    My dog passed away today and I thought of this song. Cookie - you will always be remembered. Good night, my angel; you can now rest in peace.

      It’s funny. I got home from the veterinary clinic on Saturday morning after my beautiful dog passed away. I charged up UA-cam and this was the first video on the feed. It’s strangely healing. It’s now very meaningful. 😢

    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 :)!

    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.

    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 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.

      “It is not so much what people suffer that makes the world mysterious; it is rather how much they miss when they suffer. They seem to forget that even as children they made obstacles in their games in order to have something to overcome. Why, then, when they grow into man’s estate, should there not be prizes won by effort and struggle? Cannot the spirit of man rise with adversity as the bird rises against the resistance of the wind? Do not the game fish swim upstream? Must not the chisel cut away the marble to bring out the form? Must not the seed falling to the ground die before it can spring forth into life? Must not grapes be crushed that there may be wine to drink, and wheat ground that there may be bread to eat? Why then cannot pain be made redemption? Why under the alchemy of Divine Love cannot crosses be turned into crucifixes? Why cannot chastisements be regarded as penances? Why cannot we use a cross to become God-like? We cannot become like Him in His Power; we cannot become like Him in His Knowledge. There is only one way we can become like Him, and that is in the way He bore His sorrows and His Cross. And that way was with love. It is love that makes pain bearable.”
      ― Fulton J. Sheen
      Hugs and ❤ to you and your Father

    I wonder if this touches us so much because it's in some way prefiguring the choirs of heaven.

    I simply cannot listen to this too many times!! It was beautiful when Billy Joel first sang it. Such a poignant and bittersweet song of words emulating human love and the inevitable losses we all must endure. Music soothes the soul best. Your voices are close to heaven. Keep singing and soothing those that are blessed to hear. My late husband, Roy would have loved this piece. Music was our love language. Blessings t

    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 :)

      Thomas, your choir probably did perform this really well. It's honestly not fair to compare your choir to this otherworldly ensemble.

    And to think that Billy Joel nearly left this melody as an instrumental midsection to “River of Dreams”. So glad he put this poetry to it, and that this gorgeous arrangement and stunning performance followed.

    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❤️
