MIND-BLOWING Vocals in "SONG OF DURIN" by Geoff Castellucci

[@grandnagus5851]

Geoff had to shave parts of his face in order of what beard was applied, so he had to sing / film the individual parts / dwarfs in a specific order, since he wanted them to be on screen in pairs, excluding Gimli in the middle that is, so the pairing together determined the order of production, shaving, filming and so forth. Absolutely insane.

[@09Creeperboy]

I’m fairly certain all of the beards are cosmetic. The Geoff 4th from the left is the most like him normally, and has no beard. Geoff does not grow a beard.

[@grandnagus5851]

@@09Creeperboy Geoff grew about a weeks worth of facial hair, as you can see in the 'beardless' Geoff, that is why that one had to be filmed first, since the others would only work, like i said, with parts of that growth shaved off at specific selective points and times.

[@Phoenix_A.W.810]

Thats the most melodic version I ever heard of this song. Hands down. Beautiful yet menacing.

[@ChapAl-14]

@@Phoenix_A.W.810 Well said. I agree wholeheartedly

[@EmmaYadkin]

Love your reaction. I suggest naming your stress ball Rhonda, I can picture you calling out "Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda".

[@amberfuchscia709]

EmmaYadkin...really funny! Great idea!❤❤❤❤

[@marshayoung9387]

Geoff knocked this out of the ball park. His cover is better than any of the others.

[@gigi3242]

There is such a reverence in this song, it feels so gentle to me. Thanks for the video, have a wonderful week.

[@DTA-Music]

What really grabs me is how solemnly Geoff treats the line about the kings in Nargothrond and Gondolin having passed away. It's absolutely perfect. Those were Elven kingdoms, a race that the Dwarves didn't always get along with; but there were times when they'd forged legendary friendships, and there's a callback later in the books to Gimli singing this song in Moria that highlights that just beautifully, that I hadn't caught in many re-reads until I saw this video. It just brings tears to my eyes how Tolkien wove his history and the relationships between his characters, and Geoff and Kathy (and company) pay such gorgeous tribute to it here.

[@Shadow_Person11]

"We have died a great death today" YES!!!! Love this cover and enjoyed your reaction too!!

[@EtherealForever]

He's got the most beautiful timbre to his voice... and just how much talent to arrange (and execute) this... 🌹🕊

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

The stacked harmonies are goosebump central.

[@tenkohan]

Thanks to Geoff and especially Clamavi de Profundi for bringing this music to life!

[@vdoyne]

Thanks for another reaction to a wonderful release from Geoff. I absolutely love his "Song of Durin."

[@bellferguson4393]

I have goosebumps on both my arms and legs! Man's voice is as insane as always!!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

you are correct that he is so talented he should have many more views ❤

[@vulcanivy]

I love the idea of going live and discussing your favorite artists that you have covered on your channel. That’s a wonderful idea.❤

[@katthor7311]

I always look for your Geoff and VP reactions. 😁

[@marshayoung9387]

Thank you for another great reaction to Geoff. ❤

[@rebeccawhite1176]

Your intro on this one had me thinking the audio on my computer was busted - saw your mouth moving but no sound coming out XD love the reaction as always

[@anitawright7169]

Geoff is amazing! This is so beautiful and sad at the same time. A lot of hard work went into this. Love your reaction!

[@miojamo3977]

Aboslutely amazing, i cant stop replaying it. Best thing ive heard in a long time. Never wanted to live more beneath the mountains. I had the exact same facial expressions as you.

[@amberfuchscia709]

Always love your reactions! This ethereal masterpiece cannot be praised enough. 🥰🥰🥰

[@kerstinwolfsteller3660]

SUPER! Er ist ein GOTT der Musik!

[@dirmusloner7963]

Dave when I see Geoff in a song I buckle up cause I know the DRAGON WOULD AWAKE ANY TIME

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Loved your reaction as usual, Dave. I had waves of goosebumps listening to this the first time & still do. Beautiful and eerie at the same time, Geoff really did an excellent job on vocals, plus they did a great job on costuming & setting. Your stress ball is an interesting new addition. Peter? I hope you do a livestream and that I'm able to make it to enjoy the musical fellowship with you.😊

[@Thedeadpool5505]

Omg your becoming my favorite reactor. Song is epic enough but your facial expressions seal the deal lmao

[@pjnathaniel5445]

I have never seen anyone twist and contort their face in so many ways in stressful fear and excitement as much as you do. 😆😆😆😆 Also, I petition Seby the Stress Ball.

[@marleiaisenhoward1891]

Just Beautiful arrangement by Geoff love your reaction ❤❤😊😊

[@MarieDesJardin]

Dave, I love the stress ball! I would venture the name "Floppy", but do what you like! Another lovely reaction. So glad you survived

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

I keep coming back to watch your reaction of this...I love your appreciation of his greatness! This whole thing is smooth as butter. His tone in each range is so rounded and beautiful. I keep trying to listen to other bass groups but I am always left wanting Geoff's voice because no one else has such a beautiful tone! He has spoiled me for other bass singers. Literally, no one else compares in any of the ranges he uses in these productions where he sings multiple parts. Apart from his brilliance as an arranger (and he is *genuinely brilliant* ) he is brilliant in his performances and in each one he, mind-bendingly, finds ways to improve! I just can't even grok! (And if you get my use of grok, you're as big a nerd as I am! LOL) Kudos to his whole brilliant team, too!

[@wyerenthbludragon7549]

Another great reaction! Geoff is another favorite artist. Extremely talented.

[@toryistatertot5394]

It can't be peter the stress ball! I can't tell my kids "It's okay he's squeezing his peter". How about calling it life ball? Great reaction dude!

[@whatitdodave]

Now that you say that, yeah it’s a bad name haha.

[@juliacarvalho93]

I was watching this and thinking of you and how much this emotional song gave me the chills and made me literally cry so I started laughing cause I knew I needed to be prepared (got the reference of voiceplay’s video coming soon?) to make a CPR (I’m a doctor, by the way) on you cause you’re gonna need it!!!! I literally cried and saw the floor rumble and the de@th getting closer and then I laughed so hard by the end of this video (imagining your reaction) and now my six dogs are staring at me with a stank face (just like yours) but more confused than amazed! Hahaha Love you and your reactions! Brazilian fan here

[@juliacarvalho93]

Also, I have an German Shepherd puppy (almost 5 months young) and he only calms down with @geoffcastellucci voice or when I laugh.. but not any laugh.. it is THE LAUGH, and he is so relaxed now…

[@FLNatureGuy]

How does he do it? I'm speechless in the comments! Crazy good!!!

[@InstrucTube]

I don't think you wanna name it Peter, Dave. Cause people are just gonna tell you to squeeze your... you get it.

[@Ghostwhite1014]

There it is the famous Dave repeat! Twice!

[@Gizmopup2011]

Thank you Dave. Love your reactions and facial expressions. Happy many repeat listening to this beautiful masterpiece from multi talented Geoff, Kathy and their village of talented people. Your stress ball needs to be called Rhonda, as suggested by a few here already. I would love to hear and see that, “help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda” 😂😂😂😂

[@pzycho_reclas1794]

Absolutely! You should do like a monthly live! And I would like to volunteer to be a what it do moderator! Musical machinations? The sound lounge? Who knows but I'm all for it!!!

[@annettehighfill3920]

Geoff went "nasty" on you. I love your facial expressions. Your tension squeeze should just be called "the nasty ball" lol

[@loveloochay]

🤠 ..... I dig it. I dig it. Keep them coming Sam. Great sound from this mother hucker 😊

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Thanks Dave😊

[@KingChris64]

Honestly, had the same reactions when I first heard this.

[@FrancesSmith-v4u]

Yes, I am interested.

[@Nemo67577]

Vinny Marchi: Very rare ‘counter-tenor’ voice; the exact opposite of a Bass voice To introduce you, these are all ‘Shorts’: Lullaby of Woe (from ‘The Witcher’) Misty Mountains (duet with Bobby “Bass” Waters) Dragonborn Comes (from Skyrim) You’re welcome!! ❤ 😂😂

[@SpectralWolf01]

A live would be awesome!

[@JewelShadow]

Would love chatting about musicians!

[@ImperialKnight770]

*KHAZAAAAAAD!! DUM!!*

[@PAT8888-is2pd]

He also plays guitar and harmonica.

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

yes go live!

[@voidwalker3919]

The thing is, I know exactly what characters he's portraying while singing this, from left to right it is Fili, Thorin, Gimli, Legolas, and Kili. at least that's what makes the most sense to me.

[@Jeremazing13]

You need to watch I see fire by Bobby Bass and Vinny

[@Starrynightdiner]

The ball looks like a Bob to me. ❤

[@tristandodd4806]

I've been playing shadow of war too much when the light flashed and kili came in i was like "Bright lord?! Excuse me?!" 😂

[@5550897]

I would love it if you went live

[@wyerenthbludragon7549]

He stacks vocals like Dan Vasc's cover of Bohemian Rapsody.

[@trishaurvan9439]

You could name the stress ball "the dragon" and whenever Geoff slays and you have to reach for the ball you can say Geoff has slayed the dragon again lol just a thought lol

[@christinadowdican3268]

Live would be awasome!!!

[@scottstacey5210]

Hey Dave! I recently saw your reaction to shine through by stupendium and I absolutely loved your reaction to the song. After that I wanted to see if you’ve reacted to divide music which you have. But not to this particular song with loads of valuable lessons called “find your way” an avatar the last airbender song. It’s made of quotes from a wise man from the show, would love to see you react to it and I believe you will find it a gem!

[@azer86x]

Great video! First video I saw of yours was about the Plankton Metal song. Pretty sure I saw a K-State Proud shirt at one point. If so, Go State! :)

[@Spectralyzed]

As much as I love Eurielle's version of this song, I really love that Geoff went with Clamavi's composition.

[@dragonlordvenrex8204]

SON BROKU dropped a new All Might song.

[@Badger77722]

Hey, if you're going to need your stress ball when listening to Geoff, you should probably name it after him! I dub thee Jeffrey, the stress ball!

[@MelindaBrown-yz5jc]

❤️❤️

[@tristadav]

Oh, he's from Dimash's planet!

[@jameswilliams4566]

Hey Dave, thanks for the reaction. How about name your stress ball Splash. It looks like someone just splashed paint on it.

[@lennyface8195]

Late replay, but I was going to suggest you named it Steve the Stress Ball.

[@Prisoner..24601]

can i suggest for you to check out "Chase Noseworthy" and his music video " Blacksmith, Blacksmith " ?

[@lkreinmiller-author]

Your stress ball should be Dragon Egg.

[@benpet1454]

😂😂😂

[@butterswarren8568]

So i might be crazy or something but all of his lord of the rings songs seem like they all have the same number of Geoff and same kind of outfits and each sing in a different octive or am I just crazy lol 😅😅😂😂

[@ron3557]

Yo dave can u react to "roblox jujutsu shenanigans in a nutshell" by tankfish its pretty fire

[@scottrogers7242]

Seriously Dave? The Geoff with the red beard is the only new character in these Lord of the Ring/Hobbit performances. The other four Geoffs you're fawning over in awe for costume and makeup - you've already seen before in your reactions to "Misty Mountains Cold" and "I See Fire", with the EXACT, EXACT same makeup and costumes.

[@whatitdodave]

Excuse me for being impressed all over again, then.
