I always tear up with this rendition. We play it to our son everynight and it is soothing,loving,and at the same time so humbling, sad and overwelming..We are always a part of our loved ones. Even when long gone.
2021 and still beautiful. To all those who suffered during these difficult times, either directly due to the pandemic or as collateral to it, I offer all hugs and love and prayers. It may be dark yet but tomorrow will come. Good night my love!
This is probably the most beautiful singing I have heard in my entire, 60 year old life. I am speechless....so perfect, so tender. . you men are heroes. Thank you for this....thank you thank you
Goodnight, my angel Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark And deep inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me Someday we'll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on... They never die That's how you And I Will be
I played this for a 6 year old relative I was babysitting before bed one night and told him these are the King’s singers. Near the end during the tenor solo, he asked me: “Jeff... Is that the queen?” I’ve never laughed harder in my life. Love this song, love the memory it gave me.
I just listened to this one. Now I will listen again. David, David, David... you are the best. You are beyond magic in this one. The whole group of course but still...
I played and studied music seriously for decades, but I've never managed to understand how the final resolution of harmonic singing is so often the purest of the sounds produced. The final chord in this rendition was ... perfect. Save the best till last, hmm?
They key is love. They feel love for every word of the song. They understand the song in its purest form and meaning. Which makes the singing …….. aching with not only love and joy but the sorrow of knowing……. That one day they won’t be there.
It is because the human voice, like a cello, violin, or trombone, can tune much more finely than a mere semitone. Having sung Barbershop Baritone, I can tell you that these guys are each tuning to a 64th of a tone. Honestly, the human ear is not finely enough calibrated to hear the note itself, only the resultant harmonics that only happen when each note is tuned perfectly to the others. The King's Singers are so good at it they don't even think about it. The final chord is that last, perfect resolve every time. A capella music does not fade out. It resolves and stops. What is INCREDIBLE is when a piece is sung in a minor key and only that last final resolve is a major chord. A Tierce de Piccardi will always get attention.
Afinacion a prueba de balas, increible arreglo, gran sonido....eso resume a este, para mi humilde opinion, el mejor grupo vocal de Europa. Saludos desde Uruguay.
Yes it's peculiarly affecting: I'm a tenor in a 12-member SATB choir, and I can usually manage to hold it together for a concert, but frequently choke up when we first rehearse it. Beautiful composition, as is 'And so it goes' by B.J.
I'm a writer and poet, or try to be. God! what would I give to be able to pen such lyrics. It does something indescribable to me so I wont even try to explain it.
I'm in love this Ensemble, I love every single component of it, but expecially Stephen Pharm-Connolly!!! I literally coul listen his deep and warm voice all day long! Please, David Hurley, Robin Tyson, Paul Phoenix, Philip Lawson and Christopher Gabbitas, don't blame on me too much for this!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
One of them (don't know their names, sorry.) looks like Patrick Dempsey to me and one looks like Mr. Bean. They're a great group. I'm so glad I found them. :)
