A couple of you have commented on the "arr" pun; apparently my "arrrrr" pirate imitation isn't quite up to standard It's a 3-way pun: 'our', 'arrrr' and 'arrangement'
😂😂
😂😂
Thanks for pointing out the pun
You must see Adam Chance solo release of Leave Her Johnny - there is a special few surprises ua-cam.com/video/kadxn4VPcN0/v-deo.htmlsi=z50SxfyB9kI9oSRk
This medley is Chance’s baby he is the Sea shanty guy in Home Free.
Ubisoft heard this medley and loved it and approached them with an an amazing opportunity to write a shanty for Skull And Bones which Chance wrote it called Skull And Bones.They just released a video for it .
There is a live version where you can see Adam setup the loops for the percussion on this song. He uses his fist on the table to get the same effect as Chance on the guitar.
They have a CD called The Sounds of Lockdown which has some of the music they put out during lockdown. Their creativity and drive to put out new music and videos even under less-than-ideal conditions (they were recording their singing parts in their respective closets), really helped a lot of us get through some tough times. I work in healthcare and was quite busy during that time, and their songs were so uplifting during difficult times.
And I think the Sea Shanty is a bit longer on the cd.
@@itzel1735 yes it is. There's also a song-only UA-cam video with the extended version.
We sang “what do you do with a drunken sailor” in elementary school music class.I can imagine that the topic of drunken sailors would be off the table for music classes today at least for small children. We didn’t think anything about it.
That's awesome! We sang Drunken Sailor too in elementary school! 😅 We also thought nothing of it .😂
Saw these guys in concert three nights ago ... what a party ! They sound even better in person , if that's possible ! This was one of their encore songs that had the entire audience on their feet and singing along ! #HOMEFREE
I can believe it! The live performances I've seen of theirs are crazy good
@@SirHairless When I saw them on The Sing-Off, there were two things that stood out, their close harmonies and they knew how to entertain.
They have a live version of this that they recorded in Minnesota and it rocks😎
I think Sir should watch it if only to see how they transitioned from film to stage.
@nancyholter5646 yes! ❤
It sure did rock
@@nancyholter5646agreed
I just saw these guys in concert on Thursday night!! They did this song and the shanty that Chance wrote for the video game Skull & Bones. it was fantastic!
So much fun to sing this song along with a thousand other people.
Oh. I hope they sing that one in Kansas City. I love it. ❤
@@MaKettle111 I would be very surprised if they didn’t.
I saw them on Sunday night and they sang the video game song but a different encore.
Santiniana is my favorite, too! Something about the beat & Austin's voice. 😊
☠️ .. 🏴☠️ ... you are really something Sir Hairless ... I have listened and loved this medley so many times. It certainly was a help during the Covid months. Home Free brings the smiles for sure. But now .. after you offered your breakdown, I understand and like it even more. I think it should have 200 million views , or more. Thanks for staying with Home Free during your UA-cam journey Sir Hairless. I really hope you get to "Blue Ain't Your Color" .. covered by Home Free , which features Rob on lead vocals. The harmonies are just beautiful. 🏴☠️ ... ☠️
🏴☠
@@SirHairless DEFINITELY do Home Free's version of "Blue Ain't Your Color", (originally by Keith Urban).
Rob and Chance.
It’s old school and lovely.
One of the few times they are outfitted more traditionally. This one and “Pretty Woman”.
The live version is fantastic. 🇬🇧
Watch the live performance, seeing all these people singing with them is a striking view.
The thing that I alsways strikes me with this medley is how much faster they get with every song
Same thing here - I noticed from the first and i think it's part of why I like it so much. Feels like you're racing to the finish somehow
Santiana is a Home Fry favorite. I have always wanted to hear a full version of that song. Thank you for the reaction to the guys. Just FYI I don't know about other folks, but the only sea shanties I knew before I had heard this medley were the first two, as well. Thank you for reacting to this one. I would be remiss if I didn't add that the live version they have released in the past year or so is even better.
I also want a full length Santiana badly.
Another great analysis, Sir!
Three HF songs come to mind still for filthy harmonies: Brothers In Arms, Go Rest High On That Mountain, and Take Me Home Country Roads. Another personal favorite that features Chance on lead is “I Can’t Outrun You”. I look forward to your next reaction , whatever the song may be.
I appreciated your reference to the “arr.” There’s another possibility, too. Here we have a “Talk Like a Pirate” Day, this year it’s September 19th. People who participate go around saying “arr,” “aye matey” “shiver me timbers,” and other piratey phrases. Some even dress up a bit similar to the way they are in this video.
Ahh yes that's the obvious one, I thought I spoke the "arrr" to reference that but perhaps it wasn't obvious enough Someone else commented the same thing
It's a 3-way pun: our, arrrr and arrangement
It's September 19th every year. It's my daughter Iaw's birthday so she gets a lot of pirate jokes from hubby and I.
Tim was dressed like Captain Jack Sparrow, but Austin was channeling his spirit (expressions, gestures, etc.)!
🏴☠
Brilliant when performed live to an enthusiastic audience. Now you need to react to Skull and Bones, the shanty Chance wrote following the success of this medley.
You are right. "Skull and Bones" video is like watching a movie. Fantastic job Chance on writing it.
Chance seems able to talk these guys into very entertaining videos. Yes, they surely did keep us entertained during lockdown. All the videos they did were the best part of lockdown! I enjoy your breakdowns of all the “filthy” harmonies they do. I’ve come to expect that slight ear irritation and then the resolve. I’ve gotten so that I would prefer to listen to music and not turn on the TV. It’s been a delightful time, Sir. 🎶 Cyd
Most of the tik tok videos were made to their version. If you go and watch some of those old dances you can tell because you can clearly hear Tim ‘s low notes. That’s what made this one go viral
I saw them perform this live last night! It’s the perfect encore because everyone in the audience stands, sings along and claps as the tempo gets faster with each song. Just a fabulous way to end an amazing experience. P.S. I enjoyed your reaction, as always, and I love Adam’s castanets!
Sea Shanties have been popular (especially in pubs and bars) in New England since the whaling days. The work songs have such strong rhythms and simple words that allow any motley crew to join in, the choruses at least. The extended use of Tim's bass and Adam's creative "castanets" added great flavor. The commentary on the chords enriched my appreciation.
This is so much fun. Adam's castanets are absolutely my favorite thing about it. The first time I heard it I had to back up to make sure I wasn't imagining them. The live video of this is great and gives you a good idea of what their concerts (otherwise known as parties) are like.
As always you video explains so well everything that we hear. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love of music with us.
Don't know how anyone could not love these guys.❤️❤️❤️
Another person here to recommend that you listen to the Live version. It'll give you a feel how HF sounds live and how the crowd reacts to them. (Professional high-quality live videos are very rare. Cellphone videos -- lots.) Also, I believe HF was surprised when this video went viral. It wasn't a genre that they sang (except Chance). But covid lockdown was a strange time calling for different ways to get through it. BTW, don't feel bad about not knowing all the shanties. I've seen many reactors react to this, and only 2-3 knew all of the shanties. (One lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, natural place for sea shanties.)
They helped so many people thru the lockdown.
The U.K. have the Cornish group called Fisherman Friends who became quite famous and two films ensued telling their stories. I believe they still go down by the beach each week to perform. Hope I’m not wrong. Love a sea shanty.
I've seen Fisherman Friends live You're not wrong, they perform outside the pub in Port Isaac (I think)
How good are these guys? The fun & energy in this is infectious. This was done during quarantine so none of the guys were even together. The editing of this was great & was done in the Tik Tok style. Love all the guys parts, with Tim's rumbling bass underlying it all. And Adam's beatboxing is phenomenal as always including sea swells & castanets. Amazing how he increased the tempo from one song to another. They recently released a professional live recording of this medley.
who but Adam would even think to do castanets - at that speed?
Ok, I don't have any idea why, but this made me tear up. Is it just me that feels really connected with these guys when they're being such goobs? Love this, love to sing along, loved your reaction and seeing your enjoyment. Thank you!
Nah, not just you.
Thank you! I enjoy your analysis, be it a straightforward Shanty or a complex chorale-type arrangement :)
Do not feel bad about not knowing those last shanty's, I don't think many of us did know about them before this medley.
Adam's castanets, like his "no-monica", (Take a listen to "Ain't Goin' Down til the Sun Comes up for a couple of fun solos with the "no-monica"), sound is simply amazingly accurate. How he can be so fast at producing those sounds is mind boggling.
What I was impressed most by was the ending of the medley - They took us back through all the different shanty's in reverse order as sung until they brought it all back to the last one again to end it. Overall, an amazing arrangement by Adam Chance and recorded under a difficult conditions.
I thought that they brought each sea shanty back at the end not sure Sir caught that. That’s how good they are.
Hah! At last I have something in common musically with Sir Hairless! I also knew the first two songs in the medley, but didn't know the others until hearing them here.
This video/medley is just so much fun! Just don't ever let Austin have a sword again - he seems to think it's a baseball bat!
There were a bunch of Tik Toks created a couple of years ago which used this medley to perform a relatively short dance routine - if you'd like to see some, just search for Sea Shanty Dance and you'll find a number of them.
Haha, I was wondering about Austin's sword - I thought it looked rather real
I believe it's a Masonic sword or somesuch he inherited from an uncle or the like. So it's real, but not sharp, as it's intended for ceremonial use.
Thanks for the lesson, Sir. Loved it. Learned stuff. Habitual factoid... I would say Chance and Rob are more New England whalers from the north. Adam and Austin are Southern pirates. Austin's from Georgia. Georgia has a little island off Savannah called Tybee which was a pirate haven. From Savannah down the coast of Florida is all pirate county. Tybee has a pirate fest every Columbus Day where the entire town goes pirate. It's so much fun. Even the road signs say ARRR THERE BE TRAFFIC. We even went on a recreation of a pirate schooner for a cruise down the Savannah river. St. Augustine in Florida has the pirate museum. Either one could be where Austin got that shirt.
I think Rob would be at home in North Carolina as Blackbeard!
Chance’s shirt with the Z is from the Bill Murray film “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou”
@@carolburnett190 bet he would love that. Although he'd die in that flannel.
A great idea from Chance who likes a lot of those Sea shanty songs and in my opinion really has the voice and appearance for them. Besides each having their great part in this medley, I really love the beatboxing with castanets sound! It was done in the TikTok style, which is why I regularly see / hear come by at the TikTok videos. The live version is great too
You were kidding about the arr pun, weren’t you? Arr is, quite famously, the sound that pirates make, as in, “Arr, Billy…” generally followed by a lewd suggestion. 😂
Aye! Check the pinned comment 😅
Adam was GREAT with the percussion! Wow! Love the castinets he added in, and all the synchopation! 💖
Another gem of analysis .
This is so much fun to listen to! Once again the harmonies were fantastic and Adams Rupps ability to make that castanet sound was amazing! The sound of the very end is very similar to the flyby sound he makes at the end of God bless the USA! That would be another great song for you to react to!
They sound just as amazing doing this live! I was lucky in that I was able to see them live as the current group that they are and they did this song. It was definitely a crowd favorite!
Also.. I’m going to keep asking for you to react to/teach us about Austin’s rendition of Le Mis “Bring Him Home” Honestly… I think you will LOVE it! I can’t afford Patreon, but I would pay for that one if there is a way for a payment on a single song! It’s totally worth it. Thanks again for a great video! ❤
The HF guys showing their creativity once again: the TikTok format to manage their separation during quarantine ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Tim staying so still to keep from falling out of the boat he's standing in--it makes me laugh because every time I see him in this I think of the animated pirate dolls in Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean. 😆
And those castanets!! Adam Rupp's percussion and sound effects are second to none!! 🥰
#HomeFree
Yes! And the waves breaking on the bow of the ship!
Can almost feel the spray on my face. 😁
Ха ха! Как здорово почувствовать себя пиратом! 😂 Спасибо, это было весело! 💃💃
Yes a happy and fun song indeed. I knew this song few years ago because many dancing video’s performance in some social media with this song, maybe kind of challenge dancing. And at that time I don’t know yet about Home Free until I searched whose the singer is. It’s really fun music and can move us to dance. Love this song a lot 🥰and thanks to your reaction 🙏🏻
I only knew one shanty to begin with. Chance loves shanties and brought the idea to the boys during Covid. Tim didn’t move much as he was standing in a boat. You can tell Austin majored in musical theater with the sword (think it’s a family members sword). You’re about the only reactor to hear both the castanets and the water sound that Adam does in the last song. This went viral during Covid and attracted the game maker Ubisoft to them. They asked them to write a new shanty for their game Skull and Bones. Chance wrote a banger and you can see the video (along with a lyric video and a short live video they did for the Ubisoft crowd). There is music in it (which I think Ubisoft wanted). It’s great! Good reaction SH. Yeah I liked that last shanty….you can dance to it. 😍😄
I really liked the video the guys released of "Skill and Bones". It was like watching a movie!
I think I heard my husband singing some of that to our boy. Actually maybe to get a food-box, some bubbles and toys and start sea season tomorrow:)
I think you’ll love their Sea Shanty Live video. It’s so good- and you can really hear the power and and depth of Rob’s vocals.
This version also went viral during lockdown. Alot of TikTok videos used it, so I've heard. You always have the best analyses. Thank you!
Love this medley, great reaction again.
They sing so perfectly.
This is cool and gives good vibes...
This madley, and 'still not found what i'm looking for' are kind of sad (minor or ironic and during covid) but gives you real smiles and are fun. And ikanaide is a song that made you angry because of it's beauty and became one of your Favorits.... music is god. The ways are unfathomable
We just love music
@@SirHairless True
Really enjoyed watching you react to this. So much fun, isn't it.
Great analysis as usual. I always admire how much stamina it takes to perform this medley. They always perform this as an enchore on their live shows.
One of HomeFree’s songs that sounds very simple is their cover of John Mayer’s “In the Blood”.
Adam is doing the most basic percussion, just a thump and a slap. Nothing fancy from any of them.
But I love how such a simple song can trigger a swell of emotions.
Before I first saw their video, I only knew “Drunken Sailor” and “Santiana” (I had totally missed the “Wellerman” fad). Although I knew “Santiana” as “Santy Ano,” as the folk group The Weavers had it when they covered it back in the 1940s.
Funny story: my Spotify kept throwing this song up as one of the first options every new session. Then I saw them live, and this was one of the songs they sang. I wonder if my Spotify account knew something I didn't...
You should check out their live version that they had recorded - it really captures the fun of seeing it live.
Another marvelous group for sea shanties and folk songs is the British group The Longest Johns.
I would LOVE to see your review and breakdown of chris rupp featuring home free on who's child is this. It's soooo hauntingly beautiful. I think that you would really enjoy this arrangement and performance.
I loved this! You are so much fun! My grandson is having a pirate party , for his 4th Birthday. Definitely playing this medley! I think your chosen profession is YOU! Thank you, my friend! ❤🇺🇸👍
Not that I know any or knew any, I do remember something about 'em ....... But now -- I do know these as performed by these fine & talented gents! : ) Thank you!!! Be Safe
It was a great boon in lockdown to hear this, great catchy tunes. Also their Skull & Bones is amazing.
For Sea shanties check out the Longest Johns, they also did at least 2 Community choir shanties in lockdown (Wellerman 6500 contributed & Leave Her Johnny - editor needs a medal ! ) and more since then.
Really enjoy your reactions and reviews of the Home Free videos. Just wanted to let you know that this Sea Shanty Medley sounds just as good live!! They are just amazing in concert.
God !! i sooo enjoy your reactions Sir, a bit of history and context, a truly amazing and detail analysis , in one word: perfection !
Try the live version , it's pretty wonderful 😁
Can't wait for the next one !!
😍😍🎉🎉🍟🍟
Great analysis. This is such a fun video! What I noticed this time was that their video at times mimicked those sea shanty video clips you showed at the beginning of your analysis. Another subtle allusion. I was never a fan of country music, but I'll listen to Home Free any time! Several have mentioned this: I hope you do Brother in Arms soon! Your videos have helped me understand why I love them so much.
I love to watch your face while you listen to the music, it is like you can hear and see each note and tone as it is being played. I also love the explanation of the chords and where they lie on the keyboard.
As you know, I'm a PTX girl, but I have listened to a few Home Free arrangements and I agree with you, they are very solid on their musicality and harmonies. I heard this one during lockdown and thought it was a lot of fun. I sang sea shanties including Wellerman with one of my choirs during lockdown and they are very satisfying to sing because they're generally joyful, fun and easy. As always, I really appreciate your musical knowledge and analysis. Thanks! 😊
I love this one from HF, too. It’s so fun and I love medleys in general. But I think Wellerman is my favorite shanty. Did you happen to see VoicePlay’s cover of Wellerman with Anthony? It’s so good and funny too. There’s a short but also a full version in their video section.
Thank you for the entertaining and informative video. I didn’t know any of those sea shanties but it was fun :)
Thanks Maria! You didn't know either of the first two?
Btw I can't find a comment you left on a video of mine quite recently...it was a long comment so I was waiting til I have a bit more time to properly read it and respond; have been looking for it but can't find it! Do you remember which video it was on?
@@SirHairless You're welcome, Sir! No, I didn’t know any them… my knowledge on sea shanties is a shameful-full zero😅As for that long comment, I ended up deleting it because I noticed you skipped it, so, I thought it could contain some kind of undesirable/unnecessary information or some kind of misunderstanding (sometimes I write weird things without noticing it can mean something completely different from what I was trying to say)... Sorry for creating a mess!
@@Maria...-mo5qm Haha that's you and me both with the little/no sea shanty knowledge
Oh no, I didn't skip it for any reasons like that! I was just in a hurry when I was going through the comments and I wanted to give some time to your comment, so I left it as unmarked (from my perspective, I can filter comments based on if I've responded to them/"loved" them or not, so by not responding it means I can find it at a later date when I look for it 😊) !
Every few days (or whenever I get a free hour here or there) I go through comments I've not reacted to, which is how I try to make sure I've reacted to every comment I'm sorry you thought I was ignoring it due to bad reasons
I noticed your comment contained some recommendations, which is why I wanted to dedicate time to reading your comment - in case it was something I could watch there and then when I went back to it!
In future, if I 'ignore' your comment, it's not out of bad intentions! I will always aim to get back to it at a later time to respond or react - even if it's a number of days Naturally, as I release more videos I receive more comments, so some might get lost in the ether, but I do my best!
@@SirHairless You are such a lovely person, Sir! Thank you very much for taking some of your precious time to explain all those details - it clearly shows a lot of consideration to your audience😊I hope you understand that I only excluded that comment because I didn’t want to unintentionally create any potential weird situation on your channel (I respect your work a lot). Then, I’m going to check if I have a copy of that comment saved on my computer and, if I find it, I’ll include it again in the comment section of that video for you to read when you have time. I thank you again for everything and I wish you a wonderful weekend! 🤗
I saw their video when Covid was here. It's a fun song and catches you .
Chris Martin from Coldplay was the first one I saw, and also Keith Urban who I like and he is a country singer from Australia. He's also great guitar player and good on the banjo, and a lot of others. I was
impressed by them.
,💖R/A🎼
I always enjoy your reactions and breakdown. Thx for sharing your musical knowledge and insights. #HomeFree never disappoints!
#HOMEFREE....amazing!
😂" I don't know these sea shanties, should I be embarrassed?"
No, Sir Hairless, you should not be, unless you live in my home. About 6 months ago I told my son that I thought the sea shanties were so sad and wondered out loud if he thought they were depressing. He just looked at me like I was crazy and kept playing them every evening while he read. They have totally grown on me, I was introduced to Colm McGinnis, then Goeff Castelluci, then Voiceplay, then you and a few others that hear so much more then I can. Its like my world went from black and white to vibrant colors.
I still love my rock-n-roll, but this is a fun adventure too.
Been looking forward to this react, Sir!! Filthy good, as always
🏴☠
I learned Drunken Sailor and Santiana (o) years and years ago. The others I heard for the first time during the COVID shanty vid craze. In many folk songs, changes often occur in lyrics because they are learned aurally. The former president of México was actually Antonio López de Santa Anna. I learned the song as Santiano which I rather prefer lyrically because of its assonance with México, go, gold, and snow.
We have to give credit where credit is due. Thanks to "Ubisoft for Assassin's Creed Black Flag", which inspired these sea shanties to become big again. Because of that we have a variety of groups and singers who jumped on the shanty band wagon. Gotta love it ❤!!!
Love your handling of these analysis. We know these shanty's know.. I only knew the first 2 as well.
The last one was my favorite too.
Another fantastic reaction, thank you!
I love these guys. It's amazing to me as a musician myself to hear 5 people with perfect pitch. Acapella is hard enough as is, let alone, 5 singers who can change keys, and tempo, recording separately cause of Covid.
This video became viral primarily in Asia where it was used in TicToc dance challenges. People in other parts of the world also used the song for dance challenges. It was because of the video's popularity that Ubisoft contacted them to create a sea shanty for Skull and Bones their game in development.
Chance loves sea shanties. He was the one who persuaded Home Free to do the original sea shanty medley during lockdown. So naturally Chance was the one who wrote the sea shanty Skull and Bones for Ubisoft's game.
Personally, I think Home Free's video of a live performance of The Sea Shanty Medley is better than the original lockdown video. The crowd is electrifying with its enthusiasm. Home Free sounds better live.
As wonderful as this version is Home Free's live performance in Mankato, Minnesota is even better. Home Free's live performances are always amazing. Loved the analysis.
Always enjoy your analysis and I would have laughed so much to see your “from home” version of a sea shanty dude? I mean for all I know you might have a secret closet of costumes at the ready? My problem with a Sea Shanty is my same problem with the song “Jolene” by Dolly. You cannot get it out of your head? 5 hours later you will be chopping onions for dinner and be singing a sea shanty while living in land locked Oklahoma where the nearest sea is like 15 hours away or something? 😬 And you know what is about to happen?
Thanks SH! T ✌🏻 😂
One of my favourite pics of me as a kid (around 7 years old) was a pirate costume made "from home" stuffs - was a mighty fine outfit if I do say so myself
I guess you'll need to find your local swimming pool and sing the shanties next to that
I love "derranged Adam" !! Perfect description 😂😂
Here we goooooooooo !!!
🎼💀🎼💀🎼💀🎼💀🎼💀
One of my favorite things in this song is Adam's castanets!
Great reaction, I’m not sure if you caught that at the end when they went to short punchy line it was a line from each of the other sea shanty’s in reverse order end with Santana line, they are so good at bring different songs together to a point you can’t tell. Like there Butts remix or Country pop medley there so good
Sea Shanties are shipboard work songs, and are not specifically pirate related. I'm old, so I wasn't using TikTok, and the only one that I had heard before this medley was Drunken Sailor, heard in a harbor tavern scene in a 1950s black and white episode of Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce).
I, too, love Adam's castanets.
Sea shanty you ask, Sir Hairless? See Adam Chance, he loves and writes them. In fact, you can react to a shanty that Chance wrote for a video game company called UbiSoft. The game is called "Skull And Bones" with the shanty being the same name.
You can make it a two-part reaction because the (live version) is the performance pitched to UbiSoft that they wanted Chance to write, and the (Lyric version) is the version during gameplay.
Thanks! Skull And Bones is on my list 🎵
I like the last one best too😊
Enjoyed your commentary!
Fun fact: the shanty "Leave her, Johnny" was specifically written in the 1830s by a time traveler from the 21st century to try to warn a fellow pirate of impending doom.
This is one from Home Free that I really enjoy even though I’m such a VoicePlayer 😂 Shanties are just so fun and I love their rag tag look with the random costumes lol VoicePlay has full covers of both Wellerman and Drunken Sailor and also a Space Shanty which I didn’t know was a thing. And of course Hoist the Colours which I hope you will see soon. ❤
A space shanty?! I've heard of space cowboys but not space pirates
@@SirHairless The song is from a game that is set in space so people started calling it a space shanty. I thought shanties were related to sea but I did some research and found them described as a “go to work” type of chant. So, I guess it fits but I’m definitely no expert there. I love the song though, it is a total earworm!!
This is their now their final song, in the encore. And it’s a great choice.
The lead is pretty well divided between Chance, Rob and Austin. But Tim and Adam do some interesting things too. (Yes you can hear Adam do the crashing wave sounds in Santiana)
Most of the crowd is standing and singing along. That it’s not complex, makes it easy to join in with them. The increasing tempo builds excitement. And the way they summarize all five songs at the end makes a satisfying conclusion.
In the beginning Chance is wearing a t-shirt with a big Z. That’s for Zissou, a film starring Bill Murray as Steve Zissou, an eccentric oceanographer. Right up to Chance’s alley!
Thanks for the fine reaction! Looking forward to more HF. If you haven’t done Do You Hear What I Hear, you are in for a treat.
Cool! Thanks for the info 👌🏽
Yes I've done that one, you can find it in my Home Free playlist, along with all my other HF reactions😊
I think it went viral because it came out during the pandemic when people were isolated. It was upbeat and energizing. Helped raise peoples spirits. Everyone shared it. I know I shared it with everyone.
🏴☠️. Since I am begging for more Home Free .. I must , again , request that you react to "Go Rest High Upon That Mountain" .. it is originally by Vince Gill (( 🇺🇲 Country Music legend 🇺🇲 )).. Thank you Sir
It's on my list! Along with many other Home Free performances 🎶We're set for a loooong time
“Go Rest High…..” the Church Sessions lets you see just them and who’s singing the different parts.
I want to see Sir react to Vince Gill, too! ❤
Oh I agree, react to the Church Sessions version ❤
Tim was dressed as "Jack Sparrow" , Chance was dressed as "Steve Zissou" from the movie "The Life Acquatic with Steve Zissou", Rob was dressed as "Smee" from "Peter Pan", Austin was dressed as "Sinbad" and I don't remember what Adam's costume was. It was also a specific character, I believe.
And Tim was singing in his front yard, so his neighbors got to see and hear his part!! Imagine looking out and seeing Tim in his outfit!!
Shanty lips. This is a HF I can do although it's a challenge. Your keyboard was helpful as I lose the bottom in my impaired ear once we hit 2's. B2👇 (Top end is 5s☝️ there nothing at all, though sometimes higher causes a feedback in the implanted antenna and I can't get through it This gets a little rough during the last Santiana shanty for that reason).
Didn't hear the waves until you pointed them out.
I really appreciate the work you put into these. I feel so blessed by your analysis that sometimes I forget you're doing them for thousands and thousands. I'll be talking back to you while you're describing a certain section; like you've done the reaction just for me. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Woo happy to hear you can do a non-Pentatonix one Ah the pleasure is mine Happy weekend!
I just wanted to second the recommendation for the Longest Johns, if you want to hear some more well done sea shanties, they're one of Adam Chance's favourite shanty groups, and they inspired this version of Santiana.
Really enjoy your home free reactions. May I suggest that you have a look at their church sessions? They are live recorings with great acoustics. I think you will like that there's no post production (as far as I know) Personally I love "go rest high in that mountain" the most but they are all good.
Note that the last few lines of the last shanty, paid homage to the previous ones!
Also, a related reaction you should do... An acapella group called "The Bass Gang". They did a cover of "Hooked On a Feeling" featuring Tim Faust.

So one of my 2 I wish I had video taped it moments was a few years ago when my son who was maybe 51/2 at the time and obsessed with yodeling and my niece who was maybe 41/2 at the time and was obsessed with opera had decided that Wellerman was their current favorite song. They were running around the house in a circuit pretending to be chickens while belting out the song. In case you are wondering, an operatically yodeled sea shanty sung in chicken squawks is absolutely as funny as it sounds. I was cooking dinner at the time and my hands were messy and I was just grateful they were keeping themselves occupied so I figured I would just tape it the next time they did it (because yes they had done it before just not for as long) and so I didn’t tape it. I loved this but I will never be able to listen to the Wellerman again without a part of my brain adding operatic yodeling chickens. 😂
Sounds amazing!
