The orchestra, the choir, the singers. This reminds me how beautiful life can be. And what beautiful things we can create together.

[@tylersilver1492]

What a beautiful comment, Johanna. I agree.

[@weindam]

My sentiments exactly.

[@JS-ls6ky]

I love this comment ❤ Thank you

[@trustbirungi]

Great insight! ❤❤❤

[@jessicaribeiro4694]

We need more of Freya Ridings and Bastille together

[@d25977]

We do, I love them

[@emerald39]

Mewing lvl 100

[@tk123420020]

he almost cannot stand still while singing because of how much he puts into it. And Freya is just out of this world. Such a masterpiece.

[@Atif_Ph.D._Kate_Bush_Fan_Club]

Wow 😮. You know you’ve hit peak success not when you’ve sold more albums than any other artist but when Hans Zimmer provides the music to your song!

[@jncg2311]

Good grief. The range, power and control that Freya often exhibits has so much meaning in this duet. Dan, of course was superb too. Just off the back of the acoustic Live in Paris performance by Bastille this was a really wonderful thing to stumble upon.

[@ShyFly1000]

I love him! Seen him live multiple times and his voice gives me chills! Freya actually adds to his voice which is so impressive. They sound amazing together. Beautiful

[@gosias751]

Milenial song im polish and i feel that too

[@littlemister96]

Hans Zimmer could honestly put a microphone in a taco bell bathroom and make a masterpiece out of it

[@fredriksvensson1181]

too real

[@briannugent5399]

😂

[@LeeGoBatMan]

@@gosias751you realise this was only released in 2013? Not at all millennial…

[@erinlee9582]

🤣🙌🏾

[@LeeGoBatMan]

@@Atlantis8100 what are you talking about 😭😭 Youve joined a conversation without knowing what it’s about 😭 The lady I responded to said that Pompeii is a millennial song, I said it’s not… idk what you’re saying 😭

[@geraldfoster428]

I was so happy when I heard Freya on the alto line (for the most parts) instead of the soprano which she generally sings. If you know Freya's voice, you know she's a beautiful and distinct but overtaking soprano. However, she appropriated her voice magnificently here and complimented Bastille's very well. That's talent right there. Loved it.

[@Hullyeah]

Serving the song :) Freya Ridings' voice is so full in her lower register!

[@12345Yeah]

Cringe lord

[@elfmatw]

@@12345Yeah No need to introduce yourself.

[@davidalbro2009]

Freya Ridings isn't a soprano. Even the high note here is well within contralto range.

[@rudsondeygner5721]

Man, these two prove the world what singing really means. It's unbelievable how their voices match so perfectly. ❤

[@javindo]

They both have such amazing voices this is such a beautiful collab

[@FIshfood500]

No it isn’t. It’s fake AF

[@benread7792]

I so wish there were a production version on Spotify with Freya as well.. this is just the most wonderful collab.

[@alex_marten]

Love Freya Ridings. Amazing performance.

[@saraharquelau3577]

It gave me goosebumps from beginning to end

[@marmadmad]

I got the chills. What a stunning, breathtaking performance. Such powerful voices! And the stage design and lights.... just WOW

[@Follager69]

Same here! Majestic singing from these two. Fwiw I just researched the phenomenon and it's called musical frisson and apparently not everyone gets chills or goosebumps listening to music. Glad to be one of the ones that do as it's such a good feeling!

[@kristy-maxineakiro4938]

Hans Zimmer is and always will be a musical genius.!

[@horse5407]

It’s so great that things like this exist.

[@soniasoca8165]

This song got me so emotional, I cried. Just when I thought this song couldn´t get any better

[@andrewbrandenburg3842]

I was so happy they came out with this version and have been listening to it on Spotify nonstop. It shows the power that music can have on a song. I love it!

[@ubongabasiefiok]

Link please? Can't find any on Spotify with freya

[@adaezeobilom]

​@ubongabasi9110 Me too

[@ekowpanford1779]

The world needs a lot of performances like this. It is astonishing how difficult it is to find pieces like this

[@cesarlcm]

Can't stop listening to this. Just can't. It's otherworldly.

[@YeshItsCourtney]

Lookit how happy Dan is, that makes my heart happy ❤

[@BoardyRocks]

Ok, so I have listened to this song probably more times than is normal. When Freya joined in it gave me chills.

[@enzodagostino586]

Freya! Man you can't be born that beautiful AND have such a great voice too! Not fair! xD

[@gabifgt]

i haven't been this stunned in a long time. i literally have chills all over my body. it's like i transcended.

[@RedRumble14]

Bastille always kills it in awards show performances!

[@vishva_de_zoysa]

This is better than the studio version, who agrees?

[@tiltedinho]

logico, tem a freya

[@TimoBarnardWEB]

Yep. I prefer this much over the studio version

[@pedrosousa8512]

I have to say this, but this singers with hans zimmer´s, what a masterpiece!!!!

[@bigsky7617]

I'm literally just tonight realizing how talented Bastille is (Killing Me Softly, holy shit). And then I come across THIS?! Incredible and beautiful!!

[@Charlie_Hodge]

This has gotta get to No.1 in the charts!

[@scarlatpaiva5011]

The perfection exists ❤

[@TheLuckalee33]

This was beautiful! I would love to hear a version with just Freya also! Her voice…beautiful!

[@catianaplans4794]

00:34 in and I got chills .. dang!

[@attackfox]

Still can’t get over this Hans Zimmer version.

[@daniloescobar6813]

What a masterpiece, sounds like angels

[@tk_elizabeth]

I don't normally enjoy renditions of songs but this was amazing.

[@martinb3250]

I have now had this on repeat for the 10th time. It's so got damn good from the beginning to the end! Amazing

[@andreasatt]

Two beautiful voices!

[@AtikBayraktar]

amazing live performance!

[@darylswan3437]

Just when I thought I had heard the perfect collaboration, they go and get Freya involved! Utterly outstanding and beautiful! My family have had to suffer my indifference to them as I repeat this over and over again.

[@jennalyndaet]

Very moving performance.

[@robingrosch3303]

Have known about her for years this is amazing for her

[@bernetsubo4431]

I came across Bastille song back in early 2013 on my Lumia Music since then i am completely hooked with pompeii song . I personally love this song :)

[@astridburri882]

Macht Gänsehaut und schickt dich in andere Welten 😍

[@TheZzou]

simply beautiful staging.

[@labibmuhaimeenuddin7228]

Love for Bastille from Bangladesh huge fan of this song

[@MuscledRMHv2]

Another master piece imo, absolutely love Hans Zimmer's work. First time I knew about Hans Zimmer was during the videogame MW2 and only after that I figured out how much incredible work he delivered in so much of my favorite entertainment

[@kimotoole8635]

First vocal omg..introduced me...love it

[@TheConsiglierie]

Would have been nice to put in a playlist. Thanks KZbin and BBC.

[@pedr0af0ns0]

[@aidanjohnson2957]
