I came from tik tok and I’m so glad I got to listen to this whole piece everyone did so amazing and all the voices complimented one another

[@finchsktch17]

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful pieces of music ive heard in ages. Yall did fantastic and i had chills the whole time. Every voice was unique and just as incredible as the last. Yeesh

[@toasterpoptarts5759]

this ✨

[@sashasux1133]

the fact that they’re all 18 or younger is MINDBLOWING. actually unreal. i cannot get over it.

[@neveerland]

The kid at 4:09 is phenomenal. That clear of a tone despite the high notes is so hard to achieve. So good!

[@jenosleftshoulder]

[@wjjam4416]

Singer at 3:45 has the smoothest floatiest tone I’ve ever heard. Such a beautiful compliment to the arrangement. Aaahh!! So good

[@user-hd8xc5um7u]

no seriously! she completely makes the video for me

[@michaelcorsi317]

Holy Bass Notes!! 😭 it is incredibly hard for a bass to not only keep the beat flowing perfectly the whole time, but to also switch up to beatboxing and be heard!! He did a FANTASTIC job!!

[@_jackthebass]

thank you so much!

[@jenosleftshoulder]

i feel like this might be the best acapella group ive ever listened to

[@clairelesperance1689]

[@thats.amorev]

I am going to single handedly be the reason this has thousands of views, I cannot stop. Please RECORD THIS.

[@clifftonl-vuitton2770]

Pirate Radio made me fall in love with this Jean Dawson album, it’s one of the most beautiful folk songs I’ve ever heard. This is one of the most beautiful vocal arrangements I have heard in my life. You guys are extremely skilled singers and most importantly, you sound beautiful together 🤍

[@amayas570]

4:09 - 4:30 This part is so so good 😭😭🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@RomanNewhouse]

[@billybaecyrus]

[@raemakenzie]

[@_jackthebass]

[@ssscout]

[@maryheatherjingco9380]

I need this on Spotify so badly 😭😭

[@daltonotoole]

I don’t think I’ve ever missed choir and singing more than I have while listening to this.

[@JiujitsuFIIT]

One million percent. Wish I could go back 20 years and do it all over agakn

[@BearKiddo]

4:10 i think i have a crush on this man?

[@illprincess95]

Saw this on Insta and had to come see the full thing! Great job guys!!

[@eleanorb3435]

Singer at 3:15 is absolutely mesmerising! Gave me chills!

[@bellarenee7331]

love her!

[@LCL-fw5fz]

She’s my fave!

[@MikeJFarina]

Pink Dress slayed so hard.

[@U2Fanatic08]

She is SO GOOD. Incredible control and expression and agility. There are not many people in the world who can do that.

[@ammy2088]

Saw this on instagram and ran to listen to the full thing

[@Someonedb43]

How how yall just break me leave me here in shambles and then end with that harmonic dissonance messin w my mind im crying going to watch this again now

[@stephenholt6956]

Finally listened to this with good headphones and the bass was doing absolute WORK

[@_jackthebass]

thank you:)

[@stephenholt6956]

@@_jackthebass So glad you saw this, you mix so well in the group it's hard to hear exactly how much you're doing without headphones or decent speakers. Really impressive work

[@mitziwilliams9284]

I have not stopped listening to this since I discovered it 24 hours ago and I’m also now obsessed with Jean Dawson Edit: love the coffinnNnNnNNNnnn And the bass itches my brain

[@olivejane7084]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one

[@Kanyeleaks911]

yall were sleeping on jean dawson quit playinh

[@genki_walflower]

Came from TikTok, absolutely blown away by the work put into this piece!

[@actuallyalec]

BASS NOTE AT 1:30 UGH SO GOOD

[@paulwhetstone0473]

Unbelievable that these singers are 18 and under. I really enjoyed the vocal textures but I have no idea what the song was about.

[@sashasux1133]

WHAT???? THESE ARE ALL TEENAGERS????? I have no words…..unbelievable WOW

[@redwoodsplural]

Bon Iver is like that, meaning is there but more poetry than direct narrative

[@cymoner9148]

I can from TikTok, when I tell you my ears haven’t been this blessed in a while this is so beautiful

[@elledowling7126]

what i wouldn’t do to have this on spotify

[@JTP_22]

Came from TT like many others… have listened to a lot of a cappella and this is without question the best I’ve ever heard. One of the few that could stand on its own and not just “that’s great for being a capella” Such a fuckin clever mashup of two brilliant artists too. Damn.

[@kateliu5476]

need on spotify oh my god

[@mickey.e.7990]

dude im sobbing i cannot stop listening to this GIRL IN THE LIGHT BLUE ATE YALL ARE SO TALENTED

[@U2Fanatic08]

Her TONE is ~mind-blowing~, holy crap. SO GOOD. I want to listen to her sing…everything ever made?

[@martymcfywilliams5725]

the ending is so amazing… being able to hear everyone individually just absolutely going off and still sounding so cohesive. insane. chills every time, seriously.

[@maytacohen_music]

Such a privilege getting to co-arrange this! Love my CITS so much

[@jasejolley1079]

Can we get some sheets?? 👀

[@kaycobbins8324]

You’re a fuckung genius homie

[@abc-xf9jg]

Oh my gosh, you did a flipping incredible job!! Who did you co-arrange with? If you guys release sheet music, I'm sure I won't be the only one wanting to check it out!!

[@martymcfywilliams5725]

are you in the pink dress???? if so, your voice in so insane… so warm and soulful and dynamic

[@U2Fanatic08]

You *crushed* this. Well done.

[@grimwzl7462]

Gave me chills, really inspirational, can only hope to become as good as you guys at singing

[@danielleblumenthal1846]

Robbie slayed

[@U2Fanatic08]

I hope everyone in this video is supremely proud of themselves for being a part of this absolutely immaculate performance. Every single person was integral to the beauty of this song and they all crushed it. I realize this was for a special program or camp or something but I’d love to see this specific group of people do more together. Also there are multiple obvious ringers in this group who could easily have quite good solo careers if they wanted. Just…wow.

[@Ty.Willy123]

I haven’t heard harmonies this beautiful and perfect in years. Thank you for blessing my ears 😂🥹

[@olivejane7084]

I can’t even begin to describe how this makes me feel, it’s so insanely beautiful

[@Rroc13]

A lot of talent!

[@billymorrissey6167]

This needs to be a full piece (just the Pirate Radio stuff) better than anything ive heard in YEARS.

[@leahrachelle.]

i would pay so much for the sheet music of this 🥺🥺 it’s beautiful

[@b1x.l0w]

robbie ate

[@sumianae18]

NEED this on spotify🙏🏽

[@dystrakshyn4627]

Saw this on tiktok and it put me on to Jean Dawson. What beautiful souls, everyone!

[@eifsam]

Words cannot describe just how much I love this piece. All of their voices work together so well and THAT CHORD PROGRESSION. I get physical goosebumps every time I watch it (which is very frequently)

[@maryheatherjingco9380]

Wow the amount of talent from every person performing! So much goosebumps!!!

[@septem1528]

You all have reignited my love for acapella songs and covers. The passion and synchronization of the singers is captivating. I am so glad you popped up in my Instagram feed!!

[@Rroc13]

3:30 her goosebumps... YEAH!

[@hyunsoo_zx2747]

Sharing smoke In the stair up off the hot car lot Sun shine hard on the video spot, hm, mm, mm Sure as any living dream It's not all then what it seems And the whole thing's hauled away A womb, an empty robe, enough You're rolling up, you're holding it, you're fabric now Para-mind, para-mind Hallucinating Claire Nor the snow shoe light or the autumns Now could you be a friend (- a multitude of others) Come and kiss me here again A womb, an empty robe, enough You're rolling up, you're holding it, you're bent prize Canonize, canonize Motor up and yeah, you're own, ooh And yeah, your own, your own --- I was drowning, drowning, drowning in the open No grip on the shore Solid turn water when you hold it Out your fist, it pours Pull up, nobody panic Why did you vanish?

[@katiemaunder6360]

[@sarahtonin8640]

This was absolutely stunning, a total earworm for me recently, I so desperately want an adult version of this academy agh Lovely job!

[@heather4506]

[@raemakenzie]

Need this injected into my bloodstream please and thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾 been listening to this on repeat for about a week now, and it's not stopping anytime soon

[@canoonnize]

[@jonyawt7995]

[@director_menace]

The harmony is just beyond this dimension

[@kaybeebiz]

[@canoonnize]

ive been listening to this over and over for two hours bc i want to be a part of something like this so badly. i think ill be too old by next summer tho :(

[@raemakenzie]

No cause I checked auditions and realized I was about 5 years too late😭

[@canoonnize]

@@raemakenzie omg im sorry for the late reply 😭 but i thought about emailing them to ask bc im 18 rn but i turn 19 in april... but then i also thought about the fact that my voice isnt what it used to be from smoking so much weed for about year and also vaping in the past (+ i havent been in choir classes or singing as regularly for almost a year now too) so i probably wouldnt get in despite the fact i would literally die to 🙁💔

[@alexismuetzel]

3:41 am I the only one who thinks she sounds like Mandy Moore? So beautiful ❤

[@Not._par1ss]

Seriously I came here from the ad on instagram and it’s actually my favorite ad right now on ig along with the original song..and omgggg the girls at 3:15 to 4:06 woooo I loved their voices😩.I basically loved this whole video.

[@chaowrld]

[@Sophiek201]

I keep coming back to this piece. It is so beautiful. We need to hear more of these great voices.

[@hyunsoo_zx2747]

2:30 the effect of moving the mic away is so so neat. one of my favorite parts

[@sashasux1133]

words escape me for what this made me feel…. if i were to try-in awe. amazed. dazzled. captivated. this took me to another universe. i have never heard something more beautiful in my life. each voice was perfect-a word i use very sparingly.
