The story behind the song:
Each time we write/arrange a tune we take a journey. We have to admit-this journey took us a lot further than we expected. Retracing our steps reveals several factors that made this a reality. As we started arranging it we had serious writer's block. Perhaps some of the worst we've ever had. In fact, one day instead of writing we went around the entire studio with a can of WD-40 and coated every piece of metal to ensure that we were a squeak-free studio. Then on a whim we decided to back away and take an entirely new approach to the song-an African approach. It may seem random in retrospect, but at the time it was an exciting way to restart the arrangement. It was working, but our journey still was on foot until we called in Alex Boye, one of the most talented people we've ever met. Alex has this contagious energy that gave new...

We'd like to thank from the bottom of our hearts, Duane Fielding who offered the helicopters and SkyHawk www.skyhawkhelicopters.com for not dropping the piano... :-) Half-way through the first day of shooting we discovered that, as typical guys, we had forgotten to bring ANY food or water to this remote location. We had two options: one, wrestle a mountain rodent and harvest cacti or two, starve. Duane, our head pilot, took pity on us. He took off (literally) and moments later landed in a Wendy's parking lot, ordered 5 of everything (sadly, he couldn't use the drive-through) ...took off again and brought us chicken sandwiches and hamburgers via airmail. Thank you Duane! Flying in your helicopter was a dream come true for us despite the lack of doors. =)

European songwriters, American instrumentalists, African singer. The only thing that brings this world together into true beautiful harmony is music. Amazing. Thanks for coming to Red Rocks, it's a night I won't forget!
+Katie S also add a touch of the japanese shamisen, or the chinese flute
+Katie S I think the world will truly find peace and get rid of hatred if everyone listened and collaborated with instruments....only then would the world be perfect
+MyChemicalLove011 pgajtw00uwmx7jhjujmt0pjuqt kd
+Jordan Wallace But that's where you are wrong. British is a country nationality or a classification of a citizen.
Katie S is talking about the singer's ethical background,which is African.
I'm agree with you.
Anyone watching in 2024?
Yes! I watching from Brasil!!!

Anyone listening to this in 2020? :)

Listening to this after Chadwick Boseman passing away hits different. Rest in power king! 🙏🏽
ME TOO! lol I was looking for this comment
That violin HIT DIFFERENT
same brother
😢😢😢
Facts 😔🙏🏿❤❤❤
I basically grew up on the piano guys, I just barely remembered them and now I'm totally lost in the nostalgia. Completely timeless.💜💜
I first heard this in my high school piano class 9 years ago. The teacher asked us to close our eyes, listen to the music and create a story out of it. I won’t tell you the story I formed- but it was quite adventures and … still is. Beautiful music shows us the beauty of life. Thanks to two of my favorite musicians- Alex Boye and the Piano guys. You have always rocked!
Similar story, 6 years ago I had to do the same thing this brings back memories
this deserves an honorary position on the Lion King soundtrack
The old one maybe. This is too good for the new one.
@@ThatOtherRaccoon with the comment being from 8 years ago, i think that was definitely the intent
@@posyPhantasm this saddens me
yes.🤩💯

I’m glad I’m not he only one here from a couple days ago.
Amazing music! Its 2022 - who's still with me?
Do I still count?
me!
I
Me!!!!!!
Me! Haha
It's been years and I still come back to hear this beautiful song.
I remember listening to it for the first time, when I was still at highschool, and buying the disc that same day. It grew on me, I listened to it every day, and now, with all due respect for Coldplay, whenever I hear the iconic melody of this song, this is the version that comes up to my mind.
Such a beautiful interpretation. Thank you, for being part of my life.
Anyone in 2023?
I am. ❤
Yep!! I am still here 10 years a later ❤
@@vivienne_lavida 👏👏
I love this song so much.
Ye
I was at Bryce Canyon when they recorded this and they filled the whole canyon with beautiful music. It was magical!
I have always wanted to go to a concert in a canyon. I bet the music would echo in your heart and mind for years
Wow! I bet that was like a religious experience!! I love Bryce.. (I took my photo I have posted down there a few years back) and southern Utah in general:) It’s such an amazing place.. It’s been too long since I’ve down there. I don’t have too good of an excuse though, I’m only in SLC;) Soon..
would have love been there; such a beautiful video
That's epic! Been there but not with such elegance
Goodness. Once in a lifetime chance. That's incredible.
This is music, when you don't understand but you still feel
cest de la merde
Lavez-vous, c'est vous qui sentez la merde !!!
when you feel , you've udnerstood already ^_^
yea, thats right, i love to feel the music mor than the coreography or the dance, sorry i dont know many eanglish, im from Mexico, but i know a littlebit of eanglish and you are correct, the thing that is important is feel the music
It's like the saying, "c'est le vie".
Anyone in 2024??
Me!!
Guilty
Ja, ich. Ich liebe diesen Song mit diesem Arrangement. Und ich liebe die piano guys
Yep
Pure nostalgia
This song gives me a feeling that everything's gonna be ok.
AdrianaYah Yisrael I feel the same way
AdrianaYah Yisrael Me too!
Same here
you’re saying right words
It will.
This reminds me that I still love humanity.
You must have lost faith in humanity when you kept your username as killer keemstar
Irony, people pretend to be o'que are not !!
"psst you want some bleach ?" follow me you stupid fucking gnome. (KILLS KEEMSTAR)
gnome you on crack
Killer Keemstar ☺
I'm criying now.. because 6 years ago i listen this song every single day with my old sis.
2 year ago she died from Covid and now hit different..
Just like this song, i hope she in paradise right now.
Eu não me canso de ouvir essa versão... há anos, música fantástica !!!!
That prayer of gratitude to God at the end (in Yoruba) really brought tears to my eyes. Lovely performance
Emmanuel Olaleye I would love to know what it means! :)
@@stephaniescribes1800 It means, "God, we thank you, we are grateful for the good things you've done for us"
I thought as well, hearing 'Oluwa'
Peace to you from a US follower of Odin, I believe we have a guide in common, may your roads be peaceful and you life long and prosperous.
Emmanuel, I'm a Hungarian woman from Europe, I dont speak Yoruba , but when I listen this music I feel God on my side.
This song makes me realise that Music is the universal language :) I can't understand but I can feel it :)
Hoàng Khôi Nguyên me too
I remember the first time I heard this cover, it blew me away and became my favorite version of the song. It moved my soul, beautifully composed and powerful. Amazing work!!
I heard it on Friday for the first time. I love the original but this one hit differently ❤️ now it is my favorite version
This song hits, and I still love it no matter what. :)
Anyone here in 2024 ? ❤
It sounds like hes saying "Pekoni" in finnish which means bacon. Bacon has always deserved a song like this.
You know nothing Jon Snow
Silly comment, I liked it though :)
Ba-CON BACON BACONNN BACON

Still amazing in 2023. Amazing artistry in music and the visual arts . Love it!
The singer is Alex Boye? If I had my hearts desire of anyone on earth I could meet in person, it would be him!! He's majestic, hot, has a cute smile and dimple, got the moves goin' on, and his voice is powerful! I just keep hitting the 'repeat'!! :)
Shirley Curry Shirley, I didn’t expect to see you here!
Ha! I'm binge-watching your Skyrim playthroughs, pop over to the Piano Guys for some relaxing music, and here you are again! You're so fun. xD
Cool grandma I wish I had a granny like you
Wish I had a grandma like you madam
Bruh
I don't understand his language but you know what? It soothes my ear and my heart says I love this.
+Flowey Haha. Me too I want to see this. I think this is awesome on live performance. :D
You accurately stated me sentiment. Music is universal. This was beautifully executed.

IT IS AMAZING
***** You are so lucky to see them! I am from Asia and I am far away from them.

Not to be rude but HES WAKANDIAN

Alex Boy'e is amazing
There's music, and there's this. Priceless stuff right here!!
We are lucky to hear this song in live tonight with The Piano Guys in Brisbane. It is so amazing concert! Lots of laughter and beautiful music. My son and me enjoyed every moment. I do appreciate that Steven told kids keeping practicing their string instruments. “You will enjoy the feeling of FLY”. The only thing is the concert is too short. Hope to see you again soon!
Still gives me chills years after first hearing this... Wonderful job

YOU GOT A HEART😭😭😭

@Arnold Schwarzenegger I think it's @/academyofwealth - a beautiful video 🙏
Wait never dare to chase your dreams...?
Wakanda Forever. Rest in Power, Chadwick Boseman.
i actually love this version more than the original
Me too.
Same
Me too! I didn't even know of the original one before you all mentioned it
I don’t think I’ve ever heard the original one. I don’t remember where I came across this, but have always loved it.
Yes...aloha 💓
2022 anyone? Because I still can't get over this production
Recuerdo la primera vez que escuché este cover, cuando me preparaba para postular a la universidad, me impactó y se convirtió en mi versión favorita de la canción. Es febrero del 2024 y aún sigo escuchando esta maravilla. Realmente una de las mejores producciones de The pianoguys.
RIP Chadwick Boseman, our African Black Panther🖤🙏
ThePianoGuys AND Alex Boye? TOGETHER?!My life is officially complete.
You didn't see this when it came out 3 years ago?
Nope, I guess not.
I like how Steven is always smiling when he plays the cello. That's how music is supposed to make you feel. When I used to play the violin as a kid, I wanted to play music from the movies, like star wars. I never got to play what I wanted to, and lost interest. These guys make me wanna play again. They play things that make them happy, not because some teacher wants to play old classical stuff.
So powerful. Moves your soul. The cello is haunting, rhythm perfect, singer magnificent.
The whole project got me thinking How Great God Is....He made the land, the light, the men, and then He inspired them to go and perform for us, to leave us in awe, and to think about Who is the MASTER behind all this show...I praise YOU LORD!!
❤
Boye's voice matches the scenery: majestic, noble, awe-inspiring, monumental; in a word: glorious. The Piano Guys are pretty neat, too.
Who else enjoys this in 2022?
12 years later still a banger
when 2 cultures collide you get an art explosion like this.
And it is absolutely fucking beautiful.
Cryptic342 agree, i love this!
Dedicated to the eternal Black Panther Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda receive this soul forever R.I.P. ❤
yes r.i.p. rest in peace ❤️
Still listening to it in October 2023!
Been a fan since the beginning ❤️
Your playing, and this artist's voice... is just soul-piercing... love from Palestine ❤❤
HOLY FREAKIN....CRAP! THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG I'VE EVER HEARD....PIANO GUYS?! I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN. *Calming down* But seriously, wow...I can't believe how beautiful all of this music is ....
I could cry

IKR, ITS SO GOOD
I know
Like heaven, it is....
Ikr this song is SOOOOO Amazing!
This song breaks my heart even if I don't understand it. It makes me peaceful, happy, positive, one very kind atmosphere (esspecially this version). I love instrumental melos, without some unneeded words. This is where song talks ❤

No. Just no.

Tyler Virnig I personally like the original version *by far*
yeah it pretty good. but I like peponi BY FAR

This was peak Piano Guys. Still miss these kind of videos.
2023. Still one of the most beautiful songs ever! ✨✨✨✨✨
that guy.. Alex boye i don't know what he is saying But Damn its so beautiful!!😍😍
Agreed
Indeed
I get the Peponi part for the beginning and I know it has to mean something
These guy's slogan should be,
"To boldly go where where no piano has gone before!"
Right?! Every time I see one of their videos, I get mentally caught up on the logistics of bringing a grand piano to these gorgeous locations.
Jenna Mitchell or maybe... Those are from a green screen
based on the camera angles/the way the videos were shot, lighting/shadows, reflections on the instruments and on the people... it would have taken a pretty effin close to impossible god like skill of green screen editing power to make these videos exist... good thing its not green screen or i would've suffered a mini existential crisis
To a point it's probably actually cheaper to do that on site rather than in front of a green screen
Watching this over and over this March 29, 2024... The magic never fades...
10 years later and this is still amazing. Love the collaboration of the Piano guys and Alex. You all made a masterpiece together.
Amazing how they literally got a piano up there just for their subscribers. Such daredevils, especially the Cello player. i would be scared shitless knowing that one wrong move could make you fall off a cliff that is god knows how tall. Amazing, thank you ThePianoGuys
I would jump off a cliff any time
XD
He actually almost did.
Miku Hatsune its the fear that will kill u, conquer that and enjoy the beauty that is the world around us
I don’t understand who would dislike this
Racist white people or internet trolls
Such is life. There will always be someone to dislike a good thing. So remember that when you do something good but still someone looks down on it
racist who is listening to stupid k-pop
Those people need to get a life
most possibly racist people
Western instruments+ african singer is a miracle, absolutely fantastic combination.but i wish they showed a real paradise nature country something like Thailand,sri lanka,bhali,peru....
11years?? Crazy to think I remember when this came out. Love this song
The Echos across the canyons must have been awesome!
alex boye is a legend
This video was filmed in South Africa. Swahili African language vocals are so cool and awesome. Piano guys are amazing duo they have the coolest instruments songs. Huge fan.
this video was filmed in southern utah, the location is in the description box
I remember listening to this the day it released 😭😭😭 it its beautiful such a jewel
It is November 2021 and I still come to this song every once in awhile! One of the best productions of The pianoguys
here in 2023! Never get tired of this song!
@@Briana-es9zx eyyyy same
Agree ❤
It's 2024 now and I still do. It's one of my favourite songs to calm down to and just be happy in the moment. It never fails. A true masterpiece.
I'm moving to Tanzania and this is the language ill be speaking in! Go Swahili!!
Sanna Wensel sorry this is not swahili..only peponi is swahili but welcome to Tanzania 😊
Thanks! I'm moving in August hopefully!! Hope I can see you there!! ;)
Sanna Wensel i will be here 😊
SansTheHoundoom did you move?!:p
I started listening to these guys around
2018 when I use to work for limo company
Planettran / Avalon there was this other limo driver name Patrick that got me into these guys I'm glad he got me into these guys
Thanks Patrick for getting me into listening to these if you ever see this post here 🙂
I was 6 when this first came out and I'm fifteen and still listening to it- It's very calming and helps me escape the shitty parts of reality of a little bit :)
Same
Hold on Lil Bro. It's going to be a wild ride.
Ngl I randomly remembered this song from when it came out too
The man is quite the performer.
Dear PianoGuys,
With all of your videos, you have filled my days with joy and pleasure. The first thing I did when i came home today was listen to this song and just relax with a cup of coffee. Thank you for all of the hard work you guys put in the production of your content.
Kind Regards,

I'm on my begging for more 🔥🎼🎻🎹

So glad. Amazing work...
SaucyNetwork I did the same with weed instead, have a nice day
2022 and still m still in love with this song..❤️❤️🥺
Africa is so beautiful! Even though I am from Georgia (Europe) I feel like its original home for me. I think, History does not lies when it claims that we are all from Africa
True, however, the background you see is Utah.

WOW!! This is so upbeat, literally I LOVE the beat and rhythm, makes me want to dance!! Alex Boye is amazing!!
12 years. And I never forgot this. ❤
masterpiece ❤
I’ve been looking for this for so long until I looked up, African guy on top of canyon song.
Wow. I am glad I run into this after 3 year. The song makes more sense to me in Swahili
👏👏👏😆 this just makes me at ease. I love it.
+GITOSH can you translate it? :) i am wondering what the lyrics are :D
+Paweł Sawicki dude, it's literaly Paradise from Coldplay, with maybe some tweaks
+NICROMIN i meant all lyrics ^^
It's called pepponi
*Sometimes music is the only medicine the heart and soul need*
well said.
Anyone listening to this masterpiece again in 2023?
When music can give you chills that run up your back and neck and down your arms, thats the right answer 🎉
I think that this version is better than the original :)
So much better than the original :D , think the same = )
И оригинал и ковер по-своему одинаково хороши.
Very true 👍
This just gives my spirit wings to fly. I feel my soul expanding into the unimaginable infinite eternities. Glorious!

Discovered this song 9yrs ago while in uni, my comment shud be somewhere around here stating that im Tanzanian.
Its 2023 nd m still here, the choreography in this song by the piano guys is unmatched. Its jus an amazing tune.
finally a fellow Tanzanian who got same music taste like me. asee hawa jamaa wanajua bwana.
I have been hearing this song since I was five
If I could just be 10% as lit as alex boye is in this video life would never be boring.
Best comment ever
I'd love to see Alex and the Piano Guys do more together.... amazing!
Agreed!
