Beautiful song, beautiful voice. I love her arrangements, style, lyrics. Perfect tribute to Dad.❤❤❤

[@v.blanchard8339]

Wow. Beyond beautiful.. almost heavenly...the voice, the phrasing, timbral contrast, the orchestral synergy. Especially touching words in memory of Dad.💝🌺

[@pacificjazzorch]

Yes yes yes. Thank you!

[@user-sp1qr6fi5p]

Breathtakingly beautiful singing voice soul stirring

[@ralphpulver2888]

This is such a precious song, by an insanely talented woman and incredibly and masterfully performed. There should be 256 million views not 256!

[@ANDYJOE97]

Apparently she has a new album coming out soon within the next year or so

[@daviddehorne1971]

no words.... mesmerised from start to finish!!!

[@NickRatto]

Thank you Herb for this Introduction of , miracles in sound of this young Woman n Orchestra

[@jessicaeverett218]

I don't think it's possible to overstate how deeply affected I am by this song. Enraptured. Deeply stirred to my soul. Overcome by multiple deep competing emotions. Breathtakingly blown away. And still I wish I had more expressive language to better express both how I feel after listening to this song and the gratitude I feel to these incredible talented musicians. Performances like these come around once in a lifetime, and we are Blessed to beat witness to them. 💖

[@mmmnice2364]

A wonderfully poignant song. I had just lost my father when I first heard this song and then sadly lost my mother a few weeks later. I played this during the funeral procession as we exited the service with both coffins as it was a double burial. I couldn't think of or wished for a more fitting song to send them off to. Thank you, Kandace and the PJO.

[@pacificjazzorch]

Our deepest condolences. We just got to read this comment, and we send loving and healing vibes to you and your family.

[@antoniosimmini2403]

wonderful performance especially orchestra...............perfect voice Kandace

[@pacificjazzorch]

Thank you! We are so immensely honored to have all these players participate in our orchestra, which is btw the only one of this size and instrumentation in the US.

[@rojioyama248]

I was brought to tears by this song. The lyrics and sentiments reminded me very much of how I felt when I said goodbye to the love of my life on June 11, 2023. After a courageous battle with ovarian cancer for over two years, she succumbed to its will. She is forever in my heart as her strong spirit lives on with me. I will share this beautiful song with her. Thank you for this beautiful moment. I will share this with my friends who knew her and how difficult of a journey it was for her.

[@flazih500]

All shall be well. Life is a hell of a trip unfortunately!

[@justinh4421]

I’m sorry for your loss friend🙏🏽. Her spirit be with you.

[@rojioyama248]

[@_dagmar__]

This song is so so beautifull!

[@pacificjazzorch]

Kandace's original composition with an arrangement by conductor and founder of the PJO Chris Walden.

[@soniasolomon5388]

Exquisite, exotic and ecstatic experience to hear such a pure & rich vibrato voice. What a talent and the voice that evokes so much emotion. Powerful and clean. Love I found Kandice ❤️

[@adrienjf3854]

I am a fan of Kandace Springs forever !👏👏👏

[@auleschay180]

Every time I see this video and hear her voice the tears run over my face and there's nothing I can do. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Thanks so much!

[@Free_FromLegalTyranny]

That's the truth.....I get lump in throat as well.

[@sealfan1000]

❤

[@waynemckay100]

Beautiful song .....

[@sanj6576]

Got me crying over here too!!! I'm like whaatt?!!

[@ReneTihista]

me too

[@fotohamburg]

The song: yes! The performance: of course! Doesn't anyone have a word about this woman? More attractive is not possible. Wow!!!

[@PennTripletGirls]

This song has me crying again, again and again....

[@douglasreace1052]

This piece almost brings tears. Such an emotional delivery with such intensity. This is at the top of her vocal range, but the song still works. What a classy woman.What talent. We saw her at the Marcus Theater in Milwaukee this spring. She was the highlight of our trip along with walking along the shore of my beloved Lake Michigan. 😢

[@PLeonTube]

When Peter Erskine is in the mix, you know the taste is great!

[@ronaldbrown8792]

Wow! Her voice made chills run down whole body.

[@TheBigBandWolf]

I’m such a fan of Kandace Springs. She always manages to touch and stir my heart through her performances as in this one. I’d love a recording of this to add to my song library. ❤

[@bandshillyshally]

this is another masterpiece of this soulful, authentic and incredible talented pianoplayer, singer and songwriter Kandace Springs. Fantastic arrangement with this great orchestra. I would give a lot to see her playing live one day. She is unique and she live music like no one else. ❤

[@dorota3071]

Słucham i rozdziela mi duszę.dziękuję.

[@petereffamy8740]

Echo the comments below. Great song/artist supported by a magnificent arrangement/playing. Aren't enough of these type of concerts around.

[@jazznutz]

Just discovered her. Where have I been? This made me weep.

[@wernerkempkens266]

Pure passionate breathtaking singing KS ❤

[@herbertball429]

Just incredibly beautiful, played again and again. ❤

[@MalgorzataGabriel]

Znakomite przejmujące wspaniałe gratuluję to niezmiernie trudny utwór Uwielbiam was ❤

[@carwen40]

Wow!! I was blown away!! Never heard of her before...she's just credible!!!

[@ruigarcia972]

very very very very beautiful !

[@1marttie]

Absolutely an amazing performance and orchestration. Thank you so much!

[@TwiztedGenius]

BEAUTIFUL

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Next time, move the camera so we get to see the singer's face. She is, after all, the star here. We shouldn't have to wait five minutes to see her sing.

[@librisc]

such a shame for that. Awful video montage.

[@darlenemc3586]

I'm sure she asked for privacy, since she is singing about her Dad. She doesn't want to cry in front of the camera, or just in case she cries, she doesn't want anyone to see her face as she sings and possibly cries. I'm rambling, sorry.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Ramble on!@@darlenemc3586

[@SteveinJersey1234]

Exquisitely beautiful song and performance. I can't believe it took until now for me to discover this superbly talented musician.

[@allwheeldrive]

She has quite an incredible history. Spend some time on KZbin looking for her performances. You won't regret one moment.

[@aslprobro]

she sounds so amazing. I can only imagine being in this room. so crazy. wow. just beautiful.

[@williamsmith8423]

Yeah, she nailed it. Again. I'd like to see her in live performance.

[@DavidGaliel]

I had that privilege in a small venue in Portland, Oregon. Her presence - and that voice! - filled the room. I highly recommend seeing her live. She is the real thing. No airs, no BS, just an extraordinary, soulful artist sharing her talent with the audience.

[@arianluna4548]

Thank you for this. Your voice just tore my heart out! You had been blessed with angelic pipes. The world needs more music like this. Music that heals.

[@Marlibery22]

Mentre ascoltavo la sua voce è arrivato il sole dalla mia finestra 😮

[@badgalruth]

How can you not be a fan of hers…her voice is breathtaking her music helped me when I lost not my mother but my MOMMA miss her so so much that it hurts still to this day as if it just happened…in my mind and thoughts she went somewhere Jus haven’t returned yet………..😢 #babygirl #missyoumomma #kandicesprings

[@thebadmf]

It’s ironic that the we don’t get a close up of Kandice’ face until 4 and a half minutes in yet we get repeated shots of the conductor and instruments.

[@librisc]

my thoughts exactly. Pathetic.

Thanks Alex. Totally enjoy your approach to AJ and the Masterclass singer she is and continues to be. Looking forward to the third song on rotation. My guess for the third song is the Allen Walker Concert. featuring Angelina.

[@melodeeedington-leyshon663]

Kandace is indeed as *marvelous* as her gifted father, my App State friend “Scat.” I’ve long admired Kandace’s work- she is stellar on this. 🙏🏽 GORGEOUS, rich tribute.. to any precious loved one who’s no longer in this realm with us.. I thought of my own father. I know Scat/Kenneth is smiling down from heaven at his amazing daughter. 💜 I truly wish to hear MORE from this beautiful, talented young lady!

[@jameswarrington4885]
