The Longest Time

8 жыл бұрын"The Longest Time," written by Billy Joel; arranged by Roger Emerson; performed by Chris Bandy, Cory Blackmon, Cooper Case, Mark Denman, John Frederick, and JP Stephens. Edited by Chris Bandy and Mark Denman. Thanks guys for all your hard work! Read description ⬇️⬇️⬇️
•May 2019 Update:
The idea to do this originated in May 2016, when some of the guys got ahold of the arrangement and wanted to sing it for fun. I suggested that we record it since I had all the gear. We met up at my house and had 4 hours to learn and perform it from scratch. All the vocals are our actual voices. The audio is a mix of live singing and re-tracks. In post, I added snaps and claps, and did the best that I could to make everything line up, which wasn't an easy task. I knew that the timing was a little off even before I read 500+ comments telling me that it was off.
If it sounds like one of the soloists is out of time, it is NOT his fault. All of us are able to keep rhythm, but our time constraints kept us from learning this to the point where we could perform it straight through live. I posted this video, not because I thought it was perfect, but because we all enjoy music, and I wanted these hard-working and talented guys to see the fruits of their labor.
Thanks and enjoy!!

Jo I’m not out to debate or shout anybody down. In rare exceptions when a new interpretation gives fantastic new life to a tune (Joe Cocker’s take of With a Little Help From My Friends), I typically prefer a cover to be more or less faithful in capturing as much of the original’s sound or spirit. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I doubt it. These kids are talented but do not approach the fire of Joel’s original.

It shows that you put time and effort into creating something together and I think that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your hard work and talents.

@@druidboy76 Frankly, it's also easy to tell when something's wrong. The voices are great, but the rhythm is... not as good. A lot of rushing - though very together, oddly. Good ensemble, I guess that is. Look, it's not nice to be insulting, but firstly, Agent Kennedy was, being fairly constructive about it; secondly, just cos something's difficult doesn't make this performance better or worse (nor does the skill of a critic); and thirdly, how can people learn what's wrong with their performances if nobody criticises them? Basically, what you're suggesting is a world of yes-men and yes-women and a lack of improvement because no matter how awful something is, if you put in effort is was great, champ. Good job. (To be clear, this wasn't awful. See my top couple paragraphs, or just the original comment on this thread.)

So, as a 49-year old woman who has taught music, I was impressed that teen boys would put their efforts into this. My 14-year old boy does, but these days there are not too many guys in the choirs, although all humans are given vocal chords… So, I loved the sound of these voices, and the people that go with them seem nice. If they work out more and wear outrageous clothing, most of the naysayers will probably shut their mouths. If these kids looked a little tense, well, wouldn’t most teenage boys? I liked it! I’d probably even let them date my daughters🙂

@user-sw1wq8lh2w 3 жыл бұрын
the vocals are great, they needed a click track in their ears, I think it'd have added a lot more punch with the confidence on each beat. Their vocal work is good, I think that would have really helped them to nail the timing of it all. This is still a hell of a lot better than I could do vocally, but as a drummer I can hear the timing struggles. Awesome work for sure, people seem to agree with the fact it's been heard 2M times.

It's not the pitch to what we are not used to. It's the timbre of the voice we don't recognize anymore. And that also explains why everyone sings so lightly and bright instead of deep and dark like singers used to do.
@MrJackchristian 3 ай бұрын
I agree, these young men did a nice job. But whenever we hear a good song like this, we should not think only of the performance, but of the quality of the song itself. Do people who hear this song know who composed it? Have they heard the original version? Billy Joel wrote this song and sung ALL of the harmonies HIMSELF. Now that your here on KZfaq, put in the title of this song, and "Billy Joel". Give it a listen. I was reading the comments, and they all have to do with this performance, but nothing was said of the man who wrote the lyrics, music and performed it all, singlehandedly. Give it a listen. You will appreciate this version 10x more.
