Jon Hopkins performing "Abandon Window/Nightfall/Autumn Hill" Live on KCRW 

Played this at my older brother's funeral two and a half years ago. He was 27. I was 25. It was only fitting. Like almost every other thing in life, he introduced me to Jon Hopkins. He had bought tickets for me and him to watch Jon Hopkins in DR Koncertsal in CPH, but due to Covid it got cancelled several times. He decided not to be here anymore aroune 9 months before Jon eventually performed the "Polarity" tour in CPH. Ofc, he had left the tickets as the only content on an USB. Me, and a bestest of friend who was/is like a brother to both of us, went to see jon. I was moved beyond words and felt his presense in that beautiful hall in a unique way I haven't since. Today is the first time I'm listening to this since the funeral. I need to stay in touch with you Thomas ❤ I love you everyday. I miss you older brother. Until next time.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard

I love the people on youtube that give thumbs down just to be negative... This guy is fucking brilliant! - Cheers Jon

For me, the beauty of this 'simple' piano versions is that they sound like a flashback to the night these pieces were born, just Jon improvising around certain chords. Love this atmosphere.

I like how this peaceful Sigur Rós sounding like piece is right after the whirlwind that is Collider in Immunity

wow, Jon Hopkins.. an all rounder. Great producer, absolute genius at composition and the ability to convey and switch between highly emotive down tempo piano tracks to up tempo forward thinking intelligent dance music that still has just as much emotion. Bring me this man.

Beautiful song - amazing how a few keys can bring out that emotion

He is certainly the living artist I like the most.

People are entitled to their own opinion i really dont know much about this artist but how seeing him play just makes me want to research him more and more...great artist

Abandon Window is something to cry to.

Still breaks my heart each and every time

His music is pure magic touching very deep chords of my soul.

I always feel Jon Hopkins music!! Some of these are like falling, some are like flying, and some are like rising... I wish I could hear it live, but I can't afford it. At least can hear it on internet!!

"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever." - John Keats

This very song means a lot to me and was like a kind of relaxation in a stressed situations and catastrophes in my life. Jon Hopkins' music just pulls those strings man. That mix of dreams, peace and space.

The amazing Jon Hopkins. Just him and his piano. Amazing

Love this. Has a very Ludovico Einaudi chord structure and feel to it. Was blown away by his performance at Echoplex in LA last weekend.

After seeing that, all I want to be is Jon Hopkins. I miss my grand piano...

what a beautiful man

Ugh. This guy is so talented I’m literally a little upset. Absolutely beautiful.❤️

Not just an Ableton knob twiddler. That's true talent right there.

This is beyond amazing, such a delicate touch, incredible

Why would you thumbs down 👎 such a talented artist, Shame on your ears if you can’t appreciate such a musician

Watching Jon Hopkins sit down and play piano feels like I'm at a performance house way back in the days of classical music genius. This man has written some of the most beautiful and atmospherically perfect songs the world will ever know. I'm In absolute stitches to hear his new record whenever he drops It!

How can a beautiful person such as this be so absorbed in something other than themself? It's simply unheard of these days!

he needs to release this on spotify!

"thank you - goodbye! goodbye goodbye goodbye - thank you...thank you..... thank you goodbye" - how I feel inside listening to this song....weeping with gratitude and loss...

Beautiful! I stumbled onto this after watching Einaudi's performance on KCRW. As a fan of both electronica and piano compositions, I'm excited to have found a new artist I'll be checking out in the new year!

beautiful! there's so much great music out there, you just have to find it!

Gave me chills, it did.

Abandon Window reminds me a lot of Hans Zimmer. Especially of "Time" from Inception.

How can anyone dislike this video.

Love your music Jon Hopkins...one of the most beautiful musics i've ever heard and i listen to good music day and night

This song gives me the feeling of gratitude. My life could be so different and im so grateful that its not. I have a beautiful 1 year old son and loving caring wife a house and i do what i love which is producing music. Grateful❤️ have a good day everyone

oh. wow. sometimes music leaves me confused as to what it does to your emotions and this is one of those times again.

jon hopkins should score a Christopher nolan film

so beautiful. it fills me both with the hope that there is goodness and people are incredible, but also the unsettling wonderment of space and galaxies far away. But finally that everything is beautiful and wonderful, and it will all be OK. Hopkins always gives me these feelings!!

Oh my lord. So wonderful.

thank you Jon💕 this is amazing!

Just beautiful

Listen, listen, listen... Thank you Jon...

This is just incredible. As a fan of Jon's music from the very start... to see him on the piano with tunes his fans will already hold dear to their musical hearts, is something spectacular.

Beautiful. And Jon can do it all.

Genius,Perfect,Beautiful ,Amazing

So beautiful and peaceful ! Thanks for sharing this gem with the YT community.

Gorgeous.

Thanks. Bravo ! So Excellent.

Dear KCRW, your outro is so terribly out of touch with this song that it gets as close as it gets to a literal form of 'taking a dump in my ears'. I still love you for recording and sharing this excellent performance though.

Very happy to meet you...

Beautiful

Got shivers when Nightfall started! Jon is mistakenly underrated!

Beautiful, i love your music, i love your disc. Thanks for the sound trips. Greetings from Spain.

so beautiful. Wonderful

Play this at my funeral.

A true music genius

Top track!!!

Maravilloso, sublime...emocionante!!

It's amazing how some musicians can make you feel so much with relatively simplistic composition. That shows true talent. This piece is so wistful and bittersweet, like sharing beautiful moments with someone you love but who doesn't have too much time left on this earth. Every moment counts and you just wish they could be with you forever.

so tender...

Vengo del futuro para decir que esto es belleza pura, oro que no se encuentra en cualquier lugar. La música cada vez sera mas mediocre pero estas melodías perduraran por siempre. Gracias Jon, Gracias por tu eternidad en estas melodias!

Jon! Your Soul is cool.

love 😍

All the cells of my body hate piano and people playing it. But man, Jon Hopkins is a genius and he's the only one making me enjoy this instrument.

Prodigious

Grande Jon ;D

❤️❤️❤️
