Acapella

This stunning a cappella cover of “How Deep Is Your Love” will give you chills in the most wonderful way. It’s 100% all voices, showing there’s no need for instruments. Play the video to hear the amazing Bee Gees cover. 

The cover sounds simply divine. Every one of the nine singers has a chance to shine. It’s clear that they are all gifted singers. 

The arrangement is very clever. Each singer has mastered the art of harmony. They sound simply wonderful together. 

Some of the lyrics of “How Deep Is Your Love” that they sing together are: 

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

The Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love” was a number one hit in its time. It was written by the three brothers, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, with help from keyboardist Blue Weaver. It was released in 1977. The beautiful melody is a lot different than the band’s more pop-sounding hits.

The brothers were in France at Château d’Hérouville when they felt inspired to write the song. 

“We went into a room at the Chateau. Chopin had stayed there, so every time I looked at this piano, I envisioned Chopin playing,” Blue Weaver said. “I sat down at the piano and thought of his ‘Prelude In E-flat,’ and I knew Barry [Gibb] could sing in E-flat.”

“ … Through the stained-glass window came a beam of sunlight, and Barry sang, ‘I know your eyes in the morning sun,’” he recalled. 

Barry once said, “I think, the title 'How Deep Is Your Love' we thought was perfect because of all the connotations involved in that sentence, and that was simply it.”

The band actually wrote it for singer Yvonne Elliman; however, music entrepreneur Robert Stigwood insisted that the brothers sing it.

The Bee Gees made a beautiful song, but it sounds all the better when this a cappella group sings it.

A youthful choir delivers a stunning a cappella cover of “Tomorrow” from the famous musical and movie, “Annie.” Their voices are so fine-tuned, it sounds like there are instruments. But it’s just their wonderful voices. Play the video to enjoy the sweet sounds. 

This version will certainly be unlike any you’ve heard before. It starts with bird-like whistle notes and airy vocals that rise and fall with impressive balance. And in contrast, there are moments when the passionate, repetitive chorus almost sounds a little like pop, as surprising as that may sound. 

Hearing the singers' voices sweep, lift, and rise is astounding. You can tell all these youth are having a blast as they harmonize. It’s a simply beautiful moment. 

It’s a very creative arrangement of the classic song. The song is usually sung as a solo by tradition, so it’s very refreshing to hear a take on it like this. 

Some of the lyrics from the long-loved song are: 

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow

The legacy of “Annie” spans over 140 years. It all began with a poem, “Little Orphant Annie,” which James Whitcomb wrote in 1885. In 1924, it became a comic strip in the New York Daily News. 

A few years later, it was a radio series, and then a movie, with many adaptations over the years. The Broadway musical, “Annie,” debuted in 1977 and won seven Tony Awards.

“Tomorrow” is one of the most popular songs from the musical, and it’s easy to see why. It’s filled with contagious determination, positivity, and grit–and it sounds nice, too. Music director Ben Bram and his A Cappella Academy have done a wonderful job with their cover. 

If you’re a fan of musicals, then I hope you are delighted with this thoughtful performance.

The group Dad Harmony’s a cappella rendition of “Stuck on You” absolutely mesmerizes. The incredibly talented vocalists put their beautiful voices on full display in this excellent, awe-inspiring performance. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to listen to their performance of the Lionel Richie classic, “Stuck on You.”

Is there any musical instrument more versatile and beautiful than the human voice? It’s also unbelievably powerful, fully capable of bringing tears to the eyes. Can you think of any other instrument, when played correctly, that can do such a thing? I believe you’d be very hard-pressed to find such an instrument.

Additionally, the voice is the original instrument, and it is the only one that was created by God Himself. Those are often overlooked facts about the human voice, but both are true, which probably has a lot to do with why people love hearing a beautiful voice belt out well-written, powerful lyrics. How else do you explain people tearing up or the cold chills that go down the spine when listening to a jaw-dropping vocal performance?

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of fathers who have been incredibly blessed musically demonstrate their vocal talents with a hauntingly beautiful performance of Lionel Richie’s 1983 hit, “Stuck on You.”

“Needed a friend
And the way I feel now, I guess I’ll be with you ‘til the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed”

Their harmonies are on point, staying and remaining in sync with one another, making for a wondrous, unbelievably ear-pleasing musical presentation. None of them misses a single note, staying in lockstep with one another. Their harmonies, one could argue, resemble those of The Beach Boys, who are heralded for their harmonies.

Given how these young men sound in this short clip, one could easily listen to these guys belt out anything. They could sing the phone book, and it would sound good.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

The Bee Gees' classic "Stayin' Alive' has received an incredible a cappella cover. This is arguably one of the best, most beautiful renditions of a tune known and beloved by many. Watch the short but delightful clip to listen to this incredibly talented group of vocalists perform "Stayin' Alive."

There seems to be an endless number of musical genres. If you've been unable to find a kind and a style of music to your liking, you haven't been looking hard enough. Music has been created for every preference and taste. If you enjoy hearing this particular sound, there is bound to be a kind of music to your liking.

Also, there is an entire musical form and style that emphasizes the beauty of the human voice. While there are hundreds, and possibly even thousands of instruments in existence, none of them will ever top the human voice. It's the only one most likely to bring someone to tears, and it's the original musical instrument, created by God Himself.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a wildly talented group of young singers, The Harvard Opportunes, put their stunning vocal gifts on full display. They performed "Stayin' Alive," a classic tune originally written, recorded and performed by the disco-era group The Bee Gees.

Now, everyone is likely familiar with this song, and if you aren't, how is that even possible? Anyway, while you are familiar with this song, you likely haven't heard it covered this way. It's such a beautiful, delightful cover that highlights the strength and beauty of the human voice.

Moments into their stunning performance, you'll likely find yourself singing right along with them. However, odds are pretty good that you will not sound as good as they do.

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

The Beach Boys’ hit “I Get Around” has gotten a fun, fantastic new rendition. This immensely delightful cover of the song known and beloved by all is one that you’ll return to again and again. Watch the short but lovely clip to listen to this dazzling cover of the Beach Boys’ “I Get Around.”

The Beach Boys are one of those groups that everyone knows. Regardless of age or generation, their music is known, loved and appreciated by all. Whenever a song from the group from Southern California comes on, most listeners will inevitably find themselves humming, singing or possibly even dancing along to those familiar and timeless tunes.

The Beach Boys had an unmistakable sound. You’ll never confuse them with any other group or singer. They are one-of-a-kind, that’s for sure. Their lyrics and the beautiful harmonies are enough to lift anyone's spirits. How could you not feel better after hearing “Kokomo,” “Surfin’ USA,” Little Deuce Coupe,” “Surfer Girl” or any of their other songs, which were typically about the sun, the beach or a car?

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young woman covered one of The Beach Boys’ most beloved songs, “I Get Around,” which is about, what else, about driving around the town, and it’s fantastic. She performed all of the harmonies and even played the guitar and bass, all by herself.

In keeping with The Beach Boys’ vibe, she even sports clothes similar to what one would likely wear at the beach in Southern California during the 1960s or 1970s.

“I’m getting bugged driving up and down this same old strip
I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip
My buddies and me are getting real well-known
Yeah, the bad buys know us, and they leave us alone”

Even if you are not the biggest fan of The Beach Boys, nearly every one of their songs will get stuck in your head. You’ll be singing it all day, but probably not nearly as well as they did.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

You’ll love this a cappella take on Rascal Flats’ ‘Bless the Broken Road.’ There are some songs that don’t just play in the background of your life — they walk beside you through it. This song is one of those songs for me. It came out in 2004, back when I was in college and in love and married to my best friend, and it felt like someone had finally put words to the strange, winding kindness of God’s timing. 

I couldn’t get enough of it. I played it on repeat. I sang it in the car. I let it hold all the gratitude I didn’t yet know how to name — the gratitude for the heartbreaks that didn’t work out, the detours I didn’t choose, the roads I never would’ve walked if I had been in charge.

Even when it became a wedding staple, when it showed up again and again at ceremonies and receptions and highlight reels, I still loved it. It still felt tender. But over time, something shifted. 

New artists kept covering it, each one trying to add something new, a new spin, a new sound layered on top of what was already complete. Slowly, the song I once loved began to feel a little tired and just worn thin by repetition.

So when I clicked on ‘Bless the Broken Road | BYU Vocal Point,’ I’ll admit my expectations were low. I assumed it would be a slightly different version of a song I already knew by heart. But what I heard and what I saw stopped me. 

Their a cappella version doesn’t feel like a remake. It feels like a return to the original. Their voices rise where instruments usually sit, harmony carrying what production once did. The song breathes again.

And then there’s the scenery. They move through open landscapes and soft light, through fields and quiet roads and golden air — the kind of places where you can hear your own heart again, the kind of places that feel like prayer without words. And as the song unfolds, you watch them find their way toward one another, toward home, toward love, until finally they fall into the arms of their loved ones at sunset.

It reminded me why I loved this song in the first place. Not because it was popular. Not because it was played everywhere. This version doesn’t compete with the past. It blesses it. 

And somehow, in their voices and in that golden light, the song becomes new again — not because it changed, but because we finally slowed down enough to hear it the way it was always meant to be heard. 

You’ll have to listen for yourself. But I think you’ll fall in love with it too — not for the novelty, not for the production, but for the way it quietly reminds you that every winding, aching, ordinary road has been carrying you somewhere sacred all along.

“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.”  Romans 8:28

You can never get tired of the Beach Boys' a cappella, and this performance nearly takes the cake. Play the video to enjoy it. You could even say this A Cappella Beach Boys medley is totally far out.

The Harvard Young Men's A Cappella group, The Harvard Krokodiloes, is absolutely stunning. They make the best use of each and every voice in the assemble. And in the moments when they all come together and unite their voices, they absolutely shine. 

The medley mixes several Beach Boys hits into one, and it’s a wonderful surprise to hear them go from note to note with a lyric from a different song. They honor the Beach Boys’ legacy. 

The Beach Boys, a five-member band, got together in Hawthorne, California, in 1961. They released Surfin' Safari, their first record, with Capitol Records the following year. They released hundreds of songs until they ended in 1998, and 80 of their songs charted worldwide during their career. 

They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and are recipients of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award®. They became a staple in American music culture and continue to influence thousands of artists, such as the Krokodiloes, today. 

The group’s youth and infectious joy permeate through their performance. You can tell there is a genuine love for the Beach Boys’ unique sounds. They perfectly capture the band’s joyful spirit. 

The vocal arrangement is so bright and cleverly crafted. Each note just builds on the joy. 

You can just tell by watching the young men that there is camaraderie and warmth between the young men. There is clear rhythm and storytelling as they piece together the Beach Boys’ medley. Their actions and the endearing moment at the end where they mime surfing on the waves are the cherry on top.

This a cappella group delivers a show-stopping rendition of the Beach Boys’ “Fun, Fun, Fun,” and it practically sounds better than the original boy band’s version. The a cappella group is bursting with talent. Play the video to see for yourself!

The all-male group is incredibly entertaining as they snap their fingers and bop and jive to the beat. There’s an especially fun moment at the end of the song when the bass singer comes in, pushing aside the higher-voiced singers to sing the final lyric, “away.” 

The Beach Boys’ song is a lighthearted song about a girl who steals her dad’s car to have a good time until she gets caught. Some of the lyrics to “Fun, Fun, Fun” are: 

A lot of guys try to catch her
And she leads them on a wild goose chase, now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun till her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun, fun, fun, 'till her daddy takes the T-bird away)

The Harvard Krokodiloes performed a great song for their group. It’s precisely the kind of song you picture a bunch of college guys singing together. And the soloist, William Murray, has a range and intonation that are especially impressive. 

What makes the performance better is the personality that each member brings to the stage. You can tell that they love what they do and are genuinely enjoying themselves, as well as their camaraderie. There is a bright, colorful energy that hums through their tight harmonies. The song has a slightly fresh twist but still feels like a fun romp through the '60s. 

There’s a lot of joy here, and it reminds you why everyone loves a cappella. It’s a group effort more than anything, and when done well, it’s like opening a gift. And what a lovely gift it is! These young men are going places.

The A Cappella Academy’s simply stunning a cappella rendition of The Beatles’ “Blackbird” will take your breath away. It’s the most beautiful version of “Blackbird” you will ever hear. Don’t hesitate to play the video and give it a listen. 

The cover is arranged so beautifully and with great imagination. It deserves to be broadcast far and wide. There’s no underestimating it. It’s simply stunning. 

As the nine vocalists gather on the stage, they all have an essential part to sing. They prove no instruments are necessary—their voices are their instruments, and they are perfectly tuned. There are many harmonious moments added to the song, which make even the non-lyrical moments shine with beauty. To perform such an incredible feat, every member must have a skilled ear and voice. They bring an emotional depth and intention to the classic Beatles piece. 

Some moments are just whispers of sound—a light melody, but then they swing to something strong and controlled. Somehow, it all blends together perfectly.

Some of the lyrics the group sings are: 

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

When you hear this sweet song, it’s like nothing else exists. You just want to bask in their voices and the beautiful melody, hoping the short song will somehow last forever. It is not only technically perfect but also deep and emotional. This performance pulls out the deep meaning of the song, which was written about the Civil Rights Movement. It’s impossible not to connect with the song and feel its hope through these performers. 

This song excellently showcases the power of music. It has the potential to take you to another place and touch your soul when you least expect it. 

Prepare to be wowed by this all-male group. They have the making for the big leagues in music. Check out this video of an a cappella group's electrifying rendition of Ray Charles’ ‘Hit the Road Jack.’

This song will immediately intrigue you and have you eager to hear more. Five young men stand in front of a sports car and a blue screen, singing with confidence. Their group is called VoicePlay, and they have a featured artist named Deejay Young with them. 

The lead vocalist has a smooth and strong voice with flair. The background vocals are tight harmonies with unexpected notes. As the song continues and close-ups are shown on each individual, you will gain a better understanding of who is singing each vocal part. 

It is always amazing to hear what the human voice is capable of achieving in a group. It reminds us of the importance and value of community. By themselves, these singers are each just singing their own part, but all together, they are making stunning music. This truly is an art. 

There is a shocking musical moment on the second chorus where the group holds out an unexpected note on the word “more.” The harmonies are incredible. One man makes the sound of a car so well that it will amaze you. Then you hear some individual solos, and it is really nice to hear each voice. 

There is beat boxing into a Skat (jazz style), it will get you so excited. This amazingly talented group even takes it to the next level, with the hip-hop style coming to an end, and the singer on the left hitting the lowest notes as a bass. It will wow you and no doubt put a smile on your face. 

“So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:5

The timeless classic “What a Wonderful World” gets a soul-stirring a cappella makeover in this new music video by 7th Ave Band. So much talent is packed into this cover, and it is simply irresistible to listen to. Play the video to hear their unique sound.

The 7th Ave a cappella band makes “What a Wonderful World” sound like a bright Christmas song. They sound as good as, or better than, Pentatonix. The four-member group is in perfect harmony as they sing the Louis Armstrong classic in pitches of soprano, alto, and baritone. It’s stunning and soul-stirring. Some of the lyrics to the song are: 

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by

It’s a beautiful song about appreciating the world you live in and seeing the beauty in its nature and people. Remarkably, the song was written at a time when the world was raging in 1967, during the Vietnam War. 

The band perfectly captures the gentle, peaceful, and optimistic spirit of the song. At the same time, they also make it sound like something refreshing and new.

The video features a simple setup, with each person holding a mug around a kitchen table. But there is so much light coming through the window behind them—it fills the room and somehow suits the song perfectly. 

The emotion continues to build in the song as the band sings it, and it seems to intensify with every passing second. What’s even more special is that the group appears to convey feelings with their voices. I don’t know how they do that, but it definitely comes across to the listener. 

This beautiful cover serves as a reminder that even in uncertain times, we can still find an abundance of beauty in God’s creations.

An a cappella group’s stunning cover of Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home to Me” this year left its audience pleasantly entertained, and I’m sure you will be too. Watch the video to hear the young men’s sincere performance. 

With lots of “Do-do-doo-ops,” “bee-bops,” and sweet, tender lyrics, the group of 15 or so young male singers stun with their Sam Cooke cover. Some of the lyrics they belt together are:

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving

The a cappella group, known as The Gentlemen of the College, was founded in 1990 at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Each member is a college student at the university. The group has performed all over America and a few other territories. 

They’ve sung at the White House, the United States Capitol, the National Constitution Center, the Waldorf Astoria, and the Greenbrier Hotel. They’ve sung for the Governor of Virginia and the former Queen of England and even appeared on "The Price is Right" and ABC News’ "Good Morning Charleston." 

Their “Bring it On Home to Me” cover is mesmerizing, with rich harmony. The Gentlemen breathe new life into Sam Cooke’s song, making it sound fresh and timeless. It is easy to see why the group is considered talented and prestigious. 

Each young man is very skilled, and they have a natural and brotherly energy that hums the whole time they’re on the stage. It takes a lot of practice and organization to make such a large group sound harmonious, and their hard work has paid off. At the end of the video, the audience whoops and claps, and several people even give the group a well-deserved standing ovation. You’ll want to sing along with the group when you listen to this!

A group of youngsters wowed with their powerful a cappella performance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. Very early in their appearance on the popular program, it's apparent that the children have been blessed greatly with an abundance of musical talent. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to listen to these incredibly gifted children perform an a cappella rendition of a beloved tune.

Everyone has been blessed with a different, unique set of skills and talents. Some people might be good at working with their hands, while others may be skilled speakers, able to captivate a crowd with the spoken word. Some may have more than others, but we all have one or two areas in which we are naturally gifted.

As shows like American Idol, The Voice and America's Got Talent have made it entirely clear, a lot of people believe they are gifted, talented singers. Many of those individuals are correct, while others have been deceived and are incorrect in their musical abilities. Singing is a talent like any other. People either have it or they do not. A clip posted on YouTube shows four little ones who clearly have it.

The youngsters, who call themselves The Brown Four, performed an a cappella rendition of "I'll Take You There," the 1972 classic by The Staple Singers. And it's absolutely fantastic! It's a rendition that you could listen to repeatedly and never tire of it.

Each of the four children has an outstanding voice and incredible range, which they all demonstrate at various points throughout their dazzling performance. Not only are they individually talented, but the four children's harmonies are literally music to the ear. Just when you think they've done everything they can do, they continue to demonstrate their incredible, mind-blowing amount of God-given talent.

How can children that young sound that good and be that talented?

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Listen to this stunning a cappella rendition of the song ‘I’m a Man of Constant Sorrow.’ The singer in the video is Sam Robson, who does an incredible job of singing and putting together all the different parts of the song. And the visuals of the music video are just as interesting!

‘I am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was borned and raised’

The song ‘I’m a Man of Constant Sorrow’ was written by Dick Burnett and made famous by the Stanley brothers. Many other musicians recorded versions of the song in the 1960s, including Bob Dylan. Sam Robson says that he grew up hearing this tune because his mother played it frequently. He also shares details about the creation of the visuals for this music video.

“The visuals contain a video screenshot of my Digital audio Workstation,” he says in the caption of the YouTube video. “I did once before on my Stevie Wonder arrangement, I brought it back because it represents the sense of journey and motion that this song has across its 5 verses. Hope you like it!”

What an impressive arrangement by Sam! And many people online shared their thoughts on his music video.

“Wow! This caught me off guard,” writes one person online. “I love this rendition of yours!”

“I love your arrangement, your voice is killer, your editing superb, etc etc! You crushed it yet again! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these and thank you for sharing your gift with all of us! I love the light you bring to the world!” comments another person on YouTube after watching the music video.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘I’m a Man of Constant Sorrow’ today!

This is an absolutely incredible a cappella cover of the Bee Gees’ hit ‘Stayin’ Alive’ that you do not want to miss. So many sounds are happening simultaneously, and it’s incredible to think they all come from one man. Play the video to hear them!

In his' Stayin' Alive' video cover, Jared Halley exhibits a stunning display of 15 different voices and sounds.” It sounds incredible, and it mimics the original song perfectly. Jared puts a lot of oomph into his performance as he sings. The artist exudes a lot of charisma with his Bee Gees-ish style hair, flashy outfits, spontaneous dancing, and energy. He displays a wide range as he sings in an extremely high tone, as well as occasional deep tones. 

Jared proves that this was an excellent song choice for him as he boogies to the beat. He includes all of the elements of disco with his a cappella twist. It’s clear that Jared has put an incredible amount of effort into this performance, and it pays off. His blend of layered vocals gives the song a rich and full sound that really makes this cover stand out among the rest. 

His 15 split-screen layout makes it obvious how much work he put into the song while creating mesmerizing visuals. The song is not only performed well but wholly crafted well from start to finish and well-edited. 

Anyone who loves a good '70s hit will absolutely love this cover and Jared’s energy. It displays how creative one person can be in showing their range of skills, and it is just fun to listen to. 

From the audio to the creative visuals, this is one thoroughly entertaining video you don’t want to pass up. We hope you like it as much as we do!

September in The Park recently released a stunning cover of The Eagles’ classic ‘Take It Easy.’ The cover does sweet justice to The Eagles’ original song. Play the video to hear the awesome country folk tune. 

With a lead singer, three backup vocals, and seven members playing instruments, it’s an all-around excellent cover. The band has the tune down pat. They are very practiced, and the lead singer has the perfect voice to cover this kind of Eagles song. The band’s cover stays faithful to the song’s spirit but adds a nostalgic, organic feeling. 

Eagles fans will appreciate the care that the band pours into their performance. They’ve got obvious chemistry, and you can hear it in the riff of the guitar, the vocals, and the beat of the drums. They show that this song will never get old. And even if you’ve never heard this song, this cover is still worth listening to. 

Singer-songwriter Jackson Browne began writing, ‘Take It Easy’ as a traveling tune in 1971. Glenn Frey, The Eagles’ co-lead singer and guitarist who shared an apartment with Jackson, heard Jackson working on the song in the basement below him and helped him finish the song. ‘Take It Easy’ became The Eagles' first big hit in the following year, in 1972. 

The song is about keeping things light and not letting problems get the best of you. Some of the encouraging lyrics are: 

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand

This new cover is a great reminder to just “take it easy,” and take a slow breath and remember that everything isn’t as big a problem as it seems.

Check out this superb a cappella cover of Phillip Phillips ‘Home.’ I’ve had the song on my playlist for years. The lyrics—“Hold on, to me as we go / As we roll down this unfamiliar road”—always hit me right in the heart. 

There’s just something about that song, the way it reminds me that home isn’t a place—it’s love, it’s safety, it’s the people who carry us through life. Over the years, countless singers have given it their own magic, and I’ve cherished many of those renditions. But Philip Phillips? He’s always been my all-time favorite… until Jared Halley came along. 

Jared Halley, if you haven’t heard of him, is a phenomenal musician and a master of a cappella. He takes every note, every rhythm, and builds it into something transcendent. And his version of Home? It’s jaw-dropping. 

He divided the song into sixteen separate tracks—bass, alto, percussion, rhythm—and layered them meticulously. When he plays it all together, it’s as if he’s singing alongside a full choir, each part harmonizing perfectly, each beat carrying the soul of the song forward.

I especially love the lines “And I’ll find a way to make it through / I’ll make a home out of you”—and hearing them through Jared’s voice feels like the words are wrapping around you like a hug. Every note is alive, each vocal layer blending into something more than music. 

And let’s not forget the outtakes! Watching Jared dance, make faces, laugh at himself while recording—those little glimpses of joy make the song even sweeter.

I can’t stop listening. Each time I press play, it’s like experiencing the song all over again, hearing it with new ears and a new sense of wonder. Jared has taken a song I already loved and transformed it into something that feels brand new, a version that will linger in your soul long after the last note fades.

So, friends, what do you think? Has Jared’s rendition of the song become your new favorite too? Because, honestly, I think it just might be mine. And maybe, just maybe, it will find a place on your playlist for years to come, too.

Psalm 91:1 “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Check out this wonderful a cappella rendition of Chicago’s ‘If You Leave Me Now.’ The talented singer in the video is Jared Halley, and he performs an epic version of this 1970s classic. His vocal abilities are so impressive!

‘If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh, no, baby, please don't go’

At the start of the video, Jared has a sweet message for his parents. “Dedicated to Mom and Dad Halley celebrating 48 years together,” reads the text on the screen. What a thoughtful way to honor his parents and their love!

Many people online have seen Jared’s a cappella version of ‘If You Leave Me Now,’ and a lot of folks are big fans of what he did with the song.  

“Nicely done. Chicago’s complex arrangements have always been their signature, and you nailed it without the first instrument,” comments one person after watching the music video.

“That was a stellar performance; he has a beautiful voice, and the dedication to his parents was incredibly moving,” writes another person online.

Jared also shared in the comments of his YouTube video that this song is included in his new upcoming album. “I’m excited to announce that ‘Unforgettable Hits Vol 2’ is officially on the way,” he writes. “This album is packed with more of the timeless classics you know and love, reimagined with my own sound and heart behind every note. I can’t wait for you to hear it!”

When it comes to Jared’s background, he began his musical journey at a young age and rose to prominence through his YouTube channel, where he showcased his vocal abilities by performing a wide range of songs, spanning various genres. His music often features intricate vocal harmonies, impressive beatboxing skills, and innovative arrangements.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this creative rendition of ‘If You Leave Me Now’ today!

With a video loaded with 1990s references, Home Free’s a cappella rendition of ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ is pure fun! Founded in Mankato, Minnesota in 2001, the current group members include only two Minnesotans—Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist. Tim Faust, Adam Chance, and Adam Bell-Bastien are originally from Texas, Alabama, and Michigan, respectively. The five incredible singers perform an iconic country-pop crossover hit from 1992.  

‘Achy Breaky Heart’ was written by an amateur songwriter named Don Von Tress in 1990, recorded by Billy Ray Cyress (father of Miley, of course) in 1991, and released in 1992. Despite mixed reviews regarding the song’s merit, the debut single became a huge hit for Billy Ray, and Don Von Tress and Billy Ray became best friends and “musical soulmate[s]” through their collaboration. The song is a little silly, and Home Free gets a lotta silly as they perform the classic feel-good, toe-tapping tune!

Home Free resurrects a bunch of 1990s images to accompany the song, which is now over 33 years old. First, there are the funky, colorful graphics that provide the background for much of the video. With the exception of Tim Foust, who flaunts his home state with his Texas flag shirt, the group members wear hairstyles or clothing that take us back to the crazy—and very colorful—styles and fashions of the decade. 

Two wear spiky hair with hachimakis, one sports a mullet, and another wears a white Big K trucker cap. There are karate kicks and vintage video game recreations, during which the band members blow up. Their aching, but beating, cartoon hearts float down the screen. There’s a collar pop (obviously) and a bit of line dancing, which, by the way, became a huge craze after the release of ‘Achy Breaky Heart.’ They’ve left nothing out of this fun, frivolous video!

Fun and frivolity are in short supply! Thank you, Home Free, for providing both with your cover of Billy Ray’s classic!

Check out this sweet video: a talented U.S. Army chorus gives a Phil Collins classic an a cappella makeover. The song they are singing is ‘You’ll Be in My Heart,’ and throughout the song, videos of Army members with their families pop up. What a heartwarming video to match this touching song!

‘Come stop your cryin', it will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry’

These singers from the U.S. Army Chorus are all fathers, and the lyrics of this song hold the perfect message for the kids of these military service members.

“Originally written as a lullaby for Collins’s young daughter and featured in Disney’s animated film Tarzan, the song expresses a promise of love, protection, and comfort. It is a message that speaks to the bond between parent and child, one that remains resilient across any distance and through every season of life,” reads the caption of this YouTube video. “This performance is dedicated to all fathers, but especially those who serve. You know what it means to love across distance and time. Whether at home or deployed, your devotion lives on in the hearts of those you cherish.”

Not only did the U.S. Army chorus members impress us with their vocals, but many people online were touched by the song’s message that the servicemen were singing to their families.

“From one Navy veteran to you fellas…may God continue to bless you and your families in all you do,” comments one person online after watching the video.

“Awesome! Thank all of you for your service and starting my day off with a song. Stay safe!” writes another person on YouTube.

We hope that you enjoyed this sweet performance of ‘You’ll Be in My Heart’ today!
