I love the minimal use of light, puts more emphasis on the piano as well as Jon. While I’ve never heard of this song you can definitely hear the optimism in the notes...despite what we are going through we can overcome.
Such a tender rendition of this piece - stripped down, emotive and reflective. The cinematography fits the reflective feel, as does the minimalist lighting. Just lovely. I cry a little as I listen -- it touches me deeply. Thank you for this.

My mom grew up going to church with Jon and his family. They are wonderful and I love his music. I hope to one day become as good of a piano player! Love you Piano Guys ❤️

This song reminds me of all the good in my life because it uses intentional pauses to build to the next note and add emotion much like the Lord does. We may be in an intentional pause right now or in the middle of a chord but wherever we are in life He is with us as we wait for the next emotional note. But work is involved, the hammer must hit the string and the finger must touch the key. The work may hurt like the hammer or may be a gentle guide like a finger on the key but He is the musician and our song will be perfect if we trust Him.

since the loss of my baby sister at the young age of 19 in june, i've been listening to music that i like to hope she would hear i miss her so much but the battle with the lupus illness was to much for her body.... dear baby sis, love you everyday and i will not forget your bravery ... i love you and we will meet again one day, each breath, each step, each day is a moment closer to you... love always, your big brother
Oh my God! A free piano every single week until the end of the pandemic?! You’re right; that IS crazy! Super generous crazy! I pray they reach people who deserve it and will ripple to making the whole world a more beautiful and connected place through music. Hats off to your generosity, guys. Love from Malaysia. 🇲🇾 🎹
A weekly free piano is definitely crazy! It's great that they're doing this to bring people together and inspire others to play music during this time. We can all strive to be unified, at least a little, through music. One small thing - please don't use the Lord's name in vain by saying omg :)

I set out on a narrow way many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you That every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yes, He did I think about the years I spent just passin' through I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there, you understand It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true Every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yeah And now I'm just a-rollin' home Into my lover's arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you
It's like angelic notes resonating through a distant cloudland, yet so close and so warm... Listening, I realised how much I missed music like this, pure, clean, strong and genuine. A singing call to our most primitive dreamworlds.
This song already had so much meaning wrapped up in it for me (my husband and I danced to this song at our wedding), but now all the more as I hear it played by Jon, I can't even put into words how moved I am by it. Thank you for this, and all that you guys have given us over the years. Thank you for the music. ❤🎶🎹🎻
Music is amazing at healing pain and frustration. I need music everyday to keep a smile on my face, I play my instruments everyday to keep up the smiles. Thank you guys for being so awesome. Love ya😘
Jon was among my favorite pianists growing up. I’ve definitely been inspired by his musicianship over the years. Met him once at an EFY concert. I remember he played like a Mozart piece upside down with hands crossed. I definitely would not be the pianist I am today without his music. Still getting inspiration for my channel uploads.
Considering what Jon went through with his loss this song hit harder. You can just feel the emotion he’s put into his playing. God bless you Piano Guys!
About a year ago my 8 year old niece came to live with me....she has been begging to learn how to play the piano we spend days and hours trying to find on on FB, so she has something to play and learn how to play! Fingers crossed maybe we will win one!!!
I already have the song I’m walking down to.. but just decided that this is definitely the song my bridal party will be walking down to. My fiancé absolutely LOVES this song! & I’m going to do my best to keep this a secret! 💙

I've been a fan of Jon and Steve (and Paul and Al!) for about 15 years now... and still you can tell they've such joy in music that they can't help spill it out into their performances. This is what music should be.
I've been just operated a few days ago. This song is melted my heart. These guys make my day better. I can't laugh, because it's hurt, but they always make me smile. Thank you guys. Bye from Hungary
I’ll admit that has a long time fan of Jon Schmidt, I was ready to hear this completely disassembled (in a GOOD way) and rebuilt like his incredible arrangement of, “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” but nope...Jon completely stripped it down naked instead and let each note sing for itself. Once again, I’m blown away.

Jon’s music has always brought peace and happiness to me. When I was working as a waiter last year, Jon came in with his family. I had the pleasure of serving them, and let me just say, he is just as delightful in real life as his music is. Thank you, Jon, for making the world a better place through your music and through your deeds.
Watching this from Nova Scotia Canada, after a horrible mass shooting last week. We are all feeling a little broken and fragile right now and not being able to gather together to grieve and support each other just makes things a little more bleak. This song brings tears, but also the reminder of how these roads lead us to where we need to be. And as a side note, your rendition of Fight Song/Amazing Grace has been circulating here as well. We are ‘New Scotland’ with strong ties to our Scottish roots. Thank you for being a beacon in a dark time.
Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you
This is what I needed today. Music is so healing. My mother sold our piano to make ends meet when I was 4 years old. At the time she didn't know how much I wanted to learn to play. I never got lessons or have had the chance to own another in all these years. I taught myself to read some music in high school but mostly learned a few songs by ear. Anytime there is a piano I have to sit and play a few chords with a melody I remember. It's like coming home but at the same time losing yourself in another world. There is just something about the piano that makes my soul warm and healed.
Adept? Not even close...these two guys are the epitomy of insanely grand talent only chosen by the man of Above! Now, my bucketlist is to witness them perform LIVE!!!!
How amazing is it that something you need comes along right when you need it? I’ve been struggling for a while. Everything with this virus, my college courses getting moved online, being an essential worker-working on the front lines to care for the people who are sick, being told that a professor, who I was close to when I was obtaining my bachelors degree in music, was just placed in hospice care because of a quickly degenerative brain disease. It’s been a very tough couple of months. Thank you Jon for posting something so wonderful as a reminder that as hard as things can be, there is a reason for it and something good will come from it. I definitely needed this message today.
Every Piece Played by Jon Schmidt has such passion, such feeling I look forward to every video that he puts out alone or with Steven Sharp Nelson, They are just brilliant gifted musicians. And this Video is just a testament to that. Thank you Jon and Steven
I needed this during this time as a senior in high school lots was ripped away from what was supposed to be the best year of my life. Thank you Jon ❤ this was well needed #classof2020
Andrew Hill - I’m so sorry to hear that Andrew. I can’t fully imagine how it must feel for you, but I do get it, a little. I graduated just a few years ago, and I still remember high school as one of the best times in my life (which I know is contrary to what others have felt!), and I’m so sorry for all you missed out on. But! There are better days and better opportunities coming your way, until then, congratulations, and keep hoping for the best. :)
Wow, Andrew. That is an aspect of this pandemic I had not even thought of until you said it. You are missing out on your senior prom, high school annual signing party, and all the fun that is unique to your last year of high school. I am so sorry to hear that. I know it is of little comfort right now, but in a few years you won't even think about it that much. High school, and all of my high school friends, used to be my whole world. A few years after graduation I continued to associate with very few of them, and the details of high school had all but faded from memory. Of course I still love my high school classmates, but life takes us all in different directions. It will for you too eventually. That doesn't ease your pain at the moment, I know, but it will be your saving grace once all of this is over and we resume life as normal again. Maybe you could head up a committee to organize an annual signing party once this is over, and in doing so, you could reclaim at least a small part of what you are missing out on. We have to be creative and do what we can to overcome and not allow this evil virus to rob us of the things that are important to us. Forgive me for rambling, but I am trying to find words to ease your pain. I hope I haven't failed. I wish you all the best that life has to offer, Andrew. One last thing, Andrew. God does bless the broken road. I know this because I am a terminal cancer patient, and He has blessed me in countless ways as I wait to go to the land that knows no cancer. Throughout all I am going through, He has made the quality of the time I have left amazingly wonderful. He will bless your broken road too.
Senior here as well man. I hope your school figures out how yall can still walk across that stage and shake your teachers hands. 12 years we've been waiting for this moment. Best of luck to you
@@loganplank7635 I wish the same for you, Logan. I truly believe that schools across the nation will have graduation ceremonies for you once we pull out of this craziness. My best to you and to seniors throughout the world.
Senior year, or what was supposed to be, was one of the worst years of my life. My class and friends graduated and walked, but I had to work to pay bills so my options were be expelled or drop out. I'm 30 now. I never expected to live to this age. And it was worth every step. When it's hard, so hard you have no idea how you'll do it, just take one more step. You've taken many steps before, and you probably can take one more. Before you know it you'll be a year, five years, ten years in the future wondering "how did I do it?" and you'll realize you did it because of your own resilience, strength, and because you always took one more step.
I always played you guys when my 5 year old was a baby to get him to sleep. We have a two week old now and he was sound asleep within 2 minutes. Your music never lets me down! Dennis, Camden, and I thank you. ❤️
I play bass guitar but I think the piano is my favorite instrument to listen to. Such a wide range of frequencies available from 1 instrument. From the low, almost thunderous, emotive notes, to the high, piercing notes. Just so many sounds & “feels” you can get from it.
There’s a sense of simple grace, but if you search deeper into the chords, you can find a haunting sense of reality. It’s all beautifully portrayed through the perfect chords and the right balance between the melody and harmony. Love it!!!!
Omg, I used to love this song back in the day. Somehow forgot about it as time went on. Now, because of this beautiful video, I remember this song again and get a beautiful piano cover of it at the same time. I've fallen in love with this song all over again. Brings back a lot of memories....
At times it may seem bleak but I know every negative can most definitely become a positive. When it gets too tough to bear I know I am being carried on His shoulders. My favorite poem is Footprints in the Sand. In every situation I know He is with me.
Sorrow, hope and gratefulness in one song. I know this feeling and know you do too. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. From one heart to the other.
Who could dislike this? 🥺 This was stunning. Stripped away all of the original sounds and created a grounded, yet ethereal sound. I feel content. Truly content listening to both of you. Thank you. ♥️
"FREE PIANO" PIANO GUYS ARE SO AMAZING !! I love you guys ❤️ keep it upp never give up! Stay safe out there 🙏 . this is my chance to win a piano I always wanted one . Love you guys!!
Thank you for sharing your soul's work and joy with all of us, today. "That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you". May you and yours..Be In Good Health. Namaste.
This song brings me so many memories. Rascal Flats was the first concert my daughter attended. One of the members of Rascal Flats is from this county so it was like a local return. I have been a fan of the Piano Guys for years and have been to a concert (the best!). Piano is my 'go to' instrument especially during these trying times. Thank you for all you do.
Jon is an amazing pianist that is no doubt. however, as a fan and a long time violist, i can feel jon's sadness still play thru the song. I can definitely say that i believe that she wants him to be happy and not sad. #rememberannie
I love listening to The Piano Guys! Thank you for your wonderful music. It brings so much peace to this crazy world around us. It gives warmth to the heart. And serenity to the soul.
