Avi freaking rocks! So good. Let's set this comment section ablaze - tell me a joke. tell me an interesting fact (does not need to be about Avi, or music at all). Tell me a short story. Go! 🤘
He is also doing livestreams from his home right now. He is doing acoustic versions of his solo work and HIS VOICE IS GLORIOUS. Wow! Seboss12 is posting them to you tube and there are some on his channel as well.
If memory serves me right Avi won the first ever award for human bass guitar, and is a classically trained opera singer. During the competition show "The Sing Off" Avi and Kevin got to be know as "Meat and Potatoes"because of the way they held down rhythm section in Pentatonix.
Avi did all the vocal tracks, including the killer bass undertones. There are instruments, mainly percussion, playing. Live version includes keyboard, drums, bass and electric guitars. Check out Full Moon to hear more of his higher range. He has an acoustic version - with him playing the guitar while singing.
@@jeancaldwell5391 You're not wrong. I think there's more percussion than just a drum, but he tweeted right after the premiere that he uses some percussion and "a little bit of organ," but that all the vocals are him. My impression is that he didn't necessarily PLAY the organ and percussion (though I'm sure he could).
@@janetranslates not sure if he can play the organ, but I bet he did the percussion by himself, in Pentatonix he used to do some minor stuff to assist Kevin in the percurssion so I guess he can handle it
For all of you who are still sad or upset that Avi left Pentatonix...this...THIS...is why! This is what he had been holding up inside of him for all those years. This song is EPIC!! All the vocals are Avi, no other backing vocalists. There is some musical accompaniment on this, as there are on all of his solo songs. No more a cappella for Avi, but the music he is creating now is powerful and MAGNIFICENT!!
Avi is my FAVORITE! He does not disappoint. I love how you’re being sucked in like the rest of us. Also, listen to Pentatonix AHA live in Singapore. You. Will. Die.
@PentaholicSPN FAMILYPotter Head Seriously! I mean, have you heard Kevin's solo stuff?? And he speaks Mandarin AND was premed before getting with PTX AND has perfect pitch? Mitch's inhuman range and insane runs?? Kristin's whistle notes and Broadway vocals?? And don't even get me started on Mr. Soulful Scott and his insanity... It's like the stars aligned with them.
@PentaholicSPN FAMILYPotter Head No, I gotcha. It's annoying how brilliant they all are. My comment was highlighting each of their talents stressing on how annoying it all is they're so amazing. Seriously, stars aligned. Not sure when that's happened before or when something like that will happen again.
Avi Kaplan is SO RAD. If you ever get a chance to see him in concert DO IT! Not only is he an amazing musician but he is also a beautiful and kind man.
I should really be asleep right now. But I've stumbled across you on RUclips. And now I'm rewatching all these lovely Pentatonix videos. And finally this amazing solo Avi song. 😍
It's so frustrating to actually feel someone to your very core and not have the words to describe that feeling. Avi does it every time I hear him! There's no one else like him. Don't think there ever was anyone before him and sure there will never be another one. This man is amazing!!
Seriously i JUST found all his new stuff like, 2 weeks ago.. the first time i heard 'Change.." I seriously cried. my heart about leapt out of my chest. It just started a huge rabbit hole,, ive been listening to all his new stuff lately. I am seriously blown away by this. he was my favorite in Pentatonix.. and now I know why he had to leave.. he was born for this..
I cant get enough of this song. Avi gives off serious Viking vibes in this I swear it ought to be a Viking anthem. As far as what Avi posted its all him.
Based on the sound, I think most if not all of the percussion was body percussion, like claps, stomps, finger snaps, and probably chest thumping for the "bass drum". The only thing I can hear that is definitely an instrument is a keyboard or synth in the bridge section.
@@BusinessCasualLabCoat This will help anyone wondering...ruclips.net/video/xNUXci7Lpq4/видео.html Also there are different occasions of him doing this song live.
I'm so happy you are finally are watching this! He also loops himself live to sing along to himself. It's a sight to behold. Plus, yes, all the accompanying voices are him. Please listen to his audio only Full Moon. You're welcome in advance.
QotD "My brain stops working when this guy's voice is on."--Jase 2020 --How every Avi fan feels and we totally enjoy it. **btw, new subscriber here! You have great taste in music and great insight.
He just released an EP and it's fantastic! Well worth checking out his solo music. Thank you to Leslie for her request. LOVE Avi. He had a 4 song live video from the youtube studios last month. All songs from the new EP. It was super. I was supposed to see him on the 1st but obviously cancelled. Was so disappointed as I was looking so forward to it. Saw him last year as well and it was a show to remember. Lovely man.
Jase, you’ve been brought to another level of perfection!! Avi never disappoints!! With that said, you asked for a story(Avi-I’ll Get By).... Resonates so much with this song and video in many ways and years of my life.... My Sister was killed in a car accident on Mother’s Day, my Dad passed away on March 22,2013. My Younger Brother had a brain tumor removed and suffered a stroke during surgery that same year(November 4,2013). So now, in my life with the ones I Love Dearly(Mom,Brother, and My Brothers Son who is 7).... With All on my shoulders, “I’ll Get By”, is my “Theme Song”!!! Thank you Leslie for the request”Change on The Rise”!! Thank You Jase for Your Awesome Content and Reactions!! Much Love, Billy😌♥️
I'd like to recommend giving Kevin a watch, too; his studio performance KOvers are amazing. My recommendation: Kevin Olusula - Down (Marion Hill KOver). Plus a challenge with that video: try not to let your mouth hang open when you watch it. ;)
I recommended he check out KO too! I honestly don’t think he’ll be able to keep his jaw from hanging - I can’t! 😂🤩🤯 Definitely under appreciated in PTX
They very low bass warble is avi. Avi said in an interview that in all of his songs he loves to put that super low base line even if sometimes you cant hear it (in this you clearly can, but you know what I mean). He said that you sometimes dont notice it, but youd miss it if it wasnt there
It's really an insidious song, isn't it? You think it's kinda slow and nice, but you'll find it running through your head at odd times and then you have to go back and listen to it again. That's what makes it awesome.
Avi also does this very cool thing called overtone singing, which means singing two notes at the same time and can be hard to hear in songs that he uses it in because it blends in very well. It wasn’t in this song but it is in some of the Pentatonix songs from the past. You should check out a video about his overtone singing, whether on the channel or on your own. It is a really cool thing
I just discovered you and looking forward to watching your videos (past and future lol). My brain also stops working when Avi sings. Right along with Mitch. PTX is still good, but I admit I loved them better with Avi. Yet I've been adoring Avi's solo music!
I had the great pleasure of seeing him in concert in Chicago, March 2019. It was an amazing show. The best was when he did this song! It's awesome to hear it with headphone, but to hear it live is AMAZING!!! The whole song vibrated in you body but the deep bass REALLY rattled your chest!! We will absolutely positively be at his next concert!¡ You really should check him out in concert. You wont be disappointed.. Rock On!!
How did I miss commenting on this 'reaction' Jase it's obvious you 'get' Avi. This was written to tell us he's changed his direction and getting back to his roots. Such a powerful song. This is all Avi except for and organ he used and the clapping .....It's all him....Pay attention to when he sings the words...'We're going strong" the boom is not a drum it's his magnificent bass.....Ah love this man
I was supposed to see him in DC on 4/4, but Corona had different ideas. I absolutely *will* see him when life gets back to normal and his tour is rescheduled.
as someone who has loved avi & pentatonix for YEARS i’m so happy to see someone fall for them as well! Avi uses instruments in his solo music but he does back himself up as well 😂 this is actually my son’s favorite song! sing the day he was born it calms him instantly! ❤️ you should also check out Avi’s song called It Knows Me.. even if not for a video.. just if ya love avi!
I love Avi! It was sad to see him leave Pentatonix, but he is finally doing his own style of music. I got the cd (which was back ordered) and it’s fantastic! I think on this track he sings his own harmony and they use some instruments in a couple spots. Avi fans, correct me if I got it wrong.
well! this is what he wanted to do after the breakup with PTX.. so what u hear is all him! one of the most talented singers ive heard! he regeister is unbeliveble!
Avi can actually sing with overtones which is insane. Sounds like multiple voices by changing the space in his mouth. Look up Avi singing overtones here on RUclips. You’ll freak. But on this song he did record his low notes as the harmonies on it.
Avi is AMAZING each of his songs can be very different but they all have great messages. Not accapell in this some instrumentation, but ALL vocals are Avi. Avi plays guitar for most of his songs. So much more from him waiting for you to discover!
The really low stuff in the background is him. He did the same effect for the soundtrack of the move Blade Runner 2049. Look for the "Wallace Headquarters" version on u-tube and you'll here it there way at the bottom of your hearing, and not realize at first it's an actual voice... Avi's voice.
Yess , my favorite , you make my day :) :) !! I love his music (and him as a person as well ) , it's so different then with PTX ( which I love as well ), but his own music is more folk/bleugrass. I love the tone of his voice, it's like dark chocolate :), so warm and rich !! He's a great vocalist , but does a lot of whistling in his songs and he can do overtone singing , you should check that out, it's awesome !! All the vocals you hear are his , there's only some organ in it and a tambourine I think. Other great songs are "Full Moon" , " I'll get by" , "Born in California" . Well , actually every song of him is great ( sorry, I will stop fangirling now , LOL )
@@jelinenanashi9466 I saw him singing this song with a choir a year ago on RUclips and fell in love with the song right away. It made me so happy that it's on his new EP :) !
The acoustic version that he did on the you tube livestream with his band is my absolute favorite version of Full Moon. His voice was stellar in that one.
@@jasenyoface7555 I've been following Pentatonix since season 3 of the sing off show. Extremely talented and their range of music is rediculous. Can't go wrong with anything they do. Thank you for your response. I'm pretty sure we have all taken human interaction for granted! Lol
I would absolutely love to see Avi sing "Old Man River." I fell in love with that song when I was really young. The man that made the song famous would close out Memphis in May with it every year.
Avi is doing all of the bass and vocals, the only instruments here are the percussion and the organ, but the rest is Avi’s voice. He goes really low here, C1 in growl and G#1 and probably one chest G1.
He has so many textures & such a range. I love hearing the different colors in his voice from song to song. This was his raw carnal sound. All him. His creation. Love it!! I also loved the melancholic strength in his vulnerability in the PTX cover of Imagine (all of PTX were genius of course.....plus......John Lennon❤) & their original song Run to You (mostly penned by himself & Kevin).....it's literally ethereal. I get lost EVERY TIME.
This song takes me to some warrior movie. Perfect song for going into battle (in my opinion). Also love Otherside and The Summit. Love the range of Avi!
Avi Kaplan. Tim foust. Geoff castelucci. They Lal so amazing. Voiceplay and homefree are mind blowing as you have seen voctave "come all year faithful" if you want some real goosebumps
I'll add another Avi request, but it's not one that is mentioned here. The first solo single he released (well, Avriel and the Sequoias, which was his first solo project) was entitled "Fields and Pier". It is *not* a cappella (he plays his guitar throughout, there are strings, and Kevin's custom-tuned cello is heard as well), but it is a wonderful song. The scenery is lovely too--Avi searched for locations to film the video, and while much of it was filmed in Central California (where he grew up), the pier is in Oregon. It is very different from anything he ever did with Pentatonix, and is quite different from "Change on the Rise" as well (although, to be fair, *everything* he has done is different from "Change on the Rise").

Avi freaking rocks! So good.
Let's set this comment section ablaze - tell me a joke. tell me an interesting fact (does not need to be about Avi, or music at all). Tell me a short story. Go!
🤘
He is also doing livestreams from his home right now. He is doing acoustic versions of his solo work and HIS VOICE IS GLORIOUS. Wow! Seboss12 is posting them to you tube and there are some on his channel as well.
Geoff Castellucci, the bass from Voiceplay, created the arrangement for Home Free's cover of Elvira ft. the Oak Ridge Boys. It's amazing!
All vocal is Avi.. No many instruments..
If memory serves me right Avi won the first ever award for human bass guitar, and is a classically trained opera singer. During the competition show "The Sing Off" Avi and Kevin got to be know as "Meat and Potatoes"because of the way they held down rhythm section in Pentatonix.

Check out Full Moon to hear more of his higher range. He has an acoustic version - with him playing the guitar while singing.
Avi's voice is dark chocolate for the soul and melted caramel for the ears.
Excellent description 😌🙂
Add a cup of black coffee to that and I'm in.
Mmmm yes.
Lol...so true...great way to word the love..😍😍😍😍💜💜💜💜
He's like a strong coffee to the soul
Does anybody else listen to this song & suddenly feel the urge to grab a Viking Axe & go sack a small village right quick?!
BLM must've heard it.
Brother Lets go make the All Father proud :)
I'm getting Thorin Oakenshield vibes here
No.Not like that.But a iconic song to take the US back from JB and to support DT -if nevcessary via civil wars
Lol
Avi did all the tracks (bass, high-ish second voice, instruments, all that)
I may be wrong, but in more than one comment from Avi, there is an organ and a drum accompanying him. It’s very subtle though. Most of it is just Avi.
@@jeancaldwell5391 You're not wrong. I think there's more percussion than just a drum, but he tweeted right after the premiere that he uses some percussion and "a little bit of organ," but that all the vocals are him.

really
@@janetranslates not sure if he can play the organ, but I bet he did the percussion by himself, in Pentatonix he used to do some minor stuff to assist Kevin in the percurssion so I guess he can handle it
He has a band... He did all the main vocals and lower back vocals at the beginning of the 1st and 2nd verse. But his band does the main backing vocals
For all of you who are still sad or upset that Avi left Pentatonix...this...THIS...is why! This is what he had been holding up inside of him for all those years. This song is EPIC!! All the vocals are Avi, no other backing vocalists. There is some musical accompaniment on this, as there are on all of his solo songs. No more a cappella for Avi, but the music he is creating now is powerful and MAGNIFICENT!!
He certainly did the right thing, PTX now have Matt. So a win all round to think we might not have got to hear the real Avi
He looks like one of those crazy hermits who has just come down from the mountain with a message from God.
Hell yeah he does, and the message is "change is coming! You punks better get ready!" Yes, sir.
I’d listen 😂
Your not far from the truth. He spent quite sometime after leaving pentatonix in seclusion finding him self. His music is a reflection of that.
If he wants to hear the other side of the scale we should have him listen to Aha! By pentatonix
Taylor May Aha! LIVE in Singapore at the Star Vista to be exact 😉
Pleeeease
Yes!!! This would be amazing!!
Megan and at this performance avi almost blows the speakers with his low not at t he beginning!!
YES! That one is intense asf
Yes he’s doing the bass notes underneath him singing
"My brain stops working when this guy's voice is on."
Exactly.
Avi is my FAVORITE! He does not disappoint. I love how you’re being sucked in like the rest of us. Also, listen to Pentatonix AHA live in Singapore. You. Will. Die.
Yes! Aha!, Singapore live is so fucking good.
Its a twofer, so need to be brushed up on superfruit as well before going into that one in order to appreciate it in its totality.
Yes!!! I need this reaction!!!
yes, yes, YES!!!!! that is my favorite video to exist EVER!!! it does not dissapoint
Wanna see more with Avi ?
Dance of the sugar plum fairy, PTX.
Just, that song
YES I love it
;)
YES
YAS
YES!!
It's not that your brain stops working when you hear him...it's that he speaks directly to the primal part of your soul.
"The Summit" by Avi is also very good and shows his super deep voice off quite nicely.. Not to mention his crazy range.
I played that song for my mom and she had a hard time believing it was the same person singing!
@@professionalvampire1 Honestly I have been a huge fan of Avi for years and I had a hard time believing that both parts were Avi lol
That and “Chains.”
I love that song. 😍😍
Avi also does a pretty cool thing called overtone singing where he actually sings two notes at once. There are a bunch of videos out there of it
I was going to comment about his overtone singing. He's only scratched the surface with Avi's talents! Everyone from PTX is so multi talented.
@PentaholicSPN FAMILYPotter Head Seriously! I mean, have you heard Kevin's solo stuff?? And he speaks Mandarin AND was premed before getting with PTX AND has perfect pitch? Mitch's inhuman range and insane runs?? Kristin's whistle notes and Broadway vocals?? And don't even get me started on Mr. Soulful Scott and his insanity... It's like the stars aligned with them.
@PentaholicSPN FAMILYPotter Head No, I gotcha. It's annoying how brilliant they all are. My comment was highlighting each of their talents stressing on how annoying it all is they're so amazing. Seriously, stars aligned. Not sure when that's happened before or when something like that will happen again.
Jeline Nanashi also Kevin can play cello right?
Isha Valluri yes!! And he plays BEAUTIFULLY 😍
Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan in Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair.
Was gonna suggest this!
Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!
YYYYAAAASSSSSSSS
I think that Black is the Color... is the best thing Avi has done. Peter is also remarkable. I watch it every few days.
Most definitely! Beautiful!
If you think you’re ready for it: Black is the Color (of My True Love’s Hair) - Avi and Peter Hollens
It is an incredible song.
Do it.
Yes, just love that one so much!
Pentatonix - Aha Singapure, would be amazing to see you react to Avi's lowest note I ever heard.
Like if you agree Pentaholics
Can't go in there yet! Need to check out superfruit first to appreciate everything in Aha! Singapore. Get more intimate with them first.
The note in aha is definitely not his lowest lol.
Natural disasters Springfield could compete with that
Aha is mind blowing!!!!
Actually his lowest note ever is in this song. A growled C1
Oh SHIT!! I've been sleeping on Avi as a solo artist. This is AMAZING. Truly the first I've heard Avi by himself. Love his voice. Love the song.
This is so fabulous. "We're singin' all day and you can't tame it" has to be one of the best lyrics ever. That voice. Yum.
Avi Kaplan is SO RAD. If you ever get a chance to see him in concert DO IT! Not only is he an amazing musician but he is also a beautiful and kind man.
Rochelle Hershberger What she said!!!
If i were 25 years younger (and single+_...he'd be rejecting me right now! lol
I’d love to see him live, I agree that he seems such a lovely human being
I should really be asleep right now. But I've stumbled across you on RUclips. And now I'm rewatching all these lovely Pentatonix videos. And finally this amazing solo Avi song. 😍
His vocals are phenomenal. The fact that he does layered vocal tracks in the background just really adds to it all.
It's so frustrating to actually feel someone to your very core and not have the words to describe that feeling. Avi does it every time I hear him! There's no one else like him. Don't think there ever was anyone before him and sure there will never be another one. This man is amazing!!
Seriously i JUST found all his new stuff like, 2 weeks ago.. the first time i heard 'Change.." I seriously cried. my heart about leapt out of my chest. It just started a huge rabbit hole,, ive been listening to all his new stuff lately. I am seriously blown away by this. he was my favorite in Pentatonix.. and now I know why he had to leave.. he was born for this..
So glad you found his music! It's wonderful isn't it!? He has been doing live acoustic versions from his home the last few weeks. They are so good!
everyone in unison: THANK YOU LEESSLIIEEEEE!
i love listening to ur reactions with avi singing he was also my fav from ptx u rock #jasenyoface
A i is my favorite. I cried when he left PTX, but love love love what he has been doing Since!!! His voice is so so beautiful.
Totally agree
I cant get enough of this song. Avi gives off serious Viking vibes in this I swear it ought to be a Viking anthem. As far as what Avi posted its all him.
Great reaction! Avi did all of the vocals with just a couple of percussive instruments. Those low notes are him, and all of the layered harmonies
Avi is a god amongst men. Hands down my favorite artist.
One. Hundred. Percent.
I have watched a ton of reactions to this video. The "head bob" always happens. Thanks for this reaction, loved it!!!
It's not acappella but there are only a few instruments, mainly percussion. All voices are Avi's. Bass too, obviously!
Maria Moumtzi *Aviously 😏
Based on the sound, I think most if not all of the percussion was body percussion, like claps, stomps, finger snaps, and probably chest thumping for the "bass drum". The only thing I can hear that is definitely an instrument is a keyboard or synth in the bridge section.

@@mas719 Yeap, Aviously!!!
JUST SUBSCRIBED TODAY 1/23/21 AND NOTICED THE VIDEO WAS POSTED ON MY BIRTHDAY NEAT HIS VOICE IS INSANE
I'm so happy you are finally are watching this!
He also loops himself live to sing along to himself. It's a sight to behold.
Plus, yes, all the accompanying voices are him.
Please listen to his audio only Full Moon. You're welcome in advance.

2:02 That moment when Avi's lead vocals start, and you know you're in for it.

I agree. His live shows are unforgettable and the acoustic versions he does just blow me away.
Congratulations! You are one of the very few people to pronounce my name correctly!
Yes, but he wrote it wrong in the patreon list!
So I saw. He'll fix it, and even if he doesn't, it's no big deal.
What!? I did!? total facepalm moment...fixing now.
Avi Kaplan “Otherside”. Sit back, close your eyes and let him take you away with him. Avi is amazing and I can’t wait to hear more 👍
Otherside is my alarm in the morning - I have my alarm set a few minutes before I /actually/ need to get up so I can just let it run

Definitely under appreciated in PTX
second this!!!
They very low bass warble is avi. Avi said in an interview that in all of his songs he loves to put that super low base line even if sometimes you cant hear it (in this you clearly can, but you know what I mean). He said that you sometimes dont notice it, but youd miss it if it wasnt there

That is Avi doing it all, and blending it in...

BTW: be ready on Twitter... you’ll gain a lot of subs from there. 😉 INCOMING!
I just discovered you and looking forward to watching your videos (past and future lol).
My brain also stops working when Avi sings. Right along with Mitch. PTX is still good, but I admit I loved them better with Avi. Yet I've been adoring Avi's solo music!
Thank you so much for reviewing that song! Avi has such a different style. So smooth.
When it was over you looked disappointed that it was over. i get that same feeling and watch it over again.
I love how in love with Avi you are. Ive been listening to him and pentatonix for years and hes always been my favorite.
Yo, I just discovered your channel and subbed right away
And also, Holy crap Avi is amazing
I had the great pleasure of seeing him in concert in Chicago, March 2019. It was an amazing show. The best was when he did this song!

We will absolutely positively be at his next concert!¡ You really should check him out in concert. You wont be disappointed.. Rock On!!
You need to see him live. Life changing!!
You want the bass? Check out "Chains" :) He also does a cover of Hey Ya, that demonstrates more of his range.
How did I miss commenting on this 'reaction' Jase it's obvious you 'get' Avi. This was written to tell us he's changed his direction and getting back to his roots. Such a powerful song. This is all Avi except for and organ he used and the clapping .....It's all him....Pay attention to when he sings the words...'We're going strong" the boom is not a drum it's his magnificent bass.....Ah love this man
Great reaction. I saw him live in London in January, such a fantastic show.
I was supposed to see him in DC on 4/4, but Corona had different ideas. I absolutely *will* see him when life gets back to normal and his tour is rescheduled.
Leslie Albrecht I had tickets for 4 Home Free shows end of March..........bloody virus.🤬
as someone who has loved avi & pentatonix for YEARS i’m so happy to see someone fall for them as well!

AVI did all it!!! 💞 ALOHA FROM HAWAI'I 💞🌹 LYSSA 🌹
I think my favourite Avi Kaplan song is 'Full Moon'. It has a sort of ethereal but haunting quality to it.
Now that you've heard Avi by himself, you should check out Scott Hoying's cover of I Should Tell Ya Mamma on You.
I second that!
I agree
Yesss!!! A must!!!!!
Please please do
I forgot that existed and you're bringing back some great memories
Aaay my favourite song in a looong time! Goosebumps and breathless
jase i have been a fan of the pentatonix style since i was in 10th grade graduated in 04 the power of voice is incredible
Avi can actually sing with overtones which is insane. Sounds like multiple voices by changing the space in his mouth. Look up Avi singing overtones here on RUclips. You’ll freak. But on this song he did record his low notes as the harmonies on it.
Avi ❤️
I have completely enjoyed watching you fall in love with Avi!
Avi is AMAZING each of his songs can be very different but they all have great messages. Not accapell in this some instrumentation, but ALL vocals are Avi.
Avi plays guitar for most of his songs.
So much more from him waiting for you to discover!
My reaction at the very beginning was the same as yours! What a voice!!!
Avi is like best ever! So much talent in one man. This is insane.
Avi.... That is all! ♥️
Yes!! Avi is AWESOME!!!!
Avi is actually an incredible musician as well as a vocalist.
This has the depth of an old time spiritual. Wow.
So happy you found Avi solo. He's amazing!!!
Avi Kaplan. “Quarter past four” is my favorite for hard times like this!
The really low stuff in the background is him. He did the same effect for the soundtrack of the move Blade Runner 2049. Look for the "Wallace Headquarters" version on u-tube and you'll here it there way at the bottom of your hearing, and not realize at first it's an actual voice... Avi's voice.
That's simply amazing to listen to.
U get the goosebumps I get the shiver down my spine and just melt to the floor
Yess , my favorite , you make my day :) :) !! I love his music (and him as a person as well ) , it's so different then with PTX ( which I love as well ), but his own music is more folk/bleugrass.
I love the tone of his voice, it's like dark chocolate :), so warm and rich !! He's a great vocalist , but does a lot of whistling in his songs and he can do overtone singing , you should check that out,
it's awesome !!
All the vocals you hear are his , there's only some organ in it and a tambourine I think. Other great songs are "Full Moon" , " I'll get by" , "Born in California" .
Well , actually every song of him is great ( sorry, I will stop fangirling now , LOL )
Full Moon has been my anthem lately. Well, more like the song that eases my stress and calms my soul.
@@jelinenanashi9466 I saw him singing this song with a choir a year ago on RUclips and fell in love with the song right away. It made me so happy that it's on his new EP :) !
The acoustic version that he did on the you tube livestream with his band is my absolute favorite version of Full Moon. His voice was stellar in that one.
My favorite singer , glad you've discovered him!
I like that shirt bro! Sriracha!!! Keep rockin' my new friend! Just stumbled on your channel. Good stuff!
we're keeping it spicy over here - thanks for rocking with me!
@@jasenyoface7555 I've been following Pentatonix since season 3 of the sing off show. Extremely talented and their range of music is rediculous. Can't go wrong with anything they do. Thank you for your response. I'm pretty sure we have all taken human interaction for granted! Lol
Avi is awsome this is one of my favourites love his voice!
This is an awesome song just hearing for the first time
I would absolutely love to see Avi sing "Old Man River." I fell in love with that song when I was really young. The man that made the song famous would close out Memphis in May with it every year.
Avi is doing all of the bass and vocals, the only instruments here are the percussion and the organ, but the rest is Avi’s voice. He goes really low here, C1 in growl and G#1 and probably one chest G1.
I am so glad you came up in my recommendations! It's delightful to watch a person enjoy art with pure enthusiasm and no reservations. You're fun. :)
This is All Avi !!!!!
He has so many textures & such a range. I love hearing the different colors in his voice from song to song. This was his raw carnal sound. All him. His creation. Love it!! I also loved the melancholic strength in his vulnerability in the PTX cover of Imagine (all of PTX were genius of course.....plus......John Lennon❤) & their original song Run to You (mostly penned by himself & Kevin).....it's literally ethereal. I get lost EVERY TIME.
Ok...dang that was such a great song!
This song takes me to some warrior movie. Perfect song for going into battle (in my opinion). Also love Otherside and The Summit. Love the range of Avi!
Thanks, Leslie
There are some minor percussion (tambourine) that isn't him. But otherwise this is all him. He layed tracks. Amazing!!!!
Avi Kaplan. Tim foust. Geoff castelucci. They Lal so amazing. Voiceplay and homefree are mind blowing as you have seen voctave "come all year faithful" if you want some real goosebumps
You should really react to “Man of Constant Sorrow” or “Hillbilly Bone” both by Home Free
Joshua Braselton Tim Foust is a King. Not to mention Austin? ♥️
Yes! Pretty pretty please! I was a die hard PTX fan until i discovered Home Free... my favorites are Man of Constant Sorrow and Elvira.
Always love Avi reactions.
All voices are him, tracked.
This video will have to go into my watch later list because I will stay up all night thinking about Avi as a concept
I'll add another Avi request, but it's not one that is mentioned here. The first solo single he released (well, Avriel and the Sequoias, which was his first solo project) was entitled "Fields and Pier". It is *not* a cappella (he plays his guitar throughout, there are strings, and Kevin's custom-tuned cello is heard as well), but it is a wonderful song. The scenery is lovely too--Avi searched for locations to film the video, and while much of it was filmed in Central California (where he grew up), the pier is in Oregon. It is very different from anything he ever did with Pentatonix, and is quite different from "Change on the Rise" as well (although, to be fair, *everything* he has done is different from "Change on the Rise").
My god, fields and pier is definitely my favourite song from Avi. It's so relaxing
