When I saw that J.None was leaving, I wondered what this would do to the band; acapella is a tough gig, since it's neither mainstream nor popular, aside from a brief stint in the form of barbershop about a hundred years ago. Voiceplay carved out a niche and they've nestled into it very nicely, but J.None was a big part of their energy; a very unique voice in a very a place where 'standing out' is vital to success. And then they brought in Cesar. And... he wasn't J.None, but, he very quickly established himself as having his own sort of energy; he brought a unique flavor to the group. I say that not to make comparisons; not at all. I say that because of how -quickly- he established his uniqueness. ... and I say all of -that- because even now, we are seeing Cesar continue to paint new pictures with his colors. He hit the ground running and he's been at a sprint ever since. It's... astonishing. We've seen him be silly, we've seen him be powerful, we've seen him be playful... and now we've seen him be heart-breakingly, full-body-chillingly melancholy. Voiceplay could not have picked a better addition.
That song hit me similarly when I first heard it (and the second time, might even have happened the third, but I don't want to talk about it.) Cesar really breaks my heart when I watch this. I feel sad for the sadness shown by the others, but Cesar's looks make me just frantic to try to comfort him. Anything, food, threats of violence to whoever hurt him, hugs, chocolate, tissues... anything, just to try to make him less sad. (But I still love the song.)
Sound idea of not overdoing the makeup for this one 😂 it does stir the emotions up quite a bit! Lovely to see you reacting sympathetically with the composition and mood of the piece, very nice reaction! 💖💕💖
I cried right along with you. It is heartbreakingly poignant and gorgeous. This is one of my top 3 maybe top song period. I live in the woods of North Florida less than 2 miles from Georgia. I hear cicadas, tree frogs, crickets, and watch fireflies.
One of my favorite songs to cry to done by my favorite acapella group reacted to by my favorite UA-camr. It's a trifecta. I hoped you would react to this one and you didn't disappoint, Ashley. Thank you for everything you do. Truly. It means more than you know.
I'm back for another round with you. One of my kitties a half Bengal/half tortoiseshell came up and wrapped her arms around my neck kneading on the side of my neck and put her forehead on my voicebox while I was singing along with them.
Hey, I just wanted to say, you could do me and many others a favor by reaction to Rammstein with their song “Ausländer”. But please react to the live version from Berlin in 2019. It’s fanmade but there’s a little something at the end of the Video, that would probably make you smile. :)
Cesar picked the song and Geoff did the arrangement. Geoff said he wept during the editing process.
It just proves that Geoff has a tender heart and a loving nature.
Your cat can sense that you're sad. He just wants to comfort you. 😺

I am just hoping this gets more views. To me it is one of the most beautiful songs they have done.

The cat meowing, the looks you gave..just precious!!! Lol made an otherwise sad reaction, somewhat festive..😊
I knew as soon as I was you were watching this you were going to cry your heart out. It is a very emotional and beautiful song by Voiceplay.
it was very emotional and we got Layne singing as well as your pussycat having a cry as well! 🏴
Sound idea of not overdoing the makeup for this one 😂 it does stir the emotions up quite a bit!

OK THIS ONE HIT ME IN THE FEELS!!! As a guy that's hard to say!!!! PS Ash I hate to see you cry!!! It Hits me!!!!
That song was much sadder than I anticipated
I cried right along with you. It is heartbreakingly poignant and gorgeous. This is one of my top 3 maybe top song period. I live in the woods of North Florida less than 2 miles from Georgia. I hear cicadas, tree frogs, crickets, and watch fireflies.
Ashley, seeing you react, I just wanted to hold your face and comfort you.
Such a Powerfully emotional performance. Fantastic harmonies. So well done it's easy to forget that there are no instruments.
I love this arrangement! I love that Layne gets to sing through the whole thing! ❤ They all killed me with this!! 💔❤
Loved your reaction ❤🤗 I reacted the exact same way sweetie. This is absolutely breathtaking
I'm going through exactly that situation so this hits me hard. It's a hard listen. But beautiful.
I love love love your reactions! And it was Cesar's idea to do the song and what a great song for them to do. Can't wait for your next video! Ml
Kitteh!!!! I love kitties. All the vocals on this are so good and the harmonies are beautiful. But Cesar is the one who broke my heart 💔
Beautiful song done very well.
Your reactions are always so emotional and heartfelt.
Fantastic reaction. Would love for you to react to ‘Run To You’ by Pentatonix. Hits you in the feels much the same way!
Cicadas and tree frogs are right up my alley. You are lovely anyway even without makeup.
I've been waiting for your reaction since the video came out. Great song, great reaction, great everything.
Beautiful reaction, Ashley. This one effected me in much the same way.

If you check the credits........."Mr. Subwoofer" arranged this,......just for you Ashley!...>^^
Oh Ashley...I grabbed a box of tissues too. As always they hit it out of the park. Methinks your kitties were throwing in their 2 cents.
Cesar made me cry also, but I always keep a tissue near.
The cat needs to work on its pitch if it wants to sing along with VP.
Is there any genre of song that they CAN'T sing?
Ashley, cuddle that poor kitty!
I'm back for another round with you. One of my kitties a half Bengal/half tortoiseshell came up and wrapped her arms around my neck kneading on the side of my neck and put her forehead on my voicebox while I was singing along with them.
Also check out the cover by Teddy Swims - it's outstanding.
U should react to hi ren... by ren

I dont mind this version i just prefer teddy swims cover, i hate the sound of cicades it rings in my ears even after they have stopped
Bonnie Raitt does a better version
