I was going to compliment you on your interpretation of songs I grew up listening to. But now I will just say you do a good job. Great job?...fantastic job? ...aw heck.... BRAVO! That's music lingo right isn't it? Keep smiling... And stay safe
When a twelve year child plays music from the 1960;s and the 1970s with such dynamics ( variation in loudness between notes or phrases), great feelings and love, you would know that those two decades were the greatest of the modern music. Artists were more of artists than simply entertainers. Keep up the good work Cole, your parents get the greatest credit.
I wouldn’t even call them entertainers-I assume you are talking about the assaults on our ears that we have suffered on probably the last 30 or more years!! More like attention seeking, obnoxious children. I want to tell them that whoever told them the lie that they could sing you should go punch them in the mouth. When a so called song comes on wit h some of the filthiest language in history it makes me want to throw up.
Thank you, didn’t know Simon & Garfunkel were from the 60s. I heard this in early 1985 and assumed that this was from the 1980s. I am and will remain a Hindustani Music fan but western classical when it sounds good to the ear I do listen.
@@user-vm5ud4xw6n No that's 80s to 2020s music you're referring to I believe, I totally agree! But think, Cilla Black, Peter and Gordon and heaps of others in the 60s and 70s, they were lovely - no vile language and nothing vile in them.
Music pretty much died when the 1980s stars went out of fashion. Ever since it’s become a cut-n-paste with everyone competing to sound ( and look) the same.
Amazes me how people hurting walking by without stopping and listening to such a beautiful free show. Congratulations on a beautiful performance. The piano may have been out of tune but you nailed it
All the people passing by did not hear the sound of silence, no time to stop and listen to this young lad playing his heart out for free. Thank you for uploading.
Why thumbs down a 12 year old for doing something good in life? Humans, I tell ya. How about spreading some love and 👀 abundance of joy. Great job, Cole. ✌️❤️
It’s a great song but a depressing one. Also it’s so overplayed it’s just part of the furniture. It’s like hearing Hey Jude or Yesterday or Let It Be. If I am being honest, I’d move on too, and at a quicker pace than I arrived.
Maybe to catch their train connection? 🤔🤷🏻♀️or it might evoke too much trauma/emotions…I’m watching in the privacy of my home with plenty of time 🤷🏻♀️
You are an AMAZINGLY-TALENTED pianist!! I predict you will have a wildly- successful career a head of you! Thank you for the privilege of hearing you perform!!!
Pity that people didn't stop and listen to him play. Thank you to the ladies that did stop, especially the lady that talked to this very talented young man.
To many kids today are to busy playing on computers and there phones, I have two Granddaughter and I can't get them to play any instruments there on there phone all the time, I was in music when I was young, I still be if I didn't have a accident losing part of my finger. Again great job Bernie.
Although that's kind of sad, you can't really blame computers and phones. Before these things existed, it wasn't like 100% of the population played an instrument. My advice: Let them be amazed by someone playing an instrument, they will instantly want to be able to play as well. Of course, the song that gets played matters a lot.
How could people just walk by this young man,if I was there my ears would be glued to him,you know you see and hear a great performance when your eyes get wet. God Bless you young man.
I totally agree with you. If I may add a line to what you wrote: "People hearing without listenig, people talking without speaking, + People staring at their cellphones without thinking... The world is very sad nowadays." Indeed it is, IT has drastically changed our lives. If I had a time machine, I'd travel back to the 70's, when people wrote letters, looked up something in the encyclopedia, went to the library for research, and valued every moment in life without haste and stress.
@@bobbags2827 ...That surprises me. I always thought it was a shopping mall, because of the stores behind the piano. Also because I've seen pianos in malls before. Either way, it's cool that there's one available for people to play.
Brought me to tears. I wish I had such talent. Thank GOD that you are blessed to be able to play with such emotion and to be able to affect some many passerbys. Such a gift!
Beautiful rendition of Sound of Silence Cole. Simon and Garfunkel produced some of the finest music ever and it is simply timeless. Bridge over Troubled Water was and still is one of my favouites. It was nice to see the appreciation shown by the lady who spoke to you. Again Thank you for sharing your amazing gift which gives so much pleasure.
I'm a huge S&G fan. Why don't you write me. Baby driver. The only living boy in new York. Cesila they were simply a inspiration to the music world. But so was hot august nights.
WOW James Holland Ji that is fantastic. Yes at 65 I’ve been listening to Hindustani Music from the age of 6. But could never learn because of the greatest subject on God’s beautiful world, ‘Mathematics’ now as a retired Prof of OBG I spend my time listening to music and reading.
Hey Cole. I haven’t spoken to you in a long time. I just wanted to say thank you for another beautiful song because you are gracious enough to share with the rest of us your great talent. Please don’t stop❤️
I admire millenials who appreciate, sing or play any musical instruments about music from the seventies or sixties. Wonderful playing of The Sound Of Silence by a young lad. So great and awesome!
And so many people rushing by, involved in themselves without stopping a moment to enjoy the sweet things of life. It's a bad sign of the world we live in. What a fine performance.
I'm amazed at people who just walk by this chance of a lifetime without taking some minutes out of their "busy" life to stop and behold this young maestro playing this beautiful classic so masterfully and with such authority and control. I know, it would have stopped me dead in my tracks.
Performing in public is telling his story freely for everyone passes by to listen n to pause for a moment to catch the essence of his dream👍well done! Go higher while the wind is still on to take you to the highest💓with love!
He always make my heart melted since my mom passed away... thank you beautiful one.. God bless you and family...wish you more wishes and blessings 🤗😇💛🙏🌼😍😍🌻
Impressive. Wonderfully played. Felt the emotions to the core in heart when most people around didn't even stop to listen. Just like it's said in song. Ofcourse they will have their reasons of being in hurry etc but so does everyone else around the world even now.
You’re too young but you know the meaning of good music. I love old songs. They’re so meaningful. Keep going Cole. You can reach your dream, God Bless young man.....
Thank you for a lovely performance of a song that is still a timely commentary on our shallow materialist culture and your choice of venue was very effective. In fact it made me cry...
I can do that almost as good, if not better. No, really. I could stand and watch him play masterfully, just like these ladies did ! 😁 Seriously, beautiful Cole, thank you !
There is hardly any music that can beat the sounds of a skilled piano player, one artist captivates an entire audience young and old with only 1 instrument and "10" fingures, BRILLIANT YOUNG FELLA
The Sound of Silence is one of MY favourite songs, too, and you played it beautifully. I can still remember buying the album (yes, an LP!) back in 1974, my first year at University, and enjoying this song above all the others ... such a perfect blending of poetry and music.
Cole I watch all you videos and I love them all but honestly when I see people especially older people react like when they listen to you it breaks my heart seriously you bring so much joy to peoples life’s young man you should be so proud of yourself xxx
Brought me to tears young man ! Been a lover of SG every since “ I am a rock”. Truly lovely but I would love to see a tuner or two stand up and help keep these pianos in tune to complement such gifted artists such as your self ! Thank you from the bottom of an old mans heart 💓
For whatever reason, the mighty YT Algorithm decided to recommend this video today & I'm glad it did. SUPER performance in a less than optimal setting on a less than optimal instrument. NOW - for all those lamenting in the comments about so many people rushing past & not stopping to enjoy - go back & notice all the folks rushing past have their rolling carry-on luggage in tow...b/c this was probably filmed in a terminal. Getting the full picture before judging others is never a bad idea.
In a mall, holidays... People are elevated by this whether they stop to enjoy, or just enjoy in passing. The good vibes( literally) keep the holiday mood festive. I would appreciate it as I walked by. Only westerners feel the need to stand and clap. Many people smile their approval
It makes me sad that people passed by in silence and missed a beautiful arrangement of this song. I enjoy both S&G and Disturbed's versions, they are not equal but inpart the same message. You are avery talented young man and I wish you well.
This is how a star is made. I first saw this over a year ago. It's hard to forget what this sweet UK lady exclaimed when you answered her question about your musical training. This is what everybody thinks when they understand how wonderful your background that produces such beautiful music.
Hi Cole, that was a great rendition, I was only 17 when the movie was first released here in Australia. I have wonderful memories of that film as it was the first ever mature type movie I saw. And I fell in love with S & G from that time forward. Cheers and a Merry Christmas young man!
You have such raw,natural talent! It's so cool to see younger people appreciate & play older music! I read the description..and I agree with what you said about Disturbed's version! David Draiman's voice adds such depth & richness to the original! Best of luck to you in the future! 😊🙂
I have no music ability, I am pensioner. When there is love of the music. My. tears flow and my heart , spirit soars. I tell others. Music that touches the remote part of the heart, it is eternal, Thank you from my heart and spirit. We are impoverished without Music .And the true spirit sings for all of us.
I find it very beautiful to see how you give people such moments, how they pause and perceive only the "now". This moment. You touch people and each one feels something very personal or remembers something from the past. Really great!
I learned this song with flute when I was 15, but you have performed it amazing than my companions and I with your outstanding skill which is plying the piano like Mozart.
Beautiful song. Sometimes we need to stop and listen to beautiful musics and smell beautiful roses 🌹 why do we have to rush every day. Thank you to the person who had an amazing idea donating the 🎹 to the public 🤩🌺💖
I remember when my eldest was learning piano in the eighties and early nineties he wanted so much to play ‘Chariots of Fire’. At that point he couldn’t do the full reach for the chords at the beginning so wrote his own version of that part! Sadly, his teacher wasn’t impressed, but I was and loved to hear him play.
WOW.. CONGRATULATIONS COLE....YOU ARE AMAZING ....SPREADING LOVE AROUND THE WORLD ...TOUCHING ALL OF OUR HEARTS....LOVE YOU ALL..HEALING THE WORLD WITH YOUR MUSIC ..
Cole Lam is bringing the world together thru music and it's amazing! Cole has a live show every other Sunday where he listens to your song request and plays by ear, so subscribe and hit that notification bell. If you enjoyed this your family will probably enjoy his live shows too, so please share his channel far and wide. Peace, Love, Unity and Freedom!
Absolutely amazing, you have a bright career ahead of you. If you love to play, keep on keepin on. I loved it and would pay to see you play live in a heartbeat!
AS i sit here with tears..watching all the people walk by...like they cant hear the sound of love and peace in the air...smh thank you son..wonderful!!
That's one of my favorites! But I have a lot of favorites, and I like almost all genres of music from classical to blues, rock, southern rock, country, Motown, jazz, and blue Grass. I particularly like ballads and music with a story, like Simon and Garfunkel, Seals and Croft, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Arlo Guthrie, CSNY, and of course, Bob Dylan.
Beautifully done, Cole! One of my favorite songs! Thanks once again for sharing your amazing talents! Take care and keep them coming! 🎶🎼🎹👍✌️ 👏👏👏👏👏 💜💜💜💜💜
You do have a true gift and you are using it to help people slow down if for only a moment to listen to your compositions and to hopefully take their minds off of unpleasant or unnecessary thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving Cole! Cheers à

Congratulations on a beautiful performance. The piano may have been out of tune but you nailed it
It's ironic, because that's the point of the song.
It's a train station, people at train stations tend to be on pretty strict timetables.

I was 14 and listening to it on a AM radio.

There are still people who appreciate beautiful songs and arts, thanks Cole and this lady.
Why thumbs down a 12 year old for doing something good in life? Humans, I tell ya. How about spreading some love and 👀 abundance of joy.
Great job, Cole.
✌️❤️
The person who give thumbs down because they just jealous
Yes indeed.😁
Thumbs down doesn’t indicate disapproval, simply lack of interest. It’s an indication to TH-cam not to present videos of that nature anymore.
Thumps down were all racist trump supporters hating on an Asian kid
@@robertblaney5033 World is full of arseholes, as you, yourself would know. Biden Boy.
That is so sad to see people are in such a hurry they don't have time to just stop and listen to such a great song.
They've trains to catch and Appointments to keep😁
It’s a station not a shopping center. People are always in rush to catch their rides.
Most of them glanced at him though even if they are walking fast.
It’s a great song but a depressing one. Also it’s so overplayed it’s just part of the furniture. It’s like hearing Hey Jude or Yesterday or Let It Be. If I am being honest, I’d move on too, and at a quicker pace than I arrived.
I don't understand how so many people rush by without stopping?!?!? Thank you for the music 🎵🎶
Maybe to catch their train connection? 🤔🤷🏻♀️or it might evoke too much trauma/emotions…I’m watching in the privacy of my home with plenty of time 🤷🏻♀️
They are in an airport.
People hearing without listening
The main reason is... They are in train station or airport. Not shopping mall)))
Robots
I hope I am never too busy in my life that I can't stop and listen to someone so talented playing such an awesome song. if I am I'm doing it wrong
I totally agree. I would be memorised if I walked past.
Dear Cole Lam, your music soothes even for a while in this time of pandemic. Thanks for your music. Keep climbing higher.
One of the best songs ever written, and you smashed that out of the park 👏
we have so many talented children out there it's time we start recognizing them
You are an AMAZINGLY-TALENTED pianist!! I predict you will have a wildly- successful career a head of you! Thank you for the privilege of hearing you perform!!!
Pity that people didn't stop and listen to him play. Thank you to the ladies that did stop, especially the lady that talked to this very talented young man.
So incredibly talented. So nice to see young kids still looking to be musical and artsy. I would have stopped and watched for hours!
He can sing so good
To many kids today are to busy playing on computers and there phones, I have two Granddaughter and I can't get them to play any instruments there on there phone all the time, I was in music when I was young, I still be if I didn't have a accident losing part of my finger. Again great job Bernie.
Although that's kind of sad, you can't really blame computers and phones. Before these things existed, it wasn't like 100% of the population played an instrument.
My advice: Let them be amazed by someone playing an instrument, they will instantly want to be able to play as well. Of course, the song that gets played matters a lot.
I also think i would have stopped,listened,watched and cried for sure😪
Those that stopped, are good hearted people. The lady at the end that was talking with him is a good hearted angel.
How could people just walk by this young man,if I was there my ears would be glued to him,you know you see and hear a great performance when your eyes get wet. God Bless you young man.
I'm just so grateful that the most talented young people step up and start playing the classics again. You're amazing thank you
It is nice to see a 12 year old young man, doing something positive with his life. Music will take you far young man.
This song has one of the best instrumentals I’ve ever heard. It’s so rich, pure, and lifely.
these ladies, as well as others that listened, were 'sutprised' and delighted', not "shocked" A talented young man indeed.
People just passed by like the song lyrics
People hearing without listening
People talking without speaking
This world is very sad nowadays
Looked like an airport, maybe they didn't have time to stop. What a wonderful interlude while traveling!!
Lynn Hayes well it’s not an airport but it’s one of the busiest train stations in England

Thank you. I love how music never really leaves you?
James Holland - So you've been playing for 61 years?? wow ! 😲
WOW James Holland Ji that is fantastic. Yes at 65 I’ve been listening to Hindustani Music from the age of 6. But could never learn because of the greatest subject on God’s beautiful world, ‘Mathematics’ now as a retired Prof of OBG I spend my time listening to music and reading.
It's great when everyone is in the middle of hustling/bustling and stop to hear this young man. Excellent
But they didn't! How can they walk past without a glance? SAD.
So many ppl rushing by in there busy lifes to stop and appreciate. I envy your piano skills kid. Keep it up
Hey Cole.
I haven’t spoken to you in a long time. I just wanted to say thank you for another beautiful song because you are gracious enough to share with the rest of us your great talent.
Please don’t stop❤️
I admire millenials who appreciate, sing or play any musical instruments about music from the seventies or sixties. Wonderful playing of The Sound Of Silence by a young lad. So great and awesome!
This clearly illustrates just how few people are left who still have class and a sense of values!!!
Absolutely astonishing! Gives me great pleasure and joy watching the younger generations bringing instruments to life like this! ❤️
WOWWW! A STAR is BORN! Just beautiful, young man!
And so many people rushing by, involved in themselves without stopping a moment to enjoy the sweet things of life. It's a bad sign of the world we live in. What a fine performance.

Beautiful song. Sometimes we need to stop and listen to beautiful musics and smell beautiful roses 🌹 why do we have to rush every day. Thank you to the person who had an amazing idea donating the 🎹 to the public 🤩🌺💖
Lol I'm with her, I can't believe you're only 12. Good job as always Cole 👍🙌. 🌺
I remember when my eldest was learning piano in the eighties and early nineties he wanted so much to play ‘Chariots of Fire’. At that point he couldn’t do the full reach for the chords at the beginning so wrote his own version of that part! Sadly, his teacher wasn’t impressed, but I was and loved to hear him play.
Such a talented kid, just enjoy what your doing, one of this day gonna have a big name that all over the world know you.
My little fellow you melt the whole internet with your talent and cuteness!!
Kudos!!

Absolutely amazing, you have a bright career ahead of you. If you love to play, keep on keepin on. I loved it and would pay to see you play live in a heartbeat!
AS i sit here with tears..watching all the people walk by...like they cant hear the sound of love and peace in the air...smh thank you son..wonderful!!
I love the sound of silence. I play the piano too but I don't play contemporary or pop music much, and I mainly practiced with classical music.
Yes I learn and practice from classical like most people. These I create for fun
That's one of my favorites!
But I have a lot of favorites, and I like almost all genres of music from classical to blues, rock, southern rock, country, Motown, jazz, and blue Grass.
I particularly like ballads and music with a story, like Simon and Garfunkel, Seals and Croft, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Arlo Guthrie, CSNY, and of course, Bob Dylan.
Awesome, "a workman is only as good as his tools".... Well played!
This song always brings tears to my eyes
Hello Karen
I have a piano at home that just sits gathering dust... watching you play has inspired me🎶🎵
Cool! Play again!
God has given you a gift, play it as loud as you can, you are absolutely brilliant!
One of my all time favorite songs. I even liked Desurbs version.
Disturbed

Beautifully done, Cole! One of my favorite songs! Thanks once again for sharing your amazing talents! Take care and keep them coming!
🎶🎼🎹👍✌️
👏👏👏👏👏
💜💜💜💜💜
That was absolutely beautiful mate
That's the first time I've ever heard that song done on a piano.
The second guy has a lot to live up to now.
You do have a true gift and you are using it to help people slow down if for only a moment to listen to your compositions and to hopefully take their minds off of unpleasant or unnecessary thoughts.
Happy Thanksgiving Cole!
Cheers à
