When I first watched it I thought "alright it sounds nice" but then as it got stronger and all the voices came in.. I cried a lot. And every time I watch it, I cry again. It gives me a feeling so pure and just kind of WHOLE.. It gives me hope for everything. Thank you so much for doing it! ❤️
You know that's funny, because, the first time I've heard "Fix You" by Coldplay, I thought the same. Until the change comes in. I guess that's just part of this song, the progression. All the verses come first, reflecting about problems, things happening, things tearing out your soul, the song starts very focused and reflected, and then comes the powerful message.
I have no idea who you guys are or where you are from, but this is one of the best choral versions of any song I have ever heard, ever. It's completely beautiful.
It was such an honor to sing under Scott's direction back in high school.. Although it was just for three days, it is still one of the most memorable experiences in my life. He taught me how happy you can be just by singing and you don't have to be good at it. He always told students to keep a smile on when singing which made the singing voices much brighter and peaceful just as this song. I would move to Edmonton just to join Kokopelli and have a chance to sing under his direction again..
Asking for the arrangement to this masterpiece is like asking a mother to sell off her child. Clearly what we have witnessed here is a labour of love. If you can't see that, no one can help you! What these people have done is opened the gates of heaven ... that feeling you get towards the end ... thats God touching your souls.
We sung this song last night in Saskatoon with the Kokopelli folks. They're awesome and friendly, including Scott :) It was truly heartfelting performing this song in front of people with them. I felt like i did something special. Oh God, that one night is one of my best experience in my life. I met lots of good people. Hats off to the kokopelli choir and staff!
I always come here to listen to this music! I'm brazilian vet surgeon! Sometimes we lost some lives in our hands and we need to heal our soul. This music + choir is a healing terapy! English is not my main language, sorry. :)
So I grew up singing in the Newfoundland Symphony Youth Choir, and I had the pleasure of hearing Kokopelli a few years ago at Festival 500 when I was attending with Xara from Halifax... and I keep coming back to this video, whenever I'm having a really challenging day. It's stunning, and beautiful, and everything else that's already been said. I wish I could have been in that audience!
I was also performing in Festival 500 that year! They truly are stunning and even more so live. Kokopelli does an amazing job capturing the emotional and technical aspect of music. It's absolutely beautiful.
Indeed! Not much of a nine-inch-nails fan, a favorite line about music comes from Trent Reznor (sp?). There is a video "about" Johnny Cash's version of Trent's "Hurt," with Trent sort of shrugging after hearing the audio, but later seeing JC's video and thinking "this isn't my song anymore." Still don't know if he meant it now belongs "to the ages" or to Johnny, but I'd say it's a deep compliment when the world "takes" a writer's song from them.
This performance seems small and insignificant,compared to what we are used to see at huge stages and stadiums these days,but God,it is absolutely superb! The male voices start first,backed up by the female,then they switch places,then the grand choir kicks in strong! Whoever did this arrangement is genius! Bravo!
I cry each and every time I listen to this when the djembe comes in. So so emotional. I truly truly love this arrangement and performance with all my heart. Thank you so much to the arranger, choir and choir director! Wow!
Im watching this video whenever Im having a bad day. Thank you Coldplay for this phenomenal song and thank you to this choir who made it more beautiful! Im ok now.
I don't know why I always cry listening to this praise song, the problems in this world are very big for me but with this song I believe I'm not alone there is the spirit of God present in each of us which is strengthened by this heavenly song. 🥺🙌
I just got back from a music camp and the senior ensemble learnt this and sung it and i kid you not it was the most beautiful thing i was crying just talking about it
I don't usually give comments but I just need to: I love this song and I never imagined a choir will pull this off. Your rendition, your voices, touched my soul and I am still wiping my tears now. Thank you & God bless you more! :)
I've been involved with choir for 8 years now. And I've known this specific recording for quite some time now and everytime I watch it, I just can't get over how happy each member looks. Most of the time I'm not sure what it's like to not have a worry in the world, because there's so much of worry in it, but everytime I listen to this and experience the message this song delivers, it takes me to another world without pain or sadness, just the joy of music and it's one of the best feelings I know. I thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Just noticed after viewing this video 25x times at least, the front row is holding hands. This choir is so harmonious in an utterly heavenly and angelic rendition of an amazing song.
The split moment where you realize that there's are still some beautiful things out in the world that is both captivating and memorable. This is one of my favorite renditions of this song. So beautiful!
An absolutely perfect arrangement. The harmonies are spot on and the blend between voices and instrument are so well-balanced. Great talent is born in Canada!
Clicking on the video, my first thinking was that this would be just another cover of a song. By word I was wrong. Brought tears to my eyes, goosebumps to my skin. Emotions taken straight from my heart. The soul, the harmonies, the emotion but into this song are too indescribable. Absolutely amazing.
Had to listen/watch again and share it with family--words can't describe it. Can't believe Edmonton would consider tearing down an amazing venue for such inspiring music. So sad.
This video got me in tears. Partly because it reminds me of who I was as a young child (I was in a few choirs back then) and why I love singing so much. And partly because it gets the message across so perfectly that the lyrics try to convey. Thanks for giving me this beauty today. 💖
Absolute surprise. Expected some Hopi or Navajo music with kokopelli in the title. And the surprise was exquisite and overwhelming. I'm content not knowing the significance of the Kokopelli with Oran. Makes this all the more intriguing. Thanks and merci.
Wow, I don't know about "tears free" - when they step up the amplitude at 3.25 it brought tears to my eyes - amazing piece - thank you so much. I will be posting this link far and wide!
The first time that I heard this it touched me so much that it made me cry. Since then, I come back here every now and then to listen it again. Congratulations on your work. Greetings from Argentina.
What a beautiful performance. Thank you for sharing this with the whole world. I've got goosebumps all over my body and may shed a tear or two when the wall of sound exploded. Greetings from Germany

Most popular songs don't translate well when arranged for choral groups. This one, however, is simply breath taking.
Personally, I like this better than the original. This particular group too. They nailed it! Can’t find one better!

@@timhaslam4241 Almost every Beatles song has been covered by a choir, Queen too has lots of choirs cover their music.
@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv So interesting.
When I die, at my funeral, I want a choir to sing this..its so emotionnal
So do i, its just wonderful
S A M E
Absolutely, this is beautiful.
Then you better be a good boy or no Coldplay for you.
@@NetraBahari Your brother did what?
When I first watched it I thought "alright it sounds nice" but then as it got stronger and all the voices came in.. I cried a lot. And every time I watch it, I cry again. It gives me a feeling so pure and just kind of WHOLE.. It gives me hope for everything. Thank you so much for doing it! ❤️
Omg me too. I have cried nearly every time I've watched/listened. At "When tears stream down your face..." 😧😭
Yes indeed. You're a pure soul.
Same
pussy lmfao... sorry for saying that it was out of pocket

If I was there when they performed this, I would have burst into tears or flames or both
The tears would put out the flames
I have no idea who you guys are or where you are from, but this is one of the best choral versions of any song I have ever heard, ever. It's completely beautiful.
Well spoken. It is so true. I feel the same. It is awesome. The best song and it's best version.
They are from Edmonton Alberta, Canada I was in there organization. I was in the younger group.
It was sung at the wedding of the Prince Carl of Sweden. Now on you tube. Both versions are brilliant.
It was such an honor to sing under Scott's direction back in high school.. Although it was just for three days, it is still one of the most memorable experiences in my life.

3:28 That part gives me the chills everytime I hear it! Amazing!!
+Karla Camacho absolutely
Yes. Love the high note.
the best cover i've ever heard. and agree with your sentiment. amazing harmonies
agree!
I can hardly even handle it...I think I'm going burst with joy!
I just can't believe I've heard it. It seems to be unreal...
Human Voice, best musical instrument ever.
Just reminds me of my mum I lost in October 2017. I just can’t move on and I’ve put this rendition on repeat for the whole night. Well done choir
Omg when the sopranos hit the high C in the 2nd 4 of the crescendo 😭😭😭😭 I'm bawling my Heart out. Its like angels
HAHAHAH

I dont know much about choir but while watching this it gave me the chills and made me join my schools choir. Good job and keep up the work.
+Justin Perez - Our favourite comment yet! Dudes who join choir are rock stars in our books. Hope you love singing as much as we do.
I'm the opposite, I'm singing this in choir and wanted to hear what another choir sounds like singing it
who needs therapy when you got really good choirs singing the most relaxing stuff ever frfr
Best choral cover on the whole internet. I'm sure even Chris Martin would agree
We sung this song last night in Saskatoon with the Kokopelli folks. They're awesome and friendly, including Scott :) It was truly heartfelting performing this song in front of people with them. I felt like i did something special. Oh God, that one night is one of my best experience in my life. I met lots of good people. Hats off to the kokopelli choir and staff!
This is the best arrangement of this song, by far. No question. Sublime.

I can't even imagine being in the audience... every eye must have been wet.

Heather Janzen The audience on it’s feet says it all.
I'm watching it for probably my 100th time and I'm still bawling. It's the only song that has EVER moved my soul like this.
One of the most beautiful songs of redemtion....
My soul hit an all-time high at 3:30. Absolutely beautiful
I heard that Coldplay made a cover of this song.
Oh, soooo original -.-

But only if coldplay would have said that
LOL, funny.
goosebumps all the way from 3:15. absolutely beautiful
I was actually not emotionally prepared for this video. It's beautiful
This performance seems small and insignificant,compared to what we are used to see at huge stages and stadiums these days,but God,it is absolutely superb! The male voices start first,backed up by the female,then they switch places,then the grand choir kicks in strong! Whoever did this arrangement is genius! Bravo!
Brings thoughts of love and sorrow for my brother-in-law who I miss so dearly.
I cry each and every time I listen to this when the djembe comes in. So so emotional. I truly truly love this arrangement and performance with all my heart. Thank you so much to the arranger, choir and choir director! Wow!
Where are all of you know including this amazing conductor. Love you all!!
Edmonton, Alberta
Im watching this video whenever Im having a bad day. Thank you Coldplay for this phenomenal song and thank you to this choir who made it more beautiful! Im ok now.

Best preform of this song ever.
My o my o my.... Brought tears to my eyes. The power and beauty in this. Thank you!!!!!
3 years later and every word, every note of this is speaking to my heart
I just got back from a music camp and the senior ensemble learnt this and sung it and i kid you not it was the most beautiful thing i was crying just talking about it
I don't usually give comments but I just need to: I love this song and I never imagined a choir will pull this off. Your rendition, your voices, touched my soul and I am still wiping my tears now. Thank you & God bless you more! :)
the harmony is on point and this is a very good song and i wish i could see these guys live
i just imagine that i'm standing there watching this performance live, it would be so amazing!
4 years later I still come here and still sound like I’m hearing it for the first time ❤❤
Wow. Just incredible. People who don't like music would love this performance.
I've been involved with choir for 8 years now. And I've known this specific recording for quite some time now and everytime I watch it, I just can't get over how happy each member looks.

At first, I thought it was cold in my house. Nope. You all gave me shivers. And tears. This was great!
This is just not fair. I’m sobbing. This song had always been a favorite but this, this just hits hard. I’m sobbing. This is just too beautiful.
Just noticed after viewing this video 25x times at least, the front row is holding hands. This choir is so harmonious in an utterly heavenly and angelic rendition of an amazing song.
The split moment where you realize that there's are still some beautiful things out in the world that is both captivating and memorable. This is one of my favorite renditions of this song. So beautiful!
I must admit I was moved to the core by this. I haven't cried this good for quite a long time. Thank you.
Beautifully arranged and performed. I cried while watching. #magnificent
+Farida Ulfa Farano Me too :)
Me too.
What a beautiful version... bringing tears to my eyes... Love to see that kind of emotion out of a director
These guys have done a wonderful job .... take this one to the memory bank and lock it away. It is a keeper :-)
The power is unmatched
The most beautiful thing I've ever heard... heard it live and still search for a moment to compare.
Also listen to the many stunning performances of beautiful songs by South African choirs like Stellenbosch, Tuks Camerata. Cape Town Youth Choir ...
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Honestly cry every time.
Stunningly beautiful. People in my house heard the computer and had to come in and watch too.
This is the most beautiful version of "Fix you" I've ever heard!
Just performed this arrangement with the Yorkshire Youth Choir here in the UK. Beautiful music.
I feel safe whenever I listen to this song.
Tears and chills. I'm just so speechless right now.
3:15 The lady on the djembe drum adds so much kick to the beautiful final chorus
OH MY GOD, it's awesome,a tears are running out when i watch and listen this video ..
You guys were just amazing that night. The program was incredibly sensitive and heartfelt. The tears definitely did come streaming...
I almost cried when they came together and sung so beautiful. I'm proud to be in Concert Choir at school :')
Wow guys, a-ma-zing. Love the way you build it all up. First the low voices, then the high ones and later on all together. What a treat.
That wall off sound. I also like that the conductor is really into it.
Lol yeah and he will literally dance its amazing XD
He's so fun! I love being in the choir
This is absolutely stunning. Definitely one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard!
The best choir version ever😊
An absolutely perfect arrangement. The harmonies are spot on and the blend between voices and instrument are so well-balanced. Great talent is born in Canada!
We should get a studio version of this. It's BEAUTIFUL.
Clicking on the video, my first thinking was that this would be just another cover of a song. By word I was wrong. Brought tears to my eyes, goosebumps to my skin. Emotions taken straight from my heart. The soul, the harmonies, the emotion but into this song are too indescribable. Absolutely amazing.

this is totally not the music I usually listen to, but I really loved this, very touching.
Had to listen/watch again and share it with family--words can't describe it. Can't believe Edmonton would consider tearing down an amazing venue for such inspiring music. So sad.
Oh my God.. beautiful choir.. absolutelly wawwwaww one of my favorite song 😀😀😀 thank you for singing with us
wow. musical notes are stabbing my heart at 3:20. so many feels.
How about a studio recording guys... this should be on itunes
YES! YES! YES! 👏👏👏👏
Totally agree with you
Absolutely haunting. Breathtakingly beautiful. My heart stopped.
This video got me in tears. Partly because it reminds me of who I was as a young child (I was in a few choirs back then) and why I love singing so much. And partly because it gets the message across so perfectly that the lyrics try to convey. Thanks for giving me this beauty today. 💖
Also, how anyone can dislike this video is beyond me. They know nothing.
will say again how much I love this conductor!! Thank you
Stunning. This was influential in our cover of Fix You for a special young boy here at home in Ireland. Thank you for this.
chills every inch of my body...
You sound fantastic! Such a mature, beautiful sound! I miss you guys so much! I just love seeing your faces! Love from Coastal Sound!
Fix you 😃😊 simplemente espectacular 😊 me encanta👌 Mi favorita 😃👏👏😉🙏 felizidades🙋saludós desdé México Gracias
Best choir version online I have found yet! And I've listened to a lot.
Absolute surprise. Expected some Hopi or Navajo music with kokopelli in the title. And the surprise was exquisite and overwhelming. I'm content not knowing the significance of the Kokopelli with Oran. Makes this all the more intriguing. Thanks and merci.
I got goosebumps! Now this is singing absolutely beautiful!!
It's such a beautiful arrangement!!!! I love it very much. My heart has been really touched with your amazing voices. Thank you very much.
This gave me goosebumps...just what I was looking for! Must download immediately.
I lost my friend today, I want to sing this for her. Amazing Harmony inspo x

Breathtakingly beautiful
Can't believe I just discovered this, it really does gives me chills!!! ❤️
Always gives me goosebumps and tears me up 💖 I’d have trembled and cried if I were there to witness it.
