TEXT by Don Macdonald
Come listen in the silence of the moment before rain comes down.
There’s a deep sigh in the quiet of the forest and the tall tree’s crown.
Now hold me.
Will you take the time to hold me and embrace the chill?
Or miss me,
will you take the time to miss me when the earth stands still?
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
Come listen in the silence of the moment before shadows fall.
Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat as we both dissolve.
Now hold me….
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
So stay with me, held in my arms
Like branches of a tree
They’ll shelter you for many years. - บันเทิง
Wow. A real contralto. Stunning. As an older chorale singer, I really appreciate that there are so many young voices entering the choir world. There really isn't anything more beautiful than a blend of of human voices, singing in harmony and breathing at the same time.
"Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat as we both dissolve."
She can also sing as a soprano
I am a Contralto. We are not heard enough
That low register is FEEDING OMG
Deborah is incredible isn't she?
Their alto 2/3 is lovely! She has wonderful warmth and fullness
Six women living their dreams. So very beautiful.
VOCES8 on ice! Lyrical & Exceptional. With all those key elements that Barnaby has developed so superbly - no vibrato; space; listening to each other; never straining; clear diction and enunciation; and always perfect balance . . . simply, just musicality. Bravo, and all my wishes to you all, Lyyra! Michael xx
Oh My... I just can't even bring together the words I want to convey listening to this for the first time.
I have waited so long to hear this kind of ensemble.. this kind of resonance.. this level of spiritual vocal depth.
It's like layers of ancestors.. related or spiritual.. Mothers, Grandmothers, Great Aunties, Great Great Grandmothers, Sisters.. it's like they all shift through the ages and meet in one place.. coming together to eat and share and love one another.. then they start to sing.. from the silent walls... they begin.. and they raise the vibration of the whole world around them.. and heal the ancestral wounds of time.
Lyyra.. welcome!!!!! 🤗🙏🌺💚🌟👋🙌🌈🌷
this is a great comment; thank you for sharing this way of seeing this, it has really resonated
@@nat51168You are very welcome.. 🙏
Beautiful... ethereal.. wonderful... more.. encore!
Timelessly universal and ethereal, but also urgently personal and confessional lyrics sung by angelic voices.
Another beautiful ensemble...can't wait for more.
My goodness! Everything Voces8 touches turns to pure gold. This is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait for the next one!
True, and also it was a ton of work to set up
Beyond words…..Beyond beauty…..Simply suspended somewhere in some unencumbered world!!
Truly beautiful blend.. ethereal and pinpoint accuracy. Wishing you all the best for all that is to come
Beautiful!! I love how you are developing these artists and championing choral music. In this time of over produced, auto tuned, and pitch corrected vocals, your music is a beacon of joy, as we are able to feel the emotion in your voices. Bravo, VOCES8 and I look forward to hearing more from Lyyra.
Bravo!
Wonderful ! I can hardly detach myself from this exquisite musical moment.
Still filled with the magic of this song. Going back to everyday business requires some effort. :-)
this is so breathtaking ❤❤
Stunning and Angelic........Beautiful Organic reality of who we are ....music direct from the Devine architect that created us all.....Pure Soul music .....Bravo !!!
Tolle Stimmen. Wunderbar aufeinander abgestimmt. ❤
Stunning, wonderful, etherial have all been taken. Let me add "BREATHTAKING" to the fold. Nothing short of the standard set by Voces8.
Wonderful❤!
Love the beautiful blend!
Thank you for the new addition to your group. You all are among the best music on the internet. Words cannot explain the beauty of this groups harmony. I thank GOD that I can find music like this in my lifetime. Again THANK YOU!
I think the most amazing bit here is their clarity with the almost whisper-like pianissimo. It creates so much space for the crescendos. Angelic.
Every voice distinct, every note perfect, harmonics utterly thrilling.
Amazing!! Very serene!
Precise and to the point, simply wonderfully presented. Thank you for that! Greetings from Germany.👍
So beautiful voices, congratulations !
Really wonderful, moving singing! Enjoyed the layers of harmony and women's voices blended so well. Can't wait for the next release! 💛
That low alto!!! 😍😍😍
Stunning, ethereal.
Mesmerising. Sensitive but not overly sentimental. Gorgeous sense of ensemble too and so refreshing to hear the ladies’ sound.
There is something organic about this performance. The group performs as a single instrument. The spooky parallel motion between the top soprano and low alto adds to the mood. The song simply breathes. Lovely!
"... and the earth stands still.. " 🎶👏
Wonderfully beautiful. Thank you (from Toronto)
Wow! That was beautiful! Lyyra deserves the VOCES8 endorsement. Well done, ladies! 🎶
