Once upon a time there was this little band called the Beatles that dropped several hit LP's on us and shook the world in a way that no one could have before that. Right place right time. I was 19. I'm now 75, been following this group since the sing off, and when you think they just can't possibly top the last thing they did, they do! BUT, they do it with no instruments. Seriously? I love this group!!
This song was so captivating. Kirstin stunning and then Mitch coming in making it sound even prettier. This song actually meant a lot to me. My mother is fully blind and it reminded me so much of her and the journey shes been and going through. Pentatonix is always so so damn good.
I think this song can be so many things to so many people. Thanks for sharing about your Mom. I was talking to mine today about all the ways you could take this song and she agreed with me that it's so much better than a lot of stuff on the radio. I think this needs to be on radio stations all over to get to the people that need to hear it, who may have this same cry in their heart , but not the words to say it. Give your mom a hug from me and let her know I think she is brave, and wish her all the best!
@@KassWinnie Beautiful! I love this. I love that we can help our family member and have such an amazing song we can listen to to help us on our own journey helping others
I listened very carefully, and maybe I'm going deaf, but I believe this is the first video by PTX where Scott has no distinguishable solo input during the entire song. I know he must be harmonizing with the group, but unlike Mitch, I can detect no instance in this video where his voice is heard above the others. For PTX that is just incredible, especially since he sings lead in most of them. Oh, no. Someone call a doctor. Scott must have a case of laryngitis! Great reaction, Jase. Thanks for jumping on this one so quickly.
I feel like having Scott singing with the lower section and not being a solo for once really adds so much to the fullness of the song- I love Scott but it’s nice to hear him doing other stuff
@@ptxcolleen2393 that's what I was thinking. The lower parts of this song is really phenomenal. It sounds so full and if I didn't know I would probably have thought that it was instruments.
I said this on the Mad World vid too, but it bears repeating. A PTX release is a double joy now because it means a new Jase reaction is inbound too 😀. Keep up the great work!
You got it right about the meaning of the song. This what they emailed to fans. “We also have a brand new music video for y’all! “Be My Eyes” is all about personal perception-seeing things clearly, not seeing things so clearly, and needing loved ones around you to ground you and help you navigate the complexities of life. We wanted to convey that in this video!”
As a formal vocal major in a performing arts academy I love love love when you review pentatonix. As a choir we, as a group, aspired to be as good as pentatonix. A Cappella was always our favorite thing to sing. One song we did was called Ho Taru Koi and at multiple times it sounded like water droplets just with our combined voices. Another one was Las Amarillas which I often describe as sounding like a what I think a scitzophrenic's mind sounds like. But I think what you might be hearing a lot when you listen to them is the phenomenon that happens when one or more voices perfectly match pitch not even a little bit flat or sharp. When that happens you can hear something more notes than are actually there and it's breathtaking.
Hitting two notes perfectly, often gives the impression of a third note. 3 notes, can be as many as 5 notes if hit perfectly. It's a wonderful phenomenon, and leads to that wall of sound situation.
I feel like this song is the most "instrumental" sounding song they've done so far. It's really hard to distinguish their voices from the plucking of orchestral string instruments in this one.
Guys talking about the photoshopping - we're still in either red level or orange level lockdown here in CA so gatherings are not allowed under special circumstances. It is plausible that they filmed individually and layered them, particularly noting the height difference between Scott and the others isn't as obvious.
Great reaction as always Jayce! I so love this new original song. Kirstie does a beautiful job in her lower register and is so solid and melodic throughout the song. But, oh Mitch! I love both those high harmonies and his lower register flowing throughout the entire song backing up Kirstie’s lead. Kevin looking so blasé in the beginning of the video as he just calmly beatboxes his heart out and then about midway through just breaks loose and is totally Into it and just jamming away. The bass drops by Matt and Scott supporting the bass as well as the harmonies throughout the song is awesome also. I love everything about this video although I do have to admit the focus on the eyes freaks me out a little bit. It’s just a thing I have about eyes😉 The base melody in this song gives me big Enya Orinoco Flow’s s vibes. I love how into it you always get as well. It just makes me happy to see another video from you pop up. Keep it up! So glad that you were being able to make a go of this and keep on reacting. I always look forward to it.
Wonderful reaction ! Stunning visuals, fantastic voices, and a powerful message ! In this world of chaos and too much information, we need someone who grounds us, keeps us sane ! I'm a Pentaholic and love these people so much ! Thank you
Matt's bass line is incredible!! and you are right II took me awhile to realize Kevin is not a drum, it was so good. That was so nice. Ya noticed the tats as well. She looks stunning and then Mitch...those clear clear notes. New Original album
Great reaction to a great song! Yes they announced a new original album at the same time they dropped this video. The new album is called , "The Lucky Ones" and it comes out Feb. 12, 2021. You can pre-order it now!
I discovered Pentatonix last year thanks to one of my best friends, we went to their concert. Now every time they release a new song, I wait for your review so I can listen for the first time with you 😆. You're so fun to watch! Awesome song
Sorry man, I couldn’t wait on you. Watched it about a half hour after it dropped. This one is going to be burning up Spotify for sure! Mainstream radio material if there ever was. I still had to come by and see your reaction. I just love when great music from any genre can be so appreciated by someone who would not typically listen to said genre. I don’t think it matters what a person normally listens to, the power of PTX’s harmonies and individual abilities will hook anyone. Keep ‘em coming!!
New original album dropping 02/12/2021. It was due to drop this last February but was delayed due to all the mess. Love the reaction, love the song. Kirstin wrote this song. The single "Happy Now" that dropped back in August is also an original that will be on their new album.
Great reaction! It good to see Kirstin take the lead. Being that time of the year, could you make your next PTX reaction "Making Christmas". If you don't know where the song is from, don't look it up. It would spoil the fun!
It looks like the shots of the 5 of them together are "photoshopped" to look like they were together. But it's also possible that they did actually record together and intentionally made it look that way. Since their videos are always spot on, I tend to think it was intentional.
I'm pretty sure that both of the original videos they've released recently were filmed before the lockdown (notice that Mitch still has the mullet), the production process just took longer before they were ready for release, since the production standards are higher than for the "At Home" videos.
Mitch’s voice is so distinctive, and they’ve all agreed before that he has the best voice of the group, lol. He stands out in every way - that’s who he is.
@@bill.godwin-austen This one is recorded more recently as Kirstin only changed her hair back to blonde a few weeks ago. As such, they're probably still following guidelines that mean filming separately for safety.
When does Kirstin not look gorgeous, my friend? I saw this video had dropped, and saw you already had a reaction to it, so do I watch it alone or with Jase. Naturally I came here.
I have had two friends I've been eyes for since they were blind. Also one guy I used to ride the city bus with was blind. When I saw him missing the entrance I grabbed his arm and said "Let me guide you."
Am i the only one that hears Enya's Sail Away during the opening vocal harmonies? EDIT: Not a single notification that anyone liked or replied ....roflysst.... thanks youtube. Glad i'm not the only one though =]
@Jase if you want to hear another Kirstin lead original of PTX it is called Water and though it does not have a "music video" it does have an original release and its performed live at PopSpring and the live performance has incredible images projected behind the stage it is SO incredible
This song is Kirstin's creation and I love it! They've begun releasing their original music for their original album that they were working on before c-19 hit and stopped everything. After this new video premiered they announced the pre-sale of their original album titled "The Lucky Ones" coming in February 2021! I just watch them perform with Kelly Clarkson on the Billboard Music Awards 2020 and it was awesome to see Kevin with his cello in the beginning! I loved seeing them together even if there was no audience.
As soon as I saw this song had been posted I started to look forward to seeing your reaction to it! Thanks so much for coming through way sooner than I even expected! You rock.
I heard do to the pandemic They are. Filming from their homes saw it on the ET Canada channel where they gave a interview. You never would know they weren't in the studio that is Great filming and editing
They're coming out with a new original album early next year and all of us long-time fans are super stoked! We haven't had a large dose of OG music from them since late 2015.
I just newly Subscribe to your channel. I love your reactions because they are exactly the same reactions that I do every time I see Pentatonix or other R&B amazing singers like them. I’ve seen Pentatonix in concert about four or five times and I have met the cast personally a few times. But at the time it was Avi in the group and I follow them since the Sing Off competition. Avi is a near and dear friend both on my social media and a musician like I am aspiring to be (baritone/Bass). Keep up the good work and if you want some cool songs I can hit you up with some, peace and love!
2017: Pentatonix is marvelous group! Kevin's beatboxing is astonishing 2020: Pentatonix is marvelous group! WAIT WHAT?!? THERE IS BEATBOX?!? OMG KEVIN LUV U
Need to watch the Perfume Medley by Pentatonix. Mash up of songs by a Japanese group. Mitch has yet another new look and gets to really show off his ability to hit high notes.
A suggestion if i may, since its so close to halloween you should react to Pentatonix's Making Christmas from Nightmare before Christmas. It has great visuals i think you will like and of course the vocals are unreal.
