I did play and sing recently on the streets in Rome, it's a very intense experience, nobody claps at you but many look at you with gratefulness, sometimes police will tell you to go away, it's not easy but it's amazing.
You also couldn't hear anyone passing. I find it hard to believe this wasn't studio recorded, because of the sound quality and absence of background noise (it can be removed, I know, but so completely?) and the video montage. Not that it takes anything away, and peyote weren't clapping (you can see it) but even if someone was, you wouldn't hear him.
what is more "holy shit" is how nobody stopped to listen. I've missed reservations when I passed a proper street performer. although she was lovely and had a glowing violin
TheDissmaster10 the thing is that people in Sweden are, awkward, really awkward, badly awkward even... If you noticed the people that were staying and listening, you'd see that they kept their distance and didn't come to close; this is because we in Sweden kind of just give each other more space than what you do in, let's say America. It's basically a respectful thing, if you go to close to a Swede, it will either be seen as hostile, rude, or sexual (depending on the mood ofcourse😅).
Late answer but swedish people is much like this, unfortunately. They go about their day minding their own business. This is the general perception but also true.
@@imperialraijin not everyone can stop and listen because they have to rush to work, or wherever they have to be... this is what the worlds about. Its a beautiful masterpiece but some people dont have the time to stop, its not that they dont have a heart :)
@theConnorGamer Relax. I’m totally aware that people have place to go or things to be done. It was sarcastic comment just to show how great this guy is.
They have probably heard him sing that song every night for years im not sure if you have ever been homeless or hung out with street musicians but the majority of them have one or two polished money maker songs but not much else
This man proves that we are the ones who make the wrong people famous. Whereas real talent like this guy has to sing in the streets where nobody even pays you attention
He is good for sure but keep in mind that's the song of another artist. There are a lot of good singers or musicians like him but a few can create this kind of song. Well.. i'm saying this but i can atleast agree that he probably deserves more fame than music labels products.
U came here to watch him sing someone elses song. Could it be that his own songs just dont cut it? I assume ur not referencing the cranberries with the wrong people comment, easily one of the best bands of the last 30 years
Brendan, I didn't know this man either but NOW! I know who he is,. LOL He is a millionaire. Do you remember Anne Lennox with the Eurythmics? He was her lead guitar player and he is a song writer. He is Awesome.
3 minutes turns to 10-20 minutes late when it comes to NYC traffic, sorry bro I should tell my boss that I was late cause I decided to stop and listen to a street musician 🤣🤣
Places to go, things to do. I can listen to the original with my headphones on my way to work. As Panini said, losing my job because I was late because I had to slow down and listen to this is a dumb move. I also can't play guitar, so I couldn't even do what this guy is doing to cover the bills once I lose my job.
@@tigermunky I dunno, that seems to be recorded during an evening. (Referring to this video) Only a handful of people work @ night shifts. Most people just can't be bothered to listen.
You guy's can't force us what to like and dislike You are the idiots for insulting the people who dislike this. God forbid if people have a different vision than your self
XhizorBE why would you involve things like religion, i will never blame someone for liking or not liking something, especially music, i can’t blame you if you don’t like old songs like this or classic music or idk. open your mind and your eyes, i don’t celebrate Christmas anymore because i don’t see the point anymore, everyone i loved is gone, but if you’re speaking about god then be ”good” how everyone pretend to be in this period
9 years later and still top 3 best renditions of this song. This guy pours his heart out and it’s awesome! Thank you mister, I hope to meet you one day, helped me through some tough sh?t. Better than original maybe…. Ohhhhh shnikey ya I said it! Ha ha well done brother
Dude playing his heart out, and doing a phenomenal job, while the world walks by him. Sad. Take a moment, stop, listen, and appreciate the greater things in life.
@@connormacsweeney6289 Its in sweden where 99% of the population speaks english. Its just a very swedish thing to keep distance to others even when they are playing music like this.
@@followingjc1859 Not just that, the song is an apology song from the Irish (who had no blame in it, but the Cranberries felt that the irish / british stance in northern Ireland had caused these deaths, so they at least had some role in it) in regard to the recent IRA attacks that caused the deaths of 2 young boys in England. The entire song is about the stupidity of the whole conflict, "it's the same old theme since 1916 (the easter uprising).
God bless !!! I saw him 20 years ago in Stockholm and I finally found him again thanks to u ....I’m crying 😭 , u could hear him miles away ... god bless u !!!.
34 years old father of 3 boys...within the last 5 years I have lost my mom and older brother...thought I was stronger now...listened to this cover an it brought me to tears...had a moment of reflection in life's mirror...time to get back on track!!!
They say that grief is just the love you can't give to the lost anymore; the fix is to love those that we have now even more fiercely. My most sincere condolences
This is buy far my favorite version of this song, including the original. I am a Cranberries fan but this version haunts my dreams! What a pleasure to listen to.
I always hated the cranberries and this song in particular. But when Dave does it, it's not only making sense, it's beautiful. Indeed what a pleasure to listen to.
KilliKonKarnage he does not have the x factor, because he clearly does not have the whole package. and thats what the x factor is. he's just a good singer and guitar player.
for sure im not just walking past if i ever hear anyone singing zombie like this, im stopping to listen to all of it and putting whatever cash i happen to have in my wallet in their guitar case
Shopping bags full, hearts and souls empty. Sad folks can't pause for a minute to see the beauty around them. Thank you !! to all the street performers who continue to try and open our eyes and ears and hearts.
yeah and your kind is the worst, sitting at home on a high horse, acting like you know what is going on with other people, what they think hear or see. the thing is i dont even believe all of you (i mean all off 6000 comments saying exactly the same) rly believe the nonsense you spew its just that you see that it gets upvotes and repeat that shit. but if you do believe what you say its just even more sad.
What really got me is how he instantly put his hands into his pockets after the performance. His hands were probably half frozen but he just kept playing. Beautiful
Thomas M it wasn’t meant for the tens or maybe hundreds who walked by during this performance. It’s meant for me. For you and the millions of others who have enjoyed it for what it is.
Well, I'm simplifying of course but generally speaking, Sweden is known for having a society that's very reserved and aware of personal space. Not everybody will interfere or invest energy to involve themselves into these random, spontaneous activities. People in Sweden really do mind their own business haha. Ps: I can also say that even if it has not so many constructive aspects as a society regarding social interaction, it is a beautiful country! people are indeed lovely once you get to know them(it's worth investing time in doing so) and aesthetically speaking people living in Sweden are likely to look slender and fit. hope this helped :)
"The song was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, 3, and Tim Parry, 12, who had been killed in the IRA bombing in Warrington, northwest England, when two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated." You just sound pretentious tbh
probably because most walking by don't speak English making so they don't hear it like we do, be gibberish to them that and it's cold enough to see his breath...probably why most just keep moving
Well, most people under 55 in Western Europe are pretty good in English. But even if I wouldn´t understand one word, his singing is enormous soulful and emotional. It is not the words, that make this performance so special.
пересматриваю в который раз и опять один и тот же вопрос - почему этот пельмешек не в топе, не на музыкальных каналах? морщь идет от сердца напрямую, такое редко увидишь на эстраде, а найти можно только среди кучи шлака на ютубе....
Well, that's stockholm Sweden. Every one is busy, eveyone is in a hurry. No one turns an eye to anyway. No one talk unless you have to. Everything is cold. All the way to the heart.
What makes my heart Cry is that nobody stopped to listen to this iconic song, or realise who was singing this song. Dolores, I hope you are in a place where you are at peace. We miss you and your beautiful voice.
Such a cool twist having people walk with no direction in the background. They are the true zombies, I will never not stop for something that touches your soul regardless what you’re doing.
This is the best Zombie cover. He sings with emotion and soul. Tears came as I saw him put his hands inside his pockets to warm them up after singing the song. Best regards dear musician. Hats off to you!!!
I disagree, he left all the power Delores and the Cranberries put into the song that made it so good. Bad Wolves did a really good cover IMO, but they might be to heavy for some people.
I've listened to this song a million times, but I feel like I just really heard it - really truly heard it - for the first time. Thanks so much for sharing.
he knows how to make a wonderful song like this to own with his singing talent with respect to the underrated band cranberries 🙏🙏🙏 and that's talent legally with humility... salute to this man
Mr. Stewart…. You are a gift to more of us than you realize. I wish I was on this street, this night while you poured out your soul. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Convenience is the greatest fuel of this, everyones agenda is more important in the now. To be fair how many of these 7 million views have prolly done the exact same thing irl but go on youtube and watch videos such as this? I would wager alot, the bigger problem is the inability to stop, breathe and recognize beauty in everything.
Wow he is amazing! But he is not the only one in the world,there are so much other unknown great musicians who don't even get an applause from the crowd like this dude at the end,so sad to see these talents and don't could give them an opportunity to become famous...
GuitarSinger imagine how much better life would be if all the people who deserved to be heard were heard, instead of the shit we get rammed down are throats nowadays!
Never mind the money, how in the fuck does people not take a minute from their life and stay by and have a listen for a masterpiece like this when its offered to you for free😳
This is the most PURE soul drenched lyrics Ive heard in a long time...he delivers a riff played from the very heart strings he plays from. Seriously hands down best cover ever brought to the streets... I live in Australia and I'd go to any Street in the world to hear him live.
один из лучших каверов zombie которые я слышал! видимо все потому что мужик душу вкладывает в исполнение,поет не голосом,а сердцем. Да простят меня поклонники группы "Кино" за сравнение,но видимо Cranberries станет зарубежным аналогом нашей легенды...
When you pass this man, without even notice his words and play, you're actualy a zombie.... Focus on shoping being busy with themselfs, without hearing one of the best and emotional song ever written, gives me a feeling people are bloody egocentric these days. Man people these days are robots.
Well he should be playing on a plaza or an open space where people could stay and watch. It's such a annoyance when people are crowding up a street when you need to pass. But hey, maybe he earns more money if more people are passing by
Some of the best music was and still is being performed for free right on the street, some of the best shows you’ll ever see are free and people don’t even care, this guy did so amazing, thank god he can upload this to TH-cam so people who appreciate true music and musicians can see this,
As someone who has performed in public I have experienced big crowds with little income or especially in Scandinavian countries people just walking by but the tips were GREAT. I must say I prefer the latter, it gets you a good meal, a comfy bed and money for the next train ticket.
I come back to this video every now and than, I’m so shocked how many zombies walked by. Like nobody jumped in to add harmony? He’s phenomenal, away from the mic someone could have added high notes. This song is a classic, and this dude just covered it with utter perfection!! I’d be jumping up and down to sing with him!
How can you expect every person in the world to want to stop for that, just because you want to? You walk by things too, that other people find too good to pass by. People have things to do, and performances like this are all over the place all the time.
@@peterwhitey4992 thank you for your answer... You don't understand that what you are saying is the problem of society... people have things to do ect... take the 3minutes and relax and show respect for this art... and you can't find such a singer on every corner... you are very bitter... maybe I can help you
Even if I couldn't afford to donate anything I would be sat opposite watching his performance. I discovered this video a year or 2 ago and I still cant get enough of it
There is something enchanting about this video.. The guy, the hoodie, the warm, Christmas atmosphere, the guitar ... the whole lot of it alltogether. It's magical! Not to forget the great interpretation of the song. Simply one of the youtube's gems!
Swedes have always been known to be introvert and not so social, getting to close to someone is not in our natural habitiat. But, as you get to know us. We'll show you a whole other side. Although, i'd stop and listen and show him my respect. BUT, defending the swedes. We are probably some of the more introvert people of the world, and we're not used to the american social aspect of things. Let's just say he choose the wrong country ;)
I mean some people got shit to do lol. I’d stop if I could but I’m not sure how people with busy lives drives any point home. Are they supposed to stop and miss whatever they have going and be like oh my god, we need to show support for anti terrorism or we ourselves will be terrorist!
yeap, but it's Stockholm main pedestrian street with all the gift-shops, so probably, there are more tourists than natives. Dave said that he gets more money from people he sees frequently other than from tourists. also, some people might have been uncomfortable with me running around him with big camera)

If I was among the people who passed I would have liked to stay and appreciate this beautiful voice till the end
wow it's really amazing
❤
yeah, I've stopped for a few hours to film it all;)
;) you really did a nice job too ,I appreciate it .
just keep up this great work :)
thx, this inspires))

Alex Fomin. I would love a cd so I could listen to the amazing songs from this very talented man.
Singing Zombie in front of Zombies.
Allison Mantrone-Cardinal if that isn’t truth!
Mobile phone zombies
They aren't zombies just Swedes.
Deep.
Haha too true!
This is terrific! How no one stopped to listen is beyond me
nick spoto There were some people in the back that stopped
Sadly the World we live in were always in a rush We never stop and enjoy something
I liked it.
must be strange to live in a city full of deaf people
Because they are 08 or (if you are from stockholm then you are a 08)
Something about this cover that’s so magical
Sad how many don’t stop and listen. Buskers are the best thing about town centres.
100%
пересматриваю в который раз и опять один и тот же вопрос - почему этот пельмешек не в топе, не на музыкальных каналах? морщь идет от сердца напрямую, такое редко увидишь на эстраде, а найти можно только среди кучи шлака на ютубе....
Согласен, такие должны быть на мировых сценах
Когда кавер не уступает оригиналу

great version of this song. great voice.. would love to hear him sing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man". I think the voice would fit perfect.
I live in Asheville, NC. We love our buskers. We always stop to listen to the amazing talent.
michael hillyard. me to
Well, that's stockholm Sweden. Every one is busy, eveyone is in a hurry. No one turns an eye to anyway. No one talk unless you have to. Everything is cold. All the way to the heart.
What makes my heart
Cry is that nobody stopped to listen to this iconic song, or realise who was singing this song. Dolores, I hope you are in a place where you are at peace. We miss you and your beautiful voice.
I just can't understand how people keeps on walking ignoring such Freedom!
you mean these zombies? ;)
exactly ;)
At least a few of them stood and listened. Good for them.
wish i was there :")
'tis cold mate
This is the best version I've ever heard of this song! Can't stop listening to it
You mean best cover version? Can’t beat the original
❤
That was so good I have to watch it again
i did it 3 000 000 times xD again and again
Some songs need to be sung with power & feeling
Not just words....
Salute you sir...
RIP Dolores.
His voice embodies the cry of the song. Beautiful.
This is the absolutly best version of this song.
The voice , the style, it's so deep and beautiful and sad.
Unbelievable.
Miley cyrus does a good cover believe it or not haha
Totally 👍 🙆♂️ 💯 👍
i`m crying hearing this cover... too much emiotions. awesome. thank You.
Fuck your picture xD
Nice picture
Such a cool twist having people walk with no direction in the background. They are the true zombies, I will never not stop for something that touches your soul regardless what you’re doing.
Шикарное исполнение! Народ, а как у него гитара настроена! На улице последнее время редкость такое
This is the best Zombie cover. He sings with emotion and soul. Tears came as I saw him put his hands inside his pockets to warm them up after singing the song. Best regards dear musician. Hats off to you!!!
I 100% agree you you!
Yup I absolutely agree with you.
I disagree, he left all the power Delores and the Cranberries put into the song that made it so good. Bad Wolves did a really good cover IMO, but they might be to heavy for some people.
OH MY His cover is the best!!!! SUch powerful voice , such emotion !!!! LOve itttttt and he put his own little twist to it uuuhhh perfect!!!
What a fantastic version of this legendary song.
Absolutely love this, and both guitar and vocals are so in harmony.
👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌
He's actually singing well, hitting the notes clearly enough and giving strong feeling of the original song. Well done sir!
Dave Stewart : " what's in your head ? "
People : "Money "
This is sad
True sadly
1 zombie with yellow bag on 1:21 )))

I've listened to this song a million times, but I feel like I just really heard it - really truly heard it - for the first time. Thanks so much for sharing.
it speaks to the soul
Ohh dear. You don't think much of Dolores huh. Sad.
The violence causes silence!!!
he knows how to make a wonderful song like this to own with his singing talent with respect to the underrated band cranberries 🙏🙏🙏 and that's talent legally with humility...
salute to this man
Бляяя, надо быть реальным зомби, что бы пройти мимо и не послушать в живую это исполнение. Респект мужику, очень душевно и нереально круто спел.
+
об этом и песня..( что все мы в той или иной степени зомби...
Согласен збсь спел.
Yes iam agree whit you at 100%
Ну у нас в России тоже мимо над хорошими песнями проходят. Так же и там
Этот дядька шедевральный, много чего выдает, косящий под бомжа, но профессионализм не скроешь, это профессиональный Музыкант с большой буквы!
I keep coming back to this cover year after year. What I would do just to be a fly on the wall during this performance...beautifully done sir ❤️
I'm the same. Don't normally like covers of this song, but this one got a hold of me. Someone actually did this song justice.
come and listen again🥺😅
Beautiful 👍🏼👍🏼 I do too I am always looking this cover up, totally mind blowing. You words are spot on too ✌🏻✌🏻
Weird time to come back to rite now. Hella bombs and kids being killed and shown on tv.
I wish he would do an acoustic album
Mr. Stewart…. You are a gift to more of us than you realize. I wish I was on this street, this night while you poured out your soul. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
3:17 girl almost falls, but the sound she makes fits perfectly into the song.
I was looking for this comment :D
I was scrolling down searching for this comment. haha
A bit like Song 2 and the squeaky turnstile!
skankhunt42 spotters badge😂 Brilliant 👍
LoL thats what i was searching for in the comments xD
11 million views but not a single applause, he just warms his hands up, thats grace.
6.8 mill on TH-cam appreciates this talent, barely one person had the time to stop and listen on the streets. Soo sad
Convenience is the greatest fuel of this, everyones agenda is more important in the now. To be fair how many of these 7 million views have prolly done the exact same thing irl but go on youtube and watch videos such as this? I would wager alot, the bigger problem is the inability to stop, breathe and recognize beauty in everything.
yup true that...soooo sad :'(
@@aarons194 So true, i noticed this about 2 months ago... Now when walking through town i try and stop and listen/watch for a while.
There are people watching, it's just because of the angle it was filmed at. Editing decision to make it seem more heartfelt (nothing wrong with that).
People are so much in a hurry to get where they're going instead of enjoying the journey getting there
Wow he is amazing! But he is not the only one in the world,there are so much other unknown great musicians who don't even get an applause from the crowd like this dude at the end,so sad to see these talents and don't could give them an opportunity to become famous...
GuitarSinger imagine how much better life would be if all the people who deserved to be heard were heard, instead of the shit we get rammed down are throats nowadays!
yeah man!! But we can only immagine it,unfortunately it´s not possible,like there aren´t enough jobs for all the people in the world :S
GuitarSinger
Trust me, it's better for them to remain like this.
One of the most beautiful covers of this song
I really can’t understand how you could walk past this artist and not stop and throw in a donation
How much cash did you donate to this guy?
@@sirloin7633 He cant past for him!
@@Barthezbl speak english ....
because, some people can hear, but only a few can listen a real talent
Never mind the money, how in the fuck does people not take a minute from their life and stay by and have a listen for a masterpiece like this when its offered to you for free😳
i dont understand how people can walk by ignoring such a beautiful performance. I would stand by him listening and singing with him. best cover ever..
I listen to this interpretation of the song at least once a day. It’s like medicine.
Soo true and so good.
How can anyone just walk by???? He's a universe gift!!!!!💫💙💙💙🤍
This is the most PURE soul drenched lyrics Ive heard in a long time...he delivers a riff played from the very heart strings he plays from. Seriously hands down best cover ever brought to the streets... I live in Australia and I'd go to any Street in the world to hear him live.
Brasil 2019
один из лучших каверов zombie которые я слышал! видимо все потому что мужик душу вкладывает в исполнение,поет не голосом,а сердцем. Да простят меня поклонники группы "Кино" за сравнение,но видимо Cranberries станет зарубежным аналогом нашей легенды...
Получается Cranberries двойная копирка на Smiths и Cure
When you pass this man, without even notice his words and play, you're actualy a zombie....
Focus on shoping being busy with themselfs, without hearing one of the best and emotional song ever written, gives me a feeling people are bloody egocentric these days.
Man people these days are robots.
Well he should be playing on a plaza or an open space where people could stay and watch. It's such a annoyance when people are crowding up a street when you need to pass. But hey, maybe he earns more money if more people are passing by
no, they are zombies. :)
Some of the best music was and still is being performed for free right on the street, some of the best shows you’ll ever see are free and people don’t even care, this guy did so amazing, thank god he can upload this to TH-cam so people who appreciate true music and musicians can see this,
He’s singing this to all the zombies blindly walking by.
Dang.. that's pretty deep
That's exactly what I think....
@@charliehade966 That's pretty stupid
I got places to be bro, no time to stand around 🤣
Half of those zombies wont even know what a masterpiece this song is.
As someone who has performed in public I have experienced big crowds with little income or especially in Scandinavian countries people just walking by but the tips were GREAT. I must say I prefer the latter, it gets you a good meal, a comfy bed and money for the next train ticket.
Мурашки, отличный голос, гитара просто потрясающе звучит
Да голос норм, глубокий
I come back to this video every now and than, I’m so shocked how many zombies walked by.
Like nobody jumped in to add harmony? He’s phenomenal, away from the mic someone could have added high notes.
This song is a classic, and this dude just covered it with utter perfection!! I’d be jumping up and down to sing with him!
This guy at winter time sitting outside to give some small things into our life, beautiful music 🎶😍
the song . singer , cold atmosphere , ambient , was perfect
Cold was the lack of appreciation
The Silence at the end of the song shows how much genuine talent and soul is overlooked these days. This is a great man
Wow. This took me to my past, present and future all at the same time. Incredible performance ❤
how can you ignore this great man who sings without everything from the bottom of his heart for you... and you pass it by
How can you expect every person in the world to want to stop for that, just because you want to? You walk by things too, that other people find too good to pass by. People have things to do, and performances like this are all over the place all the time.
@@peterwhitey4992 thank you for your answer... You don't understand that what you are saying is the problem of society... people have things to do ect... take the 3minutes and relax and show respect for this art... and you can't find such a singer on every corner... you are very bitter... maybe I can help you

How can people just walk by this awesomeness?
awesomeness? muahahha
wow THIS guys voice is INSANE!! I want more... PLEASE
2:20 is my favorite part
Elessar Telcontar TY BRO!!!
Elessar Telcontar it's not him that does the good cover of creep (Daniel homeless mustard done it) similar but both outstanding!
Jurgens Odendaal i like his version of im yours jason mraz
Even if I couldn't afford to donate anything I would be sat opposite watching his performance. I discovered this video a year or 2 ago and I still cant get enough of it
That’s what came to my mind too. Besides giving a tip I would sit close by and simply enjoy the unexpected gift that had been placed in front of me..
Same here, an outstanding cover.
There is something enchanting about this video.. The guy, the hoodie, the warm, Christmas atmosphere, the guitar ... the whole lot of it alltogether. It's magical! Not to forget the great interpretation of the song. Simply one of the youtube's gems!
what a talent, so sad that people are "too busy" nowadays to stop and enjoy it
Iñigo Reiriz Здорова, а где это он так поет красиво. Че за город? Спасибо.
Привет! Это Стокгольм. Название города было написано в самом начале ролика)
Swedes have always been known to be introvert and not so social, getting to close to someone is not in our natural habitiat. But, as you get to know us. We'll show you a whole other side. Although, i'd stop and listen and show him my respect. BUT, defending the swedes. We are probably some of the more introvert people of the world, and we're not used to the american social aspect of things. Let's just say he choose the wrong country ;)
This song is the reason why I manage to survive dark days. Bless his soul
like your comment! so treu !!bless you sakshi thanx
Одно из самых мощных каверов на эту песню, мужичок молодец.
На эту песню все каверы годные, эта песня такая мировая!
People walking by seeming to not care drives the point home even more . . Unbelievably powerful!
I mean some people got shit to do lol. I’d stop if I could but I’m not sure how people with busy lives drives any point home. Are they supposed to stop and miss whatever they have going and be like oh my god, we need to show support for anti terrorism or we ourselves will be terrorist!
это ныне покойный бомж горчица замерз на улице
wow. awesome!...how r people just walking past not stopping??
most of them believe, they still need a lot of things to buy, i guess))
+fvgc454ss its sweden, people just dont give a fuck about anything here
yeap, but it's Stockholm main pedestrian street with all the gift-shops, so probably, there are more tourists than natives. Dave said that he gets more money from people he sees frequently other than from tourists.
also, some people might have been uncomfortable with me running around him with big camera)
+fvgc454ss
it also seems to be cold in the video. well, this could not keep me from listening! just love it!! =D
+GermanDachshund I believe it was December 27. yeah, Dave's fingers were frozen and I couldn't hold the camera steady, but it was fun)
Очень антуражное исполнение. Новое! Это потрясающе. Очень красиво. Спасибо за возможность услышать ваш талант.
