This song just breaks my heart (but in a good way). "How shall I win back your heart, which was mine? I have broken bones and tattered clothes. I've run out of time." The imagery of that line alone.....man... 😭
This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Also, this video is simple but amazing. When the petals are falling upwards and you see them singing, they actually learned how to sing those words backwards, so when they ‘rewound’ that footage to make the petals go up instead of down it looks like they are singing the words. Obviously if they just sang it normally, it would look strange when they played the song on top of the video on those bits. So they learned to ‘sing it backwards’ so it looked how it should. That’s skills right there! Can’t wait for their new album. I love introducing people to pentatonix. I love watching their reaction to just how amazing they are ☺️☺️☺️
You ain't "weird" my friend. Evoking strong emotions is what a great song and great performance is supposed to do. Emotion is what separates "good" from "great" This makes me feel like, after a long, dark, hard, cold journey, you're entering a warm, well lit house filled with loved ones, good food and drink...all the things that so make that journey worth it.
This song is just a precious masterpiece of art. Period. And as this it causes feelings. Same type of level is "Mary did you know". That is definitely a religious song. 😉
This is a song of pure desperation.. How do I win back your heart which was mine? I'll break down the gates of heaven. Break my shackles and set me free.. I'll Run To You. You can feel the pain in the dissonant chords they create, it has always amazed me how intricate their voicings are to create that feeling with just 5, sometimes 4 voices!! Always waiting for your next reactions, my dude. Keep it up!
I agree with everything you said. And for me, having Kevin sing with them without the beat boxing, adds a richness to their sound that fills my ears and soothes my soul. His beats are sick but his voice adds more butter to that PTX bread I just love to eat! This is a beautifully written song and I couldn't be happier with your reaction. Thank you.
The blanket feeling ..i get it mostly when the bass goes from really low to a higher register and then drops back low. Happens in Imagine also and it gives me shivers every time.
This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I saw them perform this in concert a few years ago, when Avi was still with the group, and when they started singing this you could have heard a pin drop in the audience of thousands. At the end the silence lasted a few more seconds and it felt like the entire arena took a breath at the same time, then started cheering. It was one of the most surreal beautiful things I've ever experienced.
They did this live on NPR with wonderful sound quality. And someone recorded them singing this live in Germany in a church/cathedral. The resonance in the church is just lovely. Both worth a listen if you have free time. Edit : here is the live NPR version. czcams.com/video/gVNamBJUdfU/video.html
The first five times I listened to this I would cry...and I didn't exactly know why. It just really moved me. It's beautifully written and sung, of course, but there's something more here.
Theres some science behind this believe it or not. Deep rich voices like Avis or say Morgan Freeman, actually cause visceral reactions in people. The way Avis melodious deep voice underpins everyone elses, especially in opposition to Mitchs clear high tenor is one reason their songs often make us cry or shiver. Probably too much info. But it fascinates me
The are a phenomenal group, and have many fabulous songs, but this has to be one the very best for showcasing how truly talented they are. It's one of their original songs, and it's stripped back and raw in a way the more polished covers just can quite achieve. Gives me chills every time the hit the part about breaking down the gates of heaven.
Great reaction to a beautiful song. It's my belief that their early songs had such power and depth because of the influence of Avi. He wrote this and with Kevin, arranged it (although they all have input in their arrangements). It is one of the few songs that Kevin does not beatbox in, and the 5 part harmony is so strong. It flows from perfect harmony to crushing dissonance in waves. That very last chord, when they are humming, always gets me - it ends on a question. By the way - to sing while the flakes are rising, they learned to mouth the words of the chorus backwards (there are only 4 words, so it wasn't too hard). Then they played them singing over the video.
PTX is a gift. I didn’t pay attention for years only diving in earlier this year (pre-pandemic) but now I think that was by design. I’ve needed Pentatonix & reactions to their music this year. I needed reassurance that beauty, love & peace still exists. That art is alive & well even if you have to search a bit. I get your analogy. They are a warm weighted blanket that we didn’t realize how much tension & exhaustion we were carrying around this year. Hell, for 4 years. There’s nothing like cranking their music thru good headphones, without interruptions and then finding a friend to watch it with you. Some CZcams reactors are friends we turn to to watch their face as they experience incredible music. Will you react the way I did? Will you hear those hidden gems I could hear? Like all Pentaholics I watch lots of reaction videos. You are one that I turn to, like listening to music with a friend. Like the last 4 years today was tough & exhausting. I usually don’t comment like this. But I needed some hot chocolate and a warm blanket to share great music with a friend. I don’t care to hear from others who choose to won’t get it. Keep it to yourself. I’m busy hanging with DramaSyd ☮️💟
Okay, I'm loving your descriptive skills in your videos! I know exactly what you mean as well... if music could wrap its arms around you and give you a big, strong hug, that's what this song does to the soul. And it was largely written by Kevin and Avi too. They have some incredible original songs - you'd probably enjoy 'Standing By,' 'On My Way Home' and 'Natural Disaster' too.
Your interpretation of this song is wonderful, and I can visualize what your comments describe easily. I love the way Avi’s voice stands out from the others slightly. I’ve always felt that his voice has that protective, warm blanket quality to it. At one time the sheet music for this was available on their website. It may still be there if you’re interested in getting it. Thank you for reacting to this.
What ever your situation in life is? This song is about devotion to a THING, whatever that may be for you personally. That understanding is needed again, oh God(s) that is needed so badly again!
This is such a warm, emotional piece with impossibly dense harmonies that breaks my heart every time I hear it. It’s always an added treat to hear Kevin sing. Thanks!
Music evokes emotion. And people may assign different memories to it. How can I live without you can be love song for one, and a break up song for another. PTX strives to let each individual determine their own meaning. Hallelujah is another Prime example. That's why honest reactions are the best. I want to know how the music effects YOU personally.
I miss Pentatonix original music. Aside from one Christmas song, they haven't really put out any original music since Avi Left. Their first original album was #1 on the charts in 2015, and before Avi announced he was leaving they said they were working on the 2nd original album, but we haven't heard a peep about more in years. It seems they not only lost their bass, but their main writing, considering Avi is already putting out his second original album since he left.
This song is what emotions made into music in it's purest of forms sounds like. It gets me every single time. It digs into my soul, burrows into you and just makes you feel safe and free.
One of My favorite songs. Being an original you can only be in awe of the writing ability of these gifted artists. Then when they sing, it takes your soul to another place. They are so talented. There are so many talented artists but Pentatonix has a gift to make you feel every song one way or another.
I listened this so many times and just crystslized in me how this songs feels like (to me): it's like after mourning. I mean when you cried soo much (over any loss) you have no tears any more and a sense (or sensless) of acceptance/peace falls on you, your breathing normalizes and all.. Duh I dunno. Gets me every time.
This song is an original, written to take advantage of their particular harmony blend. Any other group of voices just doesn't create the same vibration. I'm glad to see someone else enjoy it so much.
In case you didn't notice, during the chorus the snowflakes fall UP. PTX learned to mime the words backwards for that scene. Just another small thing that made a big impact on me at the time (not sure why, maybe I appreciated their dedication to their craft at a time I was raw)
such superb harmonies....Avi & Kevin wrote this......my take on this is the love Jesus for us all....we need to run to him....especially in these times....
I absolutely loved your reaction. There isn't a single thing wrong with feeling the comfot, hope and joy from their magic. 1st time viewer instant subscriber and like. Thank you for your genuine reaction. Means alot.
Thank you so much for this reaction!! Actually, at their concerts, they take a break towards the end, circle around one mike, while the stadium goes quiet, and they sing this all quiet, almost reverent. It’s my #1 fave song they do. I believe it’s an original. If you’re curious, I made a video of them at the concert when they came to my city. I was about 2 rows back. I only have 2 videos uploaded, so it shouldn’t be hard to find :) They put on an AMAZING SHOW. I’d see them live, if you can; it’s def worth it!!
What a brilliant vocal melange! Dissonance and resolution at every turn and hardly two phrases arranged the same. A real tour de force, and I agree with your analogies as ciphers for the emotional context. Great analysis! Thank you!
I think my fav part of Run To You is when, in the bridge, Avi initially sings a bit higher then his usual tone then drops down to a gorgeous lower tone and then gradually raises it again. I honestly believe this is why the bridge is so powerful and hits you so hard.
I know it's been a minute, but I loved this reaction. I find this song and performance so beautiful I want to cry and laugh at the same time. I think it is poignant. That's my word for its beauty. Thank you. Hope you are fine! Take care.
I heard this song for the first time just after I lost my Daddy to kidney disease last year (he died less than 2 years after my mother) and it expresses everything I felt and couldn't express myself because of my intense grief. It is my whole emotions brought into words and sound and I will be forever grateful to PTX for allowing me this release of pain and sorrow at a time when I couldn't do it myself 💔
This one has no beat boxing in it, so beautiful even without it. My favorite Pandemic Pastime is watching Pentatonix reactions, it brings happiness in the middle of all this sadness.
Great, great reaction! To a truly great song. Out of this world. I liked your thoughts about the warm blankets and the love that comes through in this song. Thanks for sharing!
This song/video holds a very special place in my heart- now more than ever. The lyrics are so raw and the vocals surpass what I thought possible. 💞The love in this is nearly tangible. Your reaction is just as amazing as the song. Thank you! 🙏🏼
This isn't just a warm blanket. It's a down quilt and a fireplace. Can't wait for you to react to their Christmas music and an old but good video of their live performance of Aha at the star vista
What amazes me about this song is that for such beautiful harmonies, you can clearly make out each individual's voice, every step of the way! Incredible!!
Not long ago I saw a video with them talking about this album at intro. Avi said that this is a song of longing, a longing that true love was lost, or may never be found.
Hi, there is a video from the current tour. It's heartbreaking. There were Baptist haters chanting hate patrols especially against Mitch and Scott. It was an open air, so you could hear it clearly. And the group sang run to you. It is so heart to see, how Scott suffered even physically.
One of my proudest Pentaholic moments was when they took the stage despite the protestors. It's at the end of one of their tour videos when they're just getting ready to start the concert. They knew the protestors were there yet the vowed to entertain those who were there to hear them. I was in tears knowing what was coming. The video of them singing Run to You is definitely a tear jerker.
This is one of a handful of Pentatonix performances which have no beatboxing or vocal instrumentation, just five vocals, intricately woven together, and they are among the most amazing of all of their performances. "Can't Help Falling in Love" (which has an official video) and "Over the Rainbow" (which does not have an official video) are two others, and they contain some of the most gorgeous chords of any Pentatonix productions. (The version of "Over the Rainbow" to which I am referring is the one off of their 2017 EP, not the far earlier, and far inferior, version with them sitting on a staircase.)
The way they layer these vocals is stunning. Those chords--whew, especially during the bridge. Man, what you said about standing in the gap hit the spot. One of my top three Pentatonix songs.
Thank you so much for your reaction. I never looked at the song the way you were talking about it in the beginning about the warmth blanket and coming into the warmth, but it makes perfect sense. I absolutely love this song. When I hear it I physically and mentally relax and just let the emotion of the song take me on a ride. Thanks again. BTW, they just released a new video today "God only Knows" off their new album.
Check out BabyMetal, Road of Resistance, Live in Japan. Their previous album, Metal Resistance, was the first Japanese act to make it on the Billboard charts in over 50 years. Their new album, Metal Galaxy, just debuted at #13 this week, and #1 on the Billboard Rock Album charts, first Asian act EVER to do that.
Not real sure how I missed your reaction to this one. This is my favorite PTX song, it is so haunting but beautiful at the same time. Thank you for doing this one, DramaSydE!
I feel like this song is a love song. I don't know if it's about human love lost and the determination to bare all and leave your heart to their mercy, or if it's a love song to God.. with the above-mentioned intent? I feel like I'm battered, have been willful and foolish, and suffered for those decisions. Yet, I'm willing to fight any battle I must to get to Him and throw myself on His mercy. Either way, it's an original. It's so moving and it's a love song. 💖
DS, it's me again. If you want me to shut up I will but I just want to say that you are not weird man or maybe you are because your words get to me and I feel much as you do about their music. I just loved the bit about a nice warm blanket around the shoulders. So true. By the way, I have always been told that I'm weird different, odd etc. But a kind friend said no, you are unique and I realised that I am. And so are you. You are deep, sensitive and you have a sense of humour. I think you are great...keep it up and don't change! By the way, I believe Avi and Kevin wrote this song which makes it even extra special.
I probably commented on this when you first reacted to it. But i love your reaction and your take on the lyrics and how it made you feel. I wanted to have this song in my wedding because of how well the love is explained, but it was a little too somber for the theme i was going for! It is a beautiful love song. The chords are so magnificent and creative. I love it.
Several years ago at a PTX show, Avi blew out the sound system (lol.) With no mics, they succeeded in shutting up the crowd enough to sing this song in a hall sans sound system. Fast forward to June of '19, and here's the recording of PTX in a pin-drop-quiet Madison Square Garden - singing Run to You. it's so quiet you can hear a fan weeping. czcams.com/video/zonJMLt88EQ/video.html
Just subscribed!! Love your analysis of the music. As a singer/musician myself, I love with reactors take time to appreciate the intricacies of music. God bless. ALSO, PLEASE react to their new Christmas songs, joyful joyful, and do you hear what I hear by ptx! You’ll love them! Please also react to Jessie J singing on Singer 2018! All her performances! Bad woman vocally! And tori Kelly as well! Clark Beckham, madison Ryan, Shoshana Bean...make it rain at the ace hotel. That performance by her is amazing.
This is the original Pentatonix before they were big, the girl (I think her name is Kirstie or Kirstin, I just am not sure) has black hair, like drummer boy 2011/2012
Kevin and Avi ..what a team..wrote most of this. And the vocals!
This song just breaks my heart (but in a good way). "How shall I win back your heart, which was mine? I have broken bones and tattered clothes. I've run out of time." The imagery of that line alone.....man... 😭
Jennifer Ackerman that line 💔
This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Also, this video is simple but amazing.

Kevin and Avi wrote this song together 😍😍
I was thinking I will run to my heavenly Father. The hold song gives me a feeling of running to Jesus.
I agree with everything you said. And for me, having Kevin sing with them without the beat boxing, adds a richness to their sound that fills my ears and soothes my soul. His beats are sick but his voice adds more butter to that PTX bread I just love to eat! This is a beautifully written song and I couldn't be happier with your reaction. Thank you.

I get the blanket feeling and shivers whenever Avi sings bass. I love that rush so much.
This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I saw them perform this in concert a few years ago, when Avi was still with the group, and when they started singing this you could have heard a pin drop in the audience of thousands. At the end the silence lasted a few more seconds and it felt like the entire arena took a breath at the same time, then started cheering. It was one of the most surreal beautiful things I've ever experienced.
I get what you're saying. I agree they do give a warm feeling.
This song makes me think of my late wife and when I'll see her again ❤
my condolences, God bless you!!!
I've never heard a more beautiful song
I love all of their music, but I am really loving their use of dissonance in this one. Very different and hauntingly beautiful 💙💙💙.
This is one of my favorite songs. It is just like melted butter.
I've never heard cords or cord progressions put together this way.
Avi is known to do things a bit differently, personally I think he is brilliant and knows how to grab you : ) I'm an Avi girl....what can I say lol
That free cord gets me everytime too
@@eyan7808 YES. Hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Every. Single. Time.
They did this live on NPR with wonderful sound quality. And someone recorded them singing this live in Germany in a church/cathedral. The resonance in the church is just lovely. Both worth a listen if you have free time.
Edit : here is the live NPR version. czcams.com/video/gVNamBJUdfU/video.html

Theres some science behind this believe it or not. Deep rich voices like Avis or say Morgan Freeman, actually cause visceral reactions in people.
The way Avis melodious deep voice underpins everyone elses, especially in opposition to Mitchs clear high tenor is one reason their songs often make us cry or shiver.
Probably too much info. But it fascinates me
The are a phenomenal group, and have many fabulous songs, but this has to be one the very best for showcasing how truly talented they are. It's one of their original songs, and it's stripped back and raw in a way the more polished covers just can quite achieve. Gives me chills every time the hit the part about breaking down the gates of heaven.
Definitely my favorite Pentatonix song, original OR cover. It's so beautiful. Kudos to Kevin and Avi for writing it.
Great reaction to a beautiful song. It's my belief that their early songs had such power and depth because of the influence of Avi. He wrote this and with Kevin, arranged it (although they all have input in their arrangements). It is one of the few songs that Kevin does not beatbox in, and the 5 part harmony is so strong. It flows from perfect harmony to crushing dissonance in waves. That very last chord, when they are humming, always gets me - it ends on a question. By the way - to sing while the flakes are rising, they learned to mouth the words of the chorus backwards (there are only 4 words, so it wasn't too hard). Then they played them singing over the video.
PTX is a gift. I didn’t pay attention for years only diving in earlier this year (pre-pandemic) but now I think that was by design. I’ve needed Pentatonix & reactions to their music this year.

Gorgeous dissonance- crunch chords and resolutions. Sheer perfection
I melt every time I hear Mitch and Avi harmonize. ❤️

This is such a warm, emotional piece with impossibly dense harmonies that breaks my heart every time I hear it. It’s always an added treat to hear Kevin sing. Thanks!
Avi’s voice has a calming effect... that is why Scott let him sing the song he wrote for Scott’s nephew... Light in the Hallway

Unbridled yet understated emotion...I dont think this song has ever failed to bring the start of a tear in my eyes...love it! Great job as always!
WARM BLANKETS!!! I've never heard it described so well
It's also one of their first original songs. A precursor to their greatness
such superb harmonies....Avi & Kevin wrote this......my take on this is the love Jesus for us all....we need to run to him....especially in these times....

Yeah for real. The venue I was at was small enough that they did it with no mic and I could still feel it in my bones
They did the same thing with "Hallelujah" in their most recent Christmas tour. Absolute silence in the arena while they were singing!
What a brilliant vocal melange! Dissonance and resolution at every turn and hardly two phrases arranged the same. A real tour de force, and I agree with your analogies as ciphers for the emotional context. Great analysis! Thank you!
I think my fav part of Run To You is when, in the bridge, Avi initially sings a bit higher then his usual tone then drops down to a gorgeous lower tone and then gradually raises it again. I honestly believe this is why the bridge is so powerful and hits you so hard.
The bridge is earth shattering

Great, great reaction! To a truly great song. Out of this world. I liked your thoughts about the warm blankets and the love that comes through in this song. Thanks for sharing!
One vocal coach reacted with the description of "decadent chocolate" especially due to Avi's low end. So your hot cocoa is in line. It is stunning.
This song/video holds a very special place in my heart- now more than ever. The lyrics are so raw and the vocals surpass what I thought possible. 💞The love in this is nearly tangible. Your reaction is just as amazing as the song. Thank you! 🙏🏼
This isn't just a warm blanket. It's a down quilt and a fireplace. Can't wait for you to react to their Christmas music and an old but good video of their live performance of Aha at the star vista

What amazes me about this song is that for such beautiful harmonies, you can clearly make out each individual's voice, every step of the way! Incredible!!
Absolutely the best honest reaction to this song...excellent work. Thank you!!
Not long ago I saw a video with them talking about this album at intro. Avi said that this is a song of longing, a longing that true love was lost, or may never be found.
Hi, there is a video from the current tour. It's heartbreaking. There were Baptist haters chanting hate patrols especially against Mitch and Scott. It was an open air, so you could hear it clearly. And the group sang run to you. It is so heart to see, how Scott suffered even physically.
It was the Westborough Baptist church. The jerk offs with all the signs?
ellen hofrath heard about that on Scott’s Instagram but haven’t been able to find video
Omg do you have a link ? I'm Christian and I CANNOT understand this kind of hate masked as a representation of Christ and His followers
ellen hofrath omg that is incredibly heartbreaking to hear. Scott and Mitch are such beautiful souls. and so incredibly loved. where is this video?
One of my proudest Pentaholic moments was when they took the stage despite the protestors. It's at the end of one of their tour videos when they're just getting ready to start the concert. They knew the protestors were there yet the vowed to entertain those who were there to hear them. I was in tears knowing what was coming. The video of them singing Run to You is definitely a tear jerker.
This is one of my favorites! I love how you're experiencing their music and your appreciation for their craft ❤
This is one of a handful of Pentatonix performances which have no beatboxing or vocal instrumentation, just five vocals, intricately woven together, and they are among the most amazing of all of their performances. "Can't Help Falling in Love" (which has an official video) and "Over the Rainbow" (which does not have an official video) are two others, and they contain some of the most gorgeous chords of any Pentatonix productions. (The version of "Over the Rainbow" to which I am referring is the one off of their 2017 EP, not the far earlier, and far inferior, version with them sitting on a staircase.)
The way they layer these vocals is stunning. Those chords--whew, especially during the bridge. Man, what you said about standing in the gap hit the spot. One of my top three Pentatonix songs.
First time hearing this song. It was very moving. 😥🥰😥 Btw, I liked the warm blanket analogy. 😉❤
Beautiful! Tender and caring.
Thank you so much for your reaction. I never looked at the song the way you were talking about it in the beginning about the warmth blanket and coming into the warmth, but it makes perfect sense. I absolutely love this song. When I hear it I physically and mentally relax and just let the emotion of the song take me on a ride. Thanks again. BTW, they just released a new video today "God only Knows" off their new album.
This is my security blanket song. When I need to calm down and feel better.
Check out BabyMetal, Road of Resistance, Live in Japan. Their previous album, Metal Resistance, was the first Japanese act to make it on the Billboard charts in over 50 years. Their new album, Metal Galaxy, just debuted at #13 this week, and #1 on the Billboard Rock Album charts, first Asian act EVER to do that.
Love their originals! This one is completely unique and just gorgeous:-)
This is just a beautiful song by them, the harmonies are stellar, the words so emotional. One of my favorites. Thanks for another great reaction.
Avi's bass is ridiculous. Good job, as usual.
Love that you're reaction to one of my all time favourite songs by one of my favourite bands wearing a T-Shirt by one of my other favourite bands
Music is an amazing thing for many great reasons, the fact that you try to put what your feeling into words is far from weird my man!!
Also, watch it all the way through and then rewind. You get the emotions that way, especially with these songs.
Man your review of this song is spot on. Pentatonix is in a league of their own.
Not real sure how I missed your reaction to this one. This is my favorite PTX song, it is so haunting but beautiful at the same time. Thank you for doing this one, DramaSydE!
Your description of how this song feels to you was only matched by their imagery in the vocals and visuals. 🥰😲
New subbie here...yes hunny!!! We were hit by a wall of sound...wonderful!
I feel like this song is a love song. I don't know if it's about human love lost and the determination to bare all and leave your heart to their mercy, or if it's a love song to God.. with the above-mentioned intent?
I feel like I'm battered, have been willful and foolish, and suffered for those decisions.
Yet, I'm willing to fight any battle I must to get to Him and throw myself on His mercy.
Either way, it's an original. It's so moving and it's a love song. 💖
This is artistry. For some reason it reminds me of "No More Walks in the Woods" by the Eagles.
Your thoughts are outstanding.
I freaking love your holiday vibes! I feel the same way. The vocals are magnificent.
The mid section is a nice choral, and this song shows Avi's amazing range.
DS, it's me again. If you want me to shut up I will but I just want to say that you are not weird man or maybe you are because your words get to me and I feel much as you do about their music. I just loved the bit about a nice warm blanket around the shoulders. So true. By the way, I have always been told that I'm weird different, odd etc. But a kind friend said no, you are unique and I realised that I am. And so are you. You are deep, sensitive and you have a sense of humour. I think you are great...keep it up and don't change!
By the way, I believe Avi and Kevin wrote this song which makes it even extra special.
I probably commented on this when you first reacted to it. But i love your reaction and your take on the lyrics and how it made you feel. I wanted to have this song in my wedding because of how well the love is explained, but it was a little too somber for the theme i was going for! It is a beautiful love song. The chords are so magnificent and creative. I love it.
I woud LOVE to hear you react to Silent Night from the album "That's Christmas To Me" of PTX ♥
Several years ago at a PTX show, Avi blew out the sound system (lol.) With no mics, they succeeded in shutting up the crowd enough to sing this song in a hall sans sound system. Fast forward to June of '19, and here's the recording of PTX in a pin-drop-quiet Madison Square Garden - singing Run to You. it's so quiet you can hear a fan weeping. czcams.com/video/zonJMLt88EQ/video.html
Loooooooved your reaction. Excellent review and can't wait for more PTX!
The new holiday album is out now. The first video, God Only Knows (the old Beach Boy's classic), is stunning.
Enjoying this journey with you. Take that warm joy with you for the rest of the day! :)
Thank you for this reaction. Such a perfect start to my day! 💙 from Texas!
Love your reaction!
Just subscribed!! Love your analysis of the music. As a singer/musician myself, I love with reactors take time to appreciate the intricacies of music. God bless. ALSO, PLEASE react to their new Christmas songs, joyful joyful, and do you hear what I hear by ptx! You’ll love them! Please also react to Jessie J singing on Singer 2018! All her performances! Bad woman vocally! And tori Kelly as well! Clark Beckham, madison Ryan, Shoshana Bean...make it rain at the ace hotel. That performance by her is amazing.
That means a lot thank you
Wow, awesome thank you
Thank you sooooo much
It's also one of their originals.
I felt what you were feeling…..warm caramel……
This is the original Pentatonix before they were big, the girl (I think her name is Kirstie or Kirstin, I just am not sure) has black hair, like drummer boy 2011/2012
