“Music is life and nature never ceases to amaze us,” says the touching video’s caption, which was posted a few days ago and has already received over 280,000 likes and thousands of comments from netizens praising the musician’s gesture.

“Music is a universal language, you just need to have an open heart to its magic,” commented an Instagram user. “The love the world needs,” said another. “I still believe in wonderful people in the world. And with wonderful acts too,” affirmed a third netizen.
In an article on The Guardian website, Barton explained that he convinced the manager of the Elephants World sanctuary in Thailand to let him play the piano for the rescued elephants to celebrate his 50th birthday. Since then, he has been recording his moving performances on his YouTube channel.
“Their breathing slows down when you play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. […] I also think that elephants understand the language of human expression, which shows that music truly connects us all. It is a universal language,” he said in the article.
