Malakai's voice is sublime, but listening to this you also see what an extraordinary talent Aled has, his voice and harmony's are equally sublime. These two should hook up for an album or two. I imagine Aled realized whilst singing 'HIS' song, that Malakai probably had the edge on him. Fantastic performance from both.

[@jensmith3719]

i have thought about this and cant decide, but each time when i hear Aled sing from years back i realised that it was the first time i had heard such a heavenly voice, Malakai is special too, but just give Aled the nod, not that it matters , Malakai is the voice of an angel and i am no way religious, this is spiritual on a different realm , not from a man made constructed religion, imo

[@mothratemporalradio517]

@@tenebos3378 i do know what you mean about Peter Auty and the version in the film. I'm generally not a fan of cover versions of songs in general. I have to say, tho, this is a very special song. It can touch one's spirit afresh. Without being in competition with Peter's original version (and he should certainly be recognised), there is an ephemeral and certainly almost sacred quality to this piece that often is captured by those who sing it. As long as Peter gets recognised, there's Naut wrong with others paying homage to the same work ;)
