Thanks for watching y'all. This was so fun to arrange. Shout outs to the nephew @Myles Erlick for the epic cymbal kick! Tag some your friends that will appreciate this.

[@kellydavidson5140]

Don't ever stop, much love

[@happaleef9705]

Hey, just a small thing i noticed, for africa, in the chapter bar for the video you guys put "Todo" and not "Toto" the band, not sure if you want to change it but i thought i would point it out :)

[@FathomFrequency]

That cymbal kick was fantastic!! 🤣 so non- chalant

[@Para__Noia]

Wait a moment. That's not the same nephew myles that did the tiny dance cover back then, right?!?! 🤤🤤

[@goose7218]

He was in your first viral video wasn't he?

[@JoeSireno]

Friggin incredible. I’m a 71 year old guy sitting here with my 8 year old grandson and we’re both singing along and loving every bit of this amazing group. When you can get two guys 63 years apart to share the same music… that’s one phenomenal group.

[@xmas395]

There were fans of all ages at their concert when I saw them in Toronto.

[@selenaellamoon]

I’m pregnant and my baby always dances to Walk off The Earth in the womb lol. They’re amazing ❤

[@alexandragatto]

Seeing Beard Guy peeking out between Joel and Sarah really got me in my feels, I doubt it was an accident! I'm thinking that blue heart hanging off the neck (in the position where he stood during the original Somebody That I Used to Know) is a tribute to Mike too. I was in the audience of the very first tour date they played after his passing and fans started a campaign to print out hundreds of blue paper hearts and distribute them through the crowd to hold up in remembrance of him. It's been almost 5 years but I know he'll never be forgotten. Huge shout-out to the band for always keeping his memory alive!

[@truehare]

I managed to watch the whole video and not see Beard Guy there until I read your comment. You made me watch the whole video again to check it, so thanks for that!

[@wimvancraen9173]

Where where where??? .... Found him! 😁

[@elleamigo4980]

there's a Beard in the studio... ( photo of him at the back) ... love you guys! like all you music,genuinely genius talent!

RIP Mike ❤️

[@malcolmgeldmacher4998]

I didn’t even see that until I read this comment! Thanks for pointing it out!

[@gfour21]

What the heck? These guys are impressively talented. Each of them is a multi-instrumentalist singer, and the arrangements are also very nice!

[@PaulineLagonda]

And a dancer too

[@colesuqs]

They really are, I've been a fan for years and the amount of random ass instruments all of them just casually master blow my mind every time!

[@ragingfiip]

Maaaan... you guys starting off with "Somebody That I Used to Know" took me back! Back to when I (and so many other Wotelings) first discovered you guys with your first viral video. All these years later, you guys are still killin' it with the incredible musical talent, skills, and creativity. Amazing video, as always!!

I got chills on the high harmony in "Alone", and then at the start of "Africa" when the two were sining the same octave and notes exactly, and you could only hear the timbre differences.......**Chefs kiss** soooooo well done.

[@dlo111]

Absolute perfection!

I gotta say my favorite part of this video is how everyone got a bit of stand out vocal time. As a harmony you all are amazing but hearing each person individually gives me chills. You are all so talented!

[@switchrox670]

Incredible as always. Your harmonies are so in sync it blows my mind. Glad to see Tokyo's hip movements from the concerts have infatuated the whole group!

[@davidozbone]

Joel's voice is so unique, I can't get enough of it! It sounds like he has compression on it when he sings naturally, its just so smooth and savage! Love you WOTE!!

[@haydenreynolds]

AMAZING WORK! My dad introduced me to you guys years ago, and I’ve basically grown up listing to your music.

[@willj1598]

Never have twelve song covers sounded so original. Not just a rare instrument but a rare talent.

[@CH71S]

For the love of everything in this universe, please do a full version of "Alone". That gave me chills.

[@logan_theking9409]

I haven’t been able to watch a video since beard guys passing. He always made me smile every time you all posted. Now after all this time I come back and I see his picture in the back with the blue heart on the guitar. It reminded me that we never truly lose people…ever. I loved this so much and I needed to hear it after a good day. Thank you guys for being there for people. I’m definitely going to go back and see all the greatness I missed while I was gone. Thank you for always being there guys. Seriously.

[@HarmAndEase]

Another reason why you guys are the GOAT! Thanks for believing in our music and taking us under your wing!

[@walkofftheearth]

Thanks boys! Congrats on the new album and the top 10 song! Well deserved. ♥️

Absolutely incredible (as always). Nothing but love, admiration and respect to you all. WOTE is the most underrated band in my opinion.

[@assiduous_yogi]

Another vote for a full length version of "alone" please, I keep coming back to this video just for that short bit in the medley

[@wimvancraen9173]

This is a classic WOTE video, playing on 1 instrument (and others beside it of course). "Classic" as in a good way of course! Enjoying playing yourself, great to watch you guys playing. Loved the cymbal kick 3:45 , the hip moves on Kylie 4:31 😁 I never though that Kylie, Ed and Gotye can be merged into one song 🤣🤘

[@paulchenpanther602]

Danke!

Love the ease Gianni sings with now. Always felt he was really “pushing “ his voice back then……but been a fan since day one. Glad to see you all are still around, doing well and as always…..musically blessed! 🙏

[@russnelson3460]

I don’t understand how you keep raising the bar of talent. INCREDIBLE!!!

[@distillmyheart2455]

I remember 8 years ago when I first found you out , I was so mad at the small amount of views you got. As I shared and liked tried to share as much of you as I could. But it was like nobody cares. Now all those old vids have millions of views and I’m like dying. I cry at your success. So proud! I just wish Beard was hear. I know he knows. Just wish I could see him. Love y’all !!!

[@darrenlee8981]

It’s viral video time. This is freaking amazing. Exceptional talent. Thank you so much for taking the time and posting this. This will go down as one of your best of all time ❣️🔥

[@cablefellow5315]

The world: There is no way 5 people can make a live recording sounds like a pro mix. Walk off the Earth: Hold my juice box.

[@benedykt123313]

It's not live tho. Literally none of their videos are anywhere near a live recording. It's even worse; the one video where it all started was a total scam, where the audio was multitracked way before they even came near the idea of the video. Even their "live" performances completely rely on a well produced backingtrack, where only (some of) the vocals and the drums are actually live. It's very sad that the one thing you're known for, you can't actually do.

[@calyxkodiak]

@@benedykt123313You seem to love making stuff up. Yes there’s a backing track but about half of it is them live. Stop spreading pessimistic misinformation

[@SR-kr1en]

Every single second of this video is genious to me!!! I have been listening this at least 20 times today. ❤️❤️❤️

[@shaunkellison1761]

This is the most original thing I have ever seen! My eyes have now been opened to the multiple people one guitar phenomenon that is this one video… No other one like it. Ingenuity at its purest.

[@Himannv]

Not going to lie, that sequence with Alone and Africa was just incredible and stood out!

[@Stmic-q9p]

I’m Japanese who watched “I knew you are trouble” 10 years ago. It's been a while since I searched for you and I'm glad to see that you are still giving wonderful videos. This video also shows special guitars, cheek instruments, tap dancing, etc., and it made me happy to see that you are still enjoying music with your whole body. Please keep up the good work and take care of yourself.

[@Chaosghostrider666]

The transition to "I can't get you out of my head" is impressive. Grandiosos musicos

[@noranature]

Alone from Heart is just amazing. You definitiv have to make this whole song, that would be so wonderful. But listen, the other composition are also beautiful. You all are such so creative. Thanks so much for that.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

Absolutely! I couldn’t agree more, it was chillingly good

[@karmaczar8591]

As a musician myself, you guys are truly inspiring. Long live WOTE, long live Beard Guy, and God bless

[@CharlieKnolesPlus]

Amazing arrangement guys. Really cool to compare the old version of “somebody.” You can hear ten years of practice and development in your voices and skills. You were great back then but so much better now. Gianni’s voice is so controlled and smooth now! He used to have that forceful metal scream and now it just sounds like effortless high notes. Really amazing.

[@flixxl6797]

This is wonderful talent and hard work combined with an immeasurable passion for music that really brings out tears of joy every time I watch this video.

[@OldGrumpyDad]

SO FREAKIN' INCREDIBLE!!! The complexity to mash all these and play these intruments like that is CRAZY but you guys ALWAYS make it look SO EASY! I LOVE you guys!! So good as always!! 👍

Your Eye of the Tiger video popped up (for the first time) in my KZbin feed today and after watching it along with, Turn, Turn, Turn, and the “12 Big Hits” videos, I promptly subscribed to your channel! As a classically trained musician, retired music educator and multi-instrumentalist, I was amazed at the quality (both vocal and instrumental) of your performances and arrangements! I’ve already spread the word to several friends and will continue to do so. Can’t believe it took this long to “discover” you. Keep it up!!!

Now, fast forward to the present and there are three amazing kids, fans worldwide and a career making smiles with your friends. There have been some low spots and trials we've all been thru with you guys. You have family in every corner of the world now and you'll never be a stranger no matter where you go. Just know that we, your loyal fans, when you need us just call. We are truly in your debt and will be there if you ever need a hand. What can we do for you? 🤙✌🧡

[@walkofftheearth]

This comment means so much to us! The WOTEling community has grown into something we could have never imagined when we were jamming in our parents basements.
