The best ever rendition of Bread of heavan now attached (someone else’s opinion. I prefer it in Wlesh myself , but the singing and harmonies in this all male voice choir is something else. The dynamic range is superb.

@Captain It sounds to me like they are singing it in Welsh. I was following along with the lyrics.

@LeopoldBloom LOL - it may be in England we get the English version and in Wales you get the Welsh version - I just started mine again and its in English. Check again. I’d be really interested in you tube had go t that smart, but then it is owned by Google - that’s what even I find frightening about US big tech.

@Captain I live in the US. I meant the video you posted was in Welsh.

@LeopoldBloom Well its sung in English when I link to it here in Swindon UK ? That’s the third time I’ve played it now (which is no hardship).

@Captain That's weird. I've never come across that. I'll have to ask my son as he knows a lot more about how YouTube works.

@LeopoldBloom I’m on tenterhooks now - but it must be the case. ….. I thought this was going to be a thread about rugger religion churches hymns wales and welsh language - but its gone down the route of big brother.

@Captain The first part of the recording is in English and it has the wrong words for the first chorus, but never mind lol. It finishes with one chorus in Welsh though, just to confuse things. I'm lucky enough to have sung this as part of a choir on the pitch in the Millennium Stadium before a Wales v England Six Nations game amongst other games.

@WelshLovely One of my wife's Bridesmaids and accompanist in several conferences Ros ne Jones used to coach teh Wales male voice choir at one time. Its a small world isn't it !

@LeopoldBloom @Captain im in Wales.....and I'm 100% certain this choir is singing in English!
WelshLovely · 46-50, F
@RubySoo Apart from the repeated chorus right at the end, which is definitely in Welsh...

@WelshLovely Well you’ve got to have a bit of welsh loveliness haven’t you !

@Captain He explained it. It depends on your YouTube settings, whether you have it set to render the soundtrack into English when that's available, or to default to whatever language the original was in. If you're noticing other videos that you would expect to be in Spanish or Arabic or Chinese or whatever and they're in English, that might be the reason.
I don't remember changing anything and I can't find the setting for that, so let me know if you want me to ask how to change it to the default language.

@Captain I'm more creeped out when I'm thinking about buying shoes and a bunch of shoe ads pop up.
