[@monsieurpickles9230]

I feel so bad for Peter. He did such an amazing job in this song, but everyone is gushing over Avi. Avi is an amazing singer and a wonderful, rich bass. But let's not forget Peter can sing tenor and his voice is clean like a bell. They both killed it in this song.

[@heavenbound32566]

Monsieur Pickles Yes indeed, Peter is amazing ... but Avi steals the glory of this song.

[@Wolpher]

Your Hollens apologist

[@fangdire9614]

Monsieur Pickles Peter is banging and can sing like an angel

[@thesovietscam2581]

True plus in misty mountains the regular version by peter he hit some very low bass notes

[@emilycassidy7619]

I think it's mainly cause the last time he worked with a tenor (pentatonix) Avi was more underated lol

[@the-kris5554]

I love when Avi goes from really high pitch, to the lowest point, that voice range

[@emeliakate8719]

I love that Avi has two different ponytails going on

[@angelnichols5408]

This song is basically a hot shower for the soul. Coffee in the early morning. Clean sheets for mid-summer nap. These two singing this song is the epitome of soothing.

[@mirunacristianapaun1296]

OMG yes, exactly

[@NikoPorter]

One of the things that makes Avi so incredible is that he’s got such a smooth sounding voice AND he’s a bass. Usually basses have rougher and bigger voices (which isn’t necessarily bad) but Avi has this sweetness and relaxed sound to him that makes him so great to listen to

[@zain4019]

Niko Porter YES EXACTLY. I personally don’t like the sound of the regular bass voice, but Avis is so gentle and soothing as well as low and deep. It’s perfect :)

[@sarahkleimeyer3792]

His voice is like expensive chocolate!

[@jowolf2187]

That's partly because a lot of the guys who people think are basses are actually baritones - and it's kinda pushing it for us to get our voices that low so it gets that kind of breathy, growl-esque tone to it (it happens to me and most of the other guys I know who try to go lower than we are technically able to). There's also a darker harsher tone present in the lower range period, so it's just naturally present when guys who have that really low range. I have to assume that Avi is classically trained, because he can hit notes a lot higher than many basses (and that only comes with training and years of practice) and he has learned to smooth out that natural grit that other basses tend to embrace (for example Tim Foust legit sounds like a cross between thunder and a wolf's growl).

[@liambreen7892]

Jo Wolf Avi is classically trained and also majored in opera in college. I think one thing that helps him have such smooth, relaxed low notes is the fact his talking voice is very low as well, so the notes are comfortable

[@meuboui]

Why do you look like Rick Astley ?????

Avi needs a solo career. Holy crap I could listen to his voice forever.

[@mrfluff1014]

He doesn't need a solo career, he is in pentatonix. Although he is talented enough to be a solo artist.

[@darthy0da]

MrFluff101 But I want to listen to him sing entire songs on his own. I love him in Pentatonix, but I'd love to hear a whole album of just him.

[@hoshihu]

***** Well he was talking about making a solo album, so there's a chance we can listen to him soon! ;)

[@221b-Maker-Street]

I think a solo album may well be on the way perhaps this year... He's hinted at it a few times on twitter... I love to hear him sing in PTX, but likewise, would appreciate a solo/collaborative album from Avi. In the words of the Wicked Witch, "I'm melting..." [but in a good way ;o)]

[@hoshihu]

Helen Ayres I've just listened to this song again and I could really imagine Avi doing solo songs like Peter. His voice is gorgeous, especially when multiplied! :D

[@graciebeauregard8345]

Avi's voice is so wonderful and rich

[@Eraneth]

Hi Peter, I don't know if you'll ever see this comment, but I just want to say that this cover has changed my life. Ever since I moved from my home of 12 years, I've felt empty and out of place. Every time I listen to this, I feel secure. This is my go to song if I'm ever having a bad day or even just wanting to listen to the beautiful harmonies. Thank you for everything you do and thank you Avi for joining Peter.

@@leaarinwarkentine I’m not sure why I used that particular wording. So many months ago. I find that the extra harmonies etc they’ve added actually make the song disjointed and it doesn’t flow as well. Not to mention, they changed up two specific areas near the beginning verses , basically rendering their potential awesomeness as now Void. And they don’t do well about bringing out the emotional aspect of it at all. I much prefer David Larsen and David Kahn’s version.

I was especially impressed by Avi, so found this video through searching for more stuff by him - now I discovered Peter Hollens. What a great pairing, this duet. :) What I particularly like about Avi is that even though he's most famous for his lower range, when he sings in his mid to higher range, he has a really, really beautiful tone.

No I use to wish the same thing put then I put years and years of practice (about 4) into deepening my voice. and while I don't have as much timbre or (for lack of a better word) sexiness I can hit all of the notes in his range

[@iansutton2218]

I a teenage guy, and my voice is done changing, but it's not done developing yet, so I sometimes get some pretty hilarious cracks out of it still. My lowest note that I've ever hit was an A flat 2 i believe, which is the second A from the left on a piano. Scratch that (This edit made quite a bit later) it's an F# 1. Whoo hoo

Of course, Avi is one of the best bass-singers i ever heard, and Peter doesn't hit as low notes as him, but still, Peter is incredibly good. There will always be someone who is better than him, but if you look at his songs and remember that everything is sang by him, you see how much and in how many different directions he can sing.

This just popped up for me. Its always great to hear (and see) Avi.

[@boltfantasticated9705]

Avi's deep voice influenced how I sing. I tried to copy his voice during the video the first time I watched and I realized I sang A LOT better with a deep voice.

[@boltfantasticated9705]

Does not mean I am a good singer now though. :(

[@Baxocj]

i started out as a baritone with no way to get deep.... but my deeper voice sounds way better and feels more comfertable than my higher voice, so ive been training... LITERALLY TRAINING every day for like 1-2 hours to get deeper, so far ive made progress, i went from being able to hit a F with like total ease and have to work to get lower, Then down to a G and now i am able to go down to a E with ease. but still training... and when i say training, im talking like rocky style training lol.

[@Baxocj]

ive also hurt myself trying to train many times lol, from my voice, to my throat, to my chest itself. or even my vocal chords or lymph nodes.... but if my lymph nodes hurt, then thats a good thing, it means im making progress.

[@vsilverisisv]

your lypmh nodes have nothing to do with your voice. It's all about the thickness of your vocal cords and the amount of a particular type of testosterone that is released during puberty from your testes. That's why boys with good soprano ranges were castrated during the renaissance, to keep their voice from dropping in range. Training can help with lubrication to somewhat expand your range and in particular shorten the gap between head voice and chest voice, but unless you are naturally at least a second baratone, getting truly into the bass range is going to be extremely difficult.

[@Baxocj]

Jorie Von Ohlen well ive also been sick so that might be why my lymph nodes hurt lol, but ive been doing SO much practice (from military push ups to strength my chest and neck) to humming meditation, each night for an hour or 2, because....well. when it comes to choral things, i love the bass the most of all, like i have nothing against tenors/sopranos, or any of that, but i just love the bass.

[@GardinerSisters]

One of our favorites off the album! You're both AMAZING!

[@EvynneHollens]

LOVE THIS!

[@nikkibanning176]

Your husband is a true master of music! This is sheer perfection that evokes calm and uplifts your soul at the same time. You/we are so lucky.

[@rasenshuriken9076]

This was like a deep-tissue massage for my soul. Thank you so much for putting this into the world, Peter and Avi!

[@PeterHollens]

I'm so thrilled to hear that our version of this song resonated with you and provided some soulful relaxation. This means a lot to me and Avi! 😍

[@cintiamarques2637]

i love how the soft voice of Peter and the voice of Avi are SO GOOD together

[@cashamac3932]

Who else cried when they first heard this song? This is so beautiful. I am in love with Avi Kaplan!!

[@byeolbitch]

Done and done.

[@boskabouter65]

andre hazes

[@ZoesZoo]

Breathtaking. Avi's deep notes are laced with a haunting beauty. Please do more together someday!

[@manuelabenegiano4625]

when two legends cooperate this is the result. this video gave me chills

[@BlueAngel0751]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@MrWolverineToYou]

I love how Avi changed his hair for his different parts, that's attention to detail

[@VictorBorbaMusic]

Every once in a while I need to come back and listen to this masterpiece and admire the vocal arrangement

[@evydroog7970]

Guys please imagine Avi singing misty mountains from the hobbit 🌄

[@ceciliahahn2487]

he sang it several times, though not complete. Just look in youtube

[@MS-nz8ue]

Evy Droog he does part of it

[@Rich-gd4fc]

Peter did it with Tim Foust, who absolutely nailed it. Tim is easily the best A Capella bass I've ever heard, with a 5+ octave range.

[@neneg5092]

Evy Droog OMG that's the first thing i thought when i heard him hit that 1st low note

[@socalclippers1]

Him and Foust could've been awesome.

[@nevannarence6542]

wow. just wow. talk about a range like peter. both have an awesome range avi is just lower octaves great compliment

[@blackfiresacrifice]

Avi has such a wonderfully expressive face

[@brontelee6726]

Two of my favourite singers in one video. My life is complete.

[@jessegirlb]

I absolutely LOVE getting to hear Avi singing in this low register. Such a great arrangement to highlight him. Both of them are AMAZING. Such intricate harmonies and dissonance. These kinds of complex madrigal pieces are SO hard.

[@juanellobo283]

At the time, I had seen this video the first time when I was a teenager. I had my tablet, the dog next to me, and everything was so good. Now my mother has been dead for a year, I’m working, but I’m having a hard time smiling. My friends have all gone their way. When I see this video, it’s a lot of happiness that comes back all at once. Thank you

[@PanTheGu]

Omg omg omg yeeeesss! Never thought a colab like this would happen! Thank you Peter and thank you Avi!

[@PeterHollens]

Absolutely my pleasure!! Daniel Tomlin

[@helenachevallier128]

The Hollens and the Avi, When they are both full grown, Of all voices in the world, Their voices bear the crown O, the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir

[@MsMommaTigress]

If Avi Kaplan's voice doesn't make all the ladies I know sploosh.....I don't know what your problem is but damn. His voice is so MEZMERIZING!!!

[@JeanBrink1971]

I know, right!! 😱🔥🤤🤤🔥😍

[@alaynarangel4947]

I keep coming back to hear Avi
