Year 2 of Lockdown, Day 3

[elisi]

Only one thing today, but it sort of deserves to stand alone. It is possibly the best reaction video I have ever seen, and not just because the reactor's jaw drops and then STAYS dropped for about five minutes straight.

Watch on YouTube

Even if you are not keen on stuff like this, it'll be worth your while. Partly just for the performance he is watching, which I had never seen before and which is great. But mostly because of what the reactor takes away from it. ♥

How it ties in with lockdown is that this made me realise the one thing I really, really want to do once All This Is Over is go to a proper classical concert.

It is an amazing performance! When I first saw it too, I never realized that the score actually used human voices to do that iconic part of the song! (Does the movie soundtrack actually use a woman singing or is it a different instrument... I actually don't know)

You never watched those DNSO videos I sent you did you?

All three of the Sergio Leone movie themes. Got a whole file, with most of the music they did for a Night at the Movies concert(s - there may have been more than one).

Ended up getting into a rabbit hole after watching this; including a hip-hop fan falling in love with ABBA, and a Yoyoka reaction vid I'd not seen before.

Wow, you really weren't kidding.

Same! Like... Oh, it's a human voice! Is that... how they did the original also?? Fascinating.

Apparently not! Sorry. :( I do wish there were more hours in the day...

Cool - I'll see if I can find them.

It's a lovely rabbit hole. And I love people widening their horizons and embracing something they were not familiar with before.

No false advertising here! :)

That was awesome!

Isn't it just? I love how utterly transformative art can be. <3

OMG, I love his reactions! And he is so open and honest. What he doesn't know, he asks questions about. He shows such love and admiration for music. This is just so much about this young man that I adore! Thank you for sharing this with us. He is EPIC!

*HUGS*

EDIT: BTW, last 'classical' concert I went to was Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 'Beethoven's Last Night'. It still is with me. There is a definite difference between rock/metal concerts (which are awesome!) and classical (which has a different level of awesome on its own). But TSO combines both and...yeah, wanna see them live again for sure! I would love to see his reactions to Trans Siberian Orchestra as a matter of fact...

:O :O :O I am deeply, deeply jealous.

Mmmm. That would be a jaw drop for sure.
