Word of advice: when you're staying up late to do homework, this is the last thing on youtube you should listen to. Otherwise, it's the first thing on youtube you should listen to.

Agreed

When it's been arranged by Bob and sung by you, you know it's going to be way more than just enjoyable.

@Rainmaker65 Год назад

Bob's arrangement, as performed by KS, and Concordia Choir, are simply elegant. I'm not inferring that this arrangement is any less or more than Concordia's, but if you're anything like Meghan Trainor (All About the Bass - couldn't resist), listen to the ending of this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u15YG2HODOI.html

Beautiful. The KS album version was my intro to the song itself, so, for me, weirdly, U2's version is the cover. Thank you King's Singers, past and present, for this wonderful version of a simple idea.

@KCTrumpeterAPB 3 года назад

Quite frankly, this is how I feel about many of the originals that the KS cover. Well, not necessarily that the original is the "cover," but that it somehow doesn't quite compare to the beauty of their a cappella version. =)

@corneliusneitsch7618 6 лет назад

Superb! Your sound seems younger than ever! I guess there is a time, when you grow old with the sound of the King's Singers, that you - from time to time - are starting to miss something, especially when you listen to long time repertoire songs. I first listened to this song in 1993 on "Good Vibrations" and it still gives me the chills when I hear those bass tones from Stephen Connolly. I miss his volume and range here a little ...

@princessjade100 3 года назад

Excellent observation. I heard this first on "Good Vibrations" as well. After your mentioning about Stephen Connolly's range I listened to it again and you are correct. The bass was more pronounced and SC had warmer tone. I also miss Bob Chilcott's singing the melody (warmer, not as "clean"). This version is well done nonetheless. The King's Singers always put out top notch performances.

@KirkLinnDeGrassi Год назад

In 1997 my senior year of high school I sang the tenor solo it was me as the only tenor against 10 sopranos,10 altos, and 10 Basses and we kept it legato and mezzo piano and good god was there not a dry eye whenever we performed it including at MLK High School in L.A

Fun fact, in the all male choir version, it’s actually the bass 2s who hit the highest falsetto notes

@danielheltberg6202 4 года назад

Yeah I have a friend who is a tenor, and I'm a bass, and we both had to hit the same high note but he couldn't. He explained that it was because he has a shorter distance between his range and falsetto and that makes it harder

Lol the final bass notes were incorrect. Edit: I've just checked the sheet music and actually they weren't, they were just the optional higher version of the final bass and baritone notes which I'm not used to hearing.
