    God, at the end when the camera pans and there's only like six people around... Makes me think how much beauty happens every second out there somewhere that we miss. Sure there was someone filming THIS one, but how any others? How many people had their first kiss while I was typing this? How many fireflies are glowing away from human eyes? When was the last time I was there to watch the sunrise? What else am I missing while I sit on my ass with my nose in this screen?

    Vilray was on national television last night performing from his latest album. What a significant change that was allowed by not giving up and following his goals.

    A single clap and the roar of the train at the end. Sounds like the life of a busker alright.

      +starogre I know I know! My bad. The train came and like a stereotypical New Yorker I was in a hurry to get home and not thinking straight. I promise I'll report back when/if I find them again.

    How the hell are these guys not playing actual shows!? O_o Guy sounds like Sinatra.
    At the very least places like Starbucks could hire them to do shows in the cafe at night, entertaining the guests. Would give it a more upscale feel for little money.

    • @rileymerino6340
      @rileymerino6340 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Just because they busk doesn’t mean they aren’t prominent! I haven’t looked into these guys but I’m sure they do gig around; Moon Hooch and Too Many Zooz, critically acclaimed subway buskers still play down there from time to time despite the fact that they have incredibly lucrative gigs. A lot of people just really enjoy these spots, and if you’ve got game I’m sure you can actually take in a lot of cash!
