    Everyone loves Rock God Geoff, but one of the moments in this arrangement I really appreciate earlier in the track is that when the back up Geoffs come in for "writing songs that" and then drop out for "voices never shared", so that no other voices were sharing the song with Geoff. It's not the only time the back up vocals dip in and out, but I think when they do it there it's really special.

    Geoff sent out an instrumental track to his patrons. That low Jurassic Park sound is NOT Geoff, it is instrumental. The vocals are all Geoff, he is amazing! There are basses who can sing lower than him and some who can sing higher. But it is the quality of the sound, it's rich, it's smooth, it's gorgeous.
    Geoff has said that when he is covering a song, he listens to the original over and over, then every cover that he can find. If he can't add something different, he walks away. Why do something that's already been done, right?
    He had help with the lighting and camera work on this one, but everything else is him.
    Great reaction, Bob!! Be prepared for the one that drops this Friday!
    Oh, and Voiceplay dropped Valhalla Calling last week. Do it now!

    Eli did the lighting since it changes during the song and Layne did the Steadi-Cam. Geoff only uses his clones on his solos. While Simon and Garfunkel's version resides on my top shelf - have loved it for over 55 years. I wish that S&G had been awarded Nobel Laureate status for the pure poetry of their music. I heard Disturbed's version but it felt one dimensional to me. Both S&G and Geoff really played into the emotional content of this. I love Geoff's arrangement of this and since he released it, I've listened to nearly every day. Thanks for reacting!

    @Cordelia53 Рік тому +12

    I heard it described really well. The OG was the warning, Disturbed's version was the anger, and Geoff's version is the sadness and reflection afterwards. Every time I listen to this cover, I cry. It touches my soul, and I feel like a am seeing the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. Absolutely amazing cover. Some one added in that PTX cover is the pleading. Great reaction!

    Delighted to see your response. Love this so much - love Disturbed, but it's like two entirely different songs, for different moods. Geoff's ability to find musical lines that I never would have guessed were there simply blows me away. BTW - VoicePlay's newest, Valhalla Calling - is simply mind-bending. They just don't stop getting better.

    A unique and beautiful rendition. Geoff brings sadness and angst to the song. That low note is something electronic added, not his voice. Obviously his backup Geoffs would not be appropriate to the song, but we hear them anyway in parts. Yes it's all him. Any help will be credited in the notes below the title. I think Eli helped with lights, for sure. Geoff always thanks his patrons. He's incredibly humble and sweet.

    The original came out when I was in college and it will always be my favorite. But this joins a couple of others on my "pretty close" list - the duet by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust and the trio of The Hound and the Fox with Adam Chance. All 3 are great - and totally different from each other. Yes, all the voices are Geoff. That deep rumble, whatever it is, just nibbles at the back of my brain.

  • @MiladyMacabre

    That very low rumble is a plug-in sound, as are all the wonderful little background sounds creating the "sound of silence" in different verses. Geoff arranged, produced, performed, and edited the video, providing all the voices, playing the piano, bringing in all the other instruments. Eli did the subtle lighting for this; the lights raising and lowering of intensity as if Geoff was walking down the sidewalk beneath street lamps, the purple splash neon, the bright lights as Geoff pleads with people not to make the same mistake they already made - brilliant! Layne was the steadicam operator, and it was shot at PattyCake Productions studio. Geoff is wonderfully humble and is genuinely grateful for all of his supporters. I am very proud to be one of his patrons, as well as being a VoicePlay patron.

    VoicePlay's most recent release is Valhalla Calling Me which is from Assassins Creed. It is BY FAR their GREATEST VIDEO EVER. They just keep surpassing themselves. I don't see that you have reacted to My Mother Told Me which has the same characters. Geoff does a fair imitation of a Viking War Horn. These are VIKING themed songs and can be watched separately but Geoff's arrangement, Layne's beatboxing, Eli and his Rock God voice, Cesar adding some grit and leaning into the whole Viking theme..... Then JNone is back with them for this song and he shines and drops nearly EVERYONE's jaw with a surprise near the end.

Gave it a few more "listens" -- It's absolutely BRILLIANT!!! And Yes! Geoff has worked hard over the last so many years to get that "sound" -- and oh damn it's good. Be Safe

I would say Guilhem Desq is very different from the other artist you have reacted to.
