This turned “The Rose” into a rich hymn. Stunning, absolutely stunning.

Been listening to The King’s Singers more than 30 years. Many men have passed through the group, but the sound and perfection remains as brilliant as ever.

Blown away... Plain and simple. Flawless. Such harmonies.. This blows away every version of "The Rose" I've ever heard.

I've been singing, playing, teaching, directing and listening to music for 75 years and have NEVER heard a more beautiful sound!

Yes, absolutely.

The Kings singers gave me my love for accapella music years ago while I was in high school. It’s wonderful to hear the tradition continues ❤ Thanks for sharing! 🎶🎵🎶🎵

I think this is as close to singing perfection that is possible on earth.

That is so beautiful. Makes me cry

This perfection requires not only and exceptional voice but an acute ability to hear the others in the group. Amazing.

My mother and her siblings used to sing like that. Unfortunately, they have all passed away and I miss their beautiful voices every day. I especially remember my grandmother's funeral when they all stood by her coffin and song so beautifully. I was eight years old, and I started crying because of the incredible song. It was like being in heaven.

I have been a King Singers fan for many years. It is so good that these lovely voices are keeping up that special tradition and sound.

Thinking about my Catherine who died after 61yrs of marriage from Alizheomers on this Memorial Day..I miss her so much..

Absolutely gorgeous accapella singing. Their sound is remarkable! Loved them!❤

A magnificent old Irish song yes old.

It's impossible to overstate just how good this is. Its just perfect. Absolute class.

This may the best acapella version of this song anywhere. Amazing!

Bravo! What an Acapella rendition of The Rose! Beautiful!

I wish I could hear singing like this on a regular basis. You all have beautiful voices. ❤

Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love, it is a flower And you, its only seed It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking That never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taking Who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed that with the sun's love In the spring becomes the rose

Love the relaxed position they have in the pews. Unique. Handsome, all.

I think those elegant European cathedrals must have been built so that human voices like these could have a worthy place to play. What perfection.

Music is one of the pinnacles of human existence. I think it is when we are closest to the Divine. When deaf and blind folks are interviewed, they always say the gift of sound is the sense they miss the most.

It is so beautiful that we played it at my mother's funerals ...So emotional !!

Greetings from South Carolina/USA. So beautiful and - SO apparent that all of the performers truly enjoy sharing their gift with the world.

This is being in Heaven, listening to angels singing.

This is what you get when you mix the ability to pay musicians with the prestige of a known brand. Every single one of these singers is "the pick of the litter", just imagine six cattle call auditions with hundreds of ultra talented singers - these were the winners. Hyper-talented, hyper-intelligent (musically for sure, generally more than likely), nearly perfect, lifelong ensemble singers. We're making the best music there ever has been with today's musicians.

there is something very spiritual listening to a choir, or a group such as these men sing in a cathedral or church.

Excellent and prayerfully sung

Maravilloso equilibrio de voces puras. The King´s Singers siguen estando en la cresta de la polifonía a capella, ahora con Voces 8.

These gentlemen have the most beautiful voices. They are a gift from God. Bless them!

Great comments all! Amid praise for the wonderful singers, let's also acknowledge the songwriter/composer, Amanda McBroom, without whom we would not all have been brought here together.

To listen over and over. Utah

Superb. Their voices blend so well with each other. It's very soothing and emotional.

One of the most beautiful moment of pure bliss on Internet since a long time. Voices of angels reaching perfection.

Lovely.

I thought please ease my soul depressed. And this song is right song

Always loved the kings singers stunning song never heard it sang any better this is the tops

The most beautiful sound I have heard in years! What a gift these lovely men are!

I was lucky enough to hear the first King's Singers back in the '70's; good to know the tradition is being kept up to such a high standard ( and I'm Welsh so kno w something about singing!) Thank you.

Had this beautiful song sung at our wedding nearly 17 years ago 🥰🥰🥰 Well done you!!!!

This song is so beautiful thank you guys God bless

This is Amazing Thank You, but I remember Singing this during my Senior year of HS aka Grad of ‘21. Which this Song has touched my Heart a lot, especially during 2nd Semester it hit really Hard on me. But I took this Song well this very Recording and made it my own. I sung every night while my own Grandfather was Sick, we found out that my Cousins and my Grandparents had Covid on Christmas Eve. But then later Died in Piece on unfortunately my Grandmothers 71st Birthday. I love my PawPaw so much I was so Sad I wouldn’t talk the day he died but I was so Happy that he didn’t have to Suffer God put his time in when he wanted it to. But I took these Lyrics as Love being so Strong but Precious not to Break it with that Certain Somebody in your Life while it is so Beautiful to not Risk the Chances you got be Blessed that you even have the Opportunity to have it. That’s my Input about it, but anyways Love this Piece it has definitely helped Grieving. Thanks

So beautiful and soothing for the heart

This is a particularly beautiful combination of voices (2 countertenors, 1 tenor, 2 Baritones and one Bass) and over all this time they’ve changed personnel frequently but never changed this combination of voices. It’s a really unique sound. This version of the song is better than the recorded version, one iteration of personnel ago, so they do keep changing things up. It’s the dynamics. I’d advise anyone to check these guys out. They were my gateway to opera...
