Hey guys! We meant to have this love song ready to post on Valentine's Day, but we weren't able to get it done in time. 😩So...Happy month-after-Valentine's Day! Hope you like our rendition, inspired by Haley Reinhart's gorgeous version. It's another one we've had lots of requests for over the years...we kind of can't believe we haven't recorded it until now. People ask us all the time if we take requests, and we do...kind of! Basically if we get enough requests for a certain song, we will most likely make a video of it. So keep the requests coming! ❤️️❤️️
Special thanks to Paul Jacobson, Director of Photography extraordinaire, of Avatar Productions.

Lyrics:
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Brooklyn Duo Bio:
Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 700,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.
On a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover of her song Empire and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged the couple to continue creating videos.
Since then, Marnie and Patrick have released over 90 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 8 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Taylor Swift (who also tweeted about them, saying their cover of her song “Blank Space” sounded "like a song people should walk down the aisle to"). In 2016, the couple started a second YouTube channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience. With this new channel, Marnie and Patrick aim to showcase high quality, live performances of classical music. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets and percussionist Ivan Trevino.
In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect, a collective of some of the best young musicians in the U.S., to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” One of their covers was also recently featured in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

Jeez, that cello can speak. It literally has a voice.

the fact that you two are married makes this 100x better

I walked down the aisle to this cover in Aug 2023. Tears were flowing. Listening to it today still makes me so emotional ❤
-
I'm getting married a week from tomorrow and walking down the aisle to this version. I will be a mess because I cry everytime I watch this video. You both are amazing and I'm so glad I found this version to walk down to the love of my life ❤

As a fellow musician, there's something I notice every time and it's the amount of non-verbal communication in this video. It is spectacular. The way she leads and he follows in the beginning, then they switch roles near the end, and the amount of emotion and trust on display is insane. You can truly tell they're not holding their breath hoping the other doesn't mess up. The music starts and carries them both through every song flawlessly! I absolutely LOVE this channel! It's so great to see two of my favorite instruments brought to such an artistic and love-filled life. Love for making music, love for the instruments themselves, and the love for each other. It's simply phenomenal!
