- Geoff shook my CORE with this one! Definitely one of my favorites, a standout up there with Sixteen Tons and Blackbird. Geoff always comes to impress, but this one is really up there with some of the greats. I had a ton of fun listening and reacting to it, and I hope you did to!
By the way, I see and hear all your requests for Mortimiss to return for another reaction, or even a duo reaction. She prefers to only do it with songs she personally enjoys, whereas I can enjoy a cover of a song I've never heard before. Rest assured, the next time someone drops a cover of a song she already likes, we'll get her back for you guys :)
As always, make sure you:

"What is that progression?!" That's what is technically called "Ascension into God-hood." Love your enthusiasm!
Amen
Halleluja!
Wouldn't it technically be Descension?
Apotheosis as the Greeks would call it.
Where he "growled" is common with us bass singers doing a scoop down in the upper bass/lower baritone register. It's more of a creak to try to stay out of a lower note than he wants. Basically, it is sort of a growl; it's activating the false vocal cords for a fraction of a second.
I was coming to comment that it’s more so slight vocal fry rather than growl, a lot of singers do the same, regardless of where their register is. Ed Sheeran is a prime example of this
His use of regular items in this song like in 16 tons adds so much. I've been waiting for this reaction. Your details are so good and I always learn something. It starts slow for me but becomes epic quickly
This is not a cover, his arrangement took it to a higher level. Geoff is always so creative and amazing! I love his solo and VP performances! 🔥💖
And I love your reactions! No matter what kind of day I'm having, you make it much better! 😍 Thank you!
Just saw the comment. It IS a cover of the original by Rare Earth. I grew up with it. Enjoying this version is an experience.
"♫ Mothers tell you're children, yeah, not to do what I've do-o-nnnnne...In the house of the Rising Sunnnnn ♫
Geoff did a subharmonic Eb1 on the "closed n" of "done' and G#1 chest voice on the "sun". Apparently much harder to do because it's a low note on a closed consonant.
(according to vocal coaches and singers reacting to this song)
Yes and no. Typically it's harder on a closed consonant, but whenever I attempt to either go into a deeper vibratory growl for either beatboxing or singing, "n" is one of the easiest consonants to start that growl/vibration pattern on. Try closing your mouth (or even keeping it open, works either way) and just go "Nnnnnnnnnnnn" in the same way that you'd go "Mmmm" over something being good. If you know how to do the growl, you'll notice it's much easier to slip into it, but even people who can't/don't know how to do it can still sorta feel that rumble or vibration coming up. Also worth noting, this is my personal experience and I've connected with a few other bassblasters (our in-server name for the bassier people) who felt the same, but I of course can't speak for the entirety of every bass vocalist/beatboxer in the world, you know?
So yes, closed consonants are usually more difficult, but certain ones like N, D, R, and W (potentially more, those are just my usual warm-ups for when I know I'm gonna be getting bassy). I hope this doesn't come off as a lecture or like I'm ridiculing you at all, I just don't get to talk about things like this often and I like teaching ^-^
@@TanisAnnicchiarico I don't mind at all and not once did i felt ridiculed. It was very informative and from it I now know this particular consonant likely isn't that hard for Geoff, in particular as it are "mere" warmups O_O
Yep! As a low bass (solid D2), I can confirm that low notes are much easier with small vowels/spaces than with large ones. Ah, uh, oh are much harder to sing low than ee, oo, n, m. High notes are the opposite, easier with big vowels. Oh high notes, you sometimes see people modify small vowels to make them bigger (occasionally change the vowel entirely), and I sometimes modify big vowels on low notes to be smaller to get more resonance.
At that subharmonic note the candle over his right shoulder lights up.
I just love the way the four Geoffs look at each other and all the different expressions they make while looking at each other.
You always brighten up my day with your reactions. Your enthusiasm and knowledge and great hearing are eye/ear candy for me. Ty love your personality.. ♥ From the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thank YOU! Glad you’re enjoying the content 😊
I love how in literally every reaction video I watch of Geoff the reviewer giggles, blushes and laughs in giddiness at every low note. Don't worry ... I do the same thing so I just grin and say yup, I know... I know!
Your contagious energy mixed with the great musical input is so refreshing! Awesome job
Man, you are fangirling so hard right now, and I love it! 😂
I have enjoyed a couple of reactions with voice coaches... Where basically they just sit and point out the points younger cover artists should just learn from him. This cover is based more on the older versions of this song, rather than the faster version preformed by the Animals, and as usual by the time Geoff has finished it is a completely different song.
Excellent knot work on your necktie!
Loved your reaction. You always make me notice things in a new way 😁
Ahh, first person to notice the trinity! Decided to mix it up this time, thanks for the compliment on the outfit and the content 💖
@@officialmortius if you ask Geoff, he’s just a baritone bass, but with an extension, like me
The lighter and trunk are great examples of rhythmic punctuation.
Dear Mortius, I’m one of your newest subscribers, it was Voiceplay that led me to you. I listen to a lot of reaction videos though I have never thought of subscribing to anyone before. But you are exceptional, so enthusiastic and happy. And all that I learn from you! I have never listened to music the right way before - that you have just shown me. I can’t wait to see all your reaction videos - future and past.
Love, love, love your energy! ❤️
Your reactions are always so great. I didn’t think anything could make me smile today, either, given the date.
Hoist the colors. New song dropped by voiceplay. Just pure awesomeness. One of their best covers.
Yes, it’s another Geoff masterpiece! Thanks for your reaction!
You know your basso profundo is epic-o when you get a grown man giggling like a middle school girl
Great reaction! 10:10 is how everyone reacts to Geoff lol "Nope nope nope what?" 😂
Geoff just be like, oh yeah, I can do this too
Geoff Castelucchi and Voiceplay are Serial Reactor Killers! 🤣 New subscriber here, and I live to see Reactors fangasm over Geoff and Voiceplay!! Just because it makes me happy I am not alone in making all the funny faces and weird gigglesnorts! 🤣
Mortius, dude...I freaking love you. I keep trying to subscribe more than once. :) You react to his stuff EXACTLY as I do on my first first few listens of his stuff. Including stopping it just to breathe after one of those "moments". I also appreciate that you have a much deeper technical knowledge than I do and point out things that I didn't get on my own.
I love how Geoff sings with his hands too
......................I have not seen a flawlessly tried trinity necktie in YEARS good lord man
Geoff is beside himself singing. Your joy is delightful.
Yes, this is amazing in every way. Appreciate your reaction and enjoyment of it!
It was a 3 octave drop Eb3-Eb1
I just love how you break out into giggles whenever you get shocked by something he does. You are such a trip. lol, keep it coming, sweetie.
Mortius: I thought he was going to go down there.
Me: He’s saving it for “doooooooonnne.”
And I believe “done” was on the same note in three different octaves.
Yea I think it’s an Eb3-Eb2-Eb1 sub progression.
I enjoy Mortius analysis best of all. Thank you, Mortius!
Another great reaction! I love watching you react to Geoff!
I absolutely love this reaction video. I wish I could hit LIKE every time I watch it. Love it!
100% my favorite reaction to this video. You never fail to entertain and educate
You are so awesome. Thanks for all the great fun and knowledge 😀
I love your reactions and analyses 😁 This is one of my favourites of his! So creative. Oh, and check the video back for one effect you missed when he hit that Eb1 subharmonic - keep an eye on the candle 😉
I have just accepted that VP and Geoff Castellucci are in the stratosphere - well above we mere mortals.
For both song and Geoff that is acrobatics. Unusual runs, note selections, rhythm. Very different house of the rising sun across the board.
His bass hums in this one make me think of Matthew Mcconaughey in Wolf on Wall Street when he beats his chest at lunch… and it just adds this very rich element to the arrangement.
I love seeing you melt to the song
That tonguey smile. Adorable.
I really want to see his one man take on Hotel California some day
Glad to see you back. Your other half did a bang-up job last week.
I may be late to the party, but I'd like to suggest you react to "Numb" by Onair. Group from Germany.
From a Bass. Those hums vibrate your jaw A LOT.
Love the reaction Geoff is always a win. And as you are sporting a necktie I would like to point you to the "GC Windsor LLC" a new kickstarter about necktie knots you my like.
Great reaction! You should react to Tomi P’s cover of My Mother Told Me. It’s mind blowing🤯😁
Or Hellfire
@@carinalundstrom7566 I second this. And his toss A Coin To The Witcher. Because Tomi P not only can go just as low (though uses Ingressive sound technique instead of subharmonic), but is the only a cappella singer besides Geoff I know often skipping two octaves up or down and with ease. Besides he is very comfortable in head voice and even uses whistle register!
And his new country medley!!
I am loving your reactions, they bring me such joy and the enthusiasm is so wholesome. I'd love to see your reaction to 'Hoist the Colours', Voiceplay's new video, as it has BROKEN every reactor I follow!!
You've only got four days to wait for that one :D
@@officialmortius I can hardly wait!!
The details, it's all in the detais. Brilliant. Great reaction too.
Please react to his cover of “16 tons” I know you’ll love it. He doesn’t use any sub-harmonics in it just his low chest voice along with head voice for backgrounds.
Voice play Hoist the colours, you will LOVE it!!!!
I love this arrangement bass beast!! I would love to see us do a 100 bass a capella version with this arrangement could you imagine the rolling thunder on that lol
I’m so excited for their new cover to come out. It breaks records in terms of… Geoff. You’ll need a keyboard to tell the pitch, even tho it’s not even a note on many pianos. 👀👀👀
So excited for people to see it.
Wait hold on which one?
Hi Mortius! I originally subscribed for your HF reactions, but you've introduced me to other groups and singers, also - thanks! I just found a great one by Voice play - "Just Sing" - have you seen it? It's about a year old and I can't stop watching it! It has many guest a cappella singers, including a very familiar bass 👍 Would love to see you react to it 🙂
Thank you for the support, and I am so glad I could introduce you to VoicePlay!! Just Sing is absolutely one of my favorites; if you haven't yet, you should also check out their version of Oogie Boogie and their Little Mermaid Medley, those are two of my favorites by them :)
@@officialmortius Thanks, will check them out 🙂
I know you're not a Pentatonix fan, but have you listened to some of Avi's solo stuff? He does some of those amazing bass hums.
This and Sixteen Tons have made it on to my regular playlist.
Take notice to the candle over his right shoulder. It lights up as soon as he hits that subharmonic just after the trunk closes & after he sings ..not to do.what I've done.
The progression was Eb3 Eb2 Eb1
Like this arrangement of the song for Geoff.
Still prefer the Animals and their version.
Both are very good .
You need to react to both “Sixteen Tons” and an early one by Geoff “High and Dry”. Also, I don’t see that you’ve reacted to either “Little Mermaid Medley“ or “Oogie Boogie Song” by VoicePlay. These are not to be missed. If you’ve already heard them, you could do a review. I’d be interested in your analysis. I enjoy finding out what you hear that I did or didn’t. Thanks for your reaction
You are right, the reason I haven’t done a video on those is because I enjoyed them before I began doing reactions! Perhaps one day I’ll do an analysis, but I’m not sure people would be so interested if it wasn’t a genuine reaction…
I’m sure many of your followers would like to hear your insights on how they were done. I know I would. Plus it gives us an excuse to hear them again! Just mention up front that you’ve already seen/heard the song so you’re doing an analysis rather than a reaction so anyone who only wants to see reactions will know to skip it.
Let's see if you still have some wisdom.... . It was a pleasure to "meet" your wife by the way. Alright... so most of the the wisdom is still there... but it was a trunk that closed, not a suitcase . Loved it, all jokes aside.
That scoop you heard was a scoop down into chest voice it was just very airy
Sneeky percussion in this one. The lighter, the trunk and the striking match sound before the candle over his right shoulder lights up.
трех-октавовый розовый попугайчик Кеша, в шоке...
Glad you're feeling better. Both Voice Play (Magic Dance) and Home Free (Undivided) have new tracks out. Looking forward to seeing you check them out. Hugs to you and your lady from Newfoundland.
I don’t do reactions to the shorts, but Magic Dance was a blast to listen to :) I’m a huge labyrinth fan.
Undivided will be dropping next Saturday 😁
It's just a human voice
And imagine hearing the voice of the LORD... Thunder is nothing but a whistle to GOD's voice.
yes that is Geoff ... check out all he does.. and the band he is with non solo called ---- oh nevm ... he is not subsonic, and he is not doing fray... this guy has a 6 octave inhuman range
At 7:41 Mortius asks what progression is that? (meaning Geoff singing three octaves in a single word) and I am guessing that is what the title of his video means though he doesn't actually say that.
Yes!! After recording I was able to talk to my brother who has a much better ear for pitch, and he shared with me that it’s an octave drop each time. Which is so impressive!!
Lower than D.. try it on your keyboard
while watching your video, 31 people subscribed... not bad ;-)
you should react to corpse husband white tee and agoraphobic
Pentatonix?
Check out Kazandra Brock's reaction to this song with her friend Sarah.......she is more Fangirl of Geoff.....lol
also everything in here is chest and subharmonics
technicaly not acapella though since he has guitar and percussion so i d say title is wrong
Can you plz react to his blackbird cover. ??
I'm not dislikin what you did here but since your voice is peaking in sound level by your enthousiasm and Geoff's rendition stays well limited you should put a limiter on your voice track and mix geoff's rendition a little harder. I don't whish to break down you rvideo but because of the big differences in sound level it's kinda hard to listen to. I hope you don't mind some well meant build up critique. Other than that you have some interesting remarks.
You are too cute! 🤣❤️ just saying what I‘m thinking with just way more enthusiasm.
While I LOVE Geoff Castellucci so much, this (imo) is not his best work. You touched on a lot of what I noticed as well. However, he seems to singing more from his mask a lot in this one & does so many bass drops it comes across as gimmicky to me. (Again, that is just my opinion). I DO like how he DOES showcase his range on this one, but I feel that Oogie Boogie & If I Were A Rich Man/Girl shows better his talent. I noticed that on this one (as opposed to some of his other work) he holds the bass on the consonants (like nnnnn in "done" rather than the vowels). Maybe that's why I feel it's too much into his mask instead of chest notes. However, with all of that being said, STILL gotta love Geoff. He's the man!
Mr. M I think you ought to react to Peter Barber & Bobby Bass Waters doing the cover of Avi's The Summit. Peter is a professional opera singer (but you'd never know it by the way he does some covers...doesn't come across that way) & both Peter & Bobby are classically trained basses. Another that I recommend is The Bass Gang doing a cover of Billy Eilish's Bury a Friend. (Might want to do that one closer to Halloween as it's kinda creepy in the way it's filmed for the vid. Bobby's sister is a film major & did an awesome job filming it).
I’m not familiar with this song, is it a cover? Usually I like him a lot, but I’m not sure about this one, and it’s not him, my ears are sensitive to a lot of bass so it’s hard for me to listen to this particular song.
Yes. Very much so. It's been done by dozens of artists dating back to like the 20's/30's. No one really knows where the song came from or when it was wrote. The most famous version was performed by a group called The Animals in the '60's.
While I love watching your reactions, the sound on the music is always so much softer than your voice. Are you aware of this and are you working on the problem? And yes Geoff is amazing doing this song.
I am aware of this being a problem on my previous videos, yes. But I fixed it before this recording, and you are the first person to say it on this video. In my recording software, Geoff’s voice is actually a HIGHER decibel count than my own. So I don’t know what you could possibly be referring to.
Over analysed
Horrible. Drags song on and on , The Animals version by far is better. Seems to just be hitting low notes just because he can. Adds nothing to this song
Did you not get to the point where he kicks it up? Only the opening is slow.
