There are certain songs that are so moving they send shivers down your spine.
By no surprise, when Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban collaborated for the duet, “We Will Meet Once Again,” this is the effect many experienced.
But just when you think listening to the celebrated artists combine vocals is potent enough – watching them actually sing together takes it to another level. A new music video was released on Groban’s YouTube channel that features the pair performing their duet side-by-side, surrounded by instrumentalists and flickering lights.
This new music video of Groban and Bocelli will give you all the feels.
The song and video are capturing people from across the globe. This captures the point where vision and sonic waves meet to create a lasting impression of pure beauty.
Bocelli and Groban are both talented and successful singers that have known each other for years. In fact, they met when Groban was just a teen, in a twist of fate kind of way.
Just prior to Groban releasing his album Bridges in 2018, which includes their duet “We Will Meet Once Again,” he took to Facebook to describe how they first crossed paths.
He wrote:
“A duet almost 20 years in the making. I owe so much to an early opportunity I had, I was 17 and in high school and asked to be a stand in singer for Andrea Bocelli when he was stuck on a plane for the Grammy’s rehearsals. (Longer story how THAT even happened). A terrified, pimple faced and blissfully naive kid sang his heart out that afternoon and the rest is history. Meeting him backstage when he finally arrived I just thought “how cool is this? What a world this is.”
The rehearsals Josh is pointing to were for Celine Dion and Bocelli’s 1998 Grammys duet of “The Prayer.”
“We Will Meet Once Again” also appears on Andrea Bocelli’s Grammy Nominated album, Sì. The same album also features duets with other vocal artists like Ed Sheeran and his son, Matteo Bocelli.
Groban also revealed his sentiments about the song in his Facebook post, writing:
“This song, aptly titled We Will Meet Once Again, is one of my favorites I’ve ever co-written and recorded. It has so much meaning to me.”
Not only is the song an auditory delight but when you see the visual experience that the two created in the coastal town of Portovenere, Italy.
The music video begins with the arrival of the two singers to the location of the concert. The black and white footage follows the preparation and sound check for the evening. As the video transforms to color the full effect of the production is showcased.
Finally, Bocelli and Groban take the stage together decked out in white with beauty all around them.
In front of a sea of people, they perform “We Will Meet Once Again,” which is sung in Italian. It’s an enchanting union of sight and song that internet users are falling in love with.
A woman named Jenni commented on YouTube:
“Tears in my eyes. How truly Blessed we are to have two Angels from Heaven singing down here on Earth so we can hear them… :D <3”
Another YouTuber said:
“Beautiful imagery plus two of the greatest singers in a lifetime singing a beautiful song together equals perfection! ❤❤❤❤”
