Though Kevin doesn't take a solo lead in this, the fact that he is singing the whole time lets them do more complex chords with more tension and release. The way Matt and Mitch bend their vocal tone to Match in their duets gives an eerie one voice two notes effect. Their near-neutral facial expressions that shift to fear, anger, despair (and a little hope), and the extreme close-ups show it all. This one hits hard.
Agree!
Yes!! I have been in love with this song since the 80s when Tears for Fears released the original, then when Gary Jules covered it I loved that even better. And now, well, we already know that Ptx does upgrades! It just blows me away. That wall of sound toward the end gave me a religious experience!
Very well summed up. *nods*
This was made during the lockdown here in the states. It's amazing what they accomplished during lockdown. Check out their cover of Billie Eilish's When The Party's Over, or their rapping cover of "Cant Hold Us". You'll love the concept!!!
OMG!! Can't Hold Us will kill him!!! Well, maybe he'll survive. Let's risk it!!! 😏💜
Definitely do Can't Hold Us!!!
I've really enjoyed tho whole At Home EP Pentatonix recorded when they had to stay, well, at home because of the pandemic situation. Blinded by the Light and When the Party's Over are the ones I listen to the most. I understand if it's a bit too polished for your taste, but it's extra impressive, because they had to arrange it remotely and then do their own sound, light and make-up for the recordings. It's when you go:"doing virtual choirs if fun if you can't sing with other people live, but you always end up looking and sounding like an idiot" and then Pentatonix goes:"Hold our five glasses of Perrier". I suppose it helps that they have proper mics and lighting instead of whatever crap you had at home, but still... Looks and sounds really good!
This is a perfect song for their style of singing, especially Scott's passion. The blend of Matt and Mitch is just auditory perfection. I love hearing Mitch let rip with the high notes as much as the next person, but his lower register is just as stunning... it resonates somewhere deep inside, I just love to hear it.
This hits hard now, but when it came out at the height of the pandemic in 2020 it spoke volumes at how different things had become. They did so well at capturing how I felt, and how so many others felt. But... not everything they do is so serious! Try their original song Sing for something a lot more fun and upbeat. You won't be able to get it out of your head.
All that I have are two expressions through this with tears in my eyes.
“I feel you” and “the song hits you right in the feels” 🥺🥰
This was the perfect Covid Pandemic song. The did it during the summer of 2020. They released it after the Home EP also known as the lockdown EP. Just haunting. One of their best arrangements. The way they use silence between the voices and notes, or going from layers of voices to a single voice to finish a line is just devastatingly beautiful.
You have to check out their version of the Prayer!! You will be annihilated by all of them, in a good way of course! This one could possibly give them their 4th Grammy and will leave you speechless! Enjoy!! 😁
What’s a family without sauce? I’m dead. 😂Yay! PTX! I love your reactions to their music. I literally laughed out loud. For the ultimate Mitch slap, do the Singapore AHA performance. I think you’ll survive! Since it’s filmed by an audience member, you don’t need to worry about the record label. Also…Bohemian Rhapsody.
Also a decent Avi attack.
@@Tammy-km5uf the bass singer was the new guy who took over Avi's place when Avi left the group. His sound in this was amazingly haunted.
I meant in the Aha video
Great reaction. I love their version of this song. What you said makes total sense, they are known for their twists and turns and then hitting you with their signature PTX wall of sound! And we always come back for more! I'm so sorry things have been so difficult lately for you and your family, I really do hope things improve for the better soon.
❤️ this arrangement. And thanks for posting- having a bad pain night, and can’t sleep. I appreciate your posts!
ETA: Consider checking out their cover of Take on Me. There is no video for it - just audio. And it’s a full display of Mitch’s insanely huge range.
So sorry about your pain. I also suffer from chronic pain, so I sympathize. Have been having it for 20 years. No cure for my issue. Hope you're doing better now! I fall asleep at night listening to Ptx thru headphones. Works better than medicine!! 😉
@@beverlykrebs4372 Thank you. Understanding is always helpful. I also have chronic pain from an issue that can’t be repaired that impact my muscles and nerves. Some days and nights are better than other. When my pain gets bad enough that I feel like I’m going to lose my mind, I crank up a PTX song and focus on singling out each singer for the whole song. As corney as it is, having distractions like these videos are very helpful.
@@lynn2574 Not corny at all!! It really does help.
It’s like they reach into your soul and pull out soul, then hold it up for you to see for yourself
Thanks for your great reaction! This one hits hard, it's an absolute fav of mine, the harmonies are out of this world, haunting and beautiful.. Mitch and Matt (Match) harmonizing and the shadows in the background, Mitch staring directly into your soul and Kirstie's painful facial expression at the end.. it's a masterpiece!
I remember when it premiered, I burst into tears. I still cry sometimes when I watch it. It's one of my top favs too!!💜
Really truly should react to Sound of Silence and Bohemian Rhapsody. Would love to see your reaction.
As good as PTX's rendition of this song is on its own (and I love it), the impact was even greater in context: this came out in the summer of 2020, IIRC, at the height of the pre-vaccine pandemic and in the midst of the presidential election campaign. It truly felt like a mad world, and this video was a perfect expression of the time
Great reaction. I love their very emotional version of this song. It takes us right back to them sounding so unbelievably haunting and beautiful at the same time. It fit the state of the world when they released it. I fight back tears every time I listen to it.
Me too!
Such an ethereal performance. It just moves you! Well done PTX.
Thoroughly enjoy your reactions! And…..the Patriots 👍🏻😄
It has been a tough time for a lot of us lately. I really hope that things start turning around for you and your family. Believe me, you bring us as much joy and laughter as we bring you. In this crazy world all we can do is stick together and lift each other up. Don't feel bad about venting we all need to do that or we will explode from holding it all in. We are all here because we want to support you and your music journey. Hang in there ;)
That's totally the reaction that I had. It's so incredible.
Thanks for a great reaction as usual!!! I can relate with the house fire. I lost everything in '96 because of a house fire. The fire department couldn't put it out. It sucks only having the clothes on your back. That was the suckiest day of my life. Losing everything you own iis hard.
Glad to have you back. I missed you!!
Sending you love from Texas!
Yay, Mad World! This is such an unearthly, eerie, beautiful and scary song... and such a captivating, profound performance. Love it.
Oh, and, you know, with their ghosts following our guys around in the video, this is right up your alley, anyway.
So, did the audio-only thing work? Did you save the re-upload cycle? Considering that you mention that this is your first PTX video in a month, and you shared the one with the Daft Punk private performance 4 days ago, I fear this was still bouncing around a little...
You need to hear say something Avi gives me goosebumps in this one
You are so right about them! They are so special!
I love this version!❤
With songs like this where Kevin is singing the whole time instead of beatboxing, they have the freedom to create full four part 9th chords behind the soloist (which they do a lot in this song). That and the more homophonic texture of this piece makes it hit different than a pop tune constructed as soloist, two backup singers, bassline, and beatbox. A pure vocal arrangement that isn't trying to imitate instrumental lines is a different listening experience.
They are the best, just admit it! You'll feel better. Love your reactions.
Hey, SauceyDad, nice to have you back, missed you a lot! I'm really sorry for what you're going through at the moment. Glad, SauceyMom's mom is ok. Best wishes from Germany!
They can’t do anything wrong. They are perfection 😅😮😂❤
Love your PTX reactions!!!!
I think you need to do something upbeat and fun. How about their original “Sing”?
Then, their original “Love Again” so we can go back to frying your brain.
Love this!
You are smart, caring, funny, and a bit crazy! We have in common mental health issues. Thank you for sharing your real feelings. Thank you for making me laugh and really showing caring for your subscribers.
I am mostly home bound from mental and physical reasons. .
Thanks for making a disabled former female police officer have a better day .
REALLY enjoy your reactions. Especially since I am one of those who gets shredded every time Mitch opens his mouth. It doesn't matter what register he's in, it's the unique quality if his vocals that cuts right through me. I love, respect and enjoy the hell out of all of them, but Mitch...that damn kid is killing me.
I'm hoping things become easier in your world!
I love, love, love your reactions. They are truly reactions, not just watching it with a blank face. Thank you for appreciating their talent.
Ditto!!!
We all rave about their voices, harmonies, arranging, etc. but one thing that isn’t talked about much is their impeccable, timely song selection. And that’s something newer Pentaholics might not be aware of.
As someone already mentioned this came out during lockdowns when schools were shutdown and kids experienced “remote learning”. The lines in the song about kids, teachers, lessons hit me even harder because of that.
Other examples:
Imagine was released at a time when the country was arguing about gender and bathrooms.
Rise (Superfruit & Friends) was released right after the bombing of a gay bar.
Go back and listen to those songs with that in mind. They’ll hit you right between the eyes!
Mitch's expression when he says looked right through me is everything so I was waiting for ur expression and u didn't disappoint lol
The original is really good too. I love both, Tears for Fears wrote/performed the original in the 80s.
They bring you on a rollercoaster. Up, up, up, then drop you! Again and again. Just when you think they can't get better, bam! They hit you with another one. Love your reaction 💕💕💕
I didn't appreciate this song til them. It's utter depressing and beautiful.
Also, I come here for your facial expressions and witty rhetoric. I needed this... and PTX no less. You're the bestest. You are forgiven if you react more.
One of the best covers of this song ever. LOVED the reaction. Again, welcome back! :)
Definitely top 10 from PTX. Loved the reaction. Can't wait for the next Voiceplay Reaction.
Great reaction. Glad everyone is ok. Looking forward to more reactions to Home Free, PTX, and VoicePlay. As well as the haunted stuff And anything else that strikes your fancy. I hope you get a chance to just breathe soon.
this is one of my favorites. I love the Matt and Mitch harmonies in particular. if you want to hear more Matt, I'd recommend You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch and New Rules x Are You That Somebody. take care and thanks so much for sharing your reactions ❤️
Love your reactions. You should listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, Gold (Rianna) and The Evolution of Michael Jackson. Can't wait to hear your reactions to those! Happy Birthday to your kids and Happy Valentine's Day to you and your wife.
Gold is by Kiarra not Rihanna. Although they do have an evolution of Rihanna that I’m sure he’d love.
@@PtxXtp Oops, it was probably late at night (am) I watch these when I can't sleep, LOL.
I hear you on PTX hitting a different set of receptors. Home Free, PTX and VoicePlay all hit different points in my brain but I kind of like that. Whatever I need on any given day, I can yank the handle on the the dopamine slot machine and get it. There is one VoicePlay song I think might be right up your spooky alley and possibly 180 to give you a laugh at the end -- Once Upon a Dream czcams.com/video/AiOlmtxZ66g/video.html It's short and about 10 years old but it's just amazing.
Thanks! I clicked on that & it was great! Woke me up for sure! Lol! The 2 little girls at the end - SO ADORABLE!!!
@@beverlykrebs4372 🤣 Oh yeah, that song will do that to you! My favorite reactor response to it was Qofy just cracking up, shaking his head and saying “Geoff has no chill”.
@@r.d.stratford106 Oh, I HAVE to see that! Lol! Qofy is a real character! Did you see when he got up & forgot he had on his boxers?!?! Then Dennis & Brad did reaction to the reaction... It was probably a YT first! Lol!!
@@beverlykrebs4372 YES! I almost laughed myself silly. Epic moment!
Thanks for your reaction and discussion. Pentatonix performed a wonderful version. Interestingly they are not doing a cover -- it is a cover of a cover. The original song was written and performed by Tears for Fears in 1982. Their version is fast and poppy with sort of a Caribbean beat. Since I was introduced to the song in the slow and haunting version Pentatonix used here, I didn't like their original the first time I heard it. But after listening again several times, I kind of dig it. _Mad World_ was revamped to be the theme song for the 2001 movie, _Donnie Darko._ They left the brilliant lyrics alone, though. The movie plays with your head with different realities, and normal things seem a little off. Abnormal things seem a LOT off. So the slow, haunting style was a perfect match to the movie. Thus Pentatonix was not covering the Tears for Fears original, but the Gary Jules version (who sung it for the movie).
At some point, you might consider reacting to the Tears for Fears version. Just look up in CZcams:
Tears for Fears Mad World
to watch the official version. (Sometimes when I post links, CZcams decides the comment belongs in the channel's spam bin.)
The AVI-lanche just put out new material today. You definitely have to check his solo music. He's just perfect. Honest to god perfect.
Also please react to ptx doing "can't hold us" by Ryan Lewis and Macklemore!!!! My biggest request to all newbies 😉 To see a different side of their talent. Very glad you're back. Really missed your reactions!❤️
You should watch their original called "sing". It's one of my favorite ones and it has fan videos including some big name fans.
We Got Your Back !!!!!!!!
Love your reactions, and so glad you're back.
I am crying watching your reaction. You are an amazing person. As someone who studied music education, I could tell you why you have a visceral reaction to this (that feeling in your chest) but just keep listening to the lyrics. It seems there’s a connection there. I know there is for me.
Saucey!!! Where's Jeff? 😕😯⁉️🎁 LOL! Awesome reaction ‼️ Love ya Saucey‼️
Just for a change of pace. Some of their upbeat songs you should check out. Come Along, Happy Now, Can't Sleep Love, Problem, Can't Hold Us and New Rules x Are You That Somebody. A few are originals. Also their Pop Spring 2016 performance (live).
So awesome,Thanks Nick x
I adore your reactions and have missed you tremendously. Another idea for the video? Opaque, with your logo over it. That way we can see the shadow. Other reactors do that. Or type "Copyright YT" over the video.
The judges on The Sing Off kept commenting on the surprises they keep dishing out. You nailed it.
One of my favorite songs of theirs. Still need more people to upvote for VoicePlay - Hoist the Colors.:)
Y9u say it's not funny...but dude your faces are funny. Had me laughing 🤣🤣. Imo this is the best song since Avi left the group.
Truly s masterpiece imho
Oh my word! Your face as they grow the sound and you hit their wall of sound. Priceless 😃
Like +++++++++++. Awesome. Great to see your numbers up. Keep it up.
My opinion….if I want to see the video….I’d watch the original. I’m here for your reaction. No explanation needed.
WOW! I hope everything will be okay for your family. That's rough!
Phenomenal vocal performance. Another amazing cover is by Jadyn Rylee, the instrumentation is perfect and her vocals are great, not this level, but still great. Sorry about everything you have been going through, it really is a mad world.
I have all of Jadyn's songs on a playlist & I love her! That girl is gonna be a star!! Her cover of Dream On is my favorite!!!
I think you would enjoy their cover of Over The River. It is epic!
This song wrecked me when it was Tears for Fears, but with this arrangement I'm just on the floor in sorrow and amazement!
I'm a Southern from the Mountains of NC.
We do say that. Lol
so glad your mom-in-law's house was okay! hugs to you and your family :)
Go Pats!
Eerie, haunting, just such powerful harmonies hit different for sure.
this song haunts my dreams
Speaking of Avi... he just dropped his new video about an hour and a half ago. All Is Well ft. Joy Williams. Not to be missed. You can find it at Avi Kaplan official.
I saw that on his community page. I’m excited to hear it as well.
This is Awesomesaucy!!! Just finished watching the video. I'm so sorry about your wife's mom's house. I hope no one, including the animals, were hurt. Pls tell her she & her family are in my prayers.
You have no idea how much joy I got from watching you watch this! Yes, I'm a Pentafry for sure! So glad you do both. Voiceplay is right up there wth them. But anyway, it's fine if you don't put up the videos. Seen them a gazillion times. I do want to see you react to their new stuff because it will all blow your mind!!! The one song that comes to mind is the MV of Over the River from their new Christmas album, Evergreen. I saw it performed live on the Evergreen tour - VIP pass, 2nd row on the isle... It was one of the best nights of my life, and at age 62, that's really saying something!!! I'm gonna have to go to your channel & see what else I may have missed. Haven't gotten a notification from you for about a month!! See you on the next one!!! XO💜
Have you seen Say Something, cover by PTX? It's amazing!
LOL It's kinda funny for us . Sorry Nick but you make me chuckle a Lot !
Still would love u to check out their live performance of carol of the Bells. It won the vote in the comments of ur video of them on Ellen. I promise it's worth ur time 💖
I found the original song very haunting. And they just DESTROYED it. It gives me shivers every time I hear it.
This had alot off us go crazy with the Matt and Mitch duo doesn't happen often for sure new to your Channel and going through your ptx videos thank you for making my day on most off them 🙂
You have a knack for unspoken hilarity. Yes, they are in a league of their own.
Great reaction!
I am so sorry you are having to go through so much at once. 😃hang in there.
I am sending prayers and good vibes your way. Life always has its ups and downs. The downs make us appreciate the ups more! Hang in there !
For me, it's TOTALLY okay that we can't see the video! We're here to see YOUR reaction to this! Most of us are pretty familiar! 😊This was great!
Agree with your decision - we have probably all seen the video made than once. Do what works for you - We can still enjoy your reaction ❤️
Most Pentaholics have already seen the videos multiple times, so not showing the video is not a problem! 🤗💖
so very glad you are back to ptx!!!
Dude 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Usually PTX is so fun and boppy. This is such a sad song. It grabs you.
Yeah! Welcome back to Pentatonix!
I have noticed that the Pentaholics and Home Fries are generally pretty kind people. I'm glad some of them could help you out a bit! Hope there wasn't too much damaged at your mother in laws.
"Life's a Mitch, then you die." My new favorite saying!
LOVE LOVE their cover of this song
I really enjoy your reactions
I find you can feel the pain in each of them during this song
I'm so sorry that you have been having such a rough time lately. May you and your family see new blessings coming up and an end to these miseries.
I’m so glad her house survived! Wow!
Stark, lush, haunting, luminous.
Yeah, you sure did get body slammed by Scott and the rest. Thanks for the reaction. Please react to Over The River and their Masterpiece "THE PRAYER."
Omgosh sweetie I’m so sorry about your mother in law’s home! The devil is working overtime to overcome you! God was watching over her & your sweet family! I would LOVE to see you do a reaction with your wife & kiddos! 🥰I love watching family reactions lol Praying for you all for better days💞
My brother and i are the same age for 5 days, then i go a year older. Love your reactions :)
I just found this. Didn't get a notification this time. ??? Anyway, missing the Olympics to watch this! You should feel very special! 😉
Your voice seems to be a lot quieter than the music today? Is that just me? Loved the reaction, thank you again. I think you'll like the new Voiceplay video they just dropped - Dragonborn. Hope your mother-in-law is okay and that the smoke didn't do too much damage x
I saw VPs Dragonborn today - just amazing!!!
booboolu so glad ur back to PTX and just to let u know they have a song for every day of the year so a very long long trip with them. Stay strong
