We're having a very hard time deciding whether we prefer Geoff's cover or Pentatonix's! You can check out our reaction to the latter here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZeXqJSDrrKJoZo 🙌

[@laundrygoddess4]

Vp all the way. Ptx to me has the technical skills but they can't make me feel things like Geoff.

[@mamiemartinson4649]

Geoff. PTX is all about some fun, but Geoff is other worldly here.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Actually it sounds just as amazing the fifth , sixth, twentieth, time you hear it. Every single time.

[@ilonadever8249]

I never try to compare one to another because they are not supposed to be the same. I do, however, know which I like better. It's always Geoff and/or Voiceplay. Every time. We've seen snippets or clues of both of their songs for April. Be forewarned!!

[@laundrygoddess4]

The costuming alone is epic. Can't wait to hear it!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I can’t wait for their upcoming songs too!! 😍

[@janetdw]

I was considerably younger 😏when I fell in love with Simon and Garfunkel’s version. Actually I fell in love with pretty much everything they did. So I was a little apprehensive because I knew it would be significantly different. But the fact that it’s so different means I can enjoy both versions as well as appreciate the one by Disturbed although it’s not to my personal taste- I grew up with too much anger to enjoy it. I think it’s a wise choice on his part to have the BGV’s‘s by his clones but not show them. It just adds to that sense of solitude and almost desolation. Perhaps it’s because I suffer from depression but I didn’t see it as a walk in the forest although I wish I did. For me it was more of being in a dark tunnel and coming out into the sunlight when rock god Geoff showed up.

[@MiladyMacabre]

Thanks so much for acknowledging Eli's absolutely brilliant lighting design, which adds so much to the video, all on top of Geoff's amazing arrangement, vocals, and sound choices. If you want to listen to Geoff with no harmonies/background vocals/clones, check out his cover of High and Dry. It's simply stunning.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks for the recommendation! It’s one of his pieces that we still haven’t reacted to yet 😄

[@laundrygoddess4]

His instrumentation skills are just building and getting more powerful with every song. It's been so wonderful to listen to his growth as a musician

[@ZhenYaoYin]

The soundscape he created wouldn’t sound out of place in a Christopher Nolan movie! 😄

[@flar4282]

I made a similar comment on another reactor's channel, but I love when Geoff goes into the 4th verse and goes Musical Super Saiyan!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

LOL I love the Super Saiyan comparison! 🤣

[@tolnac]

There was no fan. That was Geoff Hair Power. ;) Great reaction!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

ROFL! 🤣

[@thomasfarr7934]

I always enjoy your reactions to Geoff. He is definitely my favorite musician!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

He’s definitely in our top 10! 🤩

[@sandraperezaguilar4946]

It's definitely an epic arrangement! The strength in Geoff's voice wow!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Super epic indeed! 🤩

[@candilunsford2878]

As a contralto I'm drawn to lower voices but I'm loving hearing more of Geoff's range. The background music/percussion just ramps up the intensity and that Eb4 in the last verse is awesome!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I agree, what’s the point of having such a wide range if you don’t show it off? 😆

[@rhov-anion]

Same. I'm also a contralto, and I'm amazed when Geoff hits a high note I struggle to hit. His range is so envious!

[@margiestevens2384]

Hope you had a lovely hike😊 your reaction to this song was great❤ I’ve started looking forward to your reactions 😊

[@ZhenYaoYin]

OMG, thanks so much for your support, much appreciated! Glad that you're enjoying our reactions, we try our best to deliver! 🙌❤

[@iamsquatty]

I knew y'all would love this one. He did such a good job with it 😊

[@ZhenYaoYin]

He was fantastic! 🤩

[@veronicathunander4579]

Beautiful!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Indeed! 😍

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

love this version I did listen to disturbed version since everyone talked about it and I hadn’t heard it. I think to be fair I will need to listed to the disturbed one a few more times it didn’t do that much for me first time round.❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@laundrygoddess4]

Doesn't do a thing for me earlier. The tone and the words don't match for me

[@ZhenYaoYin]

It’s been years since I’ve seen the Disturbed version too, I suppose I should go check it out again 🤔

[@carinarodebak9419]

I like your picturing of walking in the forest and then coming out on a mountain. Geoff certainly took us by surprise in this one.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

He set the mood pretty well 🤣

[@BlueZebra1955]

For some reason that beautiful piano reminds me of gentle rain or snow.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

That’s one way to look at it! ❄️

[@RichardVaught]

You should do 'The war was in color' by Carbon Leaf.

[@Broomrider1492]

I was 10 when Simon & Garfunkel wrote and sang this song. My granddaughter linked me to Disturbeds' cover when they released it, Blew my mind. Now Geoff's is my favorite. I'll let you do the math on my age. hehe.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

You can’t be a day over 40! 😜

[@DTA-Music]

Jeoph, Daryl and the others are there...they just let Geoff Prime have the spotlight for this one.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

How kind of them! 😆

[@marymulligan3053]

Loved your reaction! Geoff is amazing!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

He is! Thanks so much for watching! 🤩

[@ronsbrat525]

Awesome reaction y'all.. This is a beautiful song and video.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@manyoual2880]

Hey great reaction as always! You gotta change the original video link. It is still "Till Then" by Geoff. Love from germany

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Ahhhh thanks so much for the note! 😙

[@mamiemartinson4649]

NEW RELEASE from VoicePlay. Viking War Song. Geoff is EPIC and Cesar is awesom. Layne has some new tricks up his sleeve. JNone is back and Eli is doing the Rock God thing... again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3qbmYOJiL-GgpY

[@Wildecat10]

It’s not really fair to compare Geoff’s solo work to acapella, since it never is. He spends hours searching for just the right sounding instruments to include, whether it be an older piano (Till Then) or just the right drums. While he usually shows his ‘clones’ doing their background vocals, he has gone completely solo before. If you haven’t heard High and Dry yet you should run (not walk) to do so. He says that’s the favorite song he’s ever done.

[@embran8486]

But you can compare to other covers in general. IMHO Geoff's version eclipses even composition and sound scape wise the Disturbed one.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Of course, they’re totally different styles that deserve to be viewed in their own merit. Noted on “High and Dry”, it’s something we still have yet to react to… Hopefully we get to it soon! 💪

[@julieschultz6363]

This was nice and the harmonies were beautiful. If you thought THIS one was good, You'd love Disturbed's (official video) even more. It's SOOO powerful. His voice and the images in the video make me cry every single time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qnmGCdbNllopY

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks! It’s been years since I’ve seen the Disturbed version! 🤩

[@julieschultz6363]
