Yes it's true, school ended on Friday, and the PS22 Chorus of 2009 is indeed moving on. But there are still quite a bit more to be revealed from these kids (including an upcoming MTV News spot!). But for now, here are two versions of "Forever Young" by Alphaville. Congratulations to Bahira and April for their beautiful duet, and the chorus for another amazing rendition(s)!
Piano version
(already honored by YouTube as the #79 Top Rated Music Video)
A capella version
Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteSince I watched Viva la vida the first time a few weeks ago, every evening after a hard work day I listen to some of your videos and feel great and calm again.
If more teachers giving kids a chance to express themself in such a beautiful way and the world definitely would be a better place.

ReplyDeleteI love this! These kids are so amazing, every time i hear them. I especially love the A Capella version. It really shows off their voices! Please continue doing what you are doing!
ReplyDeleteAlways a good way to start the morning.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing performance! What a great song for your kids. I love it. I hope the kids know how much we appreciate each of them making up the whole of your chorus!
ReplyDeletethanks angie, i hope so too! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my most favorite songs ever and I simply ADORE this cover of it. You all are simply amazing and an awesome example of all the good arts and music education does to our public schools! I am your fan forever!
ReplyDeletewe like forever fans! thanks kristine.... :)
ReplyDeleteThe children's voices never fail to move and inspire me. Their lovely performances are always a reminder that music is a unifying force for good in this world. From one teacher to another, thank you for teaching your students (and all who hear them) that art is a vehicle for goodness and brings light to an often-dark world. You are a gift.
ReplyDeletewow, thanks jenn! i really appreciate your kindness. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite 80's songs and the cover you kids pulled off is simply amazing. It gave me cold chills. Elementary school would have been so much cooler if we would have had an opportunity to do things like this. Much love and respect from Kentucky. Keep up the good work guys.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteYour cover of 'Forever Young' is absolutely amazing. (Personally, it is my favourite cover on Youtube) We were hoping to use this song for our school's choir competition and it would be great if you could tell us where you got the arrangement from. Thank you.
