What it Do !!! I was hoping for that kind of reaction from ya!! Geoff’s abilities are outstanding. Your reaction is outstanding. Thanks for checking this out!! Peace out ✌️
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs! Geoff’s and Tim’s range are very similar, if not the same. I love this arrangement and how he recorded this! So beautiful! Side note: I loved that old Motown from 60’s and 70’s!!
haha, "just turn the onion to his voice and it will slice itself"......i never laughed so hard at you before......u have a great sense of humor, Dave !!.....but i'll probably still get tears in my eyes just hearing Geoff's butter voice !!....keep on doing you !!
Anyone who loves Geoff gets me to subscribe so I've hit that button! I've listened to his cover repeatedly since it came out. The man can sing anything & do it so well yet he's so humble. Great reaction!
Such a great reaction! Yeah his range is just insane, a beautiful cover of this inspiring song and so calming. A quick suggestion, maybe you could include the creators name, in this case Geoff's, into your video title, that way people can better find your wonderful account and videos when searching for reactions to their fav creators!
I like to keep the titles as close to the original as possible. However, I have tagged the video properly and it does include Geoffs name so if you type that with this title my vid should pop up if it’s popular enough.
Blackbird by Alter Bridge was named after the Beatles version. The song was dedicated to a friend of Myles Kennedy's who passed. He gave him his first guitar and taught him Blackbird by the Beatles. Great video man!
I didn't know what was behind this song, but the Beatles explained at a concert. Venus 501 shares this info. "During a concert in the US , before performing this song, Paul McCartney spoke on stage about the meaning of the song. After the show, during an interview, the meaning was further discussed: I had been doing poetry readings. I had been doing some in the last year or so because I’ve got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read “Blackbird”, I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people, ’cause there’s not a lot you can do except just read the poem, you know, you read 10 poems that takes about 10 minutes, almost. It’s like, you’ve got to, just, do a bit more than that. So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I’d written “Blackbird”, you know, that I’d been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of “you were only waiting for this moment to arise” was about, you know, the black people’s struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It’s not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it’s a bit more symbolic. Paul McCartney, Interview with KCRW’s Chris Douridas, 25 May 2002 So, basically, Blackbird was inspired by the racial tensions that exploded in the US on spring 1968 as a symbolic way to support the efforts of the Civil Rights Movement. McCartney underlined also that “bird” is a British slang often used for “girl”, which would make “blackbird” become “black girl”. This lexical escamotage combined with the events back in 1960s seem to refer to Rosa Parks, a black woman who, while on a bus, refused to give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled; she later become “the first lady of civil rights” and “the mother of the freedom movement”. Anyway, this song is so deep and at the same time so metaphoric that it can be used as a song of freedom in any circumstances. It sings that even if your not free, if you live in darkness, if your wings are broken and your eyes sunken, you should always try to arise, fly and follow the light that even in the darkest night shines. Notably, Blackbird is one of the top ten most recorded covers of all time. I would like to present to you one of the best, in my opinion: the cover from Crosby, Still and Nash performed at Woodstock."
You're the first reactor I've seen comment on the repeated consonant f-f-f-f-fly. I think it's intended to sound like bird wings flapping. Just the kind of attention to detail I've come to expect from Geoff.
When I saw the title I was very interested to see how he would do this song cause a bass singer doing a Beatles song was an odd choice to me but its Geoff I should have known he we do good.
I'm surprised you haven't heard Blackbird before. Paul Mc Cartney wrote it about black people's struggle in the southern states after the the Little Rock Nine in Arkansas
This is a good song. But, through the years, many only hear the melody & some of the lyrics. It's poignant & timely. Blackbird - Is a world-famous song by the Beatles from the 1968 double-disc album “The Beatles“, better known as “The White Album“. The song was written by Paul McCartney, though credited to Lennon and McCartney. During live concert “Chaos and creation at Abbey Road“ held at Abbey Road Studios in 2015 , McCartney himself admitted that the guitar accompaniment for the whole song was inspired by J.S. Bach’s Bourrée in E minor, because George Harrison and he used to play that as a “show off” when they were teenagers. The lyrics seem to refer to the story of a blackbird with “sunken eyes” and “broken wings” which learn to see and to fly. But as you may expect there’s something more… Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see. All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Loved your reaction to this! His range, and Tim's, never cease to amaze me!
His range in this song is E1-B4 which is incredibly impressive ngl- (I may be wrong, I’m sure someone will correct me if I am.)
Actually in mermaid meledy he hit a D1
DM 404 I’m talking about this song, but YES, and his range goes higher than a B4.
@@DM-ub1ec I think he was talking about this song, his actuall range is much larger
u are correct actually his other low notes are A1 and B1
@@YtprophetWZ He has TECHNICALLY subharmoniced into the 0 octive a few times. So has Avi. And Tim. All three have blown speakers live.
I’m so glad you did this one I was hoping you would!!!! Any plans for more home free?
Your reaction at the end: *dead*
It made me feel peaceful and a smile on my face:)
Crazy how Dave started wearing glasses from all the Voiceplay binging, but not wearing hearing aids from all the bass
I love your enthusiasm for these videos, If you have a kid he/she is very lucky!
