We will be performing this song again this year at our 30th Anniversary Concert June 10th and 11th. More information available at angelcitychorale.org/30Rocks/! Relive the magic in person or via livestream!

Anyone still here in 2024

Proved again that music is still humanity's only true salvation.

Какие прекрасные лица и глаза у всех этих поющих людей! Они все излучают СВЕТ и СЧАСТЬЕ!! А кокой чудесный ливень с громом изобразили!!! Великолепно!! Восторг!!! Благодарю!!!!

Я за мир , за сотрудничество, за честь, за красивую музыку, за уважение. Привет из Благовещенска. Я в восторге❤

Closed my eyes during the first minutes. My clothes are now drying from the rain.

I am here april 2024

I felt the need to listen to this tonight. It’s 2024 I’ve listened 100 times and it still makes me cry Australia 😘😘

Ну почему мы не можем жить так же? Радоваться жизни, творить прекрасное?

The dislikes are from people who weren't blessed by the rains down in Africa

It is simply astounding that rubbing hands, snapping fingers, patting your lap can bring the sound of the arrival of the rains! Africa is truly the motherland!

Дирижеру- респект!!!! Здоровски!!!!

Люблю грозу в начале мая... Хотя сегодня 5 апреля... День рождения моего папы... Ему бы исполнилось 77... красивая цифра... Но его уже 26 лет как нет с нами... Он очень любил музыку... Думаю, что ему бы понравился этот хорал... Спасибо за настроение

Lying in my bed tonight listening to the sound of the rain falling on my roof. Thank God I live in the most beautiful country on earth South Africa.

It's now 2023. This song, this group is ageless. I listen to it several times a year. What talent.

This beautiful arrangement was done 10 years ago but this Toto song is timeless even after 42 years (1982). I hope every new generation finds this band and their music.

Вот, чем должны заниматься люди: радоваться жизни и творить, а не вот это вот всё

Who's watching this again in 2021 😁✌🏼 Amazing!! 💓

OMG THE RAIN SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE THAT WHEN I WAS A CHILD IN MY HOME TOWN IN ZAMBIA EVERY DECEMBER. WHAT MEMORIES. THANK YOU

Впечатляет ! Воодушевляет ! Благодарю за возможность видеть и слышать изумительное Творчество! Очень талантливо ❣️

Close your eyes....it was a thunder storm to bring you into the vocals...art personified

finally a UKposts video I can share with my mom

Michela Murgia sent me here. Probably you don’t know who she is but her work as an intellectual is strong, powerful, inclusive and honest. Grazie Michela ❤

Хор, когда голоса сливаются - это наслаждение и высший кайф, когда все выходит и получается МУЗЫКА!

Впечатлило!!! Красивые голоса, потрясающие эффекты!

We need this as humanity. The creativity, humor, and unity. All of them working together to create something beautiful.

so this is what happy people look like

Что это было? Надо же такое придумать, имитация дождя… восторг!!!❤

Слышу впервые, хотя видео 10 летней давности. Восхитительно, просто Браво! 👏👏👏

I feel like crying the time that all the voices sing

I've watched this video *so* many times, and one of the things that keeps bringing me back to it are the joyous expressions on many of the singers' faces. They clearly were having a wonderful time performing this song. Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed by the pain and sadness in life, it helps to remember that there is also fun and delight.; this video helps me remember that!

Это упражнение психологической групповой терапии мы делали в1998г. Интересно посмотреть со стороны) Слаженность оркестра, хорошая работа дирижёра) Спасибо

Люди очнитесь!Кто пишет плохие комментарии,им классно вместе и они счастливы там очень мощная положительная энергетика которая за заряжает все вокруг Если такого было больше не было бы войн на нашей земле ❤❤❤любви всем 🙏🙏🙏🌈🌞

I watched this a few times this morning. As with most videos that involve people singing and/or moving in unison, it brought me to tears. I thought about that and wondered, "why does this make my heart swell and my eyes leak?" The answer came so quickly: Look at the faces of each person here. Men and women, different ages, skin tone, race, dress, hair, probably different religions or beliefs too. I'll bet most don't even have a great solo voice! But none of that is highlighted. The only thing we get to see (and enjoy) is something of pure beauty and magic that happens when a whole bunch of different people come together for one common reason.

I don’t know why, but this video always makes me want to cry of joy. It’s absolutely perfect, this is the only way to ever perform Africa, and the joy they’re having why doing it is incredible. 🙏🏻

Я тоже так хочу, вместе с вами! Чудо, чудо,чудо!

Oh quelle belle découverte, chorale pleine de vie de joie innovante 🙏🙏🙏et 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Anne Marie

When they said “👏🤲🙌👐👋” I felt that!

I LOVE the choir director, she looks so lovely and it certainly seems as if she's enjoying herself immensely

This is wonderful! I have never heard a better choral performance. At this wonderful performance, I close UKposts and go to bed to keep a piece of this happiness in my memory!!!!!!😊

7 минут с Богом в сердце, с чистыми помыслами в душе и единением в одной цели - И СТОЛЬКО ЛЮБВИ НА ЛИЦАХ ВСЕХ УЧАСТНИКОВ ХОРА 🥰👍 Но видимо на дольше в человеческом сердце и уме не хватает терпения поддерживать единый порыв любви и дружелюбия... Если бы так было со всеми людьми ВСЕГДА - слышать шелест листьев на ветру перед дождём, шум первых дождевых капель, понимать гул ливня и грохот грозы... И ЛЮБИТЬ ЭТОТ УДИВИТЕЛЬНЕЙШИЙ МИР, беречь его для своих потомков и никогда не воевать друг с другом. Ведь места под солнцем всем хватает ‼️... Но нет, мы люди не способны исполнять Заповеди Божьи - любить Бога, любить друг друга и даже врагов... И уметь прощать!!!))) Хорошо, что ещё способны петь о прекрасном‼️✨☀️🕊️🎼🎶🪻💐Спасибо!))) Очень уж тронуло за душу 🙏🙏🙏Храни нас всех Господь 💓

Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the universal anthem of earth.

During my time singing in choirs, I don't think that I ever experienced the obvious joy shown by this choir. Too many choral singers take everything so seriously and miss out on the fun that these have.

Многое бы отдала за участие в таком прекрасном хоре!

This version of this song brings me to tears, every time. I lived for 6 years in South Africa from 2010 to 2016 and loved my time there. I have a special place in my heart for South Africa and its people. It was my home for that time. It took a lot to take me away. If you've never experienced a storm coming across the highveld towards you from afar, the intro absolutely nails it. First the distant sound of the rain, then the individual drops, then the loudness of the raindrops on the rooftop, combined with the thunder, and then, it's gone as fast as it appeared. Beautiful. Go there. See the place. You won't regret it.

When the entire chorus said "Hurry boy she's waiting there for you." I genuinely got chills

I just love how they make the rain effect

Отличные голоса, превосходная работа дирижёра, красивый мотив. Браво!!!

Wow! Timeless! March 2024

The rain is still the coolest thing I've seen a choir do!

Wow... that was an outstanding performance.

Was für eine Atmosphäre, es erreicht das Herz. Wunderbar Danke

Love the diversity of people. Humanity at it’s best

The opening gave me chills and teary eyes. I love humanity sometimes.

The joy on their faces!

Certain songs, when done well, bring a tear to this old mans eyes. This performance was one of them.

Прекрасно! Не перестаю смотреть и слушать❤ С любовьб из России. Москва.

My favorite part is they are all SMILING! They look like they're having a wonderful time and singing for the pure pleasure of it. Beautiful!

After listening to this beautiful choir, what Joy that fills my heart to imagine how the heavenly choir will sound.... Help me Lord that I may be present on that day

Yes, from Brazil, so amazing perfirmance.

March 2024. Still fascinated by this ❤️

I GET CHILLS EVERYTIME EVERY TIME IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY I'M GETTING COLD

9 years, and i still come here to listen this masterpiece, thank you :)

This song brings gratitude for life. This is a praying. Thanks, God!

Я не сразу поняла,что они делают..думала хор глухонемых....но потом...закрыв глаза пришло озарение..как красиво!!!! Гроза..дождь..как похоже!!! Сегодня день памяти моего брата..и я плачу. Спасибо за этот шедевр.

Dude, I listen to this everyday now! Who’s with me?!

I have reached the 4th hour of the morning. School is mere hours away, sleep is not present and here I am. Life is good

Блииин! Шедеврально!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Разрыдалась.......🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍

Великолепное исполнение!!! Россия❤

When you think you’ve heard it all then this happens. That sounded like a sudden storm. Absolutely wonderful!

So quarentine brought us all here?? The art gives us peace in this craziness world

the beginning where they perfectly emulate the sounds of wind, rain and storms? world class

Wow April 2024

I like how this video was published 7 years ago but people still comment almost daily. Really shows how great this piece is.

I swear this song could bring world peace, if we wanted it to.

Потрясающе!!! У меня под окном дождь начинает песню: завязка - по подоконнику, апогей- разверзлись хлЯби ,развязка- громыхнуло, конец - лужи на лужайке. Я такого не слышала.спасибо.

As amazing as this choir was, let’s give it up for the conductor! She managed everyone, and made it look easy!! OMG!! Seriously!! It looked like my Grandmother knitting me a song!! I love it!!

Can't believe they named an entire continent after this song

I'm an old biker, have been since 1977, I'm now 59 years old and into the Rock stuff that goes with it So, just why do these folks capture me? Their joy,enthusiasm, smiles, and brilliance Love it all

Always!! Living in South Africa ❤

Best. Ever. Totally awesome.

Sue Fink and choir, Thank you, thank you, thank you all. I live by myself since my husband passed away over 12 years ago. The only other person I have is my grandson who lives five hours away and he’s going to be a father for the first time. I have seen the best of this world and refuse to watch the news. I cannot tell you how much comfort and warm I get each time I listening to angel city chorale, Not to mention the goosebumps! Thank you all for the joy you bring into my life with each song ❤️

To anyone listening to this while isolated... It will be okay. ❤

Дякую за таку красу. Приємно було і дивитись і слухати. Одеса квітень 2024.

Как же это прекрасно! Браво!!! Брависсимо!!!❤❤❤❤❤

This song has one of the most powerfully evocative melodies ever written. I get teary eyed every time I hear it. I don’t know why but I get an emotional rush every time.

Came for the thunderstorm. Stayed for the whole song. Such a great performance!

I think I saw you guys perform this on tv a few years ago. This is beautiful til this day. There are those who are busy tearing others and entire groups of people down and then there’s beauty like this. Thank you for being the light in the dark.

The director is Amazing. Love the rain effects

The conductor is a genius. Brava!

BEAUTIFUL !!! i loved to watch that one young woman with black hair on the left side about halfway up. her face was just beaming with joy to be there singing her heart out. this has brought tears to my eyes many times hearing them singing together as one. i have been in a choir and experienced this listening to all of us singing together and worshipping The Lord God Almighty, praising Him with our voices.

This song is Majestic! I love Toto! And c'mon, this performance is awesome! Long life to Angel City Chorale 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Открытие и восторг ! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, my goodness, what a beautiful, bold rendition of what is perhaps the most memorable song of the '80s to me, certainly full of grit and soul! Thanks so much for posting... .

3,2 K Thumbs down ???????? How is this possible ??????? I can't get enough of this, so beautiful !

Fantasticcc!!Fantástico!!❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🖐🖐🖐❤❤❤❤

In a choir each member must sing his part to make sense. This teaches us that everyone is important!

To recreate that rainfall in a savanna before the actual song lifted my spirits even higher than this song already does!

That intro was unreal. And I want that conductor to conduct ... everything. Ever. My life.

What an incredible performance. This group and it's director have given the world a treasure for the ages for those of us who grew up with Toto.
