    Most popular songs don't translate well when arranged for choral groups. This one, however, is simply breath taking.

    When I first watched it I thought "alright it sounds nice" but then as it got stronger and all the voices came in.. I cried a lot. And every time I watch it, I cry again. It gives me a feeling so pure and just kind of WHOLE.. It gives me hope for everything. Thank you so much for doing it! ❤️

      You know that's funny, because, the first time I've heard "Fix You" by Coldplay, I thought the same. Until the change comes in. I guess that's just part of this song, the progression. All the verses come first, reflecting about problems, things happening, things tearing out your soul, the song starts very focused and reflected, and then comes the powerful message.

      Indeed! Not much of a nine-inch-nails fan, a favorite line about music comes from Trent Reznor (sp?). There is a video "about" Johnny Cash's version of Trent's "Hurt," with Trent sort of shrugging after hearing the audio, but later seeing JC's video and thinking "this isn't my song anymore." Still don't know if he meant it now belongs "to the ages" or to Johnny, but I'd say it's a deep compliment when the world "takes" a writer's song from them.

    It was such an honor to sing under Scott's direction back in high school.. Although it was just for three days, it is still one of the most memorable experiences in my life. He taught me how happy you can be just by singing and you don't have to be good at it. He always told students to keep a smile on when singing which made the singing voices much brighter and peaceful just as this song. I would move to Edmonton just to join Kokopelli and have a chance to sing under his direction again..

    Asking for the arrangement to this masterpiece is like asking a mother to sell off her child. Clearly what we have witnessed here is a labour of love. If you can't see that, no one can help you! What these people have done is opened the gates of heaven ... that feeling you get towards the end ... thats God touching your souls.

    So I grew up singing in the Newfoundland Symphony Youth Choir, and I had the pleasure of hearing Kokopelli a few years ago at Festival 500 when I was attending with Xara from Halifax... and I keep coming back to this video, whenever I'm having a really challenging day. It's stunning, and beautiful, and everything else that's already been said. I wish I could have been in that audience!

    I've been involved with choir for 8 years now. And I've known this specific recording for quite some time now and everytime I watch it, I just can't get over how happy each member looks. Most of the time I'm not sure what it's like to not have a worry in the world, because there's so much of worry in it, but everytime I listen to this and experience the message this song delivers, it takes me to another world without pain or sadness, just the joy of music and it's one of the best feelings I know. I thank you so much for sharing this with us!
