Hard Times Come Again No More

[MitanoCat]

This is fantastic!! I am using it to work out harmonies for a stage performance in which we are using the song. Really great job guys.

[patriot4184]

I hope this video never gets taken off youtube. This gives me the chills every time i hear it. If music gives you the chills, you know its Music !

[retoricalanswers]

the lead is so sexy :)

[medicvet]

This is what I love youtube so much for..being able to show talent that otherwise might not get seen. :)

[bockharn]

I think it's a remarkable performance and I am cheered by the fact that this very old song is being sung by young people.

[EarlLedden]

Still waters my eyes. 

[savso]

Acctuly that was reali good

[MorrisseyRT]

The micorphone placement obscures some of the voices so the harmonies aren't balanced and equal in volume. The parts are right and sung well enough.

[hollyg70]

Incredible!!!

[jasonman1515]

I remember when i was in the colt chorale in arlington high school, arlington tx, when we are doing something like you were doing, we will actually go in the bathroom or the hallways and sing. sometimes we don't know if they hold the door open and it will echo through the halls.

[KamiwanMUFFINS]

You guys are epic! I sang this for a solo one time...

[singinwithangels]

Wow! You guys would amazing!!!!

But....you really shouldn't be singing in the bathroom. It gives it an odd echo that throws off each of your great voices. (=

Still...WOW! GREAT job!!

[platka]

Great Job !

[David95928]

Nice job! you might want to check out the Acafellas' version of Hallelujah. It's here on YouTube.

[LeeChgo]

excellent ; as I was lookin 4 Hard Times Come Again No More by Mary J Blige ; you coudl have been on the Haiti relief fund pgm also . Lee

[jnsii]

Good job lads

[cyril758]

amazing guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shegwin]

r u guys in the washroom because ur ashamed of urselves

[neolib42]

It's not that unusual for singers to rehearse in the restroom. Strange as it seems, tiled restrooms are great places to practice. the acoustics make a great natural way to hear yourself sing. I think they did a great job.

[sonofthesea]

Really nicely done! :)

[anneharpen]

This is wonderful. Thank you.

[jenalder]

Absolutely stunning.

[austinite89]

sorry, i meant 4th from the left. in the black shirt.

[austinite89]

i was a member of the group. im 4th from the right. we were called syncopation. unfortunately we are not together anymore. this was a specialty group we sang in back when we went to plano west senior high school. now we are at different colleges but we all are still friends and see each other. except for kareem. he's in the gray shirt. he passed away almost 2 years ago. thank you guys for all of the comments. we appreciate it. this song was our favorite out of everything we sang together.

[rabt1952]

Lovely bit of work Austin. I am sure Kareem must be very proud of this beautiful rendition.

Best wishes from Scotland.

[anneharpen]

You have inspired me to record this song. It is my favorite Stephen Foster song.

[scheutz2002]

Takes my back to high school. That would have been > 45

years ago. We had a male, a capella quartet and sang in

the bathroom for the reverb. I don't remember that we

sounded that good tho'.

[dadanddave00]

G,day I,m still reeling in my chair.That was unbelievably magical I enjoyed it totally I can only hope that the remaining group members are all doing great things cheers from Australia WOMBAT

[manolito88folk]

great!

nice job guys and icredible sound..

good luck.

[billybrooklyn]

I make my living as a singer... and I teach musical theater at NYU... I'm around young voices all the time and you guys absolutely knocked me out. The lead singer - on the right. A little advice. Go for it! You could have a career in music if you wanted one! Good luck, guys!

[newyorkbab94]

3 thumbs up

[jpcelsie]

splendid!...thx....just such a great sweet song....

[lynd82]

[discogirl551]

This was good. I feel bad about the guy in the gray shirt tho.

[dtrinla]

Wow!

Do some more guys. One of the best renditions I have ever heard of one of the greatest songs ever written.

[plllxyz]

excellent

[TaraMurray88]

try for x-factor!! AWESOME!!!! great harmony! and first guy singing great voice!

[easygrip]

the youth of today are all just a running wild in the streets with your hippy hoppy noise, vandalizing the school restrooms that i pay for with my hard earned taxes. you hooligans should be ashamed of yourselves.

just kidding, that was cool.

[practicalmagicke]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, who are these wonderful singers in the bathroom? Where can I hear more. You are so talented....

[j400wel]

[Rick0125]

[cywiringwlad]

If anyone who reads this comment was a member of the group of tremendous singers in this video, or is still in personal contact with any of the singers, could you please provide me with any kind of contact info for them, via youtube messaging. Cheers & thanks.

[LetJusticeRoll]

WOW! Awe-inspiring.  I absolutely loved it.

[ceosis50]

These six young men are indeed amazing and very talented. They are from Plano West Sr. HS in Plano, TX. Unfortunately, they will never sing together again, at least not on this earth. Kareem, the one in the gray shirt with his back to the camera most of the time, passed away in September 2007.

[cywiringwlad]

What happened? Do you know? I am deeply, deeply sorry to hear this news. I was actually interested in having this remarkable group record a song or two for a motion picture soundtrack. I am very sorry.

[ceosis50]

Allergic reaction to a food allergy.

[cywiringwlad]

Thank you much for replying to my comment. What a tragedy. Who knows why such things happen...

[j400wel]

Kareem,name sounds muslim if so my Allah grant him jannatal ferdouc(heaven),this song makes me think but now i am crying,salam.

[cywiringwlad]

What was Kareem's surname? Do you know it?

[purplesheep89]

u guys could make it really big you know. Im not kidding, and i would not say that lightly, believe me. u should see if you could get into singing professionally, if thats possible for you all. five stars, you did that better than a lot of professionals would have done it.

[AkiVioletPlump]

Beach Boys don't have anything on you guys. Well done.

[jakalin1]

WOW. I'm impressed. You guys should put a bit more info about yourselves into your profile.. which city do you live in? Which high school has produced such talent?

I like your talent and your enthusiasm.

Put up some more videos!!!

[SweetNSpicyGal]

You guys are really, really, REALLY amazing <3

You need to promote this vid or something, cuz it could be a huge hit... You sound better than most "pros", for sure.

[djdittmar89]

How do you promote it?

[irvd2x]

I am 54 years old....and these guys just knocked me out! I have heard many versions of this classic...came up with a version of my own that till now was my favorite. These guys are on top of the heap!

[oxmoraficox]

Ey,

Kompliment.

( WOW I am spechless! Awesome it´s very great...best job of this song)

LG

[evansdrummer]

Awesome! I love singing in huge restrooms. The acoustics are great. Rock on guys.

[Logikally]

Ill be honest, when the vid started and i saw 6 young lads in a public toilet i thought it was gonna be a joke, but fair play. Great version of a great song. You got great voices.

[dragonflydonni]

Gorgeous, rich harmonies. Wow!  Please keep singing.

[o0RedX0o]

I love the voices. This is what talent is.

[2ndgeneration]

Nothing better than restromm acoustics and harmonies. We used to do this all the time. Great job guys!

[supernan101]

[romaman17]

Hard Times Come Again No More, this is the version done by Eclipse. We did it for Virginia Tech.

[oddingaa]

They where at the Edinburgh festival this year?

[midwifecat]

lovely and touching, gentlemen. Thank you for sharing.

[drquin]

what arrangement was this?

[coriolan92whybanned]

Yeah, me too , I was almost moved to tears ... Fantastic harmonies ... Great voices... Go on boys! Make us happy again!

[ozboomer]

Your singing has moved me to tears (such a wuss, huh!?) Quite a bit different from, say, Mary Black's version... but I love the harmonies.. Congrats! on a fine interpretation.

[MiidniighttAngell]

Awsom~!

[Niamhje]

I love it ! Comment my song please .. Niamh

[mikeleboeuf]

Well done guys!

[photovampire]

this is beautiful!  The chords are unique, and, yeah....just beautiful. well done!

[longblackveil100]

This is a pre-Civil War song. I'd love to see these guys also do a rap version. Or maybe Reggae--to show how timeless the song is, with all due respect, of course.

[peggywooden]

Wow! Wonderful! Nothing like the sound in a high school bathroom, huh? Not a lot has changed in the past 40-plus years.

[mcgiverwashere]

lol i like how someone tried to come in and you guys just kept singing...

[paigecamerann713]

p.s...whos the hottie on the far right? =]

[paigecamerann713]

this is for real the most amazing this i have ever heard. you guys are WONDERFUL. i love this song and you all pulled it off just amazingly. post some more!

[broadwaybabe99]

wow, you guys are SERIOUSLY an amazing group of guys. this is one of my favorite songs EVER and you guys do it so much justice! ive never heard this version..the one my chorus sang was faster and not as long and different rhythms. i still love it though. i really hope you guys get somewhere whether it be musical theatre or a cd or SOMETHING. like i know my stuff..and this is great. keep going. every single person in this video has a gorgeous voice.

[bbbbbu]

VERY WELL DONE! That takes a LOT of practice! I love the effect from the sounds in the room. That is wonderful.

[romaman17]

We did the same song, you guys sound so much better than us because they're friggin' biased and won't let me take the solo. You should come to A Cappella Carnivella and show us up. Seriously. Where you guys from?

[slrmclaren17]

written down

[vhare]

this is brilliant - did you make up the harmonies or do you have them written down somewhere?

[KathyAJT]

Please GO ON TOUR!!! You are awesome! Waiting to hear you in New Hampshire! What is your group's name?

[slrmclaren17]

we are called Syncopation

[MartellAl]

Very nicely done. Keep it up!

[ahas022]
