It’s a mother’s lullaby

My sister swears I watched empire of the sun just to cry to this song as a young boy. Older now but still shed tears for this.

Beautiful...simply a perfect rendition of a classic lullaby.

It moves your heart...tears of all that is good and all that changes. Mother's love and how it grows as her child does.

There's actually a better version sung by Anthony Way: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocuKrbmdqNXPhGw.html

Cai Thomas: The rating is cancelled. Why ?

@A-Plus Computer Services The song "Suo Gan" is very sentimental. Tears ? No ! Better here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5-iqdyn2NnapX0.html

When he touches his mother's face, so emotional.

@A-Plus Computer Services I am sure you tube has something like it, so much music on here 😊

Same with me. Just happens.

And so you should be!

Absolutely !

What a lovely voice, I too would be proud (from an Englishman).

So magnificent!

Even here, an ocean away in California, we acknowledge the Welsh gift for beautiful song and speech. Stay strong!

My brother was born four days earlier My mother named him David in their honour

@@andyFortyTwoNZ I was 13 when ABERFAN disaster happened, my 2 cousins died all because of that awful tip,I don't think we can ever forgive or FORGET,GOD BLESS all who were killed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

AND this is why I appreciate and read the posts on KZfaq : Until tonight , I was unaware of the Aberfan Tragedy . Only being 9 myself at the time , I am sure my parents preferred to shield me and my siblings from the Horror of such a horrendous loss of life ; especially , so many children in my age range . Thank you . Though it may not have been your intent , thanks to you , I have Learned yet again , how despicable Corporate Greed Kills .

Merry Christmas

God bless you and your family.

that must have been a thrill, one of my favorite opening scenes, a great film

I too am pleased with Cai. When I first heard this beautiful, beautiful song, I don't know what happened exactly, but it DID bring a tear or two to my eye, and it put a monstrous lump in my throat very near the size of Jupiter. That is no joke -- Wales is the Land of Song, truly, and I love, with all my heart, the Welsh love of the voice! I wish more people in this world could understand better just how musicians like Cai make this crazy, hectic, and sometimes all-around twisted world a better place, yes? Oh, how very proud I am of him! I can't express it more. *tears in my eyes*

@@mmzddx96 beautifully put ❤️

Oh wow that movie was my introduction to this piece when I was a child and I have been in love with it ever since!

The music was wonderful in that film...fabulous job. I've listened to the soundtrack for 35 years! Thank you! The final scene...I must have seen it 100 times and still, I cry.

may he rest in peace

It's easy to envision an ethereal place where this music plays constantly in the air

So sorry to hear.. hope you find comfort in music

Tessa, Boed i'ch ffordd fod yn llyfn, a'ch trafferthion yn brin. Mae gan Dduw eich brawd yn ei freichiau cariadus. Hyd nes y cewch eich aduno. Duw Cyflymder fod gyda chi. (May your road be smooth, and your troubles few. God has your brother in His loving arms. Until you are reunited. God Speed be with you.)

God Bless you my friend.

THATS where it's from. I knew it was from a movie, but I couldn't place it.

Me too

Same here. I have that movie on dvd.

Me tooooooo! I was mesmerized by this song.

Same here!!!

I love what you wrote.

Cymru Am Byth....

My father's grandmother came from Merthyr Tydfil. I have her Welsh Bible. Perhaps the pull this song has on me is an ancestral memory rising to the surface.

Yup, same here. Porth, Swansea, Camarthen. Lots of Thomases too 😄

I've never understood why the Welsh have such beautiful singing voices. But, then, of course, their own spoken language is very musical.

Are you Welsh lad?

@@geopez2999 Nope, I'm Dutch... but the Welsh, they really can sing!

OH, I'm very sure your way of singing this was equally good for it contained all your love.

Diolch yn fawr cariad..... ❤️

They truly are. They say a lot of Welsh went to Cork in Ireland who are also reknowned for their lilting musical accent and beautiful singing. I wonder is it true.

Irish, Italians and Kenyans are as well.

you know you have an amazing voice when you can make Welsh sound good ; )

You'll enjoy the movie "Empire of the Sun", if you haven't seen it already

voice of an angel. i cried too,

@@kentobizmol3 I saw it in cinema. Yes it was beautiful then, too.

I myself also often have tears in my eyes watching boychoir videos. The mother of the "big" boy soloist Steven ("Bubba") from the USA lost some weeks later his mother. She died cause a severe illness: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6mPirNhtLi2fqs.html

H @@kentobizmol3

I can recommend the Libera boys choir if that's the case.

Have this same filing .Grate talent .Dr Gerald Piorkowski Cerrillos NM

And think of the talent, skill and care of the adults who bring out and train these stunning voices!

MW Playlist Thank you I will look them up!

Anne Shalaby You are so right. I value so much the talented adults who nurture and develop our young artists.

There's some dialogue in the film "Boychoir," about this exact thing.

Their is no tragedy within perfections realm. To hold this exquisite essence but only for a time stays with one for lifetime. We are part of the composition of orchestral genius at all times. Your grateful heart receives sublime joy when the vessel of life seeks to fill it's Soul with ingenuity's source steps linked to creation.

Be glad that the time when adults worked to preserve such voices (through castration of talented boy singers) is centuries past.

Cai now has a wonderful baritone voice.

Maybe even God .... when you let Grace take it’s course .....

You are so right!

Gabby Hayes...That is until you see that this child has been castrated...Castrato look it up

flatout nolie nonsense

@@gabbyhayes1568 Yeah nothing like that ever happened

I wondered if anyone else knew it from way back when times seemed simpler. Cjeers love. hugs took me back 60+ years to a 78rpm

Thank you went crazy trying to remember his name and movie, I am going to watch again ❤️

One time I was at a kiosk along the Motorway. I told the sales lady, "I have never heard the English language spoken as beautifully as the way you speak it. It sounds like music." She said, "Oh, it's me Welsh accent."

HOW OLD IS OLD! YOU ARE AS YOUNG AS YOU FEEL SAYS I.

Ronald Hoennicke It was for this reason the papacy castrated little boys. So as to keep this angelic voice. Ironic isn’t it? 👦😭

More mythical clap-trap! It's depressing to see the credit for such a talent being deflected away from the person who has that talent. This beautiful living being is the ultimate product of the tens of thousands of years of microscopically small advances made by the generation-on-generation evolution which has created the modern human being, with all its strengths and all its weaknesses, all its joy and all its sadness, all its goodness and all its evil. Let us rejoice in humanity, its reality and all its most magnificent qualities and achievements, the better to address its many failings. I pity you for your betrayal of your own species. I detest ignorance and delusion, and wish each person who suffers from them a prompt and complete recovery. Get well soon.

Oh please, shut up, your sky daddy has nothing to do with this.

Rosemary Allen , ❤️❤️❤️

In the right hands it is.

Indeed it is. When it's not banning, ghost banning and plain censoring or burning whatever bits they don't like. Other than that yes, it's a great thing.

I rely on YT more and more for entertainment, information & education.

I felt the same. It would be lovely if everyone, including conservatives, could freely express themselves on KZfaq.

In the "Song of Patriotic Prejudice" Michael Flanders asserted that the Welshman "...sings far too loud, far too often, and flat..." While some Welsh singers fall into those traps, This young man's voice is true and unwavering, spot-on intonation and pitch. A fine performance.

I agree, but then I would - I'm Welsh. Pob hwyl i Cai i'r dyfodol.

I think it not that all Welsh people are good singers, it just that Welsh people who can sing, are appreciated, trained, and nurtured.

@Catherine Tom Jones is Welsh!

@@5610winston I've heard Tom Jones very loud, very often, but never flat!

Because this boy has the voice of an angel

🇬🇧 Better get a CD then or "save" the video for future use. This boy's voice is exquisite and maybe your baby will learn to stay quietly awake to apprecial him.

Well it is a Welsh lullaby.

That is its original intention. It is a lullaby.

How sad but not sad. Sounded like a wonderful brave man. Sure your son would enjoy. They've turned all the mines into museums ... spooky marvellous.

Whales?

Ta for posting it is called 'WALES' whales are huge gigantic beings and now a protected species including Dolphins ... clever beings.

Angels are just fiction, this is real.

and what one hopes they look like.

Who knows what Angels really sound like. For all we know they can be singing some African tribal songs.

Yes, pretty much. Was in my church boy choir and it was wonderful.

Absolutely, Angels of God, there is indeed no time like the present for such beauty and light brought to this earth, God has a plan and while I do not know what all that may entail, I strongly feel this young boy is part of it, Timing is everything.

Sun

me, too.

As a former member of the Maryland State Boychoir (and likewise a former soprano), I could not agree more.

Unbroken

I've been wondering why young girls' voices lack the hauntingly piercing beauty that young boys have. This lad's voice is exceptional.

@@patscott6365 listen the SILVA IN LUMINE sequences in WOLFEN-E NOMINE,

@@patscott6365 In all honesty, I couldn't put my finger on it for the life of me. I've heard more than enough of both. I know that the difference is there. But I can't scientifically define it for the life of me.

Hey might be a lil shit for all you know. But being this good a singer does afford that kind of *halo effect*

You are so right-on. KIDS are our future. God Bless them.

@@GooseTheFlick It's adults who make lovely children into what you choose to call 'little shits'. No baby is born that way.

So beautifully said. Yes, such precious beings are the children. They are little beings of light....Gods light.

@@desiefilip1522 Thank you. There is no sound more awesome than children's laughter. Nothing more beautiful than a happy child @ play. Nothing warms the heart more than a child's song...nor makes life more precious than watching children be actively happy in healthy learning as they grow. They are the true pure spirits on this earth. It's our privelige, our duty as humans, to give them that opportunity....to bask in their wholesomeness & learn what true love is. It saddens me to my core they don't all have the chance due to much hate too many adults are creating. Love Over all Values Everyone...especially our children. HUGS2U
