Imagine Dragons broke me. Professional Singer Reaction & Vocal ANALYSIS | "Eyes Closed"

[@PeterBarber]

One of my favorite ID songs ever, no question - words cannot express my love and admiration for this group, but hopefully it’s captured in this video :] if you want to gain appreciation for this band, and learn about all the cool musical elements of this song, you’re in the right place! What else from them should I analyze?

[@yamcha205]

They're my favorite band, no doubt about that. You should give Man in the Moon a listen, one of my favorites

[@kmdugger]

❤❤❤

[@DeletedUser-mg4ij]

This is now my most favorite ID song ❤

[@anny4627]

The Fall and Thief are 2 amazing songs :)

[@ADHDMagician]

If you haven’t already, bad liar would be a good one to react to

[@lennyfox6676]

Been an avtive Imagine Dragons fan ever since It's Time and Radioactive and I had the exact same reaction to that chorus! Love the song so much! Thank you so much for this reaction/analysis, would love to see more IG reactions from you! ❤

[@PeterBarber]

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one :]

[@dustinbutler9810]

*Instantly Distracted* Had me laughing so hard.

[@MagicMason1000]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@82gamerprincess31]

I love that the internet tried to meme ID into oblivion ala Creed/Nickleback but then Enemy dropped and everyone shut up lol. I love Dan and his positive and inclusive attitude. I miss watching the videos he’d put out noodling around creating songs.

[@PeterBarber]

FOR REAL.

[@pasttense69]

@@PeterBarber Dan has put out so many good little snippets over the years that i STILL go back and listen to just wishing he’ll release them someday

[@hallio111]

sick because the music is still really really bad.

[@KaivalaJenva]

No idea how you can hear so many elements while fanboying so much. Lol

​@@briannepartington946@KaivalaJenva multitasks too. Can post comments while hating ID through gritted teeth is multitasking. Kaivala got a lot accomplished that day.

[@PeterBarber]

It's a great skill I've acquired over the years 😆

[@juvolp1052]

This song is ALL I’ve listened to since it dropped, I am sooo addicted to it and have been dying to talk to someone about it - sadly I don’t know anyone who loves I.D as much as me 😅 thought “there MUST be people freaking out about this on social media!!” - came across this video and you’re literally my hero now 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 brb subscribing…

[@MaxenceHmt]

I feel you😂

[@adelapribylova9293]

Same here!😂 Listening only to this song 24/7❤️😭😂 it’s amazinggggg

[@nikk0666]

Dan got the ‘Reacher’ look happening. Perfect

[@lillianivester6414]

I would love to see Dan on your podcast! I've loved the band for a while now 😁 it would be so cool to learn more about the group and how they write their songs!

[@VirginiaBarber-nv9hj]

Very cool song, very cool visual effects, and of course, very cool singing! Thanks for the breakdown, analysis, ad your enthusiasm!!

[@taz9311]

I've always loved ID, for as long as I can remember them being around. They're so, SO good, it's crazy. People tried to meme them and bring them down for years but they're on fire, every sound they try they execute perfectly and blend it into their own take. Amazing to listen to them, they have a song for every mood.

[@Eileen_in_Vegas]

Great R&A! My #2 son is heavy into dubstep and EDM (as a fan) and he shared some with me after his last deployment. He was shocked that his old mom enjoyed it. 🤣 So keep encouraging people to check it out! You're never too old for new music!

[@Dawn54811]

Thanks Peter for R/A. Love this song and second the sentiment about Dan looking “saucy”! Fun to watch you geeking out a bit😂❤

[@mishakelly2]

Dan is a Statue. This was a really great reaction. Never be afraid to rewind to give input. That’s what reactions should be. 😁

[@gemhunter498]

I have been listening to this song nonstop since it came out, this is incredible, I have to make a cover on it now. Thanks for the info on Vital, I am still new to production so i don’t know all the cool programs yet.

[@chezgraham]

I laughed so much watching this! love ID, great analysis as usual, thanks Peter.

[@sibertiger1970]

I'm returning to your reaction 7 months after watching it the first time. I have watched your version. Amazing. You have truly paid homage to ID.

[@PeterBarber]

Thanks so much! I got to see them at the Hollywood Bowl last month -- it was incredible

[@ToniaRichardson-tm3ff]

Excellent reaction / analysis, Peter! Thank you for waiting, and sharing your first viewing with us. Wishing you continued, joyous success. Blessings to everyone, from Kauai!

[@Anna355]

Maybe you can react to my life and dull knives and btw I think you said Dan is a tenor but I think he says that he is more like a baritone iirc

[@mike_gusta2994]

15:30 Dont wanna bust your balls but their drummer Daniel Platzman wasnt involved while making this song. Last year in March ,he announced that he was taking a break to focus on his own health. He also isnt credited for it. Unless someone else was drumming, they were only using synths and beats for this song. In their new acoustic version of the song Dan is using some kind of synthesizer, so they probably didnt use a real drum set but i might be wrong.

[@melindahancock8518]

I have to agree this is one of my favs of Imagine Dragons! This thing is total FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 This was so much fun! Now to inform my peeps! Thank you for sharing your gifts 💜

[@m1zzone723]

The way you can pick this apart is incredible. Awesome 👏🏼

[@danam.5127]

You are FAST! I know sometimes it can take a little while to get videos out, but the fact that this song premiered YESTERDAY and it's already up!? Goes to show how big of a fan you are! I've been a more casual fan, but every new song I've heard is even more amazing than the last- they just keep getting better and better! The pinned comment on their video helped me gain even more admiration for him as a singer and a person as well. No one becomes this good overnight- his dedication to his craft really shows! I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but as someone with audio processing issues, I really appreciate seeing someone break songs like this down so I can have a better understanding of what I'm hearing. The little musical training I do have was with tabs rather than notes/scales, so the way you demonstrate the note on the piano, on screen, and describe how it relates to the person's range helps me grasp the concepts a lot better! (In case anyone's curious, I play the Okinawan sanshin (3-stringed lute) with written music called kunkunshi, which shows tabs.) I'm broke right now, but for the time being, I've joined your patreon for free!

[@eradikated]

Hey Peter! Heard Gigi Vibes released a cover of Love the Way You Lie a couple of days ago 😏😏😏 Love the reaction and analysis as usual! Looking forward to more~

[@BeeKnown]

love seeing your excitement for this!! the director of this video, Andrew Donoho, also directed twenty one pilots new music video Next Semester, would love to hear your thoughts on that song.

[@PeterBarber]

Cool fun fact! Planning on checking that out -- I love 21P

[@ErisCherice]

Dan destroyed that in the best way possible🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@swimmer1103]

Current imagine dragons obsession😍😭

[@lkayh]

Right? I just watched this am and I’m in love all over again. You saw them IN CONCERT? SO jealous! I won’t compare the singing, but I think Dan Reynolds is right up there with Freddie Mercury as one of the best front men ever-he’s especially amazing when he’s able to get up close with the audience-he really seems to feed off that. Freddie could do the same from more of a distance, but Dan really vibes when he’s close enough to breathe the same air. I wonder if this is autobiographical. It feels very personal when it gets to the car wreck. I loved this reaction/analysis-and I can’t wait to see your cover.

[@imrannasibov]

I have been in their concert, trust me that was an amazing experience, he sounds exactly like he does in original song what is rare in modern artists.

[@alexanderpiano1506]

Awesome detail, subbed. Looking forward to more content!

[@PsclDragonBorn]

Loves Dan, loves Imagine Dragons AND has a Game of Thrones Tattoo ❤️‍🔥 - perfect

[@MagicMomma]

I’ve always noticed the annunciation in his words, part of why I love ID!

[@amybruederle2086]

Peter: Wow! Did you hear that drum (technical music term) it's amazing. Me: This set looks like an area in Baldur's Gate where I died to a bunch of mummies 😂

[@generichumansperson5747]

Actually, a fun fact about Dan, is that he's actually naturally a Baritone! He's said so on a couple podcasts!

[@scirrhia_kruden]

I know they're not well known (so not good for views) and they don't have many music videos, but the band Murder By Death (named after the whodunit comedy, it's not a metal band) has one of my favorite bass singers period. He's sorta like Johnny Cash meets Nick Cave, but a bit deeper, and he's complemented REALLY well by the Cello. The core instruments are the Cello, Guitar and Bass, probably in that order, not including drums. For first songs to listen to, it's hard to choose, and they range across a variety of genres, but my shortlist for a good spread of styles would probably be True Dark, I Shot An Arrow, and Lost River (the only one with a proper music video).

[@jankates1274]

Brilliant analysis PB. Well done!

[@wendyvann6685]

Love this group and their songs.Absouloutly fabulous vocal range, as someone who has vocal damage, and still trying to work out what my vocal range is, ( nobody tells you ) Dans voice is unique , and thank you , think your channel may be paramount to me ❤

[@eugeniamavrommati9252]

Thanks for the analysis!

[@srishtysharma]

It's good, but im so unsure about the lyrics. They don't make much sense and this song sounds like the kind they release once in a while to stay in the mainstream, ie. generic music. But either way, Im so happy to see some ID appreciation for once. I was so ambivalent and was expecting the same old hate comments on this video, but its refreshing to see people being reasonable for once!

[@tarar1998]

This and waves are the best ID songs!! I love this!! Great reaction ❤ Try some Twenty One Pilots!! Ode to sleep mv is like a documentary of their journey back then but Trees live at Fox Theater will make you an instant fan! Then we can guide you on your TOP journey.

I love what you do, and what I am learning. I just have a personal feeling… I want to feel each section of the song, then hope you can back it up, and give your incredible teaching. But I want to get the whole emotional feeling of each part first. It’s a little bit not fulfilling, and a bit uncomfortable. I just want to complete a feeling, and then hear you rewind and talk about it. I’m not judging you, just saying what would make this more comfortable for me. ❤
