School bio:
The Drakensberg Boys Choir School is one of the few South African schools whose fame extends around the world. This school offers a unique educational opportunity for children; it stimulates a boy's spirit of adventure and exploration in the physical surroundings of the school while nurturing the development of the mind and expression in innate musical talent.
I'm 80 years old but you make me feel young again .God Bless you all .xxxx
What a lovely compliment, thank you Jean. They say you are only as old as you feel..🎶💙
Hi Jean ! Are you still alive? And iff so how is life going !🙃
@@juanyt5448 hi .yes I'm ok thanks .miss South Africa and family though .daffodils are out and they are fabulous xx

bass
@@markroberts171 you win the prize 🏆
Legit, sang choir from grade 1 to 12 mostly in boy choirs, Nothing like that bass silently bringing colours to your ears you never knew existed. Almost in tears. Was recruited to the drankensberg boys choir in grade 5 but it was too far so my mother didnt allow me back then, this makes me wish I can harmonise in a choir again. Ive missed it so much.
@@CCVisagie don't give up your dream of singing in a choir...... keep the faith.
Agree. The bass is awesome...and everyone else just works so beautiful with it. Well done
Proudly South African.love you all and the beautiful songs you guys sing.Your parents must be so proud of you all.God bless the you alll.❤
These guys here are an ideal South Africa.
As an old boy, I am so proud of these guys. This is a beautiful finessed rendition. As a bass myself I appreciate that voice, but the other boys are so beautifully balanced and tuned. Well done, fellas!
I preffer this over Ed sheeran singing this sounds better this way
agree
Beautiful, can't stop listening to the song.
Agree
Me too , I love it , 😍 I find it so soothing ,
I always come back to this version. It's amazing
Wow!!! Can't stop listening to this.....Amazing harmonies
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you, everyone! I love this heartwarming performance.
Hauntingly beautiful. Hope Ed Sheeran has seen this!
Wonder what he thinks of this rendition?
Indeed yes!
Vuyo is my brother and all their voices are amazing
Thank you for the kind words.
You must be so proud of him ♥️💙
Stop the clocks, it's amazing
You should see the way the light dances off your head
A million colours of hazel, golden and red
Saturday morning is fading
The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand
My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
The weather outside's changing
The leaves are buried under six inches of white
The radio is playing, Iron & Wine
This is a new dimension
This is a level where we're losing track of time
I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Nothing to be proud of, rape and bullying supreme, wrecking boys lives
Beautiful rendition, and that bass voice is amazing!
Thank you kindly!
Wow! I have not enough words to explain my emotions when listening to this masterpiece . I'm so proud of the Drakensberg Boys Choir

Bass 🙀🙀🙀
One of the highlights of our trip to SA. We had refreshments after the concert and we found all the pupils of this amazing school so refreshing. Courteous, confident, helpful and simply glowing.
Our pleasure!
Stop the clocks it's amazing! That describes this song. Never heard such a beautiful mixture of voices, backed by a bass that shivers the soul.
Amazing. The rendition is even much better than the original song. The bass is so outstanding. Love this song all the way from the Rift Valley in Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪
Hello Owino, thank you for the lovely compliment. Greetings to all our fans and followers in Kenya.
I recently lost my mom , and this song really helps me to cope...Its so soothing
We are so sorry for your loss. Where words are few, may melody bring comfort.
Been playing this on repeat all day. So beautifully done and so proud of these young men from KZN.
Thank you for the kind words Gareth.
BEAUTIFUL! I adore you guys. I am from Bulgaria. I visited the Drakensberg Boys Choir when I was 19, then 28 then 37. For me, it tells the story of South Africa. And it always leaves me with one message - OF HOPE.
Such beautiful clear voices,loved the lyrics...thank you!!Keep singing and blessing us.
Thank you Deborah. The lyrics and original song is by Ed Sheeran. We will certainly try our best to keep going.
What beautiful voices. How amazing are these boys. I love my country. You make us so proud !
What a beautiful voice... What a gift you have my boy! And that bass... Amazing... And the other two voice parts just flows sweetening the song...
Thank you for your support Bennie, glad you enjoyed the arrangement.
I cannot put into words how this rendition made me feel. Simply beautiful!
There is a certain person who walks a straight path in upright standing before God and in him there is hope

@@DBCHOIR beautifully sung, pity about the bullying that goes on and wrecks peoples lives
I first heard of the DBC when I visited friends living in South Africa back in 1998 (My first time visiting Africa). I went to one of the Wednesday concerts at the school and was amazed by the quality of the singing I heard. I was so fortunate to experience the choir again at their farewell concert in Joburg before they went on their tour with the songs from Lion King and the traditional songs from South Africa that year. The quality of the choir has certainly not lessened over the years and although I'm now forced to only enjoy from afar, way up here in cold Denmark, I do so with pleasure every time a new song finds its way to CZcams. Especially when the song, setting and performance is as good as the one in this recording. I thank you all, boys and staff at DBC!
-Teddy

Best choir in the whole south africa
Can't stop listening to this song! Much better than Ed Sheran! WOW!!! May God bless your choir! The world should listen to you. Even Rian from Jacaranda could not get the words when Ed was singing it. But he should listen to you!!! Keep on you are AMAZING!!!
What a lovely compliment, thank you for listening Stephanie.
Magical!
This is magical. I will probably comment on this time and again as I revisit this song.
I was so sad to be a girl in South Africa in my youth as I so longed to be part of this choir. This was decades ago. Still magical to hear these voices though. Ke a leboga
They look sooo happy and touched
Nice Boys, Love the Bass.........Old Drakie 1969
Would love to hear that voice in songs like... With or without you by U2
Unchained melody
All of you love all of you by John Legend
Hi Bennie, let's see what we can do with your requests. Keep an eye on our socials.

What a beautiful version of this Ed Sheeran classic... The bassist's harmony and incredible range really puts it over the top! Count myself so fortunate to have seen one of the Choir's weekly concerts for the first time ever last month... Can say I'm already planning the next one :) Well done boys! Hope to see some more videos soon :)

If you need to go to heaven without dying, then listen to this song...When I first listened to this on Spotify today, I visualized a female singer backed by James Earl Jones ( The actor who says "This is CNN") :) How wrong I was...Goodluck and all the best young Gentleman !
Absolutely love it!!
Glad you like it!
The bass voice and the main voice so freaking beautiful 😻
