The RIDERS are BACK!! | Unshaken - Geoff Castellucci | Acapella Reaction/Analysis 

The cowboy on stage left is keeping the "heartbeat" rhythm at the end chorus with the butt of his riffle. Which I found a really interesting performance touch.

With or without beard and or moustache Geoff is one fine looking gentleman and of course his voice is out of this world.

You should remember Geoff isn't here, just the living embodiment of the Ghost Riders in the Sky - all 4 of them.

I love the fact that he said these are the Ghost Riders before they died, and he let them do this song without his supervision. I absolutely love this cover. I had to look up the original by D'Angelo, but this is far superior IMO. Those low notes rumble in my chest. Also, l love that he said they were in front of Daryl's Cafe...lol. Great Reaction Mortius!!

Mortius, you're my favorite a capella reactor because you're equal parts technical knowledge and fanboy energy. 😂

Geoff unleashed his inner subwoofer again in this one, and it's AWESOME.

His cover of a song called Unshaken had my introvert, Ace self shaking, on multiple levels😈🤪 Thanks for your insight, humor and heart❤❤

Knew I could count on you to also pick up on the connection to Ghost Riders In The Sky! Can't wait for the reaction!

Happy belated birthday and happy 21k. Woohoo! What a great song to listen to on your birthday, with Geoff showing off his bass and tenor sides. I'm glad I caught the premiere, although late and had to keep pausing and getting up. I really wanted to write that I LOVE the idea of a crossover with you and DJ_410. Let the rainbow energy flow! 🌈

Happy Birthday, Mortius!🥳When this one dropped, I think my neighbours thought there was a small earthquake! 😂I'm not a gamer, so know nothing about the original - but I love this, very 'spaghetti western' feel to it!

Happy Birthday Mortius!

“The harmonies were squishy and crunchy” Typical Mortius giving eloquent insight. Just teasing. You know i love you birthday boy.

Thanks for another multi-Geoff analysis! 😊

I'm not a gamer but this is an awesome performance of a fascinating song. Your analysis was great. And, happy birthday!

I wanted to thank you for pointing out that beginning 'rattle'. I was so focused on the lovely beginning guitar strum that the 'rattle'snake would have bit me!

As always you are my favorite music reaction channel

Belated happy birthday Mortius!! This is a beautiful cover. 🌹🕊

So glad Geoff brought back the Riders. I love the cowboy theme. This man is gorgeous and talented. Love your reaction. Hope to see you reacting to Home Free again. They have some new stuff.❤

Spoilers for RDR2 This song plays at two points during the game. After Guarma, when Arthur is riding back to camp to look for everyone. And during his death scene as the sun rises.

Why does Geoff do anything? To catch you out. He is never predictable. :)

Happy belated birthday Mortius.

The Cowboys are back! But this time they are out on their own. It seems like didn’t find the Redemption they were looking for and became Ghost Riders. That’s what happens when Geoff isn’t on hand to keep his eyes on the boys. I like the tie-ins to those cowboys in Ghost Riders in the Sky with the sound of spurs and whistle in the background as well as the lightning strike. There is also a nod to 16 Tons with the rifles being used in the percussion. Also check his ad for Daryl’s Cafe. Daryl is the one in the long leather coat, and he started up his own business apparently. ru-vid.comBi0Dngd_d4Y?si=LIb-y0JA1FisvxsF

Your reaction videos never disappoint, and your facial journeys are always such a treat! Geoff is always such a pro when it comes to new videos/song covers, but they're even better when I know I'm gonna get to watch reaction videos like yours later on!

Hey, Mortius, I'm a great castelucci Fan, you are a castelucci Fan. I find in You Tube a realy short song by Castelucci..The Name of the song is" Paul Banyen. The Song is famos. The time of the song is 1 Minute and 2 secends. Thanks,and by Heiko from Germany. P.S.:You make a Goodyear work.

Great reaction, thank you.

It’s getting that I can tell what you’re thinking just by your look ❤

Thank you for the R&A Mortius. Your videos always teach me something and brighten my day.

So many cool harmonies in this one! All the tinglies

Happy birthday, Mortius! I haven't played the game, but from what I saw somebody else say, it's really easy to miss this song in RDR2. It involves having to steal a horse (or just ride a horse) back to the camp at a specific point. If you're not on a horse, you don't get the song.

The first note that you thought was two voice is I think just a subharmonic

Hola desde Argentina! Cuanto esperé tu reacción... Sabia que te iba a gustar! Gracias por tu gran reacción! Un abrazo a la distancia😊

Happy Birthday 🎉! Listening to Geoff in all his forms is a great way to celebrate. Always love to see your reactions and enjoy what you do here! ❤

Happy birthday! Geoff referred to this one as a beast because it has over 100 tracks. So glad he let Goff, Daryl, Jeoph, and Jeff out to play... before they did whatever that made them ghosts riding in the sky.

I don’t do expectations. That way, I can’t be disappointed if they don’t do what I expected.

This is so awesome. Nice to see you again. It was fun

happy birthday and congrats on reaching 2.5k subscribers. you know what i am about to say don't you? more dan vasc please

Geoff's higher registers have gotten so much better, he sings with them with much less effort and purity now! I also love love the movement in his parts in this song the riffs are as satisfying as the low drops!

Happy birthday, Mortius.🥳🥳🥳 Geoff Castellucci was a great choice for that day.🙌❤

Mortius bro, you NEED "ya know what i mean" merch !!!

Happy birthday Mortius 🎂

Happy belated birthday, Mortius! Happy 21K! (Maybe the song was added as a later "Downloadable content" after you played it? I dunno squat about things like video games; I'm basically at "Bejeweled" and "Freecell solitaire" level).

The note at 3:51 isn't 2 voices, it's just one. He's singing in 2 octaves at the same time using subharmonics, so he's singing both the higher and lower octave at the same time. It's not 2 voices layered on top of each other, but just an effect of subharmonic singing.

Happy Birthday, Mortius !! Bon anniversaire !! Feliz cumpleaños !! 🎂

Happy Birthday Mortius 😊

Happy birthday!❤❤

Happy Birthday 🎉

Nerd-fan-biy Mortius is the best, and I'm here for it ❤❤❤❤

3:44 Fun fact: at least for me, that is (quite close to) how subharmonics sound to my own ear - if I record them, they are regular rumbly subharmonics, but my "internal" (bone conduction) hearing usually highlights the "original" note within the overtones. In fact, I find it impossible to distinguish that higher note in this recording, because it sounds so similar to what I'm used to hearing internally, so it was very interesting to have someone point it out as an added element - I almost wonder if Geoff's perception of his subharmonics is similar and he intentionally mixed this to emulate that sound :) 6:08 Having the backgrounds barely noticeable adds a lot to the "lonely" feeling of the main line in my opinion

Well, I guess we know why The Riders went to Hades, because this song is sinfully good! A real masterpiece!

Insanely late but glad you finally did it

At 4:17, almost certain that is just subs. They are produced when you sing a pitch and then fry on top of it, creating the subharmonic am octave below the pitch you are actually "singing." It can be more or less clean sounding depending on proficiency (which I know Geoff has in spades) and how it is mixed. Usually its just there for the low end but in its full glory, there is also a clear base tone. Even with all that said, I could always be wrong, but I'm struggling to hear a backing voice at this particular moment

Another video you should do that I just heard from the bass gang is Billie Eilish’s Bury a Friend. So harmonic deep and scary

😀👍

i think mortius needs some milk......lol

The first time I heard the harmony hums I didn’t register it

You should also know by now Geoff likes to be seriously unconventional- like the "rattling noise" is - locusts.

D1-G7 is insane though

I might be alone in this, but I really dislike these "gimmicky" low parts: the notes to my ears simply sound ugly and ruin all the songs where they do it. Example here from this song about what I mean: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O5SWT6GCQWo.html By Voiceplay, another good example is Nothing else matters, where in some parts Geoff does those same notes and it just sounds blargh to me. :) Technically he is obviously brilliant, I just wish he used his beautiful part of the bass voice, and stayed away from those ugly notes.
