PS22 Chorus Captures Hearts with ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ Performance

PS22 Chorus captures hearts with their “Take Me Home, Country Roads” performance. The youngsters’ rendition of the tune known and loved by many is so sweet. Watch the short but adorable clip to hear the group of young, talented singers belt out the John Denver classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

Much like food, music is one of those subjects where everyone has an opinion. And most of the time, those diverse thoughts and ideas are expressed with much passion and vigor. People deeply care about music, and they are not shy about expressing their feelings to others.

In fact, discussions involving music can often devolve into heated debates and even disagreements. These can cause tempers to flare and blood pressure to increase. Hopefully, no relationships are damaged in the process, because at the end of the day, it’s all just sound, right? Everyone has thoughts and opinions when it comes to music, but let’s keep things civil. Music is something to be enjoyed and brings people together.

One of my opinions about music, which may not be popular, is my intense dislike and disdain for the country genre. It all sounds the same to my ears, just a bunch of southern accents singing about their trucks and dogs. However, despite my dislike of country music and other similar genres, I still appreciate John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” How can you honestly dislike that tune?

In a clip posted on YouTube, the kids from PS22 Chorus give a splendid cover performance of the late singer-songwriter’s most beloved and recognizable song. This is one cover that you’ll want to listen to repeatedly.

“Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads”

Everyone can relate to and identify with that song, which is one reason why it has remained popular even decades after John Denver’s passing. It’s why a group of kids from New York City can easily and convincingly sing a song about the back roads in West Virginia.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
