Only Boys Aloud - You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen

- Опубліковано 4 сер 2019
- Only Boys Aloud (OBA), part of The Aloud Charity, runs year-round with a mission to engage teenage boys across Wales with the power of choral singing and, through this, promote self-belief, confidence, encourage aspiration, build skills and develop communities.
Through weekly OBA rehearsals, we engage with around 200 boys each week across Wales. In locations which cover some of the most deprived areas in Wales, the OBA choirs are free to join and there are no auditions to take part, making the scheme fully inclusive and accessible. This means that each rehearsal is a ‘melting pot’ of boys from completely different social and economic backgrounds who come together, form new friendships and discover what opportunities there are out there for them.

1:35 That kid could start a professional singing career today. He's got some serious chops. Loads of really excellent singers here but that guy is a standout.
Joe Henderson and 3:50
There's something in the water in Wales I'm sure, such a history of singing that they have.
couldn't agree more! Stands out a mile. Superb tone and control!
He also appears again at 4:14 in a different shirt in the back row. If you hadn't noticed, so he's not always the 'one in front', which is a refreshingly nice tactic.
Agree!
1:21 beautiful tenor.
I agree. He's very talented.
Thank you x
yep. i totally loved his part.
3:52 Oh my...
Carrying on the tradition of Welsh choirs. Well done!
What tradition?
ZachJ367 Welsh male voice choirs as a tradition go back to the 1800s. It’s one reason Wales is known as the “Land of Song.”

3:52 - I thought the same thing. Just wow!
What does 3:52 specifically have to do with it? I thought that was the whole video.
Two separate comments. Sorry for the confusion.
All of these guys were good. Each one had their own voice, their own style of singing. But the singer at 1:35 was my fave as well as the young man at 3:48!
The boy at 3:48 is one of my favorites! Also the one right after him has a perfect voice at his age, and should be able to work with it nicely in the future!
3.48 is amazing!! I was so shocked and happy to hear that voice!
3:52 so no one is gonna talk about this child hE’S JUST SO TALENTED LOOK AT HIM
He's so talented and confident you can just tell!
Impeccable control
THEY ARE ALL TALENTED . . , .
@@Dixiebrit1865 yeah but he’s obviously has more experience than the others aha
I meant the other kids his age ofc not the older ones
To qoute my choir director the first day of high school " in this room ( the choir room ) and this building ( the music building ) you are safe this is your safe haven " i found in my darkest times i find myself in the small practice cubicals and some how he knew. He come find me and talk to me. When I was on field trips often alone he sit with me . He was more than my director or mentor he was a friend and a part of my family. Mr.Rayes found me when i was still in a bad place.
The Road to Cosplay and Comic Con I’m sorry to be that one person but.... does this Mr. Rayes like hot pockets?
Also that sounds like an awesome choir director I wish I had someone like that
The Road to Cosplay and Comic Con I am SO. GLAD. that you found yourself. . .i love this song, not for me, but my baby brother. . .this was his high school experience. He died 30 years ago of a brain tumor from ARC but I still miss him and wish we had implemented some of our anti-bullying measures in school decades before they were recognized as being needed. Sorry. . .sometimes I get maudlin on New Year’s Day as it is a time for reflection.
You just made my cry, a happy one but also one of sadness. My years in school choir was one of my major sources of joy. There's something about being in the presence of others and using our voices to make something beautiful. It gives me chills just thinking about it. My eighth grade choir teacher saved my life in 1990 when I was outed by my first love. We got caught making out and he convinced everyone that u forced it on him and I was beat, humiliated and tortured for months before I decided to hang myself. Mrs Pat Gunning of Garry Middle School in Spokane Washington did the simplest and best thing she couldn't ever done and asked me if I liked to sing. I was so lost and scared and this was in the middle of the AIDS crisis and teenager's can be so cruel. Her asking me to stay after class and sing with her stopped me from going home and hanging myself. I had everything ready and had just wanted to see him one last time because even through all of that I still loved him and I didn't want to die but seeing his face one last time. Her getting me to sing opened up something in me, I found the voice I didn't know I had and it gave me a reason to stay alive. Singing with those weirdos and freaks and preppies and geeks were some of the best times if my young life. I don't even know what this song is from but it touched me in a place I thought was long past dead.
@@MrJasonshores364 i hope that now you are able to live your true life.. but not just live it... i hope you love it!!! xx
This song, the fabulous individual singers, the powerful voices of the choir, it’s so moving. Crying.
1: 21 LIKE THAT VOICE AND THE WAY HE SANG CALM AND CHILL
Ion Zezpaztra Kenat Agreed!
💖
SAME I LOVE IT
I would say hes my favorite out of all of them
Definitely
1:21 :D
Why is no one talking about 3:46 that guys voice just made me happy
Barnidadino ;3 I was just about to comment that!
Seriously though! Who is this kid??? What’s his name?! His voice is unreal!
The same here!
Bro same! Hes really cute tho
@@cosmiceunoia799 Yeah, I totally agree ;)
1:35 my fav voice out of the bunch of eqully talented guys
The first soloist legit looked like he was 5 seconds from crying
toby midnight Which made me absolutely start sobbing.
No kidding! It was so sweet though!
No kidding. I'm not crying, you're crying!
I cry EVERYTIME I watch it.... Nothing Wrong With That
I believe director Tim educates singers when learning a new song; you have to understand the words you are singing. This very talented guy feels, and is expressing the sadness of someone who is extremely lonely and sad. He feels their pain. It is this type of talent that not just makes him a wonderful singer but also someone who could make it in acting/Broadway. I believe another factor is that most people don't see "boys/men" showing this type of emotion. Bravo for him and his great sound.
This guy from 1:09 o.o His voice is amazing. I just love it.
The guy at 1:00 had such a pleasing bass to his voice
0:56 is phenomenal!! 👍🏻👍🏻✨
I appreciate how they are allowed to express themselves, not made to wear a uniform. I would have liked that as a boy.
oaim50 lol just go to America 😂😂
America man
There isn’t much of a difference
Just don’t go to a private school
I wore a classic uniform (shirt and tie, black leather shoes, you know the deal) in my primary school and had free dress code in my secondary school. I'll tell you it's not a big deal. Maybe it's fun the first month, but the other 7 years you don't even remember it.
With Dear Evan Hansen coming to the West End soon hopefully one of these boys may get the chance to play him one day, the boy at 4:27 would be great!
3:05 theres me im the one with the black t shirt and wite writing :-)
Tara Thomas I’m the one behind the guy singing the solo on the right as u look at it.
Who is the kid at 3:52 his voice puts me in tears
Tara is that your first name?
Ok... Honesty here. I started this video thinking "ho hum. Another choir". Now I'm sitting here completely choked up. You have a new fan! That was amazing!!
Only Boys Aloud, Only Men Aloud carry on the long, long tradition of Welsh men's choirs. An Eisteddfod is the most incredible musical experience in the world equally for those on and off the stage.
I just saw your amazing video. After having lost a student, 15 yr old boy to suicide, your heart felt performance of you will be found from the musical dear Evan Hansen touched me deeply, I wept. This message of no one is alone is so important to today’s youth, they need to know that they are loved, cared for and cherished.
Please, continue to spread your message of hope and love. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Tim Rhys-Evans is the most inspirational conductor I have ever seen. The emotion he finds in singing which he passes on to everyone he works with is truly wonderful. The vocal quality he gets from his singers is a wonder itself. I first saw him conducting Only Men Aloud on the Television and then was able to see them all in concert in Bournemouth. He and all his singers have the power to move me like no-one else has ever done. He has empowered Wales to sing with pride and I am sure his mining forefathers would be so proud. Wales - 'The land of Song'. Thankyou
In light of the recent tragedies here in the US, this song brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy that OBA is thriving. There are some very talented young men in this group. It brings joy to the heart to hear these young men use heir gifts to inspire others. Well Done! We need to hear more from this group..
Are you referring to the wildfires?
This was an absolute treasure to see on Broadway. And yes there were many tears shed
"You Will Be Found" . . . Super Good rendition. What a song choice, What a choir! Thanks from Florida, USA
I heard the first 3 piano chords and started crying
3:48 YES THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TENOR!!!!!!!!! All these boys are incredibly talented
1:21 my favorite solo here be far
3:46 that kid has the most amazing voice I’ve ever heard. Someone please take him to Britain’s Got Talent! Seriously, I’ve listened to him alone a dozen times and am inspired every time.
Me: Man this group is good, how are they ALL this good? *reads they are from Wales* Oh, this makes sense.
Boy in the Michael Jordan T-shirt... OMG! I want to hear him sing everything for the rest of time, that tone wow!
kaarin swan His voice is great!
Seriously.
3:52 omg this kid is gonna have some good vocals when hes older props to his choir teacher
You get it boy!!
Soloists are amazing. Choir is too. This is better than anything on the radio. Greetings from Cape Town
Elaine Kruger-haye And Johannesburg
Cape Town too! Absolutely brilliant.
Can you pick me up a ultralight phantom 2 from your town?
@@TheBob3269 Sorry
Absolutely outstanding! Carrying on the tradition of our male voice choirs into a new era. Go on bois Bach!
1:50. Hey Ben, hows it going? We sang for the queen together in 2012. Lmao
THE GUY WITH THE JORDAN EVOLVE SHIRT LITERALLY WAS SO GOOD.
MORE videos please! I am a huge fan of OBA for your cause...Love from Ohio, USA!
Also from Ohio, and definitely agree!
New York here. Yes more videos! The guys are brilliant!
Goosebumps!!! Love love seeing teenagers not afraid to sing. Keep on! Absolutely BRILLIANT!
THAT YOUNG BOY AT THE END WAS SO GOOD. IN THE STRIPPED SHIRT OMG
The boys behind at 3:51 were like "oh you better belt bi**h" they missed the first few lyrics.
top buoy seriously? You find fault in light, love and joy? I feel sorry for you.
@@ginacardosi879 He's not finding fault. He's saying that the boy at 3:51 didn't take any prisoners and just belted that line so well that the boys around him were distracted. I would have been too. I got suddenly choked up at that point too. All these changed voices and then that little honey came in. Rock on, little man.
the first boy! his voice is so musical theatre ready!
Those Tenors give me goosebumps every time!! 😍
So many good voices in such a small country. Well done all.
My eye are in tears whenever I listen to these wonderful young men sing!
The soloist from the Caernarfan group will be a phenomenal singer. He is really great now, but his adult voice will be even better
Fabulous rendition, Only Boys Aloud! My Welsh ethnicity 54% DNA heart swelled with pride and joy!
Greetings from Australia.
Thank you to every voice in this. You've been heard.
It's been a horrific week here in the States...this video gives my heavy heart an uplift..tear to eye and smile to my face..I was a young man hiding my true sexual orientation identity in my primary & secondary school years..took me til age 39 " To Be Found"...28 years ago...Bravo Men
They continue to be one of the greatest choirs in the world.
Please do post more often... All the love from the Philippines...
Whats not to love about these young gentlemen. Tremendously thundering voice balanced with sweet melodic tones. I found it cheerful and tearful... if emotion has a face it is smiling.
Cheers boys! All of you!
I am DAVID FRYER
Just stumbled across this as we close out week 3 of our shelter in place order in Washington, DC.
First off, it was lovely to see so many young men singing. You don't often find men's choirs in schools in the US.....rampant macho attitudes, what a bore. It was heartening to see so many with such a diversity of age, range, talent....you name it.
Secondly, this is a sensitive song, and not once did it seem that any of the young men were taking it in a joking manner....also something that would happen in the US. Each of you took your part seriously and put your heart into it - that was evident on the video.
The arrangement was beautiful, with all the different choirs having their own sound.
But the end of the arrangement was chill inducing!! The harmonies were SEAMLESS and ethereal!
Outstanding work!
Only Boys Aloud is one of the great things on this planet!
Absolutely wonderful! I hope you young men realize what true joy you bring into this world. Thank you for being who you are.
O where would we be in this world without music and the gift of singing. Thank goodness you guys are there to give us this great pleasure in life !
The first soloist and the solo at 1:23 just killed me. Such a great job to all
Wow Wow Wow... what amazing young men, what amazing voices and what amazing hearts. Here's to those that support and organize these groups as well. Together we are so strong... so powerful. Here is Love to you all from Kentucky, USA!! Blessings to you all!!
I'm Welsh, in Australia and in tears! Fabulous and so uplifting, so proud of my country. So much talent. Keep it up.
This beautiful performance touched me deeply. Your talent is simply awesome. With thanks and greetings from Luxembourg. 😉👍
Great boys, you touched my heart and Soul. Bravo! Greetings from Berlin
Both choir and soloists are great. What a wealth of talent for the conductors to work with!
It's a strange thing to see so many extraordinary voices coming from a single place. Must be something in the water...
3:45 where was he the rest of the vid
So glad to see some videos again. Great job Tim and boys, keep up the good work.
You must be so proud of what you have captured here. Major lump in throat moment. Thank you so much from St. Croix, US Virgin Islands!
Brilliant performance lads! The work the you and OBA does is simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Kudos and Greetings from Atlanta, GA USA!
If you have ever wondered what a psalm sounds like when it is sung by Levites...Here it is! Pure spiritual beauty. Thank you OBA!
These guys always bring tears to my eyes!
From across the water... Thank you. OBAloud shows that there is still hope for our young men of the world. Keep it up. And by the way. Thank You.
so good I could listen to them all day
The ending was the best part. Usually the singing stops after the last you will be found but then they surprised me with a last harmony. That was amazing
So many beautiful voices, something that will always make me proud to be welsh. Don’t ever stop singing boys
what a privilege to listen to this, and what a great organization that's elevating these young men
I shared this video on my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and on my website that I maintain for educators. In every facet of life, we encounter challenges that can overwhelm us. For many of today's youth, this situation can feel like he or she is drowning and fighting for survival. This video can serve as a sign of hope and he or she can rise above these negative feelings and face life stronger.
Sitting here, 42 years old and bawling my eyes out. My thirteen year old self would've been thrilled to find so many other guys that sang. Choir in my school years there was hardly ever enough guys. Singing has always been my happy place and being around others making beautiful sounds together ALWAYS gives me chills. Thank you.
WOW!! Now that's impressive. All Great Voices coming together!! Thanks, guys!!!
My heart!! 😍 Gorgeous young men, with voices like angels 😍😍 APPROVED BOYS!!
Terrific arrangement of a perfect song for this group! It is great to see the individual groups that make up OBA. This is an excellent addition to the OBA catalog. Bravo!
Pj ? Bbnu
This is amazing! Goosebumps! You gave me a lump in my throat! Great job! Been a fan of the group since I can't remember when. 👍
I end almost every day watching your videos or listening to your CD … it's such a wonderful, inspirational way to end the day … THANK YOU!
Fantastic voices on each and everyone of those young men!!
Absolutely love that you've told where each group is from! All of them, together, are truly powerful - excellent talent & a wonderful positive message - great song choice for OBA!
The gift obviously inherited from the Welsh gene/cultural pool. What a blessing to the world. Thank you young men.
Absolutely brilliant......goosebumps from head to toe, love Only Boys Aloud ....Sydney Australia ❤
I love this video! I only watched like 10 seconds in the middle just now, but I was almost crying. These kids all did such an incredible job. The whole thing is very powerful!

Well done. All the different singers gave so much meaning to the song.
I've loved these guys since I stumbled upon their BGT audition back in 2012. Such a great organization and beautiful talent! Don't stop singing y'all!

Like sunshine through the darkest cloud ! what an amazing effort. !
Absolutely magnificent!
