I was once asked in an essay to describe what 'cohesive community' is in a tangible way. I couldn't answer that until I had seen this video. It shows the power of music to motivate, inspire and remove all barriers to community participation. There was no division, no partisanship and no 'isms'. It was a happy moment, a genuine human moment. Bravo.
The gorgeous lady in the red dress and boots in the front to the right is always my favorite to watch in these videos . Your smile and joy reaches all the way to New Zealand !!!❤
please do NOT forget to say that everyone WHO IS ABLE should stand up...there are people who are NOT able, - they should not have to feel about the fact that they remain seated...thanks!
There are 19 people who really don't see the beauty behind this. Not only is the audience amazing but this video is a perfect example how together we can create amazing things
I love seeing people in the audience with this unexpected grin on their face, like, "Oh wait... I'm having real fun right now?! What is this?!" Thank you C!C!C! for creating this :)
This is fantastic. Love the message and structure of one of the best songs ever written. Just get lost in the moment and sing, such a simple message. CCC should go on forever.
This song is generally considered to be a collaboration between Smith and Bruce Springsteen. One of them started the lyrics, couldn't finish them and passed it along to the other to have a go at it. Both of them do scorching versions of it in concert.
🤔 IMAGINE ☀~ IF this could become 💞A WEEKLY GLOBAL EVENT🌍 at the malls & town squares around the globe ... people setting aside religion & politics ...& coming together ~ uniting & embracing OUR COMMON HUMANITY & leaving the things that divide us - AT HOME.🏡 IMAGE what HEALING that could bring to humanity as a WHOLE & OUR World 🌍❗ ( & the shop keeper & cafes would probably see a bump up in customers too.) It would be SUCH an effective and powerful way to WORK AROUND the politicians & some religions who are trying to divide us & make us hate one another & impose their beliefs onto us - instead of protecting the rights & dignities of human freedom.🕊💞

Exciting! Addictive! I want to wake up to this every morning! The authentic energy and the joy of the choir is as amazing as the transformation of an audience into a choir of 1000 people. And what I see in the eyes of the singers is as moving and as extraordinary as what I hear, which is simply unforgettable!
The one thing in the world everybody can relate to and enjoy doing with each other. Soothing, uplifting, spiritual,......... SING MUSIC, SING SING!!!!!!!

Fantastic! Everyone loves to be included even if they are too self-conscious to sing. You guys are doing a great thing! And now big wonderful groups singing online in virtual choirs, it gives hope for the human race.
With all that is going on in our world today, It makes me even more happy that I made it to your choir in Berkeley last year. So much connection and fun. Bless you Bless you!!!

Human voices united is a power that can change anything, overcome anything, unite everything

They should go to the march in Washington this month for the students of Florida memorial.
Was in the crowd and it was awesome. Imagine if we started each work day like this.
Stunning. Love the conducting! He's conducting with his entire body!
Fantastic energy

You are seeing what an amazing conductor can do. Its why you feel as you do.
🤔 IMAGINE ☀~
IF this could become
💞A WEEKLY GLOBAL EVENT🌍
at the malls & town squares
around the globe ...
people setting aside
religion & politics
...& coming together ~
uniting & embracing
OUR COMMON HUMANITY
& leaving the things that divide us -
AT HOME.🏡
IMAGE what HEALING that
could bring to humanity
as a WHOLE & OUR World 🌍❗
( & the shop keeper & cafes would
probably see a bump up
in customers too.)
It would be SUCH an effective and powerful way to WORK AROUND
the politicians & some religions
who are trying to divide us
& make us hate one another
& impose their beliefs onto us -
instead of protecting the rights
& dignities of human freedom.🕊💞
Finding one of these I hadn't watched is like finding a gold nugget in my Cheerios. Great stuff, and the regulars killed it.
It's a Bruce Springsteen song . He gave it to Patti Smith. Really enjoyed this 🎸
I so want to be a part of this!!!!! It brings tears to my eyes when I sing along from home!
Me, too! The world needs this so much right now!
me, three!! :)
moi aussi j'en rêve
Me too! I live in the Caribbean and I feel like travelling to Canada when I retire just to do this once in my life...sigh
Well, what are you guys waiting for??? GO DO IT!!!!!! You only live once - NOW is the time! Can't wait to hear you all!!!! :D LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH, SING!!!!!!!!

Exciting! Addictive! I want to wake up to this every morning! The authentic energy and the joy of the choir is as amazing as the transformation of an audience into a choir of 1000 people.

Music. Is so uplifting.
La mejor versión que he escuchado
So fun! Music - brings people together.
I love how they got the audience to participate and be part of the choir ❤️
Don't know why, but this performance moved me tremendously. Beautiful work, connecting people and sharing love via music!
Everybody is so energetic, infectious, on point and in tune: choir and audience!
"Now do you believe in rock'n roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?"
I cant sing hardly Springsteen song without moving too much. THis is WONDEFUL!!!
Choir! Choir! Choir! makes me want to move to Toronto... :-)
My life feels empty for not being there for this 😩
Best Ted Talk ever.

Watched this 3 times in a row now. Utterly amazing. Thank you so much.
That was fantastic.
Absolutely one of Springsteen's best songs. He sings it on occasion during his shows but wrote it for Patty Smith.
they wrote it together over the phone
Bless you all. Music is the key...
Holy moly. The best pub choir/ted talk ever. Going to get my local one to do Bruce even if I have to pay them 🤣
Never gets old!
Words can't describe how much I enjoyed this performance by everyone,
This is brilliant! What an awesome team works and the sound rocks!
What JOY!!!
Never seen anything like this... and the song? It's a time capsule from another time. Wishing everyone light, happiness and blessings.
Bruce has just arrived! Save the Boss! Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
With all that is going on in our world today, It makes me even more happy that I made it to your choir in Berkeley last year. So much connection and fun. Bless you Bless you!!!
Such passion and joy!

4:21
[Verse 1]
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to love
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[Verse 2]
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
5:58
???????????
6:12
[Bridge]
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
[Outro]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to love
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
I was at a C!C!C! Event last night and had so much fun! I went alone but met fabulous people! Was so uplifting!!!
