The amazing part to me is that Voiceplay brings in a featured artist and they all fit like they have been doing it forever.

[@Gael4ce]

To be fair, DeeJay has quite a bit of experience with them. This is like his fourth? maybe fifth? with them. I know a total of four off the top of my head, but I feel like there’s one I’m missing. And…he’s a pro and a half. 😁

[@ilonadever8249]

So I don't forget, they do shorts/minis and one of them was Crazy. You would love it. Geoff is doing solo work while staying with Voiceplay. VP and Geoff usually produce one cover per month. He and Layne have been singing together since middle school and professionally since 1997. Eli joined them around 2010. Cesar joined 2 years ago. You are correct, all of them are and have been soloists, but they choose to sing together and they are amazing. Even more amazing is that they can bring in someone from outside and all sound like they've been together forever. I love Voiceplay and will ALWAYS be here when you react to them. Thanx, guys!!

[@milomurphy9178]

VoicePlay's attention to detail even to the costuming is amazing. The Beach Boys albums featured them in matching outfits. For this video each member dressed accordingly to five specific album covers.

[@Wildecat10]

Layne envisioned this song as the room being the one each of them have in their homes where the record and are creative. In addition to their arrangements, their attention to the look of the video helps make them distinctive. This was filmed in Rayne’s Room Recording Studio. Owned by Layne, they have filmed many videos here including ACA Top 10s and Chandelier. When Layne dressed the set he included items for each VoicePlay member, Deejay, his daughters, his grandmother (the jewelry store sign) and his wife’s family. Items he added for himself included his violin, his hoverboard and a book of his favorite Disney movie.

[@joymed987]

It's actually a room in his house

Might want to fix the spelling error in the copy paste

[@wh15p]

The notes at the end are an Aeolian Cadence (as some people call it) or a flat VI - flat VII - I progression 😁

[@christinestromberg4057]

Geoff and Layne were singing together in middle school, they're the best of friends and well used to working together. Everyone they take into the group is carefully chosen to fit in, not only vocally, but in character, and to make sure they work well together. It took them something like two years fo find J.None after Tony left, and now of course he's gone to sing with the navy, but they managed to find Cesar very quickly.

[@carmengagnon881]

The jewelry sign used to belong to Layne's grandmother. She owned a jewelry store.

[@randiskye4444]

They did "Crazy" as a mini. Glad you guys liked this one, I think this one felt very smooth and calming. Love your reactions!

[@alashandra]

Love you guys' reactions! You noted the stuff in the room, which Layne arranged with things that represented members of the group (the piano was Geoff and there was a Hamilton book on the piano because DeeJay is touring with the show right now). The Jewelry sign that you pointed out belonged to Layne's grandmother, who owned a jewelry store. He'd been wanting to use it in a video, so this seemed like a good place.

[@archashencmaa9937]

LOL!! I really enjoy watching yall. You guys always put a smile on my face! Great job guys!

[@kimmelvin866]

I’ve spent a lot of years singing with groups. I won’t say any of them are anywhere near as good as Home Free, Voice Play or Pentatonix by a long shot, but I know how satisfying it is to build a chord with voices. A solo artist is, by definition, a bit one dimensional. There is only one voice, and it can be a bit lonely. When you put a group together, it’s something more, especially when you are the one to bring in the unexpected note that makes the chord special or adds tension to a line through dissonance. There’s nothing like it. You can’t get the same effect with instruments alone or accompaniment. Only voices can create those little moments that make singing together so exciting for both singers and audiences.

[@ronsbrat525]

Great reaction guys. 2 of my favorites. Milo's sweet tea and sweet tarts. I even have a tattoo of a heart with wings and Sweetart across the middle. My daughter and I drink 6-8 gallons of Milo's sweet tea every month. Layne's grandmother used to own a jewelry store. That sign was in the window. Everything in the room pertains to each person, Voiceplay or the era. The room is one of his daughters that she turned into a studio.

[@Mia200001]

Geoff actually does have a quite successful channel with his solo work. You might want to check it out (if you haven't already). Some truly breathtaking performances.

[@CJ_536]

Was coming to echo this. He is dedicated to VP first, but actively works on solo work for KZbin, too. Love everything he does. Bet these guys would appreciate the production effort in ain't no sunshine.

[@Mia200001]

I seem to remember them reacting to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen at one stage, but it's a while back and reminders never did any harm 😅

[@chrisbateman5358]

Great reaction (as usual). Love the bro-banter that you guys continually have. You guys rock!

[@sandrastorer5628]

In 60's and 70's you could get single giant Sweet tarts. My candy of choice, lasting several days.

[@ericturner7824]

Always a great reaction....i like to see you guys really appreciate Voiceplay....for all that they do, will do, have accomplished,.......they have contacts in the genre, to get 'guest' or featured artists....their contacts can be seen in their fundraising video Sing!.....past and present members of voiceplay since the 'early' days.......>^^

[@marycrawford6251]

Please do a reaction to Tim Foust's cover of In My Room. He does all the parts and is so close to the original.

[@par500dragon7]

Just love this! Great reaction, guys.

[@lkayh]

Great reaction, guys!! I’m glad you’re checking out Voiceplay. Side note: Never mind the sugary stuff-I haven’t seen someone use dip since I was a teen in ranch country. Stop that! LOL.

[@erintroyer]

Nice! Now do Tim Foust's rendition in which he does all the parts. 👍❣️

[@chrismorin1318]

100% Agree!

[@janetdw]

I grew up listening to the Beach boys and Motown and somehow they introduced a little bit of Motown into this one. Love it when DeeJay comes in and he was very restrained this time. Minimal riffs, but oh so pretty. Very different from the original and now I have two versions.

[@loucatozzi7656]

One of the room decorations that is easy to miss is their one million subs plaque from KZbin on the left wall!

[@karengreene6284]

Enjoyed your reaction.

[@chuckmccaslandsr.8859]

Excellent cover of the original. I remember it from the mid 60s.

[@vickiadkins9844]

This is good!! Tim put In My Room out about yr ago!! Only his voice!! It's incredible!! Check it out if u can!

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

Loved the reaction, really enjoyed it. This was such a lovely song and the lighting/room decorations made it just perfect.

[@grizzlypower660]

Thanks for the shout out guys!! ☁️ thanks for the laughs!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Great reaction guys as always. I saw the Beach Boys in concert several times in the mid and late 80s. They were awesome. Loved this song then and love it now. Geoff is working on his new video right now. Should be out soon. We haven't gotten it on patreon yet.

[@rhov-anion]

Deejay's voice is so smooth, and those runs! I wish I could have seen him in Hamilton.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Have you guys reacted to Dirty Loops? Three world-class musicians playing together and LOVING it. If you haven't, listen to "Work Sh*t Out, or Follow the Light (with Cory Wong), or World on Fire.... all of them solo, and make you crave more.

[@billsturm9225]

I've always thought you boys were pretty That descending run from DJ fallowed by the group Staccato was amazing.

[@vvoof2601]

Note to self, start practicing my song with a click. Thanks for the tip boys!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Milo's Sweet Tea is good. So is their peach tea. But their extra sweet tea is another matter altogether. I like sweet -- hell, I used to eat sugar cubes -- but their extra sweet made me want to die before I could stop myself gulping it down. Ugh! As to this rendition of In My Room, it's the only one I ever liked, and that's including the Beach Boys and Tim Foust from his do-wop album.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I should make the bitter correction. Milo's Peach Tea seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. Another favorite gone into the void. Dammit!!!!

[@mommamelody4109]

Milos is the closest to southern sweet tea that you will get out there. Unless I'm there to make it. lol

[@dawndagger8753]

You may get a kick out of this, but then you'll know my approx age lol My sis and I had a babysitter who knew Brian Wilson. We lived in Redondo Beach, Ca. in the 60s. Our babysitter took us to Redondo Beach pier and we ran into Brian. He was a shy but nice guy. Even though I was young, I knew who he was, as my parents had Beach Boy records. Good job as always guys! Catch you next time. DD

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Geoff released his new video Friday on KZbin.. "Sound of Silence". It is absolutely beautiful. Voiceplay released their new video on patreon a week ago. We'll just say "Pinocchio". Pattycake Productions released their new video on patreon Friday night. Different Cinderellas throughout the years.

[@MatthewDeanIreland]

Just for fun, have a look at Tim Foust's solo version of this.

[@StephanieGraham0129]

Great reaction! If you like DeeJay, you should check out VoicePlay’s versions of Bang or Butter! Also, you should check out Geoff’s version of Ghostriders in the Sky! It’s amazing. 😊

[@bjspeck4337]

Probably need to watch Butter a few times because there is so much going on.

[@StephanieGraham0129]

@@bjspeck4337 yes there is. I had to watch it at least 5 times before I caught just about everything

[@randiskye4444]

GRITS is awesome! Geoff hit that one out of the park!

[@davidwiger6024]

FYI Home Free does a cover of Crazy.

[@bjspeck4337]

Did you like the crickets at night? What's crazy is that it doesn't matter who is brought on to position 5 - it's all great and gives them a lot of extra diversity.

[@raycardy4843]

Hi Guys! Did y'all misspell 'SUBSCRIBE' on purpose in the logos on screen near the start...? LOL

[@paulastephens2640]

Have you listened to Tim Foust's version from his Pieces of Me album?

[@Robert.Sheard]

As someone ancient enough to have grown up listening to the Beach Boys, this was terrific.

[@vickitucksen7363]

Geoff has lots of solo(multi part) releases check out Misty Mountain

[@SBQDawn]

Have you seen Tim Foust's version of this song?

[@ericpetty8387]

Don’t sleep on Ren.

[@debragonser745]

I have a hard time comparing it to Tim Fousts cover of him doing it by himself. I am trying not to be biased, but I have to go with Tim. But they are really good

[@CJ_536]

I think Tim's is closer to the original ... More like a true cover...and this is more of a tribute to the original so it is very different. They are both great musically but feel different. I think that's why people have a strong preference for one over the other. I prefer this one, but I understand why many prefer Tim's.

[@debragonser745]

@@CJ_536 you may be right! Voice Play is very good and I do really like them, but I think Tim’s is just more my style

Hey Chis and Matt, this was once again a beautiful cover by VoicePlay. And I like the tangents you go on... 😀 If i may suggest an artist, how about some Ayreon if you aren't familiar with that project yet. I have a feeling you guys might like it with your background in music and recording. I'd suggest the song "The Day That The World Breaks Down" from the 2017 album The Source. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c) The song features all 11 singers of the album and the video has text pop-ups with background information on production, the singers and the story. There are live performances too, but the linked video is a good starting point.

[@catherinemillroy7487]

React to Geoff Castellucci new video for The Sound of Silence. I think you will enjoy.

[@Staggerine]

please react to nightwish-Ghost love score ( 2nd time requesting)

[@robertdocholliday66sadler]

i love voice play but this one is not one of my favs , maybe because I am a huge Beach Boys fan and saw this in person when i saw Beach Boys in 1985

[@hwyla4416]

Got to say, I'm the opposite. This was probably the one Beach Boys' song I didn't much like. I found it boring, even tho' it had great harmonies in it. But I love this version. That staccato in it gives it so much 'drive' and rhythm I found lacking in the original. (They were my first concert in I think 1973? or so. I was about 15?). But different folks have different preferences.

[@momD612]

Well. Now you're ultra obligated to do Tim fousts version. It's much better. 😉🙃🫠🥰🥰

[@evalu3369]

No, it's not. It's a copy of Beach Boys.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

To me, Tim's version is the most agoraphobic thing I could imagine - which is very true to Brian Wilson's intention. As a result, I'll never listen a second time. This one talks about the beauty of having your own space where you're free to be creative, be yourself - a very positive spin and one I thoroughly enjoy. The point of covers is to push a song into something other than the original, or push it further. Both Tim and VP did that, but in very different ways. Choices.
