My community choir, the Heritage Chorale of Lancaster (PA) is doing this for our spring line up. We went through it for the first time last night and most of us teared up. Absolutely beautiful piece!

I lost my husband 6.5 years ago. He died suddenly in my arms on our bed. Beautiful! My voice teacher shared this with me today

Нет ничего лучше живых людей и тёплого человеческого общения.мне это зрелище показалось жутким и стало страшно

Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Sublime. I am grateful to live in a world where such gorgeous music exists. Thank you Eric Whitacre.

After listening to this, and wiping away the tears, the key to Peace on Earth...Has to be Music!!!!

Doesn't sound like 17 thousand people. Sounds like a normal large choir, and you just put the best voices in the audio while adding all the video of the people. Hell, I wouldn't even put it past lazy humans to just do 1000 people, and duplicate it 17 times.

wow 😶 So does he have any other stuff this good, or is the rest of his music just slow choiral stuff?

Learning this song really helped me improve my singing and learn to relax when singing/ reduce strain.

Heart to Heart. . . . We are All One. . . . Thank you!

We just don't deserve this guy. The way the resolution of those long-held note in the chords in the beginning feels cold and apprehensive and then it's kind of the same situation paralleled at the end except it feels warm and safe

I love this song, and I know there was zero rehearsal, but it irritates me to no end how spread that vowel is on the word “one”. It’s like listening to a toddler screaming.

This is so heavenly......very angelic and soothing. Definitely resonates and stirs my soul.

I was in this 💖☺️

I come back to this song often and was so honored to be a part of it! I found out about it thanks to another member of my chorus. Several of us submitted our contribution to this.

Makes me think of the Rapture

I'm really soaking in this song tonight on the eve of a scary election loaded with crazy people who are ready to fight. I needed this before bed to settle my mind.

Moment of Zen. Desperately needed in our dangerous times. Thank you, Eric, and singers.

Beautiful

I love this so much

What platform was used for this, I can’t even get our 3 person choir to be in sync

My choir teacher showed my class this video, Still get chills till this day

What a blessing! i am revived and inspired every time i listen, ( first few times- i wept) thank you to all who made this magical choir music a precious gift for the world

2024, anyone? ❤

This piece never fails to make me cry... Not only is it absolutely beautiful on it's own, but thinking back to the time where COVID cause the biggest isolation most of us have ever felt and then be connected by music by participating in this project... No matter how cruel this world is, whenever I listen and watch, I think that humanity can actually be really sweet sometimes... And these little moments of togetherness are what makes life worth living.

Why is this in MONO?

Can anybody tell me or describe how the mood the video brought up as you listen with your eyes closed the first time in 3 sentences

Sang this with a collab of school choirs live with Eric Whitaker conducting, one of my best memories

Anyone in 2024?

I just hope that I get to perform this song with one of my bands someday. Someday.

Who else is here for choir right now? We are doing this right now :)

Epic Sound and chorous. ❤ that song let me cry any time😢. Its so emotional. We will play it at the funeral of our beloved mum. 🎼she died at 20.09.24. Thank you so much for this masterpiece. 🫶 God bless you all! 🥀🍀🫶 Patti 🥹

I was fortunate to be a part of this, myself and about 17,000 other singers submitted our videos during Covid when it was unsafe to sing with our own choirs and chorales. Being able to participate and sing this beautiful music was a blessing. I am grateful.

I saw a post from Eric Whitaker and I had to come back to see this, after 14 years. I remember when I first heard this when I was 12/13 entering high school. Since that day the musical and personal growth/ opportunity has been insane. And since that day I've done exactly what the song says. Just fly. Later on, Jacob collier took my attention 😂 this masterpiece will always have my heart though. ❤

I am so humbly proud of being part of this beautiful piece we sang in the darkness of COVID-19 pandemic, bringing some joy through difficult times. Thank you, Eric Whitacre, for this wonderful experience!

We played this song as the visitors left my mom’s funeral a little over a year ago. She was an organist for over 50 years in the church where her funeral was held. I know she enjoyed the harmonies of this song and was smiling as all of her friends walked out of the church. She was a force and I miss her every day. ❤️

The one and only Jim Davis is in the tenor section and no I didn’t draw Garfield. 😂

Every single time I watch and listen to this video I can't help but get choked up and shed a few tears knowing and seeing all the people in the skyscraper windows who sang together. This is what I believe all those millions/billions in heaven will sound like singing at God's throne! If this doesn't move you to believing in Him then you need to get down on your knees and pray to be permitted to hear such a wonderous choir after you die. Fly to Paradise it the perfect title for it!

I was here 10 years ago - and here I am again. This song was and still is legendary. This track inspired me a whole lot on music production. Such an amazing production.

Separated by covid in 2020, united as one. Man it's 2024, 4 years ago and this is timeless to prove we can all be one in harmony 🙏🏼

En el año 2020 con el inicio de la pandemia fui operada de Cancer de mama.No fue hasta un mes despues, que un amigo me envia para el dia del amigo este hermoso coro que escuche de madrugada y llore por todo lo que no pude llorar desde el diagnostico.Cada vez que lo escucho siento que me dejo llevar por una luz inmensa que me apaña y protege.Hoy sigo de pie, agradecida a la Vida y atodos lo que de alguna forma me acompañaron

The best recording of this I have heard - just beautiful. Thank you

Put this on a gold record and leave it in a vault so that in the far distant future when someone or something finds we can say with pride "THIS is who we were. Despite everything we did, THIS IS WHO WE WERE AND WHAT WE COULD DO TOGETHER". If this is the only thing we leave behind, we can be proud and hold our heads up and stare the universe down.

AI recommended this for my "Religion and Culture Studies" class REL2300 - World Religion - as background music when I asked it. And it is a great suggestion and great study music for it.

This video kept my heart whole and healthy during the pandemic when I first found it. Today its beauty comforts me during this election chaos. You cannot imagine how your work moves those of us who have found this incredible video. Thank you again for creating such a balm for my soul.

I loved being a part of this wonderful project. Truly showed us unity in hard times during Covid
