I’ve fought major depressive disorder for almost 30 years now, and this song and your reaction really touched me. Thank you for this.

This is a live-in-the-studio version that was used for an appearance on a talk show. It's missing a lot of the audio effects of the official studio version, but that doesn't hurt it at all (in some ways, I prefer this version). It's now being used as the official video of the song. This one was written primarily by Kirstie, but she gave everyone a chance to shine on it. Anyone who follows Pentatonix knows that Kirstie went thru several personal traumas in the last few years, and the songs she contributed to this album were obviously quite therapeutic for her. The entire Lucky Ones album is a real masterpiece. ALL the songs are brilliantly done and obviously have a lot of personal meaning to the group members.

What a wonderful heartfelt reaction and reminder of being there for each other❤️❤️❤️

They made a conscious decision to make this entire album personal and most of the songs deal with aspects of mental health. They are so catchy and very mainstream but the lyrics *they wrote* are amazing in and of themselves. It's really too bad that the pandemic stunted any real promotion they could have done, but is so Pentatonix of them to release it during the pandemic anyway. Because, yanno, it's so relevant to the time and what the fans needed this year.

Thank you so much for your kindness.... the phone numbers as copyright blockers, the reminder you gave and repeated to not be afraid to ask for help, and to táke that help when given, and gíve that help when needed. I'm glad someone pulled you by your bootstraps when needed so you can spread this wise advise now. This truly is the power of music: it connects in a way nothing else can.

No words needed..... You are, and will Always be, a Good Man, Father, Husband and Veteran!! You are an Inspiration!! Thank You for Your Service!! Kudos!!

YOU, my friend, are SO cool…obviously a strong man willing to show emotion and vulnerability! Maybe there is hope for mankind after all…That said, a wonderful song and the perfect reaction!

You should react to Mitch, he did a solo cover of Billie eilish power. I read comments on the KZfaq video and apparently a woman watched the video and decided not to commit suicide. Her words were heart breaking, but she got huge support from internet strangers. Mitch did the backing track and did everything himself, but a friend of his did the filming, and they did it on the roof of his house. It's powerful.

Great reaction. Thanks. I'm glad that you had people in your life who loved you when you didn't.

My hubby came back from a year in Iraq 17 years ago with awful PTSD + physical injuries, & life is so hard for him. Thank you for your service, and for putting your heart out here for those who are struggling to know they are not alone. God bless you. BTW, the whole album The Lucky Ones deals with mental health issues. I hope you will continue to react to the songs on it. XO

Thank you for your reaction talking about how this song affected you. We all need someone to be there with love when we have dark moments. I don’t have problems but know people who do and it can be really hard. Thank you again.

First of all, thank you for your service. Secondly, I appreciate your heartfelt comments as this song hit me pretty hard also. Definitely need a support group in these trying times 💕

You are such a compassionate person and the world could use more people like you! THANK YOU for coming back to your channel and THANK YOU for your service! We love you too!! 🥰

Thank you for your reaction... this is an emotional song about someone struggling and having someone that supports them even in the darkest times. I hope and wish that everyone has such a person.

This song reminds me of a dear friend who "loved me when I didn't". She helped me through the darkest time in my life. This song is so special to me. I love that the video is bright and cheery with flowers and the members are in all white. The tempo is upbeat and Kirstie smiles throughout the song. The positivity is spot on. Well done. Again.

Lost my 15 yo daughter, my unique child, 10 years ago now... I've been a wreck for long, but I was helped, and I'm so thankful for that. And, truly, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ❤️❤️

Love your reactions and your words it is so true always be kind and love and you can't go wrong

You're awesome. Truly a rock solid human. I surprisingly managed to hold back the tears during the song, but your message after the music got me. I'm sending hugs and love from Texas. Thank you.

My hubby of 30 yrs died 2 years ago, and ive only managed to get thru it with pentatonix and their reactors, ive seen more than a few of your reactions, and enjoyed your heart and enjoyment of PTX, but this one made happy, because of your caring. Their album, can make me cry, with awe, their voices, the lyrics, their arrangements and feel happy and lifted at the same time. THank you so much, for the reaction, for the soul showing through, and for your service.

Thank you for your service.

So glad I checked out your reaction. I listen to the Lucky Ones in the car each day and had not processed this song so deeply. Thank you and PTX. We need, from you all, this transparency and compassion!

No, YOU'RE Awesome! Pentatonix and Avi's solo music have helped me a lot in the last few months. The road you're talking about makes itself vaguely visible sometimes, it's dark and wayyyy over there now. Avi's music has helped me so so much when I just need to stop thinking so much. Thanks for the heartfelt reaction. You rock, you know? 💚💚💚

Loved your words at the end.. thank you for that! Awesome reaction as usual, you're a great guy 😊

Perfect time to watch this - while literally cutting onions! I was in a very dark place a few months ago. I turned to youtube to listen to the ole classics. I accidentally discovered reactors. I thought it was silly at first - but got sucked in the rabbit hole. It’s good to connect with other real people. Thank you. ☮️

First, thank you for your service! Next, thank you for a unique and heartfelt reaction to this beautiful (message) song! I appreciate not only your reaction to Pentatonix, but including your own message of hope and support, as well as the support information you included. Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you. Sometimes we all just need to know that we’re not alone and that we do not have to suffer alone ❤️

First of all, thank you so so much for your service! Secondly, thank you for being a class act. You gave permission for so many people who don’t think they are worthy to be good to themselves and find help for the troubles they are facing. Thank you for reiterating again and again that’s OK to feel the way you do and to know there are people out there who care for you always. I am an oncology nurse in an outpatient clinic setting and consider myself to be a fairly upbeat person, but recently we have lost a number of patients whom I have been very close to and it has rocked my heart and head space. Being able to escape with the beautiful music of PTX,especially on their new album, has been a soul soother. Thank you for your wonderful and heartfelt reactions! Keep up the good work! Peace to your soul brother 💜

There's just an album cover for the video but I think you would enjoy "Never gonna cry again" which reference the stuff that Mitch has been going through on social media and how the internet generally is to people who put themselves out there. it's a wonderful song and Matt goes all sorts of crazy on it.

Thank you, thank you for your service!

What a nice lovely person you are sir!

This is an alternate video edit of the performance that first aired on The Kelly Clarkson Show. It's basically "pandemic live". This was a live recorded performance that was creatively edited into a visually dynamic video.

Kirstin was on Scott and Rozzi's podcast last week and this week. Scott mentioned that Kirstin wrote a majority of the Lucky Ones. She co wrote this.

Another good one and thank you for your service.

It's another amazing song, and kirstin killing it again

This is one of your best. The song is good, but you are what made this so good! I know you have to break of the video so KZfaq doesn’t block it, but 6:27 is the best way you’ve done that. The song played, but the video was split. More like that!! Great job, Rock!!

WOW, my army brothers were always there for me. You gave new meaning to this song for me. You have me totally wrecked. Thank you bro.

Beautiful message, both from PTX and from you! Love you brother! You were getting me all choked up! I've been on that path, and I've been there for my son and daughter. I am also happy to talk to anyone who needs help, even if it's just to listen.

Great Reaction as Usual!!!! Thank You So Much For Your Service!!!! My New Boyfriend is Also a Veteran!!!! I've had a hard life, i was abused for 24 years in my 1st marriage, but I stayed for my children, then in my 2nd marriage he Gaslighted me & cheated on me. So I Have PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, & Extremely Low Self Esteem!!!! And almost 6 years ago, I had a Nervous Breakdown and Didn't Realize what I Had Tried to Do, But Thank God it Didn't Work and I'm Still Here!!!! My Boyfriend who just started out as my Bestfriend was My Rock last year especially when I lost my Daddy!!!! I Feel like the Luckiest Woman in the World because he is now my boyfriend!!!!

Being bipolar I can relate to this song also. If it wasn't for my family I surely wouldn't have made it to 62 and hopefully a lot longer! Loved your heartfelt reaction! Thanks for serving our country!

Hello! Thank you for your message... Meaning the world to me. And, You're loved!

Thank you for the beautiful message you gave that supports the message of the song. Let someone help you when you are struggling, and then be there to uplift someone else if you can. Blessings.

Love your smile

Thank you so much for your words and reaction. ❤ This hit me right in the feels. 🥺

Wonderful reaction. This has been a tough year for many of us, and music and songs like this can lighten the day. Two other songs that do this for me are Avi's Quarter Past Four and PTX Light in the Hallway. When I can't sleep, they really help.

You are an amazing human. I always look forward to your reactions. Thank you for all you do on KZfaq and thank you for your service.

Always love your reactions...very genuine. ☺️

I battle untreated depression. I don't have friends where I live but have a few I connect with online who love me when I don't. Love your reactions. Thank you for your service! ❤

My Bad, my army brothers and sisters always had my back. OMG you have me in tears/

As someone who is Bipolar II Manic, I sometimes have bad days despite my medication. Today I was having a bad day. I watched your reaction and now I'm better. Thanks so much.

♥️♥️♥️

Wonderful reaction,thank you.

Everyone can relate...

Love your honest heartfelt reaction❤️

🖖

Amazing, genuine reaction to a great song with a great message ♥️

Hone Free did a collab of "One Voice" with Billy Gillman that is so beautifully musical, but it has a heart wrenching message. Welcome back!! I really enjoy your reactions :)

Good stuff...

Great reaction! Heard that Kirstin was involved in writing this song.

If you have a look at this it might explain the reasoning behind a couple of Kirstin's songs on the album. Kirstin Maldinado "It's OK to Say" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brFooK99up_DgXU.html

Its very disheartening to be that person for so many others throughout my life but when MY life gets turned upside down, outside of the occasional text msg, there's no one around 🤷‍♀️

It’s not really live but it says that because it was on Jimmy Kimmel.
