Fun fact: this song was written by a boy that was seven years old. In the late 9th century, the boy killed a ten year old boy. Whilst he was shunned by the villagers, his mother told him that he would make an exceptional viking. He then wrote this poem. It was first sung by Halfdan Ragnarson and Harald Fairhair.
Eli and Geoff are like boxers! You focus you one, and then the other one comes and BOOM! Also, the look of fear you had when he came in the second time is accurate to say the least! Always looking forward to your reactions!
Really enjoyed your reaction to this one, Dave! Everyone loves Geoff, but I think Eli was just outstanding on this one. And Jose blended just *so well* with them. 💕
The thing that I love most about VoicePlay reaction videos is most reactions are normal, enjoying the song and so on. Then Geoff drops the base and either startles the person or makes them run for cover.
Dave your facial expressions crack me up so much!!! I had the same feeling!! Your voice is so soothing and deep just like Geoff’s. Another great video by VoicePlay and a great reaction from you! 🙌🏻
As always, another great reaction. I could see you bracing yourself when everybody dropped out and Geoff was singing solo, and yet he still caught you. I swear, we try to prepare, but there really is no being ready for when he unleashes those earth-shaking subharmonics. To say nothing of Eli's belting, or Layne's epic beatboxing in this one!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS! I'm so happy to have been introduced to these guys! I'm in love with Geoff! That bass is so deep he's borderline throat singing. F1 (opening deep note) is a subharmonic.
If I'm not mistaken, the first thing that surprised you was hearing Layne sing, right? But then it was _everything,_ and pretty quickly, too. XD I love all your VoicePlay reactions, and the faces you make, and the things you notice. The different roles you gave them all were cool too (picking up on the armor to designate them as warriors? I didn't even think of that, and I've watched this a bunch of times.) My favorite bits, though, are when you start talking about dragons. That's one of the things that always makes me happy about your reactions, and it fits so perfectly here. Dragons and Odin with two eyes. I love it.
Before I even watch your reaction let me say you'll get a lot of mileage out of your "stank face" in this video! The entire thing is awesome, but Geoff is even more insane than usual with his sustained subterranean rumblings! Now I'll watch to see how you react to this! I'll even say great reaction ahead of time, because your reactions are always top notch!
Geoff absolutely rocking that rumbling F1. Pretty sure that was chest voice too. He never fails to impress. Voiceplay killing those harmonies as always.
I'd have to turn on my wife's keyboard to confirm but did he really get down to F1? (I don't really doubt you but I'm not sure it even goes that low (it's not an 88 key keyboard))
I agree, he is rocking it as nobody else but it is not Chest Voice on that one. U can definitely hear the structure of his subharmonic sound. His Chest voice sounds different down there but I am not saying that he can't go that low with his chest ;)
"Hew many Foe-men" Now there's a lyric you'll never see ever again in any other song...... :D Fabulous harmonies. The Sea Shanty song is cute but this? This makes my imagination just take flight.... I liked your perspective on the costumes & scenes in this reaction. :D
This was originally a poem written by a 7 year old boy and is part of a Vikings history. Found in Penguin classics translation on Amazon called "Egil's Saga".
To answer your question, Dave, dragons played a big role in the viking culture. I could be wrong, but in the Poetic Edda, which is one of the biggest epics in Scandinavia, there was a dragon in a cave which had a lot of gold (I'm not sure if it's Beowulf though) and the dragon would lay dorment until someone would come to take his gold away (Tolkien kinda 'borrowed' the plot for The Hobbit) but I guess that the 4 vikings singing shanties certainly woke him up. What they didn't mention is that he can take the form of a man.... peculiar😊
The dragon’s name was Fafnir, and he was previously a dwarf. He was also the one that Tolkien based the “Dragon Sickness” off of. In fact, a lot of Tolkien’s work has a Norse Mythology basis.
@@furyofthenight8078 Yes, the dwarf Andvari jealously guarded his treasure. He had a ring that brought out the worst in anyone, and would eventually turn them into a literal monster.
Playing catch-up from taking a break a bit! Is this one of the coolest videos?? Geoff always gets us with those low bombs!! You had such a shocked look on your face! We all still get shocked/shook when he hits those even when we’re expecting it! ☺️ Everything about this video was stellar!! I really enjoyed your reaction, Dave!!
I actually believe that the different locations and looks have to do with the different realms found throughout Norse mythology. Biggest giveaway is Geoff being with fire which has to do with Muspelhiem. And someone else being around ice which is the Norse equivalent to hell it's call Helhiem
You cracked me up when you labeled Eli as the sage. I think he looks a lot like he could be in a remake of The Shining. He looks crazed - one of the Berserkers. But not 9nly d iui d Eli rock out on this one, he designed the backdrops in a program for game creation. I am always astounded at the talent these guys have. And Geoff's low sustained note reminds me if the Horn of Odin that Heimdall sounds to gather all from Asgard before Ragnarok.
Finally arrived here after a regular journey through your reactions (especially Voiceplay and Geoff) Great reaction once again! I saw you bracing when Geoff started to sing and that was like...oh he knows Geoff is about to blow him away xD
Fafnir, Nidhoggr, and Jormangandr are some well know dragons in viking lore wont go into details about them but im at 2:20 and i felt i needed to answer when you asked if dragons were a thing in viking lore
anytime voiceplay or home homefree releases a video, I get excited. then i get more excited to see reactors react to them. you sir, are on the top of that list.
Bit late catching this reaction but thought I'd drop this here n let you know that the reason the backdrops looked so good was because they were all actually created in the Unreal Engine, these guys don't hold back at all
Even though Vikings are a fictional show a lot of the names, characters and events are based on actual history. It's a bit of a mashup but still portraying viking culture somewhat true within the framework of a dramatic show.
My father is a professional geneologist, and he found documentary proof that we are descended from the real-life Rollo. I was actually watching Vikings when he came in, asked me what I was watching, and said, "That's Rollo? Interesting. We're descended from him, by the way, through your great-grandmother.
2:16 - Yes, in fact there are dragons. Jormungandr is technically a dragon (if you count sea serpents) as well as Nidhöggr and Fafnir. Dragons serve as symbols of unrivaled avarice or the overwhelming power of nature.
I was watching a video of someone analyzing Corpse's voice (channel was something like David with long hair) and at the end he was talking about how a deep bass isn't always good for rap. Not fast rap, anyway, but something slower you can take time with would work. But yea, there's just something about that deep bass that hits ya hard. I had to listen to VoicePlay's Oogie Boogie song several times before I could properly play attention to what the other guys sounded like XD
It’s a Viking sea shanty. In the game, they sing only two or three lines of the song, when they row the boat. It not sang like these guys do it. They do very good.
This song never gets old 😃😂! @3:46 The Vikings show is half 'n' half in terms of accuracy. The show is set during the 12th century but Ragnar's time had been during the 700's a.d. Ivar was the OLDEST of the 5 brothers rather than the youngest and lived to be 79 while still being disabled as well as conquered ALL of England, Scotland and Wales as well as 2/3 of Ireland within his lifetime. Ivar also didn't marry Freydis mostly due to her being an original character rather than a historical figure. He married someone else and had a son with them but no one knows what happened to them or who they were beyond their names. Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, and Bjorn all moved onto raiding and trading on Mainland Europe going as far as the Middle East and further into Eastern Europe including Russia. As far as I know, Ivar didn't go to Russia like in the show but rather continued Ragnar's Legacy on the British Isles and maybe some parts of France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, but that's it. There are other things that the director, producers, and writers got write and got wrong. But for the most part it was evenly split being historical fiction and historically accurate.
OK, this is late, but It just showed up in my feed. Anyway, yes, this song was featured in the TV show Vikings several times-at one point it was sung by Harald Fairhair and his brother Halfdan right before the battle in which Harald killed Halfdan. It was sometimes sung in Old Norse as well as English. The song comes from an actual Icelandic Viking saga (Egill’s Saga). In context, Egill, at (I think) 7 years old had just committed his first murder (buried an axe in the head of another boy) after which he and his allies killed a bunch more people who tried to take revenge. His mum was very proud of him and tells him he will grow up to own many ships, and will go to distant places and kill lots of people. Lovely bedtime story. LOL. And also, if you happen to watch Vikings again you’ll notice that low droning sound is often in the background. No idea whether it’s also present in the game. Anyway, It was brilliant of Layne to incorporate it in the arrangement.
As a Swede, I can confirm that we have dragons in our lore, for example , Fafnir, which might have inspired Smaug and Glaurung from the works of Tolkien
I think that "stacked" effect you're referring to is an arpeggio. Or there could be another specialized term for it that I don't know. But it's a thing VoicePlay does a lot and I love it!
I remember reading a comment on this video - to the effect that there are bass singers, and there's, "We need a Viking war horn" "Yeah you get Geoff Castalluci" "Perfect."
If we tell you what you'll get your reactions won't be pure.... Geoff is a dragon in human skin. I love the Eli looks phenomenal. So unlike himself. And to hear Layne really sing more than just one little part is so awesome!!!!
Yes, that song is an original of 1260! Rediscovered by a few Tick-tokers, from Ireland, and Norway, and from Scandanavia. Just see the variations of the song.
Nah, man, I'm right there with you on Geoff. He is flipping amazing, and I LOVE his solo work, but what I still love about VoicePlay is that they just blow me away as an ensemble. Doesn't matter who they bring in, they just kill me every single time, and I'm never going to get tired of it. They bring the theatricality and passion in a way that few other acapella groups do. Like, no offense to Home Free and Pentatonix (though, they're too... commercial for me these days), but VoicePlay just draws me in so much deeper than they do. And, hey, Geoff on his own just... I die. I still need to just settle down with his Little Mermaid reading. I'm intimidated by an hour of Geoff's bass reading voice, though, I'm not going to lie.
Well What It Do, that would be the first time we've heard a dragon throat sing..lol If Geoff was to travel back in time he would be king of all Vikings from all creeds.. keep it up brother
You should totally check out Colm McGuiness! His a capella songs (mostly sea shanties) are outstanding and he has an INCREDIBLE Range (his Bass, seriously, I would do anything for that voice)
Layne: "Hey Geoff, I have an idea for the bass line. How long could you hold a subharmonic F1?"
Geoff: "Yes."
Yes dragons are a part of our lore. Look up Sigurd the dragon slayer. Love your reaction bro!
@@kennethshippey70 Also, (and I could be mistaken) wasn't Fafnir in Viking lore?

I’m a major Geoff fan, but I’ve got to give props to Eli for his part in this one.
We love a good tenor belt.
And for more than his singing. Eli did all of the backdrops as well, using unreal engine.
He is no Geoff, Don't forget it.
Geoff: *absolutely SENDS it*
Eli: “Hold my mead...”
Geoff knows he can get a reaction out from us.
I think he may end up abusing his power. 😂 (I don’t mind at all but we gonna pAnic-)
