Hope Lingers Here (World Premiere) - Vancouver Youth Choir Voices 

What a beautiful performance, I am so incredibly honored to hear your gorgeous voices singing my song!!!!!!

I got to perform this under Andrea Ramsey as my director, and it was a magical experience. Now, I will sing this to myself amidst all that’s going on and feel a little bit better.

My mother, when love is gone, my mother, when love is gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. My father, when peace is gone, my father, when peace is gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. CHORUS: I will not hate, and I will not fear. In our darkest hour, hope lingers here. My sister, when equality’s gone, my sister, when equality’s gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. My brother, with tolerance gone, with tolerance gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. CHORUS: I will not hate, and I will not fear. In our darkest hour, hope lingers here. My love, when honor is gone, my love, when honor is gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. My country, when justice is gone, my country, when justice is gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. CHORUS: I will not hate, and I will not fear. In our darkest hour, hope lingers here. I will not hate, and I will not fear. In our darkest hour, hope lingers here.

A song for our times. I loved this performance when I heard it live. Now, in the context of the COVID pandemic it has taken on another layer of meaning. Never again will I take for granted the freedom to sing with others or to assemble with others to enjoy a concert. Beautiful performance, VYC Voices.

A great song by a wonderful musician done in lovingly, joyfully!

In our current context there are so many circumstances that rob us of hope. I first heard this song sung by another choir at a concert and I found this on RU-vid. What an incredible version of this amazing song! I keep coming back to listen to this whenever I feel hope fading. Thank you all for this work of art!!

I have watched this probably 5 times now. This is such a good choir! You guys have gorgeous voices and amazing talent! Never give it up!

I’m gonna sing this song for my concert tomorrow I’m nervous😊

No one is here from TMEA?

This makes me so happy.

I cannot explain the emotions that flooded must soul yet provided me a sense of peace. To have experience d loss of a loved one with COVID-19 you reminders me of the hope I have in Gos and not man. Truly a rinsing-of-the mind rendition. Kudos!

Wow. What wonderfully moving lyrics matched only by an equally wonderful performance! Thank you for bestowing such beauty in this dark time. A truly heavenly sound from such gifted and musical kids. Wow.

It was a privilege to hear that! SO GOOD!

the youth of *any* country but Canada stomping their feet singing "my country" would be scary (regardless of words...) - but it IS Canada, and having the privilege of living there briefly, I know the people are lovely and do stand for justice & hope - - the words are _my country, when justice is gone, my country, when justice is gone, in our darkest hour hope lingers on. I will not hate, and I will not fear. In our darkest hour, hope lingers here_ - LOVE this version - *thank you* - hope we can do it justice here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. 💚🌍🌎🌏💚

I love the high voices of the crowd of people

preforming this for my choir concert next week, so excited to hear how everything sounds with the high school (especially the body precision)

I just know from how they preformed this that most of them got chills mid preformance

Beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
