Magnificent! Just another reminder of what a blessing and a privilege it is to be a gay man. I wouldn't have it any other way.
YES ! that says it all.... wouldn't have it any other way.
@@spankdarlamimi656 fuck you, who are you to judge anyone , that's what's wrong with the world, judge me and be not judged, screw you witch
Well said, Markus~!
I never get tired of this song. The cadence is as lilting and relaxed as it is complex. Just as any relationship requires dedication and attention, it's worth it just to be able to sing along... until my voice starts cracking from emotion.
Tears are brought to my eyes as I hear and see this performance. There are no words to discribe it. Just amazing ....
I love this man for writing this wonderfully romantic and beautiful song.
Love listening to Matt Alber sing this song. Words are moving.
Oh, I just stumbled onto this today. Makes me miss you guys! Can't wait to sing with you again at Christmas!
I am speechless as to how beautiful that was ....
Fortunately, your ability to type was unaffected. :-D
And…..
…..I’m done! It’s bad enough that the song itself makes me cry. But, that’s just not good enough. You just had to throw in the dancing and make me ugly cry! And in an 8 month long battle with depression, I’m pretty much cried out. So, you are a sadist!
And, I sincerely thank you for sharing.
I have watched this so many times and I cry each time am I troubled or just Gay this has made a moment in my life I want to last for ever. I have two ticket left!!!
Same here Donald, we're just Gay and moved by something so touching.
You may be troubled and thankfully being gay is not one of your troubles!!! Anyone who has been in love and felt the defeat, insecurity, panic and worthless that beset you when you can feel it unraveling is likely to cry listening to this song!!! The line that most breaks my heart??? "And if there's nothing left can you tell me why that it is you're holding on to me".... That was my last boyfriend for at least the final, torturous 6 months of our relationship!!! He wasn't happy and didn't have anything to say about me but whenever I would suggest that we end it and move on he would cry and plead and go on about how he didn't know how he would live through the breakup!!! All it was was that he was afraid to be alone so he wouldn't let me go!!! I think he would have rather lived out the next 5, 10 or more years of our lives be miserable just to be able to say he was part of a couple!!!
Wonderful song and presentation here. Has to be one of the most beautiful, haunting love songs ever written. Matt Alber is the eighth wonder ...
Absolutely Stunning. Thank you.
Chill Bumps Every Time...
I've loved this song since I first heard it. I cried then as I'm crying now like it's written about me and my lost love. I can't put into words how much the words and haunting melody mean to me.
It was an amazing experience to sing this song, with these men at this moment in time. It really was perfect!
I hope Matt saw how much this song really merits. Its a masterpiece.
I didn’t think I could love this song anymore than I already do, but wow!
This is one of my most favorite songs and this is a beautiful presentation by Matt and the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington. Well done!
I LOVE this song! Sung with such feeling and the dancing was GREAT!!
It is so beautiful, I heard this song in the movie The Falls and I cried
I cry. I would love to see them in person or have them sing at my wedding.
This is so wonderful!! I fall in love again every time I hear this song!
Thank you Matt
Wonderful live performance by Matt, and the chorus sang beautifully. I wish I had been there to see it!
wow. I had lower expectations, but this was really nice. The dancers (especially shorter guy) was incredibly expressive and beautiful. Matt (OH MATT!!), first time I'ver really heard you so expressive. Fantastic performance...
Absolutely, beautifully perfect. I could listen to this song for the rest of my days...and may.
I get tears in my eyes every time I hear this song. I love it so much.
I used to sing in a gay men's chorus but haven't for several years. This song makes me miss doing that.
OMG you guys made this wonderful song even better. Perfect arrangement! Just wow!
I Got goosebumps.........( memorizing ) my late partner....
Just the way it feels too...like the end of the world.
Thank you for this beautiful moment in my day. Love is Love.
Thank you for your wonderful reply. I am still healing, just takes time.
I cry every time I hear this song too. I'm an old man and alone now, not by choice believe me. Since I'm rather an optimistic person, hope is still there and will remain so till my last day on Earth. Things will change positively for you, Matthew, I'm sure of that. Maybe they have already, I hope so from the bottom of my heart. It's not the end of the world, it's a new beginning, a new life, Matthew. One day you'll agree with me....Kisses for you, Alain.
ForEverGilda Alain Thank you.. I appreciate your kind words..
This song, with Matt's slowed down take the refrains from the original recording of "somebody who, somebody who" and "don't you wanna dance" "say you wanna dance" presented the perfect opportunity to use the full chorus to turn those words into the melancholy, pleading, does anyone find me worthy to dance with/or to be showered with their love!!! And this may seem minor or petty to some... but this is a performance at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the most prestigious performance venue in our Nation's Capital and Matt needs to dress like he knows where he is!!! If the entire chorus standing behind him in TUXEDOS didn't make him rethink the flannel shirt and jeans look someone on the artistic staff should have just brought one to his dressing room the night before the performance and on the day of a wardrobe person should have stopped by to see if it was the correct size and if he wanted them to steam it before the performance!!!
I am an instant fan and have looked and listened to every version I can find online. The music sounds hauntingly like Jacques Brel, a fabulous French singer/songwriter.
WOW!
This is the first song I heard Matt sing, and I've been in love with it ever since. I ALWAYS cry every time I hear it, and if I sing along....fuhgetaboutit! The sentiment, the lyrics, the melody; the memories of love found and lost..just beautiful!
I agree with Geoff & James...it is perfect! Matt has such a beautiful voice and has such a sweet presence. Be sure to see him in person, if you ever have the chance!
STUNNING!
so beautiful! well done Matt :)
This is so lovely 😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow, wow, Love this so much, Thank you..
WOW! Shockingly beautiful. The song and this video.
What a beautiful SONG You ALL sound great thank you.
I wish I could sing like that... I wish I could play the piano like that... I wish I could dance like that. I can't do any of those things but these handsome gentlemen can do it all, and so wonderfully~!
From today I believe in LOVE even more than before!
This song, your singing of it, every bit of it is f_cking perfect...like Armistead said 'I listen to it everyday'.
This gives me goose bumps. Soooo good.
Gablablablabla Matt your falsetto is so beautiful :) Very glad to have had a friend of mine share your music with me. You're an inspiration. Keep doing what you are doing!
Love this song with a chorus.
breaks my heart every time I hear this song!
beautiful
Such a beautiful song!
This is so moving!
really, really nice. beautiful words and beautiful singing. love the vocal chords for the choir. and yes, i too, think of the things of the past, and this song brings on a rush of tears. i would purchase this artist's music, if i could find it.
Beautiful! the GMCW was brilliant as usual. the shorter of the dancers nearly lost balance twice but thankfully didn't fall over.....lol
Who cares! :) I find it rather cute ... :)
Obrigado Matt. A sua musica preenche o meu coracao vazio dos amores que nunca tive. GOD BLESS YOU.
Very good, I like, respect from Croatia
Love this song so much
Beautiful!
Just beautiful and breath takin .
lovely job guys
Beautifully amazing
Amazing!!!
Wonderful !!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!!! :')'''
You guys have a great voice. I want to be there
That dencer is so freaking handsome and sexy. (The short one)
awsome
Everytime I heqr this song, I start crying, and can't stop. This song reminds me of a terrible breakup with someone who I thought had been my best friend and soulmate. I listen to it, and do my best to heal. It's all I can do. I'll never see him again. Peace, Paul.. wherever you are.
It´s exactly what I´ve been going through lately (even the break up happened about one year and a half), and this song causes the same effect on me. Matt Alber knows for sure how to reach our deepest feelings with his excellent music, helping us to keep going on and tresure memories that once made the world a better place, just because love was part of our lives. Good luck with your healing process
Which dude came first? Rufus Wainwright or Matt Alber?
aha! so i DID spell wainwright right! :)
I'm gay....this song is sweet, but I have to admit, I like the women's voices in the chorus too. :-D
Gorgeous
Very nice music, either way. I like that this version doesn't sound as much like Rufus It makes it a little more original, which I like.
Fabulosoooooo
Wow…awesome. Matt looks so handsome. Are you married? 😁😁😁
How beautiful was that??
💜💜
Does anyone know if there's a gay chorus in Plano, Texas?
Does it get any better than this???
this song is different from the Sylvia Dee and Arthur Kent song of a similar title yet they are both listed as writers with Matt Alber on Songlyrics ( dot ) com....maybe the music is the same just arranged differently but the lyrics are not the same
A W E S O M E
amazing
as Rose said - 'what a tour de France'. heh

The original video of this song, shot in a barber shop, used to make me burst out in years every damn time I showed it to someone!!! I can't say I have seen very many videos of the DCGMC, but if you compare the arrangement used in this beautiful performance to their performance of Dancing Queen, it should be patently obvious why that arrangement is an abject failure!!! This works because like with pop music you have a sole voice singing lead and the other voices sing back up vocals!!! To have 30 or however many voices singing the "lead" vocal in DQ makes it heavy and weighted!!! The OPPOSITE of what the song is intended to portray/evoke!!! And how a group of gay man can take one of the GAYEST SONGS in pop music and flat and heavy is just inexplicable!!! Oh, the bad dancing that looks NOTHING LIKE THE "Dancing Queen" this song celebrates is just unnecessary and further detracts from the emotional impact the song is meant to have!!! DC is FULL of dancing queens who are on display at whatever clubs are the current hit spots!!! Not to mention home to The Washington Ballet, The Dance Institute of Washington and MANY OTHER long standing and reputable dance schools/companies!!! 2 men from either the Washington Ballet or the DIW would have been able to both choreograph and performance a duet that elevated the vocals by showing a visual representation of the fall, fly, being dangled over the edge!!!
Beautiful song and chorus, though for me the dancing takes away from the performance.
Yeah, there's nothing about this that isn't perfect.
The dancing is not necessary for this number. Sorry. The guys voice is the showcase not the dancers.
Matt Performance amazing as usual, dancers are distracting....
Love the lyrics, but he has so much mush in his mouth can't understand the song words unless they are printed out.
I'm not too thrilled that this exquisite song was essentially reduced to being accompaniment for some really mediocre modern dance.
Bernard... you are snob .... plain and simple. an idiot and cruel, foolish, snob.
If you don't like the dancing, watch the official video. I thought the whole thing was rather nice...
I'll not too thrilled with you being a pissy buzzkill queen, but what can you do?
To me, Nice and moving
Noone must agree with me or those who thinks like me.
Please
