  • I have to agree with the other criticisms posted already. The fact that this is a live performance is no excuse for the sound problems. The setup and the leveling weren't done very well. The Orchestra, percussionists, and chorus were superb, as well as the leads. The Baroque Flute/ Recorder part was definitely not real, just poor midi samples I surmise. Whether they couldn't find a musician to fill the part or what, the replacement for that important solo fell short. Thank you for posting!

  • We tend to over analyze things instead of enjoying the beauty of it. I really don't care about the whole "new language" part, or how many vowels and such. Music is about "sounds" anyways, half the time we don't hear or get the "message" of a song, but we love it, why? Cause it "sounds" great!!!! Do you really care about the lyrics to most pop songs or hear them correctly? This piece is simply crack for the ears, stimulates the senses!! That's what it's all about when it comes to music!!

  • That wasn't a flute!!! Nooooo!! Why can't you get a simple flute instead of spoiling a great sing with an electronic flute. Ruined the performance!

  • @EaiteRandjamee I would have liked the woodwind to have been played as well. However, fuck you ( : Create or be part of something one tenth as beautiful as this in your lifetime. By all means.

  • The greatest songs of our days!

  • It's no less than amazing that a song "with no lyrics" can communicate such a powerful message ..... I love it !

  • @ImaUbong this song is made up of jibarish words Karl jenkins wanted this to sound like tribal sounds so he made these "words" it is also to get more vowels into the words and to singers the vowels is the most inportant part

  • well done...USA

  • I don't like the flute solo .. in this performance... if you listen the Karl Jenkins Live Flute's solo.. you will see that, that one is a hundred times better

  • For crying out loud,can someone interpret this song for me in English!! Or tell me is it a gospel song? Cos I'm in love with it.
