8:45 Imagine being the person in the crowd who started that ... euphoria for all involved

[@crusaderk183]

Having stood in such a crowd on different occasions and different concert, I can say that euphoria doesn't even begin to describe it. Even watching that part makes me smile and silently sing along each and every time. I love how, with each time I listen, I can just point out the moment that the guy starts it and the moment it is picked up by almost everyone else.

[@letsplaypetrus4802]

I once started a line for people to wait for their meals, but the meals won't come until an hour. I justed wanted to read what the kitchen was serving, two of my friend followed me, because they wanted to know what I found interesting and then the rest of the people at this area thought: Oh, there a people waiting for their meals, quick get in the line or I have to wait for two hours or so (there were 1400 people and only one kitchen). I can tell I was not very pleased about this situation.

[@josh_aidan]

There is no "one person" who starts it, the crowd is an entity at this point. Same thing happened at the end of his concert in the same festival back in 2013. I was part of that "entity" and man... goosebumps & happiness :)

the best part imo on this concert are the trio drummers behind everyone else. Those guys are just golden. They deserve an oscar idk. Maybe im a drummer enjoyer and i love orchestral drummers. They feel like the heart of the event.

[@BirdsandGhibliFan]

This song is already so beautiful and well-orchestrated, but this entire live version, especially with the children’s choir and chanting starting at 7:00 makes this song twice as beautiful. I almost started tearing up when I heard the chorus for the first time, not going to lie. 🥹 It’s very haunting and profound yet awesomely matches the triumphant spirit of the studio version as the song comes to an end, which almost feels like it could fit right into a movie’s score and soundtrack. In fact, the choir singing reminds me of the children’s choir heard in the climax scene of one of my favorite animated films, “Castle In The Sky”, which still gives me chills sometimes when I watch it. I so wish that Woodkid would release this live version as a listenable recording someday.

@@mralec1742 i have seen Orchestra conductors do it, granted the Orchestra was the Main act, not another musician. To make it happen at this scale the conductor had to talk to Woodkid for a second to ask if he even wanted that, than he would tell the orchestra where in the song they would start, get everyones attention and set in just at the right time. It probably is possible, but who knows if Woodkid would have wanted that? That was truly a special moment - the singer and his crowd - maybe its best to keep that as minimalistic as possible.

[@cacahuete1456]

@@lenaleigers7644 It means "I missed you so much !" ;)

[@PoofySgaming]

i mainly listen to such different "types" of music than this, but man. Woodkid has something so special about him. Its the fusion of styles thats really awesome about him.

[@luphoriabutmightchangethis9582]

Great profile picture and great flashback to an awesome song.

[@man-wv8xj]

most songs nowadays don’t even have an actual band playing the music anymore and just have some computer sounding stuff, meanwhile this man brings a fucking orchestral army on stage with him. what a god

[@superzallp97]

Decided to look up on Woodkid’s music after learning he was the composer for the 2024 Olympics & Paralympics theme song. Damn, this dude’s a champ!

[@OnlyRufie]

The power of the unison at the end. I don't know why but I just wish I could be part of that and experience humanity at it's finest! Remarkable!

[@OnlyRufie]

How crazy that I revisit this 4 years later, see this comment, and was already looking at getting tickets for his world tour!? Going to a different country to see you WoodKid, I cannot wait to be changed!!!

[@justfresh179]

What I love about this too is that hardly anyone is on their cell phone. Yea that’s a boomer thing to say but still people are legit living in the moment and they all become the orchestra and the instruments

[@iwanthdddvideos]

so true.

[@wanyekest6969]

Dude

[@DoctorDarlingTTV]

I think the phones thing is a more legit complaint at concerts than the overall ‘kids these days be on that phone’ complaints. If someone is in front of you on their phone it’s directly interfering with your vision and ability to see what’s going on. Once your behavior is negatively affecting others it’s really a problem. I’ve had to start avoiding more popular concerts because I am so tired of watching the stage through people’s phone screens in front of me. I wanna grab & throw their phones.

[@iAmLoVeDjEsSi]

Noticed the exact thing!!!

[@emmat3691]

You know its an enthralling concert when only 10 people have their phones out

[@tone6895]

In my entirely life, no song has ever made me cry out of PURE EUPHORIA. This was it. Fucking. Masterpiece.

[@brozz2784]

This should be the End of this f*** Coronavirus soundtrack

[@natalieorlando6583]

And if its gets worse you play golden age at 135 at midnight.

[@lucyhernandez8168]

February 2021. People have vaccines. these same people think that they are shielded against the virus and they'll never be infected again. (Even if we are immunized, we are still at risk, not at the same level, but we could still be infected, but seems like people is tired and fed up with all of this and just they wanna live their lives, going to restaurants, parties, not wearing a facemask and a long etc etc etc.... It is understandable: It's a year now since this s**t started 🥺🥺🥺🥺)

[@floompy7188]

yes

[@carljoannette9785]

Almost a full year later... this comment didn’t age well

[@Smeuh44]

Actually went yesterday to Woodkid's concert in Nantes. First one after the covid shit, without mask, full zénith, and the crowd kept singing on and on on this last track. Nobody wanted to leave 😅

[@Senemali01]

Am I the only one who is obsessed with the part from 3:03 until 3:47 , I'm still shivering ? all the strange effects in the music and everything

[@cathedralsedm]

No your not

[@crackheadedpeanut]

I feel like we are getting worshipping God instead of worshipping Satan and I absolutely love it.

[@Destinylover14]

you can tell that woodkid truly loves his work and sharing it with others

[@obendelaurencig7706]

HUMBLE. probably one of the few artist nowadays.

[@TheTransitmtl]

Obende Laurencig Really. Then you need to stop listening to mainstream music.

I arrived so early, the boy hasn't started running yet.

[@achildfromafrica5456]

The boy has always been running.

[@mystscot9814]

Love the original track, took me several years later to find this version. Blown away would be an underestimation. The percussion is brilliant, cannot help but tap my fingers at this glorious rhythm playing, having the orchestra and choir just adds completeness to my ears and eyes. Thanks for having it on KZbin.

[@jamezlp4504]

How is no one talking about how his monitoring headphones fall out of his ears mid show and he keeps on going like it's nothing

[@TheElectroclassic]

He's taking them off to hear the audience.

[@aur1elia]

And what I loved is the audience didn't take out their phones and start recording, they were truly there to see him, not to record him.

[@insertname941]

Me too

[@Ellemen_LMN]

Deli Spice Vlogs There is nothing wrong with capturing the moment.

[@annaturba]

Ellemen The moment is captured, as you can see. No need for everyone to do it themselves.

[@rocketman3285]

From what ive seen from people, they only record this kind of stuff to brag to their friends, not to reexperience the moment. This audience however, truly cares for the moments with him and I respect that kind of audience.

[@pajo5014]

[@lategam3r652]

That was on my birthday and I went there

[@emilavetisyan8148]

dyinglightfan lucky you

[@uselessutensils1754]

You're very lucky!

[@pinklemonade6121]

you lucky soul🙌🏻

[@ShamWerks]

7:26 "vous m'avez tellement manqué!!" ("I missed you so much!!") For some reason this makes me cry everytime.

[@Sakura-vs2zk]

you know what's beautiful about this whole video? You see people enjoying the moment. There are just a few with their phones filming. Incredible!

[@andresbf830]

i think it is closest feeling of heaven I will experience here on earth

[@tomajortom]

I swear this kind of powerful performances are the reason why I'm still alive. Thank you for music.

[@ieradossantos]

7:40 The choir smiling and singing at the same time

[@ZeroiusProduction]

Man, the song in itself is so good, but with a big ass crowd it makes it ten times better

[@charitylewis1995]

to quote a wise man: “chills. literal chills.”

[@alexarendell]

I need to see him live SO BADLY

[@oopsididitagain2674]

The way there was no verbal communication, just the lyrics and that last mercy, this video is my safe place

[@edinogogg]

There are people, who think that all modern pop music is rubbish. It is not true. Great music still exists and is still made.

[@TheFarsethi]

That was an amazing crowd reaction. Like a huge choir. Regardless, I really wanna have a studio record of this version. The extension works really well.

[@WhyteDem0n]

This performance gave me goosebumps the entire time. What a stellar display from both the performers and the audience!

[@wilfredhebronmoses970]

Need Orchestral Pop to become a more mainstream genre

[@Pennywise-hn5qw]

Im a free person...this song fits in my life.

[@Patchy_AK]

I don't care if it's eleven minutes long I'll replay it until the replay button is broken!!

[@MandieBellamy]

the first time I saw this video I got goosebumps all over my body, and today I literally cried! I mean, I don't know how to explain what's the thing with this video but it's something really magical.

[@immrsg]

I experienced the EXACT same thing!

[@itsBritniBitchNUM1]

SAME!!!just a euphoric feeling.

[@roadstergarage9914]

I wasn’t prepared for this. As soon as the first bell sounds, I couldn’t stop crying for 11 mins. So beautiful

[@brandongabriel6197]

OMG SAME HERE! I just heard this song 2 weeks ago and this version is something unexplainable! The complete joy on woodkids face when the kids start singing is awesome!

[@davestoker6233]

I was there and I got many goosebumps throughout the evening and definitely wept a few times.

[@Em-qf9kg]

i feel.... spiritually moved

[@monikaskowera-mneimneh9371]

Everything sounds better with an orchestra :)
