Scott and Mitch were the main writers of this track which is why they sing lead. Kirstin had plenty of leads on this album though, so no reason to worry. :)
Also, even when she doesn't get a lead/solo part, Kirstin always rocks the background harmonies. She's a big reason those "instrumental background" parts are so good. Mitch and Scott are also excellent in that role, but over their 10 years as Pentatonix, Kirstin in particular has been essential in the background track.
I’m so glad you pointed out that transition near the end by Kevin (so many reactors miss it). Kirstie has so many leads on this originals album, I’m glad Scott and Mitch got this one. It reminds me so much of Superfruit. They even used the same room as Deny U by Superfruit.
Very much a Superfruit vibe on this! I think that many of the songs on this album could have just as easily been on a solo project album for each of them, (or Superfruit for ScoMiche). One of the things that makes PTX so great is that they bring the same feel and passion to the group, even if they're only doing background on a particular song, as they do for their lead solos and individual projects.
Fantastic Reaction! The person who brings you coffee in bed really does care for you, no matter what! Since this is an album celebrating their first decade together, I see this one as a nod to Superfruit; Scott and Mitch. Mitch in the rafters! Amazing harmonies! And apparently Kevin acquired a steel drum!!!! The room changes to reflect each member which is really cool. They’ve worked hard to stay together and all the while respecting & promoting each other’s strengths. Here’s to the next decade!
Kirstin is filling the whole middle of the song!! Scott and Mitch highlight this one!! Kevin and Matt are special on this track!! this is now one of my favorites, just the whole this was masterful!!
I LOVE this song! This is definitely one of their best songs ever, and the fact that it is a PTX original makes it even that much better. Kevin and Matt SLAY and the trio are FIRE as always. Thanks for reacting to it.
This song, if memory serves, was recorded during the time Kirsten was in New York doing Kinky Boots. Her rehearsal schedule, and performance schedule, were nuts, so she didn't have a lot of time or energy to put into PXT. So, she took a "break" on certain songs. Now, you have to understand, here idea of a "break" is "just" doing backing tracks on a few songs. Lol. Anyway, great reaction, man, as always. Thank you for putting the effort, which I have some idea of how much it really takes to put out these videos, into making this content. I would really love to see you react to PTX's cover of Gold when you have the chance. Avi is in that one, and if you think Kevin and Matt are tight, you have GOT to hear those two, and, for me, that is the absolute best showcase of what it is they did so well!
Agree that on this song, Kirstin is holding down the middle rather than the lead. But on the album this song is between 2 songs that she leads. Love this whole album and so glad you’re featuring!!!
Yeeaaah, I wanna hear about the lack of Mitch through Kirstin's songs now, tbh. Of the soloists on The Lucky Ones, he has the least leads on the album and when he has them they aren't getting the videos.
So I feel like on these Original albums each song is written by different members so sometimes Kirstin won’t get much shine but Be My Eyes was All Kirstin so it kinda balances out lmao Man you should really start from the beginning with The Sing-Off. Their first performance there is actually their first Ever live performance as a whole group. Watch those 12 or 13 performances in a row and see how good they were from the jump and how far they’ve come. It’ll give you a whole new respect for these amazing people 🤘🔥
This was written by Scott and Mitch with a professional song writer. Kirsten was singing back ground. She does not need to be featured in every song. All of them are background in some performances even Mitch from time to time.
Every PTX member does not have a solo or lead in every song. They take turns depending on what is best for the songs. When not soloing or leading, they all are doing effects, harmonies, and backgrounds. I understand your pain as I favor Kirstin. Mitch fans feel the same way about Mitch. Recommend their Rather Be (Kirstin lead), Cheerleader, Come Along, Be My Eyes (Kirstin lead), and Thank You. A great Kirstin lead is Water from the Popspring 2016 concert. Their whole 4 song set is worth reviewing. Kirstin has been writing many songs and has writing credits for Water and Be My Eyes.
This song has Kirstin maintaining more of the "instrumental" and ambient musical effects. She is not taking lead but her role is integral, just like Kevin and Matt. Don't forget the arrangement is not just beat and lead vocals. This song falls apart without her amazing performance. No one says why don't Kevin or Matt have a solo if they don't take lead. If you listen carefully she is laying out music just as challenging as the others.
I've heard that he has specific sounds he makes that he can either use to breathe in or breathe out (depending on the sounds) and that they write those in when writing the arrangements. So he can basically continually make sounds and breathe at the same time. Wild!
That drop by Kevin is one of my favorite parts of this song, and you don't hear it in the version that they did "Live on the Late Late Show", so I am really glad you listened to this version! Check out Be My Eyes or Love Me When I don't for more Kirsten off of the new album. Both are Kirsten-ful!! Loved your reaction to this one - keep 'em comin' please!!!
Kirstie wrote or co-wrote half of the songs on this album (The Lucky Ones, which is made up entirely of original songs), but not this one. She takes lead or co-lead on all the songs she wrote, so she's featured prominently throughout the album. Be My Eyes and Love Me When I Don't are two of her highlights on the album. Basically, whoever wrote the songs took the lead on them. This one is a Scott/Mitch co-write. This past week, they released a deluxe edition of the album which features a lot of bonus tracks.
Thanks for another great reaction. I really like reactors I can learn something from and you do a great job pointing out things I would have never heard on my own. You get an automatic thumbs up every time.
Loved this, thank you. You show so much respect for their talent and I love that you actually listen and appreciate the lyrics which was so very apparent in your traction to A Little Space. Looking forward to the next one :)
This is my favorite song on the original album, and ties with Anchor as favorite on the deluxe version. And as much as I am a huge Mitch fan, and I love them all in this, Kevin totally blew me away the most! I love the little break Kevin does near the end!
Scott and Mitch were the main writers of this track which is why they sing lead.
Kirstin had plenty of leads on this album though, so no reason to worry. :)
Ah ok thank you for the heads up!

This song just LIVES in those subtle spaces and it just makes it such a damn vibe.

Your ptx reactions are the highlight of my day!
This is one of my favorite comments of all time. Thank YOU!
Agreed - love this guy, his reactions make my day too :)

No. This song was done in 2020. Kirstie was on Broadway in 2018. Kirstie has lead on a lot of songs on the recent albums.
Kirstin
Agree that on this song, Kirstin is holding down the middle rather than the lead. But on the album this song is between 2 songs that she leads. Love this whole album and so glad you’re featuring!!!

@@rue5193 Yes, me too!
Kevin is phenomenal on this song! And Kirstie is handling all the underlying harmonies!

Kevin’s beatboxing was off the charts in this video!! Great reaction!

Kevin and Matt are FIRE on this!! Can't figure out how Kevin breathes during this!! 😅 😅 😅
I've heard that he has specific sounds he makes that he can either use to breathe in or breathe out (depending on the sounds) and that they write those in when writing the arrangements. So he can basically continually make sounds and breathe at the same time. Wild!
Coffee in bed is one of my favorites. Kevin and Matt killed it. (As I was typing this, you said the exact same thing 😂)
That drop by Kevin is one of my favorite parts of this song, and you don't hear it in the version that they did "Live on the Late Late Show", so I am really glad you listened to this version! Check out Be My Eyes or Love Me When I don't for more Kirsten off of the new album. Both are Kirsten-ful!! Loved your reaction to this one - keep 'em comin' please!!!
He already did Love Me When I Don't! It's a great reaction. :)
Not going to lie, every time I hear this song I can’t not hear Kirstin leading with Scott but Mitch fits so good too. I feel you on that.

This was my favorite from their new original album :-)
For me Matt sounds like a cello in this track.
Thanks for another great reaction. I really like reactors I can learn something from and you do a great job pointing out things I would have never heard on my own. You get an automatic thumbs up every time.
This tune deserved radio play!!!! I don’t get it at all. It’s better than half the 💩 I hear. I’ll never understand. 😏
It's considered a capella and because it has a capella in the title it won't get air play except maybe Christmas music?
Personally I think this was supposed to be a super song and that may be why Scott and Mitch led it.
Loved this, thank you. You show so much respect for their talent and I love that you actually listen and appreciate the lyrics which was so very apparent in your traction to A Little Space. Looking forward to the next one :)

Kirstin is laying down the background doo doo doos
I knew you'd love this! Kevin and Matt are AMAZING in this! Don't worry, you'll get a lot of Kirstin in the next song of my next request. ;)
Please listen to GUY.EXE by Superfruit. It’s Mitch and Scott’s breakout group. 🙌🔥
There's actually not a bad song on that whole album. It's pure gold all the way through!
