HAPPY HOME FRYDAY, friends!!! We miss you!! IDK if it's because we've been so busy moving, or what, but we don't feel like we've talked to you enough. Please know we are thinking of you and will get back to more commenting, emailing, and overall having fun with you once this move is DONE in June. In the meantime, sending lots of love and wishing each of you a FABULOUS weekend!!!
If you guys haven't seen "Meet in the Middle", it's from the quarantine era, and involves some serious iPhone wizardry. HF clearly decided very early on that they were going to make better videos than any acappella band had ever dreamed of. I mean, you'd think the singing would be enough, but if they have a video of the song? WATCH. THE. VIDEO. I also like your take on takes. Reactors often say "they look like they're having so much fun!" and they do, but I also picture "Okay, Take 37. Austin, could you please try not to crack up this time?" "I'm sorry, buddy, it's just...the look on Rob's face..." "We're losing daylight here. Roll take 37."
So true! "Meet In The Middle" is mind-blowing for transition effects! Go Jimmy Bates! He's so good at his videography and what an imagination! No wonder he does almost all of HF's videos.
Are there any interviews with him? I wouldn't mind knowing a little about the kind of guy who can not only dream up "Brother" but also film it like that.
@@uosuaq No interviews I'm aware of. I've just heard snippets here and there from the guys of HF in some of their interviews and the behind-the-scenes on Patreon once in awhile as they joke with him about the ideas he comes up with. Once the guys asked him if he laid awake at nights just thinking of ways to torture them. 😄
Jimmy really deserves tons of awards for his videos over the years. You have done Meet in the Middle and Quarantine, but have you done Road Sweet Road yet? That one makes this one look simple in terms of how many times they had to set up.
Hey Guys HAPPY HOME FRYDAY !!! They filmed this on their stop in Key West (in Jan/Feb no less...yes that's the perfect time to visit us here in South Fla !). They were on the Country Music Cruise and they've already signed up for the 2025 Cruise !!! I can't wait for 1pm I think y'all are really gonna like it a lot....Miss Dolly Parton can really write great songs
Hey Dani, thanks for requesting this. It's my favorite remake they've done. Hi J &J I hope you're having a great day today! This is such a fun & catchy song. And the video is wonderful!
Rob did good job on this song. Adam Rupp did great job on his beatboxing. Tim did a great job on his low bass. Austin did a great job. Chance did a good job. I love Home Free, they are my favorite group.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This Home Free video is loaded with so much action and sound that I had to watch it multiple times to even begin to take it all in (a great marketing move by Home Free!!). I love the dance moves, humor and, of course, the fun upbeat singing. Your reaction has increased my appreciation tenfold. Thank you for pointing out the amount of work, talent and dedication that goes into producing a few minutes of happiness for the viewers. We tend to take it all for granted and forget to thank the guys and their amazing team for all they do. Gail L.
So good. I know Tim can do birds and I wouldn’t doubt that Adam did a lot of those animal sounds. Loved the video and loved their version of the song. Good one J & J! 😍😄
I want to point out that all this video was done from a cell phone. The video crew was not allowed to bring their gear onto the resort. So YES their video crew is AMAZING 👏. And this song is awesome!!! Thanks for the reaction
The videos the boys did during Covid have great transitions that you will like: “Diamond Dreams”, “On The Road Again”, “Moonshine”, “Never Gonna Give You Up”, “Flowers On The Wall”, “Workin’ for a Livin’ “, “Down to the Honky Tonk”. Those should keep you guys busy! All the videos are amazing! Please check them out!
I love that they were still able to make the video. Their creativity runs deep! It’s reminiscent of quarantine days. I was hearing monkeys and tropical birds in the background, so who knows who made those noises. It’s such a happy song for Home FrYday 🍟 🎶 Cyd
Happy Home FrYday, Cyd!!! You are so right on that. Say, Jeremy and I were talking this morning about how much we appreciate you. In particular, the fact that you check out all our videos, no matter what genre, means so much to us. We'd love to take a song request from you (our treat), as a way to say THANK YOU for constantly supporting us. That's not enough, but a start. When you have time, please email me (Jillian) your request to: sikbusinessmanager@gmail.com. Thanks again, Cyd...we are lucky to have friends like you in our corner of the internet. ❤️
There's a live video of them singing this on their 2014 Crazy Life tour - of course it has Chris in it & is so good! This is such a happy song & of course the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are terrific. I don't know whether it's Adam's trill at the beginning or the "day-o" later on but it brings to mind Harry Belafonte's calypso (which I always loved).
Why hasn’t this song got more reactions? Especially the whole thing filmed on a phone?! We forgot a wee bit, that they have an entire fantastic arsenal…the producers, the videographer, the editor!!! ON A PHONE??? These guys never cease to amaze! ❤ Also, the head bopping, from you precious two, right in sync!!!😉
Thanks for your reaction. This was so much fun! I had never heard this song before. It gives me Caribbean vibes. A very happy song & a fun video to lift the spirits. The editing reminded me of a lot of the stuff they did on phones during the pandemic.
This really makes me so happy now!! 😃 And believe me, I could really use that. Yes, Home Free has once again managed to make my life a lot brighter. 😊🥰 Love the song, love the video, love the humor, love Home Free ❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song! Makes you get ready for outside summer fun!! Having said that listen to their song. Summer in the Country” &. “Snapback! Be sure to listen to their cover of Zach Brown’s song “ my old Man”! Its outstanding! I would love to hear them sing Zac song “Country Fried”!!
Wow, great review guys, this made me miss my island! My wife and I have an island that even though we don’t own it we call it ours! Our son asked his lovely, now wife to marry him on that beach, sounds daughter had their honeymoon there, and they just had a daughter of their own and named her first name after the island! ❤ sorry for the rant😂! This is a great song and well done! Friends, low bass Kenneth
I LOVE this one! Love the vibe, love Adam’s monkey sounds and beatboxing! Just pure fun! ❤Jeremy, it sounds like you’re going to have to watch this video again to pick up things that you missed LOL ❤️
Woohoo! I needed Home Free Friday! I play this song on repeat, often. It’s irresistible and can change my mood in a verse. I love these guys with my whole heart. ❤
Great, as always, guys! When is San Diego NOT a great idea? And the throw in a HF concert, no brainer! The videos, along with show choreography, are their LEAST favorite part of everything for the guys. They are lucky enough that the music comes naturally (obviously). Everything else is outside most of their comfort zones. Austin is probably the exception with his music theater background. That comes thru inhis animation in videos. It's one of MANY things that will be missed. I'm sure the new member will bring other complimentary strengths but it will be tough to cover all the strengths Austin has.
Dani picked a fun one for sure! Just 5 singing guys on a beach holiday. Oh, wait, they are HOME FREE, 😉. You two showed much happiness watching this one. Thanks! 💕
Thanks, guys! Hope you're having a great Friday so far! I hear the weather isn't great in the northeast today, but it's hot and sunny down south! Great reaction as usual and thank you! I always love hearing about the different things that you notice!!!
Hey Dani girl!!! Thank you again for the awesome request - this was SO fun!!! And thank you for dealing with our antics, lol!!! Yep, it's definitely a cozy day here in Delaware...perfect for snuggling with the pups while we work!! Hope you are doing GREAT!!!
The original of this song at the very beginning Beugs does cricket sounds. And did you notice that Chance was wearing an Adam Rupp t-shirt? It was filmed in Key West while on the Country Music Cruise. I hope to be going to San Diego for the show. I always enjoy watching your reactions to these guys.
Jimmy Bates is their cameraman for almost all of their videos, but he outdid himself with this one! I think the guys may have had some extra fun since they got to step outside of the box with the filming and probably have some input on the action.
The videographer was Jimmy who was also the one who came up with the leafblower video. He did most or maybe all of their Quarantine videos. I'm trying to get something together for San Diego. My son lives there with friends. He has seen Home Free videos I send him. And it's my birthday!!! No UVIP for this one,just regular tickets if I can swing the trip. Would love to see you there,hopefully if I can make it happen.
Hey Scott, happy HOOOMMME FRYDAY!!!!! We have Matt's reaction to The Warning's "More" this upcoming Warning Wednesday. We realize it's not the songs everyone suggested he hear, but at the time of recording we had to make a quick decision on which to react to, and chose one that so many folks had asked for (but turns out it wasn't the best to highlight Pau's drums). Can't always win, but we'll keep trying!! Hugs, Jillian
I’ve heard the story about being forced to “film” it with a cell phone and it was great. But were they not aware you can record in landscape on the phone? 🧐

Moving next week and hate the process. Just want to magically transport to it already being complete....if only! 😂

Thanks so much!! I'll reconcile which of those we've done (at least 2-3) and add the others to our list. Appreciate the suggestions!
Flowers on the Wall.....such a great song that I rarely have seen reactions to. May have to do a search.
Kudos to their usual camera man Jimmy Bates for his directing work on this song when their change in camera equipment popped up.
They certainly do have a good crew of talented people who do top-notch work for their videos. They don't get recognized enough.
Love this one, makes me think of how they did ‘Meet me in the Middle’ during Quarantine, one of my favorites on iPhone!!❤❤
Thanks guys!!❤❤

Grooling stuffs!!! Hat's off to 'em for such endeavors ... haha! Ain't no laughin' matter peoples. Let's Gooooooo Be Safe
This one is a total bop. It's one of my wake up songs.
Fabulous fun! Im traveling this weekend (ironically to the mountains), so late to the party! ❤️🎶
Sing this under my breath all the time!

Lots of stuff to think about then moving….good luck…
Love this song….
That was so mind blowing how they did that all on I-phones. WOW!!! The music was awesome but the video was beyond...
Simply the best ... #HOMEFREE
Thanks guys ~ that was fun!
Hey yall! Get this combo.... Home Free + J & J + Friday = SHEER HAPPINESS!!!!
Have a great weekend guys!

I’ve heard the story about being forced to “film” it with a cell phone and it was great. But were they not aware you can record in landscape on the phone? 🧐
