I Needed to Hear This | Pentatonix - Love Me When I Don't |

[@richzip]

Thanks for taking my request -- great reaction (as usual)! I think it's refreshing that such a great message is packaged into such a catchy tune! You noted how you loved Mitch's regular singing voice - I think you'll love their rendition of "Amazing Grace". As much as I love Mitch's high notes, his lower register in that song just makes me melt. Plus, EVERYONE shines in that song (plus a "Kevin slap")

[@nickforell1]

Thank you Rich. His regular voice is truly something else

[@richzip]

@@nickforell1 I read somewhere that, during one of the group's first interviews, Kirstie made some sort of comment where she was glad that more people could now hear Mitch sing. But, of course, they are all amazing!

[@jimmiemurvin1871]

And this song highlights how tight they always are, without fail. Remarkable!

[@lorriredmon8212]

Be My Eyes is another Kirsten written song that really goes right along with this one. Please add that one to your list. Another super catchy tune! Great reaction to a most excellent song!

[@maryhampton8686]

I agree. One of my favorites

[@stevegiandrone]

Another one you may want to check out that features Kirsten is Be My Eyes.

[@patriciashaw6791]

I played this for my daughter and had to turn it off after the second verse because she started to cry and broke down. Her past includes an abusive relationship, a near deadly disease with long lasting effects and PTSD from an accident. She said that this describes her perfectly and she just started a new caring relationship. (she has been able to restart counseling). I love this but cry as well.

[@timcaldwell5241]

Such a light and catchy tune with such a heavy message! PTX did it again…made us think!!! Nick you are such a joy to us all…so empathetic and spot on with your reactions. AND, Mitchell…what a gem…I think he is at his very best when he’s just singing in that beautiful voice!!!

[@Gwennedd]

Thanks for this reaction, Nick! Kirstie always has a great grip on relationships and the issues/problems one finds within close ones. She a really good songwriter but knows to use the help of a professional songwriter to help her perfect her pieces. All of them are great songwriters and often help each other out, Kevin especially. There's a lot of solo work to explore with these guys. Mitch has one ep, Roses, and several impressive singles out under his alter-persona, Messer. Scott has an ep out...Parallel, which is full of great tunes. Kirstie has an ep out, Love. Kevin has his own YT channel, KO ( Kevin Olusola) where he loops cello, keyboard, beatboxing and singing. Matt plays drums and has a great singing voice, but so far hasn't dropped any solo pieces yet.

[@maryhampton8686]

This song should be more popular than it is. You are right-incredible song.

[@christianleatherman7532]

This is one of my all time favorite songs by PTX! It keeps my head above water on the bad days. I'm glad you enjoy it!

[@kristipierce4735]

Popspring 2016!! 3 originals (Kirsten’s lead “Water” is gorgeous) and Evolution of Michael Jackson. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I didn’t check playlists so sorry if you’ve done it already). Agreed that Mitch’s voice is addictive 🤯😍. You need to listen to Messer (Mitch’s solo project). I recommend Angels Pray, Love Supply, and any of his 4 newest (Agony, Oblivion, Velvet, Halfway). PTX members are all incredible lyricists.

[@kristipierce4735]

Kirstin not Kirsten 😖aargh!

[@jcs1025]

Lots more recent live performance that are a better representation of their current sound and vocal maturity. Anything from the Hollywood Bowl 2022 live stream.

[@kristipierce4735]

@@jcs1025 100% agree that the Hollywood Bowl is stellar!! I just love hearing Kirstie doing Water, and, of course, Mitch in Can’t Sleep Love is iconic.

[@finnsmom773]

All of their originals are full of great messages!

[@sandrawalkerhaliburton1884]

Thank you. We all have to be there

[@bethphillips9693]

This is a terrific original with a great message! I miss my late husband's hugs more than anything.

[@pjb3583]

Kirstin is a mighty fine songwriter. Check out Be My Eyes and Water for more from her. Loved your reaction, as always! Peace …

[@ruth2141]

All PTX members write songs for the group, but Kirstie is contributing more and more. She co-wrote 6 of the 11 songs for the 2021 The Lucky Ones album, including this.

[@ChuckThomas-ze4qk]

This was a great reaction The song is so great with the message. I really needed to hear this one. I thank you for all your reactions. And I have to agree Mitch is sounding very good. I love this tone of his voice just as much as his higher range.

[@ruth2141]

FYI -- this is not the studio version but a "Covid live" video done for one of the TV talk shows (Kimmel?). You can tell the live versions because Scott throws in extra riffs. They did a "real" live version in their 2022 Hollywood Bowl concert.

[@mlroeder]

I think it was Kelly Clarkson's show...

[@annmariemitchell2532]

I couldn’t agree with you more about mental health. I have lived with PTSD for nearly 41 years with my husband. He was injured during the Falklands war at the age of 21 and was and still is a completely different person. I have known him for 51 years married for 41 so I know the before and after. I sometimes feel surrounded with people who’s world to them is collapsing and I’m there for them all. I never felt I needed help for me 🤦🏼‍♀️ until I lost my mum and I fell apart. This was 5 years ago and I’m still not there wherever I’m supposed to be. I still feel I’m the lucky 1 as I have 8 grandsons and 3 granddaughters who are all within shouting distance from me. Stay safe everyone and please please talk to someone if you need help there is always someone who will listen and can help guide you. X

[@joannwilderman8921]

BE MY EYES my daughters favorite

[@karehelene]

You should check out Mitch's catalog as "Messer" since you like his normal voice. The videos (I think) are kind of weird, but that voice! One of my favorites is Oblivion.

[@kerytanis4303]

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR NEWEST VERSION OF O HOLY NIGHT,YOU HAVE SEEN NOTHING AT ALL. THEY SURPASSED THEMSELVES WITH IT.YOUR FUN FROM GREECE. ❤❤❤😅😅😊

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their original of Happy Now.

[@KarenSchulz-t6o]

Beautiful❤

[@Fairplayer43]

I saw this video the other day and today I was scrolling down the thumbnails and saw your sad face again. I have to say this: your face was not made to hold that sad stare. I understand is a sad song. I also have been in this situation when I am not too happy with myself, but always someone manages to flip back my self esteem. Or with time and patience and being gentle with myself I reach some type or normalcy. Is always going to be fine in the end. How would we understand what happiness is without the sadness. They go hand in hand. Anyway, I enjoy your authentic reaction even though it broke my heart. Thanks! ❤ I wish for you joy! "The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal." C.S. Lewis

[@johnhelwig8745]

Hey Nick, thanks for today's reactions. Love PTX. Not sure if I should make a recommendation here or on Patreon, but Voiceplay recently released their new version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". It is a fun video. Oh, new version not the version they released 20 years ago.

[@paulmason6474]

Angelina is having a concert in Las Vegas 29/2. Tickets go on sale tomorrow 10.00 am❤❤

[@glenlubowicz6685]

Hey Nick❤

[@LottieOfWales]

❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@simsweechuah9753]

You should react to the new version of O Holy Night and Pure Imagination/Christmas Time is Here to see how they have improved even more this past year

[@theresadeuschle8500]

I would love to see Nick do back to back Oh Holy Night; the first when they were just starting out and Avi was with them and then the newer version. It's such a great example of how far they've come.

[@jamiem4941]

Great lyrics aren’t they? It is definitely catchy.

[@nickforell1]

So catchy! =)

[@marcgarrett4401]

This whole album was about mental health.
