    I don't understand how this guy managed to turn an electric rock song into this! Both are awesome songs, but feel completely different.

      Nuclear Trinity He did the same thing with Hurt from Trent Reznor. Pretty brilliant man.

      Martin L Gore originally wrote it/envisaged it as a slow piano ballad. Alan Wilder with some help from the Violator Album producer Flood added a beat, disco synths and choir type arrangement to turn it into the electronic masterpiece it became.

    I don't usually comment on videos, but for this one I'll make an exception. This song reaches inside of me, twisting and turning my heart strings over and over again, making me feel in the most personal way possible. It fills in the cavernous void that's been corroding away inside my soul for the last few years, if even for a few brief moments. It forces me feel in places that have been numb for what seems like an eternity; it makes me feel in places I thought I might not have had feeling in ever again. For this, Mr. Whitacre, you have my thanks. Not only for this song, but for your music in general, which comprises some of the most beautiful and touching works I've ever heard. Thank you.
    As far as the video goes... I don't think anything else could have quite caught the subtle, eerie beauty encapsulated in this song as well as this video did. The video was remarkable and did nothing but match, and even almost amplify the strange, sobering feelings that the music brings up. You did an amazing job. Nice work. Thank you.

      If you want to fill the void all by yourself, sing tones while playing the guitar in a monochord way. I recommend tuning daddad. Then just let your voice tell you what´s inside you - no words, just your voice. Greetings from one man who knows what you´re talking about.

      Such a lovely, poignant comment Josiah and I pray these two years have been wonderful for you and that your life is filled with love and joy. I also felt such a void all through my twenties and thirties, until I answered the call to believe God at His word. I pray you too may be filled with the knowledge of the Truth and His very Spirit....He is the Creator of the universe and the Author of your life. The Lord God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and John. John 3:16 Be well my brother.

    just listen to the chord at 2:25..... dissonance in its purest form. no matter how many times i hear that stupefying, weird and absolutely magnifying chord, i still am amazed yet confused by it. amazing, but then again, what else would we expect from such a magnificent composer and conductor.

    • @TheSummoner
      @TheSummoner 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Emma Pope It isn’t actually a dissonant chord, it’s just a (consonant) non-diatonic chord, specifically a minor chord built over the third note of a minor scale.

    • @Piano_Reimagined
      @Piano_Reimagined 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s B flat minor, adding the minor 6th to it

    • @DontBlowIt
      @DontBlowIt 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Urizen there’s a G flat in there on top. It clashes with the F in the non-diatonic B flat minor chord. Whilst G flat is also non-diatonic with regards to G minor, major sevenths are traditionally considered dissonant. Also in B flat aeolian the minor sixth (G flat) is considered an avoid note, making it at least seemingly dissonant if we’re taking the chord out of context. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m basing my argument on two google searches! 🤣🤣🤣 I know almost zero theory.

    There is nothing more beautiful than the radiance of the cosmos. There is a certain beauty to it, from its darkest abyss to the brightest star, it makes a man humble and awe stricken. This song in a way captures its beauty and grandeur.

    Thanks so much for this post!! The Eric Whitacre Singers performed this as an encore in Boston a few years ago and I've been waiting for it to appear on You Tube. I hadn't known the Depeche Mode original (duh) and after the concert at the end of a long line of fans, Eric personally suggested I check them out. Now I am a super fan of both versions!! Love everything Whitacre AND Depeche Mode!!

    @Autostade67 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Ain't that shivery chord at 2:25 just the perfect set-up for the major-blaster at 4:12? Fantastic piece. I know I'm going to get flack for this - but I wish the singers clipped their 'Ts" a little more so it didn't sound like they were singing 'liddle". If you like this, check out Gyorgy Ligeti's "Lux Aeterna", written around 1960: ten minutes of micro-tonal shifting as chord after elusive chord slips in then immediately out of the ear's grasp. Not as lyrical as this to be sure, very Modernist to a fault - and to the novice listener a little bit creepy - but one of the greatest pieces of 2Oth century choral music written.

    Nothing less than sweet agony as I listen to this song for the most recent number of seemingly countless times. It embodies my experience of the choral world too perfectly. When at a time, all I ever wanted or needed was there in my own arms...but never to stay. And now I am reconciled to the silence. Unable however, to enjoy it as the words demand.
