My dad has just recently left my siblings and our mom. He was a musician and would practice Guitar all the time, and it would eco through our house. I loved it. Now our house is quiet. So I listen to this and pretend it’s him sitting in his office, peacefully strumming his guitar. Update: I dont know if anyone will see this. But i wanted to leave an update for all you lovely people who have wished me and my family the best. Its has been four years since my father has left. It was hard, our relationship was very rocky but I am happy to say that we have reconnected. And he will be playing at my wedding in April. Blessing can be found in the darkest times. And i wanted to thank all of you who took the time to leave your love.

My grandmother once told me that beautiful is not only what you can see, but you can feel it and hear it, this must be what she meant

A good friend of mine who was amazing at playing the guitar and even gave me a few lessons just passed away from the Corona virus today and this video reminded me so much of him 💗

My brother has just passed away he had a guitar and he was passionate about playing it, holding his guitar brings so many memories to me I miss him so much,decided to learn guitar to be able to eventually play the songs we used to love

Do you ever imagine yourself playing this at a concert and having everyone love you? No? Just me?

I've never seen River flows in you played that way on guitar, bravo

Has anyone else thought of playing this for their favorite person personally just to see their reactions and see them having tears of joy or is it just me?

I’m a guitar player and I can’t count how many times I come back to this video just to close my eyes and take it all in. The sound of strings are just so beautiful. If there’s anything that helps me to calm down it’s to just sit down in a room by myself and pick up a guitar and play.

Songs List : 1. 0:00 To Build A home - Cinematic Orchestra 2. 2:17 River Flows In You - Yiruma 3. 4:10 Where Is My Mind - Maxence Cyrin (Originally by Pixies) 4. 6:06 Porz Gorer - Yann Tiersen 5. 7:39 Mad World - Gary Jules (Originally by Tears for Fears)

I clicked this with uncertainty, then the first song was to build a home. That song holds a special place in my heart. Thank you,

My guitar in the background: you've never touched me like that...

I love it when i’m sitting comfortably with my guitar on my thigh, eyes closed and just playing random stuff on my guitar. I usually let my hands carry me away through some world full of music. Sometimes i recognise a part of another song and sometimes it just doesn’t fit. Somehow at those moments i feel the most relaxed in my whole day. The sounds are somehow blurred but so clear to my ears. I love it.

River Flows In You was hauntingly beautiful.

There are still a lot of beautiful songs out there but sadly we don’t recognize or know them.

My father passed a few years back. At the time, it didn't hurt as much, maybe I ignored the pain or maybe I was trying to be a tough and edgy teenager. But I look back on it and even though there was a lot of rough, there are things I miss about him, especially when he would play his Guitar. Its been with me for the last few years gathering dust, but I've made the decision to learn it. For the memories.

me at 3:05 - "Yeah I could learn this" me at 3:10 - "oh. nevermind"

The first tune is possibly the most beautiful arrangement I have heard in my 50 odd years of loving music, it takes my soul away to fly and tears flow. Can't help it...so sad and deep but also so lovely...thank you very much.

Here are some of what I believe to be the most beautiful songs in the world! Which songs would you choose? And before you comment, yes I know Where is my Mind is written by Pixies. But it's Maxence Cyrin's version that my arrangement is based on as that is particularly beautiful. The same with regards to Mad World which is written by Tears for Fears, but it's Gary Jules' version which I consider to be the most beautiful version of the song.

My uncle just passed from rona... he got me my first guitar which is still my current, he was a musician, I never played to much, just started learning barre chords when he passed, im gonna keep progressing for him

If your reading this just take a moment to remember those we have lost and those who are battling mental health and if your feeling down remember I care and people love you so never go away

F to pay MASSIVE respect

I would gladly pay for to build a home tabs

When he got to the chorus of River Flows in You, my jaw DROPPED

Since we haven’t been able to go to school because of the Coronavirus, I haven’t been able to really talk to my teacher for worship team and Drumline. This guitar playing gives me the same feeling of when I’m in worship team, blessing God, and having fun with everyone. I am near to tears. Thank you.

Can u pls make tutorial on all 5 of these songs

Favourite Guitarist List 1.Sungha Jung 2.Andrew Foy 3.James Bartholomew 4.Peter garglay 5.Eddie van der meer 6.Tommy Emanuel 7.Gareth Evan 8.Josephine Alexendra 9.Igor presniakov

I lost my father about a month ago and mad world was one of his favorite songs

I was like one day that I wanted to learn how to sing with my guitar skills, but after listening to most of this guys cover I’m just gonna focus on guitar because who needs to sing when one day your guitar will sing louder for you. Yo, if anyone wants to pick up a guitar ya should do it!

If I could do that, I'd never leave the house.

Before my fish died of dehydration, he used to play this song all the time.

How magical it must be to be able to create this

This was very beautiful. My late husband played fingerstyle guitar and it's been almost three years since his passing. This is some of the first music I've been able to listen to. Thanks.

Everyone in comments are telling about their relatives and friends who have died recently. I'm literally crying guys 😭

The way the chorus of river flows in you is played looks so beautiful and gave me chills idk why, it just made me appreciate the music that much more

My dad used to play guitar all the time, and he played amazingly. But a few years back he got a hand injury at work. Everytime he looks at the guitar or tries to play, i see how much it pains him.

This video reminded me of my past and I lost someone very very important to me. My uncle named Jimmy you passed away from smoking a couple of years ago 😭😭😭😭! He told me to follow my heart and dreams. And to be a good person through life and to help people who are sad and depressed about a person who had a family member or friend died recently and to help them feel better through their life ❤️😭😊😊😭😭😭😭!

Why do I always get tears in my eyes when I listen to River flows in you? 😭

I don’t know why but i am in love with the first song

Me a finger style guitarist: Ha I don't have a pick to lo- Wait... Where's my capo??

River flows in you, ... Something really did flew in me while listening to it.. Pure emotion

"To build a home" has always been 1 of my favourite songs. It makes me feel things I never knew I could. Listening to you play these beautiful songs is simply memorising! Wow ❤️

Very nice playing! My favorite song of all time is God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. It sounds great on guitar as a chord melody.

I close my eyes and hear my late husband sitting next to me playing... God do I miss him and the beautiful music he made...

As someone who deals and struggles with so much anxiety everyday, the release of emotion just from hearing every note you play from your guitar is unreal……..

Man, you are incredeable because you do not cut the camera so much and I can see the chords. You're the best!!!

6:53 that note touched my soul

You do magic with your fingers and you make everyone's heart skip a beat.

I ........ I honestly think that the guitar is the most beautiful instrument

this.. this right here.. this is why i play the guitar. it helps express the feelings i could never form into words. it helps get them out. the guitar is such a beautiful instrument. the sounds produced from it reach my soul and give me meaning.

One of the best things i have ever done with my life is teach myself to play the guitar. 20 years later, it still gives me goosebumps when i play

That is the most beautiful arrangement of River Flows in You that I've heard on the guitar..

Out of all of these the River flows in you cover was the most impressive.

This is the most beautiful version of to build a home that I've ever heard, even more than the original. But 2:17 is too short! Please make a full length version of that song.

I love the way you play. So genuine, so real. Very inspiring

my uncles best friend had a cousin who used to play at my sisters birthday parties. he passed away last month and this reminds me of the way he used to serenade all of our hearts. thank you for this nostalgic masterpiece, I cannot hold back my tears.

“ river flows in you” really have my feel

Does anyone else like it when it screeches? Not being sarcastic

James Bartholomew's tone is always the best 👍

I think this is the most heart-touching plucking I ever heard❤❤❤❤❤

Just bought the tab of “to build a home”, the first time i heard your arrangement i teared up... since that time i’ve listened to this video like 20 times. But today I decided to learn this beautiful piece, thanks for all you do !

River Flows In You - immaculate choice good sir and incredible performance!

To build a home 👌🏻👌🏻

I play guitar and greatly appreciate these beautiful songs. I wish more artists knew the lives they have saved, by sharing their joys and pains with the world. Mine was one of those and the only way to repay that debt is to share my story. Blessings to all. 🙏

It's 1 am at my place. My mood is at all time low, I just closed my eyes and went through these beautiful 9 minutes. Thank you for making me feel better ❤️

Me: I need caffeine this morning or I won’t be able to function This video: * comes out as soon as I wake up * Me: never mind this works better than coffee P.S beautiful arrangement!

Kiss the rain by Yiruma is also a beautiful song

Sounds absolutely amazing! I can't believe you managed to record those so clean without any string noise and other bits and pieces.

Me: *trying to fall asleep listening to these* KZfaq: *LeTs PuT aN InTeNsE gAmInG aD oN!!!!!!!!!* Guys I know ad blocker exist but it costs money(By what I can tell) and im a kid also this was meant to be a joke Ó^Ò

I just love how there are no words

jesus christ... i could literally sit here all day listening to these

My grandma recently died. But she taught me soo many things. Once she told me that I should treat my pillow better because if there's no one around the pillow will always catch my tears. Rest in peace grandma I love you so much 😭 ❤️

goodnight to anyone playing this to fall asleep. sweet dreams

I just lived 9 most relaxing minutes of my life... Thanks for making this...

Just happens to also be one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen

Can imagine playing these on a beautiful view enjoying the river sitting on a bench, beautiful evenings..

River Flows in You hits different for me, helped through some hard times. And hearing this in Acoustic makes it even better

I just want to say that the Yiruma- River Flows in You playing was honestly the coolest/best guitar playing i've seen in my 25 years haha oh my god

River flows in you is my favorite I had to learn it on guitar the second I heard it

you started playing to build a home and when it stopped and you started river flows in you, chills straight down my spine. i love this thank you

I hope that even if only 1 person sees this, they will have a great day and a better future! 👍👍

to build a home always get me crying

You are very talented. I wish I could put this on repeat cuz it changed my whole mood. Thank you for sharing your lovely talent

I don't have a sad story to tell, but, guitar has been a part of my family for generations, my grandfather played, my father played (He quit a long time ago though) and here I am, in my 20s just starting to learn, and it's actually been fun thus far. I hope one day I'll be able to play these songs.

literally two of my favorite songs, Mad world and Where is My Mind. Beautiful.

I imagined of my perfect life after retirement while listening to the first track. A really cozy farm house near a large and peaceful wheat field full of life and happiness on a perfect mild sunny morning somewhere on or out of this Earth enjoying life to the fullest. Finally, when all of my tasks in this world are over, I can embrace death with joy and peacefully experiencing heaven. Listening to the tune at the right moment will really sooth you Try and Imagine it yourself ☺️☺️

1:06 something about this part takes my breath away...

It doesn't matter how far man have gone into the space, music is above all things.

That’s so amazingly beautiful…. So rare to find Beaty and moving sounds nowadays…I thank you deeply for sharing this and I thank the universe for randomly finding this. ❤

I work at my zoos aquarium and they always softly play River Flows in You over the speakers Really calms oneself while working and watching fish swim peacefully by 😅

My List. 1. If you could read my mind.- Gorden Lightfoot 2. American Trilogy.- Elvis 3. Ave Maria.-Franz Schubert 4. Halleluiah.-Jeff Buckley (cover). 5.. Adagio for the strings.-Samuel Barber These are just off the top of my head. Your's Sir are beautiful! But, I guess we think of songs that strike a heart string. #1 Was a song I've never forgotten, when I was very little. The good old days! I heard it and it was like a switch going off! I was like this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard! Has had me a music lover ever since. Now, makes me think of my mother who has advanced Alzheimers. I wish I could read her mind. #2 Just reminds me of our terrible Civil War, and my father who just passed away. When I hear the part about, you know your Daddy's bound to die. #3 My Grandfather's favorite song. #4 Hey, it's just beautiful! #5 Man, that part in the movie Platoon where Willem Dafoe gets killed. Get's to me everytime. Music can be a big part of our lives. And different songs mean different things to everybody.

Listening to River Flows in you makes me want to cry, with its soulful melody. So beautiful.

Remember, it's just a bad day, not a bad life. Keep smiling everyone

absolutely beautiful. It's actually really funny, but I started playing instruments YEARS ago, something I grew up with of sorts. This takes me way back to my early years as a young musician between bars, talent shows, and cafe's :)

The way music resonates in the soul.. there is no greater feeling

…been a Rock-Guitarist since 45 years…but this music is what touches me really deep in my heart ❤. Thanx for The vid…

My favourite melody is still the first one. Very peaceful and warm.

*I recommend you play the video from start and listen to the music whilst reading this* If beautiful is good, this means songs can help us with anything. Struggle Depression Anxiety Happy Times Tough times Getting bullied Abuse Neglect And more I hope you are all safe and live the best out of your life. Remember never give up if you only tried once. They say third times a charm. Well the charm, might be success. Many people say "Practise makes perfect" I say "Perfect imperfections are made by the most perfectly imperfectly people out of them all." Keep trying until you get it right! You'll then keep succeeding once, twice and then it'll be easy! Trust me, I've been through alot. You might think "Hey, people your age have a long life to live" What if I die tomorrow? What if I die in a week? What if I die now? Nobody has a long life to live. Nobody knows how long of a life they will live. So please, don't waste your life on anger, impatience and being mean "We only live once, but if you live your life correctly, once is enough" Once again I hope you are having a great morning / day / afternoon / night and stay safe 💕

Such a wonderful tone your guitar has, very warm and rich. Your playing is fabulous.

This is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard. For ever

There is a house built out of stone Wooden floors, walls and window sills Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust This is a place where I don't feel alone This is a place where I feel at home 'Cause, I built a home For you For me Until it disappeared From me From you And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust Out in the garden where we planted the seeds There is a tree as old as me Branches were sewn by the color of green Ground had arose and passed it's knees By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top I climbed the tree to see the world When the gusts came around to blow me down I held on as tightly as you held onto me I held on as tightly as you held onto me And, I built a home For you For me Until it disappeared From me From you And now, it's time To leave and turn To dust
