“Shake It Out”: Florence and The Machine covered by Capital Children's Choir 

I hope these children know just how beautiful and evocative they are. This is what angels would sound like.

Kid at 3:43, I saw that little flip. I saw it. Aces to you, Kid at 3:43.

Whoever the hell this music teacher is, is freaking amazing. Most would just go straight for a top 20s pop song of today.

Everytime I hear that beginning, I start crying. His voice hits me hard. That's my little buddy. :)

The boy in the beginning!!!! They couldn't have made a better decision of who to begin the song! 😍😍😍

the boy at the begging kicks ass, good job dude.

Holy crap the girl at around 1:50 has an amazing voice

8 years later, this is still a song I listen to regularly. I don't think I've heard the original in ages, but this one..this one is always my go to calming song

You go little man. Dont go changin for nobody!

Sounds like something you'd hear during a glorious sunrise

“It’s always darkest before the dawn” Let’s make 2021 great

One of the best children's choirs I have ever heard.

The little guy in the beginning KILLS me.

I want to buy this on ITUNES!!!!

I just came back for another listen. Dammit, I just can't listen to this without welling up - absolute chills at 3:20

"Shake It Out" Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn And I've been a fool and I've been blind I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground So I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa And I am done with my graceless heart So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back And given half the chance would I take any of it back It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone It's always darkest before the dawn Oh whoa, oh whoa... And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me Looking for heaven, found the devil in me Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa

Heaven should play this over the radio and on monitors at all times.

1:42 She made me cry so many times. Love it! ❤

I get back to this every once in a while... Both this and I trust Us. So good.

WHO THE HELL DISLIKED THIS !? they are amazing.

Think about this. These young people making these amazing sounds. They're just bunches of atoms that have somehow acquired consciousness, and these atoms make these beautiful noises. I don't believe in God, but this makes me want to.

3:15-3:28, the crescendo coming out of the bridge, with the older kids bringing it, wow! Goose bumps every time.

perfect blend of innocence and authority for the little man, his transition from real voice to head voice just gave me goosebumps. argh you guys are amazing!!

I really love how all of these kids look so happy to sing

The future is in good hands

I'm gonna assume this is a school for performing arts. That was simply too amazing for me to believe otherwise. All those soloists killed it and the drums gave me serious goosebumps!

"To anyone who gave this a thumbs down, all I can say is I wish you light and love to dispel whatever darkness surrounds your heart"

Every once in a while I look for these gems that squeeze the tears out of me from the place I've had them stored throughout my daily struggles... I cry and I feel restarted. Thank You!

the people that disliked this, have no taste in music! I can't believe how amazing these kids are :)

it's really amazing. I sang in the choir and this video makes me a little nostalgic. I hope that all the people in this video are ok now.

I can't get enough of this, it's so beautiful. ❤ I can't remember what the original sounds like anymore LOL.

Ive come back to watch this many many times for a few years now, i wonder what these kids are up to now.

brought tears to my eyes... this was simply beautiful

the girl who sings at the 1.41 mark is amazing.one of the best voices i have ever heard..

Jees ... 11 years since this epic work was released. Sad to think that everone in this video has grown up and probably moved on to other things. I wonder if any of them watch this just for old times sake ... if so, then I hope you're all doing great, especially the little dude at the start (who's probably married and starting his own family).

I'm not crying. There's a children's choir in my eye.

I can tell this took a very long time and it brings tears to my eyes because these kids are very committed on What they do. It must've been more than 200 children for this one song and how all their beautiful voices came together was amazing

Ok so I know the saying, "you sounded like an angel". THESE KIDS LITERALLY SOUND LIKE ANGLES! PROPS TO THEM!

Genial.... Jeder in diesem Chor würde vor einer Jury bestehen, egal ob DSDS, BGT oder wo auch immer. Es gibt noch Kunst, es gibt noch Hoffnung in dieser Welt...

That little boy in the beginning is just so adorable!

I wish I could like this more than once! I come back to this video when I need a little boost in life. Seriously... there is so much to take away from their singing. It's Heavenly.

1:42 best voice ever :D

These sounds are what will carry my soul to it's next destination.

I wish there was a song about personal issues, when I was a teenager. These kids here, they're lucky. And talented.

this is one of them songs that cant be over listened too

i still listen to this song in 2020, quarantine sucks i need something. they couldn't have done a better job!!

I'm usually a bit of a skeptic, but the moment that little boy started to sing, I was hooked. Absolutely amazing. I really hope Florence has seen this/heard about this tribute.

Nice Cover from the Chor.Still Listen to 2023**🦋💙🏵️Thanks.Merci.**

There was a while where I would listen to this every night before going to bed. I think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

I've taught myself how to play guitar and piano and I'd like to make music, but I never got a foundation in singing and I wish I could've done something like choir or glee club. My voice is decent, but I'm not confident because I never got any formal training. Literally everything I know about music I've basically taught myself and I feel like I missed out on a lot growing up. Participating in something like Capital Children's Choir would've been awesome.

First Girl has a voice like an angel

My Lord....Never thought I'd see the day that someone covered a Florence and the Machine song and actually do a great job..... Love this cover. Very talented group of young men and women. Keep it up.

Honestly all I was thinking about was how that's a lot of headphones like dammm

I do wonder why someone who clicked a link called "choral tribute" would dislike this. As far as choral tributes go, this is as good as it gets. Wonderful vocals, gorgeous instrumentation, perfect arrangement and absolutely world class production at Abbey Road none less. Well done all involved!

CAN I LIKE THIS A MILLION TIMES?! Please RU-vid!

My son is one the drummers. Cry every time I hear it

This boy singing solo in the beginning is amazing! His tone and pitch is fabulous! All of them are wonderful.

I was listening to this at my work and my boss said to "turn that garbage down". I work at a convenience store I have never complained once about his Bollywood crap. I know good music when I hear it and this is good music. Please don't stop the covers. I would love to hear these angles do a take of The Sound of Silence.

Those that disliked this have no clue what pure heaven sounds like!

Hard to believe it's just children singing. This sounds like a professional-grade choir. Excellent job on all their parts!

This is a beautiful arrangement. I'm like blown away by how good this is...

im sure this is how heaven sounds like

Hats off to the one who gathered all those children and organized them. Hats off to you, sire or mam

Since 8 years I carry this version of the song in my head. I searched multiple times for hours, however the lyrics was so different in my head so I could not find it. Until yesterday, when I found the original in spotify just randomly. I recognized the rythm and parts/the sound of the lyrics. I cried tears of happiness 😭😭😍😍☺️☺️

I love Florence + the Machine it's one of my all time favorite groups. I love this song, I got cold chills hearing the voices of the young people. Florence has such a great and unique voice and to be able to sing her song and totally make it sound so great is so amazing! They all have beautiful voice keep singing let your voices be heard as much as you can! Love this just love it!

what a voice when he starts to sing, I simply cry Go your way, you're something specia

I love how all the kids are bobbing along to the music

Blown away by how beautiful this is ❤

Holy sh*t! I feel in the heaven..! Just amazing!

ese kids music teacher.....take a bow...... and then take another. every time I listen to this i remember why I teachers are the bomb

My Musical director/Acting coach always said it's amazing to see children singing and having fun than children doing drugs to have fun.

I wish the boy at the beggining had his own channel, cover, anything. He is UNBELIVEABLE. If you read this you cute, little man: I love your voice, and I'm wainting for your own music

Amazing ...when angels decide to sing ...

I can not believe how anyone on earth can dislike this. Amazing work!

It keeps getting better!

I've watched this video so many time and I always get goosebumps.

I'm so impressed by Your voices... I keep on replaying this video, and every single time I have tears in my eyes. At this point of my life this performance means a world to me. Thank You.

I love the song, the choir, and the spiritual message in the lyrics :D. Beautiful!

That little boy is just too precious.

STILL watching this video. One of the best covers ever!

sorry i know it was probably mentioned before but fuck Glee those kids are the real thing. Amazing.

wOw.....O.o.....that boy got a voice of an ANGEL ;)

Seriously, people, we all need to sign a petition asking Flo and CCC to record a version of this together. It's gonna be LEGEN-can't wait for it-DARY..

Never gets old.

This is amazing OMG. Florence Welch must had been so happy watching this :)))

THEY ARE ALL PERFECTION

I really like this song and I really like the unique voice of Florence Welch.... ...but this kids are doing a very great job... my respect...!

My little brother sent this to me in a message, he knows how much I love choral videos. Gave me chills. Made me smile from ear to ear. And even cry tears of joy. What a great way to start my day. You guys, are absolutely amazing. Unbelievable. ♥

ive been listening to this cover every day and its always stuck in my head

This is one of the best performances I've ever seen/heard.

I am literally in tears. Goosebumps all over my body.

chills every time. who’s watching in 2019?

Wow. Just wow. Awesome. Truly amazing.

Goosebumps

This is still my favorite version of this song. Can't believe I've been listening to it for 5 years now. Probably will never stop listening to it. So beautiful and emotional and, really, every thing I want from music.

So pure, so beautiful. Wow😍

This is truly amazing!

Absolutely beautiful :')

Awesome.. love from India to all these children !!

Tyler Oakley brought me here and so glad he did! These children are amazing especially this flawless cover!!
