If you like this one, you’ll like Light in the Hallway. There is a live performance recorded on a cell phone, no official video. It was written by Scott for his nephew, it’s a lullaby, and he wrote it for Avi to sing. It is beautiful, I tear up every time I hear it.
There is an official recording, but not an official music video.
Avi and Kevin wrote this together and it’s 5 part harmonies
Checkout their song Happy Now! It’s one of their newer originals and it’s such pure pop perfection. I can’t believe they only get radio play during the holidays because they deserve it with their originals!
I second this
Agree on all points! Happy Now is wonderful!
Thanks for the reaction.
Avi and Kevin wrote this. Avi is the most involved in songwriting of the group and since he left almost everything he performs are his original songs. In college with a double major of choral director and opera when Pentatonix was formed for the 2011 SingOff Acapella competition.
Hair and beard length on Avi is a good way to tell what year it is for the first 6 years. If you ever react to Avi's solo work you will see what he looks like now. "Change On the Rise" is very cinematic and his most popular or When I'm a Fool Live at Sunset Sound Studios was just recorded in June.
My daughter's high school Chamber Choir downloaded the sheet music from the PTX page and sang this! It was awesome. ❤
I was so excited to see you react to this one. Avi and Kevin wrote it, and it's probably my favorite song from Pentatonix. It's just so beautiful.
I've also heard that they had to learn to mouth the lyrics backward during the chorus, so when the snow was falling up, it looked like they were singing the right lyrics.
That's true. In order to make it look like the snow was falling up, the chorus had to be filmed and reversed, so they all ( I think...certainly Mitch and Kirstie did) had to lipsynch "run to you" backwards. Apparently not easy.
Gorgeous, hauntingly beautiful song.
Written by PTX and Ben Bram
@@madenabyss6981 No, there are several interviews and such where they clearly say Avi and Kevin wrote this song.
@2:10. Why do you say it's so hard for all four of them to sing together... Kevin sang with them through the whole thing--it was five of them swinging. 😉
They usually record separately, but for this one they were all in the studio singing together.
Here are some others you MUST watch: “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” and “Love Again” for sure. I also recommend Avi’s “Change in the Rise”.
“Change ON the Rise”. Not “IN the Rise”…
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 my apologies on the auto correct. Thanks 👍🏻
My favorite song from them. So chilling. The dissonance is haunting.
Please do the reaction to the recording of Evergreen. It's wonderful and really shows their creative process. There is a scene where they get chills hearing THEIR own voices. It's way cool.
Evergreen is also the album that they are nominated for a Grammy.
The whole album is magical. Before the first song there is the sound of a match lighting a candle. After the last song, you hear them blow it out.
I thought that it was super clever and the perfect way to tie it all together. Like a bow on the most beautiful Christmas packed ever.
I hope that you can get it posted on CZcams. I believe that it is a Pentatonix owned short film. And that SME doesn't have rights to it. But, I don't know for sure.
Either way, you will absolutely LOVE it.
Thank you for your time and appreciation for this magical group.
Hope and joy to all.
Pst, pass it on. =^;^=
Another cover, but I’d very much like to hear what you think of their cover of Kiara’s “Gold”. Just them chillin’ with mikes.
There are several old interviews where Avi and Kevin talk about writing this then bringing it to the group to be put in its final form. I can't remember exactly what parts each wrote but when you look at the credits Avi is listed first The lyrics remind me a lot of what Avi writes as a solo artist so Im inclined to believe most of the lyrics are his. All of the songs Pentatonix does are credited to the whole group but this is because they all have input into their parts of the final song.
It IS a PTX original...Avi & Kevin wrote this song.😊
I highly recommend checking our Avi Change on the Rise which he also wrote and is one if his solo songs after he left PTX...he's phenomenal!!😃
If you enjoy this you'll love "My Heart With You " it's superb. There's great live versions" too, but the official video was filmed live. Light in the Hallway" is also great.
So many amazing originals: Happy Now, Sing, Coffee in Bed, Be My Eyes, See Through, Never Gonna Cry Again, Anchor, Petals, Can’t Sleep Love (Popspring 2016 version), Water, New Year’s Day, Ref, Side…..and the list goes on and on
This for most part is a 5 harmonies, not beatboxing, and the climax is Avi, Mitch and Scott, and in the background Kirstin and Kevin.
I just seen Avi in concert! Awesome! Thanks ❤
This is my favorite song they do. So good Just close my eyes and listen. I actually think Avi and Kevin wrote this one.
Written by PTX and Ben Bram
@@madenabyss6981 if you are familiar with old interviews you will find some where Avi and Kevin talk about how they wrote this and brought it to the group. The group always accredit their work to the whole group but if you look at how each songwriter is listed they are listed in order of their contribution. Avi is listed first on this song.
Alma Petry is correct. If you want more incredible music and lyrics check out Avi's solo projects. He has really been able to show how deeply talented he is now that he is on his own.
Amazing song and vocals!❤
Fun fact. The group had to learn to lip sync backwards to record the snow falling up. They recorded the snow falling and singing backwards and then played it backwards to get the up falling snow.
Everyone in the group can write music, if I remember correctly this is mostly Avi and Kevin. And if you listen to Avi’s solo music (I hope you will!) you’ll recognize his style in a lot of the PTX music.
I second Avi's solo music!
Avi's solo music slaps but you are insinuating he developed or wrote the music and directed all compositions. So then: "HIs style"? Like the rest of PTX just sat there and played a part, then provided their voice, and said ok that's enough. PTX has developed their style of composition in unison with Ben. (I forget his name) Avi's music slaps because he employs the style he learned while working in unison with "Ben" and all members of PTX.
The second that I saw that you reacted to this I came running because this is still one of my all time favorites of theirs. It’s been absolutely wild for me seeing their growth as someone that witnessed them on The Sing Off to where they are now in their career, and when they released this one I couldn’t stop listening to it for a WHILE. It’s so gorgeous and it still gives me chills all these years later :’) thanks for another amazing reaction John and I can’t wait for more! Much love and happy holidays! 💜
Every live concert they do a song where they put down mics, ask the audience for quiet, and sing "old school" - this is one of the ones they do that way. There are videos and its extraordinary how they get their voices to carry, even when singing softly.
I just rewatched a video that you might really enjoy since it's very different than their "normal" ones. Made w/ Todrick Hall, watch The Wizard of Ahhhs. The production is clever and outstanding, the mash up of songs is creative and you get The Wizard of Oz in 7-8 minutes of creativity and gorgeous singing. It'll make you smile for sure!!
LOVE this song. Wait till you see their cover of John Lennons Imagine and you hear the "wall of sound"
This is one of my absolute favs ❤️ 💜💙💛🧡 Kevin and Avi wrote this song.
YES!!! A reaction to “The Making of Evergreen” would’ve awesome!! I think you’ll enjoy watching the process.
3 of my fav originals you should definitely check out are: That's Christmas To Me, Coffee in Bed and Happy Now!
Agree. I’d add Sing, Cracked and Can’t sleep love
@@bfly5990 , the PopSring 2016 concert would be good...Cracked, Water, Can't Sleep Love and Evolution of MJ all in one neat package.
Also Anchor and Be My Eyes!
and I believe Love Again would be right in his wheelhouse, he will LOVE Kevin and Avi in that one
Hauntingly GORGEOUS ❤️🙌🙌
This is my fave of theirs that is an original. They were inspired to write this after they heard "My Heart with You". Check out that cover of theirs. They just released it last year after having known it for 10 years. In that song they have a lot of beautiful what I call "cascades" of sounds. This song is on the Evergreen album. Merry Christmas.
Absolutely beautiful! I think that it would be really cool if you, your wife and daughter all sat together and reacted to Wizard of Ahhs. If ya'll have seen the Wizard of Oz you will appreciate this musical directed/ produced by Toderick Hall, collaborated with PTX. It is very enjoyable. A must see on a theatrical level and the talent PTX has.
Love your reaction as always 👍 their originals are so awesome, you should check Sing and Can't sleep love, lovely but totally other vibes 😍 Avi and Kevin wrote it, they're genius. Please do you a gift and listen some Avi's solo work ... I don't have words, it will be too long ... Just wonderful ! Singer/song writer/musician ... He's harmonising himself in his songs. And his lives at Sunset Sound with Shooter Jennings are tremendous, especially When I'm a fool. You should check this 😉 Such an expérience ❤️ thanks 😘
My Heart With You is similar, and I think even more beautiful.
It’s borderline offensive how fascinatingly talented Avi and Kevin are.
The lyrics and tune absolutely point to an Avi original.
Yep. I know they credited all five members as having written this song, but it has Avi's fingerprints all over it.
For me the lead in this song is Avi!
Same
Really looking forward to concert vlog and also 'Recording of Evergreeen.'
Mitch is a chameleon and does change his appearance but here I think it''s just his age. This was recorded in 2012/2013 so he was only 20 or 21 and in his heavier days.
Me too. He is gonna love making Evergreen
My ALL TIME FAVE PTX SONG!!! Thank you!!!
Avi has some great solo music out there The otherside, I’m only getting started, change on the rise to name a few. You will not be disappointed
You might want to listen to a cover of this by Sam Robson. He's out of the UK, and can only be described as 1 man who embodies an acapella group of 30 people and untold number of instruments with his voice at one time. He has an insane range from high tenor to bass. His "Circle of Life" is a must hear. Enjoy.
Their cover of Mad World is a standout, too.
This is 5 part harmony as Kevin is doing the tenor part with Mitch. He splits off & does counter melody with Kirsten. There’s no beat boxing/percussion in this.
I'm extremely excited for you to watch The Recording of Evergreen. 😊😊😊😊
John, Please listen and enjoy Kevin's solo Saxaphone video performance at Carnegie Hall. I think it was from 2005...when he was a teenager.
He's a beautifully blessed package! I'm so grateful to receive all of the Pentatonix gifts they share!
Great reaction my guy. The one thing I say over and over and over is how TIGHT this group is. They breathe, transition, crescendo, etc. as one single unit. Also, they put in the work. This isn't a pop diva that rehearses a few hours a week does a show shakes their bon bon and gets paid. No you have 5 incredible musicians dedicated to the bone for their craft and it shows. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Mitch was very young when they started and since then he has had cancer. This could explain alot of his appearance change, plus he is a fashion God!
This one of my favorites of their originals. They sang it live when I saw them in concert and it was incredible. The entire stadium was absolutely silent while they stood around a single mike and sang. I recorded it on my phone and still listen to it often. Love love love
Personally I feel that their original songs don't get nearly enough love. All of their originals are amazing. For a different vibe check out Sing. It's super up beat and fun. Also their Pop Spring 2016 performance has 3 awesome originals and the Evolution of Michael Jackson. It's a bit long but totally worth it.
I love this song, it gives me chills everytime. If you want more originals, check out the Popspring 2016 mini-concert they did; it has 3 awesome originals (Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, & Water - all quite different t from eachother) and their evolution of Michael Jackson.
Also, if you liked Run To You, then you will likely also love "Light In The Hallway", Scott wrote it as a lullaby for his baby nephew and asked Avi to sing lead on it. In the concerts they used to perform it at the end with just one mic in between them. If you look it up, I definitely recommend a live version (idk if they ever did a music vid for the studio version). "Sing", another original, is almost the opposite: it's up beat and catchy. Anchor doesn't have a music vid that I'm aware of, but it's a stunning original, with a Mitch lead. There are just so many awesome songs they've done, I want to recommend so many to you, but at what point do we just say "all of them, listen to them all" lol.
Idk if anyone mentioned this, but the chorus, where the ash is going upwards, that was the video being runnin reverse, they all learned to lip synch that part backwards in order to make it work.
Also, at one point they made the sheet music available on their site for free, but idk if it still is (i tried to look but couldn't see it on there). Though obviously, there are sites selling it online too.
Merry Christmas to you, John, hope you have a great one. 💜
i love their original music, many don't have videos, such as 'anchor' 'petals', 'on my way home'. they also have some mash ups where they take two or three songs and sing little bits of each over and over until it sounds like a whole new song. 'la la latch' is a good example of that.
So is New Rules/I Am Nobody. And then there's the Evolution of...series.
😂 "Are You That Somebody"
💜💜💜
This song is so good..one of my favorites
❤️❤️
I read somewhere that this video was recorded backwards, to make the snow go up, that’s way when the do the closeups when they say “run” it doesn’t look like they’re saying run
Like Kevin- When you see Kirsty singing, Kevin is harmonizing directly with her.
Love your PTX reactions!
I believe you would really love their performance of My Heart with You. They may have done it in the concert you went to but would enjoy seeing you react to that. Also Light in the Hallway. Scott and his partner wrote it as a lullaby for Scott’s sister’s baby. Stunning. Abe as lead on the last one by the way.
I'm interested to see your Xmas concert reaction. I went to thier Denver performance this year. It was nice.
Another couple of amazing originals are The Party's Over and Be My Eyes. Glad you chose Run To You. Epic.
you have got to see this...PTX A Christmas extravaganza 2022-The Kevin Show? Kevin's Fifth
When they perform this live they gather around a single microphone.
😮
Yep, always so stunning
Their originals are amazing!! Popspring 2016 has 3 originals and the evolution of MJ, and it's live, but with great sound. Highly recommend. Also happy now and coffee in bed. Great reaction, love to see you update.
This is, hands down, my favorite PTX song, and I'm so, so happy you found it! (FYI, you may have already learned this, but it was written by Kevin and Avi, if I recall correctly.)
Mitch is a Chamaeleon!! If you have followed them since the Sing Off 11 years ago - he is almost unrecognizable from the baby Mitch at 18 years old!! But that voice - though it has matured - it has been amazing from day one!!! ❤🙌🏻
That was beautiful. How have I not seen this?! Also, makes me miss choir so much.
Oh I couldn't click this one fast enough! My fav song! AND...they sing the chorus backward so the snow goes upward. They commented that it was so hard practicing singing words in reverse so that they didn't look silly
I love this song! The harmonies are so incredible.
I straight up just screamed out loud, SO excited!! Recommend: Anchor, Happy Now, and the Recording of Evergreen!! The last one is long but is EXACTLY up your alley for creative process. Also if no one else mentioned, when the snow goes up, they're lip syncing in reverse so it can be played backwards! They also made sure to release the sheet music, as mentioned in one of their other end-caps at the end of a vid.
*SCREAMS* please react to the recording of Evergreen! If you haven't listened to The Prayer yet you should do it first because they react to that and it means more when you already know how good it is!!
You can find live versions of this they do it without mics at a lot of shows.
This is my favorite of their originals - hands down. And, given all their other amazing originals, that's saying a lot!
My favorite original of theirs is Sing! But this is right up there.
This original was done because they couldn't get the rights to My Heart With You, so made this in it's stead. They did "My Heart With You" last year. The Evergreen experience is so incredible to watch. Nice reaction!
Another fun one is the AMA with Pentatonix (Star Wars)
This is by far my favorite PTX song. Peter Hollens does an amazing cover of this as well.
you are watching their vids from a span of about 10 years and out of order so just for that reason alone his appearance will change but yes, he does change it up a lot
This was written be Avi and Kevin
I love this song, that line I would break down the gates of Heaven gives me chills. Who wouldn't fight angels to get a loved one back.
It's been years now, and the bridge still wrecks me.
Great reaction. I'm recovering from covid at home alone, so I appointment your videos ☺️💖🦋
Still gives me chills
John, if you enjoyed this purely acapella (no rhythm) ballad, I highly recommend you check out their version of Silent Night filmed in a cathedral using the natural acoustics of the building. It's pretty incredible.
I think you would enjoy Avis solo music. I’m only getting started is one of my current favorites but they are all amazing.
You should check out their version of Radioactive, it's a collaboration with violinist Lindsey Stirling. Their cover of Lennon's Imagine is also one of my favorites. Really, you can pick anything they do and it will be amazing. They're just that damn good.
Please, it's time for solo Avi. He's a prolific song writer with incredible lyrics and a magical voice. Avi (and Kevin) wrote this song. Subscribed for PTX and Avi. Coming along for the ride.
When you have time, watch season 4 of sing off. It will tell you all about them, and how Kevin and Avi really rounded out the songs. It will also show you their ability to mesh songs.
PTX was in season 3 of The Sing Off in 2011-2012. Mitch skipped graduation ceremonies to audition in 2011. The Trio was 18.
How could I forget one of my favorite originals, Love Again, and one of their newest songs from their Christmas album called Invincible?? 🔥🔥
Since you’re liking acapella you should check out Home free, voctave , and voiceplay. All amazing groups!!!
Thank you because somehow this gem has passed me by and I think it’s possibly the best thing I have heard from them x
Yes Avi & Kevin wrote this
Kirsten up front in 'My Eyes.' Fun video.
Did you realize that all five of them are singing in this? Their song TAKE MY HEART WITH YOU iscut from the same cloth. GORGEOUS!
Not sure if you noticed but the flakes are going up and they learned to sing the the words/song backwards in reverse so it would match 😳❤️
Thanks for reacting to this. I've requested this song from other reactors but no one has done it, so I'm happy you found it.
This is a "true original"!
Beautiful Song! Great reaction! Thanks ❤Much Love! #Hangovergang #Pentatonix
Beautiful reaction, thank you. Can't wait to see your concert experience! You definitely should react to the Making of Evergreen, too! Shouldn't have any trouble posting it on CZcams...can't wait to see that either!
Looking forward to the recording of Evergreen. The attention to detail is mind blowing.
Merry Christmas!
For the video they learnt to lip synch backwards, so that when played forward, it looked like the snow was going upward. .. I always think of this song as singing about a soldier leaving for war, eventually when he comes back, old and crippled, running after her, she's married to someone else.
Such a beautifully heartbreaking song❤
awww.... we sang this with my choirmates! love love love this!
Great job, John...
You can post making Evergreen. It’s great
The story is that this song was inspired by another song, My Heart With You. Several years after they recorded this song, they finally recorded My Heart With You for their Evergreen album (currently nominated for their 4th Grammy award). The video for My Heart With You on CZcams was recorded live for their Christmas Under the Stars concert for BYUtv, and it is absolutely in my top 5 PTX songs of all time - another song with no beatboxing, just 3 and 5 part harmony throughout. Highly recommended!
