Home Free always pays appropriate respect in their covers--especially to the content! Their talent is amazing--and I LOVE their 5-part harmony❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ Such a genius touch to show the silhouette of the fellas in front of the window. I know some see it as a "ghost"y reference but it strikes me as a reflection of the POW/MIA flag. We'll never know just how many of those met the same fate as the soldier of this song. 😥 #HomeFree #AdamRuppSinging
In my opinion, this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful performances ever, Not only are the voices impeccable, but the video is perfect. Thank you for reacting. Home Free is a once in a generation talent, appreciate them while we can!
I appreciate your honest reaction. If this one doesn't evoke emotion in you, then you need to check and see if you still have a heartbeat ! This is one of their masterpieces. Looking forward to re-experiencing 'first times' with you on more Home Free.
This one really hits in the emotions. It is so hauntingly melancholy. The harmonies in this are some of their best. A happy holiday song is needed to lift ones spirits after that. Check out their Do You Hear What I hear. Home Free always touches you in some way; happy, sad, thoughtful, joyful, and sometimes just plain silly. You should also check out some of their solo work and Individual collaborations such as Tim Faust and Peter Hollens singing Misty Mountains or Chance and the Hound and the Fox singing Wayfaring Stranger.Or there is Tim and Austin doing My Maria or Austin and Rob singing opera. The options are limitless and growing. Love your channel and your reactions.
It's been a treat watching you experience Home Free....Found you on Highly....followed you over for Elvira...or one of those classics... So if ya want a special treat, reserved for the ladies....it's gotta be: "When a Man Loves A Woman"....to be a bit off color, it's considered a "panty dropper" performance.
I have always been a fan of this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural breathy bass was awesome along with Chance's smooth baritone & loved it when all the guys were doing 5 part harmonies. Who would believe humming could sound so good. They gave it a very solemn feeling. I love that they don't overproduce their songs. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there.
Tim choose to do this in a breathy voice because he is singing as a dying soldier on the field of battle talking to his fellow soldiers. It one of the things I love about Tim's bass voice he changes his tone depending on the song. The way he sung here is different than how he sings Everybody walkin this land which is different to how he sings Misty Mountains etc. Not to mention that with his 5 octave range he sings from bass to high tenor. His voice is so multifaceted.
This is probably their finest platinum level 5 part harmony a cappella masterpiece. Their gold masterpiece is their cover of Crosby Still and Nash's Helplessly Hoping imho. Their Xmas original, Snow Globe, written by Tim, you will truly love.
Such a beautiful reaction, I just joined and I can't wait to watch you react to more. I followed you over here from watching you on the other channel with my great buddies Highly ReActive. i am sure I will be binging on your other music reactions tonight.
One of their most hauntingly beautiful songs.😢 I think you would like Home Free Ft Oakridge Boys & Jeffery East Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem Children Go Where I Send Thee ft Kenny Rodgers Christmas In Dixie ft Alabama I have been trying to get reactors to react to there incredible version of Away In The Manger it is one of their most overlooked videos and I don’t know why I know it’s older but it is amazing
You have to react to their cover of "Do You Hear What I Hear". It was arranged by their beatboxer Adam, and it's incredible. Thanks for doing Home Free. You're in for a ride.
This is so hauntingly beautiful. This arrangement was created by the Finnish group Club for Five who gave Home Free permission to use it. Their version is also great, although quite different since it includes male and female voices with instruments. Definitely worth a look. Home Free can make you smile, laugh, giggle with joy, or cry your eyes out. Such talented young men.
I loved your reaction to this one! Definitely gets you if you know folks that served. Hope the Christmas song is so you hear what I hear, it’s arranged by the beat boxer Adam Rupp! Low bass Kenneth
Hi Red, this was beautiful, the original by Dire Straits always made me cry, this is no different. If only songs, lyrics, could actually bring about the changes the world needs, ‘cos they should! That we fight each other over imaginary borders on behalf of the hatred of old men, seems to me to be crazy & deeply immoral. Sigh🤦♀️😢 On a lighter note, check out Pentatonix “Kiss From A Rose”. It’s beautiful & I think you’ll like it. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸
Gets to ya if you have a soul, a heart and a will to be a citizen who understands THE COST OF FREEDOM .... and love your country as you thank your Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, & Coast Guardsmen .... for the ransom paid throughout our history - Freedom is not free. God bless, jj
RHN - I'm glad you got to this one early in your Home Free experience. It's a great song, and HF's arrangement is stunning. You'll discover that NOTHING is beyond the reach of HF's combined talents. This one features their low voices - Chance (baritone) and Tim (basso profondo.) Also unusual, this performance gives us 5-part harmonies. Usually, it's only 4-part...because Adam is busy replacing a whole percussion section and a few other instruments.
This was released on Veteran’s Day. It’s very somber, isn’t it? For something to make you laugh, watch “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”. The costumes alone will crack you up.
As a woman, my 5 suggestions to continue with for Home Free would be 1/ Man of Constant Sorrow, 2/ Blue Ain't Your Color, 3/ When A Man Loves A Woman, 4/ Helplessly Hoping, and 5/ How Great Thou Art. Enjoy!
As a big fan growing up in the classic rock era of the late 60s through the early 80s, which these guy dip into as well, Now I am nearing the end of my journey but so so glad these guys came along at this time and I did not miss out. I will probably pop in on all Home Free and their catalog is huge.
Home Free is so diverse. They can make you laugh or cry. This is hauntingly beautiful. Stunning. Loved Tim’s low notes. Loved the echoes. Tim and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. Just the humming can get to you. They have lots of moving songs and happy songs and silly songs. Good, honest reaction and I subscribed!😍😄🥲
Hauntingly beautiful, yet sends a powerful message. They remind me of a pipe organ at the climax. Sends shivers up the spine. Notice there's no beatboxing. Good reaction.
All right, young lady... I have to ask... How is it possible that you have, just in the last couple of days, managed to react to songs that might have come off my "best ever" playlist. Uncanny. Home Free (with your Brit buddies), Ren, Haley, Home Free again... dang! Okay, THIS song is just unreal. I LOVE Home Free. I have been subscribed sine the first song of theirs that I heard. I might be called a Home Fry, but I don't presume. In the hypothetical, if I could have a 10 song playlist, with only ONE song each from 10 different artists, and I could ONLY listen to THAT playlist for the rest of my like... I think this song would be my Home Free choice. That's a weird way of saying, "I think this is my favorite Home Free song." But it is SO hard to pick ONE favorite out so many choices! I also get a little teary sometimes listening to this. I'm a veteran, and I have deep respect for the warriors who are the subject here. The feelings and emotions runneth over when expressed through such incredible musical beauty. Great reaction! I'm glad I subscribed!
What a lovely heart-felt reaction--thank you. The guys know how to get you in the feels. For Christmas songs my two favorites by Home Free are Oh Holy Night and Do You Hear What I Hear. The Oh Holy Night arrangement was written by Tim when he was in his teens(late?) and the song and video setting are beautiful. As for Do You Hear, Adam Rupp arranged it. It is very complex and truly a feast for the ears as there is soooo much going on in the background. I listen to it year-round.
These guys got me through some dark days with their music and humor. Home Free was cranking out a fun new music video every week or two while they were off the road during the pandemic. As you go through their catalog, you'll see a lot of videos from that period where they were each in different locations with spouses/significant-others behind the cameras. These guys do have some more traditional Christmas music like "Do You Hear What I Hear", but for fun, I also suggest "Cold Hard Cash (For Christmas)", (co-written by Austin Brown) and "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". There's another fun one called "Full Of Cheer", but it's kind of the sequel to a non-Christmas song "Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget)" written by Tim Foust and I don't know if you have time to get to them all before Christmas. P.S. If you want to get more traditional songs from another acapella group, I highly suggest you watch Pentatonix "Mary Did You Know", "Little Drummer Boy", or their Grammy winning "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies". These are a good introduction to their original bass singer, Avi Kaplan, who has collaborated with Home Free.
I have no idea how many times I've heard this performance by Home Free (several) but I can tell you that I have never listened to it without choking up. Great reaction - thanks for taking us Home Fries on your journey!
Yes, neighbor. I was watching for another video, and I have subscribed. I think you need to do a fun one now! For an old one but a blast, try The Butts Remix and get ready to roll with laughter. Or how about Hillbilly Bone? That's a great one. Feel like dancing a little? Try Listen to the Music. Helplessly Hoping is just a stunning piece if you are looking for pure harmonies. There's so many to choose from! Listen to the old Home Fry's, and we'll steer you right, but with our guys, you can't go wrong! Oh, and Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer is the best!! Peace from Kentucky
Masterpiece. One of my favorites (out of many). I hope you read the blurb under the description, for we are fools to make war with our brothers and our sisters.
@@redheadedneighbor Red, btw your collab with Lee Jaay and Stan was brilliant. Please consider more of those, My thing is bringing more reactors together, for the furtherance of all our educations and love of music. The community is large and deep and very welcoming. Rb
If this song doesn't touch something deep within you, there's something wrong with you! You'll never leave a Home Free song saying "Meh, it was OK." A great song for a great message is Everybody Walkin This Land! And it's got a great message from Tim after the video! I'm sure you'll love it! A couple of fun Christmas songs are Cold Hard Cash for Christmas (an Austin original) and Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Those will cheer you up! Lol! Great reaction for this song!
Home Free are a group of guys can touch you and make you feel if it's happy sad or funny, these guys are amazing with their harmony's and they are truly brothers. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Fantastic reaction.
Great reaction!! I would suggest one of their fun songs as a followup, Butts Remix/Medley, All About That Base or for a Christmas themed one, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Fun fact about Home Free. They tried for several years to get on Sing Off but never made it. Not until one of the producers suggested that they bill themselves as a COUNTRY acappella group. None of them wanted to do it except Austin, who finally talked them into it. And of course, they won that year. For any who do not believe this info, Chris Rupp has a series of videos about their formation and he talks about this with Tim and Austin.
Another powerful reaction .....your starting to become my favorite. What do i look for when im looking at a real reaction. Everything your doing. Thank you. Im a fan for life.
When Dire Straits came out with this song in '85, it was amazing and over shadowed by Money for Nothing. Home Free just added a new dimension to the song doing it acapella.
Ok now you should really check out “Helplessly Hoping “ if you haven’t already also amazing voice arranging by these amazing vocalist of HomeFree Also “Listen to the Music “ is good fun and their original “Playing With Fire” is a must hear
I'm glad that youre loving your journey listening to Home Free! There is a hymn that they sing called How Great Thou Art and a song called Don't Laugh At Me. Don't Laugh At Me is about anti bullying and i had to go through that as a child from Kindergarten all the way through my senior year of high school; so I was 5 all the way to 19 by the same people, whether it was at school or in my neighborhood; it was non-stop! I hope you listen, but really try hard not to say anything during the hymn and song! Thank you, and I hope you are well.
HomeFree is one of my favorites. Celtic Thunder is another band with harmonies you want to check out. Turning away or Voices from their mythology album are some of the best examples
There's one thing that isn't said enough & that's how awesome human beings can be. Just the emotions that a single musical performance can generate is awesome. Home Free are only one example & what an example they are. I'm an Australian & they are getting a real fan bass over here. I heard them for the first time on another channel a few years ago & I listen to them regularly. I only recently picked up your channel & you have fast become one of my favourites & your reactions are awesome. Keep it going as you are brilliant. You make the experience of listening & watching these songs awesome. There are so many awesome artists out there. Another brilliant singer you may like is an Aussie named John Farnham. If you get the chance, give him a shot. Until next time, keep up the great work. Love it.
It would be amazing if some reactors would understand and be reverent and respectful during sad songs and songs to God and not pause! When you pause it becomes about you and not the lyrics. I would love reactors to just sit back and listen and then when it's over then you pause to your hearts content! Listening is a lost art among young people and some adults! I will ammend what I said, you paused 3 times, but still would've loved to see reactors be quiet when you hear a song like this. There are channels that are quiet, but they're few and far between!
Many thanks to Mark Knopfler and the band 'Dire Straits' who made this a hit during the Falkland Islands War........sung from the perspective of a soldier dying on the battlefield...........unbelievably moving 😥
ITS A VERY TOUCHING SONG. great reaction..try their version of " go rest high on the mountain and traveling soldier " and cover me up... you're doing great
I really like your reactions, I would recommend a few different artists/groups. Pentatonix - Amazing Grace , Voiceplay - Valhalla Calling , and Chris Klafford - Imagine
Nothing like jumping in the deep end - right? Not only the amazing ability to make 5 voices sound like a full pipe organ and then like a whisper in the forest, but the emotions it generates. Home Free's holiday offerings range from a wonderous O Holy Night, through Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Snow Globe (a Tim original), and Christmas in LA, to silly things like Grandma Got Run Over, Cold Hard Cash (an Austin original), and Full of Cheer (another Tim original). So many to choose from - and all of them worth listening to. Welcome to the world of HF.
Home Free’s Mary Did You Know?, Angels We Have Heard on High, Oh Holy Night and What Child is This? With Chris Rupp the beatboxer’s brother. Six part harmony in this one. So,so good! Thanks for the reaction and welcome to Home Free’s rabbit hole!!
Music can change you! When you have the opportunity to see them in concert, they will knock your socks off. Keep exploring these talented men. You will love their Christmas music, the solemn (Mary Did You Know) and the silly (Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer). The content Home Free has on UA-cam is expansive. They also have recorded several albums. I hope that you will enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole 🕳️. I look forward to more of your reactions, and maybe more Home Fries. Have a great week!
Tears...always our most true tribute right... a beautiful reaction. Their is so much human goodness and honesty in Home Free... and you nailed it. artists like HF make our world so much richer...
Home Free never disappoints! Welcome to the Home Fry Family! There’s so many to recommend and I hope you eventually will get to react to them all! Go Rest High On That Mountain,How Great Thou Art, and Mayday are a few of my favorites! 😊 I’ve enjoyed your reactions thus far! You seem to have a beautiful soul and you’re a beautiful redhead!
Okay Redhead. Let's change it up with "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer." to lift the spirits. With Home Free you can bounce around and never know what you're going to pull out of the hat.
Well, this was new to me. A white guys a capella? One of those guys has to eat broken glass for breakfast. That was wonderful. They made it a saxon/scandinavian chant. Love from Norway.
You said that so beautifully thoughtful. I couldn’t find anything else to add except thank you for your heartfelt reaction. Sincerely thank you. #HOMEFREE. Every human should be loved instead of warring with others.
Oh, you really went all in with this one! It’s such a special cover! It’s beautifully and tastefully done! I always get chills with those harmonies and that echo gets me every time I watch this one. I am looking forward to you continuing down the Home Free UA-cam rabbit hole! There’s a great variety of genres they’ve covered. They also have 2 albums with mostly originals, and even the albums post Sing Off each have at least 2 originals. You definitely can’t make a bad choice with a Home Free song/video!
I loved that you didn't apologize for how this song made you feel! It makes me cry every single time. I think it's actually better than the original by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler wrote the song about a soldier dying on the battlefield in the Falkland Islands war between the UK and Argentina, but later made it a tribute to fallen soldiers everywhere. I think the theme is "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." My dad was a medic during WWII and survived the Normandy invasion at Utah Beach, and the Battle of the Bulge among many others. He never spoke of his experiences during the war. I saw you react to the crescendo that came right after Chance's solo. I knew it was coming and watched for it. It hit you just as it was supposed to. I truly love this arrangement!
Before I even reach the actual reaction, I suggest that you might go back and re-listen/edit your intro where the song is playing along with (over top of) your commentary. Just a thought. My reaction comments will come AFTER I hear the actual reaction. 😊
Just ran across your channel. I like your honest reaction to songs like these it shows you care and now days thats rare. I love the guys and the songs they've done your in for a treat. Definitely check out there Christmas songs. Do you hear what I hear. Snow globe. And especially when they got to sing with Kenny Rogers. Yes I definitely subscribed.❤🎅 O one more thing can you untangle your headphone cord it's driving me crazy.😂
My poor headphones! They are driving me nuts. They curl up like a phone cord! my computer won’t connect to my cordless.. grrr. Lol. Thank you for subscribing even with my trying headphone chord.
Wow What a great reaction. I'm a long time Home Free fan and Mark Knopfler fan (who wrote the song about the Falkland Island War) and I've seen lot's of reactions to them but yours was the moist touching and I thank you dearly and have subscribed.
Home Free always pays appropriate respect in their covers--especially to the content! Their talent is amazing--and I LOVE their 5-part harmony❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Such a genius touch to show the silhouette of the fellas in front of the window. I know some see it as a "ghost"y reference but it strikes me as a reflection of the POW/MIA flag. We'll never know just how many of those met the same fate as the soldier of this song. 😥

What a beautiful and though comment.
I fully agree with you!!
In my opinion, this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful performances ever, Not only are the voices impeccable, but the video is perfect. Thank you for reacting. Home Free is a once in a generation talent, appreciate them while we can!
Yes!
Vocal perfection! Try HELPLESSLY HOPING for more excellent 5-part harmony!
Ok!
@@redheadedneighbor I was going to recommend that one, the harmonies on that one and "How Great Thou Art" are to die for.
I appreciate your honest reaction. If this one doesn't evoke emotion in you, then you need to check and see if you still have a heartbeat ! This is one of their masterpieces. Looking forward to re-experiencing 'first times' with you on more Home Free.
Thank you for joining me!
This one really hits in the emotions. It is so hauntingly melancholy. The harmonies in this are some of their best. A happy holiday song is needed to lift ones spirits after that.

Happy, check out Cruise.
It's been a treat watching you experience Home Free....Found you on Highly....followed you over for Elvira...or one of those classics...
So if ya want a special treat, reserved for the ladies....it's gotta be: "When a Man Loves A Woman"....to be a bit off color, it's considered a "panty dropper" performance.
I’m in.
I have always been a fan of this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song.

One of their most hauntingly beautiful songs.😢
I think you would like Home Free Ft Oakridge Boys & Jeffery East Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem
Children Go Where I Send Thee ft Kenny Rodgers
Christmas In Dixie ft Alabama
I have been trying to get reactors to react to there incredible version of Away In The Manger it is one of their most overlooked videos and I don’t know why
I know it’s older but it is amazing
All of these sound amazing
I've never heard of them but they were freaking awesome amazing song.❤❤❤
I know, right! I was so impressed!
Helplessly Hoping should be on your to do list. Pure five part harmony. Even Adam joins in with his tenor instead of beat boxing.
🤯
Absolutely 💯 it's beautiful
You have to react to their cover of "Do You Hear What I Hear". It was arranged by their beatboxer Adam, and it's incredible. Thanks for doing Home Free. You're in for a ride.
I’m excited!
You expressed that beautifully. One of their masterpieces.
Thank you
Mark Knopfler wrote this in 1982 in response to Britain's involvement in the Falklands War but it wasn't released until 1985.
Wow. Absolutely stunning. I know that Knopfler is a talent.. but wow
Try listening to "In the Blood", and or "How Great Thou Art."
Those sound great!
This is so hauntingly beautiful. This arrangement was created by the Finnish group Club for Five who gave Home Free permission to use it. Their version is also great, although quite different since it includes male and female voices with instruments. Definitely worth a look. Home Free can make you smile, laugh, giggle with joy, or cry your eyes out. Such talented young men.

A great version of the Dire Straits classic.
Gorgeous!

Yes, yes to it all
I've yet to see Home Free get it wrong. For me it's always, "yep, if I had talent that's how I'd do it".
Lol

They are magicians, not singers. Lol. Amazing
A masterpiece from the guys
This was intense. It sucked the air out of my lungs
It has made grown men cry. And stirred honor and respect for aoldiers across the world.
This was released on Veteran’s Day. It’s very somber, isn’t it? For something to make you laugh, watch “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”. The costumes alone will crack you up.
Oh, boy. I remember the song from when I was little. I’m excited
They have an original holiday song (Snow Globe) That's Amazing!!!!!
Ohhh! Nice!
As a woman, my 5 suggestions to continue with for Home Free would be 1/ Man of Constant Sorrow, 2/ Blue Ain't Your Color,
3/ When A Man Loves A Woman, 4/ Helplessly Hoping, and 5/ How Great Thou Art. Enjoy!
That does sound like a great list!
Great Reaction 😊 Thank you
My pleasure!
Other "can't talk" songs by Home Free - Everybody Walkin This Land and In the Blood and Travelin Soldier
I might faint on those. Lol
So hauntingly beautiful. Makes me cry every time. Thanks for the Home Free reactions. Can't wait for more.
💕
Stunned just like I was!
As a big fan growing up in the classic rock era of the late 60s through the early 80s, which these guy dip into as well, Now I am nearing the end of my journey but so so glad these guys came along at this time and I did not miss out.

Just the humming can get to you. They have lots of moving songs and happy songs and silly songs. Good, honest reaction and I subscribed!😍😄🥲
Thank you. I appreciate that. A whole lot!
I’m surprised no one has mentioned that the shots of Chance and Tim in the windows is the POW flag
You know, some have mentioned it. I think Chance looks like the flag. Good one!@@wesirvin5147
Beautiful reaction ~ thank you. 🍟
My pleasure
Hauntingly beautiful, yet sends a powerful message. They remind me of a pipe organ at the climax. Sends shivers up the spine. Notice there's no beatboxing. Good reaction.
Thank you. It was very organ like!

Thank you so much. This song held more than just their beautiful voices, the intention and longing and gratitude just made it a volcano of sound.
@@redheadedneighbor I would never have thought of that metaphor, but I like it!!
What a lovely heart-felt reaction--thank you. The guys know how to get you in the feels.
For Christmas songs my two favorites by Home Free are Oh Holy Night and Do You Hear What I Hear. The Oh Holy Night arrangement was written by Tim when he was in his teens(late?) and the song and video setting are beautiful. As for Do You Hear, Adam Rupp arranged it.

These guys got me through some dark days with their music and humor. Home Free was cranking out a fun new music video every week or two while they were off the road during the pandemic. As you go through their catalog, you'll see a lot of videos from that period where they were each in different locations with spouses/significant-others behind the cameras.
These guys do have some more traditional Christmas music like "Do You Hear What I Hear", but for fun, I also suggest "Cold Hard Cash (For Christmas)", (co-written by Austin Brown) and "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".

There's so many to choose from! Listen to the old Home Fry's, and we'll steer you right, but with our guys, you can't go wrong! Oh, and Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer is the best!! Peace from Kentucky
Thank you! Much love from Arkansas
Masterpiece. One of my favorites (out of many). I hope you read the blurb under the description, for we are fools to make war with our brothers and our sisters.
I did.💕
This is Home Free's masterpiece. There are no words. Try How Great Thou Art. Another beauty.
Girl, I can imagine how good that is!
The magic and power of music to reach and touch our real genuine selves, by the real and genuine talents of these gifted gentleman. Rb
Yes💕
@@redheadedneighbor Red, btw your collab with Lee Jaay and Stan was brilliant. Please consider more of those, My thing is bringing more reactors together, for the furtherance of all our educations and love of music. The community is large and deep and very welcoming. Rb
Amazing Vocal Performance🙏
So much!
So many different feelings whilst listening to this 👍so different from the Dire Straits Original Cut🤔 @@redheadedneighbor
@@andrewwallace4481 yes, a whole other feel
Enjoy your weekend Deana 💕@@redheadedneighbor
If this song doesn't touch something deep within you, there's something wrong with you! You'll never leave a Home Free song saying "Meh, it was OK." A great song for a great message is Everybody Walkin This Land! And it's got a great message from Tim after the video! I'm sure you'll love it! A couple of fun Christmas songs are Cold Hard Cash for Christmas (an Austin original) and Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Those will cheer you up! Lol! Great reaction for this song!
Thank you so much! 💕💕
Home Free are a group of guys can touch you and make you feel if it's happy sad or funny, these guys are amazing with their harmony's and they are truly brothers. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Fantastic reaction.
Thank you!
Another of their "perfect" songs - arranged by Adam Rupp - is "Do You Hear What I Hear" and is my personal favorite out of their catalogue.
Thank you for that suggestion. That is helpful
Great reaction!! I would suggest one of their fun songs as a followup, Butts Remix/Medley, All About That Base or for a Christmas themed one, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
Fun fact about Home Free. They tried for several years to get on Sing Off but never made it. Not until one of the producers suggested that they bill themselves as a COUNTRY acappella group. None of them wanted to do it except Austin, who finally talked them into it. And of course, they won that year. For any who do not believe this info, Chris Rupp has a series of videos about their formation and he talks about this with Tim and Austin.
That is so interesting!!
As much as I love Adam Rupp's beatboxing, I also appreciate hearing hm as the fifth harmony voice in songs that don't require his percussion work.
Another powerful reaction .....your starting to become my favorite. What do i look for when im looking at a real reaction. Everything your doing. Thank you. Im a fan for life.
Check out Brother to show their other side,, not to be confused with Brother in Arms.
Okay!
When Dire Straits came out with this song in '85, it was amazing and over shadowed by Money for Nothing. Home Free just added a new dimension to the song doing it acapella.
I've heard it many times. A fan of Mark Knopfler and the original Dire Straits song. Your reaction says much. Thanks for sharing that.
Ok now you should really check out “Helplessly Hoping “ if you haven’t already also amazing voice arranging by these amazing vocalist of HomeFree
Also “Listen to the Music “ is good fun and their original “Playing With Fire” is a must hear
A wonderful reaction!! Keep the Home Free Coming!❤
great reaction dear.. please check out their songs "misty mountain "and "cover me up"
I'm glad that youre loving your journey listening to Home Free! There is a hymn that they sing called How Great Thou Art and a song called Don't Laugh At Me. Don't Laugh At Me is about anti bullying and i had to go through that as a child from Kindergarten all the way through my senior year of high school; so I was 5 all the way to 19 by the same people, whether it was at school or in my neighborhood; it was non-stop! I hope you listen, but really try hard not to say anything during the hymn and song! Thank you, and I hope you are well.
The harmonies are fantastic..the song and rendition truly moving. To me the last two chords sound like a pipe organ.
WHY are you talking over the music???
HomeFree is one of my favorites.
Celtic Thunder is another band with harmonies you want to check out. Turning away or Voices from their mythology album are some of the best examples
There's one thing that isn't said enough & that's how awesome human beings can be. Just the emotions that a single musical performance can generate is awesome. Home Free are only one example & what an example they are. I'm an Australian & they are getting a real fan bass over here. I heard them for the first time on another channel a few years ago & I listen to them regularly. I only recently picked up your channel & you have fast become one of my favourites & your reactions are awesome. Keep it going as you are brilliant. You make the experience of listening & watching these songs awesome. There are so many awesome artists out there. Another brilliant singer you may like is an Aussie named John Farnham. If you get the chance, give him a shot. Until next time, keep up the great work. Love it.
It would be amazing if some reactors would understand and be reverent and respectful during sad songs and songs to God and not pause! When you pause it becomes about you and not the lyrics. I would love reactors to just sit back and listen and then when it's over then you pause to your hearts content! Listening is a lost art among young people and some adults! I will ammend what I said, you paused 3 times, but still would've loved to see reactors be quiet when you hear a song like this. There are channels that are quiet, but they're few and far between!
Warning One Voice and Don't Laugh at me are both amazing but I cry every time.
Don't hold your feelings back let them know how the song makes you feel.
Another great harmony song is
Helplessly Hoping
Many thanks to Mark Knopfler and the band 'Dire Straits' who made this a hit during the Falkland Islands War........sung from the perspective of a soldier dying on the battlefield...........unbelievably moving 😥
It is totally hard to listen to this song without tears, man what powerful words
It is totally hard to listen to this song without tears, man what powerful words
They do a great job with How Great Thou Art . Check it out to hear the beatboxer sing a little solo part.
PLEASE REVIEW
"ELVIRA" WITH OK RIDGE BOYS.
Powerful stuff. Gives me chills.
I am a combat veteran (Vietnam) You can not possibly know the good you have just done.
Thank you for this and God bless you.
Thank you so very much. Sincerely.
PLEASE REVIEW,
Go REST ON THAT HIGH MOUNTAIN TOP.
Thanks for this one....it is just hauntingly beautiful! Just subbed for more Home Free! Yay HF Christmas videos...Please check out 'O' Holy Night!
Thank you! I will definitely be doing some!
ITS A VERY TOUCHING SONG. great reaction..try their version of " go rest high on the mountain and traveling soldier " and cover me up... you're doing great
😭 beautiful sad songs
This one needs to be in your Home Free playlist! ❤
I really like your reactions, I would recommend a few different artists/groups. Pentatonix - Amazing Grace , Voiceplay - Valhalla Calling , and Chris Klafford - Imagine
This is going to be exciting!
Well, I am glad something did.😘
☺️
I still Think You are a very Beautiful Lady, Even Tho You rejected me. All I wanted was to be you friend.
@@philnoel5839 thank you. We are friends, i consider you to be my friend.😊
@@philnoel5839 we are, in my mind, friends for sure.
Tough 1 the harmonis are off the chart
Nothing like jumping in the deep end - right? Not only the amazing ability to make 5 voices sound like a full pipe organ and then like a whisper in the forest, but the emotions it generates.
Home Free's holiday offerings range from a wonderous O Holy Night, through Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Snow Globe (a Tim original), and Christmas in LA, to silly things like Grandma Got Run Over, Cold Hard Cash (an Austin original), and Full of Cheer (another Tim original). So many to choose from - and all of them worth listening to.
Welcome to the world of HF.
Thank you so much!
Home Free’s Mary Did You Know?, Angels We Have Heard on High, Oh Holy Night and What Child is This? With Chris Rupp the beatboxer’s brother. Six part harmony in this one. So,so good! Thanks for the reaction and welcome to Home Free’s rabbit hole!!
Thank you!
This is so amazing. These guys harmonize so beautifully. Tim's bass is so awesome. Love your reaction!
Thank you.💕. It’s beautiful! Fascinating how they are so blended
Music can change you! When you have the opportunity to see them in concert, they will knock your socks off. Keep exploring these talented men. You will love their Christmas music, the solemn (Mary Did You Know) and the silly (Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer). The content Home Free has on UA-cam is expansive. They also have recorded several albums. I hope that you will enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole 🕳️. I look forward to more of your reactions, and maybe more Home Fries. Have a great week!
Thank you! I’m really very excited to explore more of their music and meet more home fry friends
Tears...always our most true tribute right... a beautiful reaction. Their is so much human goodness and honesty in Home Free... and you nailed it. artists like HF make our world so much richer...
So good. They are so good
Home Free never disappoints! Welcome to the Home Fry Family! There’s so many to recommend and I hope you eventually will get to react to them all! Go Rest High On That Mountain,How Great Thou Art, and Mayday are a few of my favorites! 😊 I’ve enjoyed your reactions thus far! You seem to have a beautiful soul and you’re a beautiful redhead!
Thank you!
Okay Redhead. Let's change it up with "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer." to lift the spirits. With Home Free you can bounce around and never know what you're going to pull out of the hat.
These are the bands I gravitate to. They find me. The Swiss Army knives of music. Lol
Well, this was new to me. A white guys a capella? One of those guys has to eat broken glass for breakfast. That was wonderful. They made it a saxon/scandinavian chant. Love from Norway.
Lol. I love your vibrant description. Lol. Thank you so much.
did you react the song, original komposed and written by adam chance.... skulls & bones?
Not yet
You said that so beautifully thoughtful. I couldn’t find anything else to add except thank you for your heartfelt reaction. Sincerely thank you. #HOMEFREE. Every human should be loved instead of warring with others.
Yes💕 hugs
Oh, you really went all in with this one! It’s such a special cover! It’s beautifully and tastefully done! I always get chills with those harmonies and that echo gets me every time I watch this one. I am looking forward to you continuing down the Home Free UA-cam rabbit hole! There’s a great variety of genres they’ve covered. They also have 2 albums with mostly originals, and even the albums post Sing Off each have at least 2 originals. You definitely can’t make a bad choice with a Home Free song/video!
I like that! It’s so fun discovering greatness for the first time with fans!
I loved that you didn't apologize for how this song made you feel! It makes me cry every single time. I think it's actually better than the original by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler wrote the song about a soldier dying on the battlefield in the Falkland Islands war between the UK and Argentina, but later made it a tribute to fallen soldiers everywhere. I think the theme is "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." My dad was a medic during WWII and survived the Normandy invasion at Utah Beach, and the Battle of the Bulge among many others. He never spoke of his experiences during the war.
I saw you react to the crescendo that came right after Chance's solo. I knew it was coming and watched for it. It hit you just as it was supposed to. I truly love this arrangement!
This is a powerful song. So very powerful!
Before I even reach the actual reaction, I suggest that you might go back and re-listen/edit your intro where the song is playing along with (over top of) your commentary. Just a thought. My reaction comments will come AFTER I hear the actual reaction. 😊
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Just ran across your channel.
I like your honest reaction to songs like these it shows you care and now days thats rare.
I love the guys and the songs they've done your in for a treat.
Definitely check out there Christmas songs.
Do you hear what I hear.
Snow globe.
And especially when they got to sing with Kenny Rogers.
Yes I definitely subscribed.❤🎅
O one more thing can you untangle your headphone cord it's driving me crazy.😂
My poor headphones! They are driving me nuts. They curl up like a phone cord! my computer won’t connect to my cordless.. grrr. Lol. Thank you for subscribing even with my trying headphone chord.
That's how I feel watching this, and tge feeling never gets old.
Your rxns are a happy gift. Keep em coming RHN
Okay!
Wow What a great reaction. I'm a long time Home Free fan and Mark Knopfler fan (who wrote the song about the Falkland Island War) and I've seen lot's of reactions to them but yours was the moist touching and I thank you dearly and have subscribed.
I am sincerely honored. Thank you.
