Wow! Eric looks so different now! Hope he’s feeling comfortable in his own skin! Jonny looks baritony as ever, and how could anyone forget Chris? One of the most recognizable barbershop basses ever. On top of all of that, Tim. An icon for tenors of any genre. You know what, thats a good way to summarize this legendary group of individuals: Iconic.

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thank you!! All of the guys are doing great! Appreciate the kind words!

[@NikoPorter]

The greatest quartet around. So awesome to see you featuring your guys on the channel, Tim!

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thanks, Niko!! Hope there will be more of us up here too moving forward!

[@Honey_Beef]

We all know Tim can hold long notes, but did he just go from "son" to "of" without a breath at 2:53, switching from head voice to chest voice in the process and completing a 35-second long phrase? That's simply unreal!

[@steveboone1498]

He did that full voice, he didn't use any head voice.

[@Honey_Beef]

@@steveboone1498 the G#4 of "son" is definitely in falsetto/head/mixed/whatever you want to call it

[@ZipplyZane]

@@Honey_Beef I'm pretty sure both notes (the whole phrase, really) are in the same register. It sounded like falsetto to me, but I could believe a very heady mix.

[@DavidKrautscheid]

tim never sings in falseto cause he just dont have it its just full voice

[@DavidKrautscheid]

@Jonathan K tim says himself that he never uses falsetto and thats the truth.

[@loweffortproductions1985]

I ain't a Christian, but damn if I didn't consider converting after hearing that beautiful arrangement

[@couragecoachsam]

There’s a concert hall in Heaven for Vocal Spectrum and I plan to be there

[@alexcadwish]

What I really like with Vocal Spectrum is how clear each voice is. I can hear each one at the same time, and it creates a wonderful melody!

[@oldguydoesstuff120]

So many comment about the wonderful harmonies - and they are great. But those unisons! That's really hard. Just right into perfect unison.

[@jakeisthedoctor2308]

What a performance! 2:35 and 2:43 are my fav bits!

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thank you!! I love those parts too!

[@earlnation720]

So..... I'm the last guy to the party here. I have LOVED vocal spectrum sound for years, and then recently found Tim's channel. I had no idea he was in that group. 😬 Makes sense why he is so damn good.

[@Mac77_]

One of my favorite pieces of Vocal Spectrum’s!!! So glad to hear it updated.

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thanks so much!!

[@mainepurple1974]

No matter how many times I hear this song The ending just puts the biggest smile upon my face You guys by far is my favorite barbershop quarter male group I just adore your voices so much thank you so much for uplifting us all

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

WHOAH! I did not expect that ending. Tingles from the top of my head to the tip of my toes! Well done

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thanks so much!!

[@michaelact]

Yeah, really love chordal surprises like this one!

[@jelleverstraaten9662]

Yes, more christmas music! Screw presents under the tree, this is what we need! Also interesting to end the earlier cadences on a minor, not what I expected, but a cool twist. It definitely makes the last one more satisfying

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thank you!!

[@darinheninger]

That ending though! Wow. Amazing.

[@wheeler116]

Yes! They’re back

[@TimWaurickMusic]

😀

[@joshflieder]

Wow, these 'Vocal Spectrum's guys seem really good. They should try competing

[@DavidKrautscheid]

um they have won several gold medals at the barbershop ccompetitions

[@steveboone1498]

They won the college quartet championship in 2004 and captured gold at international 2 years later beating out heavily favored max q.

[@RobertDeanWells]

Dayum, tears and tingles down my spine. Fantastic work, gents.

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thanks so much!!

[@optionaljazz]

That bass is insane! Great work guys!

[@TheDavidStephens]

A gorgeous surprise!!

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thanks, Dave!!

[@barbershop16214]

This is one of the first songs that I was ever introduced to barbershop with! My cousin sang it in his high school quartet, then later taught me the tag! Thanks for posting this, and it was great meeting you guys in person, true GOATs! 💈

[@BubaLabinski223]

Do you know what Tim that’s why you guys are members of the AIC youse guys deserved them gold medals, man that was so beautiful I love the tag I love the key change the key change was cool that is an awesome arrangement and no Tom Dick or Harry quartet. I don’t think I could do that that’s champion material. I’m going to share this with all my barber shop brothers.

[@MrLancealot]

OMG that overtone in the last chord is heavenly! Good job you four!!

[@tobiaslackner7694]

Tim is such a sweetheart, love your singing and Vocal Spectrum is amazing

[@Rowuk2024]

We now know what child this is. The offering is simply WORTHY! Thank and God bless you!

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thank you so much!! So glad you like it!

[@HarmoniChris]

That ending was so clean! Everything was clean!

[@tysauce1986]

The timbre and resonance of that bass!

[@unobrunoboi1499]

I always love a good resolving chord at the end especially when it's melodic and high like this one. Overall very impressive ʕ⁠ノ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠ノ

[@TimWaurickMusic]

[@nestor4895]

Perfection.

[@TimWaurickMusic]

[@anthonyewurum7402]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Thank you Tim. You listened to me! Thank you very much for this

[@ajbp95]

Wait, how have I missed that you're a part of Vocal Spectrum?! This explains a lot why I love your channel!

[@rustythebard]

Great video! Your videos are breathtaking (literally), and have inspired me to form my own barbershop quartet with my friends! Keep on being great!

[@TimWaurickMusic]

That is awesome to hear! So glad you're singing. I'd love to hear your quartet!

[@rustythebard]

[@meganhelvering9578]

This is absolutely beautiful! The 4 of you are such a spectacular quartet 💖 Thank you for sharing this with us, Tim! And HUGE congrats on 30k subscribers! 🙌💖🎶💖

[@johnathancostello506]

More Christmas carols please!! Well done!

[@masonhunt7309]

I love how after years of hearing you guys perform, I am still blown away every single time. Way to make that tag shine!

[@dorothymartin6489]

Beautiful

[@aaronmccullagh6421]

My all time favorite quartet singing one of my fave carols. this is amazing. Well sung guys

[@EricCuiffo]

the talking in the background at 1:10 will end me BUT OTHERWISE BEAUTIFUL

[@stephenweigel]

What an absolutely spectacular arrangement and performance!

[@david.ridenhour]

Well this was just fantastic. Good job fellas.

[@vegacore101]

Amazing job Tim, And Vocal Spectrum

[@drizzy4566]

Holy cow… what a gift you guys have. Just saw you guys at UMSL. Praise God, you guys rock! Beautiful and the ending is angelic!!!

[@millertimemusic3565]

WOW! That ending is pure goosebumps 👏 👏👏

[@cathywaurick9618]

One of my favorites from my favorite quartet!!! Beautiful!!

[@drewjohnson6351]

great song to sing love it

[@SolarenDerm]

Bbmaj7#11(no5th) (Bb2, D4, E4, A4) => Amaj (A2, E4, A4, C#5) for those who want those last 2 chords. [at least I think that's what it is, feel free to correct me! Had to figure it out once I heard it]

[@SolarenDerm]

Absolutely

[@Rainmaker65]

So many words to choose from, but I don't feel any are adequate to describe this song. Arrangement was spot on, sound was awesome, and when I grow up, I want to sing like Tim or Chris (Bass?). In particular, thoroughly loved the ending.

[@johnblakeH]

Just...wow. So good to hear VS again.

[@masterbridgemaster1]

My favorite group ever!

[@Jet1ranger]

Wow! So clean and smooth!

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thank you!!

[@realguitarjayde]

[@TimWaurickMusic]

[@NikoPorter]

Also, 2:00

[@TimWaurickMusic]

You know how much I love 9th chords!

[@DavidKrautscheid]

in which church was this recorded..i am intrested into the organ

[@littlenewbs7295]

Jesus Christ dude. Literally Jesus

[@madisondavis9268]

Tim, there is something in the audio at 1:11 and 1:15 that I think got left in by accident. Wanted to let you know in case you wanted to take it down and repost

[@madisondavis9268]

That being said, I think this is my favorite song from y’all’s VS IV album. Absolutely insane tag

[@TimWaurickMusic]

Thank you! We'll leave it as a fun little Easter egg. 😬🤣

[@stephenweigel]

I hear it! A high little note out of key?

[@makeshiftquartet3071]

@@stephenweigel dialogue of someone in the background. I think a kid.

[@granthastings9506]

It is possible to purchase the arrangement?

[@mccainjay]

Nice Too much camera work. It was a bit discombobulating and distracted from the music itself. 🤷‍♂️ sorry

[@compachiramasama9595]

Then close your eyes. It's not like they are hopping around a stage...

[@mccainjay]

No, they are not, but the video is. Isn’t one of the reasons behind a video is to See it, as well as hear it?
