Thank you for speaking about your depression. It's a subject that we must discuss and remove all stigma surrounding it.
Totally agree !! No shame in not being ok. We all struggle and there isnt anything wrong with asking for help
The first time I listened to this, it was so powerful it was almost unpalatable, but after listening more I can put that aside and really appreciate the beautiful interpretation and presentation. and I want to take it all in. Truly Pentatonix, truly amazing.
Your description of depression is spot on. Their version of this song is so good, that it can give those who have or are suffering from depression the comfort in knowing they aren't alone. Unfortunately, it's a song too many people can identify with. But even more importantly, it can give those who don't/haven't suffered from it a tiny glimpse of what it feels like. It's a powerful verbal depiction of an emotion, and it grabs you from the first note.
No matter how many times you hear this song, it will rip your heart out every time. Voice of experience...
So….this is my personal
favorite cover they’ve ever done. Amazing Grace is a very very close 2nd. The dissonance with the harmonies, the FIVE PART harmony which is always a treat (and I love Kevin’s percussion, but it’s always special when he fills in those harmonies). That explosive bridge and then Kirstie and Matt closing out the song 🥰🥰🥰🥰. There’s nothing about this that isn’t gorgeous.
Their cover of Say Something is gorgeous and gives me all the feels.
I know exactly where you're coming from. Both your personal experiences and your thoughts on Pentatonix. When I listen to them, although they're an A Capella group, what they do with their God given talent, can sound as great as if they have a full orchestra behind them! They're Amazing. I often think I''m listening to an angelic choir straight from Heaven.
I really loved your emotional reaction to this song and am so glad you are in a better place now. You mentioned not watching a video because you don’t care for a song, but remember PTX can make a song you can’t stand into a song that you really like (case in point is THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. PTX actually had a lot of us liking this song!)
Pentatonix will make you love almost any song. I am not a fan of about a third of their covers, but when they do it, I love them. Ptx always makes things better.
Having dealt with depression as well throughout my life- how you described the visuals I feel has to be the best interpretation of this performance. I have seen many reactions to this, and yours has touched me the most. Thank you for this.
Other PTX suggestions (just some I personally love) would include: the Popspring Concert 2016 (that includes 3 originals: Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, Water, and the Evolution of Michael Jackson), Come Along, Run to You, Standing By, Happy Now... if you haven't done those yet.
An offshoot of PTX would be Superfruit (Mitch & Scott) and their performance of "Rise" with Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose & Mary Lambert is STUNNING!
Hi Heather, Thank you for your comment ! i will check out those suggestions. I hope your doing well and staying strong and positive in these tough times.
@@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS Thank you - and yes I am! I hope the same for you!
Scott mentioned in interviews after this was released that they covered the Danny Darko version of the song. Tears for Fears' original version is a faster tempo and definitely a different vibe. PTX wall of sound at the end really emphasizes how overwhelming depression can be. The end with Kirstie and Matt felt like a pillow placed to protect you when you fall. Simply amazing.
Try their Seasons Of Love from their nationwide tv performance on the 4th of July. Surprising ending.
Oooo i like that song ! i will check it out
Had a very bad day... i never expected to feel this way at the age of 59. This reaction made me feel a bit better. This song is just mind blowing The lyrics...
The way you described how impossibly debilitating depression is, was so well articulated. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. This song man.... Makes a lot of people feel a lot of things.
Depression is a horrible thing. I suffered for many years with it, along with panic attacks.I tried to not let it show to others, but inside i was dying. Some that knew were good friends, others that knew would say shit like just snap out of it. I always felt like breaking both their legs and saying walk it off. I am so thankful i am in a much better state of well being now, and have been for a few years now. God bless you man.. Stay happy.
Travis, Im so happy to know your in a better place now :) I use to get so angry at those people but ive learnt that they simply dont understand it and i couldnt make them understand. I feel people that have experienced it will really feel this song. Anyway my man Keep strong, stay positive and enjoy everyday
@@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS You bet i will man. You do the same, Also thank you for telling others, your there to listen or talk if someone needs to. Sometimes i think we all need someone to help us look outside the box we are in.
Other songs for 'feels', I would suggest, Run to You (an original of theirs), the cover of Praying (I don't think there is a music video), and another original Thank You, on a Christmas Album, but not just about Christmas - especially after the last year we've all had! .... and just an FYI.... if you see a song they've covered that you think Meh, not really into that one, maybe give it a listen, I know I find their covers much better than the originals - they often take songs I wouldn't listen to and upgrade them completely! Not sure if you know of a song Gold, by Kiiara... they cover it amazingly... but you should see at least a little of the original to see just how great PTX (Mitch in this case) is with this song. Thank you for opening up regarding your depression - it means a lot to have this issue brought to the forefront.
Hi Tania, Thanks for the suggestions ! I filmed it a while ago and unfortunately didnt listen to the original but here you go :) th-cam.com/video/QRexDd7pCdU/w-d-xo.html
@@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS LOL! I really should check playlists first before a suggestion! Looking forward to more reactions from you :-)
Thank you for reacting to this incredible Pentatonix video. You understood. I'm glad that you are better now.
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it, still battle it from time to time but can recognise it when its going to hit which helps me prevent it
Please react to Pentatonix singing “Imagine”
For me this song reflects how those who suffer Anxiety (I Do) feel. SO dark, and deep chords, the video of the shadows running around. When Matt first comes in I get chills and when Mitch says Look Like Through Me I choke on a sob does not matter how many times I watch this!
That's the beauty of art....you interpret in the way you see it and need it to be.You are NEVER wrong
Haunting, enveloping, over bearing darkness... it’s one of the few PTX covers that I do not watch with a huge smiling grin on my face, but it’s how it should be. It makes you think. It’s an excellent song and they treated it with the respect it deserves. Tragic beauty is an excellent description. 🤗
Thanks Elaine, I dont think anyone could smile while listening to this song ! The original come on the radio on my way to work this morning and i was like " ahh crap not again !!" lol
Wow, what a visceral reaction you had! Thank you for sharing what this song meant to you and why. Now I recommend that you watch two of their most uplifting videos: Rather Be and Sing! I listen to those two every time I need help lifting my mood. Peace.
Thanks Susan, Think its important to talk about these things and try encourage others to do so..I will check those suggestions out.
Thanks for such an insightful, transparent reaction. Your analogies were great. Please check out the latest CD, The Lucky Ones. It's a masterful collection of original songs where PTX shine and open up their issues. Mitch is at his best in Never Gonna Cry Again. If you need an upbeat break, try Happy Now. The band is special and so are you! God bless you for helping others. Thanks again.
Thanks Carolyn ! Ooo i will check them out :) appreciate the suggestions
Stark, lush, haunting, luminous.
Wow, good reaction. I am going to go watch PTX's 90 dance med. or Can't Hold Us, to bring me back up. Great expression of feelings in here.
Haha yep definitely need a bring upper after watching this video
I absolutely love your cinematic interpretation of this. There is something so powerful about their 5 part harmony with no percussion. This one had me covered in goose bumps from start to finish.
Thanks Sherri !! me too, i had goosies from the first note
Fantastic reaction and interpretation. that's how I've felt for the last 10 years and still do. Thanks
Wow! You convey feelings and emotions from watching You listen to this, is heart wrenching Strong! You are amazing! Good On YOU!! I can see the emotions evoked on your face, as you listen!! Thanks for Sharing!!
Thanks Curtis !! I was trying not to show much but the music got me hard
Great reaction. I find it hauntingly beautiful. As a bipolar person who has spent years in a dark spot in my head I can feel this song. Their cover is the best I've ever heard. May I suggest you check out Mitch's cover of Billie Eilish's Your Power. That is another emotional song and he is awesome!
I really appreciate that you shared how bad your depression was and even more that you said starting the conversation is the first step. This is hauntingly beautiful arrangement of this song. Thank you being vunerable bc I'll bet you helped some people today. Say something you might want to check out.
Thanks Lexy ! really means a lot. I truly hope it encourages someone to start the conversation. I will check that song out :)
I’m at a loss for words, but the song and your reaction were both so emotionally moving. Thank you for this.
Thank you
I completely agree with heatherb. I to have fought depression all my life. I'm 58 now and have been suicidal since 8th or 9th grade. What makes a 14 year-old child Decide that The world would be better off without me Or that The only way to stop feeling the ick Is to kill myself. It's taken a long time for me to learn how to separate me from my disease, To figure out what my true thoughts are As Oppose to what the depression is saying. I completely honed in on the line isn't it a little funny isn't it a little sad the dreams on which I'm dying are the very best I've ever had. Hell isn't fire and brimstone devil and torture. Hell is an abyss without sensation or end. I have lived most of my life either in the abyss, Clawing my way out of the abyss or sitting right on the edge. a person who has dealt with depression understands Just what that means. Nietzsche says that if you stare into the Abyss the abyss stares back at you. Anton Chekhov says the role of the artist is not to answer questions But to Ask them. And that is what you so beautifully did. Your description of the figures moving in the background Resonated So much with me. When I am depressed I move through life I am not a part of life. I merely exist. Thank you for Doing the full reaction When it would have been easier for you to Scrap it and not do it At all. That is how we win the battle against depression. I saw just how Much The song affected you And that it put you right back into that time. When you were depressed. It was obvious to me By your body language and the emotional pain On your face. Thank you for showing your vulnerability And sharing that you too have had depression.that Makes it that much easier for me. And I in turn Will try to make it easier for the person behind me.
Ahhh Lesa reading this comment really touched me ! my eyes were welling up and to pause a couple times to compose myself..
First of all i am so happy that you fought, stayed strong and determined for so long. I cant imagine what it would have been like to have to deal with it in an era where it wasn't talked about and had so much stigma behind it.
Thank you for your kind words :) Being open and honest about it i think is the best way to overcome it but also help others. I talk about it because it helps me process and moved forward but also so others that are struggling can see that is something achievable.
Giving up was an option and tried to permanently give up one day because i didn't want to fight it anymore and was sick of hiding myself from everyone. Thankfully i was gifted a second chance.
I hope your doing well and your happy !!
Wow, Your Explanation of Depression is Exactly How It feels to Me!!!! I've been fighting it for Years Now!!!! It's So Exhausting!!!!
Great Reaction
Hi Christie, Its so so exhausting ! But totally worth it. I hope your still fighting and staying strong. Makes sure you give yourself credit as well.. Just think how far and how much you have overcome to still be here !!
@@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS thank you. I'm really trying. But it's so hard, my Fiancee is really trying to help me, because it's been so long, (at least 30 years, I have PTSD, Manic Depression, Anxiety, & Panic Attacks)
Wow i cant imagine how tough that has been for you. Your still fighting it all but your still surviving it all as well, im sure your fiancee has been a massive support for you :) Growing up in a religious house hold one thing always stuck with me even tho i no longer practice religion and it was " God doesn't give us more then what we can handle". That was always in the back of my mind and was definitely a something i referred to over time
@@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS yes it's been hard, and My Fiancee is a God Send, and I grew up going to church also, so I've Always heard that saying too!!!! Thank You
The beauty of art of any kind is that each person experiencing interprets it in his/her own way. However, your words echo my own thoughts about this video. I am drawn to the song, even though it reminds me of a place to which I don't want to return. Thanks for your insight and sincere reaction!
Thank you so much Jan. I hope you watched something funny or uplifting afterwards
Amazing reaction! I can share your feelings ... this song, especially how PTX interpreted it, hits you right into your heart and brains. No bitboxing, indeed. Kevin sings the high notes, not low notes, he is tenor. When Matt is singing his solo part, Scott takes over the basse lines. Always. Anyway, I enjoy your reactions very much, thank you!
Thank you so much !! really appreciate it
I completely understand your feelings about this song and their performance of it. Before I requested you react to someone, I checked to see if you had, someone that can pull at your heart with incredible talent and an overall incredible person is Dimash. With a 6+ octave range, sings in 12 languages, diversity from opera to rap, and a true heart of gold. I am requesting that you listen and react to him since you react to nightwish and Pentatonix, in my opinion this type of music is raw, meaning no way to cover imperfections, just the voice. He will amaze, make you question what you thought was possible with a human voice, entertain, and completely mesmerize, promise ❤️
And now for a change of pace! I want you to review their rendition of the "Seasons of Love" from Rent, the musical. They recorded it live for inclusion in the Public Broadcasting System's annual "Capital Fourth" celebration. Very happy, very gorgeous. Live, so you can hear each member sing, and Kirstie crushes it. Another one in which she's the star is their rendition of "Rather Be," filmed whilst on tour in Japan in about 2015. Both will leave you happy and feeling chuffed. Guaranteed.
Hi VSC. This is a very moving performance and it never fails to move me deeply. I can tell you really felt this one. Thank you for opening up to us and sharing your feelings and experiences. More PTX, please!
Thanks LMC ! I will try to do more PTX, they usually get copyright striked pretty hard but i will endeavour to upload more
One of the most insightful reactions to this I've seen. You just got it. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Don't dismiss their covers because you weren't fond of the original. They usually do upgrades. 😊
Good to know!
Everything PTX does is awesome, but my favorites are the songs they. just. sing. No big productions, no power notes, no beatboxing (sorry, love all that, too). The "basics". Harmonies and unreal vocal control (also check out their cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love"). So glad you've found this group of performers; thank you for sharing your reaction, your personal journey, and may their music continue to bless you.
Art is always open for interpretation. Great art makes you feel.
100% agree
Your interpretation was exactly mine. The line that kicked me in the heart was the "I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad" one....I've felt that. Their version is as extraordinary as they all are! AND YOU made and extraordinary gesture with your offer to listen. Thank you for that. We need people like you.
Hugs and all best wishes from a fellow depression patient. I was all of 8 years old when my parents first sought help for me. I agree that this brings up all the memories and feelings. Upbeat songs from PTX are a good little short-term booster for me. Not sure if you need more feels after that, but Say Something is beautiful and powerful, as is Shallow. Rather Be, Sing, and the Grammy-winning Daft Punk medley bring me up.
Thank you for sharing your emotions with us and for reacting to this masterpiece, it hits me hard after thousands of times watching it.. Take good care of yourself 🤩
MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. DEPRESSION IS A HORRIBLE THING TO DEAL WITH. I SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION IN MY EARLIER YEARS, BUT THANKFULLY I GREW OUT OF IT. HOW, I DON'T KNOW. I MOVED TO PHOENIX, AZ YEARS AGO AND THEN BACK TO FLORIDA. EVER SINCE THEN, NO MORE BOUTS OF DEPRESSION. I WOULD SUGGEST REACTING TO MORE UPBEAT PTX SONGS/VIDEOS LIKE "COME ALONG", "SING"," MY FAVORATE THINGS", "CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT" BY ELTON JOHN FROM THE LION KING, "DREAMS". THEY HAVE SO MANY UPBUILDING SONGS. BEST TO YOU, BILL.
The emotion you felt and the emotion they conveyed to us all was very, very powerful and meaningful indeed. Thank you for seeing it for what it is - a masterpiece performance.
I must agree with you on most of your points. I've never been a fan of this song but when Pentatonix performs "Mad World" you have to just let it flow and it just flows through you and fills you up. Great commentary. It's also good to hear from someone who has been through the same emotions that I have. Once you've been there, you can just feel similar emotions .
There are different levels of depression but the level I feel in this song is the type that just makes breathing painful. I don't wish that on anyone but I feel that YOU know that level of need. May God keep you strong and watch over you. It was my church family that pulled me out of my depression and I ain't going back.
God bless man.
booboolu so taken by ur reaction to them, hope things keep going strong in ur life. they for sure are the people that can bring a song to life and all it's emotions
Yes depression is awful to go through....been dealing with it for many years, Your thoughts l think are right on.....please if anybody needs help get help...talking about it has helped me, yes a friend, family member, Your Church, or even somebody else does help....God bless anyone who going through this or anything else.....sent with love!
Just wanted to let you know that Home Free dropped a new song today (Friday). This is a cover of a song written by Willie Nelson and made famous by country artist Patsy Cline. The song is titled 'Crazy', and I think it is a great cover.
Thanks for the suggestion 😊 i will sus it out
Well if ur interpreting it wrong, so am I because I think we’re spot on. Thank you for your truthful reaction, I’m glad ur in a better place ❤️
Hey, thanks for a great reaction.
first of, im a pentaholic and has been since they competed in the sing-off and love watching first reaction vids from people experiencing PTX for the first time. obviously came across yours and loved it so had to see if you had made more and funny enough ended up here. For me its surreal the way you are expressing and trying to explain what you went through, i sooooo get it, i almost feel like you are telling my story, so big thanks for being open about it and sharing, huge props and respect. "tragic beauty" perfect description. For me this song hit me in the feels so hard the first time i heard it, and yes i might have cried a little bit hehe. It took me back those 8-9 years ish, but from a different angle, with some sort of weird joy, putting my past into feels, with emphesis on past, making me realise how i felt then and how i am feeling now :D sorry for what appears to almost be an essay, just got so emotional and with the feels hearing someone elses story, that i can relate to so much. But mostly to give props and huge respect for, on such a huge platform, to share your struggles in a world where facade, walls and masks apparently is a huge thing because people are afraid to be voulnerable. HUGS
You offer of support is so very kind. You are a blessing
Great reaction man! That was absolutely beautiful!
Excellent reaction, thank you this was an emotion given voice and I feel you nailed it. May I make a suggestion of their original song "Happy Now" which is also impactful emotionally but in the opposite direction. (In my opinion), Thanks again :)
Thank you for sharing your honest reaction. Many people have times of depression, and you learn over the years that they come and go. It's strange that we are most strong when we are the least strong, and yet ask for help. If you want a more upbeat song, check out their rendition of Seasons of Love that they performed for the National Concert on July 4th (link: th-cam.com/video/orYat5o9dLI/w-d-xo.html ). Another one to check out - PTX Light in the Hallway (link: th-cam.com/video/uhUhFVCIxgo/w-d-xo.html ). The lead on Light in the Hallway was sung by their prior bass, Avi Kaplan, and it is really special.
Interpretation of a song like this is very open. What is causes you to feel is right for you. Unlike a song like Happy where there is no interpretation needed. This song was originally by Tears for Fears when I was a teen and yeah, it tore right through my soul...this version is a little more evocative.
Been down that low...it was a long hard struggle to get back up. With the help of my psychologist took back my power over my own life and kicked the asshat I gave my power to to the curb figuretively and literally...hardest but most rewarding 17 months I went through.
Welcome back! You have been missed.
Thanks Richard !! Im hoping to have some new content up this week 😁
I have watched all your vids on Pentatonix. I am still waiting on your reaction video on "Imagine" by Pentatonix. Please, please, do this. Also, I really, really relate to your self-revelations on this one. Depression, anxiety, panic...they are all friends of mine. I am doing a good job with them, but it is still a daily, sometimes, moment-to-moment battle. Thank you.
ps. I'm happy to hear that it sounds like your experience with depression is in the past.
Thanks Vicki :) it pops up from time to time but i know how to recognize and process it before it spirals out of control
I don’t know how you feel about James Arthur, but I adore him and would love to hear your reaction to lots of his songs…to start, the acoustic versions of Trainwreck and Empty Space, as well as Recovery!
I am with you all the way in what you said. I was in that place to and you are spot on
I hope you get this message. I want to give you a big hug. It does get better if you stay strong. I’m 61 and have been to hell and back. I’m here and alive. I still have my moments, but then we all have burdens that we carry with us. I hope this finds you feeling better.
Keep up the great work you will get to the point where like me you love everything they do fast slow fun emotional they do it all perfectly great to see you reaching out the people its very special which means YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL cheer yourself up next with cheerleader cant hold us there version of clean bandits rather be and there latest video 90,s dance medley much love from a fellow Brit X
Amazing reaction
It's probably pretty unlikely that you would see this comment after so long, but after hearing you talk at the end, I think you would really connect with Quarter Past Four and The First Place I Go (two of Avi Kaplan's solo songs which deal with the same things you were talking about). I feel kind of guilty recommending Avi music on a post-Avi Pentatonix song, but I can't ignore the voice telling me to recommend them.
Shallow, New rules are you that somebody
Thank you for speaking out about depression!
However, you made a comment early in the video, how you may have passed on a song because you didn't like it? PLEASE DON'T do that! Just because you don't like an original song you are doing your self a disservice by not listening to the PTX cover. As seen in other comment sections, PTX doesn't due covers, they do upgrades! There a several songs that I can't stand the original but love the PTX upgrade.
Checkout their version of 'Sounds of SIlence'
Jordan, anytime you need a hug, come to DC, USA. Because hugs work both ways. If I'm hugging you, you're hugging me. Ok, I've gone this wormhole until 2.30 in the morning. Nite nite.
If you have the capacity, I’ve seen where some reactors get around the problem of the copyright by putting sparkles over the video or misting portions of the video so it’s “different enough” to play longer portions before stopping to react.
Now to pick up your spirit, if you haven’t already, try their 90’s Dance Medley. Not to make light of your feelings and opening up about your depressive periods, I’ve had my own where I was in such of a I don’t care period it was hard to get out of bed. My saving Grace was if something happened to me, especially by my own hand, my parents would have been devastated. I could not do that to them, so I pushed myself and started helping others that were worse off than I. Not so much mentally, but needing help in situations where I could listen to their problems. Most of the time they had the answers themselves but were too close to their problem to see clearly. Like not seeing the forest for all the trees around them.
Depressing song, yet beautiful. But it's not the world that has the problem.
Tears for Fears did this song also
Its a great cover do you think they would do a great job of "smalltown boy by Bronski beat ?"
I love Pentatonx, but this is one song that I like better by Tears for Fears.
Hey! I am a new subscriber! I love your reactions and I just realized that there are few artists you need to check!!

Damn man, if you've established your kryptonite and encounter a song chock-full of it, turn that shit off. That's intelligence on your part. ••• Best! Peace! (-:
