I don't know that there's a greater vocal talent that that of those who rely only on one another and the vocals that they contribute. These guys are beyond amazing in my opinion 💗
They kept the video simple to keep focus on the complexity of the vocals. There's a lot going on in this arrangement. This one really shows their "skills". Their harmony, the unison, the synchronization, the arrangement - just perfect! Those who have had any kind of music education, whether it be singing, band, piano, guitar, or any music lessons, can really "appreciate" this one. Thx so much for the reaction!
Absolutely LOVE Homefree. Not cause I'm a lady but because their blend of voices, sense of timing and showmanship is divine. Try Butts Remix, such country fun!!
Yes, it gets kind of old and annoying when some people imply that only women must enjoy Home Free just because they happen to be an all-male a cappella group, or just because someone prefers other kinds of music. I find it interesting that you don't usually see judgments like that thrown towards all-male bands that play instruments.
One of the greatest aspects of Home Free is their simplicity in their videos. They always have this refreshing feeling with their visuals, not only this particular song, but in their other videos as well. Heck their "Butts Remix" and "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" are some of their most hilarious acts, ever! One of my personal favorites, and definitely a feel good cover they did is "My Church".
Don’t forget “Champagne Taste”! It’s a great song, written by Tim Foust, & they have so much fun doing it! I love the Butts Medley, Try Everything, All About That Bass, Dive Bar Saints, When You Walk In, & what was the one they did the video of that the video was essentially a spoof about a movie where they were in the bowling alley? I didn’t see that movie, so I can’t remember it. These guys are absolutely fantastic!!! Their talents blow my mind, & they are not just singers, writers, & performers, they are incredible ENTERTAINERS!!! They have great comedic timing, & they enjoy entertaining the audience & making the audience laugh, song with them, & have fun! I love Home Free! #HomeFryForLife
The poetry in the lyrics is just that - and you are meant to wonder and think. Kudos to CSN in that this poetry is cross-generational. Home Free did a wonderful job keeping with the spirit of the original song and their harmonies are so wonderful and impeccable. These guys are worth listening to !
Thank you for your reaction. Their diversity of genres, complexity of arrangements, astounding individual ranges, serious to hilarious videos ... their TALENT should impress you, as it has millions of music fans.
It's a great day for Fries!!!..Thank you for more Home Free! I kinda thot they presented this pretty much the same way they approached it....basically a "show piece"...a perfect song to show off each of their awesome voices AND their well known beautiful, tight harmonies as a group!? More Home Free!!...we can never hear too much!:)
they are one person , two together meaning they don't lose their individuality, three they are a unit and individual for each other I think it is a beautiful line. Great reaction, You should do Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget. Home Free. It's original
Thanks that was great 👍🏻 Chance who opened the song Directed this and Tim Foust’s Bass is Super crazy Cool 😎 Please react to their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow it’s on Fire 🔥
As someone who has NO formal musical training, and one that has some stage time, I am in AWE of the way that Home Free can paint a song! There is a quality of color in all of their renditions of various songs. A Great quantity of Skill and love of the sound of music and of the human voice.
Thanks for the reaction. i haven't heard anything these guys do that I don't like. Something a little more upbeat that you might like is great cover of The OJay's old tune.. "Love Train".
What I love about Home Free, is their ability to do "serious" songs, "comical songs," and through out, they are excellent technically. Plus they always seem to be having a good time, which puts a smile on my face every time. Thank you for reacting to this.
SWEET!!!!! Another Home Free song!!! They did a version of Man of constant sorrow that I think you would like. The guy who started the song is Chance, the baritone; than came Rob the tenor; next was Austin the high tenor, Adam who is actually the beat boxer also can sing tenor and Tim Foust is the bass, he has a 5 octave voice range. Just for a little info about the group, they were formed in Minnesota by Adam and his brother Chris who left the band in 2016, he was replaced by Chance.
I agree.. i believe they did the simplistic video to keep 100% focus on the vocals... they are an acapella group.. the vocals are the glitz and glamour for the video. i think Tim (who arranged this song for the group) wanted to simply let the vocals shine. This was a great tribute to CSN in the way they performed the song.
This is another one of the songs that they covered that makes you think. Besides their awesome singing, did you notice that Adam Rupp, the beat boxer was singing? He won't take any lead, or solo parts feeling that he has no training in singing, but the few times he has actually been heard his voice is really nice. So he sings, but not right out front. Man of constant Sorrow is going to be one of their best all time covers I think. I'm torn though because the video is wonderful, but the live performance (I believe I've posted the link before, but if not I will again at the end here) proves a couple of points. They can make these various "noises" without instruments, and are wonderful singers live. I fell that way with their cover of 9 to 5 also. The beat boxing section in the live version is awesome! Thank you, I'm enjoying your reactions! I'll post the link below.
thanks for the great reaction. chance the one who open is a baritone, the second singer was rob he is a tenor, the third singer was austin he is a high tenor, the fourth singer was tim he is a super bass with a 5 octave range and the last was adam he is a freak of nature lol he is the beat boxer but when he sings he is a tenor. I love all of home frees songs but i suggest in the blood,how great thou art,9 to 5.
OK, This was basically put together by Adam Chance. Yes it is so simple and moving. That verse you are in a quandary about has been explained thus: The guy who wrote it was in love with Judy Blue Eyes. They were on the verge of breaking up. One person --- the man: we are two along -- a couple: we are three together (includes her child, making a family): we are for each other (meant for each other). That is the basic explanation. I'm sure their are so many interpretations anybody could come up with for their own circumstances but this is what the writer intended. His use of alliteration would be a bit cloying if it weren't for the simplicity of the melody. One of my favorite of their songs, and this cover is perfection.
Please listen to Home Free's 'How Great Thou Art". As a vocalist and a former accapella singer, I can honestly say this is the best version of any accapella performed by a group I have ever heard! Tim Foust is the bass, and have can sing all the way up to a high soprano (his highest is an A flat 5), a full soprano can sing from C4 to C6. Adam "Chance" is the baritone, he sings bass when Tim is singing lead. He also has an impressive range, he can sing from the 1st octave up to the 5th octave. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer/drummer in the group and sings on certain songs. When he beatboxes, he will go down to the bass line and up to falsetto (at least to the 4th octave, possibly the 5th). When he does sing, it appears that he is singing the tenor line, perhaps a tenor 2. If anyone on here knows what part he is singing I would love to know what you think! Rob Lindquist is the lead tenor and how I imagine angels in heaven sound like! And Austin Brown is the high tenor, with a voice of gold!
@@RockN2Country What is fascinating to me is that they have been invited to play at Ryman and even the Opry a half-dozen times in the last 2-3 years. Their last show it was tweeted that Little Big Town watched their set from offstage. They've recorded with Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers and Charlie Daniels. So close to breaking though?
Because Home Free is so talented its sometimes hard to remember that they do not use instruments. Vocals only. The group is made up of Tim Foust, their incredible base who can sing as high as the tenors and lower than humanly possible, there is their baritone..a step up from the bass, but who can sing bass when needed, two tenors, and a beat boxer who actually sang in this song. Every song they do showcases a different talent from one of the guys. Keep them coming.
Seeing as you are a country channel how about checking out their "Sold" or their "It's a great day to be alive" both of those should be well known to you in the country music community.
Just to show you their influence on a capella worldwide, you need to check out their arrangement of this song done by a quarantined Italian Youth Choir. I can guarantee they are playing Rome on their next world tour.
Thanks for your reaction and please keep the Home Free reactions coming. They do a really great job with their video of man of constant sorrow where you see Adam’s beatbox abilities come into play beautifully. They also do a great job with John Mayer’s in the blood. They also do an amazing job with Trace Adkins’s I can’t out run you.
Thanks for that great reaction to Home Free !!!! They are awesome, but unbelievable live !!! There are so many great songs to pick from, try "What We Ain't Got " or "My Church"."In the Blood" is great and "How Great Thou Art" can not be left out. Filmed in the Austrian Alps it is wonderful.
Great reaction. They've got some great new ones out you should check out. They covered End of the Road by Boyz II Men and most recently It's a Great Day to Be Alive by Travis Tritt.
Love your reactions and I love Home Free!! You should react to "I Can't Outrun You"! Its a cover of a Trace Adkins song and it was directed by Chance, who is their baritone/bass! Its awesome! Enjoy!
@@RockN2Country: I think you'll be really surprised if you react to more of their stuff because they're actually very far from a barbershop quartet and because this song is a very different style from what they usually do. Actually, a lot of people don't even realize Home Free does all of their music a cappella when not told beforehand. They also do a lot of different genres / styles besides country (so far, their songs have combined country, pop, rock, reggae, hip hop, rap, gospel, soul...). I think their sound and music is really unique because of that.
⤵⤵ Tim-long hair, 5 octave bass A0-A#5 Adam-INSANE beatboxer/low tenor Rob-beard, sweetest soulful tenor Austin-wavy hair, amazing high tenor Chance-Cool 4 octave bass/baritone ▶All very tall, funny, master singers, arrangers, songwriters & multi-instru- mentalists, who ❤a cappella! Example Adam/beatboxer plays trumpet, bass, guitar, piano/keys, drums, etc! ▶Tour globally w/sold-out concerts + besides bboxing a full concert, Adam does a 10 min. bboxing solo! ▶Despite some a cappella"stigma" in country radio/tv, have 5 Billboard Country Albums #2, #2, #4, #8, #12 & perf.'d at Grand Ol'Opry 6 x,, etc! ▶Started out soul/pop, now more country-ish/soul/pop, but can sing anything, amazingly, awesome live! ▶▶PLZ REACT to awesome LIVE: *9 To 5-Beatboxing Breakdown* *!!* *Man Of Constant Sorrow 03-03-18* *Colder Memory Lapse* (Austin forgot words, guys lose it, but roll with it, watch their faces till the end... hilarious)!!.......😊
Great comments on the unique scenario of creating videos for acapella. A lot of their more upbeat videos are of them with their friends and family having fun. But a few of their "ballads" are more artistic. "I can't outrun you" is very interesting. A few others that I like the video concepts for are "What We Ain't Got", "Man of Constant Sorrow", and "How We Roll" which is a comedy spoof of The Big Lebowski. As a side note just, since you're a country guy, I don't know if you follow Pentatonix or not. They're the Hollywood darlings of A Capella and are very good. BUT, their videos got stale for me very quickly...Home Free and Voice Play have really figured out that they need to be a bit more creative with their videos. The beauty of that is their personalities really shine in these videos. Thanks for your thoughtful reaction!
Interesting. I hadn't seen this one. There videos always feature different cinematography. Some are so fun, but their serious ones really leave an impression visually as well. Regarding their ranges and designations: Austin is their first tenor (he's the thin long Auburn haired one.) Rob is their lead tenor (dark hair, bigger guy with a beard and glasses.) Their beat boxer/vocal percussionist is Adam Rupp (dark blonde, usually clean shaven, sometimes longish hair, but usually pulled back into a ponytail.) He also sings, but i'm not sure what his range is. I think he sings 2nd tenor and maybe some baritone (baritone is the higher low range.) Adam "Chance" is their baritone bass (shorter hair snd shorter beard.) He sometimes sings the higher low part, but he also can sing bass (low voice) if Tim Foust is singing in his high range. Tim has the almost black hair, smoldering eyes, breath taking smile... oops, sorry. 😏 He sings bass, baritone, tenor, and first tenor, but usually bass. He has a 4 octave range. His super low notes have busted sound systems. His bass voice is darker than Chance's and has some "gravel" to it. Chance is more mellow of a sound and also really nice. Tim's higher voice sounds completely different. It is smoother. Sometimes I like to try to figure out which one is covering which part. Lol.
It happens to he best of us, Rachel! The environments in which we type are fast-moving, reactionary-type forums and I've trained myself to not be too hard on myself. I don't remember other folks' mistakes, so I figure they're not remembering mine. Onward and upward!!
Good interesting cover of all time classic song! A lot of reverb and chorus going on in the production added to the overall sound and quality of the video. Sorry super fans, but I still enjoy a good guitar riff in a song!
@cowTownCustoms have you seen the Wings of Pegasus reaction videos? They are the British Guitarist reaction videos. He is showing some incredible guitarists videos. From BOC to Jerry Reed.
So do a lot of us (guitar riffs). I don't think any of us "super fans" have ever said we didn't. ;-) I used to play guitar, until arthritis bit me too hard in several ways.
You should listen to Justin Moore’s “The Ones Who Didn’t Make it Back Home”. It’s very emotional and shows what it’s like not just to lose a solider in the family but anyone for that matter.
Just an FYI-you mentioned baritone being “deep bass”. That’s not correct. “Deep bass” is just that-deep bass, which is what Tim Foust can do, among other things. Adam Chance (“Chance”) is a “baritone”-which means “a male voice or voice part that is intermediate between tenor and bass.” Tim has a 5-octave range-he can go very low, to pretty high, & he’s amazing! Tim’s mostly the bass, but goes higher at times, Austin Brown is the high tenor, Rob Lundquist is the low tenor, Chance is the baritone, & Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. At times, Tim does a solo and Chance sings bass, & vice versa. I love how they frequently switch around and vary who doesn’t the lead/solos, and switch who does the backup harmonies. It makes it all so much more interesting, & shows off all of their individual talents! Their videos are all very unique, too, as some are pretty serious, & others are absolutely hysterically funny, but fit the songs perfectly! They do a lot of covers, but they also write, compose, & perform their own originals, too, which are wonderful works in their own right! React to some of their original stuff! We’ve been trying to call & get the local country station to play their music, but it’s hard to do. I called one day & they didn’t have their CD to play from. “Champagne Taste” is a wonderful original by Tim & the video is hilarious, “All About That Bass” & the “Butts Medley” are hilarious, “When You Walk In” is beautiful, & “I’ve Seen”, written by Tim, is beautiful, too. They’ve got quite a collection to choose from! “Hillbilly Bone” is better than the original, according to most pple’s. comments! #HomeFryForLife
I apologize if I repeat something that's already been stated. So first, this is a Crosby, Stills and Nash song. Everyone seems to agree that the narrative of the song is about a man and a woman but we are unsure if they are both in love with each other and there seems to be an underlying tone that they can't seem to get their relationship together for some reason. One statement I saw proposed that the man loved the woman and wanted to be with her but the woman, for some reason, was reluctant to be with the man. As to the chorus, yes there is word play going on there, They are one person... the consensus is that this is inferring that they are soul mates and destined to be together as one. They are too lonely... as two separate people they are each battling with loneliness. They are three together... I have seen two different proposals for the meaning of this line. #1 as a couple, should they come together they will be more than they are as two separate individuals. Kind of a stretch but hey, it's a song and it a nice sentiment. #2 - this is another play on words (sort of) and the intention of the line is that they are Free (3) together. Meaning that should they come together they will set each other Free. Again a bit of a stretch but if you have a lisp it works. ;) They are for each other... again back to the fact that they are soul mates and designed to be the one for the other. Just to be clear, these are not my opinions, these are statements I found regarding the song and it's meaning. So don't yell at me if you don't agree. lol
Try their cover of Boyz 2 Men End of the Road if you want to get individual talent from them , and I would never consider them Barber Shop anything. They do a rockin stompin concert and their talent is 10 fold. Try Country Fried Pop Medley and Butts Remix.
@Isaih Bangura Except in the song they don't say "three," after "two" they say "we are for each other." That's the part that gets me wondering. It could just be a cute play on words, but I like thinking about the possibilities. Welcome to the channel, BTW!
!Isaih Bangura You're right (I was going from memory about my issue with the song, and so much for that approach). My confusion about the meaning of those lyrics---"They are three together"---emanates from there not being a baby mentioned in the song, as well as the difficulty the woman is having with the relationship. So the final line, "They are for each other," though it lends itself to depicting her confusion, or possibly his, doesn't yet make sense to me. Some lines are meant to add cadence or lyrical artistry but nonecefsarily contain significant meaning, but I don't think this is one of those lines or stanzas. There's just something I'm missing.
Thanks for the shout out. The numeric lines I have interpreted as “they are one person” meaning by themselves they are only an individual, “they are two alone” meaning they are only two by themselves. “They are three together” meaning they conceive a child and “they are four each other” meaning they are meant to be together. My thoughts.
Makes sense except for the "four each other" clause. If it's "for each other" I can see that, but it's lyrically complex enough for what they typically write.
I love these lines, because they make sense both ways. Kind of a pun there. Very clever. Love the lyrics. They are mysterious, but when you know the tragic love story behind it, it makes perfect sense. Looking forward to more HF reactions. Sending love from Finland!
This is the official video studio version. If you listen closely to the original CSN recording they intentionally make the lyric sound like "four for each other" where you can distinctly hear the word for/four repeated, which takes one even deeper into that thought process you mentioned. The 60's and 70's lyricists were poetically cruel, don't you think?
DON YOU DID A SUPER BREAK DOWN JOB. I THINK YOUR CORRECT WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS "TOO" ALONE AND THREE TOGETHER. THEY DID C.S.N JUSTICE YET YOU CAN'T REALLY TOP AN ORIGINAL. THEY DID A GOOD JOB SO DID YOU, SIR.
Thank you, Clay!! The mystery continues about "too" vs. "two" and "for" vs. "four," and it's fun to guess the possibilities. Words are funny things sometimes, huh?
Thanks if you ever decide to do another barbara mandrell reaction this one shows her playing banjo and dobro!! it is called duelling banjos and my baby is coming home. ua-cam.com/video/cQmFSz-5WCY/v-deo.html
Dude you should react to something you are probably not going to like. I am going to recommend Steve McQueen by Drive by Truckers or the live sound check version of Wynonna s Big Brown Beaver by Duo de Twang.
@@RockN2Country if you do a Drive by Truckers song, do Goddamm Lonely Love. It's got over a million views. It will help your reaction video show up in a search.
Very talented group with a rabid fanbase...especially popular with the ladies...just not my cup of tea. I've listened to about 5-6 of their songs and they're all excellent but not something I'd play in my truck if that makes sense. If they're going to be a country group doing the classics, I wish they had a made a stop at their local Tractor Supply and bought some real boot-cut jeans...those mall jeans with western boots is a major no-go.
Take a listen to Some Girls Do (an oldie by Sawyer Brown) or Elvira (with the Oak Ridge Boys) or My Church (Maren Morris) for a start. You should watch the videos before you start bumping them in your truck. And, yep, we ladies do find them fun, warm, funny and very attractive. Not gonna lie.
@@GrandmasGoneGamingLW Well God bless your little heart! At your age you might want to spend a little more time gettin' right with God than spewing insults just because you got butt-hurt that I didn't like your little boyband. Yeah...take a minute and let that sink in.... As far as me not being a "real man" because I've started watching UA-cam in the last year. Who knows? You'd have to ask my wife about that one. But "real man" or not, I just count my blessings that I was never "your man" :-) P.S. Before you go off on another vitriolic rant aimed at someone with a different opinion, please remember to take your meds first! And don't forget those prayers for humility, kindness, and tolerance. :-)
RockN2Country It is connected to CSN in a way. It's actually the mythical name of a the town of Glastonbury England. As in Arthur ' s Avalon. But I was listening to CSN ' s So Far on a Sony Walkman when I discovered the town. So which came first, who knows? They are one and the same to me.
@Kevin McManus Because it’s a reaction video, genius. Do you get upset when you turn on a football game and there’s a football game actually happening?
@Kathy H It's the nature of reactions. Sometimes the pauses go for five seconds and sometimes the song engenders more thoughts about life, the artists, and other things. I don't script things, so the reactions are pure.
I'll decline your command, since not only is it rude the way you presented yourself, it's also not the nature of reaction videos. Here's a solution: listen to the song on UA-cam, then listen to a reaction video (or not). The point of reactions is to, ya know, react.

I consider this to be a true masterpiece vocally. A whole course can be taught just from this song alone and their execution. Great reaction.
I absolutely love how they do this song it is so breathtaking so Angelic it's so smooth I don't even have the words how beautiful it is..
Their harmonies are just too incredible...just blew my mind. Total ear candy.

Lol
Mmm lol

they wrote on the description that it was directed by green shoe creative
agreed, but do the live version. I think it's better then music video ...
The beatboxer is insane!
As someone who has NO formal musical training, and one that has some stage time, I am in AWE of the way that Home Free can paint a song! There is a quality of color in all of their renditions of various songs. A Great quantity of Skill and love of the sound of music and of the human voice.
The more you hear from them, the more you will like. Keep them coming. Thanks for the reaction
Thanks for the reaction. i haven't heard anything these guys do that I don't like. Something a little more upbeat that you might like is great cover of The OJay's old tune.. "Love Train".
Thanks so much for a great, interesting HOME FREE reaction. PLEASE react to HOME FREE - MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW.
2 HF songs and you are down the rabbit hole and you become a home Fry enjoy
Everyone talks about the harmonies which are awesome...but their unison is beyond belief. AND that is so hard to do....
What I love about Home Free, is their ability to do "serious" songs, "comical songs," and through out, they are excellent technically. Plus they always seem to be having a good time, which puts a smile on my face every time. Thank you for reacting to this.
Home Free is incredibly creative with their arrangements. They're highly underrated
I always took 2 to mean too as well! Glad to know I'm not alone on that!
That's what I'm talking about!!
SWEET!!!!! Another Home Free song!!! They did a version of Man of constant sorrow that I think you would like. The guy who started the song is Chance, the baritone; than came Rob the tenor; next was Austin the high tenor, Adam who is actually the beat boxer also can sing tenor and Tim Foust is the bass, he has a 5 octave voice range. Just for a little info about the group, they were formed in Minnesota by Adam and his brother Chris who left the band in 2016, he was replaced by Chance.
Thanks for the shout out and reaction! They really are unique!
You're welcome, Caitlin!
They are amazing.... Love your take and reaction... Also a big CSN (and sometimes Y) fan.
Love home free. They are so unique
Thanks for the reaction. I love their version of this song. Keep reacting to Home Free, and you wont
be disappointed
You're welcome, Susan!!
I agree.. i believe they did the simplistic video to keep 100% focus on the vocals... they are an acapella group.. the vocals are the glitz and glamour for the video. i think Tim (who arranged this song for the group) wanted to simply let the vocals shine. This was a great tribute to CSN in the way they performed the song.
This group has been touring for 20 years
They do all of their arrangements according to what the song calls for. Their videos are also all arranged by them.
This is another one of the songs that they covered that makes you think. Besides their awesome singing, did you notice that Adam Rupp, the beat boxer was singing? He won't take any lead, or solo parts feeling that he has no training in singing, but the few times he has actually been heard his voice is really nice. So he sings, but not right out front. Man of constant Sorrow is going to be one of their best all time covers I think. I'm torn though because the video is wonderful, but the live performance (I believe I've posted the link before, but if not I will again at the end here) proves a couple of points. They can make these various "noises" without instruments, and are wonderful singers live. I fell that way with their cover of 9 to 5 also. The beat boxing section in the live version is awesome!

thanks for the great reaction. chance the one who open is a baritone, the second singer was rob he is a tenor, the third singer was austin he is a high tenor, the fourth singer was tim he is a super bass with a 5 octave range and the last was adam he is a freak of nature lol he is the beat boxer but when he sings he is a tenor. I love all of home frees songs but i suggest in the blood,how great thou art,9 to 5.
OK, This was basically put together by Adam Chance. Yes it is so simple and moving. That verse you are in a quandary about has been explained thus: The guy who wrote it was in love with Judy Blue Eyes. They were on the verge of breaking up. One person --- the man: we are two along -- a couple: we are three together (includes her child, making a family): we are for each other (meant for each other). That is the basic explanation. I'm sure their are so many interpretations anybody could come up with for their own circumstances but this is what the writer intended. His use of alliteration would be a bit cloying if it weren't for the simplicity of the melody. One of my favorite of their songs, and this cover is perfection.
Please listen to Home Free's 'How Great Thou Art". As a vocalist and a former accapella singer, I can honestly say this is the best version of any accapella performed by a group I have ever heard! Tim Foust is the bass, and have can sing all the way up to a high soprano (his highest is an A flat 5), a full soprano can sing from C4 to C6. Adam "Chance" is the baritone, he sings bass when Tim is singing lead. He also has an impressive range, he can sing from the 1st octave up to the 5th octave. Adam Rupp is the beatboxer/drummer in the group and sings on certain songs. When he beatboxes, he will go down to the bass line and up to falsetto (at least to the 4th octave, possibly the 5th). When he does sing, it appears that he is singing the tenor line, perhaps a tenor 2. If anyone on here knows what part he is singing I would love to know what you think! Rob Lindquist is the lead tenor and how I imagine angels in heaven sound like! And Austin Brown is the high tenor, with a voice of gold!

Thanks, Heather---another Home Fry in the house!!!
I am a deep fried home fry!!
Adam is a tenor - his range seems to be in between Rob's and Austin's.
These are the lyrics I found:
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
Thanks, Marla!
I will enjoy the process of you coming to terms with a cappella music. Fair to guess that was not something you expected when you began this project.
Didn't expect it, and not opposed to it. Just putting into perspective for myself as I hear more of it. :-)
@@RockN2Country What is fascinating to me is that they have been invited to play at Ryman and even the Opry a half-dozen times in the last 2-3 years. Their last show it was tweeted that Little Big Town watched their set from offstage. They've recorded with Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers and Charlie Daniels. So close to breaking though?
It’s my understanding that Chance came up with the concept as well as directing the video and Tim did the arrangement.
The Black and White and the simplicity let you concentrate on the song.
Just a suggestion, If you want to hear the Bass, Tim Foust, watch "What we aint Got" or "In the Blood". His performance in both is outstanding!
Don’t forget “Ring of Fire” to hear his bass!!!
Love Home Free! Do their “Ring of Fire “ but not the Sing-Off video, use their full official video.
Because Home Free is so talented its sometimes hard to remember that they do not use instruments. Vocals only. The group is made up of Tim Foust, their incredible base who can sing as high as the tenors and lower than humanly possible, there is their baritone..a step up from the bass, but who can sing bass when needed, two tenors, and a beat boxer who actually sang in this song. Every song they do showcases a different talent from one of the guys. Keep them coming.
You should go to one of their concerts, talking about the bass, Tim's soundwaves blast through you. You literally feel the experience!
Seeing as you are a country channel how about checking out their "Sold" or their "It's a great day to be alive" both of those should be well known to you in the country music community.
Just to show you their influence on a capella worldwide, you need to check out their arrangement of this song done by a quarantined Italian Youth Choir. I can guarantee they are playing Rome on their next world tour.
Thanks for your reaction and please keep the Home Free reactions coming. They do a really great job with their video of man of constant sorrow where you see Adam’s beatbox abilities come into play beautifully. They also do a great job with John Mayer’s in the blood. They also do an amazing job with Trace Adkins’s I can’t out run you.
Thanks for that great reaction to Home Free !!!! They are awesome, but unbelievable live !!! There are so many great songs to pick from, try "What We Ain't Got " or "My Church"."In the Blood" is great and "How Great Thou Art" can not be left out. Filmed in the Austrian Alps it is wonderful.
Could you PLEASE PLEASE react to Home Free's cover of Fishin' in the Dark/Boondocks and their collab with The Oak Ridge Boys of ELVIRA
Hey Christine, I'll put it on the list, but be patient since my list is long!!
@@RockN2Country Not a problem I understand Thanks
Great reaction. They've got some great new ones out you should check out. They covered End of the Road by Boyz II Men and most recently It's a Great Day to Be Alive by Travis Tritt.
Yup!!! :-)
Love your reactions and I love Home Free!! You should react to "I Can't Outrun You"! Its a cover of a Trace Adkins song and it was directed by Chance, who is their baritone/bass! Its awesome! Enjoy!
Thanks for the kind thoughts, Kathie, and welcome to the fam!!
They are definitely not all playing the same instrument, their voices are all very different :)
True, but I've yet to hear one singing from his foot. Ha!
@@RockN2Country: I think you'll be really surprised if you react to more of their stuff because they're actually very far from a barbershop quartet and because this song is a very different style from what they usually do. Actually, a lot of people don't even realize Home Free does all of their music a cappella when not told beforehand. They also do a lot of different genres / styles besides country (so far, their songs have combined country, pop, rock, reggae, hip hop, rap, gospel, soul...). I think their sound and music is really unique because of that.

Great comments on the unique scenario of creating videos for acapella. A lot of their more upbeat videos are of them with their friends and family having fun. But a few of their "ballads" are more artistic. "I can't outrun you" is very interesting. A few others that I like the video concepts for are "What We Ain't Got", "Man of Constant Sorrow", and "How We Roll" which is a comedy spoof of The Big Lebowski. As a side note just, since you're a country guy, I don't know if you follow Pentatonix or not. They're the Hollywood darlings of A Capella and are very good. BUT, their videos got stale for me very quickly...Home Free and Voice Play have really figured out that they need to be a bit more creative with their videos. The beauty of that is their personalities really shine in these videos. Thanks for your thoughtful reaction!
Don! Yes! Please react to "How We Roll" found here: ua-cam.com/video/AHKF2Sh3xZU/v-deo.html I'm thinking you would have a blast. ;-)
Interesting. I hadn't seen this one. There videos always feature different cinematography. Some are so fun, but their serious ones really leave an impression visually as well.
Regarding their ranges and designations: Austin is their first tenor (he's the thin long Auburn haired one.) Rob is their lead tenor (dark hair, bigger guy with a beard and glasses.) Their beat boxer/vocal percussionist is Adam Rupp (dark blonde, usually clean shaven, sometimes longish hair, but usually pulled back into a ponytail.) He also sings, but i'm not sure what his range is. I think he sings 2nd tenor and maybe some baritone (baritone is the higher low range.) Adam "Chance" is their baritone bass (shorter hair snd shorter beard.) He sometimes sings the higher low part, but he also can sing bass (low voice) if Tim Foust is singing in his high range. Tim has the almost black hair, smoldering eyes, breath taking smile... oops, sorry. 😏 He sings bass, baritone, tenor, and first tenor, but usually bass. He has a 4 octave range. His super low notes have busted sound systems. His bass voice is darker than Chance's and has some "gravel" to it. Chance is more mellow of a sound and also really nice. Tim's higher voice sounds completely different. It is smoother. Sometimes I like to try to figure out which one is covering which part. Lol.
I wish I could edit... yes, I meant "their" not "there" in the first sentence. The English major in me is cringing.
It happens to he best of us, Rachel! The environments in which we type are fast-moving, reactionary-type forums and I've trained myself to not be too hard on myself. I don't remember other folks' mistakes, so I figure they're not remembering mine. Onward and upward!!
Tim's range is actually over 5 octaves. It's Chance who has a range around 4 octaves.
EDIT: Adam is a tenor - somewhere in between Rob and Austin.
Perfection
Sounds like their producer loves some 7 Bridges Road by the Eagles.
MyUA-cam Username - They’ve done 7 Bridges already. In fact, it’s the screenshot in the upper corner during his end comments.
Good interesting cover of all time classic song! A lot of reverb and chorus going on in the production added to the overall sound and quality of the video. Sorry super fans, but I still enjoy a good guitar riff in a song!
@cowTownCustoms have you seen the Wings of Pegasus reaction videos? They are the British Guitarist reaction videos. He is showing some incredible guitarists videos. From BOC to Jerry Reed.
Check out this insane flat picking ua-cam.com/video/PZNqqIMoi0A/v-deo.html

I follow him too. He is a good producer. I play and build guitars.
So do a lot of us (guitar riffs). I don't think any of us "super fans" have ever said we didn't. ;-) I used to play guitar, until arthritis bit me too hard in several ways.
@@GrandmasGoneGamingLW ha I used to play too but it's got away from me in my old age. Well actually since all my stuff got stolen 😆
These guys are amazing. React to Traveling Soldier
This one was pure classic harmonies. For some boot stomping fun try the Butts remix.
Or their cover of Blake Shelton's Hillbilly Bone...
Dude do home free hillbilly bone. Its so good.
You should listen to Justin Moore’s “The Ones Who Didn’t Make it Back Home”. It’s very emotional and shows what it’s like not just to lose a solider in the family but anyone for that matter.
For a very different and more active video of theirs, check out their mashup of Boondocks and Fishin' in the Dark.
I thought this was from grease. lol! There is a song with similar name that Olivia newton-John sang.
Just an FYI-you mentioned baritone being “deep bass”. That’s not correct. “Deep bass” is just that-deep bass, which is what Tim Foust can do, among other things. Adam Chance (“Chance”) is a “baritone”-which means “a male voice or voice part that is intermediate between tenor and bass.” Tim has a 5-octave range-he can go very low, to pretty high, & he’s amazing! Tim’s mostly the bass, but goes higher at times, Austin Brown is the high tenor, Rob Lundquist is the low tenor, Chance is the baritone, & Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. At times, Tim does a solo and Chance sings bass, & vice versa. I love how they frequently switch around and vary who doesn’t the lead/solos, and switch who does the backup harmonies. It makes it all so much more interesting, & shows off all of their individual talents! Their videos are all very unique, too, as some are pretty serious, & others are absolutely hysterically funny, but fit the songs perfectly! They do a lot of covers, but they also write, compose, & perform their own originals, too, which are wonderful works in their own right! React to some of their original stuff! We’ve been trying to call & get the local country station to play their music, but it’s hard to do. I called one day & they didn’t have their CD to play from. “Champagne Taste” is a wonderful original by Tim & the video is hilarious, “All About That Bass” & the “Butts Medley” are hilarious, “When You Walk In” is beautiful, & “I’ve Seen”, written by Tim, is beautiful, too. They’ve got quite a collection to choose from! “Hillbilly Bone” is better than the original, according to most pple’s. comments! #HomeFryForLife
Wow Adam is singing.
Amazing talented group! Listen to their original Good Ole Boys Good Time or Man-of Constant Sorrow for country songs. Their play list is very lengthy!
I apologize if I repeat something that's already been stated. So first, this is a Crosby, Stills and Nash song. Everyone seems to agree that the narrative of the song is about a man and a woman but we are unsure if they are both in love with each other and there seems to be an underlying tone that they can't seem to get their relationship together for some reason. One statement I saw proposed that the man loved the woman and wanted to be with her but the woman, for some reason, was reluctant to be with the man.
As to the chorus, yes there is word play going on there,
They are one person... the consensus is that this is inferring that they are soul mates and destined to be together as one.
They are too lonely... as two separate people they are each battling with loneliness.
They are three together... I have seen two different proposals for the meaning of this line. #1 as a couple, should they come together they will be more than they are as two separate individuals. Kind of a stretch but hey, it's a song and it a nice sentiment. #2 - this is another play on words (sort of) and the intention of the line is that they are Free (3) together. Meaning that should they come together they will set each other Free. Again a bit of a stretch but if you have a lisp it works. ;)
They are for each other... again back to the fact that they are soul mates and designed to be the one for the other.
Just to be clear, these are not my opinions, these are statements I found regarding the song and it's meaning. So don't yell at me if you don't agree. lol
@Bambam NJ, good stuff!! As for your screen name, do you live in Jersey? If so, what part? I'm in Jersey, too.
@@RockN2Country yes Sir, Southern NJ
Please react to Home Free's cover of Trace Adkins' "I Can't Outrun You". The harmonies and cinematography are excellent!
I haven’t seen that one. Are you sure that’s the name of it?
Try their cover of Boyz 2 Men End of the Road if you want to get individual talent from them , and I would never consider them Barber Shop anything. They do a rockin stompin concert and their talent is 10 fold. Try Country Fried Pop Medley and Butts Remix.
You will love Elvira with the Oakridge boys and home free together
One = man, two = man and wife, and three = man and wife with child
@Isaih Bangura Except in the song they don't say "three," after "two" they say "we are for each other." That's the part that gets me wondering. It could just be a cute play on words, but I like thinking about the possibilities. Welcome to the channel, BTW!
@@RockN2Country well, this is the chorus:
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
!Isaih Bangura You're right (I was going from memory about my issue with the song, and so much for that approach). My confusion about the meaning of those lyrics---"They are three together"---emanates from there not being a baby mentioned in the song, as well as the difficulty the woman is having with the relationship. So the final line, "They are for each other," though it lends itself to depicting her confusion, or possibly his, doesn't yet make sense to me. Some lines are meant to add cadence or lyrical artistry but nonecefsarily contain significant meaning, but I don't think this is one of those lines or stanzas. There's just something I'm missing.
Please react to more of Home Free!!❤
Thanks for the shout out. The numeric lines I have interpreted as “they are one person” meaning by themselves they are only an individual, “they are two alone” meaning they are only two by themselves. “They are three together” meaning they conceive a child and “they are four each other” meaning they are meant to be together. My thoughts.
Makes sense except for the "four each other" clause. If it's "for each other" I can see that, but it's lyrically complex enough for what they typically write.
I love these lines, because they make sense both ways. Kind of a pun there. Very clever.
Love the lyrics. They are mysterious, but when you know the tragic love story behind it, it makes perfect sense.
Looking forward to more HF reactions. Sending love from Finland!
Welcome to the fam, Tarja!! Makes me happy to see a Fin in here!!
The bass is the bass. Baritone is higher than that.
You've got to do their cover of Ring of Fire featuring Pentatonic's Avi Kaplan
This might do it. ua-cam.com/video/cDwkEre8wJs/v-deo.html
I take it as words not numbers. Really the only way the entire song makes sense.
This is the official video studio version. If you listen closely to the original CSN recording they intentionally make the lyric sound like "four for each other" where you can distinctly hear the word for/four repeated, which takes one even deeper into that thought process you mentioned. The 60's and 70's lyricists were poetically cruel, don't you think?
The harmonies, as always are great. The song itself, not so much.
I'm trying to know what to say without being negative. Hmm? I like ur reaction channel.
Another one on tap?? Thanks for the warning.
Thanks for liking the reaction channel---ha!! As for Home Free, I have a feeling if I were a lady I'd like them more. But I'm no lady....
DON YOU DID A SUPER BREAK DOWN JOB. I THINK YOUR CORRECT WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS "TOO" ALONE AND THREE TOGETHER. THEY DID C.S.N JUSTICE YET YOU CAN'T REALLY TOP AN ORIGINAL. THEY DID A GOOD JOB SO DID YOU, SIR.
Thank you, Clay!! The mystery continues about "too" vs. "two" and "for" vs. "four," and it's fun to guess the possibilities. Words are funny things sometimes, huh?

Dude you should react to something you are probably not going to like. I am going to recommend Steve McQueen by Drive by Truckers or the live sound check version of Wynonna s Big Brown Beaver by Duo de Twang.
"Steve McQueen" is on the list now---thanks for the rec!
@@RockN2Country haha, probably not a good idea to do that one. Some people bruise easily 😁 Seriously though, you shouldn't do that one
@@RockN2Country if you do a Drive by Truckers song, do Goddamm Lonely Love. It's got over a million views. It will help your reaction video show up in a search.
Ruh roh, now I HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT. #fact
@@RockN2Country yea but don't do a video about it 😆
I will be back.
Very talented group with a rabid fanbase...especially popular with the ladies...just not my cup of tea. I've listened to about 5-6 of their songs and they're all excellent but not something I'd play in my truck if that makes sense. If they're going to be a country group doing the classics, I wish they had a made a stop at their local Tractor Supply and bought some real boot-cut jeans...those mall jeans with western boots is a major no-go.
LOL on the boot-cut jeans!!!
Take a listen to Some Girls Do (an oldie by Sawyer Brown) or Elvira (with the Oak Ridge Boys) or My Church (Maren Morris) for a start. You should watch the videos before you start bumping them in your truck. And, yep, we ladies do find them fun, warm, funny and very attractive. Not gonna lie.

As far as me not being a "real man" because I've started watching UA-cam in the last year. Who knows? You'd have to ask my wife about that one. But "real man" or not, I just count my blessings that I was never "your man" :-)
P.S. Before you go off on another vitriolic rant aimed at someone with a different opinion, please remember to take your meds first! And don't forget those prayers for humility, kindness, and tolerance. :-)
No, no, no. Can't touch my CSN.
@AvalonDreaming Totally agree, and welcome to the channel! Did your screen name come from one of my favorite songs of all time, “Southern Cross”?
RockN2Country It is connected to CSN in a way. It's actually the mythical name of a the town of Glastonbury England. As in Arthur ' s Avalon. But I was listening to CSN ' s So Far on a Sony Walkman when I discovered the town. So which came first, who knows? They are one and the same to me.
seems you look for the faults , its called bass. good job.
why the hell do I need your critque comes to mind?
@Kevin McManus Because it’s a reaction video, genius. Do you get upset when you turn on a football game and there’s a football game actually happening?
Bass and baritone are two different parts
Bass is BASS, NEVER BARITONE. Crap, Baritone is the friggin' normal male voice.
it better get more upbeat or i won't be listening to them
The reason I gave you a thumbs down is, I do not understand why you do a "quick pause" for 2 whole minutes to talk about the making of the video.
@Kathy H It's the nature of reactions. Sometimes the pauses go for five seconds and sometimes the song engenders more thoughts about life, the artists, and other things. I don't script things, so the reactions are pure.
That is annoying. Don't stop the song!
I'll decline your command, since not only is it rude the way you presented yourself, it's also not the nature of reaction videos. Here's a solution: listen to the song on UA-cam, then listen to a reaction video (or not). The point of reactions is to, ya know, react.
The vocals are good, but all of that lasted way too long.
right now what i'm hearing is crap...
