Updated | By Damon Beard
Just in time for Valentine's Day! This man's smooth sounds on the piano will move you and warm your heart.
I’m in and out of King Shaka International Airport on a regular basis and for me, there is nothing worse than having to listen to an unruly kid thumping on that piano in the arrivals hall.

Anything is better than kids just making a racket on the beautiful instrument, but every now and again you get the honour of watching and listening to someone play this piano properly. This was the case for Paulo-Jorge Da Silva Martins, who took to his Facebook page to share a video that is quickly racking up the views.
When his flight was delayed, causing him to arrive at 2am, he was met in the arrivals hall with some beautiful sounds and melodies coming from the piano.

The security officer at the airport took to the piano to practice on the keys during the quiet of the night. Paulo could not believe what he was hearing, so he grabbed his phone and recorded the man's talent for the world to see. To date, the video has received over 148,000 views. Wow!
I attempted to hunt this guy down to congratulate him on being so talented, but haven't had any luck yet.
If I was a traveller who got a chance to hear this each time I entered the airport, I would travel in and out just to hear this Durbanite serenade me.
Many took to the comments section to express how blown away they were by the man.

After watching his video, are you able to figure out what song he's playing? Some say that it's S Club 7's 'Never Had A Dream Come True'. What do you think? Share your comments below:
