Poor mermaids, they don't get hot chocolate! Seaweed tea, maybe. Yuck! So what is your favorite brand of hot chocolate? I like Stephen's and other ones I can't afford. Do you prefer hot chocolate or drinking chocolate? Sorry, I'm curious. And the video ended, so now a bit bored, not hearing all the lovely voices, including yours, anymore! I can't wait for the next Geoff or VoicePlay reaction!🤎
@@DravenGal I've never had a Stephens! Just had to google it. Looks yummy I have a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser that I use. I don't drink coffee so I guess this is my coffee machine replacement There are loads of different flavours to choose from so the hot choccy donations go towards these. You can buy big packs or sachets, and you pour them into the machine with milk. My most recent flavour is a new one - a limited edition called "Love Ya Honey". As a kid I used to love hot milk and honey and this tastes remarkably similar to that... Other favourite flavours are: mint, hazelnut praline, chilli dark But the best hot choccie I've ever had would be in the snowy mountains of a country in Europe (where my family is from which I'm keeping a secret for now, you know to be mysterious and all that ). It just hit different.
I absolutely love Voiceplay's ability to tell a story, theatrically or not. That was Geoff's first F1 in chest voice. After they did Nothing Else Matters, Chicago invited then to join them in concert, November 2023. Omar joined then for that gig. Eli was about to become a father. J None was there, ready to step in if Eli had to fly home. My favorite thing about them is that they are best friends/family. Great reaction, loved catching your grins on the juicy chords!
Voiceplay always does such a great job with all of their arrangements. Very much enjoy all of your videos, but this group always makes me smile and seeing them listed for your reaction/analysis is an added bonus. Many thanks!
Hooray, more VoicePlay! I love your analyses of their work (and Geoff solo) and have watched 100% of them; several multiple times. My ears love the way that Geoff arranges music and you always help me understand why.
9:38 “This one is definitely about the storytelling. … Cesar is very good at this, I think.” Agreed! Cesar’s performances in Creep, Total Eclipse of the Heart, and especially in I Can’t Make You Love Me are transcendent!
Thanks for your reaction, I always appreciate your analysis 🫶🏻 Knew the version of Thin Lizzy and Metallica, but for me, VoicePlay knocked that one out of the park... AGAIN 🤩🤷🏻♀️ Someone in another comment section said, that VP doesn't do covers, they do UPGRADES and I agree 100% 🎉
Always love your reactions. Even better when they are to a VoicePlay masterpiece. They are such great storytellers, one of the reasons I am besotted by them. They also do a fabulous cover of Tenessee Whisky, lots of riffs.
Awesome reaction. Thank you very much. Geoff's voice is phenomenal and together they make beautiful music. Voiceplay 's rendition of Wellerman is one of my favourites.
That was my first VoicePlay song! YT pushed it in my timeline, l liked it a lot and checked out their channel, the rest is history as they say. So yeah, The Wellerman will always have a special place in my VoicePlay loving heart!😉
Omar has such a beautiful voice. It was fun seeing the judges fighting over him on The Voice I like this more every time I hear it, it’s really catchy. Eli’s rock tenor was well suited for the word Whiskey IMO and Geoff sang his lowest chest note, F1. Thank you for your wonderful analysis as always!
I never really cared about like the technicality of music or the arrangement and background that you don't immediately hear, but for some reason your videos make me wanna learn about it. I watched one just for the heck of it, I've been bingeing every since. Love it man
I’m old enough that the only one I remember is Peter Paul and Mary’s version!! it took me a few times to figure out why it sounded familiar because it is very different. And it finally clicked.😊
The word captioned as "musha" is the actually the Irish word "muise" and is an exclamation of "well" or "indeed," and is followed by the Irish equivalent of scat singing - it's all nonsense verbiage. "Whack for my daddy-o" would be said while holding up the jar of whiskey, essentially saying "Here's a shot for me" Geoff sings a fantastic gravelly F1 chest - a new chest low for him (so far), and Eli's great D5s! If you're interested in the traditional tempo for this song, check out this video of Merry Mischief at the Sterling Renaissance Festival (please ignore the somewhat off singing of the person filming the video) ua-cam.com/video/nR-9buZLNJ8/v-deo.html
Didn't expect to see this one, but definitely thoroughly enjoy your reaction & analysis!! I do appreciate the close harmonies in this one a lot!! And Eli and Omar showing off their riffs and runs are wonderful addition to this song!!
As always thank you for your awesome R&A! It's taken me a minute to warm up to this one but, I still enjoy it because it's VP!!😂 After hearing your analysis I'm giving it another chance! Thanks again!
This is one of their "cool" just "sitting there & singing" - ones. The more concentrated on their wonderful harmonies and the incredible abilities of every single guy... 🎉😂❤ Loved your smile in the end... 🥰
As a patron of VoicePlay, I have to admit... in all the times I've listened to this since it dropped to us on Patreon, then was released here on UA-cam, I don't think I ever registered that second F1 at the end. Even funnier to realize Geoff didn't seem to think of the F1 being a big deal.
When this first came out, it was on the lower end for me, and it's still not a favorite, but it's really grown on me. I even find myself singing it from time to time, it is an earworm. LOL, when I first heard it, I forgot to turn on the subtitles, and I thought they were saying "Whack for my Daddio!" I remember thinking "Wait, Daddio is a American 1950s term, how is it in an old Irish Folk Song?" Then I realized it was "Whack for my Daddy, oh!" Which means "Have a drink on my Da!" Da, being a term for "Dad." Hmmmm, I wonder how far back the term "Daddy" goes? Anyway, fun reaction, as usual! I appreciate the song even more now! Thanks!🤎
🐎🐎🐎 .... funky reaction Sir Hairless. This song has such a unique feel. The harmonies are quite yummy. I am very glad that you have continued on reacting to Voiceplay. On a personal note : I really hope you continue on reacting to Home Free as well. Your reaction to "Man Of Constant Sorrow" is now one of my all time favorites on UA-cam. Thank you for bringing the good stuff ..... 🐎🐎🐎
Definitely a catchy one! Found myself singing it all evening after filming this Wow thank you so much, means a lot! 🙏 Yes I'll keep reacting to them, just (as with any artist) the more new artists I react to, the fewer 'slots' for existing artists. Unless of course they're Patreon requests, which VoicePlay are currently consistently getting
Before those check the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, also Roger Whittaker from Nairobi, Kenya but a great folksinger in the 60s and 70s, died at 87 2 yrs ago: "Durham Town", "The Last Farewell", "New World in the Morning, "Skye Boat Song, "I Don't Belief in If Anymore, and "Wind Beneath My Wings". All of these are gorgeous. The first time I heard it was when I was 11 (1962) when my great-uncle George Houlihan - he and my Auntie Grace came down from Connecticut (Grace was a maid for the well-to-do families who came down to Florida in the winter, so she and George beat feet for Florida too. My new adopted dad had been a bartender before going to work for Lockheed at Cape Canaveral, had built a bar in the living room (he missed bartending) and had some whiskey for Uncle George. When he drained it, he started this song. Silly me, I thought he was singing for me, but no. This was his plea, singing this song and needing a refill from Dad. Whiskey in the Jar.
This was a funkyaa video that brought me a wave of good mood and kept me smiling from the slower pat on your pretty hairlessness at the beginning to all that ‘dum-a-doo-dum-a-da’ fun full of SH’s smiles and giggles; thanks! :) And now I think I understood the reason behind the unexpected query on Patreon involving Metallica’s version of this song… it’s indeed a very famous and iconic/catchy version of ‘Whiskey in the jar’, but I imagine it’s not the best representation of this important band discography (also, that music video brings many of those 90’s ideas related to how to party as hard as you can)… Well, that’s only a personal opinion coming from someone who is not a whiskey person and is more into some wine once in a blue moon; cheers, Sir!🍷
Even though I didn't care for VoicePlay's version of this song (probably because I grew up with the Irish traditional music style rather than having heard the versions by Thin Lizzie or Metallica) I knew I'd enjoy listening to your analysis of it! Thank you for sharing your insights with us, Sir Hairless.
I really appreciate the additional background information you provide on different songs. Like when you explained about the dwarf song that was only in a book and was later given a sound by a group. I never would have known about them. I didn't even know the other versions of this song.
I was a child when Thin Lizzy brought this one out and it's always been my favourite until I heard VP's version. They're both great in their own right.
What a fun and funkaaaay song! I enjoyed seeing you having fun and getting a giggle. The tongue-tied bit was amusing as well. I'll probably be humming something about dum a doo mushy rains all afternoon 😂😂😂
Nice arrangement indeed! Calm and deceptively simple, But we know that Voiceplay's arrangements are anything but simple. I really liked the beautiful harmonies and rock Eli shinning along with Omar Cardona in the belting. Thank you so much for the analysis of this piece.🙏It was amazing as always and really helped me better understand the creativity and complexity hiding beneath the surface..
Yeah. This song is a lot like The Highwayman (which loreena mckennitt does a great version). It's nice to have them just sit and sing sometimes. We even got Layne adding a lot of harmony since they waited to add the percussion.
First I have to say I like the Metalicas version but being an a Capella junkie I like this one very much!! ❤R/A🎼 BTW Avi Kaplans Patreon is very good. He is so down to earth and natural.
I was planning on doing it! But I've received some messages about the video which has put some doubts in my mind. I don't want to lose loyal viewers over a reaction video... So I guess we'll see! Maybe one day down the line, and I might do a different Metallica song in its place 🎸
@ Metallica is still my favorite band of all time! If I could suggest just a few of their songs/videos…? “One” official video is an absolute masterpiece for the metal genre and is actually about a true story of a severely wounded soldier in WW1. Their live performance of “Enter Sandman” in Moscow, Russia from 1991 after the fall of the iron curtain is a favorite to many fans (and reactors). There was 1.6 million fans that attended that show! It’s hard to imagine 1.6M people together anywhere. It’s truly incredible! My last Metallica suggestion for you specifically would be any performance from their 1999 album “S & M” (San Francisco Symphony & Metallica). It was a beautiful blend of two worlds.❤️
I’m old enough to remember both The Kingston Trio’s and PP&M’s covers of this old, traditional song. Initially, VP’s cover confused me because of differing lyrics, rhythms, & harmonies. But … these are VP trademarks. I’ve learned to love this version. Thank you for your usual excellent analysis. BTW Can you explain why, on this side of the pond, whiskey is spelled with an “e”; but on your side, it’s spelled whisky?
You made me curious, so I had another look - so many other well-known artists/groups have interpreted this song as well (including Roger Whittaker, Gary Moore, Grateful Dead, Bryan Adams, Rednex, ...) I like the ones by Smokie, Thin Lizzy and Celtic Thunder best; the ones by Metallica or Bryan Adams are not my cup of tea to be honest. Thanks for this one in many ways: Interesting analyses (as always!), but I also had to smile a lot today, I was very entertained by your reaction - starting with your slightly different tapping on the head (I'm obviously pretty easy to amuse😂) right through to the lyrics that will be buzzing around in your head when you go to bed - and now probably in mine too 😅
Love this. Have you ever reacted to any barbershop? A friend of mine is an outstanding singer and, outside of his status of Legend in the barbershop community, doesn't get the recognition he deserves, in my opinion. Would you please do a reaction video of his rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water? The arrangement was actually written by Ben Bram, the gentleman who has arranged tons of songs for Pentatonix. ua-cam.com/video/-1kMUCauJZs/v-deo.htmlsi=yPdio9ZuevpIxgRO
I really liked this one. Odd, because these kinds of songs are usually not as appealing to me. Thank you, dear Sir for giving us very different music to listen to.😊
You really really really need to react to The Bass Gangs cover of The Dragonborn Comes. Four bass singers with great ranges (you've already reacted to Tomi P) and a guest countertenor. Please?
Also The Misty Mountains by them. That is one of my favorites. That one is a great collaboration of other bass singers along with the regular members of the Bass Gang. It's great.
Vocally great performance, loved the Thin Lizzy cover and Metallica is great on principle, but I much prefer the folk versions by the Dubiners, The Corries, The McCalmans ... it just fits the song better, in my opinion. Nice analysis, though. 🙂
If you like mermaids, check out my previous VoicePlay video next 🧜♀ua-cam.com/video/_ujnZCtTTRY/v-deo.html
Who doesn’t love mermaids?? 🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️
@@thisismetoday7423 Sharks? No, wait, they probably love them...for lunch.😱🤎

@ I sent you the UA-cam link to his audition if you want it to be a surprise! Otherwise scroll down…
He picked John Legend!

❤ your facial expressions when listening to a song. Another great analysis
Try their version of "Carry On Wayward Son"- great arrangement and Omar as a guest again. Plus a lot of views from Supernatural fandom guaranteed :D

Thank you! For this a&r and for your smile🥰.
"Man in the mirror" is also an interesting and beautiful, beautiful Version from VP.
The boys are literally on 🔥 in this one and I don't even really vibe with this song normally. 😅 Always happy to hear what you think!

I love this one ❤Everyone is just amazing. A real earworm 😊
Yep; that refrain will play in your head for a while. And; LOL Eli with the enthusiasm.....
Before Voiceplay’s version, my favorite was the Irish Rovers. (Seems like most everybody has sung it at on time or another!)
There actually is a very fun version of this song by the Irish group Celtic Thunder. Might want to give them a go 😊
Celtic Thunder is def my favorite of all time!!! I love all of their music. Spectacular!!
@ you’re right. I’ve loved them for over 20 years. Actually can’t believe it’s been this long. I found them in 2002. Crazy how time flys.
As much as I like Voiceplay, I much prefer the Celtic Thunder version.
