- Ronald Smith had his last flight from Chicago to Brussels on August 18th. After the flight the choir of the LGE (Lycée des Garçons d'Esch-sur-Alzette) from Luxembourg decided to sing Viva la Vida to thank him for his duty for the last 32 years at United Airlines. The choir wishes him all the best for his retirement.
Share this as much as possible to show the world how music brings the people together. - Hudba
This is my dad and I wanted to thank each and every one of you for this beautiful gift. He was very touched and so was the whole family. He is a great pilot and and an even better Dad, thank you for doing this for him. I know you have no way of knowing this but Coldplay is one of his favorite bands so you couldn't have chosen a better song. Thank you! ❤️
Lindsay Smith It was a pleasure for us to sing this song. We thank your dad for his 32 years in duty and we are happy that he was happy :)
Truly lovely!
WOW this is what makes a CHOIR so AMAZING!!!
@Lindsey Smith Hello fellow Lindsey
A very special gift. Such amazing voices.
This is what you call a true youtuber still hearting comments after 2 years
Yep
Yes, yes it is
yes ofc
Skritzz YT OMG AWEEE IKR
Yes but please remove your channel it spreads canser
This DEEP voice ....
johan demazy Thank you, that’s partly my voice ;)
Nicolas Elsen always good to respect fellow basses
johan demazy i was cracking up and crying at the same time
It helps harmonize it
Basses should always be appreciated, they help add layers and beauty
so the news literally show us deaths, hurricanes, awful things, but they cant show us such sweet souls to give us faith??
Nahhh, this is morning talk show material. News just likes to show us death before we end our day
Then just get off the news. That's exactly why CZcams is here.
The news in my country show besides crimes and etc, news about cute animals or events like this.
Boo Nope. The media focuses on dividing us racially, spiritually, and religiously. And some idiots are dumb enough to feed into it.
@@nesquick9681 nope, the media reports the problems that affect a large part of the population aswell as general topics that are most important (atleast if you are talking about credible media). Whilst this video is very cute and sparks joy, it is close to irrelevant for most people.
Is it just me or did a bunch of people randomly get this recommended?
Edit: Lovely video by the way 💚
Onyx Lov me and I’m not mad about it
Me! Not complaining, though!
Haha yep! No problem at all
youtube knows we need some good in the world
I did❤️
Why don’t they report this stuff on the news instead?!
Nicole Shirley i know right!! The news needs more wholesome content lol
Morning news, most likely local news too.
Frls they put bad stuff about airplanes but let’s get some happy stuff in there too
So Dum Its Too Little To Be It Idk So muD Cuz Idk
Nicole Shirley I’m surprised it wasn’t
Nobody:
Theatre kids in the hallways:
Cez truest shit ever
Im in music class and we sing acapella everyday at hallways, classes, etc
Haha for me it’s just ‘choir girls’. ‘Theatre kids’ is so American lmao
As a theater kid, I can confirm this statement
in the locker room theater kids are singing and it's rlly bad :(
Nobody:
Choirs: singing literally everywhere
Used to sing in a choir. Can definitely confirm.
We like it that way
nkiss did you see the video of the choir singing in one of those farm seed things (they are hollow and I think they hold seeds)
Used to sing in a choir. I miss doing that, I loved it.
Absolutely true
He was Smiling through out the entire song. 💖🙆
zakithi dlomo i think he was locked in that position
Tbh what else should you do?
I downloaded this a Capella so i could listen to it as an audio because i love it so much
That deep voice though
Thanks guys for this many likes!😁😁
Chapmen Ong Thank you ;)
Ikr damn 😍

Nicolas Elsen ah! A fellow bass
*plane starts shaking*
Girl: wait who’s flying the plane?

@NimbuX r/woooosh
@NimbuX Shiz i didn't see the sarcasm in the sentence. Sorry im just really tired. 😅
@NimbuX okay. Thanks for pointing it out.
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
CZcams: let’s recommend this video for him.
Stfu Abdul
nobody wants you make a comment
Can somebody explain my this nobody literally nobody to me
3bdul78 shut up thank you
That is so old and dead, stfu
When you’re a baritone and wish you had a bass range :(
When you're an alto and have a 3 octave (C3-E6) range, but still wish you could add baritone/bass to it...
•quirks an eyebrow• Lol, you think I'm joking? XD
Conrad coco Manila Luzon ♡♡♡
I'm 5ft 4in and have a range from E2 to E4. I'm only in band not, choir so that's why its so small, but so am I haha
When you cant sing af and sont know all these terms but wishes you were talented like that :(
@@Legbookformer does your length affect your voice? xD
Who decided to get a choir to sing for the retiring pilot? Good choir!
They were probs going on a trip and the teacher heard about the pilot retiring and told them to sing. I'm in choir at my school and that's what are teacher would have done with us
Cynthia Arons NO I AM 999 ITS SO ANOYING
Cifix : 🥴🤔 Sorry, what do you mean?
Cynthia Arons like
Cifix : Thank you for taking the time to explain.
This flight:
My flights: this but instead of singing, babies screaming
Wealthy ugh so true
Literally 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Imagine all the babies standing in a circle like them and screaming to this song
I'll be honest..
I'm crying, his smile, the beautiful singing, everything. I hope one day my choir will be this good..
Were you honest about your choir not being too good or about their singing?
@@AliOpridai About their singing, our choir is good, but not that good!
As a choir member, I also cried. I think my choir's okay, but can we reach hearts like this one? I don't think so.
why dont my plane flights do this? :(
Cuz you aren't in a choir? Heh....
Wlodek Zhelnov ikr
@tom lewis nah brother. do u?
They gonna crash
When the seatbelt sign turns on
OMG when the sir started talking I was like what he's voice sounded so young
billie ilish omg SAME hahahaha
He sounds like the military pilots in movies
Song name what
Ikr omfg

dude i swear choirs sound so angelic when they aren't under 12 years old
edit... so im kind of getting hate, and it may be just my school but im in choir and im 12 years old right now and the people a grade above me sound way better so maybe its just me and other people, but if it isn't the same for you... then maybe don't reply?
Lol
It is because you can be selective. You don't need allow or force every screeching hellspawn to sing.
@@TheJttv wdym selective? im legit in choir and 12 years old
@@ava-fx6ml I think Jttv meant they specifically select certain talented adults who've audition compared to an average school aged choir where everyone there wasn't trained or talented and they were just thrown in there because they were interested/it was an easy way to get out of class. I was also in choir and very few people were serious about it and it was so bad lol
PODOFILE
1:58: Thaaank you so m... oh here we go again.
IM DEAD THIS IS SOOO UNDERRATED 😂
Hahahahahhahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
1:10 had me dead 😂 but this was really beautiful!!
Emma Slaby XD
When you see your parents at the concert but you only have .1 seconds to say hi without anyone noticing
lmao
😌🤪😌
Play it at 1.25x speed for a pleasant "normal" speed if your struggling with the pace
lauren minton 1.5x works too
Help a lot
Sounds so much better too.
That helps
The arrangement they are singing is supposed to be sung this slow. Its slower than the original but they are singing it properly for the choral arrangement
"deep voice"
Me: well I guess I'm in love now
CZcams: Hey wanna watch some kids sing for a pilot?
Me: No, but actually yes.
Capt. Ron Smith is one of the kindest and most wonderful guys I know. This amazing group of kids couldn't have selected a better man to honor with their beautiful music. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words Jacqueline 😌
Nicolas Elsen bass de lëtzebuerger
Jo ech si Letzbuerger :) hun mattgesongen mee et geseit een mech net well ech gefilmt hunn :)
Nicolas Elsen ah ok
U know him?
By the look on his face ,he was overcome, thank you for ur service,
This is the sweetest thing everyone that did this for him are absolute angels
My United Pilot husband lost his battle with cancer a few months ago shy of retirement…this is a beautiful tribute to all of those Captains that don’t make it to Retirement!! Thank you for loving on the United Family ❤
Is this song vida la vida by Coldplay?
Chapmen Ong Yes it’s Viva la Vida by Coldplay, but a slower version of it :)
No it is darude sandstorm
Tómas Lynch lmao
Chapmen Ong yep
Chapmen Ong ye
This guy been flying with United from the 80’s/90’s
Imagine a 4-minute long “Happy Birthday”
BIG SHOUTOUT TO BASSES AND ALTOS! I always say this on every school choir video, but goddamnit basses and altos are so underrated. Thanks for continuously working, even if no one in the music industry pays attention to y’all 😭
They really are. They give a foundation and a richness to the music that only the high voices just don't have.
I think I have a problem when I thought of Fallen Kingdom before Viva la Vida.
Same honestly
problem? my friend that is no bad thing
Is it not fallen kingdom
HyperLuigi OMG ME TOO
same omg
Whenever I record myself sing, I sound terrible. Great job lol
i think i read somewhere that that's how you actually sound to other people. and that you only hate it because it sounds different to what you usually hear
The guy who’s recording’s voice is so good.
OMG if I was him I wouldn’t know what to do with myself and I’d just stand there looking awkward as hell 😂
I feel ya bro😂
Possibly Me It‘s like that moment in school when it‘s your birthday and they start singing
@@nellll2710 That never happened to me 😂
xx xx omg yes😂😂😂
@@nellll2710 Aww that happened to me. It was really awkward 😂
What a touching tribute. He must be a fantastic man to deserve this recognition.
This was so touching and beautiful. I still wonder, how he could manage not to cry, as i got really emotional on this. Many thanks to you young people for paying tribute to the pilot's hard work over the last decades! I sincerely wish him that his well-deserved retirement lasts many more years and that he can enjoy this time with his family.
I think I saw some tears
That deep voice was so soothing like ok sing me to sleep???
This is incredible. Their pitches and tone control is perfect. WOW WOW WOW
No, I'm not crying at all.. Amazing voices ♥
The recorders harmonies are AMAZING!!!! 😍
It could be mor emotional without that mobile phones and cameras everywhere
But it's nice
Beáta Nekorancová I think some of it was the choir members reminding themselves of the lyrics. Cut them some slack!
Beáta Nekorancová 😂
Well I guess without the camera and mobile phones, we wouldn’t really be able to see this
This man seems like such a genuine person. You guys sound great!
These young kids GIVE ME HOPE IN OUR FUTURE. Not only did they give this wonderful man a retirement send off he will never forget but they just showed pure admiration and respect to an elder without throwing a complete fit. I can tell they didn't throw a fit because they are all still smiling and having fun. Good kids. There is hope for this world.
I learned this arrangement in my a cappella group, and I must say well done. What a powerful song...
When i see this i get hope that the erarth will be a better place
Dont know why it was recommended but Im glad it was
Wow! 32 years of service and beautiful sarenade to close it all out.
Try listening on 1.25 or 1.5 and it sounds so much better, and alot more like the original in my opinion...enjoy
It's much more melancholy when slower.
once again the youtube algorithm has brought us together as brother and sisters
consider how good they sound singing this in an airplane, with no vocal warm-up, and recorded on what is likely a cell phone
Hello from Canada. SUCH GRACE AND DIGNITY! What a blessing that beautiful souls such as these are amongst the next generation. Well done!
If your wondering what the song is its Viva La Vida by Coldplay
Beautiful 😍😂😘i love this song
Greets from Germany🇩🇪
Yo
ich dachte ich wäre die einzige😉🙈
Omg! Ich habe den gerade gehört, als ich auf das Video geklickt habe 😱😂😂😂
@@Charlotte-gl9dg ja das Lied ist so schön 😂😍😘
It’s just little things like this that can make such a bit difference to someone’s life. Now that man knows how appreciated he is for doing 32 years of hard work for all us people. 👍🏽
Not even the first note cames out of their mouths and I'm bawling my eyes out and also that's the beautifulest thing I've ever heard wow!
Oh bless him I’m surprised he didn’t cry I would have if that was my last flight I bet he taught a lot of other pilots to be like him I wish I could have had a flight with him that really touched my heart
He did though I think he shed a tear at 3:25
CZcams: *recommends this *
Me: I don’t know why but I’ll try it
Me after:
It makes me sad that it's his final flight, it really is hard to say goodbye to something you love.
Very peculiar arrangement but a lovely gesture.
Wow, that was so emotional. When I retire from being a pilot (which will not be any time soon), I would love to have something like this!
1:09 was so funny!
I expect this on my last day of being an uber driver
AHHHHHH WHO AUTOMATICALLY SANG THE MINECRAFT PARODY
That was just... beautiful. I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you youtube algorithm 😅❤
I thought they were singing fallen kingdom
ZombieProdigy25 LMAOOO it is the original song though.
LOL
It’s fallen kingdom, just different lyrics lmao😂😂
@@joyride6903 this is Viva La Vida by Coldplay
@@gzd5303 No this is Patrick
I’m making this a calendar.
Who else is here in 2019?
This got recommended to me after all this time it’s been up. I love that everyone sounds so good and it makes me smile. You guys made the pilot wipe a tear from his eye. Keep it up 👍
This deserves way more views!!
TheAcronc It's on trending in Luxembourg so it might get more views but thank you for the lovely comment :D
So sweet, so kind . Thank you Sir for your service.
This is soooo beautiful he was smiling threw the whole song 😭😭😍😩❤️❤️😭
I just listened to viva la vida
And now i get this suggestion
I watch it and its again viva la vida
Good luck in your retirement sir
beautiful , respect for 32 years of service good luck captain
The pilot looks so happy awwww 🥺
The captian is such a old and cute man
These are the moment that shows, humanity still exists in the world. Loved the song, the Pilot looks so smart and joyful. Loved every bit of the performance 😊
The intonation of the men's voices sometimes isn't that good. But their tone is really nice!!
These are the people we need in this world. And things that make people’s days may everyone of you angels be blessed.
What a legend still hearing comments after 2 whole years❤😱❤😂👏👏👏
So THATS why my plane was delayed
I was getting teary eyed until this moment lol 1:10 😂
Thank you😂😂
I cried while watching this even though it was two years ago 😭😭😭
One thing you’re taught in life, is that EVERY GOOD THING COMES TO AN END.... but, it’s still so sad. But, in a bittersweet way. Thank goodness for memories. ❤️
I was 2 years late for this video, this is amazing, tears in my eyes, especially for the guy that holds the camera, harmonically perfect, happy retirement folks
Coldplay is my favorite band and I love this even more
SAME.
That is one powerful bass. What a beast!
That captain must have felt like the most blessed man ever😭 so sweet
1:12 though. Me everytime 🤣. It so beautiful!!
Omg man sieht richtig seine Freude in seinen Augen 😍
So that’s why my flight is always late
See dad loved this thank you lovely kids he will never forget it Xx 😊
Omg I love Viva La Vida imma cry nope eyes are already sweating
*_I USED TO RULE THE WORLD_*
LMAO
C'est un très touchant et merveilleux cadeau !
Monsieur le pilote, Excellente retraite sur terre 💖
I’m so glad that the guy recording had a low voice
I used to rule the world....
chunks would load when i gave the-
oh im in the wrong place!
😂
Beautifully sung.
Enjoy your retirement.
3.27 this was my favorite scene. The pilot dropped a tear an the first girl on the left saw it an released a pretty cute smile because she realised he was touched with emotion.
That guy is so sweet! The song sounds great too.
