    This choir is one of the best in the world. All these smiling young faces, shining and full of hope, black, white, blonde, dark, men, women singing with one voice in harmony. Wearing necklaces that speak of unity in plurality. The fact that you could bring down the walls of Apartheid, exist peacefully, and produce joyous songs, brings tears to me every time. I love you guys! What a great world this would be if everyone followed this example, sang together and smiled. You are beautiful, every one of you. Your conductor and musical director and orchestra musicians are fine people. The songs are excellent and so well executed. Live forever, choir of Stellenbosch! You are magnificent. Thank you for being the light in darkness. Greetings from California! ❣❣❣

    I was not expecting that. At the first note my jaw dropped. What these guys (especially the conductor) did was absolutely amazing. The average person has no idea how hard it is to get a large group to sound so great, and acapella on top of that. Such precision. All the singers are fantastic, but without the drive and determination of the conductor all that talent would go to waste. What an accomplishment!

    I've sung in some choirs, but the finish, precision, balance, accuracy (eg timing), detail - incredible. Ok, back then we didn't have microphones, just echoey church halls (UK - outside = rain), and we were kids. But seriously amazing, addictive.

    Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luckSome nights, I call it a draw
    Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castleSome nights, I wish they'd just fall off
    But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
    Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

    This is it, boys, this is war
    (Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
    What are we waiting for?
    (Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
    Why don't we break the rules already?
    I was never one to believe the hype(Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)Save that for the black and white
    (Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
    Try twice as hard, and I'm half as liked
    But here they come again to jack my style
    [Bridge]
    And that's alright (That's alright)I found a martyr in my bed tonight
    She stops my bones from wonderingJust who I, who, I, who I amOh, who am I? Mmm, mmm
    [Chorus]
    Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end'Cause I could use some friends for a change
    And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
    Some nights, I always win (I always win)
    But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
    Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
    (Oh-ooh-woah-oh) What do I stand for?
    (Oh-ooh-woah-oh) What do I stand for?
    Most nights, I don't know
    [Bridge]
    (Oh, come on) So this is it?I sold my soul for this?
    Washed my hands of that for this?
    I miss my mom and dad for this?
    (Oh, come on) No, when I see stars, when I s-When I see stars, that's all they are
    When I hear songs, they sound like a swanSo come on, oh, come on, oh, come onOh, come on
    [Verse 2]
    Well, that is it, guys, that is all
    (Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)
    Five minutes in, and I'm bored again
    (Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
    Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
    This one is not for the folks at home(Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh)Sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go
    (Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh)
    Who the fuck wants to die alone
    All dried up in the desert sun?
    [Bridge]
    My heart is breaking for my sisterAnd the con that she called "love"And then I look into my nephew's eyesMan, you wouldn't believeThe most amazing thingsThat can come fromSome terrible nights
    [Refrain]
    Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh
    Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
    Oh-woah, oh-ooh-woah-oh
    Oh-ooh-woah-oh, oh-oh
    [Outro]
    The other night, you wouldn't believeThe dream I just had about you and meI'd called you up, but we both agreedIt's for the best you didn't listenIt's for the best we get our distance, oh
    For the best, you didn't listen
    It's for the best we get our distance, oh

    The man sitting on the wooden box who’s providing perfect percussion accompaniment is amazing in the ease with which he delivers perfect timing. He adds to this perfect performance. Wonderful stuff. As the Yank might say, Go Stellenbosch.
