Maybe the best song ever written for a musical, originally sang by a very reluctant but beautifully effective Gene Wilder, now perfected in perpetuity by this amazing ensemble. So beautifully & magically done.
People should appreciate how good this arrangement is, obviously the performance is phenomenal, but before that, is the arrangement for a 17part harmony no less, the inclusion of the rhythm towards the end is just a touch of class. Absolute kudos to the individuals responsible for this fabulous arrangement.
@@JessieMcConkey-v8d whats your point, apart from the fact that I miscounted....do you think that this is simple arrangement ???....and when your not singing its called rests, and I'm sure the charts reflect that....don't appreciate the smart-arse sarcasm.....and whether they're singing the same part or not, charts still have to be created, but off course any accomplished musician would know that McDonkey!!!!
This was actually very likely sung by one guy and one girl, multiple times, and then with 50 hrs of adjustments we're made on a computer, until all notes were pitch perfect, all volumes meshed the way they were supposed to, and the length of notes was also adjusted. So essentially, 95% fake. But well arranged, and we'll acted. And then I bet this group can sing really well too, but they sound nothing like this.
I've listened to this probably a hundred times over the years and realized I never commented. You're all soooo talented and your arranger is going places!
Autotuned sure, but pure entertainment, and beautiful singers all of them so talented. The harmony washed over me like a sticky wave. Now I'll go take a shower.
They never said they will not use auto tune, they re arranged the song, they didn't say they were just going to do an actual 100% Capella version of it
@@ChrisM-qo1jcit’s mixed and eq pretty good and they raised the basses to lay dat foundation people prolly think it’s auto tuned cuz they prolly singing in Just intonation and recorded this in the studio
Come with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination, take a look, and you’ll see into your OWN imagination, What we see, will defy explanation, if you wanna view paradise, just simply look around and view it, There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination, living there, you will be free, if you BELIEVE
“Pure Imagination” has always been one of my favorite songs. I read a lot of criticism in the comments about auto-tuning. I have to say, nobody blames a surgeon for using a tool! Even if it’s true, It sounds beautiful and represents the message, so why not enjoy it!
This literally made my cry! The layers and harmony are the most perfect thing I've ever heard. I could never explain the way this song makes me feel. Thank you! Thank you!
OK I surrender. As a singer for over 75 years of experience, I thought that Voctave had achieved the summit of acapella harmony, then I heard this group.
A modern arrangement that’s understands the heart of the original. The pitch correction studio work is a little off putting, however the vocalists and their harmonies are velvety rich - I could listen to them all day. Beautiful!
I'm awestruck, weeping, and smiling at your perfection. Bravo for the arrangement and vocal crafting of one of the best covers of any song, ever. Period. Be proud of accomplishing a rarity... being the best at something. Pure imagination by SoCal VoCals and Ben/Tehillah's arrangement is PURE BLISS.
Since I started posting this video back in March/April it has gotten almost if not around 40,000 more views. I am brought to tears. "If you wanna change the world, there's nothing to it." You guys are incredibly awesome.
Fantastic. I listened to this over twenty times in one day. It is beautiful (props to Ben Bram) and inspiritional. wow. As a lifelong music teacher, I love to see the new generation find passion in the Arts. Brava and bravo. Mahalo for your efforts.
Queridos jóvenes, los llevaré por siempre en mi corazón, Esta interpretación es una obra maestra que siempre me conmueve y me pone emocional. Dios los bendiga.

The most beautiful Levi commercial ever ;)

So true 😂😂😂

XDD
You mean aot?

0:39 the way the "with a spin" swings itches the brain SO GOOD
Frr
If you’re reading this congrats , you’ve found the best version ever recorded.
Never seen so many jealous haters and followers in the comments. This was absolutely beautiful and I challenge any of you to do better and post it.
My goodness - hats off to the performance (of course) but SUPER HATS OFF to Ben Bram and Tehillah Alphonso for that amazing arrangement! ❤❤❤❤❤!
Beautiful. Who cares about autotune. this is entertaining. props to Ben Bram. I wish I could give this a million likes.

lol 17 part harmony. there’s only 16 people and its at the most 8 in some sections

It's magnificent harmony.
@@rickjordon*McDonkey. Lol
LIKE IN A HEAVEN.
Is it posible to have auto tune in accapella?🤔😅
its standard to use Melodyne with just about any pro album tune.
Ok…..um…….and?
And?

@@StevoSwiss Um... no Stevo. That isn't at all the case.
This made me cry because of how beautiful the harmonies are
I cried because of the memories of my childhood .
One of my favorite songs done beautifully.❤
I've listened to this probably a hundred times over the years and realized I never commented. You're all soooo talented and your arranger is going places!
ben bram! he actually helped start pentatonix, has won grammy/emmys, and has worked on pitch perfect and glee
Nobody has topped this performance to date. Most AMAZING version I've ever heard. The harmonies are over the top!
Apart from Gene Wilder.
Individualaliy coming together with a harmony that brings tears to your eyes.
Autotuned sure, but pure entertainment, and beautiful singers all of them so talented. The harmony washed over me like a sticky wave. Now I'll go take a shower.
It’s not auto tune, it’s melodyne. Pitch correction and auto tune are two very different things.
@@natsaij.g1942same shit
@@natsaij.g1942 VERY DIFFERENT.
the harmony and blending, mind-bending
I absolutely love this tune. Beautiful arrangement.

it isnt autotuned

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination, living there, you will be free, if you BELIEVE
My jazz choir sang this a few years ago and it’s one of my favorite memories ❤
I’m about to do it with mine! I’m super excited
Love how that built up ✔️
Good lord, this is lovely.
I want to see watch this without the auto tune. Honestly I don't care if it sounds bad, "raw" voices are way more soothing
that touched the deepest part of my imagination
Y’all got the same room half•alive used for still feel thats dope
Aka the Bat-cave garage
And I still feeeeel alive
The Holy Spirit in this one
I love the part when they say "in the pure of imagination"
“Pure Imagination” has always been one of my favorite songs. I read a lot of criticism in the comments about auto-tuning.
I have to say, nobody blames a surgeon for using a tool! Even if it’s true, It sounds beautiful and represents the message, so why not enjoy it!
Perfect. This is how I imagined it in my head.
Touting the “work to be done” while presenting as the group of people who had spent
This is magical all people in all walks of life singing together as one...this is what we need in this crazy world we live in today. 🙌🙌🙌💯
Playing this on a date for sure
I love this song so much and you young people performed it beautifully! Bravo!!!
👍👏👏👏👏
You deserve more than just a couple hundred likes.
My girls from Citizen Queen and my fave guy from The Voice Jej are in it!!! YAAASSS!!!
this miming over the Swedish group. The Real Band. There are only 5 singers in that group. No auto tune. They've been together 20 years of more.
So well done! Beautiful harmonies and an absolutely spectacular crescendo at 2:15 point in song. Strong female lead at that point. Gave me chills.....
Goosebumps 😲😲😲
Omg the girls from citizen queen are here
this arrangement is so beautiful and always takes me into a void of nostalgia. i love it
every time I listen to this I smile I just love it
This literally made my cry! The layers and harmony are the most perfect thing I've ever heard. I could never explain the way this song makes me feel. Thank you! Thank you!
I normally have some long winded comment..but I think one word will say it all...WOW!!!
Yall sound TOOOOOOO DREAMY GOOD and that collective stop omg gave chillz😍😍😍😍and the freakin HARMONIES AT THE END🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Autotuned, but Beautiful none the less. Definitely viewing paradise with this production. Fantastic !!
its not autotuned lol
@@ChrisM-qo1jc you can taste the autotune I dunno what you're on 💀💀
@@ChrisM-qo1jc not saying they aren't talented but this is dripping with auto tune
@@UThinkISay How do you tell?
If you know what it sounds like it's easy to spot. You can hear the pitch changing digitally
I play this as a lullaby for my son, its calming to him and me
OK I surrender. As a singer for over 75 years of experience, I thought that Voctave had achieved the summit of acapella harmony, then I heard this group.
I just found this today. This is the most beautiful rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. Pitch perfect! Flawless!
A modern arrangement that’s understands the heart of the original. The pitch correction studio work is a little off putting, however the vocalists and their harmonies are velvety rich - I could listen to them all day. Beautiful!
...and they had the WHOLE THING memorized!
when that beat came everything changes WOW!
Absolutely beautiful! Bravo! This song has been underrated. Who would have known that it came from a song in a children’s movie some 50+ years ago?
this gave me chills! this is absolutely amazing good job!
One of my favorite versions of this song.
props to the sound guy working the mix!
moved me to tears. and i would love to hear this totally acapella
Thank you for such a wonderful interpretation of this beautiful song. It’s been my favourite song since hearing Gene Wilder sing it.

Competent but no surprises. All these voices to for an arrangement that kind of feels ... standard.
Nice!! The Lydian mode section almost made me pass out! Beautiful! ❤
I think my pop group is going to be learning this song soon! Wish us luck!!
Good job SoCal!
Mr Wilder would've honestly loved to see this 😭
So good!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙
That was Beautiful…by Beautiful People!
this song took me out of my anxiety thank you guys
Just beautiful harmony!! TU!
My high schools chamber choir is singing this next month and I’m so excited it’s such a beautiful Piece
Makes me wish I was choir instead of band!

You guys did a great job!!! Love
I'm not crying *sniff*cuz of how beautiful this is *sniff sniff*you are.*sniff*😢
You humans sicken me
Yeeesh they’re all dressed so well!
Great take on a timeless classic. A most enjoyable performance.
Yes, you guys made this piece so nuanced!
Glad I stumbled onto this. Best version so far thanks.
Ps forget about choreography as it’s your only flaw. We’re here purely for the great voices.
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Travelling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
Brilliant! Love the song, love your voices ❤
Beautiful just Beautiful and Amazing
Just beautiful. Needs more views.
