Ironically, Geoff said in his last Patreon chat that he was not expecting people to like or be into his cover of this and that he was still not satisfied with the final version. He finds this song extremely repetitive and boring, yet he made such an epic arrangement! We can all thank Kathy for pushing him to do it 😄
@@MrsRealistic He was worried that people were going to be upset about the fact that he left off some of the verses and really only used one verse of lyrics. Like, my guy, we’re here for the war drums and subharmonics! 😂
This is m favorite Geoff Castellucci song. Geoff did the arrangement, the mixing and the editing, so he did it all. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Geoff's music and arrangements are just profound. I feel so fortunate to be alive at the same time as Geoff, and able to experience (and through Patreon, to also contribute in some small way to) the art that he creates.
Yep, I think your jaw is still on the floor !! Mine was there for a while too !! Amazing performance and your reaction was priceless !! Yeah, get your daughter to react to this one !!
@@MrsRealistic Too true !! I have been listening to this and watching reactions for about a week now and I still get chills when he goes into QUAKE mode !! My jaw is only half as far down as it was before!!
Thanks so much for your emotional reaction. You wept and I laughed. Isn't that amazing. I was overwhelmed by the magnificence of Geoff's beautiful arrangement as were you, but the emotions came out differently. Wonderful music just grabs the soul and takes it to a joyous place. Yes, we are blessed to have such talented artists among us.
Totally understand your reaction... I also had a visceral reaction to this one - as he brought the emotion and incredible musicianship to this very well known song. So beautiful... if Middle Earth ever needed a fitting Christmas song... look no further... Have a great festive season with your family 🎄🎅 - 🌹🕊
I used to have a favorite from Geoff, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Now, I do not have a favorite, except the one I'm listening to at the moment. I love everything about this piece. Would love to see your daughter's reaction! I had a dream the other night, I don't remember anything about it except that my name was on that scroll at the end of one of his songs. Maybe someday!
Thanks for this reaction to Geoff's epic Christmas release. I have run out of superlatives! A five octave vocal range is a powerful thing. I enjoy the way Geoff arranges music nearly as much as his vocals. We all owe Kathy big time for this one as Geoff didn't want to do it! Judging by his album art, the Geoffquakes did some damage.
Check out the cover artwork. It tells you everything you needed to know about Geoff's intentions. The bells were always coming down with his low notes. Brilliant performance!
This song is EPIC ❤ Love his arrangements and I love that he uses instruments and keeps the "only a capella" for VoicePlay 🙏🏼 In this one especially I adored all the different percussion 🫶🏻 And the "middle Geoff" had a way to stare down the camera, like he was going into battle... I literally felt intimidated 😮 I'm not much into all these normal cheesy Christmas songs, but this one... good Lord... I'm listening to it on repeat since it dropped (quite literally 😂) 👍🏻 Thanks for your heartfelt reaction 🫶🏻
@MrsRealistic I said the same 🤣 And then my husband looked at me and said: "Honey, you say that EVERYTIME Geoff drops a new song" 🫣🙈 But he always gets better and better, don't know how he does it 👀🤷🏻♀️ But I think this one will be on 1st place for a long time, it's so beautiful 🥰
@@MrsRealistic The cover art for this song perfectly describes what this version is... shown at the end of the video. 3 bells in ruin after an earthquake!
This is everything i needed.. seeing u and listening to Geoff.. this is the best thing ever Please bring mini realistic with u and let her listen to this.. we need her reaction too!❤❤
That was the best reaction! Because it was the same as mine! I was completely caught off guard and I didn't move for about 5 minutes after I first heard it. Then I replayed it sooo many times 😂. My family are Witches so we celebrate Yule (Winter Solstice) so one day I'm hoping Geoff/Voiceplay will do a song for us Pagans 😊. And YES I would love to see Pheonix and you do a reaction to this!! Merry Christmas darlin!! All the love and good juju to you and your family!❤❤❤
I've heard this a number of times, so I was really here for YOUR reaction. I was not disappointed! I loved it when Geoff does that first super-low sequence. That jaw drop was pretty special! With this song, I think the emotion is NOT because of lyrics or some profound message.... It's the beauty of the sounds. Geoff's voice is always amazing, but he outdid himself here. The instrumental tracks he chose, the percussion, all just make it an emotional experience. Thank you for yet ANOTHER great reaction!!
Carol of the Bells by Geoff is like nothing you've ever heard before. Geoff is an extraordinary arranger, stunning. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours. I can honestly say that this is my very favorite version of Carol of the Bells. Geoff's White Christmas is a joy to watch and listen to.
I've always been on the fence about this carol. Partly because Andre's Cold Duck used it as their theme song in the 70s when I had my first taste of illicit alcohol on a Boy Scout camping trip (I was 13). The guilt at hearing this was real. 😂 But Geoff's version is unworldly.
Pretty darn awesome! I think my favorite will always be the 1847 classic O HOLY NIGHT!! Like to hear his version of that! Does he have one?? Great Job!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼🎄
Ooooh, yes, I'd love to see Phoenix react to this! Fantastic reaction, you were having a "Deadgrl Superstar" reaction, she tears up at a lot of videos, it's so cute. But this one really hits home, Geoff went all in. This is my second favorite Christmas Carol, and this is my favorite singing version. If you're interested, my number one is called "Candlelight Carol,'' few have heard of it, but I recommend listening to it, just for your own enjoyment. I'm not religious, but I still enjoy the imagery. I recommend John Rutter version, preferably with the Tabernacle Choir. It's on Spotify. Several artists do a solo version, including Michael Crawford, but since we sang it in choir in high school, I like the choral ones best. Happy holidays! Or is it "Holi-daze," thanks to Geoff? ❤💚
@@MrsRealistic Sure, always happy to share lovely music! Let me know what you think! Our choir sang it four years in a row at the 1000 Voice Choir at Disneyland. We sang with a bunch of other choirs, and sang as someone told the Christmas story. One year the narrator was s- faced drunk, which drove my choir teacher nuts. Oh, but one year it was Jame Earl Jones! And I only almost fainted the first year! (Don't lock your knees while singing and standing! LOL!)❤💚
This is a video of ⚡️THE WARNING⚡️ and their mgr Rudy playing/singing "Jingle Bell Rock"! So much fun ua-cam.com/video/07YOcKmGNIk/v-deo.htmlsi=ZD8JAbNiOROFmLex
Can i make a request? If so, can you do a reaction to sunday in the south by Shenandoah ft jason aldean and luke bryan music video? Sunday in the south is a Shenandoah hit from the 80s or early 90s and they decided to remake it with jason and luke and they all absolutely slayed this beautiful remake.

Bravo Kathy! Boy was his assessment of the reaction incorrect! This is in my top two favorite Geoff songs!

Now my christmas wish has been fulfilled. You have done voiceplays and Geoffs christmas covers. Always a pleasure to see your reactions.❤
Thanks Chris! Happy Christmas 🎄

Agree 100%!
Geoff " The Dragon " Castellucci strikes again!!!
No kidding!! 😆 🙌
Over 800K views in 2 weeks, it’s pretty epic! ❤
I'm not surprised... it's unreal!!
Totally understand your reaction... I also had a visceral reaction to this one - as he brought the emotion and incredible musicianship to this very well known song. So beautiful... if Middle Earth ever needed a fitting Christmas song... look no further...
Have a great festive season with your family 🎄🎅 - 🌹🕊
Your explanation is spot on! Who knew you could mix classic Christmas music with Lord of the Rings!?
Geoff and the Geoffettes pulled out all the stops for this Christmas! Its clear that their effort struck home! Thank you for the great reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it! This was truly epic!
If you bring out this kind of emotions when listening to song that's amazing Geoff is an amazing talent.Thank you for the video. 🙂
I used to have a favorite from Geoff, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Now, I do not have a favorite, except the one I'm listening to at the moment. I love everything about this piece. Would love to see your daughter's reaction!

I'll hope for that for you as well! 😁 Happy Christmas 🎄
Beautiful reaction to a stunning piece. Geoff has outdone himself.
Couldn't agree more! Spectacular! The song I mean...😄

He might have cracked the earth on this one!
I was HOPING you’d get to this soon!!!! I just got your notification, so haven’t even watched the reaction yet! 😅
Hope you enjoy it!

@MrsRealistic I said the same 🤣 And then my husband looked at me and said: "Honey, you say that EVERYTIME Geoff drops a new song" 🫣🙈
But he always gets better and better, don't know how he does it 👀🤷🏻♀️
But I think this one will be on 1st place for a long time, it's so beautiful 🥰
😄 So true!
Geoff made this song majestically beautiful. Your reaction was just as beautiful. Thank you and Merry Merry Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much! I agree 100%! Happy Christmas 🎄

What a masterpiece, eh? Wow. The arrangement, the vocals, and the video itself.
No Kidding...definitely a masterpiece!
Thank you for sharing this true moment of appreciation for Geoff's craft with us! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Happy Christmas to you too!

That you! Yes, it was visceral...no control over the emotions that poured you! Epic arrangement and music choices!
Thank you for your lovely reaction.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Merry Christmas and remember to also subscribe to Geoff. Trying to get him to a million for Christmas 🎁.
I've been subscribed for a good while! I never want to miss anything! 😁🙌

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for your reaction.
Happy Christmas to you as well!
You already know when Geoff, Jeffrey, Djeph, Jefferson and J.F. all come together for a song, it's going to be a banger.
🤣🙌
Wonderful reaction
Thank you 😊
Carol of the Bells by Geoff is like nothing you've ever heard before. Geoff is an extraordinary arranger, stunning. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
I can honestly say that this is my very favorite version of Carol of the Bells. Geoff's White Christmas is a joy to watch and listen to.
Thank you! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Powerful, beautiful, epic as we always expect from Geoff. I do have to say this sounds like Xmas at the Villain's lair 😁 Nice reaction Mrs. Realistic.
Perfect analogy!
You should also listen to Geoff's rendition of "Mele Kalikimaka" or add it to your list
Thanks for the suggestion! 😁
@MrsRealistic your welcome! Also boiceplay has a ton of Christmas songs covers that are great if you haven't seen them yet
Thank you for another great reaction, always a joy & can never go wrong with Geoff. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas / Holiday season
Thank you! You too!

Your "What Was That?" face when Geoff goes into the depths was exactly how I think mine felt.
It was just too much! But in a good way!
wonderful reaction, thanks!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Pretty darn awesome! I think my favorite will always be the 1847 classic O HOLY NIGHT!! Like to hear his version of that! Does he have one?? Great Job!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼🎄
Have you seen Home Free’s version of Oh Holy Night? Tim Foust wrote the arrangement when he was only 19.
@DennisKovacich Never heard of. Thanks!! I shall scope! ☮️
@@allengray5748, If you like Geoff and VoicePlay, you’ll probably like Home Free as well.

Hi. I have a Christmas recommendation ...
the song title is "Music Box Blues" ... by Trans Siberian Orchestra ( also known as T. S. O )
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🌿🌿⛄🌿🌿❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
The trans siberian orchestra does one of my favorite renditions of Carol of the bells!
@MrsRealistic I know it well ❤️🩹 Geoff's version is absolutely stunning!!!! 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
