In fairness this is a very famous spot, weird as it might sound that Piano (or at least the one there, it's probably been a few different piano's now) has had some incredible musicians play it. I've certainly heard beautiful music at least half the time I've passed it and that's only me passing by maybe a dozen times.
haha when I read it i bursted out in laughter, Your comment lit up the day even more, hope that the case with many people :)

@@0wned28 LOL, of course.
Let's be honest, we've all dreamed of doing this one day.
5 year old asians: nah
Lmao
I still dream of it.
tru..ive had a dream of doin that my best dream is when I crashed into a chipotle and started playing piano and everyone made a crowd, good times
Lol yeah
Almost nobody is interested unless everybody is interested.
Its an interesting phenomena in crowd dynamics, but the most important element of gathering a crowd is not a leader. Its the first followers.
A man dancing on his own is a man dancing on his own, but add a couple of those first followers and boom, you've got a crowd.
thats a quite poetic sentece
Lots of reasons for that. 1) self-absorbed, 2) absorbed with worry and elsewhere mentally, 3) jealous, 4) in a hurry because their life sucks or they're as disorganized as me, 5) actual philistines, 6) shy, etc.
I usually stop and cheer them on because that's my jam. But I don't judge. You wouldn't believe the shit I miss.
Thats social psychology for ya
Sheep mentality I noticed too
The child in the green sweater seemed genuinely happy and had the best reaction.
It's awesome to see the kids are the most amused and the first to show their interest in the sounds of the music coming from that awesome instrument

Why was I expecting for a brief moment that the man walking at minute 1:58 was about to do a magic trick with whatever he was carrying?
You can tell he’s truly a master by his crazy faces. 😂
Btw I’m not joking almost every professional musician does it
That makes the whole thing even more more beautiful when you see how strongly the man feels the notes he plays.
True... I too made funny faces when I played the flute or saxophone 🤣.
But only with those 2 because I found it very comfortable to play them and depending on how I was playing my face changed.
With stringed instruments, however, I had a tense and serious face all the time because I was very careful not to get the notes wrong.
It’s usually a sign of extreme focus so fair enough

Man that was magnificent! You made me smile and I was feeling sad tonight (2023~November) lost a young friend from cancer this year, another friend in a bike crash- lost friends in arguments, lost jobs, had zero luck dating this year. Just a really bad year. You made me want to keep fighting to live. I want to find those blues bars in Australia like this- I’m not sure if we have these venues here. I know in America their is.. you unlocked my love for music- I’m an INFP and I know this is what relaxes me. I’m going to start listening to brass and piano music and see if I can carry on and turn my luck around. Thank you man for the beautiful vibes
Thanks man for your inspirational comment. Keep on!

I like how the first person to actually stop and admire was a kid.
It goes to show how little adults actually appreciate things because of how much is on their plate these days. That kid heard the music and knew what he was listening to was pure class. Good ears son.

I know right. I’ve been playing for 9 years and then I see this. Professional jazz pianist**
I absolutely love walking through somewhere public and hearing someone jam out awesome music on an instrument, I wish there was more of it
The world could’ve been coming down around him, and he still only would’ve seen the music. Watch him, you can see that he’s IN the music, he’s actually feeling it, and it was finding release in his fingertips. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. A talent like that is something I can only dream of having!
Yes, his reaction shows he was not expecting that audience 😊
I am not playing music, skylar, I AM THE MUSIC
everyone is talking about his finger skills but what I find the best are the faces he makes while playing
Not gonna lie, I had the same faces while playing expert on the Wii Guitar... admittedly, I played nearly everything long, but still, good faces
Any musician that doesn’t make faces while playing isn’t a real musician...
Oerlikon20mm The face s he s making is me 3 o clock in the night listening to lil uzi while beating my meat
lol
I wonder if this facial expression thing applies to all creative fields? A lot of artists (like painters, cartoonists and the like) also find themselves unconsciously making the faces they're drawing while drawing them
Bloody incredible piece of music. It went on for a long time. Massive kudos to the pianist and glad people found the time to stand there and enjoy his playing. Loved it.

I have been doing the normal thing for about an hour clicking on music video and listening for 30 seconds before listening to something else. This guy stopped me completely and reduced me to tears. So much joy and I listened to the whole thing without any thinking, just floods of tears of total joy. I love the emotion this guys playing brought up in me. Totally wonderful.

The first person that stops is important.
Some people think it's the second person who stops, too. Before anyone stops, no one cares. When one person is stopped, they look like a lone weirdo. The second person is saying "I see the value in this the same as you; you are not a lone weirdo. I affirm you, I identify with you, I stand with you no matter what anyone else thinks." The third person must buy the first two a beer. Person #4 through person #[arbitrarily large number] might be simply watching their life go past as if it's only a UA-cam video. You'd have to look at the latecomers in other situations to know if they are capable of being persons #1 - #3;. The only way to know their character is to watch them when they are the first to see a diamond in the rough so they have the chance to be #1 - #3.

It's an amazing feeling to play an instrument & become totally absorbed in what you're playing, especially when you finish off & you know you nailed it dead right. The buzz is incredible & it makes all the work of learning to play feel very worthwhile, even when you're the only one who hears it.
