Just awesome.
This melody brings me to tears......not with pain, or dispair, no.....it's so lovely and beautiful......almost like- purging the soul of everything, and leaving only a softness and calmness in my spirit.......
this melody is so simple and perfect and beautiful
Me too. Such a beautiful melody. Being a pianist. I play with him 😔. Humble ❤️
Pilar Aguirre me too.
Yes 😔😊
Pilar. You have a beautiful way of saying it ❤️. Agrees
Thanks for making this...I just posted this in facebook and thought I would share.
None of us know what happens when we die. We can assume, we can believe by faith, we can take other peoples word for it who claim they have seen the other side and returned...but none of us really know until the day we stop breathing and our bodies stop. We either find out or we fade without knowledge of anything.
I was sitting around relaxing with a cup of tea and I was thinking about and missing my brother Blaine who passed away a short time ago. We used to talk for hours about everything and anything. Existence, religions, space and time, not days or nights or sunsets or sunrises...just a planet rotating in this vast universe casting shadows. Who we are and how destructive of animals we can be and how loving of creatures we can be. I miss those talks. About 5 years ago he emailed me an mp3 of this most beautiful instrumental and he said when he heard this song for the first time it reminded him of our talks and the time we spent sharing our ventures into our minds. Somehow I misplaced the mp3 through new computers and formatting. My gut tells me I left it in a folder that I deleted before double checking it to see if there was anything else I wanted out of it. Anyway...as I am sitting her thinking about him and remembering all the good things... the song starts to play on Pandora on a New Age Ambient channel I made. My heart dropped. I've never heard it on Pandora before. I've never heard it anywhere other than the mp3 that he sent me. The emotional me wants to think it was him somewhere saying "here ya go brother...I'm still around". The other side of me sees it just as a coincidence. Either way, it absolutely felt like it was supposed to happen no matter what it was. As I go to youtube and look up the song, I find this video tribute that was made by a fan. In the pictures displayed it shows an overlooking cliff view of a forest that resembles the area where I left his ashes. The place he wanted to be. I do miss my brother very much.
mykylc I realize this is an old thread. But I am very sorry for your loss. I have lost very dear loved ones like this and getting used to their absence in all the every day things we sometimes take for granted is so heartwrenching at times. Just want you to know - you are not alone in your grieving. Keep remembering the good times with him. He has not left you...
***** Thanks for your kind words Monna.
Sorry for your loss man, I hope you learning to work through it :)
+Efrain Mercado I did...but you never forget. though I think of him often your post emailed me and now as I listen again...he is around once again in my mind. thanks!
One love.
TODAY 3/23/2023 would have been my beloved little brother Alexander's 55 th birthday. I MISS him so very much. Can't BELIEVE 10 years has gone by so fast! ):
Portrait of a Brother
I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you and together we will
search for answers.
I cannot change your past with all your heartache
nor the future with it's untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling. Your heart from breaking.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
I can share your sorrows with a hug, a hand, a kiss and a whisper.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor are they to judge
I can only support you, encourage you, love you
and help you when you ask.
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you with open arms.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself, my beloved little brother.
I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you as a brother should
with love, laughter, dignity and grace.
You were a light in my soul Alexander.
Your heart was filled with kindness and generosity
Your laughter was warm.
Your spirit, radiant.
A brother is a friend God gave you.
A brother is a friend given by nature.
There's no other love like the love for a brother.
There's no other love like the love from a brother.
God's call has returned you to home
You are no longer tortured in your mind, your body and your soul.
No more suffering for it has been replaced with divined serenity.
I will always love you.
The trumpets and drums are playing,
You are now at peace with the angels.
They hear you sing, I Surrender to you O' Lord.
Your spirit shall live in my heart
and soul, for you Alexander will always be my little brother 4ever.
Rock on!������ your brother 4 LIFE
Love & Light,
Christopher
beautiful
And this is why I have a Pandora subscription ❤️
I was reading a book while this song came on Pandora. I started crying without realizing it. Other than Thomas Newman songs, no other songs can make me cry like this one. I feel so lucky Pandora actually exists and I found this song. Why isn't this song more popular?
i felt the same way when i heard this song also on pandora. i wrote my reflective essay on changes in my life for a college class to this music. it helped my contemplation and it helped me focus on the positiveness of my life.
Amber Evans Oh, that would be the perfect time to listen to this song. I just graduated, so no more essays for me. Maybe I should listen to this song during the random times I write in my journal. I really loved listening to Tycho and Blackmill when I was studying. Tycho and Blackmill definitely helped me get good grades, you might like their music too. Make sure to get internships while you are in college and good luck with your studies :)
It has that same effect on me.
jeteaze. The same exact thing happened to me today. I was reading a book and this song came on Pandora, I started crying and had to listen a second time. 💜
I hear you man! FYI, I don't know if you realize that one of the greatest new age composers of our time replied to your comment here (Steven Cravis!) - If I were to choose one of his tunes as an initiation, check out his, "Children of Beslan" and let me know what you think :-)
FYI, I purchased this tune (In Reverence) on iTunes and can strongly recommend buyin' the high-quality file of this piece - just spectacular!
Both this song and Life and Death by Paul Cardall are the pieces that make me honestly realize how easy it is to be found in new light, even after walking the darkest road. Yes, we know that no one is perfect, but what needs to be understood is that perfection is achieved only by those selfless enough to see it in others.
If there's anything else to say, it's this; Do not lose the sweetest moments by anticipating their end.
I couldn't agree more.
>Do not lose the sweetest moments by anticipating their end.
Aight, don't forget about the bitter, cold and lonely one's either, bask in the sorrows of life, they make the end seem so much sweeter.
This song brings me into the presence of God! It is so beautiful and peaceful!
As your consciousness slowly fades, you'll have all the time in world to reminisce...
I first heard this when I was walking Pine Mountain Trail in Pine Mountain/Warm Springs, GA and I was on part of the trail that you could see one hill side while walking (hiking) the other side. I had Pandora on, and this came on and I just stopped, sat down, pulled my phone out of my back pack and burned the name of this into my mind and then I discovered the CD "Grace". And I was blown away. I have a new friend in my life who is literally deaf but has some hearing and the slide presentation is equally beautiful and whatever my friend can hear, it is this song. I mean no disrespect to those of you who are deaf, but for those of us do hear; this piece of music speaks to my faith in God.
God bless you ..
I like this song too but it's too bad it's composed by a Mormon..
This is about the most beautiful thing I have ever heard... wow....
I play this song to help me fall asleep. This is the song I want to play as I walk down the aisle when I get married and the song that is played at my memorial service. I absolutely love this song. I start to get very emotional when this song comes on. It's so beautiful.
always makes me think if this was my last day on this Earth...and LOVE...a truly sacred song
Every song has a soul, I believe this ones soul has captured me permanently.
beautiful song this is real music not rap not pop not rock not blues this is real not saying the others aren't music but this is music at its finest
I know this song from a movie but I can't recall what movie it was... If any of you know can you please tell me because it's bothering me that I can't remember.
It is from the movie of life.
Oil for the mind.
I'll never get tired of music like this even if they do "sound alike."
To me, it's just a reminder that Music is the language I speak - I was born into it, growing up with it, and I shall die with it.
this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. Incredible video too, John C. Catlin!
Thank you, Steven! I deeply appreciate it. (And yes, I don't look at comments very often.) I have just become acquainted with your music and love it. I'd like to get in touch with you.

Totally agree! I think as part of a regular therapy, I need to listen to this piece about once every week or 2 (at least:-)! Your music, Steven, is always should be, for anyone, a part of any good healing protocol :-)
This song stirs such deep feelings in me. I tear up when I hear it. It takes me to a different realm.
Simply wonderful...thank you for sharing~
I wish the entire world was as peaceful and soothing as this music and video is. Absolutely fantastic peace of music.
We could have been great. Dont worry champe we will get them next planet. I love you all
I can't imagine why anyone would put a thumbs down. That doesn't make any sense to me.
ChacieWhat some people hate beauty.
to Dharma---same thing happened to me when I first heard this song on Pandora and I was hooked. I still tear up! And are you familiar with Paul Cardall? Listen to Life and Death....beautiful music.
This is so beautiful.
I found this through Pandora, too. There is no other word but "beautiful" for this music by David Tolk.
Final hours until a new year. Oh how this song pulls us out of time into God's timelessness. It does do much more than words can ever do to bring us into eternal presence.
I've heard this in a show or movie and it's driving me crazy that I can't remember!! If anyone knows where this has played if you could please share it with me :)
+Meg L. Hey. This song was used in this video: www.lds.org/youth/video/lift-us-up?lang=eng
+Meg L. Sounds a lot like Thomas Newman. Maybe that's it.
I think it was used in Finding Nemo when his dad finds Nemo as a little fish.
@@oliviaagnesa.7141 sorry, I think it was a different tune to this. I love that movie though especially dory and the Nemo's schoolfriend fish who goes I'm obnoxious and the other one who's like I'm h20 intolerant aaachoo😄
gracias mas bien me hizo llorar le gustaban a mi flaco
HOLA DANIEL
I start my day every day with this piece as soon as i wake up. It is the most moving piece of music I have ever heard in my life. It dissolves my cares and worries and heaviness as I prepare in the mornings for the new day. Thank you David ....
I love this song and many other song by David Tolk, this song makes me feel so relaxed and peaceful. This song also fills me with hope, it is so beautiful.
I will NEVER get sick of hearing this song!!
I found this song through CHUCK and it reminds me of a woman I fell in love with 2 and a half years ago
May I use this video and music to demonstrate reverence to a group of people?
Yes, Hector, you may. Please be sure to mention David Tolk as the composer. He gave me permission to use his beautiful music.
My mom...I think of my mom, may she rest in reverence.
We played this at my mama’s memorial three weeks ago today. She was amazing and I miss her more than words can say. This song represents what my heart feels. Reverence for a Godly, beautiful person.
the stillness of GOD....the peace of JESUS...the work of HIS SPIRIT.....The LORD Stretched HIMSELF to make the heavens and the earth....and HE stretched HIMSELF on the Cross to save us......We shall bow in reverence unto the LORD JESUS CHRIST
Thank you, that was beautiful :)
This makes me think of an old school baptist church of my young years with that one old piano. This song feels and sounds like an old hymn.
This makes me miss my girlfriend :'( I miss her so much
Thank you, Pandora
found this on Pandora as well! Fell in love at the first notes :-)
asianinky found this on Pandora too. Beautiful melody.
A wonderful song it makes me cry a loveful song after a time I could hear the song even if it was not playing it was beautiful 💙💜💚💛💓❤️💕💗😙😙😘😍😊☺️😌😻🐶
Perfect music selection! The visual representations are beautiful! Thank you for introducing David to your viewers. He's brilliant! Your video is well done! 🙏❤
Beautiful song
An extremely beautiful, yet haunting melody...
I think judging and negating pop music that people may love is just as bad as judging and negating music like this that others may love. don't be a hypocrite
This song just makes me melt. So relaxing! If you'd like to check out a music therapist's thoughts on this song and many other greats, please visit my Therapy Music Blog at www.pianopeacemt.com/1/post/2014/02/in-reverence.html
This is so calming and warm, I feel like crying every time I hear it.
Actually, it is not. Sorry to disappoint. I've researched all credits to David Tolk and this piece, and none exist outside of some compilations. (I've really looked, believe me!) Besides, I watched "October Sky" last night, and the music wasn't close to this piece. Besides the great 50s songs, the score was written by Mark Isham of Windham Hill fame.
QuestioVerum2010 David Tolk didn't write this?
When I listen to this I close my eyes, and remember this past summer. I remember all the good decisions I made, and regret nothing. How everyday was another day to look forward to. Then I realize how boring my life is now, and how I've lost one of the biggest things that made the summer so memorable. Then there is a manly tear. And life goes on.
Isn't this in the Little Women movie with Winona Ryder...the scene where Hannah is putting flower petals all over Beth's things after she dies????
I added this to a compilation to some HD video I shot in Israel at Engedi. Engedi is where David his from Saul in 1st Samuel and represents a place of refreshment and beauty. Search for Engedi and Joe McClary and you'll see it. it turned out so awesome.
I love this song. First time hearing it was on Pandora. I bought the CD "In Reverence" but the title song is a different version than this, and this arrangement does not appear anywhere on the CD. Has anyone else experienced this?
maybe this can help comfort, after words and actions that shouldn't have been?? and one of 2 has changed their mind about the other being their "best friend" if only we could do it all over again....
Living, dying, death, resurrection* happy reunion , since 1 wanted to die...that is a wonderful direction to go in; to think about others and what we can do for others.....
Only piece of music NOT from a movie that has moved me to tears...so beautiful and perfect I cannot even begin to describe the emotions it produces
CHUCK :) :)
I am almost 100 percent sure it played in 'we are Marshall', the movie about the football team that died in a plane crash, but I may be wrong.
Beautiful! ♥ Thank you for sharing this! :D
I used to enjoy this waking up each morning on my mission. Thank you!
" I have a passion for music " yet you sing about Last Friday Night " Music is my life " yet you sing a song about 'baby'. You can only be truly passionate for music when you can make a song that doesnt need lyrics to describe you. When your life is only music, the sounds you hear, the art you see, and the world before you can only be describe with the sound of your paino, cello or instrument you treasure.
Yes he is. He has a Christmas album and Allmusic.com lists him in a few different Christian categories. He is not only a musician, but is also a lawyer.
See for more info look him up on allmusic (surround that with the usual to create a link)
His official website is davidtolk. (surround that with the usual to create a link)

This song usually makes me feel calm but right now it's making me feel forlorn at the loss of my best friend
this moves me so much I cry and I pray with this song playing but not sadness just recalling great memories this and secret garden
This song stirs up endless emotion... I envision the lives of people I've never met, their trials and tribulations, their happiness, their despair... It makes me realize that the world does indeed turn, life goes on for most, and for some it comes to an end... It is in these feelings that I realize with certainty that we only have one life to live, one moment after another... So please, cherish each and every moment you have... Experience everything you can... And do so with kindness and compassion, for each other, and all living things on this, our only earth... There really is no reason not to...
No lol it sounds like nemo egg, from finding nemo a Disney pixar movie. I'm pretty sure that's the movie you are talking about. Cause it sounds very similar.
I can hear lyrics in my head...but I'm not sure what the words are...its like a song I know but dont...oh goodness, I'm becoming one of THOSE people on youtube...
same here, I was doing something around the house and this came on and it stoped me. I had to just listen to the end. Pure beauty.
Does anyone know which movie this song was in. Or Tv show. Someone sampled it for something and I have literally been looking for it for YEARS.
I can just see you now, laying in a hospital bed with a relative sitting by with their hand on the button, and having many false alarms.
This reminds me of one of the ending scenes in the movie "October Sky" - beautiful piece.
+Beth Ramsay Yeah it would be great movie music.
for some reason.....this reminds me of when i first joined roblox, everyone was kind back then but now everyone's mean and full of hatred and bullies are joining...
i miss Old Roblox
That's right!!! I knew this song sounded familiar!
Happy Veteran's Day and hopefully Peace, Love, Blessing's and Gratitude will be with everyone this blessed day as we acknowledge those who have given so very much to all of us for our Freedom. Including my relative's and loved ones that have given so very much to our family. My grandson has his Birthday today too. I am so thankful for this beautiful music today. Thank you kindly. Wendy
What a testament to the creative power of God. How anyone can think all this is the result of an explosion of gases baffles me. The music is so perfect. Thank you, QuestioVerum2010 and David Tolk. Just beautiful!
This song reminds me of another one that has a female voice singing and I cannot quite place it. At 1:20ish in the video I feel like someone should start singing "and IIIIIEEEIIIEIEI" in a beautiful voice. Does anyone else know the song I am thinking of because this is driving me nuts.
Dylan Granholm now we are free -lisa gerrard
Trying to add this awesome song to my playlist on here. Why won't it let me add it?
Literally, as I listened to this song, a rainbow formed outside
Extraordinary! Stirs many deep thoughts.
I love your message... It paints a good picture. And your profile picture absolutely fits the song. xD
Sacramental oil and inscense for the mind. This song anoints my soul.
Every bright day, every hope, every moment living without you sounds like this....so many days we could have been wrapped in love, but life doesn't work that way. I will always remember is in bed, and the quiet love whenever I hear this.
Pandora showed me this beautiful song. Thank you!
Well LOST's soundtrack is in the related suggested sections. Paul Cardall's Life and Death
...is this music in a particular Hz, or frequency, like 432Hz?
It is *~ PURE MAGIC ~*
So beautiful. I went to David Tolk's Facebook page and liked it. He seems like a really cool dude and a family man as well. Looks like we share the same faith, too. Well done, sir. Thank you for the music.
Perhaps for you. Believe it or not, people may see things differently than you do.
Helps to calm a troubled mind... in these VERY troubled times.
my son James is so full of life and love and our music tastes are so similar. It is a gift that he can feel my emotions, the ups and downs and to be able to touch our hearts together even when far apart. thank you hammer, mom
another great tape is Christoforis dream by David Lanz
Yeah, kind of sounds to Road to Perdition.. but it might just the coincidence.
I read the Book of Mormon to this - introduced by the audio version on UA-cam.
ME EITHER. I've been trying for literally years after it popped up on pandora.
man screw that I wanna hear Rebecca Black's "Friday"
A glass of wine, this song and my beautiful wife with me.....life is good.
David Tolk's music are as inspiring as any hymns I ever sang. It seems to me he is creating 'unsung' hymns that are asking for words to match the emotion.
Seriously, though. Full screen, 1080p. You're welcome. It's mind-blowing.
Thank you so much for this. I created a youtube relaxing music list which I can see on my "smart tv." This is a true treasure.
i swear i've heard this damn song in a movie, but i can't remember which
I feel like I've heard this in a movie but I can't remember which one...
This will be the song my partner and I will play on our wedding day 💑 💍
