When I first found this song I watched it over and over and over and no matter how many times you watch it, Tim will still floor you. Great video and great reaction
Tim Foust’s voice is like fine whiskey, smokey and smooth! I’m convinced he’s got that last name because he made a deal with the devil (like the character in German legend named Faust, which is pronounced the same way)
The song is from The Hobbit. It's about when the Dragon (Smaug) attacked and drove the dwarves out of their city. The fire mentioned is the dragonfire that devastated the land and population.
Oh my sweetheart, you are so lovely, and your comments are based upon training, experience, and your intuitive nature. What is stunning to me about this video is the fact there are only 2 voices, layered in such s brilliant way. The editor deserves props. I would love to see the reaction of Peter Jackson, who is the creative force behind LOR as well as The Hobbit trilogy, to this brilliant interpretation of the dwarves' longing for 'home'. Your reaction to the unparalleled voice of Tim Faust touched my heart. He is brilliant. Your reaction to him was wonderful. More! Give me more Home Free reactions.
Peter Hollens with Avi Kaplan (of Pentatonix fame) Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair - another great one to check out. Delicious harmonies and another beautiful bass.
I think you're the first I've heard use my word...RICH. I love your word, resonance, too. Those two say it exactly. I never have been able to stop enjoying the voices long enough to determine how many tracks Peter Hollens laid down. He made an entire choir of himself. That said, Tim Foust resonates in my chest. Being we are both from Texas, he's my guy. J.R.R.Tolkein was a god. May his works live forever. This song is incredibly haunting..
Fun fact : The two singers' video were shot in vastly different locations. Peter was in Oregon (where I live... and I kinda recognize the bedrock of his location... Mt Jefferson Wilderness, if I was pressed to make a guess) while Tim was on Grand Cayman island... kind of amazing that they found two backdrops that were somewhat similar.... though you can tell that Tim's locale has a much darker/lush green while Peter has got lichen at his feat. Both scenes were apparently shot on the same day, but thousands of miles apart. (How does Oregon look brighter than Grand Cayman???)
Have you seen the movie mamma Mia (the first one), all the scenes that are supposed to be at night were shot in the middle of the afternoon. There are ways to play with the light and flip it completely so that might be how.
I started watching and when you paused the video twice before the first word was sung, I thought "I'm gonna like this reaction!!". I knew I was going to get the actual reaction at the exact moment it hit you. I wasn't going to have to rely on you remembering what all you wanted to mention at the end. Some people complain when the videos get paused. Not me. I'm watching a reaction to see the reaction. And that is just what you provided!! Loved it!! Now I'm a new subscriber!! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. :)
it is indeed an amazing thing when two voices on either end of the spectrum come together and jive so well. Our new singer is a baritone leaning tenor, while I, the bass player, am a soprano leaning tenor. When we hit harmonies for the first time in practice on Tulsa Time, he went low and I went high intuitively. Surprised me to say the least. Gave me a chill too.
Peter Hollens has his own studio and takes a song and layers his voice for each part then combines them together and makes it sound like an entire musical group. He did this for this song as well. Tim Foust is a member of the group Home Free. They do all types of music but are primarily associated with American Country music. He has a tremendous range from a medium tenor to an almost sub bass. They are also an a capella group and he and Peter have done a few songs together and at least one time He accompanied the entire group Home Free on a song I think it was a U2 cover. Peter went to the University of Oregon and helped to start an a capella group there. It’s called On the Rocks. I hope you enjoy this.
Your reactions were WELL WORTH the LIKE you got on this video. And the BASS, you're not alone on that one. Tim Foust is amazing. (the Bass from HOME FREE) And Peter Hollens is awesome as well. I heard that there were over 100 layers on this track. And the only two voices, were Peter and Tim. Again, AMAZING. Great Post.
This is a song adapted from a 'song' written by J. R. R. Tolkien in 'The Hobbit' for the Dawrves - which they are supposed to be dressed as. EVERYTHING you hear is VOCAL, performed by either Tim or Peter; that's right, there are NO instruments - that includes the high falsetto note that Peter hits in the background at about 3:30 or so in their vid which is just as incredible as Tim's ending bass note. Peter is well known for his arrangements and multi-layered tracks. Listen again with this in mind and your mind will truly be blown!
Peter and Tim were in the same group some years ago. An A Capella, I think the name was Ball in the room. I think the grown their voices so well together.
Great reaction! You’re not the only reactor who has said they could sleep to this music. As you said they compliment each other so well. So much so, that they have collaborated on more songs - Greensleeves, Bridge over Troubled Water, Sound of Silence and Fire and Rain. Peter is an amazing “a cappella” singer too and is a master of layering. It’s just their two voices on this song. This is from the movie The Hobbit. I feel like these two could be in the picture or Lord of the Rings. Peter also sings with Home Free on Amazing Grace and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. Tim has a 5 octave range and can sing tenor as well as bass and everything in between. Peter probably has a 4 octave range himself. Home Free is amazing and you might want to hear more wonderful harmonies from them. Try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, I Can’t Outrun You, Yours. Also they have a lot of funny videos too. They’re not afraid to be goofy but always sounding good. You sound like you could at least be a baritone. Keep listening and have a good week! Oh forgot, if you watch the ending again...notice the camera shakes at Tim’s last note.
@@jeffreytownsend7814 I would recommend listening to some of his solo recordings. As a singer (I'm not) I think you would find it useful what one voice can do. He's really a master of layering. (I'm partial of his Danny Boy rendition)
New subscriber. I love your reactions! As many have mentioned already-Peter and Avi. Geoff Castelucci "16 Tons", "Blackbird"...If you're wanting highs and lows, he brings them! This performance is just 👏👏👏
First moments of the song i cackled and said... "Nat's gonna explode". Also the phrase you were looking for there is Theater of Nature sound. Try it with headphones
There are very few things in life as wonderful as someone laughing with complete abandonment. So please, never apologise for that! 😍 When you said "music can be like medication", I think you missed it by one letter; meditation. 😉😁 You clearly learned enough in College to recognize the historical relationship between the monks and their use of perfect fifth harmonies in their meditative chants. 👍🏽😎 At the start of the second verse with "The Pines" he (and I) get(s) so much resonance out of that Eb2. It's one of the best moments in the song. 😍🔥 Yes, I'm a Bass too. 😁
Hehehe..whats really really infuriating Tim Faust is completely capable of singing in a high tenor head voice. He has a six octave range. Wonderful....yeah..crazy good!
I need you to do my makeup like that! Holy heck it’s so good! I’m a pro hairdresser of 28 years in the states wish you were closer! Found you today with this video and I subbed!
Darling, you need to see the track Peter Hollins did with Avi Kaplan, "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair." Avi's voice is so rich and resonant.
They really recreated the Hobbit atmosphere, didn’t they? Peter is a genius producer . What you’re hearing is only their voices- layered multiple times with their own harmonies.
Amazing reaction, I love your energy so much! Please check out Rush either La Villa Strangiato or Xanadu (do the live Exit Stage Left tour, it's the best) and prepare to have your mind blown and taken on an epic trip. Peace and love to you all, keep safe, stay strong, we'll get through this together.
The Righteous Brothers were like this. Two voices that were were exact opposite of the vocal range that somehow melded and complemented each other. Like Peanut Butter and Jelly
Would love to see your reaction to Type O Negative (love you to death). Its not like homefree or anything but Peter Steal was amazing. Range was unbelievable. Anyway love your vids .
""There and Back Again" and "An Unexpected Journey" are alternative names for The Hobbit. Those are the title/subtitle of the autobiographical story Bilbo wrote about the events in The Hobbit.
I strongly recommend Home Free - Helplessly Hoping. The harmonies are absolutely transcendent! You will be moved to tears by its beauty!
100% agree ....its beyond stunning
It's my favorite bar none
When I first found this song I watched it over and over and over and no matter how many times you watch it, Tim will still floor you. Great video and great reaction
Tim's last note here is a growled G#1. :)
Tim Foust’s voice is like fine whiskey, smokey and smooth! I’m convinced he’s got that last name because he made a deal with the devil (like the character in German legend named Faust, which is pronounced the same way)
If you want more of Peter and Tim's amazing voices, I recommend their versions of The Sound of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water and Greensleeves.
Outstanding cover.
That last growl, was so, so Primal
The song is from The Hobbit. It's about when the Dragon (Smaug) attacked and drove the dwarves out of their city. The fire mentioned is the dragonfire that devastated the land and population.
Tim actually makes the camera vibrate on that last note.
Geoff Castelluci who has a couple of vids on how to do that Growl safely has said that Tim is the master of the Growl.

I love watching you. Every time you look different and make me chuckle. Plus You have great input and responses.
I would suggest Peter Hollins and Home Free singing Amazing Grace!
"OK, I'm out"
What´s so amazing about Tim Foust , yes he´s known for his low notes but he actually has a beautiful tenor voice , his range is 6 octaves
Tim has personally said that he has a 5 octave range - not 6.
Tenor: Well that takes the biscuit.
Tim: Hee, hee.... Watch this.....

The town in Grand Cayman is called Hell because of the lava like landscape
Have you seen the movie mamma Mia (the first one), all the scenes that are supposed to be at night were shot in the middle of the afternoon. There are ways to play with the light and flip it completely so that might be how.
The layering is spectacular in this of both their voices.
That's how most reactors react to when Tim hits thatow note. The camera actually shakes when he hits it.

Tim Foust literally shakes everyone.
Gregorian Chat in the middle ages type of vibe. Hollens and Foust dressed for a Middle Earth Larp. (Live Act Role Play)

I always LOVED this song from the hobbit. When I was a kid we listened to it on the radio complete with this song. Back in the 70s.....:)

It was Ball in the House.
@@marciag7342 Thank you for correct me.

Geoff Castallucci just released his cover of this! Give it a look!
Peter layers his voice and harmonizes with himself. Tim provides the bass. There are only two performers!
The stuff you remembered in choir... That was Peter Hollins layering his voice in at least two maybe three tracks for the background voices.
Peter said on his channel that there were more than 120 layers
@@Templar451 Wow! I did not know that. Impressive.

It has a strong Gregorian Chant feel.
I love you laugh and the sounds that accompanying it.
It's calming and kind of hypnotizing also.

you needs to hear geoff castalucci next. "take me home country road" He is another bass from an acapella group called voiceplay!!!
Tim nailing the G#1 is beautiful.
Knew this would blow your mind. Tim is one voice all of the rest are Peter layering his voice. Peter said this on another reaction.
If this doesn’t blow a person away, nothing will !!
This song feeds my soul, at least that's how I describe my enjoyment of it. Peter Hollens and Tim Foust have a few songs together that are beautiful.
Goal in Life: Make Voice sound like Cello
Was waiting for your reaction to that last note...and you did not disappoint!!!!
I love your style!
I love watching music reactions but you make it so enjoyable
I'm a soprano and I wish I could sing bass lol I totally understand!
There are very few things in life as wonderful as someone laughing with complete abandonment. So please, never apologise for that! 😍

16 tons Geoff castiluchi you will love it
I can highly suggest: voiceplay "my mother told me". it might shake you
also: lovely reaction. enjoyed it a lot
You might enjoy VoicePlay's new song, "My Mother Told Me" :)
Grandgrandpa (70) here. You are wat you are. You are verry sensitive and good. But come to the Point!! Love you, Man.
Hehehe..whats really really infuriating Tim Faust is completely capable of singing in a high tenor head voice. He has a six octave range. Wonderful....yeah..crazy good!
Tim has personally said that he has a 5 octave range - not 6.
You Crack me up! I love it! ❤️
Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan (formerly of Pentatonix) collab on Black is the color of my true love's hair. This you must experience.
YES!!!!!
As a singer, you'd appreciate their cover of Credence Clearwater's "Hopelessly Helping."
Not CCR that song is actually called Helplessly Hoping and it’s from Crosby Stills and Nash ...
I need you to do my makeup like that! Holy heck it’s so good! I’m a pro hairdresser of 28 years in the states wish you were closer! Found you today with this video and I subbed!
Avi Kaplan and Peter Hollins
Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair.
Oh hell. Check out a fun one - how about the Butts Remix. They have a great sense of humor to go along with all that talent.
Oh Man of constant sorrow Adam Rupp is a Great Beatboxer.
Also, please consider listening to Peter Hollen and Avi Kaplin singing Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair. Mesmerizing 😵
they do a version of sound of silence that is remarkable. thank you for the reactions smiles and love
If you like Peter Hollens in this song, try reacting to Black is the color. It is a duet with Avi Kaplan (former member of Pentatonix). Mind Blowing!!
So glad you took my suggestion!!!! Check your Instagram for a special surprise
Darling, you need to see the track Peter Hollins did with Avi Kaplan, "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair." Avi's voice is so rich and resonant.
I love Peter Hollens
Wow, this so reminds me of Ulver’s “Eos” from their “Shadows of the Sun” album. Very cool.
i would suggest home free how great thou art
I have very little education ADHD I struggled in school, I taught myself to play instruments.
They really recreated the Hobbit atmosphere, didn’t they? Peter is a genius producer . What you’re hearing is only their voices- layered multiple times with their own harmonies.
If you like bass try Geoff Castelucci and/or Voiceplay
I agree, Geoff's bass is epic! Their newest release "My Mother Told Me" would be a great one to react to. :D Peace, love and light to you!
If you do more Home Free people will listen us Homefries down the Rabbit Hole join us 🐇🕳❤️
Amazing reaction, I love your energy so much! Please check out Rush either La Villa Strangiato or Xanadu (do the live Exit Stage Left tour, it's the best) and prepare to have your mind blown and taken on an epic trip. Peace and love to you all, keep safe, stay strong, we'll get through this together.
Peter was in Colorado while Tim was in the Caribbeans ..... Peter said he mixed over 150 different tracks to create this.
It's definitely very Gregorian chant like. Great correlation.
Please do Home Free/ Man of constant sorrow, and Sea Shanties.
The Righteous Brothers were like this. Two voices that were were exact opposite of the vocal range that somehow melded and complemented each other. Like Peanut Butter and Jelly
The next Peter Hollens song you try make it “Come Little Children/The Hanging Tree” mashup.
Primal is the word you're looking for....
I love Tim Foust, but if bass voices are your thing, Geoff Castelluci will rock your world.
If you like bass singers, try reacting to Avi Kaplan's "Change on the rise.
Home Free and Peter do a gorgeous cover of I Still Can’t Find What I’m Looking For- with full Patreon fans choir!!!!!!!
This was sung in the movie the Hobbit
wow
Would love to see your reaction to Type O Negative (love you to death). Its not like homefree or anything but Peter Steal was amazing. Range was unbelievable. Anyway love your vids .
I LIKE YOU!!
I believe it was unexpected journey lord of the rings
Close, it's from the Hobbit, but same universe. :D Peace, love and light to you!
""There and Back Again" and "An Unexpected Journey" are alternative names for The Hobbit.
Those are the title/subtitle of the autobiographical story Bilbo wrote about the events in The Hobbit.
@@aprilvoecks5877 I know that, but they mentioned Lord of the Rings, which it's not, it's from The Hobbit.
react to amazing grace by peter hollens ft. home free
You: Toss toss
Me: Well you'll practice
Hello nat, after that every man has tested his bass note and failed miserably.
Gregorian chant is what I was thinking of, I deleted other comments.
Listen to more Home Free and Peter Hollens. You will be amazed trust me.
Was the word "Gregorian"?
lol this guy xD
Any Harry Potter fans who think part of the ahhh’s in the middle sounds like the mermaid song?
Jim could go five octaves he can go all the way to the top obviously all the way down to the bottom the man is unbelievable
I did that with voice text sorry Tim not Jim
