This is just what acapella is meant to be. Perfection in the high registers Perfection in the low registers Honest authentic and accurate. Excellent!

[@charlottevan_8]

His comment was due to my request that he react to "Secret Garden" in his livestream today, Saturday. I've had Qofy react to quite a few A Cappella Academy performances over the last few years, and he has, of course, been duly impressed.

Wow! I hope Aurora has seen this. It would move her into tears. So incredibly beautiful! 💘

[@Fayey20]

She did! ❤ She actually posted this one on her fb page 🥰

[@i_d_i_e_h]

@@Fayey20 Awww that's so great 😃 I've seen some fans making her aware of the video. I haven't seen her post it anywhere, but I've seen her likes on Instagram so she def has seen it. It's so beautiful, so I'm glad she did 💞

[@hemlockVape]

I agree 100%! I rarely get the chills from music; there's more than that here and I love it. 😍🤘🏻

[@johnytwo]

I have been waiting for some choir to do a real artistic interpretation of Aurora's song. I found it. This is beautiful, creative, it respects the original as well as adds some great original parts, it sounds perfect, looks perfect. You can feel the love it was made with.

[@justinanthonycooks]

I’m so f*cking jealous of the people who where able to witness this LIVE!!😭 this was the most magical and heart touching performance I’ve ever seen and I believe the best that was ever done in human history. Y’all put so much energy into this I bet this took every single one of you guys full emotional investment because we could experienced it! thank you all for this beautiful and mind blowing moment! WHOEVER did this arrangement is a complete genius and deserves everything that prizes human arts🙌🏽 my life is better now just by the thought of living and breathing the same air as y’all amazing creatures❤️✨

It's like a heavenly mashup between A different kind of human and The secret garden 00:00 A different kind of human Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace Mothership will take you on higher, higher This world you live in is not a place for someone like you Come on let us take you home We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace Mothership will take you on higher, higher This world you live in is not a place for someone like you Come on, let us take you home 01:55 The secret garden Where have you been hiding? You seem lost within your body and your mind A beam of light can still remind you who you are Wounded by the world Your fragile nature needed shelter In the night, we made a sanctum Out of mind and out of sight Won't you let me take you there? Won't you let me take you there? Let me take you into the garden, into the garden I'll be there painting the flowers, give them color I'll be there Listen to the anthem Hear the flowers like their hymn has healing power Take my hand and breathe in the colorful Won't you let me take you there? Won't you let me take you there? Let me take you into the garden, into the garden I'll be there painting the flowers, give them color I'll be there Let me take you into the garden, into the garden I'll be there painting the flowers, give them color I'll be there 05:13 A different kind of human We have come here for you, and we're coming in peace Mothership will take you on higher, higher This world you live in is not a place for someone like you Come on, let us take you home Omega hai foleet, Omega hai foleet Omega toneca, Omega for let in Omega hai foleet, Omega hai foleet Omega toneca, Omega for let in

[@reillybrown-f5c]

Out of the gate and as an Aurora fan I was already hype at someone showing Secret Garden love - but sneaking in Different Kind Of Human for the intro was so cool and caught me off guard I'd only heard you guys' version of Little Blue prior to this - but what radiates off all the performers and whoever arranged both is an obvious love for both songs/artists - like all the best covers you make it your own in lots of ways - but always in a way that is still linked to the soul of the original. Amazing work in the sound of it alone, that's before even getting to the visual choreography, the framing and movement - UGH, this is how you smash it on multiple fronts!

[@CondensedComments]

0:59 to 1:32 (and on to 1:44) is just wow I hope someone makes a dance song out of it or something.

[@samuellormel1706]

My god, this is the most perfect interpretation of Aurora I've ever heard !!!

[@judahwithstyle4074]

As soon as they start singing in unison, you can’t help but be transcended✨

Wow, this is just surreal. I feel as if im being transported to another dimension. Perfect blending , perfect melodies, perfect everything 😚💯

0:55 These two verses are the best a capella i've ever heard.

[@gavincollins7320]

Academy has such a special place in my heart. This was such and amazing experience and I made so many new connections from all around the world. It was truly the highest honor to have the opportunity to be apart of the art that Acapella Academy created. I %100 recommend auditioning for academy. It truly changed my life ❤❤

[@paulwhetstone0473]

Trippy…in a good way. I especially like the subtle vibrato effect in the beginning. The transition into the bird whistle section was smooth and a delightful contrast to the first section. The change up into the third section was seamless and paved the way for a nice full ensemble sound. The haunting ending dying away was a good choice and as usual…executed beautifully.

[@SilverWitch31]

WOW I GOT GOOSEBUMPS! Aurora should see this😍😍😍

[@lowkeydmusic]

this is just insane, i’m speechless lol

[@warriorsandweirdos74]

The a different kind of human part is...❤😭❤

[@Fayey20]

I hope they can release this in music streaming platforms 🥹❤️❤️

[@leepride7978]

It’ll probably be out on iTunes when they drop a new album. But if you are a Mac user, one can screen record, convert the audio to an MP3 and add it to your iTunes library. And you can include it in any playlist.

[@AicaSamia]

This is so beautiful 🥹💕

[@lizsutter161]

Oh this.... this is incredible. With the intro from Different Kind of Human. Wow. I feel like I missed my calling being in a choir when I watch performances like this.

[@Thefashionjunky]

Definitely here from IG. I have to see them live 🥹😢

[@mylesmigl987]

Music is the most moving/emotional form of art, in my opinion, and this arrangement brought me to my knees. Perfect job.

[@BTSARMYJIMIN13]

I don't know how HOW TO DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING THIS IS. I've heard other version of this song, even the original, this is litterally better I'm not exaggerating or anything I'm so excited cause I used to sing I KNOW this is INSANELY GOOD. 💓 (for most of my life, been to classes, been to theatre, been performing in venues, no one knows me I gave up and now I'm 30 and unhealthy I regret giving up! Please keep going... when I was young I used to think that like my voice didn't really matter but like you guys are so young and I'm not like like this is literally so good like.... better than a lot of people in the industry so just never give up and keep going okay??)

[@EmRiverMusic]

This is stunning, brought chills and near tears. Thank you for this supreme inspiration. Oh to be one of those listening singers!
