If no one else mentions it, this was from their Christmas special from 2020. It was a big 'production' that they crowd funded for. From what I have seen, there was a 'story' to the show that Chance wrote, and various songs. It was streamed for 'ticket holders', but the songs from it were released as videos. Snow Globe, Warmest Winter, Christmas in Dixie, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, this one - any more??? The fans filled the GoFundMe so fast that they added stretch goals - getting Jeffrey East, then The Oak Ridge Boys, and finally Alabama. They were blown away by the fan support.
Thank you!!! "Rob Ruffles!" Love love love that! Rob is such a master of blending no matter where in his range he is singing, isn't he? I always love it when Austin has the lead and Rob does high harmony over top of him. Blending is tough especially when there's not a familial connection between singers (that's a different tangent), but I feel that Rob and Chance are both naturally masters at it mainly because of the tambour of their voices. Austin and Tim's voices cut through more, so I suspect that they have had to work on that skill more than Rob and Chance, but that's just me rambling and being long-winded lol. This song, in my opinion, is a masterclass in a cappella/ensemble singing. Thanks again, guys. Happy New Year to you both. And wishing you all the best in 2024. PS Go Ravens!!! PSS I think this was the same set as Snow Globe. I also think it was the first song they did together after COVID, hence the better quality maybe ...
Can't agree. Austin and Rob have been singing together for 10 years and know how to blend perfectly. I suggest you listen to Moonshine, where Austin and Rob sing a perfect high duet. Tim's bass is intrusive, I must agree, and sometime seems to stick out just so we know it's there.
This song somehow makes me feel lonely, which is possible in the winter. I will always stop what I’m doing to hear Chance take the lead. His voice has that quality to make it feel personal. Then Austin with his brighter voice picking up that hope for love. The harmonies are so sweet that I could pick out each voice! Good song choice to start Home Free FrYDay.
I always get the "Chance Chills" whenever he sings. His voice just hypnotizes me. I do believe they are asking the universal question in this song, because i get so discouraged with this old world. I thank the universe that HomeFree came into my life to show me the beauty and love thru music and to keep love alive. Thank you Jeremy and Jillian for keeping hope alive with your wonderful reactions. Your HomeFree Fridays are magical in lifting my spirits.❤🥰🙏
YESSSS redo some of the old ones, I can't outrun you would be one I'd like to hear Jillian's opinion on. As per usual,it's Home Free perfection. This, like Snow Globe, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem and the Christmas special were all filmed on 4K cameras, and so the quality is PRIMO.
This was part of a pay per view livestream special that they did in December 2020.They were also joined by the Oak Ridge Boys and Alabama. I know it's after Christmas, but you should check out Little Star of Bethlehem.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction! Chance vocals are so sweet. Adams beats, Freak of Nature! 🤯 The staging tech is called XR technology. The guys are standing on a stage and the backgrounds change. This was filmed at the same time as Snow Globe and Warmest Winter where they use the same staging tech.
Thanks Angela…I was trying to remember the name of the technology that Home Free used in their Christmas special in 2020! I think it stands for extended reality…there were a bunch of cameras and sort of a matrix of lights that gave a multi-dimensional effect (that’s my very non-technical description 😂) The technology was quite expensive so they wanted to make as much use of it as possible. This song/scene appeared in the special (as did Snow Globe and Warmest Winter) but if I remember correctly they used the same setup and recorded videos for these songs separately from the livestream recording. However the Beautiful Star of Bethlehem and Christmas in Dixie videos on UA-cam were taken directly from the livestream. (Dani isn’t the only one who’s long winded). Go Ravens!
Loved your reactions, & my favorite part was Jeremy & his "Rob Ruffles". I'm pretty sure you just coined a new Home Free phrase that will be used by Home Fries everywhere from now on!! Definitely there for it if you go back & restart your Home Free journey, you two make me smile when you react together. ❤️
I popped open my laptop in the hopes of finding reactions to certain Austin Brown songs. Of course I put that aside for a moment when I was some new ones from you two. HF's rendition of this song is so beautiful, goes straight to the heart. And I always enjoy your reactions, informative and fun. I'd love to see your reactions to my Austin favorites: Earn It and Off the Grid. And of course there's Hers Ain't Mine (multiple vids on tiktok) and Take the Night Off; these two feature Amberly and I can watch them over and over again.
This one touches me every time! As you said, Jeremy, it’s just perfect on all fronts! Having Chance get it started adds so much, too. Thanks for doing Home Free Fridays.
I love the song. The lyrics are so beautiful. And HF absolutely did a great job delivering the sadness and yet hope for the future. Adam's percussion is always superb. The sound of the gusty wind, the drum beats add so much flavor to it. This one is high on my favorites.
Good morning JnJ ❤❤ perfect way to start my musical day. Love is definitely alive! Rob Ruffles? lol brilliant Jeremy .. combined with Chance Chills and low level Tim .. gorgeous ❤❤❤
Definitely worth going back for "In the Blood" if Jillian didn't do that one along with many others. This one quiets a crowd very quickly in concert. People want to be sure they catch all the subtleties. Great as always guys! Happy holidays to you and all my fellow Fries.
Your reaction to this one was perfect! This song makes me emotional. So now I gotta perk up and straighten up my house and get ready to practice music with a friend at 1pm Mandolin for me and guitar for her. Mention it to tell you how invested I am in music. Would not want a life without it. I am so, so far from good but it's a wonderful endeavor to be working on learning.
Yes start back from the beginning but there are so many other songs to delve into also. I love “Finally Free”, “From Here to the Moon and Back”, “Forever and Ever, Amen”, and “The Driver.” Just a few of the older ones that are missed.
So beautiful. I'd love to see you start from the beginning with their first video and then maybe react to the " From the Vault " behind the scenes videos for their songs as you do them. They have released quite a few. Just a thought. Thanks for the Home Free reactions.
Great reaction, as always. Love the song. Recently saw video of HF doing this live and really appreciated it more because I've never been particularly keen on the visuals of this video. The guys look so stiff, their positions feel awkward. Not meaning to be a downer, but there's a 'cadence' to this which feels bit like a funeral dirge. The build, working toward the end, makes the pacing more obvious. It's what stands out, for me, and what makes thus so unique. Big fan of any time we get Chance up front, being velvety. Tim frequently 'directs' himself with his hand movement; Chance occasionally does it, more when live. Silky Rob countering with his higher tones. And Austin using that 'cry' quality, in his voice, to pull off the mournfulness. Good stuff!
This was from a live online Christmas show that they did when they could not tour. It was released 2 years ago. They had some sets, and it was sort of like those old family shows that had a story, some comedy, and then song performances also in it
This is another favorite but not often listened to song. Sara Bareilles wrote this one. She was a judge on the Sing Off the season before HF was on. I think it’s the same set that Snow Globe was filmed on. Such a pretty song and set. Love the northern lights. Beautiful. Good reaction J & J! 🥰😍 Have a wonderful New Year!
Rob-Ruffles. Chance-Chills. Tim-Blivian. Do you have one for Austin and Adam? Oh, yeah, restart the HF journey! If it's Home Free (or their side projects), I'm here for it! Y'all add value to the listening experience!
I love this song and was so excited to hear you were covering this! I've heard this many times and still tearing up now! My favorite part is when the sky lights up as if God is answering Austin saying Yes, love is alive. It gives me hope.
Awesome Reaction as always when it comes to Home Free simply because it's nothing but the BEST from this group! I do have to say YOU GUYS missed out on a couple seasonal songs but It's not to LATE from Home Free. Home Free-"Christmas Ain't For The Lonely" and "Mary Did You Know". Tis the season! I hope for the love of this group you guys consider reacting to them.... PEACE
This is so very beautiful! This was on a livestream done during the pandemic in December of 2020. It was called Home Free's Warmest Wishes concert. I was fortunate to have seen that concert. Love your reactions!
Wonderful! All those layers. The peace in between, so that for a moment you think it's over and then suddenly they build it up again. The unparalleled harmonies so amazing. Here you have to do more than sing well with each other, this is also about feeling each other well. This is nice. It's perfection
This was made during covid, they made a christmasshow online, that you could by tickets for, and it was GREAT :D The home fries got together and collected the money tomato it happen :)
Firstly thank you Dani. And then thank you a Jillian for your reaction to this song. It’s so beautiful and I loved it. Happy New Year’s to everyone. Be kind and loving to everyone, you never know how someone is feeling. Love all y’all. 🎉
That is a song off their Warmest Winter album. I don't know if you guys have watched the video for Warmest Winter which Austin about his Nani. Always enjoy watching your reactions to these guys.
You mention Adam looking intense. I guess multiple directors have tried to get him to not look so intense, but he just can't do it. He gets kind of hyperfocused and that's it, he's gone. You see it in some of the behind the scenes videos, too -- he's working on something, someone asks him a question, and he's completely oblivious. My son, who's ADHD, does the same thing.
Going back to initial original thinkin' (in general) about Acapella -- reminding myself ... AND Others : ) ... So hard!!! We hear or listen -- to the tune, and then the song/lyrics begin ... learning lyrics according to the tune (or in time of). But, when you are the tune -- ya gotta do your part and ya gotta learn/know each part... staying in time/rhythm and staying focued. Yes, please do go back... but maybe in same order to follow the reasoning leading up to certain songs like Mayday! Yeah, great idea -------- We'll watch, no worries! : ) Be Safe
I loved the review. However, "It's still Winter season" made me laugh. Today is Dec. 29th & Winter officially began Dec. 21st. 🙂 Winter season will be here another 11 weeks, 5 days. You've got time to do more Winter music.
Wow, a wonderful version. Is it just me or has Chance and Rob lost a few pounds and Austin gain a few. They all look wonderful as usual and forever the best sounds and singing.
Such a pretty song. So pretty, easy to listen to. Love your enthusiasm! And I knew I loved you first time I watched. A Ravens fan! Me too!! Since the first season Joe Flaco became their quarterback. Hope they beat those Dolphins. (No offense to Dolphin fans! But a fan has to do what a fan has to do!)
That's right - go Ravens flock!!! Have you seen Flacco with the Browns now?? He's killing it!! Thanks for the nice comment and wouldn't be the same without you here! ✌🏽. Go Ravens!!! 🏈 🐦⬛
@@musikbyjh yes! I saw his last game. I didn’t realize he was playing this season (not watching Browns games). Such a treat to watch him again!! Happy New Year to you and Jillian!
We'd have to go back and watch for context. In general, because Austin is usually highlighted more often and we like to appreciate what each singer is doing. We all hear different, and can't recall the specifics of this one. Thanks for watching!

You two are great! Thanks for reacting to Home Free. I would definitely love you to go back to the old songs.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. They are all amazing. That’s the bottom line 😊❤😊❤
Definitely interested in seeing you start the Homefree journey again. I would definitely travel that journey with you.
Definitely a terrific idea. Will be fun!

Thank you Dani, I love this one! Chance’s lead and Austin’s eyes expressed so much emotion! Thank you Jillian and Jeremy for a wonderful reaction! ❤
So beautiful 😍 Rob Ruffles 😅 YES! Restart the journey 😁
Great reaction Jillian & Jeremy. Thx Dani! Such a beautiful song which I haven't heard for a while. Happy New Year!!
I always get the "Rob Ruffles" 😊
Chance Chills and Rob Ruffles! Love it!
I love this song and was so excited to hear you were covering this! I've heard this many times and still tearing up now! My favorite part is when the sky lights up as if God is answering Austin saying Yes, love is alive. It gives me hope.
The lit up sky looks like the Northern Lights, aka, aurora borealis
Awesome Reaction as always when it comes to Home Free simply because it's nothing but the BEST from this group!
I do have to say YOU GUYS missed out on a couple seasonal songs but It's not to LATE from Home Free.
Home Free-"Christmas Ain't For The Lonely" and "Mary Did You Know". Tis the season!
I hope for the love of this group you guys consider reacting to them.... PEACE
#HOMEFREE.......so pretty!
This is so very beautiful! This was on a livestream done during the pandemic in December of 2020. It was called Home Free's Warmest Wishes concert. I was fortunate to have seen that concert. Love your reactions!
Another "Chance Chills" song ... he has such a smooth , haunting sound ... love these guys !
Stunning as usual!!
Thank you for appreciating the breath sounds. Thay bring a punctuation, and humanity to the song. Well done reaction.
Wonderful! All those layers. The peace in between, so that for a moment you think it's over and then suddenly they build it up again. The unparalleled harmonies so amazing. Here you have to do more than sing well with each other, this is also about feeling each other well. This is nice. It's perfection
One of their best (but they all are). The interplay between Chance and Austin is just gorgeous. Tears once again! Merry Christmas to everyone.
This was made during covid, they made a christmasshow online, that you could by tickets for, and it was GREAT :D
The home fries got together and collected the money tomato it happen :)
Yes, go back and record it!!! Now that y'all are serious Home Fries it will be amazing!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Firstly thank you Dani. And then thank you a Jillian for your reaction to this song. It’s so beautiful and I loved it. Happy New Year’s to everyone. Be kind and loving to everyone, you never know how someone is feeling. Love all y’all. 🎉
Magnificent. I love the song and I dont think homefree can do a bad song.Thanx for the great reaction guys.
Love This ❤
I love how they can capture all emotions!! For me, this is beautifully melancholy! Stay safe this New Year 💝💞
That is a song off their Warmest Winter album. I don't know if you guys have watched the video for Warmest Winter which Austin about his Nani. Always enjoy watching your reactions to these guys.
I saw him do this last year. I think it's my favorite Chance lead.
You mention Adam looking intense. I guess multiple directors have tried to get him to not look so intense, but he just can't do it. He gets kind of hyperfocused and that's it, he's gone. You see it in some of the behind the scenes videos, too -- he's working on something, someone asks him a question, and he's completely oblivious. My son, who's ADHD, does the same thing.
Thanks for reacting to this underappreciated song not many reactors do it.
Beautiful love song. These guys are so amazing

One of my favorites
Thanks for the reation. #HomeFree
This is taken from the Christmas special they did for fans in 2020, I think.
