Okay, immediately adding Skyrim music to my playlists, and the game to my "games I need to play" list ⚔Coming out of the gate with a C#1 subharmonic, we immediately get swept off into a land of myth and legend -- shoutout to VoicePlay for taking on this iconic video game theme, and giving us more excellent music to enjoy. Any other video game music (and/or covers of video game music) you guys want me to analyze?
Also, PSA: I realized at now o' clock that I totally forgot my Pit Vipers for this one!!! Let it be known that Geoff earned Pit Viper status on the opening C#1 subharmonic! 🐍
I really love Your analysis. Just one thing - around minute 23 You hear change in sound quality in the high notes. It is not. It is just Omar taking over from Eli really smoothly
And PS; please get better soon. You look a bit pale
@@mkozicka Oh good call!
@UC9vKsyoL_a9iWxllxcP%F0%9F%91%BB%F0%9F%91%BBDETg Lol the blue ring light sometimes does me dirty...although I definitely haven't gotten much sun this winter anyway 👻 I'm not sick though!
@@mkozicka Lol the blue ring light sometimes does me dirty...although I definitely haven't gotten much sun this winter anyway 👻 I'm not sick though!
Layne did that thump thump thump by holding the mic against his throat while making that sound . He showed how he did it live on stage doing a drum solo.
i see, thats interesting
This is a great analysis of a great song. The language is Dovahzuul, or Dragon Speak, which was created for the soundtrack and the dragon you fight in the game. If you hear Fus Ro Dah, that means Force Balance Push, and is a shout called Unrelenting Force. The first Word of Power you learn, Fus, is in Bleak Falls Barrow when you retrieve the Dragonstone. This shout will send your opponents flying off of cliffs, so be careful when using all three Words of Power.
Great insight -- thanks for sharing 🙏
@@PeterBarber You're welcome.
When they sang Fus Ro Dah, you can see an effect like the Unrelenting force shout from skyrim.
@@Redrickson1 Good eye. I missed it.
The Fus-Roh-Dah part gave me chills 💯
As for the "audio engineering" bit on the high note, Eli and Omar are singing the exact same note, which in and of itself sounds unique and gives it that texture. I saw it mentioned elsewhere that Omar's voice was brought forward to be the more prominent voice at the climax of the high note. From what I've been able to gather, their voices weren't tailored much at all, just that Omar's voice was made prominent.
The arpeggio bass runs are in the original too but to have the gall the have a singer reproduce them-that really shows VoicePlay's faith in Geoff's ability! Amazing
I'm pretty sure this arrangement was made by Geoff, at least that's what I heard from The Charismatic Voice
@@wongcayven9893 Yes, you're right, says it in the video description too, didn't notice that.
I love how he does an arpeggio, then does the next inversion of it, goes back to the first, then the inversion again.
(Basically he starts out (5)-1-3-5-8...etc. and then goes 1-3-5-8....etc. before heading back down to the starting pitch, then repeats )
Nerd comment alert: The language they were singing in is called Dovahzul, or the dragon language. It was made up by Jeremy Soule (the soundtrack composer) for the Elder Scrolls games.
Yeah Jeremy went home and came up with the dragon language overnight.
He sneezed out a completely foreign language that’s completely consistent with English overnight! That’s- uh… that’s something!
You've become my hands down favorite reaction channel, along with the charismatic voice. The knowledge you bring to the table is just mesmerizing. Love your work!
Geoffe's arpeggiated bass runs starting at 3:03 are amazing!
I love that no one really paid enough attention to the fact that he did an arpeggio, did the next inversion of the arpeggio, then repeated the whole.
That's hard enough to play, let alone sing.
Peter, thank you for pointing out how technically difficult Geoff's arpeggios are from 2:54 to 3:09. He certainly mastered it and I am sure it took many hours of rehearsal. It is great to hear a musician such as you appreciating it as much as I do.
(Professor McGonagall style) "Do you need a cough drop?" 🤣
23:07 thats omar that does the E5, thats why it sounds different
For the strange sound i think is beatbox with the microphone outside the throat on his neck. Check tom thum TedX speech where he does a muffeled sound so beautiful. Its surely produce but not that much. Keep up the great work 💪
That’s kinda what I was thinking too
Layne the beat boxer did this live & it sounded exactly like it. Not produced, that's how good Layne is.
I love when a song is so good it allows you to nerd out, both musically and analytically. Lol. Haven't seen you pull out the stank face much Peter. 😂😂😂
Even though you didn't sail on the Skyrim boat, you clearly love Lord of the Rings. Which for me beats out everything in fantasy. 💚💚💚
Have you seen The Hillywood Show’s LOTR/Hobbit parodies?
My son works for the Sky Rim game company! He just passed auditions to be on the next version soundtrack! He's so excited! 🤗
Well congrats I can't wait to hear it
That’s delightful for him and you. Congratulations!
They’re going to remaster the soundtrack for the PS5/Xbox seriesS/X generation? Cool!
That is so cool!
Geoff is often the bass guitar in many videos, and it's always so accurate, sometimes he ican be seen doing the fingering at the same time. Skills. Reactors who know the game are very impressed by this, as it combines the song from the game with the theme music of the game. Plus that they are singing in Dovahzuul and including the Fus Ro Dah, That really tickles enthusiasts. Interesting note: that chainmail shirt on Cesar weighs 20 lbs. He had to keep lying down on the floor between shots as it hurt his shoulders so much. That's dedication.
Poor Cesar.....But I agree with you, that is true dedication to the craft.....
Can you imagine actually fighting in a battle in chain mail? Those knights must have been beasts.
That high part when you say Eli gets produced, I believe that is Omar. Eli drops out and he takes over. Its great to listen to your analysis, I pick up more than I do when listening to it myself.
In the original video, it is easier to see that the part in question is being sung by both Eli and Omar. That is why it sounds like it has a different timbre and was engineered. You are hearing the notes doubled, and not exactly identical. The blend sounds wonderful.
That high "odd pitch" was the blending of both Eli and Omar.
It sounded like to me, the decided to fully synthesize that particular part
@@looking78757 negative
That shift is Omar joining Eli in that.
I've seen this a few times now and I JUST noticed the skull Geoff is carrying in his right hand lol...
"And what do we say to the god of Death? Not today."
And I believe that's Anduril, is it not? Love the tattoo!!!
Omar's talent apparently runs in the family. His brother is E.J. Cardona, one of the great tenors of Voctave. Omar has done 2 other videos with Voiceplay, I believe, and E.J. has done one with them.
E. J. has now done at least 2 covers with VoicePlay. Go the Distance from Hercules, and I Can't Make You Love Me.
They invented the language for the game. The warriors that slay a dragon, gain the dragon's soul and can use some of the traits. The smoke exhalation is one.
"Not today" - Arya Stark quote from Game Of Thrones...sword, Anduril, Aragon's sword from The Lord Of The Rings...nice ink, Peter.
In-Game of Thrones - the swordmaster Syrio Forel was teaching Arya Stark the sword. Not Today is a saying by Syrio Forel to tell death when it comes.
I think my favorite part is the special effect with the Dragon shout FUS RO DAH! They pay attention to all the small details with the costumes, props. Like Layne sharpening his sword with a stone. Cesar with his 20 lbs of chainmail and gauntlets. The whole package. Omar is in their Carry On Wayward Son and SuperStition videos.
Fun fact, the chainmail and gauntlets were so heavy that Cesar had to lay down between takes.
The reason it's longer is because it's actually two songs. The dragon-language stuff in the middle is a separate song that plays on the game's title screen.
Just in case you havent seen other comments about it but the "tonality change of Eli" was not actual Eli. It was just Omar hitting that E5 thats why it sounded different because it was different person and not Eli :D
To me it sounded like both of them were there.
In the preview version, both Eli and Omar were singing it. Don’t know why they removed Eli singing it.
Geoff starts out in a G sharp 1 then holds it in a C sharp 1 which blows my mind
That sound you heard was my squeal of delight. I was hoping you'd do one for this song! I love when VoicePlay goes full out with the costuming/settings for their songs, and this one's one of their best. And I *love* your new tattoo! Anduril (fka Narsil, the Sword That was Broken), Aragorn's sword from Lord of the Rings, and the answer to the question "What do we say to the god of Death?" in Game of Thrones (And in the GoT font. Extra cool points. :) ) Well met, fellow fantasy fan!
I heard that the deep voice is symbolic of someone who is "Dragonborn" as they speak with the deep voice of a dragon.
I would encourage you to listen to Voiceplay with Omar Cordona sing “Carry On Wayward Son”. It is one of my favorites! Such a classic rock song and they do such a fantastic job with it. It is arranged by Layne and Eli.
Thank you for the R&A Peter. Interesting as ever.
That sound effect is Layne....the beat boxer....amazing
Probably already answered some time past, the tattoo is GoT, "There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today'," Syrio Forel said to Arya during her training. Also in slaying the Night King.... and countless memes across the interdragonet.
A great fantasy series to read is by Raymond E feist, his magician series
You should check out some of Malukah's Skyrim content. Her fans loved her Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online covers so much that they successfully petitioned Bethesda to have her made a Bard in Elder Scrolls Online! ( Her covers are very Bard-like. She even recently had a Mandolin specially crafted to do her music. She recently did a remake for the Skyrim Anniversary) Peter Hollens also does several of Skyrim's songs with her and solo. His solo cover of this is beautiful. His cover of the Skyrim theme with violinist Lindsey Sterling is epic.
Hearing that arpeggio my first thought was that you'd gonna enjoy that one xD
I had LITERALLY just watched their video before seeing your reaction analysis of it so this is perfect. This was an absolutely wonderful piece. I love hearing songs like this as u really hear how good they are with sounds not only singing. It's fantastic. Smooth and soothing, I really can't say enough how great this is.
You should totally take a look at Colm McGuinness’ videos. His covers are amazing! Especially his old Norse version of my mother told me and his old Norse version of if I had a heart.
SOOOOO Happy you reacted to this as quick as you did. As soon as I heard it upon release my first thought was that you HAD to react to it. Such a great recreation, of course they absolutely nailed it, and you're analysis is spot on! Keep it up bro!
Oh sweet! Didn’t expect to see this one so fast! Aaaaaaaawesome. I knew you’d dig that opening note. Lol. They really do an epic job with this one. All of their interpretations are so well thought out and produced. I just love them. Great reaction!
That low tone that you refer to being "engineered" or "processed" is their beat-boxer, Layne. It is well within his capabilities ;)
Wow, this was quite amazing! What a wide range of voices, the lows and the highs, and the atmosphere was perfect for this song! I really liked it and, of course, the analysis was spot on.
Just so you know, seeing that you’ve done a reaction to a song I like makes my day.
"What do we say to death?"
"Not Today."
Thanks for another great analysis, was excited to see you do this one! Also, cool shirt 😎 just got my Bass Gang sweatshirt, it’s very comfortable! 👍🏻
I couldn’t wait to see your reaction to this. You didn’t disappoint 😊
Gaming and music nerds are one of my favorite nerd crossovers. So much affection for this comment section.
This is really epic! I love every part of it!!
I did wonder why you had Anduril with a Game of Thrones quote. Glad to know the mashup was deliberate! It's on my list of swords to make.
The last sound reminds me of someone tapping a finger on a mic to see if it is on.
In regards to the time, part of it is that this is actually a combination of two songs from the game. The English portions at the beginning and end are "The Dragonborn Comes", one of the songs performed by bards in game. The central segment is "Dovahkiin", the games main theme
Is the the fabulous HIGHvoice from OMAR before the words FUS RO DAH!!!.
"idk what language this is..." Its Dovahzul, a main language in Skyrim
i sing bass, and i can barely, barely, pull off his lower notes, and of course not as well. Props to him for hitting those subterranean notes,.
Hey Peter, that part where you noticed the tambre shift, thats because on that high note it's actually Omar, Eli does the buildup then Omar takes the cake, at least I think so. Great reaction!
Thanks for the analysis and reaction. Always interesting.
You mentioned Voiceplay's My Mother Told Me so you've seen it. Now you must react to it. It is my favorite!
Love your reaction/analysis ! Now all I am waiting for is the announcement that some major Game maker is going to have Voiceplay do their music from the get-go.
The language that is from Skyrim of called Dovahzul. The name literally translates to dragon voice.
The language they are singing is called Dragontongue, or Dragonspeak. It's akin to ancient Elvish.
Omar also sings with them on ‘Carry on my wayward son’, and you get to hear his voice and variety a lot more. It’s one of their older and less ‘theatrical’ covers but it’s a wonderful interpretation with some fun ‘Geoff being a bass guitar’ moments.
Omar was featured in their cover of Carry On My Wayward Son.
And he was also in their cover of Superstition. That was a great cover and very few people react to it. They did it around Halloween so maybe that's why.
THAT WAS NICE ANALYSIS AND REACTION .
Love that you are a Paolini fan! One of my favorites
I absolutely love your reactions... not only do you have maybe the best technical breakdowns I've seen, but, like... I could just listen to your voice all day. So perfectly rich and sonorous. I don't suppose you've narrated any audiobooks? I could listen to the entirety of [Twilight/50 Shades of Grey/Whatever popular books it's cool to hate these days] to just enjoy your voice.
I think Peter Hollens does a Skyrim cover also. You might want to hear that one. He does more of the war chants. That breathe sound you keep thinking to me sounds like a long held oval exhale amplified. Lots of fun once again!
Lovely. It has the feel of a lived in space, not just a short term stage.
I too hadn't played Skyrim, but I am now! Loving it! Loved your reaction, I checked every day for it since the video went public.
I knew this reaction will come very soon))
The Elder Scrolls theme never fails to grab my little geeky heart and take me on a journey. From Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim, all the variations are SO GOOD. I was geeking and nerding and fangirling out hardcore when I heard this the first time. Several listens and hearing it via your analysis and I'm still getting chills. Fantastic analysis as always! ^_^
Your tattoo is of Needle, Arya Stark's sword, with the defiant quote from Arya's swordmaster teacher about dying - "Not today." 😊
I like the detail you went into with this cover - and can only imagine how much more you'd have added if you also had knowledge of the Elder Scrolls/Skyrim game world this is a tribute to. It's been huge fun watching reactors who are also true Skyrim nerds completely squeeing out to the references within the song - big, strapping men practically bouncing up and down with glee in their chairs will never get old!
Hmm.. the qoute is right👍🏻 But I think the sword is Narsil from LOTR, at least the pommel looks just like it☺️
I love your analysis of everything you do? But to be honest I just love to listen to you talk. It’s warm, soft, soothing. But I have always loved to listen to a deep voice. Some are softer and easier to listen to. Geoff Avi, and you have that kind of voice.
Thank you for what you do!
Loved this reaction, im a fan of your channel, voiceplay and Skyrim. So you know bro, the song is in Dovahzul or Dragon Voice according to the game. Keep up the good work.
Amazing reaction and analysis, as always! I may be entirely wrong, but when Eli’s voice “shifts” at the climax, I assumed when first listening that Omar actually took over that note. It sounds more like his voice and tone (hence why it suddenly sounds so different), but I’m admittedly ignorant on most of the technical aspects. So again, I’m probably wrong, but just a thought.
I also thought it was a switch from Eli to Omar cause it sounds more like Omar's tambre, and during the premier VP told the chat that Omars high note was coming.
Same!
It definently is omar
Yep, that's apparently what happened -- I was paying too much attention to Eli at that point so I totally missed it
@@PeterBarber I think both Eli and Omar are up there together which is why it's so strong, it sounds initially like Eli but I hear Omar's nasally tone up there too when I listen carefully☺
This particularly song is a mash up of dragon born come and the skyrim main theme song which is sung in the dragon language
Skyrim is very much still alive due to the mod community and they basically just released an anniversary edition last November since the game turned 10 years old.
They have taken two songs and mixed them together, all the melodic parts with the dragon language is from a different song called Dragonborn, which is the main theme. Listen to that one, that one is a banger! The dragonborn comes is a tavern song sung acapella in the games
Another amazing analysis from Peter! I miss being in choir and opera in HS and college. Also, I think it’s safe to say Arya was the inspiration behind part of your tattoo 😉
Check out Malukah's version. (Either the original or the remastered.) Peter Hollens did a spectacular coop with Lindsey Stirling, too. Peter and Malukah also do a version of "Baba yetu" the Civ IV theme.
Leezgoo another Peter barber voiceplay reaction!!!
Epic is the way to describe this
I discoverêd this group because of you.
Just a note on a comparison you made to "Lord of the Rings": All of the non "human" languages in the books (and movies) were created by JRR Tolkien himself. He created them as complete languages with pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
Yes- OMG loved the Inheritance Series!!!
Really enjoy your reactions. Thank you for your time and energy. I have asked other reactors for this one but no one has. If you've never heard Gomer Pyle (Jim Neighbors) sing 'The Impossible Dream' please PLEASE you won't be sorry
Great analysis as always!
As for the new tattoo, the sword looks like Anduril and the quote is what we say to the god of death,
Finally someone else who answered.
The sword is Arya's "Needle"
Think this video is magnificent. In the first release chat they said, how do you like the set and we built a castle. They go all out. So admirable.
Just joined your Patreon. Amazing analysis.
Welcome aboard! Many thanks :]
You need to react to them doing “Carry on, my wayward son” also with Omar Cardona
A month late on this analysis, but what they did to extend the music was combine two songs from skyrim. The 1st and 3rd parts of the song (english) was Dragon Born Comes which is a song you can hear in taverns in the game. The Dovazhul part is actually the games MAIN title screen music: Dovakhin. Dovahkin is a 3ish min song normally, but they only took the main part of it and added it to the 1st song. If you ever decided to check out the music in the game, i would recommend listening to Dovakhin.
Only 3 minutes in and hoping that Peter will catch my favorite moment. Going to comment after if he got it!
The language they speak is dovahzul, the language of the dragons in skyrim.
Geoff and VP do occasionally add sounds that are not made by human voice... like Ceasar shaking the shackles in Hoist The Colors or Geoff tapping the sledge hammer with something metal in 16 Tons or a trunk lid slamming in House Of The Rising Sun.
Very good point concerning Hoist the Colors.
However, none of Geoff’s solo work is a cappella. There’s always some form of instrumentation.
The Sound changed, because it´s not Eli - it´s Omar.
I think you´re right
its actually both of them apparently, you can hear the omars timbre
Love your tatt. That was my motto throughout my cancer and bone marrow transplant. Love GOT.
The sound you thought that isn’t a voice. It is. It’s Layne and Geoff with some audio editing.
That weird sound effect could be studio produced but I thought it was Elly and Omar blending voices at timer 23.27
YESSSS HE UPLOADED
17:49 It's not technically a language that exists in the world and is spoken, it was made up specifically for Skyrim. I don't remember what exactly it's called, but it's the language of the dragons in the game
Best reaction so far
