Hey Qofy! I am a current member of Vocal Point. Though I was not a member of the group during the music video, it has always been my favorite arrangement of the song and I’m so grateful to sing perform it currently. Thank you so much for the reaction!

It's a powerfully written arrangement. It's just so crisp and clear and simple sounding yet full of melodic complexity. Tingles down the spine.

My son wanted to be a member of Vocal Point years ago but his life took a different turn. They were performing in our town and they graciously let him sing bass with them for this song. I'm so glad I have the video of it.

That’s my uncle, James, on the solo!! He wrote this arrangement for BYU Vocal Point when we was their director years ago 🥰 crazy to see how many lives it’s changed since he showed us the first draft of it years ago. this was so fun to watch!! Thank you!! 💛

This is my favorite version. I love BYU Vocal Point and that they added the Men’s Chorus to this was an awesome choice. James, the soloist, actually wrote this arrangement and originally performed it. He’s a BYU vocal point alum. I’ve enjoyed all of their videos so far, and it’s interesting to see the change of vocalists over the years. Also, it’s Latin.

Even cooler, the sheet music for this arrangement is completely free everywhere you find it, because James says it came to him as a gift from God and therefore it belongs to everyone. Whether you believe in God or not, that's still an awesome thing to do.

So BYU Vocal Point is a men’s a capella group and one year competed against Pentatonix on The Sing Off. If you loved this song you should react to Vocal Point It Is Well with My Soul. Their rendition is absolutely breathtaking and emotional!

My brother, instead of shaking it off, let it take you away. If you choose to experience the whole thing, the entirety of all it has to offer. You deserve the whole experience.❤️ Idk ur work; today was the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. I’m thinking that you’re a singer, the way that you did that “third eye open” thing as the soloist started to sing. The background “In Articulo Mortis”song is being sung in Latin. “Nearer my God to Thee” will never be the same again. It was a real pleasure watching your short reactionary analysis

Music...good music...the kind that moves your soul to a higher ground...that kind of music, well, we just cannot help but have our emotions connect our minds with our hearts. I have had this happen to me numerous times and with different genres of music too (it's not because of the content of words that they are singing, but the quality of the harmonies that they sing together that makes us emotional). That "wow" out of the blue arrow just hits the target dead center. I agree with Iris, who said "your discriminating ear never fails you"... it is your ability to hear all the parts individually and simultaneously that sets this reaction apart from all of the others. You're the best QoFy! You amaze me again and again.

This is one of my top favourite songs of all time thanks to this arrangement (though I first heard it done by monster tenor Tim Waurick, who did a solo version of this, I can really recommend checking out his solo work, as well as his work with his Barbershop quartet Vocal Spectrum, specifically their version of Good Vibrations. He has one of the most insane vocal ranges ever, he can go nearly as low as Matt of PTX and up beyond counter tenor, rivalling full on sopranos). The Latin counter melody is so awesome I can barely express it in words, it gives the song an absolutely amazing vibe!

@QoFyReacts - You have a new fan! 🙋🏽‍♀ I just found your reaction video after watching the original for the 100th time. ☺ I love your musical insights, & watching you smile & be moved by the spirit brought me joy as well! I cannot watch this song without a tissue. It expresses the desire of my heart… to be nearer to God. 🫶 Another favorite Vocal Point cover is “It Is Well With My Soul”. Make sure you read the tragic & true story behind the song, written by Horatio Spafford in 1873. 2023 marks the 150th anniversary of it being written. Bless you! Can’t wait to see your other videos!

The polyphonic layering of this song brings the power to inspire and connect to your sophisticated soul within you. To get the full emotional breadth you must seek to understand the meaning conveyed in BOTH songs witnessing to you of truth in the beauty of sound and harmony. Down In the comments of KZfaq Vocal Point versions they have the Latin lyrics and the translation into English which is powerfully triumphant in meaning as well as sublime! Worth it to seek the understanding as you listen again. Check out the meaning of the two songs sung on top of each other to buoy you up with eternal optimism …come what may! You can walk through any trial if you can maintain the divine power of heaven that infuses your soul as you listen to this and contemplate its meaning!

You are like me every time I listen to this! I’m rearranging it for a small Christmas event and this is possibly one of my favorite songs of all times. Insane skill and soul, not considering the “chorus” part (“angels do beckon me” i.e.) is so modern and so ancestral, as you say. It’s insane. Loved your reaction, can feel you bro. Take care! Marco
