Ok, just to clear up the whole Spizzwinks vs Wiffenpoofs thing, these are indeed the Spizzwinks. The way a capella works at Yale is that there are a bunch of a capella groups for underclassmen (freshman-juniors). The Spizzwinks is one of these. Then, as a senior, Yale male a capella singers can audition for the Wiffenpoofs, an all senior group. The soloist here, Sam Bolen, was a Spizzwink for his first 3 years at Yale, then was a Wiffenpoof as a senior.

Musically it's rather exciting, though the block needs to be less static during the chorus-you're jumping the soloist up into their tenor range (not to mention having to push up to a c), there has to be a lot of energy, both vocal and physical, to back him up. Just move a little more and perhaps add a little crescendo on the way into each chorus. You've got something great here, but you're on the cusp of something fantastic!

Excellent job guys! Definitely the best out of the other Landed covers on YouTube. Very sweet harmonies, mixed with a lead singer who doesn't scream the lyrics, and great blend. A pleasure to listen to!
