UCLA Awaken A Cappella sings Alumn Sara Bareilles' "Many the Miles"

[Banaramahama]

um....

[mrrealtime]

can no one record a decent version of this? Why are there only these crappy hand held camera versions available?

[okonh0wp]

how long ago was she a member of the ucla awaken group? did she finish up college and get a degree or did she find fame a little earlier than that?

i wonder if any of there a youtube video of her as a member of the group

[JamieLynnFrick]

I love all your songs you all cover! Great job! you sound amazing!

[LuvHopeDream]

This group is really good vocally. But boring to watch.

[katiefershadybaby]

you are all really good. The only thing I would say is that you should all wear something that goes together. It would look a lot more professional. Like get really dressed up. It will look really good.

[Shimahou]

And once again, Sara gives us a glimpse of her charming sense of humor.

Awesome rendition! Okay, I'm a huge, huge fan of Sara Bareilles, and I'm a huge fan of A-Cappella music. Putting both together... it's like musical heaven. Really, what better instrument is there than a quality human voice?

Amazing, amazing, amazing performance. Keep up the great work!

[ManonoVT]

this is great!

you al have great voices!

keep going with it

[ForeverSingle21]

i love jessica's voice!

[wellstiscool]

excellent rendition of an excellent song. you guys did a great job. :)

I think this is one of Sara's more underrated songs...she is such a versatile singer and I love the gospel/inspirational tone of this song.

[ebyang1987]

many the miles is great..

[maxdoggie628]

you guys sound awesome!

[fhsoccerchic]

VT soulstice is much better

[client0839]

doubtful...

[Bruins1988]

yeah checked that out- not true.

[Bruins1776]

yeah Awaken don't listen to "soccerchic"- that's why she's a soccer player and not a musician :)

[antionette93]

this is abosultly amazing

[qcait]

Are there any videos floating around of Sara performing with Awaken?

[PHollens3837]

Exactly what I was interested in.

[AwakenAcappella]

there might be somewhere, but we don't have any- sorry about that

[vc1188]

I would love to see her performances with Awaken too! I do have the original, original version of Gravity that UCLA Awaken recorded with Sara in 2004, though.

[musicisallmylife]

amazing performance!. i'm impressed. you're great!. ;))

[iDance1234]

those were some amazing soloists

[amberelizabethh]

i could listen over and over and over...

[intriguedbyhope]

[kiellakiella]

do you have your version of this song recorded, guys?

[AwakenAcappella]

[Heynowrcp]

[diannee]

[kp1832]

holy shit this is awesome.

[duhbell]

"And lastly, Matt's carpet does match his drapes..."

Well played.

[liddiesing]

you all sound amazing!  and I can't believe Sara said all that stuff in the note, she seems so innocent. but it's nice to know she's a normal person :) She's incredible!

[AwakenAcappella]

lol sorry but the note was actually improv'd on the spot- Sara didn't say any of that. :-( Just trying to clear that up, but that's the mind of Matt, one of our resident theater majors.

[realtoki]

that is hilarious

[topsteppas]

u guys just sound great!!! great accapella...and thumbs up to the two solo ladies=)

[mnysvr]

Great little story, but sorry wrong song.

[Emerald21Penguin]

The beginning was very funny but the singing is where the magic HAAAAAPPENS! Sara must be proud :D

[SaraBareilles1]

love you guys,and love you Sara!

[jp10r89]

AWESOME!

[brianaberrymusic]

hell yes! this sounds amazing. i'm in the all girl's group at nyu, the cletfomaniacs. we have debated doing this song a million times! you guys did it justice.

[fish0matic]

the soloists are really good :)

[SaraBareilles1]

your good, but Sara is still better,sorry im a fan of her(her biggest fan)!

[Bruins1988]

that was a stupid comment. Sara rocks and so do you guys!

[leggyhypotamoose]

sara bareilles is hilarious. i've watched her youtube videos where she spends ages getting the audience to really have a truly great time.

wish i could watch her live but you guys are equally good. i worship all of you. the background was a bit too overpowering though. still enjoyable! both the soloists were good.

[SaraBareilles1]

omg same here,but i have been to a couple of Sara Bareilles' preformences before and she is really funny,when i got my autograph from me she told me the most funniest but cutest thing ever,she is a real sweetie!

[royalfan24]

Wow! You guys rock. Fantastic song, too!

[amyleecrazedfan]

Wow! That was amazing! I haven't heard a better a capella rendition of a Sara Bareilles song, yet. They stayed in key and everything! I'm.... astonished

[jonnyeeds]

[rapidlyfallin4u]

[arhar001]

Hot, Hot, and HOOOOTTT!!!

[chippednailpolish124]

you guys are amazing. nuff said.

[Heraldine12]

wow- seriously I love how you both changed up some of her riffs and totally made them your own, and the extra lil add ins worked perfectly! Great job Awaken!

[SaraBFan]

ok I love Sara Bareilles, and I love you all a lot now too! That was honestly gorgeous! The soloists and the background vocals were all great!

[JJeffreys45]

Never heard the song- but brilliant job!! :-D

[aeasa88]

"i never slept with jimmy... ew ew ew"

"screams like an 11 year old girl at a hannah montana concert"

and

"his carpet does match his drapes"

i didn't think i could love her more until i heard that. so quotable. hilarious. and a great singer too. obvi.

[Bruins1988]

I love Sara Bareilles!
