Say what you will, but I love seeing the kids and how they are FEELING the music. They're not just singing it because it's a song or because they're in chorus. Just look at them sway, close their eyes, etc. God I hope my kids grow up to appreciate music like this. ANY music, regardless of genre.
Agree!! I just wrote that somewhere else, they're so sweet and real. I prefer them on their own more than the duets with original singers. Though this one is very nice! With most of them the 'star's' energy comes across as being about them which kind of ruins the buzz. LOL.
I've watched a few of these videos now and I've got to say the teacher is phenomenal. If only all teachers had such passion and commitment to excellence. These kids will remember him for the rest of their lives, I'm sure. It's lovely to see kids so engaged and singing with such expression.
Agreed. Knowing the school has probably lost a lot of funding for chorus, to see them STILL posting these videos restores some hope. The logistics and hoops theve had to jump through to just be able to post these videos, and for them to continue to jump through these hoops shows their dedication to this program. Also it's got to help engage the kids and make them excited. Anything that gets kids excited for any school that doesnt injure anyone is a win. Also it doesnt seem to just be a show. This teacher seem to know their stuff and has found a way to teach young children these things, in a way they can understand, which will help the health and longevity of their voice (not just in regards to singing, but speaking). Teaching vocal technique is not the easiest. Even adults struggle with it (kindof like algebra. A lot of people dont get it until all of a sudden it clicks and they have that ah ha moment) and it's something you can overcomplicate when trying to explain. But it's quite obvious these kids are learning not just how to read music and key and pitch and chest voice vs head voice vs mix, but they also seem to be taught the mechanics of it, which is important when it comes to things like support vs strain. Just bravo.
This takes a whole new meaning sung by children. So many have parents walk out, leave or worse. As a teacher, I see that heartbreak. Tears. This song is so much more than what I originally thought. God help the children abandoned, lost, and crying out for help.
Fifth Harmony brought me here and I'm so glad bc these angels somehow made me shed tears just listening to them sing :') I can honestly say I'm a huge fan of them now!
I went to PS 22 50 years ago. The auditorium looks like it has not changed a bit, and the wooden seats are the same. It is so nice to see what good work is going on with the children there today. Great job!
this is so beautiful. coming from the mouths of kids, the song makes me think about all the hardships at home, with peers, and in life in general that young people have to face far before they're ready to.
So sad. i heard someone a few years ago say that kids today have to make decisions at a younger age than we did.....heck they have to make decisions we NEVER had to make.
The emotion that the kids put into it is mesmerizing. You look at most choruses today and the kids just don't care because they have to take it for credits or something unless its like a show choir. The fact that these kids are in 5th grade is amazing. Great job.
When I was growing up , music was always treated as something shameful to be involved in. I became a musician but I really never felt acceptance from the surrounding I was growing up in. Even my family was judgemental about it. It's so beautiful to see kids loving and doing music. Go go go!
What an anomaly.. on so many wonderful levels. These dudes will have good karma all the way to their stairway into heaven.. if nothing else, I am a fan, simply because they devoted their attention to the future of America. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before with any other artists. Very cool. God Bless
This was beautiful and heart-wrenching 2020 keeps bringing me back and forth to melancholy songs and crying things out but I'm telling you, these kids made my day
as I watch this video..it makes me think about all those kids in Aleppo and around the world affected by armed conflict and abuse....they deserve so much more....to be happy, to be loved.. and most specially the right to life...I wonder when that awful war will end.....
These children have been through a lot you can see from their beautiful sad faces. It makes me think of Aleppo too and yes around the world. God BLESS THEM all
KUDOS to the instructor of the PS22 Chorus for instilling an amazing love of lyrics and music to these students… they actually feel the music and commit totally to it!!
These kids are so, so lucky to have a teacher who can not only teach them music but who is able to pick songs that the kids can relate to and that may help them process some of the angst of later years. I just love to listen to them.
Shame to all that put thumbs down. You should be so lucky that your children's school music teacher had a his much passion and get these children noticed by music stars
Thank you for touching my heart with your beautiful voices and this awesome song. Also thank you to ALL the music teachers for all the time you take up with these talented children...GOD BLESS YOU...Peace & Love.
I can't believe today is the very first time I've ever heard of PS22.....You are ALL so SO amazing!!! I've been listening since I saw the first video my friend shared. My word you are all sincerely amazing!! Keep up the GREAT work!
I have to say this song is new to me,even though it's been out for a while...these children did an AMAZING JOB! watch the video for this song it's very touching....
I wish ALL schools would have a music program like this. Music adds SO much to a child's life. It helps them learn and it's a skill they'll adore all their lives. Kudos to this teacher for teaching the kids relevant songs...songs they hear on the computer and radio. And I have to add...they're REALLY GOOD!
I'm a 46 year old (tomorrow 47, btw) man tears welling up in my eyes with the biggest smile on my face!!! This is beautiful !!! All those beautiful faces singing and with such emotions. As God truthfully, intended it. I needed this!!!
Okay, I'm almost 57 years old and I wish I had gone to PS 22. They must have a great musical director, because they have had amazing guests! These are once in a lifetime moments. Good on them!
They are so talented! bless them and you for creating such a wonderful unity within a small community. when hearts are united as one for a common cause - nothing is impossible, not even the in probable!
Thank you for inspiring us, everyday. I rewatch your videos all the time, and try to stay up-to-date with all of your greatness. As an educator, your constant inspiration keeps my heart and soul filled. Bless all of you.
these kids are so so talented and gifted. it blesses me every time is watch and hear them. i get cold chills and they take you to a place were you can feel the music and they work together and they stay humble. this is what real music is about and what it can do for you
These kids are feeling this song...how pretty.. Every kids on this planets deserves better and beautiful life. And that duty is on us...Love is the Answer ❤
This has to be the most beautiful video I have seen on RUclips so far. Well done to all involved, and even as I watch this so many years later, the tears are flowing and the realization that children are our future, is so real.
The attention and dedication these kids put into the performances is a beautiful thing to witness different races, different cultures maybe music is the cure all!
It's unblievable that they are so young and they can emote the lyrics as well as any adult. Their display of passion is monumental. The lion share of the credit must surely go to their teacher. Kudos!
I wish i had opportunities like this in 5th grade, But PS22 is a very talented group and I enjoy listening to this group of students. It cheers me up when i am feeling down and in the dumps and it also calms me down when i am angry and upset. and a saying that i like to say is " The best way to spread scouting spirit, is to sing for everyone to hear", - Robert Baden Powell
I am an art teacher in Kansas. I was completely and totally inspired by this video. Thank you for sharing; this video was motivating to me and many others! Keep up the GREAT work!!!

These kids' lives will forever be affected in a positive way by this music teacher.

I Agree these teachers are fantastic!
Will always remember my music teachers in grade school, JH, and HS.
This takes a whole new meaning sung by children. So many have parents walk out, leave or worse. As a teacher, I see that heartbreak. Tears. This song is so much more than what I originally thought. God help the children abandoned, lost, and crying out for help.
These are some of the best reasons to keep music programs alive in schools... Good on you.
The soloist did a great job. She seemed so humble, the way she shyly looked down after singing.
She was GREAT!
Fifth Harmony brought me here and I'm so glad bc these angels somehow made me shed tears just listening to them sing :') I can honestly say I'm a huge fan of them now!
same :')
same!
Me too!!

kids are just so real ... stay humble

Kudos to the director. He obviously has passion
9 years later. I so want to know where this little girl, now a lady, is now? She always caught my eye. Hope her dreams are coming true. ❤

+SoundersFCFan AHAHAHAHAHAHAA
+SoundersFCFan actually, the chorus was founded in 2000, the school itself was built for MANY MANY years before
this is so beautiful. coming from the mouths of kids, the song makes me think about all the hardships at home, with peers, and in life in general that young people have to face far before they're ready to.
So sad. i heard someone a few years ago say that kids today have to make decisions at a younger age than we did.....heck they have to make decisions we NEVER had to make.
the girl soloist did such a good job. and everyone else. its so cute.
I'm in 3rd grade we are doing a choir I love this song 😘💕💕
The emotion that the kids put into it is mesmerizing. You look at most choruses today and the kids just don't care because they have to take it for credits or something unless its like a show choir. The fact that these kids are in 5th grade is amazing. Great job.
Chad looks so cute and awkward sitting with the kids.
This is so cool and adorable.
These give the chills. The kids are amazing and their music teacher is a genius! Bravo
i dont know why every time i listen to those guys my tears drop up :((((((
yasser abozaid I tear up at season 7 ep 1 of the walking dead

All the love from Nigeria
It's unbelievable with how much emotion they sing...
I love them
Amazing 2020 I'm watching and I'm very emotional

Just wonderful❤ what a teacher, brings out the best in those talented children

This is wonderful! You can see they truly love what they're doing. Props to the teachers they're doing it right
Wow these kids are amazing. They're young adults now I wonder what they doing maybe still singing maybe thanks for the video😊👍👍👍👍
Music is a wonderful thing. Too see all these kids put they're emotions in this song. School districts need to put this back in curriculum.

Incredible. I couldn't stop the tears.
KUDOS to the instructor of the PS22 Chorus for instilling an amazing love of lyrics and music to these students… they actually feel the music and commit totally to it!!
I liked this song, I found it pleasant, then I hear this version and suddenly I find the song amazing an powerful. Thank you PS22 Chorus
These kids are so, so lucky to have a teacher who can not only teach them music but who is able to pick songs that the kids can relate to and that may help them process some of the angst of later years. I just love to listen to them.
This is the right way to teach music.
Goosebumps every single time I've watched this.....and I've watched this video a lot. Flipping fantastic.

How amazing they invited some great singers
Shivers. Always thought of this song as an ending of a romance but coming from these kids made me think of the lyrics in a new light.
The attention and dedication these kids put into the performances is a beautiful thing to witness different races, different cultures maybe music is the cure all!
THIS IS SO GOOD
This is just amazing all of it..... the kids, the teacher, the band...
one day-i hope you see this-i gave you 15 years- wanted it to be a lifetime- i miss us.
This just made my day....
It's unblievable that they are so young and they can emote the lyrics as well as any adult. Their display of passion is monumental.
The lion share of the credit must surely go to their teacher.
Kudos!
I'm on tears ♥️😭😭😭😭
This makes my heart happy. Thank GOD for MUSIC.
So emotional well done again kids.
