    I love seeing that look of pure joy you got while reacting to this! They do the same to me. Home Free is my favorite group, and I don't just mean my favorite a cappella group. Yes, there are a couple other a cappella groups who are also fantastic. But there is just something extra special about what these men do with their performances.

    Great reaction! This is the way this song was originally sat in the b&w prison movie of the mid 1950s called “Unchained” They brought it home in more ways than one.

  • @jeannebrown3254

    I loved your reaction! And your picturing someone doing hard time, missing a loved one is accurate. This song was written for the 1955 (?) movie called Unchained. It was about a man in prison, trying to decide whether to do his time, or escape and live life on the run. The fact that Home Free did the video in jail cells was brilliant and I actually felt this song more than other versions. Thank you for a great reaction!

    The song was written for the movie Unchained. The director refused to have the song in the movie unless the song's title had the title of the movie. Therefore this very sentimental romantic song has the jarring title of Unchained Melody.

    A wonderfully sung and performed cover of Home Free. With their own twist to it, but still keeping the respect for the original. The leads, the harmonies, the Doo-wop, the bass, everything just so good. Also wonderful how they bring back the real story. Beautifully portrayed in black and white and the shadow on the wall of the inhuman Adam

Would love for you to react to more Home Free, some of the older and of course the new originals. Austin, Tim and Chance are terrific songwriters, on their newest album 12 of the 14 songs were written by Austin and Tim. Would love to see you react to "Playing with Fire" !!!

  • @babyfry4775
    @babyfry4775 Рік тому +3

    I agree with you about HF. They just have a way with making a song their own. They went back to the roots of the song. It was originally written for a movie Unchained in 1955 about prison. Loved the typewriter, loved Tim starting and Austin finishing. Tim was just showing a little bit of his 5 octave range. He can sing so low and then sing up with the tenors. Just loved this. Good reaction!!🥰

  • @barbarakennedy2667

    Home Free went all the way back to the song's origin for the inspiration of their video. The song was written for the theme music of a black and white movie named Unchained released in 1955. It was set in a prison.
    The movie is available to be watched on UA-cam.

I also listen to other a capella groups (vocal bands) and they are wonderful but Home Free as far as harmonies are the best‼️. Thank you for your reactions ‼️🤗 Their new one " Playing with fire " is an original and one I think you should check out immediately 😉 ❣🤗

    @teresacartwright5406 Рік тому +3

    The version by the Righteous Brothers (rest in peace Bobby Hatfield) popularized the song and I've always loved their music. Home Free puts the song back where it originated (in jail) and in the period (with a kind of doo-wop vibe). As always, their singing, harmonies & beatboxing are terrific! Austin Brown has a solo version of his channel that's sooo good! Thanks for playing this & your comments.

  • @itzel1735
    @itzel1735 Рік тому +12

    Before Home Free did this, Austin dropped a version of just him singing “Unchained Melody” in his living room, accompanied by guitar.
    That could have been the encore. 🙂

    Without saying a word your face spoke volumes... this version hit me the same way.
    These guys really know how to make a song their own while paying homage to the original version - Righteous Brothers (which wasn't the original / see Jeanne brown below)).
    Keep up the good work on these guys!

  • @ElizabethRoss-uj8rl
    @ElizabethRoss-uj8rl Рік тому +15

    Watching your response to this made my morning coffee so much better. Home Free has, indeed, added a new benchmark to the expression of this iconic song. They simultaneously took it back to its prison origins while making it their own. HF is my favorite of the amazing a cappella bands so popular right now, and while others might join Bobby Hatfield in wrenching the heartstrings, none will top HF's version.

  • @Cat-fi4ie
    @Cat-fi4ie Рік тому +7

    Loved your reaction. Some finally gets the true meaning of this song... I agree with you that Home Free doesn't really change the song they update songs... I have a suggestion for you. Song suggestion is Wayfaring Stranger. Sung by Adam Chance of Home Free featuring Hound and the Fox. It's not a capella but OMG it's beautiful

  • @leslieoneal4464
    @leslieoneal4464 Рік тому +34

    I see a few original artists you've reacted to recently that our boys here have actually covered! Some are the same songs you reacted to, so SOON might be a good time to watch Home Free's versions while they're still fresh in your memory. 👍😉
    Just a few examples from a quick search of your playlist:
    "Take Me Home, Country Roads" (John Denver) - I honestly never thought anyone could cover this one and do it justice! They worked on the arrangement for 5 yrs to make sure they got it right. They succeeded beyond my expectations as a huge John Denver fan! Beautiful rendition!
    "Brothers in Arms" (Dire Straits) - An absolute masterpiece. 🤯 Hauntingly beautiful with 5-part harmonies that'll touch your soul. (No beatboxing. Adam sings harmony!) If you appreciate Tim's lows, you'll really love this one!
    "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" feat. Kenny Rogers!! Kenny reached out to Home Free to help with this song to put on his (last?) Christmas album. It's mesmerizing! Although it wasn't too long before he passed, his voice sounded great! After he passed, HF did "The Gambler" in tribute. Both are definitely worth watching. 👍💞 Watch all the way to the end of the first video to hear Kenny explain how they got together! 😉
    "Bless the Broken Road" (Rascal Flatts) - Some of the beautiful sounds they create in this one still leave me awe-struck and I've followed them for years! 😳🎶❤
    "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (U2) - this one is on Peter Hollens' channel. His and HF's patrons joined them in this EPIC collab during the lockdowns!! OMG, it's amazing!
    "Ain't Going Down ('til the Sun Comes Up)" (Garth Brooks) - You watched Garth do this one. You'll freak out when you hear it a capella!! LOL It's unbelievable what these guys can do and Adam Rupp's drumming and "harmonica" solos (minus a dang harmonica!!!!) are ridiculous!! 😳🤯🔥
    Unfortunately, due to copyright issues, it's not on YT. It is, however, on HF's Facebook page and can be reacted to on here. Trust me, it's well worth it! 👍
    Ok That's enough. I'll be shocked if you even read this, truth be told. I hope you do, though! You will absolutely be stunned by every single song I've listed here! 🎶😉 You asked what you should do next. Take your pick (or do them all! Lol).
    Might as well add a couple of their originals! Lol One from a few years ago and one only a few weeks old. Both are SO good and give a great idea of what these guys can do without it being a cover. 👍
    "Catch Me If You Can" (totally different sound and catchy!) and
    "Playing With Fire" (a steamy, sexy one with an R&B flair)

    Home Free ARE a vocal band & less an a capella group. As much as I like PTX & Voiceplay, I cannot group HF with them.
    They don’t need to take you on fancy vocal arrangements or interpretations. They just reimagine a song they are covering as if it were their own. AND, being a vocal band, the lyrics take front stage & you hear the song differently.

  • @anitawright7169

    @dagmar.6954 Рік тому +2

    The Righteous Brothers had a big hit with "Unchained Melody" in 1965. Home Free did such a beautiful rendition of this classic song. They added an old school doo-wop feel to it. The video in prison is very fitting as this song was originally written for the 1955 prison film "Unchained". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or finishing his sentence and returning to his wife & family.

    Actually they stayed true to the original even the 50's style do wop as the song was written as the theme to a 50's prison movie entitled "Unchained". I agree, they are the best at taking any song and making it their own through their unique mastery of harmonization and arrangement plus their vocal talents. Their choice of setting for their videos also fit so well with each song. I am a Home Fry. Loved your reaction and comments. Looking forward to the next reaction. Check out some of their newer releases of original songs they have written. They are great as well.

    @richarddaugherty8583 Рік тому

    As a fan of Bobby Hatfield's solo of this song on the Andy Williams show (1965, I think), which I have long considered the gold standard; this version is at least as good but in a different way. The song is from a (bad) 1950's movie called Unchained and the song is exactly what these guys represent, but not done nearly as well in the movie. This is a return to what the song was originally about, and they nailed it! The only thing I could wish for as a change was for Austin to go high with backing harmonies at the last note, as Bobby Hatfield did in his three minutes of perfection.
