    Isn't it amazing to hear people sing "while your dying I'll be still alive" to their parents?

    • @L3gion3r
      @L3gion3r 6 лет назад +16

      It is truly amazing as long as the parents understand the context behind the song. Otherwise, it would be a savage thing to say.

      Health Inspector
      i’m sure some of them do.
      I’m sure some of them don’t. Also, the parent-to-kid conversation must’ve been really awkward:
      “so honey...
      What’s “Black Mesa”?
      Why did you say “You broke my heart and killed me, you tore me to pieces, and threw every piece into a fire”??
      What’s with the cake?!??!!?!
      What is this song about?”
      “oh, nothing...”

      Health Inspector Well the singers had to agree for the most part on what to sing so I'm assuming yes.

    I do it. The song is hysterical, but the kids sound amazing. Listen to their harmony. I've already commented on this, but I still come back and listen to it from time to time. Never gets old.

  • @joinchoir
    @joinchoir  14 лет назад +13

    @Raxer21 They knew about the piece and supported it. Here is a comment from one parent on my blog: "My kids came home very excited about singing a new, more contemporary song and played it for me on the internet right away. We do trust that you are choosing music that’s appropriate for them and appreciate the excitement and passion for singing that you have been able to generate."

    Pitch, tone, timbre... that final plaintive "Still alive" is sheer sweetness.
    I was watching The Big Bang Theory theme song w/ my 7-yr-old, and to make a point, I repeated the ending slowly: "...Math, science, history, unravelling the mystery--"
    He finished, "For the people who are, still alive."
    Great vidyo!
