    It takes me to tears every time I hear Brian sing this song. I can fully understand why 'good men' can relate to Brian and this song, he does it with so much feeling.

    I'm a trained bass singer and would kill to have his voice! Such tones and power.

      His warmth when he goes up an octave is incredible.
      I love this version. Though I would have kept him a tad louder in the mix with choir. The instrumentation is spot on.

    What a truly beautiful and talented man Brian is. I remember when he had COVID and was still singing this song out the window.

    • @sej35

      Yes he did, to give warmth, hope, and caring to his neighbors who were quarantined because of COVID. . He was battling COVID when he did this. Brian sings Impossible Dream better than anyone I know of, because he feels every word of it.

    One of the greatest of Broadway's stars. Magnificent in Kiss Me Kate, Ragtime and of course Man Of La Mancha. Also one of the most gracious of gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

    Brian Stokes Mitchell slays this song every time! It takes my breath away. I'm not sure if this was a benefit concert in Orlando for the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting? I have loved this man BEFORE I even knew he could sing! Jackpot🎰

    Before the choir started to sing Brian was so far out of time with the orchestra that it was painful to listen to. Once the choir started he was forced to actually sing in time.

    To dream the impossible dream
    To fight the unbeatable foe
    To bear with unbearable sorrow
    To run where the brave dare not go
    To right the unrightable wrong
    To love pure and chaste from afar
    To try when your arms are too weary
    To reach the unreachable star
    This is my quest, to follow that star
    No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
    To fight for the right
    Without question or pause
    To be willing to march
    Into hell for a heavenly cause
    And I know if I'll only be true
    To this glorious quest
    That my heart will lay peaceful and calm
    When I'm laid to my rest
    And the world will be better for this
    That one man scorned and covered with scars
    Still strove with his last ounce of courage
    To reach the unreachable star
    This is my quest, to follow that star
    No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
    To fight for the right
    Without question or pause
    To be willing to march
    Into hell for a heavenly cause
    And I know if I'll only be true
    To this glorious quest
    That my heart will lay peaceful and calm
    When I'm laid to my rest
    And the world will be better for this
    That one man scorned and covered with scars
    Still strove with his last ounce of courage
    To reach the unreachable star
