And this, folks, is how it's done. Phrasing, blend, harmony, breath control, emotionality, gentleness and sheer beauty of sound are hallmarks of both these premier groups. And to do it together - wow.

Billy Joel created something extraordinary with this Lullabye and did justice to it on _River of Dreams._ Now VOCES8 and The King's Singers took Billy's creation to a whole 'nother level of exquisite beauty. Truly jaw-dropping.

These singers are as close to perfection as you can humanly get. Angelic!

This darned song makes me cry every time, this was Billy absolutely skying. Some of the prettiest music on Earth in my opinion. Simplicity and beauty personified.

Oh Halleluja :)! Be blessed All of you. I cried the whole song. I cried because of Jesus mercy to me and my life. I walked through two divorces. Lost my job after 19 years. The only savior in my circumstances through this hard experiences is Jesus. I can only confess He is my savior ! The last time it was at 14th November in year 2020. I felt lost and depressed. I felt I have no future. The Jesus saved me from death and I only can praise him for his endless love to me. He is the only savior to me and for All mankind. Please, give your whole life to him. He love you and have a wonderful plan for you. Many blessing to you :)!

my brain is in ecstas, full of oxytocin and dopamine, and my heart full of emotions and joy !

Goodnight, my angel Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark and deep Inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me Someday we'll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on... They never die That's how you And I Will be Gorgeous rendition❤️

on today's episode of things so beautiful they made me cry:

Imagine you would have had the chance to just lay down on your back in the middle of that circle and listen to the sound of heaven!

My grandfather was a Navy vet, and this is song I requested for his funeral in 2005. You helped me today, and I thank you for that.

Two quite extraordinary top English choral groups together...unusual, refreshing and revelatory.

Omg! I'm now in self-isolation at home due to Covid19, and hearing this really makes my mind relaxed, and heal my pain for a while 🥺

I thought I was the only person who actually liked this piece! I am happily proven wrong by two amazing groups

Three counter-tenors in one performance... blessed!!

I have heard 2 versions by The King's Singers, and love them, this is now another favourite.. *Squeal, heart melts & then I Sob into my hanky* My cup runneth over, my heart is full, and my tear glands are empty.. THANK YOU VOCES8 & The KING'S SINGERS. You are wondrous, splendid, harmonies to melt for and truly truly MAGNIFICENT. Best wishes to all, from Wales. PS: I am fast approaching my 6th decade on this planet and have been a Fan of TKS since my early teens, you gentleman still amaze me every time you sing. AND Voces8 you are now firmly right next to TKS in my heart and ears.. BRAVO ALL

Traumhaft!

Bravo to Philip Lawson 👏

Actually, Billy Joel's Lullaby is too small when two such masterful ensembles meet, but the marvelous arrangement brings together the warm, pleasant voices of the King's Singers and the incredible sopranos and chorus of voces8 in such a way that both groups are shown to their best advantage, resulting in a dreamlike overall sound. I don't think it gets any better than this.

Miraculous; such gentleness yet such power. Only the very best, you ARE the very best, beloved singers

So beautiful. Not to be maudlin, but ... I've heard, as have we all, about stories, movies, books that deal with the subject of "letting go" when it comes time to surrendering our bodies due to a chronic, fatal illness. If I should be so fortunate to have my wits about me, if indeed my departing from this life is due to a disease or just natural causes, I can't imagine a better soundtrack than this rendition of "Lullabye" to usher me from this life to the next.

A favourite composer of mine mixed with proper singing? Pure bliss - and brings me to the brink of tears… music is a soul nourishing thing on this planet when some things seem so bleak…🎉🎉🎉

It's been 5 years since I've listened to music. I couldn't after who I lost. This is the first video...the first piece of music I've allowed my ears to listen to. All I want to do is to scream.

God! I was not ready for that.

This made me cry the first time I heard it, but in a good way. Vocal perfection. This is for you, boys 🐾 🐱🐱🐾. Goodnight my angels 💞

Somehow, listening to this, having followed King Singers for so long, it fells like a small hymn to the irreplaceable past members of The King Singers. David Hurley, Paul Phoenix and Stephen Conelly. The voices of eternity. Thank you for sharing miracles. It´s not often you get two of the 4 best ensembles in the world to collaborate and create magic. If The Countertop Ensemble would join in, and Max Q would reunite...life would end well. Beautiful piece. Balulalow by Voces8 still being the absolute favourite. Miss Haines, you´re an angel. Thank you, all of you.

Just, WOW!🥲
