Daniel Padim - Song For a King

When he comes full circle and revisits the gentle opening melody it's like holy crap, I've been on such an incredible journey that I almost forgot that this is where it all started.

Coming back after 4 years. I still treasure this song. That was fuckin killer

Definely, one of the best musicians of our time.

I can listen to this song night, day , afternoon , morning or evening .... every time i get a different euphoric chill listening to it .
If inspiration was a song this would be it !

Guitarists like you always remind me why I love guitar so much. There is a point in guitar mastery in which you are able to express such a wide variety of emotions with an en even wider selection of motions emphasized with precise notes. This is a wonderful composition. I immediately admired your playing style from the "A sky full of Stars" video (my first time witnessing your dexterity) .Maybe one day, I can get your opinion on some of my work. Once again I must say, I look forward to becoming as agile and apt a guitarist - and even more eventually - as you, Daniel Padim.

Daniel's a new fan, my 80 year old Mother. The beauty of this music transcends age. Thank you.

Still can't find another acoustic guitar piece that even comes close to this. Best I've ever heard.

Thank you Danielle I've never heard music like this and I've played a lot of music I played drums and I just thank you from the bottom of my heart to bring something beautiful I'm just glad I lived long enough to hear you play

I can just picture a king on his throne in the courtyard listening. God has blessed this man with talent!

I listen to this at least 5 times a week. I wake up humming it a lot.
I pretty sure this is my favorite guitar song ever.

Wow Daniel! I was sitting here with collarbone, shoulder,and neck injury from a bad fall a few days ago. I struggled to get my arms up high enough, but got my earphones in my ears, and the first thing I see on my phone is your beautiful title to this song. I played it, and it was like three second that song touched my eardrums, it went directly to my heart. Probably some of the medicine I'm on for pain, helped, but here I amI, a 52 year old manly man, a guitarist myself, a welder, and forger of steel,..started crying...it just got to me.
I think your choice of music and style of your arrangement you put into your materials is exquisite. It's beautiful, meditational, and soulful. Such stellar talent, never stop, it's a gift to the world to be able to compose/play like that my friend!

Sou violonista e não é questão de opinião, falo com convicção, o Daniel hoje é um dos maiores músicos do mundo

My most favorite guitar track of all time. Incredible how many emotions are transported. The song structure is overwhelming, as it leeds to this phenomenal grand final. You can listen to this a 1000 times and you will discover something new. "Song from a (guitar) king" 🔁

There is only 1 King and that King is responsible for the creation of music itself. We are so blessed to arrange those notes and chords in the orders that we desire and are ultimately grateful for life and His saving us from sin. Thank God.

No wonder this song is amazing! Its a song for the King of kings and Lord of lords:) keep at it my brother in Christ!

Those harmonics melt my heart.😍😍 Authentic💯💯masterpiece.

This probably the only song that has managed to reach to my inner feelings. This song to me is the closest to God I could be. Thanks Padim.

From one believer to another, I appreciate such a beautiful song dedicated to the Lord.

With out a doubt, the greatest modern acoustic guitarist

Thank you, Daniel for another beautiful arrangement. Your skill and God-given gift are truly a way to brighten a day!

Great job. I like the added principles at the end too. It’s always good to stay humble when gifted (and worked your ass of for) with amazing talents.

What I find amazing is that Daniel is able to perform the piece in all of his takes at the exact same speed as the recording, so that the video syncs up. That's a level of musicianship and attention to detail that comes with someone willing to work as hard as possible, because they truly care about the music they are making. And the result is something beautiful like this.

I actually like how his breathes are in the audio. Just a really raw and beautiful recording

Every single time I watch this ...I weep...every time. Watched it at least 100 times now.

A song that could remind a man weighed by a heavy crown to, for a moment, forget the burden and remember the possibility. Song for a king indeed. Magnificent.

Hoo-yah Proverbs 29:11! Amazing chapter I just finished a full Proverbs read-through.

Rock on for the King! Happy for all the good things in this life- like this song, keep up the good work, you will find rest. I am so glad that we share the most important thing in life, love/ Johannes

Mathew 5:5 blessed are the meak, for they shall inherit the earth.

The best song I've heard in the last 20 years; that's not an exaggeration!

At the end of the song, a proverb was cited. It invokes the need for silent regards when angered be by factions that are unbecoming. I've learned this and practice incredibly it's institutions. Yet when recognized by others I am sought out to be tested to show their preditory infirmity. It is yet a sore travail that after years of tempered resolutions, that we must again fight for the free virtues of our hearts. We shall prevail, but there is seemingly no end to the evil of injustice...
Daniel Padim my brother. Thank you for your virtuoso in a playing style that is so difficult to master but comes through a shining pinnacle of talents got for a king...

This song hits my heart strings like he's holding it in place of that guitar early this year my best friend ended up well he passed away I don't wanna be flagged but you know when I hear music like this I know that every thing he stood for in this world is still here he loved music and was a savant in every aspect of the word he could pick up anything and play with proficiency thank you Daniel for this beautiful song 😊

Thank you Daniel Padim, excellent use of time, octave, and percussion, and the proverbial finish was sublime rapture to boot.

Man, listening to that song has been one of most beautiful and bittersweet moments that I have had in the entirety of my life. Thanks for that!

Everything Daniel Padim touches turns to gold!

Thank You! Daniel You live it not play it, I love emotion and skill :)

This is the BEST video Candyrat has put out in a while....kudos Mr. Padim this was an epic piece of musicality...I love it👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯

Daniel the master ❤ of his craft 👏

My favorite guitarist I have heard in such a long time. He is going to slap the binding off that guitar.

This is probably the best guitar piece I've ever heard. Incredible tune. I listen to it regularly

This is absolutely amazing! I always look forward to his songs. This guy is a legend!

That's one of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever heard....Amazing!

Stray observations after reading some of the comments here:
1- there are people actually believing they are breaking some sort of 'big news' telling the audio was recorded in Studio. Duuh, obviously. How do you think this kind of videoclip is made? Besides IT IS IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION. Sheesh
2- Indeed, as they say, the ignorants are the most self-assured. People stating categorically that It is not just one guitar. Hey guys, sorry to break it to you, but you're wrong. Maybe next time try to ask instead of acting like you know and making false statements. (to be fair some indeed asked, and to those, kudos for being reasonable human beings)
Conclusion: Hats off to Daniel Padim. His playing literally put people in a state of disbelief.
To achieve that in this era of overabundance of information, and with so many good players posting videos, is really a compliment to his playing.

One of the best, if not the best, finger style guitarist ever! A legend, to say the least!

You are Daniel padims guitar doppelgänger! Fabulous! I didn’t even understand how he played that song your version is almost flawless! Thank you! I love that song in case neither one of you could guess. I listen to it every day’ again thank you both!

Daniel I've been watching your videos over the years and I think you really have become a special and unique guitar player. Great technique, melodies and trademark 'Padim' harmonics!

"I'm just off to the shops"
"You're not taking your guitar again are you?"
........................"bye"

"Have you seen a man skillful at his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before common men." Solomon, Proverbs 22:29. For sure, king David (Solomon's dad) will be amazed by your talent upon his resurrection.

Que orgulho de ter o Brasil representado por esse monstro!

His facial expressions are just too magnificent

That takes harmonics to a whole new level. Wow

I like this music. The best for my ears

Why do I see this only now?! These pinch harmonics go really wild at the end. Those intertwined with the hammer-ons and pull-offs is sooo nice! What a great song..

This song plays like an anthem. It really is fantastic.

Correction: Song BY a king 🙂 Totally amazing 👍

Saw an upload with Daniel Padim in the title and got excited for a new song and then realized its a new music video for a song off Legitimate. Not upset in the least bit though, absolutely fantastic song. I feel like Legitimate is a criminally underrated album and it's great to see more songs get the spotlight on Candyrats channel

Easily one of my favorite videos on this channel, and I’ve been a subscriber since the early days of YT.

Can't stop coming back to this video, the music is mesmorising and I can't wait for the new stuff!!!!! Love it Daniel

Ok then, I'm becoming obsessed with this tune !

Hit like a few days ago...knew it would be amazing and it is! Such a talented artist and performer! Nicely shot music video, too.

I love ALL of this! Most of all guitar of course, but the location was great and cinematography was really good too!

Sempre que vejo esse vídeo, penso: quando eu “crescer”, quero ser “grande” assim! 🔥

True music comes from the heart, not something anybody can copy, love the beat man, i keep rolling onto it, whether its a cover or not, without lyrics the beat is beautiful

The moment you know the composition is beautiful just after hearing the first 10 secs of the song

This will go down as a candyrat classic

By royal decree, I do declare this song most adequate, and that the people must rejoice.

très beau moment de musique, merci beaucoup

This is really pushing what is capable on an acoustic guitar, simply amazing

Nice harmonics ... I like how the music was reverberating off those ancient stones.

OMG!!! I'm just ecstatic about this masterpiece! I haven't felt such emotions in a long time. Thanks a lot, you made me very happy.

You are my favorite musician! Nobody’s music can compare to yours!

One of the the most mesmerizing videos I have ever seen

AMAZING!!!!!!GOOSEBUMPS THE WHOLE SONG!!! BRAVO BRAVO!

Um verdadeiro espetáculo, meu amigo. Parabéns!!!!

Wonderful guitarist…

Daniel, the King is you!

Que dom maravilhoso você tem, Padim... Deus abençoe...!

How have I never heard of this guy before?

Utterly stunning and gorgeous guitar playing. Wow...

Just started learning this piece (again) because every tab of his at first looks impossible and I give up for a few months, then come back again when my brain is getting used to that. Having fun with that, I don't care if it will take days, weeks or months to learn.

Hi, my name is Tommy King, and I saw this today and gave it a listen. By the fourth play through, I decided I want to play guitar like that. So evocative. Inspiring, bro.

This was the first guitar tab I've bought online in more than 10 years. Thanks Daniel for such an amazing piece!

Candyrat has blessed us with so many fine guitarists. Like Pokemon, gotta catch them all.

Dizzying, and not just the camera work. That was ephemeral, moving and inspirational. My baa baa black sheep doesn’t sound anything like that on the guitar.

Absolutely Astounding!! I love how the tempo increases as the song progresses

Damn this is truly wonderful. His playing skills and record/mix qualities are almost equal to Antoine dufour who in my opinion is the absolute benchmark of Acoustic Guitar. Really, really Nice. Keep up the good work!

Just listening to this song made me want to look up all your other songs, start practicing more, learn this song and learn to write fingerstyle songs. Just thought I'd let you know you are very inspiring.
Edit: e agora descubro que é brasileiro, muito foda

a slice of nirvana we are blessed with , thank you

This is, for sure, the best song of your new album. Congrats to Vitoria for the shooting!

Difficult compostiion but still remains its beauty.
Another great job

This man is a legend.

my favourite guitar song so far!

Awesome composition

Consegui sentir o Rei enquanto Ouvia! SUBLIME

Beautifully played...Ataahua..from New Zealand..Aotearoa

You are amazing! You just became one of my favourite artists! The location is breathtaking!

More then music it's therapeutic for the mind etc.

Beautiful, there are emotions and that s it

Epic melody and body drumming.

Daniel Padim is fucking awesome. Another brilliant artist brought to me by Candyrat.

Outstanding lyrical yet inspiring piece with an emotional depth & intensity. You utilize a beautifully colorful sonic palette embracing the full use of the guitar's capabilities. 🤗🤗🧨😇
