Loved the church choir sound to this song. It has been my favorite for year and this cover holds up to the original

2:12-2:17 is one of the single best arranging moments I have ever heard. The rest is great too ^^

Goodness me. This wonderful old song will never be the same again. I'm lost for superlatives to describe the inspired arrangement and heartwrenching beauty of the singing. I've sung tenor in a simple arrangement of this song with a small choir, but nothing, absolutely NOTHING, prepared me for the impact that this Voces8 performance would have on me. I'll just go and sit quietly somewhere and recover.. 🙂.

There's just that one lampshade with its seam facing the camera. That's the only thing wrong here. We love the way Jonathan's restrained, mellow solo, complete with hand gestures, sets up the edgy, nicely brittle tenor. The alto entry sounds comical on first hearing, but grows on one. I'm thinking Swingle Singers with a makeover. A thoughtful and rewarding performance.

A lampshade seam out of alignment… wow. Are you taking any meds for that OCD? 😵💫😊
@jasminealana190410 ай бұрын
The lamp shade seam seems mighty out of place. A prop placed to gasp at it's differentiation only to succumb to it's final breath because that's where silence suits us best. Here's to all the wrong lampshade seams that face away from nature's wings and shine a light on what is right. I can only hear quite and no silence in sight.

Thanks for your comment. The reason this video has come up again is because this upload is on the group’s VEVO channel, which is different to the KZbin channel. The reason it is appearing here is because we have now made our videos available across all digital platforms so that, for example, Apple Music subscribers can view them on the iTunes platform too. We hope this will increase the amount of viewers who are able to enjoy them.

So, are the louder harmonies and muted bass intentional? I cannot say for certain, but I can imagine that the arranger, Mr. L'Estrange, intended this. Consider the opening lines, especially, phrases like "left its seeds while I was sleeping," or "a vision softly creeping" .... The hushed tones of the bass perfectly echo the sentiments and import of the song. Indeed, you have a world-class ensemble, with top notch audio engineers and first-class equipment; highly unlikely they got the mix wrong.

Shame it was drowned by bells racket initially. Volume for teenage people needs to be reduced. Spoiled recording.
