If you haven't seen the movie, He is singing this after the death of a friend. This song was supposed to be a duet with the guy. He tributed the song to Bob... Bob's family was in the audience. He watched this song a lot for the week after Bob's death until this performance. Fred, here, and Bob are/were former members who had to leave due to medical reasons. Then a few days before this another (active) choir member passed on, Joe. So this song was very emotional for the choir, and those of us who saw the movie... and those in the audience who understood.... RIP Bob and Joe.

After discovering this cover, I cry every time. Then I watched the documentary... Can't keep it together after the poignancy of what this meant to them. Then, shortly after... My mom, my only parent, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She was 62 and just retired. The doctors gave her 6 months to live and she declined after just 2 months. The whole time I couldn't help but want to "fix" her. To "fix" it... Three years later and I can't help but cry when I hear this version. This is what it means to be HUMAN and fallible. This should be taught in high schools because one cannot walk away from the film young at heart" and not be deeply touched.

I've been so lucky to have had family involved in this chorus since it's inception and have had the joy and privilege of following it. It may be the most wonderful, extraordinary and brilliant organization ever formed and sustained in civilization. The story behind this performance is heart wrenching, and earth shattering to the Young@Heart Chorus community as well as the Town of Northampton, where this takes place. When I watch it, I become transformed and transfixed It may just be the greatest performance, greatest rendition, greatest arrangement and greatest community connection of/with one of the greatest songs ever written! What I see in this is almost other-worldly . . .certainly spiritual, in that everyone in that space is vibrating on the same frequency of shared love and shared loss. . . and the depth of caring, along with darkness of despair serenades and surrounds our hearts.

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......like depicted in this video people may be senior aged crippled handicapped having special needs etc but God’s never crippled and the true living God is the omnipotent God of the impossible!!!!! if someone even in their latest senior years can still sing that means God is still using them is not done with them and he can use anyone anywhere anytime!!!!! praise God that despite anyone’s disabilities or weakness God don’t care and he’s no respecter of persons! he can bless anyone anywhere anytime! I am so thankful for the folks in this video and despite their disabilities God has still given them the strength to raise a family and it’s by no accident that they’re here on this earth with us! may we never take for granted such people!!!!! to God Be All The Glory!!!!! Great Things He Hath Done!!!!!! and all hail king Jesus!!!!! the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!! however folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

Tears ran down my face pretty much throughout this movie. My scarf was soaked after.

RIP Fred Knittle and also your best friend, Bob Salvini who was original to sing this with you as a duet but passed just days before this performance...

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. When I think about the context of it, it’s so amazing. Here’s a man close to dying in between his notes that he’s singing, an oxygen tank is feeding him air. The whole “Fix you” song is symbolic to the human spirit.

7 years ago, I commented on this video. I watch it quite a lot because, other than being absolutely beautiful, I can relate to it. The lyrics just pull at my heart strings and then the water works begin. 😭I would love to go to a show sometime. I will be forever grateful to "discover" you 7 years ago and I keep all of you in my heart. Continue being the angles that walk amongst us, please. 🤗💚

This is one of my favorite films, and this scene is one of my favorites. It touches me every time I watch it. Thanks for putting this together. It always makes me feel better. I seriously cannot thank all of you enough. It truly is a work of art.

Just watched this again for the umpteenth time. Never tire of hearing it. And it still makes me cry. I am sure Mr. Knittle Is part of Heaven's chorus.

I literally cry every time I hear this. I don’t care if his voice doesn’t match the speed, if he’s slightly off key, or whatever other complaint is out there. His voice has the lived, experienced, aching quality that matches the tone of this song so well and my heart breaks every time. Johnny Cash vibes all around. Whatever this song reminds you of, whatever heartbreak it resurfaced for you, remember that love is beautiful and every person touched by any version of this song is with you. ♥️

This is incredible! I saw the movie a few weeks ago and just came across this randomly, knew right away what is was all about. I love this, it's one of the most authentic and heartwarming performances I've ever seen. Lots of respect to this guy and all the other people involved in this community.
