I'm from Northern England, and I well remember this song being released round about 1985.
Well played Aussie's, you've done us Northerners proud.✊️
I teared up, too. This, like the best songs, evokes a mood and memory.
I'm from northeastern New England USA and this song always made me feel so proud to be from a northern town ❤
Is it weird that I’m tearing up? I feel like this is what the world needs todo more of right now!
Agreed. Especially with this song.
You are not alone :)
Me too I had to stop and start again next
Not in the slightest. This is what it sounds like when power and goodness harmonize.
Not weird at all. You have a heart, something sadly lacking in a vast majority of humanity in these times.
This channel is underrated
I just want to spend the rest of my time on earth involved in something so...HUMAN like this. Just put me in the middle, to sing and drink a pint or 10 for eternity.
This blew my mind. How powerful. I would have broken down in tears. I already did. Beautiful, just beautiful.🤯
These must be my people; They drink and sing my favorite song!🥰
and in a pub...
Still haven't worked out why this hasn't had a million views....
I absolutely love this song 😢. They did such an amazing job. Love it.
For those of us that were in our teens and early 20’s when this was first released, 1985/6 , I defy anyone to find a song that is more evocative of that time. I have immediate goosebumps and tears of happiness! Pure joy 👌🏻
And what’s so bloody amazing about this video is that you can see that joy in each and Every one of these peoples faces 😊
This has just made my entire year 👍🏻
Thank you SO much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are right ..it really does stand out for that period . A very different sounding song with both dream like and uplifting feelings .
aye, but why were they mainly all women ?
@@arthurdonachy Now that’s a question Art ??!!
@@arthurdonachy because they thought it would be a good idea and got the tickets first, I imagine.
Well... I always thought that Roger Waters was involved here... but it was David Gilmore instead... Dream Academy did sound a little Pink Floyish in that song. But this Chor here is superb.
The world needs more of this......desperately and immediately.
I'm telling as many people as I can about this-----pure JOY !!! What a beautiful break from all our troubles!
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a “good” singer…when you get this many people sharing a moment, everyone sounds great.
A great crowd of Australians...............fantastic singing
When you suddenly realize why life is so special made possible by people like this. Awesome
Fantastic - the taiko drums really made it! :-)
A beautiful music is universal.
From Tokyo Japan
Love the lady on stage ..she makes you want to sing ..so enthusiastic. Looks like she is truly having fun.
Why do I have tears in my eyes? Fantastic.
‘Kin hell, I thought people around here were only capable of “Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!”.
Ahahaha love this 😂
I'm not crying, you're crying.
That was a joy to watch.
I wish we had this in my town. Every single face in this crowd shines with a bright beauty.
In my opinion, for what it’s worth, this is the best version of this great song that I’ve heard. I can’t stop playing it whenever I need to be cheered up.
This is the best thing I've seen on RUclips for a long long long time! Congratulations to everyone involved, this is brilliant, I wish I was there!
I live in northern Canada. You made me smile
Singing gonna be back. Virus will be gone. Stay strong everyone! Cheers from Taiwan.
Quick update - virus is not gone. Singing is not yet back. Maybe next year?
@@anraka8213 maybe soon~ dont lose hope
Like the best songs, this evokes a mood and a memory. Seeing a chorus of strangers perform it just makes it more powerful. As the train rolled out of sight, bye-bye.
Love it! I'm a northern town boy (Newcastle upon Tyne) and this touched me. Tears in my eyes and hands in the air!
Nice place, I travelled through there during my leave from Afghanistan in 2014.
It's truly infectious isn't it........People power, beam across my face all through the video & tearing up for some reason lol!!
A fellow Geordie, wey aye
Here's a new benchmark for a song - Can it be Pub Choired?
From what ive seen anything can be 'pub choired' mate 😂
One of my favourite songs ever! And such a great treatment! Well done, folks! You make my home town proud.💕
The best thing i've seen on the internet in ages😃
Recorded on my 60th birthday. I watch them all but this one was special. Thank you
David Smith hope you had the happiest of birthdays
I can't stop watching this. It has me smiling and in tears (of joy).
Glad to hear Pub Choir is coming to UK in Summer 24. I have my ticket already.
If joy had a sound... THIS would be it's voice.
Was there, was amazing!
I bet the energy in that room was crazy!
@@ejoy78 So envious! Stay well. x
I envy you!
I'm so jealous but so very happy for you!
Looks so much fun!!
Jealous! What a wonderful experience that must have been.
This song always gets me welling up, I love this version so much!
brilliant. everybody is having such fun. we should all be this happy. love it, thank you
That was amazingly beautiful! You doing the world a great service, bringing people together in song, joy and positivity!
Awesome performance! My complements to the conductor, musicians and choir.
Great job! And so many pretty faces in that crowd!
I had a bad childhood, made some friends around the time this was released, and things got good. I made the mistake of moving away and they've been bad ever since. I'll go back to my friends one day. This was beautiful.
I'm an 80s man through and through. Thank you for this from the bottom of my heart.
God, that's awesome.
Always reminds me of A King of the Hill and Buckley’s ghost
Amazing!!!!! how good was the impact with the Taiko Drums
ASTRID YOU ARE AMAZING PLEASE DONT EVER STOP LEADING THE WORLD IN SONG THE GREAT UNIFIER OF HUMANITY
Astrid, Waveney, and team! I love Pub Choir and Couch Choir! Thanks for the happy tears tonight! Love to you all! ❤🎶❤
I'm in agreement with Susan Keller. A moment in time captured of good that is still in this world, no agenda, no motives just the joy of a song that we know and love. Enjoy life we are all in this together. This will be probably my most favorite rendition of all time of this song. Love it! Thank you Pub Choir for posting this.
Awesome ❤
I grew up in a small town in northern Ohio. I live gulf side in Florida in an Urban area...Jesus...what am I doing HERE!?
I need to go back to life in my northern town.
This is emotional therapy! Thank you for putting this online!!!! ❤️
Just wonderful having audience become the stars!
That was brilliant !!!!!!!
This song is legendary... It trancends time... Not many songs can say that!
There is no word for this but sublime.
Outstanding
Smashing, love it, makes me smile everytime I play it. Well done to all. Now please come to England and experience a Pub Choir here.
Absolutely f ing awesome! Onya Brissy!
Beautiful choir and tribute Dream Academy Beautiful song unforgettable...!!!
Guys Choir was my life for 12 years. I miss it so much. Music, heals and unite. What a jol!!
No puedo dejar de maravillarme por lo que estoy escuchando.
Como tantas voces juntas pueden vibrar de ese modo!!!!pufff.
Es lo que necesitamos en un mundo como este.
Bravo!!!!A seguir por esa senda.
The singing is brilliant it would be such fun participating in such a large, great choir
I knew I'd cry. I cried
Inspiring! Astrid, what joy you bring!!! How wonderful would this be for our regional areas suffering drought. Oh, if there could only be a pub choir in all of our towns going through such hard times.
I can only imagine who it must have felt to be there...powerful, joyful!
Just walked past the salvation army band in croydon and immidiately this song came to mind.oh to live in a northern town.come to croydon if you want to see grim.😂
how much do i love this video? what a brilliant performance.
Came here via Dario G (who sadly passed today), he sampled the original song & released it as Sunchyme ...found this video after looking for different version of the original - marvellous (as it goes I'm from a ((very) northern English town - almost Scotland, which gives the song more resonanance)
This is one of the greatest things I have ever listened too!! Fucking incredible!!
Bloody well done to all those involved, from a St.Helens fella that spent a coupla years fixing roofs in Australia.
Lovely to see people enjoying themselves. Amazing well done!
Que incrível! Deu vantade de ir viajar só pra ir conhecer e participar tbm , muito lindo, estão de parabéns!
Goosies on my goosies, good stuff 💞

Food for the soul.this is what it should be about
