Metalhead Reacts to PTX - "Be My Eyes"

[@michelles746]

She wrote the song. Its nice to see her take a lead.

[@BirdYoumans]

Once upon a time there was this little band called the Beatles that dropped several hit LP's on us and shook the world in a way that no one could have before that. Right place right time. I was 19. I'm now 75, been following this group since the sing off, and when you think they just can't possibly top the last thing they did, they do! BUT, they do it with no instruments. Seriously? I love this group!!

[@jenniferharris9871]

I love that it is an original song and that Kirstin is one of the songwriters.

[@Tymethief]

Just announced the new album is out in February, an original album.

[@Tymethief]

Going to be called 'The Lucky Ones'

[@summerarmstrong2841]

YASSSSSS!!!!!

[@theloneranger8725]

I listened very carefully, and maybe I'm going deaf, but I believe this is the first video by PTX where Scott has no distinguishable solo input during the entire song. I know he must be harmonizing with the group, but unlike Mitch, I can detect no instance in this video where his voice is heard above the others. For PTX that is just incredible, especially since he sings lead in most of them. Oh, no. Someone call a doctor. Scott must have a case of laryngitis! Great reaction, Jase. Thanks for jumping on this one so quickly.

[@ptxcolleen2393]

He was much lower and was harmonizing with Matt.

[@drewmoore7094]

Love Scott’s vocals, but like the variety, especially given Kirsten the lead. Hope they each get one on the new album.

[@echidna2936]

I feel like having Scott singing with the lower section and not being a solo for once really adds so much to the fullness of the song- I love Scott but it’s nice to hear him doing other stuff

[@Phlippan87]

@@ptxcolleen2393 that's what I was thinking. The lower parts of this song is really phenomenal. It sounds so full and if I didn't know I would probably have thought that it was instruments.

[@Phlippan87]

I think I did hear Scott go fairly high a couple of times, was really focusing on him this time around

[@brockachoo]

This song was so captivating. Kirstin stunning and then Mitch coming in making it sound even prettier. This song actually meant a lot to me. My mother is fully blind and it reminded me so much of her and the journey shes been and going through. Pentatonix is always so so damn good.

[@sharons7949]

I think this song can be so many things to so many people. Thanks for sharing about your Mom. I was talking to mine today about all the ways you could take this song and she agreed with me that it's so much better than a lot of stuff on the radio. I think this needs to be on radio stations all over to get to the people that need to hear it, who may have this same cry in their heart , but not the words to say it. Give your mom a hug from me and let her know I think she is brave, and wish her all the best!

[@KassWinnie]

Yes, it make me think of my grandma, too. She is 89 and lost his sight about 3 years ago, now we get to be her eyes when she can't se...

[@brockachoo]

@@KassWinnie Beautiful! I love this. I love that we can help our family member and have such an amazing song we can listen to to help us on our own journey helping others

[@AndrewRitchie85]

I said this on the Mad World vid too, but it bears repeating. A PTX release is a double joy now because it means a new Jase reaction is inbound too 😀. Keep up the great work!

[@EliaKay1]

You got it right about the meaning of the song. This what they emailed to fans. “We also have a brand new music video for y’all! “Be My Eyes” is all about personal perception-seeing things clearly, not seeing things so clearly, and needing loved ones around you to ground you and help you navigate the complexities of life. We wanted to convey that in this video!”

[@BriPhi39]

I love the vibe of Enya's "Sail Away" with PTX's vocalization. VERY chill. :)

[@drewmoore7094]

The opening reminded me of Enya “Orinoco Flow” which Id love to hear them cover.

[@gabbyboyd94]

Yes thank you. I couldn't remember what song but it was very familiar

[@marybrown6128]

Yes, it does have an Enya vibe, doesn't it?

[@super_siri]

It's hundred percent very reminiscent of Orinoco Flow, which is one of my favorite songs.

[@aLittleBitOfEricaJ]

I heard that too! It was driving me nuts because I couldn’t place it.

[@jewels1296]

[@igman3878]

Just a quick noye Jase!!~!~Kirsty wrote this song!!!! Brava to her. Talk about talent.

[@PhoenixTorn]

Kirsten is so talented, she sings and writes and beautiful too! Praying she doesn't lose her vision.

[@purpleffinturtle]

As a formal vocal major in a performing arts academy I love love love when you review pentatonix. As a choir we, as a group, aspired to be as good as pentatonix. A Cappella was always our favorite thing to sing. One song we did was called Ho Taru Koi and at multiple times it sounded like water droplets just with our combined voices. Another one was Las Amarillas which I often describe as sounding like a what I think a scitzophrenic's mind sounds like. But I think what you might be hearing a lot when you listen to them is the phenomenon that happens when one or more voices perfectly match pitch not even a little bit flat or sharp. When that happens you can hear something more notes than are actually there and it's breathtaking.

[@super_siri]

Hitting two notes perfectly, often gives the impression of a third note. 3 notes, can be as many as 5 notes if hit perfectly. It's a wonderful phenomenon, and leads to that wall of sound situation.

[@kristie9144]

Guys talking about the photoshopping - we're still in either red level or orange level lockdown here in CA so gatherings are not allowed under special circumstances. It is plausible that they filmed individually and layered them, particularly noting the height difference between Scott and the others isn't as obvious.

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

The beginning of this is SOOO Enya, Sail Away. Love it.

[@EmpoDaddy99]

I feel like this song is the most "instrumental" sounding song they've done so far. It's really hard to distinguish their voices from the plucking of orchestral string instruments in this one.

[@Krystle_xo]

i held off listening to this song until i could watch your video! im so happy i watched your video first

[@Ngaspo]

I LOVE this song. I have very high hopes for this new album!

[@denisehart7104]

Wonderful reaction ! Stunning visuals, fantastic voices, and a powerful message ! In this world of chaos and too much information, we need someone who grounds us, keeps us sane ! I'm a Pentaholic and love these people so much ! Thank you

[@ehcimocs2364]

I also thought they looked "photo shopped" in and that this was created separately. What an incredible song. They really are sublime. Great reaction.

[@risacornette7636]

Great reaction as always Jayce! I so love this new original song. Kirstie does a beautiful job in her lower register and is so solid and melodic throughout the song. But, oh Mitch! I love both those high harmonies and his lower register flowing throughout the entire song backing up Kirstie’s lead. Kevin looking so blasé in the beginning of the video as he just calmly beatboxes his heart out and then about midway through just breaks loose and is totally Into it and just jamming away. The bass drops by Matt and Scott supporting the bass as well as the harmonies throughout the song is awesome also. I love everything about this video although I do have to admit the focus on the eyes freaks me out a little bit. It’s just a thing I have about eyes😉 The base melody in this song gives me big Enya Orinoco Flow’s s vibes. I love how into it you always get as well. It just makes me happy to see another video from you pop up. Keep it up! So glad that you were being able to make a go of this and keep on reacting. I always look forward to it.

[@larrygranbois4164]

What she said^^, totally agree!

[@dalemaddened780]

Great reaction to a great song! Yes they announced a new original album at the same time they dropped this video. The new album is called , "The Lucky Ones" and it comes out Feb. 12, 2021. You can pre-order it now!

[@edsoutlawmotorsports1332]

Sorry man, I couldn’t wait on you. Watched it about a half hour after it dropped. This one is going to be burning up Spotify for sure! Mainstream radio material if there ever was. I still had to come by and see your reaction. I just love when great music from any genre can be so appreciated by someone who would not typically listen to said genre. I don’t think it matters what a person normally listens to, the power of PTX’s harmonies and individual abilities will hook anyone. Keep ‘em coming!!

[@luckylady7542]

They have rendered me speechless. Great reaction.❤

[@davidphillips4476]

Matt's bass line is incredible!! and you are right II took me awhile to realize Kevin is not a drum, it was so good. That was so nice. Ya noticed the tats as well. She looks stunning and then Mitch...those clear clear notes. New Original album

[@lindaandrews3185]

New original album dropping 02/12/2021. It was due to drop this last February but was delayed due to all the mess. Love the reaction, love the song. Kirstin wrote this song. The single "Happy Now" that dropped back in August is also an original that will be on their new album.

[@RinaPranoto]

Wow, very prompt reaction! The song has just come out today, right? Love it.

[@lindakramer6075]

Great reaction! It good to see Kirstin take the lead. Being that time of the year, could you make your next PTX reaction "Making Christmas". If you don't know where the song is from, don't look it up. It would spoil the fun!

[@elamothe81]

Thanks for making this vid so quickly!

[@lindamorris3149]

It looks like the shots of the 5 of them together are "photoshopped" to look like they were together. But it's also possible that they did actually record together and intentionally made it look that way. Since their videos are always spot on, I tend to think it was intentional.

[@briandavis1951]

I think in those shots, we are meant to see the guys are not "there" and are the voices in her head.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

I'm pretty sure that both of the original videos they've released recently were filmed before the lockdown (notice that Mitch still has the mullet), the production process just took longer before they were ready for release, since the production standards are higher than for the "At Home" videos.

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

Looks to me like they were on green screen and overlapped to look like they were together.

[@FacesByChelseaK]

Mitch’s voice is so distinctive, and they’ve all agreed before that he has the best voice of the group, lol. He stands out in every way - that’s who he is.

[@EhrineAshbark]

@@bill.godwin-austen This one is recorded more recently as Kirstin only changed her hair back to blonde a few weeks ago. As such, they're probably still following guidelines that mean filming separately for safety.
