A few friends and family members got to share this special day with us. Shot on the island of Södermalm in Stockholm it doesn't get any closer to home, and this is the vibe we want to share with you - hope you enjoy it.

The human voice is the most beautiful instrument. It truly is connected to the heart. The Real Group is outstanding.

I never heard and never will hear anything like this ever again. there is so much musical detail in this one. the sadness of beauty is expressed musically and lyrically to its fullest. what an outstanding performance.

@Usefulmusic 11 жыл бұрын

The arranger's harmonic imagination is sensational. And so is the group's tuning. Those complex chords and suspensions are just thrilling when sung by these musical perfectionists. Unreal!

Right?? I mean, what is that levitating sensation that 1:16 chord gives me?

@fredericjeanmougin3399 7 ай бұрын

@@pedrosoares2253 Not the more complex of the song (in my opinion) but yes beautiful. I think about a Dm 9 11 : D F C E G (leave a 10th between D and F).

@pedrosoares2253 7 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks mate! Well , maybe it's not the most complex but sure is the one that brings the most complex 'nasty face' from me... Uff!

This group came to my college during my freshman year at Goshen College. I was blown away because #1- the acoustics in the college were outstanding, especially since it was a relatively small college, and #2- how their voices ringed off of the walls of the halls when they sang was breathtaking. So mesmerizing!

Lyric There was a boy A very strange, enchanted boy They say he wandered very far Very far, over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day One magic day he passed my way While we spoke of many things Fools and Kings This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return"

Do you know that it was written for Nat Cole by Eban Ahbez.. his is quite a story.

This version of the song is purely amazing! While most versions are cheap covers, and somebody taking too much artistic license with the original, you've actually managed to add to the song, without taking anything away from it, as well as nailing the true emotion behind it. Absolutely beautiful!

So very true and well stated Jason, I was looking for a rendition of this beautiful standard to play lead guitar to, Something with true emotion and depth of soul, yet pure and innocent. This was breathtaking, and from watching & studying the faces from honored guests that were in attendance for this, the tears began to flow. I knew I had found the perfect piece to play along with quietly in the background. Absolutely beautiful as you stated, and timeless as a whisper in the wind....

This is exquisite. The black lead singer female voice is so well received. She favors the black actress and singer Lonette Mckee as to be like sisters. They don't need to be in a small pub doing this. They need to be in opera houses, because they are absolutely wonderful. What a divinely timeless and haunting melody that shall forever be ageless without flaw. ALL HAILS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST.

This is a great version of this song. It was written by a "proto hippie" who lived under the "Hollywood" sign up in the hills of Griffith Park here in Los Angeles with his family. Hauntingly beautiful, short and sweet. I love Nat King Cole's version, I'm singing it tomorrow and hope to do it justice, it's just a wonderful melody and sentiment.
