    • @michaelcross6526
      @michaelcross6526 8 років тому +25

      Okay... I've happily listened to June's Diary, since two people said I should. I actually listened to several different videos of them singing. While I think they're really gifted singers, their arrangements of the anthem don't compare. Chords, cadence, even doing this whole song... they are not even in the same ball park. Granted, these are two totally different singing groups, with completely different objectives...I'm not at all comparing or contrasting the groups themselves. Because honestly it's apples and oranges. But as far as Lift Every Voice goes, Committed has this in THE BAG. All the way.

    • @maguffle
      @maguffle 8 років тому +12

      I agree. June's Diary's version is beautiful but this one is spine tingling! While both arrangements are amazing, I prefer the cadence and chord choices this one makes. It doesn't hurt that I'm biased because I sing 2nd tenor down to bass and this version is more in my vocal wheelhouse.

    Played this at our "virtual church" service. In support of the protests against police brutality all over our nation. My heart hurts and this music gives me hope. God bless these amazing musicians who sing from their hearts. Thank you. I know no one has posted anything for over 5 years so I hope someone sees this as a testament to God's grace no matter how bad things get. Thank you "Committed". You have done a beautiful thing.

      I rarely get emotional over things like this but I love this. I only know of this through searching police brutality videos (because I live in the UK and police ain't that bad here) and discovering The Advise Show, who played this at the beginning of a livestream. Through darkness comes beauty is what I'd say about this song.

    I was 6 yrs old when I first heard this song. Not realizing the song was first published in 1942. A black anthem that gave me hope, strength, an outlook to prosper.
    My biblical leader taught on the lyrics of this song. Hearing this song brought me to tears 😪😪😪 because I was so alert at this age to realize my parents were separating and we (my mom, me-6, my brother4 and my sister3, youngest sister 2) were walking to our new rental home after moving out of my grandmothers house-after living with her for a year. It brought me to tears because at this age I loved my black family but more than anything- I loved our Black (Israelites) people. This song gave me a feeling if liberty, joy and love. So, never put it past your child that they don't feel- they just don't know how to put it in words (their actions are their words). Stay in the Blessed Israel. Shalom. APTTMH!
