PS22 Chorus "LISZTOMANIA" Phoenix 

"We all had tears in our eyes when we watched it." -Thomas Mars of Pheonix on this video

I see myself!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh the memories.... I'm really singing along to this song I still remember most of the lyrics... Now I'm a senior in highschool... Was I really this small back then? Hahahahhaha

I love the fact that these children look so relaxed, confident and at ease. They're openly expressing themselves and having fun - this must be doing absolute wonders for their self-esteem. What an excellent project.

They’re 22-23 now😭

Here in 2024. I’ll be back in a few years and I’ll update this again. May God bless all these kids and the teacher. Moments like this make me love humanity.

Watching this for the first time in 2022 and looking at all the comments from 12 years ago fills me with a certain indescribable emotion. Like even though I missed out on this moment initially, the energy is still presence and tangible all these years later. I have a feeling that if I had seen this years ago while in middle school transitioning into high school, this would’ve had a direct impact on the trajectory of my life. Im grateful for where I am now, but this video makes me daydream about where I could be.

This is one of the greatest musical interpretations ever. There is something so pure about this - it needs to be preserved forever

2024 - i still regularly return to this piece of heaven

The Creators Project:" How did you guys feel when your first saw that?" Laurent Brancowitz (Phoenix):"Oh we were very....we cried." Christian Mazzalai (Phoenix): "It was very emotional."

8 yrs later im still for the purity of this choir

omg i see me in the back i remember these daysss haha such a throw back 😩😭😭😻💔

There’s just something about these kids singing this specific song together. The atmosphere, diversity, and vibe seems perfect 🌟

this is gonna make my 20 year old self go join choir again. it was everything to me. you can absolutely see it in their faces. i hope they are all still singing and pursuing music. i know i am.

It moved me to tears too. I wish we could sing our hearts out too no matter what. I wish happiness to all the world. From Argentina, from my heart. God bless. I love you. All of you.

this is, without equivocation or exaggeration, the most amazing thing i have ever seen or heard in my entire life

Saw a clip of this on a Phoenix documentary. It blew me away.

I love how much the kids get into it!, so passionate, nice feelgood piece to start the working day

I love that they all look like they're having a great time. This is amazing.

Im litterally getting more chills than I've ever gotten in my life. This is so good. So powerful

I keep replaying this video, I really wish I had a music teacher like you when I was in grade school. I mean I always loved music but if we sang songs like this I think it would have made a bigger impact on me. If everyone in the world were connected to music like these kids are the world would be a better place. People need to realize the kind of power music really has.

I found this video back in 2010, and I've always remembered it from 13 years go. I felt everything again rewatching it. I wonder how these kids are today.

I know that this video is 13 years old but in my mind they are all still kids and i hope they are still happy and full of joy 🥹

I am 28, been singing in choir my whole life, I will never stop, Its moments like these that prove that the world CAN change for the better, we can raise our kin into a healthy world, Music is the Key, For our Lord Sake Music is the key to a rich life. You are all beautiful.

love the energy of the kids. it's a drag watching some emotionless choirs. this one is awesome.

This is my favourite RU-vid video. And I know a lot of "that kind of stuff" these days.. I watch it everyday and each time the song and the little personalities give me shivers. I'm a teacher myself (arts and English in Germany) You guys are the best!

Who's Still watching in 2023? Always finding my way back to this one❤

i am bawling thinking about the kids that are now adults who can come back to this video and witness this amazing moment of life, sharing and pure beauty

All of these kids are seniors in high school. Wow.

Gives me chills!

When I need to feel emotion that is evoked by music. I find my way to this video. Everyone in this, the diversity, the range it displays. It makes me feel like the world is okay. Despite the ugly that goes on. I’m reminded beautiful things like this exist & I cry every time. Just a little bit. Just enough to let out a few tears, but I feel it. The moment is there. I can hold it.

wow. this was a safe space for these kids. one of the best songs ever, sung so passionately 😭. why am i crying

i love seeing the passion in each of these kids' eyes as they are singing. SO INSPIRING and SO MOVING!

One of the most beautiful songs ever, and this chorus makes it x100 times better!

The power of music is amazing.

Just seen this reposted on tik tok! I cant believe these kids are like my age now. Hope you all are still singing❤️

I fell in love with choir all 4 years of HS and I still do. I can’t believe how much time is passing 😭😩😭💕💜 we were so little, and I honestly miss how simple life was and how we played outside, how we dressed, how we looked, the energy we had.. I’m 27 and I’m grateful for who I am becoming.❤️ we’ve all come a long way and our out here navigating through life.

Stumbling onto this beautiful masterpiece… brings just a wave of ease listening to this.

I watch this video at least once a year. In a perfect world I would love to see all of you come together and sing this song again. All the super heros assemble! Love from overseas.

i sob every time i watch this. so beautiful my heart feels full

this video is so beautiful makes me tear up everytime something about kids and their beautiful souls and them reminding me of myself. plus these kids all are so invested and involved it’s beautiful to see. video made me want to become a music teacher. thank you for sharing.

This literally makes my day everytime I watch it. Goosebumps. So much love. Keep it up.

I'm just blown away, I really am. I'm about to cry. This was amazing. Every single one of those kids is a rockstar and I hope one day they get to change the world like they just did to mine.

HOW DO 61 PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS???? This is what education is about! This is music. This teacher and his children created something special. Watch the passion in the children's eyes. You can't t tell me you don't like this..

This is aaaaaaaammmaaaa---ziiiiiiiiiing!! I love how enthusiastic all the children look and it seems like they really love what they are doing, not just having to do it. I can't help listening to it again and again and again! Never gets old, beautifully sung and just shows that someone out there believes in the future :D LOVE IT SO MUUCHHHH :D

this video always brings tears to my eyes, choir is such a beautiful thing and i miss all the years i got to connect with people because of it

amazing, you have created this wonderful space where expression, expressing, vocally, and physically, is the norm, and is the goal... there is not a self conscious kid in the room... this is an amazing feat......you are changing these kid's lives... it's just amazing.. these kids will be the next generation of our cultural creativity.... thanks again... all of you

what amazing kids... and what an AMAZING teacher. it's teachers like this that make all the difference. that was beautiful.

Still one of my absolute favourite covers, such a precious performance 💖

All I could do was cry with tears of joys!!! . Greatness !!!!!

this is one of my favorite videos of all time

Always thought I was the biggest fan of Phoenix growing up so I can't believe I've never heard this. Awesome!

So sentimental Not sentimental, no Romantic not disgusting yet Darling, I'm down and lonely When with the fortunate only I've been looking for something else Do let, do let, do let Jugulate, do let, do Let's go slowly, discouraged Distant from other interests On your favorite weekend ending This love's for gentlemen only That's with the fortunate only No, I gotta be someone else These days it comes, it comes, it comes It comes, it comes and goes Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a riot, like a riot, oh Not easily offended Not hard to let it go From a mess to the masses Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a riot, like a riot, oh Not easily offended Not hard to let it go From a mess to the masses Follow, misguide, stand still Disgust, discourage On this precious weekend ending This love's for gentlemen only Wealthiest gentlemen only And now that you're lonely Do let, do let, do let Jugulate, do let, do Let's go slowly, discouraged We'll burn the pictures instead When it's all over, we can barely discuss For one minute only Not with the fortunate only Thought it could have been something else These days it comes, it comes, it comes It comes, it comes and goes Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a riot, like a riot, oh Not easily offended Not hard to let it go From a mess to the masses Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a riot, like a riot, oh Not easily offended Not hard to let it go From a mess to the masses Ooh This is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime Ooh This is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime Time, time to show it off, time to show it off It's time to show it off Time, time to show it off, time to show it off It's time to show it off From the mess to the masses Lisztomania Think less but see it grow Like a riot, like a riot, oh Disgust, disgust, disgust Disgust, disgust, discouraged

was reading the blog that some of these kids are from rough families, no wonder they have such old souls, it comes out in the music, the audience can feel the emotions they are expressing, it's very sweet and beautiful they have innocent voices yet sing with such remarkable maturity, you can tell the kids love Mr. B and Mr, B loves them, what a great teacher!!!what amazing kids!!!!

There’s just something about when kids sing together, it sounds so beautiful, and to see them get really into the song. It’s just so beautiful, THIS WAS 12 years ago!! Amazing this was really good. I came across it on TikTok.

That harmony on "goes" at 0:57-1:02 hits hard.

this made me tear up a bit thats really cool you can tell the kids are having a blast

this needs to be on spotify idc how but it needs to be and they all need to be paid for it, someone, somewhere please make it happen, I know you can

This would have been a perfect alternative bridge for Pheonix's original song ! ! !

I truly love this video and how he cares for his student.

Seven years since first seeing this - still goosebumps every time. Bravo guys!

Crazy that all these kids are grown adults now. I hope all of them are doing well. 🫶

Extra-special shout-out to the kid in black with black hair (whenever the camera pans to the right). All these young people are great but that kid is truly in the zone! I love it!

These kids are so amazing! I have tears in my eyes, and their performance of this song gives me chills every time I listen to it.

I looove how each and everyone of them are so into it

11 anos atrás eu me emocionava com esse vídeo e em pleno 2021 ele ainda me causa a mesma emoção.

I’ve watched this video for 13 years now. Never gets old. Those harmonies 🥹

I remember I used to be in chorus it what so Fun!!! But they just made it better by adding phoenix tunes to it

makes me cry every single time

Still gives me goosebumps. Oh, and wet eyes too.

this is so humanly raw and beautiful

OMG! I have goosebumps, this little kids are... i haven't words to describe them. They're absolutelly talented, I wish all the little kids will be like them :). By the way this is my favourite song by Phoenix, now it has a new meaning for me :). Thank you so much for sharing this with us :)

This makes me cry everytime I watch it.

hope these kids are all doing good

I wish I had a music teacher like this when I was in school. Seeing pretty much every kid in the video put emotion into the songs / be passionate about what they're singing is incredible. They sound great as well, finding music they truly enjoy makes it that much better.

just came around youtube to listen lisztomania .I didn't expect this .it's beyond believe .

These renditions are truly exceptional. Such a perfect blend of joy and musical quality.

Whoever you are, you leading this chorus, you are a true inspiration. I wish I had music instructors like you in my life. There is so much heart and joy in this chorus and their performances. These kids are going to be affected in a big way by your work with them. It gives me such hope to see people like you are doing what you do. I hope there are many, many more.

Tears in my eyes... this is a beautiful example of the talent our children possess and are pushing us to let them show, if only we'll give them a chance.

beautiful gave me chills

music changing life’s as always

These kids have more direction and soul than 95% of adults in this world...thank you for your inspiration!

This gives me goosebumps and watery eyes, every time.

This clip was sampled in the artist Mallrat's 'Suprise me' ft Azealia Banks. So amazing I wonder if these kids know how far their voices reached ❤️

To all the kids who made my day with this track. I will make sure that everyone I know, knows how great you are. Thank you. Love to you and your families. Keep it up.

Wish I had that teacher

my jaw dropped the first time i saw this. then i watched it five more times and couldn't stop smiling. this is amazing. both the kids and the director are so enthusiastic, it's awesome.

plant brought me here 🌱!

This is beautiful. May the force be with each and everyone of them

This will be a great generation. Gracias!!!

Just ah see the pure joy and vibes from teacher to student keep the passion burning

"I LOOVE MY CHORUS" *dancing*

Oh the harmony alone is enough to give me goosebumps. Added to the fact that I love, love, LOVE, chorus AND phoenix!

Better than the original with respect

when i 1st saw this which was earlier today..i was shocked to learnt hat some of these kids come from broken homes and rough neighborhoods...which goes to show you that when you caome from a hard place...or when you go through hard times...that's when God can allow for your BEST works to come forth..these kids are going to be somethin amazing in life..can't wait to sit back and see what that will be...

Kanye gotta sample this

its 2024, my middle school music teacher showed me this video back in 2012. im 22 now and i loveee this video. makes me cry

who here after seeing artifaxing post on instagram

Who is here from watching Mallrat talk about how she produced her track "surprise me" and how she sampled this choir for the song? Anyway I have chills

this really made me think of how crappy life really is and how precious things are and how things should be. gah. :/ fml.

God Bless you brother ... You and your kids are an encouragement. I will start teaching the way you do man... for the kids.
