This was the song I chose and played at my sister's funeral. Beautiful, talented, she finally succumbed to cancer. I cared for her during her last days.
This is my schools graduation song that our choir sings every year to say goodbye to the seniors. When it was my turn to graduate I couldn't stop the tears.
Bloody hell lol the poem and choral piece are about death 😳 I suppose the lyrics fit quite well for a graduation too - and it’s a little masterpiece, so why the hell not 👍🏴 Mark Twain - I guess we’ll let you have him... Dan Forrest... well we can’t take him away from you lol... 👍
@@dannyboywhaa3146 Something tells me she was in a performing arts HS.
@@Esme-gf4jdlol 😂 excellent 👍🏴
I lost my little boy 2 weeks before we started this song in choir practice
That tenor part is just outstanding...always jealous of the tenors they have the truly cutting lines in many songs, the ones that give you the chills as everyone else is swelling
I sang this song in my college's community choir last night and I couldn't hold back my tears due to the story behind this song.
If I'm correct, was it about adopting a child from overseas who they had to fight for years to get. And then when they finally were able to recieve said child, the child passed?
@@liamlamaar2386 yep
We just started it and I'm finding I have the same issue, can't stop the tears when I hear it, it just sinks into my soul
I have always envied people with the ability to sing.. what a lovely gift.
I love the balance on those sopranos, never overwhelming the other voices even when singing those higher notes, as they often do. Every voice has its point where is stands out, which to me is the best sound, even if it isn't perfectly balanced all the time.
So well blended!! Nothing beats both creating and listening to a perfect balance with your fellow singers
Look at their faces. Each chorister delivered a spectacular performance. The dynamics of this piece are just superb.💚
We sang this in our highschools choir festival at Morehead State University. Then the song was still beautiful and touched me in a way. But now...almost 6 years later. It now reminds me of my recently deceased mom and dad. Music is so beautiful .... It just sits with some of us differently I guess
Dan Forrest - You outdo yourself every time. So beautiful for so many reasons.
I dedicate this to all who have been effected by the Coronavirus whether directly or indirectly through death, quarantine, or a special thing like a wedding or graduation being canceled.
My 2020 graduation will likely be canceled and my friend is in quarantine.
we're just now learning this song in my choir class. We will be singing this song and another for the chamber choir competition. I really love the sound of the song.
Update: 5 years later and I still love this song. I miss my choir days. Perhaps I will do choir again in the future.
Update 2024: It's been 7 years and I still know my part. I was second soprano in this back when I sung this song with my Chamber Choir. I will proudly admit that I just sang along with another video of this song that was displaying sheet music. I still have it in me.
Off the scale - simply stunning performance of a deeply humbling musical expression of a tragic loss in Mr Forrest’s family. Deeply moving - thank you all for this gift that simply keeps on giving to all who listen.
Being an alumnus of UO, this superb performance brought me to tears... How I miss and cherish the old days at the school of music, under dear Dr. Richard Clark's choral direction. Go ducks!
so touchable..i wanna cry hear this sound..
The story behind this song makes me cry
I sang this with Nova Singers in 2017. After I read the story, I could barely make it through the song without weeping. It's so hauntingly beautiful, and the sadness...that little child was so wanted and hoped for...
@@howtoservecat5540 i am crying right now while i am listening this song and reading the story behind it, i am gonna sing this song in a chorus :(
Overwhelmingly breathtaking - thank you for posting!
How stunning, peaceful and perfect for this new year's eve. A wonderful, sustained sound. Thank you.
Dan Forrest/University of Oregon. Perfectly put together! Thank you.
Warm summer sun, shine brightly here, Warm Southern wind, blow softly here, Green sod above, lie light, lie light, Good night, dear heart; good night, good night.
Warm summer sun, (Warm summer sun) Shine brightly here (Shine brightly here) Warm summer wind, blow softly here, (Softly here) Green sod above, lie light, lie light, Good night, dear heart; good night, good night.

¡Hermoso!
I ABSOLUTELY love this song. The chior is AWESOME! What's up with the hand motions?? I've been in choir for years. Never seen that before
T H A N K Y O U!!!!! So Touching!!!
very nice!!!
Makes me want to cry. This was one of the last compositions I sang with my college Chior before covid ended my college career. We practiced this and it was hard at first. But eventually, the parts came together in great harmony. What sadness, we never performed it. I graduated college with no ceremony and churches are being ordered to close. We never did sing this in concert.
Still, God is worthy of praise since He sent His son to die for us and created music. Please accept the free gift of Jesus’ sacrifice before it’s too late. He is coming back soon!!!
If you're still in the same city of the university, reach out to the choir director. Perhaps they will sing it after the pandemic slows and singing returns and perhaps the director will let you sing with the choir. I am faculty at my university. I sang with out concert choir for two years and look forward to returning. One of the songs we sang was Good Night Dear Heart and it made me cry, too.
fairly ironic, considering how this is derived by a poem by Mark Twain, who famously was super critical of religion and said "If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a Christian", but go off
is no one gonna talk about the guy that stared right into the camera
bandstration
Convenu, sans originalité, ch....t comme la mort. Ces accords étaient originaux il y a 25 ans mais plus maintenant . On a déjà entendu ça 1000 fois.
Peut plaire à des néophytes à mon avis
