Just heard this for the first time on Pandora. So, naturally I checked YouTube. Yours was the first I clicked. First response...OMG! Second, I WANT TO SING IN THAT ROOM! Third, I want to sing with you!. Fourth, awesome arrangement...hymn-like (no surprise: Billy Joel, Springsteen, Elton John, Freddy Mercury ALL confessed to going to hymn chords all the time). Simply beautiful, thanks for posting!
Great! Brings me to tears each time I listen. This song by Billy Joel never made it across to Europe and so the choir version never did either. I'm going to do it with my choir...that is when I no longer cry when I hear it! Thanks!
Here is a veritable banquet for the ears! Don’t look at the icon picture. It’s deceiving. If this lot were hanging around on a street corner, you’d probably call the authorities! This is truly wonderful. Angel’s voices dressed ‘Street-Cred’. I hope Billy is proud of you!
This is a stunning performance of this wondeful song, without doubt the best I've ever heard. You guys are brilliant, I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stuff. Thank you.
You guys did justice to the arrangement. Very nice blending and your phrasing is excellent. You guys 'get it.' Very enjoyable! -this from a director/singer.
so I was in chorus today... and he played this :) like you guys! I know for a fact cuz no one else blends as well as you and he said that it was like a community choir kind of thing. He also had us guess like your ages and stuff by just listening. omg I'm so glad I found this!! I just put it on my ipod :) keep singing. You're all amazing. I subbed btw
Fantastic, amazing!!! Very very very well done!!! I came to know this song because it's included in the wonderful movie "Save me". I just LOVE this arrangement!!! Guys, you're great!!! Congratulations from Napoli... Italy :-)
this is DEFINITELY the best version of this on youtube! you guys are absolutely amazing. perfectly blended and balanced. the dynamics are gorgeous as well. thank you for this!
I find your sound to be breathtaking. Billy Joel is a wonderful entertainer and writer; but you just made this song to be the best I've ever heard. Such wonderful talent and such passion in your performance. Not sure what you'll do after graduation, but keep singing regardless.
lovely job guys! i looked this up because my choir will soon be doing this song. by far, my fave performance of this song on youtube. keep up the awesome work! ^_^
have ever heard. some of our high schoolers sang this song for one of our concerts, so now i'm in love with this song lol. and you guys just are...PERFECT.

This is perfect! Honestly, the balance is smooth and transitions are timed perfectly. The blending is excellent!
I usually hear choirs perform this song, and they always lack balance--one part sounds louder than the other.
Good job!
