This turned “The Rose” into a rich hymn. Stunning, absolutely stunning.

[Andre_Servetus]

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taking
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose

Been listening to The King’s Singers more than 30 years. Many men have passed through the group, but the sound and perfection remains as brilliant as ever.

[tabanjoman]

I've been singing, playing, teaching, directing and listening to music for 75 years and have NEVER heard a more beautiful sound!

[bradjohnson]

Blown away... Plain and simple. Flawless. Such harmonies.. This blows away every version of "The Rose" I've ever heard.

[Donald-jv]

I keep coming back to watching this video because I really love the beautiful voices of these men.

[danmcglaun]

I think those elegant European cathedrals must have been built so that human voices like these could have a worthy place to play. What perfection.

[rickwhite]

My mother and her siblings used to sing like that. Unfortunately, they have all passed away and I miss their beautiful voices every day.
I especially remember my grandmother's funeral when they all stood by her coffin and song so beautifully. I was eight years old, and I started crying because of the incredible song. It was like being in heaven.

[kathwallace]

Thank you to these young men for singing this beautiful song to perfection💫

[sherryleggett]

Wonderful. There is nothing more beautiful than acapella harmony.

[helenjones]

I think this is as close to singing perfection that is possible on earth.

[lockhartstewart]

These mere mortal men, sing like this, bringing tears to this old sinner's eyes, can you even imagine when the angels sing.

[DavidKerley]

This perfection requires not only and exceptional voice but an acute ability to hear the others in the group. Amazing.

[anneyoder]

The is the most beautiful rendition of this song....EVER!!!

[Opusss]

That counter tenor is heavenly. They all are really.

[carolhunter]

The Kings singers gave me my love for accapella music years ago while I was in high school. It’s wonderful to hear the tradition continues ❤ Thanks for sharing! 🎶🎵🎶🎵

[ellencoelho]

These gentlemen have the most beautiful voices. They are a gift from God. Bless them!

[derekjwilcox]

This is an example of perfection in homogeneity - watching the video it was impossible to tell who was singing which voice - simply stunning, thank you all.

[hughkelsey]

Great comments all! Amid praise for the wonderful singers, let's also acknowledge the songwriter/composer, Amanda McBroom, without whom we would not all have been brought here together.

[Donald-jv]

These guys have such beautiful voices, they ought to go on Britain's got talent.
