Sometimes, you just know when you’ve got it, and the LeBaron family from Fruit Heights, Utah, just know they sing well together. They aren’t famous, but now that they have released a video of them all singing karaoke, that might change.
They recently decided to have some fun while the entire family was together for an Easter celebration.
They chose to sing “One Day More” from “Les Misérables.” They don’t seem much like amateurs. All of the LeBaron siblings joined in, and so did their spouses. Each one had a specific part to play and did it well.
Jayson LeBaron posted the video on his Facebook page and said:
“Anyone looking to do ‘Les Misérables’ for their next show? Better yet…anyone looking for an entire cast?”
“One Day More” isn’t the easiest song to sing.
If you aren’t familiar with the lyrics, they are:
“One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
This never-ending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time.
One day more!
I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are parted?
One day more.
Tomorrow you’ll be worlds away
And yet with you, my world has started!
One more day all on my own.
Will we ever meet again?
One more day with him not caring.
I was born to be with you.
What a life I might have known.
And I swear I will be true!
But he never saw me there!
One more day before the storm!
Do I follow where she goes?
At the barricades of freedom.
Shall I join my brothers there?
When our ranks begin to form
Do I stay; and do I dare?
Will you take your place with me?
The time is now, the day is here
One day more!
One day more to revolution,
We will nip it in the bud!
We’ll be ready for these schoolboys,
They will wet themselves with blood!
One day more!
Watch ’em run amuck,
Catch ’em as they fall,
Never know your luck
When there’s a free for all,
Here’s a little ‘dip’
There a little ‘touch’
Most of them are goners
So they won’t miss much!”
“One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high!
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There’s a new world for the winning
There’s a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing?
My place is here, I fight with you!
One day more!
I did not live until today.
One more day all on my own!
How can I live when we are parted?
We will join these people’s heroes
We will follow where they go
We will learn their little secrets,
We will know the things they know.
One day more!
Tomorrow you’ll be worlds away
What a life I might have known!
And yet with you my world has started
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We’ll be ready for these schoolboys
Watch ’em run amok
Catch ’em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there’s a free-for-all!
Tomorrow we’ll be far away,
Tomorrow is the judgment day
Tomorrow we’ll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!”
The LeBarons have always enjoyed singing together, and they were lucky enough to move on to start families with spouses who also had a love for music.
That means their karaoke nights are a lot better than most people’s.
Jayson explained:
“We’ve all grown up singing together and we all married musically talented people. We all got involved with musical theater and did a lot of shows in high school and college. Music has been a unifying thing in our family.”
The mother of the children, Dennise LeBaron, agrees.
She said:
“Singing is the glue that has held our family together during the tough times.”
They sure do sound amazing together.
Maybe instead of waiting on someone to ask them to perform in the “Les Misérables” musical, they can just direct their own and include the whole family. Who wouldn’t watch that? In the meantime, we can watch more videos of them singing together on their YouTube channel.
