During this horrible time in our lives I can say one thing for sure. To be alive today and having lived my years on this great earth...I am the Luckiest!!!!!!!
I am now happy to have lived in the time of VOCES8
I have never been able to make it through this song without weeping! So beautifully layered and stunning! Stellar performance!!
...same here...
Every time I start to lose faith in humanity I just listen to choir music. Listen to what we can do with just us. We are the luckiest!!
A few winters ago, a little voice told me to go to a local college to hear this group.. it was an awesome night, I will always remember and thank this little voice!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm quite sad I've just discovered this. And Blake Morgan... Is just purely an amazing vocalist. THEY ALL ARE. this is breathtaking to hear. Wish I could sing with them!
Justin, where are you based? If you check out their website they tour some quite intimate venues and run workshops in the afternoons before the concert. Not quite the same as performing with them but for us mortals... I'm hoping their November date in Kent, UK is going to go ahead because I've booked up.
How can they perform like this and not burst into tears? Too beautiful forever
As an eighty year old man Ben Folds always speaks to me.....have been a great fan for years attending loads of concerts.
The BEST version I've ever heard. Absolutely stunning.
A stunning arrangement of one of the most beautiful love songs ever composed.
3:23 - that high note is spine chilling
Unless I'm mistaken that's Andrea's signature presence.
The song is beautiful, as usual, but I'd like to say that you all look fantastic in this video. The hair, makeup and the outfits are on point.
This was my husband and I’s first dance song. This rendition brought big, ugly tears to my eyes. This is breathtakingly stupendous.
Such pleasant voice this guy has. It reaches the heart.
Beautiful... as always, with VOCES8!
So absolutely stunning. I don't know how many times I listened to this over the last few years. Always so elevating. I wonder what Ben Folds thinks of this arrangement and rendition. I hope he likes it. I find it quite a tribute to his song.
This is hands down the greatest vocal group in the history of all humanity.
Your performances are so *compelling* for me. Feeling, artistry, brilliance, blending and oh that beautiful bass foundation. Makes me want to find a choir again.
I am beyond excited to have this played at my wedding this January!!! A candle light service with the theme of winter wonderland
How did your wedding go? Did everybody love this song?
I really love this group A lot 👩🏼🦳💋
I'm a grown man. And this band makes me cry.
if I were to get married one day I would definitely use this song as my theme.
It's perfect for that. We had our first dance to it (well, the original anyway; this one didn't exist at the time).
Now I am the luckiest. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful arrangement. Blake has an incredible voice! So pure and soothing.
Although I own the CD Lux and listen to it frequently, I still come back to this upload all the time and I wonder how I could LIKE it a million times.... Pure soul food!
How can 8 people sound like a whole choir! Wow!
The room they are in plays a big part. All those hard wooden surfaces bounce the sound around. It would not have the same sound if there were people in the pews.
Because they sing in tune
I'm still amazed at how anyone can dislike this and live with themselves :')
Awsome! The new guy is excellent. Beautiful sound and blends so well with the group. You all sound like one instrument. Extraordinarily musical!
Bring tears to my eyes. Great harmony.
This is the kind of music I love to listen to, its so chilling and amazing
yasminload63 Absolutely, this is what you call real music!
I can't say this for many people but now I say 'this is wonderful!'
This is how I imagine heaven to sound like
I love you Lisa and forever will this be our song. I know I am THE LUCKIEST for having known you. I will always love you and never understand why after seven years we couldn’t cross the finish line together. We are with other people now but in our heart of hearts know we are soulmates and live with the pain of wondering “what if”. Goodbye my love❤️ THE LUCKIEST
The subtlety and detail... moment to moment... every time I listen, there’s a new nuance that informs the work... thank you
Can't stop listening to this. Love this group.
AMEN!
Are you kidding me? this is absolutely beautiful. Please put this on Apple music so I can play on repeat
Spotify Premuim, baby.
They're just incredible
I'm a bit puzzled at the 79 dislikes...what's there not to like here? The sound is immaculate...stunning! Bravo!
I am the luckiest to hear this group..I am 80 years old and for a momen I thought I was 20 again! Thank you , Blake ( and the rest!)
I don't get many things right the first time,
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles,
And falls brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face,
Now I see it every day
And I know
That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
What if I had been born fifty years before you
In a house on the street
Where you lived
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike. Would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
I love you more then have
Ever found the way to say
To you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties and one day
Passed away in his sleep,
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days, and passed away
I'm sorry I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong,
That I know
That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
How is anything this good?
Right... I seriously don't understand why these guys would choose to sing this trash music.... sigh...
@@PewPewReload lol wut
God owed them a favor
PewPewReload that takes talent, and a lot of breath Y’know
@@PewPewReload what makes this trash music?
so breath taking!!
Heavenly! No other words can better describe this song or the group. I saw them at Sherborne Abbey and I look forward to seeing them at Milton Abbey this summer.
Beyond beautiful..
Incredibly beautiful voices!
Gives me constant chills
Thank you for bringing this measure joy into my life. I'm sure that I've listened a dozen times already. I enjoy it more, the more I listen. This is the most beautiful piece of music I've heard in a very long time.
So beautiful!!! It touched my heart.
beautifully crafted..skill level is very very high. Blake is ace. I prefer this to the album.
i cannot stop playing it all day
One of their best!
their breath support/lung capacity is INSANE
Can't get enough from this. You guys are brilliant.....
Stunning!.... Absolutely stunning!
OH COME ON! I can't stop listening....this sweet piece!
Musical Magic. I cried.
one of my most favourite songs sung by voces8
Similar to Shenandoah, the alternate take of this song vs. album version from "Evensong" is one of the best musical news of 2017! I liked the old one but always considered it too "clinic". This one lives, it touches, it flows... goose bumps, man. Thanks @vocescantabilemusic!
The only current member of the group singing on the Evensong version was Barnie Smith. They've improved their blend out of all recognition since that early 2008 version, and have recorded two more versions since then, with different line-ups: Lux in 2015, which was much better, and this one on VOCES8 in 2019 (and repeated on Concert Select in 2021), with the line-up on this video , and I think it's definitely the best. It's interesting to compare the three though.
Stunning sounds as usual really very beautiful - thank you!
Absolutely fantastic! Amazing song and even more wonderful performance. Just love it!
Magia.... emozione...... grazie!!!!! ❤
Oh my! This has instantly become "my song of dedication" - THANK YOU!
Moment magique!!!!! Le ciel peut attendre!! Au plaisir de vous revoir en France sud ou en Euskadi !!!!
Music is one of the best forms of art. This is an example....
I love your harmonies and expressive renditions. Your performances with the ambient settings and wonderful sound never fail to move me. Thank you so much!
Love you guys! Awesome as always. And one of my faves 😍😍🎶 x
Wow...just discovered this song and stumbled onto your version. Stunningly beautiful! Can't wait to listen to your other music!
Stunning. Beautiful video, too. Love you guys. - Ashes
Hermosa música, grandes voces y un ensamble espectacular. Desde Buenos Aires con admiración.
Love you guys!!
Just simply brilliant & impeccable...I'm in the realm of levity softly cushioned with fluffy clouds, I can rest peacefully now. 🤲🙏💛
This beautiful voices touch my Heart and Soul
Wonderful to listen to this music and it gives me power to get through this hard times
Phantastisch!
What a voice!
Linda composição e a interpretação do solista realmente mexe com os sentimentos de quem ouve!
Belíssimo trabalho!
What a group!!!
There Are No Proper
Words Except, Beautiful 🎶
Thank you for keeping me going... I wouldn't want to know what would happen if this kind of beautiful music didn't exist.
I know it's a bit out of season... but I would absolutely love to hear Voces8 to sing 'Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence'. With their voices I know it would be hauntingly beautiful
And Faire Is The Heaven.
Amen to that!
This is my wedding song. I just wish I had found this version back then.
Que música mais linda!
Ascoltando questa musica, chiudendo gli occhi si immaginano atmosfere intense. Bravissimi! Grazie.
Why did TH-cam just now recommend this to me, it’s such a gorgeous song
beautiful....
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING
Indeed I am. Thoroughly touched.
im chopping onions here
Fantastici grazie
I can’t wait to sing this, hopefully our extracurricular choir will rock it! I have the solo, which is so beautiful, oh my goodness, and so I’m super excited to perform this. 😍
this is too beautiful:(
Amazing god ✟ be with you... 🙏
Amazing!!
I have someone now who for me this reflects perfectly.
Breathtaking
Perfection.
Beautiful.
Musique chorale, musique polyphonique: pour aller vers le ciel!
My sister and her husband danced to the original as their first dance song. This version is just as amazing.
Wundervoll!
Muito bonito. Vozes maravilhosas (Brasil)
beautiful
Quel plaisir !
