[@roosiniimiamiciii6666]

I cannot help but agree

[@Tryst46]

The only thing I woud point out is the line is "never say we die" and not "never shall we die". The Chinese sailor in Singapore in the movie speaks the line as Emma Swan gets out of the boat, then mentions tht it is a dangerous song to be singing. Old sailors never die, they merely retire to Fiddlers Green. Apart from that, the song is the best one Voiceplay has done so far. Keep going guys, we love it, you never fail to go one better every time you do a new song.

[@maeco7]

@@Tryst46 The official lyrics actually say "never shall we die", though!

[@Tryst46]

@@maeco7 It could be a mistake that the editors of the movie missed then. I would think that using the word "say" sounds more likely, pirates would never have regarded themselves as thieves or beggars. Also, as I said above, they never die, they simply retire to Fiddlers Green, the sailors idea of heaven. A place where the fiddle never stops, the dancers never tire and the Rum and Tobacco never run out.

[@Chevytech1977]

Agreed! "Getting carried away" is the best! It makes worth watching over and over. " Getting carried away" gives me the goose bumps everytime!

Underrated comment

[@Waterlily6519]

Amazing description. I totally agree, but also based on some of his facial expressions; I'd say Cesar is also starting to go slightly crazy, like the rest of the crew. He looks traumatized, but also like he is being "manipulated" into more "pirate manner". If that makes sense.

[@karenfabian4950]

Totaly.

[@bigezdrums62]

@@Waterlily6519 the shackle/tamborine is especially poignant. When Layne starts beatboxing and his eyes go wide, he gets this skeletal look that makes you wonder..is this guy beatboxing from the grave? Eli looks straight up treacherous. and Geoff....what can we say...I get dizzy when he hits F1, like my blood pressure dropped. These guys are all Superhuman, aliens amongst us.

[@juliemonarch7364]

I cannot recall any version better than this. This is Musical History. Half is knowing.

[@iambher]

3:02 Geoff sliding up caught me off guard. Thought that was Jose at first. And then at 3:07 he goes subharmonic. Insane how he can go up and then all the way back down that quickly.

[@angiewoollard704]

Can we just talk for a minute about that amazing scene transition with Layne’s cutlass?? It’s that level of attention to detail that blows me away. Other cool details that captivated me: -the flick of the head with the vocal percussive “HEY” -everyone subtlety swaying for a few measures -lighting that looks like lightning -everyone taking a turn spiking the camera, which was very effective at evoking emotion in me and connection and drawing me in -VP brands on hands/arms Now the musical stuff. Eli’s powerhouse gritty vocals literally blow me back in my seat. Just when you think you’ve seen everything Eli has to offer…he offers more. Geoff’s two-octave jump UP rather than down was an incredible surprise (3:02) and although the subharmonics are fantastic and just what the song needs, that C2 on “shall” gives me shivers each and every time (1:00, 2:59). Cesar’s intensity and grit (2:57) show his great versatility (for a great example, contrast his texture and timbre and demeanour in “Butter” compared to this song. WOW.) Geoff, I think this is one of the most impressive arrangements you have ever done. You have an uncanny ability to take us on amazing emotional journeys with your re-inventions and I will forever be in awe of your arranging talent.

[@sarahereach]

I've spent the last hour trying to add something intelligent to the conversation but you beat me to it! One addition, extra kudos to Eli for his contribution to the lighting design, absolutely amazing! I also deeply enjoy Geoff's arrangements and the sheer volume of talent the whole team brings!

This could have been a complete bass showcase (and I think a lot of people were expecting that, considering all the bass-heavy covers out there), and I'm sure it still would have been amazing like that, but instead this was an absolutely perfect group piece. Everything came together in a beautiful mix of outstanding vocals, acting and excellent production. I really can't get over this one. You guys are amazing.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

and that is the point imho because if let's say this was sung by a small sailor group as a choir in the well known tradition of such groups they would have plenty higher piched lads on it as well and not just the bass and baritones. and arrangement would have made use of them the way this amazingly does

[@revelationgirlstuff]

I totally agree! I adore Geoff's bass, but wow! Eli's high notes, hey -= they're just great together. This is a perfect group. Layne, fantastic. But yes, I still keep coming back to Geoff. He blows my mind!

[@PapaBear_Gaming]

Honestly I was expecting a lower focus, also for them to somewhat stick to the intent/feel of the song and go for the constant motion constant rolling, etc feel to the original... I... honestly I actually didn't even just 'like' this one, it's actually the first one of theirs that isn't good in my opinion. Obviously just an opinion, but I was hoping for more, and less of the soloist stuff, less of the look at my jazzy style!... just meh overall I guess, maybe I'll come back in a few months and give the video a like, for now it's neither good nor bad.

[@Kyber_Star]

When Geoff sings on his own, he sings low, but when others pop in, he just drops!

[@Aurora-cv5to]

WOW! Cesar TOTALLY held his own here! So great to see that he can match the exceptional strength of the others when he's not able to do it with high spirits, energy and a smile. It's such a high bar: Eli, Layne and Geoff each have such an intense level of crazy here, and each is so different. Yet Cesar matches them - no one is able to steal the stage from the others because their strengths are so evenly matched. Well DONE! (Don't get me wrong, I love Cesar's other performances, but this one was a whole different style).

[@timvanderburg6039]

Of the five, Cesar's character strikes me as the most tragic, as it seems he's aware of the innocence and the beauty he's lost; Jose and Goeff are in full-blown pirate mode; Eli is crazy manic, and Layne is just crazy ("Don't step on my shadow...").

You guys fill space like nothing I've heard since Pentatonix was original. Maybe even better. The voices you guys have are so much more ... I don't know ... full and round? I have had a love for acapella my whole life, especially after I heard the Vocal Majority at my high school live my senior year. Our drama teacher had connections. About 15 years later, I found out that my Uncle Buddy sang with the Vocal Majority and I couldn't believe it!! I've known him my whole life, my favorite Uncle and Aunt ever, and never knew he could sing. Traveled to Seattle to see him sing just after I moved to Oregon. I think it was 1998 or 99. One of the best evenings of my life ... and the last time I saw my Uncle Buddy before he passed of a heart attack about 5 years later. I will treasure that evening in Seattle listening to him sing, sitting by my favorite Aunt ever. It was literally one of the most joyous evenings of my life.

[@jabbazabba23]

I know nothing about the technical side of music. Heck, I know nothing about the layman’s side of music. But I know without question, this ignited an unknown soul fire in me. I’m stirred; for aCapella and specifically Voiceplay. Please never stop creating gents.

[@frederickaltar2953]

What did I just watch. . . . . The trio singer (Eli, Jose, Cesar) kills the melody, that smooth blend when they sung together was just so mesmerizing. Ofcourse, who could forget about Geoff doing stuff that are very confusing on how he does it, he sounds very atmospheric which is as a bass because you don't want singing low that the sound will not surrounds the space around you, making it hard to hear. And lastly, Layne, I still don't know how he manages to keep the flow going because its hard as the percussion to make this compliment without overpowering someone, but still he got it very precise. This is why I love VoicePlay so much😊😊😊

[@Xonslaught1]

Cesar freaking me out with that dead eye, Eli killing me with those vocals, Geoff burying everyone in those low tones, Layne destroying those beats, and Jose slicing the air with his sword and great beard. Love it

[@gary6671]

Cesar’s voice is golden. Perfect blend of high and lower notes. Perfect Baritone! The rest Eli, Layne, Geoff, and Jose are FANTASTIC. Loved the performance!

[@tracyl8]

I just stared speechless at the screen when this ended...I'd expected something cool but this hit me right in the gut! @VoicePlay - Seriously, guys, did you steal Jack's 'take me to what I want most' compass and follow it to some 'unearthly vocal talent' chest in a cave, or what? You're all INSANELY talented- but gotta say, jeez, Eli.... I'm not sure you're even human anymore, and Cesar... you've well and truly made your mark! A gazillion pieces of eight to you all.

[@pattiearehart118]

The pirate makeup is great! The song, singing and creativeness is outstanding! I posted to FB! Loved it!

[@aussiebloke609]

Eli absolutely kills it! There's power in that voice we don't get to see too often, and the expression on his face...it's like an evil grin, serious, even desperate... and smiling with too many teeth while belting out what's effectively a dirge.

[@nanakoranteng120]

[@elizabethchard7872]

*Me listening to the original of this song recently*: man it would be cool if VoicePlay did a cover of this! *VoicePlay*: hold our rum 🏴‍☠️ Seriously, this was an amazing cover of Hoist The Colours! Definitely my favourite arrangement of that song and every single one of you nailed it! Also, I felt like Cesar and Jose were staring into my soul every time they looked into the camera 😅

Honestly I was listening to some other recent covers and was kinda wishing Geoff would do a cover of his own. And then Voiceplay drops this bomb, or should I say, cannonball.

[@SandraJB321]

I am stunned by each Voiceplay member in this one...from the high vocals of Eli, to Geoff reaching to the depths with his bass, to Cesar with the melody and harmonization, to Layne`s beatboxing...but that look that Jose flashes at 2:15 absolutely slays me!! WOW!!

[@JhojoGaming]

damn the bass is really on fire...

[@severage8790]

First of all, I've listened to this about 10 times now and I still hear something new each time. This is such a beautifully complex arrangement, Geoff really out-did himself putting this together. I love how different it is from many other renditions of this song, some of the key shifts are *chef's kiss*. But secondly, I love how the production came together. Jose gives off the captain vibe standing in the middle, Cesar's outfit/makeup is AWESOME and you can see him being a first mate. Geoff is like the intimidating rower. Layne and Eli look like straight baddies on their last stretch of sanity. I have to say I really enjoyed Cesar's performance in this one, the camera shots of him were so appropriate, the stoic performance with such a haunting tune is just perfect. Okay, I'm done gushing.

[@MsGreek2011]

Best version yet!!!!! From a singing perspective as well as a production. It keeps you captivated!!!!! Loved the different parts and keeping up with all the eargasm I was getting!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@catswillruletheworld]

This song is the one that clued me in to Caesar's range and talent. Absolutely amazing addition to the group! Also this is irrelevant to the song, but I love watching for the little physical quirks. Geoff and Eli use their hands a lot; Geoff seems to raise and lower his right hand as his voice raises or lowers, and Eli's hands curl into claws (that's how I think of 'em, anyway) the higher he belts, like the support for his high notes comes from his hands. I haven't found anything specific to Layne or Caesar yet. Layne's whole body seems to move to whatever beat he's doing, and it's different song to song. I'll have to rewatch to see if I can spot anything consistent.
