The delivery driver in brown has arrived! And usually it’s with gifts.

It’s no secret that we all enjoy getting packages in the mail. And to get them to us safely, the drivers seemingly operate under every condition and weather every storm. They go above and beyond and their commitment is admirable.

But when they’re on break what do they do in their off time? Play the piano of course!

Yes, that’s right—not only are some UPS workers amazing at getting us that snowy package, but they’re also excellent at playing the piano.

Such is exactly the case for the video we’re sharing with you today.

The video begins in King’s Cross railway station in London, where there is a public piano available to play.

There’s nothing like sticking a piano in the center of a busy transportation hub.

Thousands of people from all over are constantly traveling, and there’s nothing quite like sitting down to show a little love for music. Plenty of people sit down to test out their skills, but some really command the attention of those around them.

In this video we find a young woman sitting down to the piano, attempting to teach herself a classical waltz.

The UPS man approaches her side, instantly entranced by her efforts.

After about a minute, he asks if he can attempt it himself. He asks the young woman to correct him if he’s doing it wrong.

As the girl walks away to take a phone call, the UPS worker gradually builds things up, revealing to a few interested onlookers that he’s more than just a delivery driver.

Playing the waltz in its entirety, he jokes to the person recording the video, “I’ve got it!”

And no sooner does he burst out into a full-fledged boogie woogie get-down.

The grooving UPS driver cocks his head to the person recording and asks, “Are you feeling it?” as his hands effortlessly bounce up and down the piano.

He stomps his foot to keep the beat and proceeds to steal the show away!

The onlookers and passers-by enjoy his performance, clapping as he finishes his improvised tune.

The young girl comes back, amazed at his ability.

She admits that he had her fooled in the beginning. However, he explains to her that he’s no good at reading sheet music. His forte is improvisation.

He then asks her if she’s ever heard of Boogie Woogie.

Together, the two sit back down at the piano and he shares some concepts of the blues with her.

He sets her up with the bottom part, and then plays a mean solo on top of it. Their musical creation will instantly get you moving.

This heartwarming exchange has the internet buzzing. Since it was posted, the video has more than six million views and 49,000 likes.
