Dear UA-cam, please give us a ‘This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen’ button.
M. Hans Liebert, et al. I totally agree. Just plain Like or Dislike just don't cut it sometimes.
Oh my my my Yes!!!!❣️😍
She almost left but the music made her stay. Sometimes she was slowly dancing. How beautiful!!
Haha cute

"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."
Yes!
Goes for women as well.
This is a fantastic saying
Where is this quote from
M C , the only other time ive seen it was on the wall in a classroom at a Christian school.
Imagine if you could go back in time and tell Bach that one day, hundreds of years after him, his music would be lull an elephant far away in another land.
Beautiful.
...lull an elephant far away in another land, on UA-cam where another man's dog would listen too.
Played on an instrument that Johan never had. Harpsichord and organ have no variation of tonal depth. There is no touch tone that Piano- Forte gives.
All I see when watching is the love of God and compassionate caring between two of his creatures. Thank you sir! 🙏🥰🙏
@@mikemccormick9667 totally, it's beautiful, we're so lucky to have this experience on earth!
@@simonesilveira9759 Amen!
I just want to thank this man for all he does for these abused elephants. You are a rare breed, especially nowadays. This was so lovely to watch. She loved the music, that’s quite obvious. Her swaying almost seemed like a dance. Beautiful
The range of human kindness never ceases to amaze me. We see the Worst behavior on the news each morning. We need to see more of this.
This comment!
jam 68 good point mate 😢
@@moran68 she is swaying to the music and could clearly walk away if she wanted to. She cant see, so sound is her entire world. She clearly enjoys this
@@moran68 its scientifically proven that elephants are self aware and experience emotions similar to humans and if you know anything about elephant body language you would know that she is enjoying herself.
@@moran68 National Geographic published an atricle on it and its the first thing that comes up when you google elephant emotion. ua-cam.com/video/hjsu3SGAdLs/v-deo.html Heres a vid proving my point but Instead of asking me, someone who you clearly don't find creditable, why dont you do your own research.
This dude has a piano out in the middle of nowhere just to entertain elephants. What a blessing they are to each other 😍
His performance is nothing short of Angelic.
Pianos are heavy. This is a damn miracle.
No. Need for an.Ampatheater. Thats quite loud out in the bush.
He is in Thailand
This is probably at an Elephant resort in Thailand
I love how she dances! Something so wholesome about her swaying from side to side. What a beautiful lady she is!
Vibing
You can easily know a man's heart by how he treats Animals
I wonder if the elephants talk about a mysterious small creature that lures them to the clearing in a forest and surrounds them with magical music that heals the soul.
cute comment!💜🐘 🧙♂️
this comment brought tears to my eyes. thank you.
read The White Bone.
They call them ( us) the two-leggers, if I remember correctly. Elephants are some of the most conscious and kind creatures on the planet, even more than some humans. Whales too.
This comment wins the internet on this day for me!!!’
@Truth Willout BRAVO for your getting help and if the meds work, wonderful . I too suffer from depression but I have 10 old dogs to care for and I tried the meds, got off of them, and when I get depressed I have a wonder SW to talk with, email etc but believe it or not it is these and other wonderful videos on UA-cam and of course my dogs know when i am down and they can bring me out. Depression esp. with this pandemic has been an eye opener for all of us, and we must ensure we support one another to help us get through each hour of the day. My best wishes to you and all. God Bless and keep you safe and well. PAX+
The elephant to her grandchildren: "I remember the most beautiful day..."
Dr. Dawlin Ureña they say an elephant never forgets
"when i listened something extraordinary! "
So sweet
Lol why did your comment remind me of the Titanic movie when the old lady was starting to tell the story lol
That is such a beautiful response
Here are the names of the pieces:
0:25 Bach - Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 846 (Prelude only)
2:40 Bach - The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (Aria)
4:08 Schubert - Ständchen, D 889
Thank you for your contribution. Was looking for this information.
Thnx
I was looking for this comment 👍🙏 thanks
The last is Schubert D957 n4.
Thank you as well, was hoping to find this in the comments
The view of man and the blind elephant walking side by side after enjoying classical music. This man's heart is as wonderful as the music he plays.
The way the elephant 🐘 sways back and forth is just beautiful
Strange but Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder both were blind and both played the piano and swayed. 🤔
Strange but Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder where both blind and both played the piano and swayed. 🤔
is this an action of a(n) happy 'phant??? any 'phant trainers out there to confirm this???
And the birds seem to enjoy too
A’Real Trucker.
Yes sir really its dancing .. elephants do that when they are happy
I can only imagine for a blind animal that only hears sounds of nature, this must have been an amazing new sensation. Thank you for playing music for this creature. May he be born with eye sight in his next life. 💙
*She and yes i hope so too she deserves it:)
@forskolin1 Let me fix that for you @forskin: there is no god and no heaven, only another life. Your religion is so naively ignorant. Kisses.
@@YouGotPropofol maybe there's just nothing, and we've gotta live our life to the fullest
Salterry I know we live over and over; have proved it to myself long ago. Doesn’t matter; you’re right. We should live fully *always.* 💚
@forskolin1 Hey, you two, can you stop arguin about religion? This is a beatiful video showing kindness and peace, there's no need to start an argument about something so personal like religion
Beautiful...she pays so much attention to the music you can tell she's enthralled by it, and the swaying is almost like she's gently dancing. It makes me so happy to see animals happy and at peace like this beautiful elephant.
A beautiful display of empathy and kindness. Extraordinary!
I love how she sways to the music 😭
Just like Stevie Wonder innit
I find it especially interesting that all the elephants listen (feel the vibrations) through the plants.
@@heiz__393 I cant breathe 😂😂😂
Jelle 1254 just like Stevie she’s actually blind just like him
It’s So moving 😢❤️
The swaying back and forth is almost as if the elephant is dancing to the music. Love it.
Dora Giles yup but that’s not always the case. Some elephants, like those in zoos, it’s a way to cope with stress and captivity
Kind of like Stevie Wonder does at the piano.
@@mrpie2429 Yes, but stress-induced swaying is much more frantic, in this case it was slow and gentle so the elephant was happy and content.
@@GwenArlene8181 Yes!
I knew someone else would mention the dancing! 🐘
What an intelligent and empathetic man, playing for intelligent and empathetic elephants.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Heart-warming.
Thank you, Paul. 👌🏼👍🏻🙏
Totally ❤️🌸
Her obvious trust in him and enjoyment of the music he played for her touched my heart! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
now this is the UA-cam content I want
S A D - E G G me too!
So no more Logan and Jake Paul?
S A D - E G G this is a lovely UA-cam recommendation
Not enough stuff like this about.
S A D - E G G brilliant
I’m a 61 yr old, partially blind person who was completely blind for 2 yrs. This has touched my soul. Thank you, Paul, for being so amazingly kind to this beautiful elephant. I love how she reacts. God bless.
Luke Bourne to be an asshole!
@Luke Bourne There is a thing called voice assistant that you can probably find in your own device and it basically tells blind people what they are doing in their device's screen . A little search on google and you will find a lot of answers to your question my friend
@Luke Bourne in a world with information at one's fingertips, it pays to do some research before asking a question that can be deemed as offensive and ignorant. Work around some people with disabilities and you'll understand how you came across.
@Luke Bourne it's not about people being snowflakes, its about being inconsiderate. There is a difference. Please learn to be more considerate of others on first meetings because we don't know what others may have gone through in their lives.
@@Cugastratos its not like she will see the comment 😉
Music transcends all barriers. This is proof!
Her reaction when you start playing is so endearing. This really makes you realise we are all of one stock.
And anything with a brain able to recognise patterns can feel something in music. No doubt her experience differs immensely from ours, but there is definitively something going on. What a find.
This was lovely. I loved how she would sway back and forth like she was dancing. What a beautiful animal. Elephants are truly incredible creatures.
foxyc0ntin wasn’t that wonderful?! I loved the swaying! ❤️
I did a project on zoos and I'm pretty sure elephants sway when they are bored or nervous... it's cute I guess? Not when you think about the reasoning behind it.
They might sway for different reasons?
@O K You had me look it up. A lot of website seems to be indeed confirming what you are saying but none quote sources for research or anything. A lot of them are just blog post, mostly copied of of each other. I do not say that it is not true, as it is quite possible, but I'd love it if you could actually provide a link to elephant behaviour studies, to confirm that :) I want to make sure before I can repeat the information. (I haven't done a lot of research, just the few first google result pages).
@@Uveryahi My research wasn't predominantly on elephants just abnormal behavior in zoo animals, I just saw quite a few places talk about the swaying. I'm not 100% on it but the video just gives me a weird vibe because elephants have (obviously) much different ears than we do and this music would not sound the same or as good through elephant ears.
Life can be so tragic yet there is still beauty and kindness.
Its the balance of it all. For every tragedy that exists also lives kindness and joy.
Lam Duan is so intently listening... unlike the sighted , her ears remain still , focused . Lovely .
She's blind can sense more.
What a beautiful thing you are doing. I can only imagine the love flowing through you and the elephants you play to. These moments are how God intended us to live. ✝️❤️🔥🛐
I feel Bach must be smiling at this man and the elephant. And so is Schubert.
True. A true use of their music
I would like nothing more than to see them respond to knowing their music is being employed in this manner so many centuries after their deaths
@@chavesa5 i think they knew when they made it, that it was for the sake of the future as well.
That's how true scientists etc work for so little money. They know what they're doing matters for everyone
I can't think of a better way to spend the rest of my life then to bring joy to any animal, this is so beautiful. thank you for your kindness.
So bring joy to humans aswell, we are animals too.
A better one would be to bring joy to a human.
We need it more then they do, we are depressing and hate one another and evil is in our hearts.
@@michaell4527 all the more to bring kindness to animals
@@annastarr2043 l no
The way she reacts to Bach's music is truly amazing and the pianist is playing pretty well too. Joyful!
Hi, everybody. Who of you have cried, but not of sadness or despair ... cried because you experienced something awesome?
I just did. I have seldom been this deeply touched!!💝
Is the elephant dancing?
She is dancing, oh my god, she really looks like it.
I want to cry watching this, it is so beautiful. Gives me a little hope back for the world.
Same so beautiful
UA-cam: do you want to cry?
Me: sure why not
🖤🖤🖤
Yeah same
LOL I thanked him for the many tears! lol.
Yes im heartbroken. I cud not stop my tears.
Getting close, so heart rendering.
Bach and other composers of this era brought something universal to this earth and the elephant understands that. I could cry! Elephants are such beautiful magical animals!
As my life is slowly coming to an end, this puts a smile on my face.
This makes me happy to know that there is goodness in this world.
It's like she's dancing. That huge brain, and giant ears... Makes you wonder how much more she understands than us.
That's what I thought too,so beautiful 💜
I love your comment , caught me off guard I’m way too hiii
i t s g a y s t a t i o n that way I can hear his beautiful rendition of Bach for a gorgeous creature in 4D ... u mad?
technically, their brain are smaller than ours....hmm but yeah, they're very smart
She stopped to really listen. What a beautiful soul
He dances.
Tears for the compassion of this beautiful man for this beautiful creature.
This makes me want to sell all my worldly belongings and move to Thailand to pet elephants for the rest of my life.
and, did you do it?
update please
maybe he did it. I hope he did
@@trstquint7114 I quit my high paying tech job, have gotten rid of most everything and plan to rent my home to live a smaller life. I haven't decided yet if it's Thailand or not...but it's definitely not Austin TX anymore. I'll update if I'm on my way to the sanctuary!
@@soniat1309 how are u now?
That is so moving. A 73 year old insular man and I shed a tear.
Metoo (sorry 😉)! A 70 years old lone Swedish woman Burst into tears as well!
@@TheMorbia And me, sitting here in tears, how can anyone harm or kill these beautiful creatures !
Angela❣️ 🤔👍🐘🐘👍🤔❣️
Kindness and love.
Colin Cochrane As do we all Colin. Extremely moving. Elephants have complex emotions, compassion, empathy, and are super intelligent. These gentle giants still seem to forgive humans for the abuse and mass slaughter we cause them. Truly remarkable mammals.
there is still hope for humanity, with people like this.
YUKI INU of course there is :)
You nailed it.
Greetings from Germany.
we hope and keep our fingers crossed Yuki. Otherwise we all need to be at the mercy of mother nature .. beautiful clip .. they are others where he plays to other elephants who enjoy and partake ..
and for elephanity
And then you have Donny trump jr. Take away that hope just for the fun of it.:(
I wonder if she hears better out of her left ear. What a precious creature. She loves the Bach Prelude! Its so sweet how she sways back and forth. Thank you for bringing joy and healing to her. She really loves the Schubert Serenade. Thank you.
I love when she sways with the music. Precious.
Knowing she's blind and reacting to these sounds for the first time..... it's amazing......she moves away when it sounds dark...but moves closer when it's comforting....this is incredible...
Wow, UA-cam recommendations finally did something right.
++
You are a good man. What a heart.
What a wonderful man , so glad people like this exist ...
Beautiful 🤗
I've been mesmerizing elephants since the 17 hundreds.
Spelling wasn't my strongest suite.
Johann Sebastian Bach lol
1700 hundreds?
RIP in peace
you don't look a day over 368
lmao
She dances beautifully.
She loves it - switching hearing from one ear to the next and swaying.
"What you have done to one of the least of these, you have done unto Me."
Amen
How true.
Said Jesus.
Super Amen.No interruptions just glorious música. Miss Maestro Pavarotti too.
“Where words leave off, music begins.” ― Heinrich Heine
This is like playing the piano for somebody's old blind grandmother. Its her last and only enjoyment before she passes. Thanks for giving her enjoyment.
What a sweet girl. I am crying, and came here because I was crying. I know she is a feeling, deeply intelligent old soul who understands what she is hearing. I wish I could be there with you, Tree With Yellow Flowers, because you are a big beautiful flower.
I love going back and watching these videos, it makes me cry at how dedicated he is to bring her some happiness ❤️
She sways to the music....it's gotten into her Soul.... God bless!
I’ve just watched non stop for two hours, reporting on the pandemic. When she started swaying, I started crying. You tube, you came good in the end. I’m done for the night. Thank you, Paul Barton, for this upload. I’m so pleased to have stumbled into your channel.
Try turning the news off a few days a week. Unfortunately since the news is like every other show, it's a business dependent on ratings. Click-bait, fear and anger is what sells. They have no incentive to report life as it really is and the beautiful stories that arise everyday.
Agree, stay away from the news. Keeping stress and anxiety to a minimum is important for your health, and knowing the numbers will not help you with that, nor will they help you protect yourself.
Get eight hours of sleep a night, studies suggest the immune system is more responsive with consistent eight hours rest.
😂 tears of joy!! ✌🙏🖖
Me too. I have been watching all afternoon. God created all people and creatures to be loved.
Since I happened upon these videos of Paul Barton playing beautiful music for elephants, I try to end my day by listening to several of them each night. I'm sure that they help me to have a better night's sleep. It's so hard to stop listening and go to bed.
If there is a heaven, this man belongs there.
These gentle souls. Just imagine how he could annihilate that piano but is so calm and loving. He knows the gentleman is there for good❤
It is 2:30am and here I am in bed crying over videos of a guy playing beautiful music to elephants :) Lam really liked that last piece!
This blind elephant appreciates music more than some people do. That was fascinating to watch.
Bryn Shortland I was just basing it off the fact that the elephant was standing still the whole time, as if it was actually captured by the sound of the piano. Of course, I might be completely wrong and maybe it just didn't feel like moving, but that's just the way I interpreted it.
I'm more of a logical thinker than an emotional one too though, so I do get your point.
Bryn Shortland Oh yeah, they're awesome.
People like you make me believe that humanity is dead...ELEPHANTS DO NOT LIKE MUSIC...
Emre S. This animal doesn't even know that he exists! The song are just a strange sound never heard before.
Emre S. He was doing an analysis of the "New strange sound".
I love how at some parts, the elephant sways to the music. So sweet & beautiful. ❤
Lamduan is so beautiful🤗🐘💕 and so are you kind Sir!! Thank you for playing this lovely music!!🥰
It's things like this that helps me take care of my soul. Kind regards.
Me too.
I bet that elephant will be Bach for more
Scott Murphy lol
Damn you, I choked on my drink
Scott Murphy Bravo sir!😂
Scott Murphy So wonderful.Music IS for all life.
Oh dear - I can't Handel it any more... I once had a Liszt of more bad composer gags but it must be Haydn. Bit too Bizet atm so will stop Messiaen around...
How noble it is to play music for the enjoyment of a blind elephant. So few of us have such opportunity to serve. Dear GOD, please bless this pianist.
멋집니다 항상 건강하게 행복하세요 응원합니다 최고 👍
Good to see Lam Duan actually listening to the music, and not texting on her smartphone during the performance.
LMAO!
Haha! So true
I hope everybody become blind
Michael Tyson Wow that escalated quickly. 😐
LOL. *puts smartphone down*
Dear Mr Barton. Thank you for being a kind soul. I hope this éléphant is still well and alive. Love her.
God made the animals to be our friends. Today, you have been a friend to an elephant that lives in darkness but you have brought the "light" of musical joy to his life.❤️
This brings a tear to my eye,,,,,
Imagine in 30,000 years people will see footage like this and think how incredible that humans once walked alongside creatures as beautiful as this. Hopefully the human race can stop exploiting the planet and cherish the animal kingdom.
lulnug i don't think asian elephants are going to go extinct they're at least partially domesticated
We won't be around at all then, we've destroyed the joint
There won't be a Human Race within the next 100 Years if we keep following the trajectory were on. The rate of progress will advance so much that Humanity as we know it will be unrecognisable.
In 30k years people will think how incredible that humans once lived on planet Earth.
It all starts with you
You can easily tell how much she enjoyed that. Such a great thing you're doing for these elephants
I have tears welling up as I touch this beautiful beast with my fingers on my screen .....oh How I wish I could be there!
What beauty in two ways. The music was lovely but the way that sweet, blind elephant responded was precious. This man gave this animal something special that brought a tear to my eye. I love it when people reach out in kindness to the helpless, afflicted or just plain lonely, be they man or beast. This was so touching that you can't put a price on it! Bravo!
I want to hug that Elephant 😭
HufflePUFF :P me as a proud Slytherin too.🖤
I respect you 🐍🐍😁👍🏽
She'd probably stomp you till you're half dead (it's a blind elephant)
Me too 😭😭
HufflePUFF :P Try me.
I wish youtube had a "love" button. I love this. This is absolutely beautiful.
There’s something soothing and tranquil about an elephant swaying
Lo mas maravilloso!!!, que inmensa alegria ver esta imagen llena de ternura, de amor!!!
Los animales, seres especiales, angeles terrenales, para mi!!!
Felicitaciones a este musico de alma, muchas gracias por llevar alegria, paz, amor ... a estas bellas criaturas!!!
She is sweet and that was sweet to play for her.
KJER ERRT if you don't live in that area....you have a more advanced smart phone than I do 😆
She lasted about as long as I do with classical music. About two or three pieces and them I'm on to something else. Lol
KJER ERRT is a stupid troll.
Because I read the header from the publisher of the video.
this is what youtube was for.
Yes not thos clickbating drama youtubers with their dumbening content
@@jimmyhendarta8851 is the era of elephant videos
UA-cam literally started with an elephant video from one of its employees
i think youtube is for releasing uncut footage from the world period.
UA-cam actually started with an elephant video.The first video on UA-cam is "Me at zoo" and they show elephants and talk about them.
I almost spelled it *ELEPANTS* 😂😂😂
What a wonderful human being you are Paul. I love what you do as do the elephants. God bless you.xx
Какое чудо! Ведь слон действительно слушает музыку! Люблю Бартона,его игру, его семью,его картины,пусть он и не великий художник.Человек выбрал свой образ жизни,не каждому это дано- жить не как все.Завидую.
The music seems to calm her. Is she in a safe place, a sanctuary? I hope so. Absolutely precious! Gentle giant.
I'm assuming so, I can't see them getting that piano out in the wild
Owlcoholic Gaming She’d also be super dead in the wild
Yeah I think it's a Thailand national elephant park or something
Yes, in the description says that it's from Elephant World, a sanctuary where you can visit them. In their page they wrote:
Elephants World is a self-supporting Environmental Conservation Organization that cares for domestic elephants, situated just outside the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
Elephants World cares for the daily needs of over 30 elephants and staff by offering Eco-travelers the experience of an up-close and personal encounter with these wonderful creatures. Our visitor programs range from a single day visit to the Mahout Experience of a week or more.
The Elephants World Mission is to provide the best possible care for our elephants, staff and visitors. We welcome travelers here at home and right across the world. We strive to make every moment spent with us educational, enjoyable and rewarding in meaningful ways, understanding our visitors love elephants and wish to play a part, as we do, in their conservation for future generations.
No, that's one of those Serengeti wild pianos.
She's so pretty. TY for playing for her.
any person that gives their time to give pleasure to animals is a good person....
So Beautiful!
Watching Paul Barton play classical music on a piano to Lam Duan, a blind elephant, fills my heart with joy.
These comments are making me tear up! I love that he's doing this for these elephants.
What a gorgeous pianist! Really beautifully played. So charitable and loving Mr Barton. The gracious lady is enjoying being healed by this, your playing, sir.
Paul Barton.
I have only just discovered your channel this morning. I have since shared one of your videos to my Facebook page for friends and family to see.
Every one I've watched has brought tears to my eyes. This is so beautiful and I cannot thank you enough. I absolutely adore what you are doing for these magnificent & beautiful beings. You're honestly one of a kind. I can only imagine what the world would be like if it were filled by people like you.
My hat goes of to you Paul.
What a beautiful thing to do for an unfortunate animal friend
Wow amazing. Animals are very receptive to music. When I play my sax just doing the warmups and long tones time and time again doves and other small birds will come to the window and listen for a bit.
My cats love my awful singing ..I sing to them almost everyday, I make up songs with their names in the songs
It turns out animal does appreciate music. That's what I know
Doves like music? That surprises me, but fits my theory on music. After having listened to music with a wild bird from 8 to 14 hours a day for 7 months, I've had some time to ponder how birds listen. They listen without distraction from a busy mind. Humans have minds that are triggered by music to think about stuff. Sophisticated listeners of music understand that thinking and listening conflict. Intense listening involves a quiet mind, and that's difficult to achieve. However, if you've got a birdbrain, like the little wild bird that roosted in my heater box, listening intently is natural and can be maintained all day. The bird found music to be most pleasurable, but it wasn't that simple. I think it did not like listening to music alone. Not in our case, at least, where the bird was so used to following what I did, that music got in the way of it's listening efforts. So, I couldn't leave music playing for the bird and then go do something, because the bird was compelled to keep tabs on me. It's as if it wanted to be involved in the action. As if we were nest mates. The bird has flown the coop, and I'm thankful, since the bird pestered me for music all the time, except when I was sleeping. But, if I were to yawn, or take a deep breath, it would tweet in order to get my sleepy ass out of bed.....to play music. All this sounds crazy, I know. This bird loves all kinds of music....you name it. That is different from most humans, who form strong preferences in music, being unable to listen to some types of music. I'm no scientist, and I don't play one on TV, but I think that music affects the primitive part of the brain, that humans "share" somewhat with other animals, but the advance part of the human brain either accepts that music or rejects it. Some people dislike all music. Some people only like a small portion of music, while others enjoy a wide range of music.
Very endearing, animals have beautiful dispositions and music crosses species boundaries and communicates with the heart.
This is a glimpse of heaven - love, peace, beauty, and timeless music.😇
Can you just stop and realise that an amazing video like this even exists?
Good point mate. This is something i never thought id see
Playing the piano in the middle of the wilderness to comfort a blind elephant...automatic subscribe
Hmm, thanks for the heads up. It does indeed appear that no seemingly good thing is without flaw. Perhaps though, this guy gives the elephants respite from their wretched lives? Still very unfortunate to hear :(
Nefarious Purple Badger They abuse animals in every country. This man is clearly doing just the opposite.
+aeneas4dido yeah but who's to say he works there? maybe he doesn't. He doesn't have to be the one doing the abusing.
Bach’s creations are God’s blessing to all life. Not just humans.
I am so moved by the communication this music provides in communication and pleasure between animal and human.
