Haunting chords at the end, perfectly complementing the lyric. I am very much impressed by this chorus. Music is a humanizing, divinizing gift for the world, and these children offer it with enviable spontaneity.
I love this song! You are a special teacher and these are special kids! You are so lucky that you get to go to work everyday and make a difference in someones life. I wish I had a teacher like you when i was in school. I have shown my little brother these videos he is a junior in high school and he is gonna go to college to be a music teacher like you. You and these kids have touched so many lives. Most importantly mine and my families lives. Thank You!
Im really amazed with them, and the one who teach them , YOU ARE THE GREAT TEACHER !! KEEP IT UP , cos everybody has music inside ! GOD BLESS U! hugs - Laura
That was an amazingly excellent song!!! So sad but beautiful. Please, keep writing Fiona. That is MAD Talent!!! Wow. Thank you so much for this beautiful excellent song. I'm sure that with all the tears this song is sure to draw we could replenish the oceans.
i can only say that i wish we had a music teacher so involved with us that we could write songs and not be embarrassed or nervous to show them to him/her. amazing that you can inspire kids to bring out their OWN music, and on top of that share it with the world! props to you dude. props.
Awww, this really is such a lovely song! She looked a bit hesitant at first but she did wonderful. I'd love to have this on cd or to hear this in a sweet movie... just too lovely~<3
I keep hearing this song in my head, so I had to hear it again on you tube. She is VERY musical, obviously the result of another VERY musical person....you are Amazing Greg!!..I see something in the musical future for you two, and by the way, EXCELLENT piano/musical arrangement!!!....Please continue to post from your groups!...You are giving these kids tools for life!
FIONAS BIGGEST FAN!!!! This is like my new favorite song!! I wish I had a chorus like that! now were all "to cool" to participate in anything. It's so annoying!
More raw emotion and natural talent than a lot of signed mature artists could ever aspire to! Beautiful. Once again, PS22, Mr B, & Fiona: Thankyou : )
as a student of the new york city public school system, this brings me to tears because of it's beauty. being in high school, i feel most at home when i am with my a capella group and it would be such a shame if my music teacher was not there to support us and work with us. Gregg, please know you are making a positive, beautiful impact on these kids lives and they will carry the gift of music on with them forever as i did. Never stop your work; you are a saint!
I wish I had discovered you before I lost my choir and job to cut backs. We used to go to contest every year. We always took 2nd of 1st. I also played guitar. I could have used a lot of ideas that I can see in your music and the way you handle your choir. Bravo!
hm, i don't know if it's the audio quality or what, but the harmonies are really noticeable here. i'm enjoying this. it's cute that her words can have such a powerful meaning when she wrote it as a 5th grader. i remember, i used to write songs. i enjoy singing.. i'm just not very good at it. to me, at least. but this is very good, to be honest. i love her voice. it's really beautiful what you did with it, too. i'm enjoying this a lot for some reason, and i keep rambling. x)
Duplex awesome!!! Touching yes and very original. It's not like from some song i heard before..... Hey keep it up fiona.... a young artist is breaking through here woohooo
I'm new to the PS22 YT page (and what a lot I've been mising!).
A question: is there any chance of your adding another verse to your song? It is BEAUTIFUL... but I think you have more to say to us... like someone says a few comments back - you are a deep person. The deeper a person, the more they have to offer us. I would love to hear what else moves you deeply... starting with "the rest" of your song, "Friendship". What about it? Any chance?
I love the song, huge props to Fiona. I think it's also important to give credit to Greg for taking time out of what I'm assuming to be a very busy schedule to arrange it. So he and Fiona both get a gold star, and a cookie of their choosing! ;)
WOW! for some reason Edie Brickell popped into my mind. Maybe I can imagine her singing it... I'm not sure if she even plays piano though. This song is so good! I wanted to change something but I listened again and decided not to say anything because it's 'her' song and not mine.
I just HAD to come here to comment. You gave an AMAZING performance. Your voice is beautiful. i hope you get more solos in the chorus. You really have given me some serious competition. But you know you that your beauty and talent are in your genes (not jeans, lol) Keep writing and keep singing. I am blown away!!! Grand Aunt Angie
She always has such depth...behind those cute eyes lays a lot of passion...she is so proud to have one of her many songs produced by her favorite teacher..I want to thank you Greg for all the hope and aspiration you have given Fiona and the entire PS22 Chorus!
You can really tell that Fiona wrote and sang her heart out with this song. The expressed graveness and melancholy are way beyond her years. Makes you wonder what she's been through. I'm glad she's in the chorus.
Wow... that was some achievement, to get her to share the song and even take the lead... congrats! She did brilliantly - hopefully it was the confidence boost she needed :)
Wow :) What a beautiful song. Well down Fiona. It takes a lot of guts and talent to get up and sing in front of everyone - even more to sing a song that you've written yourself.
Gregg, you have achieved some amazing feats this year. I was thrilled to see the kids perform at the White House and in Radio City Music Hall with Celtic Woman.
However, the moment I read the title of this video, I knew that THIS would be your greatest accomplishment yet...
haha this girl is so cool, its always in the vids :) and a good song writer :) just loved it! :D love to all the members of this awesome PS22 chorus cuz u all are amazing :) and u´ve got an amazing teacher :D
this is such a beautiful song! it is amazing, and i wish i could be part of your chorus, but i am in NY and i plan to stay. lolz i am 10 and in 5th grade, same as them. they are soo sooo sooo amazing! GREAT JOB!!
I love you guy your so talented :)
