Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir 4: Fly to Paradise

[@Coopdizzle]

So glad I got to be a part of this before I got cancer. I may not be able to sing now but at least I can look back at this and be proud.

[@avajohnson5605]

No! I hate cancer! Please try to fight it away! I KNOW you can do it! You were so amazing joining this!

[@_lll3vi4ch4n_8]

get well soon,I wish you the best of luck

[@macncheesetv9816]

Best of luck to you. Sending well wishes through the Internet :-)

[@jurjalexandru]

Believe in Jesus as your only saviour and confess that He is the Lord, The Son of Father God and you'll be saved! You will see The Creator then. I hardly wait until that moment

[@alt1579]

+Coopdizzle My dad battled cancer three times in his life and won. I wish you all the strength, faith, love and all that modern medical science can muster to see you through.

[@paulprince3]

5,905 singers from 101 countries, singing together in a virtual choir. The next time I hear someone complain that the internet stifles human interaction, I'm pointing them to this...

[@salamanca1954]

Paul, this is exactly what the Internet was hoped to be. I hope to take part in the next one.

[@galewallblanco8184]

There are more sides to it. Over-exposure to the internet for young people = bad. And, the internet is not universally good for everyone, for some, it makes them hurt, feel how actually people are so far away, and all that bad stuff gathered together and sensionalized. The internet's main effect is *connection* , be it of goodness or of bad. In a place where everything gathers, darkness is part of it too.

[@thecakeisalie652]

😀 you are so damn right!

[@MelanieThibodeauMellythibs]

So true!!!

[@johncraft6603]

Projects like this gives me some hope for the future. On top of that it is a wonderful vid and the music is beyond awesome!

[@randomgirlxrulz]

This video is only 13 minutes long because a full 8 of those minutes are dedicated to the credits for all the singers. Mind-blowing.

[@MegaEricPham]

Now I don't forget the people animating these as well.

[@cnaye3]

This song is amazing. I have been suffering from depression ever since my only sibling and best friend passed away 3 and 2 years ago. The contrasts and crescendos fill up a part of my soul that has been empty for a while. This is the first comment I have ever written on KZbin, and I just want to give my sincere and heartfelt thanks to Eric Whitacre for the beauty he brings to the world. I had the privilege of singing Water Night with my high school choir, and I will never forget how it made me feel so alive. Thank you so much, Mr. Whitacre.

[@maryvona6575]

I felt the same. I listen to his creativity and imagination through choir and the holes, that are left in me by deaths that leave me orphaned in this world through shattered silenced, are once again filled.

[@quaichi835]

That's terrible:(. My dog recently passed away :.(

[@abandonedmuse]

You need to sing more. Music is what has always helped me get out of depression. It’s the only thing that ever fills my soul.

[@austinhernandez2716]

Isaac White because people don't know what true music is. They've been indoctrinated. They don't respect true music.

[@Deus_Vult7]

cuz modern rap takes the cake... apparently

[@BramMichaelson]

Because .. this MEANS SOMETHING. Modern music on the radio is about $$ and ego.. not empowerment or meaning. Do I sound bitter? Some times the truth comes in a bitter pill.

[@jamesworthington009]

Man, I wish I had access to this many singers. Seriously, half of what makes this sound so awesome is the sheer mass numbers of singers. Every tiny influction of every singer just adds this chilling effect. It doesn't matter if you are perfectly in tune. Heck, it's what makes orchestras have such a great sound when you have more strings. All it takes is 8000 singers and you have one of the most magical sounds that we could produce. Now imagine this live... *dies a little bit*

[@parisgirl1001369]

This song was nothing less than beautiful. I loved it. It had just the right amount of quietness and wonderful voices and then it just explodes with all this noise that I can't explain! It's *amazing*!

[@StudioDaCapo1]

Wow, it has been some time since I have listened to this. Thanks to all who have taken time to be so kind and jot down your positive comments. I discovered Eric Whitacre while just casually surfing the Internet for new songs for my voice students, right after his first Virtual Choir piece. The word was out and videos for a new piece called “Sleep” were being accepted. Who knew these would be so powerfully amazing. After participating in a few of these and introducing students and recording their videos for submission, I submitted an audition to sing in a production of Mr. WHITACRE’S at Carnegie Hall in the spring of 2013 and was accepted. “Fly to Paradise” videos were to be submitted that year and I auditioned for one of the short solos and much to my surprise was chosen to to sing those two words, “just fly” and at 3:26 I felt like I could have flown. It meant so much as I had met so many in New York that I had sung virtually with in previous productions. During the COVID Lockdown, we all came together, separately once again and did “Sing Gently,” the largest VC yet. Music has such a remarkable ability to accomplishment much in a person’s life. If you have the opportunity to participate in one of these productions, do it, everyone’s video is accepted and you will be forever glad you did it.🎶

[@clonmult]

First heard this about a year back. And every time I listen to it whilst driving it puts me in a fantastically positive mood, and .... even on a hot summers day, it gives me goosebumps. Quite probably the most perfect blend of choir and EDM I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Utterly, utterly beautiful, I just don't have the words to adequately explain how much this song means to me.

[@kealieobrien6989]

If you like choral music blended with EDM you should also check out Michael Englehardt, particularly his Wayfaring Stranger.

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

Without a shadow of a doubt one of the finest pieces of music written... ever. History will look kindly upon Mr Whitacre. A modern master.

[@NoahConnatserr]

Wow, this is so beautiful. I'm in a marching band, and our show for this year is entitled: "The Call." It's a tribute to the men and women who were attacked in the events of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. On our closer, we play this masterpiece about halfway through the closer, and it blows me away every time I hear it. I absolutely can't wait till our band goes to Hawaii and perform this to the surviving veterans from WWII. God bless you to all those who served, or who are are currently serving. :)

[@Ritatjie16]

I just rediscovered this on an old playlist. I think I haven't listened to this song in nearly 6 years, but after hearing the first few notes, it all came rushing back, spilling over and engulfing my whole soul. Music is the most powerful thing.

[@adameccleston1926]

Mr. Whitacre Paradise Lost is a Masterpiece that did not get the credit it deserved. I cry every time I hear songs like Close Your Eyes, Forgotten and Bliss. Not to mention the Adrenaline from This is the Way and Libertas Imperio. It was your Magnum Opus.

[@adameccleston1926]

[@catprincess2429]

i also love how it starts in black and then it starts to gain more color as her wings grow!

[@ThriftyWitch]

I think the reason why this song has hit so many people emotionally is because in a since we all are angelic beings that chose to come to earth to live a human life and some where in the deep parts of our soul as a divine beings we miss being free and not being grounded to the earth. I have had flying dreams all my life and still do to this day.

[@rockbrentwood5098]

This is definitely something that's inspired me to try something far more ambitious -- a choir of 10000 in all varieties of voices ... single-handedly. I've not yet gone over 60 but did so at a rate that would have allowed around 500 in a day.

Every single time I watch and listen to this video I can't help but get choked up and shed a few tears knowing and seeing all the people in the skyscraper windows who sang together. This is what I believe all those millions/billions in heaven will sound like singing at God's throne! If this doesn't move you to believing in Him then you need to get down on your knees and pray to be permitted to hear such a wonderous choir after you die. Fly to Paradise it the perfect title for it!

I still can't believe I was a part of this amazing project. The song moves me to tears everytime. And I'm lucky because my face is visible, so I was able to share it with my friends and family and say: Look it's true, I'm right there with the gigantic headphones!!!

This always lifts my Spirit and makes me long to be Home with my Creator.
