I'm an African American who's in chamber choir at high school. this was just beautiful. Race doesn't matter when your talking about music. They did amazing. it makes me sad to see people say whether this wasn't black or white who cares this was gorgeous and I cried. They sound very soulful

Everyone in this recording looks so joyful, it's inspired me frequently as we've sung this piece!

I’m in the choir at Texas State University and we got to work with Mr. Craig Hella Johnson on his masterpiece “Considering Mathew Shepard”, specifically “All of Us”. He has such a passionate energy about music and you can really see it in this video. We are now performing this song in our choir & I’m falling in love with it!!

The conductor looks like he's having a lot of fun.

The best recording on YouTube. Clean, joyful, the right sound for this style. You really capture the feel of an old-fashioned revival choir. Took me back to my boyhood. Great singing without being too “artsy” or phony.

This performance gave me shivers. Absolutely beautifully performed!

[jimmyoutlaw]

This song, and this choir in particular, make me truly glad to be a tenor. That's pretty rare, usually I envy those rich bass tones but the tenor part for this song just rings out so beautifully.

[annemarielarsen]

That was beautiful!! Nicely done! I love the location and color scheme! Not to mention all the smiling faces! That made my day!

[logancoryshares]

I think I've listened to this at least 15 times now. I'm going to keep listening to it too. It's just so good.

[humanbeing]

It’s like YouTube knew that my choir was singing this for district auditions and that I loved it ... they recommended it -.-

[darkshadow]

Wow... just... wow. That gave me goosebumps. Love the joy everyone has singing this. Love the joy and emotion that is clear on the conductor's face and his whole being throughout the song. This was amazing to listen to as well as to watch. Thank you.
