    The original version is by Cam, a female country artist, and they not only sang it in her original key but (imo) they improved the whole song with their harmonies.

      I am not a huge fan of Cam's vocals. She is an incredible songwriter, but not the best singer, in my opinion. Home Free definitely made the song better.

      Yes, it's easy to take his part for granted when so much is going on with the singers. Then suddenly you go oh wow or wait, Adam is killing it. Without what he does, they would be just a really great quartet with great arrangements on some of these. What he adds into their songs brings most of them up to the highest next level! Good observation Tom!

    Btw, Chance is a bass singer too and in fact was the bass voice throughout this tune. Yet another example of the twin bass beasts ruling the nether regions, upper atmosphere and all points between. Add two stellar tenors, a world-class vocal percussionist, and spectacular arranging? Oh and they're all sweet n goofy too. What's not to love?

    This is one of my favorites. So glad you waited to react to it. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original.

    This is so good and I’m glad you know Tim’s voice well. Some reactors don’t know his voice and so don’t realize he’s the bass singing tenor in this. It’s a bit of a switcheroo with Tim and Chance changing places. Chance is the baritone/bass and sounds so good. Songs with Chance in lead would be I Can’t Outrun You, Yours, Some Girls Do. HF just released a new one called Brothers in Arms and it shows off Tim’s lower register. It’s amazing. Home Free is known for their harmonies and I just love them. Loved your reaction MG! Oh this song is by Cam, she’s a country artist.

    The bass Tim was singing tenor and the baritone was singing bass. It's not an original, Cam is a female country artist that co-wrote and performed this song. If you want to see an Original of Home Free's try "Dreamer" because I love it so much and I think you will too.

    • @johndeeregreen4592

  • @lrfcowper
    @lrfcowper 3 роки тому +41

    You can see why the Fries recommend you wait a bit to watch this. Too many people who see it early get confused as to what the guys' usual parts are. Also, the surprise factor isn't there.
    Chance did all the bass in this. Tim stayed in his high range for the whole song. All five of the guys can sing tenor. The original artist is a woman, and Home Free sang this in her key.
    Adam's beatboxing in this is phenomenal.
    For another song with Tim in his high range, check out Tim's original, Snow Globe.

    • @DennisKovacich
      @DennisKovacich 3 роки тому +1

      I read in the comments on another reaction to this that it was their first (or one of the first) cover after Chance joined them, and that’s why they decided to have Tim showcase his higher range since they finally had someone else to take the bass.
      And I really love “Snow Globe”!

    Chance sings Baritone with the group, but he sang Bass with other groups. He doesn't go as low as Tim, but he has an impressive 4 Octave range of his own :) When Tim is singing lead, the Bass you hear in the background is Chance taking over in the low notes.

    "Mayday (Live)" is an audience-taken video that will definitely surprise you - it's quite different from the studio version. There are lots of live concert videos that - even given the varying quality of the devices on which they were recorded - are just phenomenal. You might also want to watch some of their original songs (both Tim and Austin are song writers & pianists) - Tim's songs include "Snow Globe", "Remember This" and "Understand"; Austin's include "If I Met You Now" on his channel and "Love Me Like That" & "Cold Hard Cash" on H/Fs.

    The beauty of Home Free is that they have 2 basses, but they also have 5 tenors. All 5 members can sing in the tenor range. Even Adam Rupp, who has a beautiful tenor voice. Not an original for Home Free. The original is by Cam, a Country singer. I definitely, however, love the Home Free version better. The original doesn't really bring the emotions out like the Home Free version does.

    Fun fact Chance sang bass for Streetcorner Symphony who were also on the Sing-Off program. Everybody is very tight in the acappella community. Streetcorner Symphony backed up Avi Kaplan when he first started singing again after leaving Pentatonix and taking a couple of years away from music.

    Buck up...the "baritone curse" is nonsense ;) I think those classifications are more about the range a person is most comfortable in, or find the easiest. It certainly isn't to say they can't sing higher or lower. Personally, I think they're the most versatile of all! In these a capella groups, they're the ones who take over the bassline when needed and can fill the higher parts too. Look at Scott Hoying! Chris Rupp (one of the founding members of HF) has amazing range and even Geoff Castelucci classifies himself as a baritone. So, you're in very good company! As for harmonies...imo that's what makes a great a capella group. Check out their cover of Seven Bridges Road...never thought I'd hear anyone do it as well as the Eagles but...they do!
