    I like how in the Monster Mash video it's implied that Geoff built himself a Kathy (bride-of-frankenstein style) and in this video shows Kathy building herself a Geoff~

    Kathy keeps everyone in line (well, as much as anyone can). She's an integral part of Voiceplay.
    That falsetto of Anthony's is .... wow!

    • @CapriUni

      My favorite comment on the original video was (something like): I knew Kathy keeps the guys' heads on straight, but I didn't realize it was literally... Seriously, everyone should watch the original video for its comment section. The dad jokes there are top notch.

      I can produce all of his notes in falsetto, but nowhere near his grace, which is what separates a baritone from a proper tenor. The same goes for Geoff's chest base notes; I can produce them, but nowhere near his quality and grace.

    I love seeing Mortius swoon over something pretty from VoicePlay, and then combining it with a little lesson in time signatures only makes it better ❤

  • @CJ_536
    @CJ_536 Год назад +16

    love that you pointed out the time signature. An important point is that 6/8 and 3/4 time are the traditional waltz tempos (that box step is 1-2-3, 1-2-3, etc), which is why we associate it with classic love songs. And NO - the original is not 6/8. It is 4/4. By changing the tempo, VoicePlay reinforced the concept that this is an intimate love song. Subtle and beautiful story telling. and I loved your expression on that beautiful "SHINE" chord. That chord is the most perfect thing I have heard in music in a long time. I just want to live there. :)

  • @ilonadever8249

  • @patriciaschuman4205
    @patriciaschuman4205 Год назад +22

    Layne had to outsource part of the keying I think not only due to Cesar's beard but ends of Geoff's hair making it very difficult to get a clean outline otherwise. I'm trying to remember if he said that he might have been able to do it, but the sheer amount of time it was going to take him to do it meant it made more sense to outsource it.

    • @felicitymcdonald24

  • @CapriUni
    @CapriUni Год назад +31

    I hadn't heard original at all till I heard this cover. I've since gone back to listen to it, and I have to say that the bridge that Geoff wrote, composed and arranged. (from "Can you ever really know how you built..." at 12:55 to "please don't fade away into the darkness of night") is my favorite part -- makes it a much deeper love song.

    • @CapriUni
      @CapriUni Год назад +2

      I just had a thought: If the original time signature is 12/8, and Layne's arrangement is 6/8 (does he say it's 6/8?), does that mean that Layne "Slowed down time"? Mad Lad.

  • @Wildecat10
    @Wildecat10 Год назад +30

    It was Layne! Of course he messed with the time signatures.
    The name of the toy shop was provided by German patrons and translates as VoicePlay.
    Layne said that originally Kathy wanted him to play the part of the man she made, but since Geoff has never run the steadycam that wouldn’t work.
    Layne did have in mind one last shot that would have tied things up, but he forgot to get the shot, so we ended up with this sweet love story. (I think it would have been good either way)

Like that harmony at the climax of the song is just ethereal. Thanks for the great reaction as always friend💜

    Thank you for explaining time signatures. I never knew that, and that illuminated SO much ( I'm a musical idiot). One reason I love you is that you don't treat your listeners as stupid, but you realize that some of us have not been exposed to the nitty-gritty of of how the 'sausage' is ground...🤣 Mortius, you are glorious, and I mean that in every sense. 💘 I have always loved Geoff's sound (his voice cuts through my hearing loss), but good headphones have allowed me to hear Anthony, Cesar, Eli, and the Cardona brothers and opened new worlds for me.

    My very limited knowledge of Italian names makes me think it might be gar ZHOO la (for all I know Anthony is Greek, though, so definitely grain of salt). Speaking as someone who also has a name nobody pronounces right when they see it in writing, I empathize.
    I felt the exact same way about that sustained chord. That was angels singing.
    There’s a background bit where SOMEBODY hits a B5 early in the song, and I’m dying to know who. And also NOBODY is talking about Geoff’s downward arpeggios, but they’re SWEET.

    6/8 time can also be counted as a very slow 2. I think it just depends on how the music is organized. If it is counted as a slow 2 beats, it still has the feel of a triplet. Instead of it being counted as 1 2 3 4 5 6, it would be counted more as 1 2 but feeling the beat of the three eighth notes being played in a row.

    You mentioned in the video if they might have had difficulty with editing Cesar and Eli's beards, but honestly I also wonder if some of Geoff's hair got "chopped off" in the editing process as well and that's why his head looks a bit "off" compared to Layne or Anthony for example? 🤔
    Honestly I avoided watching Golden Hour for a while because I saw the thumbnail and I was like "hm this seems just a *little* too weird for my brain to fully process" (still listened to it on Spotify though). Glad I eventually did though, because that ending made the whole thing worth it! 💜
