If you look at your life, it's a carousel. Once down, then up. Good and bad, but this is life !! You are lucky to find someone with whom you can experience this. So watch out for it. I really liked the processing.
Sonny-pure magic. I was captivated the entire time and actually forgot about all the craziness in the world. Thank you for sharing your talents, especially during these hard times. ❤️❤️❤️
So happy to read that my recording was able to take you away from it all, even if it was just for a few minutes. Thanks so much for the appreciation. ❤️
Amazing as always, Sonny! I like the lower range of this one. I sang this in Men’s Glee Club in college, back in the late 80s. I’ve always liked this song.
Awesome! I actually never really loved this one. Probably because it has become a soccer anthem. So it kind of lost all meaning for me. But in these times I started listening to the original again and found this great arrangement by Kohl Kitzmiller and I was hooked :D
Yes, this fits PERFECTLY into "the spirit of these difficult times." Thank you so much, Sonny, for sharing your talents and your years of vocal work so freely -- I needed this song today. [It DELIGHTS me to note how many subscribers you have!]
The amount of subscribers is all very relative, so I do my best not to get to involved in that. I picked the wrong genre and style of videos to get a huge amount, so I'm very happy with what's been thrown at me :). Thanks so much for the kind words. It really means a lot. I put off recording this tune for a long time, because the fact that it's become a huge soccer anthem really took the beauty out of it for me. But hearing it on the radio a few times in a week's time (because of Corona) the beauty and strong message really hit me. So I needed to record it :).
That tag is 100% the reason why I chose this arrangement. It's just a little masterpiece in itself. It totally blew me away when I first heard it! Kohl Kitzmiller is a beast!
Sonny, how do you do that? You make each one of you sound different--I don't even know how to describe it. I've noticed and commented on this before, but this song showcases solos from different voices, and when a new one comes in, it does NOT sound like the same person singing in a different register. Each voice has a different color. I give up; I can't describe what I mean. But it's amazing.
Hahaha I know exactly what you mean. I do actually give each singer his own personality (be it ever so subtle). So I'm super glad that somebody notices :D. You'll find for instance that the bass has similar facial expressions on every video which differ in just tiny amounts from the lead for instance. It came rather naturally. Apparently for me the bass is the composed cool guy and lead the demonstrative drama queen. Speaking from experience about those leads ☺️
@@sgtsonny I've mentioned before about noticing the different personalities, but I was mainly thinking of facial expressions and other body language. On this video I was more aware of the audio aspect rather than the visual--or, I should say, in addition to the visual. (Yeah, as a contralto, I have some experience with lead singers, too. Especially annoying when they can't read music because they've always sung melody.) Do you have a description of the other two personalities? When you record, do you think about getting into character before you start, or does it just come naturally?
Haha I said I spoke from experience, because I used to be a lead in my barbershop quartet :D. But you're absolutely right about those pesky leads ;). The characters come very naturally, it's not like I have a written plan for every character or anything. I don't even think about it. It really just grew on me. I guess they're all subtle stereotypes of the basses, leads, baritones and tenors I've come to know over the years :). The baritone is much like a toned down lead in body language, very much involved in what the lead is conveying. The tenor is a little island on his own. I always picture him as a very proud guy who likes to show off the high notes whilst never overshadowing the lead. He knows he's good, but if you'd compliment him about it, he'd just brush it off as nothing special. You're gonna start thinking I suffer from a multiple personality disorder :D.
Haha het feit dat dit zo'n voetbal anthem is, heeft me eigenlijk lang tegengehouden om het op te nemen. Maar Corona heeft ervoor gezorgd dat ik moest plooien :)

Blessed my ears. Thank you Mr.Sonny!

Beautiful as always, Sonny! As far as difficult times go... this, too, shall pass.

So happy to read that my recording was able to take you away from it all, even if it was just for a few minutes. Thanks so much for the appreciation. ❤️
I needed this. This will be first time not singing at Holy Week and Easter services in almost 20 years. Thank you!
I'm sorry to read that. I'm glad this recording was able sooth the frustration even if it was just for a little while. All the best!
Me too, in a LOT more years than 20!
This is just what we all needed right now. Thank you for sharing your talent and brightening our days Sonny!
Fantastic as always! The tag is unbelievable!
That tag is 100% the reason why I chose this arrangement. It's a little masterpiece in itself! Kohl Kitzmiller is a beast!
I can’t believe my ears! My God that’s so lovely
Co za wspaniałą harmonia jaka perfekcja tego mi potrzeba.Gratulacje cudo.
Sonny that was a masterpiece. Gorgeous harmony. Thank you!!!
Thank you! All credit to the arranger, Kohl Kitzmiller though. He's a genius!

I gotta tell you that’s probably the 10th time I’ve listened to this
I can’t get enough of that tag!
The tag is a slice of heaven, isn't it?
Sonny Vande Putte while I was here might as well watch it again, right?
Still gives me tingles on the back of my neck!
That was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us.
Absolutely beautiful! 🥲🥲🥲🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh my God! That was absolutely amazing! Thank you for posting this.
Fantastic!!
Thank you!!
Your performance is awesome! Thank you Sonny.
Thanks so much!
A calming Thursday night cap for the weary mind. Once again, thanks bunches, Sonny 💗
You're very welcome, Susan! Thank you for the kind words!
❤️beautiful. soothing.
Thank you so much!
Amazing as always Sonny! Never ceases to give me chills on the last few chords. Take care!
Those last chords is exactly what it's all about for me as well. The rest of the song is great, but I just live for those final chords :)
@@sgtsonny I couldn't agree more!!! :)
Outstanding!!!
Wow! Great harmonies in this one. Love it, Sonny!
All credit to the incomparable Kohl Kitzmiller. He's a genius! :)
Love the use of suspensions, also known apagiaturas. Not sure of spelling. Excellent harmonic voice leading, reminiscent of Four Freshman.
Kohl Kitzmiller is an amazing arranger! I've never heard an arrangement of his that didn't leave me looking like this: 😮
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words!
Beautiful Thank You.💙
Fantastic. Love the tag on that one!
The tag is absolutely incredible! Kohl Kitzmiller is the boss!
Blessed your voice and your genius! You make me fly! ❤︎
Thanks so much, man. It really means a lot!
@@sgtsonny "You got a friend in me"!
Some interesting extensions and juicy notes in the tag chords!

Fabulous 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
Sonny never sings alone 😊
Waw! Zo mooi! Jij kent u classics wel he. Nu nog een Liverpool sjaal.

My good friend how 😊
Perfect
Deep meaning. From a Christian View:
Walk (living life)

You Will Never Walk Alone (I will always be with you till the end of time - Jesus.)
One of my favorite songs
The tag👍
That tag is 100% the reason why I chose this arrangement. What an awesome little masterpiece in itself!
Sonny 🤗
😍
This song gets me, I was supposed to sing this as a final number at my senior year choral concert but because of coronavirus that will not happen.
Man, that sucks. I'm sorry to read about that, man. Sing along to this video with you eyes closed and give it everything you got though :D.
Please make one on wildflowers-Tom Petty
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion!
Pjesma je ljepa zvuči harmonično.
Thanks!
Wow what's ending
The ending is exactly why I picked this arrangement to record. What a great tag!!
This was fantastic (but even still, GGMU).
Hahaha I actually had to look up what GGMU means. I should have known :D. Awesome!
JUSTICE FOR THE 97
Nice job! I prefer, however, the original chord structure. It can't be improved upon.
I know what you mean! I feel exactly the same way whenever I listen to a barbershop version of 'When (s)he loved me' by Randy Newman. Thanks for stopping by!
We need better health care.
