Geoff did this in the perfect slow blues rhythm for this song. His range is just amazing as he vocalizes the pain that the lyrics try and portray. Nicely done.
Not only can he flip a song as you said but he breathes new life into them. Plus his acting skills keep getting better also. Showing his heartbreak in his body language as well as in his voice.
Geoff is a vocal acrobat, I swear. From high-high-high to the deepest depths in a finger-snap. I can't imagine how many hours of intense training he must put in to make it sound that effortless. I love watching your reactions to him -- it's just a delight all the way!
Geoffs arrangement of this is powerfully evocative and with his angst ridden acting, suits the lyrics more I think. With the haunting low notes and the plaintive high notes he brought all the feels! Really enjoyed the reaction, thanks! 🙂👍
He sings three octaves in this. Lowest chest note was G1 and highest was either G4 or I think there may have been an A4 in there too. He is a freak of nature man!
I know that the original is considered a classic, and it always will be don't get me wrong but this cover actually matches the intensity and the Pain of the lyrics down to the very last note.... He hammered this one in a matter of seconds when he got started
It was fun watching your reaction, especially since you are a singer who knows the song very well. Your excitement at what Geoff was doing is infectious.
I absolutely love Bill Withers, but dayum the first time I heard this version, I almost lost my jaw. BTW, am I right in thinking you are also part of the SPNFamily? 🧂🧂🔥
That was fabulous. I’m a little disappointed and he didn’t he didn’t reach his highest notes here… I kept waiting for it, LOL. But it was still a spine tingling, chilling performance. His runs are awesome. The range he shows is still awesome and his soul.
@@Rosannasfriend I agree, he didn't really push it with this song. However I don't think he needed to because if you're down in dumps and heartbroken you just wallow in misery. He captured that misery perfectly IMO.
I absolutely love your reaction!!! I started loving Avi, and didn't want to like anyone else....then I started listening to Tim & Home Free, and thought I had found my absolute favorite. I have not listened to much of Geoff, cuz, why? We have Tim? Buuuut....I follow YOU. So I listened. All I can say is....WOWWWW.....(& thank you)! :)
I wish the Bass guys would form a group. Imagine Geoff, Tim, Avi, and a few others getting together on songs like this! Geoff is AMAZING at arranging songs for his range! It would really help let them all show off their range. Something like Genesis was, they come together to make an album then go back to their groups or do solo stuff.
I really love your reaction here. It's a great reaction to a fantastic rendition of a pretty incredible song that I really do love because it makes me think of my partner and it's more-or-less spot on with how I feel about Her, so there's that. Anyhow, I like listening to your reactions because you have such an authenticity about you and I love immersing myself in the experiences and perspectives of other people who have lived a significantly different life than I have. I feel like that's how we learn and improve as a species, so thank you for doing reactions.
I think of Geoff and Tim as "mostly-bass," just like I think of Adam Chance, who was the bass singer in his previous group, as "mostly baritone." And when you mentioned Supernatural I started looking for Dean to come crashing through the door. With Sam just behind him, of course.
He sings this song the way it was meant to be sung. It's a deep dark song and should be soul wrenching in melody. The original missed that. I always felt a disconnect between the lyrics and melody with the original even though I like the original
Sometimes they do put funny little bits in the subtitles since Geoff's wife has hearing loss so i keep the subtitles on even though i hate them too. If you react to his cover of Way Down and/or Sixteen Tons, definitely leave the subtitles on
I thinking that in Oogie boogie somebody who knows this stuff said it was over three octaves. Again this is hearsay because I’m not musically trained, but it is pretty phenomenal from his I’m the Oogie boogieman down to that subharmonic man at the end that I find it hard to believe it’s only two octaves.
The reason Geoff calls himself a Bass singer is because that's the category he falls into as a singer... Bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo, soprano. Doesn't mean one can't sing outside their range to a degree. You should check out Dimash if you want range. I don't even think they can classify him.
Cool thing about covers is you can take some liberties with the song and make it your own. I respect individuality when it comes to covers. I’ll admit sometimes it can go horribly wrong though. When done tastefully it can go really well.
Geoff is more like bass baritone. But Tim is like real basso profondo voice. If you watch Tim talking also then yo will know he has a hell of a bass voice. But Geoff talking voice is baritone voice.
Geoff did this in the perfect slow blues rhythm for this song. His range is just amazing as he vocalizes the pain that the lyrics try and portray. Nicely done.
Geoff makes you believe that he is devastated with his voice and his acting.
Not only can he flip a song as you said but he breathes new life into them. Plus his acting skills keep getting better also. Showing his heartbreak in his body language as well as in his voice.
that paisley shirt rocks, dude.

Strike-me-purple!... Okay, that was just dead cool!!!
Thanks!
High and Dry as well as Blackbird are gorgeous

Me: Hey Geoff, what range are you most comfortable in?
Geoff: Yes.
I know that the original is considered a classic, and it always will be don't get me wrong but this cover actually matches the intensity and the Pain of the lyrics down to the very last note.... He hammered this one in a matter of seconds when he got started
OMG am I hearing this? That bass voice is spooky, unreal. Haven't heard anything like this since Paul Robeson. Even he didn't go down that low.
What is your introduction to him? He’s been incredible for a long time. I encourage you to go down the rabbit hole with him.
@@Rosannasfriend I'm in Australia and hadn't heard of him. I watched a reaction and wanted to see more. Amazing!
I love a good falsetto, however, an insane bass sound, like Geoff Castellucci, carries more emotion & intensity! Absolutely love his voice 😊❤️
Geoff, Tim and Avi....just for starters, They have a God-given talent and they're using it!!!!!
It was fun watching your reaction, especially since you are a singer who knows the song very well. Your excitement at what Geoff was doing is infectious.
Geoff "...When she's gone...."
Geoff's son "Mom just went to the store dad."
Rarely comment on reaction videos but this was good. Even the interruptions worked because they were so brief.
Geoff is a wonderful beast in this song. 😍
There's Bass singing.... and then there's 'Drop into creaky door zone'! 😆😂🤣🙃
Great! Love, love your background!
Love this guy
YES! waited for more geoff/voiceplay.
Always enjoy your reactions to Geoff. And it's fun to watch you try to match his tone. Keep on keepin' on!
Great reaction And a great version of a Bill Withers classic! The bass notes is crazy good 🦾🔥
I absolutely love Bill Withers, but dayum the first time I heard this version, I almost lost my jaw.
BTW, am I right in thinking you are also part of the SPNFamily? 🧂🧂🔥
thankyou for introducing me to this guy!
The Candyman reference made me laugh so much lol that was my favorite movie when i was little still love it
That was fabulous. I’m a little disappointed and he didn’t he didn’t reach his highest notes here… I kept waiting for it, LOL. But it was still a spine tingling, chilling performance. His runs are awesome. The range he shows is still awesome and his soul.
And I need to give a shout out to that arrangement. That’s probably the real stand out of this whole thing!

His best is Misty Mountains Cold... and he does a lot with voice play. little mermaid melody is a good one with them. ❤
Oh yes! Actually
Spine tingling!🔥💕🔥

Did you react to his "Big Bad John" cover yet?

Oh my oh my
i sang this in choir... I loved when we did jazz and blues stuff. Moonglow was great too.
I think at 5:46 it was a G#1 in sub or chest
Geoff when Kathy leaves for the grocery store
loved that demon from Supernatural reference
You Certainly Love the sound of Your Own Voice! BTW Geoff Castellucci has an Awesome Voice...Suggestion: Listen to Him.
He sings this song the way it was meant to be sung. It's a deep dark song and should be soul wrenching in melody. The original missed that. I always felt a disconnect between the lyrics and melody with the original even though I like the original
Ain’t no Hallowe’en in this reaction 😘😂
5.36 Freaked me out :)
Check out Jess Mauboy on her Boss Lady tour a few weeks ago! It's an audience video but her vocals are here 🔥🔥

Geoff has a new song out now . Please do a reaction video of Geoff's version of Way Down by Elvis. Geoff goes way down & moves like Elvis.
He ranges 2 1/2 octaves in this song. That's really good, but I've heard he can go 3. I think 2 is the average for most people.
I thinking that in Oogie boogie somebody who knows this stuff said it was over three octaves. Again this is hearsay because I’m not musically trained, but it is pretty phenomenal from his I’m the Oogie boogieman down to that subharmonic man at the end that I find it hard to believe it’s only two octaves.
Have you done Voice Play Queen in 5min?
There's gotta be some Russian bloodlines in there for those lows... DANG! (and from a fellow low Bass)
Listen to Colm McGuinness too

Yes very unusual way of singing it. Joseph Solomon does a killer cover of this song too
Really dude Watch Geoffs video on how he sends so low, its easy once you learn the tricks to it.
Cool thing about covers is you can take some liberties with the song and make it your own. I respect individuality when it comes to covers. I’ll admit sometimes it can go horribly wrong though. When done tastefully it can go really well.
Please react to Tim Storms - Lonesome Road (lowest singing voice in the world)
How do you make a great soul singer?, get a duck & put it in an oven until its Bill Withers
Help me!!!!!!
I've been outta my mind. What are u doing to me!!!
Any time she goes away
Geoff is more like bass baritone.
But Tim is like real basso profondo voice.
If you watch Tim talking also then yo will know he has a hell of a bass voice.
But Geoff talking voice is baritone voice.
geoff is actually lower than tim speaking wise
Actually Geoff and Tim's ranges are pretty much the same, Geoffs bass is slightly lower than Tim's but Tim can apparently sing a little higher!
if u want another great bass singer to react to u should listen to tomi p
everyone can do falsetto
But not with that tonal quality
@@janetdw quality? Yes. Everyone can do that. Tone? No, everyone has a different timbre
Have the sudden urge to poop
😂🤣😂
The 'Brown' note lol
