Also, the Cesar in this ensemble appears to be a lot more kind and wholesome than the Cesar I dated for 3 years. So he has a good voice and a good heart.
@@DawnLapka I'm so sorry your Cesar turned out to be not so good. But yes, people who know this Cesar personally all tell us he's an absolute sweetheart, just like he appears on screen.
The 80s nostalgia is again brought home by VoicePlay. Thank you Eli. Cesar and Ashley, you knocked it out of the park. Layne and Geoff, great vocals and background beats as always.
I LOVE that they included the spanish version of this song sang by Lisette Alvares. A version that back then didn't get much recognition, only in the central American areas mostly but still a beautiful rendition to the original by Bonnie 🙌🔥✨️
This one brought tears to my eyes. Nice to see Ashley and Cesar together with the Spanish lines. Y'all are wonderful and my favorite group partly because of the variety that you bring me and the rest is pure magic.
Boy, does this take me back! I would have bought the 45 of this back in the day! Special kudos to Cesar for nailing the 80s costuming! (Oh lord, all my favorite clothes from the 80s are now "costuming". I'll just hobble off to sit on my porch and yell at the neighborhood kids now.)
I was only recently introduced to VoicePlay, and have been recommending them to everyone I know ever since.. The experience of listening to them/watching their videos is akin to retrieving a comfy blanket, fresh and warm from the dryer, and wrapping it around your soul...😊
i know i say this with every song's guest, but it's always a treat to have ashley d on board. this cover did not disappoint, my gosh. yet another VP video on instant replay 🧡
Song selection, arangement , video... Everything is perfect. They sang the song fluently and flawlessly with Ashley Cesar's harmony. Eli is an incredible vocalist... I love Layne's singing too. And... Geoff ... The bass of the group touches the heart with its unique and impressive sound... This is the punchline !.👏👏
I remember singing this song across Kansas in 1983 when I moved to Colorado. It brings back the excitement and hope I felt then, seasoned with the bittersweet of things lost, which is the human experience. Lovely rendition, VoicePlay
Having recently driven from MO to CO (and then back again!), with modern speed limits (which I _still_ flagrantly broke), I can't imagine how interminable it must have felt in '83. Kudos to you for maintaining your sanity through the process!
The first time Ashley disappears, my heart dropped and my eyes filled with tears. What an amazing video. Of course, the music is fabulous as well, but the video concept of this one really hit me. Could be a romantic couple, could be a platonic friend couple...works on many levels.
It's here! It's here! I saw one of my favorite songs was about to be released by one of my favorite groups, and nearly died holding my breath! Having it switch between English and Spanish was a pleasant surprise. 💖
Props to Rob on this arrangement- this was really lovely. Loved the inclusion of the Spanish lyrics. It’s …like. Cesar- you just get used to his angelic tone snd then you get a reminder of how versatile he is! Ashley is just excellent. I imagine her hiccups sound excellent probably can read the phone book and make that sound excellent too. It’s really a genius chemistry they have together and it’s smart to feature them. Of course, the three in support on this one are excellent too. It’s a terrific arrangement of your gifts- and Eli, really nice work here!!
I just never have the words to express how deeply I appreciate VoicePlay and their guest vocalists with every release. They are beyond top tier and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is no exception. The vocals and harmonies straight from heaven. My sincere thank you for your musical gifts to us with every note.
Such a lovely rendition. Really enjoyed Ashley's Spanish parts. Geoff's backing bass really hit too. Cesar's and Eli's voices work really well with the song. Layne's beats kept good rhythm and kept the song moving. Well done all.
WOW! I've loved this song since it first came out. I have to say Ashley and Cesar's vocals are so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! You ALL always sound AWESOME no matter what you sing! Love you guys and Ashley!
Thank you for this rendition. Masterfully sung and reminded me of how much I still miss my late husband after a few years. They are always good memories for me.
Wow. Just WOW!!! Sometimes it takes me more than one hearing to really "tune in" and fully appreciate how VoicePlay turns songs on their head. This one just smacked me in the face the very first time out. They took an original that was so-so (my opinion) and turned it into a thing of beauty. LOVE Ashley... glad to see her again. LOVED her in Rich Man/Girl and Bruno (as examples). Her voice works so well with these guys! LOVE this piece. Ashley and Cesar were PERFECT in this! Adorable! As I said at first... WOW!!!
Y'all are the embodiment of a gigantic, bright shining, powerful, admirable, adorable, beautiful, wonderfully singing heart! I just say: THANK YOU.......from my heart. 🥰
After a week of stress I finally got to watch this video. It might just be my new favourite song form you guys in quite some time. The harmonies, the arrangement, the unexpected turns (also the spanish part), I love it ❤
I love this arrangement. It's such a fresh take on a track I've heard more times than I'll ever admit. The mix of voices on this track give it such a great sound.
I liked the 80's references- hair, clothing, arcade, etc. If I remember correctly, this song was originally about a human and a vampire in love- written the night he turns her- 30 years before Twilight! You've done Bel proud, and yes, there is a double entendre on "Bel."
Total upswing and at the same time melting of the heart!!! The story in the video, your acting, the 80s arcade look, the clothing, your wonderful vocals, the Spanish bits and the amazing choices you made in the arrangement! Wonderful!
Welcome to the wonderful world of VoicePlay! We all hope you love their music as much as we do! They sing such a variety of stuff, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Voiceplay, thank you for the feel good, flashback Friday. Ashley and Cesar stole my heart on this one. This was another masterpiece and it was beautiful. These acapella groups don't miss with their arrangements. Now I am waiting for the next one---it will probably top this one as they usually do. Five voices I needed to hear today, thank you.❤🔥❤🔥❤❤
Cesar and Ashley's Spanish is so nice! Eli sounded so nice as well; a little bit of edge to his voice, but not his full rock tenor voice. Layne: Sounds like a drumkit, every video. Hello Mr. Alien! Everyone else singing the song, Geoff in the back ground: 'dum, dum, daah.' 2:37.
Ohh, I’m so excited for this. I love Total Eclipse! It reminds me of the time when I was getting groceries and this song came on over the radio. I looked around, and - can you believe it - I was the only one singing! We were in a supermarket for heaven’s sake. There would have been enough hairbrushes for everyone to have a microphone!
Get out of my childhood lol. Between Geoff’s recent solo videos and this, I’m feeling my (old) roots 😂 PS Will someone come tell my cat that I can sing along? She gets very offended on VP’s behalf.
Either Cesar's really crushin' Ashley or he's a flippin' amazing actor. But of course that's the thing I always love about him...he takes his part in the music as an actual acting role and he's completely committed to it. Honestly, every single one of you could make your living as actors. I often extoll your virtues as singers because you are each so uniquely talented vocally, but much should be said about character commitment. There is always such an intensity to it! As a musical theater person, I LOVE what you do!
I absolutely love the place that this was filmed in! It’s a family favorite for my siblings, parents, and I! Beautiful work as always you guys! Beautiful song! ❤
This was the cover I didn't know I needed in my life, but VoicePlay came through again! Wonderful, amazing, chilling harmonies, fun set and costumes were on point! Thank you so much for this!
I knew Ashley is a terrific singer, but oh my, this was such an extraordinary performance on her part! I mean, everybody is fantastic and the arrangement is brilliant, but... Ashley... You're incredible!
Woohoo i most say I love this music video🤗. This was amazing from the beginning to the end. You guys rock my heart and soul. Hug and love to all of you🙂❤️
I love the storyline in the video and how it ties to the 80's, and the song goes strait to the heart, breaks it a bit and make me shed a couple of tear.
When the Spanish began, I gasped in excitement. I was too young to truly remember the 80s, but this song was still one of my favorites, playing my older sister's mixed tape over and over until the tape broke. If this had been available on tape, I surely would do the same, wearing it out in no time. Such a powerful arrangement, and the video concept was heartbreaking. I know what's going to the top of my Spotify list.
This is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you. You are all so amazing! I can’t believe I was able to live life before I found you. I love all of you so much!!!❤❤❤ And I love you now tonight. And I love you MORE than ever! (If that’s possible😊)
Oh. My. Goooooood. This is so good! The song should always have sounded this way, I can't go back to the original after this. Ashley and Cesar were just too perfect!
Ashley and Cesar’s voices together are just mesmerizing.
Also, the Cesar in this ensemble appears to be a lot more kind and wholesome than the Cesar I dated for 3 years. So he has a good voice and a good heart.
agree
Yes! They blend together beautifully. Their collabs with Ashley and Rachel are my favorites.
@@DawnLapka I'm so sorry your Cesar turned out to be not so good. But yes, people who know this Cesar personally all tell us he's an absolute sweetheart, just like he appears on screen.
VoicePlay has been my number one favorite accappela group ever.
Mine too 😊
They've certainly stepped in since Pentatonix lost Avi.
truee
The 80s nostalgia is again brought home by VoicePlay. Thank you Eli. Cesar and Ashley, you knocked it out of the park. Layne and Geoff, great vocals and background beats as always.
Geoff giving me goosebumps with that massive low note... ✅✔️☑️
Cesar! Ashley! Your voices together are something otherworldly - and I love the little story told in the video.
I LOVE that they included the spanish version of this song sang by Lisette Alvares. A version that back then didn't get much recognition, only in the central American areas mostly but still a beautiful rendition to the original by Bonnie 🙌🔥✨️
Such a beautiful arrangement. Love the Ashley and Cesar duet. One of my favorite songs
Beatboxing was sick, Spanish lyrics gorgeous, deep notes incredible and the shots of the air hockey were hilarious hahah amazing cover guys!”
This one brought tears to my eyes. Nice to see Ashley and Cesar together with the Spanish lines. Y'all are wonderful and my favorite group partly because of the variety that you bring me and the rest is pure magic.
such a beautiful and heartbreaking version of this song. I love the retro setting and clothes. They suit Cesar and Ashley particularly well 😍
Boy, does this take me back! I would have bought the 45 of this back in the day! Special kudos to Cesar for nailing the 80s costuming! (Oh lord, all my favorite clothes from the 80s are now "costuming". I'll just hobble off to sit on my porch and yell at the neighborhood kids now.)
Don’t forget to wear your bathrobe and Birkenstocks!
It was bad enough when I turned on the golden oldies station & they were playing Queen😂
I'll join you, lol.😂
Don't forget, either, we gotta do the big hair!
Hey kids! Get off my lawn!
Consider my heart eclipsed 🥰
Now I really need Eli leading “I Need A Hero” 😁
That would be an amazing mini. Hopefully I will remember that one the next time they open the suggestion box.
That would be EPIC
The name of the song is "Holding Out for a Hero".
Full Shrek cosplay
Totally
Deserves more views, Ashley Diane's voice is a perfect complement to VoicePlay ❤
The Spanish parts!!!!! I'm on my knees.... I loved it!!! Amazing!!!!
I was only recently introduced to VoicePlay, and have been recommending them to everyone I know ever since.. The experience of listening to them/watching their videos is akin to retrieving a comfy blanket, fresh and warm from the dryer, and wrapping it around your soul...😊
We all hope you love them as much as we do! Welcome to one of the more sweet and wholesome corners of UA-cam...a corner loaded with talent and fun.
@@joyfulyes Thank you! That's very kind (and kindness is one of the most important of all human attributes...😊)
i know i say this with every song's guest, but it's always a treat to have ashley d on board. this cover did not disappoint, my gosh. yet another VP video on instant replay 🧡
And once again Voiceplay has taken a song that I am familiar with, but never really paid much attention to, and made it AWESOME.
Song selection, arangement , video... Everything is perfect.
They sang the song fluently and flawlessly with Ashley Cesar's harmony.
Eli is an incredible vocalist... I love Layne's singing too.
And... Geoff ... The bass of the group touches the heart with its unique and impressive sound... This is the punchline !.👏👏
🙏♥️♥️♥️
Amazing! i Love that its a spanglish version! straight into my heart!
I remember singing this song across Kansas in 1983 when I moved to Colorado. It brings back the excitement and hope I felt then, seasoned with the bittersweet of things lost, which is the human experience. Lovely rendition, VoicePlay
Having recently driven from MO to CO (and then back again!), with modern speed limits (which I _still_ flagrantly broke), I can't imagine how interminable it must have felt in '83. Kudos to you for maintaining your sanity through the process!
Cesar and Ashley sizing each other up before combat.
I do have to say, Ashley always knocks it out of the park, she has worked her way into my top 2 VoicePlay collaborators.
The first time Ashley disappears, my heart dropped and my eyes filled with tears. What an amazing video. Of course, the music is fabulous as well, but the video concept of this one really hit me. Could be a romantic couple, could be a platonic friend couple...works on many levels.
I also teared up❕❗
And I teared up as well.
It's here! It's here!
I saw one of my favorite songs was about to be released by one of my favorite groups, and nearly died holding my breath!

Thank you for giving us a full version of this one, VoicePlay! Love seeing Ashley back with y'all 😁

Couldn’t green more.
I absolutely love it when Ashley sings with Voiceplay.
Such a lovely rendition. Really enjoyed Ashley's Spanish parts. Geoff's backing bass really hit too. Cesar's and Eli's voices work really well with the song. Layne's beats kept good rhythm and kept the song moving. Well done all.
Watched this so many times over at this point and Eli's voice at 1:34 and Cesar's at 2:28 are so packed full of emotion! So rich and beautiful!
Absolutely adoring the Spanish verses. Thank you for that! Ashley Diane is awesome and I love when she lends her voice to yours, guys!
Love this arrangement, beyond my expectation!!!
I love when Cesar gets the spotlight. Such effortless singing.
I have nothing but heart eyes for this cover, Ashley’s voice blends so well with all of y’all’s voices. All around, it’s a beautiful rendition ❤️
Voiceplay never disapoints🔥🔥🔥
I can't count how many times I came back to listen to this again. So beautiful ❤
Perfect pitch!!!! Wow! Gracias por las partes en español.
So.... BEAUTIFUL. The perfect mix of voices for this masterpiece.
Ashley fits in so perfectly with VoicePlay.... love it!
WOW! I've loved this song since it first came out. I have to say Ashley and Cesar's vocals are so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! You ALL always sound AWESOME no matter what you sing! Love you guys and Ashley!
Amazing!! Whenever Ashley and VoicePlay are on the same screen together, you know it‘s gonna be great!!
Thank you for this rendition. Masterfully sung and reminded me of how much I still miss my late husband after a few years. They are always good memories for me.
Tears. Beautiful.
this was beautiful, made me cry
Just lovely VP and Ashley! Cannot wait for the reaction videos and replay this a 1000 times. ❤ VP
Wow. Just WOW!!! Sometimes it takes me more than one hearing to really "tune in" and fully appreciate how VoicePlay turns songs on their head.

After a week of stress I finally got to watch this video. It might just be my new favourite song form you guys in quite some time. The harmonies, the arrangement, the unexpected turns (also the spanish part), I love it ❤
voiceplay will always be number one in my book for life i listen to nothing else but voiceplay i love their style they use in all their music
Love the 80s arcade look
More singing goodness from VoicePlay 👏👏👏👏
I was just thinking how awesome it would be if Geoff did a cover of Eclipse of the Heart lol
from his channel or with Voiceplay?
him specifically. but I mean, this is just as good.
Das kann ich mir auch sehr gut vorstellen ❤
YES!
This was so beautiful it made me tear up ☺️☺️
Simply glorious. I can't wait to share this with everyone I know.
Oh goodness. I cried and got goosebumps. Beautiful!! The Spanish lyrics ... 🔥
Yay! Looking forward to the public premiere after watching it so many times on Patreon! ❤
One of favorite songs going through my teenage years. Beautiful done
I love this arrangement. It's such a fresh take on a track I've heard more times than I'll ever admit. The mix of voices on this track give it such a great sound.
This was utterly incredible, I never expected a 'Spanglish' version but I loved it, Ashley and Cesar have such chemistry that you can feel the pain.
I liked the 80's references- hair, clothing, arcade, etc. If I remember correctly, this song was originally about a human and a vampire in love- written the night he turns her- 30 years before Twilight! You've done Bel proud, and yes, there is a double entendre on "Bel."
yeah it was in the musical dance of the vampires
Total upswing and at the same time melting of the heart!!! The story in the video, your acting, the 80s arcade look, the clothing, your wonderful vocals, the Spanish bits and the amazing choices you made in the arrangement! Wonderful!
Wow! I’ve never heard this group before. Thank you UA-cam for putting this in my feed!
Welcome to the VoicePlay fandom! There's a lot of great music to discover.
@@Jitterbuggn The fun has just begun ❤️
Jump down this rabbit hole! It's a wonderful experience! ❤
Welcome to the wonderful world of VoicePlay! We all hope you love their music as much as we do! They sing such a variety of stuff, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

OH WOW. Another tearjerker. I loved this song when it first came out and you've made it even more fantatic.
A very lovely version brilliantly executed! And I do love the 80's vibe of the video. 🥰
Wow wow wow! What a beautiful arrangement and a powerful performance!
Thanks so very much for turning this into a full version.❤
Love this version! ❤❤❤
Stellar arrangement!
Cesar and Ashley's Spanish is so nice!
Eli sounded so nice as well; a little bit of edge to his voice, but not his full rock tenor voice.
Layne: Sounds like a drumkit, every video. Hello Mr. Alien!
Everyone else singing the song, Geoff in the back ground: 'dum, dum, daah.' 2:37.
Ohh, I’m so excited for this. I love Total Eclipse!
It reminds me of the time when I was getting groceries and this song came on over the radio. I looked around, and - can you believe it - I was the only one singing! We were in a supermarket for heaven’s sake. There would have been enough hairbrushes for everyone to have a microphone!
Stunningly beautiful 🖤Totally Eclipsed🌑 the original video.
Omg, you guys did an incredible cover again. And I love that you sang in Spanish gracias. The retro vibe with the arcade just gives it a final touch.
I love the original and this cover is really beautiful!
Holy cow, from the awesome video, to the Spanish section, and that key change... Total full body chills!
2nd listen... Same chills. You guys knocked this one out of the park!!
Get out of my childhood lol. Between Geoff’s recent solo videos and this, I’m feeling my (old) roots 😂
PS
Will someone come tell my cat that I can sing along? She gets very offended on VP’s behalf.
I'm sorry, but cats judging you is what they do. Sing along, loud and proud! Just have the kitty treats ready
😂🤣❤
Geoff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 sassy Cesar 🎉🎉 all of y’all rock! Y’all made my day

I want all your shorts to be longer, so I’m very happy this one got a full version! Just beautiful! ❤️🎶
This was the cover I didn't know I needed in my life, but VoicePlay came through again! Wonderful, amazing, chilling harmonies, fun set and costumes were on point! Thank you so much for this!
This gave me goosebumps, Love! Love! Love! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful as always! And that harmony at the end *chefs kiss*
This song is so sweet and I cried when I watched this!
Love you guys!!!
It's so beautiful and heartbreaking!
I knew Ashley is a terrific singer, but oh my, this was such an extraordinary performance on her part! I mean, everybody is fantastic and the arrangement is brilliant, but... Ashley... You're incredible!
Yeah - didn’t realize how well she could act before! Kept tearing up!
Woohoo i most say I love this music video🤗. This was amazing from the beginning to the end. You guys rock my heart and soul. Hug and love to all of you🙂❤️
Was für eine süße Liebesgeschichte von VoicePlay ,bzw .Ashley Diane und Caesar. Der Song hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Danke VoicePlay.❤❤❤❤
I love the storyline in the video and how it ties to the 80's, and the song goes strait to the heart, breaks it a bit and make me shed a couple of tear.
Same here❕❗
Ahhhh that sounded amazing!!! Always happy when Ashley collabs with you
Absolutely beautiful Voiceplay and Ashley.
Its great to see Ashley back in a full length production: Its been a while!
Why was this emotional and my reaction was 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮the entire video. I loved it
Amazing and perfect performance
