I’ve decided whenever I do a Pentatonix or Home Free reaction video, that I would include the other on the same day, just so both fan bases get their equal opportunity to enjoy what they love to hear.
The thinking behind this song, even though written by Matt, is for people like Mitch who have struggled letting the world know how they want to be known and when they finally let the world know know what they’ve decided and what they’ve had to go through to get there, asks if they can now in all honesty, finally be happy. This song will resonate with many who have been in the same position and for those that have lived an entire life fitting to the supposed ‘norm’ but really needed to be finding their own Lane.
Great reaction! It is emotional to see them together (even if it was back in Sept ‘19). What a stunning visual representation of that moment we’ve all experienced where we thought life was headed in a direction, only to discover an unexpected change was lurking around the corner. (Looking at you COVID-19) The veil of confusion & hurt does slowly, eventually slip off and with it the guilt that might try to linger, allowing us to embrace a new direction, a new adventure, a new relationship, to find color in life again.... and be happy! Well done PTX. Well done. So happy for Matt... his 1st original!
Now that you’ve delved into the Pentatonix originals you’re gonna have to go back and listen to some of their other originals. There’s _Sing_ which you may even recognize. They did a version of it as an NFL Thursday night football promo a few years back. Love again is sort of an echo of the Daft Punk medley, it has a real club feel. _Run to You_ is an original that’s very quiet and choral in nature but gorgeous with stunning harmonies. And the final one that I will list is _Can’t Sleep Love_ a fun pop romp.
🌟We've been WAITING for this video FOR A LONG TIME! Scott's voice! He sounds WONDERFUL! His voice range throughout the song is S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G! Kirstie and Mitch with the lead and GORGEOUS harmonies! Matt and K.O laying down SUPERB beats!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!💥
To me this song is a result of a time that you lose someone, and in the beginning you become a ghost of your self (Mitch in the white Shear) but you finally move on, and as you are starting to ask, is it ok to be happy now, and then you finally break through and you allow yourself to be Happy Now, me, myself and I. This is a strong and loving song! Thanks for your reaction Uncle Jon
I was thinking the same thing, whether it is the loss of a loved one through and end of the relationship or even death but now I am ready to move on. I love this💜🦋
I love this ! This was recorded in September 2019. Its original music that was first discussed publicly in Spring of 2019 when they were getting ready to begin their world tour and said what they'd been working on which was an all Originals album.. The album was going to have songs that addressed everything they had been through over the past 2 years . They performed this song during their world tour before it was put on pause when the virus broke out. It's a coincidence that the lyrics fit what we're all going through right now with the shutdowns. It is a fact that it was illegal for them to release original music for a certain amount of time when a member left. I am leaving it at that. The Shroud over Mitch probably represents what he went through as he was the one member that seemed to have lost their Joy until the World Tour started. That was the first time in two years that he began acting like Mitch again and we started seeing him smiling, playing around and laughing openly and freely. Thank you so much for reacting
Yay! I immediately clicked when I saw you reacted to it. We've all been waiting for new PTX original music for so long and this is such and exciting time. Also, I'm pretty sure you caught the lyrics later, but Scott was singing "is it illegal to move on". The song is basically about letting go of a past relationship (or it could be about mourning, actually) and of the guilt you might feel that you want to enjoy yourself and be happy again even if you no longer have that person around.
@@grazynawikert-unger2122 I love how there are these little things in the lyrics that make it even more interesting to delve into. Like Scott asking the person to "give him the keys" so he could go on adventure. Along with the questioning "am I", it adds more depth to it, because clearly, while the person's trying to let go, they're not there yet and still feel like they need to ask permission. Lol, I just geek out over this. I love the song so much :D
@@msmichellewinchester I always pay attention to the lyrics and who sings the verse. This is usually not accidental. I have the impression that for Scott, the lyrics are of great importance, that when he sings, he conveys what he wants to say, what he feels.
@@grazynawikert-unger2122 Yes! I agree. Mitch's bridge actually speaks more about someone who might be further into the process, now that you mention about who sings what.
This song reminds me of Na Na Na which is also an original by them, i suggest listening to New Year's Day, Rose Gold amd Cant Sleep Love if you want to step into their originals
Yeah, over thinking it. The story is; recent breakup of a relationship, he's not mourning it. Apparently not really happy before the breakup and not feeling like being unhappy about it now.
Gosh darnit, Mitch! You can even make wearing a sheet over your head look cool! Thank you, Uncle Jon (I feel a little weird calling you 'Uncle,' since I'm pretty sure I'm way older than you, but hey...) for continuing to showcase this amazing group. You're one of my favourite reactors to them, because you're respectful enough of the song and the singers to just let it play without jumping in every ten seconds to comment, and, when you DO stop it to comment, it's to say something relevant and intelligent. Please keep on being you in that respect. 🤗
There the same two things that really stood out to me two... Did you like it John, you don’t seem as enthusiastic as you usually are with a Pentatonix video. I was a little taken aback when I first heard it, but I’ve been playing it over and over, and I love it more each time I hear it. The video as well is just absolutely stunning, definitely one of there most unique videos, I really love it.. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah, I 😍 the video. Like you said the production is excellent. The video editing looks very different from the last videos, cause apparently it was filmed before the covid stuff last fall. It looks like part was filmed together. I'm not complaining about the recent videos done from home, just saying it's nice to see some shots of them together. I was starting to get the feeling we would see them all in separate boxes again... I wonder who all was involved with the concept for the video. Did they all put in ideas? I love the different ways of expressing the dark mood. (Mitch as a ghost is simultaneously 😢&😂 to me cause I don't know if he's playing someone so upset after the breakup that they feel like they are a ghost of their former selves or if he's playing someone being a "drama queen".) Then they come out into full light to dancing & colors. It really matches the song so well. As for the song, I really like it!! It's a great "I'm moving on" song. 🙂
I AM SOOOOO SORRY I WAS NOT ON HERE WHEN THIS WAS POSTED! I WAS TOTALLY WITH YOU GUYS IN SPIRIT- I STILL HAVE THIS STOMACH VIRUS + MY HEART HAS BEEN NOT DOING SO WELL - I HAVE A HISTORY OF HEART ATTACKS & ANGINA & I HAVE HEART DISEASE. (but don't worry- I'm OK for now. And if anything ever does happen to me, just listen to "Standing By" & that will be my parting "gift" to all of you as I will be in Heaven standing by, waiting to see you all again- + I will be watching over our beloved Ptx, making sure they are always safe!) I WILL BE BACK TONITE TO INTERACT WITH ALL THE COMMENTS!!! CAN'T WAIT! OH, AND - UNCLE JON!!!!!!!! - I WILL HAVE MANY WONDERFUL COMMENTS FOR YOU!!! NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS ARE WE STILL DOING "MARY, DID YOU KNOW?" TOMORROW? MY HUBBY & I HAVE AN APPT TO CLOSE ON A LOAN AT 2pm. HOPE I DON'T MISS IT! BUT IF I DO I WILL BE ON HERE THE SECOND I GET DONE!!!!!! (6 exclamations for current Ptx members & Avi!!!!!!)
I think you would really enjoy "Love Again". It's a little older than this one, but also just visually fun at the same time as their usual fantastic musicality.
I just listened to this earlier today when I got off work and seen they posted it! EEE!! And here you were doing a reaction to it! LOVE IT! I can't stop listening to this song. This is my new all time fav. from them!!!!
You should react to Citizen Queen and Acapop! Kids. These are two new acapella groups that Scott help put together. Citizen Queen is and all female and Acapop ! Kids are a group of 27 kids ages 10-16. CQ please react to No More Tears Left To Cry. For the kids please react to High Hopes.
Ooh, you’re on the ball with this one! (Haven’t watched yet, only just clicked on) Home Free have also just dropped a video - a cover of Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler. Looking forward to that reaction as well!
I think Scott meant (my thoughts) The person in the song he was singing about was making him sad(unhappy) and he is now saying is it ok to be happy instead of being sad because he had got rid of what was making him unhappy I hope that made some sort of sense
This is an original they wrote in response to what the virus has done and the sorrow it has caused. Are we able to move on with our lives, despite the ones that may be gone?
Hello John, I have noticed that you haven’t reacted to Pentatonix covers of “The Prayer” and “Over the River”. I would love to see your reaction to those.
Hi! I am a fairly new subscriber and so far I really enjoy watching your videos. I was just wondering if you could please do a reaction to: Pentatonix- Problem Originally an Ariana Grande song I really enjoyed the way that Pentatonix did it and I think you will too. I hope You’re having a great week.🙂
Was it created with appropriate social distancing/isolation? Would be interesting to find out "how" this was produced in light of current pandemic issues -- you mention the editing and color splashes and so forth, but were the 5 of them also edited into the group shots of them? BTW, I'm really enjoying a lot of the other isolation collaboration efforts of various groups, if you happen to review any of those.
Apparently this was recorded last September, so it's nearly a year old! Mitch still has his mullet!! Fab song and great video. Can't wait for the next originals album to come out, it's been too long since the last!
I think that is very interesting question:" Is it illegal to be happy now?" and how we can understand this question. Personally I think that today's world became so mad and cruel that is forbidding even to be happy. For example: when a single boy sees another boy with the girlfriend and they are "happy now", that single becomes jealous. Everyone who is single should know that from jealousy nothing good is coming out. I'm deeply religious person that is why I want to explain why jealousy is bad using a fragment from Bible. Do you know why first man and woman: Adam and Eve have decided to take and taste the fruit from a Tree of Knowledge? First they were deceived by Satan in the form of snake. Then they envy One and Only God and wanted to be equal to Him. By taking and eating this forbidden fruit they set themselves and their children on the path of sin. And one person was needed for making right their wrongs-Jesus Christ. By making this sacrifice He open up the way to save everyone from their sins, because while the first people wanted to be as high as God, He the Son of God wanted to be as low as other people. Sorry for such long comment, I just wanted to clarify everything with this song. ;)
I’ve decided whenever I do a Pentatonix or Home Free reaction video, that I would include the other on the same day, just so both fan bases get their equal opportunity to enjoy what they love to hear.
Great idea!
That won't last long as PTX has a way bigger catalogue
Sounds good to me! I'm a Pentaholic first but a Home Fry in a very close second.
Nice! they both have kinda similar fan bases and I'll enjoy to hear what I love twice as a Pentaholic first and a Home Fry second too! :D
Matt's first original with PTX
This is an ORIGINAL song! Thank heavens! It's been a long, long time since they dropped one of their own. Thank you, thank you!

It's about 15 minutes long, but you should check out their Popspring performance from 2016. It's 4 songs, live, and all originals (w/ the MJ medley).
I will try to remember this.
The ghost Mitch was kinda weird but DUDE! I love his look once that comes off!
This was supposed to represent a butterfly coming out of the caterpillar cocoon.
