FIRST TIME HEARING | Geoff Castellucci | O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Low Bass Singer Version) #musicreaction

Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive. Hi, I'm Brad. Hi, I'm John. Well, surprisingly or unsurprisingly enough, Jeff has released a Christmas song. As in Christmas song, as in Christmas carol. As in Christmas carol, as in low bass singer version of Christmas carol. So I got a vest. Yeah, so it's automatically already brilliant. And he's photocopied himself. Yes, yes, yes, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Daryl, all there. So the song he picked, he's called it Oh Come, Emmanuel. I believe it's actually Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel. Technically, if you look it up. At least that's what Wikipedia tells me. And that's actually what I remember from school. Because this is one of those Christmas carols. You remember something you learned at school? That's good. Well, it's one of those I'd forgotten about it until hearing this. And it's kind of like, oh, I haven't heard that song since I was small, kind of thing. You know, it's one of the Christmas carols that I've personally forgotten about. Anyway, so it's a Christmas hint for Agvent, technically. Also in a lot of Christmas carol books. The text was originally written in Latin, and its origins date, yeah. It's English-ish, kind of. Its origins actually date back over 1200 years. So it's been around a minute. Yeah, 8th or 9th century monasteries. There's kind of the earliest records of what this song is based on. Popping up, that's kind of how far back it goes. The first modern version of it was translated in 1851. And translated into English, that is. And the version that Geoff is actually using comes from 1861. So 10 years later, same guy, weirdly enough. It's amazing that a song could even be around for that long. Yeah. But yeah, the lyrics of the version that he's singing in this song, basically, come from a songbook dated 1861. Because the lyrics were slightly different than the 51 version. Somewhere in the 1900s, some extra verses were added, which he's not doing. So yeah, he's basically doing a version of the song from 1861. I learned during that, like in 2000, they're like, here's Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody. Well, that one might stick around. And we are the champions. We are the champions. So, all right, well, let's check it out. Depends on who wins the war when the aliens come. Oh, that's true. Hey, the aliens might like that song, too. They might be the ones playing. Might be being beamed over. All right, before we get going, make sure you hit that like and subscribe. Check out the description down below. You'll find all our links, information, and stuff that we have down there. Including, since this is a Christmas song, I'm going to mention the fact that we have a store and those Christmas t-shirts and mugs and hoodies and stuff in the store as well. I might even link the... It probably won't work. Anyway. Link what? I was going to say, I might link it above my head, but I don't think I can. Okay. I shall. Did I? Yes. Play. Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. Our spirits by thine advent here, Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. What's this for, YouTubes? I just want to say, it has that deep of a voice. I can't do that. I know. That's the reason why he's awesome. Because bass singers are awesome. Yeah. It's just that simple. Yeah. He's one of a few bass singers who is really clear, sharp, and precise when he sings down low. All right. There's a whole bunch of bass singers out there that you'll find on YouTube where it's like, yeah, you can get down there, but it's real muddy and kind of like indistinct. It's kind of like, you know, a number of them, it's like, whenever they sing low, they're just singing notes because that's easier. Yeah. Whereas Jeff can basically sing and talk all the way down there. Yeah. Clearly sing and talk. Yeah. What's this for, YouTube? I know, it's just one of those, what else can you really say? I mean, obviously, he's fantastic at voice play. But it just shows how good of a talent he is. That, you know, he can play well with himself just as he can with others. Yeah. It's not only easy, you know, doing the bass and practically subharmonic work, but you can also pull off tenor as well. Yeah. So, you know, he gives himself a range and a photocopier. Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice, Emanuel, shall come to thee. He actually had it, didn't he, this time he didn't, um, his, um, himselves weren't, um, in costumes. That's true. He usually has them all in different things. Yeah, but then it kind of becomes with a song like that. Yeah. It is a bit hokey if you're, if you're, you know, dressing yourself in costumes. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's so good with, like I said, doing that, you know, multiplying himself singing the other parts and stuff, you know. And just having that bass. Yeah, not just, not just singing your, figuring out and singing your own part, he's, you know, figuring out and singing his own part as well, and his own part and his own part and his own part. Five times over. Yeah. So it's kind of like, yeah, you're, you're, you're doing a minimum five takes of exactly the same thing. Yeah. And that's, if you luck out, I've managed to, you know, nail the whole thing on the first take, which 99% of the time does not happen. If you ever try to record anything, 99% of the time, you're going to screw up, uh, especially if you're singing, uh, really notice it with live performances. So you start watching, you know, performances live and it's kind of like, hmm, hmm, that was off, you know? Yeah. Players, you know, guitar players play the wrong note, play the wrong chord. Half the time you don't even notice that though. Yeah. Half the time they don't notice it. I mean, shoot this tip, you know, if you look around on the internet, you'll find concerts where, you know, one of the members of the band is accidentally playing the entirely wrong song and stuff. That stuff. Big name mess. That happens. So yeah, I mean, the amount of work that goes into this, these, just because it's just him is incredible. Yeah. And he's a great singer. Yeah. He's good. So we're definitely going to react to him some more, so if you want to see those. And also we've combined our other two channels into one or moving them over onto one. It's everything nostalgia, 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. So if you're subscribed to any of those, make sure you go subscribe to the new one. Yes. So those are going to eventually just disappear completely. YouTube. So that being said, comment. Yeah. Well, you never did your bit. Yes, I did. Did you? I did it before you started waffling. Nevermind. Comments, suggestions down below. And if you hit the notification bell, YouTube will tell you when we do the suggestions. Is that you commented down below? Did not hear you say like and subscribe. Yeah. If you'd like to hear us rambling on about nothing, stay on this channel. So until next time, thanks for watching.
