The purest instrument is a good, unbroken boy's voice.

Which bass dude 👀

​@@tinygorlthe channel is literally called "thatbassdude" lol. He's also how I found this guy!

I- I found out about him the same way XD

Totally agree!

Same! I saw the duet between That Bass Voice and this guy and now I’m watching both channels XD

Wow, beautifully put and as otherworldly as this even more angelic version of the song. Few people could bring more to the original by S&G but you too like this Gentleman have enhanced every aspect of it. Thank You.

Thank you. I was thinking he was a ghost asking the person going to the fair to look up his love and let her know of his death in the war. But dying soldier seems more likely.

Canticle is the other piece.

​@@petemavus2948Garfunkel wrote "Canticle" to protest Vietnam. Too many young men going off to war.... Hoping they'll be remembered.

I thought they were just stoned, but this makes a lot of sense. :)

Incredibly beautiful rendition! Best ever!

Great voice, I wish him BestLuck and hope he will be discovered soon. Perhaps he should go to X Factors.

Why would you think you are the only one???

@@burlesummers6539 thanks my Mom use to sing with the Golden voices of Houston in Texas.

@@maryoleary2037 I was just wondering is all

I believe contralto is for a female voice, which is lower than usual for a female, whereas countertenor described a very high tenor voice (male).

is he castrati ?

​@@Anonymous-km5pjВін-ні.А ви,напевно,так,якщо питаєте таку дурню

​@Anonymous-km5pj Erm, look at his chin! Castrati never went through puberty: this fellow clearly has. So no, he's not Castries, just very well trained vocally.

Contralto is a women's fach. This man is an excellent counter tenor, which means he is also likely an excellent tenor as well. He has glorious control over his voice.

This interpretation evokes an Irish ballad of old.

He sounds like a Castrati.

So beautiful. You definitely have the voice of an angel...please never stop.singing. You are so gifted!😊

Just had the same thought 💭

Thanks so much Vinny.o😅

But there is a evidence of a voice, yet there is no evidence of a god.

Or less. You can practically see it.

What about appearing on AGT to change your life in about four minutes? A golden buzzer rendition might be within reach. Best of luck ... the stage should be yours Kudos from Hamburg

Wow ! How I wish someday you one of the Gregorian music band !.kudos and God bless you!🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤❤❤

He's much more popular on TikTok than KZfaq. veryveryvinny I have to look up the videos on KZfaq to share with certain people.

Thank you for this divine rendition of a beautiful song! Listening was a wonderful experience ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Countertenor...I've not heard of that classification. Tell me more. He isn't in falsetto. Sounds very natural for him. Not a register we often hear from a man. I wonder what register he speaks in.

​@@PleaseNThankYouI believe that the term countertenor is from opera. It can be a falsetto in modern music terminology but is also a true " head voice" that as been trained in that range. I have not heard this gentleman before - I'll have to look him up. I took 10+ yrs of vocal training while in my 50s to regain my speech after a traumatic brain injury. My teacher was in her 70s and had never tried using singing therapy, but I was a retired science teacher and brain tumor survivor. It took us several years but I fully regained my speech.

@monicaluketich6913 An enormous feat of human willpower! I was a paramedic for 25 years and had a friend, debilitated by a stroke, and was never able to recover much physically but regained his speech enough to communicate. It's all a miracle to me. Congratulations on your recovery and ongoing endeavors! I looked up the vocal ranges and saw that it was as you described it. The young man singing is part of an acapella group, and when his video popped up, I recognized him. I think of Frankie Valli of The Four Seasons, when I think of a "falsetto." This man doesn't seem to be using his vocal cords in the same way. Amazing upper range for a man. Well, I've learned a bit of new stuff that I will still never be able to use. It doesn't matter how hard I try. My voice cracks a few notes in either direction. It was actually the song title that made me click on the video. A favorite. Scarborough Fair.

@gigiquillian4776 Even if your voice cracks, like mine does now at 68 and not singing on a regular basis, it is still fun to sing/ hum to yourself. It will strengthen your vocal cords. Yes, I, too, associate falsetto will Frankie Valli, but this man is what you get with operatic training instead of singing on the street corner! Amazing, isn't it? I love all those songs I grew up. Best of luck to you, and continue to listen to music. I think of music as emotions made audio able.

@@monicaluketich6913 Absolutely. Everything you said. Good day to youbtoo!

Whats with " polish a gun "?

​@@IamAlohaSo, those words are from the "Canticle" part of Simon and Garfunkel's version (Scarborough Fair & Canticle) - but not all of the lyrics are in this version. (Which I personally missed, being a fan of the original, and you lose the story being told when so few of the words are there.) I have a sheet music version that has all the words, which are as follows: "On the side of a hill in the deep forest green, Tracing of Sparrow on snow-crested brown, Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain, Sleeps unaware of the clarion call. On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves, Washes the grave with silvery tears, A soldier cleans and polishes a gun. War bellows blazing in scarlet battalion, Generals order their soldiers to kill, And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten. Considering the time period Paul Simon was writing in, I've always assumed it was a bit of a protest about the Vietnam war, but really, it describes any wartime period. Scarborough Fair is an OLD song, but the Canticle is entirely Paul's creation, as I understand it. It's worth listening to the original once you know the Canticle lyrics, because some of them are kind of hard to make out if you don't know what's being said. Hope that helps!

​@@kateshiningdeer3334I'm also in like with Cantjcle, it's the harmony. Are you familiar with Find the Cost of Freedom by Crosby, Stills and Nash? They did a little tweaking and released that version on the album Daylight Again. Very nice . ✌️💖😸

beautifully explained. I grew up listening to this song and I’ve always preferred it with Paul Simon’s Canticle.

​@@bieuxyongsonGarfunkel wrote the Canticle.

He could have had a shave 🤷‍♂️🤣😂

💯 agreed. His voice is so beautiful it doesn't need the fiddly embellishments.

Sonny & Cher were the first to do that in the rock and roll genre.

And w/o auto-tune.

Have you not seen the amount of followers? He's not exactly un known. ;-) :-)

Right? It was so beautiful.

An angel with high vocal chords at that

I assume you mean envious.

That is not falsetto, is it? Falsetto is mock soprano, not so?

He is not singing falsetto.

But there is a little digital assistance, I believe it is called autotune. Personally, assistance or not. it's the product that is created and delivered in a most heavenly, divine way, yes, angelic indeed. That is a best use of technology, just as we receive it through our screens straight to the soul.

​@@IamthatIam97 there is no auto tune. He's an accomplished counter-tenor opera singer.

Ancient?! Simon & Garfunkel sang the soundtrack of my teens! Late 1960’s. I’ve somehow gone from 17 to 70!

​@@Grammichal The back words were added by Paul Simon, but the main verses originate in the 17 century, though personally I believe it's roots are in the middle ages as there's a hidden message in it for that unattainable woman, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, all had meaning back then. You should read about it, it's lovely.

@@pazrahamim9220 Interesting. Thanks!

This just came up by surprise as I was listening to something else completely but paused that to do something and when I returned to utube, . this appeared instead and the sweet synchronicity is that II am in Scarborough now, visiting for a few days! Incredibly Beautiful voice, such a gift to hear this in beautiful Yorkshire and Scarborough’s magical North Bay 🐠 🌊 🏰

@@karenjewitt6639 Yesterday I was looking at images of the Scarborough vaults.I was interested because I had dreamt of the place not knowing it was a real place.I probably went there as a child but I have no way of verifying .It also just popped up on my feed.

​@karenjewitt6639 what a wonderful coincidence!

Eu também

Dang. Mesmerizing. More please.

He has a gorgeous voice!! You should also check out Dimash…his range is just insane honestly. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZhpraimv7zFqKc.htmlsi=VWY7I5N_N2NdZasU Good place to start 👍🏻☺️

Check out there Bee Gees. Trio of brothers who sing in falsetto.

Barry Gibb can.

Have you never heard of Castrato?

Good comment - a counter-tenor's voice is in a category all of its own, and listening to it with awareness, it should always be clear that it's a male voice. (A counter-tenor is not singing falsetto.)

❤

😀

you should have heard St Peters Junior school 1960, you would never forget it.

Me too me too.

Listen to the Korean singer group "Forestella" for this song....I am shure you will like it too. Unfortunately the group Forestella is not existing anymore because their contract ended and the decided not to go on.

Try Omnia’s “Elven Lover”

I love this version but I actually think you cannot compare this to S&G as they are performed in a completely different style

His voice is the result of practice

Beautifully said!🙏🏻

moi aussi!

Indeed! I could listen to this endlessly on repeat!
