This sounds like a memory.
You are exactly right
Because you’ve heard this song before?
@@alwaysoutnumber4d Congratulations on completely missing the point.
It's almost as if the song is called "echo"
holy shit dead on
There’s only a few songs that get you nostalgic over a memory that doesn’t exist.
Reality Rogue totally. I got that same feeling with “trains” by Porcupine Tree
@@gerardoguzman6006 my favourite is inspiration from gypsy kings, although i guess that's from a bit of a different genre.
@@veronikadawson8319 Me too. I recently discovered that my great grandmother was Spanish. I'm 42 and thought that I was quintessentially English. Also discovered that My other great grandmother and great grand father were Welsh and Irish gypsies, all on my mothers side. It really is in the DNA...
Reality Rogue: That is a beautiful, meaningful and profound comment. Please see my reply further down this thread to Veronika. It explains everything. Be blessed my friend.
@@matthiashepworth6583 @Matty Worth I see! Personally I am of Japanese descend (Dawson is just an online pseudonym) with no Western blood within the past few centuries, at least as far as I'm aware of... but I might have to get my DNA checked up pretty soon then, haha.
I first heard Inspiration being used as theme song for a traditional Japanese drama. I don't know what sort of a genius would've thought to use flamenco music for an Edo period suspense, but many Japanese agree that there's something in it that weirdly resonates with our Japanese senses, even though the music itself is Spanish. Maybe it's the guitar tones? Who knows. But I love how music can totally travel through time and space, reach people's minds like nothing else can.
youtube recommended serving up some bangers
Bangers and Mash?? Count me in!
This is a really English comment ahahah

I bet he's really good at typing.
Good reply!
I can type 50 wpm but worry about learning concertina for Irish tunes
Get up to 70wpm then its a cakewalk @@bridgetcarr6884 😂
Guy on the accordion is hacking into the mainframe
It's called a concertina. And yes, Moshen is one of the masters of it at the moment.
Damn comment you scary!
IM IN
He’s in!

So truee
@@thomassublime5969 You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!
Boo you suck!
Have a good day, sir!
I was just gonna say that! Grate minds all around~
I can't explain why, but this moved me literally to tears.
Blue Hart that bad huh? 😞 🤪
pure skill will creep up and get ya lol
Genetic memories of authenticity and genuine people, joy and Good times
I love the comment that says "this sounds like a memory", can't think of a more eloquent way of putting it
@@Trailtotable genetic memories... hereditary sadness... longing for the homeland... godspeed to all.
Mohsen Amini is absolutely insane on Concertina, his hand movements are so rapid but accurate
I wonder who made his concertina. That's a very responsive instrument. Well, my only experience on it was a frustrating year in the 90s trying to learn a shitty $100 Stagi...
@@AllenGarvin It looks like a Jeffries to me! It's gorgeous.
Allen Garvin i feel for you, decent concertinas start at around the €1500-€2000 mark and if you want something concert grade you’re looking at waaay more
@@AllenGarvin there is no shitty instrument, just bad musicians :p
It’s a Sutner
I was not aware that it was possible to absolutely shred on accordion... but man was I just educated
This is a concertina, but to see shredding on an accordion you should look up Weird Al's accordion performances.
Go to the Balkans then and see the players there. Believe me I am Bosnian and we have some absolute shredders on the accordion who do Solos in Folk songs XD
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 Perhaps we could include Flaco Jimenez?
This will blow you mind, cormac begley on the concertina ua-cam.com/video/PQLMUHQtKKg/v-deo.html
Often called a "squeeze-box" in the UK. it's a concertina. They come in a range of sizes and complexities.
I didnt know my ears could make me see waves and surf against high cliffs topped with wind-whipped grass, and white clouds swirling and dancing with the gentle spring sun in a perfect blue sky.
Might just be a good day.
This feels like breathlessly running down a hill with your stupid friends on a bright summer's day.
I am with you. Great description
In the Cheese Downhill Run, such memories
When we were happy but had no idea.
I felt like it more represented being in an Irish pub as a foreigner, as things start out slow and then progressively get more fun the more hammered everyone gets while the game is broadcasted on the 15 inch at the head of the bar
To me, this song has always evoked the sense of exploring a city beside the sea, filled with ancient architecture, ripe with trade, friendly faces, and beautiful vistas over the ocean. It's part of the reason I use it in my D&D campaign whenever my players arrive in just such a city.
I'm playing an old antique concertina that we bought from someone who had it in a storage unit for god knows how long for a play at my high school, and I thought that I was becoming pretty good at it until I saw this video. 😅 The concertina work in this video is incredible, and I'd never be able to do it with my beat up Christina (that's what we call her). It's such a beautiful instrument, I can't wait to learn it more.
charcoal king that’s awesome! Best of luck to you and your musical adventure!
charcoal king don’t compare yourself to others, im sure you play it beautifully :) keep practicing
David Smith i play concertina and i totally agree its hard but its worth it :-)
charcoal king -- we all start somewhere!
Whatever it takes, please continue this music!
Came looking for copper and found gold.

Wish I could like this comment twice.
Damn right you did mate. Its impossible to hate this song
Dunno, man. That accordion looked silver to me.

At a pretty low moment in life... Music has healing powers, thank you.
Sending hugs and platonic love your way. Try the Gipsy Kings -excellent guitars with a Spanish feel. Pavarotti can be quite uplifting too, but not everyone's cuppa I know. I found Jesus so I'm OK, but I'm not here to talk about religion. Enya is beautiful, but caution if emotionally low. Try the Turkish March by Lang Lang, it's very uplifting. Waltz's by Strauss are good. Anything Salsa, Spanish, Latino like that is always energising. Experiment. I hope you take the time to YT these suggestions as much as I have to write them. Be blessed.
Same here, but we know deep inside that there is always a good day coming.
@@matthiashepworth6583 Thank you both, I'm in a much better place now, so much so it's kind of crazy haha.
Its sounds like something in movement, this sounds are alive, like a wind.
That's a poetic and beautiful way of describing it, i love it
its like flying over the nature of irland and maybe scottland.
at least thats what i always imagine.
and ofc some cliffs.
like the classic ireland for e.g
love it
Foster33 .....This is what happens, often, many players, when folkies get together to play Irish. All usually learned by ear, so heart and ear is in it. Becomes magical, even for the player, all is automatic.
when you try to play your concertina but instead you ascend to the next realm and fight god
Pompadorbz hate when that happens 😂
That feels like, I dunno, the next Zelda game or something.
@@GentleTaipan Link has to defeat an Irish Ganondorf and his special move is a concertina solo.
@@GentleTaipan Considering how many instruments have had important roles in Zelda games, I feel like this is a likely scenario
😆😆😆😆😆
Why is no one talking about the woman who played the violin? She’s so skilled at the bowing technique and I can’t even do that on my violin 🥲🥲🥲
Apparently it's a fiddle
Also because the concertina and the fiddle are always played together, if you dont know what the fiddle or the concertina sounds like (many people dont even know what the concertina is) its difficult to separate the sounds and identify who's making what sound.
But yes she is very talented
because we're all too enchanted by the tiny fancy accordion but yes they're all playing beautifully
Her bowing is IMMACULATE! but the hold is weird...
Guitar is good. Fiddle is real good. But concertina is jaw-dropping!
wonderful discovery to add to my celtic music favorites.... great to see young people doing this type of music
Celtic maybe, Heavenly certainly.
@@TheMightyTengu Celtic certainly, heavenly absolutely.
Why? What's age got to do with anything?
@@Kitiwake i think he just says that seeing yoing people playing traditional forms of music is refreshing
@@Kitiwake because if younger people are playing then it means the music is passing through generations and not dying. especially important for more traditional, 'older' music like this.
Why am I cryin' in the pub rn
"You hear that? That's adventure, and She's calling out your name."
Accurate af 👌🏻
Yh hear that. Simp!
You should change your name you're more than that.
why would someone name their daughter adventure???
Seems like you are not the asshole in comment section today 😉👍
We are so very ,very blessed to be surrounded here in Scotland by these wonderful musicians Talisk , Skerryvore ,Duncan Chisholm ,Julie Fowlis , Skipinnish , Ross Ainslie Brighde Chaimbeul ,Jarlath Henderson ,Laura Wilkie ,Aly Hutton and so many ,many more.. And all of them on fingertips here on UA-cam for those who live around the world to listen ,watch and join in with us in spirit ,enjoyment and appreciation
Thank you for sharing your list of favorites!🎉
The smile on Hayley's face says it all. I mean.... how could you not smile when you're a part of producing music THAT Good !!!
Loving this tune! No instruments is the "protagonist" rather it is like every instrument is member of a group of 3 friends that share a amazing memory together. the concertina introduces us to theire story but they all tell there own perspective
That is such a beautiful way of putting it 💙💙
Say what you want about the internet but the fact that i can just listen to music and instantly feel like i was 5 again and walking into my local pub remembering the old folks voices, the smell of cigars and cigarettes the smell of whisky and a carpet soaked in beer but being in awe that through all this came a unity in music and feeling and emotion that is still unmatched to this day.
I feel lucky enough to be 28 and having experienced all of that but being old enough to realise its almost a thing of the past given curfews on children, the smoking ban and all of the other odd bits thrown upon pub life.
This is a five year old song so I doubt anyone's still reading these comments but. I recently found out that I was the "other woman" in a relationship (neither she nor I had any idea. She forgave him instantly somehow), and for some reason this song, long sitting in my Spotify likes, has been the only thing to bring me any comfort. I can't even say why. It just reminds me that the world actually still is beautiful even when it feels ugly.
♥️
im so sorry you have to go through this. this song is also the only thing i can listen to during the most stressful periods of my life. but this song conveys, as you said, beauty and hope. remember that things will get better!
I've just seen your comment a year later. I hope your life is in a much better place and your heart has healed. You deserve so much better than to be treated like that.
This song has the sound of a nostalgic memory; rushing by in the theater of one's mind so fast that the fine details of the background and 'side characters' fade away in a blur of color. Nostalgia is one of the very few emotions that we as humans can experience that is both negative and positive at the same time. It reminds us of times gone by that we remember fondly but at the same time encompasses the longing we feel to relive those days that have already passed. To any who reads this, I want you to remember something. Nostalgia is not a bad feeling, it is proof that we are something that exists above the world as we know it. Whether it was through atoms smashing in just the right way to give us a planet that is perfectly far from the sun with water that we can drink and the food we can eat or the hand of God(s) lovingly sculpting us and the world to grow beyond their design and become more beautiful we have the capacity to feel happy for what we've experienced and miss it at the same time. This is an aspect of life that we as humans can cherish. Keep looking forward, since echoes of that nostalgia will ripple outwards into your future and the tune will sound just as vibrant and beautiful as the first time you heard it but with new faces, new places, and new experiences.
I love your comment so much but wasn’t ready for the emotions it made me feel! Made my eyes leak!
What an absolutely crystalline, perfect way to describe the sensation. Thank you for sharing it. ❤
You guys are idiots, this comment is very deep.
What a wonderful comment. I am not experienced enough in writing, to convey my feelings in text. But know that your short passage here invokes much emotion in me, and readers like me.
THAT'S A CONCERTINA??!! Whenever they've shown up in novels I'm reading, I always pictured a small piano forte type thing, not a gorgeous tiny accordion. Ahhh, all the musicians are so talented.
We all came here for the tiny fancy accordion. Admit it
How could we not?
😁 I admit it...
And I'm so glad that I clicked
haha yeah, i've held one with very similar patterns, the clickbait was perfectly tailored for me LOL
Nope I came here because my taste is so cool YT recommends me these great obscure instrumental gourmet folk tunes but I def clicked on it because of the tiny fancy accordion. OK I admit that.
dad always played concertina growing up. Ive always accompanied him on guitar, and now it's my turn to learn to play one for myself. One day I will learn how to do this
I get the strangest feeling from this song, it's sounds like a summer love story where every moment was magical and it's never ever coming back.
I love the sound of guitar and violin together. It’s such a beautiful combination, and adding concertina has such a natural feel to it in terms of the sound it makes and how they all play together. One of my favorite songs ever
Wonderful !!! So,happy to have come along your way . Hoping & wishing you are still playing music together ! I am a Britton living in Belgium,for 30;years, and this piece of lively music reminds me of my joyous Gaelic roots !!! Hiha ! Thank you so much Xxx Florence
In my next d&d game, I'm going to play this as the 'opening theme' at the start of each session.
Did you do this? No, because I approve
Was just thinking about how this is the type of thing that runs through Moss Dirnach my current characters head when he can't sleep and is experimenting with new brews
I can’t think of a better theme!
This is one of the songs I used to introduce the groups I play with to the concertina...because that's the instrument of choice for my bard. :D
Years later and I'm still impressed Mohsen Amini's show of manual dexterity in his performance here. This is still one of my favorite pieces of music.
If you read this: May you get all that you ever dreamed of. It is all there, waiting for you, you just need to take the step out to the unknown and you will find all that you desire 🙏🦋❤️ Have a blessed day while listening to this beautiful, serene music ❤️
This song makes me feel so safe. The first few bars of the guitar riff just make me feel like everything is going to be alright and everything is warm and familiar.
A true English concertina is a difficult thing to play. I've heard them in sessions over the years, but this takes it to a whole new level. Bravo!
That one's an anglo concertina
This is how I want my video game to sound. Imagine this as an intro for legend of zelda
YES
For an action adventure game where you walk quietly in the open world, before everything gets too dark and sad as the plot advances
This would make a PERFECT Zelda song
Fabulous fingers from all three, Great Stuff altogether!!!
I have no funny comment to write here. This is just incredible. The combination of the soft sound of the guitar, the distinct sound of the violin and the stinging sound of the concertina is just amazing. You're awesome.
This song just gave me chills and a tear in my eye.
This song speaks to me of grand memories we lived and loved. We recall those moments with fondness in our minds eye, some are Crystal clear in focus others in a haze we cant bring into true clarity but the feelings are still just as strong as the day we made those memories and truly lived.
I was watching a short with a split second of Buddy Holly on accordion, looked up a video and this was in the recommended after that, glad it was because this was gorgeous, thank y’all for the amazing music
I love the concertina!
I never heard a Concertina like Mohsen play. GREAT
I was looking up accordions and concertinas to spark some interest in trying to learn and then I found this and now I am adding one to my cart.
Gilbii ...You can get some pretty good apps for the iPad, I play virtual melodeons, (also real ones) go for Micheal Eskin, he started it all, with Hohner.
where did you find this concertina model? i need one after this video
juscelino filho ....This is an Anglo concertina, out notes and in notes. The English is different, more buttons, play the same note in and out. Also can get iPad apps.
admit it you never started to learn it.
blackbonsai ....Who? Me? I don't (although I know how to) play Anglo concertina but melodeons, they play the same but the top half is in your left hand, enhances the ability to play both octaves, you can play with 8 fingers instead of 4, play bass with the right hand, or not, as you choose. Sure I can play the iPad melodeons, can't feel the buttons, and I was advised from the beginning not to look, so takes a different mind-set, quite doable with work. You can set the notes to show on the buttons, but reading is not my way, it is down to hearing, also hearing when I run right off the tracks 'cause no feel on the screen.
Best Scottish instrumental folklore band nowadays.
I literally cannot thumbs up this enough, when I feel upset or like the current state of the world is going to swallow me up and never let me go this song is one of the ones that are enough to pull me out of things and remind me of all that is wonderful in the world. I don't know how to express how thankful I am to Talisk, thank you
I jams out to this in Goochland every morning before opening up the farm. 🧡👌Jah Bless.
Music doesn't normally make me want to dance. But I couldn't help myself. I danced without caring! Mark of a great song right there
Makes me feel like I'm back on my friend's farm dancing around the midsommer fire.
I've barelly began to learn music, I have no clue of what just happened here, I just know that I loved it
Giovana P. ...Best you don't learn music, nut it out by ear is easier.
That's all you need to know really.. I'm almost completely sure of it.
@@louisecassidy5991 that isn't good advice
@@louisecassidy5991 please, don't destroy the dreams of beginners just because you had a bad teacher.
Louise Cassidy I wouldn’t recommend that. You’d need to lean the basics first and some theory first! Doing things by ear is fun, but it’s nice to be able to read the sheets.
I listened to this song for the first time while driving with friends through Arizona forests (yes, there are pines forests in Arizona) and this song totally fit the vibe. Unfortunately, I didn't take note of the song, but one of my friends helped me rediscover it after 2.5 years. Totally jamming out right now.
I tried to write this comment three times but I couldn’t dare pausing the video. This was a true gem and everyone did so well. The talent and discipline really shows, I couldn’t believe how the violinist was so clear and smooth with her bow at that tempo. And don’t even get me started with the guy playing the jewlery box
I love how you can see the music traveling through them, and how much they're into the process of creating it. The foot tapping, the occasional smiles and glances between them. This is the true spirit of collaborative music.
There's nothing quite like making music in a small group like this. It's like together you're speaking a secret language no one else in the world can understand. It's one of the best feelings in the world.
When I saw and heard how you three played together, I was reminded of something I learned in choir. My teacher told us that in a good choir, you can pick out great individual voices but in a great choir every individual listens in order to blend their voices into the singular 'voice' of the choir. I listen to a lot of folk music but I've noticed that the three of you are so in synch at times I stop hearing individual instruments and only hear the sound of your trio as a whole.
It's kind of magical to see and unique to your group. So Thank you for sharing your voice, listening to you work off of one another is a joy.
As a 43 year old grumpy bastard....I am not ashamed to use the word pretty when describing this set.
@Toughen Up, Fluffy Or at least 49 with 2 2" holes in the thigh a half inch deep after mowing grass for an hour and a half all the while chasing 6 year-old twins single-handedly for 5 years.
As a 70 year old ornery geezer; this makes me feel good.
To think that this kind of music can generate 97 👎 is appalling.
As a horn player all I can say about a concertina is it would whip my ass.
Jesus loves you and he died for our sins
you're still a child! enjoy that.... or we'll take away your teddy
@@andrewdavis8317 Nobody loves cannibalistic Jewish space zombie cult member commenting. FYI.
Thank you from my heart for the joy you bring in this crazy, dark time❣🥰💃🎆
Aaah yes Talisk . Maybe from the place where they make Tallisker whisky... should have guessed it might be Scottish. Wonderful .. what a treat 🎉❤
I have never heard anything like this. This and Farewell. What incredible music.
I love how it’s only three instruments, but they sound so.... beautiful 🤩
finally gotten to the point where I can kinda start learning these songs on concertina, but god those quick trills he intersperses all over the song. Those alone are gonna take a few more years lol. Truly one of the best and most inspiring concertina players in the world.
기타 연주하신 분 너무 멋있으세요ㅜㅜㅠ
많이많이 보고싶어요ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
This song is absolutely beautiful and brings a tear to my eye everytime I listen to it! Truly a work of art! This song means a lot to me as it was supposed to be the introductory song to a dnd campaign that never happened, so happy tears for sure! But also a few sad ones mixed in…
I can listen to this song into my grave. It is not only instantly likeable, but endlessly so. I can’t believe it took me so long to find this group. They’re unbelievable!
Ow man.... Never have guessed that a musical ensemble could give me new hopes and adventurous vibe...... I sincerely wish the best for you all! I really do.
Such a beautiful harmonious melody... I'm one of your fans now ;)
Tysm for removing my sadness, for a while. At last.
Echo has amazing power and sophistication that's surprising from a 3 piece Celtic group.
Here after hearing these lot on the BBC at New year bringing in 2022. Love listening to this!
1st of your songs i discovered then dish the rabbit hole i listening to everything i could find and then everything from the other projects each band member was a part of. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. Peace and long life.
Watching this lady saw on her fiddle as she runs through arpeggios at the speed of light is absolutely mesmerizing.
Also like some guy said, I had no idea you could shred with an accordion.
It's funny, despite the good studio quality, I like hearing the "imperfect" clickety-clack noise of the accordion. It brings a bit of life to the music.
So beautiful to see folk music being kept alive, there's so much life in this song! And that concertina is adorable
Stuff like this makes me happy. I feel like this is a musical representation of how it feels to dance in sunlight.
I can never get enough of this song
Not since 1984 have i heard such sweet tunes. Oh the sweet skipping melody sounds of the box faster than running water, cooler than cool. oh man .the interplay is firing through the internet. Nice work oh people who choose to make music instead of noise.You are bringing simple pleasures to life.Keeping the darkness of our times at bay.
I really love this song, it always make my sadness go away. I really love your songs!!
How is this so good! I can't stop myself re-listening to it! Fantastic!
This progression has taken me to the edge of heaven... thank you...
Ok, I dunno what just happened to me..but I'm here like shook for 15 minutes now and cannot describe to myself where I was...
I can't come up with a compliment that can even grasp the beauty of this..
Thank you, thank you very much for this
Made my life
First song heard of theirs and man... I legit teared up, this is beautiful work!
While listening to this makes me feel like i am standing in a beautiful tree allee during autumn and the sun is shining, the colorful leafs are dancing in the wind while falling down and you just be a kid a again!
Lovely vision !
Same here but I’m holding a Twix bar.
You guys are amazing! Congratulations for winning the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician's award!!!
Had this in a playlist for the last couple years, one i put together as I moved from southern England to eastern Scotland. Talisk, Elephant Sessions and similar. Good music for good times! The other comments about music evoking feelings are totally right about this genre!
Doesn't make me nostalgic, makes me feel proud of the moment I'm in now. I work harder to this song. You guys got it, Talisk.
I have never seen anybody play a Concertina, the guy playing was truly awesome...
Very few songs give me whole-body chills, and this song managed to number among them 30 seconds in 😱😀
I usually listen to drum and bass but I really loved this… their passion is great
I clicked because haha funny tiny accordion.
I left with goosebumps, a tear in my eye and an overwhelming sense of hope and happiness. This piece gives off the warmth of a summers day, with the nostalgic twist. The hint of Celtic in it adds to it too. Overall a wonderful experience...well done 👍
A Highland song brought me here.
The music is why I stayed.
I really want to make an animatic with this song someday. The vibes are immaculate.
A tune to lift a heavy heart. Exquisite!
Wait a minute... This sounds like an original reel? That's a pretty cool blend you have there. Contemporary styling near the front and back ends sandwiching traditional reel time madness. Gonna need some more of that.
Yes, it belongs to the neo-trad movement. Scotland is on the edge of it.
This feels like the 1890s, but you're sprinting through a field trying to make it to your destination in time. You don't know if you'll even make it anymore, but you find yourself forgetting to care, just the thrill of it all is what keeps you running through the grass. Wind in your face, pollen puffs streaming past, stray twigs catching your petticoat, with the sun pushing on your back and at the very last second, when you're just about to give up... you make it.
Just insane energy..... If I tried dancing to this I'd have a stroke. Absolute stars of the current folk scene. Making the old fresh and new and making the new with substance and character. Just excellent. Bravo.
I could so easily see this in a fun montage/trailer or a scene of emotional crescendo in any wholesome adventure movie or a Ghibli movie.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for bringing such joy
This just sent me through a world of wonder that has yet to be written and drawn- absolutely outstanding, well done.
back again after 4 yrs, thanks youtube recommendations
Without a doubt, one of my favorite songs to date. It's so fun and melodic so you just cannot resist to jam with it.
This feels like an important memory that I haven't experienced yet, it's bringing tears to my eyes. This is the most soulful music I've ever listened to.
Thank you guys.
