Music Teacher Reacts: PENTATONIX - Be My Eyes

[@jinafire4574]

"Did dude just do a bass drop with his freakin' voice?" Welcome to Pentatonix

[@joatkins9793]

Apparently Kirstie wrote the song as well. It’s a different vibe for them but it’s definitely beautiful.

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

I agree... different vibe.. but still epic.

[@joatkins9793]

Probably my favourite original is Run to You but the live version of their original Can’t Sleep Love at Popspring 2016 is epic

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

@@joatkins9793 YES! Love "Run to You" because it's beautiful, love "Sing" because it's so full of energy and they had fans in the video, love "Water" because it shows off Kirstie's voice and is a unique vibe for the group, but Mitch's rap and sass in the Popspring version of "Can't Sleep Love" just feels like it characterizes the whole group's "see what I can do" love for performing when they're having fun

[@SolennBreizh]

@@elizabethsantersero9597 May I say that I love ALL their originals so far? I mean they did a lot of wonderful - even mesmerizing - covers along the years, but their originals are all great :)

[@Langley_Ackerman19]

Agree. When artists are able to sing different styles/genre from their usual style, it only shows their versatility. Keeps their music or sound fresh. Plus Kirstin leads this and she's always been my favorite. 🥰

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

Hey, PTX is opening the Billboard awards with Kelly Clarkson tonight, and Mitch has solo music coming out tomorrow.

[@mazcolyer1972]

Wow mitch has his own solo coming out tomorrow will it be on you tube x

Here's a link to a recording of the performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZPKgpyuh8qHjq8& It is definitely his new persona, nothing remotely PTX about it. However, the song itself is beautiful.

[@michelle32855]

Gotta say, I'm liking Kirstie's use of the lower part of her range.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

That's developed into the best part of her voice.

[@leighc9004]

Love, love when Kirstin's mezzo shines. Her range is great but I personally love her most when she stays in that lower part of her range. More powerful.

[@EhrineAshbark]

It's one of the reasons why I really love their cover of Sound of Silence. Kirstin seems to be in exactly the right zone in that one which gives it such strength.

[@ImFrelled]

To quote Karen Carpenter; "The money is in the basement.".

[@keddiewye6517]

If you want another original to react to I recommend “Run to You”. Kevin does not do any beat-boxing in that one, it’s pure 5 part harmony.

[@summerarmstrong2841]

YESSSS! It’s absolutely GORGEOUS!

[@kristagerry8505]

I think you would like their original song "Happy Now" it was released about 2mnths ago and is so upbeat and beautiful! 😊

[@bradsouthers7476]

You get a thumbs up just for being such a Pentaholic to jump on this one so fast.

[@donnaorapallo5216]

I felt the same way.

[@barbarahicks2927]

Agreed...

[@lindaandrews3185]

Totally!!!

[@sherryhall3635]

Original by Kirsten - part of their new album -The Lucky Ones - coming Feb 2021.

[@danielcarter837]

My favorite original of Pentatonix is 'Sing' from their first mostly original album. It is a song of joy

[@aliecat199]

This is like the fifth time I heard this song since “Be My Eyes” release and it just makes me so happy. This song gives me total “Enya” vibes when I listen to it. I love Kevin’s 💧 water drop sounds as part of the percussion track for this song. Also we have to give a ‘shout-out’ to Scott and Matt for them holding down the foundation of this song with Kevin. They made this song sound so full and strong. There ability to hold that line gave both Kristie and Mitch the room to shine with their wonderful vocal runs and solos. Bravo!

[@Fenstrat62]

. This song gives me “Enya” vibes ('Sail Away") but is mesmerizing just the same. Nicely done! Lyndon

[@sarahritacco1765]

React to their older originals: Run To You (emotional) Can't Sleep Love (fun, upbeat)

[@valoreVii]

I believe Love Again is also an original! One of my favorites too.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Kirstin has such a beautiful lower register, it was great to hear it featured so well in this song.

[@FredrikRambris]

I got Enya vibes on this one. Liked it alot.

[@mulberg93]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the first 10 seconds sounded like the opening of Orinoco Flow by Enya.

[@susanb4213]

I love it when music teachers or composers or musicians do reaction videos. I find your comments (even criticisms sometimes) actually help me hear things I didn't hear before, and appreciate things I may have missed. One of the best critical/technical reviews I've ever seen of a PTX video is composer Rob Capilow's review of Angels We Have Heard On High. It really educated me on some of the technical ways PTX stands out and how something I felt instinctively was cool was actually musically and technically brilliant. You may want to react to this (no one ever has as far as I know) or just watch for your own entertainment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3u8hpxup8anhpo

[@bethvargas8841]

Yes true.have watched that multiple times

[@rlhcat7662]

Yes, it's a great analysis of that song.

[@megcperez]

Pan’s Labrynth had me crying like a baby at the end. Yes, it’s creepy but the actual story was just so sad. PTX is awesome as always. I saw them live years ago & I still miss Avi (was supposed to take my kiddo to his concert but then covid struck) but Matt is such a good fit. They’re all just genuinely exemplary vocalists.

[@timmeyers6141]

I’m glad you pointed out the tv show opening sound- many people are hearing Enya in the intro, which I can hear too. But there’s something else that I couldn’t quite place that sounded familiar. When you made the comment I scanned through my memory of tv show intros and I pinned the sound down- Six Feet Under

[@parrottm76262]

So glad you are hear with us Pentaholics when this song dropped. Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole.

[@PaxPixie]

I like how you pointed out the cinematography when they're all together...but they're not all together. They were all filmed separately and then put together digitally. You can tell by the lighting and how Kirstie is more focused. I think they're still recording separately and then blending it all in post, which is incredible that they can blend so beautifully even when singing alone. I definitely recommend their recent originals, particularly Happy Now. That one sounds like it should be on the radio. It truly upsets me that they don't get more radio play because they're acapella.

[@reneeh4406]

I agree with you so much about the radio play! They have such an amazing sound and I really wish they could get more attention and recognition that they deserve for what they are creating.

[@mecfstraveler]

I am so excited that Kirstie wrote this and sang lead the entire time! I Love Her Style when she's doing pop music as The Soloist and I also loved her original music under her own label. But I have to say I like her music style and her singing with Pentatonix doing what they do better than with instruments behind her. She has the same sound, style and presence in front of the camera but Pentatonix brought a whole new level of something special that the instruments just didn't do. Kirstie and Mitch harmonizing was exquisite! And that's the sections I mean when when I'm talking about his "Angel Voice" later in this short Novel I'm writing. There is a point when Mitch was echoing what Kirstie sang, but he was singing higher than Kirdtie had. He enters his "Angel Voice" placement in that part towards the end before they break into the chorus.. and he does some runs and kind of glides around the notes in his Angel Voice like a bird gently riding the currents in the air effortlessly and beautifully! I loved that they did it that way because the two of them sound so good together! Also they did the last verse with Mitch singing a tight Harmony and the sound they created together was something else and totally new for them! I'm going to address that at the very end of this long comment that they will probably make me edit. I love what Kirstie wrote! I just love what they did with it and the choices they made... like you said they didn't get lazy and added more breaks in the vowel (repeating the consonant "W" a few times instead of holding out the vowel for a 4-count). but I think I have a surprise for you. I don't think Kevin sang that bass drop you were impressed with. Kevin is a tenor and he has the highest note in the group. He has a note higher than Mitch's highest note so listen for that when they're doing songs without percussion and they create those Exquisite 5-part harmony wall of sound! it's often Kevin you're hearing singing in the stratosphere! beatboxer, classical cellist and he takes voice lessons because he doesn't think he's as talented as the rest of the group (oh please! 😂) and ends up having the highest note in the group! They're 5 part harmonies or exquisite and sometimes they produce the most Soul jarring discordant Harmony that I can't believe they sang notes that close together and didn't cross into somebody else's note! But that's other songs. so knowing what you know about Kevin's voice now I'm going to tell you why I don't believe Kevin did that bass drop that you were so fond of. I honestly think they were doing a thing messing with what we were seeing and hearing. I believe the bass drop was made by Matt with Kevin lip-syncing it... IF my ear does not deceive me. I think I recognize Matt's Bass at this point.? Scott's bass sounds different enough for me to distinguish who is singing what now. In this Arrangement they switched the bass line around between Scott and Matt in different parts of the song so that Matt was harmonizing with Mitch. they surprised Us by having that sing in his upper register in a duet with Mitch in Mad World for the first time ! we didn't know that they could sound like that and now it's something that we need! Their voices sounded so good together that one fan combined their names to come up with something that represented them as a Duo and it would be Matt and Mitch which equals "Match" . Its a crazy combination that we had no idea they had in their Arsenal! Matt is the bass and he's singing Beautiful harmonies with a countertenor like Mitch?! Knock us over with a feather! And Scott. Scott can sing anything I think ! He is so determined to learn how to do things sorry and he applied it to the lower end of his range and I think Scott sounds amazing as a bass! I think he's worked on it and has really come to own that part of his range. He sounds confident and is in control of it, never sounding like he's straining to hit the notes so that gives them another resource to pull from their bag of tricks! well when they wanted Matt to be singing in his upper register harmonizing with Mitch in this song They simply had Scott take over the bass and it was a rhythmic bassline he was doing. That's a whole nother skill to be able to have the Rhythm to work with the percussionist. The Rhythm Section is so important! And boy did they switch people around in this one! You almost have to look at their mouths to see what parts they're doing to catch that Matt and Scott have switched roles. I'm sure you'll notice that when you dive in and tear it apart! And Mitch was singing in a way that sounds ethereal to me. He's not at his highest notes but something he's doing makes it sound angelic instead of a forward placement on his high notes Mask. He has power in that placement and can belt those high notes! but we get that cartoony sound . I know that's normal for forward placement when you put it right there in the front of your face in the mask and it's an accepted technique... which has done amazing things with that placement . I just have this thing about certain parts of his range and he's using them more now . I love when Mitch uses his chest voice or the can you come High ephereal, Angelic sound that I call his "Angel Voice" placement because I don't know what it's really called! Is there's a name for what he's doing? Is it a placement or technique?

I love all the subtle percussive things that are happening in the background of this arrangement. And Kirstin sounds AMAZING on the vocal! And yes, Mitch’s harmonies add a really cool element to the song. I’m obsessed and can’t stop listening! So glad you’re enjoying Pentatonix! They are one of the best bands in the world.

[@irishangel5689]

This was shot during Covid lockdown and they weren't together when it was filmed. They all came in and did their parts separately. So when you see them all together in those few shots, that to me is some amazing editing in the video department. LOL. Want to hear some great PTX originals, listen to "Sing" ,"Natural Disaster", "Love Again", "Run to You" (which was written by Kevin-the beatboxer and Avi).

[@nessbolton]

A lot of people are referencing Enya’s ‘Orinoco Flow’ which is do hear and I am a fan of her music but I hear an 80’s vibe which pre-dates Enya. This is a fabulous original song written by Kirsten and can’t wait for the album in February 2021. Always nice to hear a musicians take on their music because as a fan to PTX we are always mesmerised by what they can do with their voices and that there are usually no instruments or auto tune. PTX are truly incredible, they really should be better known, being KZbin sensation is one thing but being a band in their own right is something else, I’m hoping the forthcoming album release will jettison them to more than just KZbin!

[@BrianLamb-rocketmanblamb]

I was struggling to remember Enya and went on the whole internet search pinball, didn’t realize this was original song by PTX

[@leslieholland7843]

Valentine is one of my favorites, too.

[@kikimo57]

so creative in their choices

[@beverlykrebs4372]

OK, I am stoked that you picked up on all of the subtle evidences of their multiple talents. You will find that we Pentaholics are extremely passionate about Ptx - not just their songs, but because we already know that the reason for their fame & popularity is that aside from each of them being out-of-this-world talented in their individual right, there is a magic that exists when they sing together. Building on that statement, they have a collective ability to know how to put music together in such a way that best showcases that magic. They are creative geniuses & you can see how they produce their videos to show their perfectionism. They are NEVER lazy when arranging music, & you'll never hear a sloppy note anywhere in their performances. Also, each individual can perform many functions & back each other up well. For instance, when Matt is singing lead, Scott can take over bass like a pro. You are just starting out, so you are in for such a journey of discovery. Prepare to have your mind blown! My suggestions for the next few songs to react to are: Daft Punk, Halleluja, Mary, Did You Know and (because you are a fellow choir/music nerd & will appreciate what they are able to do verbally) I suggest you listen to "Run to You", one of their originals, a very soft & emotional song. After that, they do a killer version of The Sound if Silence & Shallow. There are so, so many. And they are ALL good, as Ptx is incapable of recording a song that is anything but phenomenal. So you can pretty much close your eyes and point and you can't go wrong. Enjoy this journey! We WILL be on it with you!!! Much love, Mama BJ (Bev)

[@vidsorama2]

Thanks for reacting so fast to this PTX original. I enjoyed it. Loved the song/video. You would probably like Kirstin's original song "Water" from their first original album. No official video but there are recordings of it on tours. Best is Popspring which was done in Japan for MTV. It has 3 orig songs and an Evolution Michael Jackson medley.

[@markiebaby]

one song that absolutely always blows me away is Run To You - it's so amazing and it's early Pentatonix so from the get-go they were so incredible. Also if you get the chance, listen to Mitch & Scott's side project Superfruit singing Katy Perry's Rise - it's mind blowing

[@MrDavePed]

They seem to be really comfortable in their own skin doing their own thing it's great to see. They are able to maintain a very high level of originality. When you can't imagine a group being any better and they do it again and again well.. that's a very very special thing. ..

I really love Love Me When I Don't (which I believe Kirstie co-wrote)...it has a lovely melody, and Coffee in Bed (which I think Scott and Mitch co-wrote) as Matt and Kevin provide such a sick bass and beat. They also, not too long ago, released a 90s dance medley - it would be interesting to see what you think of that! It's currently on repeat in my car 😂

Love the analysis. If you like this original, I highly recommend Happy Now which is the other original that came out recently. Off to find some ninjas to fight now... 🤺

After the first handful of notes I thought this was an Enya cover...

[@harrywatson9731]

I'm with you on this i felt it definitely had an Enya feel. Hi all you Pentaholics from Australia.

[@martian50]

Yeah, it has a sound reminiscent of Orinoco Flow, I think.

[@AngelesBustamanteM]

So THAT was the weird vibe xDDD I thought "wait, I know this melody" and couldn't get it out of my head, and came done to the comments just to find out if I wasn't alone xD

[@Emilaria]

It's definitely Orinoco Flow as the backing melody

Great reaction. Thanks!

[@TheGrndratt]

Check out Homefree. They are another a capella groupan they are amazing. Tim Foust their bass has like a five octave range and has hit some of the lowest notes I've heard. You can start with their cover Mayday or How great thou art. They have many covers and original songs.

[@purplesky001]

No, don't start with Mayday. Keep that in the pocket until you get to know them better.

Love your reactions! Music nerds alive. I love your tidbits of technical info, techniques, and terminology. And how you described that wonderful unusual rhythm of the chorus.
