I always thought that the descant part in the beginning of "Secret" sounded like Josh. The timbre of the voice seems very sweet and similar to Josh's voice. Has anyone ever seen him do it in concert?
Unfortunately it was changed into violin during the concert here. So I don't really know who did that. At some point it sounded like Josh, but during the really high part of the descant it sounded more like Tom. But as I've said I'm not really sure. hehehe
3. Stay with Me - when Liam does those notes in between Ed's parts. The first time I heard this song was during their concert and I was like, is that one of them singing?
4. I Am the Day - Chorus part
5. You Were There - the last line when Tom sings "Stay with me through the night and bring me home"
6. Love and Mercy - When Josh sings the line "I was lying in my room and the news came on TV" and the second chorus when you can hear Sam do the second voice to the word "tonight"
7. How Can I Keep from Singing - When Josh sings the last line, "How can I kleep from singing"
8. We Are the Lost - When Michael sings "We are the lost who lived and loved / We felt the dawn saw sunset glow / For now we lie in row on row / In Flander's field" and "From failing hands we throw the torch / Our light be yours to hold it high / For now we lie in Flanders fields / In row on row"
9. Sempiterna the Remix - "Creator conditor perpetua / Exulta clamava in saecula"
10. Never Be Alone - Chorus part and "Through their music is lost in the noise of the storm / And the whispers are drowned in the flood / Their message of hope is not fading away / The echoes will never decay"

... and "Time" - Ben's part... amazing...
it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice
Wow you guys have come up with some great one sI hadnt thought of!
I love Liam in Stay With Me, and the 2nd "Aeterna" he does towards the end!
The beginning of Sanctus from the DVD is great as well.
I also like the really high part in the background of Sanctissima (around 1.43) and the beginning of Sempiterna!
I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'll post it anyway...
Every time I listen to a Libera song, even if I've listened to it a thousand times before, I hear something else that I like. I could list my favorite parts to every song, but that would get boring for everyone. I'm a musically minded person (used to be anyway) so I do enjoy all the little parts I hear. The descants, the harmonies, the way it all fits together. Even the lyrics weave themselves together with the melodies and rhythms and chords just perfectly.
So I guess, for the sake of time and everyone else's boredom, I'll say that ALL the parts of the songs are my favorites.

Time- When Josh is singing and fadding away as Ben begins his high notes. Another part where Josh is singing withour the word and going up and down on the octaves.

I am this way with music, books and movies. No matter how many times I may listen to a song, read a book or watch a movie, I can find something new and different.

i just posted this on the thread about the fav part of time video thread but it applies here too so here ya go
TIME
i like the part where josh is in the second verse and he sings "as endless years roll by" and he holds the by as ben picks up his note. veryy nice harmony there. and the way he says roll by is nice.
the part where josh is vocalizing with the "ah ah's" is soooo great. this is a true representation of the control he has over his changing voice. he is going seamlessly inbetween his chest voice(used for the lower range) and head voice(for the high parts). there are no hitches when he goes over his break(part where you switch from chest to head voice) ah. love it.
I love Tom's solo in "Rest In Peace" They key change adds a nice touch too.
The instrumental climax between the second and third verse of "Three Ravens"
The counter-melody in "Prayer" Very nicely arranged
I cant remember who sung the solo parts on Angus Dei on the album Libera, but there is just something about the arrangement of that which I could listen to over and over again (and have)
"Thickets trembling with drops of dew"...A Song of Enchantment
I will probably come back to this thread at some point...
Like all those kind of questions/topics (favourite song, singer, album, etc) they're great topics and fun to answer
but so hard too.
But on this one I think I have to go for "Time". I like the changing parts when Ben gets in after Josh.
A great question, there's many songs I'll listen to repeatedly just to experience that one hook. Given many new songs/renditions have come about since this was originally posted there's potential for some unique answers.
I'm currently coming towards the end of a 'Three Ravens' binge, the song is great (perhaps a little dreary for my usual taste), but the extended high note at the climax (~4:00) is simply addictive.

I remember the first time I heard Three Ravens, I stuck it on repeat play for about an hour, it may have been longer than that if I'm honest.

Powerfull song by Joe
