@@thispenguin yeah, I remember that around when covid started. Unfortunate for such a sweet guy to get sucked into that. I specifically remember him posting something, indirectly addressing the hard times and people reacted by saying "Just say black lives matter." His audience didn't understand that speaking out about certain topics was uncomfortable for him because it went against his religion (thats at least how I understood it, as I myself am not a Christian). But from my perspective, he still wanted to offer some support to everyone and people didn't recognize that. So given the angry nature of his audience, I would agree overall that he handled it as best as he could.

Jeejj!! THAT'S ME! Saying we're going to his concert tonight. Awesome to see this movie. So funny that nobody recognized him. I was blindsided and didn't had the courage to ask to go on a picture with him. It's a shame! Love Adam Young!

Adam Young, is my favorite artist. His music has gotten me through some difficult times. Thanks Adam for letting Jesus use you to help me and make my life that much sweeter. :*)

Those workers are pretty lucky, having people play piano near you, listening to great music, even for just one day.

I've met him, and YES! He really is that humble haha! Still amazed by him even though it was 1,5 years ago!

even the workers in the background are in awe! he is very gifted :)

he is so wholesome

he's so sweet around fans. how could you possibly not fall in love with this guy. ♥

When I listen to his songs it makes me sad and happy and I think it's what owl city does to people he plays your emotions like he controls it from his songs he can make you feel sad and then happy the next

Oh sure :) I am 19 years old now, way back when I was 15, I started to become anxious. Panic attacks always attack me for almost like 4 times a day especially at night. There is a day when the worst attack came, I can't breathe , I am punching my chest and my heart is very very fast and strong I can feel its beat. I went to my mother and hugged her saying "Ma, Kung mamatay ko love baya taka" (Mom, If I'll gonna die today please know that I love you so much) she laughed because she thought it was just a troll because I am a normal kid , playing street games outside with no problem but when she saw me sweating a lot , she rushed me to the hospital. The doctor said I dont have any ilness, BP normal, blood count normal, and I am not even asthmatic. He said that my problem is psychological, and I am the only one who can heal it. It is a relief to know that it is psychological but still it attacks me. One day, out of curiosity what is Owl City, I bluetoothed a few songs from my friends phone to mine. A night later I was attacked and it was the worst attack. I dont know why but I played the song "If my heart was a house" and by the time Adam hit the first lines "Your the sky that I" I felt like I am floating , my breathing slowly went normal and I literally felt very very paper thin, it is so good , it feels like a kick from drugs (though I haven't tried yet haha) . And by the time the song hit the chorus my heart rate went normal from a very fast and strong state , I could even feel my heart beat when I am attacked. Since then, I loved owl city. I started downloading all his song (sorry for pirating :( , I live somewhere in the mountains of the Philippines where album is not available or costly and we dont even have credit cards to buy online but we have internet cafes where we can download T_T ) and I found that there is more magical songs there from Adam. I am a musician too so I've always looked up at Adam. After downloading the songs, every attack is just a one play to prevent . I've also discovered several Adam side projects like windsor airlift and Sky sailing that has also good music so relaxing . His music brought me to other worlds and imagination seems limitless. After I moved to another town to pursue college, the panic attacks that used to attack me suddenly vanished, but my love for Adam's works will never vanish ! :) I am typing this story panic-attack free hahaha . I am now saved , by his music. He may never know that this happened but I am a soul here who's very thankful for him.

Geez.......if I walked outside in my city to see Adam Young randomly playing the piano I'd probably die of heart failure..........right after I sang along to the song. XD

5:03 I always find myself coming back to this video and listening to that piano part. It's glorious.

if i ever see adam around here just walking around i'll probably just faint lol

It's sad how no one noticed who he was. If I was there, I'd freak out and want to hug him very badly.

2021 and I still love this video so much..

The best thing about music is that it reflects the character of the composer, other than some dreamland fantasies and extraordinary observation qualities 🦉 City music reflects the most important thing which a lot of people miss to have with them, that's Humility. What an amazing guy Adam is huge respect to him. Vanilla twilight will always be my favourite ❤️ I hope he stays Young forever.

I remember watching the livestream and I was so excited to see him play in Germany. Man, these were good times. Somehow in some periods of life, I like too hear his Music over and over again and remember the concerts I have been to. It will always be magical :-)

1:47 cutest laugh in history

He have’s such a beautiful talent I rlly adore him & I love his music nu matter if 2020 or in the future I always going to listen to his music bc is so heart warming 💐🌏✨❤️

I wish I was walking by just to meet him and tell him just that his talent is crazy and the music he makes is amazing!

lovely. i have a deep respect for him because of his association with pianos. i don't know why but i've always found his pieces to be absolutely beautiful.

i wish he would once just walk towards me, i swear i would never ever let him go ! x]

Wow...although he's playing Owl City songs, it almost sounds like a Port Blue song with the piano combined with the ambient sounds of the city. Beautiful. I wish cities in the U.S. did this. And this makes me love Adam even more.

Such a beautiful live stream of Adam 💖 , I Love watching this video and seeing his brilliance on display 🦉🐝🦋 🎶 X.. Plant Life 🦉🌷🥀 🎶 X..

I live in the netherlands and if i saw him walking then i would scream and cry because i love his music so much because i have never seen him live or something

I'm totally in love with this video. He's the sweetest guy ever xx

I find it very sad, that without knowing it, I found myself singing along to Plant Life. The best part is, it made my day. I think that I'm going to move there now. Pianos on nearly every street? I'm there. So cool! Nicely played, Adam! ^.^

paper tigers and plant life :3

Oh my!!! I can't believe that only two people knew who he was!!! Adam is great! I would have loved to be there!!!

Pretty sure I'd be totally fine if the rest of my life only consisted of me watching Adam play a piano...

are you watching this too?

I love when he gets done playing absolutely amazingly on the piano at 6:33 and he's shrugging his shoulders like "it's nothing." He doesn't realize just how amazing he is.

Little do those people knew who this man was I would lose my 💩 the only artist I would probably cry seeing because his music saved my life 🙏🏼

his smile is contagious

it's been pretty much years since i've actively followed him but i still go back to this video now and again bc he's a damn fine piano player and i remember being so happy when i was in the livestream. good memories

The second song he plays is soooo amazing! wish i could play like that.

I remember watching this live. And then like literally falling more in love with him every minute.

dont know but his fingers on piano always create magic. even if its for a second or 2, i find it very beautiful and angelic. those pianos were blessed. PS: HOW DUMB those people are who do not know how holy soul just passed by them.

Hope to see him in October in a concert. I always hoped to see him for many years since I was little. watching this only makes me more excited to meet him

Every once in a while I come here and watch Adam play Plant Life on the piano and it warms my heart! Thank you so much for uploading this, I wish I could find the full live stream somewhere!

I'd love to hear all of his songs played on the piano like this.. So beautiful.

I'm watching it again. Never gets tired. 😊 ❤ love from India!

He's so adorable! I love him

thats awesome, he is really good at playing!!

He is legenday vip

Dude I'd be freaking screaming my head off. Then I would faint from being exposed to too much of Adam's awesomeness. Then everyone would come running to see if I was ok. Adam would pick me up and I would just die in his arms.

Plant Life. Lovely D;

People started gathering up and listening thats so cute ^.^

...I just fell more in love with this man.

Even if I didn't know who Adam was... beautiful music in the streets like this make me stop in my tracks.

What is the song he played at 5:40 before he plays “plant life”??? Is so beautiful I have to know! 🎹 ♥️ 🎹
