This makes me cry! I lost too many friends as well as my only true love to AIDS in the 1980’s. 😢😭😢😭😢
i come form Vietnam when i was 18 i saw Brokenback Mountian i was obsessed with the movie's moving story especially the guitar sound in the movie
Cried so much, thinking of the movie, their love, and watching the faces of these men who were so effected, obviously singing from experience. Thank you for posting this.
My friend is a super-conservative Catholic. I'm almost there. He loves the movie! My own experience was that when HL died, I mourned his loss in this way: I'd go to my favorite deep canyon in SC in any weather. Sometimes it was very cold, but I'd be there, alone, walking the dark trail in the evening, with the soundtrack in my headphones. After nearly two years, my broken heart started to mend. I wrote thank you letters to Jake G. and Willie N. And I could sing along with the cassette. My favorite is "The Maker Makes" by Rufus Wainwright. Didn't know his address. Wrote to Heath just before the Academy Awards. Told him his performance as Ennis was truly amazing, considering he had no models to emulate. Turns out he said he based Ennis on an ;uncle of his.
This is one of the most beautiful and poignant choir performances I have ever seen!
Still the most memorable rendition of the the movie's songs ... truly sung from the heart .
Wonderful harmonies and so professionally done! It is wonderful to see a gay space like a choir so inclusive of all types of men and AGES! Keep up the great work. Big Aussie hugs from London!
I am getting goose pimples... these guys are AWESOME.
If a song or performance of that song or songs moves one to an uncontrollable emotion, whether that emotion be joy or sadness, laughter or tears it is in everyway priceless. This has accomplished that with me!! Now all I have to do is think of the beauty of these songs and this performance of them and my heart will swell and the tears will flow!! Thanks for posting!!
My heart's pounding and tears are flowing. This is more than breath taking.
Willie's He was a friend of mine is just breathtaking! Awesome soundtrack!
You are all so beautiful. The power of singing makes the world a better place. Thank you for proving that.
This choir cannot be bettered just superb.

this touched me so deeply keep up the good work all of you hug and kisses to all
my dream of being in a choir
Chen Frank most large cities around the world have similar choruses, I know in the US there are gay choruses for major cities and perhaps even smaller cities/communities. Check a city near you, you may be surprised finding one so close to you! :) best wishes!
I instantly got goosebumps- amazing!
Beautifully done.
Holly shit....im crying!
ONE WORD - WONDERFUL.
MY HEARD GETS OPEN.
GREETS FROM GERMANY

A Love That Will Never Grow Old - GUSTAVO ALFREDO SANTAOLALLA -
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of our lives
'Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night
And your laughter's like wind in my sails
'Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong
'Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old
the choir is absolut cool ! greetz from Europe/Germany
simplement magnifiiiiique ! Vous êtes géniaux! j'en ai des frissons d'émotion . From France!.
Hearing such a large ensemble sing with such passion and commitment and yet so softly that the sound is like soft breath on my cheek sent shivers down my spine.
Do you guys ever come to Europe or do I have to come to LA? I deeply admire you and the music you make. Love from Luxembourg. ❤
The chorus did two European tours, one in 1991 (Copenhagen - Denmark, Berlin - Germany, Prague - Czechoslovakia (prior to the country separating into two), Vienna - Austria, and Budapest - Hungary) and another in 1999 (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Talinn, and Berlin).
@@erfette49 Thank you. Are there any plans for another European tour anytime in the near future? Of not, I'll just come to LA. More love from Luxembourg. ❤😉👍❤
@@pauldunstan4495 I left the chorus after 23 years in 2016 because I moved to AZ. I'm still connected to the chorus and as of now there are no plans that I know of for it to do another European tour in the near future. The chorus made a trip to NYC to sing in a joint concert at Carnigie Hall with other choruses hosted by NYC Gay Men's chours and next year they along with hundreds of other choruses from this country and around the world will be attending GALA, a chorus music festival attended by gay, lesbian, trangender and youth choruses from this country and from around the world. It will be in Minneapolis, I believe. so, they have been busy and will continue to be busy with their current concert cycle and the festival. Hopefully there will be another European tour in the future. But in the meantime, feel free to fly to LA for one of their concerts and enjoy it and the SoCal area while you're there. Cheers!!! And thanks for your interest in this wonderful men's chorus!
So beautiful and touching. Thank you.
Beautiful and haunting!
Heath...r.i.p. I still missed U !
Luigi C I am so with you!

Im very proud of you, Gents. I wish, we have a Choir like you here in Germany. But who knows, what will happen in the Future. Maybe i find one in Germany or i go to the US and supports you
Totally inspiring. Thank you for existing!
Made my day so divine!
Beautiful!
It's amazing how coordinated they are with so many people! What a beautiful performance of an amazing movie's incredible score. Truly beautiful :)
Very Moving - Loved it
Beautiful timeless
All's I can say is this......My brothers can certainly sing their hearts out!!! Touche` fellas!!!!
Wonderful!!
these boys match anything from Wales the land of song. Just superb.
And exactly how many gay choruses have you witnessed performing this song over and over again? And if you don't care for covers then you miss out on all the interesting interpretations arrangers and performers have to offer.
so touching
Ho visto il film quando è uscito al cinema e sono rimasta incantata. Ora ascoltando questo coro credo che ne sia il completamento. Vi abbraccio. Form italie
Uma história de amor,lindo filme, parabéns !!!
sentir pelo morte na vida real, que Deus tenha em sua mão.meus sentimentos
Fantastic!
Beautiful guys forever. Love ya all

Beautiful and moving. You guys rock! Best wishes from Germany!
Love love love , made my eyes well up :))
This is awesome. I love it.
It was immediately obvious that you would be wonderful. But reality - the beautiful voices, filled with emotions, and the subtle instrumentation - goes beyond all predictions. It would be great if you performed in Central Europe.
Una preciosidad. Nonme canso de oirlos y llorar. Cómo me conmueve este soundtrack y qué buena interpretación. ¡Gracias!
Just divine....
Que luxo. Lindo coral. Fez lembrar muito do filme e da triste história de Jack Twist e Ennis Del Mar.
ESPETACULAR! D+ .
This comes closer to serious choral music than most gay men's choirs do though. Sure, it may be the soundtrack to a gay movie, but the arrangement is pretty universal and pretty devoid of any trace of camp.
Adoro este Coral... Gostaria de cantar com vozes - voz = baixo. Parabens, sucesso.
superbe, vraiment ...
Hermosa Version de la Cancion de ese Super Clasico "Brokeback Mountain" y Con Hombres Homosexuales del Coro de Los Angeles
God Bless You Guys from Chavezland (ex Venezuela)
thank you!!
好听惹,别说他们都是gay
Thr name is misleading
Ohh por Dios, que Hermoso y lo mas Conmovedor es que entre Todos estos Seres Maravillosos se Encuentran Hombres con esa hermosa Sensibilidad y de Todas las Edades. y Homosexuales como yo tambien lo Soy.
Fantastic...Padraig in Morocco
Great job guys! I saw you do this in Denver at GALA 2012.
He was a friend of mine - Bob Dylan -
And he was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
MERAVIGLIOSI!!!!

Após 15 anos eu ainda continuo me inspirando e acompanhando este filme belíssimo. A espera por um amor assim nunca irá sair do meu objetivo! Seguindo essa história como outras sempre chego a mesma conclusão que o mais difícil não é ser aceito ou se aceitar , mas sim deixar de ser manipulado pelas influencias negativas que a sociedade nos impõem e sempre vão impedir o amor puro entre dois homens. Brokeback Mountain não é apenas um filme que retrata algo polêmico mas sim uma válvula de escape para um gay serio que realmente vive para o amor e espera por isso. Devemos considerar muito esses atores pois nenhum deles deixou a desejar no quesito verdade! Desde ontem voltei assistir o filme e como sempre ele nos toca bem fundo e agregado as paisagens, os sons das cordas das violas juntamente com o sons dos riachos e ventos fortes entro novamente nessa história, nessa bela e emocionante história, afim de viver a "ilusão" de um amor impossível cheio de verdade e emoção.
Sem Palavras para explicar a sensação que esse coral me causou. Obrigado!
