Bass Singer FIRST-TIME REACTION & ANALYSIS - VoicePlay | The Dragonborn Comes

[@PeterBarber]

Okay, immediately adding Skyrim music to my playlists, and the game to my "games I need to play" list ⚔Coming out of the gate with a C#1 subharmonic, we immediately get swept off into a land of myth and legend -- shoutout to VoicePlay for taking on this iconic video game theme, and giving us more excellent music to enjoy. Any other video game music (and/or covers of video game music) you guys want me to analyze? Also, PSA: I realized at now o' clock that I totally forgot my Pit Vipers for this one!!! Let it be known that Geoff earned Pit Viper status on the opening C#1 subharmonic! 🐍

[@mkozicka]

I really love Your analysis. Just one thing - around minute 23 You hear change in sound quality in the high notes. It is not. It is just Omar taking over from Eli really smoothly

[@mkozicka]

And PS; please get better soon. You look a bit pale

[@PeterBarber]

[@ColtonRMagby]

This is a great analysis of a great song. The language is Dovahzuul, or Dragon Speak, which was created for the soundtrack and the dragon you fight in the game. If you hear Fus Ro Dah, that means Force Balance Push, and is a shout called Unrelenting Force. The first Word of Power you learn, Fus, is in Bleak Falls Barrow when you retrieve the Dragonstone. This shout will send your opponents flying off of cliffs, so be careful when using all three Words of Power.

[@PeterBarber]

Great insight -- thanks for sharing 🙏

[@ColtonRMagby]

@@PeterBarber You're welcome.

[@Redrickson1]

When they sang Fus Ro Dah, you can see an effect like the Unrelenting force shout from skyrim.

[@ColtonRMagby]

@@Redrickson1 Good eye. I missed it.

[@alphamajor0195]

The Fus-Roh-Dah part gave me chills 💯

[@krystofdayne]

The arpeggio bass runs are in the original too but to have the gall the have a singer reproduce them-that really shows VoicePlay's faith in Geoff's ability! Amazing

[@wongcayven9893]

I'm pretty sure this arrangement was made by Geoff, at least that's what I heard from The Charismatic Voice

[@krystofdayne]

@@wongcayven9893 Yes, you're right, says it in the video description too, didn't notice that.

[@karenponchak5304]

I love how he does an arpeggio, then does the next inversion of it, goes back to the first, then the inversion again. (Basically he starts out (5)-1-3-5-8...etc. and then goes 1-3-5-8....etc. before heading back down to the starting pitch, then repeats )

[@blackdevildog6416]

As for the "audio engineering" bit on the high note, Eli and Omar are singing the exact same note, which in and of itself sounds unique and gives it that texture. I saw it mentioned elsewhere that Omar's voice was brought forward to be the more prominent voice at the climax of the high note. From what I've been able to gather, their voices weren't tailored much at all, just that Omar's voice was made prominent.

[@SandraJB321]

Peter, thank you for pointing out how technically difficult Geoff's arpeggios are from 2:54 to 3:09. He certainly mastered it and I am sure it took many hours of rehearsal. It is great to hear a musician such as you appreciating it as much as I do.

[@glorytoukraine5524]

You've become my hands down favorite reaction channel, along with the charismatic voice. The knowledge you bring to the table is just mesmerizing. Love your work!

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Geoffe's arpeggiated bass runs starting at 3:03 are amazing!

[@karenponchak5304]

I love that no one really paid enough attention to the fact that he did an arpeggio, did the next inversion of the arpeggio, then repeated the whole. That's hard enough to play, let alone sing.

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

Listen to that precision on Geoff's absolutely pitch-perfect arpeggios!!! As a vocalist myself I understand how difficult that can be! You have to have such great diaphragmatic support to keep it so in the center of the notes like that! It has been such a joy to watch and see the maturation and brilliance of this group as it grows!!!

[@maeco7]

Nerd comment alert: The language they were singing in is called Dovahzul, or the dragon language. It was made up by Jeremy Soule (the soundtrack composer) for the Elder Scrolls games.

[@shanebell9017]

Yeah Jeremy went home and came up with the dragon language overnight.

[@kratosGOW]

He sneezed out a completely foreign language that’s completely consistent with English overnight! That’s- uh… that’s something!

[@TrineDaely]

IIRC there's actually a lot of Eastern Slavic sounds in it.

[@trx_random5711]

For the strange sound i think is beatbox with the microphone outside the throat on his neck. Check tom thum TedX speech where he does a muffeled sound so beautiful. Its surely produce but not that much. Keep up the great work 💪

[@benjibrackbill5671]

That’s kinda what I was thinking too

[@marshayoung9387]

Layne the beat boxer did this live & it sounded exactly like it. Not produced, that's how good Layne is.

[@shilohauraable]

My son works for the Sky Rim game company! He just passed auditions to be on the next version soundtrack! He's so excited! 🤗

[@blazehawk8003]

Well congrats I can't wait to hear it

[@foxandscout]

That’s delightful for him and you. Congratulations!

[@kratosGOW]

They’re going to remaster the soundtrack for the PS5/Xbox seriesS/X generation? Cool!

[@kandacek63]

That is so cool!

[@manutdfan1804]

That high part when you say Eli gets produced, I believe that is Omar. Eli drops out and he takes over. Its great to listen to your analysis, I pick up more than I do when listening to it myself.

[@thunderpriest7418]

In the original video, it is easier to see that the part in question is being sung by both Eli and Omar. That is why it sounds like it has a different timbre and was engineered. You are hearing the notes doubled, and not exactly identical. The blend sounds wonderful.

[@samthibert6527]

23:07 thats omar that does the E5, thats why it sounds different

[@christinestromberg4057]

Geoff is often the bass guitar in many videos, and it's always so accurate, sometimes he ican be seen doing the fingering at the same time. Skills. Reactors who know the game are very impressed by this, as it combines the song from the game with the theme music of the game. Plus that they are singing in Dovahzuul and including the Fus Ro Dah, That really tickles enthusiasts. Interesting note: that chainmail shirt on Cesar weighs 20 lbs. He had to keep lying down on the floor between shots as it hurt his shoulders so much. That's dedication.

[@heathervona7883]

Poor Cesar.....But I agree with you, that is true dedication to the craft.....

[@roxannekabotsky2997]

Can you imagine actually fighting in a battle in chain mail? Those knights must have been beasts.

[@Bass_attack7755]

That high "odd pitch" was the blending of both Eli and Omar.

It sounded like to me, the decided to fully synthesize that particular part

[@kathisea2605]

That sound you heard was my squeal of delight. I was hoping you'd do one for this song! I love when VoicePlay goes full out with the costuming/settings for their songs, and this one's one of their best. And I *love* your new tattoo! Anduril (fka Narsil, the Sword That was Broken), Aragorn's sword from Lord of the Rings, and the answer to the question "What do we say to the god of Death?" in Game of Thrones (And in the GoT font. Extra cool points. :) ) Well met, fellow fantasy fan!

[@AnthonyRodriguez-zm4rc]

In-Game of Thrones - the swordmaster Syrio Forel was teaching Arya Stark the sword. Not Today is a saying by Syrio Forel to tell death when it comes.

[@b.buster.]

That shift is Omar joining Eli in that.

[@daventunes3822]

Omar's talent apparently runs in the family. His brother is E.J. Cardona, one of the great tenors of Voctave. Omar has done 2 other videos with Voiceplay, I believe, and E.J. has done one with them.

[@joyfulyes]

E. J. has now done at least 2 covers with VoicePlay. Go the Distance from Hercules, and I Can't Make You Love Me.

[@Broomrider1492]

I think my favorite part is the special effect with the Dragon shout FUS RO DAH! They pay attention to all the small details with the costumes, props. Like Layne sharpening his sword with a stone. Cesar with his 20 lbs of chainmail and gauntlets. The whole package. Omar is in their Carry On Wayward Son and SuperStition videos.

[@tararocksong5085]

Fun fact, the chainmail and gauntlets were so heavy that Cesar had to lay down between takes.

[@nicholeskelly3729]

I love when a song is so good it allows you to nerd out, both musically and analytically. Lol. Haven't seen you pull out the stank face much Peter. 😂😂😂 Even though you didn't sail on the Skyrim boat, you clearly love Lord of the Rings. Which for me beats out everything in fantasy. 💚💚💚

[@DravenGal]

Have you seen The Hillywood Show’s LOTR/Hobbit parodies?

[@C3RNDOG]

SOOOOO Happy you reacted to this as quick as you did. As soon as I heard it upon release my first thought was that you HAD to react to it. Such a great recreation, of course they absolutely nailed it, and you're analysis is spot on! Keep it up bro!

[@bjspeck4337]

They invented the language for the game. The warriors that slay a dragon, gain the dragon's soul and can use some of the traits. The smoke exhalation is one.

[@agentcorba]

Just in case you havent seen other comments about it but the "tonality change of Eli" was not actual Eli. It was just Omar hitting that E5 thats why it sounded different because it was different person and not Eli :D

[@squiresam]

To me it sounded like both of them were there.

[@robertofiend1264]

In the preview version, both Eli and Omar were singing it. Don’t know why they removed Eli singing it.

[@artchic1984]

I had LITERALLY just watched their video before seeing your reaction analysis of it so this is perfect. This was an absolutely wonderful piece. I love hearing songs like this as u really hear how good they are with sounds not only singing. It's fantastic. Smooth and soothing, I really can't say enough how great this is.

[@cclawson8013]

I would encourage you to listen to Voiceplay with Omar Cordona sing “Carry On Wayward Son”. It is one of my favorites! Such a classic rock song and they do such a fantastic job with it. It is arranged by Layne and Eli.

[@shadowlynx1958]

Just a note on a comparison you made to "Lord of the Rings": All of the non "human" languages in the books (and movies) were created by JRR Tolkien himself. He created them as complete languages with pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.

"Not today" - Arya Stark quote from Game Of Thrones...sword, Anduril, Aragon's sword from The Lord Of The Rings...nice ink, Peter.

Probably already answered some time past, the tattoo is GoT, "There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today'," Syrio Forel said to Arya during her training. Also in slaying the Night King.... and countless memes across the interdragonet.

[@DaisyGray74]

Oh sweet! Didn’t expect to see this one so fast! Aaaaaaaawesome. I knew you’d dig that opening note. Lol. They really do an epic job with this one. All of their interpretations are so well thought out and produced. I just love them. Great reaction!

[@NathanJ-E]

Hey Peter, that part where you noticed the tambre shift, thats because on that high note it's actually Omar, Eli does the buildup then Omar takes the cake, at least I think so. Great reaction!

[@annegasko7719]

Omar also sings with them on ‘Carry on my wayward son’, and you get to hear his voice and variety a lot more. It’s one of their older and less ‘theatrical’ covers but it’s a wonderful interpretation with some fun ‘Geoff being a bass guitar’ moments.

[@calebbonebrake6486]

"And what do we say to the god of Death? Not today." And I believe that's Anduril, is it not? Love the tattoo!!!

[@eleonorawitzky5832]

In regards to the time, part of it is that this is actually a combination of two songs from the game. The English portions at the beginning and end are "The Dragonborn Comes", one of the songs performed by bards in game. The central segment is "Dovahkiin", the games main theme

[@WilBgames]

The reason it's longer is because it's actually two songs. The dragon-language stuff in the middle is a separate song that plays on the game's title screen.

[@Maerahn]

Your tattoo is of Needle, Arya Stark's sword, with the defiant quote from Arya's swordmaster teacher about dying - "Not today." 😊 I like the detail you went into with this cover - and can only imagine how much more you'd have added if you also had knowledge of the Elder Scrolls/Skyrim game world this is a tribute to. It's been huge fun watching reactors who are also true Skyrim nerds completely squeeing out to the references within the song - big, strapping men practically bouncing up and down with glee in their chairs will never get old!

[@johannesberg4055]

Hmm.. the qoute is right👍🏻 But I think the sword is Narsil from LOTR, at least the pommel looks just like it☺️

You should check out some of Malukah's Skyrim content. Her fans loved her Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online covers so much that they successfully petitioned Bethesda to have her made a Bard in Elder Scrolls Online! ( Her covers are very Bard-like. She even recently had a Mandolin specially crafted to do her music. She recently did a remake for the Skyrim Anniversary) Peter Hollens also does several of Skyrim's songs with her and solo. His solo cover of this is beautiful. His cover of the Skyrim theme with violinist Lindsey Sterling is epic.

[@Shiva182Katarina]

Skyrim is very much still alive due to the mod community and they basically just released an anniversary edition last November since the game turned 10 years old. They have taken two songs and mixed them together, all the melodic parts with the dragon language is from a different song called Dragonborn, which is the main theme. Listen to that one, that one is a banger! The dragonborn comes is a tavern song sung acapella in the games

[@shadowdragon714]

A month late on this analysis, but what they did to extend the music was combine two songs from skyrim. The 1st and 3rd parts of the song (english) was Dragon Born Comes which is a song you can hear in taverns in the game. The Dovazhul part is actually the games MAIN title screen music: Dovakhin. Dovahkin is a 3ish min song normally, but they only took the main part of it and added it to the 1st song. If you ever decided to check out the music in the game, i would recommend listening to Dovakhin.

[@defjosh]

Loved this reaction, im a fan of your channel, voiceplay and Skyrim. So you know bro, the song is in Dovahzul or Dragon Voice according to the game. Keep up the good work.

[@melindahancock8518]

I think Peter Hollens does a Skyrim cover also. You might want to hear that one. He does more of the war chants. That breathe sound you keep thinking to me sounds like a long held oval exhale amplified. Lots of fun once again!

[@mamiemartinson4649]

I heard that the deep voice is symbolic of someone who is "Dragonborn" as they speak with the deep voice of a dragon.

[@craigcook1350]

Amazing reaction and analysis, as always! I may be entirely wrong, but when Eli’s voice “shifts” at the climax, I assumed when first listening that Omar actually took over that note. It sounds more like his voice and tone (hence why it suddenly sounds so different), but I’m admittedly ignorant on most of the technical aspects. So again, I’m probably wrong, but just a thought.

[@emilyaz2997]

I also thought it was a switch from Eli to Omar cause it sounds more like Omar's tambre, and during the premier VP told the chat that Omars high note was coming.

[@niclasnightflame]

Thank you for sharing your reaction and impressions. This version is truly amazing and I can't stop listening to it being astonished by their arrangement. Regarding your points you mentioned about languages in Skyrim and also Tolkien's Lord of the rings: First, the language sung here is called the dragons' language and it's based on Norse language. Even their letters are based on an ancient rune system. Second, Tolkien didn't create the languages "out of nothing". As a professor in Linguistics he knew everything about humankind's ways and habbits in language building. He was very much inspired by Old English, Old Norse and other forms of Skandinavian languages so he collected all of his language science based knowledge and united phonemes/morphemes and letters, some in their original form, some changed based on certain grammatical functions. The same the developers of Skyrim did. It's not magic, it's just science and being inspired.

[@nitrospidergaming7394]

The language that is from Skyrim of called Dovahzul. The name literally translates to dragon voice.

[@digimook]

The language ( as I'm sure others have pointed out) is the language of the dragons in Skyrim. They are words of power and when dragons fight, they basically shout at their opponent. "Fus RO Dah" is a Shout of unrelenting force, meant to knock, cripple or disable an opponent off their feet. As both a gaming geek and past cathedral choir bass( Always dreaded Easter and Handel's Messiah after the first service my voice was done., and knowing one more service to go though I did love Air for Bass-I just ran out by the end, was that Handel being ironic?) I totally appreciate the analysis from a musical perspective.

[@michaelcooper5677]

Actually there are two different songs "Dovakin" which is the game intro and heard sung in the Dragon Language and second "the Dragonborn Comes" which is sung in taverns throughout the game. It is the second that receives most covers and many are quite good. There may be other covers where both are sung but I have not heard them. That might explain the time difference you noted. It is a great version of both songs. You were spot -on with your comments about bass range. When I was in choir I was referred to as a bass except by the true basses :) I was actually a baritone but they never had enough basses so while I could not reach the lower parts of the range for most songs that we sang my range was sufficient. Good review I enjoyed it.
