Sing-Along with “Glorious” Contest – Share your favorites ~ David Archuleta

“It’s like a symphony, just keep listening.”
I cannot stop listening to the entries for the Sing-Along to Glorious contest. When I see one on Twitter, I am drawn to click. I envy anyone brave enough to submit an entry. There are so many talented people out there.
“Glorious” is an inspirational song that speaks to everyone, any gender, race, religion, age or profession. That, together with the lovely catchy melody, sung by David, makes this song a favorite among fans.
This quote from YouTube:
“It’s the kind of song that when you hear it it’s like it’s always existed, you just can’t quite remember where you first heard it…” ~Ivy Clinger
Tomorrow, November 3 is the last day to submit an entry. Good luck to everyone who entered. I don’t know how they will come up with a winner. They are all winners, for participating, in my opinion.
I thought we could use this space to post some of them; they are all worthy of sharing. Here are the links to two Twitter pages where you can find some entries. You don’t have to have a Twitter account to check them out.

When you find one you’d like to share in comments, click on the video and then click on the word “YouTube” in the lower right of the video box to get to the YouTube page. Then copy the URL on the top of the YouTube page and paste it right into your comment box. Do NOT click on playlists as there are too many steps to follow.
Here’s writer, Stephanie Mabey’s version:

I, too, have to commend all of those brave enough to enter this contest! Even if I could sing (HA!), I don’t know that I would have the courage to do something like this. I wish them all the best of luck.
I have to still choose Teddy’s version as my favorite. I think it may have a lot to do with his back story… although, he does have a gentle voice.

Seems like even though one does the correct # link, the link still leads one to the whole list of all the tracks. So I just typed in Teddy’s info and got his single version – outside of the whole list.
Peeps may have to do that. ^_^
Hope that helps. Others may be more successful in connecting to the one link they like.
(admins.. you can delete the post that did not work.)

I apologize for the confusion. Do NOT click on playlists as there are too many steps to follow to get one video posted.
I have changed the instructions in the article to:
“Here are the links to two Twitter pages where you can find some entries. You don’t have to have a Twitter account to check them out.

“This turned into quite a project! It started out as a simple recording with my mom shooting video on my phone. And then I learned a bit about editing! It was fun to figure out how to edit different scenes together. And time consuming. But hey, who needs sleep?? I hope you enjoy it! I love this beautiful song and really do honestly believe we all have a part to play in this great symphony of life, that is just our own.
This is a cover song of “Glorious” written by Stephanie Mabey and sung by David Archuleta. I live in Lehi, UT, USA. Instrumental track provided by “Meet the Mormons.” Vocals recorded, produced, performed by Stephanie Boyd. Video filmed by Debbie Bowman, edited by Stephanie Boyd.”

The URL is the page’s “address”. It’s located in the white space at the top of your browser. Copy that information and paste it into a comment. You can ask the elders for help, unless they consider that kind of help as surfing the internet. 😉

Good Morning!
I’ve discovered listening to all these covers that David’s voice really is in a league of it’s own. There is a life, a feeling that pours out of it that just tugs at my soul.
Lexi has joined in the mix.

I love Lexi’s voice. She’s the only girl I’ve heard so far that can sing it all an octave above David. Everyone else sings the low part an octave up and the high part in the same octave. It sounds much better the way Lexi sings it. That’s how it was meant to be. Of course, who else has a voice like Lexi. She’s the female version of David. Amazing voice and amazing spirit. It was nice to see her playing and having a good time with friends her own age. She really is a beautiful young girl.
I also enjoyed this version of three sister singing it in harmony that was very good.

LYRICS
IT’S GLORIOUS
There are times when you might feel aimless
A veces sientes que no hay rumbo
You can’t see the places where you belong
Y ya no encuentras tuuu lugaaar
But you will find that there is a purpose
Pero verás que hay un motivo
It’s been there within you all along
Aunque ha estado…siempre allí
And when you’re near it
Cuando estés cerca
You can almost hear it.
Ya podrás oírlo
Chorus:
It’s like a symphony just keep listenin’
Ponte atento a / la gran sinfonía
And pretty soon you’ll start to figure out your part
Muy pronto empezarás- a tu parte encontrar
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
Todos van a tocar, y melodías hay
In each one of us, oh, it’s glorious
En todos sí, oh- glorioso es.
You will know how / to let it ring out / as you discover – who you are
A medida / que tú descubras/ quién eres tú lo – harás sonar.
Others around you / will start to wake up
Despertarán los / que te rodean
To the sounds that are in their hearts
A los sonidos del corazón
It’s so amazin’, what we’re all creatin’
Es asombroso, lo que cre-aremos
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
And as you feel the notes build
Se sienten las notas-
You will see
Ya verás
[Chorus:]
It’s like a symphony just keep listenin’
Ponte atento a / la gran sinfonía
And pretty soon you’ll start to figure out your part
Muy pronto empezarás-a tu parte encontrar
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
Todos van a tocar, y melodías hay
In each one of us, oh, it’s glorious
En todos sí, oh-glorioso es.
End.

Hey Guys! Thanks for posting all the Glorious videos. I’ve enjoyed them all. There are so many great ones.
My favorite is still little Hope’s video. (the 4 year old) She is just too precious for words.
But …
I have to be honest. I keep going back to watch David’s version of Glorious because his is the only voice that seems to fill my heart through the song. There’s just something about his voice that I haven’t found anywhere else.

Yes, David’s version of “Glorious” is the winner for us. 🙂
When David sings he makes it look effortless, as if music just flows out of his mouth. But we all know how hard he works at his craft. Making it look effortless is part of his genius.

Thanks, Abs for the A+!! Just never knew where to click! 🙂 Hope to meet you some day!!
I have to brag a little….my twin grandsons have interned the last 2 summers for Google and were hired in to work for them next yr when they get out of college! It’s obvious they don’t take after me! 🙂 I told them that when they get rich, not to forget grandma! 🙂 One of them already made a program for the android watch computer. He had it on when they were up here for the wedding last week. They live down by Dallas.
Also, the Elders came by for haircuts today. The one going home in 3 weeks said he would get another before he went home. When we showed the video Of David’s Call to Serve, to the new one that hadn’t seen it, the one going home got tears in his eyes knowing he will see his family in a few weeks. The new one is going to Brazil when his visa goes though.

Jan! I love how you have taken the missionaries under your wing (you little red hen)!! It gives me lots of warm fuzzies when I read about what you do for them. I had no idea you were showing them “Called to Serve”. You are being a missionary to the missionaries by helping them to see the good they are doing and the way service makes others happy. Love ‘ya for it!! I hope we meet up again….soon!

Thanks, Tawna and Sky! I have to respect those boys. Like respecting the armed forces. People that try to make the world better. Just don’t understand the ones that run around with their pants hanging way down and tattoos all over them. Boozing and drugging. There is nothing to respect there at all. jmo I hope to meet you too, Sky, and any others on here that I haven’t met. You all are a great bunch of fans. I met Tawna, and was hoping meeting you again could have been sooner rather than later! Along with Dayzee, if she would grace me with her and her home again…but, alas, to no avail. Thanksgiving….bad timing! Tawna, that would be so bad to be 250 miles away when you live right there! 😦 The Celebration of Christ concert is actually listed under concerts on his OS. So maybe that’s a good sign of more concerts in the near future. LIKE A CHRISTMAS CONCERT!!!!!!! If they would announce it by the end of Nov., that would still give me time to plan………… 🙂
