Reacting to Geoff Castellucci 'Song of Durin' | SPOOKTOBER

[@josephlarres7451]

Awesome reaction!! Thank you for featuring my music in your intro :DDD

[@galadballcrusher8182]

So.... To explain, this is a poem written by J. R. R. Tolkien and is sung by Gimli in second book of The Fellowship Of The Ring. Not heard in the movies. It describes how Durin the first of the few original dwarves created by Aule (one of the Valar) woke up and named the area around him before becoming forefather of most dwarves and first King. Therefore is fitting that Geoff dressed as Gimli and sings it in Balin's tomb in Moria and the ghosts of 4 of the dwarves who had went with Bilbo in the adventure in The Hobbit appear and sing it with him.

[@Spectralyzed]

Also, musically, it was composed by Clamavi de Profundis (plus Geoff's own adjustments, obviously), a group that does a lot of "dwarven" covers/compositions.

[@artemislunanettybecker8641]

Wow! That is too cool! I like you paid attention to those details!

[@ilonadever8249]

I See Fire was so good, I didn't expect to find this one even better. Oh, and Voiceplay drops Be Prepared on Friday.

[@rildain76]

Agreed, this is definitely one of his best solo arrangements yet. I couldn't stop playing it for a couple days when it first came out. He doesn't hit the lowest notes he's capable of, but the range and the harmonies take you on an epic, spine tingling adventure.

[@Darthtanos]

he doesn't need to hit those low notes because the song is just so utterly beautiful. and honestly the restraint is part of what i love about this, he's just in a range he's completely comfortable with so you get that warm, dark, buttery tone in every character.

[@joyvanderveer2282]

The artistry and talent displayed in this video have made it my new favorite of his. He is just so incredibly talented!!! WOW!

[@FLNatureGuy]

Let's go SPOOKTOBER! Geoff was sensational!!! Yes, one of his best. Musically outstanding!

[@kingscrub3386]

Man, knowing the lore and seeing the different dead dwarven men with Gimli, in Balin's Tomb, good enough to make a grown man cry. :)

[@EnsembleStantePede]

He had grumpy 60 year old me literally in tears at 9:59 😢, no easy feat. The man clones himself to 5 dwarfes, because he has talent enough for 5 ordinary people like me 🤪

[@charliereader3462]

Having read the Silmarillion, the line about Nargothrond and Gondolin always gets me

[@kingscrub3386]

@@charliereader3462 I've not read the book yet but I know what you mean

[@Guest.7289_2]

Geoff just gets better and better every video 👏

[@raycardy4843]

This was amazing - did you forget you've seen 4 of these characters before in 'Over Misty Mountains Cold' and 'I see Fire'...? 😉 From the description: "Song of Durin" appeared in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but it was only a poem when Tolkien wrote it. The music for this song was inspired by Clamavi De Profudis' melodic interpretation of Tolkien's poem. Look them up!

[@desireecox9358]

Love the reaction ❤. Thank you for my smile today.

[@dorisg.3]

😂😂You guys are so funny, great! Geoff still puts a shovel on it...I love him and his talent! ❤️‍🔥🙏

[@DavidGant-k1h]

Hello Ladies, I am loving your reaction to Geoff’s Song Of Durin.Great to see you all again, and seeing how much fun you are all having.Brilliant 😂

[@annabanana2764]

I love this cover!! Cannot wait for your reaction on ,,be prepared" by voiceplay. We are all so not prepared 😆

[@harrietengle9707]

A great early kickoff to Spooktober with a haunting song from Geoff! Love your reactions, and I always try to get to yours first!

[@barbarakennedy2667]

You will be shaken by the beauty of this haunting performance.

[@tomaskennedy]

Geoff referenced Durin in I See Fire and I’m pretty sure that was from The Hobbit, so this is probably a follow-up.

[@hunterblair]

I watched the the whole music video when Geoff Castellucci released it I loved the video great reactions Kaz

[@DravenGal]

Great way to begin spooky season! This one is so great, took first place actually. And funnily, he doesn't even go super high or super low in it. Oh, and shouldn't that be "Ka-oz" with Kaz?💙

[@christinasahlstrom6234]

After Jack’s lament this is my favorite! Great reaction ladies! It was fun to see all three of you together reacting to Geoff👍❤️

[@MickeyBroome]

Careful Kaz This time Voiceplay is warning you to Be Prepared.

[@PawełKrysiak-j8m]

Its nice to see your reaction for new Geoffs fantastic video 😊. With love from Poland (sorry for my english)

[@candilunsford2878]

You know how you always say you're not prepared? You really won't be when you hear their Be Prepared version with an assist from original member Mykal Kilgore--like For the Love and 4:2:Five original member.

[@Jaezrar]

You should see 'Be Prepared' that was recently uploaded by Voiceplay! He plays Scar ;) Loved your reactions 😂

[@Spectralyzed]

I was already a fan of Clamavi de Profundis' version of this (the group that composed this particular version of the song), but this one also feels akin to his "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" cover, which is also one of my favorite of Geoff's covers.

[@rhov-anion]

LOVE seeing you three together, triple the joy. Happy Spooktober, and what a perfect way to start it. I agree, this arrangement is one of Geoff's best solo pieces. It's haunting, the harmonies are a masterclass, and it almost makes you wanna dance in your chair or at least rock along to the beat, and then ALL THE CHILLS. Kathy outdid herself with the makeup. They are such a power couple.

[@karenponchak5304]

Rick Underwood did the makeup Kathy did most of the costuming 😊

[@lukedaniel2024]

Loved the reaction!!! Not sure if you did already, but you should definitely react to "Colm Mcguinness Songs of Durin" aswell....it was AMAZING!!! I can guarantee, ALOT of pens will be thrown 😂

[@SouthPawBowler24]

Enjoyed the reaction, yes Geoff will cause an earthquake with them smooth low notes.

[@jeowanyvalenca7244]

Awesome Spooktober intro! Kudos from Brazil.

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

You ladies are kooky, great reaction!

[@MrTwistedFrenzy]

you should definitely check out Colm McGuinness's version of Song Of Durin. He features Jonathan Music and Bobby Bass so you know its gonna be deep down low.

[@jesse2535]

I wish Geoff would do a voice over for a video intro in his bassy voice

[@MohamadNadi]

Hey, Kaz, I love the reactions as always. If you think this version was crazy i highly recommend the cover by colm mc Guinness

[@Robert.Sheard]

Spooktober bringing the damage... can't wait for Be Prepared.

[@GigiC4]

Spooky season is my favourite season of the year and there's no better way to start than with a LOTR ballad by Geoff.

[@KazandraBrock]

That was epic.❤❤❤

[@tschlaak]

I love your shirts. Have you watched voice plays classical chaos video?

[@nightthornkvala94132]

They probably don't have the right material but watching this video makes me wish Geoff and/or VP did their own version of Home Free's Vault videos.

[@pontu_com4586]

Don't know if already commented about it, but please, PLEASE, *PLEASE!*, react to Bobby Bass, Colm Mcguiness and Jonathan Young sing this song (Song Of Durin, in that case) just please! They deserv the reaction, it's so much power!
