this is beautiful. absolutely beautiful. <3 i couldn't imagine how much practice it'd take to sing this song all together like this. and fuck whoever said the dancing ruined the performance. i think it added to it.
Great song selection. I clicked this video and I wasn't expecting much out of it but WOW. All the harmonizing was great. The crowd was dumfounded at the end! Apparently they were expecting a disney song or coldplay or something. LOL. Once again, you guys are the coolest choir group I have seen in a while.
This is the best live version i ever found of this song. i like it even more than the performances of AC. You guys did an awesome job! By the way I really liked the "Meauw"-harmonies in the end ;)
OMFG lol i almost freaked out at the end because i almost thought the crowd was just gonna laugh and that would be the end. thank god they did though haha because you guys really did justice to a phenomenal AC song. like seriously ACAPELLA?! brilliant!amazing performance guys! :D
So awesome. I love the awkward silence at the end of the song, and then the laughs, and then applause. Way to perform an amazing song and confuse a bunch of highschoolers.
Usually its the teachers in the school, like I know they did a play somewhere based off of "In the Aeroplane over the Sea", and the kids sounded a bit lost in it. Also, the NPR story on them called NMH an acoustic metal band, which was pretty funny.
i guess not everyones heard ac and ac isn't for everyone. i was super stoked watching this it gave me goosebumps as creative as you could be with a cover.
not enough schools have boarder-breaking music teachers. they are usually too bias on classical (which is great music, don't get me wrong). this is an inspiring view into something magical and real.
i love this so much haha! it's so great, i wonder which of those kids picked it. i'm secretly hoping it's the boy on the far left, he gets so into it.
this is so great hahaha
