Im not crying , its the dust in my eyes

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

Lol, it must be going around Reinhold, thanks for watching!

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Want to be even more impressed? Look for one of the videos where they sang this in concert. Gathered around a single microphone, and asking the audience to be very quiet. You could hear a pin drop... how often do you have a sold out arena/concert hall get that quiet so they could hear them sing. I think there was even one concert where the sound system failed, and they improvised, asking the audience for quiet and then sang it with no microphones at all! It went over so well, they decided to do the "single mic" (occasionally no mic!) performance of either this song or "Light in the Hallway" to a hushed audience at most of their concerts.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Here's one of the videos of the performance in St. Louis where the sound system conked out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hojSh2Zjm9p1i5Y And here's one from their 2019 concert in St. Paul (with Matt) where they did it with the single mic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4TYhpZuiN-Yo6M And another one a couple months after the original "sound system fail" where they were doing it without mics intentionally in Toronto. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJjQdoKfnpWBp68

That is awesome Bill, true performers in every way, thanks for watching and for the suggestions, I will have to watch those!

I was at that concert and it was amazing hearing them sing. I was also at the concert when they sang Light in the hallway, also amazing.

[@mmg8823]

I'm guessing that, if concerts are ever a thing again, their off-mic song will the "Mad World".

@@rocksolidreactions3901 Before being recruited at the last minute by Ben Bram and Scott for PTX on The Sing Off, Avi was an opera major, composition/theory/arranging minor in college, and was a member of a few award-winning choral groups at that college, and he'd been writing music since he was 16.

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

I had no idea they had that many originals, thanks for the info Joshua, and for watching!

[@Jsman525]

@@rocksolidreactions3901 they had a whole ep in 2015 as well as others sprinkled throught out. As well they have christmas originals (that's Christmas to me, thank you) and 2 recent singles (happy now and be my eyes) attached to their ep of originals due out in February called the lucky ones.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

"Cracked" and "Water" are also in the set they did for the PopSpring 2016 show (along with "Can't Sleep Love" * another original * and "Evolution of Michael Jackson"). So that would be a chance to see them perform it live with excellent sound quality because it was a professionally shot video.

[@elainecourteau6231]

Isn’t it beautiful when Kevin brings in a fifth note to the harmonies! I find it amazing how their 5 voices can be heard individually and manage to become one voice. They breathe together, create nuances together and hum together so well. Believe me, they are not just great singers, they are amazing listeners. Great reaction. Thank you. 🤗

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

It is almost unbelievable to know that people can be that in tune with each other, thanks for your kind words and for watching elaine!

[@ritathomas5167]

This group just boggles my mind! Think about how young they were when they all originally came together to form Pentatonix, and how incredibly talented and gifted they all were at the same time! What are the odds that 5 young people who fit all those requirements would come together at the same point in time? And that they all love and respect each other at the same time? It's unbelievable! We are so blessed to have them!

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

Well said Rita, thanks for watching!

[@robinhays4466]

You are so right about this group. They are geniuses in what they do.

[@jeancaldwell5391]

That they all happened to come together and complement each other so beautifully always amazes me too! Scott and Kirsten were 19 when The SingOff started, and Mitch turned 19 during the competition. Avi and Kevin were just a few years older than that, something like 3 and 5 I think. What incredible talent!

[@Kari89dcwb]

I'm so happy you got to react to this song. It is my favorite original from them after "Love Again". Your reaction was everything. I hope that one is soon to come.

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

I will have to check that one out randomitis89, thanks for watching!

[@Mahiahtree]

This IS the original! It's so beautiful. You know we would never steer you wrong. I knew you would love it, it was confirmed as soon as you heard Avi...eyes went back in your head! lol. It's it crazy how that creshendo is almost overwhelming and your brain almost can't take it, but it's so awesome and you're like yes more more! Great reaction, RSR! I hope Black is the Color of My True Love's hair by Peter Hollens and Avi make it on your "to do" list. Because seriously, it's Avi! ...and it's amazing bassy goodness. Hope you had a great holiday!

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

Thank you so much Lisa, I agree with you 100% it is almost overwhelming at times but in the best possible way! Lol “amazing bassy goodness” you are too funny, I keep hearing that name, might have to give it a listen 🎧

I always break down in sobs by the time this song ends. Light in the Hallway does it to me too.

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

[@jeancaldwell5391]

One of the things that has always stood out to me, and that distinguishes them from so many groups, is their exceptional use of dynamics. You were so right to notice and comment on this.

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

It’s just amazing the little things that they do that change the whole feel of the song, right in the middle of the song no less. Thanks Jean!

[@lachimiste1]

I watched a reactor do this one after losing his young son, and it was *so hard* to watch him try to keep it together during the last verse. I still get teary whenever I listen to this song, on his behalf.

[@Spaceydoodle]

when you see the leaves "falling" upwards, they had to learn those parts backwards for the video, so it looks like they are singing forwards...if that makes sense haha

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

That’s crazy!

[@berlyn3014]

so glad you said that. I was going to say it.

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

Another example of how dedicated they are to the quality of what they create for us! If they were just talented, we'd still like them, but their hard work and dedication to their craft is part of why we love them ;-)

[@bethvargas8841]

I am scrolling down the comments to see if someone had mentioned it. And you did! Because if there's none, I'd comment it haha!

[@kathyastrom1315]

I believe this was the first time they demonstrated their amazing use of five-part harmony. They’ve been doing it a lot recently (at least twice on the “At Home” EP), and it gets me in the gut every time.

This one of my favorites. When we saw them in concert they came out and gathered around one mic and just sang it. You could have heard a pin drop in that arena everyone was so carried away by it. Breathtaking.

I am super jealous Pam, I hope to get to see them in concert at some point, that sounds amazing!

[@Sophiave]

To hear Avi sing some solos, you need to react to Light in the Hallway or Standing By! They're both originals and Avi sings lead, which was a rare thing while he was still in ptx

The Pentatonix effect - leaves you incapable of speech and control of the most simple actions, staring into space with a grin on your face. We've all been there. Welcome back. Writing, performing like angels, and singing backwards, is there no end to their talents? Other original songs you might like to check out - Love Again and Can't Sleep Love (live version at Popspring 2016). Very different vibes to this one, but still great.

musical training like military training allows you to have situational awareness lol i can hear each part only because of my training. a weird side effect with me is that i can have a conversation with someone in a sound rich enviroment and be totally aware of every sound voice except the one talking to me i find if its in my face i have a harder time focusing on it because i was trained to blend my sound with the ensemble and hear every part to fit mine into the tapestry
