    ► Story behind the song:
    Pathetic. That was what Beethoven’s publisher called the Sonata No. 8. The title stuck: “Sonata Pathétique.”
    So was Beethoven’s publisher totally trolling him?
    There are two distinct meanings of this word: “Pathetic,” meaning pitiful and worthless; and “Pathétique” -- meaning deeply meaningful and with feeling. I think you’ll agree, upon hearing Beethoven's masterpiece, that his publisher was referring to the second. (Hear the sonata’s Adagio Cantabile here: • Yundi - Beethoven, Ada... -- then comment on where you can hear it in our arrangement.)
    Pathetic and Pathétique.
    This is, perhaps, the same distinction Lauren Daigle (who we LOVE) sings about in her masterful tune, “You Say.”
    The world may say you’re pathetic, pitiful and worthless. Or worse, you may even say this about yourself.
    But there is another voice that says you’re Pathétique -- deeply meaningful and worth every feeling.
    Whose voice is that? It could be a mentor, a trusted friend, a family member. It could be the RIGHT voice in your head that doesn’t get enough air time. It could be a God that loves you with deep meaning and feeling -- with an endless and infinite love that is powerful and never pathetic -- an encircling love that doesn’t pull away, but holds you even closer when you fall short.
    Here’s what Lauren had to SAY:
    “When I wrote You Say...I felt like so many things were pulling me in so many different directions. I think a lot of times we build these complexes based on insecurity, based on fear, based on rejection, and lies that we have to constantly overcome. And so this song for me was just a reminder of identity. It was a reminder that I know when I’m weak, He’s strong-so how do I change that and bring that into my everyday life? When I feel inadequate how is it that there’s always these moments where I feel like God just steps in and supersedes my inadequacies. This entire song was so every single day I would get up on stage and remind myself-no, this is the truth, this is the truth, this is the truth. Don’t get buried in confusion. Don’t get buried in waywardness. Just remember to steady the course, steady the course.”
    Now here’s what Beethoven had to SAY:
    “O, you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the secret cause which makes me seem that way to you, and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back. Ah, it seemed impossible to leave the world until I had brought forth all that I felt was within me.”
    We think these songs were meant to be together. And perhaps there’s something to this, because only after we paired them, we discovered that Beethoven was 27 years old when he composed the Pathétique. Guess how old Ms. Daigle was when she wrote “You Say?”
    You guessed it. 27.
    As you listen to this, we hope it helps you silence the “pathetic” naysayer in you and embrace the “Pathétique” yeasayer that has always been with you. The one that wants you to stay. To get back up. To keep striving. To keep creating. To NOT leave this world until you have brought forth your art. ALL that is within you.

    OK. Vulnerable time. I had a very emotional experience atop the half-built building you see near the end. It was so beautiful to play cello there. As we were playing this song over and over again while we filmed, I thought about its meaning. I thought about where I was in my life emotionally. I expect a lot from myself. I always have. Often I expect too much. I admit it. And when I don’t reach the zenith of those expectations I can be pretty hard on myself. If ever there was incarceration for self-abuse perpetrators, I’d be prisoner of the month. As I was thinking about how much I still need to build in my life, a very strong impression came to me. Has that ever happened to you? When you feel an impulse that prompts thoughts that don’t feel like “normal thoughts.” They feel weightier, with more perspective or profundity than the average passing notion -- the same way a good bridge elevates a song by throwing you from a repetitive verse and chorus regimen. These are thoughts that teach you rather than learn from you.
    I had such a moment. They don’t come that often, but when they do I try my best to listen and learn. The impressions persuaded me to look at my life from the top of a half-built building. Figuratively and literally. I began to think that maybe I spend too much of my life in the bottom floors of my life’s construction project -- that I fuss over the mess of my jobsite, I fret over the lack of finishes -- the ugly marred subflooring or the exposed metal framing. I berate myself for being way behind in the building process. I was taught that I needed to ascend more often to the top floor. Where there’s a view of how far I’ve come, how high part of my building has reached. And most importantly, where there’s an incredible view of the sunset, reminding me that tomorrow is another day and that I should keep building one day at a time. I totally embarrassed myself as I shed tears, trying to describe these “elevated thoughts” to the site’s supervisor after we had finished filming and I was thanking him for the opportunity they had given us to give visual meaning to the music.
    So I guess for me, and perhaps for anyone listening, that could be a takeaway. You don’t have to live your life on floor one. Or floor two or three. Or on any floor that isn’t yet completed. It will get there one day. And so will you. Don’t worry that the building next door is at floor 10. Just take a trip to your top however often you need and watch the sun set on all that you’ve strived to accomplish. Remember that there is Someone who built that sunset for you. And He doesn’t care how high your building is, just that you’re willing to keep building. And He says you’re plenty high enough for Him to see.

      Thank you for sharing. :-) It makes the video even cooler, knowing it was a personal spiritual experience for you.
      One thing I loved about this video was "flipping" between the unfinished and finished building... like getting a glimpse of how we see ourselves in the here and now (accurately, as a work still in progress) versus the view of our "eternal selves" that God already has of us. In His timeless perspective, we are already who we are destined to become. I John 3:2 -- "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."
      I went through a really tough time when I was in college, being so hard on myself as you described, and driving myself into a dark place of depression and anxiety. The turning point came for me when I was able to really accept what I already knew in my head -- that God loved me for being His child, not for anything I accomplished, that my worth came from His love, and that nothing I do or accomplish could make Him love me any more. He already loved me enough to come to earth as Jesus to rescue me, and that perfection is what He sees when He looks at me. Amazing.

    One of the many things I love about the piano guys is that they show so much musicality and put so much feeling into the music they create. Being a violinist makeing someone feel something from music can sometimes be more challenging than having perfect technique. I'm so glad that I've been able to listen to your music for the past decade

    Jon, after hearing this beautiful melody I felt I had to share my testimony with you.
    On April 24, 2004 my 8 year old daughter was murdered by my neighbor just 9 days from her 9th birthday. Then on August 27th 2013 my youngest daughter took her life just 4 days before her 17th birthday. Having lost both of my only children I had no will to live. On Friday October 25th 2013 I made the choice to end my life, but God had other plans for me. My wife got me out of the house and took me to speak with a therapist and after that she took me to see an ex girlfriend who was a manager at a local restaurant. She was going to give me a job so there would be someone to keep an eye on me so I wouldn't hurt myself. After all the running around, by the time we got home it was late in the evening and I wasn't feeling any better. I was sitting on my front porch unshowered and still wearing the same clothes I had been wearing for 6 days. I was at my lowest and had nothing left. My wife was sitting next to me trying to talk to me when I heard a voice that said I needed to go to church. On Sunday October 27th I went to a church near my home. Nobody there knew me or anything about what was going on in my life. That Sunday the head pastor wasn't doing the sermon, but instead was being given by the assistant pastor. As he began to give the sermon the head pastor got out of his seat and walked up to the podium. He said " I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just received a message and I was told to give it to someone who came to my church today." He said "I don't know who you are but God wanted me to give you this message." "He said that he knows that you're dealing with a great deal of hurt, pain, suffering, and a major loss in your life and he wants you to know that he's going to give everything that Satan has taken from you and he's going to give it back 10 fold." At that moment I felt a total peaceful presence come over me. All thoughts killing myself and sadness left my mind. God saved my life that day and restored my faith. 🙏🙏🙏

I lost my oldest son to suicide (in June) and last night, my beagle-basset peacefully passed away (raised him from 12 weeks to 9.5 years old). I needed to hear this song - and I sang every word of it as you played it. I just feel like I'm done -- and this is just a simply beautiful reminder that I needed to hear - I'm tired, I'm grieved, but I'm not done.

It's special, because in a weird way, I feel like it was made just for me. The God that's out there works in mysterious ways. Some may not feel this way, but I respectfully believe that a medley like this shows pictures that are pursuing us to keep living life to the fullest.

    lauren's song means so much to me. My partner was near death, I was actually asked at the hospital what would he want for his last days. I listened to this song so much because of the phrase in it about not being enough. My partner says this so much. that was over a year ago, he had another surgery two weeks ago and we are steal healing

    Just seeing an ever expanding love for the music which flows through all of you is a gift, and one sorely needed and appreciated.
    God speed on all your journeys, for I believe you have carried all of us into adventure and dreams through every note and measured pause. I am thrilled at the chance to hear more.

    I want you guys to know how much your music means to me. If I had known at the start of the year, when I decided my New Year's resolution would be to dust off my old saxophone and start playing again, how important that would become this year... But shortly after I started searching KRplus for musical instruction and inspiration, and found your videos. You have inspired me to push myself further musically than I might have otherwise, and every single one of your videos makes me tear up because of the raw musicality of your performances, as well as just how genuinely awesome you are as people. I don't want fame or fortune, I'm perfectly happy with my day job, but I would love to someday be good enough on my sax to get invited to collabs with musicians halfway as great as you guys are, so I keep practicing, and your music is a big part of why, so thank you.

Between your music and the scenery, they're so very awesome! You don't need the scenery, it's just a plus for us, thanks!!! In the video, can you tell me where y'all are at, like what's the place called (the rocky mountainous area) away from the Science & Technology Building - the next scene @ about 3:18 into video where y'all are out on the rocks/mountainous area? Also, why did y'all pick this particular spot? I'm not from there, so I don't know if it has some significance, or if it was just convenient???
      It's been said, of the difference between someone who's been educated in a particular subject, even well educated in it for years, say for instance music, (since this is why we're on here), and someone who has a passion for it, like you apparently do. Education and passion are two totally different things, but put them together and it becomes even more powerful. One can be musically educated, but it doesn't compare to being gifted and having a passion for it. It's just not the same. A musician's profound love of music can be heard, felt, and seen, even if you can't actually see them. This is how y'all play!!! Thank you so very much for this!!!

I love the heart shaped red rocks in the overhead shot with the Piano Guys playing in the middle of it. It must have been quite the feat to get them setup atop that rock.

    There are millions of words out there. There are millions of notes, melodies, tunes, and songs out there. But every time I listen to the piano guys, it is as if everything is put into one piece.
    I have played the Sonata Pathetique on the piano, but the way they have arranged it makes it a whole new piece... But in a way, Beethoven is still peeking at us from underneath those notes.
    And when the songs change -- or not really changing, because it is a one big song now -- I can't get enough of it. It is simply brilliant. Magical. Enchanting. I love it.
    Every song the Piano Guys play, it seems to follow a storyline. There is a beginning, then a climax, then finally an ending.
    This song was wonderful.

I'm learning about my personality traits that all contribute to a state of constant stress and I don't know how to fix it. This song came on and I started crying. The loudest voice I hear right now is my own telling me that everything is too hard and I can't do it.

    I discovered Beethoven's "Pathetique" through a novel I read earlier this year, in which the main character used his masterpiece to describe the deep pit of sorrow she felt, while also contrasting the beauty she found within it. Over the past few months, I studiously listened to Beethoven's Sonata 8 on the way to school, on the way to not-school after it had been shut down, and as I pondered my graduation cancellation. Through the isolation i experienced because of covid, i resonated with the beauty of the "Pathetique". Something i of course misinterpreted as "Pathetic" was not that at all, and it offered a greater perspective that hard things are beautiful. So for that, i thank you for uniting two powerful songs. Well done.

      Incredible, Alyssa! I feel that one of the Divine roles of music in our lives is a messenger. The right song in the right place at the right time is so powerful. Thank you for being a second witness of this for me.
