River is silently flowing, the elephant quietly listening, and the pianoman happily playing his music. And l think to myself : What a wonderful world......
You are so right.........
You are so right......
Very true and poetic statement. Thank you! 😍❤️😍❤️
Aww, well put...😢
YES, perfect..."a wonderful world"...well said.
A thousand and more standing ovations for Mr. Paul Barton whom I consider beyond awesome for his feeling that's it's his privilege to play the piano for these wonderful elephants . May he also receive the joy he gives to them.
Elephants are empathetic creatures and it’s really nice to see them enjoy piano music too
Sympathetic is the RIGHT WORD....it either SYMPATHY the positive SYMpathetic .....the negative ANTIpathy.....never empathy or tize..
@@danyahpereira1006 No empathetic is right, it means to understand and value others emotions.
@@hughe29 I gave you the RIGHT breakdown bit you want to keep saying that ridiculous make up WRONG word....go right ahead,it is just such a APATHETIC cephalus.
@@danyahpereira1006 You are embarrassing yourself.
@@obscurus1344obscures, as your screen name suggests you're in the DARK, trying to be esoteric ? Lol. stay in the dark..... broke down the word CORRECTLY as from where it came from.....i wise not waste time trying to convince you or anyone,get off your stupid ego and get real learning...just Apathetic. please don't bother replying for will not even read it,my time is precious,and by the way I just read your stupid first line...didnt bother reading the rest.by ignomous.
He's really enjoying his breakfast. Legs kicking, ears flapping. I can't get enough of this. So beautiful...❤❤❤❤
Loved how you say " a privilege to play for" you are so blessed to to do this for them
You kinda too much overthinking people words. Next time it could be crocodiles or something else. I think all the series with elephants is just a nice try to get more subscribers, nothing more. Entertainment....
@@oleksiychekin6756 The guy in the video meant exactly what he said. He expressed his respect for their size, strength and ability to hurt him if they wanted to. You speak from of a position of inexperience. If you were ever face to face with one of these creatures and they didn't hurt you, you'd also feel the privilege that the man in the video is talking about.
@@EckBawkLive As for respect, we need to respect all living creatures, regardless of their size, strength and the presence / absence of their ability to harm us. Anyway, size of the animals is not make them more important then your parents, your family, your friends. I think its always better to spend you time on your important peoples or self education. At least then compared with "privileges to play for elephants".....
Of course, maybe what I write for someone looks strange. And they either dont have (or not care about) these important people or they have so much free time that there is enough time even for entertaining elephants.
I can only understand people who treat these animals or for example help them with food in case of any problems, such as with fires in Australia. This is really great people. Moreover, most of the peoples not care about making videos for TH-cam that show their help. They not waste time on making such videos, they spend the time on the help.
@@oleksiychekin6756 I disagree, honestly. Sorry it’s long, I tried to bold the main points 😊
→ I believe his wife lives in Thailand, so it's not like he isn't spending time with family.
→ *Barton has been playing the piano for elephants for almost a decade now;* it doesn't seem at all like he's doing it just to gain subscribers rather as a way to join two interests in his life; elephants/animals and music.
*→ Making a video where you're supporting a cause often is to help raise awareness which means more people are likely to help. Documenting a good deed doesn't tarnish the deed at all.*
→ You could consider this a hobby and *people need hobbies* for the sake of their own health and wellbeing. Many people play video games or whatever else which is fine, but you have to admit, playing music for animals seems a lot more productive. In any case, why should it be wrong for someone to spend some time in their life doing what they enjoy?
→ "Helping" doesn't have to be just reserved for people, it can also be helping animals, and that doesn't have to be restricted to giving them food or water alone. *Elephants are emotional animals and respond to music, they like it and like making music themselves, according to studies. He is playing for elephants many of which have been abused or mishandled* or are now suffering from ailments such as blindness. Like humans, animals have needs which extend beyond “food and water”; emotional needs are also important to consider.
*→ You can spend time helping animals and still have time to help humans. It’s not like you have to choose either or.*
→ To be in the position to be near an elephant, given their sheer size, nature and intelligence, is definitely something to feel blessed about. To be in the position to play wonderful music for them and actually have them pay attention, even more so. It's not the same as playing for a cat, for example; they generally could care less. *Playing music for an animal, especially when you’re as talented as Barton is, and having them benefit from it (increased happiness, emotional wellness, raising awarness of their plights, etc) is definitely a privilege.*
@@oleksiychekin6756 You're such a narrow minded and negative. How could you judge someone in a bad way from a 5 mins. video. This is a beautiful family channel with full of positive energy and inspiration. Mr. Barton is a great pianist and artist with a kind heart. If you don't believe /like this video please just leave, we don't want toxic comment in here.
FYI. Playing piano for these majestic animal is always privilege in Thailand since elephant is our national symbol.
Gentle giants when you treat them well, elephants. They're so serene and trusting of you. I wish I could spend time with such awesome creatures. I absolutely love elephants for their emotional complexity and their intelligence.
As a child aged 8 to 15 I holidayed with family in Ireland every summer. I used to sit on the gate of the field on the farm and sing to the cows... they would always slowly walk up the field and stand around me in a circle just listening... Looking slightly perplexed but calm. I love cows.
Si do I.
❤❤
That's very true i think, and beautiful. 👍🧡🌱💜🌿
Programs like this restore my hope that the most destructive members of the animal kingdom, namely us, can unravel the hurt we've caused if we set ourselves to the task.
Have you ever been so overcome with love, awe and appreciation that you don’t even know how to verbalize or organize your thoughts? All I can say is thank you kind music man that provides beautiful relief to such beautiful beings
❤
Beauty of the scenery is enhanced by the presence of three big little souls - two are called animals and one,human.But inside ,all three are same .
@Cult Mechanicus Please do not bring 'religion' everywhere . Though born a Hindu, I respect all the faiths. 'Religion' is a very complex subject , and it is not easy to define it , I think.Thank you for your comment.
I dont agree with Cult Mechanicus comment, however humans are not the same as elephants or any other animal, although it's awesome to see this guy in the presence of these incredible animals
Yes, we are all the same spark of life. We just occupy different vessels or bodies. We even share some DNA with them. Think about it, the same electric energy that powers a microwave also powers a TV, but the expression of that electric energy is different.
@@bennartey3409 Yes, it is the truth. The fact that the musician is looking at the musical notes placed in front of him, and playing real music to a revered listener proves it.
Very well said
Thank-you Paul for all the tears of joy and beauty and thank you too for all the kind people who help these elephants.
Listening to Beethoven and watching rescued elephants is becoming a favourite past time
This sir, Mr. Barton, is doing a great job. It is admirable that he protects, respects and really loves those elephants who are often mistreated. It is a noble work done by a noble person. Very touching. Congratulations!!!
The sound of nature around the piano is wonderful. The elephants like it too. 💖
The scene the elephant listening to piano playing by the river in the sunset is so beautiful!
Beethoven's slow piano music is their favorite! Mine too!
It's easy to take it personally, eh? I love that Schumann piece and felt as though I was sharing the moment with that big, tough guy. Thanks, Mr. Barton! That old upright deserves a plaque, (if it makes its way out of the jungle).
ENCORE! BRAVO!! Humanity so desperately needs this!
In case humanity so desperately need it, lets all go to play and sing music to elephants :)) I think humanity need to deal with wars, violence, starvation, pollution, etc. This is what humanity definitely desperately needs to do as fast as possible.
While the playing with elephants is just an entertaining/sort of promotions, nothing more.
I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life! This brought me to tears. Thank you Paul and bless your heart for taking care of these amazing majestic creatures. I believe we have much to learn from elephants. I can rest easier knowing they have you to care for them.
Thank goodness for this elephant sanctuary.
I agree they should be wild but since they can't be reintroduced into wild, it's good to know they're being protected.
Love + Light beautiful xx 🐘🦋💜
An elephant can livein the wild even after domestication as they simply eat leaves and grass which is available everywhere and they have no predators.
@@shrujanamsyama9940I think Paul said sum have health issues & humans traumatized these poor beautiful souls plus nobody plays piano in the jungle. I like what he said, they shouldn't be in our service we should be in their's. 💞🐘 Much love xx 🌻
I love what you are doing and enjoy hearing about their favorite compositions
If I played for a 80's Rock Group....? Would my Piano suffice?
I don’t think I have ever seen an elephant lay down unless it was to die. This is so precious
Thank you Paul.
Wow just when you sometimes loose hope in humanity you see this and hope is restored ..... Paul very grateful for this and your heart
Leaves me in tears xx
I never tire of these vids showing kindness. We all enjoy the rythem of the universe. Music soothes the raging beast...
hah good one! Maybe Slipknot would consider a rythem section... in an elephant mask of course...
Lovely animals enjoy a piano music bliss
Bless you and these loving elephants
WHAT YOU DO IS A BLESSING
Love this man, those elephants, the music, the jungle, the river. Wow, to be able to live life like that . . .
I don't understand how poachers can hurt this beautiful animals ? So cute and beautiful. They are awesome!
Fabulous dedication to profound love and life. Thanks 🌹❤️
Love and blessings
I just LOVE this!! I never get tired of watching you perform for my FAVORITE animals of all time!!! Thanks PAUL!
1:10 this is so beautiful
Frank Sacriste Yes it is so very beautiful!!
🐘さん皆さん優しさをありがとうございます🙇‼️🐘❤️😊
Your channel is so fascinating, I love watching it. Keep sharing the elephant stories and music. 💜❤️💜❤️
I wonder what they actually hear, because they hear vibrations we can’t hear
Tuxedo Cat imagine how they hear the world....I wonder what beautiful sounds they hear that we simply cannot....
He hears the deep soul of Ludwig van Beethoven echoing through the ages. He prays silently to the elephant God to thank her for bringing him out of hell and planting him in paradise in his tired old age. It's a miracle.
Good point
I am also wondering about their putting their trunk on the (soil) ground, during music/while listening ; it might be out of relaxation ; but it might be too, perhaps, as Beethoven had to resort to when he became truely deaf, to get the body feeling of these lowest frequency sounds, transmitted through the ground, which elephants are known to hear further than we can and to use for group communication in the wild. Perhaps Paul has some experience to share on this ? just wondering... Regards and keep on the nice job
@hawkturkey No, it is not so much. Humans hear 16Hz-23kHz at best and elephants hear 12Hz-15kHz at best. Their ears are much more sensitive due to larger outer cavities, though.
That’s absolutely beautiful. Everything about it, the tranquility and the honesty these elephants show is breath taking, inspiring, and brings me peace.
One of the luckiest human meet one of the luckiest elephant in the world.
So thankful!
I couldn't dream up a better world to play music in...this is outstanding. 🐰❤️🎸🎵🤝✌️
Hello Paul, what you do for Elephants is amazing. Keep on doing what you are doing for them. Beautiful.
Such incredible, lovely creatures. They so obviously enjoy Paul's company and music.
Two intelligent species enjoying life.!! So lively
Lovely
Beautiful creatures of God, bless them, bless them and ....bless you kind sir and bless you ....a true gentleman, ....bless you! 😪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊
They respond to major keys in a wonderfully positive way. Minor keys and tension cause them to reflect and even cry. What a wonderful life you guys have. Congrats to you all!
I watch your videos and I am truly amazed by these beautiful animals. I love watching them move to the music. Love those animals for me. God bless you.
Never stop uploading these, sir, thank you.
No, stop uploading these now, my tears and heart ache to this sweetness and my teeth numb to the sweetness and I hate that I actually do agree, never stop uploading this sweetness even though my tears may flow and my heart may ache and my teeth may break. It is simply sweet and divine to say the least.
What beautiful creatures elephants are, they melt my heart! I loved the sounds of the birds too!
Beautiful ,majestic animals. Thank God more elephants are rescued from years of extremely hard labor. May we save them all and live a long , happy life.😃😃😃😃😃
Thank you for what you are doing, Paul. Thank you for watching over these elephants with love.
IT REALLY IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO SEE SUCH KINDNESS AND DEDICATION TO ANIMALS THANK YOU XX
Thank you for sharing your talent & love with these elephants! ❤️
I love that they are treated properly. When I was in Thailand I was horrified that they beat them w a sharp weapon in the head. It horrified me. Its so nice to see there are places that treat them right. They don’t belong in circuses or doing tricks for human entertainment. It’s more entertaining to just watch them be elephants because we never get to see that. Love that you do this for them.
The government laws need to change and I just can't understand how laws are not forced to adhere to abolish cruelty, humans should be hung when mistreat animals.
@@lepen4652 yes definitely
Thailand is a beautiful country with beautiful people, but they have a long, long, long way to go in respecting other species and their precious environment. I can't stand to be there because of the animal abuse and pollution.
Godspeed piano man, Godspeed.
The world is full of so much beauty. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.❤️This will always be a favorite channel of mine.
It brings a tear to the eye to watch these amazing animals enjoying music...
Thank you for sharing your insight of recovering elephants
Your dedication and talent bring peace and joy.
When lying down, perhaps he can feel it in his whole body rather than just his feet.
I very much like to lie down when I listen to classical music. The best way! Lol
@Will Pack Sad but true.
Feeding the spirit, I'm presuming.
What joy these videos bring me. Thank you.
Thank you for posting a new elephant video! May your life continue to be filled with joy.
Thank you so much for doing this! I'm a full time musician, or at least I was, till the virus, trombone and bass. I've always wanted to play for the elephants. When I discovered your videos, a few years ago, It made me very glad. Thank you again, for helping to make the planet a better place for all of us. Jon Blondell
Soooo much respect for people who care about the animal kingdom and about our planet 💖💖💖. Thank you so much !
Elephant sitting in his watery spa, listening to classical music, being brought his food after a lifetime of hard work and abuse. I we ush it were me.👍💜💜
You don't want to live the life they had to deserve this sweet treatment. If we could treat each other with this compasion and love, the word would be in paradise. Heaven... Women that are abused shoul get the same as these majestic creatures.
@@CarolynDenison exactly my point.
You're doing a good thing!! I'm so happy that people like you exist on this earth!!
Love these videos...thank U for caring so much for these beautiful creatures...these videos make our day....thank U for sharing, stay awesome!
Your work is so inspiring, Paul, that every new video I see makes me realize that magic actually exists. Seeing this huge and sensitive beings touched by the music -the authentic universal language- is the quintessence of love.
I love elephants they are amazing 😍💗💗
Soooo sweet to watch them relaxing while the piano man is playing....simply heartwarming ❤️
Thanks for what you do Paul. Your music is beautiful and I enjoy whatching the elephants listening to you and just living in the soothing present moment.
Wonderful! Bless you for all of your magnificent work (and absolutely superb attitude towards our fellow creatures).....
Much love!
Thank you for how you relate to these magnificent elephants. Your beautiful music is so calming. You remind us that all living beings have similar feelings which need to be respected. Thank you for all you do.
All I can is thank you, Paul Barton. Thank you for caring about these wonderful animals and comforting them after their terrible experiences. And thank you for educating human beings about what you do!
You are so lucky to be around those beautiful animals ❤️
Thank you sir.
I want to thank you for what you do. My father would play classical music when we were young, Beethoven and Mozart were our favorite. I showed my Dad your video playing to the blind elephant and we were both in tears. Your videos are beautiful, inspiring and heartfelt. Thank you for a new video to share with my Dad. 🐕🐾
Such peace for them...you are a wonderful person,Paul
Walking and soaking in the river together with elephants, what a dream like existence you live Paul. Much love and many blessings to all of you special creatures.
Bless you man, is all that I can say.
If I would be an elephant and someone would play piano for me, I would never ever let this person go.
Bless this man. And those in his care.
Dear Mr.Barton! God bless You !
DIOS!!!!QUE ALLÁ MÁS PERSONAS QUE CUIDE DE ESTOS ELEFANTES,Y DE TODOS LOS ANIMALES!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞❤️
This is awesome & beautiful.! Music is a healer in so many ways. These elephants are blessed to have a happy place where they are loved, and enriched. Elephants are amazing sentient animals. Thank You for this video.
Wild elephant, calm piano music, quiet flowing stream, cannot ask for more in a lock down pandemic UK.
God bless you Sir for being there for them in the ways you can!
Thank you so much for your love & commitment to these gentle giants.
Total respect for your kindness toward these marvelous creatures.
what a beautiful world God about to give us to live in peace with all animals
This is an amazing recognition of how music can bridge the gap. To lay down and doze to the piano? It must be healing, thanks to the "masters" and Paul's intuition. My favorite moment is a video where a momma and baby enjoy music together. It might be interesting to see if baby elephants respond to classical children's pieces such as Children's Corner or Carnival of the Animals. Would baby enjoy Baby Elephant Walk?
so beautiful ! such a serene scene...brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Paul Barton, your love for animals is so inspiring !
So powerful and moving 😭😍
Thank you for being one of the beautiful, kind, gentle and caring souls. The world - and the animals - need more people like you. Bless 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What could possibly be more beautiful? Thank you, Paul ..
Paul, as much as one human can love another without meeting you, I DO send my love and thanks for your work and for your kindness.
I have so much I want to say, but it's needless. I appreciate you.
Thank you so much for what you've done to help the elephants especially the blind ones. You have such a great heart and devotion. 💖🙏
Wonderful.
Elephants are extraordinary.
What a beautiful gift you give these remarkable beasts. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and your elephants.
This is so cool to see ! Love showing up in a beautiful way! Bless you all!
Dear Paul, you are a blessing to this world! Thanks for sharing these videos, I really enjoyed them
How could anyone value the tusks more than these Majestic beings?
God bless you for helping these beautiful animals! I have seen many videos of how elephants, cows and horses react to music. It is truly beautiful and amazing to see. Some have brought me to tears! Ty so much for the video ♥️🐘
This is so pure, so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
