This has to be, for me, Avi's best bass he did with PTX, he not only can hold down the bass( rumble) line when needed, he also can sing in that same bass rumble and be understood, every word. Blows my mind every time.

I was at the concert - it was a moment I will NEVER forget - THANKFULLY for everyone of the 4,000+ people in the opera house they had issues with their mics - and did this song without their microphones and someone in the front row captured it and put it up on KZbin. It went from dead silent while they were singing to SOOOOO loud during the standing ovation I will never forget that.

Check this out. Back in 2017, before he announced he'd be leaving PTX, Avi conducted this performance of "Run To You" at an a cappella workshop. Watch how he draws the music from the singers, especially at the line "how shall I win back", where he reaches out and goes up on his tiptoes. You can tell he loves conducting. (Note: before being recruited into PTX in 2011 and offered a position with the Los Angeles Opera, Avi was considering a career as a music director, and to this day does workshops and teaching at schools and universities, including the A Cappella Academy, which he co-founded. Music is literally his life (although he's said that, had he not gone into music as a career, he would have become a chef)). kzbin.info/www/bejne/roq5gaytbbZsnKs

Whether or not all members were involved in writing a song, their contract stipulated that all be credited. I call it the Lennon-Mccartney clause. From what I've heard, Kevin did the initial portion, then Avi took over and wrote the remainder (and they arranged it with Ben's help). To my ear, you can clearly hear Avi's influence in this song, and how it was almost a portend of what he would create once he went solo.

As many have mentioned they perform this true a capella style on tour. If you can find it in the backstage tour series (it was a matt tour) it's worth finding two stand out performances - one night they were troubled by protestors and you hear mitch and scott sing with such passion to drown them out. The next night they sing what they describe as their best ever live version of the song and get very emotional back stage discussing it.

Most vocal performers can't pull of dissonance like this. Two other songs without beat box that really focus on their harmonies on dissonance and resolution are 1) "Can't Help Falling in Love with You (Elvis cover). 2) Auld Lang Syne (usually sung for New Years). Both are phenomenal!
