[@RaphaHP]

No words to describe what my soul feels when i listen to this masterpiece ⚜️

[@chrismpepper]

This song devastates me every time

[@nazeers6433]

I just don't know what to do... Reached dead end where I can't go back or I cant right or left ... I am completely frozen and I cant trust anyone either

[@NatA-xd4cc]

Same same...🥺

[@HitCha_K]

Same, feels like every part of my body is crying.

[@LafDDlafcam99]

Same

Musica straordinaria, creata per consentirti di sognare ad occhi aperti, ti solleva da terra, ti abbraccia e ti porta dove tu vuoi.

[@TheOwlHead]

This piece makes me weep and weep and weep. It's become the sound of everything I thought we life would be. A home video my daughters and I at our magical getaway. Stafford lake dropping willow trees, a bright beautiful future perfect with purpose adventure and life. Gone.
I used to listen to this piece with them. My daughters. My wife.
Now I'll hear it alone. My God in heavin this piece of music hits both ways and it rips me in half so violently with its perfect capture of exactly what the title describes.
It hurts.

What happened?

He and Ludovico Einaudi are at the top of their games! Thanks Cheryl!

Vangelis, Olafur, Max, and Nils are who I listen to for inspiration in my music.

[@dr.s5688]

Who are the other guys you mentioned here? This is amazing

[@jaonajackson7579]

I woke to this wonderful piano song and got up to hear it again🥲

[@katiehill8357]

Wow, it is like there is breathing in this music with the violins... I was feeling stressed this morning and this music is lifting me up to the joyful freedom of each present moment. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift.💖💕

[@condimentking414]

Ólafur Arnalds is an incredible force. One of the best defining musicians of 21st Century.
Just saw him live a few weeks ago for the second time, and it was truly touching and mesmerising. I couldn't expect less from this group of true artists. The string quartet is si dope as well.

[@Pio-Pio6z]

A música dele faz a minha alma ficar inspirada e me sinto feliz e ao mesmo tempo me conecto com o ar e me sinto leve.

[@annemarieallsopp5969]

Beautiful haunting will put this fabulous piece of music in my next screenplay!!! 3:09

[@fitnessbrotherade2959]

I don't know if happiness left me behind or I left it far behind on my dark path

[@nemiixvera1911]

Música que te toca el alma y Te emociona desde el primer momento. Inevitable no pensar en Gabriella Papadakis y Guillaume Cizeron patinadores de Danza ❣ con un Programa Libre maravilloso y hermoso del año 2017, veánlo si pueden, es precioso.

[@idamarie8849]

Papadakis Ciceron tanzen göttlich zu dieser Musik.

[@angel3010048]

[@wile123456]

That Mr. Bean smile at the end shows this was performed flawlessly

[@MajoPonch]

[@polinastoyanova266]

🧡🧡🧡

[@Koffieleuter]

Yann Tiersen vibes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@tttobigs]

i thought the pianist was ryan gosling

[@ArquimidesBitter]

Jajajaja me too

[@Marklar3]

No doxxing please.

[@roblmcd]

The ‘Gos’ does jam the musics. If unknown to ya, check out his 2009 ensemble ‘Dead Mans Bones’ - cheers

[@Learnerofthings]

When I heard it, I thought it was Max Richter.

[@richardmunning]

If that is what you have to say please stick to superficial music.

[@vrptl]

was this meant to be a reference to adagio in d minor because i hear similarities

[@melissasb8415]

😳😳😨💓

[@pianist6560]

This guy looks like Kevin De Bruyne😂

[@Plague378]

First
