Avi Kaplan - Chains (Alt Version) (Official Audio)

[@suestarizm5228]

It was always obvious that Avi has a very deep soul and his solo music reflects that. I just fell in love with his voice. Can't believe I found out about Avi, Pentatonix, etc just 4 days ago. His solo music is incredible. Avi feels. I feel.

[@pattyst2945]

Omg... 4 hours Ago!!! If you allow me to give advice. Listen to Pentatonix - Hallelujah. Best version ever!!! And ptx - Daft punk too

[@suestarizm5228]

@@pattyst2945 4 DAYS :-) yes, i bingewatched all I could find of Avi and some Ptx

[@kaitlinsebbage2120]

Welcome! I'm glad you found it all, especially the solo stuff. I hope people keep coming across Avi. :)

[@rosedoodles1853]

Avi's voice is the most beautiful yet haunting one I've heard in a long time.

[@fredm.9031]

The weight of "truth" can be hard to bare alone, especially in times like these. I sometimes feel the ignorant are the truly blessed. Beautiful song, as always!

[@sev462]

Группа с ним звучала совершенно по другому, но иначе мы не услышали бы его полное раскрытие!

[@ComedyBros5]

I wish he'd release more originals, instead of releasing different versions of songs we've already heard from him. His voice is incredible, and I just can't get enough of it!

[@mariawilliams4941]

[@lkayh]

Just heard this song on Fire Country-it’s gorgeous. I’d never heard the song before, but I recognized your beautiful voice immediately. What a gift you have. Thanks for sharing!

[@sharonh951]

My husband was watching the show too, and the instant I heard the music I said "OMG, that's Avi ! "This song is one of my favorites. Honestly, I love all of Avi's songs.

[@abigailpickett1687]

I heard Avi's voice and was like, "wait, is that him?!"

[@taongtyk]

I'm watching it right now and had to look him up. It is hard not too appreciate such a voice 🔥

[@lkayh]

@@taongtykCheck out Change on the Rise if you haven’t already. And he has a new one coming Feb 2 that sounds like it’ll be amazing.

[@reziel9999]

Bro... I just saw it on Fire Country such a beautiful song

[@matthewsailors3153]

Avi makes real music because it comes from real experiences. You can hear the angst in his voice and the pain in the throbbing beat. It's just vulnerable, simple and truthful

[@rolandbrunnett8456]

Just heard this song on Fire Country. Wish I found it earlier:)

[@LionessAneisha]

same here, episode: 9

[@brokenangel02]

Just woke up in the morning and found this. Best gift ever. 😍😍

[@GrumpetteJV]

I am so glad you left Pentatonix. I mean, it was sweet while it lasted, but you shine so, so much brighter solo. Best decision ever. 🖤

[@Mikosha97]

Yeah, there he was just the bass on the background. Though I can't say I don't miss him in ptx 😭😹

[@jasonstafford5842]

Now if only he posted more often

[@sweetkissez64]

I feel the same way.....I just wish I had seen PTX live when Avi was still with them.

[@marywright2739]

Meant for Grumpette... What an idiot

[@morganbojie1227]

What?!😂😭 He didn’t have to leave... he could have just done solo stuff on the side like the rest of the band does. Plus he DID have his shining moments in PTX, but I do get why he left... and he’s happy, and we still get to hear him sing, so... I’m not complaining🤷🏾‍♀️

[@reubenshiflet]

Avi isnt just a good opera singer, jazz singer, acapella singer, or solo act, he's such an amazing person!

[@carenburmeister5002]

Congratulations ! I heard this song on the Blacklist (NBC) tonight. Season 8, episode 11.

[@matsosa]

2:44 Oh my lord, those notes that he sang with that beautiful voice just took me to a different world🙌🏽🙌🏽✨🔥

[@beautifulgift8260]

You can really get that he's singing from the heart. Avi is real talent.

[@mariawilliams4941]

So very true

[@super_siri]

I was just watching blacklist with my boyfriend and heard this on the background at the end of the latest episode, it was so perfect in the show at that moment, and I was so beyond excited for you that you're getting played in a big outlet putting you in front of a lot of people who wouldn't hear your music normally. Congratulations Avi!!!

[@krasje28]

Same here, i didn't reconize it at forst so had to Google it. then i saw the name and waslike i know this and then it came to me.And as you say the moment in the show w0w.

[@serenelysavage]

Just heard this on "The Blacklist". I jumped out of my skin, I was so excited! People were like, "What?" and I yelled, "That's Avi!"

[@osamaahmed6741]

I just came here from the episode too XD

[@shell7223]

I did the same thing 😂

[@SamWinch]

Same here - so happy for Avi

[@super_siri]

SAME, and I only watch Blacklist at my boyfriend's when he watches it, so I was lucky to hear it, because sometimes he watches it when I'm not around.

[@__Avisfanchannel]

Hello thank you for the undying love and support I’m really honored to have such amazing person like you as a fan Where are you from?

[@flavaqueen5287]

Fire Country S1E9 brought me here. What a voice!!! 😍 Goosebumps...

[@bigcountry7549]

Same

[@tammyedwards8016]

When Avi sings...No words to explain. I just get so relaxed. It has a calming effect like nothing else. I enjoy listening to all of his stuff.

[@ozspencers]

Why does this transport me back to the 70s? Maybe it's been that long since music moved me so much.

[@keepbreathing9237]

OMG! The difference is enormous - like an entirely different artist performing. Isn’t the fluidity of music great? Gosh! This is so good! Thanx!

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

What a talented musician. My jaw drops everytime he creates or re-creates a piece of music.

[@robert.st7]

Congratulations for this song being a soundtrack for The Blacklist !!!!

[@cora-lynselchie5020]

Damn, his voice vibrates your soul.

[@cora-lynselchie5020]

I am Shooketh...

[@mariawilliams4941]

It really does 💜💜

[@micahperry3186]

I just want to say it, even if you never see it. Your music has helped me through probably the crappiest period of my life Avi. Your music heals the soul and has helped me cope. I count myself extremely lucky to have had these troubles at the same time you've been releasing your music. Things have finally started to look up for me, so thanks for getting me through the ringer. God Bless Edit: for those going through something bad. Come to music, friends, family, whatever you have to; to get through. Whatever it is, it may be extremely hard to get through it, but you can do it. Keep your heads up and take as much appreciation as you can out of the beautiful things in life. It'll get better if you seek the light.

[@vbella39]

Here in NJ our electric has off because of a tropical storm since Tuesday, no WiFi at all. Suddenly a free emergency one popped up on my screen and connected and what do I see! Notification for this amazing acoustic version by this amazing human! Boy am I blessed! Best thing I have seen in 3 days and perfect as usual! 🤗💚🔆🌲

[@ruthvillalva5180]

I’m so happy for you...wifi came at the right time 😊❤️

[@sergeysmirnov1083]

I think Avraam has a piece of Russian soul. Our brown bears in the forest, delighted with his songs! Respect.

[@hannehankeln4352]

The darkest of places and you came with your light. We are free now Avi 🙏🏼 Thank you with all my heart for this beautiful music. I love it very much ❤

[@ptxcolleen2393]

Oh my goodness Avi. I'm weeping. So powerful.

[@trbolive]

Ok...wow! Here's the deal...I adore the originals of his songs, so how can I love the new ones?! They're very very different...but yet, I do! Sooo, I will have them all, and the differences will speak to my soul. Thank you Avi for your talent, time and love. Do us a favor though, don't ever change for success...only when your senses say. You are unique, and that's what we all feel.❤❤❤

[@adriennejames9120]

Absolutely beautiful... like the sound of a forest spirit rising up from the mist...

[@warhawk5138]

Dude, i feel u, Avi's music is the best antidepressant

[@mariawilliams4941]

💜💜

[@MichelleC50]

Oh my, how he sings the word "chains" at 0:54, and 2:27-2:35 is completely captivating to me. Beautifully done Avi!

[@aprilanderson6432]

@Avi_Kaplan this song hurts. I’ve been here too many times. I cry for myself and for you and anyone else who wears heavy chains. YOU’LL GET BY

[@michelacaobianco579]

Absolutely perfect... every single word hits my heart and soul... This is the best way to start a day! Thank you Avi. You are a light for me and many other people. Stay safe. Love

[@talhaarslan754]

best song ever

[@mjpilapil6189]

I was a fan of pentatonix but not for long. Everything was evolving that not of us all can relate and here you are killing it 😁 Your songs has a lot of heart and it is so deep 🙈🙊🙉

[@mariawilliams4941]

💜💜

[@patpulliam]

What a velvety voice and such depth. I feel like he sings from his soul.

[@mariawilliams4941]

Totally agree 💜

[@eschultz6015]

Avi, thank you for being a bright light in a dark world. This is the perfect song to describe me right now. It really helps to hear my thoughts made into such a beautiful song. So thank you and keep being amazing!

[@PhilDua]

Avi’s deep voice plus his powerful songs combined together create absolute perfection!! I wish to become as well a true artist like him! ❤️🎵

[@JessicaWilson82]

You are a blessing to music. I love love love your originals but I also love how you aren't too humble to take these already amazing songs and make them into something more. More... Meaningful. More emotional. Perhaps not better, but able to be appreciated differently. Thank you again and again for sharing your talent and thoughts and heart with the world.

[@marymauck8947]

Your words represent all of us at some point in our lives and they definitely resonate with me. Beautiful.

[@sophia4915]

Watching The Blacklist and knew I heard a familiar voice! Well done, “Mr. Kaplan”! 😉😁🖤

[@dawngayle9175]

This song touches my heart and soul. Thank you Avi, your voice is a gift to this world.💟We all long for that quiet and peace.

[@NoahMDub]

I definitely felt the emotion behind the song. All of Avi’s music seems to have a deeper meaning and feeling in not just the lyrics, but the sound as well. There seems to be a higher sense of urgency in this song with the higher notes compared to the original version, which definitely caught me. I don’t mean to sound like a music critic btw, and I enjoy all of his music! Thank you so much Avi!

[@Mei-st5bq]

I am so glad for your time both in PTX and here....both groups have grown! And gone their own beautiful ways I honor your journey friend

[@hamzarahmouni1708]

Thank you blacklist🙏🙏🙏

[@Radarhawkeye]

It's awesome how he can say those feelings of pain but calmly in this song. That's my thought.

I have been listening to this on repeat since last night and all day today. 😂 I’ll (God willing) fall asleep listening to this tonight as well. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. 😊

[@samanthawalker4171]

Oh gosh, Avi I feel ya babe, I really do. 😔😔. I'm going through stuff right now and I've no idea how long its gonna go on for ! Its draining to the point where its sucking every ounce of life out of me. I'm trying to keep strong for my kids and my sanity, but just being able to shut off every now and then and listen to your music is what's keeping me going. Thankyou Avi, seriously, thankyou. ❤😇🙏❤

[@augustopena945]

I really admire you and how you evolve every time you release a new song ❤

I’m writing my story of child abuse and trafficking. My brothers and I were both abused and trafficked. I’m the historian, I guess. Your music, powerful voice, creativity and strength gets me through the hardest parts, and brings a peace so deep I cannot express. Thank you isn’t enough. But it’s all I have. Blessed Be.

[@beautifulgift8260]

I think that's a powerful way to face your past. I hope what you write helps someone who may have gone through the same thing, that's if you're willing to share it after it's written. Best of luck.
