@@Marcell0Bass Honestly I wasn’t actually referring to a specific person but more like some people who actually care about this sort of stuff. And yeah, Peter would be one of them😄
Geoff, you had asked during the premiere why people were requesting this specific song for you, particularly since most covers are higher and more "screamy". My two cents is that there's something about you that feels very old-school and classic - maybe in part because there were so many great old singers who were basses or baritones. This means that you're going to keep getting requests for tunes that are more than just music - they're cultural (well, American culture). 16 Tons and this one are perfect examples. Something about you taking classic songs and bringing them back to life for a new generation just feels right!
Yes, exactly this! That "old school" thing is something I see in Geoff as well. Another song of his that's like this is the Headless Horseman. Now I'd love to hear him sing Riders in the Sky.
I don't understand how it is PHYSICALLY, ANATOMICALLY, BIOLOGICALLY possible for one voice box to produce such a wide, wide, wide range of sound. ??? I just don't get it.
Okay so im a bass singer. I cqn explain it this way, if youve ever had laughing gas at the dentist yoyr voice goes VERY deep. You just have to figure out how to do THAT without any gas. Took me about 2 years to hit the notes he does
Its hard but you seperate your voice from your head and only use your throat/and body. Its hard to explain but when we hit those low notes, yes we hear it and feel our own bones rumbling. Its FUN!!!
@@SuperKrakou I checked him out (McGuiness) and thank you for that. Saw also Bobby Bass, and then all singing together, and it was awesome! A first for me, again, thanks! Peace.

I'm always in awe with Geoff's singing. High or low range, he is phenomenal! However, every time there are 4 or 5 Geoffs, I find subtle differences that make me forget for a few seconds that there is one singer. His voice is the gift and the "Geoffs " are the pretty bow. Lame analogy? Perhaps. But I said what I said. 👏👏👏👏
@@GeoffCastellucci I know it might be crazy considering you just came out with this,but I came across a song that I think Geoffplex would have fun with its called STYLE from the musical Robin and the Seven Hoods. Dean Martin , Sinatra,and Bing Crosby sing it in the original

It's perfect! Why does Geoff criticize his singing all the time, and he says he's not a real bass. He's too humble. He has such an amazing voice, a wide range, the low notes are bright and rich, and he sounds beautiful on the high notes too. He can do a lot of things. He can sing in different voices, play instruments, make beautiful music videos and make old songs sound even better.
OH! Please the Hanging Tree would be wonderful! or even Cool, cool water with the multiple Geoffs doing the echos would be phenomenal. I think Marty Robbins would approve!
Бесподобно! Необыкновенно! Редко бывает такой красивый бас! Как прекрасно звучит сам бас и его аранжировка! Превосходная ритмика,отлично соединенная с мелодичностью! Великолепная гармония во всем номере! Браво, Geoff!!!
I did not expect this. He reimagined it and rewrote it. I usually hate that to be honest especially if I loved the original. This is really a new song in every aspect. Cutting off the past from my expectations this is really good! That voice will get to me every time!
So Iagree because i really love the house of the rising sun the 60s version . It made me cringe when he switched up the words after sewed my new blue jeans
My favorite part about Geoff is that his version of a song is always unique! Never just a copy of everyone else's. 🥰 Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Geoff for sharing your talent!
@@wholeshebang1 what’s wrong with people nowadays, he obviously thinks that this woman is very attractive and is wishing her wellness in order to make a move. Is being a gentleman something that’s creepy, cause if so I can guarantee your standards are too high.
Geoff, this song has been a favorite of mine for many years, and I've heard many renditions. I've never heard one like yours. Unique in every way, and sends chills up my spine every time I listen to it. I am in awe of your ability to take a song I've heard a thousand times and turn it into a completely new listening experience. Thank you for this, it will be one of my favorites for years to come 💗
I am amazed at how he can record 4 or 5 images, each singing in a different range, with movement, and have ALL of them match up while maintaining acapella!
@@saplingdatree4111 Are you sure? I thought he was actually in 4 other places at once. LOL I am not sure that post production even would be able to match up every phrase, every word, every note, so perfectly unless GEOFF was that perfect. THAT was my point.
I know this production is going to be well received, and have several million views. Great work Geoff. Truly, this is my favorite version of this song.
I am constantly blown away by the the growth and evolution of Geoff's singing, sound, and arrangement in these songs. I have never seen someone grow so much with each new song they put out on TH-cam. Usually you start to see a pattern, but you do pop, country, folk,... you just grow and change in everything. Your bass parts get more tricky, and the back-up parts get more crisp and precise. Your sound and arrangement stays simple, but it gets more clean and spot on with each new song. And the nuance of each video is just fantastic. Whether it be outfits and background, or heads sitting on a desk, the video work is just fantastic. I share these videos with my whole family, not because of your low bass, but because of the entire magnificence and entertainment in the entirety of the video. Most of my family are musicians, singers, and songwriters, and to know the level of work that goes into something like this, and to see someone do it so well and still grow with each video is just so fun to watch. I am in total amazement, good sir! Thank you for sharing another amazing video.
Hey Geoff. You probably won't see this, but as a bass singer you are my main inspiration. I just figured out how to do rough subharmonics and managed to hit an A1. I feel like this is a huge accomplishment at 14 years old and I just wanted to say you inspired me to achieve this Edit: I'm now nearly 16 and can comfortably hit C2 in chest and F-E1 in sub/fry
Nice job man. As a basso profundo, I can suggest keeping your training regime at least once weekly but don't give it up, six months without practice can undo years of work.
@@videosfromelsewhere926 I practice at least that daily just humming to myself in my spare time. Since this comment I have comfortably achieved a G1 and when I'm warm an E1 at a stretch
Nice, man! 15 myself, and my subharmonics aren’t as clean as Geoff’s (nor do I expect them to be), but I can tell you, if you just work on it daily, you’ll get somewhere, and even develop your chest voice’s low notes a bit! I just sing along to Geoff’s basslines on many VP songs, and it’s helpped a metric s$@&-ton. Keep atter!
@@youwillbemissed3287 yeh mine are no where clean as geoffes either but they are still there and I have noticed a major improvement in the past 6 months
I agree so much. This cover really made my day. There is still no power at my house, or most of my city for that matter. I live in Houma. This helped raise my spirits so much
You don't know me but I've been following you for sometime now. I can't explain how much you've helped me over the past couple of years. From your educational videos to your covers. To be quite honest it's one of the only things that keeps me on this Earth. I've been going through some real dark times and I just want to say thank you. You'll probably never read this but just know you're the reason someone is still here...
God seeing him do this song has me thinking about how it'd sound if he did Sound of Silence (specifically the Disturbed version) I can only imagine how amazing it'd be 😍
No- You did not just suggest- I completely fell in love with Peter and Tim's version, I am not sure whether I could handle this- okay Geoff you got to do this I BEG YOU
One thing (amongst many others) that I love is how Geoff always interacts with…well, other Geoffs in these videos. The glances at each other etc. It makes it feel like there are really four different people instead of just one! Well done!!
Great cover of one of my favourite songs. And I must mention the one tv on top of the other brought a chuckle and reminded me of my dad. He was born in 1921 and went through the depression so he never got rid of anything unless it could not be repaired. At one time he had one tv on top of another. He would turn both on at same time because the sound worked in one and picture in the other. My dad passed in 2017 at age 96. Great memories😊
Geoff's voice is something that makes my day better. I suffer from anxiety and listening to Geoff and VoicePlay always make me feel better. Thanks Geoff
I feel you. I dont know where i read, but i read somewhere that deep voices are good to listen to for panicattacks and anxietyattacks, so it makes sense that his voice helps😊🥰
Words cannot express my excitement. This is one of my favorite songs ever, and I can’t think of a single singer I would want to hear cover it more than Geoff. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your work Geoff, we all appreciate it so very much.
Being a patron for almost a year now (next month!!! ) has been amazing watching you grow as an artist and seeing just how big your personal fan base is has been amazing. I remember you answering my question 9 months ago that you weren't sure your fan base was big enough to do a tour or even open for VP. I REALLY hope this year has shown you thats not true. I've love seeing how far you've come. And can't wait to see how far you'll go.
Was praising Geoff up to a friend of mine and played this...friend is now a convert and digging through everything he can find! Great version of a classic tune, thanks for sharing your talent with us!
There is something really sexy about his voice, and I mean that with utmost respect! Like, those super super deep notes make my chest feel like it’s vibrating, it’s amazing!
You are either a bass or you aren't. I've extended my lower range beyond anything I've done before with this man's tips from his videos, but I'll never have that resonance that just shakes. Geoff, Tim, Avi, THOSE are basses.
An absolute departure from the original, and I couldn't be more pleased. I was grooving (for a given value of "grooving" i.e. spastic flailing) the whole time. This was fantastic, I hope you are doing well, and I hope to see you doing this still in 50 years. Old man Geoff is gonna rock!
specialy when as old man Geoff will go and cover an age appropriate song, Cab Calloway's "Old Man of the Mountain" with appropriately zuit suit dressed quartet and swinging the beat ;)
I love when you start humming with harmonics. Not only that, but the way you've given the instruments some "breathing" room, is absolutely to die for Geoff. Thank you for sharing your amazing voice and various covers!
Geoff you are the best... and I think you read minds Two months ago I was thinking: "If Geoff could make a cover of 'Far Over the Misty Moutains Cold' I will love him for eternity", you made that cover. And this month happened the same but with this amazing cover And now I'll love you for eternity. Now I'm going to think... "If Geoff could make a cover of 'Rains of Castamere' or 'With or without you' I'd probably pass out"
cher Geoff, j'ai découvert votre voix unique et tout à fait incroyable il y a peu . Depuis , je suis subjuguée . Il y a plus que les contre-fa graves (...je n'ai jamais entendu ça avant ... je demeure fascinée chaque fois ...) : Il y a le charme vrai et profond de qui veut donner au monde du bien par le chant , par son chant . De pratique culturelle classique ( et contemporaine ), certes votre répertoire ne m'est pas vraiment coutumier : mais peu importe le langage , n'est-ce pas ? c'est l'authenticité de ce que l'on "fait passer " ( expression judicieuse ... ) qui compte . étant compositrice , j'avoue que l'idée d'une voix comme la vôtre trotte dans ma tête... Merci pour l'équilibre sensible que vous nous offrez .
This is absolutely incredible. I've been struggling a lot, having lost my husband earlier this year, and have had more dark days than light.... music has often been that light, and this is no exception. This is more light than I've had in some time, with the new life you've given this arrangement. Thank you for taking such care in your craft.
Hello Amanda. I thought you might like to see this video from Angelina Jordan. This young Lady is amazing and very heart-warming. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Rob th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html
My father is a bass singer, and his 3 brothers also sing, their voices ranging upward to my uncle George who is a barbershop tenor, so hearing you sing brings me to such a happy place, remembering all the family gatherings when they would all sing, along with my aunt Cathy- second soprano. I used to have a very good range from first soprano to baritone, and sang for the first half of my life nearly every day. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to sing for over 20 years now due to a terrible virus which left me with nodes on my vocal cords, but my love of music still continues to grow, even as I can no longer participate actively in it's creation. Listening to talented individuals helps, and you, sir, are incredibly talented and bring me incredible joy. Thank you!
GEOFF! You've done it again! This made my day....coffee and a new Geoff Castellucci video. And as usual you have blown me away with your creativity, passion for your craft, and your incredible voice. I had to listen through several times before I commented. I admit...i always start my day with a Geoff video and a Voiceplay video. I've been rather enamored with Sixteen Tons and been revisiting it almost daily, but I think I have a new favorite. Keep up the amazing work! It certainly makes these tense and uncertain times we are living in more easy to deal with and really helps keep up my spirits. Thank you for sharing your soul-touching work with us. Always makes my day better hearing your voice. Also...I am jealous of your hair. Just sayin'! lol A gorgeous man with gorgeous hair and a gorgeous voice. God had some serious mojo going on the day he made you!
What an amazing arrangement! I love that Geoff made this song his own without ruining it or making it unrecognizable. And what a range! I could listen to him all day long!
Mr. Castellucci, thank you. I truly needed this today. And you... well, you just keep being you. And I know it's like one week late, but happy birthday and all the best to you and your family! Again, thank you for this blessed cover and the best of luck to you from a lonely student who appreciates music.
With that one lamp in the background and the way the light hits the wall this really becomes 'The house of the rising sun', and off cause the quadruplets of Geoff's sound amazing with their vocals smoothly blendling together. Also I can't help but love the detail of the smirk on the face of Geoff on the far left just after he apparently made the trunk close with only a twist of his hand ❤️😃
Geoff, this is an absolutely perfect cover. What a crazy cool take on this song - can't think of any other covers even remotely close to this. Thanks for always putting your own unique spin on everything you do!
(Edit: Woke up this morning with this in my ears, starting at 1:00. 4 days from release and I'm already addicted.) Fascinating cover! I've always loved this song, and I confess, I was unsure at the beginning. But the tempo switch and - of course - your gorgeous voice, won me over completely. One of the things I love best about your work here and in VP, is that it sounds simple, but never is. And that complexity causes instant addiction....
I don't understand the people hating this song for the composition. This song has many itterations. It could even date as far back as the 1500's. If you don't like it listen to the hundreds of renditions. Also why do you not like it when he makes the song his own. What did you want a copy.
Agreed! I love this more traditional rendition. This song has been covered so many times by so many great artists. People like Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone ... And the list goes on! I think most people think of the Animals' rendition as being the definitive one because of that gorgeous riff they added, but it's much older than that. I think the lyrics were written someone around the American Civil War, but you're right - the melody is much older.
“It could even date as far back as the 1500’s”…… okaaaaay. Is that like Mr Ed “could” really talk? (just cuz he’d never speak unless he had something to say). I do so like your style, Cameron! ☺️
@@sherimcdaniel3491 no, not at all! I've been doing a little bit of reading about the history of this song. Although we don't know exactly where it came from, it pulls thematic elements from the 1500s ballad "The Unfortunate Rake” and melodic elements from the 1600's song "Matty Groves". The earliest mention of the current form of the song seems to be 1905, but that's anecdotal.
@@sherimcdaniel3491 Hey people are talking here. What did you say in your first comment, I did not understand it. Just wondering! Am I too young to understand the reference?
I didn't know at first that I really wanted to hear this but I like the song and it is so transformative I'm really glad I checked it out because I'm blown away, bravo and what a show!
Oh, my gosh! This is my first time hearing a cover this powerful of this song. Amazing! I am such a huge fan. Wishing you all the best Geoff. Hugs to you, Kathy, William and all your loved ones and your friends.💕💕💕
Why am I up at almost 5am binge listening to every video on Geoff's channel? Guess I'm addicted to the smooth and innovative bass with him covering all the harmonies. Just so amazing and emotion evoking.
It's always a good day when we get to hear the Geofftet singing. Another wonderful interpretation of a classic piece of music. I love how you make these your own. And I thank you both in your individual work and through VoicePlay for the joy you bring. I've been dealing with some health issues and I find myself listening to both you and VoicePlay everyday to pick me up. You are a blessing to us who have been fortunate enough to discover your music.
So this just appeared on my Facebook feed TODAY !!! A year ago, like seriouslyyyyyy !!! Geoff taking the vocal range for a stroll along side a funky guitar and simple drum beat !!! Pure Heaven on earth !!! So yer .. this will be Yet another song to get replayed over and over !!! Cracking Version ..
**Geoff sings anything** Me: **swoon** **sings all four goddamn parts** Me: **faint** **hits the low note of the century** Me: **dead** Me: revives long enough for side note: fun to track the hands as they keep tempo
@@kimsmeltzer6083 I get it. I just discovered him and now I feel like a stalker because I've watched all his previous videos. Such a wonderful voice and very easy on the eyes too!
@@roseyred72 frankly, he's a safety valve for me. I'm a pharmacy worker, and the daily stress/chaos is overwhelming. tempers are sometimes dangerously high, and we all do what we can to let off steam and stay sane. Geoff & company is a lifeline for me, and I will wolf whistle to my heart's content. I apologize for nothing.
I've only discovered Geoff a week or so ago and must have listed to this song and Misty Mountain Cold (my 2 favorites) about 200 times each. I'd love to see his interpretation of Sound of Silence and Dust in the Wind. With his vocal range, that should make for an unbelievable version of these amazing songs.
Geoff, whenever I want to show people just how cool a cappella can be, I pull up two channels: VoicePlay and yours. This is awesome! I love the vibe you carried through the rhythm and harmony. Thanks so much for this !
Geoff, you have the amazing ability to take a relatively mundane, not-much-to-it song and turn it into something amazing. You've re-imagined this in a way that I never thought possible. Starting by paying homage to the simple roots of the song, you've just added layer upon layer upon layer, transforming it into an exciting musical journey. I'm in total awe of your ability to update these songs and make them your own. I'm so excited to be able to share this creation of yours with my friends and the world.
Oh WOW! Lol just wooooooow! Everything I’d hoped it’d be and more. And to think one Misty mountain cover led me to this amazing artist, and then on to his equally amazing group. I’m well and truly down this rabbit hole and loving every second of it…and so is my family! Happy belated birthday and thanks for this incredible cover-made my day!
Hi Geoff. I dont know if you or anyone is ever gonna see this comment, but if you do ill be very happy. Your songs make my day. I can have a terrible day, crying all the time and not feeling it, and I listen to any of your songs and instantly get in a better mood. You make me feel loved, safe and you give me a chance to escape the world with your music. So thank you very much, I cant wait go meet you someday and get an amazing hug from you that im sure you give lots of🥰🥰 Love you, a huge fan from Norway
Not gonna lie, this is the first vid I ever saw of Geoff's and I thought it was fake until more of his stuff came onto my feed. Now I'm just impressed AF.
This has always been one of my favorite songs. I have listened so different covers, but this one hits differently. Geoff you sound like a story teller and I also enjoyed the set visuals….I’m literally just in “Aw” with this performance 😌🥰

I am in awe of your ability to take a song I've heard a thousand times and turn it into a completely new listening experience. Thank you for this, it will be one of my favorites for years to come 💗
I think TH-cam needs a love button. This was a wonderful take on the song. I love Geoff's vocal range. This was amazing.
I am amazed at how he can record 4 or 5 images, each singing in a different range, with movement, and have ALL of them match up while maintaining acapella!
@@jalycmost of that is post production, but it is very well done either way
@@saplingdatree4111 Are you sure?
I thought he was actually in 4 other places at once. LOL
I am not sure that post production even would be able to match up every phrase, every word, every note, so perfectly unless GEOFF was that perfect. THAT was my point.
Painting has Bob Ross. Music has Geoff.
I know this production is going to be well received, and have several million views. Great work Geoff. Truly, this is my favorite version of this song.
Thanks!
He did a nice magic trick with the lighter. He discreetly tucked it under his right leg. I missed what he did in my first viewing. Very subtle.
I am constantly blown away by the the growth and evolution of Geoff's singing, sound, and arrangement in these songs. I have never seen someone grow so much with each new song they put out on TH-cam. Usually you start to see a pattern, but you do pop, country, folk,... you just grow and change in everything. Your bass parts get more tricky, and the back-up parts get more crisp and precise. Your sound and arrangement stays simple, but it gets more clean and spot on with each new song. And the nuance of each video is just fantastic. Whether it be outfits and background, or heads sitting on a desk, the video work is just fantastic. I share these videos with my whole family, not because of your low bass, but because of the entire magnificence and entertainment in the entirety of the video. Most of my family are musicians, singers, and songwriters, and to know the level of work that goes into something like this, and to see someone do it so well and still grow with each video is just so fun to watch. I am in total amazement, good sir! Thank you for sharing another amazing video.
I dislike it when people/groups cover great songs...unless they make it their own. This one is fantastic.
Yes. He has great talent. I agree.
But .. I HATE it people butcher songs to "make it their own". I prefer they keep the spirit of the originals.
Some what agree... make it completely different... or exactly the same... or dont do it at all.
Hey Geoff. You probably won't see this, but as a bass singer you are my main inspiration. I just figured out how to do rough subharmonics and managed to hit an A1. I feel like this is a huge accomplishment at 14 years old and I just wanted to say you inspired me to achieve this
Edit: I'm now nearly 16 and can comfortably hit C2 in chest and F-E1 in sub/fry
Nice job man. As a basso profundo, I can suggest keeping your training regime at least once weekly but don't give it up, six months without practice can undo years of work.
@@videosfromelsewhere926 I practice at least that daily just humming to myself in my spare time. Since this comment I have comfortably achieved a G1 and when I'm warm an E1 at a stretch
Well done!!
Nice, man! 15 myself, and my subharmonics aren’t as clean as Geoff’s (nor do I expect them to be), but I can tell you, if you just work on it daily, you’ll get somewhere, and even develop your chest voice’s low notes a bit! I just sing along to Geoff’s basslines on many VP songs, and it’s helpped a metric s$@&-ton. Keep atter!
@@youwillbemissed3287 yeh mine are no where clean as geoffes either but they are still there and I have noticed a major improvement in the past 6 months
Geoff, with all the hardships we in Nola and Louisiana have had recently… this was needed to boost our cities. Thank you. With love, Louisiana.
Coming from someone who *just* got their power back on - yes, I completely agree with this comment. Thank you, Geoff!
I agree so much. This cover really made my day. There is still no power at my house, or most of my city for that matter. I live in Houma. This helped raise my spirits so much
The best of luck to you in LA. I am sorry for how everything turned out.
Agreed. I just got power back last week and internet came back on today. And this is fantastic 🖤

You don't know me but I've been following you for sometime now. I can't explain how much you've helped me over the past couple of years. From your educational videos to your covers. To be quite honest it's one of the only things that keeps me on this Earth. I've been going through some real dark times and I just want to say thank you. You'll probably never read this but just know you're the reason someone is still here...
You could just listen to Geoff humming all day. They say a cat's purring aids them in healing; I think they must've learned it from Geoff.
Oh yeah they do.
Thats fabulous 👌
Точно! Я чувствую тоже самое!👌 Вибрации его голоса обладают мощной энергией и возможно даже целительны❤🤩🙌👏
Я наверное никогда не перестану ее слушать эту песню,как же она красиво звучит! Потрясающе!
Узбекистан.
Я просто в восторге, какая глубина голоса. Клип сделан очень профессионально, прямо настоящий квартет.
You know how some people have favourite characters in tv shows and movies? This guy is my favourite character in the real world.
Geoff's voice hits my soul. My grandfather could sing bass and I loved it. Thank you for bringing those beautiful memories back!
God seeing him do this song has me thinking about how it'd sound if he did Sound of Silence (specifically the Disturbed version) I can only imagine how amazing it'd be 😍
Just when I thought that song couldn't be made anymore perfect........
No- You did not just suggest-
I completely fell in love with Peter and Tim's version, I am not sure whether I could handle this-
okay Geoff you got to do this I BEG YOU
NEEDITRIGHT NOW!!!
Agreed
Guy named tomi p does a wonderful cover
One thing (amongst many others) that I love is how Geoff always interacts with…well, other Geoffs in these videos. The glances at each other etc. It makes it feel like there are really four different people instead of just one! Well done!!
You mean there are four of the same and not just for different people? Really?!
@@tanyagarcia3721 Yeah haha 😂
@@SuperSanni96 no wonder they seem so similar to each other and I didn't realize it
Great cover of one of my favourite songs. And I must mention the one tv on top of the other brought a chuckle and reminded me of my dad. He was born in 1921 and went through the depression so he never got rid of anything unless it could not be repaired. At one time he had one tv on top of another. He would turn both on at same time because the sound worked in one and picture in the other. My dad passed in 2017 at age 96. Great memories😊
Geoff's voice is something that makes my day better. I suffer from anxiety and listening to Geoff and VoicePlay always make me feel better. Thanks Geoff
I feel you. I dont know where i read, but i read somewhere that deep voices are good to listen to for panicattacks and anxietyattacks, so it makes sense that his voice helps😊🥰
Words cannot express my excitement. This is one of my favorite songs ever, and I can’t think of a single singer I would want to hear cover it more than Geoff. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your work Geoff, we all appreciate it so very much.
To say that Geoff is talented is such an understatement! Phenomenal!
Being a patron for almost a year now (next month!!! ) has been amazing watching you grow as an artist and seeing just how big your personal fan base is has been amazing. I remember you answering my question 9 months ago that you weren't sure your fan base was big enough to do a tour or even open for VP. I REALLY hope this year has shown you thats not true. I've love seeing how far you've come. And can't wait to see how far you'll go.
I for one would go see him on tour in a heartbeat.
Was praising Geoff up to a friend of mine and played this...friend is now a convert and digging through everything he can find!
Great version of a classic tune, thanks for sharing your talent with us!
This is so brilliant, I keep listening to it over and over. Fantastic base vocals and harmonies! You're my new music hero. Bravo!
There is something really sexy about his voice, and I mean that with utmost respect! Like, those super super deep notes make my chest feel like it’s vibrating, it’s amazing!
💯 agree with you
I play these videos for my PK/K kiddos in music class. They call him "the man with the big voice." He gets requested often!
Hey dear, how are you doing i hope everything is going absolutely perfect with you 💜💙💜💙💜💜💜💛?
This is the cutest thing I've ever heard.
Oh my word......this is absolute bass perfection!!!!!!
You are either a bass or you aren't. I've extended my lower range beyond anything I've done before with this man's tips from his videos, but I'll never have that resonance that just shakes. Geoff, Tim, Avi, THOSE are basses.
Yes they are and I love all 3
Here we go again. I came prepared this time by listening to his misty mountain cover about 20 times today. Just pressed record! God help me...
Браво, пробирает до глубины души! Блестящее исполнение, внешность, шарм, все супер!
I've seen the videos of how he trained and improved his voice to be able to do this. A truly gifted vocalist. One in a billion.
An absolute departure from the original, and I couldn't be more pleased. I was grooving (for a given value of "grooving" i.e. spastic flailing) the whole time. This was fantastic, I hope you are doing well, and I hope to see you doing this still in 50 years. Old man Geoff is gonna rock!
specialy when as old man Geoff will go and cover an age appropriate song, Cab Calloway's "Old Man of the Mountain" with appropriately zuit suit dressed quartet and swinging the beat ;)
@@galadballcrusher8182: or Hold On by Kansas
Everything is perfect in this clip! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for the talent and for the production.
I love when you start humming with harmonics. Not only that, but the way you've given the instruments some "breathing" room, is absolutely to die for Geoff. Thank you for sharing your amazing voice and various covers!
Geoff you are the best... and I think you read minds
Two months ago I was thinking: "If Geoff could make a cover of 'Far Over the Misty Moutains Cold' I will love him for eternity", you made that cover. And this month happened the same but with this amazing cover
And now I'll love you for eternity.
Now I'm going to think... "If Geoff could make a cover of 'Rains of Castamere' or 'With or without you' I'd probably pass out"
Interestingly exactly my thinking 🤔 Greetings to you brother in mind!
"With or Without You" by U2.
Yes please!!!!

cher Geoff, j'ai découvert votre voix unique et tout à fait incroyable il y a peu .
Depuis , je suis subjuguée .
Il y a plus que les contre-fa graves (...je n'ai jamais entendu ça avant ... je demeure fascinée chaque fois ...)

Il y a le charme vrai et profond de qui veut donner au monde du bien par le chant , par son chant .
De pratique culturelle classique ( et contemporaine ), certes votre répertoire ne m'est pas vraiment coutumier : mais peu importe le langage , n'est-ce pas ? c'est l'authenticité de ce que l'on "fait passer " ( expression judicieuse ... ) qui compte .
étant compositrice , j'avoue que l'idée d'une voix comme la vôtre trotte dans ma tête...
Merci pour l'équilibre sensible que vous nous offrez .
This is absolutely incredible. I've been struggling a lot, having lost my husband earlier this year, and have had more dark days than light.... music has often been that light, and this is no exception. This is more light than I've had in some time, with the new life you've given this arrangement. Thank you for taking such care in your craft.
Sorry for your loss
Hello Amanda. I thought you might like to see this video from Angelina Jordan. This young Lady is amazing and very heart-warming. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Rob
th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html
My father is a bass singer, and his 3 brothers also sing, their voices ranging upward to my uncle George who is a barbershop tenor, so hearing you sing brings me to such a happy place, remembering all the family gatherings when they would all sing, along with my aunt Cathy- second soprano. I used to have a very good range from first soprano to baritone, and sang for the first half of my life nearly every day. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to sing for over 20 years now due to a terrible virus which left me with nodes on my vocal cords, but my love of music still continues to grow, even as I can no longer participate actively in it's creation. Listening to talented individuals helps, and you, sir, are incredibly talented and bring me incredible joy. Thank you!
Hi dear, how are you doing i hope everything is going absolutely perfect with you 💜💙💜💙💜💜💜💛
I honestly can not ever get enough of Geoff's voice. I always just wanna hear him sing more and more. 😅
GEOFF! You've done it again! This made my day....coffee and a new Geoff Castellucci video. And as usual you have blown me away with your creativity, passion for your craft, and your incredible voice. I had to listen through several times before I commented. I admit...i always start my day with a Geoff video and a Voiceplay video. I've been rather enamored with Sixteen Tons and been revisiting it almost daily, but I think I have a new favorite. Keep up the amazing work! It certainly makes these tense and uncertain times we are living in more easy to deal with and really helps keep up my spirits. Thank you for sharing your soul-touching work with us. Always makes my day better hearing your voice. Also...I am jealous of your hair. Just sayin'! lol A gorgeous man with gorgeous hair and a gorgeous voice. God had some serious mojo going on the day he made you!
What an amazing arrangement! I love that Geoff made this song his own without ruining it or making it unrecognizable. And what a range! I could listen to him all day long!
Hello Castellucci! Am a new Brazilian fan! Your talent is umbelievable! Gratitude!
Mr. Castellucci, thank you. I truly needed this today. And you... well, you just keep being you. And I know it's like one week late, but happy birthday and all the best to you and your family! Again, thank you for this blessed cover and the best of luck to you from a lonely student who appreciates music.
The arrangement, the aesthetic, everything, this is AMAZING Geoff, absolute perfection 🙌🏻
Geoff Castellucci has an amazing range. His lowest notes don’t even sound human. I’m in awe. 🤩
With that one lamp in the background and the way the light hits the wall this really becomes 'The house of the rising sun', and off cause the quadruplets of Geoff's sound amazing with their vocals smoothly blendling together. Also I can't help but love the detail of the smirk on the face of Geoff on the far left just after he apparently made the trunk close with only a twist of his hand ❤️😃
Geoff, this is an absolutely perfect cover. What a crazy cool take on this song - can't think of any other covers even remotely close to this. Thanks for always putting your own unique spin on everything you do!
Am I missing something? From what I know you haven't seen it yet? Still got a while to go

The most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard.
such a beautiful bass voice, mostly acappella... My whole body is trembling from listening to him... Could listen all day!💓💓
(Edit: Woke up this morning with this in my ears, starting at 1:00. 4 days from release and I'm already addicted.)
Fascinating cover! I've always loved this song, and I confess, I was unsure at the beginning. But the tempo switch and - of course - your gorgeous voice, won me over completely. One of the things I love best about your work here and in VP, is that it sounds simple, but never is. And that complexity causes instant addiction....
1/17. OMG, GEOFF! THIS IS A SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE! YOUR VOCAL RANGE IS STARTLING! WHAT A GIFT TO OUR WORLD!
Geoff, please sing "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald". That song always gives me the chills. I'd love to see what you can do with it.
Me too.
Yes!
YEEEEESSSSSSSS🎼🎼🎼🎼
That is a great idea. I love that song
Sixty firsted
I don't understand the people hating this song for the composition. This song has many itterations. It could even date as far back as the 1500's. If you don't like it listen to the hundreds of renditions. Also why do you not like it when he makes the song his own. What did you want a copy.
Agreed! I love this more traditional rendition. This song has been covered so many times by so many great artists. People like Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone ... And the list goes on! I think most people think of the Animals' rendition as being the definitive one because of that gorgeous riff they added, but it's much older than that. I think the lyrics were written someone around the American Civil War, but you're right - the melody is much older.
“It could even date as far back as the 1500’s”…… okaaaaay. Is that like Mr Ed “could” really talk? (just cuz he’d never speak unless he had something to say). I do so like your style, Cameron! ☺️
@@sherimcdaniel3491 no, not at all! I've been doing a little bit of reading about the history of this song. Although we don't know exactly where it came from, it pulls thematic elements from the 1500s ballad "The Unfortunate Rake” and melodic elements from the 1600's song "Matty Groves". The earliest mention of the current form of the song seems to be 1905, but that's anecdotal.
@@Rebecca_English
Well, Rebecca, I thank you for the information and I will now, of course, look those songs up! Well done!👏🏻👏🏻
@@sherimcdaniel3491 Hey people are talking here. What did you say in your first comment, I did not understand it. Just wondering! Am I too young to understand the reference?
I didn't know at first that I really wanted to hear this but I like the song and it is so transformative I'm really glad I checked it out because I'm blown away, bravo and what a show!
This is the song I was waiting for! Your voice is a miracle.
This is just a comment to let you know you have fans in Russia, too.
Oh, my gosh! This is my first time hearing a cover this powerful of this song. Amazing! I am such a huge fan. Wishing you all the best Geoff. Hugs to you, Kathy, William and all your loved ones and your friends.💕💕💕
This man's range is amazing. Grandson turned me on the Mr. Castellucci and I enjoy his music and revel in his range!
I know exactly what you should do. Man of Constant Sorrow. That definitely deserves a bass version.

yoooo
Это божественно! Полный восторг! Голос, исполнение, качество клипа - всё шикарно!
I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?
Why am I up at almost 5am binge listening to every video on Geoff's channel? Guess I'm addicted to the smooth and innovative bass with him covering all the harmonies. Just so amazing and emotion evoking.
I love those songs where one person is singing with itself in harmony.
This voice is heavy and great!
It's always a good day when we get to hear the Geofftet singing. Another wonderful interpretation of a classic piece of music. I love how you make these your own. And I thank you both in your individual work and through VoicePlay for the joy you bring. I've been dealing with some health issues and I find myself listening to both you and VoicePlay everyday to pick me up. You are a blessing to us who have been fortunate enough to discover your music.
So this just appeared on my Facebook feed TODAY !!! A year ago, like seriouslyyyyyy !!! Geoff taking the vocal range for a stroll along side a funky guitar and simple drum beat !!! Pure Heaven on earth !!! So yer .. this will be Yet another song to get replayed over and over !!! Cracking Version ..

**sings all four goddamn parts**

I've only discovered Geoff a week or so ago and must have listed to this song and Misty Mountain Cold (my 2 favorites) about 200 times each.
I'd love to see his interpretation of Sound of Silence and Dust in the Wind. With his vocal range, that should make for an unbelievable version of these amazing songs.
Geoff, whenever I want to show people just how cool a cappella can be, I pull up two channels: VoicePlay and yours. This is awesome! I love the vibe you carried through the rhythm and harmony. Thanks so much for this !
Did you also look up Pentatonix, Voctave, and Home Free? There's so many awesome acapella groups out there. 😆
Geoff, you have the amazing ability to take a relatively mundane, not-much-to-it song and turn it into something amazing. You've re-imagined this in a way that I never thought possible. Starting by paying homage to the simple roots of the song, you've just added layer upon layer upon layer, transforming it into an exciting musical journey. I'm in total awe of your ability to update these songs and make them your own. I'm so excited to be able to share this creation of yours with my friends and the world.
WOW! Thanks!
House of the Rising Sun is NOT a mundande. not-much-to-it song. Still, amazing cover.
Keep up the amazing work geoff castellucci

Oh WOW! Lol just wooooooow! Everything I’d hoped it’d be and more. And to think one Misty mountain cover led me to this amazing artist, and then on to his equally amazing group.

Hi Geoff. I dont know if you or anyone is ever gonna see this comment, but if you do ill be very happy. Your songs make my day. I can have a terrible day, crying all the time and not feeling it, and I listen to any of your songs and instantly get in a better mood.

So thank you very much, I cant wait go meet you someday and get an amazing hug from you that im sure you give lots of🥰🥰 Love you, a huge fan from Norway
This is now my favorite version of this song. Hands. Down.
Not gonna lie, this is the first vid I ever saw of Geoff's and I thought it was fake until more of his stuff came onto my feed. Now I'm just impressed AF.
This has always been one of my favorite songs. I have listened so different covers, but this one hits differently. Geoff you sound like a story teller and I also enjoyed the set visuals….I’m literally just in “Aw” with this performance 😌🥰
Yes, he does sound like a storyteller. And I'd listen to him sing OR tell stories all day.
