- Black Sabbath lead guitarist Tony Iommi worked with his friend the Dean of Birmingham on this five-minute arrangement, which celebrates peace, harmony and the Cathedral’s role in the heart of the city. The Birmingham rock legend said he wanted to ‘give something back’ to his home city.

Lyrics (inspired by Psalm 133)
How good, oh how good…
How good it is
Where friendship dwells
How good it is
When kindred live
In peace and love
How good it is
When strangers meet
And find a home
How good it is, so good….
This is home, this is home...
Our city, God’s city, our home….
So good, so good, together, so good…

"How Good It Is" - with lyrics inspired by Psalm 133. I like it.
There is no better a gift, than the gift of music from your soul. You can tell this music is from the depths of Tony's soul. The people of Birmingham, England should be very proud. Tony never ceases to astound .
He doesn't need Black Sabbath to make great music. It comes from within.
Tony is Black Sabbath
Thank you, Birmingham Cathedral and Mr. Iommi for this angelical piece of art.
For those who know Tony's vast musical output, this magnificently angelic gem comes as no surprise. Iommi, one of the select few musical geniuses of our age.
Met Iommi & Geezer at OzzFest 2005 @Shoreline Amphitheater, good times! 🤘
IOMMI musical genius ✝️🎼🎶🎸⚛️🤘
Y'all should make an entire album, this music is just fucking fantastic!
His Genius never stops showing,shining and through his sickness never slowing.
This is absolutely amazing....no matter what he does he proves he is the best
Mr Iommi, do an album in this vein, you're going to have the time free after 4th February! Then tour the UK 's cathedrals with it.
Heavy rock is the modern day classical music and Tony Iommi is Mozart and Bach and Elgar three in one. Beautiful sound.
Mike Thompson Iommi is simply god.
I love this. And keep coming back to listen to it from time to time. It brings an inner peace to me whenever I put it on. God bless you all

A wonder in sacral music had happened, that's going to give many people hope in these hard times!Thank you so much Tony Iommi and God bless you🙏
Stunning and very unexpected
Tony Iommi is such a class act. Always has been.
Stunning, would love an album.
This would be a great song to play at my funeral.
This should have been released for Christmas.
We love you, Tony!!
Handel wrote "The Messiah", giving us his interpretation of God inside the great plenitude and perfection. Iommi made de same....incredible and amazing Musician....
Carlos Aquati Neto The Messiah is 2 hours long. This is five minutes. Tony just has to add 1 hour 55 min.)
Handel has no rivals, not even Tony
@@dAvrilthebear Learn to interpret the concept, please. OBVIOUS that Handel has NO comparison, much less Iommi would be able to do 2 similar hours. They only used the SAME CONCEPT, interpreting what they feel about GOD through musical melodies.

Great Music, such a real Gentleman Mr. Tony Iommi, Long Live Black Sabbath !!!
It's like he blended Planet Caravan with Supertzar. Beautiful.
with a touch of "Laguna Sunrise"! Was tempted to mention "Fluff" as well, but I don't really hear it
I can actually hear both! Tony has such a strong voice, it's just always there.
Absolutely amazing! Respect to Mr. Tony Iommi my all time favourite guitarist

Fantastic , thank you Tony
Thank you Tony for all the music you've blessed us with. Since the very first time I heard Black Sabbath, you've been a major part of my life....and now this. I treasure ever album, all the concerts where I saw you, my Tony Signature SG, all those wonderful memories of my life where Black Sabbath songs will always take me back to re-live. And now I look forward to the final shows, one in London and the very last two in Birmingham, with joy and sadness. Please continue to compose music for the fans who adore you. Here's to your continued good health, Tony, with love always, from Karen and "Tony's Girls"
You're a good man Mr. Iomme, beautiful song.

This could be an interlude in "Cross Purposes" or "Tyr"
Gio Dimitriadis or headless cross

Or like a cross between Laguna Sunrise off of Vol. 4 and Supertzar off of Sabotage?

Great Tony!
If Dio still alive, I can imagine him doing an alternate version of this.
Bravo Tony!
Awesome. That's for all those sanctimoniouses who say that metallers are all satanists. Great job, Iommi!

Really great music, very somber.
Awesome!
That is a fantastic collaboration
Just great, Tony!
Simply immense. Thanks to everyone involved.
Tony, you're eternal my dear.
This is just beautiful. Tony is the master.
Peace between two worlds, or at least peace between two communities who thought to be different worlds but who finally come to realize that they are the same, those who support metal and those who support faith in whatever god they believe in. Well done!
we Christian Headbangers are many now and run the biggest metal bands in the world .
jimischild13 Amen.
I mean Tony is in both camps so i wouldnt say two different communities
Thank you Mr. Iommi and everyone involved. This is amazing, peace and harmony for everyone.
Tony, I would like to thank you for all you have done. You help create a new genre of music which help inspire many, including myself. The fact that you wanted to give back to your hometown is amazing enough, but I think the way you did it is even more amazing. This song is strangely comforting and helps me to think of the good thing in life. Thank you from all of us.
Tony always the best of music in the world, a great composer, instrumentist, with focus in harmony, melody, joy and grace ! Dominus Vobiscum Tony - Amén !!
Simple The Master! Long Live Tony Iommi!
I'd love to see this performed.
What an amazing song, so beautiful and peaceful, great work from Mr. Iommi.
@tonyiommi o melhor do Universo, amo muito ❤
This is truly beautiful. Iommi is a very talented musician, no matter what he does. Real talent transcends musical styles.
Angelic doom metal !
Very nice! Thank you to the choir, lyricists and Mr. Iommi. 👍
