You’ve been “Geoffed.” It’s a very emotional experience.
Thanks DravenGal! I'm still just in awe!
I just found him today. I too have been "Geoffed"!
geoff rolled
I got Geoffed earlier this month and I’ve never been happier! ❤
*It's ok to cry. I'm a grown man and I cry every time. Every reaction.*
"Is it weird that I want to cry?"
Nope, not a bit. Once upon a many moons ago I was a Music Therapy major, before shoulder and wrist injuries meant I couldn't play bass anymore. The textbook definition of music therapy is the use of music to achieve non musical goals. The practical definition is that music just hits us differently and interacts with our brains and our entire bodies differently than other forms of input.
So no, having a seemingly random emotional reaction to outstanding music is very much not weird at all.
Thank you so much for the comment Beth 🙏🏼 This makes so much sense! I expected it to be impressed with his performance but I wasn’t expecting my heart to grow 3 sizes 😆 He started singing and I just had the overwhelming feeling of beauty.
I’m sorry to hear that your injuries pulled you out of bass playing. Are you able to play any instruments these days?
@@MetalGuyReacts I occasionally still pretend to play guitar, and I have played with a few bell choirs still over the years. I briefly played bass with a church group a few years back and playing at a less intense level than college/semiprofessional wasn't too bad but I can't do it long term without steroid injections and/or surgery becoming necessary.

Intriguing stuff!
I said that EXACT same thing when he asked that! LOL I was once a minister of music, and went to college for a music therapy major. I was a coloratura soprano, and my upper range was destroyed by a surgery to my spine (they went through my neck) that accidentally cut my super laryngeal nerve that controls higher pitches in the voice. I have been mourning this loss for a while now. I now have the range of Diana Krall, who don't get me wrong, is amazing, but it's not MY voice and I can't do all the vocal acrobatics anymore. I ache to sing my own music again, but I content myself with listening to amazing people online these days. I too have this visceral reaction to Geoff's voice, well, all of VoicePlay really, not just Geoff, just him especially, and this piece of music as well as their Valhalla Calling cover.
Visceral is the right word for sure. You don't listen to Geoff as much as you FEEL Geoff. Not only does he really understand how to arrange for himself (and VP) but also how to do those layers, like you said. It can get 'muddy' sounding (at least that's the way I describe it) and that has never happened with Geoff. He is so talented, although I know it has also been a lot of years of working on his craft, but still....he really is a joy to listen to. Glad you enjoyed this one. His Blackbird and House of the Rising Sun covers are always fantastic and worth a listen.
Hey Cindy! I can't wait to check out more of his stuff! I bet he does amazing with both Blackbird and House of the Rising Sun! I've added both to my list.
And also 16 Tons!
You have a great point. His voice is very clear sounding. The deep voice, sad lyrics, and violins made it very powerful emotionally
Yeah. Geoff's music tends to hit you this way, and this song more than most. Visceral is the right word for it.
You're really not going to go wrong with any of his stuff, but I think his cover of Blackbird is truly sublime, and his most recent release, House of the Rising Sun, nearly as powerful and affecting as this song.
Hey Cynical! Thank you so much for the recommendations. I’ve added these to my list and I can’t wait to check out more! What an amazing voice!!
@@MetalGuyReacts Um, just thought you ought to know that VoicePlay just dropped their cover of Hoist the Colours yesterday. It's, uh, really super good, but I feel like it needs to come with a warning label. Since Misty Mountains Cold impacted you so hard, I figured you might want to know going in that Hoist the Colours is going to be another one that hits you like a freight train. Brace yourself, and just be aware that other reactors have flung off their headphones and walked out, without a word, due to that song's intensity. It's something else; possibly their best work to date. So, there's your warning. Proceed with care.
If you feeling like crying is weird, then I'm also weird. Music beautifully performed will move me to tears, even when it's an upbeat, happy tune. So I completely understand your emotion.
Hi 👋🏻 from Canada 🇨🇦
Might be only ME but this was my FIRST TIME hearing Geoff - WOW 😮
My jaw is on the floor!!!
Welcome to the Geoff rabbit hole
When Gimli blows the Horn of Helm Hammerhand during the battle of Helm's Deep, its almost as low as Geoff goes on that first 'Gold'
You reacted just as I did the first time I watched Geoff. I had tears more than once. Nothing to be ashamed of. 😊
Thanks Tracie! His voice is so amazing and I'm so glad people recommended I listen to him!
Well there should be a warning on this song with Geoff, as it have killed more reactors to this day. 😂
He is just so smooth.
Hearing the deep humming in the beginning instantly took me back to first seeing the Hobbit. I swear the hair on my arms was standing straight up. Such a thrilling feeling and memory.
Thank you for your honest reaction. I also became quite overwhelmed when I heard this song. I am a great Tolkien fan and I think he did this song a great justice.
Geoff's telling more about dwarves life under the misty mountain than the movie dwarves did. I also enjoyed metal guys reaction as he was not blurbing about details (like some other reactors and reactresses did) and just enjoyed a somehow magic song.
This song is one of his best, but Blackbird is killer too. Not as much bass in it, but he really shows off his range.
I get what you mean but he did hit one of his lowest chest+sub notes in this song which is G1 and D1
@@gerome86 Didn't mean the bass didn't go as deep, just most of the song is not sung at a low register.
So nice to see someone so open to the emotions music can inspire. Geoff is totally unique, and has several truly impressive solos out there: Sixteen Tons, Blackbird, House of the Rising Sun, High and Dry and more.
Geoff really is something special. There are very few vocalists that can reach as low as he can from what I have see and every time I hear him sing my mood just changes for the better. Pretty much any song either from voiceplay or Geoff’s solo music covers is spectacular any I always enjoy seeing other peoples reactions to this group and it’s member. One song I would like to recommend is Geoff’s new cover of House of The Rising Sun which has become one of my favorites from him.
I love the way he can harmonize with himself ( 4 to 5 ) Geoffs. You need to react to Sixteen Tons, Take Me Home Country Roads, he just dropped House Of The Rising Sun.
Can’t wait! All of these sound amazing!
He is about to release Big Bad John.
I can hardly wait.
3 Geoffs, one Darryl
Beyond the power of his voice, this song is one of tragedy and loss. Combine the two and having an emotional reaction is reasonable, if not expected.
I would suggest Blackbird, but perhaps you need a little break first. So try one of his fun ones, maybe Bare Necessities or Saddle Up.
Good point. Saddle Up would be a perfect palate cleanser.
@@CynicalTesuji yeah, he might need a "Disney Break" in between these other songs.
I sincerely love your reaction and have to admit, every time i hear this song (and other songs of Geoff) i'm close to cry and my emotions are more or less out of control. Certainly one of the great things music is able to achieve - to get straight to your heart, soul and your tear glands ;)
I’ve never heard Geoff’s solo efforts. So this was really something unexpected and emotionally beautiful for me as well. I will definitely have to check out his channel. Your reaction was really beautiful in that I love how music can literally just shake people. Can’t wait to hear and see more. 🎶🎶
Thank you Realbser! I really hope that I’m articulating my thoughts well. Connecting with people through music is amazing and really warms my heart!
Geoff’s low notes not only shake people, but also the ground underneath them!
I love seeing someone else experience music as viscerally as I do. It really is a gift.
Oh thank you, every time I listen to this I tear up. I'm glad I'm not the only one. This is just gorgeous and hits me until I'm crying by the end.
I was so surprised Teresa that I had such a response. But this piece is just so amazing and Geoff really made it special!
Geoff's music just does that sometimes. He has a beautiful voice and when he multiplies it to harmonize with himself he creates a perfection of sound that just makes the eyes leak.
I'm not surprised by your initial reaction. It's such a mournful melody. I love the arrangement and the harmonies.
The song itself is from Lord of the Rings, it's the sad song sung by the dwarves, driven from their ancestral mountain home generations before and desperate to find it again. A song that tells of a never ending quest to find the home that was once theirs. The melody and tempo tells of sadness and gets to most people.
Geoff does a great arrangement of it and I love the theatrics in all his productions, not just a singer, but a performer who goes into character with whatever song he sings.
I’ve seen this video dozens of times. Every time it’s incredible. But your response to it made me hear it with new ears. Thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤️
i started tearing up also when he started humming. He's amazing!
Certain voices make me want to cry too. It can be a happy song but just for some reason their voices affect me that way. So I think it’s completely normal that was your first reaction and very cool that you shared that!
Yes, Blackbird hits the same. But, on the fun side, Bare Necessities and Saddle Up are awesome
I’ll add those to my list! Blackbird will be a great one to check out!!
Agree with you there bud. Something about this song and him singing it that gets me. I think theres both a sense of sorrow that he conveys and also a fierce determination and a purpose - we must away, we ride before the break of day. It feels grounding and inspiring to hear those words sung by Geoff so beautifully
So glad you reacted to this one. It is magnificent. You must hear Blackbird too.
Oh man, it's nice to see someone else react the way I did when I first heard this song. Definitely teared up too, which I wasn't expecting at all. He has such a beautiful, smooth voice - combined with Tolkien (I'm a diehard fan), this could not have been more perfect. As for suggestions, my favourites are 16 Tons, Blackbird and High and Dry. Or hey, it's only a few months until Christmas - his version of Mele Kalikimaka is pretty awesome. Honestly, they're all fantastic.
This song hits me in the feels too. It transports me right back to 3rd grade when I read The Hobbit for the first time, which was my first ever introduction to fantasy literature. I'll be 30 soon, and the decision to dive into The Hobbit at that age put me on the path to becoming the person I am today. So for me it's a combination of Geoff's incredible vocals, and such wonderful attention to detail and respect for something that is so important to me.
I absolutely love your response to the first 25 seconds. I always think of it as checking your dental filings before the song. I would love to see someone put this into one of those big subwoofer filled cars just to see how far out the vibrations would go.
It's so much fun to see another reactor start the tumble down the VoicePlay/Geoff rabbit hole! We've all done it. My first was 'Sixteen Tons' which I remembered from childhood, and then 'Ooogie Boogie's Song', and I was hooked.
You seriously cannot go wrong with anything Geoff puts out on his solo channel, but I'll add my 2 cents. If you want an illustration of his full range, go with 'High and Dry'. I went back and listened to Radiohead's original after to get a bearing on what tweaks he made to the arrangement for his voice; he makes the song so much more relatable. I never liked the original version so I avoided his cover for a little while. His version made me like and understand the message that the original production lacked. He is very talented, true, but he works about 16 hours a day at his craft and has been actively singing for his entire adult life. Sorry so long, we get excited when we see another victim of his start to get sucked in! 🤣🤣 Seriously, you can pick any song of his with a blindfold on and a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey pin and you will get happy ears! Enjoy!
P.S. He also does a few videos where he goes into how he arranges and how he learned to go so low.
I was trying to figure out my emotions. I think the beauty of his voice and the melancholy of the tune and harmony just hits the feels
Unbelievably amazing is a pretty good description for .Geoff. As you get deeper into VoicePlay and Geoff's songs you realize that he's so consistent it's unreal.
Wow!! Those low notes were wicked!!
I recently discovered Geoff's holy existence through Elizabeth Zharoff, I listened to this one on my own first, and salty water began seeping out through my tear ducts almost immediately. I instantly became a Geoff Castellucci fan.
So many great suggestions I won't add more... have added my like to them. Thank you for your honest reaction to this. There are some voices, some combinations that are devastatingly beautiful, and they crack open the heart and allow you to be more fully human. People are often terrified of the experience and avoid it by covering it with chatter or simply thinking of other things. To me, this is what art IS. It's that moment when something you see or hear or read just breaks you open, steals your breath away and you're never the same afterwards. A little bigger. I little more empathic. A little more open to everything around us. The scientists look for the answers in the brain wiring, but they still have more questions than answers. When it happens it's a good thing. Your courage in simply acknowledging it was wonderful. There area only a few singers that do this to me -- sometimes certain harmonies from VP, sometimes Geoff, and frequently Dimash.
As many of us Geoff fans we can tell you Geoff ain't human. I love watching your reactions. Thank you so much.
Geoff will always be my main man but I just discovered another incredible bass vocalist, Tomi P. He’s Czech I believe and his cover of Hellfire from Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame may be the most beautiful and haunting thing I’ve ever heard.
According to people smarter than me, the final chord of the song covers 6 octaves. All sung by Tomi. How are these bass guys allowed to have this much talent?
I just discovered Tomi P as well! Hellfire is the best cover I’ve ever heard! The fact that he’s so young is mind boggling… he’s 22 now but he was 20 or 21 when he did Hellfire 😲😎👍
Respect for showing emotion. If you don’t feel something when Jeoff sings your not alive
Did you ever react to Peter Hollens and Tim Foust version of Misty Mountains, Tim dropped a G#1 too.
If you haven't heard it I think you should, both versions are great in different ways. 👍🍻😁
I haven't heard that yet! Sounds amazing! I'll add it to my list!
Yes!!! An excellent rendition as well!
@@MetalGuyReacts Agreed, Peter Hollens is very skilled at layering (as mentioned in another post), and you'll enjoy his version with Tim Foust - if you do, I'd also recommend checking out his version of "I See Fire" as well. One of my favourites of his :)
YES! Tim and Peter did an awesome job. Gave me chills. Tim was at his best.
You should react to Geoff’s latest “House of the Rising Sun”. I looked in your playlists and didn’t see a reaction to Home Free “Ring of Fire” featuring Avi Kaplan. That would be another good reaction. Thanks for this reaction. I love the “Four Geoff” version of songs. Geoff has a smooth, mellow voice and an amazing range.
It's not just Geoff, though. This song simply is beautiful, hands down the best part of the Hobbit trilogy.
The most beautiful song with Geoff. His voice is amazing!
Enjoy my good friend. I know what you mean cuase his voice especially his sub always knocks me out! His voice gives me a place to rest and a place to be inspired.
Dude, you are not alone in your reaction to this song. I've listened to it dozens of times (so far) and it gives me the shivers every time. Now check out Misty Mountains (same song) by Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust. Tim (from Home Free) has a beautiful 5 octave range too.
Geoff's voice is amazing! Truly astounding. Some similar hitting music I've listened to was Peter Hollen's version of Misty Mountains which he did with Tim Foust which oh he can go so low I really don't know which of them can go lower Geoff or Tim Foust and you can feel it in your bones. Plus Jonathan Young is astounding especially his covers of Hellfire, and Bells of Notre Dame. But yea this song is astounding!
SAME. SAME SAME SAME SAME ABOUT AS SAME AS IT GETS ON REACTIONS 😅
Teared up IMMEDIATELY. The entirety of my emotions were mirroring yours! Crazy! ❤️ LOVED this.
I had this same exact feeling when i listened to this song for the first two times. I was soothed. I can still listen to it like 10 times in a row, i can’t do any other song like that.
Love your reaction!!!😊you truly felt it!! Geoff is awesome!!!his vocal range is insane!!great reaction,well done!thank you✌
Thank you Stephanie! So glad to have you as a subscriber! Geoff is just out of this world!
I’m hoping you will react to VoicePlay’s cover of “Hoist the colours high” (from Pirates of the Caribbean)! I believe they will release it this weekend. You will be introduced to their newest member, Cesar de la Rosa (I don’t think you’ve seen him yet?) and it’s also featuring Jose Rosario Jr, who you saw in “My mother told me“. And I think it’s really great!!
You're not the only one crying, bro. His voice hits the soul.
now he needs to do Tim Fausts misty mountains
You've gotta let it out man I cry every time I hear this song no matter who sings it (as long as its good).
that feeling of this song is the product of Tolkein. he is reminding you of that which was lost.
Love this song! There is nothing wrong with a visceral, emotional reaction. Music of this genre (folk?) is so calming to me. Two things that are so impressive here are:Geoff sings in a range that most of us can barely reach, if at all, and then…he goes another octave lower. What??!! The second is: this song is done in a minor key. A lot of the runs and tone changes feel they should resolve into a major chord, Geoff is able to stay on tune and continue the minor chord.
I’d give a lot to see Geoff and Enya combine on an older “Celtic” song. Something like that would reach into my soul.
Metal Guy .... I 'almost' didn't watch this because I'm not into metal at all, and your name threw me off. Having said that, I can't tell you how very happy I am watching your reaction. I have been watching every single reaction video I can get my hands on today to 'this' video only. I discovered Geoff Castellucci TODAY I'm embarrassed to say. Your reaction was the same as mine. My eyes bugged out of my head almost, my jaw dropped, and I couldn't move. My heart swelled to the point it brought tears to my eyes involuntarily. You my good man, were the only one (so far) that was not afraid to say as a man that it had you close to tears and you didn't even know 'why'. That tells me a lot about you and it blessed me to my core. Once again I am reminded that you can't judge a book by it's cover (or name) and to pay attention. Your reaction was beautiful, and true. Well done sir. Keep doing 'that'. One more thing, in my looking around today on youtube, I also discovered Tim Storms who holds Guinness book of records for having the lowest bass voice. Look him up singing Lonesome Road (studio version.) Would love to see your reaction to that. It will knock you out of the park.
You're reaction was very similar to mine. This man's voice is something unimaginable. Wow!!
Dude, the manliest of men I know feel that way when Jeff sings. The man is magical.
To me it makes me feel like I was there. and we're all seeing it together.
And it's like a deep emotional moment for us dwarves.
So the performance is amazing and elicits emotion, but how it plays into the lyrics is equally impressive. It is a song of the loss and destruction of home. It is not only rememberance of events, but a call to head back into a deadly situation to reclaim that home... And all the sacrifice that entails.
I could only liken this to the first time I heard a pipe organ concert and the performance went so low it rumbled me out of my seat in tune. Great reaction video 💪😉😁
This song and the way he performed it gives a very somber feel, I feel that these men are preparing to go into battle, one they know they won't return from. So you get the feeling of sadness and regret from them getting ready to face their doom, but in a way you are eased by the fact they know what awaits them but although they are remorseful and saddened about what is coming, they have accepted their fate with the sense of they must face it, to protect their home, family, friends and whatever else their reasons. It is a very well done performance and one that carries a lot of heartache with it
.
I’m fairly new to your channel, and I absolutely love your vibe! I’d just like to say how much I appreciate that you give us your reactions without stopping the video every ten seconds. I love hearing people’s insights, especially from a musical knowledge background, but sometimes I find it takes away from enjoying the song if people pause it too much.
The purity of the heart of the true warrior speaks to us all. Only those who have totally lost their heart and are disconnected from their soul will NOT be touched by this.
i recommend sixteen tons by Geoff. so amazing
I LITERALLY got chills at the low note!! 😮
It's not unusual to want to cry. I can't listen to this without balling like a baby!
I was close too Todd. There’s just something in his voice that is so beautiful and it sent a jolt right to my heart.
Try 'The rising sun' from him. It's relatively new and absolutely amazing ♥
I think that Geoff castellucci captured the emotional spectrum of the dwarves fleeing from there lonely mountain home
I'm not an expert but i was curious to see what the bass sounded in the past. Most happened to be true basso profundo with thick anatomy that limited anything past the 2nd and 3rd octave.
Their default speaking voice was mostly in the 1st octave. The three i named have mostly a 2nd octave speaking voice.
The advantage of being a Bass/Baritone is they can extend their range and reach the same notes as the true basso profundo. They can also extend their range to high 4th and some 5th octave notes.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Its that haunting melody with the background of an Irish ballad. They always get to me
I have only come to know about him a few weeks ago. I grew up with deep voiced men as a child. Listening to him reminds me of that, but as an old lady now he just melts me.
When Geoff harmonizes with himself it really is something special
Geoff has a new song right up your alley house of the rising sun
Tim Foust and Peter Hollens did an amazing cover of this too!
You need to listen to his latest video House of the Rising Sun, its phenomenal and by far my favorite out of all his covers!
Geoff does an amazing job interpreting J.R.R. Tolkien's poem/song from The Hobbit. Not surprising, as Geoff does a phenomenal job in all of his work, and with Voiceplay.
This is based on the musical rendition in the Hobbit movies. Geoff didn’t do the original music, but his version is my favourite ❤️
Peter Hollens is quite skilled at his layering, he’s worth checking out. He does both fun and poignant videos, including a version of this with Tim Foust. It’s very different but equally as good.
It’s weird how that emotion can hit, in Voiceplays cover of Just Sing, there is a high note towards the end that when I first heard it I was just in uncontrollable tears, not even a sad or slow song, just the pure sound pierces something deep
Might I suggest also checking out Voiceplay! Geoff is they're bass singer, and they do some rather impressive covers. I suggest the "Oogie boogie" cover, as well as "Hoist the Colors" for starters.
All of the videos on Geoff's how are great. Another acapella group to check out is voctave. It is an 11-member group if not all then most of them I belong to voices of Liberty Disney.
I weep every time I hear this version of the song.
Love that you react with such feeling.
Misty Mountains, Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust is my favorite version of this song, but this one is nice.
I can sing the lowest notes in this song barley, but I can sing them. Thank you Geoff, because of you I now want to be a bass singer for the rest of my life. ❤
Your reaction is proper...imagine if you will...
Proud ancient dwarves singing of losing their home and people to an unstoppable force and the struggle to not only survive but regain what was theirs. Their lament and hope. Powerful stuff.
This, fuckin' this.
Since you really liked this, I would like you to check out another bassist Tomi P. He is from Chez Republic and has a 6 octave range. I would recommend starting with Hellfire from Notre Dam.
Brother made a "no life shaq" reference and I love it.
first time in this channel, first time listening to this dude. Subscribed just for the fact that this was so genuine that i started tearing up watching you. Fun fact, i'm a metal head as well, the only time this happen to me was hearing Sam Ryder songs, but that was like an incontrolable urge to cry. Like with sobbing, boogers and everything. I was so confused as you were in this video hahaha. Well, long story short, i feel ya buddy
First thing that hit me too. Crying beyond control at the end.
Hey brother. Coming from another metal head this song really hit me hard too. Keep up the amazing stuff dude...
you're not the only one who gets tears from music. it happens to me a lot tbh, mostly with opera.
Teary eyes while Im listening, I dont know why. Man, he's great!
Yeah, Aurora does that to me too. She could sing about washing the dishes, and I'd be there balling my eyes out. Every one of her songs just hits me like that for some reason.
as a guy who grew up on Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, i totally get the wanting to cry bit.
