Legit, sang choir from grade 1 to 12 mostly in boy choirs, Nothing like that bass silently bringing colours to your ears you never knew existed. Almost in tears. Was recruited to the drankensberg boys choir in grade 5 but it was too far so my mother didnt allow me back then, this makes me wish I can harmonise in a choir again. Ive missed it so much.

BEAUTIFUL! I adore you guys. I am from Bulgaria. I visited the Drakensberg Boys Choir when I was 19, then 28 then 37. For me, it tells the story of South Africa. And it always leaves me with one message - OF HOPE.

[@modisakgotlabogosi5493]

These guys here are an ideal South Africa.

[@KsquaredSA]

As an old boy, I am so proud of these guys. This is a beautiful finessed rendition. As a bass myself I appreciate that voice, but the other boys are so beautifully balanced and tuned. Well done, fellas!

Stop the clocks it's amazing! That describes this song. Never heard such a beautiful mixture of voices, backed by a bass that shivers the soul.

[@sentitemsujamir]

Stop the clocks, it's amazing You should see the way the light dances off your head A million colours of hazel, golden and red Saturday morning is fading The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow The weather outside's changing The leaves are buried under six inches of white The radio is playing, Iron & Wine This is a new dimension This is a level where we're losing track of time I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

[@MrTflarsen]

I first heard of the DBC when I visited friends living in South Africa back in 1998 (My first time visiting Africa). I went to one of the Wednesday concerts at the school and was amazed by the quality of the singing I heard. I was so fortunate to experience the choir again at their farewell concert in Joburg before they went on their tour with the songs from Lion King and the traditional songs from South Africa that year. The quality of the choir has certainly not lessened over the years and although I'm now forced to only enjoy from afar, way up here in cold Denmark, I do so with pleasure every time a new song finds its way to KZbin. Especially when the song, setting and performance is as good as the one in this recording. I thank you all, boys and staff at DBC! -Teddy

I sang in choirs my whole life. And then I started working, doing the whole career thing, only singing in the shower (let's keep quiet about those karaoke sessions ;-) ). A friend actually forwarded this to me. And WOW. I've been listening to it on repeat for days. I guess a lot of your views is just from me here in Denver, Colorado. Most of my schooling was in Northern KZN. Listening to it here in the US it opened some emotional floodgates. Salani kahle.
