Pentatonix - Dreams (REACTION)

[@igman3878]

Yes it is The Cranberries! They recorded this song from each's home because of virus quarantine and yet they still sound like this!! They are incredible. Love your reactions and your enthusiasm. It's a pleasure to to how much you enjoy music. Keep it up. Thank you.

[@danielcarter837]

They were touring in Europe when the pandemic shut everything down. They made it back to America and went to their respective homes and made an EP called Home. I think it helped keep the Pentaholics sane.

[@cazlaming]

Actually they didn’t make it to Europe, they were about to but they had to postpone until next year, I was going to go see them in London but they had to postpone until at least next year or when Covid either calms down or goes away, they had just finished Australia and New Zealand before things with Covid got out of head and countries until to shut down

[@milissaleatherwood6837]

OMG he really should react to "Home". He would totally love it!

[@SamZapadinsky]

"This is one of my favorites" is a statement that almost every reactor says no matter HOW MANY PTX videos that have experienced!

[@YahushasDisciple]

Recorded the whole album separately. At HOME. How. It’s beyond me. They typically would sit around and pick out parts and riffs for hours and hours... this is really amazing..

[@danielcarter837]

Pentatonix probably uses silence and or spacing better than anyone. They do it well in Hallelujah, Amazing Grace and Imagine.

[@jmwangi24]

Also in "When the party's over"

[@ziggymadison3488]

You are by far my favorite reactor! Thank you for actually reacting and bringing a smile to my face. 😊

[@shilohauraable]

I love The Cranberries! Delores' voice was like no other - and Mitch pays tribute to her beautifully! 💖

[@lexymich3647]

They always make songs better then they were in the first place. They always do this. It's like suspension in a roller coaster at the very top.

[@Karen-Campos]

Love your reactions! Mitch was the one who loved this song & he certainly delivered the vocals! Can’t wait for you to hear O Come All Ye Faithful! It’s a version like you’ve never heard before! Their original That’s Christmas To Me is heart warming & full of smiles!!

[@jeannietaylor4968]

Yep, desperately waiting for him to drop O come all ye faithful and I'm sure he will enjoy 'That's Christmas to me too :)

[@risacornette7636]

Definitely agree with listening to Oh Come All Ye Faithful. It will change your world. This song is by far my favorite song on the At Home album. The harmonies are majestic and pure and Mitch’s solo portion is beautiful 🤩

[@callalily9842]

Man I love watching your reactions. You have quickly become my favorite reactor. I love this song. The harmonies. Mitch's yodel singing like Dolores (RIP 😢) is on point. And Matt's killer bass. They did The Cranberries justice. 😍

[@traktician]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much. That means the world to me. Thank you

RIP Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan

[@courtannptx]

I love this whole At Home ep...I still can't fathom how they did it...arranged over zoom, recorded individually and then filmed individually at their own homes. The songs all sound incredible! Love this reaction 🤩

[@chrive8934]

Fabel: This is my favorite. Reviews another Pentatonix song. "This is my favorite." 😂

[@kevinwells4986]

Let's just admit it. Listen to a Pentatonix song, and that is your favorite. Listen to the original song, that is your favorite. They kill it on every song they do. Besides that, I think he was referring to preferring it over the original. But, there's room for everyone - the original Cranberries song was great. Nobody can do that song like they did, and for sure nobody is doing the song again like Pentatonix did.

[@chrive8934]

@@kevinwells4986Exactly. 😂

[@amandasamson4513]

tha's how I am too. every time I hear a cover

[@queenofgreen83]

Speaking of Hans Zimmer, you definitely need to react to Scott Hoying (Pentatonix) and Mario Jose performing a cover of LP's Lost on You using Hans Zimmer's Time (from Inception soundtrack) as the accompanying music. It. Is. STUNNING.

[@shaunmccarthy6279]

Scott did a cover of LP's "Lost on you" is layed over a Hans Zimmer piece. They fit together perfectly!

[@Mahiahtree]

I love that cover he did with Mario Jose. It's amazing!

[@rokmyworld88]

This is SO GOOD, highly highly recommend!!!

[@Cassandra6]

I love that one, even put it in my playlist

[@YahushasDisciple]

We have all been begging Fil to cover it!!!!.... LOST on YOU is sooooooo amazing.

[@peanut8400]

Yes yes yes. Since you love Hans Zimmer you need to check this out.

[@manuelodonnell1148]

You're absolutely right about those vocal rests, and how they affect the emotions. PTX normally use "wall of sound" in dramatic spots in their arrangements, but this time, almost the whole song is WoS. It would be utterly overwhelming without the rests, in my opinion, and I find myself breathing in sync with them by the end, because I forget to breathe while they're singing, and only breathe in the rests.

[@graceito973]

The fact that they recorded separately in their respective homes during lockdown and still sound this amazing is mind blowing!! 💖😅

[@slashh1458]

Love your reaction! Maybe it's time for they second Grammy's winner, The Sugar Plum of Fairy, Christmas song winning Grammy, rare case...

[@traktician]

Added to the list ☺️❤️

[@graceito973]

They've won 3 Grammys so far!

[@elysebaker7368]

PTX consistently proves that simple and perfectly done is a formula for long lasting success. Their formula is the best but NEVER predictable because of their uniqueness and creativity 🇨🇦

[@tylergirl1970]

They performed Amazing Grace live at the Rockefeller Center tree lighting last night. It's shortened and skips the middle verse for time, but it was awesome.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

I was screaming when it skipped Mitch's verse, but I get it. I was still sad, though. It was gorgeous, though.

[@ahbrightside]

It was awesome but what was not awesome was them cutting Mitch’s part out 🤦‍♀️

[@tylergirl1970]

@@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer True, but I was cheering Kirstin on and she nailed it.

[@jeannietaylor4968]

Hi Fil, I was shouting (as I'm sure we all were) The Cranberries - this was my daughter's fav and she had it on repeat....like all the time. It was done to pay respect to Dolores O' Riordan, the lead in the Cranberries, who recently passed away. Once again PTX doing more than justice to a song whilst being their thoughtful selves - the Cranberries video was similar to this, again PTX paying homage to the artist. Check out the original if you have time in between making us all happy. Just LOVE your insight and energy when you react. You remind me of a small child who has just been given a really big present - thank you for making me smile :)

[@eriklarsen206]

Everything they do is amazing, and another representation of their musicality brilliance for interpretation is their cover of Papaoutai.

[@martycullison4095]

I am old enough to remember when the Cranberries came out with this, and I loved it. But like you, PTX did something special with it, they Pentafied it, and made it something new. Yes, better, Stronger and more heartfelt. Between Matt's low base sounding like an Organ to Mitch's yodeling, it was just perfect. There are about 5 reactors on here I love to hear, because your reactions makes my 2020 just a little easier to take. You are one of them. Thank you for being here for all of us! There are two songs I need you to do, SING this is one of their originals and it will totally lift you out of a dark place and make you smile. Also, HAPPY NOW another original (recent) that will have you turning that chair backwards.

[@maryanngrisham5182]

Loving your reactions. You are absolutely right about the unbelievable impact of the pause. You must watch their performance on the Sing Off (but do them in order). Their performance of Born to be Wild was the first time I saw the heart-stopping impact of the pause. Every time I rewatch it, my heart still goes over a cliff, as you say.

[@rmac1042]

PTX did this in isolation. Each member was filmed in their individual homes then each recording was edited into the finished video. Amazing!

[@Bonofox1]

PENTATONIX is just SIMPLY AMAZING!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!💓

[@louellamoyer5578]

They did this in quarantine and then sent it to Ben Bram to edit and record, so they weren't together. How can they do that? unbelievable! They thought of a way and succeeded, They bought special mics for individual voices and reached out by phone to make these songs. They put an album together called HOME. An EP during a pandemic!!! Amazing to say the least! Sometime would love a reaction to Wizard Of Ahhhs, produced by Todrick Hall... Back story: They were friends with 'Todd' in High School (Scott, Kirsti, and Mitch) so when Todd called PTX responded. A different take on, Of course The Wizard Of Oz! Interesting and talent right there! Hey Thanks .. loved the reaction. Stay safe and warm!

[@Sonja_Phillips]

Agreed! I prefer this to the original as well... but I feel that way about most of their covers. Thank you for the great reaction!

[@colinrichardson4490]

Each one could be an stand alone artist in there own right, bring them together and you get craftsmanship in vocals of the highest level 💯Phil as always appreciate your reaction 💯👏👌👍

[@danielcarter837]

The ending of Dreams reminds me of the beginning of Amazing Grace.

[@rebeccamunoz2948]

I love your excitement with PTX, welcome to the fam ❣️🎶🎶

[@dianad3080]

I love your reactions and commentary. Your enthusiasm and appreciation for great music is just a joy to watch. You are definitely one of my favorite reactors. Thanks for sharing and take care and be safe. 😊

[@dinaleitao1890]

Os Pentatonix são únicos...pegam num tema e tornam-o melhor que o original...são mesmo fantásticos!! SL

[@denisehart7104]

Cranberries, and Dolores passed away in 2017. Gorgeous voices and lovely harmonies. Thank you.

[@mamajenkins1981]

"This is an old song" *Cries in Older Millenial* LOL j/k I love your reactions and I love that you're officially a Pentaholic.

[@davidbangtson3109]

I've only heard this once before, but it blows me away, or should I say that PTX's harmonies blow me away. Such a nice song and amazing performance. Love it! Your comments were so astute and enjoyable, for which I thank you!

[@larrywt656]

Due to the pandemic, all of the songs for the At Home album had to be recorded separately at each member's houses without the benefit of hearing each other...and yet the harmonies are still PERFECT!! This is the very dictionary definition of talent.

[@lindaaumiller7592]

Hey Fable 10 10 10 Pentatonix has never let me down nor have you. stay well and be safe.

[@katyciula3715]

I loved their version of this song. And to think they did it individually in their homes because of the covid lockdown, and it came together so beautifully. For their Christmas songs, Oh Come All Ye Faithful is a must.

[@peggyhill1513]

Another great reaction! I agree that PTX always makes the song better than the original. Scott and Mitch with Superfruit covered The Promise by When in Rome and they made it sound so much better and I love the original! Thank you again for your great reactions. I'm glad that you are doing all of Pentatonix because you are a great reactor.

[@lauriedaiken4426]

The original is one of my favorite songs...and I absolutely think PTX elevated it! Another awesome reaction - thank you!

[@Langley_Ackerman19]

You singing along with them made me happy! 😁

[@UserHorologium]

7:22 so what you're saying is that you like the sound of silence? There's a PTX cover for that... 😉

[@elainecourteau6231]

They always make me rediscover and love all the songs they cover. This song is so lovely. Yep! You were right! Lol. Good for you. 🤗

[@user-onlyGodknows]

Never say this is my favourite, they always do better next!

[@lavalampdancer]

I agree that this song is just transcendent!! I felt almost every song on the Home album hit HARD! Have you reacted to Blinding Lights or When the Party is Over? Sooooo good!!

So incredibly beautiful really quite moving absolutely loved this an love your breakdown of this,beautiful masterpiece thanku so much love and god bless x

Mozart felt silence is as important in a music composition as the actual tones. And he was sooo right! As a composer-jazz pianist I use this principle in all my work.

You have to hear them perform; "Mary, did you know?"

[@thestarkster9940]

PTX's version is like if Dreams and No Need To Argue had a love child. The sustained long note Matt does at the beginning is very much like No Need To Argue. Such a beautiful rendition of a classic.

[@jeniferrosenberger827]

Favorite reactor! Always fun to watch you appreciate Pentatonix. Check out the "Evolution" videos. They are incredible. Check out Evolution of Michael Jackson. All done in one take just the 5 of them in a room.

[@JemUzumik]

Cranberries😭 missing you Dolores! Everytime that i hear this, PTX its stunning🙏🏻

[@katyciula3715]

For excellent use of pauses, try their version of When the Party's Over.

[@dishmurphy6539]

Don’t know about anyone else but I was telling you Thur my iPad that you were right. It’s serene & since we lost Dolorous recently I can’t say this is better but I’ll give you a just as good? Idk. Pentatonix consistently improves hit songs with tiny budgets & little to no instruments. Scott’s Thank You song just reminds me how grateful I am to have found (and am now obsessed with) PTX. You’re fun. I like your reactions. Their Home mash up from the same release is fun too. They recorded these from their own homes because of the pandemic. Besides Kevin, I don’t think any of them had any technical experience. Kevin probably knew the technology before it was invented, he’s so smart & talented. Mitch was perfect in this song. He really captured Dolorous’s almost yodel for lack of a better description. You don’t sound like you need energy but if you find yourself dragging a bit, check out their original song Sing. It’s quick & it picks me up on my worst days. Otherwise, anything PTX, yes please☮️💟😷🎄

[@lexpope]

It is the cranberries.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I enjoy your reactions soooo much. You’re so passionate.

[@chrisfriday4582]

I love your PTX reactions. They are the best. 2 songs you need to react to... especially because they really demonstrate their ability to create dynamic contrasts in their arrangements, would be "Mary Did You Know" and "Say Something". Both are amazing and Kevin boxes and plays the cello in "Say Something". I hope you'll give them a reaction.

[@chelliespider]

The perfect example of how they use those breaks/silence can be seen in their cover of "When the Party's Over", also on the Home EP. I hope to see your reaction on that too. Love your appreciation and how you break down things. Also saw the Halestorm review on IG, and Lzzy Hale is freaking badass. On top of all the cool stuff she does with her band, she did a collaboration with Lindsey Sterling (who also has collaborated with Pentatonix) on a song called "Shatter Me". Lzzy Hale has also done a few things with Amy Lee of Evanescence that are just breathtaking. Female powerhouse voices of perfection 👌

[@lexymich3647]

This song is my absolute favorite and absolutely every one of their songs I mean amazing Grace is of course amazing but this song but they could do that without hearing the other person and harmonized that well and the engineer could put it together that well and then the videographer could do it that well sorry they were the videographers the video person that puts it together I can't think of the word could do it that well makes this my absolute favorite and I do not think anything will ever taught this for me. I'm so glad that you hit you as hard as it hit me because Lord help us but they were doing the separately not one of them heard the other one singing and they harmonized better than they ever have. So I can stop repeating myself I'll shut up now. Thank you for doing this so much. If I ever need to calm down I always listen to this song.

[@susansisson366]

Okay, Seasonal songs and carols -- You ARE going to do them, no?Anyway, here are my three favorites: (But you knew I'd request my favorite holiday songs, didn't you?) #1 -- Christmas Eve. This is an amazing song, written by one of Japan's most famous songwriters, that our guys sang once and once only. They took it, gave it the PTX polish, sang it once live, and never touched it again, which is a shame. It's fabulous! #2 -- The First Noel, with Avi singing the lead all the way through at his most gorgeous, and the arrangement is outstanding, sort of like Hallelujah. #3 -- No video, but still mystical, magical -- The Coventry Carol.

Hey Fil. I'm going to do something I normally avoid which is to repeat what others are saying but in this case I think I have to: you are my favourite reactor. I make fun of your angst-filled rants sometimes but you know what comedians always say - you only roast the ones you love. Those rants are what make me feel I've found a spiritual home here among free thinkers. Usually I steer away from the concept of favourites, preferring to think, no, I'll just have them all thanks. No need to choose. I'm an 'and' person, not an 'or' person. But in your case I'll make an exception.

[@Mahiahtree]
