(^_^)<\/p>\n<p>The sheer number of voices coming though have the most ghostly effect.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a softness, expected of a choir, but accentuated moreso because of the wait it was recorded.\u00a0 As you may have seen at the beginning of the video&#8230; 185 voices, 243 tracks, 12 countries.\u00a0 So, this is basically a song recorded from around the world. (^_^)<\/p>\n<p>THIS is the internet.\u00a0 We can joke about it being a haven for porn, identity theft, IP violations, and so forth&#8230; But, then a gem like this comes up.\u00a0 And, it is a gem&#8230; The most valuable kind.\u00a0 So many diverse people.\u00a0 So many locations.\u00a0 Many possibly not even speaking the same languages.\u00a0 All united in song.\u00a0 Once again, our connectivity has made the impossible possible.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n<p>And, it has heart.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n<p>From the looks of things, each vocalist was watching a streaming video of the composer with a copy of the music in their hands.\u00a0 Each made their own recording, via webcam and sent it in to be included in the song proper.\u00a0 While being probably one of the most novel ways to record a song, I gotta say again, the result is devastatingly beautiful. (^_^)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m honestly still listening to it, right now, again, and still grabbing for the tissues. (T_T)<\/p>\n<p>This is what we&#8217;re doing.\u00a0 This is the internet.\u00a0 This is harmony.\u00a0 I love this. =^-^=<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Paisley Beebe, for linking to this on your <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/paisleybeebe\/statuses\/7790349015584768\">Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0 I wouldn&#8217;t have seen it any other way.\u00a0 Communication is a gift.\u00a0 Every single word.\u00a0 (( I&#8217;m reeeeeally gonna beat myself up if I miss your show this week!
