With microphones, sound mixing does most of this, not the individual singers. They all have ear plugs in so they have no idea how loud each other is. Her part is an accompanying harmonic part except when she sings lead, so of course it blends.
The power and beauty of Freya's voice 2:14 onwards as she takes the lead to show hope for the future and next generation. Voice on an angel! Slow building up before. But she lets Bastille take his parts, lead and projection. Then releases lead back. Such voice control. She could have swamped Bastille. Beautiful duet.
Dan having the time of his life. Imagine going from writing songs in your bedroom that weren’t intended for others, to having Hans Zimmer orchestrate one of your masterpieces and accompanied by Freya, who was the perfect accompanying vocalist.
Everything about this is amazing. I would never have thought of putting their voices together but they compliment each other perfectly. They're clearly both very talented but Freya's voice is just hauntingly beautiful.
This rendition is a perfect example of the beauty of music, emotion, passion, joy, and love in a song! Everyone singing in this video is smiling and enjoying every minute of it. Love it!
I‘ll never forget that day a friend asked me to go to a very very small concert in Munich years ago. Freya is amazing! This will me my favorite concert for all time. There were less than 50 people. So thankful for that! You are as beautiful as your voice! Keep that in mind.
I was stunned. I never heard of Dan Smith and Freya until now. This man amazed even my husband who is not into music. His voice alone is outstanding. Such a wonderful arrangement. So proud of the singapore choir who had the chance to be part of a meaningful event. ❤
What a monstruous couple is that, vocally speaking!?!?!? It sounds like if it were only him singing, that'd be perfect. If it were only her, perfection as well. But having them both together ... it was the birth of the genesis of perfection. OMG!!! Unspeakable. 😮😮😮
Such a wonderful arrangement of an iconic song, Freyas voice with Dan's was mesmerising, harmonies beautiful, while music such as this is being produced we can all be optimists about this
U know, the most beautiful part about this performance is everyone is singing from the bottom of their hearts! it's written all over their faces! Not forgetting the musicians in the background as well! 💖 so surreal and beautiful💖
This just popped into my YT feed. I had no idea who Freya Ridings was before watching this - wow, that voice is amazing (and Dan, too)! That note @2:47 is jaw dropping! She could have taken over and owned the song entirely (think: Ariana Grande & The Weeknd "Save your Tears" iHeart live). Freya + Bastille/Orchestra = absolutely fantastic performance!
If music had a love child ❤️ love #freyaridings and to put her with my absolute favourite band #bastille and for #earthshot and #planetearth this should go down in history!!!!
This gives me goosebumps from beginning to end. Just when it can’t seem to get any better it does. I really can’t find a word good enough to describe how I feel listening to this. Stunning.
I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settles around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all?
Three of my faves 🥹 “Pompeii” has become such an evolving song: their mashup with “Waiting All Night” at the 2014 Brits and now this orchestral version… 🥲
Freya is extremely controlled and compliments Dan brilliantly.
Her vocal control to not overpower Dan is brilliant. Truly skilled.
I think I fell in love tho
She so goddamn beautiful,and those eyes,DAMN
haahhaha
@@shivverx
yeah that harmony she sings is brilliant
freya did so well to not overwhelm bastille’s voice considering how strong her voice is

I didn't think this song could get any better...Then Freya Ridings rocks up! She is so underrated.
It’s the fifth time I watch these performance on repeat and the goosebumps won’t stop. Absolutely outstanding ✨
I can relate 😍
Me to 😍
Me too! Can't get over with this
Me too, same boat here :)
Have you seen them perform with Hans Zimmer ? Serious goosebumps moments ❤
freya, orchestra, choir… forget it, man. i’d be a puddle of tears if i saw this live.
Really liked this rendition of the song, great work to Bastile, Freya, Hans and the choir and orchestra
The choir just look so damn happy to be a part of this! Goosebumps all over
That's it, music has peaked. Everyone else might as well just give up. Stunning.
Freya understood the assignment
😂#Fact!
She did.
She always does. ❤
Everything about this is amazing. I would never have thought of putting their voices together but they compliment each other perfectly. They're clearly both very talented but Freya's voice is just hauntingly beautiful.
Imagine the honor of being one of the musicians involved in the creation of this masterpiece...
I would love a Freya solo rendition of this song.
honestly love watching the joy on Dan's face as some of the big moments hit
Must have been an amazing experience for the audience to witness this stunning performance right in front of their eyes. Jaw dropping.
My god this is perfection, well done to everyone involved 🌍
This rendition is a perfect example of the beauty of music, emotion, passion, joy, and love in a song! Everyone singing in this video is smiling and enjoying every minute of it. Love it!
2:27-2:30 when Freya hits that note…goosebumps
I‘ll never forget that day a friend asked me to go to a very very small concert in Munich years ago. Freya is amazing! This will me my favorite concert for all time. There were less than 50 people. So thankful for that!
You are as beautiful as your voice! Keep that in mind.
Freya Ridings is everything
This is a fantastic version! Freya compliments Dan's voice but lets him lead; really beautiful stuff from them both!
This is the reason why music was invented. To inspire the soul and capture human creativity. ❤
Really didn't expect them to be here in Singapore for the event!!! This song version is just a whole new level
I was stunned. I never heard of Dan Smith and Freya until now. This man amazed even my husband who is not into music. His voice alone is outstanding. Such a wonderful arrangement. So proud of the singapore choir who had the chance to be part of a meaningful event. ❤
The world needs more Freya Ridings collaborations. This is EXQUISITE!
What a monstruous couple is that, vocally speaking!?!?!? It sounds like if it were only him singing, that'd be perfect. If it were only her, perfection as well. But having them both together ... it was the birth of the genesis of perfection. OMG!!! Unspeakable. 😮😮😮
Such a wonderful arrangement of an iconic song, Freyas voice with Dan's was mesmerising, harmonies beautiful, while music such as this is being produced we can all be optimists about this
No words absolutely no words can describe this rendition
Those harmonies slaped
Yes, the music ist good. But seeing Dan being so happy about it and enjoying it - that's so wholsesome 🤗
I've been coming back to this everyday since its release. and today, I'm moved to tears.... *amazing* performance.
In love with this version ❤
No way no freaking way this was too damn hard to handle man! Such a masterpiece ❤😊
the voice control of Freya is amazing.
Guys you all need to listen to Freya ridings musics her songs are incredible and she is just unbelievable
U know, the most beautiful part about this performance is everyone is singing from the bottom of their hearts! it's written all over their faces! Not forgetting the musicians in the background as well! 💖 so surreal and beautiful💖
Dan's inflections and pronunciations are just so top-tier
beautiful to see the old songs revived
Unison and harmony was spectacular!
This song just keeps getting better and better with age. Love this arrangement.

You are going to hear this song for years to come in films and tv shows. An absolute masterpiece ❤️
They need to do more collabs like this with known songs ans everything else that comes along with this performance
Freya looks beautiful along with her voice.
Omg two of my favourite artists together and it's epic, legends!
You have both kept me alive with your music thank you x
Those swells from the strings get me every time… Zimmer Forever!
This is not Hans Zimmers music. It is Bastille original.
Absolutely Incredible! Beautiful Harmony! Well done!

Outstanding version of a brilliant song. Great job Freya
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

“Pompeii” has become such an evolving song: their mashup with “Waiting All Night” at the 2014 Brits and now this orchestral version… 🥲
