Earlier this year, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London's famous Porchester Hall. The response from fans was overwhelming and led to two sold-out nights at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles in October, described by Billboard Magazine as "one of the finest and more memorable shows in EDM history."
Above & Beyond partnered with THUMP on the production and filming of the London shows to create a concert film that captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project. The songs performed at Porchester Hall also form the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album, which was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

This song is a symphony of emotions. People who missed their chance to be with their only true love will feel the burn inside, while listening to it.

[@dennisnieves7986]

I burned my chance after 7 years and 2 children.. my heart bleeds and my eyes are never dry..

[@Lennysunday]

Your one true love walks by you every day.

[@davidterrado7932]

Ah such pain. I feel the burn inside.

[@astridb1468]

So true!

[@varunmakhija6939]

The only comment that makes sense . ❤

[@itzmad5543]

8 years and still here...who else?

[@s70driver2005]

I look forward to seeing them in an acoustic setting

[@ruairiabrahams4581]

Vargas' voice is other worldly, sublime

[@seanjon66]

"You live your life just once...so don't forget about a thing called LOVE." Some of the truest words EVER!

[@heywaitMarlee]

I swear, Alex Vargas on this song and "Sun and Moon" and Ashley Tomberlin on "Can't Sleep" off Tri-State can seriously make me curl up and cry like a child. This just broke me down and built me right back up. Never heard A&B acoustic before but my god.....

[@milenamiskovic2846]

Those three songs are the most beautiful.. Can't agree more

[@harleenkaur9084]

It's annie drury actually

[@gialinh7323]

It's 2024 guys, anybody here with me?

[@newunderthesun7353]

Never left...

[@oOcitizenOo]

Came here after watching the full acoustic concert. Fell in love with Alex's voice from the first seconds. What a talent!

[@dragos-lucian]

3:39 Tony is so proud. Perfect everything

[@mugshotesp]

Alex Vargus's voice just gave me some crazy chills. Choosing him for the acoustic album was a great selection. He really brings out the emotion of the lyrics.

[@88omair]

Alex Vargas is a special talent

[@kristitar5293]

Omair Sheikh

[@astridb1468]

Very special. That voice, wow!

[@journeytobevin]

This is richard Bedford actually, not alex :)

[@livelife4soad]

No, Richard sang the original version. The acoustic version is Alex Vargas.

[@glissonj73]

Alex Vargas

[@timothyortiz9922]

It's great to come back to this video 2 years later and see how much more recognition they are getting from new fans.

[@olgaconscience237]

Not surprising at all cause there's so much soul in it, so much love and inspiration

[@ntoxicatedtigah]

Life is made of small moments like these. -A&B You guys have changed my life in such positive ways.

[@aelfredhauscarl]

Your not alone

[@wiratjajadi]

The best song from Above & Beyond imo..It's pure magic!!! 🖤

[@Tiborinho]

This is the anthem of life.

[@BedtimeStoriesPiano]

Absolutely

[@wings8099]

the whole thing is just perfection. everyone in the orchestra is so focused and the vocals are on point. this is why we need art. just wonderful

[@SirHymenBuster]

I didn't think the original could get any better...This is the proper way to add emotion to a song. Very amazing!

[@InHouseStudio]

One of the most beautiful acoustic covers. Alex and Zoe Johnston's voice are so wonderfully emotive.

[@bondiib4823]

I'm someone who listens trance most of the times but I can still appreciate music like this.

[@falatalane]

same here bro :D

[@sasakhalisa6539]

Well, don't be a prisoner of your own style :) Armin said that btw, not me

[@bondiib4823]

***** That's a nice saying :)

[@Aseriesofprimespunctuated]

***** I love when he plays 90s hip hop

[@joshmdmd]

***** FEI-FEI

[@RatzY11]

The instrumentalist at 3:42 seems to shred a tear. I would too mate.

[@halfaworldaway]

"Shred" - sounds macho.

[@MinglingwithAI]

One of the best gems I found while living in Denmark - Alex Vargas. Got the opportunity to see him LIVE, man he is amazing!

[@sandmaxprime]

Absolutely brilliant. The vocals and the instruments just make you want to close your eyes and take in the emotions.

[@jeremystevens2080]

jejeje, really amazing vocal !

[@johnrojas6238]

Absolutely right

[@travislloyd1424]

Alex Vargas one of the best vocalists of our time LOVE IT.

[@Locutus]

No where as good as Justin Bieber, or Kanye West.

[@mikelewis5015]

Omg I’ve been stuck on this song forever. Alex’s voice at around the 3min mark is soo emotional to me. I feel so much with just his voice, no words. What a beautiful voice this man has. He touched my soul and fills me with so much feeling.

[@ShelleyTimm]

There was a time, there was a place But there was fear inside A witty line to save my face A parachute of pride To cross the line takes a tiny step But will the spark cause the bridge to burn My fear entwined with my regret I beat a path for safe return So here we are, we're just the same And you will never know My secret plan, how close we came To share another road And have I lost my only chance To tell you how I feel inside? Is it just me, I'd like to know Or are we all just a little blind? There's a thing called love that we all forget And it's a wasted love that we all regret You live your life just once So don't forget, forget about a thing called LOVE

[@MrLalremruata]

i love you

[@ShelleyTimm]

Lalremruata Khiangte Hahaha, thanks :)

[@moe2543]

thank you 😍

[@moe2543]

thank you 😍

[@perihanahmed8667]

[@jeromeswanson9570]

The Genius that is Above & Beyond is what makes this possible. What other trance musician can do this....

[@M4R1093]

I agree... my favourite artist is Armin, but not even him can do what these three magicians did :)

[@paulv5733]

I think BT started the orchestral compositions with Electronic Opus

[@amehek]

I'm sorry but is no one gonna mention what a fine specimen he is, he's perfect and so is his voice ❤

[@heywaitMarlee]

luna no I fully agree. I think he's so incredibly handsome, plus that voice.....and he seems like he would be such a sweetheart.

[@jolantawrzesinska5442]

I should be sleeping right now... but i cant stop listening his voice...incredible...love it

[@quynhanhhoang5585]

Here is why everyone loves A&B

[@jannetayala1632]

It fits perfectly during these hopeless, tumultuous times 2020. Where people are divided. Humanity has been forgotten.. we forgot the thing called LOVE

[@rochellericafort2442]

Jannet Ayala same feeling with you. So sad but don’t forget about love.

[@Moejoejuju]

Update: add corona

[@maryann3950]

Luckily, love can never be forgotten eternally. Maybe we can forget it temporarily, but it keeps coming back, stronger and purer than it was before. I'm looking forward to this comeback that we're all working on!

[@Vishwarion]

god that voice!

[@nomita238]

when you were just about to open your heart, then you knew is going to nowhere but you still believe....then you broken. His voice is so hypnotize, the lyrics and music just merge...vulnerable in the pouring rain

[@mickwatkins9352]

Still brilliant after all these years of listening

[@soru7891]

The acoustic version is simply the best. This song means a lot to me. It was this song that gave me the strength and courage to ask this girl out and tell her about my feelings for her. Unfortunately she changed her mind and now she ignores me. However I still believe that she will change her mind again - this time for the good of both of us. I would just like to say one big "thank you" to Above & Beyond for making such good and positive music. It sure helps me get through some dark days in my life. But love will be back, someday, anyday, maybe even today :)

[@deshnanayakkara394]

♥♥♥ The best definition of music!

[@vargas-fan935]

I can not understand how such a great talent is not known in the world. Alex Vargas needs a lot more attention ..... he has mine forever.

[@ProgressiveDestination]

I'm crying, i love it !!!

[@giovaniamandasari6457]

I can't even sing along. Alex's voice got me lost into their world. Amazing, amazing

[@harneetbajaj1244]

I would like to thank a girl , who made me listen to such wonderful songs. She stays 700 miles away from my home but lives 24*7 in my mind. I feel so positive just by thinking about her.

[@frostyglass3738]

I'm so envy of the gift these people posses, I appreciate the way they share it with us! Don't forget about a thing called love

[@falconpunch9791]

I love Tony's smile at 3:40 after hearing that beautiful piece by Alex. That smile says it all. Must be so fulfilling to hear your song sung so beautifully...

[@fasihq7590]

Wow look at that, I'm here in the 2020 listening this masterpiece

[@vahe579]

Actually im addicted to those songs

[@iplotner1]

Soooo beautiful

[@tomfivoh3041]

This version is extraordinarily beautiful and meaningful. Listening to the one with Richard Bedford I am thinking - why would you do something like that to such a pristine song?!... These lyrics deserve to be sang just like guys did it here, classy and touching. That's the way to go!

[@jakejones1955]

Bedford still added his special touch to all his A&B songs i wish he could have at least performed 1-2 songs at this show too bad, probably wanted a big pay out or wasnt available

[@tomfivoh3041]

First time I have ever heard this song is this acoustic version. Maybe if I had heard any of original ones before I would feel differently. But starting with such high standard, I think that any other version is just not good enough ;)

[@jcotter4755]

Think he may of been on tour with Armin but you are right,I'm not hating or anything!

[@CrazySalad712]

Tom Jones I think Bedford was already busy with Armin Only.

[@Bezauum]

A masterpiece!

[@LouderSpaceBand]

Alex Vargas blows my mind... what a voice! 3:20 gave me goosebumps.

[@tzubylolz]

As soon as Alex Vargas starts to sing emotions start to flow

[@chadcupido9549]

Alex Vargas is the best vocalist. He personifies emotion. Love and light to you brother. From South Africa

[@KoldSomEnTrold]

I just love this dude. That voice I AMAZING

[@kevinsun5919]

I really think i like a lot of A & B's stuff better when it's acoustic

[@DebbieBuTung]

First of all, my English isn't really good, hope you guys could understand what I'm writing here. I saw someone being really rude here. How come you guys did that while listening to this good song? Whatever the reason of coming here, we should be polite, right? Whoever your idol is, we should be respect, right? Sooo many singer in this world, we shouldn't expect anyone to know your idol,even how famous he/she is in your country or all over the world, because someone may really don't know. Hope my English level won't misunderstood anyone of you. Finally, guys be peace and listen to this beautiful song.

[@doctorwhodude82]

+1 you have my respect

[@atefayedi1426]

+DebbieBuTung don't be afraid because your english , you are doing well and nothing wrong with ur english , and i want to thank u sir for sending peace and tolerance between those dudes lol

[@StarEater666]

Peace my friend

[@yd2720]

Thanks Jaejoong for bringing me here

[@bakkerem1967]

Now this is really 'Above and Beyond'... Amazing !

[@dauzryrahman3619]

Listen I am from Hackney and was bought up to a wide range of music when the first pioneer private rave stations started in the 80's as a kid like sunrise and kiss fm.... and listening to reggae, etc... These guys are unbelievable and proper artist who know their stuff. All those stupid people who put their thumbs down are all crazy and have no clue in music and the rave music scene.... They are proper musicians and one of best DJ's around the world catering people from all ages, from all walks of life around the world and having sell out gigs.. Truly Masters of their craft! Well Done Boys giving pleasure to people with your music.... angelo..

Fantastic acoustic version. Quite amazed and pleased to have stumbled onto this by "accident" - Serendipity at it's finest. This is really well orchestrated and is full of life and love. You can feel they all are very connected and alive with the meaning of the song.
