I see myself!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh the memories.... I'm really singing along to this song I still remember most of the lyrics... Now I'm a senior in highschool... Was I really this small back then? Hahahahhaha
Ahhh I remember seeing this when I was around the 4th grade and now I'm a high school senior as well! Time really flies, hope you and the rest of the other kids in this video are doing well slayin senior year!
I was a junior when this particular video came out. That's pretty crazy. I remember wishing my high school choir could sound half as beautiful as your elementary school choir.
I love the fact that these children look so relaxed, confident and at ease. They're openly expressing themselves and having fun - this must be doing absolute wonders for their self-esteem. What an excellent project.
Watching this for the first time in 2022 and looking at all the comments from 12 years ago fills me with a certain indescribable emotion. Like even though I missed out on this moment initially, the energy is still presence and tangible all these years later. I have a feeling that if I had seen this years ago while in middle school transitioning into high school, this would’ve had a direct impact on the trajectory of my life. Im grateful for where I am now, but this video makes me daydream about where I could be.
Wow likewise my friend. Just finding this song today from a clip of this video on Instagram and the comments really bring a certain amazing feeling to the surface.
Here in 2024. I’ll be back in a few years and I’ll update this again. May God bless all these kids and the teacher. Moments like this make me love humanity.
The Creators Project:" How did you guys feel when your first saw that?" Laurent Brancowitz (Phoenix):"Oh we were very....we cried." Christian Mazzalai (Phoenix): "It was very emotional."
It moved me to tears too. I wish we could sing our hearts out too no matter what. I wish happiness to all the world. From Argentina, from my heart. God bless. I love you. All of you.
this is gonna make my 20 year old self go join choir again. it was everything to me. you can absolutely see it in their faces. i hope they are all still singing and pursuing music. i know i am.
I found this video back in 2010, and I've always remembered it from 13 years go. I felt everything again rewatching it. I wonder how these kids are today.
I keep replaying this video, I really wish I had a music teacher like you when I was in grade school. I mean I always loved music but if we sang songs like this I think it would have made a bigger impact on me. If everyone in the world were connected to music like these kids are the world would be a better place. People need to realize the kind of power music really has.
This is my favourite RUclips video. And I know a lot of "that kind of stuff" these days.. I watch it everyday and each time the song and the little personalities give me shivers. I'm a teacher myself (arts and English in Germany) You guys are the best!
I am 28, been singing in choir my whole life, I will never stop, Its moments like these that prove that the world CAN change for the better, we can raise our kin into a healthy world, Music is the Key, For our Lord Sake Music is the key to a rich life. You are all beautiful.
I fell in love with choir all 4 years of HS and I still do. I can’t believe how much time is passing 😭😩😭💕💜 we were so little, and I honestly miss how simple life was and how we played outside, how we dressed, how we looked, the energy we had.. I’m 27 and I’m grateful for who I am becoming.❤️ we’ve all come a long way and our out here navigating through life.
i am bawling thinking about the kids that are now adults who can come back to this video and witness this amazing moment of life, sharing and pure beauty
this video is so beautiful makes me tear up everytime something about kids and their beautiful souls and them reminding me of myself. plus these kids all are so invested and involved it’s beautiful to see. video made me want to become a music teacher. thank you for sharing.
I watch this video at least once a year. In a perfect world I would love to see all of you come together and sing this song again. All the super heros assemble! Love from overseas.
When I need to feel emotion that is evoked by music. I find my way to this video. Everyone in this, the diversity, the range it displays. It makes me feel like the world is okay. Despite the ugly that goes on. I’m reminded beautiful things like this exist & I cry every time. Just a little bit. Just enough to let out a few tears, but I feel it. The moment is there. I can hold it.
amazing, you have created this wonderful space where expression, expressing, vocally, and physically, is the norm, and is the goal... there is not a self conscious kid in the room... this is an amazing feat......you are changing these kid's lives... it's just amazing.. these kids will be the next generation of our cultural creativity.... thanks again... all of you
I'm just blown away, I really am. I'm about to cry. This was amazing. Every single one of those kids is a rockstar and I hope one day they get to change the world like they just did to mine.
This is aaaaaaaammmaaaa---ziiiiiiiiiing!! I love how enthusiastic all the children look and it seems like they really love what they are doing, not just having to do it. I can't help listening to it again and again and again! Never gets old, beautifully sung and just shows that someone out there believes in the future :D LOVE IT SO MUUCHHHH :D
was reading the blog that some of these kids are from rough families, no wonder they have such old souls, it comes out in the music, the audience can feel the emotions they are expressing, it's very sweet and beautiful they have innocent voices yet sing with such remarkable maturity, you can tell the kids love Mr. B and Mr, B loves them, what a great teacher!!!what amazing kids!!!!
HOW DO 61 PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS???? This is what education is about! This is music. This teacher and his children created something special. Watch the passion in the children's eyes. You can't t tell me you don't like this..
my jaw dropped the first time i saw this. then i watched it five more times and couldn't stop smiling. this is amazing. both the kids and the director are so enthusiastic, it's awesome.
There’s just something about when kids sing together, it sounds so beautiful, and to see them get really into the song. It’s just so beautiful, THIS WAS 12 years ago!! Amazing this was really good. I came across it on TikTok.
I wish I had a music teacher like this when I was in school. Seeing pretty much every kid in the video put emotion into the songs / be passionate about what they're singing is incredible. They sound great as well, finding music they truly enjoy makes it that much better.
OMG! I have goosebumps, this little kids are... i haven't words to describe them. They're absolutelly talented, I wish all the little kids will be like them :). By the way this is my favourite song by Phoenix, now it has a new meaning for me :). Thank you so much for sharing this with us :)
Whoever you are, you leading this chorus, you are a true inspiration. I wish I had music instructors like you in my life. There is so much heart and joy in this chorus and their performances. These kids are going to be affected in a big way by your work with them. It gives me such hope to see people like you are doing what you do. I hope there are many, many more.
Tears in my eyes... this is a beautiful example of the talent our children possess and are pushing us to let them show, if only we'll give them a chance.

i love this song never found the time to like it and add to my favorites.. everytime im in a bad mood i listen to this song and look at the kids and i start to smile. your awesome sir. youve got one heck of a gift
I think that what I love about this chorus is that there isn't any type of discrimination, at all. They're equal, as the world should be. Absolutely beautiful, keep the amazing work coming! Kudos from Puerto Rico.
Extra-special shout-out to the kid in black with black hair (whenever the camera pans to the right). All these young people are great but that kid is truly in the zone! I love it!
Wow. This director and students have such authentic, raw spirit. Each one being their happy, true self. Very rare and special to see in groups these days. Congratulations ! 💜
This almost brought tears to my eyes. I've never seen children get so into the music, and they sound so amazing! This is truly a beautiful sight. That teacher must feel so fulfilled.
"We all had tears in our eyes when we watched it."

Esto es la maravilla de la música
Still singing..??
I love the fact that these children look so relaxed, confident and at ease. They're openly expressing themselves and having fun - this must be doing absolute wonders for their self-esteem. What an excellent project.
I think it’s a testament to the teacher. May we all find our inner child

Beautiful words man, it makes me think of not where i could be, but everything that i went thru, that made me be where i'm at
Wow likewise my friend. Just finding this song today from a clip of this video on Instagram and the comments really bring a certain amazing feeling to the surface.
Felt that
right! heard this in Saman's NTS set just today and had to track down this gem
They’re 22-23 now😭
This is one of the greatest musical interpretations ever. There is something so pure about this - it needs to be preserved forever
8 yrs later im still for the purity of this choir
Here in 2024. I’ll be back in a few years and I’ll update this again. May God bless all these kids and the teacher. Moments like this make me love humanity.
The Creators Project:" How did you guys feel when your first saw that?"
Laurent Brancowitz (Phoenix):"Oh we were very....we cried."
Christian Mazzalai (Phoenix): "It was very emotional."
There’s just something about these kids singing this specific song together. The atmosphere, diversity, and vibe seems perfect 🌟
2024 - i still regularly return to this piece of heaven
the kids must all be grown adults now i imagine
Me too at least once every 6 months since it was posted
It moved me to tears too. I wish we could sing our hearts out too no matter what. I wish happiness to all the world. From Argentina, from my heart. God bless. I love you. All of you.
I love how much the kids get into it!, so passionate, nice feelgood piece to start the working day
this is gonna make my 20 year old self go join choir again. it was everything to me. you can absolutely see it in their faces. i hope they are all still singing and pursuing music. i know i am.
Go for it
this is, without equivocation or exaggeration, the most amazing thing i have ever seen or heard in my entire life
Saw a clip of this on a Phoenix documentary. It blew me away.
I love that they all look like they're having a great time. This is amazing.

How's life 13 years later
I found this video back in 2010, and I've always remembered it from 13 years go. I felt everything again rewatching it. I wonder how these kids are today.
Im litterally getting more chills than I've ever gotten in my life. This is so good. So powerful

Stumbling onto this beautiful masterpiece… brings just a wave of ease listening to this.
love the energy of the kids. it's a drag watching some emotionless choirs. this one is awesome.
This is my favourite RUclips video. And I know a lot of "that kind of stuff" these days.. I watch it everyday and each time the song and the little personalities give me shivers. I'm a teacher myself (arts and English in Germany)
You guys are the best!
i love seeing the passion in each of these kids' eyes as they are singing.
SO INSPIRING and SO MOVING!
I am 28, been singing in choir my whole life, I will never stop, Its moments like these that prove that the world CAN change for the better, we can raise our kin into a healthy world, Music is the Key, For our Lord Sake Music is the key to a rich life.

Seven years since first seeing this - still goosebumps every time. Bravo guys!
These renditions are truly exceptional. Such a perfect blend of joy and musical quality.
I'm just blown away, I really am. I'm about to cry. This was amazing. Every single one of those kids is a rockstar and I hope one day they get to change the world like they just did to mine.

I was so shocked that this video actually made me cry. This is amazing.
I know that this video is 13 years old but in my mind they are all still kids and i hope they are still happy and full of joy 🥹

There’s just something about when kids sing together, it sounds so beautiful, and to see them get really into the song. It’s just so beautiful, THIS WAS 12 years ago!! Amazing this was really good. I came across it on TikTok.
I wish I had a music teacher like this when I was in school. Seeing pretty much every kid in the video put emotion into the songs / be passionate about what they're singing is incredible. They sound great as well, finding music they truly enjoy makes it that much better.
OMG! I have goosebumps, this little kids are... i haven't words to describe them. They're absolutelly talented, I wish all the little kids will be like them :). By the way this is my favourite song by Phoenix, now it has a new meaning for me :).
Thank you so much for sharing this with us :)
Revisiting this video after years and I am still so so moved. Breathtaking every single time.
Whoever you are, you leading this chorus, you are a true inspiration. I wish I had music instructors like you in my life. There is so much heart and joy in this chorus and their performances. These kids are going to be affected in a big way by your work with them. It gives me such hope to see people like you are doing what you do. I hope there are many, many more.
this is so humanly raw and beautiful
Always thought I was the biggest fan of Phoenix growing up so I can't believe I've never heard this. Awesome!
This would have been a perfect alternative bridge for Pheonix's original song ! ! !
Oh the harmony alone is enough to give me goosebumps. Added to the fact that I love, love, LOVE, chorus AND phoenix!
beautiful gave me chills
Tears in my eyes... this is a beautiful example of the talent our children possess and are pushing us to let them show, if only we'll give them a chance.
this made me tear up a bit thats really cool you can tell the kids are having a blast
same! totally cried! the emotion is beautiful!
wow. this was a safe space for these kids. one of the best songs ever, sung so passionately 😭. why am i crying
I remember I used to be in chorus it what so Fun!!! But they just made it better by adding phoenix tunes to it
All I could do was cry with tears of joys!!! . Greatness !!!!!
So sentimental
Not sentimental, no
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely
When with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let, do let, do let
Jugulate, do let, do
Let's go slowly, discouraged
Distant from other interests
On your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
That's with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be someone else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes
It comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage
On this precious weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Do let, do let, do let
Jugulate, do let, do
Let's go slowly, discouraged
We'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over, we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes
It comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh
Not easily offended
Not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Ooh
This is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime
Ooh
This is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime
Time, time to show it off, time to show it off
It's time to show it off
Time, time to show it off, time to show it off
It's time to show it off
From the mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, oh
Disgust, disgust, disgust
Disgust, disgust, discouraged
Those harmonies are SO good, seriously noving me to tears aaah
just came around youtube to listen lisztomania .I didn't expect this .it's beyond believe .
These kids are making my heart smile. Can't get enough, they are so great!
11 anos atrás eu me emocionava com esse vídeo e em pleno 2021 ele ainda me causa a mesma emoção.
I keep coming back to this video that I also discovered 11 years ago. Nostalgic now to watch it
Just ah see the pure joy and vibes from teacher to student keep the passion burning
hope these kids are all doing good
i love this song never found the time to like it and add to my favorites.. everytime im in a bad mood i listen to this song and look at the kids and i start to smile. your awesome sir. youve got one heck of a gift
Still gives me goosebumps. Oh, and wet eyes too.
its 2024, my middle school music teacher showed me this video back in 2012. im 22 now and i loveee this video. makes me cry
These kids have more direction and soul than 95% of adults in this world...thank you for your inspiration!
I think that what I love about this chorus is that there isn't any type of discrimination, at all. They're equal, as the world should be. Absolutely beautiful, keep the amazing work coming!
Kudos from Puerto Rico.
Wish I had that teacher
This gives me goosebumps and watery eyes, every time.
Extra-special shout-out to the kid in black with black hair (whenever the camera pans to the right). All these young people are great but that kid is truly in the zone! I love it!
Wow. This director and students have such authentic, raw spirit. Each one being their happy, true self. Very rare and special to see in groups these days. Congratulations ! 💜

Better than the original with respect

This clip was sampled in the artist Mallrat's 'Suprise me' ft Azealia Banks. So amazing I wonder if these kids know how far their voices reached ❤️
