Tell you guys an amazing SJB story , 6 years ago my sister passed , as kids we all loved the Beach Boys , we went to a Beach Boys concert when we were kids , our fave song was SJB , after she passed away I was taking a lot of her things to friends in Vancouver , driving along about 1630 with the radio on , alone in the car I asked her to play SJB , as God is my witness seconds later it came on the radio , love you Carey , Rest in Peace .
Sometimes the people we love who have left us send us a message when we need it most. I lost my sister 6 years ago myself to cancer so I understand. I'm happy you got your sister's message.
I also have been a fan of the beach boys since the early 60s and have listened to many covers and I must say this is one of the best covers of this song I've heard keep up with the good work
@@LosRiosRockSchool It's from the bottom od my heart. Beleive me, I'm 55 and all my life listen all kinds od music. Be the first person who would tell you that it was mistake with this masterpeace. So, you did a great Job and, please, go on. You have resorces to do that! Best regards, Bojan!
@ellesanders9695 The singer properly understands that the grandchild character is enduring crappy circumstances ... not overcoming them. She pulled it off beautifully. She also gets that she should not be trying to show off her voice range or be decorative. She instead maintains a minimalist simple flat tone which hits the target. Also allows us to better enjoy the harmonies and layers of the talented choir and instruments. She avoids trying to be the center of attention ... and this ironically creates a performance in which she is memorable. Thumbs up to the arranger and conductor and mixer. Camera work turned out great. Congratulations to everyone involved for your superb teamwork and for building your catchy remarkable treatment of a classic song.
It's so awesome that the younger generation is playing music that our generation listened to growing up. You guys did an awesome job. Thanks for posting
What an interesting talented singer this girl is, doesn't need any gimmicks to make her look like a talent, she radiates it and proves it. Her and the musicians made this song better than any others ,hope to see more.
Sloop John B is one of those songs that seems to resonate with each generation and is timeless. It's also a song that can be interpreted in different ways (compare the Kingston Trio with the Beach Boys). This is a terrific version, wonderfully performed, well done all!
Yeah, I agree with you. There are so many ways that this song can be felt and interpreted. It's almost a standard, one of those songs that an artist must have in their repertoire to perform. Surely a great accolade for the Beach Boys. Above all is the feeling.
@@geejoe4506 Dennis Wilson? Yes, about Dennis, but Dennis wasn't the drummer for the Beach Boys recording sessions. Hal Blaine, member of the Wrecking Crew session musicians, was the drummer on Pet Sounds. The drummer for this cover is great, with the right intensity.
I've watched this video so many times..keep going back to the amazing talent every one of them have, and watching the drummer having so much fun, lead singer nailing the mood and song
That is an awesome job, I just love seeing all the facial expressions as they play their instruments and the back-up vocals sure do add to this song......
Well done. Carol Kaye's bass shines in the original, and here as well. Hal Blaine's drums just perfect. The original was production perfection, and a high standard, and you nailed it. You guys got chops.
So nice to see these kids have such interest in music, and are so talented ! And to get into the old school tunes..loving it, and continue to listen often ! Makes me feel good to see not all kids are just throwing away their years !
I heard this rendition, then heard a studio clip of the behind-the-scenes making of the Beach Boys' version, and then went back and listen to these kids. They knocked it out of the park.
The expression of delight on the face of the bassist as soon as he hears the introduction note on the keyboard (originally the flute) is one reason l keep playing this video over and over again.
Couldn't be more proud of these students. Most notably, no ego in the room. It wasn't about them individually but rather the music they were delivering. And wow...did they deliver!
@@erwinstada1811 It is a girl. In other songs in this same set, she is a backup singer and can be seen wearing a pink dress. If you look closely, you can see she has sparklie makeup on her eye lid.
@@rs_pa A guy can do exactly the same, these days. Little bit confusing, this modern society....In the past, a guy was a guy and a girl was a girl,but nowadays....😵💫👎
I grew up in the 60's(well I never really grew up). When I talk to people who grew up in the 40s and 50s it is like they are a generation or more apart from me. The 60s was a special time with new thinking and awareness. So lucky to have been a piece of that time.
@@johngalt921 No, it is a girl. In other songs in the same set, she is a background singer & she is wearing a pink dress. She also has eye makeup sparklies on her eyes.
Are you serious, these days none of that means anything. That being said the tone of the lead singers voice is mesmerizing and I wish they would have listed the singers name so that we can search for other videos. By far it is the best track on their album.
the story behind the sloop "John B" is tragic. the ship and the crew came to Nassau, got ashore, got drunk, got in a fight, got caught by sherif John Stone, were told to "Git" or spend the night in jail or sail away - even if it blew "half a pelican". They cast off, sailed out and the next day the wreck was found up the coast. No survivors!!
Take 2 Blonde Lady with skin like a baby's but......you only smiled once and it was such a little one. Sloop John B has always been my favvorite Beach Boy song. Pure Americana at its best and these kids know it. I'm up to my 231 listen. I then usually listen to the Korean guys do it with the biggest smiles I've ever seen. I love their accents at the end of lines. Priceless. A universal hit.
Outstanding cover, kids! You did justice to one of my favorite songs ever arranged, and beautifully. Somewhere out there, the Wilson brothers are smiling...
I just LOVE seeing all these pet shop boys! The things we can teach these kids through music is a blessing from God. these intimate moments are precious and numbered. And we learn so much with RU-vid! Keep studying kids and be good, Jesus is watching...same goes for you, Pet Shop Boys
Nice. Very nice. The vocals and harmonies...are exquisite. A hallmark of fantastic musicianship. Wow. Very nice. Very encouraging as well...is the interest in the youth today, in such classic tracks. Nice to see the younger generation appreciate true magic. (The music of today...totally lacks the quality of yesteryear).
I've listened to so many versions of this song, including the original and I think you guys have produced the best version ever made. Not just a little better, but an order of magnitude better than any other version. Amazing! Thank you ❤❤
It is rare a cover is as good or better than the original. Voice is crisp and articulate and music supportive without taking over. It lets me feel good and that lasts hours.
I want to add this. A lot of covers and even re-recording by the original artists attempt to get fancy. Adding flare and emphasis needlessly. A true artist sings simply with feeling and letting their voice tell the story without phrasing emphasis. Even The Beach Boys Found it difficult after their success to simply let the song express itself. This you accomplished. Also, of the voices heard on this tape, the lead singers voice was the best. Solid, unique, and powerful. The kind of voice we had before modern microphones and autotune. Well done and I still listen to this weekly to remind me that talent still exists in this sea of electronic manipulation.
