Piano for 2 Bull Elephants - Behind-the-Scenes + FAQs 

You are so right.........

You are so right......

Very true and poetic statement. Thank you! 😍❤️😍❤️

Aww, well put...😢

YES, perfect..."a wonderful world"...well said.

Sympathetic is the RIGHT WORD....it either SYMPATHY the positive SYMpathetic .....the negative ANTIpathy.....never empathy or tize..

@@danyahpereira1006 No empathetic is right, it means to understand and value others emotions.

@@hughe29 I gave you the RIGHT breakdown bit you want to keep saying that ridiculous make up WRONG word....go right ahead,it is just such a APATHETIC cephalus.

​@@danyahpereira1006 You are embarrassing yourself.

@@obscurus1344obscures, as your screen name suggests you're in the DARK, trying to be esoteric ? Lol. stay in the dark..... broke down the word CORRECTLY as from where it came from.....i wise not waste time trying to convince you or anyone,get off your stupid ego and get real learning...just Apathetic. please don't bother replying for will not even read it,my time is precious,and by the way I just read your stupid first line...didnt bother reading the rest.by ignomous.

You kinda too much overthinking people words. Next time it could be crocodiles or something else. I think all the series with elephants is just a nice try to get more subscribers, nothing more. Entertainment....

@@oleksiychekin6756 The guy in the video meant exactly what he said. He expressed his respect for their size, strength and ability to hurt him if they wanted to. You speak from of a position of inexperience. If you were ever face to face with one of these creatures and they didn't hurt you, you'd also feel the privilege that the man in the video is talking about.

​@@EckBawkLive As for respect, we need to respect all living creatures, regardless of their size, strength and the presence / absence of their ability to harm us. Anyway, size of the animals is not make them more important then your parents, your family, your friends. I think its always better to spend you time on your important peoples or self education. At least then compared with "privileges to play for elephants"..... Of course, maybe what I write for someone looks strange. And they either dont have (or not care about) these important people or they have so much free time that there is enough time even for entertaining elephants. I can only understand people who treat these animals or for example help them with food in case of any problems, such as with fires in Australia. This is really great people. Moreover, most of the peoples not care about making videos for RU-vid that show their help. They not waste time on making such videos, they spend the time on the help.

​@@oleksiychekin6756 I disagree, honestly. Sorry it’s long, I tried to bold the main points 😊 → I believe his wife lives in Thailand, so it's not like he isn't spending time with family. → *Barton has been playing the piano for elephants for almost a decade now;* it doesn't seem at all like he's doing it just to gain subscribers rather as a way to join two interests in his life; elephants/animals and music. *→ Making a video where you're supporting a cause often is to help raise awareness which means more people are likely to help. Documenting a good deed doesn't tarnish the deed at all.* → You could consider this a hobby and *people need hobbies* for the sake of their own health and wellbeing. Many people play video games or whatever else which is fine, but you have to admit, playing music for animals seems a lot more productive. In any case, why should it be wrong for someone to spend some time in their life doing what they enjoy? → "Helping" doesn't have to be just reserved for people, it can also be helping animals, and that doesn't have to be restricted to giving them food or water alone. *Elephants are emotional animals and respond to music, they like it and like making music themselves, according to studies. He is playing for elephants many of which have been abused or mishandled* or are now suffering from ailments such as blindness. Like humans, animals have needs which extend beyond “food and water”; emotional needs are also important to consider. *→ You can spend time helping animals and still have time to help humans. It’s not like you have to choose either or.* → To be in the position to be near an elephant, given their sheer size, nature and intelligence, is definitely something to feel blessed about. To be in the position to play wonderful music for them and actually have them pay attention, even more so. It's not the same as playing for a cat, for example; they generally could care less. *Playing music for an animal, especially when you’re as talented as Barton is, and having them benefit from it (increased happiness, emotional wellness, raising awarness of their plights, etc) is definitely a privilege.*

@@oleksiychekin6756 You're such a narrow minded and negative. How could you judge someone in a bad way from a 5 mins. video. This is a beautiful family channel with full of positive energy and inspiration. Mr. Barton is a great pianist and artist with a kind heart. If you don't believe /like this video please just leave, we don't want toxic comment in here. FYI. Playing piano for these majestic animal is always privilege in Thailand since elephant is our national symbol.

❤

Si do I.

That's very true i think, and beautiful. 👍🧡🌱💜🌿

@Cult Mechanicus Please do not bring 'religion' everywhere . Though born a Hindu, I respect all the faiths. 'Religion' is a very complex subject , and it is not easy to define it , I think.Thank you for your comment.

I dont agree with Cult Mechanicus comment, however humans are not the same as elephants or any other animal, although it's awesome to see this guy in the presence of these incredible animals

Yes, we are all the same spark of life. We just occupy different vessels or bodies. We even share some DNA with them. Think about it, the same electric energy that powers a microwave also powers a TV, but the expression of that electric energy is different.

@@bennartey3409 Yes, it is the truth. The fact that the musician is looking at the musical notes placed in front of him, and playing real music to a revered listener proves it.

Very well said

It's easy to take it personally, eh? I love that Schumann piece and felt as though I was sharing the moment with that big, tough guy. Thanks, Mr. Barton! That old upright deserves a plaque, (if it makes its way out of the jungle).

An elephant can livein the wild even after domestication as they simply eat leaves and grass which is available everywhere and they have no predators.

@@shrujanamsyama9940I think Paul said sum have health issues & humans traumatized these poor beautiful souls plus nobody plays piano in the jungle. I like what he said, they shouldn't be in our service we should be in their's. 💞🐘 Much love xx 🌻

In case humanity so desperately need it, lets all go to play and sing music to elephants :)) I think humanity need to deal with wars, violence, starvation, pollution, etc. This is what humanity definitely desperately needs to do as fast as possible. While the playing with elephants is just an entertaining/sort of promotions, nothing more.

Leaves me in tears xx

Frank Sacriste Yes it is so very beautiful!!

If I played for a 80's Rock Group....? Would my Piano suffice?

Two intelligent species enjoying life.!! So lively

Lovely

Love and blessings

hah good one! Maybe Slipknot would consider a rythem section... in an elephant mask of course...

The government laws need to change and I just can't understand how laws are not forced to adhere to abolish cruelty, humans should be hung when mistreat animals.

@@lepen4652 yes definitely

Thailand is a beautiful country with beautiful people, but they have a long, long, long way to go in respecting other species and their precious environment. I can't stand to be there because of the animal abuse and pollution.

I very much like to lie down when I listen to classical music. The best way! Lol

@Will Pack Sad but true.

Feeding the spirit, I'm presuming.

You don't want to live the life they had to deserve this sweet treatment. If we could treat each other with this compasion and love, the word would be in paradise. Heaven... Women that are abused shoul get the same as these majestic creatures.

@@CarolynDenison exactly my point.

No, stop uploading these now, my tears and heart ache to this sweetness and my teeth numb to the sweetness and I hate that I actually do agree, never stop uploading this sweetness even though my tears may flow and my heart may ache and my teeth may break. It is simply sweet and divine to say the least.

Tuxedo Cat imagine how they hear the world....I wonder what beautiful sounds they hear that we simply cannot....

He hears the deep soul of Ludwig van Beethoven echoing through the ages. He prays silently to the elephant God to thank her for bringing him out of hell and planting him in paradise in his tired old age. It's a miracle.

Good point

I am also wondering about their putting their trunk on the (soil) ground, during music/while listening ; it might be out of relaxation ; but it might be too, perhaps, as Beethoven had to resort to when he became truely deaf, to get the body feeling of these lowest frequency sounds, transmitted through the ground, which elephants are known to hear further than we can and to use for group communication in the wild. Perhaps Paul has some experience to share on this ? just wondering... Regards and keep on the nice job

@hawkturkey No, it is not so much. Humans hear 16Hz-23kHz at best and elephants hear 12Hz-15kHz at best. Their ears are much more sensitive due to larger outer cavities, though.
