      Well, actually there is a choir and solo sections sung to the music. But probably far too non-Christian for the USA. Because the trolls and other underground kin are discussing how Peer Gynt stole the Mountain King's daughter's heart and what they would do to him if they caught him. Tearing out his hair, or making broth out of him.

      @@RustyDust101 I looked it up after Geoff provided a link to Classics Explained and then I went looking for a few other sources. I was so surprised that there are lyrics to at least part of it. I’ve heard this song all my life and I knew it had to do something with trolls because my grandfather was Norwegian. I didn’t know the details of the story. Knowing those details makes it so much more interesting, at least to me.

      What about this: For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica, definitely and absolutely want Eil Jacobson to take full lead, collaborate with Adam Rupp for his half and half vocal will used his most of his 3rd octave and some 2nd octave with the blend with the lead and beatboxing, Geoff will used his subharmonic with Scott Hyoing from Penatatonix for his low baritone low notes for the Bassline, high harmony by Cesar de la Rosa collaborate with Mitch Grassi from Penatatonix.

    They are so special, talented, imaginative and full of love for what they do! It just flows out of them! What sets them apart from other a cappella bands is their compatibility and incredible sense of theatrical performance.
    Also, their innovations are so bold and good! I am convinced that they would be successful in making their own songs.
    If they managed to cover a piece of Edvard Grieg, they can do anything!

    Best all-bard D&D session I've ever seen. XD
    Seriously though- you guys wanna know why you're so eye-catching and inspiring? Everything you do- every SINGLE song you've done- tells a STORY. You ALWAYS create a story for every performance, and it's SO much more than just awesome vocals and catchy arrangements. There's emotion, and thought, and personality. Every time. What I wouldn't GIVE to be able to tell stories like that. It amazes me, entertains and makes me think, "hey- maybe I can stop being be too freaked to actually put my own stories out there. Because they make such an awesome, positive change, and I wanna try to add onto that in my own special way."
    You guys, altogether, are a living storybook, and I think we'd all hate to ever miss a single turn of the page. We need more storytellers in the world- you guys are magical, and don't you forget it.

    And just like that *snaps fingers* VoicePlay takes back the origimagidiculous mantle.
    In all seriousness, this is truly astoundingly done as an a cappella piece. All the little bits that intertwine around each other just like the instruments in an orchestra...you all are *so* in command of your voices. And Lizzy is just *FIERCE* - visually and audibly.
    Thank you SO much for this one! 💕

  • @Tintenstreuner
    @Tintenstreuner ปีที่แล้ว +20

    This was my introduction to VoicePlay and til today it's still my favourite. This is basically their portfolio song where everyone shows everything they can do: Eli his full range from low to high; Cesar his phenomenal acting skills; it's my favourite singing part of Layne and he also gets particularly creative with his percussion sounds; Geoff does both the bass and the lead singing; and Elizabeth is my favourite one-time featured artist and my second favourite at all after Omar Cardona (btw the second VP video I watched was Dragonborn). It's also my absolute favourite VP music video both in storyline (Mini Eli! The carrot mini storyline!) and styling/set and even the outro ("Stop! Eating! The merchandise!"). Upon every rewatch I discover something new. (Btw David K Reacts pointed out how Elizabeth's character was probably the leader of the group and the only one who knew what they were doing. Super interesting reaction!) I just can't put into words how much I love this and how much I wish this was more popular! I would absolutely watch a full stage play or movie about this just with a capella singing without lyrics, perhaps the whole Peer Gynt or a crossover with Dragonborn! XD Okay, okay, I'll stop raving. 🙈

    @thewitchhut63 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    How could I be so entertained by a song with absolutely no discernable lyrics? I am literally 3, or so, hours new to these guys and have been mesmerized by every single song they've done. The work that goes into every song/video is mind-boggling and so very much appreciated. I can't seem to keep the members straight though as they've changed over the years, lol, so I'll just refer to them as the deep-voiced viking guy, the beat-boxer, the guy that looks like he could go berserker with his rocker voice, the I don't know who He is, but I think I'm in love now guy, and the extra guest that's usually a woman who can hit notes that should not be humanly possible. Yeah, that's how I'm doing it from now on. LOLOLOL These guys can sing anything and this one proves it!!!

    • @tonifinley4872
      @tonifinley4872 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The bass is Geoff (pronounced Jeff) Castellucci. He has about a 5-octave range. The beatboxer is Layne Stein. He also sings, rarely taking solo lines, mostly background harmonies, and also has a 5-octave range. Geoff and Layne do most of the arrangements for the group. ** They're the only remaining original members of the group, which started in 1997 as 4:2Five (when they were in middle school).
      The rocker who looks like he could go berserker is Eli (pronounced Ellie, rhyming with jelly) Jacobson. He's been with the group for 12 years, I believe. He's officially the group's tenor, although he has a 4-octave range.
      The newest member is Cesar (pronounced like the Roman Emperor Caesar) de la Rosa. He's been with them for 2 years now. Officially, he's their baritone, but he also has about a 4-octave range.
      Together the four of them - or five when they have a featured artist - they truly make musical magic.
      Welcome to the VoicePlay rabbit hole. We "voiceplayers" are all very happy in here!

      I concur. Honestly, I think this is the best video VoicePlay has done so far, and that is fairly elite territory. If you consider only the audio, there are a couple of others that might edge it out, but this one has just so much going on visually, and it's all so cleverly tied in with what is going on musically...

    I have listened to this now, at least 50 times. While the video, makeup, set and story telling is great, the musical aspect of this is beyond amazing. On a technical level it is brilliant, especially with supporting harmonies behind the solos. After the poot-burp part when Elizabeth solos, those background chords and harmonies are pure ear magic. Layne, my guy, you are an incredible composer. This whole piece has me speechless.
