  • 2:36 pro.

  • this is good but listen to sgt sonny's version. [with kleenex handy]. 

  • I like the connection between Supernatural and the song...I love both very much, but I'd never think of the combination... It's great!! I cried during listening and watching but don't tell anyone ;) ;)

  • Whoever disliked this song doesn't know anything about music.

  • Wow-- great song. Great show. Horrible video. Way to ruin two good things.

  • @gnutsya U mean 1 

  • got chills within the first 10 seconds. love the King's Singers and this song

  • Just can't get enough of the harmonies in this piece. Talk about being taken to another place...

  • Words fail me... this beauty simply cannot be described as any description would be below its beauty

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! What is up with this WB video?!

  • Such a lovely song.

  • I definitely think the Marianas Trench cover is better. This one is good, but the MT cover just has so much more power and feeling to it.

  • I will not say if this is better than the original Billy version, because they are very different things. They are differently styled and cannot be fairly compared. But i love this video, one of my favorite TV shows. I am a musician, male lead in the school musical without fail, and lead tenor in the chorus. We actually wanted to do this version of this song, but didnt have enough people. But at some point i might post a video of myself singing it, not to show off, but as a hommage.

  • @TheDarkmanization wow you don't sound like a stuck-up arrogant little bitch at all

  • @xCisco1 No, he doesn't, as a matter of fact. I wonder if you're being sarcastic here? I hope you're not, because otherwise you come off as no less of a "stuck-up arrogant little bitch".

  • @Alfred0047 Um, i totally agree with xCisco.

  • @blazingcold22 You're entitled to your opinion. I was just giving my own, and pointing out that insulting others just denigrates oneself.

  • @blazingcold22 You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with xCisco, firstly on his point, and secondly on his use of expletives. It seems to be a sad trend on Youtube video comments that such obscenities are used to reinforce one's point.

  • Such a lovely song

  • How can anyone argue that any version is better than the original version, sung by the man who wrote it and gave the words and the music meaning! This version by the king singers is nice, sure, but nothing compares to Billy singing it because it is his creation!

  • I love this song this is one of my favorite arrangements. I mean the Original is great but i think this version gives the lyrics more meaning . Just how the song moves and stops gives me chills

  • Nice vid! :) Concerning the song, I think I like this version almost as much as the original. Definitely more than David Archuleta's version. But, I gotta say...I feel that the Marianas Trench cover is much more dynamic and beautiful. The versions are obviously quite different--this cover is sang in a fairly straight tone, while the Mtrench version is vibrato. I just happen to think that is better.

  • I find that Josh ramsays version of this song is best :)

  • We played this as our ballad in our uil marching show

  • Is Lawson the soloist?

  • @TJisRad

    I would guess so

    I fits the 1st Baritone range, and it also sounds like him =)

    So I think so

  • ok for the ppl hating on me or if ur gonna hate on me, just wanna say that i was kidding. i wanted to see what ppl would do if i said that. i didnt mean it. peace and love...

  • Comment removed

  • I'm really sorry, but fuck this! GO WATCH THE MARIANAS TRENCH COVER OF THIS SONG! I'm not even joking, it is so beautiful. after hearing the Marianas trench version first, I hate how these ppl sang this -:/

  • @MyP0cky I went to THE MARIANAS TRENCH version. They stink ! It 's awful !

  • @MyP0cky first of all, sure you can go ahead and like mariana's trench, I don't care. But the king's singers are one of the most prestigious a capella groups in the world. They know how to sing this far better than that other band, whether it be to stay in perfect pitch or to make it musical

  • @MyP0cky look a-chording nice cover ´but billy is the best

  • @MyP0cky Hah, i actually love that cover. Better than the original?? OMG, don't fucking eat me. It's my opinion.

  • Just for the record, this is a Billy Joel song. The king singers arrangement is beautiful, but they didn't write it originaly

  • @Desdamona2 Seriously ??

    Is there anyone who didn't already know that ??

  • @71259mark sadly yes

  • omg

  • i like the marianas trench cover of this song.....but i love supernatural, seriously check out the MT cover of this song

  • So beautiful, thanks for sharing.

  • Everytime I listen to this tune I think of a friend that no longer seems to stay in touch :( I miss him terribly much because... The feeling of seeing him at certain few times i get butterflies in my tummy and a sucking feeling... Wolfbeast.. I have not, and will not ever have a friend like you again </3

  • I think 8 people missed the "like" button.

  • @Ancalagon4554 Why else would they listen to it? I wouldn't listen to a song long enough to hit the dislike button if I didn't like it...

  • fav show :)

  • Amazing music, melody, harmony, lyrics...and performance!

    It makes me trilling...

    To wisper into the hear of your beloved...

  • outstanding... the admixture of images and accapella music... the tonality's sweetness balances against the harshness of the life images...

    in every respect: outstanding.

  • are these two guy's caracthers gay? they certainly appear so...

  • @mistatomsom They are brothers who have been through hell and back - literally - and who have saved each other countless times while losing their dad in the fight against evil.

  • @mistatomsom incest it is :D

  • @kyrio5a

    well there certainly is a homoerotic connection between them... I've never had a borther so I don't know much of brotherly love, but they apear as lovers more than brothers....

  • Are the guys in the movie gay? The way they look each other. Hmm... must be gay. Love it! LOL ^^

  • OMG DEAN WINCHESTER IS SO SEXY!

  • The Kings Singers in full flight.

    Kings College Cambridge, that is.

    Check out Kings Singers Psalm 121.

    Mormon Tabernacle Choir Owned by 6 English Guys.

  • @TheEarthgirl61 I don't think any of the King's Singers look at it that way. They have great admiration for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and have performed with the group several times. The same goes for Chanticleer, who the King's Singers speak very highly of.

  • we sang this at a music for youth festival we had the full choir version (sopranos altos tenors and basses and it sounded epic i loved it and being a tenor i got to do the solo whoo epic song amazing version

  • @aipomms I hear you- I sang this as soprano when I was at university also with full voice parts...Still have goosebumps as it was so beautiful . I still sing along when i hear it.

  • I have this recording. this is the Kings Singers.

  • This is not the King's Singers. I don't recognize neither the soloist nor the bass singer here. The King's Singers are far better than this.

  • @kaffelatte2 actually it is the king's singers... my choir at school is thinking of singing this for a concert and our director showed us this youtube video to show us this song. he said it was the king's singers.

  • @kaffelatte2 mmm it is them

  • @kaffelatte2 i don't know how they can be far better than The King's Singers when they are the performers. Just listen again I believe you will hear it next time.

  • I love the kings singers..but if I were to chews to be with you...my director would have kicked me out.

  • I'm the only one who knows? Well, now we're in trouble, because I forgot. And now, no one knows. But then I guess that's how it goes.

  • I love this but i gotta say the billy joel, really version, of this song is wayy better. love the video though, thanks for making it :D

  • this is amazing all the parts fit beutifully the tenor line is what im learning know

  • GOOSEBUMPS! every time

  • I heard this live from the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. That was even better...not the cheesy overdubs and extra tracks with echo-effect, but simple and pure and direct from the heart.

  • @MyMusic0201 this IS how they sound live "simple and pure and direct from the heart", the "echo effect" is because this was recorded in a concert hall, so assuming this was done with overdubs and multiple tracks is a very big mistake.

  • @anon49ymous

    Oh come on, listen closely. The second verse is really more than 6-part voicing. And when you record a small chorus in a room with a lot of echo, it does not sound lilke this. You cannot have the direct sound of the soloist and the echo of the hall thàt clearly at the same time. I do not want to downgrade the wonderful King's Singers, it's just that , having recorded a lot myself, the edits and sound effect are pretty obvious to me.

  • @MyMusic0201 Yah your right and the soloist part. But these guys can actually do this with perfect pitch anyways...like legitimate perfect pitch...and depending on the hall...it would sound a lot LIKE this...I do a little recording myself

  • @MyMusic0201 they record all of their albums in empty concert halls, which greatly enhances the echo effect. That plus a really nice solo mic will get you this kind of sound. No doubt there's probably some reverb added, but there are no structural changes to the sound, the singers would never go for that! they usually never even use mics in performance if they can help it.

  • I'm currently learning the tenor part of several songs by The King's Singers (meaning their ARRANGEMENTS), and this is one them. Simply wonderful! A practically lost art these days.

  • i had to learn the tenor part to this song a few weeks ago. it's an honour just to be able to be a part of a group singing this masterpiece.

  • Im learning the bass part :D

  • Comment removed

  • Simply glorious! It pangs the heart and finds its way into every soul. King's Singers do another great job!

  • This is one of the greatest songs ever. Just listen to the harmony there are some trully beutiful accords. Those who dont get goosebumps listening to this music are tonedeff. Not that they dont like music. They just dont respect and aknowledge a great song when they here it.

  • Simply amazing, we are doing this piece right now for choir at Vancouver Collegium Musicum. This is just amazing, the harmony, everything! It just strikes your heart like BAM!

  • gosh i love harmony... i wish more music was like this and not like the screaming and whining kids listen to now

  • @spiderspider8 .. Everybody has a different taste in music.

  • Yes TheEmmaii....and SOME tastes SUCK just like some people.....

    I agree with spiderspider8 1000%

  • I like this song, I'm justsaying that not all people are going to like it. That doesn't mean they don't know music tho. Just putting that out there.

  • Some people don't SUCK, They're just......Very ....Different?

  • @TheEmmaii ... i dont really think you know what you are talking about, most people that dont like this kind of music, do not have any knowledge in music... therefor ... they *technically* dont know music .... spiderspider8 is right ... you are wrong ...

  • Hm.. If you say so. Let me try and explain again.... People who say that if some people dont like this song, they dont like music.... Wouldn't that be like saying "If you don't like chocolate then you have no taste in junk food"? Am I not right? Just Saying, BTW. :)

  • Comment removed

  • if u dont think this is amazing u dont know music

  • @spiderspider8 Maybe not amazing, just breathtakingly beautiful.

  • @spiderspider8 If you think you are both the last bastion and final arbiter of musical taste, not only don't you know music ... you don't know people and don't believe they should be free to form any opinion in variance to yours ... I would suggest you don't know life at all - but considering you are only 8 years old, you will probably learn to be more accepting as you grow older.

  • @damens I have been studying music for a long time and I respect every musical genre for what it is, expecially when you take the time to look at the musical theory behind it. Sometimes It is supprising to see how musicians of all generas and ages shape their music... I am not an eight year old, and I think that the fact that you think you can "suggest I dont know Life at all" is an unfair and Ignorant observation. I dont know how you can take my statement and believe you are somehow above me.

  • What a great Billy Joel cover....

    The King's Singers do it justice....

    hauntingly beautiful....sublime harmony

  • What is this film in the video?

  • a tv series, supernatural \o/

  • Fantastic.

  • combination of Kings' Singers, my favorite acapella group ever, an amazing song, and my favorite show ever, this video amazes me

  • there's no more intense song than this one

  • amazing.

  • I've never heard a choir piece that calms me down so much. This puts me at peace.

  • Simplemente hermoso...

  • hablas verdad.

  • Bravo for your experience and the residual knowledge, next, try to experience some things to supplement that vast knowledge.

  • Beautiful. Tho as a singer of this style myself I'll admit it's comforting to know that even the vaunted King's Singers have trouble staying on pitch! (they wind up somewhere between a quarter and a semi-tone sharp--which is much better than going the other way). :-D

    Eric Alatorre of Chanticleer can fill a large room with his low C, sans mic...in a forte section of 16-part Gabrieli texture. It's really quite remarkable. Russian groups like Chorovaya have lots of pedal-tone specialists too.

  • Comment removed

  • Download it, load it into a DAW suite (as I did) and loop the end to the beginning, or check it with a pitch plug-in. It ends a good 30 cents sharp of where it began.

  • Fair enough i'll have a check :P

  • it's kay though. they're still great haha. it's 3 minutes with no one to play off of but themselves. They're probably pushing the pitch up to keep from going flat, so it's understandable.

  • Oh, absolutely. I'd never even have noticed if I hadn't been trying to loop the audio for a project of my own. It's lazy, unsupported singers who go flat--it takes real concentration and effort to actually go sharp! :-D

    Honestly, I've no interest in disparaging the King's Singers; it's just nice to know that one's heroes are human too, and have to work at things sometimes.

  • Lol, it's alright. I just think that the show is great, so I felt slightly defensive. ^^;

  • The song is great. I'd have to completely disagree with breaux2000 though. The series has so many deep complications between the two brothers that I think it fits perfectly. -Favorited-

  • Don't take my comment serious I just said that because I don't know how the clip relates to the song cuz I haven't seen the show b4. Lol!!! 4 all I know ur probly right.

  • The only flaw is seeing Supernatural instead of Kings Singers.

  • @breaux2000 Not a major flaw, because the song fits the video very well, methinks.

  • @breaux2000 Did someone try to say that King's Singers are as gay as the dudes in Supernatural? hmmm.... interesting

  • They are absolutely AWESOME! I am a HUGE fan of accapella music, barbershop quartets & especially inspirational.

  • At 2:35 that's a low C! That's amazing! I've only heard one person singing a low C before in my life!

  • Hahah.... man, you gotta get out more! There's a million videos on youtube of some of the most unholy basses on the planet. My personal favorite bass of all time is Richard Sterban of the Oak Ridge Boys. I've heard people sing lower, but nobody with his resonance and power. Check out this for examply.... it's a live recording of the ORB performing and Sterban hits the pedal G (a perfect fouth below low C) around 2:20. It's youtube video: watch?v=w_WVvViDdaM

    Enjoy!

  • Woow you're right! He's singing a low G‼ That's unbelievable..

  • Great, the guy can sing the note. Truth is, it sounds like a really disgusting belch. This is an exquisite low C which not only carries quite well (without mics), but sounds exquisite.

  • He has a mic tho, although its already outstanding, but i bet he wont be able to project without a mic.

  • And again at the end :) I love Stephen's bass :D

  • So, unlike the majority, I watched for the show. : )

    The song is amazing I must add.

    Awesome video.

  • i cry everytime i hear this song just recently my school lost a student and we sang this at the graduation R.I.P Breck Young

  • Just amazing..!

  • A sextet from my choir sang this. they did amazing.

  • This is amazing, so pure <3

  • Same here spongecakesssss.

  • My high school chamber choir sang this song....i loved singing it....very difficult but the outcome was amazing..

  • Well done. And I'm sure very time consuming to edit.

  • this song is beautifulllllllll!!

  • Billy Joel's version is the classic, but this version is very moving as well.

  • this song is so romantic!. kings singers def do it best..

  • this is the most beautiful song... sung by anyone, it's wonderful. by the king's singers, i get chills and i start to cry. they are the epitome of perfection.

  • Well said!

  • It was good...but you can't beat Billy Joel with a piano. Just my opinion

  • you definitely cant.

  • Oh yes you can, and here's the proof!

  • This version of the song holds so much emotion for me - Amazing.

  • There is this A'Capella band by the name of 'Groove For thought" . The kings version is pretty good, but just check out GTF's version. They're really stunning. And I personally like it better.

  • like billie joel's version more

    my opinion

  • i share a birthday with Billie Joel...just 30 years later

  • really ? oh thats nice ^^

  • i get a chill down my back whenever i hear this version of this song

  • What television show is this?

  • Read the info. It's called Supernatural, airs Thursdays at 9 (ECT) on CW.

  • This song is amazing

  • Billy Joel wrote this song, the Kings Singers perfected it!

  • this song never fails to move me. the kings singers are geniuses, their perfect harmony melts my heart.

  • my choir (all women) sang this song at the robing concert at the end of the school year...we made our director cry

  • This is a great version but I still prefer Billy Joel's original from 1983 - beautiful song.

  • all time favorite video. what could be better? my favorite group and my favorite show.

    brilliant.

  • I was blessed enough to sing with the King's Singers, and did this very song with them a few years ago. They are an AMAZING group, and this song is insanely good!! There is nothing that the King's Singers touch that doesn't turn to gold.

  • hahahahaha.

    my brother and his show chorus (priority male) coverd this song and it wasnt nearly as good as this.

  • It's beautiful?

    Is this an existing film? Could someone please tell me the title?

  • It's from the TV-serie Supernatural.. Music by The King's Singers.

  • i think part of it is in the movie walk the line but i cant tell it doesnt show enough.

  • Lmao no.

  • very moving song

  • I covered this song. Watch my latest video.

  • I love it...i sing this song this days...didnt hear version like this :D..am so happy

  • Great job with the vid.

    Love the song aswell <3

  • What is the relevance betweenthe music and the video? I ask because I don't know the show the video came from....

  • The King Singers . . . are the most incredible, fabulous group of singers out there. They are everything any true musician wants to be.

    Love this song. Love this group. Like this show.

  • Interesting that you end with wanting credits for yourself, but no mention at all of the talented King singers group who makes this presentation work brilliantly. Credits should go to the singers, not the person who "borrowed" the video and put it on youtube.

  • were singing this in my schools choir i hope i get the tenor solos they are beautiful

  • great show, great song! nice job on the vid!

  • The King's Singers are the best classical a capella group out there.

  • oh one stone two birds:) one of my fav choirgroup and one of my fav tv series:)

  • we did this arrangement with our youth-choir. i never heard the "original" King's singers version. this is unbelievable good. got me tears in my eyes...

  • This is pretty much the best choral version of this song, ever.

    The end.

  • that is really the king's singers! not midi.

  • I know what you mean... if you're not used to the timbre of adult male counter tenors and their speldidly, completely perfect blend and harmony, it sounds, well... PERFECT! Almost inhumanly so... you should see them live! It's such an amazing experience :-)

  • luv it...we r singing this with our choir ensemble...

    i was on a concert 4 days ago...it was..AMAZING...it was in a very big church...the sound was breathtaking... *goose bumps*
