That soft subtle run from Mitch is actually the most impactful to me.

[@darsisler6491]

I'm from the generation of John Lennon and I greatly admire your philosophies of life and music. You give this old hippie hope. Don't ever change. You are truly human.

[@thefablesphere]

❤️❤️❤️

[@cathyboyce9617]

This old flowerchild agrees!!!

[@jonas8993]

Exactly, I love seeing ppl who are ready for world peace and just improvement and love in general, there just needs to be more of us

[@melinda4796]

This one, as well!! ❤❤

[@Karen-Campos]

PTX is a true example of how people of different races, genders, nationalities, religions, & sexual orientation CAN work together, respect each other & live in harmony together (literally, in their case;)!

[@leob3447]

Not only work together, but in doing so create something truly magical.

[@Valandar2]

@@leob3447 Not only that, but have done so for well over a decade - and in the case of Kirsten, Mitch, and Scott, pretty much their entire lives.

[@joanneobremski3357]

Well said amen

[@carladewitt1947]

Really enjoyed your philosophical rant at the end. Couldn't agree more.

[@packerkats7578]

Me: How long before he turns his chair around & adjusts his headphones? Avi: Imagine there’s no heaven 🎶 Fil: Yep it’s the Lennon song. Let me get ready. Me: *chuckling* Five bars.

[@amandasamson4513]

ha ha that was my thought too. lol

[@heinleinreader]

And practically all of that first five bars was the harmonizing intro before Avi's lead turn.

[@JoSedunary]

This was actually Scott's publicly coming out video - so the signs being handed to each other are really really special... they represent themselves and then something they share with the next person.... very simplistic but powerful.

[@rh4829]

Love this because they show each of their differences right alongside their similarities.

[@wendyraymond1751]

Fi makes me cry everytime so so so beautiful John is smiling down.they did him proud ...stunningly gorgeous ...you are a special one fi thanku so much love and god bless x

[@jessegirlb]

Mitch's solo in this is one of my favorite PTX moments of all time.

[@callalily9842]

Came for the PTX reaction. Stayed for the powerful message. Beautifully said. Great reaction! ✌🏼❤️🙂

[@chyrlwillis9422]

Subbed largely because of the philosophy at the end. When you're right, you're right.

Same!

[@kmtalbot]

Yes. Imagine, then just do it. "and the world will be as one".....

[@TheInkdN3rd]

Ugh. That PTX #wallofsound we all know so well is at it's finest at the end of this one. I share it at least a couple times a month both for the beauty & their message. Couldn't agree more. This generation needs this music. So badly!!!! Love the reactions keep em coming!

[@pamelapasechnick6899]

Well said. We spend our lives trying to "fit in" . Then, we lament the lack of individuality in the world. I enjoy your reactions.

[@thefablesphere]

Thank you so much.. ☺️❤️

[@shirleyfisher8313]

Love the intro..we should step forward out of the darkness into the light!!!!

[@Sophiave]

The way you have to turn the chair around when Avi starts singing Good reaction! I would recommend checking out "Run to you" if you haven't already. It's pretty emotional and Avi's bass can be heard more clearly than in other songs imo! It was written my Avi and Kevin.

[@erinswitzer9414]

Love PTX. If you want to hear Mitch’s voice you should react to A Ha Live from Singapore at the Star Vista. It’s a cell phone video but it’s pretty good. Avi actually blows out the speaker with his voice. But this gives you a chance to react to a live performance. And yes Kevin is there he just is off stage in the beginning

[@cathyboyce9617]

Yes, it's one of my favorites!

[@mkmerth]

Yes!!!!

[@samnkacie]

Great reaction! Can you possibly look at reacting to Pentatonix’s Mary, did you know? It is so angelic and Kevin sings too!

[@thefablesphere]

We doing them all ☺️❤️ I will do it for you ☺️

[@Russ_Keith]

Ah Fil, my friend. I feel your pain. Please be aware (or beware) that this is going to be a very long comment because I am about to go off on one as happens from time to time. I invite you and anyone else who feels disinclined to follow my self-indulgence to scroll right past this at any point. I won't be offended. I won't even know you've done it unless you feel compelled to tell me and even then I won't be offended. Life is too short - although some would argue that mine has already been too long. I was born in 1949 and when this song appeared I was deep in the thrall of Hippiedom. Of course Imagine called to me. We were bursting with hope and optimism. I had hair! We were going to change the world. We were never going to grow old - or up. Until the mid-70s that is, when we were crushed by the relentless acceleration of capitalism that dragged us dismally into the "greed is good" culture that became the 80s and beyond. We took our eyes off the ball and someone kicked it over the fence. I crawled out of the wreckage of my innocence, put away my books on philosophy and religion and eventually embraced science as an alternative viewpoint. Then it all began to make sense. We are indeed mammals as you said. Just the latest branch on the evolutionary tree. We may well be the last because evolution is an adaptation to circumstances and nature whereas we adapt those things to us instead. Like all creatures we are driven by fear, hunger and the desire to procreate. Whatever else we are is subservient to those 3 things. We revere the brain because it is the evolutionary tool we possess and along with opposable thumbs it has allowed us to rise to the top of the food chain. Our brains have the capacity for imagination and that has caused us to seek meaning in philosophy, religion or art to explain or express what we are and how we relate to everything else. We are a very young species, just hundreds of thousands of years old while the dinosaurs existed for millions and they did very well without those things. If you'd asked them what the greatest survival trait was, they would have said size and strength while munching on your brain. If it wasn't for the cosmic accident of a large meteorite they or their evolved counterparts might still be here and we might not. We may well become extinct in a much shorter time than they did because of those 3 driving principles and our resulting mismanagement of the planet. I realise this seems like a very cold and joyless view of life but it is what allows me to understand and forgive the harshness and unfairness of nature, human and otherwise. Notwithstanding all of the above, I am still human. I have the capacity to react to the products of philosophy, art and religion like everyone else while not having to subscribe to a belief in them. Indeed it is a willing suspension of disbelief that has allowed me for decades to submerge myself in the beauty and power of gospel music and the blues and to be moved to laughter, tears or just pure joy by the incredible creativity of Pentatonix and their various offshoots. Finally, having explained my viewpoint on life, I have no wish to proselytize or compel anyone to embrace it. We all have to find our own path to a means of understanding our place in the world and why it is the way it is. It's just that I'm an old man who has lived alone for a long time (shocker!) and sometimes I feel the need to let the world know I'm still here and your channel seems the kind of thoughtful platform where it might be permitted. I promise not to do it again. At least not here. To anyone who has stayed the course, I applaud your stamina. To anyone who hasn't, why the hell would I say anything to you? You won't even read it.

[@thefablesphere]

Absolutely love this and I read every word. Frank needs to see this as well. Chances are he has already. ❤️❤️❤️

[@taniareads8751]

nicely put - and worth a read , stay safe and well and keep listening to PTX - they truely are a balm for the soul.

[@Russ_Keith]

@@thefablesphere Thank you. That means a lot to me. I was prompted to respond to your own impassioned reaction. I was also encouraged by a conversation I had with Frank in the comments after I explained that reading his poem in reaction to PTX's Hallelujah had finally convinced me I wouldn't ever be a writer. So I started the comment then it just became a stream of consciousness thing and when I'd finished and realised the length of it I went back in and added the rider at the beginning. Thanks for your forbearance. I didn't mean to hijack your channel.

[@Russ_Keith]

@@taniareads8751 Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@Russ_Keith]

@Frank Warner Thanks Frank. You know you're to blame.

[@thesweetone8968]

I think I you are absolutely right. I think we should recognize our differences and embrace them. We're supposed to be different. That's the way it's intended. You don't have to agree or even like others. But we do have to respect one another.

[@chrive8934]

Thank you! *Standing Ovation* 👏👏👏

[@alannaroff3948]

Such a powerful song. Okay Fil, time to start learning names. 😉 For the majority of the video they are from left to right: - Mitch (extremely high male voice) - Avi (pronounced AH-vee, original bass but left the group a few years ago on good terms for personal reasons and was replaced with Matt) - Scott (tall blonde baritone, also covers bass at times) - Kevin (beat boxer and high tenor) - Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty) Mitch and Kirstie change their looks quite a lot, but it is indeed them in every video.

[@thefablesphere]

Thank you so much for this.. ☺️❤️

[@milissaleatherwood6837]

@@alannaroff3948 I always remember because Avi standing between Scott and Kevin makes Avi look super tiny when he's normal height and they are just giants 😂

[@Sandy-be8wq]

I totally agree with your take on artistry, I've been feeling that now for a long time. You may be interested in Avi's solo work as most of it is original.

[@richtsje9961]

GREAT , GREAT reaction !! Totally agree with your comments !

[@chrismorin1318]

I absolutely loved your talk at the end. It's so refreshing to hear someone else speak up about the human race and how negativity toward any particular demographic is taught. A prime example would be to have 20 toddlers of different nationalities, religions and economic statuses and put them in a room full of toys and just let them go. They won't think twice about playing together. They don't yet know to discriminate or to hate. And then let them react to whomever is the caregiver for that room. When one of then falls down and bumps their head or skins their knee, they look for an adult. They do not care what color that adult is, or what religion they practice, or whether they are gay or straight. They only care that someone is there to help comfort them and kiss their knee and make it all better. Like you said "imagine if...." so many problems would be resolved if you treated others like a blank slate, make up your own mind. You'll be surprised that the major differences are predominantly on the outside. Practice kindness, it's a precious gift, and it's free. ❤

[@anne-mariegoyette4240]

So happy to see someone else who appreciates the true talent of this group .. they are SO gifted ! Listen to "Mary did you know" for another experience

[@cathyboyce9617]

This beautiful song epitomizes powerful simplicity ! Great reaction , I'll be back for more! And , yes, we are all in this together!

[@vivienmc5983]

Awesome reaction. You are so right regards the musicians of today and your philosophical thoughts on life. John Lennon was a very special and forward looking person. I wish he was still around. 😍💗🇬🇧

[@lengould9262]

Absolutely. Nailed it. 1) your initial observations on the "music industry" 2) the philosophy.

[@dishmurphy6539]

You’re absolutely right. John spelled it out back then & we need to hear it again. It’s even more troubling to see a lot of the hate coming from young people. I don’t get it. I always thought foreigners were cool. Maybe it because my mother is an immigrant. Idk but Pentatonix boiled it down so simply for us. Each card held differences as well as shared attributes. I hope we rebound with joy & hope and a new sense for how we can change for the better. I’d live to chill out and chat with you. I like your outlook. You speak your mind. Most importantly, you’ve entered the PTX rabbit hole. Welcome. Most of us are friendly and hopefully open minded. If I may be so bold, how about reacting to Can’t Help Falling in Love or New Rules or for an early Christmas how about Making Christmas from Nightmare Before Christmas. If you’re diving into Christmas try Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. It’s so hard to choose☮️💟😷

[@colinrichardson4490]

Couldn't have put it better, true words spoken. Thumbs up to you and Pentatonic 👏💯👍👍👍

This performance moves me more than virtually all of their many beautiful songs. Just love each component of this one. Great reaction!

[@sudf87]

PTX create magic everytime, and your words at the end of this reaction couldn't of been said any better x

[@bobfritz8705]

Every time I listen to Imagine, it brings a tear to my eyes. I'm old enough to remember when it first came out by John Lennon. Actually when the Beatles first came to America as part of the British invasion of music. But my personal attachment was because of being gay at that time wasn't accepted but with this song came hope. Fast forward to today and I agree with your comments on the music industry. PTX does the kind of justice to Imagine that it deserves! Their message is so needed today not only here in the U.S., but also in the world. I read many of the comments below, both short and long, and I too agree with their comments and point of view. I chuckled once I saw you turn your chair! Love your channel.

[@sylvieschmidt311]

[@jessicadukes2519]

I am soooo happy you did this reaction! The song is beautiful and breathtaking. (My favorite from them) And your thoughts on humanity was equally beautiful and facts! You are a great guy Fable! Love this channel. #FableSquad

[@joebarnhart4460]

Funny story -- PTX "won" a recording contract when they won The Sing-Off competition. It lasted about a month before they were dropped! In retrospect it was probably the best thing that ever happened to them. They made their own success on KZbin and, much later, they eventually signed up with an arm of the VERY SAME label -- Sony. But they proved their success and demanded total artistic control, and got it. The difference 18M followers and 4B view can make...

[@louellamoyer5578]

Thanks for this info. Interesting!

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

This music video gives me goosebumps every time, especially Mitch's little down run. I was really captivated by your passion here. I usually skip most talking on reactions, but you were spot on. Keep saying what you need to say, I won't be skipping anymore!

[@HelenWheelsUtah]

I just came across one of your reactions today and I have spent the last hour or so starting with the first Pentatonix video in your playlist and continuing through now. You are one of the best reactors that I have seen so far and you have more than earned my subscription and notification bell. You are obviously as enthralled with Pentatonix as any pentaholic is. I loved your observations about the song and about the way of the world as it is right now. I have a feeling that if more people listened to Pentatonix, the world would be a much better place. I'm looking forward to more reactions from you. Cheers!

I loved this reaction! And I love PTX! As a preschool and daycare teacher, I see some of my kiddos walking in with their parent's phone or tablet in their hand, watching some random vid or game. I am blessed with the opportunity to also teach them how to have fun doing art, or playing tag and hide and go seek, or even watching a spider or bug crawling by. There is hope for the next generation!

I know you just started on this Pentatonix journey, but I highly recommend Now United. They're an international pop group made of 16 (soon to be 17) members, each from a different country. They focus on uniting people through music and doing what they love as friends. Their newest song is "One Love" (with R3HAB) and their first one was "Summer in the City". Many of their songs have strong messages promoting love and support. Not every member is in every song/video and not everyone sings. Love your channel and your reaction style!

[@jeancaldwell5391]

Isn’t this the perfect song for right now? And they’ve done this reminder so beautifully. Your comments are so apt. The US is living proof that upbringing can lead us either down a path to good or not. The past four years here have caused such a terrible rift. It’s not that our former president caused the problems as much as that he gave people permission to act on their prejudices. I could literally feel the air lighten after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in. I have hope that we can mend our wounded nation. On your comment about the music industry pushing artists to create and do it quickly rather than well: I used to feel the same way. Somewhere along the line I realized that tons of music has always been created-some good, some not. My theory is that the good music, like cream, rises to the top. That’s the music you hear from the years before you were born. Most of the rest may have simply a short life, and more is just a flash in the pan. That’s my theory, anyhow.
