This never fails... strikes right to the soul I have to listen to both versions, though. Ely Lady Chapel's greater resonance does more for the music, less for the diction. Both weepily wonderful.
Thanks Mary - this was videoed in an available space, in fact where most of the tracks for 'Warm' were recorded. Agree the Chapel had a much greater resonance (hard to beat!) but we also like the honesty of this one - glad you enjoyed
Alfred Lord Tennyson 1889 Crossing The Bar Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea; But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
My family know that I want this playing at my funeral. Not that I plan leaving any time soon😊
Heard these people singing this on Radio 3 tiday! Bloody brilliant! 🙋🙏🕊️🙏👍
Me too - fabulous
I heard it today on radio three too. Amazing
Moved me to tears. Thank you ❤
Thanks lads. Tears to my eyes, balm to my soul. You make me glad to be a man.
I don't know of any other versions of this song, but I do know that this arrangement is beautiful on its own merit. Love a cappella male voices!
Try also Southampton university choir, and St Martin in the Fields choir! Both excellent. Just like these peeps! 👍🙏🕊️🙏🙋🏴🇮🇪
The most moving song of the bury St Edmunds concert. Amid the lunacy, it is good to know that these guys are thoroughly competant and profeshional.

Beautiful
Hugely moving. Tempo perfect for the content.
This never fails to make me cry - it's so very beautiful.
Absolutely heavenly and couldn't help but join in. So calming.
love it. want to sing this with my own choir.
Alfred Lord Tennyson 1889
Crossing The Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea;
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark;
For, though from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
Thanks for the words @anybody
Beautiful.
Lovely, so lovely.
Bully--------------really GREAT JOB Gents. CHEERS sydney , n .s. Canada

awesome guys.
One for my Funeral.
Beautifully sad
Where is credit to Rani Arbo for writing the music?
Noted and corrected - apologies for the omission
The Spookys are not 'professional' - they are 'amateurs' but are very competent! ;-)
In loving memory of George Floyd 🙏
Far too slow .. the song loses its impetus by being dragged out .
this group has a beautiful sound, but their version of rani arbo's gorgeous song just too slow to do it justice.
Too slow. 'Salamander Crossing' did it better. I DO like the a-capella harmony though....
Too slow. Pick up the tempo.
Beautiful.
