Original artist: The Cinematic Orchestra Coastal Sound Youth Choir - directed by Carrie Tennant, accompanied by George Chung Performed at indiekor 2012
Today I am the saddest person. There was a war in my country, my house was robbed, and I was expelled with weapons. Everything I owned was lost, and my life has become hell. I hope to see the light of optimism in my life.
Both soloists are so talented at such a young age. The first one had such a haunting voice and sang it light like the original singer. The second soloist voice was stronger but still did amazing. I love the arrangement with the choir. Amazing job!!
LYRICS There is a house built out of stone Wooden floors, walls and window sills Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust This is a place where I don't feel alone This is a place where I feel at home 'Cause, I built a home For you For me Until it disappeared From me From you And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust Out in the garden where we planted the seeds There is a tree as old as me Branches were sewn by the color of green Ground had arose and passed it's knees By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top I climbed the tree to see the world When the gusts came around to blow me down I held on as tightly as you held onto me I held on as tightly as you held onto me And, I built a home For you For me Until it disappeared From me From you And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
This song is one of my favorites of all time and When I suggested it to my teacher with this video he was immediately on board with the song idea to sing it. This song was so beautifully sang by this choir :))
Where did you find an arrangement of this song? I've been trying to find one for years. If you made it yourself could you share it with me? I'd love to use it for senior choir this year
Wow. That first lead soloist.... and all the harmonies. Danggg. This is the heaven version.
Legend has it that the parents in this crowd are still sitting there crying uncontrollably...🥺
Ok...this comment made me smile.
This is one of the most impressive performances ever
Absolutely. This music teacher is a force!

LYRICS
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
'Cause, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
And, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

Lovely version. The soloist would impress Patrick Watson I'm sure.
oh my god.
If this is the teacher/conductor’s own arrangement she is truly brilliant ✌🏻
And even if not, she is still brilliant for knowing and having the confidence in her students to perfectly pull this off. Bravo 👏
Anyone know the names of the two soloists?
Dear god…
Dermot Kennedy 🌍🌹, I'm definitely only here for us against the world 🌹🌍😘
