VOCES8: The Road Home - Stephen Paulus

VOCES8 performs 'The Road Home' by Stephen Paulus at the Gresham Centre in London.

Tell me, where is the road
I can call my own,
That I left, that I lost
So long ago?
All these years I have wandered,
Oh when will I know
There's a way, there's a road
That will lead me home?

After wind, after rain,
When the dark is done,
As I wake from a dream
In the gold of day,
Through the air there's a calling
From far away,
There's a voice I can hear
That will lead me home.

Rise up, follow me,
Come away, is the call,
With the love in your heart
As the only song;
There is no such beauty
As where you belong;
Rise up, follow me,
I will lead you home.

(Michael Dennis Browne)

The descant in the final verse is spellbindingly good

[vuyosidinile]

We need more music like this in the world.

[hugodalmar]

Genuinely one of the most phenomenal singing groups to ever exist, I dont say that lightly.

[mottledglaze]

each time I hear this it takes my breath away - beyond beautiful, touching a higher reality

My HEART 😭😭

This was my high school choir's theme song, and I'm now in school to become a choir director. Thank you for this.

[johannes]

No autotune, no beatbox. Just beautiful acapella music. Thank you!

[ILoveMagic]

This channel is an oasis of beauty in a world of hate and shallow entertainment.

[noeydeleon]

My god. Never have I heard voices so pure, gentle, and divine. You have once again proven your rightful place among the most elite of the vocal community, as only eight. Bravo! ❤️

[ladyguenevere]

Exquisite and stars in a midnight sky. As comforting as a loved one's arms wrapped around you.

[Pamela-ukyh]

I had never had knowledge of this song until viewing the televised funeral services of President James Earl Carter. This is such a beautiful song with poignant words, lines, verses.
Blessings Mr. Carter as I have a great feeling that you traveled the road to your forever home Expediatly.🙏

Brothers and sisters, I'll put this song in my playlist on my way back to the Lord!

[MrGumby]

I am still trying to find the beauty of where I belong, but until then, I have the beauty of this music.

[junipersprites]

Wow, the timing of this release is absolutely perfect. Today is our high school graduation and every year at the ceremony our choir performs this song, so it clearly has a special place in the hearts of our choir members. What a beautiful performance of this song. Absolutely stunning. And like I said, the same day release just could not be more perfect. Thank you, Voces8 for your gorgeous voices and music!

This song always reminds me of my son and daughter in law on 2020 they had a still born baby girl Lola and we were playing this 😢❤xx

[jaimethomson]

A wondrous talent for the benefit of mankind.

[sunflowerfields]

No matter what they sing, it is always exquisite. Be it Renaissance, 20th century, jazz, pop, it sounds pure and genuine. They sing as one voice and yet each brings something to the group that if it were not there, would change the entire sound.

[tonywatson]

I thank the day that I 'discovered' VOCES8. I have been treated to the very best of A Capella singing since that day. This style of singing has long been my favourite expression, VOCES8 perform it to perfection. Pure joy.

[piernicofe]

questo gruppo, mi fa amare la musica ancora di più

[arinc]

RIP Stephen Paulus. I can’t explain the depth of how you touched, shaped, and changed my soul and life. The same year that you gifted out culture and state with your opera, i met this amazing group. It was almost fate. Thank you.

[skipsdm]

The resonant brush strokes that soprano paints with are incredible.
