A SPACE Shanty?? I Love It!! | Sleeping in the Cold Below - VoicePlay | Acapella Reaction/Analysis 

BTW, they are not using a greenscreen for this. I asked a friend who is in the field to take a look at this video, and she informed me that they are LED tiles. Instead of the visuals being edited in afterwards, it's more akin to them standing on a bunch of linked computer monitors. In a few moments throughout the video you can catch the seams between the tiles, particularly near Omar's feet. Biscuits with sausage gravy.

Geoff: "Below? Why yes, I can!" (Sorry to all who are sick of me making this joke!)

Tenno here (What the players are called). Warframe has some of best music I've heard in games in awhile. Warframe is this weird mix of space piracy, espionage, super soldier gameplay. The lore can be a bit complicated, but to simplify it as best I can, we're a bunch of kids who got corrupted by the Void while traveling to other solar systems. To help us cope with the insanity brought on by these new powers the Void corrupted us with, our minds were connected to a battle suit called a Warframe. After the empire we once served fell, we're now left to our own devices. We might make allies with an enemy faction, we might raid their ships for supplies or intelligence, or we might just settle down for some fishing, but no matter what we do, it's all about survival in a solar system that has been ravaged by conflicts of multiple factions vying for control. In game, Sleeping in the Cold Below tells the tale of a Corpus inventor and merchant named Parvos Granum. The Corpus are a people filled of greed, worshiping money, and Parvos Granum is no exception. Unlike the basic Corpus, he is cold, calculating, and ruthless should you fail him. Parvos Granum was betrayed by his people, stripped of his position among the Corpus, and assassins sent after him. After a millennia hidden within a sanctuary of his own making, he's back and he wants revenge. He now has not only the money to do so, but with powers to match. If you ever want to continue your journey into the music of Warframe, We all lift together, and For Narmer are really great as well. These songs are like mirrors of each other, one of hope, the other of despair.

chocolate almond butter oatmeal crumble (Also: Layne grinning at *that* moment just proves he's an alien; those background visuals are actually his home movies 😉🌌👽)

Definitely a space shanty! They are shipping out on a spaceship, and my sci-fi books always have some sort of Cryosleep for the extended travel. Someone said that the studio they rented was using a huge 4K LED screen. If I win the lottery I'll send one to Pattycake. A Dutch baby with Lingonberry jam. If you need the recipe let me know where to send it.

Space bards - of course!!! 😉 (Watch out - it gets STUCK in your head!) (PS: Wait... cereal?!)

Pancakes with bacon. I love this one, its a major earworm and they filmed it using a huge LED screen. I love Eli face on the outro trying to suss out the mask and the contacts really add to the space feel.

13:13 that's my favourite part of the song. Them harmonizing like that with Geoff saying "we all bow down" part I think is so cool. I'm not 100% sure on why I like it so much. I think it's partly to do with the reversing of rolls with the harmonizing as the lead part and the singing as the backup. Plus Layne staying with Geoff. Its like playing two songs at once with Layne and Geoff as one song and the other 3 as a different song. I can only describe it as two different directions going the same same way.

Pleasure watching you break to this. Absolutely perfect, Mason you are 100% the MVP here. also.... Full English ;)

That slide to highest note at the end the Omar, Eli and Cesar did reminded me of their Dream On one.

French toast! Also I love the contrary motion throughout this arrangement! It’s a repetitive song so the motion keeps you engaged for the whole thing 😊

The behind the scenes on this one is almost as entertaining as this cover itself 😂❤

Sea Shanty is likely, One of the writers of the original Song is Alan Doyle who is a folk-rock artist from Newfoundland. I became familiar with him through the Group Great Big Sea. They had a fair number of sea shanty like songs and other Traditional folk music from Newfoundland and the Maritime provinces.

I absolutely love this one by Voiceplay. Omar adds so much to it. It is just soooo good. Eargasms galore. Thanks for reacting to this one Mortius

Imagine, you're flying a spaceship, and you're finding a ghost ship that wants you to pilot it into a final battle. In this battle, this song plays while you fight!

The space shanty we didn't know we needed! I love those harmonies and shout out to Mason for the info on them! Awesome reaction! French toast! ❤

Beware! This is the new ear worm sea shanty! ❤. Another great reaction. Thank you. 😊

The basic melody is a shanty called Fire Marengo. It’s a shanty sung while compressing cotton into the holds of ships with a giant jack screw. It’s also used in a sugar stowing shanty.

Knew your reaction to this would be 🔥 Totally agree with you that they’ve launched a song I’d never heard before into my favorites list.

The classic reaction by mortius and analysis by Mason

Love the Mason interactions! Also waffles.

Eggs Benedict!! FYI, Mortius - the wall/floor are 4K LED screens, similar to the place they filmed 'Valhalla Calling' in...! 😁

Space Shanty...Perfect! This should be fun. I hope Mortius got his melatonin in today.

That thing you feel is your brain leaking from your ears. VP has officially melted it. Between Eli's highs, Geoff's lows and Layne's beats, they managed to sneak in some little snarky bits of epicness from both Cesar and Omar. PS biscuits and gravy.

I absolutely love your funny stun reaction to VoicePlay's little surprises. Like at 12:00, your "Huh........kay.....wwwuat?" I just love it. 😂

Was looking forward to watching you react to this.

There is no reason layne needed to go this hard with his beatboxing

Don't know the game or the song but as usual VoicePlay's signing was incredible and Omar is just the greatest I love it when he joins in for a song.

I have been listening to the song over and over again since they released it on Patreon. Can’t get enough of it and it’s stuck in my head forever, I’m afraid. Yoghurt with fresh fruit and oats is my go to thing! Yummy 😋

You're such a joy to watch. This is just so otherworldly

I love the final white blank background shot. It's as if the song was a communal dream while in Cryogenic Sleep. And your comment of just "ELI!"? I said the exact same thing! Alternative to what I said in another comment: Egg Scrambled with Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese and Green Onions.

As fun as The Lion Sleeps Tonight was, I very much love when they do these more harmonizing numbers. Thanks for reacting!

"I might have gone back too far . . . " Don't worry, sweetie, that's not possible! I can't get too much of this one! And Denver omelette, with extra onions.

Space shanty

Always like your reactions. Especially those of Voice Play. I usually skip breakfast

Chocolate chip pancakes with cream and chocolate syrup. I love that this is my first comment on one of your vids and it's a no-context foods one 🤣

From what I could see this was not done in-front of a green screen. I think that it was done with and LED wall/floor. You can see the "Stage" that they were filming on during the outro. As for my favorite breakfast that would have to be Biscuits & Gravy.

My favorite breakfast is something my family calls Gench. I don't know where it originated from of if we just made it up but it is buttered toast topped with a fried egg and then thick spaghetti sauce. It is so good! Great reaction. I love it when voiceplay manages to break your brain. This is on of my favorite songs of theirs too and I also had never heard it but it is at the top of my voiceplay list and on all my playlists!

Tomatoes, sausages, and nice crispy bacon (what am I, a Hobbit?) Also eggs, made in whatever fancy way someone else may wish to make them or scrambled if I make them (because the best part about making fancy eggs is the moment you realize you're having scrambled eggs... or is that just me) 😅 thank you for everything you do, I'm hopping between this and your Epic reactions, this has been a lovely palate cleanser after the beginning of the cyclops saga💝

Starbucks Pikes Place Via, Rich Chocolate Swiss Miss, and hazelnut creamer mixed together

Brunch. A little bit of everything and a poinsetta.

Energy, drink and spite

As an old broad, I had no expectations, except that it would be amazing. I did go and listen to the original after the fact, and no surprise, this is better. Instant grits.

Space Shanty

Full English, fried bread, black pudding, no tomato. Space shanty I'd never heard before. Now my earworm.❤

Best reaction to this so far. You caught everything I was hoping you would.

I'm so glad there are reactors like you out here to remind me that Eli is doing stupidly awesome stuff, because at this point my brain is like "Eli gonna Eli" and just rolls with it as if it's not a huge deal that he's in the stratosphere with his vocals. 😂

1 - Your AC is running in February?! Global weirding. 2 - Mason is a gem. 3 - A feta and spinach omelet or challah French Toast or pancakes in one of several styles- buttermilk, ricotta, oatmeal, cornmeal or buckwheat. But no matter what a large pot of hot black coffee. (Does it make me weird that I fantasize about making any or all of these things for members of Voiceplay? I just want to feed people.)

Tea and freshbaked bread w honey.

I am obsessed with this cover, it just hits different in the best possible way. It is so catchy, like I find myself singing it throughout the day at random times xD The arrangement is just perfect, like I love everything about. Thank you for the amazing reaction as always💜Also a cheese omelet and toast

Love this cover! This song was used in the game Warframe as well.

Love this. Always enjoy their "stompin'" ones. Waffles and bacon, please.

Thanks for a great reaction. I'd never heard this little "Space Shanty" before either, but it has really hooked me and I enjoy hearing it. Waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage!

Easily in my top five. And one of the the best parts is Cesar being his adorable, goofy, hilarious self in the BTS.

Voiceplay and Fruit Loops Rock!!

Pudding filled pastry and coffee. Loved your reaction - this song is stuck in my head for days now 💜

Great reaction. A lot of times I see the songs here before I hear them.

Yes, this broke me in a good way too 😂 Semolina with brown sugar

Eggs Benedict ❤😂❤ Loved your reaction as always my friend.

Scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns. Thanks for the reaction! Loved this VP arrangement!

scrambled eggs and toast, bonus points if there is jam to put on the toast. Loved the reaction and i really really liked this song a lot.

I enjoy their music so much more watching you reacting to them. I've been looking for your reaction, thank you for making it fun! Overnight French Toast

Mini tomatoes, roasted sweet potato and a poached egg on toast, with a sprinkle of mint, dill and parsley. And a mocha.

Cold pizza. (And Tang, of course!!)

waffles with strawberries and cream cheese

Biscuits and gravy, Southern style! I absolutely loved this one. Definitely in the top 5. Maybe top 3. All the contrary motion was just awesome. I love when Geoff pushes Layne into new territory, and then he blows ours minds with sounds that shouldn't come out of a human mouth.

When I was in high school, I could put down half a family size box of cereal. Now 5 years later, and a hundred pounds lighter, I still love cereal, but it’s less than half a bowl

So I have chickens and I really enjoy having them around. Great video! I fried up 1.5 dozen fresh eggs for breakfast

Thank you for the R&A Mortius. Always joyous to watch, especially when you lose the ability to speak

VP never fails to impress! Run to the BTS now, it's so interesting! Waffles, bacon, and hash browns.

Your face at Eli's "Below!" Was hilarious! Otherwise your reaction is very informative.

Omar is def one the best guest artist they have on.

French toast! Luv watching your reactions!❤

I had never heard of this game or song before either, but now I cannot stop singing it. I'm serious. I wake up in the morning and just instinctively out of my mouth.....sisters! below below.....they really nailed this one. I love breakfast so much, I don't know that I could say my absolute favorite, but you will never find me turning down some french toast.

hmmm . i had a grilled cheese sandwich with yoghurt and a glass of juice. that was for sure my favourite

This will be playing in your head in bed, as you fall asleep and first thing in the morning!

Pretty much my same reaction point for point, especially Layne's little "Yeah...I know" grin. Cheeky! An omelet "sandwich" on Dave's Killer bread.

When I watched their cover for the first time, it stunned me and blew me away so much that I had to rewatch it immediately!! Your reaction was a blast to watch and very relatable (Edit as I commented this before finishing your video: Coco pops Chex with milk, or Nutri-Grain with Milo powder and milk (I'm Australian))

Such a great song indeed, I also had this one the moment it dropped. So very cool. It's lunch...

Sleep long!!

Eggs over medium with hashbrowns and bacon strips

Scrambled eggs with veggies, or Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. The "contrary motion" is one of my favorite aspects of this arrangement. Tenors: Be low. Geoff: Be low? Got it. Funny that they realized after a couple hours of filming that Layne was not consistently wearing his gloves so they refilmed... yet Geoff used at least seven clips with Layne's bare hands when he edited the video. Geoff also put together the background space shots, which is why they time to the music so well.

Honestly this is one of those where a reaction to the original would be cool too as it is a banger

I just heard that song yesterday and it's been giving me serious earworm vibes ever since. Very very catchy. My absolute go-to at home is fried eggs over easy, with toast. If I'm in a restaurant, then some version of Eggs Benedict - for instance with smoked salmon or crab cakes.

Whatever is left over in the fridge.

I've seen many comments say Space Shanty. Love that!

Just watched this reaction again, and Contrary Motion... I searched for that term literally just a day ago. haha. Still an amazing song, and love the reaction. ❤️

Crepes, baby!

Strawberry yogurt w/ frozen blueberries. :) or French Toast... with bacon. Man, now I'm hungry. Really enjoyed this reaction, loved the song and the BTS does not disappoint!

Layne's muted trumpet is just killer

I absolutely loved this whole video and it's so nice to know there are others who get my fascinating with these. Hey-yo fellow Oregonian! Shari's sour cream lemon pie...

And I’ve been calling it a space shanty since the first time I heard it. The BTS for this is definitely worth the price of admission. Go watch it.

Hash browns with cheese, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

I'm generally not much of a breakfast person (just don't have an appetite until a couple hours after waking up) but if I had to choose: eggs over easy fried in butter, some buttered toast, sliced avocado sprinkled with salt & pepper (occasionally like to drizzle a little sriracha on it too) and a cup of decaf pecan & cinnamon flavored coffee with a splash of cream and sweetened with agave nectar :)

A good bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Literally as soon as I started your video I thought "nice bi lighting!" 😁💗💜💙

Belgian Waffles. Love your response!!!! Thanks for being awesome!!!!

Poached egg on toast with crispy bacon on the side served with a glass of cold milk followed up with a mug of hot tea.

Nothing but a cup of coffee

Biscuits and gravy!
