Not to get too cheesy, but you know how everybody has that one thing they wish they could erase from their memory so they could experience it fresh again? For me, that’s discovering Pentatonix, and your channel is the closest I’ve ever come. Your genuine joy and interest and analysis feels like it’s coming from my own brain 5 years ago, making me remember exactly why this band means so much to me. I didn’t think they’d ever hit that sweet spot again. You know what I mean? I hope this makes sense lmao. Anyway thank you for your videos, and I hope you start to feel better soon. If I wasn’t 19 and unemployed I’d subscribe to your Patreon instantly
I was thinking the same thing! It truly makes me feel like I am watching it for the first time again and I also love how he always appreciates all the members the same and always points out why he loves them. Such lovely and genuine reactions always! 😊❤️
I really get a kick out of people, no matter what genre of music they listen to, especially metal heads, rappers, and hard rockers, realize they love Pentatonix. It is because Pentatonix is so different and unique, and also are so damned talented and close knit:)
This was the first original PTX song I encountered (and it is still the most-viewed original song of theirs). This was released before their first album of (almost) all original songs, "Pentatonix" (which had 12 original songs and one cover), and it is (IMO) still their best original piece ever. (Two of their songs from "Pentatonix" come close, though, with totally different vibes, ""Cracked" and "Light in the Hallway". I also like Kirstin's contribution to that album, "Water", with Kevin's imaginative percussion changing the song from Kirstie's original envisioning of the song.) I saw another commenter mention "Light in the Hallway" and want to provide a little context for it. The song was written by Scott, Mitch, and songwriter Audra Mae. Scott's nephew had been born a few days prior to the composition of this song, and Scott wanted to write a lullaby for him. However, he "heard" the song in his head being sung by Avi, whose vocals were recognized by the other members of the group as very effectively conveying emotions. Even though the song was written for Scott's nephew, Avi had the lead vocal though this song, and it was used to close their concerts during their first world tour. (they used just a single mike for the song, with a solitary light (the titular light) to illuminate the five of them.
I still have to give Run to You the place of best PTX original personally. I do really like how on the "Pentatonix" album, if you know a bit about the band members' side projects and tastes you can tell a few of the songs were mainly written or influenced by certain members: Can't Sleep Love absolutely has a strong Superfruit influence; Water is clearly kirstin; and Standing By is perhaps the most similar to Avi's main style. Kevin has his hand in almost all of them of course, with how unbelievably talented he is. Another EDM style original track from a different album that was also heavily influenced by Mitch, similar to this one, is See Through; there's no music video for it but it's interesting to see the similarities to Love Again.
@@DarthRayj Yes, "Standing By" is the closing song for PTX Vol III. That is another song for which I wish they had done an official video, because it's such a wonderful song, and Avi's performance is spectacular. With the exception of PTXmas and PTX Vol IV, all of their releases with Avi had at least one original song. We haven't heard any originals since 2016; I am looking forward to their upcoming album of original music.
Although with this group, having a "favorite" song of theirs changes whenever they put out something new, I'd have to say this is my all-time favorite! It's so original. I love the beat, the look, Mitch's voice - and especially Avi! Great reaction!
You're one of the only reactors to this that seems to have even heard Kevin's electronica part in the middle of the song. It's the first thing that jumped out at me when I first heard it, and even still I am dumbfounded as to how he makes those sounds with just his voice/mouth. Thanks for noticing that, and I definitely think Kevin is an absolutely insane talent that still doesn't get the recognition that is truly deserved. Thanks for what you do, and glad to see your back and good.
I love how every time you say you have a concern about a Pentatonix song, before it ends you say your concerns are gone! They just do not disappoint, ever!
Here is the interview you are referring to where you can see who is doing what. It is just like when Avi does effects in Daftpunk and everyone attributes them to Kevin instead. Hard to keep it straight with those 2. 🙂 Love Again + interview with living/writing arrangements ua-cam.com/video/bC9TicW0iiY/v-deo.html
Concerns over PTX being able to do anything other than amazing on their original music is not necessary. They kill it. I'm not a patreon but would recommend Run to you, Can't Sleep Love, and Cracked. Glad you're feeling better, migraines are the worst
I was on a concert from avi and he is even better irl ! He was is germany colone and it was just so awesome he announced new songs and was just so happy, i think what he does now helps him find his way :) btw i u read this Kyle could you react to one of avi's songs ? Like to "ill get by" or one of the cooperations he had?
"Ref" is another great original by Pentatonix -- Kelly Clarkson actually tweeted about it when they released their self-titled album, saying it was her favorite song. On My Way Home is also another great one! You really can't go wrong with their originals, so glad you liked this one! Great to see your reaction vids again
I totally love it when you say "My concerns are gone" LOL "run to you" is another awesome original song of theirs. I'm really glad to see you back and hope you are feeling better my friend :)
here's a fun fact: the break down after the first chorus, that bass-y beat that's almost like a frog-sound is actually Kevin, not Avi. you can see this when the sound continues after that part, but you see Avi singing a different part. also if you see it live.
Besides their Grammy for DAFT PUNK, they also won for DANCE of the SUGAR PLUM FAIRIES, where no words are spoken, from Tchikowsky's Nutcracker, plus JOLENE with Dolly Parton.
Yeah, some of us think Kevin is a renegade Borg unit who was assimilated by the Gods of Music and soul..., Lol. You need to get some merch, and have a tee shirt with the saying; "My concerns are gone". This was just three years in. You should check out, "Na Na Na", written by Mitch and, "Water", which was the first song Kirstie wrote and sat on for months and months before she brought to the group. It's really good..., everything they do is really beyond perfection, but their original stuff is fantastically great, out of this world!!! Or, as I have said before, they are Angels from Heavens top choir, even if they make a mistake, it's so perfect, it's not a mistake. Peace, Love and Light Kyle!!!
another original song you may like is run to you. it is a very simple sounding song, but the harmonies and emotions of the group really draw you in. thank you for another great reaction!
not sure if you even read these comments this late in, but since i didnt see anyone clarify clearly, that throat bass you hear, and u said "avi" at 3:40 , is actually all kevin XD he's beat boxing AND making that noise at the same time. its amazing
This songs brings back memories of a Vegas summer. I had a PTX song associated with major points in my life, so it's awesome to relive them while you react, and you experience hearing the song for the first time. Glad you're feeling better.
There is a live version of their original song can't sleep love live popspring I think that you should check it out as well because the sound quality is amazing (it's professional shot) and Mitch does the rap part and it sounds way better then in the recording
Please react to Can't Sleep Love. It's one of my favorite originals. I first heard it live at one of their concerts before their first original album came out, I and fell in love with it immediately.
I do notice you point out each of the members range. If you get curious and want to look it up, there is a video of mitch's range and Avi's range too! Its fascinating😊
Ktle this was right after there run on the SingOff. They were answering what is the future of hip hop? Ben Folds asked them that off camera. From an interview of scot Hoying. That was PTXs answer. Would love to see them get back to some of that groundbreaking stuff. But all long lived pop musicians invent and reinvent themselves all the time. Cant wait to see into their future.
I know these reactions are sort of an obsession for Pentaholics, but I would also suggest giving Voiceplay a look as well. They are also a great acapella group, with a ridiculous base and beatboxer. They do great stuff too.
Thank you for another great review. And no, I did not catch Kevin assisting on bass. I’m grateful for your ear! //. Very sorry for your migraine troubles. Unless you have them, it’s hard to understand how truly bad they are.
I Love Your Reactions! Avi has a newer song out (audio only) that I would love to see your reaction to. It's called 'It Knows Me' Please? Your dog is so cute!☺☺
Glad to see you back! It's been a minute since I commented, but I've been loving the content! I'm glad you're health is back on an upswing and I hope it continues
I'll always stick with ya, I love your reactions. Another good one of theirs is "I'm Cracked".. . I just found it, never heard it before, its great! Have fun at the concert, I am soooo jealous!
Missed your reactions. Glad to hear your feeling better now. As mentioned by the others, Can't Sleep Love is a PTX original that had gotten quite radio airplay. I bet you will love the groove there. Keep up!! 🇵🇭
That bass you heard on the chorus wasn't Avi. It was Kevin. Avi is doing a different part. 😁 (His part is "Imma teach you how to love" and other main sounds and words.) (P.S. Im in quarantine and looking at different peoples reactions to PTX. Stay healthy!)
Great reaction! I'm glad you are doing better. I love this song and video. It is one of those older videos where each of them gets to shine. There are some effects, especially on the beatboxing, but they have done this live, and it sound almost the same. If you want an older one with a sense of humor, check out either Gangnam Style or Thrift Shop. Also, if you haven't done it yet, one of my all-time favorite videos of theirs is their original song Can't Sleep Love. The official video is really fun. See you in the next one
I literally was just thinking about how I hadn't seen a notification from you for a bit, when before I even got home to double check my notification settings, you popped up within 5 minutes! So you were missed, and you delivered all within 5 minutes. Your timing rocks!
If you want all originals from PTX, listen to their self titled album. My favs are Can't Sleep Love, Cracked, Misbehavin, Rose Gold.....hell whole flipping album rocks!
Not to get too cheesy, but you know how everybody has that one thing they wish they could erase from their memory so they could experience it fresh again?

turnleftaticeland I COMPLETELY agree!!! Thanks, Kyle!!
I completely second this! 100%
Hear here! This is a perfect summation
Absolutely !!
I was thinking the same thing! It truly makes me feel like I am watching it for the first time again and I also love how he always appreciates all the members the same and always points out why he loves them. Such lovely and genuine reactions always! 😊❤️
PLEASE start selling “My Concerns Are Gone” merch. You’d make a killing!
yes! favorite line! lol
😆
Fantastic idea!!
Omg. Yes. He so does. He cracks me up when he says that. Merch. Merch. Merch!
10/10 would buy
I love the way Avi drops the bass right after Mitch hits the high notes. 🥰🥰🥰
if you want more original pentatonix music, can't sleep love is really good
If you want another original of theirs that's completely different I would recommend Run to you
This.
Yes!! Definitely one of my faves
Sing and can't sleep love are incredible as well
YES!
Yes please react to Run to You🤞🏻🤞🏻😁😁
#MyConcernsAreGone
Waitforit waitforit....
HE SAID IT!!!!!!
Pentatonix originals are often some of their best songs. Which is saying something.
I really get a kick out of people, no matter what genre of music they listen to, especially metal heads, rappers, and hard rockers, realize they love Pentatonix. It is because Pentatonix is so different and unique, and also are so damned talented and close knit:)
This is my absolute favourite song by PTX! This is one of their originals and it gets me moving everytime!

I saw another commenter mention "Light in the Hallway" and want to provide a little context for it. The song was written by Scott, Mitch, and songwriter Audra Mae. Scott's nephew had been born a few days prior to the composition of this song, and Scott wanted to write a lullaby for him. However, he "heard" the song in his head being sung by Avi, whose vocals were recognized by the other members of the group as very effectively conveying emotions. Even though the song was written for Scott's nephew, Avi had the lead vocal though this song, and it was used to close their concerts during their first world tour. (they used just a single mike for the song, with a solitary light (the titular light) to illuminate the five of them.
I still have to give Run to You the place of best PTX original personally. I do really like how on the "Pentatonix" album, if you know a bit about the band members' side projects and tastes you can tell a few of the songs were mainly written or influenced by certain members: Can't Sleep Love absolutely has a strong Superfruit influence; Water is clearly kirstin; and Standing By is perhaps the most similar to Avi's main style.

Another EDM style original track from a different album that was also heavily influenced by Mitch, similar to this one, is See Through; there's no music video for it but it's interesting to see the similarities to Love Again.
Just realized Standing By is from PTX Vol III lol I mix up their albums in my head I guess.
@@DarthRayj Yes, "Standing By" is the closing song for PTX Vol III. That is another song for which I wish they had done an official video, because it's such a wonderful song, and Avi's performance is spectacular.

I have to say, as much as I love their covers, I love their original music even more. I feel it's highly underrated.
You're one of the only reactors to this that seems to have even heard Kevin's electronica part in the middle of the song.
It's the first thing that jumped out at me when I first heard it, and even still I am dumbfounded as to how he makes those sounds with just his voice/mouth. Thanks for noticing that, and I definitely think Kevin is an absolutely insane talent that still doesn't get the recognition that is truly deserved.
Thanks for what you do, and glad to see your back and good.
You should listen to Light in the Hallway by PTX. It’s another one of their originals but much different and Avi gets to take the solo!
Not a cover... it's an original that Scott wrote, inspired by the birth of a nephew. It's a lullaby that he wrote with Avi's voice in mind.
@@bill.godwin-austen Yes, it is amazing. Whenever I can't sleep, I still listen to it and it works like magic.
One of my absolute absolute favorites!! I will 100% be singing that song as a lullaby to my future child(ren)
Bill Godwin-Austen Ahhh I thought I wrote original but I wrote cover instead! Haha my mistake.
I love to watch your face when listening to a pentatonix song...the faces u make when you discover something new..love it!!!
One of my favourites and a video I go back to - such an infectious song
Love Again is my favorite PTX original followed by Show You How To Love.
kyle your reactions are exactly how most of us felt the first time we saw ptx your a joy to watch
That Avi overtone is always on point 👌
Glad to see you again. I hope you get to feeling better.
I love how every time you say you have a concern about a Pentatonix song, before it ends you say your concerns are gone! They just do not disappoint, ever!
So glad to see you on the Tube tonight. Was getting worried about your health. Glad you're feeling better.
Same here. I was afraid you were gone. Love your reactions.
My most favorite Pentatonix original song video!!!
You are actually hearing Kevin doing throat bass. You need to react to their live performance of this. To watch him do it, us so impressive.
So you know that crazy bass noise starting at 3:33? Yeah, that's Kevin doing that, not Avi. :) (Source: Another video in which they do this live)
Here is the interview you are referring to where you can see who is doing what. It is just like when Avi does effects in Daftpunk and everyone attributes them to Kevin instead. Hard to keep it straight with those 2. 🙂 Love Again + interview with living/writing arrangements
ua-cam.com/video/bC9TicW0iiY/v-deo.html
Love seeing your analysis of their videos.
Had the same exact reaction. You need to check out all of their originals. Everything is primo. They are so freaking talented.
I love this song so much. It was the costume change dance cam song this world tour.
Watch more originals. Anything from the 2015 album.
Concerns over PTX being able to do anything other than amazing on their original music is not necessary. They kill it. I'm not a patreon but would recommend Run to you, Can't Sleep Love, and Cracked. Glad you're feeling better, migraines are the worst
This is phenomenal!!! I never heard an original PTX bevore. I'm glad you feel better, I know about migraine
I was on a concert from avi and he is even better irl ! He was is germany colone and it was just so awesome he announced new songs and was just so happy, i think what he does now helps him find his way :)
btw i u read this Kyle could you react to one of avi's songs ? Like to "ill get by" or one of the cooperations he had?
He has made some amazing songs. "I'll get by" is one of my favourites as well.
You should react to superfluit “Beyoncé” to hear Scott and Mitch really go for it together
Miles Dunne Yesyesyesyes
Glad you're back! Missed you! Love your Pentatonix reviews!
Can’t sleep love and sing are really good! Also misbehavin, cracked, and standing by (which not sure if that one is an original or not...)
YAAAAS! GREAT REACTION!!💥 AND PLEASE CONTINUE THE SING OFF SERIES TOO!!👍
This song, and Run to You, were released prior to their first full original album released in 2015. I'm glad you liked it.
This may be my favorite song of theirs.
You have to see Standing By for the next original. It makes me cry every single time.
"Ref" is another great original by Pentatonix -- Kelly Clarkson actually tweeted about it when they released their self-titled album, saying it was her favorite song. On My Way Home is also another great one! You really can't go wrong with their originals, so glad you liked this one! Great to see your reaction vids again
Good to see you back, and I hope you’re feeling better. Thanks for doing this reaction it was really good.
I totally love it when you say "My concerns are gone" LOL "run to you" is another awesome original song of theirs. I'm really glad to see you back and hope you are feeling better my friend :)
Thanks for reacting to this. Hope you're feeling better now.
Great reaction! So happy you're feeling better and back with us.
Great reaction.😁
I usually just watch reactions when its PTX or Homefree.
Your reactions seem to be sincere and honest. Keep up the good work.😁
here's a fun fact: the break down after the first chorus, that bass-y beat that's almost like a frog-sound is actually Kevin, not Avi. you can see this when the sound continues after that part, but you see Avi singing a different part. also if you see it live.
me watching the colors flashing on his face instead of watching the video:
🌀👄🌀
Happy your back and loving one of ptx originals
So glad you finally did this song!!!! Hope the migraines get better, I suffer from those myself
Yeah I had go find a video of them doing this live just to prove to myself how sick Kevin's beats and effects are.
Besides their Grammy for DAFT PUNK, they also won for DANCE of the SUGAR PLUM FAIRIES, where no words are spoken, from Tchikowsky's Nutcracker, plus JOLENE with Dolly Parton.
Yeah, some of us think Kevin is a renegade Borg unit who was assimilated by the Gods of Music and soul..., Lol.

another original song you may like is run to you. it is a very simple sounding song, but the harmonies and emotions of the group really draw you in. thank you for another great reaction!
4:58-515. I love how you're eyes can't decide to watch Avi or Kevin
Ohhh...I just commented on "Rather Be" and then saw this upload! What a treat - 2 in a day. Glad you are feeling better. I, too, love this song!
not sure if you even read these comments this late in, but since i didnt see anyone clarify clearly, that throat bass you hear, and u said "avi" at 3:40 , is actually all kevin XD he's beat boxing AND making that noise at the same time. its amazing
Thanks for the heads up! I'm late to the comment but I do read them all. :)
Missed you, glad you feel better
Sing and can't sleep love are 2 of my favorites!! So glad you're back I very much look forward to your reactions!!
"My only concern is..."
*waits eagerly rubbing hands together in glee for the phrase...* say it... Say it...!!
Dude "MyConcernsAreGone" is killing me.
This songs brings back memories of a Vegas summer. I had a PTX song associated with major points in my life, so it's awesome to relive them while you react, and you experience hearing the song for the first time. Glad you're feeling better.
Glad your back and feeling better
Glad you are feeling better. ❤️❤️
Remember... PTX doesn't do covers... They do upgrades!!!
this is one of my favorites from PTX. Original, sexy and cool - love this song, and glad you reviewed it!
Yaaaay! Glad you are back. Hope you feeling better!
There is a live version of their original song can't sleep love live popspring I think that you should check it out as well because the sound quality is amazing (it's professional shot) and Mitch does the rap part and it sounds way better then in the recording
Please react to Can't Sleep Love. It's one of my favorite originals. I first heard it live at one of their concerts before their first original album came out, I and fell in love with it immediately.
That would make a great Valentine's Day reaction!!!
Sound of silence
Sound of silence
Sound of silence!!! You must hear that!!!
I do notice you point out each of the members range. If you get curious and want to look it up, there is a video of mitch's range and Avi's range too! Its fascinating😊
Love this song 😃😃
Good to see you're back, great reaction..as usual.
Ktle this was right after there run on the SingOff. They were answering what is the future of hip hop? Ben Folds asked them that off camera. From an interview of scot Hoying. That was PTXs answer. Would love to see them get back to some of that groundbreaking stuff. But all long lived pop musicians invent and reinvent themselves all the time. Cant wait to see into their future.
You output audio to UA-cam is awesome. I think it is as high fidelity as you can get for the platform. Great reaction!
this is even better than their Grammy winning Daft Punk . . . . and it's their original. I thought I had heard all their stuff. Missed this one.
I know these reactions are sort of an obsession for Pentaholics, but I would also suggest giving Voiceplay a look as well. They are also a great acapella group, with a ridiculous base and beatboxer. They do great stuff too.
Thank you for another great review. And no, I did not catch Kevin assisting on bass. I’m grateful for your ear! //. Very sorry for your migraine troubles. Unless you have them, it’s hard to understand how truly bad they are.
Love your content, man. Keep up the great work. Sorry to hear about migraines.
I still don't know how this wasn't a huge radio and club hit.
Not sure if you noticed, but those low A1s after the first chorus are actually done by Kevin using throat bass!
I am certain that these guys can do... anything.
Hahaha. "Kevin's about to go off"
I love this song and most all of their other original songs but my personal favorite is Sing I don’t quite know why it just...speaks to me
I Love Your Reactions!
Avi has a newer song out (audio only) that I would love to see your reaction to. It's called 'It Knows Me'
Please?
Your dog is so cute!☺☺
Yes ease" It Knows Me"
Just so you know, those low notes, after the first time Mitch went really high, were by Kevin and not Avi. It's unbelievable, I know
Kyle "My Concerns Are Gone" Kholin! xD
This is a cover of a 90's dance/rave song. I would jam put to this when I was a kid maybe 10-12
Was really worried about you, as someone with cluster headaches, I feel for you. Good to see you back.
My favorite original by them is Run to you, its really beautiful, hope you get to react to it!
Glad to see you back! It's been a minute since I commented, but I've been loving the content! I'm glad you're health is back on an upswing and I hope it continues
Welcome back! Hope you're feeling better buddy!
I'll always stick with ya, I love your reactions. Another good one of theirs is "I'm Cracked".. .
I just found it, never heard it before, its great! Have fun at the concert, I am soooo jealous!
Missed your reactions. Glad to hear your feeling better now. As mentioned by the others, Can't Sleep Love is a PTX original that had gotten quite radio airplay. I bet you will love the groove there. Keep up!!
🇵🇭
If you every get merch, it needs to say "My concerns are gone." Haha!
That bass you heard on the chorus wasn't Avi. It was Kevin.
Avi is doing a different part. 😁 (His part is "Imma teach you how to love" and other main sounds and words.)
(P.S. Im in quarantine and looking at different peoples reactions to PTX. Stay healthy!)
When they sing it live avi does help Kevin with the bass, but further on indeed not more! Its amazing
Great reaction! I'm glad you are doing better. I love this song and video. It is one of those older videos where each of them gets to shine. There are some effects, especially on the beatboxing, but they have done this live, and it sound almost the same. If you want an older one with a sense of humor, check out either Gangnam Style or Thrift Shop. Also, if you haven't done it yet, one of my all-time favorite videos of theirs is their original song Can't Sleep Love. The official video is really fun. See you in the next one
I literally was just thinking about how I hadn't seen a notification from you for a bit, when before I even got home to double check my notification settings, you popped up within 5 minutes! So you were missed, and you delivered all within 5 minutes. Your timing rocks!
Please react to Pentatonix song SING it’s so amazing
I clicked as soon as I saw
Now you know why it's so popular!
If you want all originals from PTX, listen to their self titled album. My favs are Can't Sleep Love, Cracked, Misbehavin, Rose Gold.....hell whole flipping album rocks!
