HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I know I know I know I said "Sound of Silence" was on the way, and it is (at some point) but when we realized that it was already November and the holidays were barreling towards us at the speed of greased gravy, we pivoted. And then we got hit with a hurricane. And then I had several very bad hang nails and a lot of geriatric cat poo to clean up. So needless to say, this song isn't that song, but it's a good song, or at least I hope it is. 

Now, I know what you're thinking, and we can discuss my methods of cat sanitation later but for now let's stay on topic. I've recorded "White Christmas"  before with VoicePlay but after repeat listenings to that version, it seemed to me that it could use a bit of freshening up, and I'm always happy to oblige my own whims. 

So here we are, with yet another, holiday upon us, and another tune in the history books that we've created together. I really do love these dusty old songs, almost as much as I love my dusty old cat. 

Happy Christmas everyone and enjoy the video!

Very nice sir! Definitely adding this to the Christmas playlist.

Rachel Blackthorne

Geoff, I'm in awe...you've hit one of those notes that melts my brain again...it's like you've found my reset button...

Alex

I say this every time but so far this is my favorite... oh my gosh this is so good

Jordi S

LOVED your version and the video!!!! 💕💕💕💕

The Spirit of Christmas came to me, and it's not even december where I live yet. Beautiful, Geoff. As everything you do <3 thanks!

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

Yay! Good arrangement, well performed and a lot of fun! 🎁🎄🎅🏻🧑‍🎄👍

Georgia Oliver

This has to be one of the most beautiful things I've listened to all year! Amazing work as always Geoff + Kathy <3

Maggie Jaskot

Ummm......who gave you the right to make something this fantastic?! <3

Ashley Evers

I have thought several times in the last few weeks, I love that Geoff did 'White Christmas', but it's going to be awkward trying to explain why there's a speech about being chased by an elf in it if I actually add it to a playlist to share :) This is perfect.

Jamie T.

Loved it. Beautiful and fun at the same time. I just know my mom was watching with me from Heaven. Nothing could stop her from enjoying your music. 💖

Tine

This is such a fresh spin on a classic holiday tune. Really enjoy that. Thank you, Geoff!!

Dee Years

Geoff, absolutely beautiful! I love 💕 it more than the original, your version is such much fun! Please have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and your family! BTW way I have to tell you I was totally shocked when my 22 year old grandson told me he knew who you were and even knows many of your songs 🎤 by heart! Love 💕 Dee

Els Peeters (=jopperke)

Such fun!!!! Love the effects and the expressions the Geofftet makes! Off to bed, dreaming of a white Christmas 😘🎄

Angie Woollard

Geoff, this is AMAZING!! So much fun, both musically and visually! Can't wait to go unpack some tasty chord choices I heard on my first run through! *rubs hands together in festive glee* You’ve put me in such a great mood with this song and video. I hope you realize how much I appreciate you. ♥️

Maggie Nystrom

I had not heard the second verse before. Thanks for including it. Have you had any white Christmas in Orlando?

Dexter R

You always seem to put a fresh and wonderful spin on things! Also this version reminded me of how my dad used to sing this in choir. He passed away last year but he would absolutely love this to bits. Thanks for doing what you do <3

Gretchen G

Please continue to oblige your whims whenever you like! Unless they tell you to eat another spicy chip. Then ignore them. 😉 Love this! On my way to go listen a bunch more times!

Chuck Brothers

The bass on this track was filthy. The stank-face came out several times. Bravo, good sir...bravo!

Jacky Friedman

Absolutely amazingly awesomely beautiful. Love love love it 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯% Love ya ❤️

Sophie Plourde

I just realized that the little tree and the postcard in the back are from Mele Kalikimaka! I love all the little touches😄

Margaret Tassey

Like butter. Here with you in Florida and no white Christmas for us either. But wonderful to hear about. Great arrangement.

Carol Franklin

It’s 1.15 am in London & that’s already made my day. I liked the VP version but tbh as Goff said this is waaay better!!! Happy Christmas to you, Kathy, William & your family ❣️

Novi Hallberg

Love this warm and thick blanket of wounderful magic christmas music 🤍❤️🤍

Caroline Larochelle

Such a funny and lovely performance! Your harmony and melody lines are simply fantastic.

Mimi Nator

Bravo! Bravo!👏👏 Your vocal range is insane!!! Thank you for making me smile! 😊

Emily

I say this every time but I love it!! This one is so cheerful, the song is great as always, and I loved all the little things in the video, the additional presents, the changing Christmas tree, everyone's clothes changing and the attitudes of the clones being shocked about this, the cards and present. This is such a happy song + video!

Beth Walsh

Love it! Here in Wisconsin we usually get our white Christmas...the white Easters are annoying though. I sympathize with the geriatric cat poo...I am dealing with geriatric dog pee. Neither is fun.

Sarah Smith

Loved it. Your voice never fails to make me smile and cheer me up. It’s like being curled up in a warm fuzzy blanket with a hot cup of coffee kind of comfort. Keep up the awesome work❤️

Tara Congo

That was just ridiculously fun. I love this so much, Geoff. Well done!! Special shout-out to the clone on the right being all peeved at not getting anything until discovering the card in his coat pocket 🤣

Caroline Larochelle

Some magic is truly emerging through this "Shenandoah" wall!

David K Ragsdale

Great job again. The only way I can think of you might have made it better would be if the hot babes that magically appeared in Mele Kalikimaka popped into it. Or maybe that would be just too much.

Christina Dowdican

THIS WAS AMAZING!!& I have to admit i love it more than the previous version. Mostly because it’s well… You & because it brought back memories of my dad whistling this song while Bing Crosby sang it on his Christmas show on TV. You breathed new life into an old song while staying true to this great classic! Thank You! ❤️😊🤶☃️🎅🏻🌲❤️❤️

Édua Elster

Your eyes makes me worry. Please take care of your Health! I hope you are just tired and it is nothing serious!

Sarah Borzelli

White Christmas got Geoffed! I always loved this song sung by Bing Crosby - so romantic. So I kinda expected something romantic - NOW I love your FUN version! Duh ruh ruh ruh duh duh! Sooo excited and blessed I could witness the hidden premiere of this GEM! It is absolutely fabulously arranged, sung and animated! White Geoff, (Goff or whoever) being permanently confused but singing heavenly high notes and runs - and the coat-Geoff being sad that he did't get a card...YOU're a MASTER! And Kathy of course, too!

AM Person

Fabulous arrangement and such a creative and fun video!!! I know where to come for my holiday cheer all month long. :-)))

Brontesaurus Rex

Hard day today, thanks very much for the giggles 💜

Lexy Wolfe (aka Pam)

I confess I'd been something of a grinch when it comes to Christmas music and the holiday in general...more so since I'd lost my husband. I'm getting a little less grinchy, and this just helps nudge me along. Shed a few tears, it was so beautiful. And the visuals were great. Just quiet, delicate little additions, but added so much to it. Thank you.

Alex

is 4:27 F#1 to G#1? Sounds lower than a G#1 but I cant tell

Wendy Allen

Loved it! Musically, bass-ically, visually and how much fun you had with it! 🎄

Janet Towles

I love this SO MUCH! It’s funny, I was running a bunch of errands today and had my VP Christmas playlist going, so I heard VP’s White Christmas like 3 times already today, lol 😆. I do think this is better! Love it, great job, love the video and the effects of everything popping in and how you matched those effects to the lyrics. Had not heard that part with the palm trees/LA, that was interesting. Nice job, proud to be a patron!

Karyn Morrison

I love your quirky videos, and as usual got spine tingles from the low notes 😄

Dawn Ours

I love the old songs too. I keep Hoping ...ok Nagging my favorite groups/individuals for an updated version of my Absolute Favorite Christmas Story/Song maybe You'll bite ? Please ?? Good King Wenceslas it's a great story it should be brought back.

Ilona Dever

Don't tell Eli and Layne, but I like this way better than Voiceplay's earlier version. This was just stunning and fun!

Lady D Richter

You could tell that added verse is an old one, cuz unless you have reclaimed water on your property, no one has been allowed to water their lawns much in L.A. for quite a while. So it's usually brown. Nonetheless, this video was quite fun and adorable! As always can't wait for a BTS!

Debbie Casler

This was fun, as well as beautiful! I totally enjoyed all of it. Thanks for the Easter eggs along the way ; ) that was cool. This version is so dreamy………(sorry). Merry Christmas Geoff, Kathy, William and all your family. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.

Angie Woollard

The key would dictate that those notes are G-A-B. There may be a little scoop up to that G, so could very well be F#-ish.

Shirley B Karr

Four Geoffs + The American Sirens = our heads would explode.

Mikki Fullerton

I loved the visual effect of the decorations, etc, appearing as the video went along, especially with how well some of them tied into the lyrics at the time. I loved the overall feel and was happy to swing along. I was a bit surprised by just how thick and juicy some of those low lead-line notes were both sung and mixed, and then when the surprise wore off I couldn't stop replaying them, they're wonderful. I can't believe you still manage to find a way to surprise using bass techniques, kudos! Fantastic way to show off how far you've come since last time you covered this song, and you did it well even then! As usual the interactions between clones were spot on and looked quite natrual and fun. So sorry Daryl's feline concerns kept him from attending, but glad someone was able to take care of the kitty. Thanks for another enjoyable tune!

Kim Taylor

You did it again! Gave an older song new life. Your talents bring joy into your fan's hearts. Very fun and upbeat. I enjoyed watching as items appeared in the video. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Amanda W

YEEES! This is brilliant! You got all those low notes in there without it sounding out of place. We got that sweet baritone feature, and some great blending, and, and, and... woah! ❤💚

Snyckerdoodle

Okay, I have two things to say. 1) I absolutely hate this song because I hate snow....being the smallest person in my class until 9th grade, I was always the one picked out for bullying and white-washings, and I was also born right around the blizzard of '78. However, that being said...2)This rendition and video did bring a great big smile and heartwarming experience to me. Thank you, Geoff, for bringing a laugh to a snowmiser like me.

Jay Fritz

Brilliant arrangement, Geoff--I could write an epic tome here about all I loved about this video, but suffice it to say that the antics, expressions, character interactions, and things showing up out of nowhere--all top shelf stuff. I wondered how it would be possible to fit a "c'mon" into White Christmas when it started, but you never disappoint! The ending for this one is outstanding. I'm so glad I found your music!

Melissa Randall

This was so much fun to watch - had to catch myself doing double takes when the Christmas "magic" would appear! Love your take on this.

Alyssa Daniels

I’m gonna go ahead and say it’s Jeff, Jeoph, Geoff, and Goff from left to right. 😂 Fantastic version! The low chest notes sound really powerful in this mix and the tenor lead was really pretty. ❤️💚🤍

Shruti Mohan

This was indeed very fun to watch and listen to, thanks heaps for this version, it always brings a joy to watch and listen to your music. You brought out the joy of this time of year

Trisha

Good lord man! That bass rattled my walls! Another great one!

Larry Haynes

This was so lighthearted and fun while certainly giving the Holiday feel goods. Loved how the decorations kept appearing as the song progressed. The range on the vocals was insane!Merry Bassmas to you Sir Geoff of The Subterranean Tones. 🎄🎶

Sue Armstrong

Oooh, a new round of Spot the Gramaphone! I don't think I need to put up Christmas decorations this year, I'll just play this when I feel the urge--very festive and classy. And bassy!!

Cupcake aka Toni

This is so good! The only thing missing is Tony's Christmas goose! 😉

J.L.

Now imagine if Darryl had walked in at the end in a long beard and coat and a sack of presents... Not sure if you actually could feel more manly, but hey, those were your own words on Ghost Riders in the Skies, Geoff... ^_^

Shirley B Karr

🤣🤣 Part of what made that bit so funny was Geoff's totally innocent expression.

Suzy Bailey

Merry Bassmas indeed! What a wonderfully fun, arrangement. I loved the slow addition of decorations and clothing, your expressions (as always) were hilarious and perfectly timed and sneaking in that little 'c'mon' made me giggle. I didn't think you could possibly make me go OMG any more, but the way you so easily slipped those bass drops in and that oh so pretty tenor lead, did just that. Thank you Geoff, this is pure joy. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🌲🎼😀💜

candi lunsford

I really hate it when I can't make the premiere but this will give me something great to go to sleep with after a long day. Loved this arrangement! Happy Holidays Castellucci family!

Lourdes Sanz

Wow!!! Just loved it!! Must confess I don”t really care so much for this song, 🥴 but your cover will put it in my favorites” list again!! 🥰

Mia

Torn between the bass and the tenor. Absolutely lovely and highly enjoyable. At last I'm feeling the season. Love it ♥️

Amanda Nott

Amazing range! I enjoyed it very much!

Emily Houk

So awesome! I love the range you had on the song so it didn't seem just monotone! I remember asking my daddy, once, why he took a hymn and put it an octave lower in his bass part of the quartet and his answer was..."because I can" :p Thanks for sharing!!!!

Scott Boa

I can't stop listening to this. I love this. 👏👏👏

Jacklinka

Really really nice and I enjoyed to follow after "what appears next" props :)

Amanda Yarbro

I just have to say I love your user name! LOL Just ate a Snickerdoodle as a matter of fact!

Amanda Yarbro

HOLY CRAP GEOFF!! You did it again! Thanks for "bassing it out" for us! There's nothing bad about the song or video!! How long was that last bass note?!?

Gillian Drysdale

was that little Christmas tree the one from Mele Kalikimaka it looked like it? Loved this aonly thing missing was Daryl! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Christine Stromberg

Oh boy, this is fantastic. I remember the other version, done by VoicePlay and loved that one, it was a lot of fun. I thought you sounded a lot like Bing Crosby in that version, but this one is much more interesting, musically, and still fun. Beautifully done, sir. :)

Chantal Lardeau

It's very beautiful a new time. Thank you

Lori Lundy

Amazing! Loved it🎄

cornelia kern

I like it! Very sweet and apealing visuals with the slow glow up of the Backround and costumes. And fantastic arrangement! Your shur are capable of sugarcoating this old Song with your voice, making it something new an amazing :-D

Hilde

Feels like I've missed a video here 😂

Sarah Borzelli

I know I know I know and I know and I see it isn't sound of silence but it IS the sound of Geoff Castellucci so what else are you looking for? Now after watching it several times I appreciate everything even more! My daughter loves the video and we have to rewind and rewatch all the appearing details over and over again. Doo roo roo roo doo doo doo doo doo...soo catchy, now I have earworms so THANK you!

Mardette

Merry Christmas! Words elude me. I too have a best cat friend. Dave watched the video with me. He said, " Now that's the cat's meow." Truly your singing and the added pep to the song is appreciated and BEAUTIFUL.

Glynda

I have been feeling really un-Christmas-ee this year, and I am so glad that yours was the first Christmas song that I have heard so far! LOVE IT! Thanks for the smiles ,,

ObscureReferenceWoman

Oh, wow. I missed the premiere last night (I work late, 2 hour time difference, etc.) But you just started off my early morning the best way possible. Love the arrangement, the video, the whole thing! Thanks for actually putting the verse in, too, a lot of people don't know that part! Brilliant as always, and now I feel like I can start the holiday season. Thank you again, and Happy Christmas to you and yours!

Patricia Schuman

What a fantastic version, with the cherry on top being the inclusion of part of the seldom-heard verse. I remember first hearing that on Barbra Streisand's A Christmas Album, released in 1967. Bing Crosby was of course the one who made the song famous in the first place, and he apparently never included the verse until his Christmas special in 1968. Kudos once again for bringing a new charm and verve to an old song, while never being different just for the sake of being different.

Debs Badger

They're referring to the video for VoicePlay's version of this song.

Chrissy Lee

Thx for making it feel more like Christmas, great job as always. Loved the idea of the music video, to make it gradually seem more like Christmas. Great job with arrangement as well, I just love the tone of your voice, happy Christmas to you as well

Debs Badger

I'm sure he didn't want to start a cliche of "Geoff's Christmas Song with the American Sirens (again)." I'm sure he'll collaborate with them again in the future.

Sarah Borzelli

Sorry to crowd up the comment section but I have some comments of my daughter (she is 8) I wanted to share coz I think its funny: In the beginning: "why are they so boring" then as soon as the doo doo started she started grinning - "why isn't he opening the present" then later "but WHY isn't he opening it!" - then about the coat-Goff: "aaaww he got a card, too - now he's reading it...oh the card says oooooh, aaaaahh!" - that made me laugh so hard! And then I have a whish for Christmas: when I die I want the angels choir to be like this please! especially the white-Jeoph woah!

Patricia Schuman

I guess that was Goff's payback for the snarky "Misty Mountains Cold was waaaaay better!" remark, he had to work a lot harder to find his card.

Ashfae

Fantastic! This was so catchy and fun to groove to, lovely to hear an upbeat happy version of the song.

Lauren Mart

As the carer of a geriatric cat myself, I get it. Sending happiness to you and yours - especially the kitty - and we'll love the songs whenever the songs happen.

Snyckerdoodle

Thank you! There is a sad history behind it, but the reason I originally liked it was to make people smile and snicker.

Tracie Schlaak

I really, really, really, really love this. Great job, Geoff!

Mona Iren Hugaas

Since I heard this earlier today, I've been going around singing 'Durum, do do do do do, durum'. Thank you so much for this new twist on an old classic.

Biene

First thought: jazzy white christmas?!? Several seconds into the song: yeah, jazzy white christmas!!!

Hunter

First I was like: “Oh, that song? I thought you already did it…then I was like: oh, how’s he going to do it? Finally I was like: Ah. THAT IS HOW YOU DID IT. And a job well done!

Xinth

!!!!

Lutra2732

Fantastic! Now I‘m in the perfect mood for Christmas 🎄! Thank you!

Jahnie Khoury

I love this. Now I'm ready for Christmas. Fantasic as always, Geoff.

Leisa S

❤️❤️❤️Love it as always. Only disappointed with the 16 hour time difference 🤭. I only discovered VoicePlay and Geoff this year and I have created a playlist that I listen to everyday, I’m going to make another playlist just for Christmas songs🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄Thank you

Ann Durham

That was my lineup, too. Jeoph tends to be the goofy one.

Dani

This song is like grumpygreenunjolly-christmas medicin that makes you smile, feel jolly and badum da do do do through your day. It is very infectious and wonderful. Thank you very much for the early christmas present (and sorry for the not being present with presents at the presentation) and all the warmth and happiness it brings. Have a wonderful christmas with your loved ones🎄✨️💜 And for the problem with the cat poo.....I know some fancy-funny janitors who can clean-dance your house🕺🕺🕺🕺

Lois McCray

I have so many lists. I have a Christmas list, a Halloween list, and a reg list. I also have one for his book narrations. Same with VoicePlay.

Lois McCray

Loving this and maybe next year you will think about this one. It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas needs some bass.

SunnyOutlook

This is wonderful! I loved the playfulness of it. (I was starting to feel a little sad for Jeoph because it looked like he wasn't going to get anything. At least I think that was Jeoph. You all look so alike. LOL!) This song really puts me in the mood for sleigh bells, jingle bells, white Christmas dreams, with candy canes and snowflakes wrapped in angels' wings. What a way to bring in the holiday spirit!!

Alyssa Daniels

He seemed like the one that would lick a toilet brush 😂

Ashley Evers

Yep, me too. I mean, the Christamas and Halloween songs are all on the normal list too, but I do have the option to specialize :)

Veronika Troll

Wow soooo creative arrangement. I really love it. And the video is amazing as well:)

Michael

Very nice! But to add something different: It might sound weird and counter-intuitive but I appreciate the relatively little usage of those super low notes. Let me explain! In recent years of VoicePlay/Geoff-Jeff-Jeoph-Goff magic, there where more and more of them (maybe also because subharmonics make them easier to slide in), which made the individual notes feel less special and surprising than they were before, when there were maybe 3-4 lows in a video - but those felt more intentional and because you kinda had to wait for them to happen, they have left a bigger impression on the listener. Back to today, also seeing it in recent VoicePlay videos, I appreciate how it slowly finds its way back to some sort of balance, satisfying all the low-note-nerds while still not overloading (as I feel about it) the music. I like it. Thank you!

Suzy Bailey

I agree Lois, but then I think everything needs some Geoff bass! 😀

Lois McCray

In the BTS video of VoicePlay's new Christmas video, he sings a line or two of it. Such a tease.

Tony Friend

Absolutely amazing! (as to be expected), mind blown but thankfully not my sub blown ;)

Jen Fraley

Well darn. I missed it.

Tara Congo

There's a good chance (hopefully) that he'll post a new link - sounds like someone publicly shared the original link, unfortunately, based on his newest post.

Dana

for some reason, reading him saying he loves his dusty old cat made me go all kersniffly. it has been a long year so far this month.
