Shams is the arrangement God. For real, his arrangements have a refined and classy vibe that I've yet to be seen from anyone else. Just like fine wine, he continues to get better with age.
Damn Jessie is a MONSTER. I feel like there's so much more to her jaw-dropping performance than what I could initially hear from the recording on the album. This video is a blessing!
Agreed!! BEAST.MODE. Absolutely undeniable. This song is ridiculously demanding and was performed with every ounce of emotion and extraordinary talent any fan could ever ask for.
am i the only one that is obsessed with this performance? i watch this multiple times everyday and the recording of this is on my spotify playlists. jesus christ jessie, are you still breathing now? bc that was insane.
wow I'm so jealous of that girl range, I mean when she started I was sure someone else was going to take the corus, but no, she took it and slayed it... also, she has a pretty clear voice and defined riffs and runs. I'm sooooo envious really.
jessie has my heart with those vocals, fell in love with it during season 1 of sing it on and i am in love with this arrangement. Shams is a musical genius that needs to be arranging songs for the recording industry or Broadway or something. IN LOVE
I can't stop coming back to this! So proud of Jessie for doing this solo, I remember Sing It On and the anxiety and stage fright she had, and I think this song just represents that breaking through the barrier
Okay. Sia has an incredible voice with such range. This girl, in my own opinion, has topped her in range and ferocity. Such strength and passion. Love their rendition.
JESSIE IS SO AMAZING!!! I love her voice so much, her belt is so so good. You guys are my favorite group!! I own all of your music and I listen to them on repeat. I do singing and musical theater, but watching this show and this group in particular made me decide that I want to do singing and performing for the rest of my life!!!!! I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POV: it’s five years later - I’m still clinically obsessed, and this still redefines the phrase “Earth without Art is just Eh.” Incredible, all (I think I counted once) 15 of you. Just DAYUM.
I was born in a thunderstorm I grew up overnight I played alone I'm playing on my own I survived Hey I wanted everything I never had Like the love that comes with light I wore envy and I hated it But I survived I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go Where the wind don't change And nothing in the ground can ever grow No hope, just lies And you're taught to cry into your pillow I'll survive I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive “ I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) - The Nor'easters I found solace in the strangest place Way in the back of my mind I saw my life in a stranger's face And it was mine I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go Where the wind don't change And nothing in the ground can ever grow No hope, just lies And you're taught to cry into your pillow But I'll survive I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing You took it all, but I'm still breathing I have made every single mistake That you could ever possibly make I took and I took and I took what you gave But you never noticed that I was in pain I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't I told you that I would never be forgotten And all in spite of you And I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive I was born in a thunderstorm
This is probably always going to be one of my favorite Nor'Easters videos. Jessie is absolutely amazing, Ty's hips, Johanna's everything, Meghan in general
Goodness gracious. Energy and charisma from absolutely everyone and nobody missed a note. A kick ass soloist and an arrangement that didn’t even sound like a cappella. Epic doesn’t cover it.
I am in shock. I am in awe. There is now a place far above perfection and you guys own it. I have chills and goosebumps. Impeccable. and OMG girl! You freaking owned it!
This is by far one of my favourite Sia songs, and one of my top all time favourite songs, and was like "It's going to be hard to sing this one." and like I'm pleasantly surprised. 10/10 would recommend.
Absolultely love to see how much this group has grown since the last time I saw them in '11. Amazing then, amazing now. This soloist needs to be famous asap. Sending love as from former Mind the Gap UO member
This is by far the best song you all have sung. AMAZING harmonies. Jessie shows the story of the song so incredibly well. Even just the little things like just closing your eyes and singing make a world of a difference and you all KILLED IT!!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE. You guys need a record deal ASAP and so does Shams because his arrangements are unmatched by ANYONE. Keep killing it, Nor'easters! I can't wait to see what's next for you! Jessie's solo was unreal...
You know what I think? I think a category should be created in the Grammy's for beatboxing, just so that an award can be given to the beatboxers who did such a wonderful job here.
Well. I have just discovered your channel. I'm feel now blessed. Seriously, I'm always searching the one video which will make me feel something unique. Here, I re-discover all my favorite videos. Wow, really, thanks.
Shams is the arrangement God. For real, his arrangements have a refined and classy vibe that I've yet to be seen from anyone else. Just like fine wine, he continues to get better with age.
Oh my god thank you for that wonderful compliment!
Agreed. This is like a one song tutorial on collegiate a cappella arranging
I Martin I
Was Jessie's voice completely shot the day after? That's an extraordinary amount of high belting.
Damn Jessie is a MONSTER. I feel like there's so much more to her jaw-dropping performance than what I could initially hear from the recording on the album. This video is a blessing!
Thank you Tim!!
JessieLitwin you need to make more covers I'm going through withdrawal symptoms ❤
Agreed!! BEAST.MODE. Absolutely undeniable. This song is ridiculously demanding and was performed with every ounce of emotion and extraordinary talent any fan could ever ask for.
The control, timbre, and choices made by that vocal percussionist are unreal. Intricate, smart, blends well. Damn man.
am i the only one that is obsessed with this performance? i watch this multiple times everyday and the recording of this is on my spotify playlists. jesus christ jessie, are you still breathing now? bc that was insane.
Omg same! Obsessed with this one and 'what now'
Taylor Bibb NO I CANT STOP LISTENING
She absolutely crushed it.
Só você alecrim dourado
I was eight years too late to this. I needed this in my life before the pandemic when I was in high school.
wow I'm so jealous of that girl range, I mean when she started I was sure someone else was going to take the corus, but no, she took it and slayed it... also, she has a pretty clear voice and defined riffs and runs. I'm sooooo envious really.
Holy shit. She. Is. So. Good.
jessie has my heart with those vocals, fell in love with it during season 1 of sing it on and i am in love with this arrangement. Shams is a musical genius that needs to be arranging songs for the recording industry or Broadway or something. IN LOVE
Hey, thank you so much! :)
crying rn seeing that you replied
I can't stop coming back to this! So proud of Jessie for doing this solo, I remember Sing It On and the anxiety and stage fright she had, and I think this song just represents that breaking through the barrier

@@naynay8088 this! ^^^
Waiting for your cover my friend! Lol
Okay. Sia has an incredible voice with such range. This girl, in my own opinion, has topped her in range and ferocity. Such strength and passion. Love their rendition.

Her lethal heels tho... icing on the cake. AWESOME soloist
this group is hands down the best vocal group I've ever heard so talented!
JESSIE IS SO AMAZING!!! I love her voice so much, her belt is so so good. You guys are my favorite group!! I own all of your music and I listen to them on repeat.

This is so wholesome still and I love that for you 🧡

I keep playing this over and over and over.. I am in love. It is just so amazing. Goosebumps feelings over and over again
You guys really have a chance to win it this year
Profile pic is 🔥🔥
Oh my God girrrl this range is everything I didn't know I needed
dayum..spot on..thought Sia was in the house..sounded amazing..great job
I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I'm playing on my own
I survived
Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated it
But I survived
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
I'll survive
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
“
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
- The Nor'easters
I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face
And it was mine
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I'll survive
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave
But you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
And all in spite of you
And I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)

This is probably always going to be one of my favorite Nor'Easters videos. Jessie is absolutely amazing, Ty's hips, Johanna's everything, Meghan in general
WOAH! JESSIE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!! SO MUCH TALENT IN THIS GROUP!😝😍
Wow. Jessie's amount of control of her voice is INCREDIBLE.
Goodness gracious. Energy and charisma from absolutely everyone and nobody missed a note. A kick ass soloist and an arrangement that didn’t even sound like a cappella. Epic doesn’t cover it.
she's genuinely incredible, breath control, intonation, power etc I'm truly obsessed
HOW DO YOU DO THE HEARTBEAT SOUND OMG.
Ahmad Naqiyuddin Hishamudin he’s essentially making a very similar sound to a voice crack and controlling it. Like a squeak.
Spark1383 It's actually just a glottal attack with a closed mouth and the tongue in an "ng" spot.
It's been incredible to see Jessie grow!
The Noreasters are my favorite colligite accapella group! Ya'll are better than the ENTIRE pitch perfect cast.
You guys killed this song. It's not alive anymore.
Colby Leary haha good one!
Colby Leary yeah nah, it’s dead now.
I know this is a really old video, but it still gives me chills... absolutely amazing!
I thought it was impossible to do Sia justice :o
Jessie is just incredible. Could listen to her forever.
This performance makes my life. I'm so obsessed with it. Jessie's vocals are fire. Sham's arrangements are beautiful. Like #acagoals
It was super hard for me to get used to Sam being gone, and now Jimmy, Jessie, and Isaac are leaving the Nor'easter Nest😩😭😭😭😭😭🎤
That was out of this world!! Please consider performing Pin Drop someday. It'd be another incredibly passionate and strong rendition!
This never gets old. Jessie you are my queen 👸👸👸👸
I am in shock. I am in awe. There is now a place far above perfection and you guys own it. I have chills and goosebumps. Impeccable. and OMG girl! You freaking owned it!
Jessie killed this! You go girl 👏🏻
This is so good! Jessie's voice is so powerful
This is by far one of my favourite Sia songs, and one of my top all time favourite songs, and was like "It's going to be hard to sing this one." and like I'm pleasantly surprised. 10/10 would recommend.
They would have destroyed ICCA with this, Writing On The Wall and Sorry. Such amazing soloists and pieces of pure emotion.
Shams keeps getting better with each arrangement, I really hope you guys intend on competing this year.
Jessie
Got to work with shams this last summer
He is amazing! Love this arrangement
I just want to know who it was that decided #BONR was a good idea.
I keep reading #BONER
This is the friggin best performance I have ever heard in my entire life!

She's fantastic holy shit

You know what I think? I think a category should be created in the Grammy's for beatboxing, just so that an award can be given to the beatboxers who did such a wonderful job here.
This is one of my favorite songs you all have ever done!
jessie's vocals are something ELSE
Well. I have just discovered your channel. I'm feel now blessed. Seriously, I'm always searching the one video which will make me feel something unique. Here, I re-discover all my favorite videos. Wow, really, thanks.
