I had to say goodbye to my dog last week, she was my constant companion of 17 years. The night before she’d died I lifted her up to the stars and told her that’s where she was going and I’d be there with her one day. The day after she died this came on the radio. I play it every day and it soothes my pain. It’s an absolutely stunning piece of singing, beautiful. Thank you.
Semi-experienced singer here. Just performed this song for a rather prestigious choir program in my state. Definitely one of the best pieces I've performed!
I sang and played this for my sweet baby dog over and over the last few days of her life; it gave me great comfort and I was trying to tell her it’s ok for you to “go gently.” Love you and miss you, Abby.
VOCES8 has SUCH a sound--their own, unique, immediately recognizable sound. Gorgeous beyond words. Thanks to all of them for all the hard work it takes to get there and to maintain it.
I've seen them perform this live and all I'll say is that I'm so glad that they performed it last because I was crying so much I'm not sure I'd have been able to pay attention to much more of the concert haha
Underneath the stars I'll meet you Underneath the stars I'll greet you There beneath the stars I'll leave you Before you go of your own free will Go gently Underneath the stars you met me Underneath the stars you left me I wonder if the stars regret me At least you'll go of your own free will Go gently Here beneath the stars I'm landing And here beneath the stars not ending Why on earth am I pretending? I'm here again, the stars befriending They come and go of their own free will Go gently Go gently Underneath the stars you met me And Underneath the stars you left me I wonder if the stars regret me I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me They come and go of their own free will Go gently Go gently Go gently
Amazing, I have only heard Kate Rusby's work performed by, Kate Rusby. It is so different when V8 gives it their inimitable treatment. Very nice. So nice to see Sam lending his amazIng tenor voice too.
The first time i heard this song was at the capital building at Montana with a schoold choir performing there test ir some sort. I was above the balcony hearing it above.
This was one of the first pieces I heard performed by Voces8...Can't believe half the singers in this video are gone including the lovely Emily singing this solo and her replacement Elenore is moving on too. So Bittersweet
Not only do Voces8 sing beautifully, and post videos with perfect sound and expert video editing, but... how do they manage to choose music I've not heard before, but which instantly joins my all time favourites list?! Thank you all so much... words just fail me!
This is the first V8 song I happened upon, Christmas night 2018. I was entranced. Somewhere around dawn, I finally stopped listening to and watching everything else I could find. The obsession was immediate. 😁
I'm learning this as a brass band arrangement - I'd never heard it before. The harmonies are so perfectly clear here. I hope I can do it justice on the cornet.
I sang this my first year in my school’s audition choir. It was only two years ago, but it feels so long ago, and now I’m going to graduate by the summer. I only have four concerts until I will have sung every song I will ever sing as a high schooler in choir. Two years may not seem that long ago to anyone reading this comment, but that’s two years of the most complicated, fun, stressful, life-forming days I’ve ever had. Frankly, I’m not ready for this to be over. I lived for the end of the school year until I realized those days I was dragged through forced me in infinite, ever-lasting ways. Now it’s too late to get those back, and that’s a fact that has devastated me: I’ll never get that time back, ever, and I kinda hate myself for it. So I leave this comment to the abyss, never to be seen again. Goodbye (:
Blake: you should post a waveform and spectrogram analysis of Emily's voice. I would love to see the same for Eleonore's voice as well. Two very distinctive voice timbres.
Underneath the stars I'll meet you Underneath the stars I'll greet you There beneath the stars I'll leave you Before you go of your own free will Go gently Underneath the stars you met me Underneath the stars you left me I wonder if the stars regret me They come and go of their own free will Go gently Here beneath the stars I'm mending I'm here beneath the stars not ending Why on earth am I pretending? I'm here again, the stars befriending They come and go of their own free will Go gently Go gently Underneath the stars you met me And here beneath the stars you left me I wonder if the stars regret me I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me They come and go of their own free will Go gently Go gently
Only leave gently if you've been treated gently, if not, then don't ever, believe me. So, an amazing song and singing to be sure but it only means anything if it was a relationship of meaning to start with. If it wasn't then why celebrate it or believe in it? It's just words, actions are better. If it never was any good then this is a song of yearning and not some belief in something that was ever real.
Poppamunz Jonas Vezia Thanks for your comment. The reason this videos has come up again is because this upload is on the group’s VEVO channel, which is different to the TH-cam channel. The reason is is appearing here is because we have now made our videos available across all digital platforms so that, for example, Apple Music subscribers can view them on the iTunes platform. We hope this will increase the amount of viewers who are able to enjoy them.
Such a perfect harmony perfect vocals, but compared to the original they completely miss the essence. Kate Rusby touches my heart because of her husky voice and close, intense singing. And she wrote the song.

That is is so nice , I listen to this every time I need something x what radio station plays this?
@@garethgarstang731
It was on Radio 3 (UK) 🙂
There are days that this music gets me through. It grounds me and gives me hope. It could not be more beautiful or more real.
Oh yes...I understand.

Must be extremely rough when babies die 😢
This is such a beautiful song, heartfelt and much needed during such a difficult time for everyone.....made me cry
The original by Kate Rusby is equally beautiful.
The lead vocalist really sells this lyric. Arrangements and performance touched me to my core.
the authentic smile is essential to the sound I feel
This has quickly become one of my favorite songs
This is the song that first introduced me to this
fabulous group. It has a very special place in my heart
Same here!
❤❤❤
Missing Emily beeing a part of voces8 when listening to this beauty 😢💛
Oh me too! Such a gorgeous voice!
VOCES8 has SUCH a sound--their own, unique, immediately recognizable sound. Gorgeous beyond words. Thanks to all of them for all the hard work it takes to get there and to maintain it.
This by far the best version of this song
FACT!🙏
If you promise me that these voices will sound in the eternity of heaven, I could not wait.
In the eternity of heaven, you will be one of these voices ... and it will not be voces8 but voces-uncountable! 🙂
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
Seconded
I've seen them perform this live and all I'll say is that I'm so glad that they performed it last because I was crying so much I'm not sure I'd have been able to pay attention to much more of the concert haha
Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath the stars I'll greet you
There beneath the stars I'll leave you
Before you go of your own free will
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
At least you'll go of your own free will
Go gently
Here beneath the stars I'm landing
And here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I'm here again, the stars befriending
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
And Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Go gently
Thankyou so much!I can't hear all the words.
@@paulinerichardson138 I heard "Oh Jenny" instead of "Go gently" 😀

im a masive fan of kate rusbys music.
i am sure she will be blown away by this interpretaton of her song.
love it!!

Heavenly,
And quite sad too: I understand that this was the last performance of the lead soprano in the white top with the group... 💔
It was similar when Eleonore left - they sang Rheinberger's 'Abendlied' with the lyrics "stay with us".
One word sums up this performance: “Exquisite”!
I really hope this is what heaven sounds like
Underneath the stars... we hear an Angels voice.
Not only do Voces8 sing beautifully, and post videos with perfect sound and expert video editing, but... how do they manage to choose music I've not heard before, but which instantly joins my all time favourites list?! Thank you all so much... words just fail me!
Kate rusby...a whole catalogue of music, and on TH-cam an uninterrupted mix of her older songs
Hadn't heard this one before. Luscious. Thanks!
Angels ! Just wonderful !
This is the first V8 song I happened upon, Christmas night 2018. I was entranced. Somewhere around dawn, I finally stopped listening to and watching everything else I could find. The obsession was immediate. 😁
Possibly one of the most sublime pieces of a cappella singing I heard recently. When the time comes, I want this on my playlist…❤
This is beautiful and "gentle."
Beautiful song, exquisite arrangement, mesmerizing performance by the ensemble, especially Ms. Dickens.
Year to year I come back to this beautiful song. It touches something in my core ❤
It is monumentally and endlessly beautiful. I cry every time I listen to it.
I love this song and I love this performance. I return to it when I need to feel better.
Amazing song and performed to perfection.. It speaks to me...
This is insanely beautiful.
Absolutely stunning!! What a beautiful group of voices ♥️
I'm learning this as a brass band arrangement - I'd never heard it before. The harmonies are so perfectly clear here. I hope I can do it justice on the cornet.

Gets me every single time 🥺 So so stunning 💕

Bello bello el fraseo!!
So beautiful. One for the desert island!
Great acoustics. Thank you !
Perfection. So beautiful.
Po prostu niebiańsko. Dziękuję serdecznie za kulturę śpiewu z najwyższej półki.
Her Majesty went gently.
Margaret thankyou for that, exactly. And as only she should have too, well said.
Es reconfortante oír esas voces, en estos momentos de tensiones. Gracias.
My cheekbones arms & neck tingles everytime I hear this. I think of the one who introduced me to this.
Beautiful, thank you.
The Most Underrated Performance and Song💖💖
I love the mezzo's voice sooooo baaaaaad
Cette chanson m'arrache des sanglots à chaque écoute, la vôtre et ailleurs
sublime: exalted in thought, expression, or manner of outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth (Merriam Webster).
reminds me of the saying that the way to recognise great art or music is that it can be re-interpreted and surpassed by those who come later.
wooooooooooooow.plz plz post those angels everywere
Just so lovely ❤
Beautiful!
so much talent in one place = natural high
I'm all tingly!!!
Magníficos 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💙💙💙🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Perfect
musica magnifica !!
Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath the stars I'll greet you
There beneath the stars I'll leave you
Before you go of your own free will
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Here beneath the stars I'm mending
I'm here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I'm here again, the stars befriending
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
And here beneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Me encantan!!! ♥
CHILLS.

Relaxing
Beautiful sounds created and eminating from exceptional vocalists.
Thank you ❤️🇿🇦
(Just one question, who is "Jet Lee" and where must he go? 🤪🤣)
Thank you. This made me laugh. 😆
I always hear 'Oh, Jenny.' This made me smile!
Glory of God!
soothing!!!🎹😊
Eyup. Love oor Kate. The Yorkshire Nightingale
Gorgeous! Recording date?
2:25
I wonder why they're reuploading all the old videos?

This remind anyone else of Desperados Under the Eaves?
One of my favorite videos from VOCES8. I wonder how Emily Dickens is doing.
To answer my own question -- Emily Dickens was on a recent V8 interview segment! th-cam.com/video/_QjbLlNxNTo/w-d-xo.html
Such a perfect harmony perfect vocals, but compared to the original they completely miss the essence. Kate Rusby touches my heart because of her husky voice and close, intense singing. And she wrote the song.
I miss my ex.
Is it just me or is the video and audio out of sync?
Konstantin Geissler possibly bluetooth lag?
I love this! I’m addicted - brings tears to my eyes. What’s wrong with an older song? This song suits a choir perfectly.
I’ve been boo boo the fooled this isn’t a Mariah Carey cover 😔😔😔
It just might be better... :) Lucky you to stumble upon this by accident.
Come on guys. This is old. (Also good.) (But also old.)
sgabriel Apparently all their videos were put on Vivo so they’re all appearing as new videos on our feeds
