Think you might be off on the Rat Poison quote... Seems like the song is about a Woman, but as the Analogy suggests SHE is a Drug that we are addicted to, knowing SHE is terrible for us, but still being Drawn to it... SHE is the Rat Poison. I think they were trying to point out it isn't "We love her and Miss her" but "We need her, despite what SHE is."

"That is not normal, people!" Possibly my favorite of her reactions, ever.

I’m 71 years old and finally figured out that when I grow up, I want to be like Geoff C. or Tim Foust! Not much runway left but the dream is still there!

We know Goeff has a 5 octive range. This isn't surprising at this point. But can we just take a second to acknowledge that this man, at 14:55 hit 3 of the 5 in essentially a single line.

I need "oh ummmm...that is really delightful" with some sort of hash tag Castelluci, on a sweater now.

Without fail, Geoff’s voice gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. It’s so open, smooth and creamy I just get chills every time. Especially in those low low notes.

Every single Geoff song is my new favorite, it's almost an embarrasment of riches the talent he has!

Great...I'm a 46 year old straight man, and now I'M pregnant! Damn you Geoff!!

Everytime there is Geoff video on Elizabeth's channel, I know to expect greatness, and also giggles and squeaks. In other words: joy. And they never disappoint !

I was giggling and tearful right along with you girl. Geoff's voice has the same effect on me. I find his talent astonishing. One moment I'm in sheer amazement. The next, I'm feeling bewildered. Other moments I find myself gasping; and others giggling. I am transfixed. His ability to reach those very low subharmonic tones is not just a gimmick. He's got a beautiful voice, a very impressive range, amazing tonal quality, and tremendous control. I love this guy!

I adore how his voice just PURRS. His tenor notes, he sounds like a whole other person practically! And I agree with 1973Grejluder! I'd love to hear you and Geoff collaborate! Also: GEZUNDHEIT! Good sneeze!

Well, maybe there weren't no sunshine before, but all that changed when Elizabeth showed up! 🌞 G and E have a pretty electric act going (see what I did there?): he does amazing things with his voice which in turn, causes her to do amazing things with her face! As somber as this song is, I predict the analysis will be exceptionally joyful! Can't wait!

Elizabeth, you are a gigglebox and I love it! Your reactions are priceless! I can tell the pregnancy is bringing more of your emotions out and it is wonderful. I love G C and your reactions are the best. Best of luck with the Kiddo!!!

I've listened to this song for years, thinking it was about a man who had lost the love of his life. Thank you for the background of this song. As a recovering alcoholic it now takes on a different and even more special meaning.

Geoff is one of very few people who covers several octaves and can do it with grades but he also brings extra depth s great talent and has a way of finding it all together in mixtures that are ear candy to the soul. Jeff is very talented for his age and brings new depth to base baritone tenor and I'd say he even does some Alto from time to time in his harmonizing what wonderful voice that brings Great Joy to the World and to all that listen to him I have had people that I've turned on to Geoff find his style of singing very very enlightening and brings kind of an old soul if you will to the music he is a very talented young man and he has a way of putting things together that no one else has thought of and that is what makes Geoff so special. The day I run across Jeff's music was one of the best days in my life because he brought so much joy and Beauty to the music he sings What a talented young man he is. In my lifetime I have come across another gentleman that was able to do several octaves and bring a style to his music that none other could try and to duplicate I think God gives us the special people to show us what blessing our voices can be and I am so grateful to these to Jeff and the other gentleman in my life that I've come across that enlightened my soul keep enlightening our souls Geoff

Yebba "My Mind" It's criminal that you haven't done this song yet.

The flipped thumbnail image threw me XD Love this cover. One of Geoff's best for sure.

One of my favorite parts of this arrangement is the slow clock ticking in the background. It really gives a sense of how time is dragging when “she” is gone.

I so love what Geoff did with this cover and made it his own. His voice is so beautiful here. I can listen to it over and over again. Awesome reaction and analysis.

Your reactions bring me such joy and I love how much you truly appreciate and geek out about VoicePlay's incredible talent (and Geoffs solo stuff too). More VoicePlay analysis pleaaaase!

knew this would bring on the signature Elizabeth giggle! even as someone who knows nothing about music I find this interesting- love the reaction ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You are having absolute gigglegasms! I always love your reactions. Geoff is so insanely talented and sooooooo good in this cover!

You are so cute when you giggle & get excited. That gives your reviews so very much charm. This is an amazing production & they gave proper nods to the original while being very original with the interpretation.

I've been following for a little over a year now and I have found myself listening to music with a totally different perspective. Each time I hear a song I "analyze" the different backgrounds, layers, etc. It has ven made my favorites from the mid 70's to the late 80's more enjoyable. . . . . .Thank You for the enjoyable insight.

I love the phrase "ear candy" :) Another thing to love in your reactions, Elizabeth, as well as in Geoff's cover and amazing vocal abilities.

Love the way you bust out laughing every time he does a sudden drop in his voice.

Accepting that Geoff has a very unusual vocal rangeand has done this for quite some time; I expect him to do strange and wonderful things with his voice, so I appreciate your ability to explain the delights that he is giving us. His skills are far beyond those of many who sing especially me and it is a fantastic thing to hear him !!!!

His voice sounds so great in all the registers!

You got the BEST giggle! When the music tickles you in a way that is spiritual and can not ever be physical...LOVE THE GIGGLE!

Already so excited about it! Geoff's videos and you are the perfect duo! 😄

Mr Withers singing this song which he wrote for his own reasons is something unassailable. The stutter and repeating "I know" is fascinating. Even so, I think that the songwriter would love that the work continues to be performed, particularly by Mr. Castellucci.

You asked about using vocal effects on voices. As a front of house sound guy, I do use effects even in a live setting. Adding compression to get a handle on radical dynamic changes, applying equalization (EQ) to tame unflattering, or enhancing desired, frequencies that may be present in a voice/microphone combination, using automated pitch correction to help vocalists who may not be feeling well or struggle at certain points, using a chorus effect sometimes with an octave "displacement" (like the effect you liked on Geoff's voice), adding a delay and/or a reverberating effect are all tools I'll use on occasion to help the stage talent accomplish what they want: to sound as good as they can. Some I'll use all the time. I can't think of one voice or instrument that I haven't needed to apply some EQ on to make the signal more usable. Most I only use when the situation calls for it.

Thanks for the insight! You must have amazing reflexes to be able to do all that, and do it well, in a live performance. I think VoicePlay (Geoff is their bass) gives a shout-out to their sound guy at the start of their shows, have the audience applaud for him, and then the instruction to leave him alone for the rest of the show so he can do his job. 😂

@@shirleykarr3554 Thank you, Shirley, though it isn't so much reflexes as it is working with the stage talent. To get things right, I've been known to record a rehearsal then play it back on repeat so I can work on something until I like how it sounds. I find that I am constantly learning new concepts and techniques to be better. I can say for certain that listening to The Charismatic Voice and other reactors has taught me about genres that aren't necessarily my "go to," and I've use what I've learned in live settings.

This is as Elizabeth says one of his best .... and damn I think junior gave her a kick in some of those low... lows.😂🤣😎🇬🇧🧙‍♂️🌺😘

When this first came out the emotions and the soul in this cover threw me for a loop and I couldn't see the beauty of it that everyone was talking about, so I'm so glad to get Elizabeth's analysis of this and especially all the giggling because it gives the whole thing a totally different and uplifting feeling.

I love how he uses the bass to evoke emotion in this one. It's the exact opposite of my other favorite from him, "High and Dry" where he uses his upper range to do that. If you haven't reacted to that one I'd definitely recommend it as it's amazing like this one and he hits some crazy high notes! Also, I'm sure you've got folks requesting "Enemy" and gotta say, I hope you get to that one but it'll be a long video. For how much VoicePlay usually has going on in any arrangement, they really leveled up for that one. You almost can't process it all, lol

I think that this is my favorite of Geoff's! They've all been so good, but the arrangement, his voice, and how he plays with the octaves is just my favorite! I, too, love his drop at @1:13 of the original.

There's another reactor, Peter Barber, who is also a bass and provides an excellent explanation of those "breathy A1s". Love Elizabeth's enthusiasm.

Anytime Elizabeth starts giggling inside of a minute, you KNOW it's going to be a great reaction!

I have been waiting with great anticipation for your reaction to this particular song from Geoff. If you aren't my absolute favorite reactor, you are definitely one of them. I love his arrangement. I also love your analysis! Thank you!

That’s a great reversing of the elements. It’s an expansion-and-contraction that signals the fluctuation and chronicity of the subject. He starts at this baseline, sinks into a depressed longing, and returns to the beginning, as if to start the trip over again. Really drives in that concept of addiction.

Oh, when you said his voice fell off the cliff my inner ear felt it, wow

Watching you smile and giggle over Geoff's amazing voice really makes me smile after a long day.

I know why you giggle and where it giggle, even I feel that… what a voice! What a tone! 👍🏻❤️

As many others have noted, your absolute love of music and the joy you feel listening to it is infectious and it makes me happy just to see others who feel the same level of joy I feel when listening. Geoff has become my favorite bass singer. I think mainly due to how nimble his voice is. He is able to enunciate so clearly and quickly even on the lowest notes. It's astounding. His range is mind blowing but it's that ability to dive in to sub harmonics and retain the ability to acrobatically sling words....incredible.

Geoff never fails to give me goosebumps! Love this cover

I just need to say that it is SOOOoo delightful to observe you when you GEEK out over your music! 😅 thank you for that fun.

Ooh- He's back! And this is a GREAT song for him. Too bad work prevents me from the premiere, but what a way to chill after work. Oh yeah, bring on Monday!

I love that this song really highlights his higher register.

Great analysis of both voice and production. As usual, Elizabeth's wonderful nerdiness comes to the fore as she explores the fine technical nuances of how Jeff uses his amazing voice and how he and his production team have built upon that to create vocal magic. Elizabeth's reaction really enhanced my appreciation of the video and everything that went into it.

hope you are recovering smoothly and gently from your labors and that the MiniCharismaticVoice is thriving! Beautiful reaction as always

You’re giggling every time at Geoff’s lows is infectious. Canadian artist Cœur de Pirate also covers this song. Her version is just vocals and percussion, and the vocals have a great choir feel to them, I think you’d really like that version as well.

Thanks for the information on what the song was originally written about. Personally, I think there is a difference between a little electronic modulation to add interest and electronic manipulation to cover up lack of range or technique or to distract. We are all listening digitally now anyway.

Love this channel and the commentary - increases the appreciation for the musician’s talent.

Great reaction, as always, Elizabeth! Loved the giggles!

It’s a beautiful tribute to Withers and a gorgeous take on the original. Missed you in chat! Hope all is well!

Elizabeth, you're looking great! So happy for you.

This is perhaps the most over the top cover of a song I have ever heard. Much too much were going on at the same time, for a song like this. But somehow, even though my ears screamed for mercy in the beginning, at the end I felt i had heard a pretty good version of the song. That being said, I still am awed at the pure voice range and especially control, of Jeff Castellucci. The man can sing anything better than anyone. But this time, musically he would have gained from having a simpler production with less voices, and keeping it closer to the original. But then again, one can't really discuss musical taste. Everyone is different. Elisabeth, was as always a pure delight. Her insights and musical enthusiasm always brightens up the day.

I have learned that for me, especially on this one, to not consider them the same song. For me it works better if Bill Withers section is over in one corner of my musical appreciation and Geoff’s version is in another. After understanding the lyrics and the purpose of the song the Withers version almost seems too bouncy. I do love the original, but this one seems much more true to the lyrics. As you said musical taste is very subjective. But I find this is no so much over the top, just incredibly complex. I can listen to the Bill Withers song and not think about it later. But this one I tend to go back over and over again because I can’t get it out of my head.
