I never really liked this song. It always gave me stalker incel vibes, full of frustration and possibly anger. As a confirmed introvert, I really love this introspective questing feel to this one. Cesar’s voice, when it breaks on the word “cry” always gives me chills. It has become a favorite. Eli killed this arrangement and the guys took it and just soared.

[@ilonadever8249]

This arrangement is all Eli. Geoff and Layne have been taking turns for years, with Eli doing the occasional. They have added him into the rotation so we will see more from him. He did an arrangement of Eleanor Rigby that is gorgeous. It was done shortly after their long time tenor left.

[@laundrygoddess4]

The way they performed this changed the whole tone of the song. The original was kinda creepy

[@patriciaschuman4205]

Yeah, the vibe I always get from the original was the guy getting increasingly angry instead of hurt as the song went on. Yeah, I know that hurt often generates anger, but I really prefer VoicePlay's spin on it.

[@heatherarmstead]

The sadness in Geoff's eyes gets me every time

[@Anna-pu5fo]

Oh yes, always wanna give him a hug and tell him everything is going to be fine.

[@annepinkerton6280]

I'm an old lady who loves good music! This song surprised me ... I didn't expect to like it but I was wrong. IMHO, it's much better than the original! Love your reactions!!

[@user-pk9zw8zb7b]

Congratulations ! You've been able to analyse, and even explain, the different elements which make this cover so unique. Most of us only knew we wanted to cry (and probably cried too) just listening to it. Now you can understand the need we have to hug Cesar tightly, because he's suffering so much, the poor little thing...

[@karinwolf9639]

That cover really got to me... and it also broke some reactors. So sad, so desperate... and so well done by VP. I really like your reactions on VP.🎉❤

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

I absolutely loved this arrangement. Eli made such a heart string ripper (We're way past tugger on this one.). I cried for a week. Thanks for the reaction/analysis, I really enjoyed it!!!

[@heatherarmstead]

The version of this by Postmodern Jukebox ft Hailey Reinhart is very different but also well worth a watch :)

[@thisismetoday7423]

The juxtaposition of you singing in your proper opera voice and then saying dude always makes me laugh. 😂

[@johndandrea8034]

I've listed to many reactions to this somg by Voiceplay, but because of your analysis I "HEARD" so much more and learned a lot.

[@bjspeck4337]

This piece is done by Eli and Layne. Geoff thought a mirror would go well so Cesar ran home and brought back his mirror. It is stunning. How many of us felt like that especially in school, trying to be like the other kids? It takes a while sometimes to find that you are special.

[@kathrynmenzel2615]

I think it was Geoff and Eli. If you look in the notes it says arrangement by Eli with some assistance by Casa Castellucci.

[@Flammeification]

​@@kathrynmenzel2615Geoff provided the concept of the mirror. The musical arrangement is all Eli.

[@MaggieatPlay]

I did not appreciate this song until VoicePlay did the cover. Thank you for reacting to/analysing this video. So appreciated.

[@jimjacobs322]

Their version of Blackhole Sun is so good. You need to check that out.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

I was actually stunned by this performance. Every time I listen to this, I notice something else. And Cesar bookending it is perfection.

[@solbringer2483]

Your passion for music is absolutely infectious

[@eriklind8489]

I loved Radioheads version, and VP knocked it up a couple of notches.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I got the impression of a sweet guy who has just been rejected by a girl he was really in love with, but she abused him, calling him a creep and worthless as she left. He is devastated.

[@judydavis7993]

This is my absolutely very favorite Voiceplay cover. They took this song to such an amazing new level for me. Anthony's voice in this is so magical and emotional. ❤🥰

[@DravenGal]

Oh, cool! I'm so happy you did this one! You made my day! Thanks! Question: Have you ever watched Elizabeth in The Charismatic Voice? She's awesome, lovely, smart, learned, and fun. Every time Geoff hits a low note, she gets the cutest giggle! But beyond that, she knows what she's talking about, and expresses it clearly and interestingly. So kinda a female version of you. She reacted to Voiceplay's Classical Chaos yesterday, and said a lot of the same things you did. She's a vocal coach. I think a collab between you two would be EPIC! Just a suggestion, I think you'd have fun. 💙

[@virginiakay1428]

They are masters of emotion!

[@patriciaschuman4205]

I am so enjoying your reviews! As someone who loves musical theater in all its forms (including opera, I am so thrilled to live in an age where I can go to a movie theater and watch a live Met performance), I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea. And I can understand why some reactors find VoicePlay's exquisite theatricality not to their taste. What I have a bit more problem with is the reactor who complains about how they don't like how the individual members often get a chance to shine. When you have this group of great singers with fantastic technique and expressive voices, with the ability to project a very unique tone during their solo spot and yet 'disappear' into harmony, or rhythm/bass in the background when needed, who wouldn't want to utilize them to maximum effect?

[@christinestromberg4057]

When Anthony started singing you reacted as I do. His voice really affects me. I guess their acting and emotion along with the singing is rather like opera. Not that I've ever seen an opera but I think there are parallels.

[@kirstenwyatt9675]

This song manages to capture the sob storm of 3 am self critical thought. Your reaction, and analysis, both helped me appreciate this all over again!

[@rebeccarose7405]

This is so emotional and it always brings tears to my eyes. I dislike the original version, but love this one and Post Modern Jukebox's version with Haley Reinhart! And you should consider doing some PMJ! ❤🎶

[@EtherealForever]

A completely different take on the original. Fresh and beautiful (and relateable). Good job Eli! 🌹🕊

[@umarae27]

So resonating. So real, so beautiful.

[@DravenGal]

I'm so glad you loved it! I think this may be my favorite reaction by you. "Tender" is a great word. It's emotionally draining (hence my suggestion that you bring tissues) and completely relatable, we've all felt this way at some point in our lives. Cesar with tears in his eyes at the end, gets me every time! And Anthony is amazing, a real gem! I guess that's why his name is pronounced "Gar-Jewel-lah." And he's done a full treasure chest of songs and shorts with Voiceplay! EVERY one of them amazing! 💙

Sorry for this comment, but I love opera, so have I seen you in anything at all?

[@goodeveningstories]

I've performed for various opera companies in Los Angeles pre-Covid alongside recital pieces in Germany around 2015 and performances at the Soraya Performing Arts Center from 2014-2017. I haven't performed publicly since 2021 though.

[@ingemojonsall3402]
