This is my absolute favorite Bjork song. So few people get her artistry. This moved me so much. Thank you so much for sharing her music with these children. How wonderful they are, and how lucky they are to have a great teacher like you in their lives.
No way! That was their 1st rehearsal?!? They must really LOVE that song. Did you play Bjorks's version for them before hand? They seem to connect with this the most. Bjork would be blown away by this lovely rendition. Would love to hear the tweaked-up fine-tuned version. Very impressive. :)
This is no doubt one of the most beautiful things I've heard/seen and it's even greater because you can feel their feelings. It's amazing, congratulations and keeping making this grateful job.
Björk should listen to it, she would be really happy.
this one is my fave! Bjork! yes! you must be a good teacher, clearly the kids are emotionally engaged!
are you planning to do some kind of Michael Jackson tribute? it feels like a crossroads of destiny that you are working with these kids that touch so many at this particular time. i imagine that one of the more emotionally charged ballads like "Ben", "Got To Be There" or "Human Nature" would be magical. i'm sure u get lotsa requests, sorry!! Its just what so many are feeling now.
i watched it, beautiful, short and sweet, and it seemed really important to the soloist. I'm glad that the kids could be a part of this healing process that a lot of us are going through. excellent work.
will we get to hear a full length "Ben" soon? was the clip a work in progress?
Amazing! They are so talented and I love to see them really feeling the song. Wonderful job! I got goosebumps listening to them, Bjork would love this!!
Now sorry but opinion in Europe is that Americans are very self rightness - to hear a bunch of kids sing a song by Bjork from Icland is priceless and reconfirms my faith in you US people - for may we forever be friends, Blessings
Gregg, this is amazing. I absolutely adore Björk. Her voice and very complex song/vocal structures (and sound of course) make it very hard to even get close to the original.
My congratulations!
And something else: did you tell the kids what the meaning is behind the words? It's a very emotional and introvert song. Please tell me.
thank you david. we always discuss lyrical content, and this song is no exception. however i doubt the song means to them what it does to bjork, but that's ok, right? ;)
I can't help but be moved by hearing this incredibly talented children sing songs from one the greatest artists of our time, Bjork. I'd love to see her reaction, hearing these kids adding even more beauty to her music...
I heard this for the first time yesterday, and I can't stop listening to it. It's just so amazing and beautiful.... By far the best cover by the PS 22 chorus.
the original song is also among my favourite Bjork tracks.
Be aware that you just planted on these kids the seeds of GOOD MUSIC TASTE!!! now they'll probably grow into liking not only Bjork, but other cool stuff from Bowie to the Beatles, from Led Zeppelin to Depeche Mode and maybe escape from the dictatorship of crap mainstream music from nowadays.
Loopyridesagain, some people take the music deep in their soul. Whatever religion, if any, you are - have you ever been to a pentecostal church? Have you been to a heavy metal Lamb of God concert? Witnessed Sweet Honey on the Rock sing and looked out over the audience? Enjoyed Los Lobos in concert? You should see what happens when music really means something. The fact that these children FEEL THE MUSIC so deeply (and sound beautiful) is what's so exquisite about this choir AND it's mentor.
I've heard tons of Björk covers, and believe me that most of them just make the songs awful, BUT THIS IS AMAZING... i mean the kids are just amazing, and the chorus voices as they multiply make the song more intimate... and intense! I'm sure BJÖRK WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THIS VERSION
Lo dificil es cumplir con todos los objetivos que marca la ley y que te sobre tiempo para intentar algo nuevo con ellos.
No es tan facil con otras asignaturas cuando tienes que mantener la motivacion y conseguir sacar adelante a 27 niños de los cuales uno tiene necesidades especiales, otro tiene autismo, otro es superdotado y tres tienen deficit de atencion. Lo primero es que ninguno quede atras sin leer o escribir, o contar. Es diferente la clase dia a dia que formar un coro en horas de ocio.
Ojo que con esto no pretendo ni mucho menos infravalorar el merito que tiene este profesor, al contrario, me parece una labor impresionante la que esta haciendo y le felicito desde aqui, pero solo queria que vieras un punto de vista desde el otro lado, en el que no es que nos quejemos de que los niños son dificiles, es que no dormimos pensando como conseguir que este escriba mejor o este domine la resta con llevada o este lea sin confundir las vocales...Espero que entiendas lo que intento decir
I firmly believe the world would be a much better place if more students were taught a passion for and understanding of music like this. Bravo, and thank you!
Y que digan que una buena educacion no es importante...aqui se ve la importancia de una buena educacion q forme individuos libres y no herramientas de produccion. Gracias por hacernos soñar con un mundo mas libre. Thanks
I really wish I had this music education when I was in school, instead of singing old, meaningless songs (Mary had a little lamb? C'MON!) taught by teachers who didn't really like what they were doing.
I thank my parents for the fact that they passed on me their passion for music. I can't remember any moment at home where there wasn't any music (i.e. The Beatles, Vivaldi, Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin) playing in the background.
These kids will be forever proud of having had you as a teacher.
i am SO moved and touched by your commitment to these children and to music itself! with every performance i see, i see the dedication and love that has gone into it all and of the hope that is placed into each of these children. if only i would have had this growing up for myself... bless you and all that you do! i am in complete awe and just amazed! thank you for letting me see of the greatness that is still being done in the world today!
sooooo beautiful.. i mean really.. what lucky kids to have such an amazing teacher to let them experience music this way.. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I have always loved this song. But now I love it even more. I have CHILLS! Thank you for this. Good luck to you and the kids. I'll be checking to see what you do next.
unbelievable. thank you so much. i'm really moved. you've done a great service to the kids, to me, to the world and to music itself. kids that learn to sing this way can't go wrong and will keep the trasure in their hearts. thank you all!
I graduated from PS 22 in 1976! This is wonderful Mr. B, I wish there was a music teacher like you there when I attended. I was one of 3 black kids in the school then. I'm touched, proud and insprired by your students and you. Thank you for posting
Do you get into the meaning of the songs? A "state of emergency is where I want" to be is a pretty heavy thought. "Emotional landscapes"... us Bjork fans can barely get it. What say you Mr B?
I love this chorus, more soul that should be allowed in a auditorium.
you are doing more than you even realize for these kids; leading and inspiring them to follow their talents, work together, be part of a team and not to mention exposing them to a wonderful range of music - from bjork to cold play etc. I'm truly blown away.
Congratulations on the work with the kids. You have to let me know how you engage them like that :-) The kids I have to work with seem to be everywhere but in the same room with me!
Hey MR. B, i wanted to ask, have you considered Bjorks Oceana?
It's a Great song for kids, especially to promote the innocent...ness... of young eyes who just see the world as the world. The version spliced with Kelis singing as the earth is a good one too, hunt them down. if you don't know it's basically the Speech the sea gives about looking up from the deapth and it's perception that we're all one. You're doing a great job man! i'm always checking out whats going on with you guys! keep it up
Thank you. This made my day, as a Bjork fan and as a fan of music in general. I love your rendition of a classic song. Perhaps Hope from Volta, next time? By far my favorite song.
hey teacher, well done dude from scotland! nxt stop pj harvey since uv done tori already, seriously tho wish i had u as my teacher wen i was a kid xxxx
to see an impassioned teacher like yourself is brilliant- it is inspiring for myself as a teacher. (art) been a fan of Bjork for many moons and to see the wave of "emotional landscape" pass through the children as they sing is incredibly stirring. you are a great testiment to the public educational system & your students are so fortunate...thank you!!
oh i don't even want to get into comparing the genius that is bjork to these kids. they're doing something magical with the song. we don't need to choose sides. just enjoy both versions for what they are -- beautiful. :)
All these videos are great. You make me remember my own 5th grade chorus class. Way to go Teacher and students. This song is great, Eye of the tiger by these little guys gave me chills.
Oops, I'm such dodo bird - you guys do have t-shirts, I've seen the children wearing them, lol....Is there any way to order a "fan shirt" for an adult?! You Know - That's incredible to play & at the same time - direct. And whose teaching these children about emotion etiquette?! I know all of that is not just 5th grade emotion! I APPLAUD YOU, all the inappropriate songs out there - at a young age they're learning about inspirational music with inspirational words for their inspirational souls!
touching and beautiful, everything i've seen from you. can i recommend a new song? Well, I will. Dust in the Wind, a Kansas song. Think about it would you? Again, you are AMAZING! I'm a senior music ed student, and sometimes it feels like everything i learn is about discipline and classroom management, i forget i'm a musician dealing with music and human emotion. keep inspiring!
THIS - IS - SO -WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing!!

I take the other tack: I love the music, but can't understand the "head-wagging". It's distracting.
I don't think they're connecting to the music any more deeply--it's just bad training by the chorus director guy, lol.
Also, try to take one of these kids and put them in another chorus group, they'd be told to tone it down, lol.
I'm a Bjork fan, so I like the cover...conflicted...

what a treasure.
to see an impassioned teacher like yourself is brilliant- it is inspiring for myself as a teacher. (art) been a fan of Bjork for many moons and to see the wave of "emotional landscape" pass through the children as they sing is incredibly stirring. you are a great testiment to the public educational system & your students are so fortunate...thank you!!

Amazing videos and amazing kids.
May I ask why they wear different colored shirts (like of the kids in one color and half in another) while performing not in the classroom?

oh i don't even want to get into comparing the genius that is bjork to these kids. they're doing something magical with the song. we don't need to choose sides. just enjoy both versions for what they are -- beautiful. :)

Nice work with these kids man. Its amazing what kids can do when led by talented musicians who can teach.

It is very emotive seeing these children singing, and how they feel what is written in the lyrics.
Congratulations very, very much, for your work; but I think this is no a work for all of you.
Only music can make this things happen, and this things happen just because of the music.
Please, please, please, MORE SONGS.

Wow, dude.
How old are these kids?
I mean, I'm a freshmen in high school, and we are no where near this passionate, and on the first try!
And letting them do ACTUAL music instead of "built for choir SATB boring stuff" is a real treat.
Congrats on having such talent!

Oops, I'm such dodo bird - you guys do have t-shirts, I've seen the children wearing them, lol....Is there any way to order a "fan shirt" for an adult?! You Know - That's incredible to play & at the same time - direct. And whose teaching these children about emotion etiquette?! I know all of that is not just 5th grade emotion! I APPLAUD YOU, all the inappropriate songs out there - at a young age they're learning about inspirational music with inspirational words for their inspirational souls!

touching and beautiful, everything i've seen from you. can i recommend a new song? Well, I will. Dust in the Wind, a Kansas song. Think about it would you? Again, you are AMAZING! I'm a senior music ed student, and sometimes it feels like everything i learn is about discipline and classroom management, i forget i'm a musician dealing with music and human emotion. keep inspiring!
