It's sounds like growing old without the person you love but remembering the time you guys spent together
it feels like that scene in up
dude...
@@clorox6214 what
@@brookeneises8459 that's the exact same thing i was thinking
I feel like I seen your comment on TikTok 🥲
i never fell in love before but im sure this is how falling in love sounds like.
😁👍❤
This comment make cry
No such thing
i'm currently in love, and i have to say it feels like reminiscing on how you guys fell in the first place
You just need someone to fall in love with.
This song played nonstop in my head while I was in the hospital dying of COVID almost three years ago. I was in a coma for 4 days and I swear I could hear this echoing in my head as they tried to keep me alive.
I am glad you survived! There is so much more beauty, like this song, for you yet to experience.
❤❤❤
What an Amazing testament to your love of beauty - blessed be
In Finland ’The Swan’ carries a special meaning. For a Finnish listener this beautiful melody tells a story of a bitter loss and lack of communication, where one can only silently stare into emptiness of their soul.
thank you for sharing
Finns & a lack of communication? Can we get a fact-checker in here? 😆
For a Finn, is there also a significance to "flying with the black swan"? ☺️
Kinda grim for something meant for being full of grace
Sad, but beautiful words.
Thanks for sharing.🇧🇷🇧🇷
This is why we have ears.
Kelvin Liew So we can get eargasms
This is why we have a heart and it's why we can intimately love. That's the beauty of our humanity.
@beethoven yo these punks be dissin' you.
And that’s what we need to be grateful for!
exacttly, not for the modern "THUMP THUMP THUMP" crap
His vibrato is IMMACULATE
Well he is yo-yo ma
ik!! I play the cello and im starting to learn vibrato and I hop I can be good at it like him one day hopefully! :)
Totally agree with you
@@danikaholzhauer3645
You will! I you can do it!
Indeed...
It's amazing how people associate this piece with mourning the loss of a loved one, or reminiscing the memories of times passed, or of falling in love. This only goes to show that music speaks a language only the heart knows.
You could visualize this piece both as the spring at the end of the bitter winter cold, or the autumn after a joyful summer sunshine, it would still have the same feeling, just with a slightly different context.
The dying Swan from Swan Lake
no
its a swan
just a swan
this is the best definition of music, that I have ever read.
I like to listen to this with eyes closed - I feel airborne and flowing effortlessly in flight.🧚🏼♀️
@@kenwittlief255lovely piece of music. But it makes me wanna try one for dinner lol
back in june, my grandfather showed me this video. it was the first song i've ever heard yo yo ma perform, and i instantly fell in love with it. here i am, two months later, this song is in my top 10 songs of all time on spotify. i listen to this song everyday on repeat. my grandfather passed away 3 days ago. i'm going to get a swan tattoo to honor him. i will love you forever, papi
Your Grampa will always be with you.
In your ❤ God bless you.
😢 I really felt that.
How lucky to such a wonderful papi🦋
My cello teacher passed away recently and this was my favorite song to play with her. I got a swan tattoo on my ankle to remember her by. I hope you ended up getting that tattoo, it really is worth it
What a wonderful Granddad you must have had. He shared his Treasures with you; he must have loved you very much ❤❤❤❤
My little sister (17) died one year ago. We didn't knew which song we would play at her funeral. 3 days before her funeral, I woke up and la cygne came to mind. I still rhink about that moment every day. My sister was so elegant and youthful, just like a swan.
i’m sorry about your sister love
are you okay? :)
She is an Angel..in the Ambrace and in the Joy of The Lord..She in the Light..not in the dark of this mad world..She is praying for us in the Glory of All Angels..
Sorry to hear about your loss 😢
Sorry for your loss
my teacher always played this while we read our books. she would turn off the lights and keep these white vintage lights up and lit up. it was perfect when reading a romance or sad story. this was before the pandemic. still miss her. rip
Shiratorizawa had a good teacher
@@juanmai3805 pfft-
I am jealoushaha
That’s why I should’ve gone to shiratorizawa
I love that
Never cried over an instrumental song before this one. it's absolutely beautiful.
ikr im bawling rn. THE PASSION!
This is the only song I've ever heard that immediately brings a tear to my eye, such a beautiful duet
Same to me right now 😢
Yo-Yo Ma is such an amazing artist. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else that plays with such passion and beauty.
Hauser!
@@cjr451 Very Close. I favor Yo-Yo as he lives locally and is so kind and generous, I watch Hauser often too. whew!.
Yes, he does because he 'feels' the music🎶
Hauser, most definitely!
I vote for Yo-Yo Ma, Luca, & Hauser. I can vote for 3, right?
2:00 words cannot describe how this part makes me feel 🥺
i feel die in beautiful place then go to heaven
It's so beautiful
it makes me cry it’s so pretty
Its so beautiful
Damn,im crying
If this song isn’t playing at my funeral, I’m not coming
LMAO DEAD 🤣🤣😭🤣😭🤣
Stephen, I hope you will hear this many times before your funeral. :)
Well technically.......
As if you have an option 😂
@Walter Kipkorir Lmao
2023: anyone?
Thank you Mr Ma! Your music is so beautiful
Yo Yo Ma is a great cellist, might be the best cellist in the world. He is a very nice person as well. After joined his concert in Pittsburgh, I bravely walked to the stage, chatted with him and told him how much I had enjoyed the concert. He was very nice and friendly.
I live not far from him. Foolish me, I had the chance to drive him while I once worked for a limousine company, locally, but chickened out. Now I learned how nice he is. Bill
Agreed 👍💯
I just bought a $400 pair of headphones and this was the first song I chose to listen to with them. I made the right choice
Wow ok. Humble flex
But please dont listen to music on youtube if you got the headphones for some good quality music
Weird flex but ok
🎻🎺🎷🥁🎧
Sure am flexing super hard guys! Glad you focused on the purpose of my comment!
I played this during
my funeral and now I’m alive.
This comment deserves more attention
The purest of music can raise lost souls from the depths and into the light. From such tunes can the dead be raised.
@@WillShakes423 not like zombies though...
@@DewwaKakkar You got that right.

This was my wedding song, I walked down the aisle at around 1:45. Perfect timing
What a great idea! I would love to use this at my wedding -- if I ever do get married...
Friends of mine used this also. They had a friend who played cello, and my mother got to do the piano accompaniment. Beautiful piece.
Oh that’s perfect!!!
The two most beautiful instruments playing together
The most beautiful story ever told with no lyrics.. this is what makes music the most incredible experience in my life..
Thanks so much for encouragement my great fan.
I hope your day is going well Joan. I saw your comment and just felt like I need to check in on you. I hope your well Joan

the way he plays and hold the cello feels like he's embracing his loved one and whispering stories into her ears whilst hugging her in the most gentle way. it's so romantic

RIGHT!!!! just the emotions on his face makes me want to cry🥺
@@jungkookscoconuthairline you just killed the mood of the entire comments section 😑
oh wow dude that's crazy
I've never heard this before and got halfway through wondering why I'm tearing up. This is so beautiful.
A cellist who can play with such passion and beauty must be Yo-yo Ma. Just listen to his notes, its from heaven.
I walked my daughter down the aisle to this song on her wedding day last Saturday. I was fighting to keep the tears back.
congratulations!
Congrats to your daughter, definitely a great piece to choose! There’s no shame in crying on special days like these.
*piece
Congratulations...Lots of love
+Mary Hanenian And I bet your daughter is as beautiful and loving as a swan.
This. Is. The. Reason. I. Want. To. Stay. Alive.

@@greasyflab3180 Death is but the beginning of our spirits long journey.
I'm glad you could find a reason
oh wow dude that's crazy
Me too....❤
The swan gave me a new found appreciation and deep fascination in cello. It's such a beautiful and sound like a deep puddle. And no intrumentals ever made me feel like it resembled anything other then it's intrumental. Beautifully played!
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
My favorite part is this sustained note at 2:04 that Yo Yo Ma plays with the most passionate and beautiful crescendo. Every time I hear it a wave of happiness washes over me. Truly soul touching music🙌
My grandmother and mother were both piano and cello teachers, respectively. Whenever my gran used to visit us they would play this duet together. Always. A few years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia, the sort that degrades your body and well as your mind. Now she can no longer sit at a piano, or even play it. It was the thing she loved most to do in the world, and it hurts to see her like this. She taught me piano herself. Whenever I hear this piece I will always remember how they looked as they played it together, and how she used to be.
Nice story. Thanks. And I can empathize with you.
You ever play it for her?
This hurts on another deep level. So sorry for what you must be going through.
I know well what is dementia due to my father and mother..
I am sure when you play a piano to your grandmother feels and be happy..I now well that they can forget memories but not hobbies..
I’m so sorry. ❤️
Have you ever hear a piece and cried? Because it reminds you how much life was okay back then. But it tells you through the notes that you can't turn back time at the same time, it says that, it's gonna be fine, everything is going to be, fine. Walk ahead and let God do His work. Follow the flow and enjoy your time while you're still alive.
This comment right here man

Its too much Pressur in school i can’t anymore i am at this Point were i want to give up everything and just Fall asleep and Never wake up again. I cried when i heard this Song its just calming for 3 minutes and i can forget about school for a holy damn second 😢
I cried during my elementary rotation cause I was the last cello of my age group
His right hand looks so light. Like the bow isn't really touching the string. But the sound is so deep and full....just amazing.
Just started to play the cello and Yo yo ma is an icon for me
This has been playing on repeat for more than an hour now. And I've been crying with it. It made me feel things.. Touched the deepest, darkest parts of my soul and brought light to it. Grief, depression, all the deep, dark stuff. It's like I'm healing with this music.
Wow. I am with you on these emotions. I’ve been playing it over and over, waiting until I stop crying, and that hasn’t happened yet. It’s not like I’m remembering specific things in my life. I’m just feeling them without even knowing where the emotions are coming from.
@@jeffreydonaldson7006 exactly. it just fills me to the brim and the overflow comes out as tears. i never realized my soul is this thirsty for this kind of music.
❤
You Are. Keep Going.
I teach music and sometimes hear a student say, "Why should I play? I'll never be as good as (insert name here)."
I answer: You are correct. You will probably never be as good at sounding like your idol. But he or she will never be as good at sounding like you. Bring YOUR OWN brand of passion to the music. People will feel what is inside you. Some people will like your idol and some will like you. Practice until your soul shines through your performance. No one can have a "better" soul than you - only a different one."
2011littleguy
Beautiful thought. We need more people and teachers like you. :D
thank you for this comment, really.
Very true! I would also add that just because you’re not the absolute very best at something, doesn’t mean that it’s not worth doing. Making music in itself is so valuable in enriching your life. I feel like so many of us have this all or nothing attitude where if we can’t do something perfectly it’s not worth doing at all, and that’s so sad. If you’re working hard and creating something you love, that’s the most valuable thing in the world.
Your student can perform live music in places Yo-Yo Ma would never give a concert.
wow i got goosebumps while reading this!
this is like the credit song when the world end.
why did this make me cry pls
I know
And imagine there's a narrator (with a deep voice ) telling how the world end
The producers of the miniseries Childhoods End based on the Arthur C Clarke novel had the same idea.
At the end of the final episode, as the last human dies and the planet is destroyed, the alien overlords retain one piece of human culture: this song, The Swan
@@sitinorzalihanmatisa6967 yes😭
Seeing a true master in their element doing their craft is such a beautiful, deep, moving, uniquely human experience.
You can listen to thousands of you tube performances and you will always find flaws in them. This is the first perfect one I didn't see a single flaw in. Not only is the cello is perfect, the piano is also perfectly matched. Incredible and phenomenal.🎉❤
Yo-Yo Ma don't play the cello, he is the cello
and god works magic through him
+Peter Hu no... its called hard work and discipline coupled with a talent he chose to embrace.. such nauseating nonsense this continual worship of mythical deities.
John Thomas-Jones,
Peter Hu is simply saying that Yo-Yo Ma's talent is akin to something beyond human ability because he's so good. Just because he uses the word "god" doesn't actually mean it's a reference for some "magical diety." Your aberrant judgment of another human-being-who is simply making an awestruck remark is "nauseating nonsense."
WTF, let people say what they want to say, they have a brain,they can think for themself, they can believe in what they want(god inclued!)
they don't ask your opinion, and they don't give a fuck! You're not going to force people to think like you!
The Music is a harmony, not a battle...
John Thomas-Jones: I do it daily. I'm a nurse. Why, I've had my whole arm up an ass before. ;) Oh, and a vagina too. We have a naturally sick, twisted sense of humor. We like to shove plastic tubes into people's orifices, including the one they urinate from. Blood, guts, vomit, sputum, you name it. And I've heard every insult in the book that even the devil himself couldn't devise. So please, spare the PG-rated "insult." Save those for someone less jaded. :)
this song gives me nostalgia for a place i will never know
Yes! I feel so much nostalgia but I don't know what for
I had no idea how much I needed this right now. It’s like my ears have been released from prison directly to heaven, along with my heart. These 3 minutes will stay with me. I’m so grateful. Beautiful music is beyond transcendent. Doesn’t hurt to have Yo-Yo and Kathryn illustrating that for us. What do I do next…? ❤
Listen to Claire de Lune, played by Victor Borge.
Tonight, as I played this magnificent music yet again I found myself thinking about how I would like this played at my funeral, it sounds like the perfect music to play in the transition from mortal to immortal- I can feel the swan gliding along in the water. It is so beautiful. Thank you for this brilliant rendition of this music.
@vivien Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you.

+Christopher Pederson ur special
MegaSnippezz you know whats better? Watching titanic with this music
Play this on repeat because we're half way there
ohhhh we're living on a prayer.
A girl I onced knew introduced me to this piece. She liked this one a lot I remember. She was really fond of these slow pieces where it makes you think about all the feelings you've ever felt, and the feelings you're just about to feel. She kept on recommending me all sorts of music she loved listing to, which is something I've always felt to be romantic. And of all of those music she's introduced me to, it was this that caught my ears and made me think of one woman I've ever loved the hardest in my entire life. I never really knew what's the story behind this piece of music back then, which makes me so emotional to have to hear it again without her by my side. Now that she's gone I don't really have the use of what the story of this music is about. As now I finally have my own story to think of while getting lost in the tunes. A story to think about while she's happy with someone else. A story to think of while I try to cry alone in my room, while my tears are a burden enough to pour out of my eye sockets. It's truly quite a sad music I'll never forget, that comes with a girl I'll continuously think about till this day.
YO Yo Ma is an incredible artist. I don't think I heard anyone who plays with such passions and beauty.

This managed to be the prettiest thing in the world. I live with depression for the last 2 years and this music, in this video is the only thing that has made me cry of hapiness. i feel fine and i feel grateful

Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
This piece is just incredible. This piece reminds me of the flow of life, how you have some high and low moments, but no matter what, life is beautiful. We must learn to appreciate what we have while we have it. The people you know and love, your friends and family, we must take advantage of what we have while it is still present with us.

If this song doesn't play at my funeral then I'm not gonna die.
😆
never thought I would type “lmao” in these kind of videos
this song feels like going to your grandparents house after they've passed away. you knew they'd be gone eventually, but as you walk around their house it's laced with memories and their smell and comforting odd little objects are still there even though they aren't. a place that feels like home and a warm, comforting hug without the people who are usually there to welcome you in.
Hello
I have just lost my lovely 95 year old Mum. I have been back to our old home and what you say is right. Though she has passed, Mum was still there. When that house is finally sold, a huge part of me will be gone forever.
This made me cry 😢
@@davidmansell5986 I’m so sorry for your loss. May your mother Rest In Peace.
@@egg8009 Thank you, Emma.
This song tells a tale of a love so subtle and unexperimented thats died long ago, but as the last moments of their lives together they look into each others eyes and see, it could’ve been perfect.
This is my first time hearing this song and I've never ever heard a piece of music that hit me so incredibly hard that it brought tears of almost introspection in an instant. The first note opened a doorway into another part of the soul i didn't know was there.
I'm having a cello exam soon. My teacher on the beginning of the year gave me some notes. Later, at home, I realized I'm going to be playing this. Wish me luck!
Saga TG good luck !!
Thank you!

Words escape me. Is there anything more perfect and beautiful?
I love the 🦢. Started playing the cello 3 years ago in 6th grade and now getting to play this amazing piece. I will cherish this for the rest of my life.❤❤🥹🥹🥹
Only a genius could convey so much emotion and tell such a powerful story.
as a cellist myself... it's so inspiring to see him play with so much passion! Hoping I can be able to play with this much skill and grace sometime in my life! Such a great instrument and one I will never stop playing
Micah276 same I started playing cello because I heard him play bachs cello suite prelude, so I stopped playing violin in orchestra and swapped.
ellanor rapture why didn't you continue with violin along side with cello
Nicole Chow violin is nice but it had no feel to it, when I play cello I feel emotional and can hear what composers really want people to hear, it's not that I didn't like violin it just was boring to me.
I stopped playing cello last year and I really want to get back into it like I no longer feel alive
Edward Fabian
Get back into it! I believe in You!
I first heard this piece on the radio many years when I was a little girl. It is so beautiful and if a piece of music can capture a swan then this piece has done just that. It is sublime.
@meaneyed Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you.
Heard 2:00-2:10 sample from tiktok, have been searching for the full song and glad I've found it. Thank you reddit lol I've got this one on repeat. This touches the soul. Beautiful instruments, beautiful people, beautiful world, I'm happy to be alive.
Why was this song on TikTok?
I have been playing violin since I was nine. I am twelve now, and over that time I have heard such beautiful compositions like this and learned to appreciate every note. I think the whole world should understand the beauty of real music. In my mind, what makes an artist truly great, is their ability to put emotion into anything they play, whether it's joy, sadness, anger, or anything else. I think Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott did just that! Bravo!
You are very eloquent for your age :)
I started on the violin at four, switched to the viola at 12 and I'm telling you now that I'm glad I never stopped, I'm so happy that you understand the beauty in music and I know that it will bring you so much happiness even when you don't feel that way. Continue with it because it will get you places you never thought you could be.
completely agree. you said it well. :))
i agree too! i started playing violin at 9 and now i’m 16. i don’t have time to play as much as i used to but im glad i never stopped loving classical pieces
Yo-Yo Ma is to the cello, as Ling Ling is to violin. 🎻

Shut up
Facts.
@The Master2898 nope and I dont care its dumb im playing warzone rn
@@spongbong0 bro do you even practice 40 hours a day
Nothing but peace in this song 🥹
Saint-Saens' music is so elegant and graceful and The Swan is a great example for that. Great performance.
Yo Yo Ma, you kissed my pain away. So beautifully played.
Let's also give the pianist her share
of praise.
You are right Razane the piece would not feel the same without her!!
The only negative thing I can say about this composition, and the performance, is that it is so lovely and moving that I find myself playing it over and over and over again to the detriment of several other extremely beautiful works. Also, I have developed the very crass habit of whistling along with the music.
Good...enjoy it while you still can hear.
How funny that you should write this!
I have played this video over and over...I love watching his hands!!
AND, after I practice a piece, my husband will be whistling that piece for several hours after :-)

I am a atheist, but I feel the light of the god when l listen to this piece.
no shit!
Dear Charlie, this that you feel is indeed 'Light' - Divine Light and Divine Love - it is that energy which has no name, but it is real and some call it 'god'!
KeyserSozie have you watched America’s Got Talent before
bruh moment
You're not an atheist then :)
This is my favorite song in the world. I listen to it everyday. I listen when I’m stressed. I listen when I’m dad’s I listen when I’m happy. I listen to celebrate. This song gives my soul goosebumps everytime that I hear it.
it’s so hard not to cry every time I hear him play this song :’) everything about the Piece is just so perfect
Everyone over here like " oh it's so beautiful" and then there's me who has a lesson soon and hasn't practiced at all this week lol
literally me too
Have you been practicing all those 6months ?
i think almost everyone who plays strings go though this
Literally me 😭😭
Ten year old me can relate
i feel like like this is what a journey is like, the way at the start he builds up a super powerful note (0:25)... yet he doesn't play it through, then he goes back down, representing the way a journey has ups and downs then closer to the end the powerful note is played out in full (2:00) and it feels like finally reaching the end of your journey and experiencing the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" type feeling... its so melodic, chaotic yet smooth and simple... i know nothing about classical music so please don't come at me... this is just how i feel.
Agree with you completely!
Feel beats knowledge anyday
They play so beautifully together
Yo yo makes the cello alive...........master of his art
If you want to play like Yo-Yo Ma, first you have to become a cello.
I've got one and play the swan
No flex
No, the cello must become a part of you.
I read this as 'first you have to have a cello'
No duh 😅
ju_tu i do too! I'm not great because I don't practice much but the reason I play is because I'm completely in love with everything about cellos and cello music. Also Yo-Yo Ma is incredible i listen to this on repeat
One of the prettiest songs ever written. Saint-Saens is a master, and these 2 wonderful musicians do an exquisite job with it. Awesome!
Ditto!
I agree
This gunna be my wedding song💃🏽❤️
Absolutely love this music
@sheila Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you.
words cannot describe how this song makes me feel omg
omgg ikr
These 3 minutes felt like hours. It was so comforting and I almost cried. It got right into my heart but also covered me like a warm blanket, I just can’t describe what I just felt. It’s soo amazing, so sweet and perfect I will search for an one hour version
@cute oh yeah when you find it, please let me know!
I love how warm this piece is ! I come here every rain , whenever sad , and every Thursday ("
First heard this piece when was a teenager - I cried then ,, and I still cry now,, And seeing it performed as classical ballet piece makes it even more moving..
