First verse is a thank you to Mark for being in his life, second verse is a thank you to the band members for being part of his family, and the third verse is to their fans for continuing to be supportive in spite of the lockdown and no concerts/appearances.
This song came out around the time my wife passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. For me, the song is a 'Thank you' to her for loving me and being a part of my life for the 20 years we had. It makes me cry every time I hear it, but I love it just the same.
The Pentaholic Nation basically wept in solidarity when this came out. It could mean so much to so many. It made me think of my 3 kids, who got me through not only the pandemic, but also a job change after 14 years and a bad breakup and the return of crushing depression, all in 2020. Such a gorgeous song, and still so relatable.
Pups are Scott's goldendoodle Bubba, and Kirstie's Floof and huskies Olaf and Pascal. I believe that Scott also wrote "Light in the Hallway" as a lullaby for his nephew. He said he could just hear Avi's voice singing it as he wrote.
Such a meaningful and beautiful song! That "but you and I should probably stay inside" gave me full body chills the first time I heard the song. Such a poignant song to release at that time. You can tell it was written from a very genuine place. Many times when Scott made the introduction to this song live, he got choked up talking about "thinking about that person that makes you feel safe and special". Just beautiful.
This song always makes me cry, thinking of the hard covid times we had, the loneliness and yet we all had people who helped us through and who we helped through this difficult time. Such a beautiful song.
@@Gwennedd I heard when he sung this last year on tour, that it was hard for him to keep it together. I was sitting way up high in the arena, so I didn't witness that, but others who were close to the stage noticed it.
Such a GORGEOUS song 😍 Yes! Scott is a BRILLIANT song writer. Several reactors cried! Fact 1 - Scott wrote this on his birthday 2020 with his then boyfriend now fiance Mark ❣️ Fact 2 - The first pup featured is Scott and Mark's baby Bubba. The little pom kissing Kirstie is her pup Floof and the 2 Huskies are hers as well. The white one is Olaf and the brown one is Pascal. Fact 3 - The people on the TV are random folks, you can see people in masks, a drive by celebration, home schooling ect... Fact -4 The first Thank you is for Mark, The second is for his band mates, the third is for the fans.
I nursed my mam at home alone for three months before she passed during the pandemic December 2020 it was the hardest time for me and then this song came out, It is bitter sweet for me to listen to but so relevant and I love it. 🏴xx
This came out two months after my best friend of 40 years passed away. It made me feel so less alone. It's since become one of my favorite Christmas songs.
I love how there's literally NO surprised expression on your face when you discover that Scott plays the piano. Maybe you already knew that from somewhere, or maybe you weren't surprised because OF COURSE he does. They're all super geniuses when it comes to music.
So moving, so beautiful ❤️. When I saw them do this live on tour last year, Scott said he was nervous playing the piano on stage. Of course, he was amazing, they all are. Thank YOU Pentatonix ❤️🙌🙌
I don’t think you commented on the fact that this magnificent song is not performed acapella. Scott’s lovely piano and Kevin’s velvety cello added so much to this. The use of both was so purposeful and well-integrated that at first I didn’t catch that this was the biggest difference of all from their usual performances. I’ve watched/listened to this countless times, and it still brings tears to my eyes. Sublime.
Ummmm, Scott’s gorgeous voice, the beautiful tune, the perfect harmonies, the sweet visuals, Kevin’s warm cello, THE LYRICS, the full body chills, did I mention Scott’s gorgeous voice??? This is too stunning for actual words…and yes, I have heard it before. ❤💚
Recently, I found your lovely spontaneous reactions. You have already introduced me to several songs I have never heard, thank you! Everyone needs to cry several times a day; there is no doubt this will do that Every time. A truly glorious find for all your fans!
Great reaction Salvo love your channel and how well you listen to all of the songs you react to and I’m a huge Pentatonix fan thank you for all your reactions to them
I cried more than a few tears as it came out the day before Thanksgiving 2020, reminding me the simple moments in life are to be treasured... a pet, a gift, a snowball fight, a meal, good music, good company. ❤️
This song is incredible. But what really gets me is that it was released the horrible year of quarantine when we were all being discouraged from being with our families and friends through the holidays. It was exactly what I needed through that time.Thanks to Pentatonix for making their beautiful and thank you for a great reaction
Check out Scott's amazing singing (unbelievable head voice) in the music video "Lose Us" with Rozzi. She has an amazing voice as well. Check out the music video, not the live performance in a bar. The drunk patrons try to sing along--which they can't.
What I love about this song is that he wrote it about Mark. He expressed at one point that Mark helped him through the pandemic and this song is his way of thanking Mark without specifically saying it in the song🤍
I think that this song shows what Great people they are!! I think that this is one of the best Christmas songs. I think that they should have won a Grammy for it!!
When I first heard this song i was recovering from Covid. I had decided to stay home on Christmas just to be safe and not possibly infect my family. My niece made a huge plate of food for me and brought it to me (thankfully I'd not lost my sense of taste) and told me not to eat until she called me. When the call came she told me to open the zoom link she sent. They had set up several cameras around the dinner table and I got to have my Christmas dinner with my family. It was that night while watching their TH-cam Christmas music that I first heard this. I cried like a baby.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This song gets me every time. It is so raw, real and beautiful. I wish more people did reactions to their original songs. They are an astounding group. Love this so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh WOW 🥺🥲😍 Somehow I missed this song as well - just, HOW??!!! Its so wonderful, just beautiful! Great reaction, I'm so on the same page as you on this one. 💖
scott and his fiance mark wrote this song on scott birthday. first dog is scott and mark name bubba and others three are kirstin dogs. react to this song live with scott intro(without don't do reaction). scott intro is important to better reaction of this performance
The perfect song for the tough year that was 2020. So many people lost so much, and others had a lot to be thankful for. I know I was grateful for Pentatonix putting out music and videos in spite of everything. Their music was something I looked forward to after working long hours running a grocery store trying to keep my people safe and customers fed. When they made the videos for this Christmas album there were still no vaccines and hospitals were still full. Cried pretty hard the first time I heard it and it still makes me tear up. There is a fan video that was made to this music. It showed some of their fans and reactors thanking Pentatonix for their music that helped them get through 2020 and other life challenges. It made me ugly cry.
As hard as it is to pick favorite songs by PTX, this has got to be my favorite original. The lyrics just hit so different. So impactful, especially for when it came out but it still gets me every time.
Scott is a HELLuva songwriter. I can’t wait for more original PTX music and more from Scott specifically after Mars 😍. BRB gotta listen to all of We Need a Little Christmas again 😭😭😭
Scott and Mark wrote this on Scott's Birthday, Sept 2020 before we had a vaccine and vaccines were starting to come out when this was released. It was the first time Mark had credited himself on a song.
I still can’t listen to this without crying and I’ve seen it so many times. It’s beautiful live too, there are videos out there from the Evergreen concert and it’s amazing!
This song still impacts me just like it did at release, just a giant release of all that tension built up at that time, i felt I was able to just sigh and relax, So to PTX, Scott, salvoG.....Thank You....
So happy you reacted to this one. I was in the middle of chemo when I first watched this and absolutely lost it. I have a lot to be thankful for, but I really was truly thankful that Scott and Mark wrote this beautiful song and Pentatonix shared it with us. It really makes me melt everytime I hear it and watch this video. They are just the BEST. ❤
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I've listened to it so many times and it still makes my eyes well up. Will never get tired of hearing it!!
Love love love this song! I was lucky to see them last year for their Evergreen Concert in Manchester, NH. I cried when they sang this song. My husband had just battled Colorectal Cancer and he’d survived his treatments so it’s like my thank song for him and especially the Lord. ❤️ PTX!
Well, obviously we Pentaholics fell down on the job. It’s entirely our fault, because you do listen to us. I’ve heard it many times and it still brings a tear to my eye every time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not a fan, I'm afraid. The "Jingle Bells" references are very on-the-nose, and the composition is so boy/girl-band generic (from this songwriter's perspective) it makes my teeth grind. The vocal harmonies are undeniable, though, and the lyrics have some special moments.
![[OFFICIAL VIDEO] Thank You - Pentatonix REACTION](/img/n.gif)
First verse is a thank you to Mark for being in his life, second verse is a thank you to the band members for being part of his family, and the third verse is to their fans for continuing to be supportive in spite of the lockdown and no concerts/appearances.
Isn’t this just the prettiest song ever? Scott really expresses himself so well. So beautiful.
This song came out around the time my wife passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. For me, the song is a 'Thank you' to her for loving me and being a part of my life for the 20 years we had. It makes me cry every time I hear it, but I love it just the same.
I’m so sorry for your loss ♥️
My condolences on your loss. Lost my mom in August. This time of year is hard for all who grieve. Sending light your way.
The Pentaholic Nation basically wept in solidarity when this came out. It could mean so much to so many. It made me think of my 3 kids, who got me through not only the pandemic, but also a job change after 14 years and a bad breakup and the return of crushing depression, all in 2020. Such a gorgeous song, and still so relatable.
❤. Yes to all this
Not a dry eye in Pentaholic-dom was to be seen ❤
Sending you 💖
Pups are Scott's goldendoodle Bubba, and Kirstie's Floof and huskies Olaf and Pascal.
I believe that Scott also wrote "Light in the Hallway" as a lullaby for his nephew. He said he could just hear Avi's voice singing it as he wrote.
Yes, Scott wrote Light in the Hallway with some help from Mitch and a songwriter called Audra Mae.
Who’s pealing onions, Beautiful Scott
Such a meaningful and beautiful song! That "but you and I should probably stay inside" gave me full body chills the first time I heard the song. Such a poignant song to release at that time. You can tell it was written from a very genuine place. Many times when Scott made the introduction to this song live, he got choked up talking about "thinking about that person that makes you feel safe and special". Just beautiful.
This song always makes me cry, thinking of the hard covid times we had, the loneliness and yet we all had people who helped us through and who we helped through this difficult time. Such a beautiful song.
Frankly I don't know how he managed to sing this without tears. I can never listen to it without tears running down my face.
People I love, Pentatonix and my dogs got me thru the pandemic ❤️❤️❤️
@@Gwennedd I heard when he sung this last year on tour, that it was hard for him to keep it together. I was sitting way up high in the arena, so I didn't witness that, but others who were close to the stage noticed it.
Tugs at the heartstrings every time.❤️
...and still I cry when I hear this song. It's beautiful.
Such a GORGEOUS song 😍 Yes! Scott is a BRILLIANT song writer.
Several reactors cried!
Fact 1 - Scott wrote this on his birthday 2020 with his then boyfriend now fiance Mark ❣️
Fact 2 - The first pup featured is Scott and Mark's baby Bubba.
The little pom kissing Kirstie is her pup Floof and the 2 Huskies are hers as well. The white one is Olaf and the brown one is Pascal.
Fact 3 - The people on the TV are random folks, you can see people in masks, a drive by celebration, home schooling ect...
Fact -4 The first Thank you is for Mark, The second is for his band mates, the third is for the fans.
And so sad about Bubba and Pascal, sweet little pups crossed the rainbow bridge
I nursed my mam at home alone for three months before she passed during the pandemic December 2020 it was the hardest time for me and then this song came out, It is bitter sweet for me to listen to but so relevant and I love it. 🏴xx
Living for your speechlessness. Mitch slapped you with the choir, and when they all sang at once your reaction to the wall of sound was priceless.
This song does not get enough love IMHO. It's my favorite PTX original.
Who’s cutting onions in here??? This song gets me in the feels every time.
Thank you for sharing your time with us. ☮️
I think the word you might’ve looking for is gobsmacked!🥰
This came out two months after my best friend of 40 years passed away. It made me feel so less alone. It's since become one of my favorite Christmas songs.
Another Scott song he wrote at 17 "Light in the Hallway"
that song takes me back to my childhood and makes me ugly cry every single time without fail...I try to avoid it but it's sooooo beautiful
I know,right?! That last chorus is hauntingly beautiful when they all come in isn't it? Makes me cry every time!
I love how there's literally NO surprised expression on your face when you discover that Scott plays the piano. Maybe you already knew that from somewhere, or maybe you weren't surprised because OF COURSE he does. They're all super geniuses when it comes to music.

I’ve watched/listened to this countless times, and it still brings tears to my eyes. Sublime.
So many people think PTX only does covers, then you get this beautiful piece by Scott Hoying and his fiance Mark Manio
Ummmm, Scott’s gorgeous voice, the beautiful tune, the perfect harmonies, the sweet visuals, Kevin’s warm cello, THE LYRICS, the full body chills, did I mention Scott’s gorgeous voice??? This is too stunning for actual words…and yes, I have heard it before. ❤💚
Scott's straight tones are what I love most of his voice.
Recently, I found your lovely spontaneous reactions. You have already introduced me to several songs I have never heard, thank you! Everyone needs to cry several times a day; there is no doubt this will do that Every time. A truly glorious find for all your fans!
I don't believe PTX could do anything badly! every song is either an improved old one or just a fabulous original masterpiece like this. Melts your 💗
Me: ugly sobbing. You: This is EFFING incredible! Me: I KNOWWWWWWW. All of us crying in various ways: EXACTLY. YES. THIS EXACT REACTION.
Great reaction Salvo love your channel and how well you listen to all of the songs you react to and I’m a huge Pentatonix fan thank you for all your reactions to them
Scott has an incredible talent with lyrics. They're perfect! I just love this song and the video is beautiful!

I couldn't agree with you more. Gets me everytime. Thanks for sharing your feelings with us.
Lovely and loving…a masterful wordsmith and a force to be reckoned with…Thank you, Scott!
Really makes you think about that year, and how much we truly have to be thankful for....especially our loved ones (and PTX)
Love this one. Love your reaction! Thank you for this sincere reaction to this amazing and breathtaking song!
That was so beautiful. I got the chills.
🎵😁🎶
Scott is a HELLuva songwriter. I can’t wait for more original PTX music and more from Scott specifically after Mars 😍. BRB gotta listen to all of We Need a Little Christmas again 😭😭😭
beautiful song.....
Scott and Mark wrote this on Scott's Birthday, Sept 2020 before we had a vaccine and vaccines were starting to come out when this was released. It was the first time Mark had credited himself on a song.
Im so glad you liked this one. It is very beautiful and warm.
This is just beautiful.
Gets me in the feels every time I hear it.
PTX performed this last year in their Evergreen tour. I love the song and sentiment.
I think this is my fav original of theirs.
My favorite line - I can't believe this year you got me through..
Beautiful song, performed beautifully. Thank you for reacting to it. Glad that you liked the song and video. .
My eyes leak every time!! 🥺💞
Thank you for reacting this song. They have an other beautiful original song, light in the hallway.
All the feels ❤
I LOVE that you're still blown away by PTX!
new video from PTX for "Last Christmas". Great reaction!
I still can’t listen to this without crying and I’ve seen it so many times. It’s beautiful live too, there are videos out there from the Evergreen concert and it’s amazing!
I did that too (rewound a lot) the first time I saw this. This is such a beautiful song.
This song still impacts me just like it did at release, just a giant release of all that tension built up at that time, i felt I was able to just sigh and relax, So to PTX, Scott, salvoG.....Thank You....

I LOVE THIS SONG.
First music of the day. Thank you.
If you like this song, check out Mars, Scott’s first solo written to his fiancee, Mark.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I've listened to it so many times and it still makes my eyes well up. Will never get tired of hearing it!!
Beautiful melody
Wow! I thought you were going to break into tears there for a minute! YES! It's a GORGEOUS Anthem!
incredible!!!!
Beautiful...
To me this is a song you can play any time of year. It gets you with the feels.
Thank you ❤️
Love love love this song! I was lucky to see them last year for their Evergreen Concert in Manchester, NH. I cried when they sang this song. My husband had just battled Colorectal Cancer and he’d survived his treatments so it’s like my thank song for him and especially the Lord. ❤️ PTX!
They never cease to amaze me, thank you
Love this one,Thanks Salvo x
What a great way to end my workday - you continue to do such great reactions! Thank YOU!
Get your tissues!
Well, obviously we Pentaholics fell down on the job. It’s entirely our fault, because you do listen to us. I’ve heard it many times and it still brings a tear to my eye every time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You almost cried😢
Wowhhhhh groeten uit Nederland
❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Have you heard 'Bubs'
Did you react to "Can you feel the love tonight?" I don't see it in your reactions.
Though it is long, you might enjoy reacting to this: th-cam.com/video/DbCasvcNx78/w-d-xo.html Kevin's 5th (Kevin Olusola with Pentatonix)
Scott is a talented songwriter. You should check out his new released single Mars.
I believe he has reacted to it already ☺️
@@michellebarry1555 Ah, I should have checked first. Thanks for reminding me. 😎.
Jingle bells in a minor key?
Not a fan, I'm afraid. The "Jingle Bells" references are very on-the-nose, and the composition is so boy/girl-band generic (from this songwriter's perspective) it makes my teeth grind. The vocal harmonies are undeniable, though, and the lyrics have some special moments.
I just could keep watching. You pause entirely too much and just when someone is getting into the song….pause…just too many.
