    First time hearing this song. Reminds me of my ‘special friend’, who died just before the epidemic. He was a romantic and a dancer. I imagine myself wrapped in his arms, dancing so closely. Makes me remember all our best times. Thank you for this beautiful, smooth song.

    This music masterpiece reminds me of my dad... from playing this tune on cassette to now playing it on Apple Music in his car. (Memories)

    Years after commenting. To explain... I worked in a pub, in Nottingham UK, in the '90s. There were live standard jazz bands, at lunch and over the weekend. Others a bit more out of my knowledge. 'Mind the gap' played this one night. I was flabbergasted. I wish them well.

    What an amazing gentleman. Don't think there is a single piece of music he has written that does not move me. Thank you.

      He always surrounded himself with compatible souls to play his music. And in his solo work you get the man himself. I love him like he was my brother.

    Beautiful song. Never thought I'd be moved by a flute solo, but here we are. Oddly not on Spotify but the rest of the album is

    Ive never understood why his music was not more widely known, it is so smooth and easy to listen to, and beautifully nuanced.

    The combination of the so many instruments to come with such a melodius tune, is just inspiring

      It touches the soul, doesn't it. I also get tears in my eyes. But I also listen to it when the stresses of the day get too much and I just need to be soothed. And loved. Massive power in Abdullah Ibrahim's spirituality. I was transported when I watched him play this in a darkened theatre and it took me hours to re-emerge into the harshness of the day afterwards.

    I love this music! I don't know why, but every time I listen to this song, I start bawling like a baby. It sounds like the kind of music you'd play at a loved one's funeral, a memorial service, or even a wedding. 😭

    Words almost escape me when listening to this. It is really awe-inspiring and emotionally intense. It creates such calmness within me and a yearning for peace.

    • @sandyshell1192
      @sandyshell1192 Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, exactly. I turn to it whenever the stresses of our world become overwhelming, to find peace and a spiritual calmness - a dextox if you like. His own spirituality speaks to us through his music. Magic.

    I also appreciate that we can actually comment on this video. For some reason, some CZcams video channels have *turned off* comments. However much we love the song on the video, we cannot comment that we love the song. Why the hell is that? Why do channels turn off comments? That makes no sense.

    Now you know what happens when you take a Filipino karate black belt & turn him loose in front of a Steinway (no Steinways were hurt during the making of this recording).
