Sublime. I keep coming back (year after year) to hear this recording of David. How blest he is ... and we are since he and you shared this recording. Thank you!

I can appreciate his artistry, dedication and performance skills. YouTube audio probably doesn't do justice to his voice. I imagine live performances are much richer. There is a slightly strident quality to his upper tones. The world is rich with great singers: denigratihg one doesn't elevate another. Listen to the ones who move YOU.

Two years later - and it still does it to me!

@Unbreakable0121 I agree with you; his voice is at times quite unpleasant and nasally (just a personal opinion). However, if I were a tenor (unfortunately I'm a baritone hahaha), I would love to sing this song. Beautiful melody, and his voice does suit this song definitely.

he is quite clearly talented and gifted, but there is something about his voice that is not pleasant to me. Still, it is very obvious that he does have a remarkable gift.

...the Captain smiled and told them, "Silence is not the absence of sound but the absence of noise"..."and then they asked "Then, Captain, what is noise ?"..."Noise, my friends, is the sound that has no added value"...but none of them asked what silence was, besides an absence...for them, silence was evident - the Captain thought, tired - but he knew that for David Hobson & Friends, silence, more than the absence of noise, was rather the presence of a sound with added value... whatever value :-)

This is art; beautiful art; vivid, soul-filled art.

@noellaross1 - I couldn't agree with you more. I just keep coming back to see and hear periodically ... and be entranced. (Thank you David!)

Lovely song and he was singing very well back then.
It's a joy to be able to view this video... over and over again! It is more beautiful every time I hear (and now see) it. It is a "gooseflesh" experience for me.

Hobson's own composition, recorded at the Melbourne ABC studios, and screened 30/8/99, just after the launch of the CD Inside This Room, a collaboration between the two Davids (friends since schooldays). The following year ITR was translated into Italian as In questa stanza, for Hobson's first solo album French & Italian Arias. Either way it's beautiful, but it's always special to hear Hobson sing the original version in concert - as he did earlier this month in Melbourne - we never tire of it.
