If it is possible to become addicted to a song, I have become addicted to this performance by SIM. My first impression was that it was too slow and the video was such poor quality that it was annoying to watch. So I began to close my eyes and just listen. I quickly realized that the slower tempo was exactly right for a prayer, added to the reverence and made it easier to focus on the poignant lyrics. The balance and hauntingly beautiful harmony are exquisite. Kudos on a great performance!

this is the best recording i can find on youtube, and ive looked at almost all of them. you guys are just exceptional, keep up the great work

they need to watch their vowel modification on some of the words, but everything else was perfect. check out The Citrus Singers' rendition of this song, its a good example of the amazing dynamics you can do with a bigger group.

Okay the quality is bad. But i close my eyes and got lost in this beautiful song. I think the slow tempo is perfect for this piece. Amazing song.

This thing that amazed me about this is that the recording quality was quite bad with the background noises, etc. but was still so beautiful. It shows that the music is the most important thing, not the packaging and trappings.
