VOCES8 & Lyyra: Time After Time arr. Blake Morgan

VOCES8 & Lyyra perform 'Time After Time' at the VOCES8 Centre. For our first collaboration together, we had a rummage through Cyndi Lauper’s ‘suitcase of memories’ for a lush new arrangement by Blake of her classic song 'Time After Time'. Despite our groups coming from opposite sides of 'the pond', many different musical backgrounds, and a couple generations of life experience, this hypnotic tune about the mystery of love seems to have impacted each of us at some point.
'Time After Time': Cyndi Lauper & Rob Hyman, arranged by Blake Morgan
TEXT:
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after...
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time.

Eleonore is back😄!!

[@molliethorn]

Yes, I was delighted to see El on the video😊❤

[@CarmiMia]

First thing I noticed too 😍😍😍

[@gunsmusicnaturebeer]

Hooray!!!

[@steadyheartbeats2061]

she is my bias ^^

[@TonyGiannamore]

Always great to see Eleanor filing back in. Hope Molly will be back soon!

[@MrLanzafan]

So great.❤ Welcome back, Eleonore! ❤ We missed you.❤😍😘

[@brendariley1945]

60 years old. Fell in love with Cindy Lauper and this one in particular. To get to fall a second time. What a joyful thing!

[@AlexanderProdywus]

This arrangement is awesome, especially the deep, rich, velvety harmony behind Lyyra's parts. I really enjoy VOCES8's collaborations with other groups, as it really shows their versatility and wide range of musical interests. VOCES8 is truly one extraordinary and special choral ensemble, and quite possibly, the finest in the world.

[@JackStevenson5045]

It was a brilliant performance. What a great mix with Lyyra and yet another outrageous arrangement by our Mr. Blake. This organization is the premiere vocal ensemble of our time. They prove it by demonstrating the skill to blend and balance with any group of singers and produce a unique tone, pure ear candy mixed with musicianship, talent, and intelligence. Bravo, bravo, bravo, again and again.

[@baltasartranconywidemann5129]

For those who were pop-impressionable youths then, and grown-up and sophisticated cluster-harmony connaisseurs now -- perfect!

[@herbertwackerlin6174]

GLORIOUS 🤩 What dense and yet filigrane arrangement by Blake „The Wizard“ Morgan, featuring Lyyra‘s individual vocal colors 😍 At times it sounds like a 14-part piece 😂

[@howardpetty4626]

Blimey! The human voice is a quite wonderful and unique weapon. This is a wonderful rendition of this song. How do these people keep improving perfection 👌 ❤❤❤❤

[@Babbajune]

Superb! Beautiful arrangement, Blake! What a performance! ❤❤❤

[@JulianYvesVA]

Blake Morgan strikes again with these amazing harmonies. Everyone's musicianship is top notch and I always enjoy hearing these wonderful singers! Keep up the good work, VOCES8 and Lyyra!

[@Robert_Herring]

Oh my sweet lord. That's magnificent. Beautiful solos from Anna, sublime performance from everyone. Wonderful arrangement, Blake.

[@jonathancarey3847]

Probably the best vocal arrangement I’ve ever heard! Vocal transitions, key changes, harmonies & solos are 10/10! Blake is an absolute beast!!

[@paulmcgrath552]

I just got lost in the harmonies and timings. Very well done, all of you. Kudos to Blake,

[@_te.Lue_]

美しいハーモニー…!! アレンジも素晴らしい なによりも、皆さんが楽しそうに歌っているのが印象的です

[@Sarahlee-fo3mz]

This is just beautiful 🙏🏻 Missing Molly though. Hope she’s ok and we see her back with V8 soon x

[@jenstornell]

To be a musician and have Voices8 as an instrument through Musio is quite amazing! It's the most clear / in tune choir I have ever heard.

[@giannazaccagni4058]

Such a wonderful arrangement!!!!! I absolutely love the way the voices blend!!

[@jojojam6012]

Nice to see Elli again.

[@Jadar...]

Bravo pour la mise en place (c'est ce qui fait la diffétrence entre un très bonne chorale et les autres) et pour les arrangements, ainsi que pour la justesse des voix (et le travail sous-jacent j'imagine 😄)... Longue vie !

[@gramps2matt]

Something I learned long ago with KZbin check comments the question you have is likely there and sure enough Eleanore is filling in while Molly is out for a while.. Loved all of this from choral quality to stage movements. Of and choice of casual attire. Blake making his mark on music doing us Michiganders proud.

[@karenkiokemeister1718]

What fun to send this tape to Cyndi Lauper! Probably already done! Brilliant, Blake and crew!

[@brucekuehn4031]

A good song can be played many ways. A terrific arrangement is like hearing it for the first time. I remember back when Miles Davis did his version.

[@madnessqueen]

Oh my, the intro when Voces8 join in... goosebumps!

[@paulbirbeck]

Lovely to see Eleonore again!

[@mrfudd13]

In these disheartening times, it is exhilarating to know there are still people who can create such beauty, such beauty.

[@christianpeiser3628]

A wonderful rendition of Cindy Lauper's timeless and moving song! 🥰

[@cpjds1]

Blake’s arrangements are always so good! Also, if you can’t tell by the personnel, his hair length is a good way to tell when the video was recorded :-)

[@techeddie9035]

Love this arrangement. Love Voces 8, and now Lyra, too. Excellent work all around. And thanks, Eleonore, for filling in. 🙂

[@RubenStolp]

Absolutely and utterly stunning arrangement

[@britandlauriebarr2352]

Spellbinding. A Tsunami from Heaven.

[@jj.mounier48]

Magnifique ! merci pour ce splendide morceau; c'est toujours aussi plaisant de vous écouter dans ce répertoire comme dans celui des Byrd, Palestrina ou De Victoria! Continuez à nous faire vivre un moment de bonheur dans une époque qui en a bien besoin ! 🌈

[@mcgitarz]

My day has been eternally brightened. Thank you for this.

[@malc121]

[@heinkerichter1957]

Voces - einfach unirdisch. Sie gehören schon lange zu meinen Favoriten. Und das dann über meine superguten Ohrhörer: Von "mitten im Kopf" bis "mitten ins Herz".

[@owlley]

Blake looks stoked. absolute unit.

[@StanManMusic]

Brilliance all around, from Lyyra to Voces8 to Blake Morgan. Thank you all for sharing this beautiful work.

[@karinb576]

[@sylvettechabot3667]

C est toujours un plaisir de vous écouter ❤

[@SANGLORENSMITH]

[@kimbatteau1]

Wow!! Love this!! Cyndi Lauper in the stratosphere...

[@molliethorn]

That was a brilliant arrangement from Blake! I enjoyed hearing the combo of Lyyra and VOCES8. I can’t wait to hear Lyyra in concert in The Plains, Virginia on April 19. Congratulations on your first collaboration🎉 ❤❤❤

[@ratkillerthe]

OMMG!!! I'm so excited to see VOCES' 2nd soprano again, it is like to see a long time no see friend.

[@cincinnatikidstuff]

I thought it was going to be the Jule Styne Time After Time, but this is a good song too. You had me at that chord where everybody enters.

[@werdsivad1]

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

[@camilemckitrick8783]

This transcended me to elsewhere and I don't want to come back!!!

[@CaresinVerse]

WOW is an understatement! This is what music is at its best. Great harmony, great solos, great arrangement. And Blake…you are awesome! 🎶

[@debraphillips8921]

I truly appreciate all of the various talents that I have been able to watch and listen to. Amazing voices of all of them...

[@gabrieleseitz9169]

It's sounds magic!!! Wonderful!!! I love it!!!

[@asleepbydawn137]

NOT crying. Such a magnificent choir and such a gorgeous performance/arrangement. I'm speechless. This song I was supposed to perform with my best friend and he passed away suddenly. We never got to sing it together. It's a special and emotional song for me. Thank you for this. What a gift you are. That is all.

[@giannifazio990]

Bravi complimenti... arrangiamento ricercato .direi un ottimo lavoro ..che risulta originale quanto complesso...bravi tutti. Voci belle che sanno stare nel contesto generale di un armonia equilibrata che gira tra le parti e che cambia spesso tonalità e continuamente armonizzazione trovando atmosfere spesso molto particolari..bravissimi tutti...

[@yvonnefield9812]

Wow! Blake, that's amazing ❤🎶

[@valerieselau7384]

Awesome voices 😊😊😮

[@dougbeer2697]

The unisons within each part is sublime. Voces8 is clearly becoming one of the most accomplished vocal ensembles of this era. Bravo.

[@cjsebes]

Stunning arrangement and performance. As an audio geek, I'd like to see a behind-the-scenes of the mic use, placement, and mixing techniques.

[@timothymalone7067]

This is just brilliant! Those harmonies are incredible!!!!

[@jacobmccain8794]

That was so captivating! I was hooked on every words, every key change, every harmony, every solo moment! This was just masterful!

[@pmagil]

God, that’s beautiful!! Thank you so much!

[@staffanolofsson8201]
