Amazing Grace - Violin Cover (Philip Bowen) 

Lost one of my friends and fellow officers this morning. Thank you for this, it brought peace on a very sorrow filled day.

I couldn’t fully post what I wanted to say to you on TikTok, so I came here and hunted this video down so that I can. Listening to you play brings joy, peace, and happiness to myself. I’ve been struggling for a year with depression because I lost my mom back in November of 2020 very unexpectedly. (Not Covid related) I’ve been trying to find the ‘perfect’ rendition of Amazing grace to play at her memorial and this, this is it. Your version is perfect and quite frankly, brought me to tears. My mom and i connected deeply through music and I know she would love your version to be played. My plan is to play your song during a paddle out that I’m planning for her right at sunset sometime in either the spring or summer and release a flower wreath in her honor. I can’t ever thank you enough for the way you play because you put so much passion into playing and it’s so easily seen by someone who used to play (and misses playing!). Keep up the amazing, beautiful work and I hope that god continues to bless you every day. YOU are truly a light in this world and there are so many people who appreciate you & your music. I, for one, are one of those people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am only 11 years old but love music. It holds a special place in my heart. For 2 1/2 years, I’ve wanted a violin/fiddle so I could play this song for my grandmother. She lost her mother in 2012. This song was so dear to her mother that she always cries when she hears it. I just got my fiddle today and am so excited to learn this to play for her and my family next Christmas. I even got teary eyes listening to this beautiful version. Thank you, sir. You are my inspiration to play. God bless you and your family. (I WILL come see you play some day if you come to Charlotte, NC.) Thank you, God bless!

I lost my oldest son. He was just 23. I find it hard to breathe at times and just when I catch my breath, your playing this takes it away again. Very beautiful. Thank you for letting the work through you. God has blessed you with an amazing talent and you are using it. Touching.

I will walk down the aisle to this song. I am truly amazed. For my new love and the love of the ones who I’ve lost that won’t attend my wedding. I feel as though they will be there in spirit. This song is life changing.

Great job! Can’t wait to hear more ❤️🙌

Saw you on TikTok. Came here to find more of you. Words cannot fully express what this makes me feel. It makes me feel at peace. Like somehow no matter what is happening, everything is gonna be alright. I hope you know how important your music is to people and that you don’t ever stop. I hope you’re able to continue to find joy in what you do.

This was played at my mothers funeral in may will be 12 years without her. I was only 10 years old when she passed this song needed this added to it. You are so talented.

God bless the musicians who through their gift make you feel "alive & human"...

The violin and bag pipes are my favorite way to listen to Amazing Grace. Told my husband and children to make sure it is played at my funeral. Thank you.

At Awe, the Holy Spirit just over whelmed my soul! So soft and smooth gentle and sweet, you play it with your heart. God Bless you Phillip thanks! (Glen). On the ole Guyandotte!

What a gift ❤

So beautiful thank you sir

Dang it!!!! After watching you..........Now I gotta to practice...........Awesome Job!!

Absolutely lovely.

No matter what praise I could give you here it wouldn't be close to enough. Phenominal.

Brings tears to my eyes, and I'm a tough old woman now living in WV. 🥰

Perfect!!

Your passion brings this song to life. It brings Jesus’ Arms around me. Thank you

Absolutely phenomenal talent, come visit Lough Swilly in Co. Donegal Ireland where the song was written

my cousin passed 11 years ago in October and this is the song that was played at his service. this brought me to tears. incredible. thank you for this.

Amen

Thank you precious Lord, lead Philip on.

My 8 year old just learned Amazing Grace on his fiddle. He had tears in his eyes when he got the first part down. I asked if he was ok…he said I just love this song. That was the Holy Spirit touching his heart. Saved by His Grace. Thank you Jesus. Can’t wait to share this with my son! Thank you

This is amazing I have had a bad day and you just made it 10 times better

Thank you love that song. My mom always sang that & how great thou art. This gives me special mom memories.

I've been looking everywhere for a simple, classy bluegrass version of this song to play for a family member's funeral but I couldn't come up with it myself. I hope you don't mind me using your version, it's just so beautiful!!!

Thank you so very much !!

Love your music brother

Best version on fiddle by far 👏

A simple thank you...you are an exceptional young man, with a talent beyond your years... honestly, I can't quite find the words that are in my head right now.. please keep doing what you're doing. I'm pretty damn sure there are a shit ton of people that agree with me, and want to see where life takes you! .... and..... how about some Alabama?... I know you know at least 1 or 2....

Such raw talent! My all time favorite hymn AND gave me goosebumps! Would love to hear you along with bag pipes playing this! Thank you sir!

Your playing gives me goosebumps 🎶❤️

Hey, thank you for sharing this with us all to start! I've seen a few recommendations to use amazing grace as a wedding song to walk down the isle and this version of yours is by far my favorite. I'd love to hear this at my wedding in beautiful Glacier National Park Montana. I think this playing as I walk out into the mountains and lakes would be so powerful. I've looked on Spotify but can't seem to find it, wondering if you have it uploaded anywhere else?

I am crying and i can't stop

Gotta say man I find a deep connection with your music and it carries real meaningful emotion, keep doing your thing I wish you all the luck in the world

Wow. God given talent. Such an amazing song.

Wow.

Amazing indeed

So amazing!! Would love to hear a full version of take me home country roads!!

This is the most beautiful version of Amaziing Grace I have heard. May God richly bless you!

Just beautiful!

I play piano, guitar, 5 string banjo and ukulele. I tried violin but found it difficult believe it or not. You do it effortlessly. Amazing my friend.

Just saw you live on reddit. Im speechless...

Outstanding man, very beautiful.

Omg I need your beginners music sheets

W🙏W! Beautiful Plus 🤩

Wow-You are amazingly,talented 💔

Would love to hear a collaboration of this with the fiddle and the bagpipes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝🇺🇸

Hey bro, I really love the way you play. You are amazing at all. I have never seen a fiddle player like you. Really Really good. Bye, bro.

do you have a way to purchase songs you have remade like albums of. I could listen all day everyday! great work!

God bless

This is so beautiful, brings me the most fulfillment of happiness. Do you think this will be on Apple Music or if it is on something already I would love to play this as my song to walk down the isle in April of next year. You are absolutely amazing!

Id love to hear what you come up with for the song Hey Cowboy by Autumn Brooke

Awsome. Keep it bro. Have you thought of putting your stuff out on a music platform?

Please tell me you’re releasing an album of you playing hymns

I tried Amazing Grace after practicing it for like two weeks and could only squeak out a few notes LOL it's the vibrato that kills the effect on most songs because I can't figure out how to practice those movements. Switching from drums to that instrument is a massive difference so it's awkward lol

Have you heard The Dead South,In hell I'll be in good company,I believe they would sound Awesome with your great Violin/Fiddle playing,thank you,and God bless !😌👍👃...

if you havent, by your grace cody johnson would be amazing and graceful

Jesus is playing right beside you,thank you.

Could you do Sarah McLauchlin HD piano cover Angel !😌👍🙏thank you for your marvelous healing musical arts !🙂👍🙏...

This entire Nation needs to stop, and listen to this .

Dude there's the scammers always at my job at Walmart outside and playing your cover right now pretending they're playing and asking for money. Dressed super nice , nice expensive cars and everything smfh

I sure hope you know Jesus as Lord because the music in heaven will be so much sweeter if you and your beautiful gift is there.

When we get to Heaven, I will be listening for your fiddle. I insist that you come play for us in the mansion God has for me.
