Except he sang as a baritone. He only flirted with the bass notes at one point. This was a better fit for him. He’s got a great range down low and into tenor, but it’s easy to see he’s much more comfortable and powerful as a baritone. It’s definitely a different Avi than we’re used to seeing- and it’s amazing!
He has matured and can hold his own. No more kiddie pop. Love pentatonix, but it is a group of youths. Avi is a man now! Its a sexy, gritty song. Im a classical pianist and i could listen to this 24/7.
Yes. The music, for me, is much more personal and mature from modern pop. That is not a slight against pop, just toatly different styles. None of his songs have been about love, dating, being left, etc. They take on different topics, which I personally appreciate, as an older fan. (Oh, behinds, Tanya, and OLD ASS Fan heh)
BakenDailey I thought sweetadaline was his? Anyhow, it's not that you can't talk about love....love matters to all of us, even old farts. It's that pop music is focused mostly on relationships, ormdancing, partying. And there is totally nothing less important about that...it's just not where *I* am, so I don't connect to it as much as songs about other things like spirituality, death, freedom, fear, etc. The kind of lyric driven songs I find in folk, for example. But again, please do not read this as one is "better than" another. Just different. :). Romance novels vs. mystery novels. :)
I agree 100%!!! Everything about this resonates with Goodness. 🙏 WE need a Revival to #WakeUpAmerica Against the EVIL that's taken over! #DarkToLIGHT to #ProtectOurChildren from the Soul Less Zombies! 😉👍
I know many peeps don't want to hear this.. but.. the second I heard this all I could picture is 2020 Trump anthem! CHANGE! INCLUSION FOR REAL THIS TIME! TRUMP TRAIN IS COMING TO PICK YOU UP!!!
It seems that Avi has taken that deep emotion that he always puts in his music and focused it so sharply it almost cuts. This magnificent piece no doubt will be interpreted over and over according to whoever hears it. I believe we are looking at a piece of genius.
Now this is what Avi should be doing!!! Sounds soulful, a bigger, fuller and more mature sound and you can feel it!! Love his lower register! And that hair!!! 😍
Chrysty Vance I absolutely love his tree hugging folk stuff and I absolutely love this 😍 his deep voice is what drew me in yeaarrss ago, but I also love his upper register 🖤 and, everything he's put out as a solo artist has made me feel something and pulled at my heartstrings and/or made me super happy and joyful. One of my favorite things about his songs and music and voice is how well he conveys emotions and makes you feel those feelings so deeply 🖤💯💞
Avi has such a warm, deep and masculine voice. He added so much to Pentatonix but leaving the group has unleashed so much talent! Can never get enough of his voice.
@@sunnysolaris23ego is a hard beast to tame. Every member is spot light worthy. It would be difficult to appease everyone and get them the light they need. Glad he broke away on good terms.
I could be sweeping the floor and this song would make me feel like I was in a movie, sweeping like a warrior. Doing dishes all slow-motion like I'm getting ready for battle with that frying pan.
Not really. When he left they had a discussion on video about it. He said flat out that PTX was moving too fast for him to keep up. He felt he needed to step down to spend more time at home with family and let PTX continue their fast on the move pace they've built for themselves. They never stopped him from shining, it's just that most of the most popular material everyone is used to doesn't focus on him as the lead. But if you listen to enough of their music with him you'll discover he did actually take lead with Scott doing the bass duties while Avi sang.
PTX was all work, no days off. He missed having a life outside of work. That said, after hearing Avi’s new music, I wonder if he was also wanting to express himself musically in a way that he could never do with PTX. Only Avi can answer that question. Pentatonix will never be the same without his incredible voice, but damn! Just listen to him here! Don’t mind if I do.
Both Avi and Pentatonix release their singles on the same day. That's a double treat. The new feel in Avi's voice the strength and roar is highly satisfying. And on their channel PTX have released their magic wave once again. Great music both.
This is crazy!!! I tought he was dead... Then PTX release their single and Avi as well named it "change of the rise"... Is he alive now or what? So scary
@@kunegund9690 Yeah. Apart from Light in the Hallway, there wasn't much that showcased how much emotion his voice can express. But acapella groups need that grounding power of bass vocals, so it's not like much could be done about it.
Would agree in most cases - though some will argue that the point of a bass is to go mostly unnoticed: but checking 2:41 - 3:23 of Run To You, I see fuck all excuses for not utilising that ASTONISHING amount of sheer, raw talent. Genuinely can't recall when I've ever heard a voice that's so damn SMOOTH, yet still manages to convey such depth of emotion as he does. The man just has this ability to make you FEEL what he's singing about. That, combined with his range and vocal ability, is just exceptional. It's sad that it won't be as part of PTX anymore, but I'm not gonna complain that his voice will be the focus of any music he releases from now on 😏 (Edited because I can't spell, apparently.)
why do I feel like Avi and Hozier are brothers separated in their childhood but Hozier grew up in a nice Irish village when Avi grew in the woods with some wild wolves lol
When I first heard 'All about that bass' I didn't listen to all the words, just the chorus & I'm all..Yay! Bass is in fashion!Bass drums, voices & walking bass lines here we come!........when I realised it was about booty I'm all, ok, that's good too. Can we please have a world with both awesome bass lines and curvy bootylicious-iness? Avi: "Yes, we can."
There's my dragon! Felt this song down to my very soul. Has that work song vibe that I love so much. I would probably levitate if I heard you and Hozier singing together. Much love and blessings, Sir Avi! I've missed you.
I hate to bring up Pentatonix but I am glad that Avi decided to go his own way. He's obviously passionate about his own visions and he wasn't able to create these soulful songs when he was working with four other people. He's really been able to create what he loves and we're incredibly lucky to be able to get a glimpse of that passion with all that Avi puts out. Much love to Avi and Pentatonix, they're both flourishing and doing better than ever 💕💕
I loved him in PTX but he would have NEVER reached this level if he had stayed. This is far more professional, mature, from the heart. He deserves some kind of award for this song!
@@falconerd343 im happy matt was in sounds of silence because he needed his time to shine and as much as it hurts me that avi left avi is way more passionate about this style of music and matt is also way better in ptx
Any sufficiently bluesy angsty song like this works for any trailer or show for that moment that shit gets real lol ie River, Bishop Briggs, Human, Rag'n'bone Man, etc.,
That's the first thing that popped into my head the first time I heard it. This would be the soundtrack when the protagonist is in front of the mirror putting on his eyeblack, his body armor, preparing his weapon, getting ready to go kick some ass!
1 song and I’m 76, lived a few wonderful hippie days….anyhow…this version was 100 spot on. His voice is so passionate, goosepimples were breaking out, tears flowing. Bless you for sharing.❤️
Director: How much fire do you want in the video? Avi: Yes. Director: So, ... lots of fire? Avi: Yes, fire everywhere. Director: What do you mean by "everywhere"? Avi: Everything should be on fire. Director: How can everything in the video be on fire? You don't want to be on fire do you? Avi: Everything but my hair... there's a clause in my contract about my hair. Director: What about the rest of the cast? Avi: Them too. Director: We can't set the cast on fire. There are union rules. Avi: {Sigh} Do the best you can.
I saw the episode. I spoke on Avi's page about it on Facebook. I knew it would get used. It is an amazing song! But, then again, it is AVI FREAKIN KAPLAN!!!!
HE’S BACK! I’m so happy his voice can shine in this. He can do so much more than just sing very low, and successfully complete harmonies. I’m glad his voice is just shining out in the open like this. I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do next.
@@supermojo9672 I read the other day he's moved out into the woods near Nashville and he sits on his porch looking at the trees and writing songs. I'm hoping for a complete album. Wouldn't it be amazing to listen to Avi play his guitar and sing his own songs for a whole album? And my heart probably wouldn't be able stand his beauty on a video.
I discovered this song purely by accident. It's so very powerful...I must have listened to it 100 times in a row...LOL..seriously it spoke to my heart that much. I love this dude's vocals.
I haven't Bought a song in Yearssss... Haven't found any Worthy, Until Now! YES Please, take my money Avi! CD please, so my boys can hear it in the car as we go about... ThanQ! 🇺🇸 Gob Bless YOU for this Amazing song!
Avi will host a 30 min accoustic livestream concert tomorrow, 5th april 5:30 ET time, on stageit.com, as fundraising for A Capella Academy scolarship! Tickets are 'pay what you can'! New songs and Q&A!!!
OMG.... HOLY SHIT.... This guy can sing. I knew there was a reason I concentrated on his voice so much when he was with Pentatonix... What a song. Just purchased the album....
Pentatonix was one of my favorite groups and Avi was my favorite member of the group. I remember how heartbroken I was when he announced he was leaving. I just could not believe it. After listening to his solo music I now see why he left. He is AMAZING!!!! I knew he had an incredible voice but I never realized how incredible!!! Way to go Avi!!! You made the right choice my friend! :)
Pentatonix became a product, unfortunately. Leaving PTX Avi saved his authenticity. Yesterday I listened to him on his concert in Warsaw in Poland. He was really great. The best voice in the Universe!!!
@@kadifonika5766 he probably saw what it was turning into. And the fact that they just saw him as the bass guy didn’t help either. I’ve never once saw them let him do anything but low notes when clearly he has a larger range then they let on.
I sense it's a song for that kind of moment when the character of the movie says to itself "Enough!" and starts to fight back! I could see this song on Creed or anything like that!
I always new he was more. If you have never heard Standing By when he was still with PTX, please, let me introduce you...Standing By, makes me melt every time I hear it.
I don't know how but there is not a single thing about Avi I would ever change, it's just pure perfection all around, at least to my musical taste. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Avi!
Couldn't help but to imagine Moses leading his people towards the Red Sea. Oh, Lord! I feel the reveling! I feel a change on the rise... Thank you, Avi. Beliefs aside, this song is pure power!! 🔥
battle brothers battle brothers That he is saying that this song gives people confidence and gives them a sense of power... it’s like saying something like this... “my chihuahua listened to this song and became a wolf” Or “My sowing needle listened to this song and became Excalibur” So please... tell me why “whoosh” was your response to said statement by @Bicey
I had NO IDEA AVI had this voice!!! I loved him in Pentatonixs but never heard this rich earthy soulful voice. Oh my word. This is soooo powerful In every way.
Im such a sucker for big low voices. His was the voice I always listened to. He blended in so beautifully a lot of people missed that he didn't just pump in the bassline, he sang it. I heard him sometimes doing percussion along with Kevin while he sang the bassline at the same time. Crazy skills. In this track there are layers of his voice that are so skillfully done it give me chills when i find them. So glad to hear more music from him.
If someone told me in 2018 that a member of pentatonix was going to go solo, Avi would have been my 4th guess. Then I heard this song and I understood. This is a song that defines not just an artist, but an entire genre.
Listened to this everyday for a week. This is what happened: Beard grew 3" Car gained 68hp Chopped down 5 trees with 1 knife Lost 140lbs and got ripped Voice dropped 2 octaves Became friends with a grizzly
Me too. Thing is I'm female, and my husband is now wondering why my beard suddenly is bigger and better than his! All this chest hair really makes my boobs itch, too...
Oh My God- that voice sinks and resonates in my soul. I’m a fiction writer, and I do believe you’ve given me a character arc for the book I’m writing. Thank you!
Delaney Spencer it’s about a man who starts by being angry, but he’d rather run than stand against his antagonist. This song gave me the guidelines for making my character become a strong man who’ll stand and fight his enemy. I’m only on chapter eight, so I have a ways to go. Love the words of this song.
This legitimately sounds like something that will be on TV or a film within the next year. It SOUNDS like something that would've been in The Punisher.
I feel like an entire movie could be made around this song with it being played at the height of the film. You know what I mean, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the protagonist finally gets his act together and/or the people finally join him as he fights tyranny or something like that lol Look out bad guys Avi and his posse are coming for you! That change he sings of? Yeah that’s the end of tyranny and freedom for his people. Ok now we just need a screen play and someone to play the lead. Jim Caviezal maybe. Of course the irony is he played Jesus in the passion lol. He also played Edmon Dantes in the Count of Monte Christo, wait doesn’t Christo mean Christ? I’d say have Keanu Reeves play the lead but he’s a bit old for the part. Maybe Avi could play the lead. As long as they play this song I’m good lol
I know a lot of people were upset by you leaving the pentatonix but I feel like this is the type of music you deserve to be making sounds like your soul went into this.
This is Avi unleashed. No more knit beanie or pony tail. No more carefully trimmed beard. Raw bass power. Definitely a change rising! Fantastic piece!
Except he sang as a baritone. He only flirted with the bass notes at one point. This was a better fit for him. He’s got a great range down low and into tenor, but it’s easy to see he’s much more comfortable and powerful as a baritone. It’s definitely a different Avi than we’re used to seeing- and it’s amazing!
Montana Made The bass line in the background is him too btw
He has matured and can hold his own. No more kiddie pop. Love pentatonix, but it is a group of youths. Avi is a man now! Its a sexy, gritty song.
Im a classical pianist and i could listen to this 24/7.
Montana Made why do people take shit so personally lolol
indeed
...leave the ponytail/ beanie outta this....i'm currently sportin dat shit lol
The voice of whiskey, molasses and an oak tree. Incredible.
Strong , Thick , and Tough nice
Great description
Nailed that comment Coco!
Speaking of whiskey... I need to hear him sing Tennessee Whiskey.... that shit would slap
I concur.
Avi with Pentatonix sounds great, but on his own he's beyond amazing
Yes. The music, for me, is much more personal and mature from modern pop. That is not a slight against pop, just toatly different styles.
None of his songs have been about love, dating, being left, etc. They take on different topics, which I personally appreciate, as an older fan. (Oh, behinds, Tanya, and OLD ASS Fan heh)
Tanya Nguyen Sweet Adeline and Hey Ya both revolve around the topic of love
@@joshbarela7669 Those are also both covers, not original songs.
BakenDailey sweet adeline is not an original?
BakenDailey I thought sweetadaline was his?
Anyhow, it's not that you can't talk about love....love matters to all of us, even old farts. It's that pop music is focused mostly on relationships, ormdancing, partying. And there is totally nothing less important about that...it's just not where *I* am, so I don't connect to it as much as songs about other things like spirituality, death, freedom, fear, etc. The kind of lyric driven songs I find in folk, for example.

this sounds like the perfect song for a movie/tv show soundtrack. seriously love it.
I was thinking like red dead redemption credits...
It really does
True Detective Maybe
i really really don't want to see this song wasted... but if someone uses it they better deserve it
Sounds like something for hell on wheels
Avi has such a warm, deep and masculine voice. He added so much to Pentatonix but leaving the group has unleashed so much talent! Can never get enough of his voice.
Same here love his voice
I feel like he has thrived since he left, but Pentatonix has taken a backwards slide. Good for Avi, at least.
They had one of the most talented bass singers in the country and kept him in the background 99% of the time. Such a waste of potential!
@@sunnysolaris23ego is a hard beast to tame.
Every member is spot light worthy. It would be difficult to appease everyone and get them the light they need.
Glad he broke away on good terms.
I originally was like ‘no way anyone sounds better alone than in an amazing group like PTX’ after listening to him… ‘oh. I 100% get it now.’ 😍
Can't wait to see how many Netflix shows try to get this one on their soundtracks. Amazing song
Bluenote right!
Totally! I thought it sounded like something from The Leftovers.
this is what I am thinking too .. ✨
Sounds like something that could be in a scene from The Order on s2 if they take a slower paced route
Bluenote this is a game of thrones type of theme
I could be sweeping the floor and this song would make me feel like I was in a movie, sweeping like a warrior. Doing dishes all slow-motion like I'm getting ready for battle with that frying pan.
I love this so much! LOL
Also, same.
I am vacuuming and the cord tangle is NO MATCH FOR ME. I am ready for battle.
@@Chewbecca101 GET THAT CORD
Me too. Lol
this is my favorite 😂 there's not enough of Avi!!
THIS is why he left.
So much character in his voice that I never got to hear as the Bass in PTX.
This is awesome.
No, he left cause he couldn't keep up with PTX's fast pace.
Dragon's Red EXACTLY!!!!
Not really. When he left they had a discussion on video about it. He said flat out that PTX was moving too fast for him to keep up.

There is something so primal about your music, Avi. It speaks to my heart and soul. Thank you for your gift to us.
nailed it!
ye! it feels like living in a Western movie in this a couple of other songs he wrote.
Sounds like an opener for the next season of Vikings
agree!!!
Exactly
Yeap!
Yes please!
Omg please!!
I can see Avi doing a lot of TV and movie soundtracks from this point on.
Avi for the game of thrones season soundtrack
Exactly! This would be perfect for a sountrack!
That same thing crossed my mind. Really enjoyed this.
Totaly agree!
Yeeeessss
I was sad when I found out he left Penatonix. But he rocks by himself! This song is awesome!!!
Was saddened as well. But his voice is just amazing
he couldnt showcase his otherside with ptx
Same!!!!
Didn't know he was in Pentatonix, interesting tidbit
Yea he’s amazing
"Without the Light, the darkness comes" Absolute truth right there!
Let's imagine a featuring between Avi and Rag'n'bone'man. Just lit.
Omg avi ragn bone man that dude from disturbed and and that dude from home free together
And Woodkid. Would be sick.
exactly what I thought!

Solomon Prabhakaran NO JOKE!!!! Loved him w Pentatonix but to hear him solo.... you nailed it! His voice soars!!!! Dang he’s awesome!!!!

I still say this needs to be used in a movie.
A modern Braveheart.... that's what we need after 2020....
Me too @T B
They just used it in the new tv show “resident alien” fit in perfectly
I saw the episode. I spoke on Avi's page about it on Facebook. I knew it would get used. It is an amazing song! But, then again, it is AVI FREAKIN KAPLAN!!!!
@@Naisi09 its a great little show. hope it gets another season. they have some great music in it...including this song.
This is the ballad of a man who has found himself and is now unleashed. A man who has found his soul.
Damn.
Most talented member Pentatonix had. You can't change my mind.
I imagine there's a reason he chose this song. To me, this sounds exactly what it must feel like, having left Pentatonix of his own choice.
@@jreyman Yup, it's almost like an anthem to himself. Immensely powerful one at that.
#mood
I keep coming back to this song. There is just something about it
Avi. Dude. This is the you we've always known was there. Strong.
Soon this will be the soundtrack in a TV serial 👍🏻
Iosif Roman you’re absolutely right!! Like a serious drama, plot twist, cerebral fornication type of TV series
Honestly, at first I thought the video was from The Walking Dead or some apocalyptic mini-series.
Rocco Martin fair. 😄
Yup!
Tameka C. Or something like The Hobbit 😭
HE’S BACK! I’m so happy his voice can shine in this. He can do so much more than just sing very low, and successfully complete harmonies. I’m glad his voice is just shining out in the open like this. I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do next.
I agree. Everytime i listen to a Pentatonix cover, I think about the fact that Avi could have been more explored.
Dude is a freak of nature. I mean that in the absolute best possible way. No one has those pipes.
I feel like a person crawling across the desert who just spotted an oasis. Thank god he's back.
The best way to illustrate how I feel. Thank you!!
RIGHT!!?!?
Im so glad he got back on track. I guess he had a severe burn out.
@@supermojo9672 I read the other day he's moved out into the woods near Nashville and he sits on his porch looking at the trees and writing songs. I'm hoping for a complete album. Wouldn't it be amazing to listen to Avi play his guitar and sing his own songs for a whole album? And my heart probably wouldn't be able stand his beauty on a video.
therealpixie I know! I’d start crying!
Avi has 2 modes:
-Nature Spirit
-Tribal Warrior
Hahahahaha. don't let them box you in.
Why not both?
If Avi isn’t a pagan god then no one is
You right.
I like that and I agree!
I was like "oh that's the guy from PTX!"
I now regret saying that. He's not 'from' anything, that man is INCREDIBLE!
Such a simple ode to personal struggle and the ability to overcome.
Very exciting!!! I can already tell it's gonna be great!
Of course it's gonna be great !! But what is it gonna be!?!!!""???😱🔥😄
Thats good
Super Mojo 7
Avi is the only person that can completely Make me change my genre in music
Oh my goodness! I was literally thinking the exact same thing!😂🙌🏼
Yep
Me too!
Avi is his own genre...
Mmmhhmmm yesss
WHAT A VOICE!!! MAN!!!!!!!!!!! Your range is incredible! So glad you’re doing solo work! There is just such a freedom in the voice-high or low!!
He deserved so much more recognition
I discovered this song purely by accident. It's so very powerful...I must have listened to it 100 times in a row...LOL..seriously it spoke to my heart that much. I love this dude's vocals.
Album now. Please and thank you. Take my money.
Literally tried to buy this song today but couldn't find it. Please take my money lol
I haven't Bought a song in Yearssss... Haven't found any Worthy, Until Now! YES Please, take my money Avi!
CD please, so my boys can hear it in the car as we go about... ThanQ! 🇺🇸 Gob Bless YOU for this Amazing song!
I second thisss!!!
I love this comment. Simple and straightforward.
Avi, your true fans do not hear your voice.
They feel it.
Yes, we do.
VICKY Komini indeed
they hear his soul.
stfu i hear both
@@its_just_marvlus lol chill
The man stands up on his own two feet breathing fire from his bellows. Excellent!! What a voice!
You just described Avi!!!
Michael Kopech brought me here! Not my style of music, but I have to admit there's something about this song! Sounds badass 🔥
Me too!!!
Here we go
sameeeee
Me too.. last game of the season in dodger stadium vs padres
@@robertohernandez2258 yup ! i was at that game
Wowowowowowowowowow. I was sad when Avi announced he was leaving Pentatonix but I'm so happy that I still get to hear his amazing voice.
Avi will host a 30 min accoustic livestream concert tomorrow, 5th april 5:30 ET time, on stageit.com, as fundraising for A Capella Academy scolarship! Tickets are 'pay what you can'! New songs and Q&A!!!
As much as I love ptx I love some of Avi's stuff even more. His music has a kind of soul to it.
@@Evija3000 i agree, there's something very...real...for lack of a better word, about what he does.
OMG.... HOLY SHIT.... This guy can sing. I knew there was a reason I concentrated on his voice so much when he was with Pentatonix... What a song. Just purchased the album....
Album name?? I love Pentatonix, but love Avi more , wow what a voice love his videos ! Just found this, love it.
@@beckycampbell603 it looks like (from iTunes) the album is " I'll Get By "
Dang dude
As much as I miss him in Pentatonix, this proves that his voice and talent was not exposed to the best advantage. He is much better as a solo artist
Hearing him makes me want to sing again.
I didn't realize you could fall in love twice with the same man. Keep it up.
Every time I hear him, I fall in love all over again!
Nice comment, made me smile
Can we all appreciate how hot Avi and his voice is
_Its even hotter than all the fire in this video all together_
Alecs Army Fire wins. Always.
Amen
Wow is right. Im 68 and very arthritic but I listening to this i feel like I can anything!! I'm a 68 year old woman warrior!!
Me too and I am in so much pain I don’t sleep so I listen to Avi. I can deal with the infusion tomorrow.
It's a cure for arthritis.count me in sisters. I and my walking frame are ready to take on anyone.
Sisters in age, pain, and love. We can conquer anything with music like this! 💜
I've got to add my voice to yours. Avi does make me wish I could subtract a few years though! 65 and still rocking out. At least in my mind...🤭
@@JaniceCW61 Absolutely.
I was watching Resident Alien and my mom called from the other room, “what AMAZING song is that?!”
Same here 😂🎉🎉🎉
I was just watching that same episode yesterday and grabbed my phone so fast to Shazam it!
Same👽
Yep
@@elizabethwhite1068 Me too!!!
Avi kaplan, pentatonix and voiceplay all in one morning, best birthday ever!!
Lliam brown happy birthday!
Happy birthdayyyy ! 😊
Happy birthday
Thank you everyone, i hope everyone has a great day
Happy Birthday!!!!
his voice is a religion all in itself. Clean. Pure. Deep.
Amen to that!!
He sounds fierce here. There are also times when he sounds gentle. He is a rare breed.
Not enough violence and cult behavior to be a religion
Yes, I feel like if I could hear God's voice this is what it would sound like. Glorious.
Probably the best way I have ever seen it described. The description alone is on a whole other level. I'm gonna use this from now on.
At this point, I'm convinced he used to be a viking
strongly convinced
With a dragon.
Yes the first Jewish Viking
Same
The word you're looking for is Skald. :)
Gotta say it.
Can't tell ya how many times over the years I have listened to this song........but brother it applies more today than ever!
Pentatonix was one of my favorite groups and Avi was my favorite member of the group. I remember how heartbroken I was when he announced he was leaving. I just could not believe it. After listening to his solo music I now see why he left. He is AMAZING!!!! I knew he had an incredible voice but I never realized how incredible!!! Way to go Avi!!! You made the right choice my friend! :)
Same, same. Actually I never followed Pentatonix closely enough to catch when he made his departure, but his work since then is mesmerizing.
So agree
💥❤️🔥💥❤️🔥💥❤️🔥💥

Pentatonix became a product, unfortunately. Leaving PTX Avi saved his authenticity. Yesterday I listened to him on his concert in Warsaw in Poland. He was really great. The best voice in the Universe!!!
Amazing voice💖💕
@@kadifonika5766 he probably saw what it was turning into. And the fact that they just saw him as the bass guy didn’t help either. I’ve never once saw them let him do anything but low notes when clearly he has a larger range then they let on.
This is a war song for sure
This needs to be in a movie
It has punisher vibes.
I sense it's a song for that kind of moment when the character of the movie says to itself "Enough!" and starts to fight back! I could see this song on Creed or anything like that!
I would love it if this showed up in the next John Wick movie. It has that type of grit and determination, ya know?
@@Natsumi21095 When the excommunicado order gets dropped and he starts to run..
@@kartmazenchi yesssssss. Or when he decides that he has to change tactics and be more offensive in his defense and gathers supplies/favors...
He made quite clear that he is much more than just a deep voice/ bass backup singer...
I always new he was more. If you have never heard Standing By when he was still with PTX, please, let me introduce you...Standing By, makes me melt every time I hear it.
Kinda like Roxxxy Andrews...
What a powerful voice...hits you right in your soul. God gifted talent. I've been singing to it for hours learning it....thank you and keep it going.
Avi Kaplan is one of the most underrated singers ever. He just needs to put out a full LP where he lets that bass in his voice out like this.
I don't know how but there is not a single thing about Avi I would ever change, it's just pure perfection all around, at least to my musical taste. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Avi!
Couldn't help but to imagine Moses leading his people towards the Red Sea. Oh, Lord! I feel the reveling! I feel a change on the rise...
Thank you, Avi. Beliefs aside, this song is pure power!! 🔥
wow this is a PERFECT song for that historic moment!! well thought of!
@@milo_thatch_incarnate Thank you!! The image just came to my mind!!
it is the most fitting thing, @@serenamercedes3506
wish he would put more music out like this.
Have you listened to Move our souls? It has the same kind of vibe.
Wow. The strength in this song is RIDICULOUS. It's got that "I'm comin' for ya" vibe, and I'm LOVING IT. 🤩❤💪
He was my favorite in Pentatonix. Love him as a solo artist.
Me tooooo
aimee1177: Me as well! I knew he had outgrown Pentatonix, which I still love.
I had a pet lizard. After listening to this, he is now a fire breathing dragon.
YES!
Whoosh
@@jcbrothers2489 do ye even know what that is supposed to mean?
Had*😉😂

That he is saying that this song gives people confidence and gives them a sense of power... it’s like saying something like this...
“my chihuahua listened to this song and became a wolf”
Or
“My sowing needle listened to this song and became Excalibur”
So please... tell me why “whoosh” was your response to said statement by @Bicey
This man has southern spirit gospel sensibility feeling, a roots to many comtempary music
My dog listened to this... Now he is a Direwolf.
Hahahaha!! Yes!!!!
Was chihuahua named Teddy, now Direwolf named Quickdeath?
john snow wants your location*
My cat listened to this... and now he's a lion.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Don't listen to this while putting on makeup. I started out just trying to look nice for the day, and ended up painting myself up for battle
hell yeah! eyeliner who? i only know war paint
DH Lee hahahaha
Damn right girl.. We need our best ready for war look.. 💄
Ahahahahaa
That was gold
The Bass Jesus on the rise. Damn Avi, great song, great video and an otherworldly beard 😁
"The Bass Jesus" best nickname for Avi, wow.
The Second coming of *BASS*
Bassus?
He's Jewish😂😂
Kashyyk10 hahaha good one
The world needs this song now more than ever!! ❤
So very true
I had NO IDEA AVI had this voice!!! I loved him in Pentatonixs but never heard this rich earthy soulful voice. Oh my word. This is soooo powerful In every way.
Im such a sucker for big low voices. His was the voice I always listened to. He blended in so beautifully a lot of people missed that he didn't just pump in the bassline, he sang it. I heard him sometimes doing percussion along with Kevin while he sang the bassline at the same time. Crazy skills. In this track there are layers of his voice that are so skillfully done it give me chills when i find them. So glad to hear more music from him.
That bass line makes my soul vibrate sweet lord above I missed this magnificence
i could listen to his voice for 84 hours on loop
only 84?
@@ErynIstar it rarely happens but i gotta sleep some time
r/oddlyspecific
Why stop there?
Pentatonix ist schon toll anzuhören, aber Avi als Solosänger haut ein um ❤
Was für eine starke Stimme ❤
I want this to be the song for every game trailer, every good movie, everything...
Agreed.
@@Jusip111 Agreed again!
perfect for the last of us
The witcher
I was just thinking it would be good for some movie or TV show...
If someone told me in 2018 that a member of pentatonix was going to go solo, Avi would have been my 4th guess. Then I heard this song and I understood. This is a song that defines not just an artist, but an entire genre.
Totally, it's so unique, so different from anything else. The more I listen to it the more I love it.
@@cocozhang6695 well, it's different compared to pop. Because it sound very much like a black spiritual song.
Avi would have been my 1st guess, seriously. I just felt he was so different.
I’ll argue day and night that Avi was by far the most talented member of PTX. Basses that skilled and with that amazing of a tone are 1 in a million
Hello everyone I'm single looking for a woman to be in a relationship with if you are interested reply please
Listened to this everyday for a week. This is what happened:
Beard grew 3"
Car gained 68hp
Chopped down 5 trees with 1 knife
Lost 140lbs and got ripped
Voice dropped 2 octaves
Became friends with a grizzly
Me too... ✌😂👍
Lmao, nice
omg so good hahahaha
Me too. Thing is I'm female, and my husband is now wondering why my beard suddenly is bigger and better than his! All this chest hair really makes my boobs itch, too...
Gee, you will definitely have to post your video as we women are all from Missouri.
IMO this is one of his best. Uplifting, empowering, and darn good sound.
It's about free people reminding a government just who works for who.
You feel his voice in your soul..........
And in your soles. He makes the floor shake!
The bass is good when the highs rattle your bones while the lows seeet your soul on fire shake the foundations of the earth.
Kim Woityra you are absolutely right! I've made the same comment before.
Oh My God- that voice sinks and resonates in my soul. I’m a fiction writer, and I do believe you’ve given me a character arc for the book I’m writing. Thank you!
What is your book going to be about?
Delaney Spencer it’s about a man who starts by being angry, but he’d rather run than stand against his antagonist. This song gave me the guidelines for making my character become a strong man who’ll stand and fight his enemy. I’m only on chapter eight, so I have a ways to go. Love the words of this song.
@@penelopeclark2505 Oh wow sounds really cool good luck!
I'd love to read that? Could you please send it to Brazil after you're done? ✌🤗
@@carolinedamasceno85 I second that request!
This legitimately sounds like something that will be on TV or a film within the next year. It SOUNDS like something that would've been in The Punisher.
Mursin omg I need to hear his on the punisher.
I thought he had done it for a movie!
This sounds like a warrior song to me. I love it!
i feel like this is gonna be in a movie of some sort tbh
snek We can only hope this might be be beginning of a series. Culminating into a movie of sorts. I can still dream.
I was thinking the same thing... I was watching the video but visualizing a Game of Thrones final season full-length promo!!
Som serious viking's-vibes from me!
lol yes!!
I feel like an entire movie could be made around this song with it being played at the height of the film. You know what I mean, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the protagonist finally gets his act together and/or the people finally join him as he fights tyranny or something like that lol
Look out bad guys Avi and his posse are coming for you! That change he sings of? Yeah that’s the end of tyranny and freedom for his people. Ok now we just need a screen play and someone to play the lead. Jim Caviezal maybe. Of course the irony is he played Jesus in the passion lol. He also played Edmon Dantes in the Count of Monte Christo, wait doesn’t Christo mean Christ? I’d say have Keanu Reeves play the lead but he’s a bit old for the part. Maybe Avi could play the lead. As long as they play this song I’m good lol
With my bass turned up, I can feel Avi's voice in my chest! Chilling and very well sung!
I know a lot of people were upset by you leaving the pentatonix but I feel like this is the type of music you deserve to be making sounds like your soul went into this.
Saw his last concert at the end of his Fe long Alright tour last weekend in Nashville. Awesome show and small venue. Loved it!💫🎶💗🌟
