Honey, you do you. Most true fans know what hearing those lyrics can do to someone. And I prefer this honest reaction to someone without a visible reaction at all. I watch reactions to validate my own amazement at this. This sense of shared experience is what watching any reaction is about.

Sense of shared experience - exactly! 💯

PTX has the ability to get under your skin, somehow they make the lyrics more heard and felt. never ever change your reactions because some people don't like it, stay genuine to yourself!! ptx even has a song about changing yourself for the internet..never gonna cry again! you will never be able to please every one so stay true to yourself !! I loved your reaction and could see the real emotions this song had on you and thats what is it all about in music.

I think as a performance coach, you really understand what makes their music so special - they feel and believe every word they are singing. They know how to "sell" a song. This is one of my favorite songs by PTX. I have listened to it dozens of times and STILL get goosebumps and teary.

Isn't the ability to appreciate the care and work PTX puts into what they create part of why we are Pentaholics? I'm sorry if anyone gives you a hard time about your reaction - if they don't appreciate your work, they can watch something else ... you aren't weird, and I'm really sorry you've had a tough week. We actually do care about the reactors that share their responses with us because we end up sharing more of the human experience together than just a song or a video. Everyone feels things differently - thank heavens! Your viewers want the freedom to express their experiences in the way that is true and honest for them - you get to do the same, and should be accepted as you are. Thank you for all you do to get the videos done, past the copyright red tape, and put out free for our enjoyment. As Mitch has said, "F**k the haters"

Just imagine, twenty thousand people, total silence and this group bringing tears to every single person there. I happen to know that it happens every time they sing this and many other song. Rest assured, you are not alone in your emotional response to this music.

One of the things that initially attracted me to Pentatonix is their commitment. They allow themselves to be vulnerable in their performances, and surrender to the feeling of the particular piece of music. It's authentic, too! People can tell acting from reality. You of all people understand that you have to access real feelings to portray real feelings. That's how most of us know you do not fake anything. The best acting to me isn't pretending, it's embracing.

Thank you for your reaction ❤ You give me hope that there are still people out there with heart. I love that you share your thoughts and feelings with us. This song is so moving. I think you’d really enjoy Can You feel the Love tonight. It always gives me chills. I’m sorry you’re having a bad start to the week. I hope it gets better ❤ take care

In interviews PTX have said that this is an Avi and Kevin song. This song always hits me so don't feel bad for having such an emotional reaction. You talk about songs portraying life and I agree. I don't know if you have checked out Avi's solo music but most of his songs hit me the same way, they are reflections of life . If you are interested, his first solo song was Change on the Rise which is very powerful or the more gentle All is Well. Thanks for a great reaction, take care.

Never, ever apologize for either getting emotional or for stopping to make comments. That's why we listen to you. To get just exactly those two kinds of responses. Great job!

I always look forward to your Pentatonix reactions. They are the most genuine ones out there. The way that you feel their music is the same way I do. And don’t ever think we (most of us anyway) don’t care about you or your week or your mental health. We are here for you.

I totally agree with you and appreciate your sensitive perspective on the group. I’ve concluded the same thing regarding Kirstie. While each member of the group is an amazing singer, Kirstie adds the emotional flavor to the songs. Her face and expressions indicate her passion for the song’s performance.

Pentatonic is the one group that will make me tear up by how beautiful the sound is as well as the emotions it evokes.

Avi and Kevin wrote this. I hope you’ll look into some of Avi’s solo music, you’ll recognize the lyrical style from this and another PTX song he wrote, Standing by. Most people start with Change on the rise or All is Well (7Layers-session) but everything he’s done is great!

Yes Please react to Avi's solo music it is stunning!!!!!

What I really love, and I think so many people miss, is Kevin harmonizing with Kirsten while Avi, Mitch, and Scott are singing a separate part. Normally we get that from Mitch so I really treasure getting it from Kevin.

Never be ashamed for loving something and feeling an emotional reaction.

It’s a tremendously moving composition. I appreciate your authentic reaction. Pentatonix brings a level of genuineness that is rare and powerful ❤

Please, don't ever apologize for your feelings. I love that you shared how creative artistry moves you. Others don't need to understand. It's beautiful how passionate you are, and you should never have to apologize for it or hide it. This song, along with many others, touch me too. You can tell when an artist, whether a musician, artist, writer or sculptor were feeling or experiencing something while creating their piece. Because of that, it moves you. As it should. Thank you for the heartfelt reaction. I'm sorry you're going through a rough period. I truly hope things improve quickly.

And THIS is why we watch you. Thank you.

It’s your reaction page, so you have to react honestly and that’s what you’re doing. Stop apologizing for being you! My favorite time to listen to PTX is bedtime. After my husband goes to sleep I open my ipad, plug in my headphones and listen to them for about an hour. Yesterday, I pulled the trigger and purchased two tickets to go see them live this summer. I’m beyond excited‼️

I for one appreciate your reactions! I also care about what affects others, and that includes what has been going on with you! Prayers and positive thoughts are coming your way! You are right about Kirsten, her facial expressions are always connected to the song that they are singing. That was a great observation!

You speak truth regarding art, and I challenge anyone who thinks that art has no value to go without music, books, color, or anything creative to go without all of it for 24 hours.

The way you share is why I watch you. Please don't ever change.

Honey, I'm so sorry that some Penta-trolls have been bullies! That's awful! Something you'll learn about TRUE Pentaholics is that we absolutely DO want your honest reaction, because it helps us remember our first time hearing these amazing songs, and the way they & PTX have helped all of us get thru innumerable amounts of situations, pain, grief! We DO want to hear about your life, whatever your willing & comfortable enough to share! I'm so sorry it's been a rough time for you recently, and I adored your reaction! I can't tell you how many songs I've sobbed thru (I could never do what you do cuz I'd rarely make it thru a full video reaction!). Music is a heartbeat that joins many people & yes, helps us feel seen & less alone. You're absolutely lovely, friend. Please ignore the handful of trolls as true Pentaholics know that PTX is against bullying in any way & again I'm sorry you have had to deal with that!

That was a beautiful, genuine reaction. Take all the time you need so you can fully appreciate how amazing PTX is 😊

Don’t ever apologize for a true and honest reaction. ❤

I appreciate and respect that you show how you feel. I don’t just hear music, I literally feel it and Pentatonix brings out the feels better than anyone. I DO fall asleep to them almost every night and it’s so soothing. I’m very happy that you can connect with us through your vulnerabilities ❤😊

This one of those songs that moves me to tears also.

Pentatonix to me personally has some of the most talented members that I've ever seen, heard, or experienced. The first performance that I experienced with them was their video performance of Hallelujah. I was in tears long before the end of the video. Of course their musical and vocal talent and ability as artists is to me next level. Having said that, what pulled at me even more while watching and listening to them was how their ability to express made me feel. Yes they made me feel! Their faces, their expressions, their delivery along with the music, touched my soul. In my opinion, that's what true musical/ vocal artists should do. I so enjoy and appreciate your PTX reactions because you show and express how their music and performance " makes you feel". God bless you, and keep doing what you do. The world needs more people like you!

PTX has been touched by angels.

God love you for being emotionally available! I am so sorry that some of us have made you feel that you have to defend your inclination to feel moved by art. I love reactors who can voice how music makes them feel and the thoughts it inspires, that’s what it’s supposed to do, in my book. And you do that so well, so thanks. Two other PTX originals have lyrics that make me think - Anchor and Never Gonna Cry Again. Also, I don’t know if anyone has mentioned Superfruit to you. It was a side project for Scott and Mitch for a couple of years that resulted in a fabulous album, Future Friends, and, with others in the LGBTQ+ community, a powerful response to the Pulse nightclub shooting with a cover of Katie Perry’s Rise. That one is emotional as well. (For sheer fun, you can’t beat their Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 and 2, complete with bloopers at the end.) Sorry to be so wordy. Peace from Ohio …

I love this song. That line I would break down the gates of heaven has always gotten to me, but now that I just recently lost my grandson they touch my heart even more 💔.

I am 100% with you! When you spoke about music and the arts having the ability to connect people from all walks of life and give us all something to relate to and share in, I couldn't agree more. It's absolutely incredible. If there are people out there that don't see that, feel that, or maybe haven't experienced that yet, then I truly feel sorry for them because they are missing out on one of the best parts of the human experience. Music has the ability to change lives, it has saved lives, it can heal all types of trauma. Music is so important to me, I feel it deeply also, especially PTX. Thank you, this reaction was amazing and please don't change a thing about your PTX reactions ❤️

Thank you so much, for fixing the audio. Because, I care. I care about what you have to say. I care that you had a rough week and this beautiful and magical performance made you feel better. Even if it's for just a bit. Emotions are part of being human and should be celebrated. I heard a great quote the other day.... We are human beings not human doings. I liked it alot. I hope that your days get better. Please keep sharing your heart, mind AND emotions with us. It's truly a wonderful thing.😸

Great reaction. And don't you let others tell you how to react to the videos. This song is a masterpiece, going deep and hitting very close to home. I've had this song on the top of my playlist for years now and I get touched by it everytime as is it's the first time. Btw, this beautiful song was written by Avi and Kevin, who shared an apartment at that time. Keep on reacting to them and other music. I love watching you doing so.

i have lost track of how many times I have heard this song and how many times it has brought me to tears. Do not apologize...true reactions is what we want...hugs

I get it! I am a true Pentaholic! I enjoy seeing genuine reactions. If you love music you feel it and PTX make sure we feel their music! I’ll enjoy traveling this rabbit hole along with you!

Please don’t change the way you react, I know how music can speak to the soul. When I hear a new song ( not just PTX) I always listen twice. Once watching it, and one with my eyes closed. I sometimes have to remind myself to take a breath!. I just love music.

Thank you for letting us hear the whole reaction! I could tell it was special. And you're not weird. If you don't have an emotional reaction to ptx, you are not in the right headspace to hear it.

Her name is Sohyang from South Korea. Her covers of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' , 'You Raise Me Up', and 'I have Nothing' are legendary. But the rabbit hole goes so much deeper and definitely worth delving into. Especially her vocal tour de force 'Everyone' .

WONDERFUL perspective on connectivity!❤️

It IS that deep! Hearing music VS Listening to music.

PTX originals are almost always co-written by one or more PTX members. This is from their second EP, PTX Vol. II. In those early days they did all the writing and arranging themselves (with Ben Bram). The official credit on the early albums is to the group as a whole. For later albums they started bringing in at least one other co-writer for each song, working with various experienced pop songwriters (as the SingOff judges advised them to do). And they started giving individual writing credit to the specific PTX members and other co-writers. They also started bringing in pop producers and vocal editors in addition to their usual crew, and those consultants often get co-writing credit.

Great reaction to this beautiful song. I think you would enjoy Avi Kaplan's solo music it is amazing. Change on the Rise is his most popular and very powerful. All is Well, and On My Way are more gentle. Really there isn't a bad song in the bunch!

To be able to feel and connect to art in this manner is a beautiful gift. I truly wish everyone could experience it with such an open heart. Thank you for this reaction.

Great reaction. Thank you. The song and the video are beautiful. The band is amazing. Happy that you got to experience it and to feel it. We are here for YOUR reactions. Anyone who does not want pauses and comments should just watch the beautiful Pentatonix video on their KZread channel and give it more views. I hope that your week gets better.

Definitely do you my dude. Don't let anyone alter who you are. Be strong and keep putting out these great vids. It's hard for people to be open and real nowadays due to too much judgment, so keep the inspiration going. Wish you nothing but the best.

Actually love your “real” reactions. I jump on board the moment I see a that you are reacting to a new Ptx performance!!!

I truly hope that your week gets better ❤. This song is so heartbreaking, I imagine a couple that have spent their lives together and then one passes away, the other is pleading to go as well. It’s so sad.

I love your reactions. I have also had a bad couple of weeks. It just seems that nothing will go right for me. You can talk as much as you want. I love Pentatonix.

I thought your description of the effect of art /music on us humans was very well expressed. Makes total sense to me. Thank you for putting it into words. Hard to do that sometimes.

Many of us are sensitive. And vulnerable. And fragile. Tragically, many of our cultures try to program us to believe that sensitivity, vulnerability and fragility are not valuable traits. We are rewarded for being "strong". Which is code for taking pain and stuffing it inside ourselves and moving on. As if we are machines rather than living, breathing humans. You and I (and many others) do NOT stuff it inside and move on like machines. We are NOT "weird". We are rare. WE have managed to make it through society's programming unscathed. WE did not bow to the pressures. WE had the STRENGTH to fight for our own personal humanity. WE made it. WE won! There is a wonderful Dr. Seuss quote. "Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you." ❤

This song hits me every single time I hear it. So much so, I want this played at my funeral when I go home to God.

One of my favorites from them. Would love to see you react to Avi Kaplan's solo stuff. Would recommend Seven layers session "All is Well"

No shame, no judgement. Except on those fussing at you. I really enjoy your reactions. I hope your week gets better. 💚

Great reaction! This is one of my absolute favorite Pentatonix songs and I'm glad to see that it touches other people the way it touches me. Keep it up!

Yeah, this songs gets me too. I appreciate your real, honest and emotional reactions to this music. Keep up the great work, pause when you need to or have something to tell us!. ... and we do care about your week! ....the 'Oh Mitch' moment in this song...was Kevin (I believe)!

I always look forward to your reactions because they are genuine and you let the music move you. When you were talking about how they know how/when to add the little flourish or swell, it reminded me of when they were performing on the Sing Off, one of the judges consistently praised their ability to create a surprise - something unexpected in each song that wows the listener. That ability is in their DNA and every song has their signature surprise moment. Keep up the great work!

💜💜💜 I hope your week improves quickly. I love your heartfelt reactions. Don’t change that for anyone.

Beautiful Reaction -

I would love to see you react to Love Again, another awesome original by Pentatonix.

We come back and subscribe to you for your reaction. Your channel, your emotions, your opinions. Be you- I watch whenever you show up.

I know it has been months since you did this reaction...it broke my heart for you to react abt people comments on pausing, your emotions, etc. ...if people watch KZread they should know we wouldn't see any PTX videos if you didn't pause, it would be blocked, your channel does reactions, hello people and your raw emotions are what make your reactions so special and true...you continue to do you and do from your heart.. you are real and wonderful

Don't every apologise for Pentatonix touching your heart. That's why us Pentaholics are Pentaholics. Don't apologise for pausing either, you're doing reactions! That's what we want to hear - your reactions! If people don't like the pausing they should just watch the original song! The 'swell' is an example of the famous Pentatonix 'wall of sound'. It's just beautiful.

All five are credited as songwriters along with the sixth member Ben Bram. I think it's time for you to react to something fun, not just these emotional videos. Please check out Superfruit's Defying Gravity and Frozen Medley, not forgetting the bloopers. Also you must react to Todrick Hall featuring PTX The Wizard of A-H-H-Hs.

I like how your face shows your feelings. I like your emotional reactions. And I like when you talk about the music. You are a great reactor. Maybe you should do a reaction to another original of them: SING is a good mood song. Sorry to hear about your though week, I hope the next week will be better for you ❤️

I believe God created music to speak to our souls and to move us in unique and personal ways. I have wondered since I was a child if people "felt" music as well as heard it like I always have. I appreciate your vulnerability and allowing us to share your full experience. Please don't change.

The dissonant note that you heard and sent "Oh Mitch" was actually Kevin! It's very emotional!

Your connection to music is one I've also felt, for as long as I can remember. There's music that's light and fun and somewhat superficial, and there's music that reaches into our souls and connects with us on a profound level. So many different kinds of music for so many different kinds of people. This is why music endures. You're doing a great job. If folks are looking for reactions that are less emotional, there's lots to choose from! I hope your week gets better. ❤️

About Your reaction: I do like reactors that are honest and show their emotions, that gets me more than people that put themself in the spotlight by screaming at you or doing big gestures. About the humming at the end: I really like PTX for doing this, because they don't end a song abruptly. They pull us slowly down from the sky back on solid ground. And also their humming sounds better than many people singing.

PTX has that effect on us...

I love your honest emotions.

Great reaction. Hoping that your week gets easier. ❤

You do you. When I listen the first time I listen to a new song, i close my eyes and listen to the harmonies and flow. I listen to the words and emotions. Then I watch the video. I get it. I get how you react. Don’t change. At least I care about bad weeks for other. You did Say Something and I had the same gut reaction to the music and video. I had a crap week and your reactions hit me. I felt similar to you. You’re not alone.

This song brings back some of the overwhelming feelings we use to deal with regarding the families in our ICU. We dealt with some horrible brain injuries. Along with the family we became particularly attached to some of the patients and sweated our 12 hr 1 to 1 care with them with our heart and soul. Luckily we had a lot of good outcomes, but it was very, very tough sometimes.

I really appreciate you sharing your feelings with us. I get so much from their performances, but I pale next to you. Please don't apologize for feeling. Many people don't feel anything. Thank you so much.

I completely identify with those overwhelming feelings when experiencing many BM different varieties of creativity. It has always been that way for me.💜

Great reaction. Listen. This group puts in the work. They all read music and put hour after hour into the thought about what they are performing. KO played saxophone at Carnegie Hall his Sr. year of high school and invented celloboxing. The trio have sang together since high school which like any great sports team that plays together for years they know each other and don't even think about how to harmonize. They are one. Avi is just Avi and now Matt is just Matt and I mean both of those as a great compliment. Together it is nothing less than a miracle. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

I’d 1000 times rather hear an emotional reaction to their music. They would too. I’ve seen enough interviews with them and know how much they value honest reactions to their music and their impact on fans. This is a gut wrenching and beautiful song. Their abilities to express emotions visually are stellar. They can be fun or they can rip your heart out with their performances. Excellent reaction. 👏

I remember crying hearing this song, and I couldn't articulate why I was crying. This same thing happened the next 5-10 times I heard it. To this day, I'm not sure specifically why this song made me feel this way. Yes, the harmonies are beautiful, arrangement is awesome, etc., but I was "stirred" just as you said. That's the magic of music.

Emotional response to music varies with personality type and other factors. If you do react emotionally to music you sometimes can get a physical effect when a certain phrase hits you. It's from your autonomic nervous system, related to the effect your prehistoric ancestors felt when, say, they heard a saber-toothed tiger growl nearby. “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” ― Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
