Greta Van Fleet - Heat Above (Reaction - What A Voice!)

[@tadejau3325]

its disrespectful to interrupt the song ... only few commentators of music knows that i guess.

[@Yeedeed]

Hi Tadejau, thanks for your comment. I've addressed this a few times in my videos. I provide commentary and reactions to music. I don't make reaction videos to sit there and not say a word, which in my opinion is pointless, and i feel it is a waste of the viewer's time if i sit there with no actual input. The feedback to my reaction videos have been overwhelmingly positive, and if it was the opposite case, then yes I would make a change. If interested in listening to songs uninterrupted, I would suggest listening to the actual song itself on KZbin.

[@Yeedeed]

Additionally in regards to disrespecting the artist, I make no money from these videos, all ad and view revenue go to the artists. It is the opposite, my videos directly monetarily help the artists.

[@klpryor1]

Why do you keep telling these commentators this? This is a commentary. They have to break the song down to give their input. That’s why I’m here.

[@kylegraves8372]

Maybe you just go watch the video next time and not someone reacting to it? Yeedeed, keep doing what you’re doing.

[@CaptiveReefSystems]

You're free to watch the full (and uninterrupted) version of the song, freely on KZbin, at your leisure. 😄 You're watching a reactor's/reviewer's channel, Man... The commentary is kind of the point...

[@Carol-zp6jh]

Josh uses no backtracks or auto tune and has a vocal coach that must be amazing, because you can hear that Josh's voice gets better and better all the time! Your appreciation of the work he puts in to be able to sound like this on vids AND at live shows makes me smile, because you get just as excited about it as we do. LOVE your reaction vids. 😁

[@thememefactory8108]

Some auto tune is used on the recorded tracks and you can hear when you listen and compare to live versions of a few of their songs.

[@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973]

[@julesrebb9149]

I think this song is pretty much the musical version of their motto "Peace, Love and Unity". Also, the Peaceful Army mentioned in the song is us fans, I love how they make us feel envolved in all of this

I have seen GVF live twice. Both times I was on the rail right in front of the stage. I cried the whole concert the first time. I have no words to describe how it hit me.

[@Staboogie777]

[@TeeBagGee]

I know these are a year old but I've been binge watching your reactions to GVF. I've cried tears over their music. It gets inside you and grows roots and stays there. Your description of broken bells was spot on in the meaning, for me specifically. Thank you for these reactions.

[@marklambert4793]

I watched an opera coach’s reaction to his singing, and she was amazed at what Josh’s voice can do. And on top of that, their mom says that Jake can sing just like Josh.

[@4spbiz]

I went to a Greta concert about a month ago my niece bought me tickets. I'm not a fanboy of anybody's but I did tell her I was likely to get emotional because when I listened to their music it impacts me and I often cry tears of joy because it's so beautiful and amazing. I felt like I was bathed in rock and roll glory for 2 hours. Alongside a crowd of others who were basking in the joy of love and musical delight.

[@judyivie2215]

I love how you feel their vibe.

[@rimpelrampone4022]

"like walking into a perfectly temperatured shower" lmao :) Great analogy! heared the song first time today when driving home from hospital after my sons birth and cant stop listening to it... it just makes this day even greater than it already was. Like the perfect soundtrack to this amazing experience. have seen some reaction videos too, but yours is the one i leave a like and also a subscription. Thanks.

[@Yeedeed]

Hey man thank you for stopping in! Dude, that's so cool that this was the first song you heard after your son's birth, and congratulations by the way! Between this song and Switchfoot's Dare You to Move, it couldn't have been a more fitting song I don't think.

[@robbyrocksoo]

This is my new favorite song. Crazy talent in this band.

[@gavinv2356]

There is a live version of heat above you should totally watch!😁

[@deadchannel3274]

If you haven't taken a look at it yet, Age Of Man is one of the best studio tracks they've released so far. But there's one thing that Greta Van Fleet has put out that nobody, I think, has reacted to yet. And it is sorely overdue. Lover Leaver (Taker, Believer) Live In LA 2018. At almost 30 minutes long, it's a stellar performance and as far as I'm concerned a must-see for this band.

[@julesrebb9149]

Yes! This performance, or the one at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Encore

[@jenniferseppi5912]

Yes! That is awesome too! Totally agree!

Some people sing songs, and sometimes songs sing people. He's a pure talent.

[@Cajungirl71]

Omg, when I saw you were gonna watch that video I literally started laughing. Josh is one crazy cat, and I say that with love. Just keep watching videos and clips here and there and you’ll see what I mean. One of a kind, but ironically has an identical twin🤔

[@jacegrunden3543]

They are my favorite band!🤩 Loved that you got the feeling because they have been spreading the message of Peace, love and unity since they started🥰I love them so much💟The battle at Garden’s Gate is an excellent album🙌🏻

[@centaurwellness5458]

I can't express how this song make me feel...uplifted isn't strong enough

[@dylancole1910]

Yeah I love his newer stuff because he's choosing a different aspect of his voice to focus on. His range. While we had plenty of that in his earlier stuff, he's choosing to show it in these amazing little yodel runs that I'm obsessed with currently. Less use of the growl in these recent songs-which, don't get me wrong, I love an artist with an insane rock growl, but he's taken this sort of soft, uplifting indie nasal voice he's got ( which definitely reminds me of passenger) and given it a slight sparingly used rock punch, which is SO clever.

[@mm0901]

Beautiful and heartfelt reaction to an incredible song and a song we all need right now. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@blueberry5878]

As I'm writing this all Europe is watching Eurovision Song Contest and I'm binge watching your reactions to GVF😂 Check the live version of this song, there are two versions, he hits those notes every time.

[@theemarydee1610]

I love your reactions to GVF. I, as a young teen , when first hearing Rush sing ‘Trees’., I had goosebumps. I feel the same about this song , amazing music with amazing lyrics. I think we joined the peaceful army.

[@nicolebraden456]

Sorry, last comment I Promise,... in this song, which means A Lot to The Peaceful Army, is the lyrics "walking across the land is The Peaceful Army joining the Band, walking hand in hand to an Anthem sung where they stand" It's Our Gift. We LOVE It Too... ask Any of us. Lol. Josh put those lyrics in for US to Hear .... it also carries over from the last Album... "Anthem of the Peaceful Army"... you have to pay close attention cause they Are So Clever & Talented that know things before they even produce them. So many songs from AOTPA are from when Josh & Jake (the Identical twins) were 15/16 yrs old,,, Sam & Daniel were 13/14 yrs old. They are Amazing. They were born to lead people to Peace, Love & Unity ✌🏼🤍🌍🎶 and they are doing it One song, One album, One Tour at a Time... slowly building their Army. 😊😌

[@Yeedeed]

Hey Nicole, thanks for watching! You don't need to be sorry for commenting, comment as much as you like! While I am quit familiar with most of their music since starting to react to them, I don't know too much of their history, so thank you for the information! And uggh, I hope these earlier videos of mine aren't too bad.

There are clips of them singing this back in about 2016. They dusted it off and changed up the lyrics and made it epic.🤘 Please react to their performance of Edge of Darkness live in Toronto 2018.

[@silencioeprosa]

Josh learned how to sing like that back when they started, because they used to play in a garage and in order to make his voice heard he trained his vocal cords to surpass the noise of the ambient (instruments) there is an interview where they explained it 😊

[@nicolebraden456]

Hey there, me again... new follower, have been binging your reactions all night. Love watching someone else fall so lovingly into GVF open warm embrace of their music. It envelopes you like a favorite blanket or a really good hug, right?! I'm not sure if you know too much history of the guys, there is A Lot... too much to try to tell you in one response. I Absolutely love the fact that you caught onto the "dome" in the beginning of the video. Have you noticed that you are supposed to listen to the songs in order? They tell a story. This is a cinematic album, as Josh describes it (Jake says Orgasmic, lol) So if you listen to the album straight through you Will hear it. *also the "dome" is on the Cover of their last album AOTPA... crazy right?!? These guys are So Intuitive & Creative. Did you know "Heat Above" was written 5 yrs ago? Yeah, I know. "The Weight of Dreams" is a song they played on the past tour under the title "Black Flag Expedition"... you can see them perform it on the video from the Red Rocks concert... Jake, Jake, Jake... love that man. Sooo beyond talented. **also you were talking about Josh's voice... do you know when they started he had Never had a vocal lesson. His range went so high bcuz they practiced in their garage at home and the only way he could be loud enough so people to hear him, was to reach that range. Jake started playing as a child, never a lesson, self taught. He formed the band... Jake & Josh would grab Sam on the way into the house as he was coming home from school and would make him play bass for them. They had a different drummer then... but Daniel was always hanging around hoping he would get that chance & he Did (thank goodness 😉) They All play Multiple Instruments... did you know why Sam is on the organ he is playing bass with foot pedals.... It Is Amazing to watch. Just a bit of GVF history for you... you have probably heard some of it before. GVF's fan base is One of the Best... not just saying that bcuz I'm part of it, it's just true😊 You Have to See Them Live.... It is nothing short of a Spiritual Awakening of sorts. Going back to listen to the rest of your reaction to Heat Above... it is So Much Fun to watch you Discover how Truly Talented they are. They have worked Very Hard, they have went from riding in a small van with a U-Haul carrying the equipment hooked to the back... their manager drove them bcuz they were so young and from Such a Small Town. Josh explains it in the lyrics of "My Way, Soon" & "Tears of Rain". I hope you give AOTPA a chance... it is a Great Album, different, but still amazing. I could give you a list of my top 5 of the album, but I think you should listen and decide on your own. It's Nothing like TBAGG (I know, we laugh too) but it is a Fun rock n roll record. *did you know that Josh writes the lyrics After he hears the melody or when the full song is made... yup, right before he goes in to record his vocals he bangs out These lyrics. He is our Prophet & Poet & So in Tune with other Realms... it's genius to behold. ....1 more thing, the chanting in "Trip the Light Fantastic" is an Indian chant. A mix of Hinduism & Buddhism... Josh is Very Keen on All Spiritual planes. Sorry so long. 😊 ✌🏼🤍🌍🤝🏻🎶

[@ppuste2]

You keep interrupting the song to talk. You wrecked the reaction!

[@Yeedeed]

Sorry Paul, but I disagree with you. For my personal tastes, when I watch a reaction video, my primary desire is to see the reaction and commentary itself, listening to the song is the secondary desire. I personally believe any reactor who either talks over the entire song without stopping, or doesn't say a word until the song is over is taking the easy way out. I model my reaction style based on my favorite reactors (Key of Geebz, The Charismatic Voice, or Rebecca Vocal Athlete). Although I'm not as musically trained as they are, I think their format of pausing to provide the viewer an actual reaction and commentary is what the majority of people want to see. Based on the overwhelming positive feedback on my 540+ videos, I humbly would say most people agree, and that I'm on the right track.

[@CC-gr7gf]

It’s best if you let the song play and comment at the end. Constantly interrupting the video ruins it. Geez

[@Yeedeed]

I will never understand why someone watches a reaction and commentary video with this expectation. If you would like to hear the song without interruption, please watch the original video and support the band with a video view. When I began reacting to music, I emulated what I saw from all of my favorite reactors, who all do the same style of commentary. When I watch a reaction, I personally prefer to watch a reactor be actually engaged in a reaction, not taking the easy way out and only commenting at the end. I would respectfully dare to say the people who watch my videos share this same view, as the large majority of feedback on all of my videos since I started this channel have been positive.
