It's always an absolute pleasure, making sure more and more people get to see the kind of wonderful work you do for the barbershop community and the music community as a whole on TH-cam! I just want to make sure I do whatever I can with my platform to get more people singing all this wonderful music :)
Fun Fact: Tim recorded this entire song in one take (per part, obviously). It was so good that it even made his second album Higher, which celebrates its 10 year anniversary this year!
It sounds that way because the second-to-last chord is a substitute chord of the dominant of Ab...to put it simply, it's a resolution that we're used to hearing so we feel it resolve to Ab regardless of the surrounding context. The Ab chord is NOT the tonic of the key and certainly won't analyzed as such, but because the resolution is so familiar to us, it legitimizes itself.
Making hose awkward intervals sound in a certain way is all about the context, and there for me at least lays the beauty and difficulty of composing music. Same with chords.
I have to say that 1:25 to 1:40 is one of the actual most nostalgic parts about this performance. Something about the repeatedly rhythm mixed with the notes just makes it feel like the past.
@@lagesol4843 Why is it people who can't accept that some people are talented just assume that everyone cheats? There's no autotune, melodyne or anything here.
I don’t know why or what it is, but this song feels like warmth. Like everythings gonna be okay, and that no matter who you are or where you’re at, you’ll always be loved and appreciated because you, too, are human.
@@Canestri_i took me a minute to figure out the chord itself, but it’s an Ab13 chord. Not a dominant 7th. It has an F natural instead of an Eb therefore making it a 13 instead of a dominant 7th.
Usually, my dog doesn't like it when I watch videos on my phone while I pet him. But THIS ONE.... This one, he stayed and let me pet him.. i saw his eyes getting droopy.. and he did that thing where his front paws slide forward and he stands them back up like he's trying to fight the sleep... He then laid down beside my chair and started slowly fluttering his eyes closed as i pet him gently. He fell asleep on the 2nd replay of this song. I think I'll save this song just for him to sleep to ❤
I am playing this as my first dance song at my future wedding. it broke me into tears, this is such a magnificent display of true love through music and i want to feel nothing but the way this song made me feel. So swayed through perfection and beauty. truly inspiring and so well put together.
0:59 the way he said "arms" sounds so harmonically perfect; it hits the harmonic series so well - i wonder how he pulls it off - does he sing notes in each voice aligning to the intervals according to the next note?
Great performance and transcription! Tim is a brilliant performer. On my channel I have a version of this song in 13-tone equal temperament instead of 12 (it’s not as good as Tim’s obvi but if you like cool chords I think you’ll at least appreciate the color)
hello, Could you translate Vocal Spectrum's 'Scarborough Fair' to a note.... there are definitely more than 4 voices, sometimes it seems to me that it comes to 6, but I can't hear them. I will be very grateful. could you make this work and put it on the channel?
@@konstantinprozorov135 I definitely did not double check before writing this but I’m pretty sure they sang that with gas house gang on the first VS album. 8 parts 👍
A year ago this was posted. It came up on my recommendations today. As a chorus student this makes me so happy to hear as I love different parts of the singing scale being put to together. Now if you don't mind me I will play this again and cry.
Why the hell does this sound familiar yet so foreign, it sounds so ominous yet so open and free that you know exactly what it is yet it is a enigma. There is no question… this is nostalgia 👏👏👏
I've been so busy lately that I haven't sat down and listened to choral music for a while. But this incredible video stopped me in my tracks. Thank you for reminding me about the importance of music.
have I,perchance,entered heaven? As I am certain only a divine being could create something so utterly beautiful yet so simple in nature. I now feel like a blessed man
God this is beautiful. I grew up singing in a choir until the end of high school and seeing this with the sheet music I just couldn't help myself but spend an hour practicing all the parts like old times.
it definitely is, my bad lol, I was writing the lyrics separately from the video because I was in a place where I couldn't listen, but I suppose I somehow didn't catch that when proofreading, apologies, but I'm glad you like it!
It’s interesting because the lyrics in the original song and this arrangement are thought, but I think Tim changed it. Not a bad thing just interesting!
@@danielrambler2845 actually, in the Fred King arrangement (which is what Tim is singing), in measure 15 he gives you the option to sing either "thought" or "fire", and in measure 35 he gives the option to sing either "arms" or "love".
Tim, I had to listen to this three (3) times today (9/18/22) to finally figure out what you (Lead) was doing. Your performance was exemplary - I'm sure Freddie is smiling through tears of joy. What I noticed was from 1:05 through 2:00 - you sang to the wall. There was something you were thinking about, and it was deep. That through caused you to go behind the wall, and there were a couple of times that you held back an emotion that most mere mortals aren't able to - the thought of a single person standing right in front of you looking into your eyes, that you love deeply. I'm learning how to use the wall, and I hope to become half as talented/effective as you are in that segment. I've never felt as happy about crying as I did at the end of that segment. Though the word I'm choosing is hyphenated, it's as best as I can do : soul-stirring.
I had some visions when I heard this i am Also a muisic artist and I just love the Beats and all’ of the song I just can not get over it this is fun continue doing what your doing and may the miusic ne withen you❤ sending a big hug
Excuse my ignorance, but he does this without any pitch correction afterwards? I can´t really tell and I know barbershops get to this level of tuning in live performances and stuff, but its just amazing that him can do it all alone and so flawless.
I would pitch a guess at no pitch correction, just based on Tom as a singer. In other recordings he's done, you can hear enough overtones to rule out pitch correction. So probably not.
I know your comment is a year old but the original singer commented because others assumed there was pitch correction and he said he used software or something to sync up the separate takes better but there was no form of pitch correction used
At the age of 7, I began my love of Barbershop that for many years played an absolutely huge role in my life. I was blessed with a mom that introduced me to Barbershop when she began singing with Harmony First Chorus in Springfield, IL. I went every week to practice and learned every note and every move of choreography. I was fortunate that, after many years of sitting on the sidelines, they voted to allow me in even though I was only 12 at the time. The most magical times in my life were spent practicing, performing, and competing. I went to a Men's International in the early 80's, which was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life! Thank you for sharing on this channel. It brings me so much joy to watch the videos. My mom has been gone for a couple of years now, and I feel close to her when I listen. God bless!
I love how the melody shifts between the Lead and the Tenor part, it happens so smoothly that if you are not looking for it you can easily miss it, but at the same time in certain parts it's screaming at you that this is the melody. Seriously love this piece and I would love to perform it!
Wow! Remindsme of all state when i was a junior and senior except you are so damn clean that we dont need noone else.. the harmonys brought tears to my eyes
Well this is truly beautiful. A delight, and the emotion gets me every time I listen to this. A truly fine example of four part harmony. Thank you Tim.
When I sing this song I always forget the lyrics and the first thing that comes to mind is "When the moon... hits your eye... like a big pizza pie" and i can't unhear it
Jason, thanks for the transcription and tribute to my video and TH-cam channel!! I’m so glad people are enjoying them!

Really. Sounds like the bass from...

@@RedstoneActive922 Ebb Tide
Sounds auto tuned and layered with effects....
I like how he moved for each recording so the background is one continuous landscape
Nevemind maybe it was a coincidence for the middle 2
I hadn’t noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
While the background is not exactly perfect,
it certainly adds another interesting visual element.
No, they're just different people come on!
I’m 1 year late but you’re partially right still, look at the water
@@liamrileyborresyeah
This isn't nostalgia, it's love.
True love
💝
A nostalgic love? :D
It give me the feels
to me both have a similar feeling
The way the melody voice hits the “tide” at 2:05, I could listen to this forever
yea, it kinda reminds me of the beginning of "misty"
Something I’ve always wanted to do (for the past 60 years!) but I’d never come close to this masterpiece!
It’s two major third intervals :)
Its like the first notes from a song called "misty" which is a legendary jazz tune ❤
that ending is mind-boggling. it goes from Db to ending in Ab but feels fully resolved. so clever and beautifully sung by Tim :)
It sounds that way because the second-to-last chord is a substitute chord of the dominant of Ab...to put it simply, it's a resolution that we're used to hearing so we feel it resolve to Ab regardless of the surrounding context. The Ab chord is NOT the tonic of the key and certainly won't analyzed as such, but because the resolution is so familiar to us, it legitimizes itself.
I was thinking the SAME EXACT THING!
Making hose awkward intervals sound in a certain way is all about the context, and there for me at least lays the beauty and difficulty of composing music. Same with chords.
Circle of fifths baby
It's just walking down from the 1 chord to the 5 chord
I have to say that 1:25 to 1:40 is one of the actual most nostalgic parts about this performance. Something about the repeatedly rhythm mixed with the notes just makes it feel like the past.
Agreed. This dude’s voice is incredible I want a voice like that 😭💗
the beginning tho...
the ascending line cliché makes my brain go: 🔥💔⁉️🔥🦑💥💥🔥🦑🔥💔💔🔥🔥🐟💥🔥⁉️🔥
It is partly because of the Augmented chord in the 2nd bar. Augmented chords are awesome!
The notes are definitely in other songs
the tension resolving with the 7ths is majestic, great job
Sounds like “pure imagination” and “how deep is your love “ had a baby this dudes voice is amazing
4 months ago this same person posted a (performance???? of pure imagination
Imagine being able to sing so very on pitch without ears. 😳😉
He's definitely got ears. One on each side.
@@DerekHartley 😳😎
Imagine being able to just sing so very on pitch. This guy sings so well
hes an incredible singer but i believe this has melodyne on it
@@lagesol4843 Why is it people who can't accept that some people are talented just assume that everyone cheats? There's no autotune, melodyne or anything here.
That augmented chord at 1:25 has so much power and feeling behind it, this arrangement is amazing!

Listening to this on repeat and ascending to a higher state of being
I don't see enough people talk about the chord on brace at 1:20 . That is a BEAUTIFUL chord.

2:20 does all the work without the drama. I like it more
That ‘tide’ at 00:04 is immaculate
That's what I was about to say! It's in root position, straight 1-3-5-7, but it's so damn beautiful.
0:17 that major 7th is Just. So. Magical.
Imo there is nothing like the majesty of a 13th chord 😍
is that really a maj7 chord? thought is was just a regular dominant 7th
@@Canestri_i took me a minute to figure out the chord itself, but it’s an Ab13 chord. Not a dominant 7th. It has an F natural instead of an Eb therefore making it a 13 instead of a dominant 7th.

This sounds like an old Disney film song, this sounds great
1:20 that chord has such nice overtones
I’m so glad someone else has noticed this
0:13 reminds me of Pure Imagination, amazing song!
The chord on "embrace" at 1:15 was SO spicy
Its like melancholic but also hopeful and loving and like kind of breathtaking at the same time

This might be the best video. Period.
Your voice is incredible man
