no one else sings ballads this beautifully

The jump in the baritone in bars 8 and 9 is the epitome of what it's like to sing baritone.

[clmatis]

that suspension on "away".... musical perfection

[christophjuntgen]

wow last chord is second inversion, sounds really interesting

[drknes]

if your close you eyes you can feel the horizon

[jasonfieler]

Important note about the key I wrote it in:

The original arrangement (the version on Instant Classic's album) is in Db major (linked below) but this version, which is live, drifted down closer to C. I decided to write it in Db anyway because it shouldn't matter for anyone who doesn't have perfect pitch, and this just makes it all easier for people to sing along in the original key of the song. Hope that makes sense :)

[MarkarthCityGuard]

The undertone Db at the end is just crazy

[CameronMLeet]

I like it— a lot.
I kept waiting for a Db2 in the bass 🤣

[emma-grace]

the whole thing was amazing, like the highs and then the low of the last bar UGHH

I was “away” when we learned to play this song in my last piano class that semester. It’s also in Oregon Trail, some of the other songs I learned on the piano.

How many times did you watch this?
Me:yes

[Fritz]

The harmony of the first part is amazing.

[invrl]

This is actually a personal favorite performance of mine, I think everything about this is perfect. But I definitely think older quartets sang ballads more beautifully lol.

[MarkyD.Ingram]

The last 3 bars are absolutely stunning just some great harmonies it reminds me of "without you" by Dale Trumbore. Hal Leonard has a pretty decent recording of it on their channel, give it a listen, it's really something else. Great transcription keep up the great work. :D

[kennethparson]

This is freakin' stunning! Absolute perfection!

[henrymontgomery]

Dude you’ve gotta transcribe the climax to Cottage for sale (NF4)!!

[rpm]

As an amateur bass, without using piano, it is really difficult to be sure, with all these damn bb's, whether they sang it ok, or not. And if in the group there was some sliding downwards, all the notation is almost useless. We might as well agree, that instead of some clean low marked note, there would just be: "Lower, about ½, from what you feel is the current thing".

[jesusestellesmico]

Congrats and thanks, Jason! But I think this piece is in C Major, not in D flat Mayor 😄

[Billybotiefflo]

Though I love this quartet they are a prime example that you don’t need to full voice everything

[jerryking]

It’s rare to hear a barbershop shop song with a low C in it.

[sarahedwards]

What’s with the C-flat and the B-double flats?
