Sometimes I am blessed to behold magic happen in our little public school auditorium -- case in point, THIS!
This rendition of "Blue Bucket of Gold" by my latest musical obsession, Sufjan Stevens (also covered beautifully by Gallant) features the PS22 Chorus at their best -- perfect harmonies, impossible high notes and tricky rhythms nailed, and most powerful of all is the beautiful, understated performance....

[@Arqueete]

I hope you know that Sufjan Stevens himself shared this on his blog today! Beautiful.

[@vandungnguyen4926]

Arqueete wait , sufjan has a blog? Can you give me the link to his blog?
And sorry for my english 😶

[@Karmandarm]

Inspired me to go through with this covering this

[@Claire.blain.]

@@vandungnguyen4926i’m 5 years late, but it’s on tumblr :>

This song is so much sadder for me when it’s sung by children

[@Edible_Kittens]

Maybe it’s just the choirs around me, but it’s surprising to see kids just put their whole heart and soul into singing a song together without being self-conscious. They really felt the lyrics. It’s very heartening.

[@Edible_Kittens]

I wonder how these little kids are doing.

[@amora_obscura]

I was in the school choir as a kid and we only ever got to sing crappy worship music or Christmas carols. I’m so envious of these kids

[@Edible_Kittens]

I still come back to this every so often. I got so many chills, a tear even formed. Bless these children, wherever they might be.

[@brucepeck3951]

This is amazing, this perhaps would have even been a better version for Sufjan's album since the whole thing is about his longing for a relationship with his mom from his childhood. It makes it so much deeper to have it sung by kids, plus this arrangement is amazing. Just beautiful.

[@henrikibsen6258]

That ooh is beauty beyond belief, it should be back-edited into the album.

[@hambonefakenamington69]

it really is angelic!

[@alexandrapoole997]

These children are IN IT. I'm sobbing!

[@nicknovakk]

Can't count how many times I've come back to this performance. Makes me cry every time

[@amitnaamani5702]

Same here

[@hannahzwic5975]

Made me cry, knowing there are so many kids experiencing what Sufjan wrote about in this song. Regardless these were so into it

[@colejames423]

I was a little drunk, but same man. That song is so beautiful but if you listen to what he’s saying and reflect on how that must have felt, my god.
And all these kids, some of which might have similar experiences, singing it together. Too much

[@blip]

all of you sweet little human beings are so expressive and beautiful and full of soul - your hearts are so full and we can feel it too. when i see things like this i feel like you guys can save the world and it makes me cry. thank you for doing this and sharing it with the rest of us

[@josieouira5]

Makes me cry harder every time i hear this. Sorry if I posted twice

[@thunderwalk]

This must be what heaven sounds like. Incredible.

[@josephtate73]

I cried. Absolutely beautiful.

[@corentindurand1616]

[@VictoryAh95]

[@spookymcbutters3597]

I was just looking to listen to a little Sufjan. Didn't know I'd come across this nugget of brilliance. Feeling lucky today.

[@menjadi30]

It's hard to imagine that this kind of somber song can be so beautiful with children's voice. Thumbs up!

[@ZimmerSquash]

Wonderful tonality in a school chorus, approaching cathedral choristers here with the beat resonance in that final semitone descent.
