Select an instance for watching the video:
 
redirect.invidious.io (audio)
 
Program for downloading:
 
yt-dlp (documentation)
 
If you use Window$, you can download yt-dlp.exe and type this in the MS-DOS prompt:

yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/embed/vEsak3scvrQ

Watch at youtube (not recommended):
 
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/vEsak3scvrQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEsak3scvrQ

Youtube.com requires nonfree software (Javascript code) for normal use of the site; after changes Google made in August 2017, nothing is visible in a typical Youtube page without running its nonfree Javascript code.
[...]
However, it is ok to refer to the same videos on an offshoot of invidio.us; just make sure not to choose one that is "protected" by Cloudflare, since that sends its own nonfree software. This way of referring is probably fail-safe: it may cease to work, but it will probably not start leading people to run nonfree software. You don't need a special "platform" to post an audio or video on the Web. You can post an audio or video file on any web site. Just put up the WebM file and link to it as if it were an ordinary page. All graphical browsers can handle that.

I suggest that you don't watch the video with the browser, but download it with yt-dlp instead and play it from your hard drive, with a specialised program, particularly if you want to watch it more than once, because:

• Hard drives have direct memory access, but your internet connection doesn't. This means that when you watch a video from the internet in your browser, the CPU has to handle the data transfer, as well as encryption and decryption, leading to lower performance and increased electricity consumption, especially since all sites with videos on them use HTTPS.
• Whenever you watch a video online, the server on which it's stored, as well as all the other servers and routers involved in transferring the file to you need extra energy to perform this task.
• If you have a metered internet connection, you will obviously save a lot of bandwidth if you watch the video from the hard drive.
• Browsers are not optimised for playing videos, so you will get much better performance and energy efficiency if you use a specialised program.

So if you are concerned with global heating, pollution and exhaustion of Earth's resources, you should download all the videos you want to watch.

Иван Star «Молитва» кавер SMASH

Долгой музыкой дождя
день над нами проплывает.
И возвратить его нельзя,
он смолкнет и растает
долгой музыкой дождя.

Свой привычный круг друзей
с теплой грустью вспоминаю.
В водовороте шумных дней
все больше я теряю
свой привычный круг друзей.

[Припев:]
О Боже, дай мне сил,
что задумано успеть,
ни о чем не сожалеть.
О Боже, дай мне сил
и терпенье одолжи
против зависти и лжи.

---

With the long music of the rain
the day is passing over us.
And its return is impossible,
it will fall silent and melt away
with the long music of rain.

My usual circle of friends
I remember with warm sadness.
In the whirlpool of noisy days
more and more I am losing
my usual circle of friends.

[Chorus:]
Oh God, give me the strength
to accomplish what I plan to do
and not regret anything.
Oh God, give me strength
and lend me patience
against envy and lies.
