Song for Gene multitrack

[@MrPetey1937]

Simon, this is really something special. Your tribute to my friend Gene Puerling is simply beautiful. Thank you and well done.

[@GutpileCharlie]

OUT STANDING! Absolutely beautiful. Gene Puerling has got to be one of the greatest vocal arrangers of all time.

[@seamac37]

Every time I listen to this arrangement, I get tears in my eyes because the words ring so true. Vocal arrangements will never be the same. Rest in peace, Gene, and thank you for enriching my life by your music.

[@thecompanysingersph]

every single time I listen to this song, there is always a bittersweet pang in my heart. Just knowing that music hero is gone... thank you to the Akesson brothers for this beautiful tribute.

[@aydintapaydin]

after 30 years of listening acapella,so many good arragements,lotsof good singers,many of classy vocal groups.....here is my oppinion.....Eugene Puerling was real angel of vocal music

[@lhadi_memos]

A hush descended, a chilling silence deep No sound, no voice, a world plunged into sleep The brightest star, extinguished from the sky Leaving a void where laughter used to fly Through echoes of the past, we seek your trace A fleeting memory, a vacant space Yet in the music, your spirit still resides A melody that forever abides Though time may pass, your essence will endure A guiding light, forever pure and sure Your legacy, a song that will not cease A symphony of love, a gift of peace

If you full screen this photo of Gene while listening to this gorgeous piece, you will be brought to tears. No one contributed more to the art of modern vocal groups than him and that is why just the lyrics alone here are so moving. From the Hi-Lo's to The Singers Unlimited he said it all. Just ask Take 6. This is a perfect tribute.

[@joshuamilan2902]

It's been a while since a felt a lump in my throat. This is beautiful. Thank you. And I love Gene.

[@jibcraip]

I just love this one...I listen to it very often on my iPod :)

[@eln74]

Tu lo has dicho hermano "The best voice arrangements are made by Mr. Gene Puerling, God bles him always"

[@scrippslarry]

Just a fantastic arrangement, performance and tribute to Gene. He has been a HUGE inspiration and influence to me so many of my musician friends!

[@90secondtour]

What a glorious tribute to Gene. Thank You!

[@downrightman]

The Gold Standard for Vocal Arrangers and Arrangements today, and always will be this mans work.

[@jonsilence]

Gorgeous. As a big fan of Gene and the Singers Unlimited, I thank you for such a faithful, heartfelt, and beautiful arranged tribute.

[@MrFranciscoDiaz]

Beautiful song!

[@samms2007]

This sounds like Take-6 - Wonderfull and Beautiful! Just love the the way they break into Gene's 'Lullaby' accappela track that he wrote for Singers Unlimited. Perfect!!

[@llwitt]

Thank you so much for this moving tribute. Just perfect!

[@DmitryKosov812]

[@eugenesedita]

Hi Guys, thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to Mr. Puerling. I've been listening to him all my life through all his incarnations. Great job. My niece and sons live in Goteborg. I seem to be running into all things Swedish. (you are Swedish, he said embarrassed by his ignorance) I hope you've got more of your stuff up. I'll disseminate it. :)

[@dbookin]

I didnt know Gene had passed He definately will be missed

[@barbarawilliams8525]

ooooo, just found this one, love it. Is this your family, Simon

[@ordningsfrun]

The lyrics, second part: Here on earth we'll never forget your name and we know the skies will never sound the same Take your music where no music has been before and silence will follow no more (the outro is part of Gene Puerlings own composition "Lullaby")

[@FriPilot]

So pretty and well done. Thanks, guys ;) Fri

[@joymango]

i cried. a bit. just. nope. oh man.

[@theRKINGshow]

(looking in the dictionary to describe how beautiful this was... this may take a while)

[@TheThx1138]

This is pure brilliance. Not sure what note you hit at 1:14 and 1:33 but it's down there. I hope there is a tribute album someday with your track being first.

[@ordningsfrun]

The lyrics, first part: Suddenly all was quiet not a voice, nor a word The most beautiful angel went silent leaving this world We search through the silence for something that was there just moments ago Silently search for a meaning and the meaning of music and flow You're still here as the music plays there's no tomorrow but todays You're still here, I can hear you now the skylark has never sung so proud

[@jazzpotes42]

Encore plus fort a cappella ! une leçon pour l'amateur que je suis.......

[@InflatablePlane]

WOW!!!!!! O.o

[@ordningsfrun]

Simon doesn't use autotune. Autotune uses Simon, when neccesary :)

[@randalllewis2434]

LOLOL…. Isn’t that the truth!! Such a talented family!!

[@trammy3888]

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@calvtenor]

Scott Trevethen. At 1:13, and again at 1:31 the Bass note is a D flat,

[@flippatmedbernt]

Fantastiskt vackert😂

[@zachyahoo]

I believe all the information you're looking for is at the beginning of the video

[@FriPilot]

@theRKINGshow Well said :)

[@cheiden]

I want "Song for Gene in my music library. Is it available for purchase?

[@PLG1958]

It is now: www.cdbaby.com/cd/accent3 or loudr.fm/release/here-we-are/pp4Ay or itunes.apple.com/us/album/here-we-are/id955674162

[@cheiden]

I bought it the day I saw your post. Thx!

[@PLG1958]

Charles Heiden :) Thx for telling me! (I ordered 4 copies so I can spread them around. :))

[@danwright32]

sounds good. very robotic though. I don't like outright accusing people of using autotune, but did you use any?

[@leifakesson6993]

No autotune.

[@samms2007]

This sounds like Take-6 - Wonderfull and Beautiful! Just love the the way they break into Gene's 'Lullaby' accappela track that he wrote for Singers Unlimited. Perfect!!
