Used to sing this to my son when he was utero. He passed away at 10 days. I miss him every single day. But I lived in a world of pure imagination. Those months were everything and more. Mommy loves you 💕
Katie, I just wanted to say, your comment was as beautiful as the song. Your heart speaks powerful messages of light through the universe. Always remember that you are positively stellar.
We all know Josh is amazing... but seriously, I want to shake the hand of whoever created the effects for this video. The visuals in this music video are just beautiful! Great job by Josh as always but seriously, whoever had the vision for a music video like this is just brilliant and deserves a raise!
I'm REALLY surprised that this video only has 1.6 million views and 15k Likes. This one song was the reason I bought the entire album. Josh's version of this song is truly incredible - his voice, emotions/feelings - everything that makes Josh "Josh" - in this song always brings tears to my eyes just from the power and beauty. I'd think it would have been more popular.
My dad passed away the same year as Gene Wilder did due to his cancer and this song became really special to me as it reminds me of what my dad wants me to live in my own happiness and never be sad but I can't stop shedding tears whenever I hear this song 😭
The colors scheme physically relaxes me, it's something about the colors that gives me some sort of flashback to my childhood, accompanied by Groban's beautiful singing make me feel what ever the opposite of depression is.
When I first heard you sing the souncloud clip of this song at x-mas, I knew immediately that this album would be "to die for"!!! You're like the Pied Piper of music. I hear you sing and I know I'd go anywhere with you. Expressions of such beauty are what make life worth living. That and laughter. You are a master of the funny bone, as well, and I'm consistently tickled by your tweets. You have everything we need. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Not sure how there could be any thumbs down on this one. His voice is amazing. He made this song his own feeling every word uttered. If he sang it me in person I'd probably start crying 😭
He sings beautiful. 😍😘😎😻😽💫🌟✨💃💛💙💜💚❤💔💗💋💌💘💞💖💕💓👣🐶🐺🐸🐰🐹🐭🐯🐨🐻🐷🐽🐮🐗🐧🐼🐘🐑🐴🐒🐵🐦🐤🐥🐣🐔🐍🐢🐚🐙🐌🐞🐜🐝🐛🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🐄🐏🐀🐃🐅🐇🐉🐎🐐🐡🐲🐂🐁🐖🐕🐓🐊🐫🐪🐆🐈🐩🐾💐🌸🌷🍀🌹🌻🌺🌼🌜🌋🌠🌌⭐🌈🎊🎨🎬🎤🎺🎻🎹🎶🎵🎼🎧🎷🎸🍵☕🍹🍷🍕🍔🍟🍗🍥🍣🍱🍤🍛🍝🍖🍜🍲🍢🍡🍧🍨🍦🍮🍩🍞🍳🎂🍰🍪🍫🍬🍭🍯🍎🍏🍊🍋🍒🍇🍉🍠🍍🍐🍌🍈🍑🍓🍆🍅🌽💒🏩🏰🗽✈🎠🎡🇺🇸🎭🎪
Songs like this were born during the great depression and the World Wars.... The song writer drew on his childhood experiences to create masterpieces like this and "the cardigan can".
Well,this song represents my lifelong attitude about creativity.It spurred me on to a successful art career and a totally colorful life! It's nice to see that 22 years later,the inspiration it still holds affects an entirely different generation,and probably all the generations in between.Its such a beautiful world!
Great job great voice but the duet with JACKIE was unbelievable heart stopping What a beautiful blend of voices. Why do you nit team up with her you complement each other in ways I can't describe. Just give it a try what have you got to loose? Nothing but oh what you could gain. Gid bless love ya
Stumbled across this on accident while looking for a song for my fiance and I to have our first dance to at our wedding. I can't think of anything better than this! I hope she agrees lol
This is sooo beautiful! When I saw that he was doing this song I was happy, but a bit skeptical cause Willy Wonka is one of my favourite films of all time. However, after I heard him sing it, all my reservations melted like chocolate. He has a stunning voice (he's one of my favourite artists) and does so much justice to not only the song but to Gene Wilder and the creators of the film as well. I cannot wait until this album comes out.
Absolutely love this rendition....so pure. Yes, I remember Gene Wilder and cried when I first heard the song as a child...but this version is near perfect brings the same emotion. Thank you JG.
Josh is the only other person to do this song justice besides Gene. Honoured to have heard it live in Auckland earlier this year :) Simply magical! Gene would've been approved :)
Josh - What a Wonderful, Beautiful and Powerful reinvention of such a special Song. The Message to all of us is a tremendous Gift in these challenging times brought to life by the visual effects and punctuated with pitch perfect vocals.
This guy was my favorite artist as a kid, listening to hits like You're Still You and You Raise Me Up. He kinda fell out of the spotlight in recent years, but it is really heartwarming to see him singing one of my favorite songs as a kid. Thanks Josh!

Is this what heaven sounds like?
Josh Groban should play the next phantom of the opera. please make this a reality.
His voice sounds like a Disney prince.
Omg yesssss
Agree 100%
Actually, I'd say it's even better than that!
I thought this was from Disney-
Such a spot on comment.
If anyone was going to do this song justice, it was definitely Josh Groban. Dude's voice is absolute magic.
Damn, Josh has a GODLY voice...
When I finally escape this world, I want this played at my wake.
I cry every time I listen to this rendition of Pure Imagination. It is simply majestic and captivating in every way.
Agreed
I tear up and smile at the same time.
Are you like 59 or smt cuz-
no one cares fatty go to hell
What I did not send that
WOW!!!! Josh, Can't wait for you to come back to Tampa
The only cover that really captured the original atmosphere.
My favorite singer just did my favorite song from my favorite movie. For the love of all that is holy, PLEASE TOUR THIS ALBUM!!!
"Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three."
Also, I just want to say that I'm very happy this exists.
He is breath taking, like aways.
I love you Josh Groban! 🙂 💗
Going to see him in London in May 2016 CANNOT WAIT!
Hope to see him in Durban Next Year
Used to sing this to my son when he was utero. He passed away at 10 days. I miss him every single day. But I lived in a world of pure imagination. Those months were everything and more. Mommy loves you 💕
Bless you ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss!
😢 how heartbreaking - God bless you.
He was bathed in the warmth of your love😊
He is, and always will be, Loved!💝🌟No greater gift than that🕊
his voice is so soothing ^w^
just think this song was written in a hour over the phone between 2 magical musicians. Thank You for this beautiful melody and words.
Just pure beauty through and through.
Probably the best version
too much perfections , his voice is not too hard but wise sounds like magic
Me: I really wish I could marry this man so he could sing to me everyday
Josh: In your Pure Imagination :)
Katie, I just wanted to say, your comment was as beautiful as the song. Your heart speaks powerful messages of light through the universe. Always remember that you are positively stellar.
@@stellarproductions8888 Wow! Thank you so much. 😊
Wow! Oh wow! My god, I was not expected to be so uplifted in a place on the internet below the actual video. You’re doing great work!
NJCNSSKJVD

Wrench this guy is quite obviously better at singing then gene but gene is still the favorite because he made the original
Thanks Gosh Crying by myself here. This is so good.
We all know Josh is amazing... but seriously, I want to shake the hand of whoever created the effects for this video. The visuals in this music video are just beautiful! Great job by Josh as always but seriously, whoever had the vision for a music video like this is just brilliant and deserves a raise!
U rock josh my 9 year old can not sleep with out your music. She loves pure
pur imagination. She has bad dreams with out your music.
And now I'm in tears. Thank you for covering this song Mr. Groban!
New era, new Wonka!
How does this not have millions and millions of views by now? Seriously; this is amazing.
This song always makes me sad. The orchestra behind Josh is wonderful.
I'm REALLY surprised that this video only has 1.6 million views and 15k Likes. This one song was the reason I bought the entire album. Josh's version of this song is truly incredible - his voice, emotions/feelings - everything that makes Josh "Josh" - in this song always brings tears to my eyes just from the power and beauty. I'd think it would have been more popular.
Popular isn't always the best. 🙂
This is simply wonderful
A very lovely song. It's pure beautiful, the lyric is clear & bring us the beautiful imaginative world of hope & joy we looking forward to.
Awesome track. I hope this track would become the first song from the album.
Amazing how this song can make a middle aged man feel like he's 4 years old again.
simply too wonderful for words xx
Our souls tug at our hearts when we listen to these words!❤; There's such truth in them!🕊
I totally agree!!! I think there is more reality to this song than any news station!!!
Will be downloading this new album!
Even us old folk can appreciate this young mans way with music.
man, been awhile since i got goose bumps from a song.
'Meet me there, you'll be free, if you truly wish to be.'
OMG! So buying this Album!
My dad passed away the same year as Gene Wilder did due to his cancer and this song became really special to me as it reminds me of what my dad wants me to live in my own happiness and never be sad but I can't stop shedding tears whenever I hear this song 😭
bloody magical!
❤❤❤ This Song is beautiful! And I love this video.
Stunning.
When I heard the announcement of this song during Christmas I actually cried. I also just finished learning this on the harp!
Finally something that tops AT&T's 5th Birthday commercial. Scratches my itch.
Exquisite musical composition accentuated by one of the most beautiful voices in the world.
just one word.....
WOW
The colors scheme physically relaxes me, it's something about the colors that gives me some sort of flashback to my childhood, accompanied by Groban's beautiful singing make me feel what ever the opposite of depression is.
Absolute Amazing voice for a good song of a great actor
When I first heard you sing the souncloud clip of this song at x-mas, I knew immediately that this album would be "to die for"!!! You're like the Pied Piper of music.

You are a master of the funny bone, as well, and I'm consistently tickled by your tweets. You have everything we need. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Up until now... it has only 200k+ views? This deserves millions!!
Not sure how there could be any thumbs down on this one. His voice is amazing. He made this song his own feeling every word uttered. If he sang it me in person I'd probably start crying 😭
I think the thumbs down is just there. No numbers next to it. Thank goodness!
He sings beautiful. 😍😘😎😻😽💫🌟✨💃💛💙💜💚❤💔💗💋💌💘💞💖💕💓👣🐶🐺🐸🐰🐹🐭🐯🐨🐻🐷🐽🐮🐗🐧🐼🐘🐑🐴🐒🐵🐦🐤🐥🐣🐔🐍🐢🐚🐙🐌🐞🐜🐝🐛🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🐄🐏🐀🐃🐅🐇🐉🐎🐐🐡🐲🐂🐁🐖🐕🐓🐊🐫🐪🐆🐈🐩🐾💐🌸🌷🍀🌹🌻🌺🌼🌜🌋🌠🌌⭐🌈🎊🎨🎬🎤🎺🎻🎹🎶🎵🎼🎧🎷🎸🍵☕🍹🍷🍕🍔🍟🍗🍥🍣🍱🍤🍛🍝🍖🍜🍲🍢🍡🍧🍨🍦🍮🍩🍞🍳🎂🍰🍪🍫🍬🍭🍯🍎🍏🍊🍋🍒🍇🍉🍠🍍🍐🍌🍈🍑🍓🍆🍅🌽💒🏩🏰🗽✈🎠🎡🇺🇸🎭🎪

Hahaha oh man...
The only thing wrong with this comment?...
Nothing, it just needs more likes!!!! 💖😜🤪
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Achingly beautiful! Thank you Josh!
Asked Alexa to put on some chill music whilst I was high, and she puts on this... I cried and haven’t stopped listening to it
Gene Wilder is smiling down on all of us from Heaven, the Magic lives on through this interpretation by Josh Groban…💕
There he still had that tender shine in him beautiful eyes.
This gives me a Disney Prince vibe it's so awesomeeeeeeee
AMAZING rendition video and performance. Amazing josh.
I get chills from this video every time
beautiful as always
Lovely arrangement! Wonderful orchestral performance! Bravo!!
this is a very relaxing song
He blinks in time with the song
with his voice he can wear anything he wants. I love signing this song. I have sung it myself.
why does this song make me cry? the melody and harmony are so haunting and dark but also happiness is being talked about.
Ikr
It is deliberately melancholic. The main inspiration was "Somewhere over the Rainbow" which is also a melancholic tune.
Songs like this were born during the great depression and the World Wars.... The song writer drew on his childhood experiences to create masterpieces like this and "the cardigan can".
Because you realize that your imagination is the only True and real God.The real worship of God is to use the gifts he has given you.Best:)
I think it's how the song makes me feel like there running away from something. But its gonna be worth it
We are the music makers,.. We are the dreamers of dreams.
He nailed every note! Vocal (and musical) perfection!! Not certain if anyone else could sing it this well. Bravo, Josh...
What a king
His voice sent chills down my back. Damn, he's perfected this song. This makes me want to hug him more!!!!
No one better than to sing this song but Josh Groban! AMAZING Vocal! Damn!
when they say ur imagination creates ur reality they mean it, you can believe what ever you want, it don’t have to be true or wrong.
Pure Class...Elegancia...so soothing💖💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵👏👏👏👏👏
The memory of Gene Wilder brought me here! Josh Groban does an amazing cover of the song
This is the finest tribute there will ever be.
kitty susca Agreed. It's even hard to believe that 45 years have passed since Willy Wonka was released.
Not for me.I was 10 years old.The perfect age.Now I'm 55.
kitty susca Well I was born 22 years afterwards
Well,this song represents my lifelong attitude about creativity.It spurred me on to a successful art career and a totally colorful life! It's nice to see that 22 years later,the inspiration it still holds affects an entirely different generation,and probably all the generations in between.Its such a beautiful world!
How beautiful.
I simply love this mans voice.
Great job great voice but the
duet with JACKIE was unbelievable heart stopping
What a beautiful blend of voices. Why do you nit team up with her you complement each other in ways I can't describe. Just give it a try what have you got to loose?
Nothing but oh what you could gain. Gid bless love ya
Josh's cover of this song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. It's absolutely stunning, and I know Gene would be proud. ♥
Your voice is beautiful and perfect
Absolutely stunning...just about perfection
Mr. Wilder was a good man, and to see him gone, and to hear this song. It is truly heartbreaking.
Stumbled across this on accident while looking for a song for my fiance and I to have our first dance to at our wedding. I can't think of anything better than this! I hope she agrees lol
Woah, mad chills everywhere.
This is sooo beautiful! When I saw that he was doing this song I was happy, but a bit skeptical cause Willy Wonka is one of my favourite films of all time. However, after I heard him sing it, all my reservations melted like chocolate. He has a stunning voice (he's one of my favourite artists) and does so much justice to not only the song but to Gene Wilder and the creators of the film as well. I cannot wait until this album comes out.
I can't wait for the album.
Absolutely love this rendition....so pure. Yes, I remember Gene Wilder and cried when I first heard the song as a child...but this version is near perfect brings the same emotion. Thank you JG.
UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH JOSH GROBAN
Josh is the only other person to do this song justice besides Gene. Honoured to have heard it live in Auckland earlier this year :) Simply magical! Gene would've been approved :)
I love the orchestration of this version- much warmer than the brash movie strings of the original, although that gives it character.
I love the orchestration too
Josh - What a Wonderful, Beautiful and Powerful reinvention of such a special Song. The Message to all of us is a tremendous Gift in these challenging times brought to life by the visual effects and punctuated with pitch perfect vocals.
Wow... Absolutely perfect, a great singer
This guy was my favorite artist as a kid, listening to hits like You're Still You and You Raise Me Up. He kinda fell out of the spotlight in recent years, but it is really heartwarming to see him singing one of my favorite songs as a kid. Thanks Josh!
YOU BETTER SING THAT!!! GO JOSH! :D
So beautiful. Your songs seemed to reflect that search for a love lost in the past. You put your soul and heart in each song you sing and it moves me.
Omg that was beautiful (tearing up) 💖💖💖
