@@singinceil There's some of both in this song (which is rare because I barely use subs) -- I can't remember which ones, but for some of the B1s and C2s I recorded them in both subs and chest, and then layered them together for a unique sound
Wasn’t until 2:37 I realised you’re not just a guy with a deep voice who can sing, but actually classically trained. Amazing, I hope you do well from this you’re clearly incredibly talented!
@@PeterBarber Yeah, holy shit, you are world class man! Everything, the “regular” singing part, the harmonies, your high notes (which sound completely effortless), the classical influences, your vibrato, and the subharmonic at the end. Great job. Subbed.
Are your stats showing you that I can’t stop watching this? It’s the *performance* that keeps me coming back. The stark visuals, the arrangement, the voice, it all contributes, but it’s the emotional connection that makes it so fuckin’ special. Yes, the goosebumps rise every time when you finally let it loose, but you start to break my fuckin’ heart around 3:27. That. That is what compels me to watch yet again. Well done.
you only need to be viral to yourself , seeking validation from others only brings disappointment and grief. if you have a gift by all means share it with the world but don't expect anything in return your existence is your reward .
I also like what happens starting at 2:37. Good tone, open throat, insane breath control. I also like it towards the end when you become introspective, a soft voice that draws us in.
I come back to this all the time. My favourite song sang in acapella, not to mention bass. Very strong cover with lots of vocal emotion. I love it! Saw this video a year or so ago and still amazes me each time.
Finally! An add from a smaller TH-camr that's actually good. Well done man, this is amazing. I hope you get the recognition you deserve out of this. :)
I was watching your analysis and reaction of Tom Ball "Creep" and you showed a bit of your version of that song, it got stuck in my head so I had to watch it. Wow!! It's one of the best A Capella performance I've seen. Congratulations.🤯🤯
I must say, I have personally loved all of your videos and arrangements but this has got to be my all time favorite based on the fact that not only is there INASANE FUCKING RANGE by you (and amazing cursing, you just make it sound effortlessly classy) I don't think people realize just HOW high you go versus your lowest, it's just amazing. And also when I listened the first couple times I didn't realize just how there was so many touches of your Opera techniques in this one, its such a nice blend of styles, I know I commented in one of your Opera songs that I wasn't a big opera fan(no offense to u at all) but that I loved the song. This one gives a bit of that side which I love! I'd love to hear you do other arrangements with that opera touch to them. Absolutely amazing. You've definitely made me a fan for sure.
I adore this so very much! It is of course impeccably sung and produced, but what gets me the most is that you're with the song emotionally, and that is something very special about your videos in particular. I would so love for Elizabeth Zharoff from The Charismatic Voice to react to this, she would probably majorly geek out over that beautiful bit from 2:38 onward. Thank you for this, that was truly an experience and I will come back to re-listen a LOT
Thanks, Rick! Slowly but surely, I'm making the long, uphill climb towards some kind of recognition 😅 I haven't had the luck of anything going "viral" yet, so my aim is to just keep putting out good content, and steadily gather a following that way
Bravo! I was stunned. I've seen you do several reactions and thoroughly enjoyed your commentary, so I knew you were a (classically trained) singer, but I did not know the range, depth and beauty of your voice until I stumbled upon this video. This is over a year old - how have I not found it long ago? Thank you so much for sharing your gift and the results of all the work you have put in to train to this level. I was a little "shook" with the f-bomb, but I got past it.
this is my favorite Radiohead song, so I love to hear everybody's interpretation....and must say...It sounds absolutely beautiful in a bass voice, nice arrangement Peter.
Lyrics : When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here She's running out the door She's running out She run, run, run, run Run Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want Yes you're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't belong here
One of those -alas- rare videos that truly are awesome. Elegance, power, beauty and mastery all in one. You have definitely earned a grateful fan. Thank you!
Loved this, Peter! Your Perc and upper register are amazing, but it’s still your deep “cozy” bass that brings those goosebumps. And you know those chills never lie! 4:01
Stunning! Such an incredible talent. Beautiful cover. A real treat. It's so fuckin' special, I found it on Apple! So glad I came across it here.Thanks for posting.
Beautiful! I like seeing different sides of you. I would love hearing more Opera. I've seen some of your work but wish I could experience you live in a production.
Absolutely breathtakingly epic. Just discovered your analysis of Dan Vasc's Amazing Grace. You are stellar! So happy I stumbled upon your beautiful voice! ❤
There really are a lot of similarities -- apparently many metal singers (as well as others like Freddie Mercury) were heavily influenced by opera singers. It's the OG after all 😏Many thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed 🙏
That's ole Peter for u. Loved the addition of overtones. Chef kiss to this cover. Just a suggestion: since video description is sort of hard to find in shorts, pinning a comment with the link to the full video will give it more visibility 👌🏻

Caught me off guard hearing a classically trained singer dropping an f-bomb with perfect diction and placement 😂
This might be my favorite comment ever 😂
BAHBAHA SAME
@@PeterBarber Subharmonic or chest? Couldn't here it exactly. Clean af. :)

Lmao
The overtone singing in the middle left frame adds a really haunting extra depth.
Great observation -- I totally agree. Perfect for spooky season 👻
I agree 100 percent
BAM!! I wanted to hear "run" in the low register, like a mythical Tyrannosaurus
Sounding like a T-Rex is really my only goal in life, so I'll make that a priority in future projects 😆
Wasn’t until 2:37 I realised you’re not just a guy with a deep voice who can sing, but actually classically trained. Amazing, I hope you do well from this you’re clearly incredibly talented!

@@PeterBarber Yes, well done. Coming from another classicly trained singer - this is the best version of Creep that I have heard.
Holy fck….what did I just hear….another fan hooked
whyyyyy isn’t this man viral 😭
Hopefully more and more people will catch on 😆 glad you like the content!
He will be. More and more people are becoming true seekers of Beauty.

This cover has just made me love this song even more
So glad to hear that!

That fuckin awesome bro, its perfect about all
Truly great vocals. It’s awesome to hear some baritone and base stuff. I’m a baritone and I really appreciate your sounds
Thanks so much! 🙏
This is absolutely amazing♥️. When you sang hat note at 2:45 I immediately started crying. Thank you for this. Truly wonderful.
Wow thank you so much! 😭❤
My fuckin speakers are shaking. HOLY BASS MAN
Really, really loved the "Run" section.
If Pentatonix ever needs a replacement, you’d be a great fit!
That'd really be a dream-come-true
Or VoicePlay or even HomeFree.

Thanks so much, Anna!
This is genuinely one of the best renditions of one of my favorite songs of all time!!! Your work is truly amazing I can’t wait to see more 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏
Polyphonic singing! So good for that song!
Definitely my favorite version of this song, hands down!

@@PeterBarber well you got my support!
I am so happy to see a capella is cool again. I am loving tha bass and tenor mix. Nice voice range.
Wow! Really liked your 'head voice" and was blown away by your opera voice ... incredible... beautiful... and so powerful. Bravo!
That's so fcukin special !!!!😊
This is fascinating ❤, talk about a range and so many vocal colors
God given voice. I'm not classically trained like my sister but I have had a not schooling to know when someone is special.
This is absolutely beautiful beautiful and breathtaking,,

Lyrics :
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Yes you're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
its gorgeous - and I love the lead "singers" faces!!
Thank you! Glad you like the faces 😆
Wow! Just WOW! This and “The Sound of Silence”...AMAZING!
BRILLIANT!!

I've never fallen in love with a song but I'll make an exception here *-* i Love it, i Love youre Voice

Loved this, Peter! Your Perc and upper register are amazing, but it’s still your deep “cozy” bass that brings those goosebumps. And you know those chills never lie! 4:01
My mouth dropped open at the higher voice!!
No doubt, one of the best performance. So clear, so intimate!!! Awesome! ❤Peter , my compliments to your voice techniques and charisma.
Thank you so much!!

When he went falsetto, goosebumps.

Wow! Just wow! Love it!
Wow Peter, you can sing polyphonic overtone? Aside from your beautiful voice and awesome arrangement, that's so amazing!
the overtones are beautiful 🤩
Glad you think so!
