Dream On is not a song I would have ever imagined could be done a capella, but you guys absolutely rocked this. The tenor harmonies are insane, Geoff's bassline is wild, and Layne as ever continues to make sounds that shouldn't legally come out of a human being. I also love how this feels like it takes place in the same world as Warriors, maybe a few years down the road. Warriors 2: Hey Look, the Future Still Sucks
@@Iansco1 Good point! Always crazy to see them cover rock songs, given how incredibly instrument-heavy those are. Hard to imagine anyone other than VoicePlay having both the guts to try in the first place and insane talent to actually pull it off.
Totally agree with the "Layne as ever continues to make sounds that shouldn't legally come out of a human being"!! At the moment i heard Layne's percussion, me > 😲😲😲😮🤩🥰🥰
How did the walls of this half-wrecked school hold up and the floor didn't collapse after Geoff's subharmonics followed by three warrior tenors? No clue..
Well, I guess that was the deal with the City. VoicePlay can make the Video in the Building and afterwards Geoff will use his subharmonics-ultrabase with the help of the supertenors waves to wreck the place. Win-win for the city by saving money for a company to do it and having this great guys for videoshooting in town.
I just saw Omar sing on The Voice USA that has John Legend Blake Shelton Gwen Stefani and Camilla He sang a Journey song and Got a 4 chair turn me and my fiance were like OMG thats Omar from Voiceplay WHAT!!!!
I think it's also a matter of projecting the story, that they're all in their own 'rooms' and dreaming of a better day. Eli looks so good as a post apocalypse zombie killer
I am so thankful that VoicePlay endured not winning the Sing Off and continued to do what they do best. Make beautiful music and entertaining the masses with their craft! Thank you for all that you do, you have a lifetime fan from me
What about this song for Voiceplay to do: Sound of Silence by Disturb. I want Geoff to take full lead because for his resonance bass at the beginning of this song,that he have also for his higher register in the middle of this song in his 4th octave using his a lot of mixed and chest, end of the this song, back into his resonance bass. For Lyane Stein, I want him to do atmospheric synth that blend with the higher harmony by Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa.
I am 67 & I never liked Aerosmith or rock bands like them because you can't understand a word they sing. Voice Play however knocked this out of the park as they always do. That ending with Cesar, Omar & Eli with those high notes are out of this world amazing.
I found it very poignant that the video ends with the group separated in their own individual spaces again. Usually you’d see the end of a video with the group rallying together, determined to face whatever obstacles they were singing about…was it all in their imagination that they came together in the first place? Or…do they all even exist in this space in the same time? Is Cesar sitting on the staircase, remembering fallen members of his group who at one time gave each other strength? Is Eli separated from his teammates, chronicling their exploits in his journal for future generations to find? We’ll never know: “the past is gone.” Music stuffs that I appreciated: Guys….vocals slides give me immediate goosebumps. They are so tasty. You got my attention with Eli’s and Cesar’s amazing asymmetrical slide at 0:22, and Geoff’s slide at 1:36 ending on that F1 subharmonic sent delicious shivers down my spine. *rewind-repeat-rewind-repeat* The inverted chords in the backing vocals at 0:51 swirl around ethereally, initially conveying a sense of despair which, by the end of the phrase, transition to a feeling of resolve and determination. There are similar chords at 3:04 which are a bit closer in voicing with a few more dissonant notes which, to me, sound a little more forlorn. Just when you think you know Layne’s entire library of sounds, he gives us 1:03 and 2:27, and that panning across left and right and back again which fits in perfectly with the setting of this old abandoned place. In a similar percussive vein, I really enjoyed the little jolting moments at 1:46 and 2:05 - they provided great interest without causing a break in the stride of the song. The astounding trio harmony at 2:47 (seriously, can we just stand and applaud for a moment here??) left my jaw hanging open - it was SO incredibly passionate and emotional! Underneath that, Geoff’s ascending subharmonic scale, ending with a jump of OVER TWO OCTAVES up to C4 and then, of course, jumping BACK DOWN sequential octaves to get back to that C2 (can we just stand and applaud AGAIN?) - yeah…this whole section was complete and utter perfection.
"was it all in their imagination that they came together in the first place? Or…do they all even exist in this space in the same time?" Well D*mn, I didn't think this video concept could get much darker, but thinking about it from this angle.... I think I might cry again 😭 On a lighter note, "rewind-repeat-rewind-repeat" - It has crossed my mind to wonder multiple times when going back to a particular juicy note or phrase - do the guys look back at TH-cam analytics and see major viewing spikes at iconic moments like this? 🤣
I particularly love that you hear EVERY word clearly enunciated in their versions ❤❤❤❤ The quality of the vocals, arrangement etc - fantastic. Instant favourite.
Voice Play doesn't disappoint and this is no exception. Loved this version of Dream On. And I'm going to keep in mind the lyrics and looking in the mirror and seeing the lines on your face getting clearer. At age 66, yes! Hint: Would love to see Omar become a permanent member of Voice Play if he wants to do so.
I'm watching Cesar and Omar singing side by side and my brain is screaming, "announce him as permanent already!" 'Cause they all sound so good together.
Looks like an abandoned cheese factory. De brie is everywhere. It is now confirmed that Geoff is a cat in human form with his batting a piece of wood around. This was an amazing piece! Layne's beatboxing stood out to me personally in this one. (The things that mouth can do) Everyone's stunning vocals in this one. Now excuse me while I continue to abuse the replay button.
Omar should win the Voice with John Legend! My husband and I love his voice. We’ve listened to his videos going back to when he was a young man. He’s worked hard and he deserves to win!
First time my husband actually watched the Voice from start to finish. We were both "okay" w/Leatherwood winning, but Brodie (NO offense meant) should've been out by then, and Omar should've been 2nd (or 1st). I'm getting him to watch this season...we'll see. He's still ticked off over Omar not placing MUCH higher.
This is fierce and sad and hopeful. They've captured those times when you feel like clear skies are behind you and the storm will last forever, but you keep on believing that somewhere up ahead is peace and beauty: sunbeams breaking through the towering clouds, and a pristine world awash with golden light. Dream on! Dream on.
I was initially really worried about that crazy high "Dream On" in there...Eli, Omar and Cesar hit it so hard I had goosebumps for several minutes after. That was absolutely incredible. Geoff was killing me with the bass as always and Layne's beat never fails to impress...but those three definitely stood out for this song.
Hard to type with the chills still running down my spine and arms, but... YAS!! That is an amazing recommendation. I would 💖LOVE 💖 to hear that as well. Doubtless they'd do it better than the original (and I really like the original, nevermind the haters).
Actually, they have a version of that on Patreon, but without video. It’s an old one I believe, I think from when Tony was still their baritone. It’s featuring Emoni Wilkins. It’s beautiful!!! I wish they would make it public!
Eli, Caesar, and Omar don’t get enough credit for this! And NEVER forget how much Layne puts in to make the songs so flawless. And Geoff the God of Bass…what more can I say? DREAM ON!
The 3 part upward slide in the beginning 'the past is gone' - so hard to do, and so well done. I had to play it over a few times just to marvel at how the intervals stayed true all the way up the slide.
You all are badass individually as well as a group and I believe that your harmony is so tight because no one tries to outdo anyone but we hear each of you and it frickin' works......beautifully!!
Geoff and Eli have always masterfully anchored the bass and tenor lines and had some standout moments, no exception here, but the center…. Talented members and guests have come, created some gems, and gone, but VoicePlay with Cesar + layer on Omar: BOOM!!!
Absolutely BEAUTIFULLY done guys!!! Proving two things....you guys can do ANYTHING....and even an apocalypse can't make Geoff's luscious locks look anything less than AHHHHHmazing lol
Layne- you're insane... in the best ways. That shouldn't be humanly possible Geoff- never disappoints... ever... like... never-ever Caesar- your voice is just as smooth in English as your Spanish... wow! Eli- that rock rasp, phew
@@bigmidget19 Yesss! I'd left another comment on here saying I was glad to see him back as well. I can only vouche for the sound, obviously- but he really seems a great fit. I like Jose, too! (Hoist the Colors)
This song was on my high school juke box when it was just a couple years old. Next year, it will be 50 years old. The past is gone, but the music lives on. Thank you.
I was looking for Omar Cardona TH-cam channel and premium TH-cam put this on my face . My goodness Omar with this amazing Acapella group as great as The Pentatonix. Wow indeed.
This is BRILLIANT!!! Eli, Cesar and Omar, y’all nailed it! Incredibly well done! Layne, I truly have no idea how in the world you were making those amazing vocal percussions. Your creativity is off the charts. Geoff, may I just say, you sounded very "Geoff Castellucci"!!! I honestly can’t think of a greater compliment than that! You are the most uniquely talented and creative vocal artist I’ve ever seen or heard. Pure musical genius at its best!! I LOVE ME SOME VOICEPLAY!!!
With that attitude, do you want Voiceplay to do more of their new songs covers? What songs do you want for them to do? I pick: Everything I do ( do it for You) by Bryan Adams, collaborate with Adam Rupp from Home Free as second beatboxer because he sounds like a drum.
Geoffs bass is literally the greatest thing I've ever seen. Those subharmonic F1s he has literally blow me away. I've been trying to learn subharmonics and I can tell I have a long way to go before I get to his level
Eli's voice is always so clean and he hits every note with such precision! Layne keeps the beat in awesome ways that tie the whole meody together, somehow Geoff's voice only gets lower with every song and gives the music such a backbone, Cesar adds style with a fluid and full voice, and Omar has an amazing range that I could listen to all day! Keep it up voiceplay!
As a fan of Classic Rock (this song is from my generation), this blew my mind! Wow! Who would think an A Cappella group could sing and perform this on this level? Y’all were phenomenal! Bravo!!!
I have to say I'm getting very close to these post.apocalyptic gentlemen. This is amazing. They get better and better with each video. They are all unique singers.Including Layne and he is an incredible beat boxer as well. Over 15 hours ago I said I knew it would be a masterpiece, and it it is that and more. Its a gift to all those who love VoicePlay. Thank you all.
I'm very surprised that this didn't reach the million views yet. It's so so so so good. I know the number of views doesn't matter to recognize true talent but damn..this is fire.
I think the risk with classic rock songs like this is that some people cannot enjoy any sound but the original. I love this, but was never an Aerosmith fan. My husband says this is good, but he likes the original better so he doesn't rave about this to friends. Sometimes the best songs don't do as well just because of that, I think. To get more views a song needs lots of people getting other people to watch it. I did get my aunt, an opera singer and vocal teacher, to listen and she loves this. That is high praise.
@@CJ_536 Thank you for your very accurate answer and you're absolutely right. Songs like this one are risky to take. It's a legendary one. I'm not into rock but they took a great risk in my point of view. Your aunt has excellent music taste.
@@thisismisskay Risks are necessary for success! This might not have gone viral but it is still an excellent song that continues to increase in views. So definitely a worthy risk in my book. And yes, my aunt has great taste. She also has high vocal standards and has been praising the quality of the technique used by these gentlemen, especially Geoff. :)
Wow! Loovvvvee the setting and the clothes. So original, so well orchestrated, such a powerful arrangement for these guys to each show their voices. This is now officially my favorite version of this song. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve always loved Aerosmith and Dream On is one of my absolute favourites of theirs. I’ve heard quite a few covers but this is BY FAR the best! Eli with the gritty rock sound, Geoff’s earth shaking bass, Layne - is he even human? Omar’s amazing tone and clarity… …and OMG Cesar! Wait! What?! That ridiculously high belt??!! Almost fell out of my chair! Going into this I had doubts whether or not you guys would even attempt that Steven Tyler scream and you freaking nailed it!!! Thank you for sharing your talents and skills with the world.
The dystopian feel of the set, like Warriors, brings a lot of atmosphere, but VP brings the musical goods. Love the original and this an amazing a capella version. VP always has new editing and camera tricks, but in the end, all a capella comes down to is the voices - and they have them and know how to use them. The more I see Omar Cardona with them, the better I like how he fits in.
Everyone is being distracted by Geoff's bass notes at that point to notice that harmony, atleast the first time around, but yes that harmony is really great 😊
That was the first thing I noticed. It's addictive. Then the part before that from 2:37 to 2:43 I repeat this part like 10000x I love how the threesome sing dream on in their own way not at the same time. Again, those parts are addictive and eargasmic.
Setting aside the fact that this is the most *original* arrangement of this song I've ever heard - I LOVE the vibe here. It has a real Linsey Stirling & Pentatonix "Radioactive" feel to it. Cool!!!!!! Note in "most original" comment above - yes, to me even over PMJ and Morgan James (an ASTONISHING cover) P.S. Can you guys just go ahead and make Omar a permanent member???? He fits your group SO damn well!
@@deanmarion5477 Agree with the thinking. IMO (and just opinion) Omar seems a countertenor. When his and Eli's parts overlap, it reminds me very much of the dynamic between Mitch and Kirsten (I still think of her as Kirstie) of Pentatonix. Part of PTX's magic is the ability to swap off parts seamlessly. It happens with Kirsten and Mitch, or Scott and Avi (now Matt). They can do it so quickly and effortlessly that it gives the illusion of there being more voices present than actually are. I'm hearing the same thing with Eli and Omar. On more than one occasion I've thought maybe VoicePlay should consider adding a female voice, but realize they probably DON'T want to be seen as copying Pentatonix.
@@jeffk1482: Voiceplay don’t have counter tenor because Eil is tenor 2 and Cesar de la Rosa he is baritenor. You also compare that with Penatatonix like you say: Mitch Grassi ( which he is countertenor) Kirsten ( which she is mezzo - soprano)
Am I crazy or Geoff sounds like some engine? And Layne blows my mind! I mean what the hell was that sound? Not to mention the high notes trio...Eli, Ceasar and Omar you just killed it! Thank you for the experience.
I love it when Eli gets a chance to rock. His voice is perfect. Omar's acting has improved by a a logarithmic jump over the last two videos - he is reacting, moving, and jumping - really beginning to fit into the VoicePlay performance.
KILLED IT AS PER USUAL. Geoff u are not human go away, Omar, Eli and Cesar just astonishing (THAT HIGH NOTE OH MY DAYS) honestly I’m struggling to function. AND LAYNE popping off as always, no idea how you make those sounds its amazing! love you guys so much this was amazing❤️
You really need to do more old rocks songs like this...grew up with this music and its nice to see someone bring it back around at this time. More of these please.
The brave apocalyptic warriors of Voiceplay have clearly been out fighting yet another great battle, but luckily are now safely back at their safe place, and to shake off todays battle they choose sing together to keep the faith and the dream of a better and brighter tomorrow alive.
@@robertofiend1264 I wouldn't go that far....but it's comparing apples to oranges. Very different moods & very different arrangements. I think they are both OMG good, just in different ways. :)
Okay, after just coming back to this, if you listen really closely to 2:54, you can hear their voices blend , and there is an E6 overtone. Just a cool little thing I thought I might point out.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been waiting for a song that highlighted Eli's Rock God voice and grit. And this is it! He is such an amazingly versatile performer that every role he is asked to perform is absolutely amazing, but to be able to focus that Rock God voice that not many people have that naturally is fabulous! Thank you and again fabulous. All of you were stunning, and the blend of Eli, Cesar, and Omar - perfection. Geoff - I love the arrangement and you never fail to stop my heart with your voice! And Layne I don't know how you keep making the percussion sound unique to each song - wow!
Whoever does the beatboxing is absolutely insane!
His name is Layne Stein 😊
I think he is pretty monstrously talented but then I have to say....so is everybody else....I really like their music and videos
I am a 50yo woman who was alive during the Rocker times, big fan of Aerosmith, you honoured this timeless song gentlemen! Bravo!
Dream On is not a song I would have ever imagined could be done a capella, but you guys absolutely rocked this. The tenor harmonies are insane, Geoff's bassline is wild, and Layne as ever continues to make sounds that shouldn't legally come out of a human being. I also love how this feels like it takes place in the same world as Warriors, maybe a few years down the road. Warriors 2: Hey Look, the Future Still Sucks
Couldn't have said it better
Both Geoff and Layne continue to make sounds that shouldn't legally come out of a human being
Would you have expected wayward son?
@@Iansco1 Good point! Always crazy to see them cover rock songs, given how incredibly instrument-heavy those are. Hard to imagine anyone other than VoicePlay having both the guts to try in the first place and insane talent to actually pull it off.
Totally agree with the "Layne as ever continues to make sounds that shouldn't legally come out of a human being"!! At the moment i heard Layne's percussion, me > 😲😲😲😮🤩🥰🥰
Eli, Ceasar, and Omar: the tenor trio I never knew I needed.
How did the walls of this half-wrecked school hold up and the floor didn't collapse after Geoff's subharmonics followed by three warrior tenors? No clue..
🤣
Well, I guess that was the deal with the City. VoicePlay can make the Video in the Building and afterwards Geoff will use his subharmonics-ultrabase with the help of the supertenors waves to wreck the place. Win-win for the city by saving money for a company to do it and having this great guys for videoshooting in town.
Shut up overly eager fan
..and (don't forget) those rumbling sound of the drums...
It was out of respect
That 3 tenor harmony on the high part is a straight up eargasm.
Damn, just DAMN! No matter how loyal you are to the original, you cannot help but be moved by this. Dream on, indeed.
GEOFF WENT OFF!! He didnt show mercy or hold back with the lows.
Everyone else killed it. Those highs were spectacular. Yall didnt hold back at all!!!
Shut up overly eager fan!
EPIC! A person can always count Voice Play to do something OUTSTANDING. BRAVISSIMO!
OMG!!!!!! I JUST SAW OMAR ON THE VOICE!!!!! WE NEED TO VOTE FOR HIM THIS SEASON!!!!!!
Yes!!!! Actually all those guys should go on one at a time and they would all win each season
He’s amazing
Omar gets my 10 votes every week. He deserves to win.
That’s how I ended up here, he’s Great.
It's official..I'm addicted to these marvelous young men!!! What beautiful voices!!!!!
They're actually in their 40's or late 30's!
Geoff's voice just gets deeper and more resonant with time. Damn! I think he made the walls vibrate with this one.
@The Guitar Ha!
Got that right
I just saw Omar sing on The Voice USA that has John Legend Blake Shelton Gwen Stefani and Camilla He sang a Journey song and Got a 4 chair turn me and my fiance were like OMG thats Omar from Voiceplay WHAT!!!!

OMG the runs between Eli and Omar were absolutely crazy. Awesome upgrade to this Iconic song.
Such an inspiring song... and Cesar's falsetto riff at the end was magical. No other words.
That was insane!!
There was nothing that I didn't love about this one. And I need more Omar in my life.
Here from The Voice, and now here to stay
Welcome to the VoicePlay rabbit hole!
I 100% agree with the idea that Omar should be a permanent member of voiceplay if he wants to join he would be such an amazing addition to the group
Between 2:43 and 2:56 what Geoff did at the background is crazy ... such a voice juggler ...
Whoa, cool. I think I might have missed it without your comment.
Wow amazing, thank you for the comment that made me listen again and focus on that part. Now i cant stop listening🙈🥰
Ouvir no fone de ouvido sempre é bom, pois mostra todos esses detalhes. Nesse tempo decorrido informado, é insano d+.
EXTRAORDINARY!! Love the close harmony! Voice Play never disappoints. 100 diamonds to 100 diamonds!
Those guys slayed this Aerosmith cover. Steven Tyler and his band mates would be so proud.
The way geoff looks at 1:37 is just perfection
I am 67 & I never liked Aerosmith or rock bands like them because you can't understand a word they sing. Voice Play however knocked this out of the park as they always do. That ending with Cesar, Omar & Eli with those high notes are out of this world amazing.
Those high notes from Eli, Cesar and Omar, WOW!

Wooow! 0:30, 2:06 and 2:45 it was incredible, in my opinion. Low notes,riffs/runs , high notes, beatboxing and the vocal percussion all perfect. 👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely BEAUTIFULLY done guys!!! Proving two things....you guys can do ANYTHING....and even an apocalypse can't make Geoff's luscious locks look anything less than AHHHHHmazing lol
I'm here after seeing Omar Jose Cardona on The Voice Season 22👍👍👍👍 I love Omar's voice❤❤❤❤ I'm glad that I came here😃😃😃😃 Omar is amazing🤩🤩🤩🤩
Eli kill the song with rock voice
Geoff you are amazing
Layne very great beatboxing
Omar and Cesar I love yours voice 😍
The song, the voices, the cinematography, everything = perfect.
I’m really impressed with your comment,if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
Layne- you're insane... in the best ways. That shouldn't be humanly possible
Geoff- never disappoints... ever... like... never-ever
Caesar- your voice is just as smooth in English as your Spanish... wow!
Eli- that rock rasp, phew
🤤
I agree
Don't forget how beautiful Omar's voice is as well. I am glad that did another collab with him
@@bigmidget19 Yesss! I'd left another comment on here saying I was glad to see him back as well. I can only vouche for the sound, obviously- but he really seems a great fit. I like Jose, too! (Hoist the Colors)
@@sinnocent6086 Honestly all the people they Collab with are great singers of their own right. Still this is one group you can't get tired of
As a nurse, I would love to see a photo of Geoff’s vocal chords. Amazing.
This song was on my high school juke box when it was just a couple years old. Next year, it will be 50 years old. The past is gone, but the music lives on. Thank you.
I was looking for Omar Cardona TH-cam channel and premium TH-cam put this on my face . My goodness Omar with this amazing Acapella group as great as The Pentatonix. Wow indeed.
This is BRILLIANT!!! Eli, Cesar and Omar, y’all nailed it! Incredibly well done! Layne, I truly have no idea how in the world you were making those amazing vocal percussions. Your creativity is off the charts. Geoff, may I just say, you sounded very "Geoff Castellucci"!!! I honestly can’t think of a greater compliment than that! You are the most uniquely talented and creative vocal artist I’ve ever seen or heard. Pure musical genius at its best!! I LOVE ME SOME VOICEPLAY!!!
Nobody does it better than Voice Play at whatever they do.
With that attitude, do you want Voiceplay to do more of their new songs covers? What songs do you want for them to do? I pick: Everything I do ( do it for You) by Bryan Adams, collaborate with Adam Rupp from Home Free as second beatboxer because he sounds like a drum.
7/15. THIS 80 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER MUST HEAR THIS DAILY! IT IS SO MOVING!
Geoffs bass is literally the greatest thing I've ever seen. Those subharmonic F1s he has literally blow me away. I've been trying to learn subharmonics and I can tell I have a long way to go before I get to his level
Took me awhile I can hit f1's only when i'm on the toilet when I wake up
What songs do you see for Voiceplay to do? Make sure for Geoff for complex Bassline.
Exceptional. Your rendition made me fall in love with this song all over again.
This is the reminder why I started listening to you guys in the first place. FABULOUS!!!
Eli's voice is always so clean and he hits every note with such precision! Layne keeps the beat in awesome ways that tie the whole meody together, somehow Geoff's voice only gets lower with every song and gives the music such a backbone, Cesar adds style with a fluid and full voice, and Omar has an amazing range that I could listen to all day!
Keep it up voiceplay!
Eil: He is so clear for his vocal as a tenor 2 with precise energetic tone that he has.
As a fan of Classic Rock (this song is from my generation), this blew my mind! Wow! Who would think an A Cappella group could sing and perform this on this level? Y’all were phenomenal! Bravo!!!
My chills had chills! What in the world???!!! You guys are geniuses!!!
I have to say I'm getting very close to these post.apocalyptic gentlemen. This is amazing. They get better and better with each video. They are all unique singers.Including Layne and he is an incredible beat boxer as well. Over 15 hours ago I said I knew it would be a masterpiece, and it it is that and more. Its a gift to all those who love VoicePlay. Thank you all.
Imagine Omar did this track in the finals with this group Acapella!?!?
I just noticed It was him! I watched the Voice videos and It was like "oh! This guy seems familiar to me"....
I'm very surprised that this didn't reach the million views yet. It's so so so so good. I know the number of views doesn't matter to recognize true talent but damn..this is fire.
I think the risk with classic rock songs like this is that some people cannot enjoy any sound but the original. I love this, but was never an Aerosmith fan. My husband says this is good, but he likes the original better so he doesn't rave about this to friends. Sometimes the best songs don't do as well just because of that, I think. To get more views a song needs lots of people getting other people to watch it. I did get my aunt, an opera singer and vocal teacher, to listen and she loves this. That is high praise.
@@CJ_536 Thank you for your very accurate answer and you're absolutely right. Songs like this one are risky to take. It's a legendary one. I'm not into rock but they took a great risk in my point of view. Your aunt has excellent music taste.
@@thisismisskay Risks are necessary for success! This might not have gone viral but it is still an excellent song that continues to increase in views. So definitely a worthy risk in my book. And yes, my aunt has great taste. She also has high vocal standards and has been praising the quality of the technique used by these gentlemen, especially Geoff. :)
It's at 1 million.... By 644 views.
@@davidparkes7741 Yay!!
Wow! Loovvvvee the setting and the clothes. So original, so well orchestrated, such a powerful arrangement for these guys to each show their voices. This is now officially my favorite version of this song. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve always loved Aerosmith and Dream On is one of my absolute favourites of theirs. I’ve heard quite a few covers but this is BY FAR the best! Eli with the gritty rock sound, Geoff’s earth shaking bass, Layne - is he even human? Omar’s amazing tone and clarity… …and OMG Cesar! Wait! What?! That ridiculously high belt??!! Almost fell out of my chair! Going into this I had doubts whether or not you guys would even attempt that Steven Tyler scream and you freaking nailed it!!!
Thank you for sharing your talents and skills with the world.
This is a much better rendition than the original. No competition. Spectacular vocals!
Magnificent! Eli is a rock God! Geoff is the bass monster. Cesar is so elegant. Omar is unreal. Layne is unstoppable! Bravo!
The dystopian feel of the set, like Warriors, brings a lot of atmosphere, but VP brings the musical goods. Love the original and this an amazing a capella version. VP always has new editing and camera tricks, but in the end, all a capella comes down to is the voices - and they have them and know how to use them.
The more I see Omar Cardona with them, the better I like how he fits in.
Something about this hits differently
HOLY SHIT THOSE HIGH NOTES
2:44 - 2:54 nobody's talking about that harmony high belting? Holy shit that was mad impressive
Everyone is being distracted by Geoff's bass notes at that point to notice that harmony, atleast the first time around, but yes that harmony is really great 😊
That was the first thing I noticed. It's addictive. Then the part before that from 2:37 to 2:43 I repeat this part like 10000x I love how the threesome sing dream on in their own way not at the same time. Again, those parts are addictive and eargasmic.
Thats the best part! Eargasm, on repeat for god knows how many times haha! Can’t believe they reached that high! 😱🔥
Setting aside the fact that this is the most *original* arrangement of this song I've ever heard - I LOVE the vibe here. It has a real Linsey Stirling & Pentatonix "Radioactive" feel to it. Cool!!!!!!
Note in "most original" comment above - yes, to me even over PMJ and Morgan James (an ASTONISHING cover)
P.S. Can you guys just go ahead and make Omar a permanent member???? He fits your group SO damn well!
First off, find out his vocal type is he? ( Omar) based on his vocal type is a go for Voiceplay to have him permanent.
@@deanmarion5477 Agree with the thinking. IMO (and just opinion) Omar seems a countertenor. When his and Eli's parts overlap, it reminds me very much of the dynamic between Mitch and Kirsten (I still think of her as Kirstie) of Pentatonix. Part of PTX's magic is the ability to swap off parts seamlessly. It happens with Kirsten and Mitch, or Scott and Avi (now Matt). They can do it so quickly and effortlessly that it gives the illusion of there being more voices present than actually are. I'm hearing the same thing with Eli and Omar. On more than one occasion I've thought maybe VoicePlay should consider adding a female voice, but realize they probably DON'T want to be seen as copying Pentatonix.
@@jeffk1482: Voiceplay don’t have counter tenor because Eil is tenor 2 and Cesar de la Rosa he is baritenor. You also compare that with Penatatonix like you say: Mitch Grassi ( which he is countertenor) Kirsten ( which she is mezzo - soprano)
Am I crazy or Geoff sounds like some engine? And Layne blows my mind! I mean what the hell was that sound? Not to mention the high notes trio...Eli, Ceasar and Omar you just killed it! Thank you for the experience.
I love it when Eli gets a chance to rock. His voice is perfect. Omar's acting has improved by a a logarithmic jump over the last two videos - he is reacting, moving, and jumping - really beginning to fit into the VoicePlay performance.
that low and high tone is just perfect
I put this song on my JBL speakers with bass boosted. My house walls shook a bit. I got scared.
Mister Geoff is awesome
Whos come here coz omar... and the colab just perfect..
KILLED IT AS PER USUAL. Geoff u are not human go away, Omar, Eli and Cesar just astonishing (THAT HIGH NOTE OH MY DAYS) honestly I’m struggling to function. AND LAYNE popping off as always, no idea how you make those sounds its amazing! love you guys so much this was amazing❤️
The ending gave me shivers.
And that clicking slide/run that Layne did - how?!
Amazing job yet again, gentlemen.
You really need to do more old rocks songs like this...grew up with this music and its nice to see someone bring it back around at this time. More of these please.
I wondered how they could pull this off with just vocals. What a brilliant re-imagining of this classic!
The brave apocalyptic warriors of Voiceplay have clearly been out fighting yet another great battle, but luckily are now safely back at their safe place, and to shake off todays battle they choose sing together to keep the faith and the dream of a better and brighter tomorrow alive.
EPIC! FABULOUS! Love the close harmony!
so excited for everyone to see this, it's SO GOOD!!!
I must agree. This beats Hoist The Colours in my opinion
@@robertofiend1264 to me, any songs by Voiceplay is better than the original.
Same. Love this. Don't know that I put it above Hoist the Colours, but definitely top 10 VP song
@@robertofiend1264 I wouldn't go that far....but it's comparing apples to oranges. Very different moods & very different arrangements. I think they are both OMG good, just in different ways. :)
@@deanmarion5477 Yeah it is. They are highly consistent in their excessive quality. :D
Okay, after just coming back to this, if you listen really closely to 2:54, you can hear their voices blend , and there is an E6 overtone. Just a cool little thing I thought I might point out.
E6 is absolutely unreal! Thanks for pointing it out even if im late
At 2:19 I just want to give Geoff the BIGGEST hug. That is a look of pure pain and I want to do everything in my power to take it away.
Wow, I thought only NATURALLY 7 guys are talented. But I just discovered another accapella that I love!!!!! I love you both!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been waiting for a song that highlighted Eli's Rock God voice and grit. And this is it! He is such an amazingly versatile performer that every role he is asked to perform is absolutely amazing, but to be able to focus that Rock God voice that not many people have that naturally is fabulous! Thank you and again fabulous. All of you were stunning, and the blend of Eli, Cesar, and Omar - perfection. Geoff - I love the arrangement and you never fail to stop my heart with your voice! And Layne I don't know how you keep making the percussion sound unique to each song - wow!
Beautiful... just beautiful. For anyone wondering, highest note is Cesar, he just confirmed in Mortius` newest vid
