Bastille x Freya Ridings - Pompeii MMXXIII | Live at The Earthshot Prize Awards

Anyone else got chills? Bastille and Freya Ridings give a magical live performance of Pompeii MMXXIII at The 2023 Earthshot Prize Awards.
--
Over the last ten years, the evidence that we face urgent challenges to protect the environment has become indisputable, and it’s clear that the time to act is now. Drawing inspiration from the concept of moonshots, which since the moon landing in 1969 has become shorthand to talk about the most ambitious and ground-breaking goals, Prince William announced The Earthshot Prize: an ambitious set of challenges to inspire a decade of action to repair the planet.
We believe in the power of human ingenuity to prove to us all that the seemingly impossible is possible.

Freya is extremely controlled and compliments Dan brilliantly.

[@karlgan5247]

Her vocal control to not overpower Dan is brilliant. Truly skilled.

[@Wyze950]

I think I fell in love tho

[@Wyze950]

She so goddamn beautiful,and those eyes,DAMN

[@24Kemist]

haahhaha @@Wyze950

[@gulagmerchant8356]

freya did so well to not overwhelm bastille’s voice considering how strong her voice is

[@davidlyleson1111]

Her part was unclear; but still turned out beautifully

[@therealbettyswollocks]

Dan having the time of his life. Imagine going from writing songs in your bedroom that weren’t intended for others, to having Hans Zimmer orchestrate one of your masterpieces and accompanied by Freya, who was the perfect accompanying vocalist.

[@jackseals3337]

Freya understood the assignment

[@MsAuthenticite]

😂#Fact!

[@Wtftoveis]

They sound more like one voice than a duet. I have never heard two voices harmonize so in sync before. The whole performance was beyond chilling

[@dicarpio2177]

It’s genuinely astonishing isn’t it? I’d totally watch them covering pretty much any song together with zimmer doing the arrangement - even the going for gold theme tune!!

[@JS-ls6ky]

This is the reason why music was invented. To inspire the soul and capture human creativity. ❤

[@santiagoalzate8820]

It’s the fifth time I watch these performance on repeat and the goosebumps won’t stop. Absolutely outstanding ✨

[@k.sambaris3384]

I can relate 😍

[@freakycheeks10]

Me to 😍

[@cg5410]

Me too! Can't get over with this

[@pedrosousa8512]

Me too, same boat here :)

[@donnasumner1218]

Have you seen them perform with Hans Zimmer ? Serious goosebumps moments ❤

[@dannymartin4468]

I didn't think this song could get any better...Then Freya Ridings rocks up! She is so underrated.

[@katheufk]

Can we have it on Spotify? 🥺🥺

[@mvmnt3scherzo]

freya, orchestra, choir… forget it, man. i’d be a puddle of tears if i saw this live.

[@zo7034]

Really liked this rendition of the song, great work to Bastile, Freya, Hans and the choir and orchestra

[@thornerg2]

That's it, music has peaked. Everyone else might as well just give up. Stunning.

[@mariaceciliacarvalho130]

The choir just look so damn happy to be a part of this! Goosebumps all over

[@user-js4oz9oi3m]

2:27-2:30 when Freya hits that note…goosebumps

[@KaneKaylan]

I would love a Freya solo rendition of this song.

[@mariaceciliacarvalho130]

Imagine the honor of being one of the musicians involved in the creation of this masterpiece...

[@simonbeeden7302]

Everything about this is amazing. I would never have thought of putting their voices together but they compliment each other perfectly. They're clearly both very talented but Freya's voice is just hauntingly beautiful.

[@Kiki-fb2nm]

honestly love watching the joy on Dan's face as some of the big moments hit

[@Dr-dl4iw]

Must have been an amazing experience for the audience to witness this stunning performance right in front of their eyes. Jaw dropping.

[@Lissyblanche]

My god this is perfection, well done to everyone involved 🌍

[@andrewbrandenburg3842]

This rendition is a perfect example of the beauty of music, emotion, passion, joy, and love in a song! Everyone singing in this video is smiling and enjoying every minute of it. Love it!

[@cornettomsc]

Yes, the music ist good. But seeing Dan being so happy about it and enjoying it - that's so wholsesome 🤗

[@jamesbunn94]

This is a fantastic version! Freya compliments Dan's voice but lets him lead; really beautiful stuff from them both!

[@rudsondeygner5721]

What a monstruous couple is that, vocally speaking!?!?!? It sounds like if it were only him singing, that'd be perfect. If it were only her, perfection as well. But having them both together ... it was the birth of the genesis of perfection. OMG!!! Unspeakable. 😮😮😮

[@Nadine930]

I‘ll never forget that day a friend asked me to go to a very very small concert in Munich years ago. Freya is amazing! This will me my favorite concert for all time. There were less than 50 people. So thankful for that! You are as beautiful as your voice! Keep that in mind.

[@stephgrace-summers7123]

Freya Ridings is everything

[@minjilover]

Really didn't expect them to be here in Singapore for the event!!! This song version is just a whole new level

[@cllareou]

I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settles around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all?

[@jasonlewis3474]

If music had a love child ❤️ love #freyaridings and to put her with my absolute favourite band #bastille and for #earthshot and #planetearth this should go down in history!!!!

[@sarahslater2580]

Such a wonderful arrangement of an iconic song, Freyas voice with Dan's was mesmerising, harmonies beautiful, while music such as this is being produced we can all be optimists about this

[@Chris_e17]

[@willianis7313]

The world needs more Freya Ridings collaborations. This is EXQUISITE!

[@karmadekye1262]

I was stunned. I never heard of Dan Smith and Freya until now. This man amazed even my husband who is not into music. His voice alone is outstanding. Such a wonderful arrangement. So proud of the singapore choir who had the chance to be part of a meaningful event. ❤

[@clivestephen6420]

[@journeysintothelight2133]

Three of my faves 🥹 “Pompeii” has become such an evolving song: their mashup with “Waiting All Night” at the 2014 Brits and now this orchestral version… 🥲

[@EvinRattner]

This song just keeps getting better and better with age. Love this arrangement.
