I sang this arrangement with my high school jazz choir my senior year, and every one of us would tear up in rehearsal. Come our final concert, we were crying while singing, and we even saw our director start crying about halfway through the song. The level of emotion that the song allows to be put into it in terms of musicality and lyrical delivery, especially with a group of talented singers, is breathtakingly beautiful, and the end result is even more so. One of my most memorable experiences making music.

@wackyd 10 ай бұрын

I also sang this song my senior year and was similarly moved. In eight years of choir (junior high through college) I think that this song and a song called Homeward Bound (Marta Keen arr Jay Althouse) were the two that were most emotionally resonant for me.

One of the most amazing moments of my singing life was being selected as part of a small group choir to sing this song WITH The King's Singers at a concert they did in Portsmouth, NH in the 90s. I think we sang this and two other songs with them and it was incredibly magical. I'll never forget it.

We saw the Kings Singers last night, 2-24-94 in Opelika AL. They performed this song, and a couple of others, with the local community choir. Two men from that choir had solo parts during this number. They did a very commendable job, and I thought it was quite gracious of the KS to give these men the thrill of a lifetime. Congratulations on your chance. I'm sure it is something to be proud of!

In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you, soon, I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows

And now, having just lost my partner, the arrangement, which brings out the dissonances and suspensions of Billy Joel's accompaniment, helps me grieve even more and more completely, so that I can get on with the next chapter of my life.

When I was in highschool our biggest choir was 212 voices. We also had a chamber ensemble, Men's Choir, Ladies' Choir, and Junior Choir. On top of that we had a Senior Orchestra, Junior Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Chamber Orchestra. Of the 1,300 students, 750 were in the music program. We did some incredible pieces, including Beethoven's Hallelujah Chorus. It is magical making music come to life this way.

It's a weird feeling. I discovered The King's Singers around a decade ago (I'm 32 now). He was the "new guy" back then. Nowadays, he's the only familiar face left. Makes me feel soooo old... The quality is top notch. I will never say anything bad of TKS. This might just be their best recording of this song. Maybe because of the lineup. Maybe because of the technical advancements in recording equipment. I won't pass judgement. But I sure miss the old days... Ah, nostalgia.
