I'm a Geoff stan, but anyone else kinda crushing on Layne in this video?
Holy mother of God! When my wife was dying of brain cancer, she'd sometimes play this song by Bonnie raitt... She knew I loved her more than my own life. It was more that she was going on a journey that I could not go along with her. I had to stay with our kids. I've never been the same.
I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences to you and your family.
I am sorry for you and your family’s loss. I hope you can get through the grief and keep going, you never stop missing lost loved ones but at some point hearing their favorite songs won’t hurt quite so much. I hope you find that sweetness in the memory soon
🍃🌸🍃🙏🏽🍃🌸🍃
May Creator Bless, Guide, and Protect you and your family!
My husband Wes is waiting in heaven for me as well and this is one of his favorite songs! Perhaps they are watching over us together?
👵🏽👋🏾🍃🦬🍃💚🎄❤️🍃
Truly sorry for your loss....
I still cannot fathom why this VoicePlay cover hasn't received millions of views. It is heartbreakingly gorgeous.
You don't have to make me love you, Voiceplay. All you have to do is start singing and everything is right in this world for a few minutes. 💗💗💗💗
No sorrows, no pains, nothing bad exists, while those voices fill my heart. A moment of peace in the world. ❤❤
This is the sweetest comment i've ever seen! It truly speaks to all of us
Same here ♥
Amen!
Couldn't have said it better.
100 percent THIS. Whether it's a sad and touching song like this one, or a fun one like their Halloween covers, VoicePlay's music always transports me, feeds my soul, helps me to stop, breathe, see and hear and feel the depth and the joy of living. Making music like this is such a gift, both to the listeners and, I'm sure, to the singers themselves.
Thank you VoicePlay and EJ, for yet another demonstration of the range, not only of your voices, but of your hearts.
no one is talking about how fucking low geoff goes at 4:04, right after his line i think you need headphones to hear it, idk what note it is but it sounds so nice
Cesar made me believe every damn word he sang. Soulcrushed.
Whenever this one comes up in my Playlist, I just start crying. It's by far the most raw version of this song I've ever heard. I don't know what experiences Geoff was drawing off to arrange this and what the guys were pulling from during recording, but it's one of those times where you realize that emotion is universal.
Oh wow, we rarely hear Layne sing. Easy to forget the man is just as good as the rest of the band at vocals.
I'm not the only one who loves it when Layne gets to sing in songs like this one, right? This cover was amazing. Everyone was so clear and you could easily hear the emotion in their voices without any wavering of tone. Great job to everyone.
I LOVE when we hear Layne sing!
@@bdennis3393 same
So do I. His voice adds a lightness to the mix that rounds out the harmonies. It’s time to look into cloning him so there’s a singing Layne and Layne for beats. Oh: and one for the violin.
But of course it’s everyone all together that makes VoicePlay magnificent.
Does anyone else think Layne is sexy?😉❤️
У Лэйна чудесный голос ❤❤❤
Why the whole world hasn't fallen in love with VoicePlay yet I'll never know! 😢
I just discovered Voice Play. Drawn by JC. I didn't realize that he collaborated with these guys.
Looking at the thumbnail again, and they're all so sad! Except for Geoff, who sort of looks like he's gonna find whoever broke his buddies' hearts and give them a piece of his mind.
How dare someone hurt his beloved Layne!? 🥰
These men make you want to cry for them.
You each owe us all hugs for making us feel the feels
HUG!
@@Thevoiceplay Hug very much appreciated!
I live on the west coast but I’d go all the way to Florida to see these lovely people live ❤
You guys don’t even have to make me love you. Cause I already do……..like a lot…😅❤️
Like a lot a lot or a little a lot?
An enormous amount!
@@Thevoiceplay an insane, possibly unhealthy amount of love...
so a lot a lot
@@Thevoiceplay Like to Infinity and Beyond! So a lot a lot😀
@@Thevoiceplay to the moon & back a thousand times ❤️ I would love to hear Layne take the lead in a soft ballad. While I absolutely love Layne's beat boxing his voice melts my heart. Cesar, you're a little fire cracker & an amazing addition to the group. Please stay forever with Voice Play. Well done as always guys ❤️
So beautiful and haunting and Cesar just breaks the heart.
As I draw close to finishing out my divorce after 15 years of what I thought was unbreakable, this rendition of such a beautiful song hit me very hard. Thank you Voiceplay for this amazing and emotional song choice. I needed this.
It puts me in mind of my divorce as well. Tom and I were married over 21 years before we divorced. It's been some years since, and we are both happily remarried now, but there is still a wistful sorrow that his love for me died...and with it what I too had thought unbreakable. Yes, I've moved on, but a little love is still there, sweet and sad.
May you also move on, even if you cherish bittersweet memories too. 💜
I am listening for the first time in my life this song and I am going through a divorce too, and man, it is hard. I don't know what more to say, you get me and I feel you. Hope everything turned out good for you.
I've listened to this song a lot thinking it was just a really good song but i think I've finally come to realize what music can really do for everyone. Reading these comments really show why they put there entire heart into singing every song they sing.
@2:48 Eli.. my goodness. Just perfection.
Showed my 8 year old son the We Don’t Talk About Bruno video. He’s in the living room now watching back to back VoicePlay videos. And wants me to teach him subharmonics to sing like Geoff. I’ll… uh… get right on that
Those harmonies, those chords, those runs! This is a real masterpiece, believe me! 🥰🎶☀️❤️ But you can’t make me love you, because I already do. ❤️
💝 Cesar. and Eli 👏🏾🎉GEOFF 🎶
We absolutely need more of harmony for their newer songs from Voiceplay, what songs do you like or love for Voiceplay to do? My suggestion: Life love a Tragedy by Poison, collaborate with: Adam Rupp from Home Free just his vocal to take full lead.
@@deanmarion5477 I would love to hear them do a rendition of Hank Williams Sr's Alone and Forsaken.
@@123caeria : that fits Voiceplay criteria
Just heard this group for the first time today. They are great .
I have a confession to make... I´m clearly addicted, sigh. The first thing I do, connected to the internet in the morning - I listen to this song. There must be something very wrong with me!? Then I go to hear and view some other songs (VP and Geoff, blush) and I find myself back at this again. Is there any cure?☺
These harmonies! These Voices! These emotions... I could cry ❤🩹
This has been a favorite since Bonnie Raitt released it. Geoff's arrangement is lush and gorgeous. Cesar was not only note-perfect, but also emotionally perfect every second. Layne was right there too. There wasn't a single second that Layne and his micro-expressions weren't EXACTLY perfect. That's hard. Singing harmony it's easy to get into the gorgeousness of the music instead of holding the emotional still-point. But Layne was as credible every second as if he were the one singing every line. His acting skills are beyond. Saw the same in True Colors. Usually we see Layne's comedic timing, but he just NAILED this as a dramatic performance. I've watched this 2-3 dozen times now. The entire performance is extraordinary.
Layne's voice also came through on the harmonies right before Geoff took the melody, and as always, it was like an extra warm hug. I love getting to hear Layne sing.
What songs do you want for Voiceplay to do with Lyane Stein? My suggestion is: I see Fire by Ed Sheeran especially Lyane Stein absolutely will take full lead.
@@deanmarion5477 Great question, I honestly never thought about it, and don't have a quick answer. I did go listen to Fire, though, and I think that is a great choice, I think Layne would shine in it!
@@Aurora-cv5to : that why I definitely this song for them to do
I just now commented about Layne in this and in True Colors, then saw this comment of yours. Great minds think alike... And love Layne too.

Who let those onion cutting ninjas in here?? Seriously boys, this is beautiful. Eli's crazy run in the middle there killed me.
9/9. LAYNE, YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG!
Cesar's breathy voice at the beginning sounds like he had been crying so long/hard he could barely sing... so emotional! Love this arrangement! And EJ is the PERFECT collaborator for this song!
I believe he had just recovered from Covid19. His voice is still just a bit breathless.
I love it when E. J. joins you guys, but next time could you ask him to bring Kate Lott too?
What about this: wishful drinking by ingrid andress with Sam Hunt, collaborate with Kirsten from Penatatonix as ingrid andress, collaborate with Adam Chance from Home Free as Sam Hunt, Geoff will do the Bassline will use subharmonic, Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa for the high harmony. I want Lyane Stein to do half and half of ingressive phonation and regular beatboxing.
Funny you should say that E J Cardona is the perfect collaborator for this song because both E J Cardona and Omar Cardona are actually brothers
@@matthewpattison8611 Yes, they are two very talented brothers.
I grew with Bonnie raitte's version.... thank you. Thank you for bringing this back to life. Thank you for putting so much of yourselves and your emotions into it. And thank you for honoring without binding yourselves too the original.♥️♥️
2:47 the most beautiful run I've ever heard in my life, Eli you are amazing thank you for sharing your gift of a voice to us
Just discovered voice play and you guys definitely can keep up with pentatonix.
Boys...this song kept teenage me A L I V E in the 90s. So much pain from bullying at school and at 'home'. No one can replace Bonnie Raitt's version, but...make us proud.
UPDATE: Sobbing. Thank you.
I may never forgive you guys for doing such a perfect job with this song. You had me ugly crying.
This is the song that showed me, years ago when it first came out, what an incredible alchemical power art has: it can create something beautiful out of something tragic and painful. It has remained a touchstone for me all of my life. I never thought I would hear a version that topped the original.
To sing a song like this properly you have to express those painful emotions, and so you have to be willing to feel them. You gentlemen did not shy away. I deeply respect you for that.
Same. I’m bawling my eyes out. Snot bubbles and everything
Ugly crying each and every time I hear it. 😢❤
I still love to listen to it.
I love seeing Layne sing. Don't get me wrong he's an amazing vocal percussionist but I also think he's a beautiful singing voice. My two favorite beat boxers are Layne and Adam from Home Free and both of them have amazing tones when they're actually singing.
This composition will bring tears to every man ever divorced or whose marriage has grown cold.
I could listen to this a hundred times and it will bring me to tears each and every time. The emotion in this cover is overwhelming 🥰
Voiceplay: "I can't make you love me" 💔
You can't make us love you, because we already love you and always will love you ♥️
How does this video have so few views?!? The complexity of the arrangement is one of Geoff's best, and the song is beautiful and heartbreaking to start with. The vocals are on par with the best that VoicePlay has ever done - and that's saying something!
I ask myself that every time I watch or listen to this (i.e., five or more times a day). I adore this arrangement. I do wish more of it had stayed vulnerable and openly heartbreaking like Cesar's part, but I love it all nonetheless and wish more people were listening to and watching it.
Unrequited love...what a witch..the course of true love never runs smooth..and you never ever forget it.
Wow, wow, wow!!!
This is another of those "Oh, who hurt you, my VP babies?!" songs. Just want to give all these guys a big hug and tell 'em it's gonna be okay, and we all love you already. Anyone who doesn't just hasn't heard you yet.
Get it VP!!!!❤. Amazing work Geoff! Holy moly Cesar! I am at a loss for words… Amazing talent! Actually, that can be said for all of you! You have all come so far in your musical journey, and it has been a pleasure and honor to listen.🤍
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
I love how Geoff always goes above and beyond with his arrangements. Keep it up Mr. Castellucci
Yall just MELTED me with this!!!!!!!!!!
Give them hugs. Give all of them hugs. My heart...!
There are things that cannot be talked about or sung about them without experience. I play this song over and over again and I'm amazed at how deep and soulful you sing it.
If i had known this song 23 years ago and given the chance i would have had it played at my father's last farewell.
Unfortunately, I was "only" 10 years old and no one bothered to explain to me what actually happened.
I didn't say goodbye to my dad until later, when I found out everything and could say goodbye.
Thank you for this song, VoicePlay.
* ugly sobbing*
in their solo part, i could really feel thier emotions..😭😭
Cesar has the most tender voice ❤
I’m sobbing. My bestie has MND and it’s how I will always feel about him
This is so incredible. I've always believed that Cesar's voice is beautiful, and just perfect for songs like these, and that's been reinforced 110% with this song. EJ's vocals just fit so perfectly too. Then there's Geoff being Geoff, always great stuff, Eli's high notes add so much flavour to the piece, and Layne singing is an absolute delight. Not to mention the facial expressions - it's clear that this song was FELT. By me too lol. Just phenomenal.
What about this: soundtrack of princess bride medley, must lot of collaboration.
This has to be one of my favorites of Voiceplay's slower paced songs. The harmonies, the lead vocals, EJ, Cesar, Eli, LAYNEEEE, and Geoff's bassiness. What an amazing and intricate masterpiece guys, you knocked this one out of the park and have brought tears to my eyes.
To me, we want more slow songs for Voiceplay: The best is yet to Come by Scorpion, collaborate with Adam Chance from Home Free.
Thank you!
My ears perked up even more when I heard Layne singing. He’s amazing!
All in favour of hearing more singing from Layne … 👍🏼
@@MrBiodieseler always! I love it when “Angel” Layne sings!
I would highly encourage you fine vocalists to check out Sons of Serendip's version of this song. The only reason I suggest it is because if you guys could somehow get the singer Micah Christianson on a future song, that would absolutely make my entire year, and I can guarantee you wouldn't regret the colab. Thank you all for honing your craft and sharing it with the world. We are all better off for it.
Eli killing that beard!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL -!!!
. . . yeah. Other people have already made more intelligent comments, this is just going to stand as is. Good grief. . . That was gorgeous.
Til now, there's never been a group on par with Take 6.
Finally!
This is NEXT LEVEL!
I'm crying. Cesar looks so sad!
I just got out of a very abusive marriage of 7 years and I just cried my eyes out cuz I literally felt every single word of this song music has always been my safe place to truly feel how I feel with no judgement and I feel this is exactly how I felt in those final moments when I finally left my marriage I can't make him love me the way I deserve and not hurt me so thank yal so much for this amazingly beautiful song
I don't say this lightly, because I have been a passionate fan of theirs since their very first performances, but this particular rendition and arrangement is the equal of Take 6, and I can think of no higher praise that I can bestow upon an acapella group than that. Well done gentleman, well done indeed.
Seriously, why isn't this more famous?!
You've already made me love you, you goofballs! 🥲
All comment joking aside, this song wasn’t one I was familiar with, but once Eli comes in at a certain point, I weep like no tomorrow. Beautifully heartbreaking. An amazing choice by our lovely Cesar, and a breathtaking arrangement by the forever passionate Geoff. And an phenomenal performance by Layne, Eli, Cesar and of course, EJ. Loved every bit of it. Where’s a kleenex?
The original is by blues singer Bonnie Raitt. It was a very popular ballad in the early 90s. You should check out her version.
Eli has this edge to his voice that always cuts right through me. And he can emote like no other. His main part of this song really broke my heart because he made it feel REAL.
You should check out Teddy Swims cover of this!
I agree, very emotional song.
That Eil Jacobson, he is the most heavy metal vibe from his vocal, he will take any full lead for any heavy metal songs with Voiceplay.
OMG... Look at these LOOOOW notes!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
I've always felt that this was the saddest song ever written. Bon Iver's cover is really good too.
Glad to find this music because of Omar I want to go see this live.
Wow, I'm speechless. So beautiful and poignant - every one of those guys sang the song like they had lived that pain. Sheer genius!
I love just about everything VoicePlay does. But some of the harmonies in this piece, combined with the melancholy, make this one of my new favorites. That last chord is simply unique in the universe. Riveting.
This is like...like standing in a cool rock waterfall on a hot, beautiful summer day! Cesar’s voice is the water, cool and refreshing, washing over you, and the harmonies are the embrace of the warm sunlight! The other solos are like beautiful stones, shining in the rocks around the waterfall! I know that probably sounds crazy, but that’s how it makes me feel.
What beautiful imagery. Very appropriate. I hope you write poetry, with your way with words.
@@joyfulyes Not as much as I used to. But thanks. I did write a Doctor Who fanfic not long ago. Well, a few years, so pretty long I guess.
This should have millions of views. Absolutely beautiful arrangement and Cesar really blew me away on this song. Lots of magical sounding chords throughout and everyone sang their hearts out.
It really should have so many more views. I've shared it on all my socials, but my reach is small. Can you help?
Every time I hear one of their songs I can listen to them 20+ times and find something new in the vocals or acting each time. There is so much to see that there is no way you can see it/hear it with only one view
This great song is from Bonnie Raitt. It's on her grammy award winning album Luck of the Draw from 1991. This is a wonderful version from Voiceplay.
That bass tho. Wow.
What can we do to make this song viral?!? This is TOO GOOD for so few views!!
Cesar! Your emotions in the first verse break my heart every time. Absolutely beautiful.
4:04 Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power, but you won't ... 🎶EJ!! This takes my breath away!
Eli's beard game is on POINT! That is just a phenomenally better look for him.
Do you know how cruel it is to have a sentence about EJ start with “Make sure to check him out on tour with Vo…”?!?! I thought we were finally getting a Voiceplay tour again!! 😭
Yeah yeah yeah.... we know. We're working on it.
@@Thevoiceplay if you do, please come to Arkansas!
@VoicePlay it would be sweet if you'd come to Europe as well! 🤗
@@Thevoiceplay do you guys do international tours? I’m just curious.
You must, must, MUST, perform in Fort Worth next year!!! Please, pretty please, with a cherry on top?!?? 🎶🎵🎶🍒
I can't watch this video without tears.
Hi don’t mind me just weeping my heart out rn
Ceaser and EJ 👏 phenomenal! The whole group created some much needed magic with this one
Heartbreakingly beautiful - especially Cesar's part at the beginning. So much emotion.
8/23. THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL, BEAUTIFUL!
1) This is beautiful. 2) Geoff was like, okay, Layne, extended 5 part harmonies in Running Up that Hill? I see what you did there.
I feel like my mind is free of all the killing thoughts by listening to this heavenly work of art...
Wow, this is so beautiful and heartbreaking! Thanks Voiceplay and Bonnie, I thought I’d walked away from this feeling years ago. Then once I did, I discovered that it was so much better to be alone than neglected…
Man I love the deep rich tone Geoff has during this song
So amazing
2/10. BRAVO, Voice Play for this excellent performance! It is a beautiful and emotional performance. BRAVO!
OUTSTANDING, Gentlemen. E.J. Cardona, you are awesome. This performance brings tears to my eyes. 100 stars out 100! BRAVISSIMO! Thank you for including the lyrics. Wonderful close harmony!
Wow
It's hard to write a comment with your eyes full of tears. Powerful. Perfect. Exceptional. I'm out of words. Cheers! //Rick
Gorgeous showcase for Cesar- and EJ blends sooooooo well! He always sounds perfectly placed and is a damn master. Love that Layne had a moment- for a light tone, he has a really lovely warmth. Eli- I mean …… ok just being brilliant like ….EVERY TIME. Nice balance of bass from Geoff (dude- this arrangement is beautiful. It would be an easy song to overdo, oversing, or add distracting elements to…..but your balance of the different lines was really carefully judged.)
Each song, I find a vocal pairing that makes me think - ooo- I like that duet! Or, yay! Triads!! (Geoff and Cesar Might be my favorite less frequent pairing,) but overall this song had an impeccable seasoning of the talent VP brings to all their work.
Gorgeous arrangement, gorgeous performance by each of the band. (Seriously, Cesar- you were perfect).
This was absolutely beautiful. The harmonies were so beautiful and got my heart melting all over the place. Geoffs bassline got me fainting with each note he sang lol 🥲🥲
What songs do you like or love for Voiceplay to do? Make sure it complex for Geoff for the Bassline: my suggestion for their next song: From here to Eternity by Def Leppard, collaborate with Scott Hyoing from Penatatonix.
Song says - I can't make you love me...
Voice play says - hold my beer...
Ngl I thought for longer than I would like to admit that you said that his bassline got you farting and all I could think about was how that works and whether perhaps brown noise is actually real
Someone in my house is definitely cutting onions right now... 😭
One of the most beautiful songs around!
What a beautiful performance. My mother was moved to tears when she watched this video.
this video needs more views
I love it so much when we get to hear Layne sing!! you all have such beautiful voices
Also, can we take a second to talk about how this video is put together? I love the isolation of each member in different rooms in the empty house. It really feels like the aftermath of a huge fight/breakup and Cesar's obvious devastation just crushes my heart
Yes, this, and I'm looking at what room they are each in and thinking of meanings it might add, even if inadvertent on their part. But they are masters of subtle details, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were significance to those choices...
3:47 YESSSSS GEOFF BASS SOLO. KILLED IT!!!! 😎🔥👍🏻. Beautiful work, top-to-bottom, from everyone!! So much LOVE for VP and admiration for each and every VP member!!
Live tweeting through this song
Sirs. SIRS. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, Bonnie Raitt is my guitar hero, my spirit is NOT READY for what you are about to bring
[hits play]
Oh no not the hmmms
omg EJ's here!
Cesar why you gotta break me like that
Oh no not that bass
H A R M O N I E S
omg is Layne going to sing the whole way through? please say yes
YES EJ smooth as butter sharp as glass
Not Eli trying to outdo John Pinto in Unchained Melody!
8/21. I AM SO MOVED BY THIS PERFORMANCE AND PERFORMERS!
