Musician Reacts To Be My Eyes Video | Pentatonix

[@vidsorama2]

Thank you for reacting to this PTX original. Please react to Pentatonix mash-up "New Rules x Are You That Somebody?" It is pretty amazing. You'll find lots to discover there.

[@gailcoyle7458]

Yep, I hear it. I went back to the official video to listen too. See everyone, they ARE human. 🤣

[@JacobRestituto]

lol

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Who would have ever guessed?! We are all thinking they are aliens! (Well, jury is still out on Kevin!)

[@larrywt656]

Yeah, I think I heard an audio edit in there. I've been around long enough to know that VERY FEW artists these days get songs done in one take! I know they do the Evolution videos as one continuous take, but I know for a fact that they've never actually gotten one done in just one take. As for the video, the videography is stunning on this one. I can also greatly appreciate the way Kirstie is taking a major leadership role now. She was always the hidden talent in the group, now that talent is not being hidden anymore!

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Which is awesome! She deserves to get the spotlight, and she certainly is getting it lately! What an amazing voice she has!💜

[@Karen-Campos]

Deep lyrics as a song of recognition to that person in your life that grounds you & helps you see when your vision is distorted. Creatively showing how our mind can play tricks on us, seeing things broken like Mitch in the glass pieces, upside down like shots of Scott, too focused in or out like Matt & Kevin looking thru glass & Kirstin surrounded by so much that it’s overwhelming. Beautiful and meaningful. Question for Ben: Is there a meaning behind the all white outfit videos... Be My Eyes, Amazing Grace and Love Me When I Don’t?

[@micheleshaw3764]

Definitely spot on about the whole distorted vision theme, and if you notice also sometimes the images are reversed, upside-down, blurry, or only partial which is all within that theme. Fun detail that is true to the best of my knowledge - their "Daft Punk" video was done on a shoestring budget and filmed in a kitchen or something like that, their record deal fell through from the Sing-Off 3, but luckily we have smart people at RCA records who recognized a GOLD MINE when they saw it!

[@pamelakefalas8495]

So happy you will be talking to Ben Bram....he is a huge part os PTX.!

[@Kristina_Rose]

Nice follow up reaction! Since you find the production interesting, it would be fascinating to interview their mixing engineer Ed Boyer on your channel. I've read an interview/article about him and how he handles acapella differently, which is incredibly interesting.

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Can you tell me how to find that interview? I would love to hear/see that!!

@@Kristina_Rose Thank you!!!!

[@EaginFoodie]

When I first listened to this song, all I could hear was Enya's "Orinoco Flow" because the resonant bass, arpeggio, and rhythm is shockingly similar. I love it, but it is so hard to unhear. I hadn't heard the vocal take clicks before, nice catch! Loved the video :)

[@uwbadger79]

Me too

[@shercahn]

Yep - that's all I could hear too 😃

[@sannalopperi-vihinen233]

I figured the Orinoco flow thing had to be some sort of a homage to Enya or something, because it can't be a complete accident.

[@denisehart7104]

Thanks Jacob ! I love when you find stuff I never noticed. Love this group, and their superb songs. Terrific message here.

[@uwbadger79]

Maybe I'm not hearing the correct clicks but I thought that was Kevin.

[@elainecourteau6231]

Jacob!! You spoil us. 🤗

[@JacobRestituto]

I try

[@cherylwilliams9360]

Another quarantine masterpiece... also an original. Would love to hear you react to COLOGNE.. (no video but well worth the listen.. Kevin is phenominal.. sounds like an 808!)

[@rondileem3111]

Never thought of that metaphor until you pointed it out! Thanks for making all these great PTX songs even more enjoyable!

[@JacobRestituto]

You’re welcome!

[@davidbangtson3109]

Boy have you been doing a lot of PTX lately and I want to thank you for this. This song is so wonderfully done and the arrangement is just phenomenal. Kirstie shines as she should.

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 my pleasure

[@bethvargas8841]

Heard the clicks now that you mentioned it lol. That was sharp! Kirstin cowrote this

[@LaurenWright2015]

Yes, heard the "water sound/click" 😁.

[@zoomlenz]

I do appreciate your technical reviews. Yes, I did hear the cuts.

[@JacobRestituto]

🎉🔥

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Ptx are so genius at all aspects of their music & videos! Very unique, clever & innovative! On top of the fact that their vocal talent is on an otherworldly level! I enjoy your reactions immensely, as you really appreciate their talent so much! Thank you!!!

[@pamelakefalas8495]

I think Kirstie wrote it.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

She did!

[@beverlykrebs4372]

PS- I think Mitch's backup vocals just make this video!!

[@billyboy4774]

I HEARD THE CLICK, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS KEVIN CLICKING HIS TONGUE BEHIND THE CLEAR VASE. NOT REALLY SURE. I REALLY LIKE THE VIDEO AND THE SONG. UNIQUE SOUND. I HAVE TINNITUS (RINGING IN THE EARS) SO I TEND TO MISS ALOT OF SOUNDS.

[@JacobRestituto]

😮😮

[@marykuettner752]

I have listened to the song on their official channel and it doesn't have that weird distortion at the beginning. I went back and checked it again just now and I don't hear it there.

[@akmalhidayat1684]

I think scott doing the baseline too

[@JacobRestituto]

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nicholeginsberg9704]

I just thought it was Kevin’s beatboxing clicking

[@esiedits14]

I can't hear the clicks :( help

[@joebarnhart4460]

Speaking of imperfection, there are two GIANT pops in "Shallow" that were like a giant flashing sign to me, but not one reactor commented on it. The pops are at 0:49 and 0:56. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX_TnJ-BmMt8a9E. You need to ask Boyer about these imperfections. They seem like a post issue more than recording issue.

[@Ginnilini]

Since a reactor pointed this out, I now always hear the loud click in Shallow.

[@bellalove2173]

Can you please react to Ptx - You da one (Rihanna cover)? 😊

[@sarabuisset9038]

Can you react demi tiktok concert it's on her ytb?

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks for the idea!

[@sarahhuysken3268]

Three cheers for awesomely informative reactions...Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Is your professional title: Musical genius? Bet that looks good on a resume.. especially when self employed (I lost the point of what I was going to say but I'll keep this in for authenticity!). If you think about, in a completely backwards and not even a thing way.. you work for me : ). Don't worry, I give amazing benefits and super long paid vacations! I'll call my company "Sarah's business LLC" (patent pending for the logo). Pay starts at as many superchats as I can fit into a live stream! #Longestfirstcommentinthehistoryoffirstcomments!

[@annh2746]

Sounds very much like Enya.

[@Nunyabizness_]

Nope, that part of Kevins percussion.

[@stankwasny56]

I don't hear it !

[@JacobRestituto]

:D

[@michaelcassidy5684]

Have no idea what you are talking about. If there was something worth fixing it would have been fixed.

[@ginawhitfield6797]

Nope Don't hear what your Hearing

[@JacobRestituto]

LOL

[@tonytaylor5218]

Just FYI, it’s my understanding that this song, written by Kirsten, was recorded by each individual separately due to COVID. That may have impact in the little imperfections you were hearing?

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼
