It helps they’re both music majors at Indiana
They could actually answer the question as to whether they were rushing or dragging.
Really lucky to study what they like.
I studied something and worked something else. And now it's almost 40....
Yeah me too but I have money and most of my artist friends struggle all the time. Tradeoffs
I'm a music major and now teach History/Leadership at a high school.
I still teach piano on the side, but I also love my current job.
Follow your passions. Even if you don't make a major career out of it, you still develop what makes you, you.
Jacobs represent
I came here to say this. No one tried to steal the show. Both were wildly respectful of each other’s talents and no one tried to be the limelight. So good
Wait wait wait… are we all just gonna pretend like that girl wasn’t holding her pizza by the middle?
Yup. Perfect!!!
I get what you’re saying but hoosier favorite?
I see what U did there!
is this a Hoosier song?
It's called "Another Love" by Tom Odell. Beautiful song
0:37, back wall, huge Indiana University logo
Unless Tom Odell is a Hoosier, I am afraid not.
Do you mean Hozier? No, it's Tom Odell ☺️
yep, mispelled that, ty!
Those two know each other very well.
Yes, they were both so generous with each other. So cool to see!
Is this what rich people school is like?
This is what a Midwestern State university is like. (With a top 20 music school)
My drunk ass thought this was highschool.
Ok I might need to spend more time reading before posting.
The big IU sign on the wall helped me
You read the signs!?!?!?!?!?!
From Indiana. Can’t read. Just know shapes.
LETS GO HOOSIERS!!!!
I KNOW THOSE SHAPES!
We know. Sincerely, Michigan.
I'm guessing this is like my university where all freshman are required to have a meal plan, thus the dining hall is mostly full of kids who just graduated, hence why they're so young.
Top 20? Try top 5, easily. Depending on department, like vocal performance, it can be #1

I mean, I get what you’re trying to say, and I agree with the spirit, but it’s still technically a top 20 music school.
I went to a top 50 music school, and let me tell you, each one gets really mad when you try to say one is better than the other haha
and stuff like this would happen all the time around the hall that held the Music school.
this really brought a ton of great memories back
It’s what regular high schools used to be like back when there were music programs and funding and grants for instruments and whatnot.
Reganomics working as intended still and killing the middle class, education, and pushing towards a slave and slaver class divide.
This is straight up actually what my regular public high school was like and I graduated in 2011. Kids would walk around with their instruments. One kid always had a flying V guitar and a battery powered amp in his backpack. This was the era of flash mobs, so random group dancing happened not infrequently. I was once in a class with the radio playing when the entire class slowly broke out into a sing along of All Star by Smashmouth. This was a rural, small, poor high school in the foothills of Northern california. One of my classmates I graduated with ended up on Disney Channel. One of the rock bands was signed and has been making music and touring ever since. I'm a professional illustrator. Another classmate is a painter living in NYC who regularly sells out shows. Etc, etc.
We had terrible funding. It came down to the teachers. Long term (one only just retired after 55 years of teaching drama), dedicated, caring. Those teachers have all since retired and I know that amazing slice of the arts went with them.

I had the same experience in class with afternoon delight from anchorman lol
Nah, Im old enough to have been around when music and art programs were a thing. If this were in hs some bullys would have smacked them or thrown food at them for being band dweebs and a cafeteria monitor would have blamed them and told them to quit making a scene.
Depends, public schools are funded differently. In the 80s, all the schools I went to didn't have any such things. So the bully's usually smacked the books out of your hand just for walking down the hallway instead. Or the classic, friend pretends to shove another and he slams into you like a linebacker then blames his friend for "pushing" him. Ah, the good ol days.
It's Indiana University so not really.
Well rehearsed for sure.
Downvote all you want but he’s right. It’s cool, but didn’t need the clickbaity title.

Another Love - Tom Odell
Ta!
Da!
One of my all time favorite songs 🌹
Thanks! I figured it was a newer song but surprised to see it’s been around for awhile. I guess I live under a rock.
It's gotten huge over the last year or so on TikTok
Do yourself a favor and listen to the zwette edit.
Ty!
Odell always gets me good
Right now we may need emergency surgery in the studio
Love this song. This version by Marianne Bealieu is so haunting: https://youtu.be/p1cr9l_okmc?si=EaIIAQOMcACmF1De
The song is fine, but why doesn't anyone enunciate anymore when they sing? I don't know where this "style" came from, but it's really annoying and takes away from the song. Half the people - especially the females - on this season of The Voice "sing" like this, and the other half are some sort of Carrie Underwood/ low-budget Adele wannabes or something.
This just made me realize I love stuff like this as long as someone doesn't start singing.
Edit: Holy shit stop liking this my glee club friend is feeling attacked.
And they both look like exactly the type of people that would play their respective instruments. Except the piano guy looks like he can also play the guitar, but only wonder wall.

And 2 Beatles songs. And the opening of Stairway.
YESTERDAY...
ALL MY TROUBLES SEEMED SO FAR AWAY...
To the window to the walls…!
Thanks, now it's stuck in my head.
OH I BELIEVE, IN YESTERDAY.

Piano is basically a few guitars put together i think so yeah he could probably figure it out pretty quick.
ehhhh, not entirely. if you have an understanding of actual musical notation (not hating on tabs, I love them, it just makes this harder) and play guitar, you can usually pick up basic stuff on piano quickly because it's all laid out in a straight line front to back. a pianist going to guitar is more likely going to have a terrible time because the strings all start on different notes and then progress chromatically, but their not as plainly laid out
"Write some original songs!"
This was beautiful. Community is literally my obsession.
I feel ya. I'm rewatching it again after so many times I lost count. Protip: don't watch it on Netflix if you have alternatives (mine is Amazon Prime), because they removed the first DnD episode. I understand that Chang's makeup is... hard to swallow for some people, but the real fans understand that it wasn't meant in a hurtful way and he was even being judged in that episode for having that look.
I watched that episode on the high seas if you know what mean. I didn't find it offensive bc chang is quite literally an idiot.
That's the episode I show all my brother's, we're black, bc it really shows how well the show is written.
I'm asian and Chang is such a funny character, even when he does the weird stereotype jokes. You know what? He's such a funny character especially when he does the asian stereotype jokes.
I also watch Community while on the high seas, man. It's the best.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! This show is supposed to be gleeful and bright and fun, and you can let me do that, OR THERE CAN BE ANOTHER BUS CRASH!
That opera singer from the pizza restaurant video just rocks up and starts bellowing
Go ahead and link me brother
"WRITE SOME ORIGINAL SONGS!"
Really pretty, they sounded great together! I love the girl vibing in red at the end, she was feeling it!
Even Metallica dude loves a little soft rock now and again.
What are those!
Edit: this was meant as a reply to another comment, not sure how it ended up here.
Small versions of adults, honey.
toddlerpoles
You gotta appreciate metal's roots as much as what it has become 🤟

And some good planned rehearsal!
I know right. I watched all of the Office, but it sucked. The whole thing was scripted!!

For me, it’s the intent that matters. If it’s a scripted situation that looks real but there’s no attempt to convince me that it is, I see no issue with it. But if it’s a scripted situation that’s being presented as real with sensationalized, click bait titles and dialogue (especially if poorly executed/acted out), it annoys me and I avoid that content.
That's how people perform music, though?
I’m the saxophone player and Andy Morris is the pianist!!!
Love how music brings people together :)
You guys sound great
Appreciate that greatly!!!
That was amazing 🙌
Thanks!!!!!
Dude I’m not into music much and have listened to this like 20 times. You guys were fantastic👏👏👏
Oh look it’s IU lol
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen an IU dining court have music like this on Reddit lol. It’s almost like having a top 20 music school will do that.
Haha I just commented that this is the dining hall across the street from Jacobs. Tons of talented musicians all over the place
Bro what, this dining hall is called McNutt dining hall, it is brand new. 3 years ago
Ah shit it looked like Fosters when I was there lol. McNutt hadn’t been renovated yet when I was at IU. I lived in McNutt haha
All i can think about is if dude steps in a puddle hes fucked
What are those???
WATER! DOZE?
I think Yeezy slippers? Actual wtf when i saw those
Damn that white girl slowly swaying against the rhythm killed me. Lol
I reeeeeeeally wanted the sax player to not know how to play. Like at all.
HOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNKtwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <breath>
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!
The internet needs this edit
Thank you for making me snort-laugh
Unexpected, sure. That’s why the multiple camera angles.
Pretty sure it’s more unexpected for the kids on campus he is pretty famous at Indiana university for doing it solo at dining halls never with other people
welcome to 2023, multiple people have smart phones and record the same event, then post it online with the same hashtags, then someone downloads them all and cuts them together.
This is an entire category of tiktoks, there are hundreds of them with the exact same premise.

Great point, you're a sharp fella. I'm actually looking for smart folk like you to invest in my crypto currency
If you've ever played an instrument you'd realize there's an absolute zero percent chance of two randoms in the same school having memorized the exact same song, being in the same spot at the same time with instruments at hand if it wasn't scripted. You're a fool.
This is the cafeteria right next to Jacobs (at one point a top ten music school, now slightly lower). If there was any place that two talented musicians would know a pretty famous song, it’s there.
Many musicians don't need to have things memorized to perform off the cuff. In the saxophonist's case, if he's talented enough it would be nothing for him to play and improvise on the spot a song he's heard many times but never actually played.
being in the same spot at the same time
ah yes, the university cafeteria, a notoriously low-traffic area where only one music major is permitted at a time
As someone who was in music from 5th to 12th grade I can attest that your experience is not universal
Let’s see - they’re attending a top 20 music school in the US, the song is incredibly popular right now, and basically every student there has a recording device. It’s definitely not as clear cut as you make it out to be.
True. Still cool. Song?
Another Love
They're covering the latter part of Sandstorm by Darude.
The video cuts off right before the jumpoff
Unexpected as in planned, yes. But still unexpected for the rest of the people in the room I’m sure.
Look at how this makes you feel... my eyes teared up for no reason.. Music is Magical
Yeah the melody gave me chills, might cry to this song later. I'm not even sad about anything.
Fun fact: that’s called “frisson” and not all people experience it
That’s IU. Jacobs School of Music. That’s a top music school. Those kids know how to play.
They did a nice duet but why, in the lords name, is the sax dude wearing pretzels for shoes?
They were awesome. It was beautiful to see the happiness their music brought to the students and you could see the peace they were feeling on their faces while listening. Good vibes for all. It’s amazing what goodness a single act of kindness can bring to life.
I would've sung my heart out with them, this song has been a part of me for years.
For those wondering it's Another Love by Tom O'Dell.
The ladies: 😱😍🥰
The boys: 🗿
Hoosiers!!
I'm gonna come back to this when I van watch with sound
Definitely do, it's lovely!
Why do people look super excited? Is one of them like super famous?
more cuts than an american reality tv show
people ask all the time about why the arts are funded, the most brilliant mathematician in the world could stand on a table and give a lecture and maybe a handful of those kids in that cafeteria could understand what he was saying, and appreciate it. Everybody in that cafeteria understood what they were saying with their instruments and appreciated it. I am not putting music above math or art above science or any other field, they are all equal parts of a human condition, but before we created language and organized numbers into base 10 systems, and so on, we bang rocks together, put mud on her hands and smashed them against walls leaving a mark to say we were here.
This is wonderful but please keep and support early music education in public schools (elementary, middle and high schools) for children! It makes the world better.
nothing unexpected about this, why do people feel the need to lie about things when the truth has nothing bad about it.
That’s my alma mater! Go IU so awesome
What a beautiful duo. Does anyone know the name of this composition? I'd love to find it.
Lunch Hall & Oates
Unexpected with multiple cameras recording audience reactions.
These are always a set up. Which sucks because I want them to be real.
Yes the unexpected 5 camera 3 mic setup.
IU has America’s largest public music program!
Yeah, guy just happened to have a sax nearby.
Looks to be a school of some sort. Of all the places to randomly have an instrument on you, school isn't all that suspicious.
Definitely more believable than the subway.
Indiana University judging by the logo on the wall
It’s the dining hall across the street from IU’s Jacobs School of Music
I'm more curious about the guy carrying a piano around with him.
according to piano dude it's Wright dining hall, pretty near the Jacobs school so there's gotta be a lot of piano players lurking about https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/xlw2tl/he_nailed_it/?ref=share&ref_source=link
i’m like 90% positive this isn’t wright, wright is waaay older and one of the largest dining halls on campus. this looks more like godby (im pretty sure is the name), it was completed the year i graduated 2019 which is why it looks newer to me. i could be wrong for sure, im just having fun reminiscing!
Uhm, ever been in band?
Have you never been to a school? That's not unusual at all. You could make a case that it's staged for many reason. The presence of a sax is not one of them.
"unexpected" yeah that's why there's like 7 camera angles, fuck off quit trying to manipulate people into upvotes

Great vibes!!
I mean... Why can't the entire world just be like this?
Doesnt make me smile. Made my cry. Pureness. Togetherness. The love and feeling for the music, supporting the other instument in its way. Awesome is not strong enough to describe this.
I don't know if this was staged or just random greatness and i don't care but i just love that both of them stay back whenever other's part should be the main at times and neither of them tries to overshadow one another. This itself takes a lot of knowledge and awareness.
Absolutely awesome. Thank you for this...
👍
Best post I’ve seen in a long time!🥰
Love the duet. At some point the footwear distracted me though.
I mean...there's a camera it was expected...but very nice all the same.
Smiling faces, people engaged in the moment.. this was beautiful to see
Public musical performance is one of the few things left on this planet that we haven’t sucked the magic out of.
Amazing!
Define unexpected…
"Unexpected"... yeah. Sure.
this is a beautiful song but cmon there’s no way this wasn’t planned
An unexpected duet that was pre planned ahead of time
Talented people are cool
I waited 2 whole minutes to see the duvet being rolled out and then realised I read the title wrong, wtf..
I love the vertical video shot of the guy filming horizontally.
Not unexpected to the camera crew taking shots from various angles.
“Scotty doesn’t know “
That girl touching her Za like that ain’t right yall.
Someone ass getting laid tonight
"Unexpected"
Excellent those two are great.
At first glace I thought this said unexpected DUEL in the lunch hall and I was here for it.
I'm even more here for the wholesome DUET.
The moment I saw sax dude's shoes I knew I'm old
"unexpected" my ass
Just sick. Love it. This is original, ya?
This the school from victorious
Beautiful!
Thanks, I needed this. It's been a rough time..
Neither one tries to overshadow the other with their volume and they each yield to the other for their moments making the actual music the priority than themselves. Set-up or not they did a great job here and IF it was actually a random pairing than a sign of great musicianship / respect.
