PS22 Chorus "TIME" Tom Waits

[pitachewa]

this is one of the most beautiful videos on youtube

[sherriffnoldie]

You've got to be some of the best kids in the world. Personality. You've got it.

[rhgammonwatch]

did tom waits ever hear this?

and if so what were his thoughts?

[AnnaParva]

watching my favourite PS22 performances from the past years once again... these kids never cease to amaze me! I don't know if that's been asked before but I wonder if you mind people downloading your videos... just for private use, to listen to them at home...?

I'm also going to be a teacher in a few years, hopefully, and my dream is to inspire kids to do extraordinary things, just like you do with singing! your work with the chorus is such an inspiration to me!

[lildino19]

[Milverton68]

I love that song and love it even more now.. many congratulations to these great kids..

[krinkleberger]

[Zendrig]

"And now we're here together

If it can't last forever

The memories will last a whole life long"

I'm sure they will!

I love this perfomance. Angela and Isaac were terrific.

These kids rule, I hope they will get a chance to learn about Tom Waits, a true American treasure.

[AnnaParva]

Could you maybe post the lyrics of this song? That would be so great. :)

This song was sung so beautifully by the kids!!

[fsjb78]

Well, the smart money's on Harlow And the moon is in the street The shadow boys are breaking all the laws And you're east of East St. Louis And the wind is making speeches And the rain sounds like a round of applause Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon His invisible fiance is in the mirror The band is going home It's raining hammers, it's raining nails Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down here

[agreggofsociety]

yup. but of course the kids are singing a rewritten version....

[AnnaParva]

that's why I was asking, I found the original lyrics on the Internet, but I'd love to know what THEY are singing, cause I figured out most of the words, but not all... :)

[agreggofsociety]

i posted the revised lyrics in the video description. :)

[AnnaParva]

Thank you so much! :)

[Mineux]

[monkmellon]

[eimearann]

[Leah1680]

I cant wait for the winter special please message me on youtube to tell me when it is

[amostori1]

Very nice, as always :) Thanks for sharing!

[Nivvers14]

were those different lyrics to Time or was i just not listening properly??

[agreggofsociety]

completely different, though we tried to keep as close to the original rhyme and syllable scheme as possible. the kids rewrote the words to fit the song into the theme of the project that it was being used for. :)

[laurae2667]

hey mr.b my daugther amber loves singing with you!!

[agreggofsociety]

your daughter amber is an incredible singer! and she and the chorus sound incredible here! it must make you extremely proud to read these nice comments about her and the group! congrats!!

[wakingribbons]

absolutely beautiful, as always, my friend! I hope that one day Tori will borrow you and your chorus for an appearance on television or something :)

[cmullinax]

agreggofsociety,

You are *AMAZING*!!! These kids' voices just lift my spirit so much singing your arrangements of my dearest Tori.

Namaste,

Christina

You always get a new crop of young talent to nurture how exciting. I love the CHORUS I am so emotionally connected to the group. I feel like I know you as crazy as that sounds. Im planning my move to the Big Apple in two years its the greatest city in the world because of the people in the city and the Chorus is proof of that! OH and you made me a Tori Amos fan... another convert... I cant believe I never recognized her talent before you covered her music!

[jesicalea]

Wow they sound really good. You do great with those kids.

I bet it's really sad to have the older kids leave you. I'd get so attached.

[HernanEvan]
