Its pure joy.

Many of them may have had appointments they need to get to, many of them may have heard the busker before, and of course, most of the people watching them would have been in front of them, not visible on camera.

@@raytrebor Of course they did. Everyone's busy. NO need to stop and listen. A person can buy a $300 ticket to hear the same thing on stage than proudly boast having paid $300 to see someone perform.

@@raytrebor People get so caught up in their own stuff that they don't bother to stop and listen. There was an experiment posted here on KZfaq where Joshua Bell played the violin in the DC Metro on a multimillion-dollar Stradivarius and very few people stopped to listen. Some children stopped, at least until they got dragged away by their parents. I remember when I was in college and I walked out of my dorn to go to class and I saw a large hawk that had caught a squirrel or a rabbit or something and was consuming it on the lawn and everyone was just walking by not looking (and this was before cell phones were as ubiquitous as they are today) and it just shocked me that this beautiful natural wonder was there for everyone to see and no one cared. I stood there for a while to appreciate the hawk before I moved on. Yes, we're all busy people but we could also die tomorrow. And people on their deathbeds never say "I'm so glad I made it to all my appointments on time." I can't even tell you what year in uni it was or what class I was going to, but I will always remember that hawk. More people should stop and listen to the music.

thats exactly what i thought. It should have been packed

The crowd is in front of them. We can hear them but not see them.

Exactly how I felt. So touching.

Your comment is even more poignant as Russia invaded Ukraine on the 24 Feb 2022. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Beautifully put, Mel.

@@ixopo6715, not funny that you did not mention how the Azov Battalion had been bombing and killing thousands of East Ukraine civilians for 8 years before Russia decided to intervene.

He is now!

Ooo which one?

Really???? ​@@susanmentley5633

And how she keeps encouraging him is very sweet

Ive seen it live and heard the music many times. I'm crying!

Brilliant 👏

I cannot stop watching this!!!! ❤

Just seen for first time ..tears in my eyes too !! AMAZING !!

You mean they didn't marry and live happily ever after? Two AMAZING voices.

Beautifully and poetically said!

It sounded so good they likely thought it was a recording.

I think he was unnerved with all the touching, removing his scarf broke the contact, she was very touchy feely, had it been the other way around, it probably would've been considered a bit creepy.

@@YORKEE You must have missed the rest of the whole video, she obviously was just encouraging him and obviously he removed his scarf to give himself some kind of boost as singing with a West End star is very challenging. (He only showed admiration and awe for her that she would sing with a street artist from the beginning!)

Me too😀

I couldn"t agree more

His reaction was so humbling and wonderful, wasn’t it ? How kind of Celinde, Truly heartwarming to watch.

Very moving

Maybe they needed to be somewhere!???

Martine Ward Thank you for your lovely comment, I have passed it on to Stephen

Wonderful

Well done Stephen. Busking sometimes takes guts and you pulled it off perfectly. What a moment of a life time. Do you want to do the same with a flaitist? A similar thing happened to me. It only happens when you put yourself out there and Make your own luck. Dont listen to these stupid ads online. Get out there and sing or play! I entertained the Banksy queue for hours. Most people were touched. The staff of Browns weren't so pleased but I ended up playing piano for them. Give it a go and make those connections if you have musical talent

It’s a psychological phenomena. If u take delicacies and present it to people in a cheap take away box it’ll taste the same but the majority of people won’t recognise it as a premium product, it’s a trick of the mind 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's a very disturbing aspect of the time we live in. People are being taught to stroke their own egos, to obsess over things with little to no value, to be fearful and wear masks. A VERY disturbing time.

Sounds as if there are quite a few watching and enjoying from behind the camera !!!

It sounded too good that it seemed like a record playing !

@@kristinebailey2804 yes, wear masks - do your part. If you were a true Christian you'd care more for your fellow man.

or broadway!!,, ithink ive watched this 50 times

Nice sentiment but is anyone going to ask if he can, you know, act?

@@yedis1750 Have you seen most Broadway shows now? THey're jukebox musicals. No need to act. People will pay $150 a ticket for a concert.

@@Jamesgangcreative, is that in dollars or pounds sterling? Either way, that's a lot of money where I come from.

They did!

Oops ! Stephen!!

Well said. ♥️😃

Oh but you can! Your words are poetry!

Me too!
