Deejay has the voice of an angel. And Geoff 's bass line here is like being wrapped in a warm blanket. With Layne's impeccable percussion and beautiful harmonies from Cesar and Eli, this is a joy to listen to (and sing along with). Feels like a summer day in childhood.
@@Jadon_WYSE so glad you found them! Definitely dive down their archives. They have genres for everyone and always produce top quality work. I recommend Tennessee Whiskey, Golden Hour, and Moana to start. Of course, if you are up for a totally different genre, their latest two, Valhalla Calling and Seven Nation Army, are mind blowing. Their bass, Geoff Castellucci also does solo work on his own channel that is beautiful and fun. Try Ain't No Sunshine or Sound of Silence. And for fun, Way Down
Analysis Things: - Deejay's voice is perfect for this song. It’s soft and tender when he needs to be but powerful and riffing all over the place when the energy of the song builds - The lighting throughout the video brings another layer to the coziness of this song - I love this body percussion and how it creates the perfect vibe - Layne’s sweet voice in the beginning 0:51 That unison run 0:52 Geoff’s buttery voice in his baritone range 1:00 The background vocals stutter-singing “in my room” 1:05 Layne’s little pop gesture 1:07 I’m really starting to appreciate Eli's timbre and the quality of his voice The background vocals are repeating "do" creating a kind of broadway vibe 1:23 The harmony here 1:33 Incredible belt from Deejay 1:37 The subtle crickets in the background 1:49 Layne’s fill here and the next 15 seconds are just *chef’s kiss* 2:09 Beautiful falsetto from Cesar 2:21 Geoff's baritone 2:35 Layne does a little exhale which helps cue the listener for the stillness in the next section 2:50 "In my room" is sung with such tenderness and vulnerability This song makes me feel so warm and cozy. It’s been my go-to happy song 😊
What about this: sos d'un terrien en detresse by Dimash, collaborate with Mitch Grassi from Penatatonix to take full lead, will used his all his tenor register mixed of some lower and higher register, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used all bass register for the bassline.
What about this: How do you Sleep by Sam Smith, collaborate with Adam Chance from Home Free to take full lead, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used mixed of growl and subharmonic end of growl with reached chest for the bassline.
The guys did all my favorite things in this one... Layne sang a solo part, Geoff sang in his higher register, Eli, Deejay, and Cesar all got to solo and they had lots of fun runs and trills. Just a perfect version of the song!
( MUST DO, Voiceplay) what about this: Goodbye by Slipknot, collaborate with Scott Hyoing from Penatatonix to take full lead, will used forceful with darkest rustic and raspy but with engage core with mixed of some lower and mostly higher register, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will experiment new bass register in this song request, it called subharmonic growl with different depth for the bassline.
You arranged the song to embody the coziness and comforting feeling of having a safe own room and you perfectly performed it! I love the body percussion bits, Layne's singing and 1:49, Eli throughout but specially 1:06, Cesars emotions 2:04, Deejay's soft riffs 3:04 and Geoffs higher part melting into lower notes 2:20 - and how perfect is the 'now it's dark' moment 1:36 And the harmonies - the HARMONIES! I love how you included personal stuff in the room and the LIGHTS!
I came here to say this; love how really great musicians can find the core beauty of a song and really bring it forward for the audience. Thank you guys!
My favourite thing about this song and video is the *idea* behind it. It is a close and rather intimate invitation into your space - a moment of vulnerability that touches my heart. I see you, cool VoicePlay artifacts and mementos in the background...
Layne is the next level beyond the next level beatbox king. All of these guys are amazing performers and blending them all together is Acapella Mastery!
One of the best examples of the Beach Boys' close harmony skills getting the VoicePlay treatment is pure magic. Great to see and hear Deejay again, too!
This is literally the sound of a warm blanket being wrapped around my shoulders. I have listened to this a dozen times today. It is my new quiet time song.
Beautiful. As I said on Patreon one of the many things I love is we never know where you'll go next. Last few months classical, horror, Chipmunks, Metallica & now the Beach Boys! And all perfect performances & incredible arrangements.
What about this: american bad dream by kane brown, collaborate with Tim Foust to take full lead and with Adam Chance from Home Free will used his 3rd octave for the undertone with the main lead, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used mixed of growl and subharmonic for the bassline.
What about this: Just give me a Reason by Pink, collaborate with Rachel Potter to take full lead, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used mixed of chest and subharmonic and end of chest with reached growl for the bassline.
They're all great they all beautiful but I have to say Deejay stands out has the most beautiful face and voice ever. I wish the camera was on him more❤❤❤❤
This song feels like being wrapped in a security blanket. Which is appropriate 😊 Also, why do Eli's close ups look so much better than everyone else's?
EXCELLENT! Thank you for including the lyrics. Deejay, you are awesome! OUTSTANDING, close harmony. Love how y'all keeping time by snapping your fingers! BRAVO, Gents! 10 out of 10!
OUTSTANDING! Deejay, you are awesome! Thank you for including the lyrics. Love the close harmony! Love how y'all keep time by snapping your fingers. Thank you for including the lyrics.
This was my father's favorite song. He used to play it on his guitar and sing it. He was the greatest ever and missed very much. Thank you for this. Good job.
I hope you guys revisit The Beach Boys again someday cos I feel like you could do a killer rendition of Good Vibrations, with all its playful splendor and layers of sound.
I’ve been listening to this over and over on Patreon, can’t get enough of it!! I’m so glad that everyone gets to hear it now! Love Deejay’s voice too, he fits so well with you all! Thank you for this masterpiece!
What about this: Chill Out (Things Gonna Change) by john lee hooker, collaborate with Tim Foust from Home Free to take full lead, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used mixed of growl and subharmonic for the bassline.
@@carinarodebak9419 Jag blev så glad när jag fick ditt brev Carina, tack så mycket!! Jag tänkte skriva tillbaka, men det har inte blivit än. Vill bara berätta att jag fått det och ser fram emot att baka kakan! 😊
Deejay and VoicePlay are great together. Since your doing The Beach Boys, you need to do their hit song Kokomo. I would also like to see VoicePlay go out of their comfort zone, and try the following songs. Considering what you did with Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, I bet that they would be awesome. Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Seger Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top We're Not Gonna Take It - Dee Snider
If I hadn't already checked the credits early this morning I would have guessed that this was a Geoff arrangement. It's gorgeous - both do gorgeous work. But this has a soft seriousness I don't associate with Layne's more typically antic style. Not complaining, just really, really stunned. That will teach me not to assume I can tell from listening! As always from VP, it's beautiful. AND we got to hear Layne sing. Life is good. Guess I'd better go give the original a listen.
Sometimes you just need a break from the world and its insanity. This song embodies that and the way Voiceplay does performs it, in that perfect setting, makes the whole thing even better. This really brightened my day. Well done Voiceplay.
What about this: South of the City Lights by parker mccollum, collaborate with Adam Chance from Home Free to take full lead, will used his strong and clear with little bit of rustic ( not much) some lower and mostly higher register, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used mixed of chest fry and subharmonic end of chest fry with reached growl for the bassline.
This song perfectly captures what VoicePlay's music has meant to me over the last few years: a world where I can go to lift my spirits; a world that's kind and comforting and beautiful. I love these guys. 💙
Yes, so much this. My room is my safe and cozy place, and I even have color lighting effects which are so soothing, similar to what they have in the video. Music is a large part of the atmosphere I create and enjoy in my spaces, and VoicePlay with their lovely voices and arrangements, their sweet natured heartfelt delivery, is uplifting and always near the top of my playlist. Plus... Such a great and iconic song, and as usual these guys have done something original with it, and showcase their talents so effectively while still serving the song and honoring the original... Which is a balance not many performers seem to strike.
i have lots of good memories associated with beach boys songs, especially with my dad when i was a kid. he had several beach boys tapes he would play in his old truck on our way to the flea market on weekends, or in the old boombox while he worked in the garage and i rode my bike up and down the driveway. i can't wait to hear this 🧡
What about this: ride through the country by colt ford, collaborate with Andrew John Kim to take lead, will used his strong and clearest with pitch blend with different frequencies with some lower and mostly higher register, high harmony by: Eil Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, Geoff will used mixed of chest and subharmonic end of chest with reached of growl with different depth for the bassline.
Love how there's a Hamilton book on the piano stand (Deejay Young acts in Hamilton I think). Just little touches like this make the videos even more perfect than they already are
OUTSTANDING! Love the close harmony! Love how you keep time by snapping your fingers. Thank you for including the lyrics. Deejay, you are awesome. BRAVISSIMO!
@@deanmarion5477 I don't know why you felt compelled to comment on my love of Layne's baritone I couldn't care less about these new sub types they seem to be more about style than the actual voice. And no person has two vocal types Geoff is a basso profundo with a 6 (or almost 6) octave range. Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix is a countertenor. I may sound like a duck with asthma when I try to sing but I have played piano and flute. I love music and being old doesn't mean I am stupid. It means I have seen a lot of history and the world has changed along the way.
OUT OF THIS WORLD, Voice Play. Deejay, you are awesome! Love the close harmony. Love how you keep time by snapping your fingers. Thank you for including the lyrics. BRAVO!
What a beautiful song! Deejay Young, your voice is angelic! Eli, your tenor voice always blows my mind, Geoff, your bass lines are exquisite; I really love your velvety, deep tones! Cesar, your voice is gorgeous! Layne, again, your percussion skills are just amazing!
