Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone!
Much love,
Andrés
🙏
Equally exquisite as the original. I am happy I searched 'the beatles strawberry fields forever live' and in the lack of a The Beatles video (and actually finding out that The Beatles probably never performed this song live,) I got here. Love from Stockholm, Sweden!
@martin lawrence great comment. 🙏
God bless you bro🙏🏻🧡 the beatles must be proud of you🙏🏻
Never let this beautiful music die... thank you.
It's very emotional watching the older people walking by and suddenly in one instant beginning to recognize the song of their youth and how the people freeze instantly and their spirits focus unconditionally on him singing the song. That is so beautiful.
I love awhen he starts playing Strawberry Fields the two old ladys just stop to listen.
That’s what I feel like walking around in my beatles shirt I love making them smile it’s so pure
I was struck by that too, the impact the song had was something to see, and beautifully performed too.
ExclusiveLM it is
What does " their spirits focus unconditionally" mean in this context? Can someone use a thesaurus and change the words "spirits" and "unconditionally" to words that mean the same so I can understand?
The beginning of strawberry fields gives me chills EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
The ending though always made me scared
The power of Analog Sound
YES
It starts with Debussy melodie (Arabesque #1) and then Lennon’s song.
Let me take you down to
Those two ladies immediately knows the song. I bet you they were a part of beatlemania
haha indeed yes
They’re far too young. If you were in ‘65 let’s say 15, you would be in your seventies today.
@@nickname4486 They’d probably blush at the fact that you said that.
@@nickname4486 They could have been 10 and are in their 60s now. they look like they're in their 60s
The beatles were still one of the best selling bands a decade after they disbanded.. they didn't necessarily have to be apart of Beatlemania to love the Beatles. They look like they're in their mid to late fifties to me.
Never trust anyone who doesn't like The beatles.
I hate the Beatles and your right not to trust me cuz I'm a liar
@@Rtd22375 ok
NoUgHtToSiXtY well why do you exist then
Yes!
Ben shapiro hates the beatles
I scared how accurate these TH-cam suggestions are getting
🙏
@@dublincitytoday hey can I ask you something?
@@williamholloway1408 yes.
@@dublincitytoday How long have you been playing?
@@williamholloway1408 I am not the person playing. I set this channel up to promote the buskers of Dublin City, Andres is one of those buskers, you can find his links in the description of his videos, you can ask him directly 👍
The Pianist began with Claude Debussy's Arabesque #1.
My favorite piece❣️❣️❣️
Thank you
erepsekahs You have every right to your own opinion, but do you have to be so cruel? You are obviously not a very happy person.
@@erepsekahs sucks being tone-deaf doesn't it

As a musician during my life time, I find it strange how people on the street from their little measley lives will go out of there way to to even acknowledge you are there. The little girl wanted to stop, but her dad had to pull her by the hand and continue. Children know the magic......... Adults have forgot. :(
It’s not that deep 😂 they probs just need to go somewhere
Let their children play....
@@melstfn but it is. we are always going somewhere. Kids just pay more atention on the way to XD
You're 100% correct on allll of that...
Be honest about it Glen. You don't stop for every musician in the street to make sure you don't miss that magical moment, either. People pass street musicians for all kinds of reasons. I have done it, and you have probably done it, too. It doesn't necessarily mean we're generally unable to recognize "the magic". More often than not, there's none to detect. Andres did a fine job, though.
Not sure which is better, his playing, or his singing. Wonderful interpretation .
better than original
I can play SFF on the piano, but I sure as hell can't sing like that. He has a wonderfully warm voice.
His singing
@@vmpineda155 There is no way this person actually thinks this.
When he was playing arabesque (one of Debussy's most beautiful pieces) a few people stop, but when he start playing strawberry fields lot of people stop. Thats the power of the beatles and how people love them.
That's the power of ignorance about Debussy and classical music in general.
That’s the power of the Beatles being more popular and more recognizable than Debussy
These replies are shockingly negative
W Spann Because OP ‘ s post is negative in tone, to me it suggests that classical music is somehow inferior to The Beatles which is totally subjective. Others seem to believe likewise.
@@walterclements_ to me, it just suggests more people recognize them because they're so unique but you do you
This music makes me young again. I'm 69 years old, so long ago.
Keep it up Kathryn👍🏾
I like that number kathryn
@@joeriley2266 lol
Nice
Nice
It was so heartwarming to see the older folks stop in their tracks and get brought back to their youth. Must have been a huge wave of emotions that hit them on the spot. I even tried to spot the exact moments:
1:15 Lady stops dead in her tracks when she recognizes the intro tune.
2:03 Ginger haired lady and companion pauses their stroll to enjoy the song.
2:10 This lady came out of the shop at the right time to be greeted by this song and gets transported back in time. She eventually sings along.
2:26 Similar effect for this lady
3:04 Lady quickly hobbles to get a video of this amazing cover.
3:04 At the same time, younger lady in violet halts, her smile radiant. She can't believe she stumbled upon a live performance of SFF.
3:32 Man directs camera lady on how to record this rare opportunity, the Beatles themselves never even performed this live!
This took longer than I expected. Hope I'll be able to hear an amazing cover like this live too, in my lifetime.
i'd probably cry if i was walking down the street and heard this. amazing. lennon lives through us
much love from brazil :^)
br até aqui
Also from China
wowo huo ru ok with all this coronavirus stuff :/?
pensei q fosse o único BR
And Harrison because he's also dead
It’s fascinating to see how the crowd forms
Yes that's one of the things that fascinates me 👍👍
Amazing how Debussy's Arabesque 1 lead us to the picturesque Strawberry Fields.Wonderful choice and execution, Andres.
Oh my god!!! That was one of the best versions of that song I’ve ever heard. I’m in tears.
Blows my mind that people can hear this and not stop
I know right!!
Guess people have busy lives after all ........
It's almost like people have stuff to do and can't stop
To add, you can appreciate the music without stopping and watching
It blows my mind the people who recognize a snippet of the song and stop to have a listen
Someone is smiling above clouds
Julian Gómez Da Luz mr Lennon?
SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME! WHOSE? IT'S -JESUS- -JOHN AND GEORGE?- JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
All Beatles's fans
Lennon hated his own songs so probably not.
Braulio Acosta uhh why do people say that?? he was just insecure of his voice is all.
*Art has no borders and goes beyond time and space. Beautiful interpretation.*
I wouldn’t dare to pass this talent without a deep gratitude and admiration for his musical talent! A humble drummer from Belgium. Land of best chocolate, frites, waffles, whatever...
This actually made my day
I was expecting some bad cover but this is gold
LANDOOO
@@cammyjane42 yess the one and only
that nord keyboard does not show poor skills
Why would you expect that and still clicked?
Okay come on now, what part of the thumbnail says bad cover lol
Its clear that this guy make this for love, not for tips. Very nice indeed.
But there’s nothing wrong for doing it with a mind of also getting tips it just allows him to do it more
erepsekahs Jesus Christ what is wrong with you
Erepsekahs has left the chat.
Luiz Claudio Cursino Teixeira All you need is love ❤️
1:15 The two old lady instantly knew it was the Beatles, and guessed it right, its strawberry fields
@@andrewestbrook4473 that was my thought, too. 😂
“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see” lands particularly hard with all the passers by not stopping to listen
No gimmicks, no auto tune, no special effects. Just honest talent.
Amazing
And a beautiful song
The type of talent you can listen to all day
I mean, there’s reverb on his mic, and subtle live autotune is still a thing, so...
Honest practice
He lowkey got the 60s people gather around him
60's and 70's *
@Variety_Vids 2009? wow, that’s crazy.
@Variety_Vids damn 2009 people are on youtube now
@@Clubberoni 😀😂😂
How just how could do many people just walk by without a care for this incredible beautiful music!
Two beautiful interpretations - Debussy to Lennon. LOVE the vocal. The piano is virtuoso, even with a bandaged left hand.
The Beatles were just so special, sad there’s just two left and their youth has passed them by, but the songs live forever. I’m in awe of the catalogue. This was beautifully done sir. Thanks.
@Cabronazo58
don't pass him by
They're gonna be on octupus's garden by that time
Hey, Paul is still kicking ass even in his 80! They are still those boys from Liverpool inside, and very blatantly so. That’s where real youth is. Have you heard specifically Paul’s recent records and songs, and the collaborations he was in? They are INSANE. Just very recently he was in a song with the Rolling Stones!
Being a Beatles' fan I tend to be reluctant to covers, but this version's got a gentle but powerful feeling that really takes you down where Lennon was going to. Well done!
erepsekahs jealous 👀💖
I agree. You know George Martin always said original John’s guitar demo was his favorite version
John Lennon lives while young musicians sing his songs. He would have been 80 this year died 40 years ago. Thank you Andres, it was beautiful.
Debussy is a genius for the ages. So is John Lennon
Oh yes I was wondering what the beginning was, thank you
So is Paul McCartney and the rest of the Beatles
@@feli.pazmino and George Martin
Debussy is that a femboy slang?
@@theperson4yearsago565 Claude Debussy is a French composer of music for piano, orchestra and opera. Wikipedia will tell you more. But just listen to his music, if you really want to know.
2:33 lady in upper right singing along ❤️
No she isn’t? The lady with the blue bag is just standing and listening. Her lips aren’t moving.
Bingham Guevara she does later on in the video
@@binghamguevara6814 timestamp is a couple seconds late
Wish he used a mellotron effect. Would’ve mesmerized the crowd
Yeah me too but this is a beautiful enough cover
seeing as the nord electro is an piano / hammond organ virtual synth it cant do mellotron sounds, and yes before you start whinging i know way more about synths old and new than you do..........
chloe devereaux I have many leather bound books
@@chloedevereaux1801 but I thought I've heard that Nord has the exclusive rights for modeling the Mellotron.
Or is it just at the Stage 3?
chloe devereaux couldn’t be use a laptop and an arturia plugin and midi
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't, you know, tune in
But it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Love to see those people who were in the same era as The Beatles came to listen together. This actually remind them❤
C'mon people, life is short, smell the flowers and listen to the music, however briefly.
No one cares about fun now kids is better than older or average people nowaday always just care about fun don't have problems
"Living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see"
i like how the old ladies stopped when you began the song haha
Beatles girls ♥️
*when Andrés play the song
@@sauravMAitra96 In their era.. 😅. It's better than all pedestrians who's keep walking. I think they didn't know that Beatle's song.
Cosmic Horror Death Cult you will be old some day unless your robbed of life at a young age
This is my favorite song of all time, I love people who like the Beatles.
Everything about that song speaks of lost innocence, childhoods only recovered in reverie, captured so well in this performance so easily passed by. I stopped and was grateful for every note and word.
Yes .. I agree
This is a great illustration of the two kind of people there are: those who take a time to contemplate the beauty in life and everyone else.
Or those who can't be late for appointments and those who are not in a hurry.
@@helenaville5939 and those who make the bus, in seconds flat.
This is it
@@waynej2608 found my way upstairs and had a smoke somebody spoke and i went into a dream
How is it that people just passes by like is nothing, I would be singing my lungs out 💛
A beautiful moment in time.... memories are made of magic and music 😊
I’m always playing this video, played it every night in intensive care after having a triple heart bypass two years ago. Hopefully I might get the chance to watch it live.
🙏😇
Andres Mac. Your version of this song, which is one of the coolest Beatles pieces in the history of music, is simply on another level. You make it formidable, your singing moves, you are a real artist and in very good taste. Congratulations and continue on this path. Keep living in a strawberry field forever !!!
I'm glad this was filmed before the corona virus pandemic. It would be sad to see everyone in masks especially Andres Mac singing this beautiful classical song.
Im a huge rap/heavy rock fan and I’ve always known about the beatles like every person should, i just found this song about 2 weeks ago and i cant stop listening… one of the best songs ever.
I clicked on this busking video to hear the Beatles' song and then he started playing Debussy's Arabesque, which is one of my favourite classical pieces. Then he played Strawberry fields forever so beautifully. I wish I were there. Great performance on both!
If ever there was any doubt that The Beatles are modern classical music, listen to how seamlessly Adres transitions from Debussy into Strawberry Fields. Excellent versions of both pieces BTW Andres
This cover made me understand the lyrics so much better.
Basically, he has beautifully unified all instruments and orchestra in one piano. Well done.
What a beautiful piano arrangement
Paul will ALWAYS be my number 1, but wow was Lennon UNMATCHED when it came to creating beautiful emotional melodies. Strawberry fields, In My Life, Real Love, Julia, etc. he was just something else!
Paul is my number 1 too! :D John is a close second though!
Also known for some pretty disturbing songs like Run For Your Life and Norwegian Wood.
I’d say Ringo had the most emotional songs
David Broughall I wouldn’t call them disturbing, but id say Lennons humor was ahead of its time because norwegian wood is totally awesome. Run For Your Life, id say lyrically it gives a wrong impression, but its true meaning in my opinion would be how a man can feel after being so deeply in love that it can overtake you.
Jakub 83 you’re telling me, i cant get through Yellow Submarine without bursting into tears 😥. Lol joking, but i get what you mean, i think Ringo just has a great calming voice that CAN bring out emotion in us, like “Goodnight” i dont think anyone could have sung it better than the man with many Rings.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE BEATLES BUT HAVE NEVER REALLY LISTENED TO THE LYRICS AND THE MELODY OF STRAWBERRY FIELDS UNTIL NOW.
A GREAT SONG PERFORMED BRILLIANTLY BY ANDRES MAC. FIRST CLASS.
The performance that blends into the landscape is the background music for passersby, like a butterfly passing gently from shoulder to shoulder of a passing person. I was healed by your voice. thank you very much.
My god that was amazing, the most impressive thing here is how he controls his nerves in a crowd and still manages to play flawlessly
Yo sup raniel
oh frick mendelssohn is that really you
@@maxsloan5828 hell yeh, watching youtube from the grave
i love you both...
@@felixmendelssohn8814 lol...🤘🤣🤓
There may not have a Beatles without Debussy.
Andres is one of the guy that makes me want to learn piano 💙💙💙
Meilina Sari do it! Piano is fun as hell
Great job! Anyone who hits all the notes and timing is sure to draw a crowd. There’s no other song like this!
Once he started singing, I got chills
I think John would of tossed you a few quarters and a " well done, lad"
So right. I can just see John walking by with a chuckle and a, well done, thumbs up .
@@Sarahhenderson11 would have, not would of!
Oi u American! he is from Liverpool in the UK we don’t have quarters
@@turtle6539 Yes, and an Englishman only uses his mother currency while in all countries upon God's green earth.
Fatalis huh
You did a great job with the song. John Lennon tunes are a crowd stopper.
Beautiful Voice and Música!!!!Love from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Absolutely wonderful
You have moved a man of 62 to tears 😢
But you have made me smile also
Thanx for making myself my morning❤
Keep on keeping on !❤❤❤❤
🙏😇
Andres, I have been playing music since the ‘60s and I find it so sad to see 99% of the people passing by hearing you as not much more then elevator music, as an inconveniences or obstacle in the road. People today have been so programed to expect instant Gratification and thoughts no longer then 128 characters. But it looks like there is still some hope, there with a few, who stop, listen and appreciate your talent and can really hear the fine music. These times are so much different then the 60s. Thank you for keeping on my friend.
Amen!
I think they just walk by because they are busy and they have places to go but I would enjoy ii
I have places to go, and people like this are absolutely EVERYWHERE in a big city. You don’t have time to stop and smell the roses every god damn minute of every day. Stop romanticizing old generations as omgamazing and new generations as literallytheworst.
@@justinhamilton8647 This was not a comment on generation, it was a comment on culture. You are the example of someone that is in such a hurry to go somewhere to do God knows what And you missed the beauty Of this man’s talent. You should feel lucky there are people like this EVERYWHERE. It’s not the style of music that matters is the soul and intent of the artist that should be appreciated. I can see you’re a young man who knows it all, but it’s what you learn after you know it all that really counts. Take a moment and stop smell the roses it may change your life for the better.
@@inhousevideo over Analyzing a fairly meaningless argument. People are different, always will be. It is really as simple as that. Sure a world where the whole city stops to listen and sing along to this beautiful song would be ideal, but it’s just not how it works.
His performances are always so magicial!
Delightful. And, I appreciated every person who stopped what they were doing and allowed themselves to become captivated by the music.
Que hermosa interpretación saludos desde México!
One of the best songs ever written and a great performance on top of that!
Genial, artista fantástico e as pessoas frias, sem emoção, passam e não valorizam esse artista.
Parabéns 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No me canso de ver esta genial interpretación , felicidades 👏 , saludos desde México
He's got a great voice for this song. Well done.
Great voice, good pianoman, nice performer. BRAVO!
This audio is just so beautiful. The piano, the noise of the people walking in the street as another day in ther lives is passing by, he's singing, someone drops a coin... when he finishes the song the small crowd that stopped by applaudes
The more I listen to this the more I'm convinced that this, in my opinion, is the best Beatles cover I've ever heard.
This arrangement is so darn good.
Darn near makes me cry.
Dude stop it. You’re killing me over hear. That was to darn good.
I love the Debussy piece at the beginning too! Amazing strawberry fields as well too
Everytime I watch this video, I look at these two blonde ladies, they seem so kind, and I wonder what must have gone through their heads... memories and more memories... beautiful! A hugh from Brazil 🟩🟨
That intro playing a piece of Arabesque is the best man, I'm a big fan about your talent, thanks
This guy is so brave to play in the streets im inspired❤
You are a star. Amazing cover
Absolutely incredible. Wow. 😮 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥💯❤️
again, when a Beatles song is covered, suddenly their ingenious talent as composers becomes even more obvious. thank God for his gift, for giving us the Beatles.
Best cover of this song I have ever heard. Fantastic!
Magical song, magical lyrics, magical performance. Well done!
Eres un musico fenomenal y gran persona¡¡ te deseo lo mejor.. me encanta este tema¡¡gracias
🙏
I'm a grown man and I'm in tears because I'm listening to Debussy, and the Beatles. I must be nuts 😃
This should make everyone stop in place on the walkway and just start swaying in rhythm with love struck eyes along with this awesome sounding cover.
Maravilhosa canção dos Beatles
Beautiful. He sings with such longing 🙏
Cuánta belleza en tus interpretaciones, Andrés!
the only person who can make an amazing cover of a beatles song
||-//
Listen to melanie martinezs version of this
This arrange perfectly reflects the theme of the song. For the first time I burst into tears while listening to music...
My 70-year-old heart is melting away......thank you, it is so beautiful...
People with kids need to stop and watch! We always did, that’s how you teach music appreciation
My parents did, that's how I can listen to literally anything now (even outsider music)
I will never get tired of this version ❤
This made me cry. Beautifully done
Really great performance 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
What’s wrong with those people not stopping.
The arabesque at the beginning was just amazing
yes ... Debussy .. incredible piece of music!
Love the Beatles and this cover is amazing
