Wow, you sang this WAY too fast. Also, why do the altos have the melody? It should be tenors. But there's no denying you guys are talented.

[1719birdman]

i love every bit of it, there is nothing wrong with this peace, ya'll deliver the message and that is what music is for, i feel the compassion ya'll have for love and music, i like the difference with the tenors, it adds a different tone, but its still beautiful.

trying to find this song sung by 3 women and 2 men. at least i found the tune here. THe one i am talking about was on a song sampler.

[marmar156]

we're doing this in my school and tenor's do have the melody.

Finally! The perfect pace. Most versions of this drag on and on. Great.

@leahlikestai this isn't the decision of the choir... they're just following the conductor, this has nothing to do with talent or not talent! (Of course they are :)

[goldbergAG]

wonderful

[tumbao73]

un capolavoro di armonie, grandi ragazzi...ma J.T l'ha ascoltata???

bravo

[bassbaritoneguy]

I really like this arrangement. Something different than the regular King's Singers one that I'm most familiar with. And no, I don't think the performance was too fast. People need to realize that a conductor will take a piece as fast or as slow as he/she feels. I really hate it when people needlessly critique videos.

@JazzHalesBabyGurl :) I'm glad you have passion about this song. I interpret it differently.

[JazzHalesBabyGurl]

@ffdaydreamer I think that the dissonance adds character and tension. The song's title is LONESOME road, not friendly, sunshiney road. This was written when Taylor was in a depressive state. The dissonance shows the collision his life was under at that time. Also, the song ends with an untonal mode. Showing that his state never really ends.
