[@PeterBarber]

The legendary bass is back with another brilliant cover! What do I still need to analyze from Geoff's discography?

[@iamsquatty]

His cover of high and dry from radiohead 💜

[@Mei391]

His cover of Big Bad John🙏🙇‍♂️

[@razorx2024]

if you never checked out his cover of take me home, country roads you really should because it's excellent 😆

[@marshayoung9387]

I can't wait for your reaction to Voice Plays new cover to Seven Nation Army

[@marshayoung9387]

I wish you would have let it play till the end of the credits so everyone can hear his very important message at the end along with his awesome comedic twist.

[@melissacreel4719]

Geoff wrote those new lyrics himself. Really cool!

[@jenniferenger5671]

Geoff has a hilarious PSA at the end of this video about the tracks they filmed on. Make sure you watch the original all the way to the end to see that.

[@catriverotter9527]

Peter reacted to the Patreon version, which doesn't have Geoff's advice at the end....

[@ilonadever8249]

Peter, he released the Geoff quartet early with a warning that it was NOT the final video. If you have time, go back and watch that. The interaction between the four Geoff's is funny as all get out. It would have been a completely different feel if he'd used that without the train walker. His attention to detail in the video is my favorite thing. The back of the photograph says "See you on the golden shore" or something very close. And the bouquet of baby's breath. That was the sweetest, most wistful, hopeful thing I've seen!! And the end chord was reminiscent of his cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen two years ago. He did a cover of the Mills Brothers' TIll Then a sweet romantic ballad from the perspective of a soldier at war hoping his girl waits for him.

[@Broomrider1492]

The added music and lyrics are just Geoff making it better and his own.

[@danielbeshers1689]

I'll see you in the next time too!

[@ladykilgore2337]

Your sarcastic edits for the loud belting demonstrations had me cackling! Especially the cut to the color bars joke. I'm still laughing about it. Fantastic analysis as always. When I first listened to this, I was struck by how southern gospel it sounded at times. I grew up heavily with southern gospel as my parents are both from small Georgia towns. There were moments in this song that transported me back to sitting around singing in 4-part harmony with my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, complete with country riffs, call-and-response singing, suspended chords, and soooo many picardy thirds and Aeolian cadences. We were a very musical family but most of them are gone now. I miss those days.

[@angel665b]

The soft and squishy lines at the end are my ring tone now.

[@Wildecat10]

I think some of the credit for the different look of the video goes to Layne Stein. He did the train tracks portion, and suggested shots over and above what Geoff had in mind. And Kathy filmed the last scene with the abandoned locomotive.

[@angel665b]

I can not wait until you get to Voiceplay's Seven Nation Army.

[@Traci2000]

I think Geoff has been working on his diction in his lower register. From Christmas to now, the difference is noticable. Especially over the last couple months. It's much more clear than it used to be, for sure, and it was already pretty good. I love that he's been writing for their covers lately too. Both for VoicePlay and himself (like in this one). I'm hoping we'll soon get an original song from VP. I know they have some original stuff already, but it's more silly and fun. I'd like to see them take a crack at a full on production of a new song.

[@DavideBaroni]

As far as I read in comments to other reactions, that bridge was Geoff's composition, he added it to the song but it should be an original part from him. Someone commented that the fact that so many are taking it for another country song is a hint at how good he's been at composing it 😁. It's always really nice to watch your reactions, and yes, as far as I'm concerned you definitely add something (more than something...) to my experience and comprehension of what goes on in the song, ad I'm so grateful for this. ❤ In the "normal version" there is a "public service notice" Geoff gave right after his logo... 😁😁 I'll let you hear it by yourself, the way he does it is funny and adorable 😁. Thanks again for everything you share with us. See you next time!

[@Mei391]

Yet another great reaction and analysis .... Peter barber never disappoints 🥂🔥

[@christinestromberg4057]

I've been waiting for this. :) Geoff was asked if he played the guitat and he said yes, but on the keybaord. :) His lowest notes now sound to me like a cello. Minions, I like that. And to avoid the monotony he wrote a bridge! As with Golden Hour he's started sneaking in some words of his own. The most amusing moment for me is when check shirt Geoff smiles broadly whilst singing "He has no friends to help him now." LOL.

[@MiladyMacabre]

Right, Geoff composed and wrote the bridge, as he's done on several of his covers and VoicePlay's covers. What you missed by reacting to the Patreon release is the great PSA over the credits about walking on train tracks. Go check it out - I won't spoil the laugh on you.

[@FernyBass]

Bless your editor😂

[@MagicMason1000]

😁

[@red5250]

XD

[@nuvoclassic]

Howdy Peter, I also listened to Geoff on .75 speed - w-o-w! My grandfather was a bass in opera (original Porgy and Bess)! I LOVED his voice. So glad I found you!

[@Cpperk95]

I always enjoy your reactions. This was no different - love learning - plus you make the sweetest faces while concentrating. ,

[@alexwalker8440]

Yep, again, Geoff rules!! I still love Home Free's version, but this one is so different and awesome, it blew my brain off! 🤯 Peter, my friend, you need more patience! You missed a very important message from brother Geoff at the end 🤣. Really, you did! And I hope you react to VoicePlay's Seven Nation Army real soon!

Peter reacted to the Patreon version, which doesn't have Geoff's advice at the end....

@@catriverotter9527 You're right, but that's the one labeled V2, not the "Public Release" one. And Geoff said there might be differences between them. Btw, I love some of the cut scenes from the very first one! 😍

[@KaaSerpent]

You do need to make sure you go back and watch the end wherein Geoff exhorts us not to walk on train tracks that are in use. :)

Love the Peaky fookin blinders reference with the Abarama Gold comparison🤘🏻

[@Starrynightdiner]

Peter, were you on the live last saturday? He showed some sheet music that Layne was trying to get him to sing. I think you’d get a kick out of it.

[@ljt974]

Gahd DAYMN those E1s... This was awesome Peter, I always look forward to your comments and analyses but I knew you were going to have a field day with this one!

[@brenden5763]

Man I was really looking forward to that belt at 14:03 🤣

[@red5250]

haha same

[@Drake844221]

He really did a killer job on this one, didn't he? Such a different vibe, while still being true to the heart of it.

[@carinarodebak9419]

I've been waiting so eagerly for your analysis of this cover. You always has so much to share. Geoff wrote that bridge for this song himself. Just as he added a bridge to VP cover of Golden Hour. As for mentioning Peaky Blinders, did you notice that I finally got Richard Laudon to yield to my request to react to your Peaky Blinders song? I thought it fitting, as he works at a local radio station in Birmingham. You did cut out on Geoff's good advise though.

[@asemlagnestal282]

Peter reacted to the Patreon version. There was no advice in that. The advice is just in the KZbin version.

[@katthor7311]

I'd say the only disappointment in this reaction is that since you used the Patreon version, we didn't get to see you react to Geoff talking about how we're soft and squishy. 😆 Another great, informative, and funny reaction. Thank you, Peter.

[@juantimer]

Fantastic as usual, Peter. I truly enjoy watching you sink your teeth (or Viper fangs as it were) into a great Geoff performance.

[@red5250]

I was dying laughing when you were attempting the belts, especially at 14:03 i literally burst out laughing LMFAO great analysis and video as always

First time on your channel, but not the last...loved everything about your analysis and a new fan of YOUR voice. I feel like I got a two-fer listening to this. Will be watching..😊

[@deniblackmore2179]

Great reaction and analysis - always interesting to hear your thoughts and explanations. Both Geoff on his own and VoicePlay as a group seem to be raising the bar even higher with the cinematics and production of late. Love how he added his own lyrics and rocked this up, without losing the country feel - additional lyrics seem to be a theme for them as well at the moment. Have you looked at Geoff's version of "High And Dry" yet or "Blackbird"? Would like to hear your thoughts on those.

[@scott2836]

As always, Geoff manages to find ways to surprise and delight - and rattle our teeth a little. The tempo of this was a little unsettling, NGL - but it wasn’t off putting. I did also like the scenery as a nice change of pace. Lots of natural beauty out there, might as well take advantage. That Picardy third, though. Music theory was a few *cough* decades back for this old bass… 😂

[@George-ux6zz]

I've watched this a couple of times already. It's very good 👍

[@Metaz]

Geoffs voice and singing style is my goal as an aspiring bass vocalist. Great rundown as always Peter even though you didn't give him the last Viper at the end ;)

[@samuelsiggelow7106]

I've been checking your page near daily to see when you analyzed this song. Thank you!!

[@Badger77722]

I guess it must have been after you created your reaction video, but at some point Geoff said that he always thought the song needed a bridge - so he wrote one for it!

[@George-ux6zz]

I saw this weeks ago

[@trishaurvan9439]

Peter, I hope you analyze the new VoicePlay cover of Seven Nation Army. It is so good! A Geoff arrangement! It is fire!

[@iamsquatty]

I was so looking forward to your analysis of this one! It was amazing! Thanks again for doing these, it's so interesting to learn the technicalities of these songs 💜

[@reedhaley15]

Great analysis of a brilliant performer!

[@lkayh]

I wanna know where he got that hat-did they “age” it or did it come that way? That looks SO much like my stepdad’s fishing hat. That final chord is kind of becoming Geoff’s signature. You hear it a lot in his songs. Love your analyses-and those E1’s!

[@asemlagnestal282]

Geoff re-used a hat one of the clones used in Ghost Riders in the Sky.

[@shirleykarr560]

@@asemlagnestal282 Geoff used the pants and vest that Ghost Rider Jeff wore for Hobo Geoff here, but this hat he borrowed from PattyCake's costume collection. It wasn't in GRitS. I didn't notice until someone else pointed it out that Lead Geoff and Hobo Geoff are wearing the same reversible shirt.

[@stephaniecolpron6379]

really interesting breakdown as usual. 👍🏻

[@MultiKamil97]

Great and informative videos as always! By the way, that low subharmonic or whatever it was, it was E1.

[@Meg-td3rb]

I think the other song within the main one is based on an old Southern gospel song, and may actually be a verse I've not heard.

[@Gael4ce]

Nope. It’s something Geoff just wrote for this. But everyone thinks it’s from something else. 😊

[@newfiescreech7328]

Excellent analysis! I first heard the lyrics to this song on Bob Dylan's first album. Completely different arrangement, but worth the listen!

[@debrabouchez4270]

Have you considered covering Voiceplays colab with Kurt Hugo Snyder Twenty one pilots mashup. Unique and fun!

[@Gael4ce]

Firstly, I do think that weird chord is weird. I don’t remember the orig feeling that jazzy. Second, thank you for the actual lol you gave me when you hit Geoff’s new bridge and actually went 😮. I had to stop the vid and take time to finish giggling. For what it’s worth, this one surprised the crap outa me too. I Do Not Like this song. At all. I only gave it a shot because I figured Geoff would do Geoff things and make it at least tolerable to me. He made me like it, lol. That bridge brought in so much blues to my ears and it just sewed it up to me. And I learned something new today: I learned what a Picka…however that’s spelled …chord is. Thank you! Excellent as always!

[@MuriKakari]

I think that where Geoff has the jazzy chord, the original is actually the same note as the one before- and that is a very jazzy chord. In the original, it's a rise while singing 'for', then 'I'm' 'bound' 'to' all on the same note very staccato then 'ride' going down exactly the opposite of 'for'

[@catriverotter9527]

Peter, great song/artist choice & R&A, as always! 🤓 It seems like Geoff took a lament or melancholy ballad & reshaped it into a dance tune, almost. I really like his cover 💜 Thanks again! BTW, what did you mean at 11:30 - 11:42, "appagiatoura [sp?] from the bottom"? I haven't encountered that term before....

[@MagicMason1000]

An Appoggiatura is a arrangement technique where you take a step before a note, if that makes sense. For example, if you had the notes: C, B, A, going down one after the other, you could insert an Appoggiatura before the A to create C, B, G-A. It's called a Non-Chord Tone (or Musical Ornament) and it's a little hard to explain in plain text, but there's examples online you can find.

[@catriverotter9527]

@@MagicMason1000 Thank you! 🤓Now that you've given me the correct spelling I'll have a lot more luck looking it up.... 🙄😏

[@majhaludek3852]

I absolutely love your explanations. My two favorites are Dimash and Dan Vasc. Please please react to Dan singing the role of Jesus speaking to his Father just before the crucifixion, from Jesus Christ Superstar, where he sings Gethsemane . He absolutely lives the role better than Neeley.

I normally like everything Geoff does, but this one just didn't work for me. It's far to energetic and hyperactive for the song he's covering.
