Those that have been here a while know that I'm a super nerd, and when it comes to Lord of the Rings, I like ALL of it! "I See Fire", which was originally written by Ed Sheeran, is one of them (even if I think The Hobbit should have been one movie instead of three). Geoff Castellucci spins his take on this with his deep and smokey bass voice, and I'm 100% here for it!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Geoff Castellucci performing "I See Fire" for the first time.

@HunterTheFerocious Let me correct you here: Geoff was TRAINED by The Dragon. And I mean that in the literal sense. Tim Foust, The Dragon's Breath himself, taught Geoff his "Dragon's Breath" Sub-Harmonic Technique many years ago. And you can see how proficient Geoff has gotten with it over the years if you compare this song, "I See Fire," with his cover of "Misty Mountains." He recorded "Misty Mountains," I believe, the same year he was taught the technique. His Subs are kinda rough in that song. But in this song, "I See Fire," his Subs are SMOOOOOOOTH.

@Tark-qs4mu 4 месяца назад

Every time I hear this I am reminded of professor Tolkien's experiences in WWI. The line " I hope that you remember me ", to me, says ' I hope you remember the boy I was when I left here because the man who came back is a different entity entirely. ' I would imagine that the boy who left England died to fire on the mountain, to fire that hollowed souls, that there was blood in the trees, a hope of being remembered, and constant blood on the breeze in the form of artillery or gas of various forms. I hear that in THIS version. That is the longing ache I get from Geoff's version of the song.

@justingrandpre7919 4 месяца назад

War tends to do that, I myself had just graduated high school at 17 and months later was sent to fight in the Desert Storm (Gulf War). We leave as children and even if we aren’t gone for long, we return men who have aged many years.

@jamescurfman3284 4 месяца назад

That's a really great way to put it. War is terrible, all it does is TAKE and it never adds up to anything good. Alongside being basically Mass Murder, it's a form of revenge on a GIANT scale that entire nations take on other nations. What an absolute waste of lives and resources.

@bryonburrell9509 4 месяца назад

I am utterly flabbergasted at this man's range! If someone would've told me it was the same person vocalizing all these parts without knowing who it was, I would have called B.S. and stayed ignorant n oblivious. The lows that he hits are just mind bending but toss in the cut and clarity of his higher register..........it's just.......just....well, just insane!! Awesome reaction and analysis 👏

@RandomAxeOfKindness 4 месяца назад

One thing worth knowing is that the inner ear doesn't hear very low notes as clearly as mid-range and higher ones, and that means that less-than-pure ones, especially, can be vague to the brain. If you're a low bass singer, even with a lot of experience and a good natural ear it can be BRUTAL to stay on pitch and on key, because you literally cannot hear the notes you're singing as clearly as a baritone or tenor can. Monitors, so you're hearing yourself more through your entire ears and not so much from the inside out, can help, but mostly it takes practice and feedback, and, often, listening to playback right after you sing. Geoff's ability to string together complicated melodies of super-low notes is PHENOMENALLY more impressive than it might even seem. There are a bunch of really low-reaching basses hitting it out of the park on RU-vid these days, but Geoff's mobility and accuracy, and the smoothness of it, is unbelievable. Even if you can sing every note he hits, being able to string those low passes together properly -- never mind making it sound natural -- is excruciatingly difficult. And a playback may disappoint you even if you thought you got it clean.

@Duchess_Bananabread 4 месяца назад

We are so fortunate to be able to listen to a talent like Geoff. His arrangements truly are works of genius and as you noted, are only getting better. His most recent release, a cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game is a good example. There's so much space in it, yet the soundscaping will remind you a bit of what he did in The Sound of Silence. It's a remarkable piece, fraught with emotional impact, and Geoff's vocals are absolutely haunting. He always makes me hear a song differently, and this was no exception. Simply amazing.

@Badger77722 4 месяца назад

So glad you were able to give us your take on Geoff's video - I've been hoping you would do this for a while now! From the moment I first heard it, this became, and continues to be, my favorite of Geoff's solo videos. From the arrangement, to splitting the dwarves out into separate, distinct voices, to the simple but effective lighting of the set (thank you, Eli!), to the costumes and makeup, to the emotional performance, this just has everything I could want. The slow growth in complexity and volume, from a single solo singer to the climax of everyone singing together with the instrumental backing, the song takes us on a journey - not a happy journey, but an emotional one nonetheless. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't the tunnel opening back up, but the light from a dragon's fire that may burn us all. "Somber" is an apt word for this performance - and what a performance it is!

Simply awe-inspiring!

But what will really, really blow your mind is his Norse folk metal rendition of "My mother told me".

May I humbly suggest you react to Bobby McFerrin? You will find none better at a Capella. The best example of his vocal ability is entitled 'Drive'. This is a man who can sing two separate notes simultaneously (one in his vocal chords and one with his lips} while using his body as percussion. If that doesn't spark your interest, I don't know what will. For the best example of his performance style, try 'LIVE Improvisation at The Kennedy Center'. He plays the audience and choir as instruments. Wonderful man who MUST be seen in concert once in one's lifetime.

Thank you for another Geoff analysis, finally! I was looking forward to another one - I don't want to think in a "top x list" of Geoff's songs for myself, because every song has something special. Some songs I'm more connected to, etc. But i would say, "I see fire" is my favorite "Multiple Geoff" work (where "Wicked Game" is my favorite "Single Geoff" work, when categorizing by the video production). Here, Geoff shows his quality of range perfectly. You really hear 4 different characters singing, like you see in the video. And the song itself is beautifully written by Ed Sheeran. Great analysis and I appreciate you, sharing not only professional facts, but your personal impressions, feelings and opinion, too. Thank you very much and 'see you in the next one'! 😊

@Drake844221 4 месяца назад

What I love about this cover of I See Fire is that... like you point out, this is the cover of it where the adventuring party has just defeated one powerful boss and has another one knocking on their door. This cover has SO much "eye of the storm" energy, where they've passed through the wind wall on one side and having that moment to breathe before the other wall slams into them. This song is meant to be one of dread, because that is where it sits in the story. In the last few years, I've come to feel... actually kind of bad for the music from movies that I didn't care for. I See Fire, The Last Goodbye, even Yellow Flicker Beat. All songs that are just... amazing songs in their own right, but that I... kind of blew past because of my feelings for the movies they were attached to. At least now I'm able to appreciate them, having heard some amazing covers.

I've waited and hoped you get around to this one. You did not disappoint. 😊 Thanks I just love what Geoff did with this song. Nothing against the original but I definitely like this version better. I still listen to it on repeat. Looking forward to your next reaction 🥰

the only way I can simplify the feeling I felt is to imagine dropping a stone in a pool and the ripples reverberating off the edge of the pool and bouncing off the ripples, his voice did that exact thingto me but throughout the body from ears to feet to head. I hope it made sense because I can't explain the feeling

Geoff is a dragon slayer with the voice of a dragon for sure with that voice. I love his arrangements so much and his layering is spot on! I would suggest you check out Peter Hollens version of this song. Different but on of his best

You mentioned the Witcher. I can’t believe you haven’t done Dan Vasc’s Witcher songs. You should do a triple feature with Toss a Coin, Burn Butcher Burn and Song of the white wolf.❤❤❤❤

What an interesting duet you two could perform! He starts in his range, then you come in with yours. That could be amazing. ❤

Normally I don't comment on youtube but I think it's about time I say thank you for your reaction videos. I have now been on your channel almost since the beginning, whether it was Rock, Pop or Classic, your analyzes are always exciting. Here, too, you make me aware of some notes that I would otherwise not notice. I just wanted to thank you for that. Always exciting to hear your analyzes of the songs. If you like fantasy movies and their soundtracks, I think this one is worth your analysis. I know you know Eivør. A reaction video would be great but you can also just enjoy it for yourself. Thx for your reaction videos, love them. Eivør - The Last Kingdom: Main Theme (Live at Hammersmith Apollo)

I really like this song. Never heard it before. Kind of reminds me of what may have been sung around a campfire before a battle where they knew it was a long shot to win it. Very cool.

So happy to see you come back to Geoff! I always was a little surprised by how popular his Misty Mountains cover was, for myself I thought he sang it beautifully and it was a very good arrangement, but the song itself did absolutely nothing for me. So, as one of his patrons, when he first released some preview photos of this, and with my not being familiar with the song, I was really not excited at all. But it is one of my very favorite of all of his arrangements, right up there with Shenandoah for it being one that always grabs me because of the emotion and beauty of the song. And after he admitted himself, that he found this song to be a lot more interesting and emotional than Misty Mountains, I didn't feel quite so guilty about not liking that first dwarf song as well, LOL.
