Lyrics-Sing Along Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin' That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Take me home, down country roads Take me home, down country roads

My mom grew up during the time of John Denver, and even went to one of his concerts. When she heard this cover, she said, “This is the only other version of this song that’s acceptable, besides John Denver.” That says a LOT!
Home is... where your four clones are doing a marvelous job leaning casually against a fence in the cool shade of some trees, watching how you suffer in the hot sun, walk with glorious waving hair through cow poop and nearly get attacked by giant birds to shoot a music video. Mortimer the cow with his friends and unimpressed Tiger are real stars, glad they were featured in this! And I bet every thumps down is just an angry bird who was furious at your invasion of it's habitat to shoot this awesome video 🤣 It was definitely worth the struggles!
ok, now that's funny.... thank you for the chuckle. but yea... it's almost a Fabian moment w/that hair huh? geoff could be one of those faces on those paperback love stories ;-DD can see it now.... girl opens romance book....sees geoff's face...a quick jingle of Almost Heaven...and the poor girl hast to pick herself up from the ground an hour later to read the book ;-DD
Geoff I got a bunch of friends hooked on your music. We are all active duty military overseas. Would you ever be willing to do a bass singers cover with your spin on the National Anthem? If you did we would play it at our ceremonies!!!!!
Thank you all for your great service !! We need more people like you in this world we live in today and may God bless each and every one of you great souls 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
idk if people realize how amazing it is that you are separately recording yourself and harmonizing with ... yourself. the sub harmonics is catchy but the editing is equally as stunning
I would actually *LOVE* to learn how to do that. I have a voice that I truly believe could be a big deal if in the right hands. I have no ability to make music myself except my voice so layering vocal tracks would be my best bet at making a sample to shoot off to bands or something to try and make a career of it. I can hit *almost* every note Geoff does, but I have also mastered growls for metal vocals and can do them without damaging myself. I've been practicing behind closed doors for YEARS and now I'm actually confident enough to try and make something out of it.
What a gorgeous day to be out in the country! Must be a storm rolling in though. Hear that thunder rumbling? Oh, wait . . . my bad, that's Geoff over there singing.
I heard John Denver sing this in on the radio in1971 and loved it then . 50 years later, almost to the day when the song was first released (April 10, 1971), I hear the best rendition ever. I would like to thank you for this beautiful tribute to one of the greatest singers/songwriters of the 20th century.
I think this is so far the best example of the thing I love most about Geoff's voice. Yes, Geoff can sing really really low notes. Yes, he does it really really well. and yes, his low notes sound amazing. but more than that, Geoff is just an all-around amazing singer. His voice is like honey. His mid-range register is heavenly. Any register he sings in sounds like paradise.

Thought I’d move my comment on Patreon over here.
This was one of my great grandmother's favorite songs. When I first heard this I showed my mom. We just played it at her funeral. She would have loved this version. She always said to find a man with a deep voice because they never lie, and know how to treat their partner.
Geoff: *wind blows through his hair* Me: "Because you're worth it!" Anyways, I used to not like the song but this cover made me change my mind. Damn Geoff...
Well. He has done it again. Aside from the fact I am a sucker for an awesome bass voice, Geoff's smooth delivery, his range, and him creating his own vocal group by himself ... OK, you get the idea. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
As a fan of John Denver for life, I never dream that I would say someone could sing this song better than John. But Geoff, you are a truth new star . Wishing you a bright future. Thank you for bringing us many more happy moments down the road.
This version of the song is my favourite of all times. Always makes me cry. A lots of good memories of someone gone. Thanks a lot for this wonderful version. Keep doing what you like and you are amazing. A lots of your songs (of song's version) are great. I wish I could have such a voice. Wish you come in Montreal 1 day!
Такое гармоничное сочетание горлового пения и вокала❤ ,добавляя внешние данные ... Обаяние просто зашкаливает❤ Счастья вам , новых творческих свершений и возростающей востребованности ! Искренне благодарю вас за ваше творчество❤❤❤
Hitting the low notes is just as thrilling---but rarer---than the tenors hitting the high notes! Also the beauty of your videos is proof you're a creative artist as well as a fine singer.
Geoff, I love how when you do a cover, you don't just re-sing it, but change the meaning of the song to make it your own while keeping the core. It's a difficult thing to do, but it is very much appreciated.
I have been singing bass for almost 50 years now and I can only dream of singing like this guy. Amazing! Not just how low the notes are but how fantastic his tone is in the entire song. I can't stop listening to this. Please, please do more covers.
OMG! Geoff. I was 3 and 4 years old when my Grandmother would bring her Sweet Adeline group to the house and practice there. This was one of the songs they use to practice. As a little boy I would stare up into their mouths wondering where and how that sound was being made. I loved their practices and the incredibly beautiful music that would occur. While there is obviously a huge difference between a group of women singing that song and you voice, you did an incredible job on it. That was freaking awesome. Made my day. Thank you, sir. Would you mind if I played this during my live broadcast next Thursday? Brought back so many memories for me, and I will be talking about those very memories that day. Thank you.
Interesting voice, I never thought I'd hear anything like this with this song country roads.... It's weird and I really enjoyed hearing this song in this context if bass.... Trip out... Great job for shedding some new light on the subject... Thanks for expanding my mind ..👏👏🥂👍❤️🔥
When I was a kid there was a character in Marvel comics called Black Bolt. His voice was so strong he could shatter a mountain with a whisper. Geoff Castellucci's voice is the voice of Black Bolt.
I am a 79 year old grandmother, and I'm in love with VoicePlay. Just recently discovered this fabulous a cappella group. All the voices are outstanding.
I also love that group! One of my favorite songs they sing is a Journey song called Anyway you want it! And their cover to "I can't make you love me"(if you don't) Their acapella is totally awesome!
@@lorencalfe6446 Voice Play is a singing group Geoff is in along with other guys. I think you're talking about when Geoff clones himself and sings the song 16 Tons. That was my first video going down Geoff's rabbit hole! All's good in my opinion!
I am a proud mountaineer like my daddy before me. My dad (who also sang bass) was a big fan of John Denver's version of this before he passed two years ago and I can tell you right now like me he'd have been a huge fan of this version just as much! Amazing job!
I'm speechless, I've been singing for years and have tons of friends with deep bass voices and yours is so extremely unique something I've never heard before - Amazing. I really enjoyed your bassfied rendition!
Oh Dios, este hombre, su presencia, su voz en toda extension es lo mas cercano a un angel. Te llega con cada nota directo al corazon. Que talento, que aura esspectacular. Dios te guarde Geoff y nos permita disfrutar de ese pedazo de cielo en tu persona por mucho tiempo. Este cover de lo mejor.... ❤
I'm a long-time John Denver fan and have always appreciated his skill with crafting songs as well as his passion for the world around him and I think he would be honored to see how you not only kept the song alive to share with another generation but also used this platform to show of the beauty that can be found in the simple things. Wonderful performance!
The description saying "No need to thank me, your comments about the wind blowing in my hair are thanks enough." is very true. Your hair in the wind looks amazing
Love it! Country is the best genre for Bass Singers like us! That's why I would recommend a Johnny Cash Song for your next cover! Maybe "God's Gonna Cut You Down" or "Ain't No Grave"? 🙏🏼🎶❤️ We love you Geoff!
I'm an even simpler woman. I see Geoff then see the title and say "I shouldn't" ... before I even realise I'm looking at it, not even the comments, it's just Geoff and his singing.
2:08. My soul left me a few times in this song, but it was at this particular moment when it decided not to come back. You knocked this out of all the ball parks.
This is beautifully done. My first job out of college took me to West Virginia. It was my first move away from home. I have a LOT of memories tied up in that song. Thank you, Geoff, for a truly wonderful rendition and a walk down memory lane. 💕
@@sherrymerrill6317 YAYASSSS and dont I know it. I say it in public!!! Too.. Well here is how I put it. ..when with one of my fellow Motley Fools...Exclusively of course...I say ..My Hormones. Day just appeared on my shoulder like ZippityDooDah!!!
I just found out you are only one guys with different posses, I thought there were four of you. You got me laughing, stinker. Love your videos and that beautiful voice of yours . Wishing you happiness and much success. ❤❤❤
Showed this to my daughter who LOVES cows, she loved the whole video and said "Mom he's absolutely stunning. I forgot about the cows." Your voice is beautiful!
No fair! I'm a barrel chested (some might say tubby, including myself) bass with a chest volume that Geoff could literally call a comfy home.... and he outbasses me by a mile!
Прекрасное звучание! Особенно великолепны переходы с тенора на глубокий бас! Получается необычное звучание многоголосья и полифонии! Особенный голос! Красиво! И очень гармонично самое видео с мелодией! Браво!
I absolutely taken a back. I was blessed or cursed (depending on how one looks at it). By a very deep voice. I've never heard of Geoff. This just popped up and played after " a man of constant sorrow" by Home Free. Just WOW!!!! This made my day and its only 6am. It was great to sing in the same tone as the artist on a song that i know every word.
I've watched a lot of those videos reviewing Geoff and Voiceplay and seen him described as a dragon, not of this world, and someoe who steals other peoples' voices, as no one can possibly do all that. And play the piano. It's just not fair on everyone else. But descriptions aside it's the looks of disbelief and sheer amazement that keeps me watching them. I just enjoy sharing the love.
Sang, sir! Sang! Bass, baritone, tenor... I honestly don't think it matters. You just sang it! Your talent is really just so fun to listen to. Just listening to all the parts, the mixing, and the programming. I have done sound for forever, and no soundman can create the talent you have. I say just keep having fun and never stop developing. Because watching these videos and kind of following your work is just splendid fun.
Hi Geoff, I'm a West Virginia gal and I have to say that you sir are an absolutely incredible vocalist!! I can tell that the video wasn't shot in West Virginia though. The mountains are missing. 🙂 lol Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thank you Geoff!!! Beautiful rendition of Country Roads!!! @@bluewolf993 And there’s the reason WEST Virginia separated from Virginia! Virginia is certainly NOT the better half but it seems the old arrogance still runs strong there, even after 150+ years. Lol West Virginian’s stuck by Their country (hence why we separated ourselves from VA)-Virginia cannot say the same. Nuff said. 😊 oh, btw not all West Virginian’s are uneducated, mountain folk. Some of us are intelligent, edumacated, hillbillies 😉
A glimpse of heaven is seeing FIVE Geoffs lounging against a farm gate. Woooo! 😏That is too much for this Ohio country girl. This video/song remains my very favorite from him. 🥰
Love this song. This man has got to have one of the best vocals I’ve heard in a long time. John Denver would be proud just like Johnny Cash would be if the cover this very talented did.

Lyrics-Sing Along
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Bro you got pinned!!!!!
Awesome
Nice
Lucky you

I saw the early release on Patreon and I promise you all will like it.
Can buy it on iTunes also....
They are all very talented but John Denver will always be the best at his own music. When he sang it you could feel his experiences.
@@M-S_4321 the world has room for both. 🎶
@@cSquaredFactotum Just as the world has room for both your opinion and mine.🎵
I am a proud mountaineer like my daddy before me. My dad (who also sang bass) was a big fan of John Denver's version of this before he passed two years ago and I can tell you right now like me he'd have been a huge fan of this version just as much! Amazing job!
RIP to your dad
The range of his voice and the depth of control he has is nothing short of a miracle. This man is truly blessed with a gifted voice.
geoffs hair is truly a thing of beauty in this
It was...is. It is
@@cassidys5467 true, true. "Is" is better than "was"
I'm speechless, I've been singing for years and have tons of friends with deep bass voices and yours is so extremely unique something I've never heard before - Amazing. I really enjoyed your bassfied rendition!
Thank you for the homage paid to John Denver. I was in high school when this song was released. Love it now as much as I did then. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've only discovered you within in the last 1 or 2 months my fav artist of 2023 by far. Your amazing Geoff
Oh Dios, este hombre, su presencia, su voz en toda extension es lo mas cercano a un angel. Te llega con cada nota directo al corazon. Que talento, que aura esspectacular. Dios te guarde Geoff y nos permita disfrutar de ese pedazo de cielo en tu persona por mucho tiempo. Este cover de lo mejor.... ❤
When you like it even though it hasn't even started yet xD
my heart is just ready for some lowness or highness... just range in general
As a West Virginian I’m very very excited for this
Me too. WV Proud
As well you should be.
As a non West Virginian I am also
Florida, sandy road and Spanish moss included, should be insulted, though.
WV pride
I have roots in West Virginia. They were cut off by a divorce between my parents. I found this version extremely moving, thank you and God bless you.
I'm a long-time John Denver fan and have always appreciated his skill with crafting songs as well as his passion for the world around him and I think he would be honored to see how you not only kept the song alive to share with another generation but also used this platform to show of the beauty that can be found in the simple things. Wonderful performance!
The description saying "No need to thank me, your comments about the wind blowing in my hair are thanks enough." is very true. Your hair in the wind looks amazing
Geoff, I'm old, I don't need the sing along words. I learned when it was new. LOL! I love your take on it. It takes me back. :) thank you!
I get sad... every time he stops singing...what a once century voice. Thank you Geoff, just for being you!
Love it! Country is the best genre for Bass Singers like us! That's why I would recommend a Johnny Cash Song for your next cover! Maybe "God's Gonna Cut You Down" or "Ain't No Grave"? 🙏🏼🎶❤️
We love you Geoff!
Deine Stimme ist so beeindruckend
I'm a simple man.. i see Geoff, i click.
I'm an even simpler woman. I see Geoff then see the title and say "I shouldn't"
... before I even realise I'm looking at it, not even the comments, it's just Geoff and his singing.
2:08. My soul left me a few times in this song, but it was at this particular moment when it decided not to come back. You knocked this out of all the ball parks.
Голосище!!!! Пупырчатые мурашки толпами бегают! Супер! Кайф!
Geoff Castelucci + Tim Foust + Avi Kaplan + Josh Turner = one epic basso profundo bone melting treat.
Yes Yes Yes! Need that
Definitely and absolutely
They will blow the whole world 🌍 apart…..Dunno about just speaker 🔈 systems…..❤
But who will be Bass and who will be Tenor? 🤔
@@FireKiller70 they'll take turns
This will entertain me as I travel home from school on my country roads. Thank you Geoff. Now all we need is Blinding lights cover
Absolutely gorgeous, both the voice and the man. I'm happily speechless. ❤
This is beautifully done. My first job out of college took me to West Virginia. It was my first move away from home. I have a LOT of memories tied up in that song. Thank you, Geoff, for a truly wonderful rendition and a walk down memory lane. 💕
Dearest Geoff, I am 23 years past menopause, and your singing turns my hormones back on. Thanks.
Best comment EVER!
@@sherrymerrill6317 YAYASSSS and dont I know it. I say it in public!!! Too.. Well here is how I put it. ..when with one of my fellow Motley Fools...Exclusively of course...I say ..My Hormones. Day just appeared on my shoulder like ZippityDooDah!!!
Best comment I've ever read 👏👏
Someone is down bad lmao
I knew it
My son have become huge fans he’s 10 all are voices match in sequence it sounds amazing
Me at 1:05 dang he has an amazing range-
Me at 1:06 - KITTY
That wasn’t a cat that was a CHONK
Literally did the exact same thing and then I saw this comment. Absolutely golden!
Lol
Omg. I just did this 😂
That was a floof a big floof
Sounds like velvet, looks like a romance novel cover. Nice.
I just found out you are only one guys with different posses, I thought there were four of you.
You got me laughing, stinker. Love your videos and that beautiful voice of yours . Wishing you happiness and much success. ❤❤❤
Always impressive. Saying you have a gift would cut you short. Serious praise for your dedication, practice and training.
Showed this to my daughter who LOVES cows, she loved the whole video and said "Mom he's absolutely stunning. I forgot about the cows." Your voice is beautiful!
I sympathize with your daughter
That’s so cute!! His voice surely is beautiful
There were cows in this video? Lol !!!
What cows?
He looks like an angel 😭
No fair! I'm a barrel chested (some might say tubby, including myself) bass with a chest volume that Geoff could literally call a comfy home.... and he outbasses me by a mile!
Прекрасное звучание! Особенно великолепны переходы с тенора на глубокий бас! Получается необычное звучание многоголосья и полифонии! Особенный голос! Красиво! И очень гармонично самое видео с мелодией! Браво!
I absolutely taken a back. I was blessed or cursed (depending on how one looks at it). By a very deep voice. I've never heard of Geoff. This just popped up and played after " a man of constant sorrow" by Home Free. Just WOW!!!! This made my day and its only 6am. It was great to sing in the same tone as the artist on a song that i know every word.
Даже те, кто не очень любит кантри музыку, песню Джеффа оценит по достоинству. Очень красиво получилось!💓☑️
Очень редко встречается такой проникновенный и завораживающий голос. Закрываю глаза, слушаю и время как-будто останавливается. 💌🇷🇺
Unbelievable beautiful. As always! Anyone else think an arrangement of Geoff singing three wooden crosses would bring tears?
As a WV native hearing this version is stunning. You did the song with the honor it gets here every time it's played or sang.
I've watched a lot of those videos reviewing Geoff and Voiceplay and seen him described as a dragon, not of this world, and someoe who steals other peoples' voices, as no one can possibly do all that. And play the piano. It's just not fair on everyone else. But descriptions aside it's the looks of disbelief and sheer amazement that keeps me watching them. I just enjoy sharing the love.
Sang, sir! Sang! Bass, baritone, tenor... I honestly don't think it matters. You just sang it! Your talent is really just so fun to listen to. Just listening to all the parts, the mixing, and the programming. I have done sound for forever, and no soundman can create the talent you have. I say just keep having fun and never stop developing. Because watching these videos and kind of following your work is just splendid fun.
His voice makes me calm
This song is one of my favorites and I love his style so this song match so well ❤❤❤
2:13 My man channeled his inner Austin Brown for those tenor parts
Sounds just like him lol
@@paxtongray8985 I thought it was just me. 😂
It for real sounds like Austin....like there’s even country twang....
We deserve a collab!!!!
A LOT of people -- including myself -- heard Austin in Geoff's tenor parts. Geoff is truly amazing!
I got to admit being from West Virginia. I thought no one could amount to John Denver and by God you did it justice John Denver would be proud
I came here to say how much I wish John Denver could be alive to hear this. I know he'd love it.
Damn that fuel supply lever anyway...
Totally agree!!!
They have a decent version in the KINGS MAN golden circle
He is not actually in West Virginia In this video, he is in Florida
I'm from the UK and I love the ranch culture of America so much! This made me super happy! Thanks Geoff!
Ох, какой классный деревенский пейзаж, сразу на сердце легко и приятно)
John Denver is my favorite artist! Great job on this cover of one his hits!!
Me: I’m not much of a country music fan 🤷🏻♀️
Geoff: almost Heaven-
Me: 🤠🎶🐄🐖🐎🌽🪕🚜🇺🇸
I think country roads is like... the exception for every music lover
I think you just like Geoff. Barely anything to do with country
Bitch same
@@MiniCerberus991 yeah that's also a part
@@glorytoukraine5524 That's the joke, his voice makes pretty much everything more enjoyable
Большое спасибо за ваше творчество. От вашего голоса мурашки по коже. Впечатляет !
Love his voice so amazing
Hi Geoff, I'm a West Virginia gal and I have to say that you sir are an absolutely incredible vocalist!! I can tell that the video wasn't shot in West Virginia though. The mountains are missing. 🙂 lol Thanks for sharing your talent!
He does say in the description that it was filmed in Florida.
As a Virginian (WV’s better half) that’s the first thing I noticed. The dirt isn’t that Godawful red clay of the Appalachians.
Thank you Geoff!!! Beautiful rendition of Country Roads!!!
@@bluewolf993 And there’s the reason WEST Virginia separated from Virginia! Virginia is certainly NOT the better half but it seems the old arrogance still runs strong there, even after 150+ years. Lol West Virginian’s stuck by Their country (hence why we separated ourselves from VA)-Virginia cannot say the same. Nuff said. 😊 oh, btw not all West Virginian’s are uneducated, mountain folk. Some of us are intelligent, edumacated, hillbillies 😉
A glimpse of heaven is seeing FIVE Geoffs lounging against a farm gate. Woooo! 😏That is too much for this Ohio country girl. This video/song remains my very favorite from him. 🥰
I was trying to hit his low register and just strained my voice. Damn, that low register is such a beautiful sound.
Love this song. This man has got to have one of the best vocals I’ve heard in a long time. John Denver would be proud just like Johnny Cash would be if the cover this very talented did.
