If (Karaoke)

Perform If yourself with this lyric-led 4K karaoke edition from Musinique.

Follow the words on screen, speak or sing with the pacing, and notice how one conditional phrase can hold several possible futures. This edition is made for active listening, lyrical literacy, classroom participation, and anyone who wants to rehearse the piece rather than only watch it.

For the finished visual performance without the karaoke treatment, watch the standard edition of If on the channel.

Performed by Nik Bear Brown.

Transcript

A lightly formatted transcript of the video, with timestamps so you can jump to any section on YouTube.

[0:11] >> If you CAN KEEP YOUR HEAD WHEN all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting or being lied about don't deal in lies or being hated don't give way to hating and yet don't look too good nor talk too wise. If you can dream and not make dreams your master. If you can think and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with triumph and disaster >> >> and treat those two imposters

[1:22] Just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoke twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools or watch the things you gave [singing] your life to broken and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you

[2:13] Except the will which says to them, "Hold on." If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run, yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, [singing] my son. >>
