They once had homophobic protestors on one of their concerts in summer 2019. The thing about this song is that they always perform it off-mic, they just put one mic on the floor, stand around it and sing. That day the protestors were shouting and had a megaphone which made the performance harder but then the entire crowd went silent and they tried to sing as loud as they could, belting the hell out of their voices. This was one of their most powerful performances ever.
WOW! That's a great story! Thank you for sharing. I've been to quite a few PTX concerts but it was the era of "Light in the Hallway" off mic, not "Run to you". I love how they crowd goes from CRAZY sing along to perfect stillness.
@@cassie8906 I saw Light in the Hallway live too and was so blown away! Can’t imagine seeing Run to You in the same fashion. Prolly woulda made me a weepy mess 😅
@@2nicnag2 yeah, they were some deeply religious homophobes. Seeing Scott, Kirstin and Mitch belt all the notes in the song with as much passion as possible was so moving for me. Them being able to stand their ground and in their own way to prove themselves is still one of the most inspiring things they've done to me
I actually understand why he says four voices though. Mainly because Kevin isn't emphasized in the mix of this song. If you hear a live version they did of this song for some show (don't remember what show it was though) where the mic balance was more equal for all of them, you'll notice a huge difference immediately and I actually prefer that version because you really hear Kevin. Secondly, Kevin is so awesome at harmonizing with Mitch and Kirsten at times that you can barely tell there are separate voices! 😅
I cried along with you .. my husband died in 2019 .. I also think of it as being someone running to Jesus after a tough life .. can be taken many ways but I still think of my husband .. I love that you are very sweet and emotional .. peace to you - God bless
@@Bayotherapper thank you so much -- youare there for me more than you know - I'm 70 and in a nursing home because of a sinal cord injury, so listening toyou and the beautiful music I hear makes me SO happy .. I used to be able to sing and play the guitar and piano, but can't any more so listening to these songs and your reactions is wonderful !! thank you for what you do- and yes, I'm a Pentaholic - and a Bayo-holic :)
@@anne-mariegoyette4240 well you have just made me smile and cry in one comment ❤️ just know I love you! And I’m so so happy my videos bring joy for you
* TRIGGER WARNING* I have a similar thought about this song, lost a buddy of mine in highschool do to su*cide and we we’re singing this song is choir. Made me think about things and my own life. Honestly can’t hear this song without thinking of the ones I’ve lost and who are with our Father and how one day we will run to HIM ourselves. LOTS of feels from this song ❤️❤️❤️
Never apologise for shedding a tear! It just shows that your emotions are finding expression, which is a cleansing and honest process. Unless you feel too exposed, in which case consider whether to post such reactions carefully. To my mind, you are doing a great job!
Avi once described this as a song about desire, longing. It definitely is a tear jerker!! Love your authentic reactions, never stop! Love you, friend!! 💜
One of their earliest original songs that they released. This would later become a staple of their live shows, usually performed with all five members around one microphone low on the floor. Every time I hear this song, I immediately think of my beautiful wife, who passed away young in 2010...so the tears definitely start flowing.
There is a beautiful live version of this song from their tour in 2019, standing on stage without their microphones, just belting their parts to be heard by the crowd. So gorgeous.
Angie, it was AMAZING but 1 thing that got my attention (besides their voices of course) was that you could literally hear a pin drop in the arena. It was like we were all there, watching, and not breathing!
@@jenniferyoung8551 there is a video where they were singing to cover the chanting from protesters outside, It is so moving to see them work together, showing love and respect to each other and their fans over some of the hate outside that arena
Did nobody tell you to bring the tissues for this one? Don't you worry, boo! We all cry on the first listen to this song... and sometimes on the second and third and... ok you get it. It's beautiful and heartfelt and just rips your soul. Thanks for your reactions
@@isasimonsen4774 The vocal track is studio recorded (as with all Official Videos for any artist). They did learn to lip-sync the "run to you" chorus backwards to that when played backwards, the lip movements would be correct when synced up with the recorded vocals. :) You'll notice that it's only during the chorus that the petals are falling upwards. They only needed to learn that part with the "reverse" mouth movements.
@@isasimonsen4774 I remember hearing that as well. Similarly as in "God Only Knows" where they had to sing in double time at the end so when they slowed it down the snow would be falling slowly. I believe it was Kirstie that said it in one of the PTXperience vlogs.
Never apologize for crying we all do it. This is a emotional song so if it touches you that way let them tears fall. The live version is unbelievable and you will definitely cry.
My sons have been made aware that this then PTX's Amazing Grace are to be played when they spread my ashes. I'll be breaking down those gates to finally see my eldest son who was stillborn. Back in those days you didn't get to see or hold your stillborn. My chains will be gone!
Tears are good things! They're healing, they're cathartic, they help us work through what we're feeling. I love your reactions, Bayo; you're a top-tier YT favorite. Keep doing what you're doing, and as soon as I can afford it I'll be right there on your Patreon. There is one song I've wondered if you'd react to -- it's really been on my mind lately with everything that's happening in the world -- Rise by Superfruit (Scott, Mitch, with guest stars Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose and Mary Lambert). As I understand it, it was in response to the Pulse nightclub tragedy. It'll get you right in the emotions, but it's such a beautiful message. Thanks again for all the positivity and delight in music that you put out into the world!
i love music because it helps you to show people how o express their feelings or a story you want to tell that they experiance or seen this is why music can be a gift to people.
I can tell you are a young daddy... lol. But yes, this song is gorgeous with the 5 part harmonies. I love their togetherness in breathing, singing, emoting. They were generous enough to put the musical chart on line, available to all their fans and I know a lot of groups and choirs covered it. Just when I thought I couldn’t love them more. 🥰🤗
Thank you, my dear, thank you. It is 4:30 am, the night is dark and the blizzard increases. And in the silence, you have given me this lovely piece of music. Beautiful. And so are you♥️
Please don't apologize for showing us a part of you, we are here for you and with you. I see tears as a sign of strength not weakness. Thank you again for your reaction. You are one of my favorite reactors, because I can identify with you.
I love when all 5 of them sing and I love that this original is so breathtaking. Never apologize for showing true reactions and emotions. Thank you for reacting to this.
I HAD TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE WATCHING BAYO TEAR UP. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT EVERY TIME I SEE A MAN CRY, IT MAKES ME CRY, TOO... THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL, EMOTIONAL, EXTREMELY WELL DONE. THANK YOU AVI. I WISH YOU HAD NEVER LEFT PTX, BUT UNDERSTAND WHY. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
I’ve been blessed to be able to hear this song live (with Matt) and it’s absolutely beautiful. Please check out a live performance - you won’t regret it! Love your reactions!
I feel ya bruh!! This is up there with Barber's Adagio for strings as songs that can cause waterworks nearly every time!!! Masterpiece!! Props to PTX and Ben Bram!!!
Lovely reaction. Don’t apologize for feeling the song. I really appreciate your very honest reaction. I’ve watched this countless times and have cried each time. Love your channel!
Bayo..I forgot the sound of this. I feel it is daunting and beautiful at the same-time. Just beautiful....they can sing anything....don’t apologize for shedding a tear. That’s what they want.....stay safe my friend...Judy D.
This is an original! It used to get to me every time I listened to it! On their world tour (that they had to put on hold in early 2020 because of covid-19) this was the song that they would sing like a traditional acapella group. They have one microphone and they form a semicircle around that microphone. They take out their earpieces and ask the audience to be totally quiet so they can hear each other without those earpieces. The audience is so respectful that it gets so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It's just beautiful and now I'm going to cry because I miss them! But they've been very active during lockdown and did a lot of videos from home. They've really tried to keep the fans feeling a sense of normalcy in a very odd feeling world. I appreciate them so much, just like I appreciate your positivity and how genuine you are. That's the exact reason why I decided to become a patron when I learned that your Barber Shop was closed last week. You give a very good vibe that brings my mood up even though I'm still in lockdown in this State. It helps me to get to share something I really enjoy and get my mind off of anything negative or worrisome. So many people have lost jobs and businesses during this pandemic and since I could afford those few $$ a month I was more than willing to be supportive since you're going through a rough time. I'm not rich but I know there are those out there that literally don't have a few dollars and I'm very glad that you are still providing all of this content on TH-cam! I have to choose who I want to subscribe to very carefully. I subscribe to Pentatonix and I subscribe to you. And I am so relieved that I love your content on patreon! I'm getting something really cool out of all this and it actually helps you out. People helping people is a good thing. Thanks for all the positivity!
I love this song so much. I'd also recommend Light In The Hallway. It's a similar style to this one. Mitch and Scott wrote it when Scott's nephew was born and asked Avi to lead. I [try to] sing it for my son at bedtime a lot.
You don't need to keep apologizing for being a human and letting your emotions show so that you really are human. Love all of your Pentatonix reactions.
I also find it interesting how well their voices combine and how I can make out each one of them. Nothing better than when all 5 of them sing. Great reaction and thanks for posting.
Love this reaction. I've seen a dozen reactions to this video and seen no tears. Cue the guy with tattoos on his face and there's tears. As a tattood guy who gets judged, it's nice to see a video which helps break down the barriers.
This song is incredibly soothing to me, and I've used it to fall asleep for well over five years now. At first, I'd just put this song on repeat til I slept, but now it's part of a night-time playlist; still equally as effective and I often start the playlist by listening to this one. Light in the Hallway, Say Something, and Standing By are also part of the playlist of course.
Hi Bayo as other people have said this is brilliant and heartfelt and as others have said they had to sing some of the lyrics backwards to make believe that the petals are going upwards more genius from these super talented guys XX
Thank you so much for reacting to this song. I am so glad you are true in your reactions I don't think anyone can listen to this and not be emotional. I love that it is just their voices and you can hear each one of them. It really showes each ones vocals. This is my favorite PTX song.
I've been a PTX fan for at least 8 yrs but I didn't hear this song for the very first time until the week we buried my father. I don't know how I didn't hear it before then but it was unbelievable. I was totally numb, I lost my mother less than 2 yrs before and I remember hearing this and crying, really genuinely sobbing and it was the first time I was able to express my sorrow. They gave me the chance to let the walls down and grieve for both my parents and when they sing about breaking down the gates of heaven I felt it in every cell in my body. Those angels spoke my pain and sorrow for me and every time I hear it, I sob and miss my parents and allow the feelings out. Never ever apologise for your pure emotions, they unite us as humans and it is very needed in these days 💖 God bless
I've watched quite a few of your reactions, but TODAY, I've subscribed. This reaction just hit me different and I appreciate the emotional honesty. It was beautiful. Hi from Ontario, Canada!
Never apologize for crying when a song moves you - music is meant to evoke emotion. :) This really is a beautiful piece, and having all 5 voices moving together makes it magic.
This is an original, and so beautiful. Each person's voice shines, and sets the mood. Do try SAY SOMETHING, which is simple, powerful and deeply moving. Their passion shows on their faces and in their voices. Thank you so much, sweet Bayo. We appreciate you. :)
I’m sure you’ve been told to watch all of the pentatonix videos. But one that touches my heart every time is “Waving through a Window”. It’s about social anxiety. As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, it’s a great song.
Oh mate! You made me cry!. Just when I stopped crying through this bloody lockdown! You do know that PTX are in the UK in June?. (Pandemic permitting!.) I’m seeing them in Manchester. 😊
Greetings from Seattle. Aclear and authentic reaction. This brings tears to everyone's eyes. And frankly it didn't then there would be something wrong with you. Keep up the review and hang in there in the covid-19 issues. Love your reviews, man!
Watching you tear up made me tear up also! I absolutely love this song so much it always hits me on so many different levels emotionally spiritually, mentally and physically
This song brought me to tears the first time I heard it, I kept thinking of my parents (deceased). When I listen to it now, I think of someone who has lost their way or passed away and had a hard life. Now they are running to Jesus and that's why the shackles ( our body) were broken. I could be way off on this but beautiful song anyway. Great reaction also. You should always have tissues handy with Pentatonix ❤️
Emotional reaction for most of us I suspect so completely understand. That's the magic of music. It can transport us to so many feels. This one was written by Avi and Kevin. So beautiful.

@@s_lasgalen going to my first PTX show at the end of the month, to say I’m excited is an understatement.
It's an original, written by Avi and Kevin! Love this song...
You said 4 people are singing. There are 5 people singing. Kevin is singing too. This one really hits you in the feels!
Yes, his voice is lovely.
Yeah I was confused and sad that one was being left out. All five are so important to create such a masterpiece ❤️

Love you all so much! Thank you for the constant support ❤️🌟
If you want one that definitely won't make you cry, watch Pentatonix singing NO. It's simple and fun plus your man crush Mitch has the lead.
Yess love that one😁
Or "Na na na" that is a fun one too!
I watch No every time its in my suggested videos. I love that one.
Dude pentatonic is amazing.... I don’t blame you for crying. They are revolutionary. Keep up the great videos! This was awesome!

I've probably cried over this song almost every time listening to it😅
Beautiful 5-part harmony. So emotional. They filmed the chorus singing backwards, so that when they played it forwards the petals are going upwards.
Did they really record it that way? I cant really believe that actually, do you have a newssite or something stating that?

No apology needed. This one is atmospheric and emotional. It speaks to your heart.
Don't apologise for crying it is a very emotional song you should give the live a listen to they like to sing without microphones ❤️
I don't cry with this song....I break down sobbing my heart out. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
I love your reactions!
Don’t be sorry Bayo. We love you. I’d love to give you a cuddle.
Oh yes! Hugs from Spain 🥰
i love music because it helps you to show people how o express their feelings or a story you want to tell that they experiance or seen this is why music can be a gift to people.
This is very, very deep and emotional. Honestly if you weren’t moved, I would be concerned. Try Problem or No for a palate cleanse of pure fun!
The whole purpose of music is to communicate emotion and Pentatonix does it so well!!!
Humanity can use more tears .. never apologize, ever! It's not a sign of weakness, but of STRENGTH !!
I can tell you are a young daddy... lol. But yes, this song is gorgeous with the 5 part harmonies. I love their togetherness in breathing, singing, emoting. They were generous enough to put the musical chart on line, available to all their fans and I know a lot of groups and choirs covered it. Just when I thought I couldn’t love them more. 🥰🤗

Never ever apologise for your pure emotions, they unite us as humans and it is very needed in these days 💖 God bless
I've watched quite a few of your reactions, but TODAY, I've subscribed. This reaction just hit me different and I appreciate the emotional honesty. It was beautiful. Hi from Ontario, Canada!
Never apologize for crying when a song moves you - music is meant to evoke emotion. :) This really is a beautiful piece, and having all 5 voices moving together makes it magic.
I love watching emotional reactions, probably because I envy those who can outwardly express their emotions. One of my favorite reactions
I love all of your reactions. You go ahead and cry; you have such a big heart. You are loved. Bless you.
This is an original, and so beautiful. Each person's voice shines, and sets the mood. Do try SAY SOMETHING, which is simple, powerful and deeply moving. Their passion shows on their faces and in their voices. Thank you so much, sweet Bayo. We appreciate you. :)
Thank you for doing this song. It's my favorite, for the sheer simplicity of it as well as the depth of emotion it provokes, as all good music does.
Never apologise for being human and showing emotions😊 it’s one hell of an emotional song and tears are to be expected ❤️
This is at least the 5th time I’ve watched your reaction to this video....it never gets old!
It is never bad to cry during a song. Music makes us FEEL. That is why it is universal. They have the ability to convey so much in their songs.
Can I just say that the quality/settings of your mic is amazing. With my headphones on, it sounds like you're in the room with me.
I’m sure you’ve been told to watch all of the pentatonix videos. But one that touches my heart every time is “Waving through a Window”. It’s about social anxiety. As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, it’s a great song.
Love it shows your human. If you shed a tear to two. Nobody will think any less of you love. Your human with feelings. ❤❤❤❤❤
100% recommend watching a live version of this!! Its more emotional hearing it live!
Oh mate! You made me cry!. Just when I stopped crying through this bloody lockdown! You do know that PTX are in the UK in June?. (Pandemic permitting!.) I’m seeing them in Manchester. 😊
More pentatonix reactions please I love you 🥰🥰🥰
Greetings from Seattle. Aclear and authentic reaction. This brings tears to everyone's eyes. And frankly it didn't then there would be something wrong with you. Keep up the review and hang in there in the covid-19 issues. Love your reviews, man!
Aww thank you so much buddy! I appreciate your kinds words and I’m sending my love from the UK ❤️
I love your reactions...I still love you even though I can't afford Patreon right now.
Watching you tear up made me tear up also!
I absolutely love this song so much it always hits me on so many different levels emotionally spiritually, mentally and physically
There is an amazing video of a virtual choir covering this song. Imagine people covering their songs for a change.
This song brought me to tears the first time I heard it, I kept thinking of my parents (deceased). When I listen to it now, I think of someone who has lost their way or passed away and had a hard life. Now they are running to Jesus and that's why the shackles ( our body) were broken. I could be way off on this but beautiful song anyway. Great reaction also. You should always have tissues handy with Pentatonix ❤️
So true 🥲❤️
My favourite PTX song
Emotional reaction for most of us I suspect so completely understand. That's the magic of music. It can transport us to so many feels. This one was written by Avi and Kevin. So beautiful.
Awww..... I loved your emotions to this. I just wanted to give you a hug and tell you everything is going to be alright..
Don’t apologise for crying. It’s nice to see someone who is moved by music the way many of us are. X
Love this song and really loved your emotional reaction
