And this, folks, is how it's done. Phrasing, blend, harmony, breath control, emotionality, gentleness and sheer beauty of sound are hallmarks of both these premier groups. And to do it together - wow.

I’m not crying, you’re crying… No wait, we’re both crying,

Am I dreaming? Two of my favourite vocal groups together, absolutely magnificent!

Billy Joel created something extraordinary with this Lullabye and did justice to it on _River of Dreams._ Now VOCES8 and The King's Singers took Billy's creation to a whole 'nother level of exquisite beauty. Truly jaw-dropping.

The dislikes prove that there are people on this earth that have no soul.

Humans. We can be as profound as the heavens. Why then do we use this power for such spectacular cruelty? If we can do this, we can be so much better.

Lullabys aren't just for children -- they are for all of us.......

These singers are as close to perfection as you can humanly get. Angelic!

Well there you have it, a pinnacle of choral music. My favorite male ensemble and my favorite mixed ensemble, singing together. More of this, please ❤️

When I was very small my older sister would sing this song to me before bed. It made me cry back then because I thought she sang it so sweetly and beautifully, now I'm hearing it again many years later and I'm so grateful-thank you, thank you! ❤️

I cannot overstate how exhilarating it is to hear exquisitely talented human beings achieve such a perfect balance & blend of harmonies and, dynamics, without the interference of auto-tune and other, technological atrocities. Pure Heaven!

I can never listen to this without weeping. It completely undoes me, I fall apart. I had to sing this in choir during a really tough time in my life. This was sung and arranged so beautifully that the tears flow even harder, your voices, the melody and the words say all that was in my heart.

Goodnight, my angel Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark and deep Inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me Someday we'll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on... They never die That's how you And I Will be Gorgeous rendition❤️

I am so excited to see my two favorite ensembles singing together at the first (hope, not the last!) time!

I wish I could hear this for the first time, every time.

What a pure divine sound this very small choir make x 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

This darned song makes me cry every time, this was Billy absolutely skying. Some of the prettiest music on Earth in my opinion. Simplicity and beauty personified.

Weeping my eyes out, listening to this and thinking how much I love my nine children and my one baby grandson. . I also have so many things I want to say to them and long for them all to walk with the dear saviour Jesus Christ, who willingly laid down His life for us and took our place on the cross so we could have life.

my brain is in ecstas, full of oxytocin and dopamine, and my heart full of emotions and joy !

Zwei der weltbesten Ensembles vereint präsentieren perfekte Intonation in einem wundervollen Lied. Musik vom Feinsten mit viel Gefühl und sichtbarer Freude dargeboten. Bitte, bitte bereichert die Welt mit weiteren gemeinsamen Produktionen! Einfach großartig!

Gosh, how do you even comment on something that is musically and visually so perfect. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

One of the most beautiful songs ever written performed in a most beautiful way.

Both together? That’s just wonderful and incredible.

Well… I’ll just be here bawling my eyes out…

Mein Herz gehört genau dieser Akkapella Musik.Möge sie niemals aufhören.🙏

WE DON’T DESERVE THIS 😭🥺 Ps: Can we have a whole album please?

Teary eyed, at the end 🥺🌟❤️

Superb

Never have two groups blended together so perfectly! That beautiful song and wonderful arrangement was just the right vehicle.

Im crying, this is so emotional. Music is the only thing that will unite this planet. God bless you all!

Absolutely divine.

My grandfather was a Navy vet, and this is song I requested for his funeral in 2005. You helped me today, and I thank you for that.

Two quite extraordinary top English choral groups together...unusual, refreshing and revelatory.

Always loved this. Billy Joel is one of my favourite artists. Voces8 and KS have done justice to this beautiful song. Thank you!

Oh Halleluja :)! Be blessed All of you. I cried the whole song. I cried because of Jesus mercy to me and my life. I walked through two divorces. Lost my job after 19 years. The only savior in my circumstances through this hard experiences is Jesus. I can only confess He is my savior ! The last time it was at 14th November in year 2020. I felt lost and depressed. I felt I have no future. The Jesus saved me from death and I only can praise him for his endless love to me. He is the only savior to me and for All mankind. Please, give your whole life to him. He love you and have a wonderful plan for you. Many blessing to you :)!

I just love you!🎶😌😍🤗

I am coming 80. Music has been my life. The number of covers that I have thought were better than the original I can count on one hand. This is one of them, Pure, pure class. Brilliantly written by Billy Joel. But VOCES8 and the Kings singers have taken this beautiful song to a whole new heavenly place.

How can they sing this, and hearing the poignant lyrics and how wonderfully they blend, not burst into tears?!

There is nothing as beautiful as the human voice.

Oh my goodness. 👍❤️🤗

Engelgleiche Stimmen! So wohltuend in unserer heutigen grausamen Zeit! Danke...

Absolutely beautiful, there is nothing more to say than: THANK YOU!!!

This is a heavyweight on the balance of humans best and worst.. Thank you VOCES8 from the heart... May many voices join...

More please!

I’m just totally wrecked. Obviously this is one of the most magnificent choral arrangements and executions ever in vocal music. The listening to each other. The magic in that alone is black-out exquisite. What an experience. 😢❤

My favorite choral performance of this beautiful lullaby. Truly a masterpiece 🏆👏🎶

Superbly sung by these two groups!

Bravo to Philip Lawson 👏

OMG OMG OMG 'Goodnight my Angel', and MY FAVOURITE SINGING GROUPS together singing this stunning song by Billy Joel, and arranged by a Former Member of TKS Philip Lawson. I have heard 2 versions by The King's Singers, and love them, this is now another favourite.. *Squeal, heart melts & then I Sob into my hanky* My cup runneth over, my heart is full, and my tear glands are empty.. THANK YOU VOCES8 & The KING'S SINGERS. You are wondrous, splendid, harmonies to melt for and truly truly MAGNIFICENT. Best wishes to all, from Wales. PS: I am fast approaching my 6th decade on this planet and have been a Fan of TKS since my early teens, you gentleman still amaze me every time you sing. AND Voces8 you are now firmly right next to TKS in my heart and ears.. BRAVO ALL

Two of my most favourite ensembles together! What more can one ask for? Oh, to have been there! This is like having Bach and Handel coming together to improvise together on the organ!

Hair raising skin tingling bloody beautiful !!

Just, WOW!🥲

Breathtakingly beautiful. Please go on and give the world more of this.

Such a touching song that Billy wrote. It's otherworldly when The King's Singers sing it!! Stunning. ❤️

Absolutely stunning. Heavenly.

This is on another level. Utterly breathtaking, how can anything be so sublime x

I could listen to this forever. The balance, tone and blend of these two groups together is absolute perfection and stunning in every way! It's as if VOCES8 and the King's Singers need to sing together forever! Thank you for collaborating your professional talents in presenting this amazingly beautiful arrangement. Thank you!

Well that is worthy of a standing ovation. Both for the genius who wrote the song and for these very talented singers! This version is just about perfect as it would soothe any child (or adult) who is fighting off the turmoil of the day. Listening to this probably lowered my blood pressure 10 points.

I wonder if Billy has heard this? So nice.

God! I was not ready for that.

So schön, DANKE🤗

It makes me cry….beautiful things often do and this is beyond beautiful 😍

wow, gorgeous collaberation

Being able to sing like that is definitely a wonderful and unique gift. Thank you. Great song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of my all time favorite songs performed by two of my favorite groups. Breathtaking!

Three counter-tenors in one performance... blessed!!

Is there anything more beautiful than unaccompanied singing?

on today's episode of things so beautiful they made me cry:

I can’t believe these two groups got together. It’s as if my ultimate ensemble bucket wish came true…along with THE BEST VOCAL TRACK!!!!!

What a lesson for the world! That 2 seemingly competitors can join together and make such enormous joy for them and us. Heartfelt thanks🌹

A foretaste of paradise!

Absolutely beautiful!

Miraculous; such gentleness yet such power. Only the very best, you ARE the very best, beloved singers

I'm sure Billy Joel would love this beautiful rendition of his composition.

more more more more more MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE Please... i need this.

Just beautiful an incredible arrangement and interpretation 🥰🥰🥰

Actually, Billy Joel's Lullaby is too small when two such masterful ensembles meet, but the marvelous arrangement brings together the warm, pleasant voices of the King's Singers and the incredible sopranos and chorus of voces8 in such a way that both groups are shown to their best advantage, resulting in a dreamlike overall sound. I don't think it gets any better than this.

An Perfektion, musikalischem Einfühlungsvermögen und Reinheit der Stimmen kaum zu überbieten. Ihr seid eine unerreichte Bereicherung für die Musik.Danke !!

..... no words, just a few tears to say what I cannot

Totally exquisite!!

I just performed this with my high school's advanced choir, and I thought we performed really well until I heard this version. You all have such a beautiful, rich, clear tone that is unmatched by any other performing group. Please keep making wonderful music like this! You're changing lives and inspiring so many :)

Somehow, listening to this, having followed King Singers for so long, it fells like a small hymn to the irreplaceable past members of The King Singers. David Hurley, Paul Phoenix and Stephen Conelly. The voices of eternity. Thank you for sharing miracles. It´s not often you get two of the 4 best ensembles in the world to collaborate and create magic. If The Countertop Ensemble would join in, and Max Q would reunite...life would end well. Beautiful piece. Balulalow by Voces8 still being the absolute favourite. Miss Haines, you´re an angel. Thank you, all of you.

Unglaublich - thank you!!!

The collab of the century!!!!!!

Thank you Voces8 and King's Singers! My heart is full ❤

This is one of the most beautiful music recordings I have ever heard. Bravo x

Two years on from this masterpiece, how about another KS/V8 collaboration. We all want to see it!

Brought me tears. So lovely.

Omg! I'm now in self-isolation at home due to Covid19, and hearing this really makes my mind relaxed, and heal my pain for a while 🥺

How absolutely EXQUISITE! Gloriously sung; but, noting the very poignant lyrics, I’m unsure how those singers sang SUCH a text without weeping… KUDOS TO ALL!!!! ❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️

Imagine you would have had the chance to just lay down on your back in the middle of that circle and listen to the sound of heaven!

Listening to this song on the evening after the devastating shooting at Robb Elementary. To the parents who will never get to say goodnight to their babies, and instead are saying an eternal goodnight to their angels, we are wrapping you in love.

This made me cry the first time I heard it, but in a good way. Vocal perfection. This is for you, boys 🐾 🐱🐱🐾. Goodnight my angels 💞

Thank you for sharing with us such an ecstatic moment when time stands still and all is serenity and gentleness. these days, it does a lot of good!

Some things can be perfect. Thank you

I love billy Joel and Voces8 - worlds colliding ❤️

Oh my gosh! The King's Singers and Voces8 singing together! My day is made! Utterly fab!

Well, you'd expect nothing less than absolute beauty from these two groups, and here it is! Thank you Phillip Lawson for an arrangement that makes the most of a fabulous collaboration.

God its beautiful, im on tears rn

Breathtaking...so much talent...!!!
