HE NEVER MISSES!!! | The Rains of Castamere - Geoff Castellucci | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@janetdw]

Not a GOT fan either, but from people who watched the show and other commenters I think I have this right. On the left represents Tyrion son of the Lord Tywin. Next to him (smirking) is Joffrey the grandson who is a bit of a troublemaker. In the throne is Lord Tywin, from the House of Lannister, and on the right in leather (yum) is his son Jamie, the warrior who has lost his hand, presumably in battle. You’ll notice that Geoff didn’t use that one hand, which must’ve been very hard for him because he sings with his hands. The lyrics are about a rival, the House Reyne, a realm that tried to cheat the house of Lannister. At a wedding, the house of Lannister slaughtered that house. The lyrics “now the rains weep o’er the hall with no one left to hear” is because they’ve all been wiped out. The morph section I believe is supposed to represent the never ending struggle for power. From what I’ve been able to glean it is a saga full of treachery.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Nailed it! Yes, it's incredibly bloody. The Lannisters are particularly vicious.

[@BR4IN1N4J4R]

This song was commissioned in the series as the equivalent of a victory lap.

[@Freakiehippy30]

“Your married Mortius”. I have to tell myself this (well with my name of course) every time I see the man 🫠🫣

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Don't we all?

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

I've read the books, but not seen the show. After I heard Geoff's version, I listened to the original version. I prefer Geoff's. His menace is palpable.

[@lkayh]

Yeah, he does have that “don’t mess with me” look.

[@Wildecat10]

When they found the throne in Pattycake’s storage area, Geoff said he could use that. Nice to have friends with stuff like that lying around!

[@DarthLoki]

I really love the arrangement of this with the music picking up the pace in the middle, it's consistent with the Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djwadi's style and makes this that much more impressive to fans of the series.

[@barbarabishop9362]

Interrupting my watch at the 4 minute mark to comment on how much smiling Mason's little editorial remarks cause me. There was a time (not all that long ago) when we didn't know he existed, but now he's an important (and gleefully valued) part of your videos. He's hilarious and together with your hysterical over-the-top-ness (and you can take "hysterical" in multiple ways...) he makes these videos just flat-out FUN to watch. Thanks for allowing him to come out of his secret lair, Mortius! ETA: Before I restarted the video, I glanced at some of the other comments and I note that a LOT of us find your interactions with Mason to be a delightful part of your videos. So, HAH! I'm not the only one who stopped in mid-video to say so!

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

We just hate it when people miss adorable endings (watching until the patreon list scrolls). 💜 Thanks for the reaction, thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

[@BurnsBridges]

Team Mason for the win again! Seriously, you guys make an amazing team. Once again, fantastic reaction…both informative and entertaining.

[@jaceyswainston4965]

Couldn’t wait for you to react to this one! You weren’t the only one swooning over Geoff for this one😭 Loved this reaction!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Update... Geoff is premiering his Halloween video tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 11am eastern. Voiceplay is premiering theirs next week.

[@cemstrumental]

Dude... you'd think, that a tenor like Mortius isn't capable of projecting any kind of bass and perhaps even laugh at him because of that... but then he just STRAIGHT UP HITS A G0, 5TH SUB AT 9:45!!! HOW?!?! He's a beast!

[@Guest.7289_2]

Casper Fox is a tenor with multiple A1s in pure chest D1 chest fry B0 subharmonics A0 second subharmonics These are all the main low notes *I have seen* Also that was just pure chance

[@sooh6299]

I'm giggling so much at Mason already before the music has started that I had to pause... back into it lol...

[@carinarodebak9419]

Mason and you are both killing me with your interplay and educating at the same time😄 The whole middle section is Geoffs adding to the song, genious. And who is the most gorgeouslooking, Tyrion in harnesk, Joffrey smirking, Tywain on the throne or Jamie in leather? I gather not a nice guy any of them. I've never seen GoT.

[@candilunsford2878]

Jamie/Geoff in leather is........so hot!

[@christineschutten248]

@@candilunsford2878 definitely!

[@par500dragon7]

Leather... all the way!

[@Regina316]

Hihi, Tyrion is actually decent. (I haven't *seen* any of it either, but read the books. Those are amazing, too bad the show chases fans away. DX)

[@micahyjaran]

"You're married, Mortius!" had me cackling lol

[@rulab]

Chaotic Mortius is my favourite Mortius! 💗 It's on the playlist...

[@vallynmar]

I too have to remind myself I'm married when I watch Geoff. Love your reactions/analyses Mortius.

[@DravenGal]

When this came out, I wrote “I can’t WAIT to see Mortius respond to this one!” I was not disappointed.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Great reaction as always. I love this song by Geoff. I have it on loop in my playlist so I can listen to it when I'm laying down resting or relaxing to go to sleep. It is beautiful and epic. I usually listen to it when for hours non stop with headphones on high while I'm laying down.

[@aliecat199]

Been waiting for your reaction on this version Mortius. Geoff did it so beautifully! I’ve never seen a complete episode either of the show, but I agree the music is really good. Next I cannot wait to see your next Voiceplay reaction too. 😆👍

[@reflexxuns767]

Mortius, I love your reactions! You get so animated and enjoy the videos you react to so much. You're awesome. Gotta love Geoff! ❤❤❤

[@karenponchak5304]

"That instrument in the background " *me losing it as Mortius sings a clip of bass line to Peter Gunn*

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

it’s so cool that you show your man crush on Geoff we love it! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@felicitymcdonald24]

Mortius is bisexual, it's just a crush 😄

[@mxshrxxmbxy]

@@felicitymcdonald24he is? my gaydar was correct then lol

[@MiladyMacabre]

Thank you for the early Patreon access to this reaction. One request: could you and Mason bring up the volume on the subject video a little bit? While I know this one quite well and didn't need to hear it to understand what you were reacting to, people who haven't heard Geoff's original might not catch the nuances of the harmonies with the volume so low. Thank you from the bottom of my ears ;)

[@officialmortius]

So, my new microphone is almost too good 😆 We’re still playing with the new settings and everything to make it work, it will hopefully be better soon!

[@kezmet5998]

Great artwork, even greater reaction! :D

[@letheardaw]

Menace in the king's every low note, the smirks and sideways scheming looks of the heirs.... If they remade GOT with just Geoff I'd watch it.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Just letting you know that Voiceplay Trolls came to KZbin at 11am. Very awesome video. In The Hall of The Mountain King.

[@AmandasArtChannel]

So happy you did this reaction! I couldn’t wait for you to see this video. I knew you were going to love it 😊

[@Regina316]

Hey-hey! I guess watching these is seriously addictive. XD I love how you both point out interesting bits throughout *and* don't even try to pretend your mind's not blown. Anyway the thing here is, Geoff is playing four different characters, they are all family, though. And all of them can be really dangerous in their own right, with at least two being outright bad guys. And one having been a bad guy and then not so much anymore. Anyway, the menace is real, as it should be. XD ((It still amazes me how a guy as wholesome as Geoff can act out a baddie that well. First mr. Boogieman and now *these*?!? Wow.))

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

I have never watch GoT either, but I listened to the original of this song before listening to Geoff's cover, just so I had a little bit of a reference, and I love Geoff's cover a whole lot more because I feel like he adds so much more complexity to it ❤️

[@MagicMomma]

The sass is strong with mason on this one 😂

[@ashbii7632]

Oh my gooooooshhhhh I had to hope off FFXIV to see this! So glad I did, great reaction as always, had me cackling!

[@tomaszbielak]

Great reaction, thanks! :)

[@christineschutten248]

I was waiting for you to react to this one! 😁

[@edithdavis2848]

💕💕💕 love this one Love the one on he left in leather,

[@shirleykarr560]

It's Geoff. Original song is immaterial. (Though I did go listen to it. It's a nice bass soloist. I like the version with four Geoffs better.) I've never watched GoT (too violent for me) but I've learned enough about it to appreciate the menace here. The reason there's no one to hear the rains fall on Castamere Hall is because they're all dead, killed by the characters singing this song. We've seen Geoff do serious and silly and sad and a whole bunch of other emotions, but here the menace is just ... ::fans self:: ... wow. Of course we expect his audio tracks to be awesome but he really raised his video editing game on this one.

[@MuriKakari]

If you like the soundtrack, make sure to check out Peter Barber's cover of the theme song.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Love your Iron Throne drawing. I saw your video of what you won. Very cool. Glad you won something that Cesar wore. I know he's your favorite.

[@laundrygoddess4]

M&M did another great reaction. I don't know any GOT but I loved this anyway

[@ericturner7824]

He was 'channeling'......Oogie Boogie,........for that LAST NOTE!.......>^^

[@izabellnemilindfors2566]

i saw the camera was bad at the and thats sad mortius i love your breck down and apinions see you in next video warm thanks from sweden and have a nice day

[@Bluebell_uk]

Always enjoy your reactions Mortius and Mason's 'editing magic' and notes. I laughed alot harder than i should have at your reminder of being married. Btw hope Mortimiss is well

[@kaspianocz6330]

Finally!!!! Bro

[@barbarakennedy2667]

You do not have to know the show to appreciate the video. I am sure many fans will be more than happy to give you details. Just know that the four on screen are all related, king on throne, others in line for throne.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

not king, Tywin Lannister in his stint as Hand of the King (he wears the hand pin) then with a splash of gold in clothes and a smirk his grandson bastard of incestuous affair of the queen and her brother Jaimie who we see later too in brown and with a non moving right hand as he had lost it and in armour Tyrion the imp

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Just had to let you know that I found a really funny and cute video by Voiceplay. It's an older one with Tony. It's called "The Fox" . You'll get a good laugh out of it. If you do watch it make sure you watch it to the very end. They are total goofballs 😹

[@Cordelia53]

As always an awesome reaction Mortius. Those low notes are so amazing. Please make Voiceplay's newest your next one. By the way, you will need tissues.

[@creationsbychancecan]

Geoff can put so many different emotions in his voice. I wonder if they borrowed the Throne? Anyways, I like your art, and I love when you get so gibbled that you can't speak.

[@shirleykarr560]

Yes, they found the throne in a storage space (an empty store in the mall) that Pattycake shares with other tenants when VoicePlay was in there filming Good 4 U. They don't know who owns the throne or how it got to be there. They just borrowed it for this shoot.

[@creationsbychancecan]

@@shirleykarr560 that is cool.

[@wowguy1243]

why did i expect the gta WASTED sound and text when you passed out

[@j.vandenberg3323]

youtube audio on your side was extremely soft, hard time hearing the music, but your voice was really clear and loud

[@coletedeux]

The moral of the story: never cross a Lannister.

[@Guest.7289_2]

9:34 From my ears that sounds like a D1 subharmonic (so much resonance!!) but I could be wrong 11:38 This I know for sure is a D1 subharmonic

[@Cypeters]

Great reaction 😄 Would you please post a link to your merchandise just to make it easier 😀

I've never watched Game of Thrones either 😅🤷‍♀️ Geoff once again making us melt with that unbelievable bass. He's still going to give me a heart attack. 😂

[@kiracattan4624]

Look up the original scene from GOT. KZbin has it here somewhere.

[@ze-kebeatbox]

♥️

[@b.buster.]

Video volume was still low.

[@simanova837]

music is at least 6db too quiet

[@InstrucTube]

Is it bad that from that one line I know what song you're arranging? Unless you're writing your own, in which case I'm wrong. :P Pretty sure it's "Prayer of the Children".

[@officialmortius]

On the contrary, I am truly thrilled that you recognize it! It’s my favorite choral piece of all time and I’m excited to bring such a beautiful piece to a new audience :)

[@InstrucTube]

@@officialmortius Performed it in high school, and it's one of my favs as well.

[@dwfarr]

Love your reactions but couldn’t hit the like button due to the volume distractions. Sorry.

[@tdb2012]

I have to agree with @J. VanDenBerg the audio of the song was way too low. Too bad, I would have liked to have been able to watch this reaction. Turning up the volume to try and compensate for the low song audio made your voice (or any voice for that matter) way too loud for my ears to take. I like your reactions too much to hit the Dislike so I'll just not rate this reaction 🙂
