Reaction to Geoff Castellucci Bass Version of Imagine by John Lennon 

Just stunning and a message as pertinent today as it was a half century ago.

Geoff is very special and always brings new emotion to any song he covers. He sometimes adds some words and music when he feels the original is too repeititve, but this one needed nothing added, just a new take on it, giving it a slightly different feel, but just as full of feeling. Thank you for your sympathetic reaction to it.

Geoff said that unlike most of his covers, no one had requested this, but it was what he wanted to do. It is gorgeous. Speaking of cinematography, Lennon's video was all white, walls, curtains, clothing, furniture, and piano. Geoff paid homage to the video as well as to the song, but also made it his own. He had the piano, chair, his clothing, and that gorgeous ceiling.

Geoff really hit me in the heart with this one. Excluding any & all "Queen" songs, this was my mom's favorite song and after Freddie Mercury, Geoff was her favorite artist. I basically sobbed my way through the Patreon premiere wishing so much my mom was still around to hear this. As you say, Geoff somehow manages to bring so much emotion to every song & when it's already an emotional song for you - bam! I've listened so many times since that premiere and each time I find myself remembering a different memory of my mom. As for that beautiful house, Geoff & Kathy were able to rent it to do the video and the piano is a shell that they also rented and put Geoff's own keyboard in it. The Patron's listed at the end of the video are only the top few tiers so Geoff has even more than you see there. Those whose names he reads are the top tier and the last name he read, Dorothy Bruun, was a long time Patron who passed away a few weeks ago. Her daughter & I believe granddaughter as well are also Patrons. It was so sweet of Geoff to add that dedication and the fact that he is that type of lovely person is yet another reason why I chose to support him. Loved your reaction to this and thank you for not rating it! 😊

You are the first reactor I've seen that even noticed the tempo change. He does add some wonderful chord changes - sprinkled throughout.
