My Best Video: "How Great Thou Art - Peter Hollens feat. The All-American Boys Chorus"
• Video
~-~~-~~~-~~-~
Perfect way to illustrate the line, "Every now and then I fall apart." 😂
The drone was like "really? Oh okay!" *falls down*
This gave me anxiety watching, but in a way this video is probably 1000 times more intriguing than what it was supposed to be
chief no
The purple zebra yes. It was
Wow!!! You know what? The bloopers made this even more exciting! Hahaha.
Every time you looked at the sun I was like nooooooooooo peter don't look
Gigi Hart you can actually look while it's in totality
We just got a 100% total eclipse here in Canada in 2024!
I immediately thought of this video. Some dude was filming with a drone as well but his failed and crashed into Lake Erie!!
Thank you for making this video!! I love it!
❤❤❤
This might be my new favorite video of yours! This was just too cool! I love that you took advantage of this special opportunity :)
This song is beautiful too! Sorry the the GoPro and and drone didn't go as planned, but I think what you did with the footage you had was amazing!
Elle L I agree!
This means so much to me, Vicky!! Thank you, and I am just glad you guys got to see everything that went into this video:-)
Peter Hollens Would you considered doing a behind the scenes video where we get to meet all of the people that help make these amazing videos? I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that we like to see what goes on behind the scenes :)
Peter, your video is like Apollo 13 - a successful failure. Thats why I appreciate your video very much. :)
it gave me chills!!!
super cool video dude :)
Thank you, Kurt it really means a lot!!
This made me smile so much. Beautiful music, and a great video showing how to persevere in spite of everything.
I'm so glad!!! Thank you for the support :)

Peter Hollens the next eclipse is in 2024
I loved it too ! I was smiling and stressed for you during the entire video. It must have been amazing (I am from France so I didn't get the chance to see it, but I can still remember the one from 1999). And despite all the technicals issues your video turned out really great, it felt really genuine.
Peter Hollens Come to Newfoundland there's a Total Eclipse here in 2024!!!
This video just makes you more human than you realize. You work and prep and then something happens, even if you don't expect it, and you still take it for what it's worth. It's a beautiful video and I loved it more than any other you have posted. Thank you for reminding us that to be human is to work with what we can.
May I just say that you and your crew's professionalism during that bit of chaos is very admirable. And kudos to whom ever thought to shoot a music video of Total Eclipse of the Heart during and actual eclipse. I would have never thought of that in a million years. Keep up the good work!
The eclipse definitely made the video a lot more beautiful. ^_^
ah thank you! It was seriously AMAZING in person
I also saw the eclipse in totality and I was amazed and my mind was blown. It was more than I expected.
While the video shoot didn't go as planned, the music was still awesome, and I think the overarching message is an important one: no matter how much you plan, sometimes things just don't go the way you hope they will, but that doesn't mean that they aren't beautiful and good in and of themselves.
Love that message. Thanks for the support Kate :)
Wow!! That was amazing. I missed the eclipse because where I live it got blocked by the clouds. 😣 But apparently there's gonna be another one in only 7 years and where I live we're gonna get full coverage! I can't wait for it and your next videos! This video had me smiling wide and in such happiness! Thanks guys!
There's nothing worse than missing an incredible, rare celestial event because some f*&%ing everyday atmospheric event decided to crash the party.
Timothy McLean yeah. But like I said there's another one in only 7 years. Surprising, but exciting!
Same! dang clouds :p
Aubrey Fagnano yea I saw that and I'm gonna graduate before that so I can move to around by myself to see on April 8 the 2024
Banana Trident congratulations! I'll be 27 in September of 2024. Yep. I'll be 20 in two weeks from Thursday! Yay!
I loved the honesty. You could have chosen to cover it all up with night shots, CGI and other tricks, but I find this frank vulnerability much more charming.
"Well be ready for the next... oh wait"
Well.. other parts of the world have eclipses, sometimes.. I believe here in the Netherlands there will be one in 2026 :) Maybe in 9 years you can try to do it here in our little country ;)
Bernadette van der Lee Yaaaassss
Bernadette van der Lee there's one in 2024 in America
I'm just giving him options :)
Yes, it 's coming from Texas up through upstate NY by me, which will be very cool! :)
Looks that South America will gonna have one in 2019
A higher up at my school had us stay inside saying it would blind us permanently if we went outside and even saw the eclipse for less than a second. So we were locked inside during a ONCE in a lifetime experience, all windows closed, sad. (Last year, Europe)
We had glasses. But they still didn't let us out
Still salty... she said it was inevitable that someone would take their glasses off and therefore had to all be inside.
Just a perfect excuse to travel! Australia will be having one in 11 years, you're more than welcome to share ours! ^-^
I stared at the eclipse the whole time during totality and I can see just fine.
Last year in Europe was only a partial eclipse though. Still sad they wouldn't let you out. We went class per class at our school. And when I was in highschool, or maybe it was the last year of primary school, we had the full eclipse, which everyone went crazy for too.
This is awesome. We drove 34 hours round trip from Canada to Wyoming to witness it. I really really appreciate that you made this video during the eclipse... but buddy, what a sacrifice you made. :( You gotta just put everything down and WITNESS IT at totality, it's an unbelievable sight. Awesome job, awesome as always.
Peter Hollens - 7 years for next one here - BUT the afternoon of July 2, 2019 in La Serena, Chile. See you there?
I had to turn around and watch it a couple times... It was absolutely incredible... I never thought the world had such a natural beauty such as this!!!!
You say you had to TURN AROUND? Awesome video, Peter! Can't wait to see the official one soon.
I will send you the photos I took in Casper Wyoming, Peter. I don't have a fancy camera, so they aren't NASA quality - but they're pretty decent. It was just spectacular and humbling.
We went from Ontario Canada to Kentucky to see it :) so cool
Sorry to see everything fell apart just as totality was about to hit. Good news is the Second Great American Eclipse is only 7 years from now on April 8th, 2024. I was waiting 11 years for this eclipse, ever since I was 5 I begged my parents to arrange something so we could travel into the path of totality. I managed to get my father to drag me down to Hopkinsville and we were just a mile away from the point of greatest totality. Perfect weather, and as soon as totality hit I just broke down into tears and sobbed like a complete nerd. Such a beautiful sigh that I'll never forget. Thanks for doing a cover of this dude, it's absolutely incredible!
Once you experience one, it really is addicting. The one happening in new Mexico got me remembering ours.
I am so glad that you can take these mishaps and turn it into something positive. I play in an orchestra, and *constantly* music will fall off a stand, or someone will start too early. I think it's not about the mistakes you make, it's more about how you treat the mistakes. Great job to you and your crew! :)
I can sympathize with you guys, though my eclipse incident was minor by comparison. I ended up slightly bumping my telescope tube less than one minute to totality, filming the eclipse, and spent close to two minutes in a panic, trying to find it. I did stop for a moment and observe totality, but went back to trying to find it, and finally captured it about 10 to 15 seconds before totality's end...then put the filter back on after pointing the tube toward the trees. It took me three months to get my new telescope ready...not bad for a budget scope, though. (I also managed to, mid-totality, capture a few nearly-full frames, which I am currently working on restoring, as a composite image. Also, I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for what I got; just showing you guys that, hey, you're not alone.) That was a great cover, dude - one of the best covers I've ever heard, in my opinion. You've earned a new subscriber. Good job.
AMAZING! ✨😄I'm so glad you guys didn't give up!! 😊👍This was an amazing video despite all the problems😄😊✨Keep up the great work!!😄😊👍✨
Edit: Wow! 😊Thank you for over a hundred likes! 🎉I'm humbled to have that much support! 😄Thank you all!!🙏💖
My crew never gave up!! It was awesome to see:-)
This was amazing! Loved your reactions . . . and your determination. I so love the t-shirt and am really going to get one . . . but was wondering, how much for an autographed version? (wink) Seriously. :-)
*Unnecessary emoji vomit.*
There is another Eclipse coming in 7 years through Florida... Sounds like a road trip. Thank you for the video. You always brighten... sorry... my day... Love from Ohio...
Why wait for 7 years, when there will be one over Ukraine in just 2021
As a Floridian - It's not coming through FL, it's actually going through parts of Ohio and Indiana, much closer to your neck of the woods. Idianapolis would be the best spot near you.
Except if you're from Europe
It's coming through here in Texas though, where it will be a total eclipse.
rob cunningham Florida is definitely not getting totality in 2024. It will run (in the US) from Texas to Maine, including Ohio in Dayton and Cleveland; stay put!
I felt like I could actually see tears starting to form as you turned back around from seeing the totality for the first time. What an amazing experience. Glad some stuff worked out in the end 😊
I was literally in SHOCK! It was so amazing!!!
This is simply incredible!!! I was smiling the whole time! Made the best out of everything going wrong, haha :)
I really loved the raw footage, it really brings you more to the front and we see everything that makes your videos...
This. Is. The. Coolest. Video. I've. Seen. SO FREAKING AWESOME!!
OMG it's just like in movies where things didn't work out unexpectedly but then it slowly worked out and it became so awesome. You and your team are so freaking awesome Peter!! I feel like I wanna say it a thousand times 😂
Really?! YESSS!!!! thanks Clara! :D
Peter Hollens yes really!! Especially the fact that I can't experience the eclipse with my own eyes, this video cheers me up! Thank you!! Once again, awesome!!! And you're welcome 😄
I love the bloopers. This is such an amazing video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Jamie!!!! :)
What a mess lol. Good job on that hustle though!
haha I know. Thanks Jamie!
Do a cover of "It's Quiet Uptown" from Hamilton with Evynne!!! Thanks for the great music, Peter!!!
Peter, you had a crew of 6+ people, Casey pulled off 6 camera angles by himself lol. Still my favorite singer though, Murphy's law was in full effect and I think this was more entertaining watching EVERYTHING go wrong than what you planned. Thanks for sharing :)
Yeah Peter Hollens
Great job
I like the eclipse cam that's really cool
:) we tried!! Thanks!
Peter everything happens for a reason and the reason was a GTRAT Video...... Not everything always goes as planned.
Debbie Bradley I Agree
This was awesome, even with all the failures. I hope you enjoyed the eclipse :)
haha I'm glad you think so :) Thanks Heather!
Still really enjoyed the video, even though it didn't go as planned :)
Idk what you're talking about that was bomb
Also, I love how at the end, everybody's just like "WTF just happened?!?!?" And then Pter's running around screaming about how awesome it is! >D
I was thinking about this song during the eclipse. Great minds think alike :)
Yes they do:-)
First of all: Love the song!! Did you know that it's originally from a German musical about vampires?
Second: Beautiful shots (the ones you got at least. lol)
Third: It's so cool to see people "fail" but instead of beating themselves up they're still making the best of it!!!
Good job, honeys!!!
I had no clue about that!! Thank you so much:-)
I saw the eclipse and it was AWESOME!!!
And then I dislocated my knee immediately afterward. XD lol
wasn't it crazy?! So freakin cool! Oh no, I'm sorry about your kneee!!! Recover soon!
Thank you! I'm practically better already!
Seth Strickland We were far off the path (I had viewed another back in the 1970's) but my neck went out, and a cousin's back went out -- she was in the path. Strange indeed. Something to remember, certainly. Ouch!
Omg Peter....really...XD the whole country is watching the solar eclipse and you stare in the opposit direction? In a Camera? XD
artist are weird like that lol
All for our benefit
LPIndie Commitment lol
That's why he's singing Turn Around!
Lovely i always love this song and now i love it even more, this guy is amazing his voice omg.
Almost 2 years later, and this video still makes me WEEP. Seeing the ring come into sight as the moon completely covers the sun, and hearing the music...I just lose it. Full on tears. One of my all time favorite videos on UA-cam. ❤️
Okay, I've watched both now and commented in v.2 first. I give the edge to this version (#1) because I liked all the explanations about what was going on, and it told the whole story a little better than #2. It's always fun to see how you make your videos, so all that behind-the--scenes stuff was great. And the song itself was terrific (as always) even with the interruptions. All in all, #1 had a little more continuity and was a really fun telling of the eclipse story which you (and we) will all remember for the rest of our lives! Great job, despite all the things that went wrong!
thank you so so much for your feedback Beau!!!
HAHAHAHAHA, the GoPro Offline.. Still Made me Die of laughter!!!!!!!!!!
BlitzMC R.I.P. aha
omg so good and even with the mess ups it was unique I liked it
This gave me chills. Incredible. Nice work!
Oh Wow! Cool to see you guys here! First like! Peter is truly amazing!
I've introduced this video to my students today. They are swooning over your voice. Some even commented that they got goosebumps listening to the eclipse part of this video because of your voice complimenting the somber atmosphere caused by said eclipse. Expect more subscribers to your channel. And keep on singing since you are my role model. Thank you.
I absolutely love this video. It is the perfect jumble of professionalism and mess-ups, singing and total awe at the eclipse, and just showing who you guys really are at heart! Keep doing what you're doing brother!
that is great to hear!! thanks for watching bud :)
wow the eclipe is wow
soooo epic
It was super moving despite the mishaps. I cried. I had my eclipse 18 years ago and wish I will be able to see another before I go.
This video still makes me sob uncontrollably. It’s that beautiful. The heavens and the celestials are so beautiful.
This is awesome!!!! Can you please sing Here I Am from the movie Spirit please Peter Hollens?
Maybe I will always return as well?
That would be amazing!!!! I love those songs!!!
Seconded :D
Third, fourth, and fifth that request! Love that movie and it's one of my daughters favorites too!
YES!
Yes! This would be a great song!
You still got to see a complete eclipse. I only got a partial DX
true that! It was freakin amazing!!
Peter Hollens you're lucky you live in that area. I would have loved to see a full eclipse.
Atleast you got to see an eclipse. I only got to see the clouds.
Even though there were technical difficulties, this was a truly magical music video ❤️😄 thanks for including such a special moment in history into your video, the song was perfect!
Even if most of the things went wrong eclipse still looked amazing! And you managed to turn this into a fun video. That's the spirit!😃And I liked the cover very much😊
Thank you for this, I am so glad you got to see how fun and crazy making this video was!!!!
Peter Hollens thank you for replying😁
The look of awe on your face is all we needed from this music video.
YOU ARE A GENIUS
Despite all the trouble you faced, I still found this video every emotional and amazing. Well done Peter, blown me away once again!
Still a very very nice video ! Truely Amazing !
Awesome video, awesome song, amazing glimpse of the process!
BTW, the "next one" (next total in the U.S.) will be over the eastern states in 2024.
Thanks Seth, thrilled that you think so. YOU ROCK!
0:52 I'm sorry but that couldn't have failed more perfectly!😂 "Every now and then I fall apart" And then the drone falls... Either way it was a great cover, great job keeping it together by the end of it!😆👍
I've watched this video a bunch of times now. This time made me cry. It's too real.
It's very good for a failed video shoot
You do realize that there is an Eclipse every 18 months people? The last one stateside was only ca. 7 years ago, you just have to go find them. This one was only special because it spanned the entire US from coast to coast, that only happens every 99 years or so. Eclipses are cool and you do get you revved up, so no criticism meant, it is just that people seem to think they are really rare and they are not, just most happen over ocean or underpopulated areas. That said, I still like your version of the song and the video itself. I am glad you did turn to see it, shame to miss it.
There was no chance I was not going to turn around and look!!!! I do agree, it was just crazy that I was in the path of totality:-)
All of the things that went wrong made the video better! The eclipse is amazing!
I cannot stop watching this video. I love the behind the scenes look at how you put this one together. the joy on your face when you got to see the eclipse is pretty cool!
The imperfections of failed cameras, crashing drones, and surprised expressions on your face Peter made this the most perfect video ever! I keep watching and keep smiling!
This video is so very special and awesome, Peter.
I went outside at the times specified for my state, and from where my home is situated in Arkansas there was no eclipse visible, at any time but there were some very interesting fluctuations in color saturation in my area among other things. So to be able to see the eclipse happening during your performance was the best eclipse-related experience for me, sir.
May God bless you and your sweet family in every way, and give you great success in all of your ventures.
Lyrics
(Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu)
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then
I fall apart
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit helpless
And I'm lying like a child in your arms
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit angry
And I know I've got to get out and cry
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit terrified
But then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then
I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then
I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever, forever's gonna start tonight
(Forever's gonna start tonight)
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
(There's nothing I can do
Tonight I only need you)
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
(Tu tu tu tu tu ta ta ta ta ta)
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever, forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
It looked beautiful! Great video, I smiled the whole way through. The things that went a little wrong gave it all a lot of character, if that is how you say that. It just made it perfect :)
Thank you!! We all had so much fun during this whole thing, and I am honestly glad things happened the way they did:-)
Dang man. Problems or no problems, this is legendary. I mean, I the performance and singing (as always) is stunning, but your timing with the eclipse is just...AH! I can't get enough of this! Bravo my friend!
This track is amazing. I want to thank you for the work you do and the effort you put into not only sharing your beautiful voice and incredible talent with us, but for spending you time, sharing your love, and just blessing us with your love and you commitment and....just....thank you. You and your amazing family are a gift to all of us. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your life.
he saw the chance and he took it.
So here's something to ponder Peter.......this is gonna happen again in the US on April 8, 2024, right here in good ole NE Ohio. Why not make plans for a video shoot here and at various locations around the Akron/Cleveland area and invite about a few hundred of your loyal followers to join the festivities and be in the video.....I'll supply the coffee and donuts. LMK what you think about that.....Great vid by the way, thanks so much for sharing your talent with the world. How's that little baby of your's doing. Hope to hear from you soon. Big Al in Akron.
Oh man, I'm sorry you didn't get the epic shots you were hoping for, but you wound up with a truly unique and hilarious video anyway! Thanks for sharing the madness with us.
This feels like the climax of a movie, the crucial once in a lifetime moment, every little thing starts falling apart and everyone is doing the best they can, and despite the setback things come out great.
And with great soundtrack of course. Great video, thanks for sharing it.
My 2 month old ADORES all of your music, but this song has been making him giggle smile since he first heard it! Weird thing to say, but thank you for making my life at the changing table easier!
I don't care that this wasn't perfect... It was still awesome! And truly unique. Actually, this might be my new favourite. It's definitely a top three.
Thank you for all the amazing songs and videos you make for us ❤
what a great adventure though!! it's the journey that counts sometimes!! :D
This journey was one to remember:-)
Love it peter I'm glad you posted this it's it's a behind the scenes but also it shows nothing ever goes off with out a hitch
totally - no matter how much you plan, things go wrong!! haha
So very true
First, the "issues" male the effort more fun and the video more dramatic. Second, that is genuinely one of the best versions of that song that I have ever heard! Well done!
Great video. Just wanted to say thank you. Without your music videos I would have never finished my 88 page research paper. Your music videos just make it so easy for me to write. So, thanks again
The chance that something will go horribly wrong in the production of a music video is inversely proportional to the ease of reshooting the video. So don't worry too much-this could have gone much worse if you wouldn't have another shot in several years!
sure thing! Thanks Timothy :)
What failure? I loved it!!
Great music as always but i think the moon stole the show that time
I would have to agree!!!
Living somewhere where we didn't get to see the full total eclipse, this video showed me what it actually looked like, as well as showing me the pure joy that comes with it. So glad it went well (mostly), and here's to the next eclipse!
The best part of this is your ability to remain calm and solve the problems that came your way
WOW!!!! FANTASTIC Video!!!!! Awe-inspiring!!~!
Just go to Mexico for the next on in 7 years 😂😂😩
Someday I will see a total eclipse in real life..
That was amazing. Also I love how you're singing then point to the drone that just dropped straight out of the sky. You did amazing with all of that!
I love your vulnerability. Thanks for letting us see the hidden variables of a great music video shoot.
This made me subscribe.
This was really cool! You should do "Rocket Man" by Elton John.
Become petter hollen patreon to keep him in YT for the last he breath
He a try hard
I have been following you for years, and I have to say this is my favorite video you have put out. It's fantastic to see so much of your raw personality, you are a great guy.
The eclipse itself was all we needed to see , and we did! It made it much better to see your awe! This is the only music video of this song I'll ever watch, because it is so special!
Using a REAL "total eclipse of the heart" makes the song totally different. Your mistakes only made it better - far more hopeful and joyful than the original. (Bonnie Tyler sounds like she is having a panic attack as she falls in love)
Thank you so much for this compliment:-)
Could u sing Galway girl by Ed Sheeran
MetaTron YES! I just said that! Pls like my comment?
MetaTron Yes! What a great idea! Please Peter?
#HollensSnapchatFamily btw if you see this talk to me on snapchat peter!
great memories aren't always made from perfect moments. Once in a life time moment, one you'll certainly remember with a smile on your face. Well done for creating something beautiful, even if it didn't end up the way you planned!
I live in Missouri and so I was able to take my brother out of school and down to the area of totality to see it first hand! We were extremely blessed that we were far enough east that the rain held off til right after the eclipse finished. There are no words to express how breathtaking the experience truly was! I can't wait for 2024 so my daughter can experience it.
Thank you so much for capturing this beautiful natural phenomenon while recording! Even with the complications, you and you team did an absolute amazing job and definitely have something spectacular to show for it!
