Playing Joseph recently in the official school's adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit show, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, this was Cormac's favourite song. We hope you enjoy his recording of 'Close Every Door’
Boy soprano, Cormac gives a unique treble performance of the musical theatre classic Close Every Door, a song made famous by star performances from the likes of Donny Osmond, Jac Yarrow, Joe McElderry, Phillip Schofield and Jason Donovan.

Playing Joseph recently at school with all my friends was such a great experience for everyone. We worked really hard but we'd great fun too. While we did our play, life changed horrifically for the citizens of Ukraine. Just like with 'Empty Chairs' the words of this beautiful song took on an entirely new meaning for me but I kept it v simple this time.
My hope is the words of this song will create pictures all by themselves.
My whole family would like to dedicate this to everyone suffering and please, please know that you are never alone 💓💓 💙💙💛💛💓💓
You are a very compassionate young man.
Very beautiful sound and song
How talented,I hope you can make your family proud little cormac
Beautiful yet again
You are full of empathy very unusual for someone so young x
This is one of my favourite shows. It brings me comfort and joy remembering my mom. You’re wise beyond your years. Yes this song and show have an even deeper message now due to Ukraine 🇺🇦. The future is so bright for you my dear. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸
From an American living in Australia.
@@michelle11457 and Cormac did such a wonderful, soulful job of singing this song. He is an amazing young man!!
When I listen to singers, I often become more aware of the singer than the song. When you sing, I forget about you. I am pulled into the music and the story until the last notes fade. Then I say "wow! What a voice. What beautiful technique. "
This is a lovely comment to read, thank you very much and I am so glad you enjoyed listening 🤗
That's it!!!
very pure voice - and a humble young man. Thank you for cheering this world up with your heartfelt talents.
Счастье слышать этого ребенка!!!
Du singst so wunderschön und zart!! Danke.
There is a separation between people who are following earthly addictions in many forms and those who have theirselves freed from evil. And now have to hide and protect theirselves against addicts who attack them everyday.
Everyone can sing but not many can deliver a transcendent performance as you did. Thank you.
Voice of an Angel. Well done boy
Thank you very much 🤗
This delightful young man never ceases to amaze me.
Just amazing and you're right, these songs (Empty Chairs...) have a new meaning. How sad but you make the music and words relatable and meaningful in a whole new way, yet borne again. Thank you, Cormac! Your voice and passion are amazing!
REAL MEN come in all sizes and this lad is a REAL MAN.
Thank you for dedicating this beautiful song to Ukraine. Your voice is magic.
It really struck me just how the words worked for that, thank you 🤗🌞💙💛💙💛💙💛
Your accuracy with pitch is spot on, if anyone gives you any gip about when your voice changes, ignore it, you will still be a great singer. Then again, I bet you know that already ;-)
Thumbs up.
I really don't know already 🤗 I just hope🤗 and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🤞 And I do get gip, people like to point out that it will all be different when my voice changes and I get some delightful comments about the physical bit too which are really not very nice!! some even sound glad!! so I REALLY REALLY appreciate your comment and your kind words and I am very, very grateful for your support, Thank you 🤗🙏
A wonderful rendition of this very moving song - lovely diction Cormac
Australia here - I think you have a beautiful voice and a wonderful memory 🌟💕
I can’t hold my tears. Sooooo touching, my dear.
Pure and beautiful 😍 xx
Thank you 😃🌞
Thank you, young man. I just saw your rendition of 'empty chairs at empty tables' now I can't seee anymorre thru the tears
Cormac, I am looking through You Tube to hear all that I can of you singing!! You sound like an angel, young man. You give me goose-bumps when I hear you, and I can hear the sincerity in your voice when you dedicate this to all people who suffer in this world. I can hardly wait until you play a lead role in a West End Musical, for you will be there, of that I am sure. I would fly from my home country to see and hear you. Have a long and happy life Cormac, singing all the way.
Again, purity of voice!
You are beyond brilliant.... i love everything you've recorded. Absolutely stunning
Привет вам из Украины, Одесса, всегда слушаю вас с удовольствием, ваше пение вдохновляет в эти не легкие дни для нас
I wish you peace. May the war end as soon as possible!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Я так рад, что кто-то из Украины услышал эту песню. это все, о чем я думал, когда я пел эту песню, я так сожалею обо всей боли и страданиях, причиненных вашему народу и вашей стране, и я молюсь о мире в ближайшее время
@@DanielChien Well, well!! Fancy running into you here!! ☺️☺️☺️
@@DanielChien and yes, I hope that the war in the Ukraine is over soon, with a decisive victory for the Ukrainians.
@@CormacThompson you and Daniel Chien do so much to bring peace with your voices. Thank you.
My 92-year old mother loves this song (and the entire musical). Thank you for giving me an excuse to connect with her--I sent her the RUclips link of you singing it. You have an angelic voice and a spirit to match. Thanks for singing!
Hello Wendy, thank you for sharing this with your Mum, I hope that she enjoyed it🌞
Dear Cormac, I love your singing, angelic personality, wisdom and poise far beyond your years. When I listen to this song and Empty Chairs I visualize the world ending and these songs being broadcast everywhere. I think they're very appropriate for the times we are living in and thank you very much for sharing them with us. Your parents and family also need to be applauded for your wonderful upbringing. I'm sure they must be very proud of you, and what a blessing you must be to them.
Beautiful!
I hope Donny Osmond has heard this. If so, he's probably given it two thumbs-up!
Hi Linda 😃 I hope so too, wouldn't it be fab 🤗
@@CormacThompson SO fab!
and he can even stream it on Apple and Spotify now too so I've increased my chances 🤗
@@CormacThompson 👍
This was very well done. Thank you. Glad you got to do the whole musical.
So was I, it was brilliant, I couldnt decided to record this one or Any Dream will Do but like when I recorded Empty Chairs the song took on new meaning to me because of the war in Ukraine so I chose this one. Thank you for listening 🤗
You just said what I was thinking. And above that Cormac has a very deep and compassionate heart for a boy at his age. I hope so very much he is able to preserve it during his entire life!
A very haunting song, a perfectly brilliant performance Cormac!! Congratulations on suspending time a little bit, I'm rather speechless now!!
thank you im glad you enjoyed it, we'd a tech hitch and hadnt added all the info about the song but we've fixed that now 🙏🤗
Hauntingly beautiful Cormac!! This is a stunning performance!!
You are a gift to the world!❣❣❣
Frightening, gorgeous.
Beautifully grand, Cormac! X
Beautifully sung Cormac.
Thank you Cormac for sharing your beautiful amazing voice with us.
Cormac, would you have thought that you would make people happy with your wonderful voice!
its not something i thought about when i started singing i think i was too young but when i add new songs and see what people v kindly write on their comments i do understand this much more than i used to and then when i sing again it helps me to tell the story of the new song i sing too 🙏😊🎵🤗
I love your foreboding feel to this
thank you 🤗apparently i do that really well!
This is hauntingly beautiful.
always amazing Cormac!!!
You have a voice that melts the hardest heart, your singing brings tears to my eyes. Keep the "Pixie Dust" you are sprinkling on the people...we REALLY NEED IT! Tears again= happy ones! Thank you Kathleen
Sorry lad i just love your voice. I disabled and you bring happiness to mr.
Beyond beautiful sweet Cormack. It is a privilege to listen to you. God bless you!
Thank you very much, I am so glad you enjoyed listening to this lovely song. Being Joseph in the play at school was brilliant too 😃🤗🎶
@@CormacThompson Proud of you dear Cormac . Continue sharing your beautiful voice for it's touching heart and soul
Ahh! this beautiful haunting melody is made even greater by your singing of it Cormac. Every time I find a new song on yootoob of yours I get completely blown away by your spectacular talent. 🙏
Hi, Cormac.
Our daughter was the Narrator for this musical in high school. Beautiful music!
Your pianist is lovely! And you are an angel...bringing joy ever time you sing!
Bonnie in Indianapolis ❤
Love love love it. It brought back memories. I sang this when we did Joseph in school, nowhere near as beautiful as this Cormac. Please keep the joy coming.
Excellent. I felt transported to the theatre and enjoyed it very much. 👏
it is such a good song 😃😃 i loved singing it, thank you 😊
I'm a rock singer, pianist, violinist, but I love classical music, MOZART, among others, anyway, this song you sang has ups and downs, it's hard to sing, but you did it, it has many vocal qualities👍😍🎧🎶
I love Mozart too 😊 and you're right it was much harder to sing than i thought it would be when id just listened to it 🎵🎵🎹🎹
Great to wake up to Cormac, this was published in the early hours here in the UK, so it's great to see so many positive comments from around the world here already. Beautifully sung. 👏👏👏
thank you John 🙏 Bit of a technical hitch with vid didnt quite mean for it to go live in the middle of the night in England there was still some info to add oops 🙄😊 we've fixed it so all ok now missing info all there now 👍 😃
@@CormacThompson the important part wasn't missing - your beautiful voice!!.
I’m just discovering this very talented young man and can’t get enough of him ! Beautiful flawless voice ❤️
Such a beautiful voice,
Spine tingling! Such an amazing voice.
This is such a beautiful and touching song and your rendition is fantastic Cormac! The words definitely create their own pictures in my mind as I listen. Bravo my talented friend! ❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you Ellie🤗🤗
Un angel del cielo que bajo a cantar.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
🙏 Heavenly
I first saw you on a compilation of auditions (I think it was BGT) and I’m so glad I found you. Your voice is beautiful. It gives me chills. This is also one of my favorite songs. Keep putting out videos!
Cormac, you are making this world a better place to live in. I couldn't imagine that 13 yo boy from the UK would take care about a distant country like Ukraine. I live in Slovakia, about 100 km away from the Ukrainian borders and many people in Slovakia hate Ukrainians and support Russian aggressors. It's so terrifying and sad.
But your words beautifully sung and written in these comments give me a hope that the world could be better. You are not just an exceptional young singer but also exceptionally intelligent young lad and I wish you your dreams come true in your life. You deserve it.
The world is a v scary place sometimes thank you for your lovely comment 💙💛💙💛💙💛
Wonderful diction. A joy to hear.
Thank you very much, lovely of you to take the time to comment, much appreciated 🌞😁
Your voice has so much innocence and you are just so cute. I proud for your success. Keep it up buddy.
One of my favourite songs.... Thanks, dear Cormac, you sing it so nicely! 🌻
love this🎈
Just wonderful. This and Empty Chairs are both stunningly beautiful. Your voice is surely at its peak. I hope there will be another CD soon.
Thank you John 🤗🤗 I do seem to be getting a bit more power from somewhere which feels good. No plans for another CD, I'm sorry! I don't have a record label anymore so it is a quite difficult to do that. I do hope to record more songs individually like this though 🤗😊🤗
Great job as always
What a stunning performance Cormac! You sang it so beautifully! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🤗🤗 I really love the song that definitely helps 🙏
ne plus ultra. Who better to sing about the "children of Israel" than an actual child?! Beautifully and sensitively sung. BRAVO! I'm sure Lord Lloyd--Webber would thoroughly approve!
Eccezionale, una favolosa voce per canti e performance sublime, congratulazioni!
Bonjour CORMAC!Voila un très bel enregistrement de ta voix d'enfant que maintenant tu n'as plus!Mais ta nouvelle voix est très belle aussi et puissante!Bravo cher AMI!Continue tu as un bel avenir devant toi!Christian.
Hello CORMAC!Here is a very beautiful recording of your child's voice that you no longer have!But your new voice is also very beautiful and powerful!Bravo dear FRIEND!Keep going, you have a bright future ahead of you!Christian.
Love the song. You made an excellent cover of it.

You're amazing with sensitive songs. Empty chairs is great, but this one is too. Keep up the good work Cormac
I'm v v glad you enjoyed this one too, thank you 😁😁🎵🎵
✨⭐🌟♥🌟⭐✨Great performance
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗🙏🎵
Lovely rendition, Cormac! So well done! 'Close Every Door' is my favourite song from 'Joseph' as well. Do you think you will pursue music as a career in the future? Much love to you, from Canada!
Hi Christina, I'm so sorry i took so long to reply, I missed these comments on here so just catching up. I do hope to do music when im older in some way but I need to see what my changed voice sounds like before I can decided if it will be singing or not. I hope it will be but best to keep my options open just in case. There are some other tracks on my channel now and i'm recording some more in August so hopefully I'll get a few more in yet in this voice. Thank you very much for your support.🤗🤗🎶🎶😁
The last few years there is a big release of many people on earth to make a bit space for the good souls. There are many different situations. Sometimes they are locked up and we can go around the world, sometimes we have to stay at home and avoid them if they run around our houses and make our lives horrible. But to concentrate on our own created spaces and ground, we have peace, while they don't.
So impressed ,!
Thank you very much 😁😊
Great rendition Cormac! Congratulations 😊
Thank you 😀 Not quite a Ferris and Hanhart masterpiece but we tried hard 🙏😊
Stunning singing Cormac and a lovely rendition of this song. What a beautiful voice you have. Looking forward to more songs from you.
Thank you Rose, coming soon, I promise 🤗🤗
One of my favourite musical songs. Amazing rendition!
Thanks Owen 😁😁 just a bit easier than those fab songs you did at the concert last wk though, hopefully we can hear more of your brilliant singing soon 🙏😊🎶
@@CormacThompson thank you 😊
Wow you have greatly improved your talent. Your voice is incredible. Keep it up 😁
Thank you Daniel, how are you getting on with your singing? 😊
Beautifully performed, Cormac! Your voice is so clear and pure, enjoyed this so much! Happy to to sub to you! 🥰
Yeah 😀😀😀😀 thank you 🙏🏻 glad you enjoyed listening, I loved singing it too 😀😀😀 just in case you didn’t see it you might like Empty Chairs at Empty tables on my channel too 🤗
Perfect
🙏🙏😊😊thank you 🎶
Wow. You are amazing!
🙏🙏🤗🤗 v kind, thank you 💙💛💙💛
ALW the Lord, and TR will be well pleased of your rendition of one of their classics. Can visualize you at your recent school concert holding the spellbound audience in the palm of your hand. A touch of spellbinding from Harry Potter too! Did you play the accompaniment? 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🤗
Thank you Paul 😃 it isnt me playing, it is @matthewtodd but not quite in the same room at the same time 🎹 i loved all the songs but this was definitely my favourite 🤗🎵
This is beautiful ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
This is not an easy song to sing. 🚪 And yes, you performed it wonderfully, mate. 🎙 But I really dig your accent too! Greetz from America. 🌎 💙
Greetz from England 😊 thank you 🎶
This song is moving & frightening too, wonderfully sung though.
Very well done! It seems, that you can superbly voice any emotion, as you also air melancholy very well. It would really be something, to hear you at a live performance someday! Bravo!👍👏👏👏
thank you thats v lovely to know 😊 i'd love to do more live singing but outside of school things and choir things and when it is Christmas i dont seem to get to many chances to do that I'd love to have more 🤗🎵🎙🎹
*Sublime music beautifully sung. Congratulations to you for this voice and this passion that animates you and transports us. I knew this song sung by the choir "The St. Philip's Boys Choir" (United Kingdom) but which is called "Libera" for a few years already.* 🥰
thank you very much, this is a lovely comment i know libera it's too far away from where i live for me to join but ive heard their version of Close Every Door and its great 😊
@@CormacThompson Yes I confirm, too bad it's too far because you deserve your place there without hesitation. 👍👍
Very well done, Cormac👏🏻🥳. You sing with emotion❤️! I'm glad to hear your new song again.😊😄
thank you Daniel, it has been a while😊 I'm glad you like this, i need to go onto your channel and see what you have been singing ive had so much school things to do i havent been able to do that for a while im sorry 🤗
@@CormacThompson You are welcome,Cormac. It doesn't matter, school study is the most important, and I have less time to sing recently. Glad you can sing at school too. Does your school also have a choir?
@@DanielChien it does yes, it's a really good one and i love to get to sing with my friends
I envy your school's attention to music☺️. In China, music classes are often replaced by other classes😖, because schools believe that learning music is dispensable.😢
Hauntingly beautiful Cormac!!🙏❤❤❤
Thanks Kendra 😊🤲 really appreciate your support 🙏
I've always loved this song and your cover is incredibly-moving. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Thank you 🎶🙏 was great fun doing the production and school and v grateful I have something to remember it with 😊
Beautiful, Cormac!
Thank you 🤗🙏
Amazing🙏🏿💓
Thank you 😀🙏
Fantastic
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great rendition Cormac, it starts off wonderfully haunting and then launches. very nice. With the right song choice I'm backing you for Chorister of the year 2022.
Thank you John 😃 i loved all the songs when i was Joseph at school recently but this was definitely my favourite
@@CormacThompson I love the musical score for Joseph too, I'm glad you had the chance the perform it.
Wow your in school wtf jail baiting much
Very well sung Cormac
It is a very beautiful song, i had to do it justice 😊
Well done.
Thank you 😊
you did another awesome job! you had a couple singing lines that r really long so you really had lots of breath 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Charlie 🤗 i missed this comment, sorry i didnt reply sooner. long breaths are getting a bit easier ... finally i'm getting a bit taller so i can get a bit more air in 😅
@@CormacThompson yay! you’re growing! I am too but so many of the other kids are way bigger!
Please, give him an orchestra…
I'd just love that 😁🤞🤞 maybe one day 🎶
Another brilliant performance Cormac, you are just the best to come along in awhile. I so hope you are working on another CD, the first one was terrific. I am now waiting on Antonio de la Torre's CD, he is terrific, you should check him out, I think you'll like him too.
Thank you William, that is very, very kind. I love singing. I know my treble voice wont last forever though but I am hoping to have some new songs to share between now and the end of the year, maybe not on a CD though, I'm sorry. I need to get them recorded while i still have my high voice! I do know Antonio he's a little bit younger than me but a lot taller and I'm looking forward to his CD. thank you for supporting me I really appreciate it.
@@CormacThompson Make sure you make as many recordings as you can, for all to hear in the future. And who knows, you might be able to sing 'with yourself' after your voice has changed.
🤗🥰 So wonderful, Cormac. 🥰🤗
Thank you it's such a great song to sing 🤗
@@CormacThompson you’re so welcome!! You sing it very well. 🤗
I'm not familiar with it, but you sound awesome
Thank you 😃 but there's definitely some high notes that are getting harder to reach!! 🎶
Can I find this on Spotify somewhere?
Not yet, I’m sorry. I will be adding it in the next few weeks 😀 all my other songs are on Spotify and Arms of an Angel is going live tomorrow if that’s any help
@@CormacThompson Oh okay, I will wait for it then. I found all your other songs and especially love this one. Thank you for your fast anwer!
@@apricot5944 Hello 🤲 just to let you know it is on Spotify now, I hope you enjoy streaming it and thank you very much for supporting me, it is much appreciated 🎶
@@CormacThompson Yes! Thank you!
