Avi Kaplan - Chains (Live from YouTube Space LA)

[@isleofjava5964]

73 years on this Earth and this is the voice I’d like to listen to for the rest of my life.

[@krhoma1129]

63 yrs. And I agree!!!!

[@tiinakari4055]

Hi. 70 years here and 62 of them with Elvis😇so happy to find Avi now💞

[@jakemaxton1714]

Instablaster...

[@vilmasandoval1356]

I agree with you, I’m 48 but since I hear his voice for few seconds in “The Black List” playing on Netflix, I said to myself I got to search for him and find out who was the man behind that amazing, beautiful, strong and deep voice. I’m hooked by his music now!!!

[@angeliquemedow224]

Meets an ache in the soul. Thank you.

[@ricoelias]

If you know pain and suffering you know those chains.

[@JaY-mv7iw]

[@heyjonjoebailey]

[@reyazdar]

[@DinoBlaxx]

[@lifewithnia5642]

Same!

[@sangitasrinivasan1795]

Me too!

[@leandabee]

I came here because of The Blacklist S8 ep11. Superb! 💝💝👌

[@shecaso]

I’m going on 60 and can’t stop listenning to Avi. I hope to see him in Portugal one day.

[@tonyasnow2712]

Fire Country, episode 9. Brought me here.

[@DinoBlaxx]

Thanks blacklist for playing this song on show. I have found another favorite song.

[@rekostarr7149]

We're singing all day and night Avi. Even when you're not here yet.

[@shaunsayre8520]

The Blacklist and Shazam broght me here to Mr. Kaplan. Cool song, cool sound.

[@tinacarter2325]

Yep!

[@apocalypticexcavator5454]

My problem with Avi is that he is just so good performing live that one doesn't really feel it's live.

[@makaylah_d6367]

Exactly, I'm sure someone is gonna be like he lip sung that. But no sis he is just hella talented. On periodt

[@PizzaHutCEO]

My problem is that he can’t do all of the parts by himself lol

[@apocalypticexcavator5454]

@@PizzaHutCEO I bet he could in a recorded vid.

[@kofiholman8325]

Hahahah

[@FernyBass]

Apocalyptic Excavator He knows, but he is talking about in a live performance. Which ain’t possible for anyone.

[@benkalem]

You don't really hear low voices in music too often, at least not outside of support roles. It's so refreshing to listen.

[@peeta1224]

I fell awful when he said he was leaving Pentatonix to work on his solo career, but it was so worth. This is great!!!

[@N9TheNoob]

this is 1000 times better

[@krasje28]

Damn! i was searching for this song and then i sw the nameand thought where do i know it from.

[@rhondaholtfrazer7800]

He really wanted time with his family! Ptx kept a tight schedule of performances in the last ten years. He needed a break.

[@asdv]

Bless The blacklist which brought me here

[@Erika-jl8so]

57 years old and very grateful to God for the arrival of this balm for the heart into my life. Just at the right time 🌳 It seems there is a quorum for a gray-haired fan club. 👵🏻👩🏻‍🦳

[@BroJoeBass]

LYRICS:: All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down My mind's a haze With all this pain And I can't change a thing Lost in this maze I can't find a way I can't break my spirit free All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down Yeah I drift away To a brighter place That I close my eyes to see And then someday I think that things will change But I'm losing my belief All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down I'm down on my knees I need some relief Some quiet and peace I've been here before Tethered and torn I won't take anymore All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down All of these chains Weighing down on me Weighing down Thank you avi for such beautiful words ❤️

[@legalnut9950]

They're also in the Video description

[@gwendolyncollins9109]

Thank you Joe, for putting the lyrics on KZbin! Just heard this song for the first time tonight on The Blacklist. I was riveted❣️Thanks Avi

[@MickKingOfficial]

If campfires could sing, I believe they would sound like Avi. So warm and fuzzy. 🖤

[@rhondaholtfrazer7800]

Im watching Fire Country AND Avi's song Chains is playing in background!! THIS IS AWESOME..NICE JOB🎉🎉🎉

[@lisawoolever3240]

OMGosh I just watched it and recognized it immediately!! VERY GOOD JOB!❣️❣️❣️

[@glrivera1]

Fire Country is what brought me to this also. There was a time in my life that this song was about me.

[@tracylinden8043]

Noah brought me here! ;) Hope to see you guys out on the road in 2024.

[@submix-ov1pp]

please Avi keep on singing, you touch my soul, I love your voice

[@WoobieHugs]

Heard this in the last scene of S1E9 of "Fire Country"! Recognized the unmistakable voice immediately and once I'd heard a couple lines, I knew who and what it was. SO glad your solo efforts are getting more exposure, Avi!!

[@seliasthemage]

Avi's voice is so amazing.

[@cathyperger2984]

I love Avi’s voice! I am addicted.

[@j26496]

Greatful that they put this song in blacklist great song

[@dianaspy6733]

Got to see him Live in Texas last December! It was great! I hope he liked his bag of Christmas gifts!❤️💫🎉👏🌹

[@bluebayoudragonfly]

...the message touched my heart and soul...just heard this song on "The Blacklist" and it took me to another place...and now I'm watching it being sung by a man that looks like Jesus with a beautiful voice u just cant tear yourself away from.Wow.

[@lifewithnia5642]

I heard this song from the new episode of the blacklist also and I had to figure out what was it!!

[@sangitasrinivasan1795]

Me too !

[@brianblankenship4840]

I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THIS SONG FROM SOMEWHERE! I had no idea it was Avi!

[@brandysiler3017]

That's what led me here too lol Blacklist!!

[@kayecastleman6353]

As a long-time Avi fan I recognized "Chains" right away on Blacklist. It was a perfect choice, bringing more angst and depth to the scene.

[@karahjuul269]

Omg this song is on the Netflix show fire country episode 9 i havent really kept up with avi since he left ptx but i recognize his voice anywhere ❤

[@Tracy_Envernizzi]

THE HEALING VOICE OF AVI

[@mammycher8895]

One artist who sounds better live than records. Just heaven.

[@elainepacheco2]

That soft voice, but with the power of a cannon, a real thunder that touches people's souls! You can listen to Avi Kaplan all day, without tiring! A hug from Brazil!

[@robinleggett2448]

Blacklist sent me here. Love it.

[@c.myesska1798]

Wow what a wonderful surprise when he started singing!

[@peternganga8856]

The blacklist got me here..perfect choice of song by the team and also powerful message relayed by Avi💪

[@jhoyceloba4339]

same

[@elenahume8295]

totally agree

[@joyknowles2508]

So refreshing to hear Avi with his guitar these days. 😀

[@pablohenriquediasgoncalves8744]

Avi é um monstro de cantor. Tudo que faz fica diferenciado.

[@romulorafael5563]

concerteza

[@elyborges6451]

Falou a verdade ele e muito bom

[@jesuschildmgb]

To get through, we need all of us

[@kin0mine]

Thank you, Avi 🧡

[@rachellucas9476]

Thank you so....much for sharing your gifts with all of us!!!💖😃🙏

[@edgaragustian4508]

I really falling in love with his bass voice 😍

[@tyuka2500]

I was sad when he left his group, but I’m happy for his decision after listening to his solo songs. He deserves more than he had and he even shines more as a solo. He sings with his soul, he’s not just a bass part now though he also shined a lot as a bass guy in the group.

[@cherwynambuter7873]

Oh, t Yuka, I absolutely AGREE!!! He HAD to move on. His spirit and soul wouldn't allow anything else because all this was bursting at the seams to emerge! (Although more time with family and friends may have actually been the initial reason, as stated...But then this happened!)

[@juliew1966]

Avi, darlin, thank you for bringing back the bass. 😱😍❤️❤️❤️🎵🎵🎵

[@__Avisfanchannel]

Thank you so much I’m honored to have you as a fan really lovely how are you doing today ?

[@yodababy]

He has put into words how I have felt for the past 22 years... "My minds a maze, with all this pain and I can't change a thing...I've been here before, tethered and torn... Yeah I drift away to a brighter place that I close my eyes to see, and then someday I think that things will change, but I'm losing my belief..." This song touched me shriveled little heart. I can imagine many many people will find it relatable. Thank you Avriel for making this song that speaks for many of us. תודה 🙏 😔

[@carolrichards7654]

You, sir, are amazing!

[@__Avisfanchannel]

No thank you!! For the undying love and support towards my songs really uplifts my spirit and you do have a beautiful smile where are you from?

[@conniebrown5594]

2 of my favorite things about Avi - deep powerful voice & whistling. He's winning! Great song

[@user-us3og9dk8d]

The Best voice The Best music ..

[@KatLeibar9946]

Oooh, when he sings it tickles my ears! (I have earbuds in)

[@oddyssusthejourneyisthepoi4905]

Timeless

[@deenabryson1626]

💕 love to hear him sing!

[@__Avisfanchannel]

No thank you!! For the undying love and support towards my songs really uplifts my spirit and you do have a beautiful smile where are you from?

[@HowToSurviveLife.]

I am here with you, Avi!

[@azrielspringer546]

There are no words to describe how much depth is in this man's voice. It's just too much for my poor heart. I'm hooked

[@hardyqsq]

Thank You, Avi for great song and perfomance. I have been throught darkest chained periods 2-3 times. Have been totally disabled last time in my own soul of prison. I got right treatment, after one disaster with medication driven neuroleptic serotonin syndrome. I dont make big plans , but make short time plans for fulfilling my life with new joy. Try to go through life while laughing , every bad thing or occasion always gives also something good, to say in hindsight.🦋

[@Елена-ы1т3е]

Ави, любимый, спасибо что ты с нами! ❤️

[@carmenjm5001]

I can't stop listenign to this song, it very much reflects how i currently feel, can't stop looking at his face either, such a beatiful masculine visage...

[@johnnaliggett3625]

My favorite song.

[@kunfuyy]

Mind blown!!

[@therealpixie]

Thanks Avi. You are one of my favorite people in the whole world. I'm so glad you're visiting us during lockdown. Not as good as going to your concert, but that will come!

[@Sonnenschein2901]

Oh ...I can't explain how much I love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathyhall6434]

Avi, I hope you're a saved man cause I'd love to hear you in Heaven, plus I want you to be saved because Jesus loves you and He's coming back soon. Blessings ❣

[@elenahume8295]

I think the same

[@cathyboyce9617]

The live chat stopped before my last comment went through : Simply being a part of this appreciative fan group , getting to share moments like this, lets us realize even more how much we are all in this together, Avi, and how much you help keep us centered in doing so with happiness. Again and again, Thank you ~~~ I have wonderful pictures of my grandfather playing horseshoes with his great-grandsons

[@АлександрКузнецов-щ8х]

Ooh...My heart skipped a beat. The song ended, and I found myself not breathing. AVI is great and powerful!

[@isleofjava5964]

LOL I'm ancient, but this young man transports me to places decades earlier in my life. I will never forget his love of his family and watching his interactions with his mother on the old tour video. Talent. Integrity. Talent. Kindness. Talent. Love. My husband just discovered I'm posting here. He says he's ready for a night of Kaplan.

[@michelleshirek9253]

Whoo I like it The Great and Powerful Avriel Now he just needs a shell and telekinesis

[@nimimiiiii]

Avi explaining depression soo beautifully ♥️. The chains are breakable and depression is treatable no shame in asking for help. Avi praying that your light keeps shinning while you help us uncovered these "chains weighing down" ♥️♥️♥️

[@cherwynambuter7873]

Caleb - INCREDIBLE falsetto!!! WOW!!! Congratulations, so much control and fluidity, tuning's superb, unbelievable. Great job, thanks for adding that to the sound. It's a fabulous contribution!

Just simply beautiful. I love it! Thank you so very much!

[@elizabethgourde4474]

The words might be beautiful but the DELIVERY

[@judywashington4848]

Awesome sound

[@justlinsu]

Please accept my apologies for saving this song from your mini concert...I trimmed it and put it on youtube....but not for any personal gain...just to promote your amazing talent to many fans who just love this song...as do I. KZbin removed it....so I'm more than happy now you've released it ...I'm Australian and doing my best to be pro active here. Much Love

[@jusefinocachorro9790]

How can someone like me love this voice so much and this person this guy and the love of my life he is perfect. 😓🤩🥰

[@cavebearmama]

Yes.!poor sap. 😁. This man turns my crank. His voice is just so beautiful. And his vocal range is amazing. DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE WISH HED SING SOME LOVE SONGS?? Pleeeeeze Avi!!🙏🏻❤️

[@cherwynambuter7873]

I actually wrote in and asked if he'd be willing to cover "Time in a Bottle"...But now after contemplating the universal connections in all of his songs, I'm not sure anymore that I would want him to sing love songs. That kind of makes it about two people in their own little world, whereas at present, his songs are for all of humanity! All of us in this world together and in need of connection. I think this is so beautiful and so spiritual.

[@thaik7474]

the notification that I love the most ❤❤❤

[@laurakramer396]

LOVE YOU AVI! Beautiful voice and beautiful songs!

[@abigaillockey374]

Wow, Avi! Sometimes I think you must have a way to look into my soul and know what I'm feeling. This one touched me and love the whistling, as always. Thank you!

[@joelfergant5201]

Excellent song !

Avi, you might not remember me but it doesn’t matter... I want to tell you again: you are one of the rare talents that is old school and you should keep true to your soul as you are now... pentatonix was your downfall, but now you are shining again!!!! Don’t stop!!! You really are amazing
