When he sings with half his voice, he is the most appealing. His richness, power, and range appeals to the purist, but he can live in both worlds, pop and classic. On the one hand, he has the sensitivity and touch that can impart every syllable as it was meant to be; perhaps it is the Welsh feeling of Poetry and sound that makes it so special; but at the same time he can fill the air with a rare power and depth if he needs to. But the mezzo voce ending is brilliantly done.
@griffcats .Tthank you, that just about sums up the amazing talent that is Rhydian. I've always said he's pretty unique in that he's actually an amazing clasical/opera singer who can sing 'pop' convincingly. Terfel, Bocelli, Pavarotti, Domingo et al can't, for all their 'amazingness' in their genre.
As a 100% Josh groban fan to the core i fully admit this version is miles and miles better. This is m least fave josh song, but Rhydian has made me really like it......Good Job Rhyd!!!!
great voice like so many other singers from Wales. Much more power and range than Josh Groban. Still, with this being said, no male vocalist can compare to David Phelps who i believe may be the best of all times.
we all love him, especially my great grandma who passed away on the 4th september 2010, rip grandma you were the closest person i had and i will never forget the memories i had with you.. her funeral song<33333333xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
I LOVE Josh Groban's rendition of this song but Rhydian just made me cry. His voice is so full of passion and emotion. something that Josh didn't have when he made this song . sorry Josh but Rhydian owns this song now
both are baritone. josh is just a lighter baritone. (trust me i checked) i'm no vocal expert or singer but, i think both of them doing this as a duet would be wonderful, or any duet for that matter. rhydian's deeper powerful baritone with josh's lighter reminicent-like baritone....
Josh is a baritone,. Rhydian is a tenor. You have top appreciate the differences between their voices before you appreciate the separate interpretations.
This is more pulled back and not as belted at full volume as Josh does. Which is Josh's mistake with a lot of things - he thinks volume equals passion/interpretation.
I am taking a humanist funeral service this afternoon and the family have chosen this as one of the songs. Have just listened to the lyrics and now understand why they chose it. Fab! Just like Rhydian
my best friend is singing this at an award ceremony,, she's so nervous... but i heard her today and se sounds amazing... singing up an octive... unbelieveable :) an she can hit the high note really well.. she's playing the piano too,,, i love her to pieces... and now i love this song too x
I have tonight returned from seeing Rhydian in the CIA in Cardiff, he was absolutely brilliant, such an amazing voice and a great sense of humour. He performed this and I did fill up with tears as I recently lost a family member but it is a lovely song too.
if u all reely like this ersion you should hear josh groban's version he does it by far the best i think and i think he did it first search him hes a beautiful amazing singer
Hi I am a grobanite through and through and I can still appreciate and enjoy Rhydian's voice. This album is on my i-pod alongside all of Josh's I am just sorry I missed the Rhydian this week in Glasgow. I shall look forward to his next visit.
According to the gmtv website this is Rhydian's new single and he will perform it live in the gmtv studios on 11/3/09. A single? I didn't think Syco were releasing an actual single from this album (which is a shame IMO) but we will see what happens.
I know exactly what you mean. My grandma died about a month ago and when I saw him sing this on GMTV I was in tears. It is a lovely song to think about your loved ones to. x x
My nain died 2 days after christmas 08, and for christmas i bought my mum rhydians cd with this track on. I absoulouty love this song, and it reminds me that my nain is still here watching over me from heaven. Its the words that make you realize, that your loved ones are always there right beside you, no matter what. x
I love this song, always brings tears to my eyes thinking about my Edna. John
