Years later I’m still coming back to this cover. Whoever arranged it is truly a genius and these people are hella talented!

[@nicolecahill4890]

Literally!!!!

[@Mind_ur_own_business]

Amazing performance!!!

[@katelyn072]

This is better than the original - hands down, no contest. I’m sorry, Sia....you’re a super- close second 😬

[@LuckyCJ]

I was just coming to say the exact same thing!

[@reneeb5546]

YUP

[@ElViv17]

My kitten died last night and in her short life, she was fascinated whenever I played this song and it lulled her to sleep. I'm extremely heartbroken and this will always be her song.

[@forskelligt2541]

❤

[@FizzaAlii]

May she rest in peace

[@asaprajy]

my god, this is incredible, proud alum, move to LA, all of you!

[@TwistedMeasure]

Raj Rawal Thanks! We wish we could--look out for two of our members (Jasper and Tyler) this summer!

[@asaprajy]

Twisted Measure phenomenal! gonna follow yall on spotify too!

[@mwanamke2]

Raj Rawal I swear all the great things coming out of Elon incl the epic Grant Gustin,is seriously making me consider making a career change and moving to the US just to enroll in a course like Musical Theatre at this Uni.Inspiring

[@Kai-yn8rh]

Raj Rawal !

[@jasminepough1411]

?;". ;#I really 4")#2:W, c.f.?0I'm:=

[@thebayxlr]

That final chorus makes me feel like I have reached music Nirvana

[@kawanisrenee]

JimTheHewster RIGHT! That crush note and release is everything!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

omg that minor chord at 39 seconds....goosebumps!!! I am so obsessed with this cover. Coming form a choral backround, I want to find a group of great singers to sing this with.

[@Jenifer.flute20]

also, that tension at the end......LOVE IT.

[@bjlutrus]

Jenifer Swanson It's not a minor chord, yet it still inspires gooesbumps!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

It's not minor, what is it? Sounds minor to me, but I've been known to mistake chords one for another.

[@colindrown3094]

It is minor. :)

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I thought so... I've taken enough theory to know what a minor chord sounds like...also, it's a deceptive cadence, no?

[@Icejosh1883]

Can’t tell you how many times I have watched this over the years. It’s always best in a pitch black room with headphones maxed. I get chills every time at 3:07. Love it!

[@StonyJones-i6v]

You're not wrong. Thanks for the idea, and yeah, when she hits that note and the room is pitch black, it just hits different

[@jenartrip7555]

You guys need to studio record more songs. It sounds incredible, whereas the live performances are hard to pick up the details of your voices. So so good

[@KyleWhitaker19]

Jen Artrip they have a few albums on iTunes if you're looking for more studio performances! :)

[@lili-lil-nymph]

Jen Artrip Completely agree with this statement. You're live performances don't anywhere capture your amazing voices.

[@nathansharnsky5357]

Ive come back to this so many times over the years and I love it everytime!! A bunch of people have said this too but heres another to show you how much love we have for you and making this! Beautiful people with Beautiful voices, amazing vibration

[@abcthegreat1]

Really awesome! Composition has sort of an Eric Whitacre feel to it. Really well executed!

[@sidnsimone]

I completely agree. I'm glad someone else feels the same way. Chills running down my spine for both.

[@sawiczs]

abcthegreat1 Absolutely, that's the first thing I thought of.

[@claudiastark]

abcthegreat1 Was thinking the same thing!

[@fswindell]

I love Eric Whitacre!

[@lilyhain]

abcthegreat1 I'm absolutely in love with Erica Whitacre, I sang sleep with my choir back in 2011. It's funny though because the arrangement was by Kyle Whitaker, different spelling but I still find it amusing.

[@lilly27sings]

Mind BLOWN. Phenomenal all around. That arrangement though. And executed perfectly. Incredible.

[@thetravellingcarrot]

No kidding!!

[@Kellmachine]

Real life Pitch Perfect? I approve! Great job guys!

[@vanessalindsley7221]

No, so much better

[@Kellmachine]

***** It was meant to be a joke but I'm just not as funny as I think I am lol

[@ignaciocostamagna2901]

Kellmachine ok thats good

[@cheri1997]

I thought it was funny, no need to be so serious ☺️

[@heathersmith8731]

I’ve been listening to this version for years now. Always makes me teary eyed and gives me goosebumps. I love sharing it and reminding people it’s 100% vocals and seeing their response, so much talent. Such a beautiful pure cover.

[@colinjohnson7533]

This is the most beautiful a cappella song I've ever heard.

[@DungForever]

I've been OBSESSED w/ this cover for the past year and a half. 😍😍😍😍

[@peterherron4222]

i couldn't agree more. If I need inspiration......I visit this

[@BeautifulMessMusic]

Great cover! Great arrangement.

[@TwistedMeasure]

BeautifulMessMusic Thank you!

[@cindycruzadomusic1350]

Love the arrangement!!!!!

[@teunkemmerling9552]

Probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@KhoiMVo]

This is incredible. Almost moved me to tears.

[@TwistedMeasure]

Khoi Vo Aw thanks a bunch!

[@SonyaLCH]

+Khoi Vo Me too. This was my late husband's favorite song. Sia was his favorite artist. This was heavenly.

[@majorprogramdotcom]

Almost? You didn't have it loud enough or your headphones aren't good enough

[@Whitedragon9d]

So glad there was no beatboxing in this like 90% of a cappella groups do

[@semperfyefindingyoutubeexc7959]

I completely agree. This work was better served without a beatbox. But I rather enjoy the beatboxing in most performances. BYU Noteworthy's beatbox girl (Sarah) is flat-out amazing.

[@elijahcrosby786]

i agree, as the co acapella beatboxer. somethings juts don’t need it

[@xzandresmith8077]

This needs no beatbox. The dynamics moves the song

[@samuelwentzel]

This brought me to tears and made me want to be in a choir again so bad. Truly beautiful how music can move people. Cannot wait to hear more and will definetily be buying!

[@AbbyElmer]

I’ve probably listened to this about a hundred times and get goosebumps every time. It is mind blowing how someone and make a simple pop song so complex and moving. And then they get a group of extremely talented people together and make absolute beauty. I JUST LOVE IT.

[@alpiemagbanua]

Abby Elmer Bat hinde kasama si kiefer sanchez underrated ba sya? For me in chorus 1.kefier kiefer sanchez (tnt boy) nailed it 2. Eumee - new version of song 3. Morisite- clearest version 4-9 the rest- hit the note Watch Kiefer kiefer sanchez nail version!

[@lolitslea]

Abby Elmer thank you❤️ we love that you love it ❤️❤️

[@triskelionitis]

Is this how it sounds when the doors of heaven open?

[@danielgrui-tt7042]

No because heaven doesn't exist...

[@Blonded_ye]

Daniel Grui-tt the mental voice you're reading this sentence in doesn't exist.

[@cjmg321]

triskelionitis What a beautiful thing to say....you made me cry to read this while I am hearing them sing. Oh, bless you whoever you are! You have blessed day!

[@ThatBoyBen1994]

Yes, a song about alcoholism plays when the gates of heaven open...

[@triskelionitis]

Ben Liddell It's abouy overcoming her childhood fears which did involve alcoholism. I never meant /heaven/ heaven, I don't mean this for any kind of religion, it could be your own heaven lol, never meant to project it as religious

[@kaechidi5025]

I performed this with my school’s choir for a competition! Unfortunately we didn’t get through to the final but we were very proud of ourselves! This is phenomenal!

[@lolitslea]

MidoriGurinSim proud of your for doing it! ❤️

[@J-Kersting]

I got chills from 3:00 to the end, but mainly until 3:21. Being a member of drum corps for two years, a trumpet player for 9 years, and an arranger for 4 years, all I can see is a corps performing this as their ballad, 3:00 being the main impact. I hope y'all don't mind if I use this for an arrangement.

[@brdy8755]

Govenaires did this in their ballad (and I was in it). It was awesome. ANd the brass pulled it off very well. If you want to see, our show is called Sherlock

[@J-Kersting]

You should check out the show I'm writing right now, a WIP has been posted on my other channel: Kersting Compositions. While you're there, you can check out my run through video of Le Reve with the rest of the Blue Stars. my POV, of course.

[@alexanderdelarosa7310]

Skinny Jimmy Gaming My marching band made THIS arrangement our ballad in my show this year

[@jordanhurst4349]

Bradee Isbell I would LOVE to hear it. I looked on here but can't find it.

[@aaronhilliker7566]

Skinny Jimmy Gaming We're adapting this version for our ballad this year, with some killer woodwind/pit runs and stuff... :)

[@secretice]

I wrote "Sia a capella" and I had to go way too down to find you guys. This is an extraordinary performance. From the bottom of my heart, I thank and congratulate you, for this beautiful arrangement. Kudos!

[@TheSignalTower]

if you search "chandelier slow acapella" it's the second result

[@secretice]

Thanks. That's very specific though

[@paulyhart]

Plus, most people don't spell "a capella" correctly at any rate. :P

[@ebanavorio]

The correct spelling is "a cappella", because singers of 'schola cantorum' during mass used to sing without instrumental accompainment, gathering together in a small chapel (italian: cappella) aside within the church building.

[@xotammiexo8753]

The first video I watched in 2016!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕 P.s This is every choir kid's dream. lol👍👍👍❤😍

[@lolitslea17]

+xoTAMMIExo that's awesome!

[@amethystjewell3907]

Yes! I'm in choir and it's like I WANNA DO THIS

[@MrSnowmanstuff]

Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time. Is it possible for something to stay this perfect every time you watch it?

[@currdizzle34]

This version of 'Chandelier' is simply amazing. Just incredible!

[@anthonytroupe9140]

ATTENTION: There's a live version of this on their channel. It doesn't make sense to come on the studio version saying you want it live when it's under this video when you search it.

[@anthonybenz8383]

I'm a high school choir teacher and my jazz choir did this arrangement for our fall concert. It's tough to pull off, but the kids loved and the audience went nuts for it!

[@msf304]

I absolutely adore this arrangement! I actually debuted my drag character with a performance to this. It was for a fundraiser for a recently passed friend's final expenses. It was so well received that I'm going to continue doing it. Many, MANY thank yous!

[@hiyabuddy7]

This is still one of the most beautiful arrangements of music I've ever heard. Their voices all blend so well together. I pray that's what heaven will sound like

[@grafotoeu]

I'm all in tears...

[@khlesejackson6118]

Balint Nagy lol same

[@suedejones974]

This is the best A Capella I've ever heard, of any song, EVER.

[@fergq9529]

I'm absolutely in live with this cover. It gives me the goosebumps at 3:10. That perfect pitch!

[@henriknygaardoye]

Me too, I absolutely love the part at 0:00 - 4:13!

[@motodoode]

If they could transfer more of how well they listen to each other with their studio work and apply it to their live performances, they'd be stupendous. Their intonation, balance, and timing are superb, here.

[@lyrasmedicine]

Being in choir for 6 years, i can say that this is an amazing arrangement. I get goosebumps each time!

[@BMAN-16]

Every time I listen to this, I listen to it 3 times in a row. This song is ludicrous.

[@Acitty200]

Applause for whoever arranged this. Such a beautiful interpretation. brought tears to my eyes and chills down my spine. Excellent execution from all those involved. Keep up the great work

[@tylerjohnson9231]

It's amazing what a studio can do... Listen to the live version of this choir singing this. Different story.

[@GiaMarieCarangi]

No matter what 3:46 ALWAYS gives me chills.

[@badboy37]

not literally...

[@GiaMarieCarangi]

Did I say literally? No.

[@xferalx9322]

The whole thing gives me chills

[@philliprios8447]

Chills and tears every time! Props to your bass and soloist especially

[@sheryl-6101]

I know there's a lot of negative commentary, constructive or otherwise but personally, being a part of a vocal group, I feel you guys did an amazing job! Everybody ALWAYS has scope for improvement but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate what's already there. It's easy for people to comment when half of them don't know a thing about arrangements and another few are just vigorous music fanatics without actually having much knowledge about it. I don't claim to know a lot but I do know how it feels to be a part of a splendid group that makes perfect overtones sometimes and are not so perfect at other times. I know the euphoric feeling of singing your lungs out. The chemistry of the group on stage that performs with so much cheer that it's infectious enough to get the crowd on their feet. The amount of work that goes into this whole thing. I think you guys are amazing and the lead vocals blended very well with the flow of the arrangement. I hope you guys become very famous in the nearest future. #HatersGonnaHate #KeepGrowing #LotsOfLove

[@lolitslea17]

Sheryl Suraj I really really appreciate you saying this, it's real and heartfelt and definitely worth reading. Thank you very much :)

[@oneofthelucky1s]

Sheryl Suraj I so agree!! I may be biased (being a previous performance choir member from Burlington, NC), but I thought it was EXCELLENT!! Looking for more of your music now!!

[@rohanfedrick6965]

+Sheryl Suraj Hey! I thought that was a beautiful thing to say! I want to look for your vocal group's music too.. where can I find it?

[@sheryl-6101]

+Lea You're welcome :)

[@sheryl-6101]

+Charles Passannante Anytime :)

[@queenrayna]

I'll be singing this version of this song with my chorus group (I sing the first verse) We're breaking it up into 4 female leads going ensemble, lead 1 on first verse, lead 2 on second, leads 1 & 2 on the pre-chorus lead 3 on the chorus, lead 4 on bridge, then 1,2,3 & 4 together for everything else including final chorus with the ensemble singing behind us. It sounds pretty food so far. We were all stunned by the original version and knew we wanted to replicate it. Thank you for putting out such an amazing cover

[@slkbme]

This is one of the most beautiful things that I've ever heard.

[@jadenmikoulinskii2935]

This was the deciding factor as to where I wanted to go to college. Amazing video

[@andy31419]

Awesome!! Incredible harmonies. I loved it!

[@cindywade6029]

I loved it. Now in youtube land listening to some more music. Thanks for sharing Eric.

[@carolyncochran3118]

Coming from a music background myself - when I found this rendition of the song - I had goosebumps all the way through! All voices complement each other & i am so impressed. I listen to this song all the time with headphones on of course!! Fantastic job!!!! 😊

[@sprwnch]

Wow! First time I've ever actually understood every word from this song. Beautifully done!

[@ricardoacevedo2460]

LOVE this cover! the principal vocalist sings sooo good! And the final notes..... Mind blowing.

[@CatCross17]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this. I always love it and I always think it's better than the original. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@taylorbell7201]

The talent of each of you combined is what has gotten you to where you are. Never lose sight of that.

[@מאיהבריל-ג5ר]

The most beautiful cover I've ever heard.

[@abdulmohsen]

This never fails to give me chills

[@brittanykerr3716]

Unreal.

[@aleovm]

This cover and arrangement literally changed my life.

[@Duaba720]

got chills just listening to the first 0:03 seconds. SO GOOD

[@MedicTopher]

I still always come back to this cover. The baritones with the altos every time gives me the mind blown vibes

[@00invinceable00]

when you know you love a song in 2 seconds. great job

[@TheRestlessKind]

It does not matter how many times I watch this, I still get goose bumps and tear up. YO GO GLEN COCO!

Dear God! This is enchanting. I feel the love that went into this. You guys made the most beautiful magic!

[@damonismusic]

Every time I watch this. Instant chills. Amazing. Even years after the first time I heard it.

[@lbikakis]

Kyle Whitaker, I thought your arrangement of Twisted Measure's Set Fire to the Rain was genius, but this arrangement just verifies my thinking!! You are GENIUS!! I am so proud of you all and glad that I attended every performance for 4 years straight!! I knew the secret and witnessed the magic first hand!! OMG!! This is phenomenal!!

[@jaredsmith5629]

this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard

[@duffthepsych]

Holy shit.

[@dominiqueguyton9450]

Her opting out at that 2:12 minute until 2:15 part is EXACTLY what was needed. That was beautiful hearing the background carry on the tune .....it's eery at the same time such a beautiful climactic moment! The same is to be said with 3:45-3:50....she didn't back down totally but her scale down and sfz while the choir in the background are coming back in with a bang....Gets me everytime! Opposite Sfz....one is getting more quiet as the other comes back in with the melody. Gorgeous! Musically, this is such a masterpiece and the voices were the right choices! Brava! :)

[@farhanaislam8634]

[@andrewrothman]

Coming back to this two years later and it still gives me chills.

[@lolitslea]

Andrew Rothman ❤️❤️

[@trishl707]

this sent chills down my spine

[@stefanik3865]

I cried through this whole song, the voices are so beautiful together.

[@Jleahgreene]

Honestly with you guys singing I feel like im in heaven....honestly. This is real music. It comes from the heart 💙

[@lmaohi5098]

This is such a great cover! The blending,the chemistry with your voices! I'm blown away! Singing is my life, a Capella inspires me. This is an inspiration to all singers worldwide. I'm from North Carolina, I'm so proud of this cover. It gives me goosebumps,and I love great music,like your cover. it's straight up amazing.

[@DanStrivelli]

I've listened to this cover at least 50 times. The first big harmonies they strike at 0:35 start the waterfall of powerful chords. The use of heavy suspended 2nd and 4ths make this vocal piece very unique and give it a light and flowly feeling. The dyamics in this piece are on point! Also the use of the deep bass harmonies give an old temple monk feeling which gives authority to the song and added power to Abby's solo vocals. She' I don't think this piece could have been arranged any better. Kudos to the whole team.

[@LuckyCJ]

Still come back when I want or feel like…. Feeling 😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥

[@Talik13]

Chills. Every time. I can't stop listening to this version; It's got SO MUCH emotion and feeling behind it!

[@dadli1ikz]

am back......still get chills watching this

[@Alice-rx9oq]

If you don't focus on the lyrics much, it does sound like a song from the heaven Just amazing

[@forskelligt2541]

The MOST wonderful and touching A cappella song I have heard for a long time - I have known it for years and return regularly to this. It has healing Powers!

[@Jellly13]

The goosebumps are real!!!

[@chachaloveless]

I still can't get enough of this cover! My favorite

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

As I listen, this version "flies like a bird through the night"...as I type, "feel my tears as they dry"...

[@ElizabethBalloon789]

This has got to be the best acapella version of any song ever

[@kattygabby3519]

Really enjoyed this a cappella. Always love it when the lyrics are crystal clear. Seeing it in slow motion! Great blend of voices!

[@smgdaddy13]

Goosebumps and tears

[@maciwynn5123]

I absolutely love this so much. I watched it like a million times.

[@martygibson3687]

My Nephew (the guy in the booth directing with his hands and a singing part of this group) played a big part in this production. I never grow tired of listening to the this arrangement and the melding of such tremendous voices.

[@lolitslea]
