Sang this with my women's choir in college. It was my favorite song that season, and it's beauty has stuck with me for years after.

This is absolutely beautiful Melody Myers. Your voice is truly a gift from God. Keep singing as your voice will bring joy to many

[skylarredfors]

This is so beautiful! I absolutely love it! It takes tons of skill to be able to sing an alto 2, and a soprano 1! I sing along with the Soprano 2 and try the soprano 1... You are so talented! Keep singing!

I thought the seal was Gabe the dog at first

This is just ethereal -- I have been lucky enough to sing this twice, and it speaks to my soul...You did an incredible job on this piece.

My choir did this for NYSSMA and competition, and it's such a beautiful piece! I think you killed it!

Beautiful! Your name couldn't be better chosen. Lovely work from the pianist too, and kudos to you also for combining the piano and voice parts so perfectly! I loved the story of the White Seal when I read it, and outright screamed in delight when I discovered that Eric Whitacre had set it to music -- because someone had to, and the setting couldn't be more lovely! Thank you for sharing.

This is beautiful! And the video is nicely done. You don't know how honored I am that you featured my background track in this video. :)

Weren't you the soloist in Eric Whitacre's virtual choir? We watched that video in choir class :)

[medigoomnis]

Oh goodness, I need to read the titles before I just click on your vids...this is too soothing for being overtired on Friday when I still have an hour of work left...hahaha!  My gosh, you harmonize so well with yourself...

[GeneWaddle]

Once again, I bow to your greatness young lady. I've been working on the ttbb version of  this one for about a year now and haven't got it put together yet.

[janeough]

the words to this song are utterly divine

[JulieGaulke]

Beautiful job, Mel! And kudos to Xeno the pianist. Nicely mixed, and beautiful video to watch as well. Aren't baby seals just the cutest??? :D

I am glad you recorded this. I loved singing this piece last year. I would love if you would post the lines separately for people like me who need all the help they can get learning a new piece!

Just to clarify, Mr Whitacre wrote the music. The poem was written by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). Nevertheless, the video is amazing!

[MrBoocakess]

My high school choir sang this song for our graduation and it moved me so much.
You are crazy amazing. I wish I had your talent.. You're so good. I am so envious. Natural beautiful talent with a gorgeous woman. (:

[skylarredfors]

This is honestly heavenly and Gorgeous

[jamesnoel]

My phone speakers do not give this song justice. Your voice as usual is exquisite and you perform this song beautifully.

This is amazing, I love your singing! I want to do something like this, you're my inspiration. I love Whitacre's pieces, they're very soothing. I can literally spend all day listening to you😍❤️
