This was 10 years ago. Let that just sink in. I wonder where these kids are now! Love this version!

still one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard

I come back once or twice a year to this video... always moves me.

The girl in yellow as she sings louder and her smile grows.... so sweet!

"You wipe the tears from my eye, and you say that all it takes is a phone call. I cry at the thought of being alone in bed I wonder how long it will take till I'm home again." When that little girl sings this part, I get chills bad.....Wow. I am always overcome with their amazing sound...BEAUTY.

I suddenly remembered this video today and I’m so glad it’s still up!! I used to listen to it all the time!

We need a 2023 version with these kids today!

ive been watching this every so often since 2010, when i was 15. now im holding my newborn daughter and rewatching it , hoping she feels as fondly toward the arrangement someday, as i do ❤

The opportunity that these kids got, the obvious joy on their faces for getting the chance, their voices, the lyrics, their laughter at the end? That's what life is all about. There are no words.

I'm just an old Southern truck driver and not sure the attraction to this song. But I've saved and watched it for years. I love it and now my grand daughters do too.

I still come back to watch this. Absolutely love it. I must watch it at least 10 times a year.

I love that they show a girl with a "Smoking Kills" t-shirt during the cigarette line.

Anyone still watch this in 2019? I really love this since 2010..

I've watched more than 50 times. I found this since 2012. I loved it too.

Even after 13 years, this version brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me of memories I never experienced and dreams I hoped to come to pass.

It brings tears to my eyes too, this song is so visual

I remember my teacher showed us this video in class, in grade 8. Now I'm 2nd year at University. Man time flies :')

Years later and I'm still coming back to this video! Love it

This is a beautiful arrangement of such a wonderfully simple song... I have watched this clip with my two children many, many times. They absolutely love it and so do I. Angelic.

Lily Allen always appears to me as a nice, intelligent woman...How could she not be flattered by this, it's beautiful?

This is what music from a better world would sound like~

Omg I just remembered this video 😭😭

Listened again... blubbed (cried) again and remembered my lovely mum Joyce, who passed away 2002, who would have adored this... I still miss her everyday... Love ya Mum :0)x What a lovely tribute to Lily Allen, who wrote this fantastic song... :0)x

Ye gods, this is beautiful. Maybe I'm an old softie, but I can't ever listen to this choir without welling up - I lasted until the soloist at 1:38 and that was it.

4 years ago my music teacher showed this to me and now I’m across the country.

it makes me weep for the hope, beauty, and joy in it

I love this and it seems Lily does too - she tweeted her appreciation

...attacking the replay button...nuff said... :D

I'm extremely impressed! Chinese is such a beautiful song, made even better with this great arrangement. Well done and Keep singing!

This video is the same age as me. I like to come back to him from time to time to remember the time when I was very little. I don't know why, but the voices of these children make me miss my family and those who are no longer there. I wish everyone peace in the world.

Excellent i have watched morethen 20 times with my son

omg. dont know what to say I love it. Watched it 5 times and still speechless...

unbelievable. i heard this song in my primary school’s chorus team ten years ago and finally i found it again

I see my mom everyday but the song still make me feel sentimental

The Capital Children"s Choir are so musically talented and great to listen to .The choral tribute "Chinese" is a favorite of mine.

I love watching the enjoyment on everyone's faces. From the girl in yellow similing as she transitions to the girls with the staccato notes to the laughter after the performance. Such pure talent.

i can't understand how there are 77 of people that dislike this video. it's so amazing

Welp, I'm back. 4 Years later. GOD DAMN IT, I get teary every single time.

They look so happy.

The little piece of heaven ;)

The girl at 1:38 is such a magnificent singer, I am so impressed with her and this entire performance. (:

After all these years of browsing thousands of videos on KZread... this video made me create an account just to express how much these kids inspired me and how they reminded me so much of my daughter son and wife whom I haven't seen in weeks. I am in awe. Thank you all, the lovely kids, musicians, sound engineers and youtube for this moment of solitude turned hopeful, far away from home in an airport somewhere on this planet waiting to fly back to my kids and wife. Thank you.

This is one of those few cases when the arreglement is way better than the original version. The tribute of Lily Allen became a tribute to the music, and the thousons of times we watch this video become a tribute of this wonderful choir. The cuality of the music and the purity of the kids behivor feeds our souls an make us to reflect about the life. Thanks Chapital Choir.

This makes my soul smile and I shamelessly cry every single time I listen to it! Thank you!

2017 and I still in love with this song

I watch it occasionally and it always makes me cry, perhaps even more so during Covid 19.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Goosebumps. Thanks for the download also!

This song makes me think of my own mum. Brings a tear to my eye (in a good way). Posted it to her Facebook for Mother's Day.

The music is beautiful... the interpretation and execution of the song is amazing... but for me, the highlight is the wicked sense of humour of the girl wearing the smoking kills t-shirt.

I watch this video and then Untrust Us cover, and I noticed how this little girls have grown. Always keeping that lovely voice. It's sweet!!

God bless you each one singing for this amen

This is the greatest, very talented and fantastically organized. This is your best performance. It tops all of your other ones. Though, they are all exceptional. The Capital Children's Choir is the best choir I have ever heard.

I love this arrangement and it is sung so beautifully by a group of diverse and talented young ladies and gentlemen. I think what I feel when I listen is a sense of the innocence of childhood. The words are wonderful, but some of the best parts of the piece are the beautiful sounds and musical phrases without words.

I still remeber watching this when it came out and loved listening over and over. It's still just as amazing.

the solo's were stunning & altogether BEAUTIFUL.

am I the only one who notices at 0:50 the girl wearing a "smoking kills" shirt and the lyrics are "I have a cigarette to pass the time because the traffic's hell"

ha...ha....ha I do too. Frankly I have smoked a lot.

This is an amazing arrangement of the song - I was moved to tears the first time I heard it! By the way, is the elephant at 2:34 supposed to be Rachel's very personal way of telling Lily that it's for her? I remember watching a video in which she said that the first song she got Lily to sing was from Dumbo. That makes me want to cry even more. How sweet.

Stumbled on this by accident. Thrilled I did. Great recording, Beautiful choir, with great balance and togetherness, considering their numbers and ages range. Professional standard.

girl at 1:37 in the green sweater is totally my hero. she is amazing.

joy in singing, donates joy in listening... great work

Such a beautiful piece!!!

i feel in heaven every time i go to the park and hear this sound while im doing excercise... by the way, probably people wich mark "don't like" they do it by a mistake, i dont think seriously nobody can do dislike to this song....

This performance deserves the golden buzzer

You are all amazing, so beautiful. I'm crying, not usually me ♥

Esas niñas ya han de ser adultas y madres, Que rápido pasa la vida 🤧

I think what makes this so watchable is you get a feeling that all the singers really enjoy what they are doing. It's simply uplifting and it brings a smile to your face. Brilliant. Favourite this for a rainy day.

When I see them and listen to them I get so amazed! Knowing that they're much older now, all living their lifes, I only wish that they are doing fine. It's crazy how much I get personally attached to those people by just seeing them sing together in one room. Performance of a lifetime.

this is one of the best songs in the new album, and i'd say it sounds even better sung by this wonderful choral. well done girls, thank you for that. i truly enjoyed this, emptied my mind during those 4minutes and a half :)

I see you from the sky And I wonder how long it will take me to get home I wait for an hour or so at the carousel I have a cigarette to pass the time Cause the traffic's hell I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV You wipe the tears from my eye And you say that all that it takes is a phone call I cry at the thought of being alone and then I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV I know it doesn't seem so fair But I'll send you a postcard when I get there I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

This song is so beautiful....sounds like angels are singing!

this is really gd. i love how just as they say the line "I'll have a cigarette to pass the time" they focus on the girl wearing a Smoking Kills t shirt ! =)

could be really nice if you put this songs in spotify or something like that, greetings from COSTA RICA

I have loved this song for years, and have loved this choir since I heard it's performance of "Shake it Out" a few weeks ago. This combination is nothing less than perfection.

I watch this at least 5 times a day! So good!

Aha now I know how angels sound!

2019 still here...

wow the first solo is incredible. what a beautiful voice!

i cant stop watching it. its one of the best compositions ive ever heard!

THIS IS TOO AWESOME ! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING ! \o/

so beautiful😢❤ i have tears in my eyes😢

this video is so amazing firstly due to their voices and the fact that everyone is enjoying the song with a smile makes me so happy to just watch them sing

As a mother I can barely listen to this without starting to cry :)

This makes me so happy :)

it's so weird to hear such angelic voices singing lyrics like ''you'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea, and we'll get a chinese and watch tv.'' haha but this is a fantastic cover such a different take on the song :D

makes me well up with tears every time I watch this- its truely beautiful- incredible could have this on constant loop

can' t wait to see another video from u guys... I've seen this video more then fifty times, and never get bored yet. amazing voices of angels...!!!!!

Tha fuck is this im crying like asshole. Ty alot.

KZread says this video was uploaded 13 years ago. I still come here regularly and the song pops up in my mind at least once a months... but more like once a week. You created an everlasting peace of art!

Aww the kids look so cute and they have an angelic voice I love how they adapted this ep from ‘it’s not me it’s you’

KZread need more of this than toxic narcissistic individuals. I saw this in 2009, and no wonder who the young ladies are all doing now, if they're all have great careers.

After ten years, this song still amazing

Beautiful !

This is so lovely, so charming. Thanks to all of you!
