On Reflection

[@davehyzy]

It is inspiring to see the music of my youth have such an obvious impact on the current generation of performers. Somewhere the Gentle Giant smiles down on you!

[@doctortabby]

@@donnysarian My 11 and 12 year old sons are taking a liking to their music as well. Also, last I knew, all of them were still alive and kickin'! :-)

[@davidwasser201]

Lovely! Great to see young people appreciating the complex music of the 70s. Well done!

[@tixximmi]

Took me back to the '70s. Great job. Thank you!

[@RodM.Peters]

Impressive. Any attempt by brave musicians across the world to honour the immense talent of Gentle Giant is worthy of praise. Daunting task, to put it mildly!

[@chasmenear7130]

You are all much older now, BUT thank you, and your educator(s) for recognition of the wonderful importance of the material!

[@goransoderlund2632]

absolutely amazing Gentle Giant my heroes

[@godbluffvdgg]

:)...SUCH A GREAT JOB...the Shuman's would be proud...:)Giant fan, since the 70's...Know every note... The instrumentals add ten more levels to this Cannon...

[@paulmorelli9689]

Wow! I'm a heck of a transcriber, but this would take me some time! Nicely done.

[@KateKoenig]

It did take some time!! But very rewarding to complete.

[@DavePigott2000]

I saw them live on the Free Hand tour - wonderful rendition.

[@tommyrawlings3046]

Me too! Bravo to these young kids!

[@iosephantonivs4262]

Great! Great! Great! Great!

[@saylormalan]

Congratulations from a Gentle Giant fan of Brazil. I'm 65 old and always remember this incredible prog band. You have good musical taste.

[@delta30024fly]

Gentle Giant is such complex music, hats off to these folks for pulling this off.

[@souldreamer9056]

I really liked the evocative and reflective new lyrics you added in the extra verse. Though provoking.

[@josephgroot3119]

Great transcription, and wonderful performance! Meow Mix has a new song for its commercials.

[@dancha1593]

WOW! Great going you Four. There is hope from today's youth. Please post more when you're able. Thank you.

[@Hermannblöd]

Acapella. Wonderful. A must for GG fans.

[@robertraymondshaw197]

Not often I get moved enough to leave a message about a KZbin video, but this is BRILLIANT......Wow!

[@e-zammelectronicmusic7333]

MERVEILLEUX vive Gentle Giant!!!

[@Andrey110379]

You guys are great. And GG are just GOAT

[@andrewvida3829]

Well, I have to say I am well impressed by these young people's appreciation of music so very much worth the effort they put into this. I discovered GG when I was 15, back in 1973 and have loved this particular track above all their others, though there is nothing they have produced that does not have my deep admiration for the sheer musical chops it took to produce every note. Good for you guys and keep up the good work.

[@1ouncebird]

Here kitty-kitty. Well done guys and gals. Thanks for putting so much work into this fun version of a fantastic tune by the incredible Gentle Giant.

[@Bruford79]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

[@TheGordeaux]

amazing. this has me in tears

[@uapuat]

Magnificent!

[@iosephantonivs4262]

Wonderful! Wonderful!

[@Hopegirls4]

Well done. Very ambitious.

[@lucianisidro]

KRAZY KATZ!

[@ElZnorroOriginale]

Impressive!

[@jonnmostovoy2406]

Applauding from the computer screen. Bravo!

[@NoahShulman]

This is RAD!!! Great job!

[@tyleranaya1277]

Are you Noah Shulman as in Derek Shulman's son?

[@NoahShulman]

Sarcastic Dog yeah!

[@NoahShulman]

Yeah!

[@tyleranaya1277]

Awesome, then I really hope that the uploader sees this comment, so that they know that the son of the original singer has seen this video.

[@gatogorka]

Man, I hope your father knows how grateful I (and probably quite a few thousand more) am for the great moments I had and still have listening to all the GG music. And that he may forgive me to steal one of GG's music to include in a computer adventure game I made....

[@stanley6093]

wow !

[@maceddie666]

excellent job!

[@barchilon]

LOVE from Brazil ;) Gentle Giant lives

[@fruityfulday5441]

Beautiful and much appreciated!

[@themartinikid20]

[@agsantana]

Amazing!!!

[@Spyes23]

Awesome!! Wow, great job!

[@chasmenear7130]

The cat angle was beautiful!!!!

[@pencilpauli9442]

My goodness that was a brilliant performance.

[@TrueMithrandir]

this was great!

[@U2WB]

Nice job.

[@iosephantonivs4262]

Great!

[@massimoedaniela]

good!!!!

[@luiseduardo_ear]

Great!!!!

[@josealbinogoncalvesfilho7722]

Bravíssimo !

[@thankyoupagemagic8484]

Fantastic! Loved GG when I was a teen and still do 40 years later. Thanks for this!

[@jaryH3]

This was really good. Wow

[@thankyoupagemagic8484]

you mean 'meow' instead of wow right? ;)

[@claudioflautista]

Kudos to Kate for the amazing transcription and for everyone for the performance.

[@ggambino]

Amazing version , transcribing those harmonies must not have been easy . Excellent job Kate .

[@MrByron961]

Meraviglioso!!!

[@claudiofelman8321]

PERFECY

[@sdeshera]

GREAT JOB!

[@RichardIresonMusician]

As a lifelong GG lover this gave me goosepimples! (And a chuckle with the cat chorus😂) Awesome job everyone!🙂❤️

[@MrDeho666]

great!!

[@davin6175]

A true labor of love! Good job and great choice.

[@Clesioluid]

very good!

[@birage9885]

Bravo! The syncopations, harmonies, etc. are spot on .....I know I wouldn't want to have to transcribe this, lol!

[@hil9000]

brilliant

[@davekyle6096]

Love it!

[@davidweinstein3099]

great song by a great band and well interpreted!

[@David_Lake]

LOVED THIS!

[@fpgmec]

Uma das coisas mais bonitas que ja vi ou escutei. A grande obra Gentle Giant é impressionante. Quem me dera ver isso ao vivo.

[@pattardn]

bravissimi

[@muziekengeluid]

This is bloody amazing 👍👍 The 'miauw' variation is cute, as is the 2nd girlfrom the right 😉

[@heliodecastro9926]

GIANT never sleep. Go boy in the band

[@philWynk]

I just freaked when you started channeling Henrietta Pussycat from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. That was brilliant! And as much as I enjoy Gentle Giant, it really did improve the piece. Nicely, nicely done. Hope you don't mind, I'm saving this in mp3 for my portable music player.

[@KateKoenig]

Surprised I never replied to this. Your appreciation of the cat aspect of this performance is great. Thank you!

[@15allnite]

Difficult undertaking, but an admirable job. That's a pretty hard song to transcribe and even harder to sing. Meow????

[@boy3m]

I wish I could like the video twice :(

[@erikivanenko1305]

Life is good

[@gisellemazeika]

Amazing! Is this transcription available anywhere??

[@SuperCartiel]

Excellent! But what's with the Meow Mix?

[@periurban]

Meaow!

[@chezling]

An incredibly difficult task, and well done. How did you find out about this piece? I figured only people over 50 would have any clue about Gentle Giant!

[@KateKoenig]

Not my generation, but I was raised on '60s and '70s rock!!

[@zorbanongreco]

as they say - cream rises. and I might add shit stinks then sinks.🐂💨

[@Zachfive87]

Great stuff, I would have enjoyed it more if there was Kerry Minnear's solo part.

[@fruityfulday5441]

Miaow :3

[@noahlevin2397]

Do u have the sheet music?

[@baddogmaine]

Lovely job. But why was the time change left out? If you can handle the separate voices a time change should have been no problem. And is a key part of the original. Still, very swell done!

[@FabioCuccuMusic]

Amazing work! Is the score avaible online or for sale somewhere?

[@willyvlyminck138]

Not an easy one, congrats 🫶🏼

[@teedub9295]

Print the words next time. :) Loved it. Great job!

[@fredmila]

Now I see why I never bothered to buy Gentle Giant records

[@simonjones8111]

Starting with an “easy” track? 🤣 Full marks forgetting the essence of a very typical GG piece. First heard in 1970 on the radio, saw them live, and still listen to their albums today. I challenge you to try Boys in the Band from Octopus ❤

[@robertosolito1276]

...è un'opera prettamente maschile...non vedo cosa c'entrano le donne in questo contesto...

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Plantpots

[@davidebrunelli2781]

Secondo me, questi hanno voluto solo prenderli in giro!

[@YellowSpaceMarine]

miauw! miauwww

[@maceddie666]

Some guy below says it's horribly out of tune - wtf

[@321snoot]

Fuck that guy, Eddie. There's always one in every crowd, as they say.

[@mfedemap]

Silly meaws, but singing was good.

[@doctortabby]

I thought the meowing was a clever bit of light hearted creative humor. I like it.

[@BenDaglish]

I never thought I'd ever say this - but indeed, the only possible improvement on the original GG version would be a verse of "miaow"s...Impressive stuff.

[@kourii]

meow mya meow

[@Tuurke01]

Pretty good effort....and then the cat came in.......and ruined it...

[@jonnmostovoy2406]

Bullshit.

[@jonnmostovoy2406]

I was just thinking that it's great that people add their own bits and pieces while working with classic material. Meowing is certainly great here.

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

John, let me assure you.....meowing in NEVER great.

[@doctortabby]

I liked the cat... I thought it was fun... :-) To each their own, I suppose.

[@6stringstrum]

Well Done! So f*kcing difficult to sing!

[@petermoylan6644]

Great except for the Meowing

[@chriswakefield9538]

Cringe! The lady in the red dress shouldn't be allowed to speak.

[@Jfbmu]

the meows were very stupid

[@progressive_curve2914]

this is horribly out of tune...

[@milkandmeat]

Progressive_Curve No.

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

Actually, it is quite in tune and well done.

[@MixMastaCopyCat]

there are incorrectly voiced chords, but I wouldnt say it's out of tune

[@phlog_dog7336]

It's in tune, it's simply in a different key from the original.

[@sylvaingagnon3211]

Great!
