    THIS WAS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!! You guys did such a great job. 😭😭😭😭 We're all sad to see Earl go, but I'm sure that he's doing good, wherever he is!!! Layne, your singing is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Geoff's voice too. And Eli's, and J.none's. And Earls voice. Even though he's gone, we still have all of your old song with him in it!!!!

    I was sure this was Geoff's arrangement before I even read the description to confirm. The focus on gentle, slow harmonies is a clear trademark, while Layne is more theatrical. (both brilliant). This is so beautiful. I love that Layne's voice is so clear in it, and the emotion is very well communicated. Great song choice, too. Just sweet and perfect.

    Voiceplay has had drastic changes, from '97 until now the band became deformed and progressively became a different band ... but they never lost the harmonic magic, the musical and personal beauty and the individual and group talent that characterizes them. I'm pretty sure that while Earl's departure is very painful, in the long run both (Earl and current and / or future members of Voiceplay) are going to be happy. All changes hurt ... but when one door closes another opens: this is life. Thanks for everything Earl ... and long live Voiceplay !!

      Earl quit, then J left for the Navy (hopefully will be back) and in return we got sassy Cesar, as well as introduced to amazing featured guests like Deejay Young, EJ and Omar Cardona, Ashley Diane, and Anthony Gargiula. Eli grew a beard and suddenly Rock-God Eli burst forth with a gritty wail. Layne discovered new portals into Hades from whence he conjures unearthly vocal sounds. Geoff hit a B0 and started a solo channel to bless us with double the musical goodness. Yes, change hurts... but look how far they have come!

    Why have I never heard of this piece before? You can hear the haunting melancholy in the notes. I lean my head against my wall and let it wash over me as I close my eyes and cry. Voiceplay’s cover’s is like a friend who taps you on the shoulder when they notice your turmoil and with open arms envelops you in the biggest hug ever so that you can lean in and just cry…..sob your heart out. You can feel the love exuding from the music.
    Seeing as this came out a while ago you may or may not see this, but I’m grateful you guys covered this because it gives me comfort especially with all the pain and anguish I’ve had to deal with the last seven years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me hope again.

      It's difficult to hold back the tears, keep a straight face, and record a song at the same time. Earl's friendship with Geoff and Layne went way, way back when they were still very young, and then with Tony, Eli and J years after so it's understandable. God, I wish there is a chance for them to reunite, even just for one song. They have a marvelous harmony, a great relationship together.

    Earl-though he's not is this video, his high notes are angelic and powerful, his "laser beam like" tone is so amazing. Thanks for singing in Voiceplay for all these years that we get to hear your precious voice.
    Eli-perfect riffs and runs. I personally love his masked head voice and belting a lot. I don't think I have to mention how beautiful Eli's voice is as every Voiceplay fan knows it.
    J-super smooth and solid voice. I'm sorry I don't have any more words to describe his voice(bad English haha. It's super good anyways). (and of coz J is soo cute)
    Geoff-Umm... I think everyone is clear about that already... DaT rAnge, dAt voIcE
    Layne-love his super light tone in his upper range and hella powerful tone in his lower range. In this video we get to hear him sing a lot too❤ Also, his beatboxing is aMaZiNg

    Its very sad to see Earl go. I honestly never thought i'd see the day he wouldn't be in this group. I found the band back in January after seeing Home Free for the first time. But i think that if you wanted a good placement for the time being or maybe permanently, i think that y'all should give John Pinto a call. He did a great job in "It aint me" and his voice also sits just above everybody else's. Something to consider. Best of luck in the future guys.

But this song reminds me to remember the love, and the good moments with him, and to just appreciate the years I’ve been blessed to have him. I know my sweet buddy knows I love him, and I feel his love, we’re surrounded by each other’s. So thank you. This brings me a little peace. And it’s just gorgeous.

    Revisiting this today in the middle of some family hardships. I heard this song on my playlist earlier today, before it happened, and... I just had to watch it over again now.
    Things are really uncertain right now, and we're afraid of a potential loss. But... well, one thing that has been a comfort to me is the simple thought: nothing is lost. Not really. Not forever. That has come back to me a lot. And I don't know if this will find someone else in worry or grief, but if it does, I hope it helps you. Nothing is lost.
    I know I'll never see any of your faces, but if anyone reads this, I would appreciate your prayers for things to work out for us.

So once again, thank you for the prayers and thoughts and wishes for our help and comfort! It's amazing to think that we can find total strangers praying for us in the midst of our troubles. So thank you. :)

Although it's sad, we have to accept it and continue to grow and keep doing what we do. This kind of pain really brokes my heart, just like what Avi did from Pentatonix. What I just hope is that of course, you guys should still be friends and support each other even though you have your separate ways. Goodluck to all your future endeavors.
