Yep. 20 seconds in when I read the first comment.

S.PatrickFishing RU-vid has everything ❤️

You're welcome TJ. Take care, and all the very best. 🙂

Please I beg you don’t take your life. My son did. You have NO idea the grief and loss he left behind. For family and friends. You are never alone. Tomorrow is ALWAYS another day !! I’m so glad this music helped you change your mind. Blessings and Love 💕🙏💜

@@angelagabrielle9694 you are too kind, and thank you so much for caring. I am so deeply sorry about your son, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain, I offered you my deepest condolences, and not to worry, I’m still here. Unfortunately, my problems are many, and are not easily solved, but I do have a wonderful therapist, and I take many medication’s. I still struggle, but I am surrounded by people all the time now, my spouse and my family will not let me be alone, because I told them to do that. I would never ever take my life with anyone around, so just to be safe, I make sure that I am always with at least one person if not more. It’s only when I spend a lot of time by myself, that those impulses return, because when you have all the Time in the world to think about everything that’s wrong, you can’t see clearly. I’m so guilty of that. From the age of 20 until now (I’m 54) I have undergone 37 gastrointestinal Surgeries, removing 95% of my entire G.I. tract. When I was 21, my large intestine ruptured while I was in the hospital, I died for three minutes, that was the beginning of my surgical journey. When they opened me up after they got my heart beating again, they found the cancer, malignant, intestinal cancer. It came back a total of four times, each time I had a 5% chance, each time I survived somehow. I was forced to go on permanent, long-term disability at the age of 46, left isolated alone at home, away from the world, and all of my friends and coworkers, who still have to be at work every day, while I sit at home alone because I’m too sick. In total, I’ve developed 15 chronic illnesses, most of which are side effects from all the surgery, the Crohn’s disease, the intestinal cancer, the chemotherapy, radiation, the medication, and all the therapy I had to go through. It’s just too much to type out, suffice it to say I’ve been through hell and back turning my life upside down and backwards. I’m just a former shell of who, and what I used to be as a young man, and there are days I wished to God that I didn’t survive, because it’s hard living with 15 chronic diseases. I take more medication than my elderly parents combined. I can barely eat anything, I can’t drink alcohol, basically I’m kept alive via IV, nutrition, and hydration. I have good days, and really bad days. What stands out the most is the months on end I’d spend in the hospital, literally crying myself to sleep every single night because I couldn’t stand the pain, depression, and hopelessness anymore, and the fact that I would never have a normal life ever again. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to dump this all on you, I just wanted you to understand why I said what I said. It is so hard, living like this. Never knowing what’s going to happen from one day to the next, I try so hard to remain positive, that’s why I have to have people around me all the time, because if I’m left alone, for too long, I have the ability to end my life very quickly and painlessly, via all the medical devices I rely on to survive, I simply flip a switch, and I’m done. But there’s another part of me that is mad as hell, and stubborn, refusing to give in to what’s been done to me. That’s the voice I listen to. Everyone’s story is a little different, but we all share one thing in common, hopelessness, a feeling, that nothing will ever make things any better, and that life is only going to get worse, I’m afraid that’s probably how your son felt, because I know a lot of friends that took their lives as well, including my best friend ever since we were children. I’m certain your son is still with you, and if you listen closely, I’ll bet you anything he’s leaving behind clues to let you know he’s still with you. When I died for those three minutes, I got to see the other side, it’s a long story, but if it helps, it’s a very beautiful place, something no words could ever describe, it’s called heaven for a reason, all the pain, all that hurts, everything that drove us over the line, is suddenly replaced by the most incredible feelings of love and joy and peace you could possibly imagine, permeating every single part of you. I have never ever felt that wonderful in my life. I saw my grandfather, who died when I was only eight, I loved him so much, and I never had the chance to say goodbye, because he died of a stroke, and my parents thought they were protecting me by not letting me see him, but the opposite was true. We ran to each other, hugging for what felt like hours. Time works differently on the other side, because I would’ve sworn I was there for at least an hour or two, in reality I was only dead for three minutes. I’ll never forget when my grandfather took a step back, look me in the eyes, and told me it was not yet my time, that I had a lot more work to do, I had a lot of people to help. I didn’t want to go back, I was only 21, but I was in so much agony for so long, I dreaded going back. He didn’t want me to go either, but he said the choice is not he has to make. After that all, I remember, is falling backwards for what felt like an eternity, until I woke up in my body in the ICU after a 10 hour operation to save my life, trying to figure out why someone stuck a balloon to my side, not realizing it was an ileostomy bag, the first of eight different ones I’ve had so far. There is a place on the other side, and it is beautiful. I hesitate telling the story, but given what you’ve been through, I was hoping it might help you feel a little better, knowing that your son, your precious boy, is truly at peace and with his family. For some reason they named John or Johnny is coming through in my head, did you know anyone by that name? Ever since I came back from the other side I came back with some pretty unique abilities that nobody believes, but names just popped into my head when talking about things like this, he wants you to know that he’s a piece, and then very happy. He also asked me to mention something about the coin, I have no idea what that means though. No, I’m not crazy, in fact, I think you’re about the fourth or fifth person, but I’ve learned when I get these messages, I’m supposed to pass them on. Regardless, if I’m right or wrong, just know he’s happy and at peace. And don’t worry about me, I’m not afraid of dying, because I know what awaits, but I have no plans of going anywhere anytime soon, I am not letting these damn diseases get the better of me! Sending love and light, TJ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Keep on...I wish you all the best and God bless you!

We ALL live in a world in which we are all living in a spiritual battle where Satan is smashing everything good and beautiful in our world , trying to turn out world into a living hell on earth!! try to accentuate the possitive and eliminate The negative !! keep love and hope alive in your hearts my friends . God bless !. p.s. beautiful music is fruit for the soul..

God blessed her abundantly. Be with her and blessed her throughout her life.

Couldn't have said that any better😊

Because she's so old you combine it with death and exclude all of her fresh experiences while she's still being alive omegalul

To summarize your life in six minutes is either really talented or really sad.

mdawnwright74 truly

She was great, but what a stupid comment.

😍

Her hands move beautifully. The song is lively and lovely. It's great that she is getting so much attention for her work and for her years of effort and practice. The song entices me. I hope we all can grow old and utilize our talents....and retain our health and lives. I wish that we did not need to worry about the future of our lives.

IKR and even more impressive for me, is the fact that there’s an incredible understanding of resolution and pure beauty. She’s not doing random improvisation. She’s looking for aesthetics, she’s shaping emotion into melody. She’s really, seriously talented.

Amazing comment...

I can barely play 'Mary had a little Lamb'...

Makes me cry.

Exactly 😍

Absolutely, it's more than a talent, it's her passion!!

what soul?

Made me cry because of joy... Generous and passionate spirit..

@R J Do you often have fecal matter stuck in your nostrils? I mean, it's not an excuse for trash comments but i can understand that it's frustrating to be in your situation. You may actually be the first case of being so far up one's own ass that you're spiraling into yourself. Like a viscious cycle of utter shit.

@R J I'm all against people making uneducated comments, but to call this garbled garbage is a bit of an elitist behavior that I don't agree with either

R J dare I ask are you a trained classical musician? How many years have you „mastered“ your instrument? Hmm

Agree 100%!!!! She can come live with me in Texas. Reminds me of listening to my granny and Gma play as a child I'd spend hours listening to jam session of piano and then piano and organ at the same time. My gma jammed on both at the same time!

@@Matthewtrayling I live in Italy, but I would like to see her and listen to her playing piano...she is so sweet, and made my wife cry with her music. Me too. I hope she is fine.

That's such a cliché! I go to a concert or to the opera at least twice a month, and it's really cheap, especially for students! You can listen to a world famous musician for like 30 bucks.

@@RandolphCrane that's alot. Thats a week of groceries. Thats 2 new outfits. a full tank of gas, or a copay at the doctors. A new pair of shoes.

@@rob-dq7sv Shoes for 30 bucks?! Tell me your source, I pay at least 500. But apart from that, spending 30 bucks per month on a concert, on high-quality music, isn't something just for rich people. It's for people who know their priorities, and who don't complain that concerts are just for rich people when, in fact, instead of buying a bottle of booze, they could easily affort going to a concert.

@@RandolphCrane if I had 500 to spend on what ever I want, i would give it to my mom. Or my savings account. You sound so out of touch. its funny.

@@rob-dq7sv I think you are entirely missing the point, but whatever.

@R J when they created their music it would have been on the spot too at some point. certainly not mangled garbage as you call it. if so why?

@R J what on earth are you on about? The composers you mentioned probably wrote, rewrote and rewrote again for "your" perfection. She is playing a random piece on a street keyboard and you are saying she is no good. Well she is far better than me, reading comments whilst she played was an excellent talent. Go back to listening to you "pros" as you probably one of these people that have no ability to be individual and are persuaded by adverts etc. Anyway far more people appreciate her talent, suck it up.

@@allothernamesbutthis he is just jealous of her

R J holy shit just shut the fuck up, who the hell shit in your pants you arrogant swine

@D Bear you are so right, I do apologise but I was so caught up in the moment and the magic of this woman.

@D Bear "she's like something" is not an insult nor is it taking away from her humanity, chill.

@@Noah-ug6nu YOU chill, it's called class,respect, honor ! We ALL must think before we speak and act. I'd assume you're just very young, if not someone failed you. Everyone IS different and most would find her words very disrespectful....true story.

@@shanghunter7697 what Emily rose sparkles commented was literally intended as a compliment but youre too uptight and afraid of offending people to see that.

@@shanghunter7697 It also wouldn't be accurate to say "she's like someone from a Tim Burton film" because Tim Burton movies have fake characters who aren't human.

@D M I don't think one has to write the music one is playing to be classified as a genius! Genius in my definition of the word is someone who creates something new and entirely their own and in her case it seems spontaneous and in the moment. I might be wrong and she may have worked on this piece before and came up with the rendition she is playing in this particular recording. About to check out the definition of genius!

I don’t have a music degree. Music transcends race religion creed and country. This takes my breath away

I got two degrees and didn’t rely on music as my only source of income. I am now retired and play two single acts per week. I watch our culture talk while real music is before them. It used to bother me but know I play for me. I get paid and I get 10% of the audience fully in my world.

I think you just wanted to tell everyone you had a degree. Good for you. 👍😉 Your medals are in the post.

Hey dumb shit I have two degrees I was simply saying how much I appreciated her talent. Did you take music appreciation in 1rst grade Divk

I believe she will in her new body. Praying she has her needs met here on earth.

pap pop it’s beautiful but it’s a haunting song. But that’s what GOOD music does. Makes you feel a certain type of way. I’m just relearning piano and this lovely woman is talented beyond words.

Sad maybe because is something incredible from someone who is closer to their end than us, and it hits you right in the face, the beauty of efemerical things, and her playing the piano for everyoane is a living methaphor for our own existance, give people that soround you meaning, in this void of meaniglessness

@Val O'Brien IF, you made it to that lady's age, I doubt that you'd even be able to play chopsticks on the piano.

@Val O'Brien are you sure you didn't play a brass instrument, because by the sounds of it, you love to tut your own horn. You missed my point, it wasn't about everything you've done thus far, it's whether or not you'll even have the strength and will at that age. You were commenting like a judge on a talent show. Its just a old lady playing on a street piano. Lighten up a little.

@Val O'Brien Sir, your perspective is very biased. You say that you were taught at an early age Alfred Cortot's interpretation of technique on a piano. However, many could say that Alfred Cortot's interpretation of technique is absolute rubbish because of the way they've been taught. Technique is subjective, and there is no such thing as "very poor" technique. Very much like how Lang Langs interpretation of certain Mozart pieces, which some say he made them too Chopin. However, others say that it was interpreted correctly The piano she is using is a Roland FP-4, a digital piano that while doesn't have strings, uses very complex and complicated algorithms to produce the same sound a grand-piano would have. As this isn't a grand piano it doesn't sound the same. However, it still has the same things: Hammer Action Pedal Action (Although, it is admittedly half-action) Touch responsiveness (Harder you press, more amplified sound/more reverb) When a key is pressed sound comes out of it. If you think about it, a String piano has a predetermined sound aswell, if you press Middle C, it produces a pitch equivalent to 261.626 Hz. A digitial piano produces the same effect. While reverb is different, both pianos have it. So, while it may not produce the exact same sound, they require almost the same amount of technique, finger-movement, and knowledge of music theory. And you got something wrong, I don't want to hear anyone play the piano. I want to hear the music that is produced by the piano. Player, Age, etc, doesn't matter. All that matters is what it produces. Essentially, the point I am making is that the entirety of your argument isn't based on her skills, it seems to be based upon your hatred for older people and quite possibly your inability to accept others skills as equal or fair. I do not doubt that you have amazing skill in the piano, but a fellow pianist who truly loves music should never attack someone for what they play, how they play it, and how they interpret it.

Dereck your vision of music il absolutely perfect. Thanc you for this wonderful answer.

This is purely heart moving🙏

Shit, she just freelanced that, omg

I wish I can have the same attitude about growing old as you later in life. 🙏

Yup! So very true You can tell that she truly tells a story with her music. There is such depth and emotion within those keys.... And the fact that she can even play with fingers like that is literally shocking. ❤️
