Pentatonix Run To You Reaction

[@Leylahsong]

Kevin and Avi wrote this... my heart.... wow!

[@danielbutcher5836]

With KO singing, the harmonies can be more complex, which results in that dark, haunting feeling. This one cuts me deep every time I hear it.

[@maybeeamyy]

You can never have enough Pentatonix 😜 And no matter how much I listen to this song, I still get goosebumps 😵🖤

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

Don't worry about too much PTX, there is no such thing. I love your PTX and Home Free reactions. Especially this one. A really great original mostly written by Avi and Kevin. Now you have to do their original "SIng" for something a bit more upbeat.

[@LadyAyumiMusic]

Love Again too is another one of their originals that is more upbeat (more in line with Daft Punk vibe wise

[@momma0f5]

i love Sing. i listen on repeat at work. lol

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Kevin and Avi wrote the first draft and brought it to the group to work out. Those two guys are amazing. Well, as is the whole group.

[@davidbangtson3109]

Surprise, surprise, another one I had not seen before. So very sweet and calming. Beautiful harmonics as usual. I also love it when Kevin gets a chance to participate in singing as well as any beatboxing that he does.

[@janetranslates]

"Enough Pentatonix. Have a word with yourself, mate." I laughed so hard I missed the start of the song and had to start the video over! Perfect! There's so much I could say about "Run to You" but everybody needs to know this one amazing fact about the video. Jamie Antonelle has already mentioned it, but I'm going to move my reply to Jamie up here, to be sure you don't miss it. Did you happen to notice how the confetti is sometimes falling and sometimes rising? It's true. The confetti falls down through the verses, but drifts back up during the choruses. To make that happen, PTX learned to lip-sync just that phrase--"I'll run to you"--backwards. And that's how they filmed that part. I don't know where I first heard the story, but somewhere in the depths of the pages of comments on the PTXOfficial vid there is a post from Bill Hale, a Grammy-winning music producer who has worked with PTX (and also with Nota, the a cappella group from Puerto Rico who won the first season of the Sing-Off). Mr. Hale confirmed the story and gave more details. Just to be sure, I found his website and got an email address and wrote to him, wondering if it was really him or just somebody using his name. He wrote back and confirmed it all. So, this legend that is a favorite among Pentaholics is completely true!

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

:D I just love people with the inside story.

[@Anastasia-fj2zi]

I'm noticing a pattern of everybody who just wants to watch one or two Pentatonix videos ends up binging them, me included. Not even just on youtube, all my friends do it too. I mean obviously they are insanely talented and work better together than any other group I have ever seen. But I think it's the warm, genuine, and loving vibe you get when watching them that makes them so likable. Once you take a step into the hole that is PTX there is no climbing out. Trust me, I'm living proof.

[@kristinhowk8231]

You heard two more originals the other night during your mini-concert: Love Again & On my Way Home. Their originals show their diversity and varied musical influences, as all 5 members contribute. Run to You was written by Avi & Kevin. Between the heart-wrenching lyrics and the beauty of the harmonies it has caused SO many tears.

[@Celticdragon-vd7ds]

Their harmonies and simple set make this as beautiful to watch as it is to hear.

[@jcs1025]

This is PTX at their best. Beautiful harmonies.

[@mariethemagnificent2000]

It punches you in the heart. I prefer their stripped down versions because the harmonies are so luscious. The lyrics are so beautiful.

[@xxcris20xx]

Kirstin and Kevin's harmonies in the end were so goood! They all killed it!

[@megmc5683]

Now that’s MUSIC! WOW! I totally agree! They should sing more originals!

[@davidcochran6291]

Almost immediately you know this song meant something to all of them. There was a sense of urgency and conviction in their voices. I am always amazed that this group can, after a blitz of their music, still grab us by the (insert your adjective here), and leave us grasping for words to describe what just happened. I'll admit that at times there is so much new and exciting artists and musical styles coming out. It only takes one song to remind us that we can never again let this group go so long between listenings. I appreciate your reactions so much, because they are genuine and most definitely heart-felt. Until the next time.

[@allybandy3047]

That one still gives me full body goosies.

[@x0Vinny0x]

Listening to their harmonies feels like wrapping a warm blanket around my soul.

[@jenniferyoung8551]

agree with other commentors that Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, and Love Again are some of their best originals. However, my most favorite original song/video is Sing. 2nd fav video is Can't Sleep Love. What I love about Sing, is that they had fans send in clips of themselves singing the song and they incorporated some of those clips into their video. At the end, they got a lot of their fans out on a pier and filmed them just having a good time...great concept and loved that they included their fans. and also agree with you that you can NEVER get enough Pentatonix...that statement you made proves you are a true Pentaholic!!! Love it :)

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

One of my absolute favorites. Fun watching you experience it.

[@jjudithsawyer6628]

They do everything perfectly.

[@WisToc]

This is balm for the soul

[@jessiestout703]

Absolutely loved it. Definitely one of my favorites. I had to have some tissues to dry my eyes when I listened to this. Great reaction, thank you.

[@januzzell8631]

Breath-taking ... every time I hear it

[@rapturesoon6567]

THIS SONG/PERFORMANCE HAS LEFT EVERYONE SPEECHLESS & BREATHLESS!!! EXTREMELY EMOTIONALLY DRAINING...❤❤ 🥰👍🥰

[@denisehart7104]

A gorgeous original, with their stunning voices. Thank you.

[@kathys6402]

I have to agree, Pat, this is one of my favorites by PTX as well. Actually, I think it IS my favorite. Hauntingly beautiful it is. Thanks!

[@johnnaliggett3625]

The harmonies are so beautiful. I love the 3rd verse so very much in this song.....enough PTX lol..they have a whole self titled album of originals and a couple on most the others

[@trinkab]

YES!!! They have other originals Avi and Kevin wrote Show You How to Love as well as Love Again, Kevin wrote Natural Disaster (on an airplane), then there is THEIR ENTIRELY ORIGINAL ALBUM called "Pentatonix" and Cant Sleep Love (HUGE HIT!!! got radio play and not because of Christmas) and of course That's Christmas To Me, Good To Be Bad...and sooo many more! SuperFruit (Scott and Mitch's KZbin channel -Check out Defying Gravity, their Frozen medley featuring Kirstie, and their "Hip - Hop Goes Broadway" series!) has a Double Album of originals called "Future Friends". They just OOZE talent!!

[@pentatonya1778]

When you close you’re eyes.... I feel you! Thank you soo much! 🤗💚👍

[@cathyboyce9617]

I agree, this is simply beautiful

[@bill.godwin-austen]

In addition to being a moving and beautiful song, it's one of the rare cases of not doing a "rhythm section" with Kevin's beatboxing and Avi's (or Matt's) bass, but rather beautiful 5-part harmonies... this was probably the first song where Kevin had a significant singing part (he has a really nice tenor voice, which they've used much more often, although usually in smaller bits... he was very prominent in "Imagine").

[@anessalyn1035]

There are just no words as to how beautiful this is ❤️

[@TheCha0sL0rdNurgle]

This was my first introduction to PTX. And it was one of the last songs I did with my University Choir... This has such a special place in my heart. It brings goosebumps everytime.

[@pequeninok1918]

You reacted like other people hahaha! You heard the first melody and don't get to say anything more! This song are just amazing!

[@jhowe67]

"Standing By" and "Light in the Hallway" are among my favorite originals they have made. And Avi sings lead in them.

[@freadadillon4071]

Brilliant harmonies. And yes, I cried.

[@kristaflair3176]

My favorite of many favorites of Pentatonix.

[@ankhgirl3]

Kevin has such an amazing ear for harmony. The minor notes he hits just sends me over the edge. Brilliant!!

[@lorriepriddle8604]

That was soul rattling! Love it!!!

[@itrugater]

I remember my first time watching this. The rush of emotions. My body literally reacting to how beautifully dark it is. I just kinda stared off and contemplated crying lol

[@klayers1555]

So beautiful....and it breaks my heart every time.

[@amywiens9845]

No worries you can't ever have enough PTX or Home Free in my opinion. But love the reaction, beautiful song sang by amazing talent - it is definitely a favourite!

[@Lozza2993]

This is my favourite ptx song and I definitely want it played at my funeral because it's just so beautiful

[@jessicathomas9935]

I think they're original album is my favorite. Some of my personal favorites from that album are Mis Behavin, Cracked and Na Na Na, but all of them are wonderful

[@markbell4017]

Completely agree. Cracked is my fav, though, and you can't leave out Water... So beautiful.

[@rondileem3111]

I love New Years Day!

[@whoami.24601]

Can’t forget Light in the Hallway!

[@bartlettje]

I didn't realise PTX wrote this. I love this, I'm always weeping with emotion by the middle. One of my absolute faves.

[@kimberlypryor9440]

Not sure if you’ve ever seen the video for their other original called Can’t Sleep Love but it’s FANTASTIC!!!

[@christinamorris1594]

This is my #1 favorite of all of them.

[@jamielane3371]

They have done many originals over the years, and released an original album in 2015. Can’t Sleep Love is one video from that. Cracked is another great one, but you’ll have to watch concert videos or tv appearances to see that one. They also have a documentary of the tour, On My Way Home, on Netflix.

[@geraldgoyette2676]

there is many songs that I listen to from many different artists and I cry and not be ashamed to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rlhcat7662]

Loved your reaction! It's one of their videos where the mood just overtakes you. An interesting note - During the chorus when the snowflakes are going up, they learned to say the words backwards, and then reversed the video and sang over it. The chorus only has four words so it wasn't too hard, and it's an interesting effect. This song was written and arranged by Avi, who studied opera composition in college. I don't know if you've reacted to "PTX Aha! Singapore The Star Vista" (filmed by Shane Nicole) The choral part at the beginning of that one was also from Avi.

[@marygraham1959]

Love your reactions, Pat. I was so excited for you and envious when you got to go to a PTX concert! Never can be too much PTX! This is one of my favorites. Am American (Ohio) but thus far haven't been fortunate enough to attend a live performance. Keep enjoying! Stay safe and healthy!

[@Launibu]

Never too much Ptx! Love it. I love this song, it's so beautiful.

[@jeantonelle]

You should also do a reaction to Light in the Hallway. I believe it was written by Scott, but they all agreed to have Avi take the lead. They used to close their concerts with it that last year Avi was with them. I think I recall reading somewhere that they had to learn to sing this backward for the video, the way it was filmed. I could be wrong, but I think I read that somewhere.

[@Sandy-be8wq]

I've heard the same thing, it had to do with the confetti going up not down if I recall that right.

[@jeantonelle]

@@Sandy-be8wq Yeah as I recall that was it. I forget where I read it or saw it. It might have been in one of their interviews. But I did recall that.

[@Sandy-be8wq]

@@jeantonelle I want to say another reactor. It was a passing comment on how they figured it out. My memory is not the greatest lol

[@janetranslates]

You're not wrong. It's true. The confetti falls down through the verses, but drifts back up during the choruses. To make that happen, PTX learned to lip-sync just that phrase--"I'll run to you"--backwards. And that's how they filmed that part.

[@misslorr2507]

Love love love pentatonix they are my people!! And love watching people react to them because they are out of this world talented and have such a huge following.... keep it up! I'll be watching :)

[@shirleyujest7786]

I agree. This was a stripped down, moody piece that showcased everyone's voices and shows off their incredible song writing and musical arranging talents. It's always nice to hear Kevin sing. I really like their covers but man, their originals are amazing. Loved your reaction, as always.

[@kikimo57]

the blending of the voices is epic !

[@lauraa4294]

Can never get enough PTX, hence the term, Pentaholic, lol. Glad you liked this one, it's not for everyone, but personally I love it. It's beautiful. Looking for something a little more upbeat? Their original, "Sing" official video is great! Loving your reactions.

[@lisabaker4051]

Gotta love it. Love your honest and pure reactions. Can't get any better!

[@InstrucTube]

Yeah, this one and Imagine will always get me in the teary mood. The only word for both of them I can come up with is poignant. It's just amazing what they can do when they really put their mind to it.

[@briannarichardson9511]

You should know by now, no one is ever ready. So just sit back and let it happen.

[@sharonhodder8972]

Keep the Pentatonix coming, loving it. I love Run to You, was listening to in my car today on repeat.

[@lynneschmitt6]

I couldn’t agree more. Avi and Kevin are both geniuses, so if they wrote it, it is almost guaranteed to be great. Thanks for the review!

[@marygraham1959]

Lighting the Hallway - original lullaby. Scott wrote it for his nephew.

[@sherrythomas6850]

My favorite song by them

[@sherryspivey5991]

My fav of their originals.

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

One of my favorites. Most likely because Avi and Kevin wrote it. Sung beautifully by all of them. Thanks for sharing and sorry it took me a year?!?!? to see this on your channel! lol

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

Love how they continue to surprise me - this one was particularly beautiful :-)

[@mecfstraveler]

In a recent prequel of PTXPERIENCE World Tour #0, they all mentioned that they're making new music for a new album, but even more exciting is they're making original music! I don't know if their next CD is going to be nothing but original music, but I am thrilled that they're making more original music! "Light in the Hallway" is an absolutely beautiful song that Scott wrote (with some help from Mitch) for his first nephew when he was born. They never made an official video out of it, but it is easily accessible. I'll tell you how in a second. First, they performed it in concert and they'd come off the stage and stand close together in a semicircle like a traditional acapella performance. in front of them, dwad-center there would be one microphone on a stool and beside that a lightbulb 💡. They had no earpieces in and no individual mics, so the audience had to be extremely quiet. One fabulous thing about Pentatonix fans is that they have total self-control and each audience became absolutely silent so that Pentatonix could hear each other and the audience could hear them. Scott wrote it with the intent of Avi singing it. And it is beautiful! There are many uploads from fans of this song being performed in concert on KZbin. It's also on their self-titled album. You've just got to check out "Light in the Hallway" !

[@SoulConversationsWithImaraPei]

Aaaahhhh!!! My fave PTX song!!! Thank you ☺️☺️☺️ Love your reaction too.

[@PMJonte]

They have a whole album of original songs - which does include three covers to keep to their roots - but they proved right out the gate they are more than just a cover band. They are a talented group of musicians. They even have a couple of originals on an album before that. This particular composition has Avi's fingerprints all over it. His compositions are easy to indentify. It was executed with masterful precision. They flawlessly applied crescendos and decrescendos, perfectly in-sync dissident chords, and equal passion. There is a reason we are called Pentaholics. And we are our own support group without a problem to solve. My only problem is figuring out how the fuck they do this. FEED US MORE!

[@mjbsen]

My absolute favourite Pentatonix song and they wrote it!!! I wonder if they still sing it with Matt? So emotional.

[@corvus1374]

Can't Sleep Love is my favorite of their originals, but they're all so good.

[@CutleryWonder]

The harmonies in this are magnificent. I really want to sing it myself but the a cappella choir I'm in hasn't gotten to it yet.

[@anniekirby9082]

Beautiful! That's all, just beautiful !

[@TheChihuahua83]

This is one of my favorite PTX songs. It makes me think of my daughter who doesn't hardly see me due to parental alienation by her father. It makes me cry every time i hear it :-(

[@kimberlydunlap5577]

Now this one made me cry!! I love this group!!

[@pleasantnezumi4909]

I think you would like their "Light in the Hallway". It's lovely.

Wow! Queen and PTX the same day! Thanks so much...

Light in the Hallway is another original one done onstage and all five join in the vocals.

[@jennsweeney70]

Never enough of PTX!! Scott wrote Light in the Hallway when his nephew was born....not a studio video...a few live but Another Amazing Song!!❤🎶🎵🎼❤

[@jennsweeney70]

Avi sings Light in the Hallway!

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

Absolutely incredible.

[@joatkins9793]

Two of my most favourite things - PTX and Manchester United. This song is amazing, great reaction

[@jeancaldwell5391]

I love your reactions! I had to watch it as soon as I saw it was available. Thank you for this.

[@UserHorologium]

Pentatonix is working on their second full album of originals right now. (Their first album of all original songs--save one--came out in 2015.) This song, however, was written earlier (it was on their EP PTX Volume II, in 2913). The new album will be released sometime after they start their world tour, and some of the songs from the album will be performed first on the tour (an inducement to see them live, as if that was needed). They've only announced the first leg of the tour, which is in North America, but I am sure that they will be announcing future legs. Their first world tour, in 2016-2017, had seven legs and spanned 17 months, including four shows in Australia and one in New Zealand. Pentatonix has quite a following in Australia, so I suspect that they will include it in their tour.

[@ArcadianRuin]

Mitch absolutely /nailed/ that breathier "run" part. Having sung that song for choir before, it's a /very/ difficult switch to get right. You have to hit it just right or your voice breaks and it sounds super ugly with this type of song. And he did it multiple times in a row! True talent in this group

[@susanpeterson9947]

I thought that was great use of dissonance, much more than I’ve ever heard them (anyone?) use before. One of my favorites for sure. 💙

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

You are spoiling us with all the content. Thanks! I love it all.

[@lovingtheglovedone]

Goosebumps...again. Love me some PTX!

Love your reactions, and PTX are well known for covers, and I know you want to see more original stuff but you will be thoroughly entertained by their cover of White Winter Hymnal...

[@taniareads8751]

Never too much PTX! Love, Love Avi in this.

[@aliyahmckoy9154]

You should check out more of their originals a few like this are Take me home and Light in the Hallway. Some more upbeat ones ate see through, misbehavin, new years day, rose gold.

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Never enough PTX!!!! Seriously. . . they have an entire album of mostly originals. I love the chord progression in the bridge -- absolutely incredible. Trust me, this is very difficult to do acapella!!!! They are so incredible blessed with talent!! God bless them!!! 💖💖💖🎵🎵🎵💖💖💖

[@hoolahoops2112]

They are realeasing a new original album this year! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@gracieladuarte1267]

Never too much Pentatonix 😄 I always love your reactions to them❤️

[@jenniesue8129]

Seriously glad you are loving PTX so much! We pentaholics will never complain about “too much PTX” in a row because that isn’t a thing! 😉 As for their originals-you should check out “cant sleep love” and “love again” which are both a pleasure to the eyes and ears!!! Also some of the videos from the “live concert” video you created are magical as well. Can’t ever enjoy the evolution of Michael Jackson enough, or the Aha video is fun (but Mitch doesn’t go near as high in the video as his live in Singapore version) and really anything else the do. One of my personal favorites is Radioactive (by imagine dragons) Ft Lindsey Stirling-AMAZING! Hope some of these find their way into your reactions-I’d love to see how you feel about them too!

[@monksuu]

Up next: SING! (Also an original as you can see from other comments.) This is one of my favorites too!

[@lisarodmell1935]

I love this song so much 💙 You should totally check out their live version of this in Berlin - it’s unbelievable!!!! They sound so beautiful and you can really hear Kevin, which I love!
