Me too. The actual raw sound of a proper busker that is not being produced for likes and subscriptions is so so good… and so so refreshing! Now I’m nostalgic for those days where we could find vids like this and they were real. Thank you, sir. RIP
Dear Mr Lee You sadly passed away a few years ago, but tonight, here in my home, you are living again with you music! Your impressive talent will always keep you living in our hearts! Rock in Heaven Sir!
I also came across randomly. After that i saw almost all of his videos and was enjoying so much. It is heartbreaking that this talented Person is no more wit us. But he made a lot of people happy with his Guitar. RIP dear Brother 🙏. Your fan from Kazakhstan
Go to guitar solo @5:17. This is when the girl on the steps stops writing her notes and looks up in awe; a guy with a beard walks by and stares in amazement without breaking step or looking where he's going. And of course this is the time the old guy chooses to ask the artist for change.
Wilian was so good ... what a national treasure, to be out playing in publc like that ... whoever saw, whoever heard him should consider themselves blessed
I came across this video just randomly and after watching this and reading the comments about his passing away, I realised that good people with beautiful heart and soul leave this life too early 😓 one of the best cover of my favourite song 👍👌
Ola hermanos brasilieros! Willian Lee was astonishing. Many cover versions of this song exist and some are really good (Gabi Quevodo Mary Spender Josh Turner etc.). But nobody nails it like Willian...gravel voice and glorious rich guitar skill. I learned of Willian too late and when I sought his street art in SanPa in 2017 it was too late. I saw Mark Knopfler in concert several times and I hope MK sees this epic tribute performed on the streets of SP. Maravilloso Willian! Descanze em paz guitarrista maestro...nunca se esqueça..
THE LATE KING OF SOUND ON THE SANTA EFIGÊNIA VIADUCT... It's a great pity he wasn't recognised NATIONALLY as he deserved to be... A LEGEND WHO BECAME A LEGEND!!! WILIAN LEE FOREVER!!! I heard him IN live MANY times... I had that privilege!
I come back to this from time to time, to marvel at how good this gentleman is. One of the best covers of one of the greatest songs ever. I hope he's resting in peace and that he's still rocking his guitar wherever he is.
SAUDOSO REI DO SOM NO VIADUTO SANTA EFIGÊNIA... Uma grande pena não ter sido reconhecido NACIONALMENTE como merecia... UMA LENDA QUE VIROU LENDA!!! WILIAN LEE FOREVER!!! escutei MUITAS vezes ao vivo... eu tive esse privilégio!
Um monstro. Toca, canta e faz o solo conversando com as pessoas. Um Deus da música que partiu cedo. Esse vídeo me enche de alegria e de tristeza ao mesmo tempo. Juro por Deus que não tem uma vez que eu vejo esse vídeo e não termino com lágrimas nos olhos. Descanse em paz mestre.
I think this is in Rio brazil this shows how great a song world wide they know it and it helps that the man played it nite for note with perfect timing with guitar and vocals . Thank you for posting ..it is so great to hear a song played by someone who does it well
saudades de ir passear na santa efigenia e ficar ouvindo ele tocar, eu sempre parava e ficava alguns minutos lá. certo dia comprei o cd e recebi das mãos dele, cd que guardo até hoje como lembrança desse grande guitarrista que se foi cedo.
There's no doubt that you are now in the ultimate band. I can't count the number of people I've shared your videos with. Next time I hear thunder, I'll know it's you.
Oh no. Such a great loss. So sad. I hope to hear him play in heaven . God gave William an awesome talent. All good things come from God. I also listen to David Levi. We have been blessed to hear great people .
Bravo sir! This is amazing. Playing, singing and talking to people too from time to time. Put a little bit of his own variation at the end too. Got to be a proper professional. Sorry to see in the comments that he is no more.
¡Camarada, tremendísimo señor!. Debo haberles dado por impulso dislike a unas 10 personas anteriores que vi aquí en el TH-cam, y es que seamos honestos, no cualquiera se avienta bien este torito, debe sonar como es ¡carajo!. Sin duda, he aquí uno de los mejores.
Grande *William Lee* maravilhoso cantor e excelente guitarrista.👏 Para todo o sempre da minha vida vou lhe assistir e ouvir e meus filhos irão continuar o legado... •ETERNO•🖤
RIP WILIAN LEE 🕊
What he passed away 😢
The only person I've heard play this song better is Mark Knopfler himself. Rest in peace, Mr. Lee.
DEP/RIP.... The world lost a treasure when you passed. So extremely talented.
Had no idea he passed. Damn it.
RIP. I have never been to Brazil but I used to watch this video every now and then... just an incredible good cover.

All this while being very polite and saying obrigado to everyone giving him something. Respect!
Jag skriver på svenska, han är en av de bästa buskers i världen, var rädd om honom.

Wow, he made it looked so easy and I loved it when he was concentrating on playing and also thanking people for putting money in.
I miss this wonderful musician. There must be guitars in Heaven.
Is he dead??
