As someone who has listened to the Johnny Cash cover of this song many a time, I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this! I loved what you did with the arrangement, and Rick did such an amazing job on the Geoffettes’ makeup and beard styling. Also, I’m glad we’ve finally confirmed the fourth Geoffette’s name is Daryl. Howdy, Daryl!
In addition to the epic vocals, can I just say how much I love the effort taken to make each of the alternate Geoff's a stand-alone character. Ghost #2 with the big beard and the duster seriously looks like he outweighs the others by about 40lbs, and I just now noticed that #3 is left-handed! Such attention to detail makes my heart happy.
Hey Geoff, last week I chose you for my presentation in english class and it was amazing! The teacher loved it and was completely flabbergasted when I started talking about subharmonics and all that 😂 and I even made her check you and Voiceplay out!! I'm very very much looking forward to this song, much love from France ❤️
@@GeoffCastellucci ahhh I'm so happy you saw that 😭 I was soooo happy to introduce you and Voiceplay to my class, you are all AMAZING!!!! I love you so much keep doing your wonderful work 😁
@@GeoffCastellucci you are inspiriation to both the very young and talented peers as as the very old masterful adults and elderly seniors brother geoff
First, this is one of my favourite things Geoff has done yet and I can't wait for everyone else to see it. Second, all the best to you and your family, Geoff, after the dreadful week with Hurricane Ian! Hope you guys are doing well.
Now this is a video like we used to see. Not just a bunch of paid dancers. A video showing incredible human singing talent and musical creativity. Best video I have seen in 30 years. That voice is deeep. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely how Geoff doesn’t let being in an Acapella group prevent him from exploring his own passions and hobbies when it comes to music. Getting solo and group content from one of the best basses in Acapella history that’s quality is total gravy
It’s not an actual group. He’s singing all the parts individually and thru the magic of video editing it looks like a group. Takes a lot of skill and patience to create this.
Absolutely gorgeous! My grandpa was a bass and he loved singing this song to me when I was little. He's been gone for 8 years now but hearing this song brought him back for just a few minutes. Thank you for that. Always love listening to you dance along your vocal range, Geoff.
@@GeoffCastellucci it was quite different from the original by Mr. Cash. And I enjoyed it very much. Your work continues to be astounding on another level not known to man nor beast.
Geoff, Jeff, Daryl, Jeoph, Goff - This is ASTONISHING. Thank you so, SO much! I love the storytelling in this, too. Also, a HUGE thank you to Eli for the backgrounds and lighting, to Rick for the make-up, to Kathy, and to everyone involved! Thank you! This is a masterpiece...! Also, so glad you've made it through the hurricane!
This is the absolute definition of quality over quantity. You don’t post many new songs, but when you do we get absolute jaw dropping masterpieces like this. Phenomenal.
Geoff. Whoa. Just whoa. This is absolutely astounding. I am continually amazed at your ability to (1) arrange these songs I know very well into versions that stay true to their original spirit, yet are oh so *you,* and (2) create visuals for these songs that so clearly tell a story and are incredibly memorable to boot. I love that you chose to have the narrator as well as the ghost riders represented in the video. The transparency effect applied to the ghost riders is just so *COOL.* I just adore the creepiness of them. Kudos to Rick for the looks and to you for imbuing them with such distinctly different personalities. Thank you for continuing to let me ride on this crazy train of yours. 🤠
I couldn't have said it better! But, wait, he also did all the parts in this!?? Each part is such a distinct character, not to mention the range! I am in awe!!! 💜🌌
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! I'm gonna die! I almost choked on my bite of dinnerwhen I saw this. 13 hours until premiere. This... this song. Oh gods, you guys. My father used to play guitar and sing it from my very first memories. It's one that ALWAYS brings back the absolute best memories I have of my father. And I'm going to get to hear Geoff do it in that voice that makes me feel like everything is right with the world. I'm already crying and I haven't even heard it yet.
My Dad had a quadriphonic sound system and had a tape of this. You could lay in the center of his bed and hear the cows and horses ride right over top of you. That was the only thing missing .
There are so many different versions of this song already out there I wasn't sure what more could be done with it, but I enjoyed this version so much it immediately became my new favorite! Jeoph wins best clone award from me, love that outfit, though I considered voting for the lefty just because I thought it was such a nice touch to include (and note even took his hat off left-handed!) Also, the little tidbits in the description under the video are amusing. Speaking of which, as for patreon supporters, ride on down and git yerself signed up if you haven't already... everybody's doing it. ;) And don't worry, the rest of us patrons are only as weird as the folks we support...
@@theredalpha7290 Goff is the lefty, Jeoph is the 'sherrif-y' looking one with just the mustache, Jeff is the plain shaven one, and dear Daryl is the brown coat with the glorious full beard. Geoff is, of course, the narrator.
Two words popped into my head as I was listening to some of your other songs recently, Geoff, and this song just cements that idea. The first is “sculptor.” You take a rather repetitive song and step back to examine it. You take it into your hands and work it, mould it, chisel away pieces here and add contours there, until a masterful work of art emerges. The second is “storyteller” and this one is twofold… The first is how you approach your arrangements. I’ve really noticed with the ebb and flow, the push and pull, the dynamics, the chord progression build-ups - this isn’t just a song you’ve crafted, but a journey. You take us along on this emotional journey through builds and swells and breaks, keeping us on the edge of our seats, eager to see what comes next. The second is in your performance of the song. You aren’t just singing the words; we can see the story in your face as you sing. Your expression and posture are very dynamic, following the same ebb and flow of the arrangement. Not only that, but when the song is upbeat (e.g. Way Down), we can see the genuine joy and happiness on your face as you perform; you obviously had a lot of fun filming that one. (And if not, alternately, you are a brilliant actor.) With Ghost Riders, your face also shows the story, albeit a different story, of course, and each ghost rider has a slightly different story, as does the narrator. Picking one specific musical thing to appreciate in Ghost Riders, I’m choosing your wide range of unique instrumentation, my favourite of which is in the section starting at 0:41, where one instrument perfectly matches your own vocal timbre. 😍
Just found you and you are absolutely amazing! My gorgeous dad is 93 as of yesterday and has always loved songs from Westerns and country music guys. He is astounded at your range and we have listened to you for most of the morning and sang along.. Thankyou for the best birthday present I could have given him. We’ll be hearing your voice ringing through the house every day now. Much love Lynne (Northeast England] 💕🌈👏❤️
This is my 98 yo mother's favorite song. I will be taking this to her LTC facility for her to hear. We'll probably have to blast it loud as she is hard of hearing but I'm sure the rest of the facility won't mind. Even though she has dementia the smile on her face will tell me everything I need to know. This was wonderful Geoff. Loved your rendition and that deep bass was the topping on the cake. 🤠🥰
Music has a way of activating memory related parts of our brains. There's been so many examples of people playing music from a dementia/Alzheimer's patients youth, and the music invoking detailed memories from them. I think she'll love this and maybe you'll get a chance to see a hint of her younger self.
Lyrics An old cowboy went riding out One dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested As he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd Of red eyed cows he saw Plowin' through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire And their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny And their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him As they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders coming hard And he heard their mournful cry Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt Their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever On that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on, hear their cry As the riders loped on by him He heard one call his name 'If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range Then, cowboy, change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky
My Mom & I were so excited when you released the first Patron teaser for this, surprising us by giving us the song title. We talked about it frequently, speculating on what direction you'd take but always agreeing it would be incredible no matter what and always ending with how we couldn't wait to see it. Sadly, it didn't work out that way. Suddenly & so very unexpectedly, my amazing, Queen & Geoff loving Mom, my best friend ever, passed away just 2 weeks shy of her 81st birthday and 2 days before the Patron premiere. With a heavy heart and a box of tissues close at hand, I watched the premiere for both of us, but it turned out I didn't need the tissues and by the end of the video my heart was a tiny bit lighter. Your incredible talent, creativity and beautiful voice drew me in once again & soothed my aching heart & soul for those few precious minutes as it did again today and has every time I've listened. My husband was watching my screen during the Patron premiere but couldn't hear (of course I had headphones on) and I turned to him and said "Mom would have loved it". He nodded and said "This is going to be one of those that I wish was three times longer isn't it?". I nodded, handed him my headphones and hit replay. I thank you Geoff for all the many hours of enjoyment your music gave my Mom over the past couple of years. She would watch & listen every day. I remember teasing her last year because she was still watching Monster Mash in December. Her very favorite song though was Ain't No Sunshine, a heartbreakingly ironic choice for me right now since for me, there ain't no sunshine, cause she's gone.
This made me tear up. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I remember some of your mom's comments on Geoff's videos - she seems like she was an absolute sweetheart. Hope you're doing well.
I am so sorry for your loss. I also share all of Geoff's music with my mom, and I know that sharing these moments with her are some of my favorite times. Such a bittersweet moment of grief and healing. Hold on to those precious memories!
My Mum would also have been over the moon to hear this from Geoff but I had to listen for both of us and just know that she would have the biggest grin! I'm sorry for your loss and wish you the very best!
Geoff never ceases to amaze me, not only with his range, but with what seems like effortless execution of his entire range. It's phenomenal to listen to and to watch. I know Geoff puts in hours not only on his vocal work but the production of these classics, and once again he hits it out of the park. Thank you so much Geoff for blessing us with your talents!
I feel like I always sound like a broken record when trying to express how deeply excited and grateful I am for these covers. Every month's cover is usually my new favorite - but this has got to be one of my most anticipated covers. It was already one of my favorite songs (Johnny Cash's version), and I knew I wanted to hear Geoff's spin on it. This instantly became my favorite version of this song, and I think one of the top three favorite Geoff covers, right up there with Sixteen Tons and Big Bad John.
@@GeoffCastellucci From the first time I discovered you just a couple of months ago, I have wanted to hear you sing this. It was worth the wait. My husband was also impressed with your rendition. We both love this song. I love the fact you can sing such a wide range and your arrangements harmonizing with yourself. Your special effects when you do this are fantastic. I especially liked what you did in "Big Bad John" when all versions of you were together. It made quite an impression. I have also listened to you read the ghost/horror stories. You make Vincent Price proud. I think you bring so much to the Play group you sing with. So far my favorite with them was the Viking "My Mother Told Me". I look forward to seeing what you do next. Have you ever considered doing "A Christmas Carol"? I think you would be excellent. Hope you and your family are surviving the hurricane with minimal damage. God bless you all.
sounds like a villain looks like a hero flicks his hair like a Disney princess or miss Piggy I’m beginning to think there are no words to adequately describe this man ( and of course he is much much more than adequate!) ❤❤❤❤❤
I've got a deep-ass voice. Like, it gets comments about it and stuff. This dude dips below my lowest sustainable note like two whole steps or more, and is clear as a bell doing it. I am so impressed right now.
I used to be ashamed of singing at the bottom of my range, because I have a quite low voice for a girl, but you keep showing me that singing low can be beautiful, esthetic and just super cool🤍 (even though I am by far not as talented...🙈) Now, I appreciate my voice more; and I just wanted to say thank you!😊
I actually clapped when this song ended it was so well done. Your talent knows no bounds. Johnny Cash and Stan Jones (writer) would be proud to hear this. Well done.
So unreal that someone can sing that well, look that good while being ghostly and even whistle beautifully, is there anything you can't do? Some songs are meant to be sung by certain people and you were certainly made for Ghost Riders In The Sky.
He plays a pretty mean harmonica, too, ya know! Listen to his 4-part (4 Geoffs!) *"Folsom Prison Blues"* for a fine "taste" of his harmonica playing - _MMM-MMMM!_ 👍🤗
You always impress with your high's and low's and wide range. In this song it is the richness and resonance of your voice, in its midrange/chestvoice, that i find is most captivating. It seems to carry the song and music so effortlessly, that it feels like a treat each time i hear it. 🍂🧡🍂
I am so happy to be a patron!! I've been listening to this AMAZING ARRANGEMENT since the Patreon premier and since the mp3* dropped. And don't get me started on the BTS... so good! (* Be a patron => get the mp3, both of the full track and of a karaoke version!)
An old cowboy went riding out One dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested As he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd Of red eyed cows he saw Plowin' through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire And their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny And their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him As they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders coming hard And he heard their mournful cry Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt Their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever On that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on, hear their cry As the riders loped on by him He heard one call his name 'If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range Then, cowboy, change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky
Add one more verse. So he went back and told his friends. Guess what I saw today ? You guys had better to listen. To what I'm going to say. I saw them with my very own eyes. They really do exist. The Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Johnny Cash wasn't the original singer but his is the most known version. I have to think he'd be so proud of this remake. This was epic and so great with five Geoff's. I can see Johnny tipping his hat to this one
Who knew such a pleasant countenance could be turned into four creepy ghosts? Production value on this is excellent, along with the singing, of course. Well done!
This song will always be a favorite. My father and his brothers would sing this song at every bonfire in the most beautiful 4 part harmony. Thank you for doing it justice.
Oh thank you! My favorite old West song. I grew up on the songs of the West. My mother was born in 1925 and grew up in Arizona. So she had collections of western songs she played for us as we grew up in the East. She's long gone so thank you for giving me a visit from her.
My first time hearing this song was by Vaughn Monroe, yes I'm old, I've loved this song for years and have listened to countless covers through out the years. Marty Robins, Johnny Cash and various others. Geoff just made my day when I saw this, been waiting impatiently for this cover from him. Thank you for bringing back a lot of good memories. 😎😊
I started crying, this was a song I grew up listening to and my parents always played it on guitar and eventually I even learned it on guitar. Hearing it turned into not only a badass but honestly beautiful piece with all the harmonies I can't stop crying and smiling
This song has been very popular in our country (Czech republic) for many years. It has many cover versions and it is also played on guitar at campfires. This version is amazing, Geoff. Thank you very much. 🤩👍
One of my all-time favorite songs...and though it has been covered by some of the greatest singers throughout history, Geoff has once again proven he has the skills (both with production and vocal skill) to stand next to any of them. Excellent work, sir.
This is superb! I first heard this when Marty Robbins did it. This is far and away the best rendition I have yet heard. Marty would have beamed with pride at your version. The blending of all your alts, the videography, the lighting, the mixing....just a superior offering of your skill and gifts. Thank you Geoff. Glad to know you and your beautiful bride are okay. Stay safe, brother and sister, stay safe.
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" has been one of my favorite songs for 50 years, but this version is truly awesome! Very impressive voice range you have, Mr. Castelluci. I don't recall ever hearing any man who can sing such in at least four voices!
You are well known for you really low lows, but frankly, you are just as good at higher registers. Your range is rather insane. In this particular song, no note was a challenge for you.
A playlist of your songs helps me focus while driving, especially on the twisty Arizona back roads from my little town to the nearest city 70 miles away. I hit a big thunderstorm last night just as this song was coming on. What Perfect Timing! Lightning streaked and lit the valley for miles. Thunder and your low notes shook the car... I just turned up the volume and hit replay until I drove out of the storm. I wanted to share the Impact you have on everyday life in ways big and small. Your music is a gift and we, your fans are Grateful.❤️☺️
I've heard many singers across the planet sing this song and some were excellent. BUT I have to admit this is the one that I have enjoyed most of all the BASS singers his voice had depth, range and true emotion in his presentation;
Ok Geoff this has been one of those songs that I thought I was a Johny Cash original. I have always loved his voice for this song. You have taken that sound and made it even better. Your voice was meant for this song. The deep rumbleings of your voice could be used for thunder. This will probably be my favorite version of this song. Looking forward to your next masterpiece.
It is amazing how a song written in the late 1940's has been covered by many generations of artists! This is a great version by these young musicians!!
As a kid in the 1960's, I used to listen to Burl Ives version on an old 78rpm record! This guy is excellent, he modernises these great tracks but does so with respect for the original... well done!
I'd never heard this song before, so tonight I listened to the Johnny Cash version and _omg_ it was delightfully spooky and just *so cool.* Now I'm doubly excited to hear (and see!) Geoff's version of this classic!! I'm sure it will be my next download to put on my phone for future enjoyment! *Edited post-watching: **_EVEN BETTER_* and yes I'm putting it on my phone so my ears can be blessed with glory while on the go. xD
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole! It's a terrific place to explore, then hop on over to his a cappella group, VoicePlay, where he's the bass. They're amazing, too!
Welcome to the world of Geoff Castellucci fans! You should also check out VoicePlay, the a capella group he sings Bass with. I think you'll like them ❤
I have to be completely honest with you. I have never liked this song, but I figured I'd listen simply because I love your voice. Surprise, surprise, surprise! I actually like your version! I'm shocked, but happy. I always look forward to hearing your renditions of these old songs & you've never let me down. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all. God bless
I read once that ‘Ghost Riders’ was first released in 1948; that was also the year of my birth... So, I am 75 years old (and so is this song)... This ‘cover’ (?) is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Thanks... 😊
The song is actually based upon Norse mythology it's truly about the wild hunt led by the all father Othin brought here by Scandinavian settlers and is pretty old
Goeff i have to say of all the songs i have listened to that you have done solo; i am drawn this one the most. I really like what you have done with a favorite. I love the arrangement. This is my absolute favorite that you have done.
This may be my favorite Geoff Castellucci single. Outstanding job with literally everything. All of the Geoff ghost riders are right-handed except for Geoff Brown-Pants. His gun is slung for a lefty. Very cool vest harness on Geoff Clean-Face, and I love how Geoff Duster shows his pistol while Geoff Brown-Pants touches the brim of his hat at the end of the song. Very cool touches to detail. And it needs mentioning how cool Geoff Black is with his warning solo in the end. Very nice job, fellas!
Geoff, your upper register is so clean, smooth, and seemingly effortless. And then a seamless cascade to the chasm of your low end makes virtually everything you sing stand out!
Geoff, very clever and well done! I've always loved the melody and lyrics of this old cowboy song, starting with the "Sons of the Pioneers", "Frankie Laine", "Marty Robbins", "Johnny Cash", and many others. This is the first time hearing this version and I don't tire coming back to it and watching it again. The vocal harmonies are awesome, and the ghostly cowboys are really fascinating to look at, with their cowboy clothing/mannerisms/bushy moustaches and beards, ghostly pale complexions and especially their eerie cool pale blue looking eyes. It's no wonder it has over 7.5M views. Many others obviously love it too.
Geoff, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. You're also a favorite singer among the many I listen to and I appreciate your work so much. You can cover a song people are so sure no one could cover right and you prove them wrong. You keep true to the original, yet add your own personality and jest to it and I just love it. This cover was brilliant and I will definitely be sharing this with friends and family. You have no idea how much I needed this today. Hope you and the fam are doing well after the hurricane.
If you had asked me before I listened to this if "yippie ai oh, yippie ai ay" could sound majestic, I would have said of course not. I've never been so happy to be wrong. Truly masterful work, I look forward to the next installment in the saga of Castellucci
Geoff, you and your 4 "brothers" have the best harmony I have ever heard. Some of the stuff you sing, when performed by the original artist just gag me. Thank you (and the "family") for widening my musical horizons (I really do know that you're not Quintuplets, but DANG!!).
The first thing I thought on hearing Geoff's Sixteen Tons was that I'd love to hear him sing Ghost Riders In The Sky. I was so right! Thank you Geoff, this is a marvelous rendition. Thank you sir!
WOW, chills and a couple tears dropped from this old man! This song has been a favorite of mine since I was a wee lad and have heard them all. Young man you have eclipsed all previous versions in my opinion, well done Sir, well done!
In a band or on his own, Geoff is Geoff: his voice is so complex and rich; it's hypnotic, it's impossible to resist him, and I am probably writing this comment in a hypnotized state!
The costume choices for the "ghosts" really spot on. The greying of the skin to make them look ghostly really does make them look truly spooky that and the fact that they are transparent. I think that having the noticeable changes to each face and costume made them very believable as a standalone character even if it was all the same singer. Dang though for him to go through all the changes and still keep pace with himself that's one heck of a feat.
I love this song, it reminds me of my uncle who enjoyed Westerns and country music and introduced me to it. Wish he were around to listen with me! Country and western is where so many bass singers can excel and succeed, even though it isn't usually my favorite genre. Geoff as usual has shared with us a cover that does the song justice, and equals or exceeds all the other renditions (in my opinion)! I'm confident there is ghostly applause echoing from my Uncle George and other country fans in Elysium!
There's something about you and another cover artist(Skar Productions), which I absolutely love. You both add your own twist, sure, but you always manage to keep the core spirit of the song intact. And it's awesome
Geoff, you're a musical genius! Absolutely awesome! Your best video yet! I've listened to this a thousand times - and can always hear something I didn't hear before! You should go on tour and bring all of the other Geoff's with you! (Because you can never have to many Geoff's) Thank you, Mr. Castellucci so much for sharing your voice with us! This was absolutely fabulous!
Ok this is pretty much a masterpiece. He outdoes himself every arrangement/video. I don’t know what he has planned next but if it’s anywhere near this, oh man we better watch out.

As someone who has listened to the Johnny Cash cover of this song many a time, I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this! I loved what you did with the arrangement, and Rick did such an amazing job on the Geoffettes’ makeup and beard styling. Also, I’m glad we’ve finally confirmed the fourth Geoffette’s name is Daryl. Howdy, Daryl!
How do you know this information?
@@leeholman3964 The information about Daryl? It’s in the video description.

I thought these were brothers or something. Amazing job with the make-up!
Witch one eats Cheerios for breakfast?
@@jackwells8107 Not brothers, just bums he found holding sines that read "will work for food."
I thought this as well - not to mention the editing and syncing of all the performances. Maximum effort :)
I noticed #3 right off. Probably comes from many years of trying to find a decent left-handed holster.
Hey Geoff, last week I chose you for my presentation in english class and it was amazing! The teacher loved it and was completely flabbergasted when I started talking about subharmonics and all that 😂 and I even made her check you and Voiceplay out!!
I'm very very much looking forward to this song, much love from France ❤️
I WAS A SCHOOL PROJECT!? I'm honored.

I absolutely how Geoff doesn’t let being in an Acapella group prevent him from exploring his own passions and hobbies when it comes to music. Getting solo and group content from one of the best basses in Acapella history that’s quality is total gravy
Not to mention how great the group is too!!! It's always such a pleasure and awe-inspiring
Nothing is gonna stop him from getting dressed up in costumes and singing amazing songs.
You absolutely how?
It’s not an actual group. He’s singing all the parts individually and thru the magic of video editing it looks like a group. Takes a lot of skill and patience to create this.
Yeah I’m glad he’s able to do both, unlike when avi left Ptx because he felt like he couldn’t do both

He was a bass???
My uncle would sing this for me when I was little. Loved his bass voice. I wish I had recorded him when I got older. He has been gone for 10 years now
So if you put this video on loop your gramps will be permanently revived?
That's a Lovely story!❤️
I've always admired rock singers who could nail unbelievably high notes but it ain't easy to go so low, either. Mad respect.

@@GeoffCastellucci it was quite different from the original by Mr. Cash. And I enjoyed it very much. Your work continues to be astounding on another level not known to man nor beast.
Geoff absolutely hits it out of the park with costuming and acting alone, let alone singing. Blows my mind every time
Geoff, Jeff, Daryl, Jeoph, Goff - This is ASTONISHING. Thank you so, SO much! I love the storytelling in this, too. Also, a HUGE thank you to Eli for the backgrounds and lighting, to Rick for the make-up, to Kathy, and to everyone involved! Thank you! This is a masterpiece...!
Also, so glad you've made it through the hurricane!
Daryl, LMAO
This is the absolute definition of quality over quantity. You don’t post many new songs, but when you do we get absolute jaw dropping masterpieces like this. Phenomenal.
Geoff. Whoa. Just whoa. This is absolutely astounding. I am continually amazed at your ability to (1) arrange these songs I know very well into versions that stay true to their original spirit, yet are oh so *you,* and (2) create visuals for these songs that so clearly tell a story and are incredibly memorable to boot.
I love that you chose to have the narrator as well as the ghost riders represented in the video. The transparency effect applied to the ghost riders is just so *COOL.* I just adore the creepiness of them. Kudos to Rick for the looks and to you for imbuing them with such distinctly different personalities.
Thank you for continuing to let me ride on this crazy train of yours. 🤠
“Just whoa”? This song had several “whoas”! 😉
I couldn't have said it better! But, wait, he also did all the parts in this!?? Each part is such a distinct character, not to mention the range! I am in awe!!! 💜🌌
@@erinmcdonald7781 Yes, indeed, all five individuals in this video are Geoff. He sings all the parts and plays all the characters.
@@Debs_Badger Amazing!!! I'll a add a WoW to the whoas! 💜🍀
Geoff is not just a great singer but amazing producer and musical arranger. Well done!
We have to thank his wife Kathy for her support and a lot of the work behind the scenes. ❤
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! I'm gonna die! I almost choked on my bite of dinnerwhen I saw this. 13 hours until premiere.
This... this song. Oh gods, you guys. My father used to play guitar and sing it from my very first memories. It's one that ALWAYS brings back the absolute best memories I have of my father. And I'm going to get to hear Geoff do it in that voice that makes me feel like everything is right with the world.
I'm already crying and I haven't even heard it yet.
he totally nailed this song, it's amazing!
@@huldradraco He really did ❤
Breathe.......
@@GeoffCastellucci 😂
My Dad had a quadriphonic sound system and had a tape of this. You could lay in the center of his bed and hear the cows and horses ride right over top of you. That was the only thing missing .
There are so many different versions of this song already out there I wasn't sure what more could be done with it, but I enjoyed this version so much it immediately became my new favorite! Jeoph wins best clone award from me, love that outfit, though I considered voting for the lefty just because I thought it was such a nice touch to include (and note even took his hat off left-handed!) Also, the little tidbits in the description under the video are amusing. Speaking of which, as for patreon supporters, ride on down and git yerself signed up if you haven't already... everybody's doing it. ;) And don't worry, the rest of us patrons are only as weird as the folks we support...
So who is who lol? I mean Goff jeoph Jeff and Daryl. Or is this just a joke
Not a joke. That's their names
Daryl is my favorite with Jeff being close second.
I just exploded with joy. I love it.
I will probably watch it a couple dozen times today.
@@theredalpha7290 Goff is the lefty, Jeoph is the 'sherrif-y' looking one with just the mustache, Jeff is the plain shaven one, and dear Daryl is the brown coat with the glorious full beard. Geoff is, of course, the narrator.
Two words popped into my head as I was listening to some of your other songs recently, Geoff, and this song just cements that idea.
The first is “sculptor.” You take a rather repetitive song and step back to examine it. You take it into your hands and work it, mould it, chisel away pieces here and add contours there, until a masterful work of art emerges.
The second is “storyteller” and this one is twofold…
The first is how you approach your arrangements. I’ve really noticed with the ebb and flow, the push and pull, the dynamics, the chord progression build-ups - this isn’t just a song you’ve crafted, but a journey. You take us along on this emotional journey through builds and swells and breaks, keeping us on the edge of our seats, eager to see what comes next.
The second is in your performance of the song. You aren’t just singing the words; we can see the story in your face as you sing. Your expression and posture are very dynamic, following the same ebb and flow of the arrangement. Not only that, but when the song is upbeat (e.g. Way Down), we can see the genuine joy and happiness on your face as you perform; you obviously had a lot of fun filming that one. (And if not, alternately, you are a brilliant actor.) With Ghost Riders, your face also shows the story, albeit a different story, of course, and each ghost rider has a slightly different story, as does the narrator.
Picking one specific musical thing to appreciate in Ghost Riders, I’m choosing your wide range of unique instrumentation, my favourite of which is in the section starting at 0:41, where one instrument perfectly matches your own vocal timbre. 😍
misty mountains cold was his best in terms of costumes, he really gets into how re-create the characters in his own unique way,
Well said! Perfect description of what he does with his music. I can't help but think "sculptor" and "storyteller" from now on☺️❤️
Just found you and you are absolutely amazing! My gorgeous dad is 93 as of yesterday and has always loved songs from Westerns and country music guys. He is astounded at your range and we have listened to you for most of the morning and sang along.. Thankyou for the best birthday present I could have given him. We’ll be hearing your voice ringing through the house every day now. Much love Lynne (Northeast England] 💕🌈👏❤️
🎉🎉😢😢🎉🎉😂😅
A Beautiful Tribute!❤❤❤❤
I would very much like to hear him do Marty Robins' "Big Iron". This fella has one of the best voices & musical ranges that I've ever heard.
Me too
Oh my Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my. Now that you say that. Yes, me too.
While at it, A bunch of music from Fallout...
or Till the last shot Fire by Trace Adkins
And "Ringo" from Lorne Greene
This is my 98 yo mother's favorite song. I will be taking this to her LTC facility for her to hear. We'll probably have to blast it loud as she is hard of hearing but I'm sure the rest of the facility won't mind. Even though she has dementia the smile on her face will tell me everything I need to know. This was wonderful Geoff. Loved your rendition and that deep bass was the topping on the cake. 🤠🥰
Take along a little love for her from another fan of this song, in all its variations. =^[.]^=
Music has a way of activating memory related parts of our brains. There's been so many examples of people playing music from a dementia/Alzheimer's patients youth, and the music invoking detailed memories from them.
I think she'll love this and maybe you'll get a chance to see a hint of her younger self.
What a wonderful Gift of a Happy memory with your Mom! ☺️🌹Thanks for sharing another example of the Kindness of the Castellucci/VoicePlay fans!❤️

Lyrics
An old cowboy went riding out
One dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested
As he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire
And their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny
And their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
As they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever
On that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on, hear their cry
As the riders loped on by him
He heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul
From hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy, change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Thanks!!
*Ditto!*
Thanks

Un controllo della voce quasi inumano. Come ci riesce resterà sempre un mistero per me.
My Mom & I were so excited when you released the first Patron teaser for this, surprising us by giving us the song title. We talked about it frequently, speculating on what direction you'd take but always agreeing it would be incredible no matter what and always ending with how we couldn't wait to see it. Sadly, it didn't work out that way. Suddenly & so very unexpectedly, my amazing, Queen & Geoff loving Mom, my best friend ever, passed away just 2 weeks shy of her 81st birthday and 2 days before the Patron premiere. With a heavy heart and a box of tissues close at hand, I watched the premiere for both of us, but it turned out I didn't need the tissues and by the end of the video my heart was a tiny bit lighter. Your incredible talent, creativity and beautiful voice drew me in once again & soothed my aching heart & soul for those few precious minutes as it did again today and has every time I've listened. My husband was watching my screen during the Patron premiere but couldn't hear (of course I had headphones on) and I turned to him and said "Mom would have loved it". He nodded and said "This is going to be one of those that I wish was three times longer isn't it?". I nodded, handed him my headphones and hit replay. I thank you Geoff for all the many hours of enjoyment your music gave my Mom over the past couple of years. She would watch & listen every day. I remember teasing her last year because she was still watching Monster Mash in December. Her very favorite song though was Ain't No Sunshine, a heartbreakingly ironic choice for me right now since for me, there ain't no sunshine, cause she's gone.
I am so so sorry for your loss.
This made me tear up. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I remember some of your mom's comments on Geoff's videos - she seems like she was an absolute sweetheart. Hope you're doing well.
I am so sorry for your loss. I also share all of Geoff's music with my mom, and I know that sharing these moments with her are some of my favorite times. Such a bittersweet moment of grief and healing. Hold on to those precious memories!
My Mum would also have been over the moon to hear this from Geoff but I had to listen for both of us and just know that she would have the biggest grin! I'm sorry for your loss and wish you the very best!
@@tonifinley4872 Thank you so much.
Geoff never ceases to amaze me, not only with his range, but with what seems like effortless execution of his entire range. It's phenomenal to listen to and to watch. I know Geoff puts in hours not only on his vocal work but the production of these classics, and once again he hits it out of the park. Thank you so much Geoff for blessing us with your talents!
I discovered Voiceplay and Geoff 6 days ago and now I can not get enough of their music. Amazing.
I agree!
Never heard this song sung like this! And i have heard it most of my life 79 years old.
❤
I feel like I always sound like a broken record when trying to express how deeply excited and grateful I am for these covers. Every month's cover is usually my new favorite - but this has got to be one of my most anticipated covers. It was already one of my favorite songs (Johnny Cash's version), and I knew I wanted to hear Geoff's spin on it. This instantly became my favorite version of this song, and I think one of the top three favorite Geoff covers, right up there with Sixteen Tons and Big Bad John.
Fantastic! I think we can all agree that Geoff owns Halloween? He's the master at picking songs and arrangements perfect for the holiday.
Amen to that!!!
HI PRAISE! Thank you!
@@GeoffCastellucci Day made, and you are welcome.
absolutely.. Halloween isn't Halloween without Geoff on youtube.
@@GeoffCastellucci From the first time I discovered you just a couple of months ago, I have wanted to hear you sing this. It was worth the wait. My husband was also impressed with your rendition. We both love this song.
I love the fact you can sing such a wide range and your arrangements harmonizing with yourself. Your special effects when you do this are fantastic. I especially liked what you did in "Big Bad John" when all versions of you were together. It made quite an impression.
I have also listened to you read the ghost/horror stories. You make Vincent Price proud.
I think you bring so much to the Play group you sing with. So far my favorite with them was the Viking "My Mother Told Me".
I look forward to seeing what you do next. Have you ever considered doing "A Christmas Carol"? I think you would be excellent.
Hope you and your family are surviving the hurricane with minimal damage. God bless you all.
Geoff has to be the villain in a movie someday.... Only problem is he's too likeable
sounds like a villain looks like a hero flicks his hair like a Disney princess or miss Piggy I’m beginning to think there are no words to adequately describe this man ( and of course he is much much more than adequate!) ❤❤❤❤❤
Which means he needs to be an antihero! Solve all the problems
And too good looking.... just saying! 😊
There's nothing wrong with an occasional likable villain lol
Who says a villain can't be likeable? That happens all the time throughout human history. The 😎
First recorded by Stan Jones and The Death Valley Rangers in 1948. A classic. As always, a phenomenal job by Geoff!
I've got a deep-ass voice. Like, it gets comments about it and stuff.
This dude dips below my lowest sustainable note like two whole steps or more, and is clear as a bell doing it.
I am so impressed right now.
I totally agree. I've got a fairly deep Baritone/Bass voice, but this guy is amazing.🙃
I used to be ashamed of singing at the bottom of my range, because I have a quite low voice for a girl, but you keep showing me that singing low can be beautiful, esthetic and just super cool🤍 (even though I am by far not as talented...🙈) Now, I appreciate my voice more; and I just wanted to say thank you!😊
Same, I have so many cover plans for this month, and it's such a delight to find other altos, contraltos, etc!
I love hearing women with deep voices sing
What an incredible voice. He sang all five parts.
Incredible! ❤
@@dianadoltu3627
yes it's incredible ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He's got an amazing range! I still say he's Mariah Carey's opposite.
I actually clapped when this song ended it was so well done. Your talent knows no bounds. Johnny Cash and Stan Jones (writer) would be proud to hear this. Well done.
Vaughn Monroe ...l
So unreal that someone can sing that well, look that good while being ghostly and even whistle beautifully, is there anything you can't do? Some songs are meant to be sung by certain people and you were certainly made for Ghost Riders In The Sky.
He plays a pretty mean harmonica, too, ya know! Listen to his 4-part (4 Geoffs!) *"Folsom Prison Blues"* for a fine "taste" of his harmonica playing - _MMM-MMMM!_ 👍🤗
Yes and he plays the piano also, as I said what can't he do? The Folsom Prison Blues was another made for his voice. @@dixietenbroeck8717
@@dixietenbroeck8717 At the end of the FPB video, there are 7 (SEVEN Geoffs). The more the better when it comes to him.
You always impress with your high's and low's and wide range.
In this song it is the richness and resonance of your voice, in its midrange/chestvoice, that i find is most captivating.
It seems to carry the song and music so effortlessly, that it feels like a treat each time i hear it.
🍂🧡🍂
I have heard it before , but I never cease to be ASTONISHED by your Vocal RANGE .
I am so happy to be a patron!! I've been listening to this AMAZING ARRANGEMENT since the Patreon premier and since the mp3* dropped. And don't get me started on the BTS... so good! (* Be a patron => get the mp3, both of the full track and of a karaoke version!)

Sounds like the old cowboy was chewing peyote.
Add one more verse. So he went back and told his friends. Guess what I saw today ? You guys had better to listen. To what I'm going to say. I saw them with my very own eyes. They really do exist. The Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Well worth the wait. Awesome video. His clones look like deranged serial killers. I must have seen it over 100 times already.
Trying to catch the devil's herd is supposed to be their punishment, so very appropriate that they look the part.
Well, how else are damned souls who is cursed to hopelessly try and catch the devil’s herd for all eternity as punishment supposed to look like?
Well,if they are, serial killers. It must be during the time of the old west
His voice is a modern and classic mix I love it
You can cover The Man in Black anyday, this was so well done. Keep them coming Geoff, this is gonna be on repeat all day.
Or he will dress all in black even his makeup to sang that, making more darker and sinister like psychic reader setting.
❤
Johnny Cash wasn't the original singer but his is the most known version. I have to think he'd be so proud of this remake. This was epic and so great with five Geoff's. I can see Johnny tipping his hat to this one
Who knew such a pleasant countenance could be turned into four creepy ghosts? Production value on this is excellent, along with the singing, of course. Well done!
This song will always be a favorite. My father and his brothers would sing this song at every bonfire in the most beautiful 4 part harmony. Thank you for doing it justice.
Can’t wait for everyone to see this. It’s going to be a big hit.
It's SO FRICKIN GOOD!!! been singing and humming this every day since we saw it on Patreon. Geoff outdid himself once again! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Got it FIRMLY stuck in my head as well!
Oh thank you! My favorite old West song. I grew up on the songs of the West. My mother was born in 1925 and grew up in Arizona. So she had collections of western songs she played for us as we grew up in the East. She's long gone so thank you for giving me a visit from her.
❤️
I have always loved this song, this is an amazing version. Love the multiple Geoffs, the costumes and video graphics are fantastic.
I swear Geoff is just an alchemist of sounds and his magic is so strong his appearance follows it
My first time hearing this song was by Vaughn Monroe, yes I'm old, I've loved this song for years and have listened to countless covers through out the years. Marty Robins, Johnny Cash and various others. Geoff just made my day when I saw this, been waiting impatiently for this cover from him. Thank you for bringing back a lot of good memories. 😎😊
I started crying, this was a song I grew up listening to and my parents always played it on guitar and eventually I even learned it on guitar. Hearing it turned into not only a badass but honestly beautiful piece with all the harmonies I can't stop crying and smiling
This song has been very popular in our country (Czech republic) for many years. It has many cover versions and it is also played on guitar at campfires. This version is amazing, Geoff. Thank you very much. 🤩👍
The only singer who can make "yippy-yi-oh, yippy-yi-ay" sound good
Trust me, i struggled with it. BUT THANK YOU!
@@GeoffCastellucci : higher register that you struggle for that, sounds flawless.
@@GeoffCastellucci❤🎉
I concur
Did you forget the original man in black?
Geoff is great but got nothing on Cash.
One of my all-time favorite songs...and though it has been covered by some of the greatest singers throughout history, Geoff has once again proven he has the skills (both with production and vocal skill) to stand next to any of them.
Excellent work, sir.
This is superb! I first heard this when Marty Robbins did it. This is far and away the best rendition I have yet heard. Marty would have beamed with pride at your version. The blending of all your alts, the videography, the lighting, the mixing....just a superior offering of your skill and gifts. Thank you Geoff. Glad to know you and your beautiful bride are okay. Stay safe, brother and sister, stay safe.
I think the first version of this that I heard was Johnny Cash....My dad was a Johnny fan....
Of all the clips I have seen on TH-cam, this is my favourite. Watch it every day
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" has been one of my favorite songs for 50 years, but this version is truly awesome!
Very impressive voice range you have, Mr. Castelluci. I don't recall ever hearing any man who can sing such in at least four voices!
You are well known for you really low lows, but frankly, you are just as good at higher registers. Your range is rather insane. In this particular song, no note was a challenge for you.
A playlist of your songs helps me focus while driving, especially on the twisty Arizona back roads from my little town to the nearest city 70 miles away. I hit a big thunderstorm last night just as this song was coming on. What Perfect Timing! Lightning streaked and lit the valley for miles. Thunder and your low notes shook the car...
I just turned up the volume and hit replay until I drove out of the storm.
I wanted to share the Impact you have on everyday life in ways big and small. Your music is a gift and we, your fans are Grateful.❤️☺️
I've heard many singers across the planet sing this song and some were excellent.
BUT I have to admit this is the one that I have enjoyed most of all the BASS singers
his voice had depth, range and true emotion in his presentation;
As a bass , this makes me so happy to see this covered this way.. those chest fry and strong notes are so pristine
Ok Geoff this has been one of those songs that I thought I was a Johny Cash original. I have always loved his voice for this song. You have taken that sound and made it even better. Your voice was meant for this song. The deep rumbleings of your voice could be used for thunder. This will probably be my favorite version of this song. Looking forward to your next masterpiece.
It is amazing how a song written in the late 1940's has been covered by many generations of artists! This is a great version by these young musicians!!
It's one musician!
As a kid in the 1960's, I used to listen to Burl Ives version on an old 78rpm record! This guy is excellent, he modernises these great tracks but does so with respect for the original... well done!
I wish my Dad were still here to hear this guy. He always loved a bass, and this guy is bass on steroids.
Oh my God, when I hear this voice, something strange comes over me. The power of this voice reminds me of the power of nature
I'd never heard this song before, so tonight I listened to the Johnny Cash version and _omg_ it was delightfully spooky and just *so cool.* Now I'm doubly excited to hear (and see!) Geoff's version of this classic!! I'm sure it will be my next download to put on my phone for future enjoyment!
*Edited post-watching: **_EVEN BETTER_* and yes I'm putting it on my phone so my ears can be blessed with glory while on the go. xD
Check out Vaughan Monroe’s version!
Omg. I’ve never heard of this guy but I’m blown away. I can’t believe a human can sing so low. Amazing!
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole! It's a terrific place to explore, then hop on over to his a cappella group, VoicePlay, where he's the bass. They're amazing, too!
th-cam.com/video/gQWY-JOhF2I/w-d-xo.html I thought it was the same at first😅
@waltonriggs6862 okay thanks . I think that's good too, but I think Steam Powered Giraffe was the first to make this type of music
There are so many versions of Riders, with or without lyrics; all of them are haunting and simply inspirational. Your voice Sir is awesome!
Okay, so just found this guy. Watched a bunch before i realized its one guy. Man what a voice.
Welcome to the world of Geoff Castellucci fans! You should also check out VoicePlay, the
a capella group he sings Bass with. I think you'll like them ❤
I have to be completely honest with you. I have never liked this song, but I figured I'd listen simply because I love your voice. Surprise, surprise, surprise! I actually like your version! I'm shocked, but happy. I always look forward to hearing your renditions of these old songs & you've never let me down. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all. God bless
I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?
I read once that ‘Ghost Riders’ was first released in 1948; that was also the year of my birth... So, I am 75 years old (and so is this song)... This ‘cover’ (?) is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Thanks... 😊
The song is actually based upon Norse mythology it's truly about the wild hunt led by the all father Othin brought here by Scandinavian settlers and is pretty old
@@HelenFlatt-vi1bu Neat history, thanks!
Goeff i have to say of all the songs i have listened to that you have done solo; i am drawn this one the most. I really like what you have done with a favorite. I love the arrangement. This is my absolute favorite that you have done.
This may be my favorite Geoff Castellucci single. Outstanding job with literally everything. All of the Geoff ghost riders are right-handed except for Geoff Brown-Pants. His gun is slung for a lefty. Very cool vest harness on Geoff Clean-Face, and I love how Geoff Duster shows his pistol while Geoff Brown-Pants touches the brim of his hat at the end of the song. Very cool touches to detail. And it needs mentioning how cool Geoff Black is with his warning solo in the end. Very nice job, fellas!
I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?
Geoff, your upper register is so clean, smooth, and seemingly effortless. And then a seamless cascade to the chasm of your low end makes virtually everything you sing stand out!
That was so awesome! As someone who grew up listening to Johnny Cash, you certainly did his memory proud today! Thank you so much for this! Blessings!
Geoff, very clever and well done! I've always loved the melody and lyrics of this old cowboy song, starting with the "Sons of the Pioneers", "Frankie Laine", "Marty Robbins", "Johnny Cash", and many others. This is the first time hearing this version and I don't tire coming back to it and watching it again. The vocal harmonies are awesome, and the ghostly cowboys are really fascinating to look at, with their cowboy clothing/mannerisms/bushy moustaches and beards, ghostly pale complexions and especially their eerie cool pale blue looking eyes. It's no wonder it has over 7.5M views. Many others obviously love it too.
What's better than 1 Geoff singing with his hands? 5 Geoffs singing with their hands! Great cover of a great song and so unmistakably him. 💓
Geoff, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. You're also a favorite singer among the many I listen to and I appreciate your work so much. You can cover a song people are so sure no one could cover right and you prove them wrong. You keep true to the original, yet add your own personality and jest to it and I just love it. This cover was brilliant and I will definitely be sharing this with friends and family. You have no idea how much I needed this today. Hope you and the fam are doing well after the hurricane.
Well said! ❤️
As one Bass to another brother, I bow down to the younger generation. You are fantabulous!
Loved this arrangement.
Good lord man! Your voice is incredible! I just found you today, you have a new fan!
That was magnificent, beautiful, I'm sure Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash would overwhelmingly impressed
If you had asked me before I listened to this if "yippie ai oh, yippie ai ay" could sound majestic, I would have said of course not. I've never been so happy to be wrong. Truly masterful work, I look forward to the next installment in the saga of Castellucci
One of my favorite western tunes... man am I looking forward to this.
Geoff, you and your 4 "brothers" have the best harmony I have ever heard. Some of the stuff you sing, when performed by the original artist just gag me. Thank you (and the "family") for widening my musical horizons (I really do know that you're not Quintuplets, but DANG!!).
The first thing I thought on hearing Geoff's Sixteen Tons was that I'd love to hear him sing Ghost Riders In The Sky. I was so right! Thank you Geoff, this is a marvelous rendition. Thank you sir!
WOW, chills and a couple tears dropped from this old man! This song has been a favorite of mine since I was a wee lad and have heard them all. Young man you have eclipsed all previous versions in my opinion, well done Sir, well done!
Yup.
Yes, best version ever and terrific video too.
Rare for someone to produce a better rendition than Johnny Cash. Absolutely fantastic!
It's not better. It's different.
No one can outdo Johnny on one of his songs, this definitely isn’t better it’s just different
What an astonishing range! That is truly impressive.
In a band or on his own, Geoff is Geoff: his voice is so complex and rich; it's hypnotic, it's impossible to resist him, and I am probably writing this comment in a hypnotized state!
Almost like a certain phantom, perhaps?
Ok, now I can't get that out of my head. Geoff, do Phantom of the Opera please!!
@@RoseBaggins : we want The music of the Night
The costume choices for the "ghosts" really spot on. The greying of the skin to make them look ghostly really does make them look truly spooky that and the fact that they are transparent. I think that having the noticeable changes to each face and costume made them very believable as a standalone character even if it was all the same singer. Dang though for him to go through all the changes and still keep pace with himself that's one heck of a feat.
I love this song, it reminds me of my uncle who enjoyed Westerns and country music and introduced me to it. Wish he were around to listen with me! Country and western is where so many bass singers can excel and succeed, even though it isn't usually my favorite genre. Geoff as usual has shared with us a cover that does the song justice, and equals or exceeds all the other renditions (in my opinion)! I'm confident there is ghostly applause echoing from my Uncle George and other country fans in Elysium!
I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?
Hi what country you form
This is what I play loudly when there is a thunderstorm, My dog is terrified of thunder but with this playing she is fine. Great job!
There's something about you and another cover artist(Skar Productions), which I absolutely love. You both add your own twist, sure, but you always manage to keep the core spirit of the song intact. And it's awesome
Geoff, you're a musical genius! Absolutely awesome! Your best video yet! I've listened to this a thousand times - and can always hear something I didn't hear before! You should go on tour and bring all of the other Geoff's with you! (Because you can never have to many Geoff's) Thank you, Mr. Castellucci so much for sharing your voice with us! This was absolutely fabulous!
Ok this is pretty much a masterpiece. He outdoes himself every arrangement/video. I don’t know what he has planned next but if it’s anywhere near this, oh man we better watch out.
Love how they all reach for their guns at the word "fire"! :) Great filmography!!
I love that the way the flow has some breaks and at points elongated gives a sense of unease perfect for the song
