Piano-playing Street Performer Brings Audience to Tears | Extraordinary People | New York Post 

As a professional piano mover hats off for this guy. Wheel a concert grand 800lbs piano 4 times a week for the sake of touching people’s soul, I’m speechless.

Knowing you push that grand piano alone almost everyday across the city already makes me wanna cry.

This is insane. He could've just gotten an upright piano, but the fact that he carries around a grand piano shows his dedication to music.

man truly brings complete random strangers together, wish the world was filled with people like him

I've always encouraged my children toward one single lifetime goal: "Make your corner of the world a better place because you were in it." This guy lives that idea in the most exemplary fashion.

Something about the piano that just reaches deep into your core and pulls out the emotions you don't deal with. And for that I love it.

What a great thing to offer the public, many will never have the chance to experience a first class pianist live and by doing this allowing people like me a chance to appreciate. Such a selfless act of beneficence thank you sir.

This guy is doing more for people than he can imagine

What a beautiful way to show love to a very lost world....God bless you x

Moving 800 pound of positive vibes to erase billion pounds of Negative vibes. Respect to this musician who choses to comfort all walks of life from different complication problems. Peace 😊

Wheeling the piano in nyc traffic deserves an applause in itself

Thank you for healing the world. You are an angel.

When I lived by Washington Square Park, I'd come see you everyday. I miss it now, but I'm glad you're still doing it.

The world needs more people like you, real music is what needs to be listened to

What a wonderful human being. In times like we are now living we need more like him to protect and nurture our inner peace.

Music activates all emotions and senses in our body

The world is a better place with these kinds of artists and maybe all artists.

Simply fabulous a gift He's willing to share with everyone.

Take a bow Colin Huggins. You are such a talented,kind, generous,and remarkable human being. I am proud and fortunate that you are a fellow New Yorker.

So sooo grateful my mother introduced me to classical music. It was such a constant in my home as a child.

nothing can be more fulfilling than a master playing for some ordinary people in the streets who could never buy tickets for such a performance!!

Beautiful. Your a beautiful person. Thank you very much.

That makes me cry just seeing that, that man will go to Heaven because he brings joy to all those people!

this guy deserves so much more recognition.

Thank you for retriggering me wanting to play music for people again. So touching.

Laying under a grand piano while classical music is played would be an emotional experience for me as well. Analog speaks to me deeply.

Pretty amazing.... My grandmother played beautifully I took her to a retirement home . She set at the piano and I saw all of the elderly come to life. It was magic they set up eyes opened and they came aware and alive.The power of music is a gift we give ourselves and others. Tku .✌

*MUSIC.* - *The absolute **_borderless language_** of our species! . . . .* Thank you Colin!!! 🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓

I’ve always wanted to put my ear on the piano while a great performer played it. But laying under it......🤯. Please don’t change for anyone. Stay just the way you are🙏🏽

When I was a child I used to lie under the piano for hours, while my father was playing ... mostly Chopin and Debussy. I became a musician. Now these days he is dying soon and this video touched me deeply. 😭

When u put your heart ❤️ n soul to something,nothing or nobody can stop you” its called love n Passion

Thank you for caring about other people and sharing your gifts and talents with them. People like you really do make a difference.

There's just something about the sound of a piano... beautiful!

Beautiful. This musician has a gift of cleansing bodies, ridding negative energy by extracting tears. Amazing one of a kind. His dedication is impenetrable. Bless his soul. Thank you to whomever took the time to document this gentleman

tears after just a few minutes of watching this amazing person bring beauty into other's lives. Bravo!

Music is the international language that everyone understands and agrees with.... We need more of it for sure.

The world is blessed by his humble gift. His talent is extraordinary, and his devotion in making a difference is so inspiring! Congratulations!!!!

Thank you for bringing your talent and your piano to the people.

No words to describe what a gift this man is to humanity

Music is the language of the ANGELS ! Thank-you for making the World a Better Place ;} Cheers from Canada.

God Bless you for sharing your talent and music with all of us. Thank you.

This guy restores some of my faith in humanity... the world needs lots more of this

MUSIC HEALS THE WORLD. THROUGH MUSIC PEOPLE COME TOGETHER.

I have no words for this just tears of joy and appreciation for music and how it mutes all the negativity out . I have to go see this guy , hope he’s still in NYC during covid

He must have such a fulfilling and beautiful life. I'm so glad he shares that with others.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'm deeply moved watching his soul gift the souls of others.

I had the great pleasure of meeting him the at the square a few years ago, where at a much earlier age I squandered my youth playing frisbee in the 60's. lol He's great

We saw him last year when we were at the park and impressed us. We stayed to watch 👌🏻

When I was younger I was diagnosed with a debilitating disease which caused spinal fluid to build up and put pressure on my brain, I would get these long last migraines and would end up in the hospital for weeks on end. One of the few things that actually seemed to calm me and let my mind settle was having the piano play. The nurses would wheel me down to the lobby, make up a little bed under the piano and I'd just lay there and listen to everything around me. It was amazing. Like your heart is swelling and about ready to burst but your so full of joy and happyness and yet it still calms you And all you can do is let the music sink into your body and soul. It's a absolutely breath taking experience. And I thank all of you that bring such passion and love through music into this world. I know it helped me tremendously.

Thank you sir...for making our world a better one!..

This guy is great. I’m in NYC and have sat and watched him several times. Why talented. Must admit the first time I saw him what impressed me was he had a baby grand in the park. Fantastic and friendly. You will realize an hour went by in no time.

The Best and Most Beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched.. They are felt by the heart

This guy deserves an Oscar for the effect that his music has on people. It's a diseased world we live in but once in a blue moon someone comes along and changes people's feelings. Good man keep it up and you could change hostility to civility mate.

Your dream is incredibly beautiful and I love you for dreaming it, living it, and sharing it

Thank you. There IS still beauty left in the world.

Wow. I’m speechless. You are an amazing guy. You show the beautiful side of humanity.

I have a baby grand and they are heavy !!! Bless his heart. He is a gift to this city.....You have to love this guy ❤️

Your unselfishness makes me cry. Thank you.

I think this guy is wonderful. I just love this originality and the love flowing through him and his music.

Ahh... the vibration... tapping into the sense of our true selves in the spirit world before we began our Human incarnation on Earth... Such love brings us to tears.

One day this guy ought to have his own biopic or something. We need more people like this on our planet, cruel enough place as it is.

That's Piano Dude! I sit and listen to him often. He's great!

More power to you Colin Huggins ... imagine our world if everyone could experience your music personally as part of their day ... wonderful world that would be

I love people who are genuine and do great things like this in the world...No most people wouldn't dream of doing this, but what a unique experience he gives to all sharing his incredible talent, making people's day just a little bit happier...just think if everyone gave just a little bit of their incredible gifts to the world like this:) - hats off to you Colin...

Wow! What an impressive young man. Thank you, truly.

If all human are passionate as him, this world would be heaven.

The piano is probably the most beautiful and powerful instruments ever.

A noble thing to do, sharing one's talent especially music, for a cause and for the benefit of mankind.

This proves one thing Music erases the dust and pain of everday's life Thanks

Keep doing what your doing. Bringing people together in a positve way, and healing them with energy of sound!! Brava!!

When I was a child my grandmother had a baby grand in her house and we would always lay under it that was such a special place 👍🏻👏🏻

You a very special person Colin Wat u do moves mountains for a few It means so much ..much love and strength

This man has my dream job. I aspire to be as wholesome and has helpful as this wonderful man is.

The world needs more people and places like this in these trying times.❤

Thank you for your service and kindness.🙏🌺 listening today, on Mother’s Day while mourning my mom but was able to calm my emotions!🙏

This is celled "Passion" it's absolutely magnificent beauty 🌹💕👍😊💕✌💕💖💕

DEEP RESPECT! A Blessed Soul he talks and plays music from his heart sharing his Gift with others without expecting anything in return. Namaste from Holland.

A true artist bringing joy to others.

When you hear people saying "Making the world a better place bit by bit" .... To me, this is one of the things that make this world more beautiful, LOVE it!

Wow...... This is so emotional. But how does he keep the tune of the piano with all those movements and transportation?!

music is a way to heal negativity. Incredible job👍✌👏⭐🙏

An amazing soul. Spread the Love!!!!

I love it. Not just the music, but also the meaning behind it. That part makes it great and very special.

I've always said, "Music is the Key to the Universe". It can bring us together and make you feel emotions you never knew were there. God's greatest gift to man.

It's truly amazing how people feel the emotion in his music, even Ive been in tears, and he certainly engages with people and has a caring nature too.

Tears purifies your soul....beautiful feeling

As a fellow musician this video kept me in tears. There's nothing more beautiful than a musician who pours his heart and soul along with the crowds reactions and emotions into the piece they're playing. It brings the music to life. Words are not needed to feel the emotions of music

How could anyone give this a thumbs down People just don't care for one another any more nor do they see the amazing HEART of certain individuals Mr. Huugins you are Blessed and thank you for the JOY you bring.........................................

A true blessing for people

I used to watch him play in Washington Square Park all the time. I have videos on my phone still from like 8 years ago of him playing

Just one of the worlds beautiful people. Thank you 😊

This is what it's about...touching others with your art...

Truly inspirational, what a genuine person.

My word, what have I just watched? It made my eyes leak. On a serious note, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen on RU-vid.

Music always brings people together. It brings tear of joy to people and sadness because it's felt from the heart. It reminds us of the past and all the memories we shared with people that we care and love, and perhaps they are now no longer here in our lives but the music lives on.

I got emotional, starting with you moving your piano. Your musicality coupled with the crowds reactions and that you care about those in that crowd, wowed me and just blew me away. I hope all your dreams come true.

This makes my heart soar, sing, dance, laugh, cry, love and love even more and even deeper !!!! Bless the music and those who perform it !!! Bless this pianist !!!

The world needs more people like you.

This takes a Lot of Heart!!! This is one man. He is making a difference. He is bringing love and care to people. Most amazing, a 800 pound piano. Big salute to you sir. Bless the world.
