Maybe we should name the singers, as it was only half of the VOCES8 that participated, and it has been quite long since: Andrea Haines, 1st soprano Emily Dickens, 2nd soprano Sam Dressel, tenor (and lead) Dingle Yandell, bass
This may be the very best production life can provide ever. It's all about the music and message. The fine performers have set the music out front and taken a back seat. Bless you.
SAM DRESSEL Tenor Sam was a choral scholar with the choir of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and studied French and Spanish at the university. After graduating in 2011, he spent a year working in London as a freelance singer and linguistic coach before starting with VOCES8.
This has got to be absolute perfection in a 4 group arrangement. Rock on Voces 8. Looking forwar to the time when you put Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on you 3026 tour map. PLEASE.
Very, very nicely sung. We have the same arrangement and are learning it now but we are going to end with the intro, like the Flying Pickets a capella version.
3:07 This is infact me you're hearing! -have been working as a professional cougher with many famous groups, such as Voces8. We did this in just one take, the hard part is to get the cough going during the quiet passages, or just rests in general, where the coughs is most audible. Ofcourse a lot of experimentation were carried out in the concert hall, finding the specific area where the coughing would project best in the given acoustics. I always aim for those most tender parts of the song, the highlight moments, where the coughs are most unexpected, as heard on this recording, it's all about the emotion of the song.
The cougher's have always boiled my blood...but at the same time I understood it wasn't as deliberate and I try to be good with everyone.... but still no one like's a cougher!!!
Does anyone know who wrote the arrangement? The execution leaves nothing to be desired, it is perfect, but this arrangement is a real masterpiece for me and I have to bring it to the people.
I had this sang @my husbands funeral! We were 60 yrs married, he was 78, died of cancer I am 75! God, I miss him terribly! I love you, Babe!!!
God bless xx
God bless xx

My goodness, such a beautiful rendition.
I heard them doing this live. It blew me away.
This is beautiful, a great tribute to one of my favorite songs!
Beautiful arrangement well done all of you

I had an import album of The Flying Pickets in 1985(ish). One of my all time favorite songs.
Beautiful voices! Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song!... Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful - a real joy to listen to❤
Just gorgeous. Strikes at the heart. Touches the soul
Simple, straight and calm. I had a good time. Thank you.
Astoundingly beautiful so glad it was caught on tape ❤ wonderful performance
Hearty thanks to Voces8 for sustaining so many of us during this COVID episode. Your beautiful voices provide a marvelous and welcome distraction
So few of my favourite singers are still part of voces8 :( I really miss Emily's gorgeous.voice
What a beautiful performance... it would be a shame if someone of the audience had a bad throat day
Beautiful, I love the Flying Pickets and also Yazoo singing this, a very different style performed here but equally as captivating.
Beautiful....well done.
This is the most rock and roll thing I've ever seen.
Ok, I have to admit that's a pretty cool comment
When you finde out, that the guy who looks like he is going to is repair the copy machine in the office, is a rockstar :D.
I got goosebumps when the girl on the left started singing on her own.
Beautiful...a real beauty with a great voice.

Magnifique, serein, très beau moment d' écoute.
beautifull.... BEAUTIFULL
Un cuarteto maravilloso!!!!

Beautiful ❤
I particularly like the alto harmony line. I think it's the brunette lady. Wow!
It was the blonde lady, Emily, not Andrea :)
Absolutely gorgeous!
Very good rendition -well balanced.
I didn't think anyone even remembered Yaz (Yazoo in Europe). very nice!
FFS. If you've got a cough, stay at home! I really hope they do a studio recording of this one day - sublime singing.
chris alan i agree with you.
no way, it's just a sound enegeeer matter, why is he using a global mic insteed of 4 SM58 ?
Probably nervous glitches. Sometimes some folks just do it, comes on spontaneously.
So beautifull....!
I'd listen forever.
very beautiful~! love you.
So beautiful!
Beautiful structure and harmony.
IMPRESIONANTE

Beautiful...Alison Moyet owns this song but this is certainly a close second....Sorry, I changed my mind this is the number one version.
Very, very nicely sung.
We have the same arrangement and are learning it now but we are going to end with the intro, like the Flying Pickets a capella version.
Out standing!!!!!!
