This was the first piece I ever heard sung by the group. 3 albums and hours of listening later, I am enthralled by your performance. I wish I was younger so I could be a fan longer. I have been an amateur chorister for most of my life but your collective abilities produce a vocal beauty I have not heard 'til now. Thank you for your excellent work, please continue.

A choir of Angels; Soothes a cluttered mind, stirs a once still soul, humbles a brazen brow, bringing the hardest of hearts crashing down to their knees. A stone has cast aside its impregnable exterior and flourished into full bloom, now naked and vulnerable.
Breathtaking, sentient and introspective - a chord that surely resonates within every living being.
Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath the stars I'll greet you
There beneath the stars I'll leave you
Before you go of your own free will
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
At least you'll go of your own free will
Go gently
Here beneath the stars I'm landing
And here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I'm here again, the stars befriending
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
And Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Go gently

I got to hear them sing in concert in Nashville last month. One fo the best concerts I've ever been to. They sang this as their encore piece. They are probably the best group of their kind.
Touches a nerve very deep within me... Only music like this can get to it... Gives me hope and reminds me that in a world of hate and discord, there are still things beautiful and gentle that will never be assailed by the dark... Tears...
Aww!! What a tender moment, and a beautiful way for Emily to leave and "go gently" on her way! Best of luck to your next chapter, Emily! Much warmth, light, and love to you!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift along with those who became your best friends, over the years, and for us to listen to, and get touched by!
If Michelangelo is correct, that "the true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection," this group of young singers casts a very long shadow.
