I CANT STOP WATCHING THIS IT IS SOOOOO GOOOOD.
+Peter Hollens Please do a version of this yourself. PLEASE
Thanks, Peter! We're still loving the idea of collaborating with you at some point! :)
Oh My Gosh I know right! This is so fantastic! It is just so awesome and so relaxing. The voices are so amazing!😊
+BYU Vocal Point PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Do a cover on it
I always told my youngest son I wanted this played at my funeral. Then he passed away suddenly. I play this now to celebrate him and the mission he is serving in the eternities.
My oldest brother unexpectedly passed away a few months ago. He was only 34 years old, a corrections officer. He left behind 6 children, a wife, 6 siblings, parents and countless friends and family. I stumbled upon BYU when I was looking for a version of Danny Boy for his funeral and found the BYU version and this song, both of which were played at the funeral. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing these beautiful songs, it meant so much to me and to my family during such a difficult time. Listening to it still brings me comfort. Thank you!
Beautiful music, May your brother Rest In Peace.
I too have lost two older brothers and find comfort in this. May God keep his memory close to heart for all of you and thank you for sharing his story with us all. Music for me also heals and in the legacy of us that live on a wee bit longer may we find comfort to know they have not left us but they will come home again and greet us once more where death can never again take them from us. God bless. Love Dennis. xxx
34 with 6 kids? Damn
I'm so sorry, that's a lot to go through, you'll see him soon
May your brother Rest In Peace and one day you will see him in heaven💙
I lost my sister. It was sad. I've never cried like I did. Then I turned to this song and it described exactly what it felt to let her go.
She went to be with the Lord. She let go of all those burdens and she just went when we thought she'd live doing the will of God.
I won't bind her to the plow.... I've set her free.
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red,
When the summer's ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure's lost its meaning -
I'll be homeward bound in time
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
If you find it's me you're missing
If you're hoping I'll return,
To your thoughts I'll soon be listening,
And in the road I'll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I'll be retracing
When I'm homeward bound again
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
(softly)
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing
I'll be homeward bound again.
Claudia Wilson
Claudia Wilson Thank You!!
So poetic. Why can't all songs be that way?
Thanks!
In my culture it was considered cool to reject parents and values.. but we desperately need both. Praying for my generation to turn from their own way ..
Who ever is responsible for putting this All American Boys Choir together, really knows their business ! Master of Music / Choir
Little boys...Big boys....singing together...so great!
😂
Blonde dude has the voice of an angel 😍
I know right
Диана Севастьянова sicko
Он русский знает тоже 😂😂
This song meant so much for me, because as a Returned Missionary last year from the Great Texas Fort Worth Mission! 2 months before I’m done with my Mission and it was on a P-Day, I got a called from my Family on the Islands that My Mom had passed away on the night before and I was just didn’t know what to do or say. But I just kept going on with the Missionary work, and didn’t even tell my companion about it cuz I know it’s a big deal. I just try to focus on the work and keep my Mom words just to finish what I have been called to do. So 3 days later they finally informed the Mission office and the Mission President called us but this time my companion answered the phone and he got told that we need to meet up with the Mission President ASAP!. Then that’s when I let my Companion knows about it and he was so shocked and sad. But long story short I’m home now but idc about what anyone says about me and why I didn’t come home to my Mom or spend lot of time with her before she passed away. All I care and know it’s that I’ll be able to meet her one day and my Dad also. I have strong Faith in His Gospel! Peace and love from the Marshall Islands 🇲🇭!!
You did very good!
You are loved!
Beautiful testimony ❤ you are so blessed to have that tangible faith.
You made your Mama proud! She let you know the right thing to do and YOU DID IT!!!
OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMENTS ARE THEIR COMMENTS AND THAT'S ALL THEY ARE - NOT TO WORRY - STAY ON THE COVENANT PATH.
Returned from Utah Salt lake city mission. English and Spanish. Helped in Midvale, Rocks spring, Wyoming, Murray, and rose Park Utah. And returned with honor, served all 2 years. And finally got my testimony. And felt heart broken leaving, but so happy being released by my president. And being within my parents embrace.🥲🫡
And heard this song thru out the whole time.
I am part of the Boys Chorus. I joined a little while after this video was filmed, and we are doing a concert with them this month!
+Elliott Walker - Hey Elliott! We feel honored to have the opportunity to perform with you again soon! Can't wait to meet you and the rest of the new members. :)
+Elliott Walker AYYY Elliott! It's Elliot Masinsin, your friend from Chorus :)
Oh hi Elliot :)
LUCKY! I wish I could be in this choir. Just out of curiousity if you get this, where do you rehearse and how can someone audition?
Go to American Boy Choir online & contact them. Hope you see this. Good luck to you!
Sooooooooo, why does this music video NOT have billions of views again?
+Jacob Dunn hope ur not mormon. and this vid is pretentious. and it doesnt deserve a billion views
+Karen Darlan how in the world is it "pretentious"? It can mean anything to anyone, but the meaning I got was a missionary missing his family but knowing he'd return when His work was done. It's baffling that you got "pretentious."
+ZeldaDanielle it's about a boy that ran away. I sang it in choir last year.
+Stephanie Wesfall the song can mean anything to anyone, but someone who runs away doesn't plan to go home again. First hand experience with that.
+Stephanie Wesfall actually its about a war veteran coming home to his family
Lead singer has one of the finest voices I've heard in a long time.
That's our man Jordan Hales! Really amazing guy! ☺
This makes me think of the Prodigal Son🥺❤️
I’m not Mormon, but dang the men in this choir are good looking and can sing! 😂😍
The beginning sounds like a section of Jupiter by Gustav Holst, one of my favorite themes.
Mapa Mundial Good ear! If you watch this behind-the-scenes video, you'll hear McKay Crockett talk about using Jupiter in his arrangement of this song: th-cam.com/video/gfgtdvMEZ7U/w-d-xo.html
Mapa Mundial I thought it sounded a bit like Anthem to Our King
Mapa Mundial It IS that tune--The intro is commonly known as a hymn tune called "Thaxted".
Mapa Mundial The opening also kind of reminds me of I Vow to Thee My Country. Love that song too.
Same tune, Breanne.
I feel in heaven when i listen to this.
Perfect combination from kids and adults together.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us
+Dirk Martens Thank you so much, Dirk!
whats heavens address?
I totally feel ya on that one dirk:) this song brings so much joy and light to my soul.
it's address: John 14:6
Even the scenary.
This is arguably, hands down, the most beautiful rendition of this song that I’ve heard. ❤️
Graduation was already five years ago...
Gosh, It feels like yesterday that we performed this song🥺😭💖
We sang this in choir I literally wanna cry 😭 it’s so beautiful
This was my Aunt's favorite song. She passed away in May of 2010. My dad has my family sing it often. This is a beautiful rendition. You're all very talented. Thank you for this.
Kelly Delaney so sorry for your aunt
My son so enjoyed working with Vocal Point on this project. This AABC mom is grateful!
I think these lyrics are up for individual interpretation, but I took it to be sung by someone who has just passed away and is singing to his family that he'll see them again. In other words, when he says don't bind me to the pastures and plows (the mundane labors of mortality) but let me go and find my calling (the truth, and everything that awaits me in the next life / heaven), then I'll still come back to you and I'll hear your thoughts and we'll still be close somehow, and we'll still see each other again. It's a song of comfort to those of us who have been left behind.
It is everything this piece could possibly be with the human voice. It is lavish, sumptuous in harmonic sonority, beautiful haunting turns of dissonance into hopeful resolution, and the boys' voices as a soaring ostinato? Sheer aural bliss. If you are not tearful, moved, or overwhelmed after wrapping yourself in this sonic masterpiece, you, my friend, have no soul. Once again, Vocal Point, you have produced a work of art.
You hit the nail on the head. You have an excellent taste in music. Did you like the message behind the song??
absolutely
You took the words right from me
9th
I feel like travelling in space every time I listen to this amazing songs. Feels like angels are so near. Thank you for this uplifting song.
I looooove this. Reminds me of my sweet brother who passed 11 years ago. 💔
Much love to you and your family
I never imagined a child of my own..so fine to know God is always able to reach them..
The number of times I'm hearing the song..😄😄😄😄....beautiful rendition...Amen!😊...My prayer is that I'll be homebound for heaven even when I'm still here on earth...
Anyone listening to this in 2019??
I still am! Love this rendition. Hits me in the feels everytime.
I listen to this song a lot. It's so beautiful and it comforts me when I'm feeling upset. Thank you to BYU Vocal Point and the All-American Boys choir for working together to make this moving piece of music!
Fantastic, adored this so much
Thanks so much, Caleb! We're thrilled to hear that you liked it!
BYU Vocal Point ff
I remember that this song is a piece of my high school choir's solo and ensemble contest. God, this song is undeniably beautiful :')
You watch Vocal Point? My two worlds have officially collided. My head is spinning.
WOAH ITS CALEB, WHERES CHARLIE?!
I remember my sister would sing this song often and now she’s in college and as soon as I heard this song it reminded me of how much I missed her I was hold back those tears
😭my sis is gone to collage too!!
somehow, i feel the the urge to say, "best song/performance/video....something, ever".
I’m a Veteran and today at a school the children sang this for us. Brought my to tears
WOW!!! Sniff, sniff. Beautiful, amazing music. I LOVE the collaboration of the voices from the younger boys of The All-American Boys Chorus and the Vocal Point men... simply stunning. Bravo!!!
Not sure who gave this song a thumbs down but whoever did doesn’t know good choral music and a cappella. Well sung gentlemen, beautiful rendition of an awesome song
Schöne klare Stimmen, herrlich❗❤
Lift your voices and sing GODS GLORY💞💓💞
This song is my favorite among BYU vocal point's song. Through this song I no longer worry about my health for I know god will provide my healing.
Just stopping by to say that I appreciate my music teacher for giving us this beautiful song for my senior year, miss you all Mr. Bowman
My grandpa died just last year a few days before his birthday and this song was one of his favorites. A friend of his played this before his passing and sent the spirit to us. Thank you so much Byu Vocal Point for doing this. The spirit was strong and I was reminded of Grandpa.
Being in the military away from family for long periods of time, hearing this song made me break down. So beautiful and lovely. Thank you, God, for this music.
I love the Holst bit in the beginning.
omg they put Holst's Jupiter in the intro I'm in love
If we parents all take it serious not to bind the grownups... It is a proof of trusting them to go their way ...
I so understand, lost my brother to covid😥... We need you JESUS💞💓💞
Yep, I’m weeping. This is so incredibly beautiful. 🥲
Ah... Beautiful. I'm a part of the All American Boys Chorus, and I completed a great achievement: I invited a boy to join us. This video is what I watch every day. It reminds me of all of the soldiers that come home from a war. I wish I were a part of this video, but I wasn't in the concert chorus at that time... Though I was in the BYU concert :)
This was the piece of music I chose for my husband's funeral. It breaks my heart every time I hear it. So Beautiful.
This song is the best I have heard. My uncle recently passed away and I want to sing this for him. He was 25 and had epilepsy and lost him unexpectedly.
Years ago, I spent a year in Georgia Children's Chorus, and we did a concert with the boys choir showcased in this video. Those boys are truly amazing vocalists. I was blown away when they performed a piece with overtones.
This is my favorite song, and you guys sing it beautifully. I get chills every time.
I just lost my friend last night. This song has helped with that pain. I know that she's happy and not in pain anymore. I know that she's back home with her heavenly father in heaven. Thank you for this.
We're so sorry for your loss. We hope that you can continue to find solace and we want you to know that we love you. Thank you for sharing with us. ☺
the BYU and Soon to be Men set me still. for them and with them i shall be forever more.
Don't know how I ended up here and was about to leave a smart ass comment and move on. Ended up pondering on my life. Where I've been, where I am, where I'm going. Unbelievable.
Hope you pondering has found something good💕🤙🏻
Vinny....that's VERY cool.....keep listening to that "small still voice". It'll help......believe me.
We're playing this for band class, I thought it'd be like our normal songs...but it's capable of bringing tears to my eyes...
Dharmesh Mistry We have to play it too, but we are really bad so it doesnt bring tears to my eyes 😂
Anna Florness Lmao, we're in the same boat then. xD
One of the best music arrangements ever, May God continue to bless thee Vocal point ❤🔥 ✅
When I listen to their music, I almost think I hear angels singing alongside of them. This is the closest I've ever heard to heavenly music!
I always think of this song as a soldier goin off to war.
Same...
What war.
No like a war, not specific...
it is about a war veteran coming home to his family
I too get that vibe, but I've also heard people say it references the Prodigal Son.
Guys. Peter Hollens did a version of this song, and he commented on this one, saying it's so good. Do you realize how humble and perfect that is? I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS SO MUCH
Two wonderful choirs sing these great versions of this iconic song! I love it!
That first rotation with the group appearing, uncut, was pretty clever. Neat effect. :-)
So beautiful. I want to sing with him! 😍
You should listen to peter hollen's version! Homeward Bound- Peter Hollens
Hey!!! Fam!!!!
This song means so much to me I lost my grandma 4 years ago I think of her and one day I will see her again
Beautiful
My chorus recently ended and this was all of our favorite song to sing so whenever I listen to this song it just gives me chills and makes me want to cry because joining that chorus was probably the best decision of my life because I met some lifelong friends there that I will cherish forever so I just wanted to say how much this song means to me
I loved hearing McKay Crockett say the arrangement came together in his mind once he thought of the Jupiter chorale. To me, both pieces promise a beautiful future to a bittersweet present. They transform the pastoral setting from a hindrance to a sanctuary. It's a creative, moving pairing.
Jordan Hale's performance is incredible. Each "Bind me not" gives me chills.
Thanks for this video :)
Thank you so much for the great Music gives us a little Peace Silvie
I have the pleasure of knowing the lead singer from my mission days and as a roommate after my mission. God put 80% of his available vocal talent into Jordan and the rest of the world got to divide up the remaining 20%.
Pretty sure at least half of the views are mine. This is so gorgeous I can't stop listening to it.
ftskim Mee tooooooo
+ftskim Well then you're an ignorant kid only thinking about yourself. Go fuck yourself you selfish bitch.
+ғ̶̷̲̅ Wow. Rough day? Wanna talk about it?
ftskim I'm sorry.
Bro chill. They just liked the song
Thank you for the peace this song brings, it’s nice in this world.
I involuntarily cried today listening to this song and I don't even know why. What an experience!
Duuuuuhuuuuuhuuuuuuudddd.
Ok, this song has alwayse made me feel something deap inside like I came somehwere I miss and want to see some close forgotton person again. Ive alwayse been raised in the church but unfortunatly I didnt see it in a genuin way for alot of my yet short life. But I decited I needed to go for what I know deap inside which I trust more then the world, and it just went back to the church lol. And I found a website that has storys of what peopel have seen when they were dead but were able to cone back to life. And it was amasing to finally read about Home! And so Ive been working hard to have a more authentic relationship with God, and like alwayse He has been teaching me line apon line. And I know He is the kne I have wanted all this time. I dont even know if you know all of what is behind that. How much it realy means!! And so Im very happy to say that this song now feels more normal instead of some feeling i only feel when i listen. And I still have alot to learn. I still realy feel something when the lyrics say “bind me not!!” And im not suprised but still i want to learn specificky why I feel to taht so much. I know there is going to be amasing things in the future and I will find what my life search has been all about for sure!! :)
I sang this in a choir at NAU Music Camp with a young woman who I kept in touch with for a few years until I started college. We exchanged letters and always kept this song close to our hearts. We started dating, eventually married, and now, 17 years after I told her how I felt, have 2 beautiful children. This brought some tears, but of true happiness and gratitude. Thank you Vocal Point. =)
In... credible. I don't remember the last time a TH-cam video made me cry that hard. This is beautiful beyond words. To God be the glory. Well done gentlemen... Well done.
As the world is ending this is one of the songs we will hear
Just saw this. How beautifully done. How talented are these young people. And the cinematography is. Fabulous. Thank you and bright blessings to everyone.❤
Wow! This is SO beautiful!
Superb arrangement and performance. 👍🏼🎶
Anyone want to put this on a loop for me so I can cry every single time the younger group comes in? It's...... it's my new favorite song
Last year, my choir teacher resigned and this was the last song we sang together as a choir with her. It was extremely emotional and almost everyone in the choir was choked up and had tears in their eyes. This song will always be so bittersweet for me and thank you for performing this song so beautifully.
We're all so grateful for the choir teachers in our lives! 😍 And thanks for your kind words!
The lead's voice is very pleasant listening. The sound of the All-American Boys Chorus is absolutely beautiful.
I can't stop replaying this. Thank you for sharing.
This song was the last performance my grandparents saw me do before they passed away
This is the song I want at my funeral.
Just beautiful beyond words...
SOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marta Keens composition is a favorite of mine. Your arrangement is very nice. Thank you for the music 🎶.
I sang this for the CJMEA choir last year, which was an amazing experience. That key change with the kids was AMAZING!!!! Having two key changes in one song is also really hard to do, so well done!!!
All of the dislikes were from the people who hit it on accident because they were crying so much.
I would like to ask the 7 people that didn't "like" this video, what was wrong with it?! This is near perfection! Excellent vid guys!
This makes me miss my choir days. Not only did we sing the songs, but we learned the stories behind it and it gave it so much more meaning.
I love how they incorporated Gustav Holst's Jupiter. Absolutely amazing
This is incredible
Amazing combination with two outstanding choirs. I hope there's more in the future with these two. The music and video could not have been more perfect!
I love this song. it's so beautiful and hopeful. It makes me thing of someone who has been traveling or had a hard life of working and they can finally leave.
If my heart is granite, the amazing performance carved the memory forever in me. Even though I am a dead stone, I shall remember the divine invoice for ever for people to stop by me and read the message. It will end all religious/scientific arguments on this planet. People will learn to live happily ever after.
this song makes me think of someone who is dying and does not want you to be sad, because they’re just going back home to Heaven. “bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow, set me free to find my calling, and I’ll return to you somehow.” is them saying that it is time to let them go, and not to worry because they’ll always be with you. Makes me wanna cry every time. 🥺
I cry every time I hear it, I used to tell my son to play it at my funeral. Now he’s been in heaven. 7 years. It’s a beautiful song. I know he returns to look over me when he can.
This song was so comforting to me and just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
This song was sang at my best friends graduation and it always brings me to tears because it's such a beautiful song
Glory to Almighty God!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I ask Jesus to bless you all on this beautiful mission and many people can be touched by the Holy Spirit! God bless you all!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
One of their best in My opinion.
