The thumbnail didn't load and I clicked expecting a video of a really emotional haircut.
Its ALL bald?
Allwais hás been
LOL
Like the homeless dudes getting a fresh trim 😢
Something really subtle that I didn’t notice right away was that his buddy gave him the starting pitch of his next line. You can hear him hum the pitch very quietly. Clutch
I never noticed that either! That's so cool
CAN you give me the time code please
@@deku5696 Sounds like it's at 1:25. Blink with your ears and you'll miss it.
I'm just glad noone started clapping when they stopped singing thinking it was the end of the song
True, there's another version this group has of this song where a few people start reluctantly clapping and then they stop but it's a bit dissatisfying
This was at a Barbershop competition, so 99% of the people there are giga barbershop nerds and would know instantly that wasn't the end/tag.
@@GaninIsMyName Also, anyone who knows anything about Western music theory. Rarely does a song end on a (iirc) ii m7 chord. And even those with no knowledge of music theory or barbershop conventions would likely have seen the emotion going on up there to see that the lead needed a moment to pull himself back together again. (Had he recently lost his father before this performance? This interaction seemed so raw... even more so than subsequent performances of this song by them... Or is he just that amazing an actor/singer?)
He said in an interview that he was just really moved by the song. There's a comment somewhere in this section that says the same thing
As a performer, this sends me to the moon lol
The awesome thing about this is his parents are both still alive. He said he just really felt moved by that particular performance of the song.
lol the song was so moving he started grieving people who were still alive😂😂😂
@@JayMajor727don’t think he was grieving anyone in particular, just really feeling the song
Everytime I hear it I cry too..and my parents are just fine in NC! I just get moved can't wait to meet these fine fine amazing singers one day! Please come to NC or VA!
I’m so amazed at how well he was able to sing while he was so overcome with emotion. Whenever I get emotional I can’t even talk, it’s like my throat is closing up, much less sing and sustain notes like that.
EXACTLY. It impresses me every time people do this
There's songs I can't sing because when I get emotional my throat closes and there goes the song lol
Same here. They tried to get me to sing at my dad's service. It didn't go well.
Two words: adrenaline, perseverance. It's crazy what you can do under pressure. You're capable of things you simply don't think you'd be able to push through until you're forced to squeeze through uncertainty under a spotlight.
I was not expecting that C2 to be so full at the end 😂😯
For real! That's insane for a barbershop bass part!
This bass has such a fat sound in his low register
Dan is an INSANE bass.
Dan is a beast, and the ring he and Daniel have together live is unreal
that was a b1
Aside from the tear-jerking tenor 2 performance, that ending C2 in the bass was just earth-shaking.
correct
Tenor 2s usually are great
Impressive that nobody clapped during the pause, but its even more impressive how his fellow performers realized what was happening and were there for their friend.
they're all supportive and so heartfelt
and so fake

@@kevinjones6577bud okay you believe that
🤡🤡🤡YOUR E FAKE
I was there for this performance. This was the most moving performance I’ve ever seen and experienced
Same. I was there.
What event was this?
Best post on this channel yet.
Not because I like barbershop, but because of how touching and real it is.
:)
Cmon barbershop is nice
Y’know ya did good when the guy at the back of the venue shouts, “YES!”
as soon as he started crying i did too. as a singer too, i could never dream of hitting those notes so clearly without my voice warbling
I wouldn't even be able to make a croak. This was incredibly moving.
My dad took his life a week after I moved out. I know I'll never see him again. This hurts more than you can imagine. What is heaven, without the ones you love?
Brother I hope you're doing all right. 🤝
Why would god punish the ones who suffer most?
You don't know that you'll never see him again. The Lord is merciful and loving, and I am sure that even though he took his own life The Lord would not want him to perish. There is only 1 unforgivable sin, and that is to rebuke The Lord and renounce faith. I think you will see your father again. Have hope. ❤
The C2 at the end is almost the “Father” responding to the son who’s been singing about him throughout the piece.
Beautiful 😭
I LOVE YOUR INTERPRETATION
The song was by Luther vandross, I’d highly recommend listening to it!😁
Brother don't do that to me
This was honestly so wholesome and I really loved the chord at the end with the low C. This made me wanna cry but I held it in. Very well done👌👏
Nothing wrong with crying in the right contexts.
Let it out man !
That's the point of music. Let your emotions run free. No judgement on our end, man!
@@ethandenton3393 Nothing wrong with crying, period.
I think it’s a B, no? But yeah true
Props to him keeping his singing consistent even while crying. It’s so hard to keep singing when your emotions overflow.
They performed this song at a chapter show right after winning, and it also happened to be just a couple of weeks after my paternal grandfather had passed unexpectedly. It was one of the only times I've ever seen my father cry
Jason you can't do this to me on a Tuesday
Watching this in person, I cried so hard. Both my parents are alive, but I was moved so much by the piece. I do not blame Daniel at all for stopping to let it flow.
singing while crying is virtually impossible, how did he do it so well
Now that I know that his parents are okay, I have to say one of the most emotional pieces is...funnily enough...one done by the Newfangled Four. A Cottage For Sale is one of the most emotional barbershop pieces I've ever heard, for anyone who hasn't seen it, go listen to it. It's phenomenal.
Agreed. I always look to the Four to make me smile or make me sing; wasn’t prepared for them to make me cry.
Instant Classic’s “Til I Hear You Sing” is another if it hits right
I love Til I Hear You Sing!! I performed that with a quartet at my school's concert this year, such an incredible arrangement and so fun to do. We didn't do it anywhere near a professional level, but the last few chords locked in super well and that was really exciting and satisfying
@@graciebylermusic Amazingly, this and "Til I Hear You Sing" are arranged by the same person, Theo Hicks, the lead of Instant Classic and one of the best arrangers out there - especially for ballads!
@@Honey_Beef love Theo. The Instant Classic boys are the best
I must have listened to this performance a hundred times and it still hits me in the heart every time,,, when the lead does the “send back” and everyone is silent oh god
0:41 and a punch in your face for not putting a timestamp
I think an overlooked part of this is the tenor giving the lead his note again while comforting him just to make sure lol
I had an allergic reaction to this one ... it made my eyes all watery and gave me the chills.
Definitely made you cry some others cried to so I don't judge
I didn't have a fatherly presence. That was heavy and beautiful.
A lot of emotion.
There isn't anything wrong with crying. The test is what you do after you shed your tears. Moved by the piece, life experience or what not the fact that he continued in tune and on time is amazing to me.
and yet that bass hitting the low note at the end still hits even harder
I can't watch this without crying. What a touching performance.
I saw Signature perform this at the AIC show two days ago: and it was jaw-dropping and emotional. Not a dry eye in the theater.
AHHHHHHH I wish I could've seen it! That sounds amazing
bullshit
@@kevinjones6577 deleted your comment huh?
@@araxshiriau9275 my comment is still here
@@kevinjones6577 wait, then where’d it go..
If that didn’t get a perfect stage presence score nothing will.
Every time I stumble across this clip, I watch it all the way through, and every time it leaves me in tears
My dad lives on the other side of the country and his Parkinson’s is slowly getting worse; he’s still doing pretty alright but sometimes I think about it a little too hard and that gross feelings balls up in my stomach
How fascinating that after Daniel's pause, where he let his emotions run through him, his voice sounds so much more even and controlled. It inadvertently adds another layer of beauty, as if the quartet's ideal sound wasn't reached until that break.
that bass note at the end is so nice
1:00 that is the most heavenly chord i've heard form a barbershop quartet
I listened to this once. Only once, and swore I would never listen to it again. Now that I have, I never will again.
Why would you do that?
@@unobrunoboi1499 The song sacred song.
I cry everytime I hear them perform it, even when it's not in person, and I know full well what to expect. I was privileged to hear it in person at an educational week, shortly before they performed it on the contest stafe for the first time. Full on sobbing, as I think of my mom who introduced me to barbershop as a teenager. She died young of cancer 11 years ago, and I always miss her most when I'm about to perform or watch a performance.
They got me again Friday night.
Iconic. My dad doesn't listen to barbershop, but he listens to this.
That (actually / really) made me cry.
Dad passed away April 22nd 2022. Grew up in Barbershop. Haven’t done since 18 (from UK). This hit different. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss friend. We could use some singers in the Society. As one Tim Waurick said in Charlotte this year in International, "it's the music that pulls us in and it's the friends we make that keep us here." Come and join us
Lost mine in January 22. Even though I grew up with classic rock, barbershop is a style that I’ve grown to love all my own. Deeply beautiful stuff. Hope you’re holding up alright, friend ❤
Mine passed a month after yours, I know that pain. We'll be dancing with them again soon, brother.
Seeing this now and just in case the two weeks pass and I forget, sending you a whole lot of love as that anniversary approaches ❤
bless his heart ❤️
i felt the emotion in his voice 💔
Singing while crying is extremely difficult. I legit can't do it, when I get choked up I literally can't get it out.
That silence was so loud, and so heart wrenching oh my god. Awesome
Someday somewhere she'll be able to dance with her father again.
They already sounded incredible, but I wasn't ready for this. The silence was very loud and they said so much to one another. I had to go back and enjoy this heartfelt performance bc their interaction is enough to soothe your soul.
Felt like a had a lump in my throat, with the emotions that hit me. I cannot imagine being able to get a sound out, nevermind that beautiful line. Powerful performance.
That little drill that happens on the word "Lord" when he's that emotional might be the most fragile and beautiful thing I've heard. Damn. This is how you music.
i did not expect a transcription of one of my favorite barbershop performances today. i am pleasantly surprised.
A UA-cam video has never made me cry until today. Wow.
They performed this for a choir festival I attended, and it was one of my favorite memories of that year. I very much cried
When they came in with the "and this is all I ever dreeeeam"
Goosebumps
Every time I hear Signature do this piece, I cry. They are the most soulful quartet ever to grace the barbershop stage. I love them. They are forever my favorite quartet.
THANK GOODNESS it was silent in the middle
when i was 15 or 16, i had the amazing fortune to sing with these outstanding men, along with the Great Northern Union choir, at bethel university. the event was called something like "sing with our ears." i learned to respect music and musical performance a lot more from Signature, and i feel limitlessly lucky to have had the opportunity to sing with them.
i did in fact shed a tear
This genuinely had me to tears, their singing is so beautiful and I can relate to the message on a very personal level
WOAH insane thing I just noticed is that one of them in the quartet hummed (extremely lightly) his starting notes after he got really intensely emotional...when you're in a quartet you have each other's back at all times no matter what. :O
The choice to use the major four chord at the end, instead of the typical minor four you hear in barbershop music is just perfect.
Especially when paired with the lyrics "again", it ends up souning like a very churchy Amen, which fits perfectly with the lyrics that read like a prayer.
Not to mention just how gorgeous it sounds. This arranger is fucking great. The most beautiful barbershop ending tag Ive ever heard.
0:37 all but the lead cutting out for that line always sends shivers down my spine
this is the only performance to draw me to tears every time i listen.
1:02 that chord just stabs me in the heart every time
Why did this video hit the exact right spot for me to cry on a Friday afternoon
I wish I can hear this whenever I go for a haricut. I would pay 10 times more than the price of the haircut.
Beautiful. Made me cry.
as someone who lost their father at a young age, this song kinda hit me...
at least it felt good :)
love and miss u dad ❤️
I saw them perform this live in February and its unreal how much they hold the attention of the audience. They could have held that rest for 10 minutes and the audience would have stayed right there with them.
beautiful.
This made me cry more than anything in sweet home alabama
Definition of singing from the heart
As somone who has grown up without a father this means alot to me. Just to see him again would be enough
I love this video and the human beings who sang and I don’t know them but they bring me to reality and I am able to connect with my emotions in the most personal way I thank god for those men ❤️
There's something so pure about male voices in 4-part harmony. And then when it's so real and raw like this... Beautiful share, thank you!
Ah, man. My dad just died last month. This was beautiful but I’m very sad now
When you take yourself out with your own vocals...
That low C at the end just hit so hard
That was the most beautiful minor plagal cadence I've ever heard
Glad I’m not the only one that cries to this song. Don’t know Luther could even sing it without crying. One of the most beautiful, heartfelt songs ever.
Dammit man. Tears all down my face right now.
Damn this one just had me crying at work. Thanks a lot, gentlemen.
I lost my dad in 2018.
I'm not crying, you're crying...
@NPC 2428 ..|..('_')..|..
I lost mine this year, at January, covid couldn’t even let him make it to his birthday. So much regret, so much that could’ve been done.
They really had to throw in the iv minor too 🥲
gets me every single time
Minor 4 in a major key is just the best
That C2 at the end wrapped it up perfectly
It's hard not to cry watching this one. Beautiful.
After Signature’s performance of this last night at the AIC show, this is now the 2nd most emotional moment in barbershop history. 💔
AHHHHH I bought tickets to the Livestream but couldn't figure out how to get it working so I couldn't watch!! Hopefully it'll be posted online because that sounds awesome
What did they sing today?
@@1stCZbarbershopper They sang “Think,” “Dance With My Father,” and then finished with “Proud Mary.” They put on a phenomenal set and Daniel was the most emotionally moved during “Dance With My Father” as I had ever seen him. It was raw and beautiful.
Never thought I’d cry to a barbershop quartet UA-cam algorithm suggestion but here we are
Sometimes I think we're all connected in an ethereal way... It almost seems like they were unknowingly feeding off each other's emotions.
You're correct. We are 💯
Crying while singing is generally not great as all the tears go down the back of your throat and turn into flem causing bad intonation and singing in general. But damn, he killed it even with that
This is emotional 😢
I was listening to this while doing something else, not paying too much attention to the lyrics, so I didn't read the title of the song neither did I hear when they said "mother" the first time; that's why when I heard "she's dying to dance with my father again" it hit me like a truck and I sunk down entirely. Dear God. This song was beautiful.
I want to thank you for sharing it and allowing me (with everyone else) to listen to it.
Damn tbh thats one of saddest realizations. One day one of my parents is gonna have to live the rest of their life with their soulmate gone
I lost my dad a couple months back. I was absolutely not ready to hear this song lol
I actually wasn’t expecting to cry during the song but I did.
Never been moved so much that I started crying before hearing this. I first heard this right after me and my girlfriend broke up and I just broke down crying after hearing this for the first time. I just couldn't handle it. I thought I could get by without crying, but seeing that man cry when I already had a tear in my eye is like someone telling me it's okay to cry. I will never forget this performance.
That was incredible. Thanks for posting this with the sheet music
this is the quickest I think I've ever been moved to tears in my entire life 😭
Wow that was rough to watch.. God bless him
I'm just trying to figure out to incorperate this in a "where real men cried"-meme. Holy jenkies, that was moving.
I cried
Bro is sweating BULLETS, he might just be cracking under the sheer weight of it all.
Beautiful
