You said 4 people are singing. There are 5 people singing. Kevin is singing too. This one really hits you in the feels!

[@denisehart7104]

Yes, his voice is lovely.

[@stephaniekirby3073]

Yeah I was confused and sad that one was being left out. All five are so important to create such a masterpiece ❤️

[@ChibiChula]

I actually understand why he says four voices though. Mainly because Kevin isn't emphasized in the mix of this song. If you hear a live version they did of this song for some show (don't remember what show it was though) where the mic balance was more equal for all of them, you'll notice a huge difference immediately and I actually prefer that version because you really hear Kevin. Secondly, Kevin is so awesome at harmonizing with Mitch and Kirsten at times that you can barely tell there are separate voices! 😅

Thank you for pointing that out, it bothered me too!!

[@s_lasgalen]

They once had homophobic protestors on one of their concerts in summer 2019. The thing about this song is that they always perform it off-mic, they just put one mic on the floor, stand around it and sing. That day the protestors were shouting and had a megaphone which made the performance harder but then the entire crowd went silent and they tried to sing as loud as they could, belting the hell out of their voices. This was one of their most powerful performances ever.

[@cassie8906]

WOW! That's a great story! Thank you for sharing. I've been to quite a few PTX concerts but it was the era of "Light in the Hallway" off mic, not "Run to you". I love how they crowd goes from CRAZY sing along to perfect stillness.

[@s_lasgalen]

@@2nicnag2 yeah, they were some deeply religious homophobes. Seeing Scott, Kirstin and Mitch belt all the notes in the song with as much passion as possible was so moving for me. Them being able to stand their ground and in their own way to prove themselves is still one of the most inspiring things they've done to me

There is a beautiful live version of this song from their tour in 2019, standing on stage without their microphones, just belting their parts to be heard by the crowd. So gorgeous.

[@jenniferyoung8551]

Angie, it was AMAZING but 1 thing that got my attention (besides their voices of course) was that you could literally hear a pin drop in the arena. It was like we were all there, watching, and not breathing!

[@angiepeterson1282]

@@jenniferyoung8551 there is a video where they were singing to cover the chanting from protesters outside, It is so moving to see them work together, showing love and respect to each other and their fans over some of the hate outside that arena

Did nobody tell you to bring the tissues for this one? Don't you worry, boo! We all cry on the first listen to this song... and sometimes on the second and third and... ok you get it. It's beautiful and heartfelt and just rips your soul. Thanks for your reactions

[@RosheenQuynh]

I have yet to cry lol but I hate crying so...

[@stephaniekirby3073]

I've probably cried over this song almost every time listening to it😅

[@larrywt656]

One of their earliest original songs that they released. This would later become a staple of their live shows, usually performed with all five members around one microphone low on the floor. Every time I hear this song, I immediately think of my beautiful wife, who passed away young in 2010...so the tears definitely start flowing.

[@lsorense]

When I heard it live the first time they did it with no mics on. 1200 people were silent in a hall with great acoustics. Amazing.

[@flyngalan]

Never apologise for shedding a tear! It just shows that your emotions are finding expression, which is a cleansing and honest process. Unless you feel too exposed, in which case consider whether to post such reactions carefully. To my mind, you are doing a great job!

[@jennifert8108]

Beautiful 5-part harmony. So emotional. They filmed the chorus singing backwards, so that when they played it forwards the petals are going upwards.

[@isasimonsen4774]

Did they really record it that way? I cant really believe that actually, do you have a newssite or something stating that?

[@bill.godwin-austen]

@@isasimonsen4774 The vocal track is studio recorded (as with all Official Videos for any artist). They did learn to lip-sync the "run to you" chorus backwards to that when played backwards, the lip movements would be correct when synced up with the recorded vocals. :) You'll notice that it's only during the chorus that the petals are falling upwards. They only needed to learn that part with the "reverse" mouth movements.

[@jennyfield266]

@@isasimonsen4774 I remember hearing that as well. Similarly as in "God Only Knows" where they had to sing in double time at the end so when they slowed it down the snow would be falling slowly. I believe it was Kirstie that said it in one of the PTXperience vlogs.

I can tell you are a young daddy... lol. But yes, this song is gorgeous with the 5 part harmonies. I love their togetherness in breathing, singing, emoting.

Tears are good things! They're healing, they're cathartic, they help us work through what we're feeling. I love your reactions, Bayo; you're a top-tier YT favorite. Keep doing what you're doing, and as soon as I can afford it I'll be right there on your Patreon. There is one song I've wondered if you'd react to -- it's really been on my mind lately with everything that's happening in the world -- Rise by Superfruit (Scott, Mitch, with guest stars Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose and Mary Lambert). As I understand it, it was in response to the Pulse nightclub tragedy. It'll get you right in the emotions, but it's such a beautiful message. Thanks again for all the positivity and delight in music that you put out into the world!

[@lellyt2372]

I've been a PTX fan for at least 8 yrs but I didn't hear this song for the very first time until the week we buried my father. I don't know how I didn't hear it before then but it was unbelievable. I was totally numb, I lost my mother less than 2 yrs before and I remember hearing this and crying, really genuinely sobbing and it was the first time I was able to express my sorrow. They gave me the chance to let the walls down and grieve for both my parents and when they sing about breaking down the gates of heaven I felt it in every cell in my body. Those angels spoke my pain and sorrow for me and every time I hear it, I sob and miss my parents and allow the feelings out. Never ever apologise for your pure emotions, they unite us as humans and it is very needed in these days 💖 God bless

I love this song so, so beautifully harmonious .♡♡♡

[@mecfstraveler]

This is an original! It used to get to me every time I listened to it! On their world tour (that they had to put on hold in early 2020 because of covid-19) this was the song that they would sing like a traditional acapella group. They have one microphone and they form a semicircle around that microphone. They take out their earpieces and ask the audience to be totally quiet so they can hear each other without those earpieces. The audience is so respectful that it gets so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It's just beautiful and now I'm going to cry because I miss them! But they've been very active during lockdown and did a lot of videos from home. They've really tried to keep the fans feeling a sense of normalcy in a very odd feeling world. I appreciate them so much, just like I appreciate your positivity and how genuine you are. That's the exact reason why I decided to become a patron when I learned that your Barber Shop was closed last week. You give a very good vibe that brings my mood up even though I'm still in lockdown in this State. It helps me to get to share something I really enjoy and get my mind off of anything negative or worrisome. So many people have lost jobs and businesses during this pandemic and since I could afford those few $$ a month I was more than willing to be supportive since you're going through a rough time. I'm not rich but I know there are those out there that literally don't have a few dollars and I'm very glad that you are still providing all of this content on KZbin! I have to choose who I want to subscribe to very carefully. I subscribe to Pentatonix and I subscribe to you. And I am so relieved that I love your content on patreon! I'm getting something really cool out of all this and it actually helps you out. People helping people is a good thing. Thanks for all the positivity!

[@DarthRayj]

This song is incredibly soothing to me, and I've used it to fall asleep for well over five years now. At first, I'd just put this song on repeat til I slept, but now it's part of a night-time playlist; still equally as effective and I often start the playlist by listening to this one. Light in the Hallway, Say Something, and Standing By are also part of the playlist of course.

[@snowyowl611]

This song brought me to tears the first time I heard it, I kept thinking of my parents (deceased). When I listen to it now, I think of someone who has lost their way or passed away and had a hard life. Now they are running to Jesus and that's why the shackles ( our body) were broken.

[@louellamoyer5578]

To me, it was like the daily wars we have to traverse through this life yearning, when we are downtrodden with broken bones and tattered clothes we finally break down the gates of heaven to 'Run To You', our Lord Jesus. I'm sure this has many meanings to a lot of people. I may be way off but then again I see things in a painting that no one else sees. Thanks for reacting!

[@DelGuy03]

They wrote this in such a way that the listener could relate to it in any way they chose: It's about a loss and the longing to repair it, but it could be a loss through death, a loss of faith, a loss of a loved one (and that could be any kind of love).... it's up to you. Also, you kept saying "four voices," but Pentatonix has five members (hence the name :) ), and there was no percussion here, they all sang together. This is probably the most enduring of their original songs.

[@AnnaDeCameron]

This is one of those videos where Avi (bass singer) is still in the group and also Kevin O (the beat boxer is singing). That puts all 5 of them singing.
