I don’t understand how this doesn’t have a million views. I have no words to express the amount of brilliance and magic this brings to my soul. This orchestra reminds me of interstellar. I’m sure it’s the organ sound. But it’s is out of this world. Godly magical music. I will make sure to watch him live. Have to.

[@TheBigEasyConservative]

watch Laura Mvula with them.... it's just as awe-inspiring

Ich war letzte Woche auf dem Live Konzert und bin seither total süchtig nach der Musik. Absolut grandios

[@stambomuc]

Schade das du Sohn erst jetzt kennengelernt hast; verfolge seine Karriere schon seit guten zehn Jahren. Lieb seine Musik

[@lukaszgrzybowski]

Probably one of the best live performances with an orchestra out there (the depth and quality of the sound is just supreme), and one of the most underrated voices in music. In a world of crapy copy-pop an offensive trap with mumble lyrics for thugs an idiots pretending to be music, this has real value that cannot be defined by the current standards and will not fade with time!

[@shane864]

This but without the dickheaded racism.

[@shamelesssheamis545]

Best live performance I have EVER seen and I’m shocked this hasn’t been watched by millions.

[@danieltheurer]

it is a shame not to hit the 1 or 2 million views... but on the other side it probably is the reason - not everyone sees that special into this kind of music (a shame) or appreciate it -> they don´t deserve it!

[@VijayKishoreTV]

Mind blown from start to finish, stunning! a true performance. Wish i was in the crowd for this gig. Shout out to everyone who has arranged, mixed and mastered this, its a work of art!

Unlike anything I've ever heard before. Pure magic that takes you to a higher dimension. Can't find more words , only tears in my eyes. Spiritual heaven. Thanks.

[@marioduran7219]

This is a masterpiece. 1 hour of continuos goosebumps, smiles, tears and some dancing. I'm glad I had the chance of watching Sohn back in 2017 in Mexico, but I would die to see this concert live someday. Thank you for this, Sohn!

What a beautiful, perfect night this was. Thank you Sohn and the Metropole Orchestra for this brilliant performance!

It's time to update history books. This is one of the greatest moments of music! Met you back in 2007 at the Woodstockenboi Festival. It was with that wooden stage where the performers after their gig stepped forward right into the audience and had a drink with the few people. I was so happy sharing a few words with you and getting your signature on my CD. That day I knew your music will become manifest into mankind. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I found out about this dude only a few days ago and I'm already a HUGE fan. I downloaded his cds and have been playing them non-stop ever since. I was wondering about a video version of the "live with the metrople orkest" and here it is. This was majestic!!!!

[@Disrasp]

I can type pages on pages about how your music affected me and continues to do so every single day. But I just wanna say thank you, SOHN. This reaches into places within me that I've never been, feelings I never knew could be felt, it's hard to explain. I'm incredibly grateful that I can experience this.

[@YHill-pn3bb]

This version of Rennen makes me cry every time...

[@may.begloria]

the mixing of this is crazy for a live show! im in love with this, such beautiful songs

[@HoogieSaphouc]

I’ll be honest. I have absolutely no recollection of how I discovered this band, but I can tell you that I am way stoked that I did. This fusion of songwriting, electronic mastery, and symphonic harmony literally force moisture out from my body. I would love to have a high quality copy of this along with artist submitted captioning (the auto generated captions are nothing short of laughable most times, but I like to make sure what I hear is what is the artist said) I could listen to this on a loop , happily, for a few months at least- if not longer. SOHN,.... moar plz. Lol.

[@AnnaAwe]

It's taken me a long time to find a new band/artist that I really adore, and this is it! I am a fan of a lot of older music--rock, new wave--but haven't found that kind of songwriting much in well-known modern music. Sohn does an excellent job of combining modern electronic instruments and sounds with more traditional classical and singer/songwriter techniques. Truly original and great! Thanks for posting!

[@milanstastny6799]

Dear Anna, I like it very much too. I would like to drag your attention to another remarkable musician, composer and singer called Bayonne and his album Primitives.

[@IYABYERU]

Thanks SOHN and all your team for making this for us to have more years to live in this sucker world, thanks for combine your compositions and evolve your songs into pure magic.

[@SpyderSeven]

So good, it's unbelievable. I think it speaks to the depth of SOHN's music that this works so well. A lot of musicians' work done in this way would sound like an orchestra cover of their songs; SOHN's work sounds like it was made to be performed by 3 dozen master musicians
