Why haven't you reacted to any more of Geoff Castallucci cover songs ?

[@davidowens1132]

I find it fascinating that so many people talk about the original as if it was a solo....it wasn't, it was a duet. And the harmonies made it stick together. Much like this one.

[@glennjanot8128]

Layne did the camerawork, Eli did the lighting, and I bet Cesar provided the coffee :D Always nice to see the other band members helping him in his solo projects

[@LednacekZ]

There are these little things like bringing coffee, that make the main protagonists perform at their best. Stand up for the little guys/girls.

[@Melisendre]

Same for me: Geoff is my favorite Bass singer and Sound of Silence is one of my favorite songs. And this cover made it right into my favorite list of Geoff's song. It is so beautifull and unique.

I just wanted to let you know that it's been about a year since I visited your channel, and you've really bumped up the quality of your production. You can tell you've put in a lot of work into your delivery and the cleaner, professional presentation of the video. Really great work! This was a great reaction and looking forward to being an active subscriber again!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Welcome back and thank you for your comment. Glad you enjoyed! 🌺🎶💖🙏

[@selkiemaine]

I think you can pretty much predict which note he's singing by what hand gesture he uses. CAN he sing without the gestures? LOL - I don't mind, but it's definitely work a chuckle.

[@steveeverett1736]

Most of the covers we get of this have a faster cadence, such as the PTX, the Disturbed and the original. I love the fact that Geoff slowed it down, so much that it sounds like he's directing the song at a personal level, right to the listener. Disturbed's cover is more about the anger directed at those who didn't listen, where Geoffs cover is the one that pulls the listener aside, to 'explain' how life really works. I love ALL the different covers of this song. Of course, after hearing this I'd assume that this back up group are the 4 Geoffs from Shenandoah, 16 tons and others

[@ronsbrat525]

Yep. That's Geoff's clones singing the harmonies. They now have names.... Jeff, Jeoph, Goff and Daryl.

[@stevegibson1147]

I loved your reaction to Geoff's version of this song. When I first heard it I thought of it as completely different feeling to the other versions I knew. I've been hanging out on this planet for quite a while now and have seen a lot of things (both good and bad), and loved the original and so had to listen to covers by artists that I already liked. Each one seems to bring its own emotions to the song. Simon and Garfunkel - This to me seemed to be a warning of where we were heading unless we did something about it Disturbed - To me this was anger that we allowed the warning to go unheeded and let it happen Pentatonix - I saw this as sorrow that we allowed it to happen as well as hope that maybe we could fight back and still turn it around Geoff Castellucci - To me this seems to fell like maybe we failed on turning it around and are standing on the precipice of the end or our society. This is just how the songs feel to me. I still haven't listened to the version by The Mona Lisa Twins (I'd recommend you check out their version of Wish You Were Here) so I'm not sure what feeling that's going to dredge up.

[@lkayh]

Yes! A Voiceplay song featuring Maggie Renee!! I’d be there for it!! Great reaction, Maggie!!

[@RuroniEthan]

Yay. Im soooooo happy you are doing new geoff and voiceplay content. Missed the "what was that note" thing you would say in every video. Lmao. And this was a stunning arrangement. You should check out nothing else matters from voiceplay.

[@dmccarthy100]

And just think that other members of Voiceplay helped with the production. Lighting, camera, etc. And Geoff truly is one of the masters.

[@jerrychubb6168]

[@Tcrumpen]

In guitar playing there is a saying that what you don't play just be just as effective (or even more so) than what you do play, this particular arrangement is a great demonstration of that saying

[@garylewis4938]

Always, always, always love your reactions. Every week I look forward to seeing something you have posted. But I have to be honest I want so much to see your reaction to VoicePlay's "Dream On" and "Nothing Else Matters". Both really shows off Eli's rock voice not to mention the ridiculous arrangement in their renition.

Loved the reaction Maggie!! I heard it described really well. The OG was the warning, Disturbed's version was the anger, and Geoff's version is the sadness and reflection afterwards. Every time I listen to this cover, I cry. It touches my soul, and I feel like a am seeing the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. Absolutely amazing cover.

[@Decontis86]

[@kmwwrench]

The original will always be my favorite, but this is on my short list of "pretty close" covers, along with the Peter Hollens / Tim Foust version and The Hound and the Fox with Adam Chance. I especially like that very low rumble that just tickles the back of your brain.

[@truthfinder4973]

Sick i did not think i a like this omg epic

[@stevewells5493]

You have got to hear voiceplay “Valhalla Calling” very Viking and I believe GEOFF hits a new low note! 🤯 At first I thought Eric Holloway was singing the bass line here who is an accomplished singer in the Octavist range. His voice is lower than Geoff’s.

Nice reaction as always Maggie. I will be surprised if you see this request but I would really super love it if you could react to Angelica Hale singing a cover of Easy on Me. She is 15 in the video and she is really amazing. She is amazing because of the health issues when she was 4, and due to those issues she ended up on life support for several days and even got Sepsis and lost the use of both Kidneys. Due to the illness she got scarring on her lungs and only has 80% use in one of them and scarring in her throat because of intubation. I really think you could never tell any of that based on her skill. Take care and keep on reacting!

[@mikenolan8044]

A really fine arrangement from Geoff. The piano and percussion worked very nicely. Only at one point did I have an issue. IMO driving "Take my arms that I might reach you" down into the basement struck me as showing off at the cost of missing some of the meaning of the song. 'Reach' and 'Teach' from the previous line need to be connected in some fashion. This is the protest against the blind blanket conformity that dominated US cultural aspirations at the time. Those lines need not be sung identically as S&G did. Kirstin sings the two differently. But there is a connected message there and what Geoff did (IMO) negates the second line of that pair. BTW I have been a major fan of this song since around Christmas 1964.Yes I am one of the 16 or 17 people (lol) who bought the Wednesday Morning 3 AM album on the first go around.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Okay ... I almost didn't want to watch this, because apparently there was first released a version with bad background. where the background mix was abruptly cut off multiple times and was horrendous. This mix was much much much better. He needs to track down those bad versions and delete them with extreme prejudice because unfortunately its hard to un-hear it, even when listening to the correct one.

[@maeco7]

How so? No shade at all if it wasn't your thing, but I always find comments like "could have done better" to be curious because "better" is so subjective. Many people love it or hate it as is, but it seems those who think it could be "better" are really just thinking it should have sounded more like the version of SoS they personally prefer (either the original or Disturbed's). One might not like his creative choices, but that doesn't mean it was done poorly or carelessly. This isn't a dig, I'm just curious because I've seen a few comments like this and it's not a criticism I understand.

[@ocon4064]
