Chris did so much for Home Free that didn't get the recognition he deserved. There is a video of Chris at his last concert with HF and Tim giving very emotional kudos to Chris.
Thank you, Jillian, for crying for me too. I always feel cold watching a video like this because I have very few tears. I knew that Chris had left Home Free about the same time, so I felt that emotion of him leaving too. But Chris went on to do good things, which sometimes is “the road less traveled”. Great reaction on a wonderful song. I thought this would be it for 2023, but now I have one more song to anticipate. I’m pretty sure that I know what it is, and I love it! See you on Sunday!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Emotions are not to be repressed. You guys are real. That’s a lot of your appeal. Keep up the great content. Virtual hugs from me. Thanks
Ninja - never feel embarrassed by the tears. She was an important part of your life and you miss her! Totally understandable. Home Free has a song called Warmest Winter. Austin wrote it about his grandmother who passed away and the memories of her at Christmas. It is a beautiful song but it makes me cry every time, reminding me of my mom and memories of Christmas with her. She has been gone 5 years now and I still miss her. She loved Christmas and she would have adored Home Free (especially Tim's bass) Every day the hurt will get a little less but it never truly goes away. I just fill the hurt spots in my heart with the memories that make me smile. ❤
This song gets me every time. And listening to it now, after my grandpa passed away...phew! You weren't the only one crying, Jillian🫂 And please, never feel embarrassed by showing your emotions, that's what makes us human - the laughter and the tears.💕 Two things I absolutely love about this video: Adam and Chris singing together is beautiful; and the very end where Chris stops singing and leaves the four boys who continue singing when he walks into the sunset, that's powerful.
Yes, this is a song that is sung at funerals. I lost my husband of 40 years in 2014. This was my 9th Christmas season without him. This coming January 26th would have been our 50th wedding anniversary. We were both looking forward to reaching that milestone. Almost everything, this song included, brings me to tears because everything reminds me of him. I'm sorry to hear that your Mom passed away recently Jillian. My thoughts and prayers are with you. P.S. You are not an ugly crier and you never need to apologize for showing your emotions. We are here for you.
First time I watched, I sobbed, and then went to Amazon to purchase mp3. Watching this reaction, I had tears streaming. 😭💜 My glasses are fogged & full of fingerprints and my nose is running. Now that’s an ugly sight!
This is so very beautiful! I have it in my will to have this song sung at m y funeral. Hopefully it won't be anytime soon. Jillian I was crying too. Love your reactions!
I really enjoyed this song, haven’t heard it very many times so this was a treat. I love it when they leave off the drums and just sing! Low bass Kenneth
I provided Hospice care for my little sister who died on March 12, 2023. I'm a retired RN with more than 45yrs of experience. I'm so grateful that I was able to care for her. I know she's in a better place. I keep her in my heart and prayers everyday. I wish you peace and love for you. ❤❤
It’s ok Jillian to cry. I got tears too. Such a beautiful song Chris wrote for his friend but it was also appropriate and sad for his leaving HF. I saw a video in a concert where Tim wanted to read his thanks to Chris when Chris was leaving HF and Tim broke down. I could see using this song at my funeral too. It’s just so touching and sweet so cry away Ninja. I’m sorry for your loss. Your mom is in a better place! Take care! 😪😍
Jillian, you weren't crying alone! This one makes me ugly cry all the time. Hugs to you... I'm so sorry for your loss! The picture at the end just made me start crying all over again! I lost my MIL last year (I took care of her on home hospice at the end) and came close to losing my mom earlier this year (almost 2 months in ICU). It's tough. That's all I can say! Again, hugs! ~Leandra ❤
The genuine friendship among these 5 men is strong, and that's one thing that turns listeners to fans. I get teary every time I hear this beautiful "celebration of separation". It must have been hard on all them for Chris to leave the group, but it's wonderful whenever we see any two or more of them together again. Good for you if you follow Chris's career -- he is a gifted musician and performer and we love hearing whatever he has to offer! Here's wishing you an even brighter New Year!
In my opinion, when a song can move you so much that it comes out in tears, that's a beautiful thing, & if I'm a musician I'd take that as a compliment. This is definitely one of the many heartfelt Home Free songs that brings out that kind of reaction in me every time. ❤️
Yes it is a sad song but it's such a beautiful tribute❤ Ninja, I am so sorry for your loss, it hurts deep. No such thing as ugly crying when it comes from such hurt. I lost my mom this year and that's why I cried. It just sucks😢
Chris wrote this for a friend who was struggling to deal with the loss of someone very close to him/her (the friend). Chris wrote it from the perspective of the person who had passed away as encouragement for those left behind to live fully (“My only wish is you live your life full. Don’t mourn for me, go and celebrate it all. “) And also reassurance (“I have no regrets. It was worth it in the end.”). Though sad, it actually is an uplifting song, especially if you listen to the words with this perspective.
Don't feel embarrassed for real feelings. I think you're awesome Jillian and you too Jeremy. You two are fast becoming my favorite reactors, because you keep it real. The first time I heard it I cried. Chris is a talented guy. He wrote an amazing song!
I am sorry for your loss. It has been 23 years for me since I lost my mother, I take comfort in knowing that she no longer suffers and that she was ready to leave us.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction. This was my introduction to Chris and Adam singing 2 years ago, I heard Movin On and Tim speech I cried myself to sleep. Instant home fry! 😭 I bought the lyrics to Movin On. I will hang them up my bedroom. 😭 I have a Rupp siiblings playlist. This song is so special. 🥹😭
I didn’t know the history of the song the first time I watched it. I thought he had written it to say goodbye to the guys and I cried too. Thanks, Jeremy and Jillian!
I don't think there is a ybody else that can spark our feels like Home Free!! I'm so glad all of us found HF!! What would we do without them!! Thank u Jeremy and Jillian!! We love u too!! I cried when the bros sang together
Jillian, I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my mother Jan, 12th 2018 and I miss her everyday and frequently ugly cry, especially this time of year! The year of ‘firsts’ really suck! Sending ❤ and cyber hugs to you!
If you don't feel something when you hear this song, I'd wonder about your ability to feel at all. It is a gorgeous sound, the words, the arrangement, the harmonies, all of it. At times it sounds almost joyous while still wringing tears from you (not the specific 'you', the general 'you'). Chris is supremely talented and the guys vocals just put it over the top.
That was beautiful, I've never heard that before either, I was crying along with you. So moving like the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Loved it
Deepest condolences for your loss. This is such a beautiful song, beautifully sung. Although it's ambiguous enough to be relevant in a variety of situations, it always makes me think of those I've lost. Chris also has a beautiful duet with Tim Foust of "Long Black Train". Thanks for playing this one.
That was really Beautiful boys. It was so nice to see Adam singing from. his heart.I really miss Chris.Tears just pouring down my cheeks. We all miss you Chris #homefree # ChrisRuppmusic
It's ok Jillian for showing your emotions. I am sure many of us cry every time we listen to this song. It is a very emotional song and nobody thinks any less of you for you sharing these emotions with us all. I cry over this song, and many other songs. Music is great when it makes us feel. We love you even more for trusting us with your vulnerablity. I can't even spell that right. Lol. Thanks for being real, both of you. Hugs!!!!
Oh man Jillian that was embarrassing! Just kidding! You are NOT an ugly crier. Great reaction. Please never stop showing how a video truly makes you feel.❤
Oh Jillian, I was crying too, and watching you made me cry harder.... Love you! And love this song. Like I said to Jeremy the other day, never feel bad about the tears that music brings. And Home Free can really bring all the feels, happy and sad! ❤🎶
I'm right there with you. This was one of the songs I picked for my husband's funeral. Beautiful. I will probably tear up every time I hear it, but I also smile. Because he is in heaven waiting for our kids, grandkids and me to make more memories. So I smile. Keep remembering and keep making more memories. 🥰
Never apologize for being emotional. We all have songs that bring memories,. We all shed tears of sadness & joy. As always you both did a great reaction Friday.
My sympathies for your loss, Jillian. Tears are healing, and no apologies are needed. As far as having a not peppy song on Home FrYday, I look at it as: it's Home Free, and it's all good! HF'S singing is relatable, and that means hearing the highs & the lows of life. They'd be a bunch of shallow people if they didn't.
It's just an absolutely beautiful song. First time hearing this. I have seen so many home free videos. Yet I have never seen this one. Thank you for your reaction. Keep it up with the home Fridays
Great heartfelt reaction to a beautiful song. First time for me hearing it too and it made me cry also because I have lost so very many family members from multiple generations. You might say I'm the last man standing.
Thoughts & Prayers! Parents passing are tough ... it's the memories and so great to have 'em!!! Reason for "make memories" in my certain posts. ----- Chris "leaving" was sad but he also needed to pursue his other interests ... and choosing a capable replacement anticipating the move - boy, he/they did that!!! Sad but happy for him and his success. Be Safe
Jillian, you never have to worry about tears. Music is the universal language! It's why we feel a particular way, even if it's in a foreign language! I see that several people have mentioned watching the live version where Tim gives a farewell speech! It's so worth it. But have an entire box of tissues when you watch it! I love you and Jeremy's reactions because they're genuine, and you keep it real. There are plenty of fake reactors that just toss out words that they think the followers want to hear. Keep being yourselves! ❤
Ninja, nobody looks glamorous when they cry. You are not an "ugly" crier! I'm very sorry to hear your mom passed away this year. Sending you a hug. BTW I cry like an infant every time I hear a touching song. You're not alone. Everybody should cry more, it's not embarrassing. We love you.
Good Music makes you feel. There is nothing ugly about tears that are shed for someone you miss. It just says volumes about how much you appreciated that person's presence in your life. The deeper the love the more the blessing that person was to you. You could not be ugly especially when you are coming from a center of love. It make us all feel connected to share common emotions. And yes, I ugly cried just like you did so you were not crying alone. No one can honestly appreciate the glory of a mountain top if they have never experienced the valley below. Can't wait for this coming new year and all of the wonderful music that is in store!
Ninja, girl you definitely aren't an ugly crier. I lost my mom almost 20 years ago at the age of 27. Never miss a chance to let yourself feel what it needs to feel. Tears are beautiful. You are both awesome people and you're so cute with each other. Much love and best wishes for a wonderful new year.
Thank you so much for that, @thebachbabe!! You are so sweet and I (Jillian) appreciate the sweet words. Like you, I lost one of my Moms (I had two 🏳️🌈) this past March and can't master control of my emotions quite yet. Big hugs for your loss as well. This is rough. ❤️🥷
I'm glad you kept it. As you said, that's the thing about music, it causes emotion, and makes you feel things, that's what good music does, it makes different people feel different things. I've listened to this song so many times now (probably Chris' solo version more), and in addition to the sadness after re-listening to it, and listening to Chris' version with piano, which really lets him be expressive, there are parts that are uplifting as well. I don't know if I can eloquently put it in a comment, but definitely check out Chris' solo version, and I'm glad you kept the original raw reaction, that's what music is all about. Ninja shouldn't be embarrassed at all, although I completely understand.
Hey guys that song was BEAUTIFUL and I cried too. I lost my husband this past June. Home Free music and just music in general helps me to cope with my grief!! You guys are AWESOME and please keep up with the good music reaction videos!! Happy New Year everyone!! 🎉
We love you, Ninja. I lost my mom several years ago and my dad over 30 years ago, but this still brought tears to my eyes. Trust me when I tell you that you and I weren't the only one tearing up i' m sure. By the way I've never seen anyone cry pretty lol. Love ya both Julia
Beautiful, hadn’t seen this one actually!❤❤ Thank you so much for reacting to it! You should definitely react to the clip of Tim doing a speech dedicated to Chris! Tissues are defined needed! Love you guys !!!❤❤❤❤
This is so beautiful and heartwarming. Chris goodbye song.😢 Isn't it great that when they sing: "Being called home to a place I know!".. Adam comes into the picture? Also his solo of this song accompanied by his piano playing is so amazing. Chris is so talented For example, the collaboration with his sister Tristin Rupp is also worth listening to. Some suggestion: Chris Rupp and Tim Foust- "Long Black Train", Chris Rupp -"Amazing Grace"
This is a song that you could be sad or happy. Chris was so sad and yet exciting for his solo career. Jillian don't feel bad about it ever song hits people different. I'm an ugly crier too. Love your honest reactions to this song.
I loved your reaction Jillian you were wearing your emotions on your sleeve I respect that very much. Jeremy you have a lovely wife. I started crying when she did. So blessed are y’all to have each other. Happy New Year to you 🎊 🍾🍾 ❤
Thank you so much, Darla. So embarrassing ...thanks for not making me feel bad. Definitely not one to cry like this, but thanks to comments like these, I'm embracing it! ❤️🥷
Chris and Adam harmonizing in this always chokes me up. Knowing they started it all together and knowing this is the last time they are together as part of the group….😭😭😭😭
Such a heartfelt reaction Jillian - never apologize for your tears, they show how much you love. Thx to you both for all your hard work on your channel this year. A beautiful song! Happy New Year to y’all.
Jillian, there is no need to ever feel bad about honest emotions. Tears are part of what we're given to help wash away some of the sadness. Sometimes a 'good' cry is what we need. Grief is not predictable and often comes at us sideways.... every now and then. You have every reason and right to your tears. Goes for you too, Jeremy.
If you’re going to do Sunday the one I think you’re going to do, please try not to talk through it, the harmonies are too stunning to miss! (You know I love you and the talking does not bother me, I love your reactions, I just think for this one you might miss too much ❤) See you Sunday, I’m really looking forward to this one!
Hey there! Jillian here. I just checked (braced)...and boo...we do talk a teeny, tiny bit (mostly in between words). BUT, I make Jer rewind for the end harmonies because we talked over it. Hope that makes up for it. ❤️🥷🏻
@musikbyjh I did not mean to imply you talk too much! I love what you both have to say. He is like Mr. Technical, who explains audio engineering. You are Mrs. Reality! You keep it real with the feels, appreciating the harmonies and interpreting what he says sometimes. Love what you both say.
@@musikbyjh Me either, I love you and Jeremy which is why I subscribed and keep coming back! We know what’s coming because we’ve most likely heard the song before and you don’t because you’re hearing it for the first time. Please just keep being you, we love you as you are! Backing it up and replaying a certain part works just fine! ❤️❤️
I don't recall if you reacted to this, but there is also a solo version of this on Chris' channel with him playing piano that is absolutely spectacular. Definitely worth watching if you haven't (he teases it at the end of the video).
Your reaction is your reaction be it tears or laughter. I'm here to see your reaction not your acting, if there are tears that are genuinely felt then that is what I'm here for.
You should check out Chris and Tim’s colab Long Black Train. It’s well done, and Foust doesn’t disappoint. 🎶🥰. I’m glad you left it real. I still cry every time I hear this song. It’s a good cry though. 💕😘
You looked exactly like all the Home Fries did when we found out Chris was leaving. 😥 In the early days, we fans had been through a lot with the guys as they were extremely active with us on every good or bad thing that happened with them. They kept us up-to-date, daily, on almost everything that was happening, even in their personal lives. It was like a huge family. They were truly interactive. The fan base was "a lot smaller" back then and they were just getting started to really take off. Up to the Sing Off, even though they had been touring a lot for several years, they were still at a point where they had to gain fans with each show because nobody really knew them yet. So when they started to gain more and more fans, they were so excited and, in turn, we were just as excited as they were. They were shocked the first time they walked on a stage to find fans there who already knew who they were and excited to see them. LOL! So when they announced Chris was leaving, it hit hard. By then, we all felt we were losing a brother; one of our own. We also knew Chris was a founder and the glue for the group. So we were heartbroken. But Chance came in and we all loved him, plus, we still had Chris' solo career to follow. So I look at this song as a hopeful and sweet goodbye, but also towards new beginnings. (However, it still makes me cry every time i hear it!)
Okay well I stood in my kitchen cutting my fruit up for breakfast and lunch, crying my eyes out so I'd of been pee'd off that you didn't join me, "I am joking of course being embarrassed is not fun", but I think music is emotion and it sings to us. So just know you weren't alone in the balling and runny nose. I'm sending you a hug. Xxx
Please do yourselves a favor and watch Tim's tribute to Chris live. You can tell how close all of the guys really are. I actually cried the first time I watched this one.
Auld Lang Syne. I've always pronounced it like "awe" with thr l d at the end. and tthe "s" like a z. Don't know if it's "correct". For a real tear jerker for "Movin' On", check out when they did it for real. Live. Tim tried to read a speech.
Ninja, I cried too but was driving so don’t apologize I probably looked like a fool to the people around me! But I don’t care, it was genuine ! Keep rockin!!
If you want the real story behind Movin' On, watch Chris' interview with DJ410 (ua-cam.com/video/RGJhG6M9e_s/v-deo.htmlsi=DZClQTltiBfkSn7S). They talk about the song at around the 19:30 mark. It was NOT written because someone Chris knew died. Maybe we can finally get that story quashed. It is a beautiful song and the guys all did a great job on it. And it is a tear maker.
You should watch the last concert with Chris when Tim does a speech dedicated to Chris, tissues are needed, its emotional ❤
I was just about to comment that! Great Fry minds think alike 😂❤❤
I'm sending that request now. Westboro Baptist church video, Tim's touching tribute to Chris and The kiss lol
@@minneyruth you're awesome, Ruth! 🤗😘
@@momD612 🥰🤗

@@sallycripe2697 I'm sorry for your loss Sally. It's a "club" that none of us want to be in. Be well, be happy and be blessed in 2024.
Ninja, one of the best parts of music is its ability to move and heal us... Those were healing tears

Thanks for keeping it real and not re-recording this.

Never apologize for being emotional. We all have songs that bring memories,. We all shed tears of sadness & joy. As always you both did a great reaction Friday.
It's all good! Tears are not bad!! Hugs!!! ❤❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss. I sang this the day my grandma died. 3 weeks later Chris sang this in a concert. I was an ugly sobbing mess. 😭😭😭
My sympathies for your loss, Jillian. Tears are healing, and no apologies are needed.

I cried right with you and it shows that you are true to yourself tears are good
Beautiful. Ms Jillian ty for your honest emotions. Love you both ❤❤
Great heartfelt reaction to a beautiful song. First time for me hearing it too and it made me cry also because I have lost so very many family members from multiple generations. You might say I'm the last man standing.
Thoughts & Prayers! Parents passing are tough ... it's the memories and so great to have 'em!!! Reason for "make memories" in my certain posts. ----- Chris "leaving" was sad but he also needed to pursue his other interests ... and choosing a capable replacement anticipating the move - boy, he/they did that!!! Sad but happy for him and his success. Be Safe
Jillian, you never have to worry about tears. Music is the universal language! It's why we feel a particular way, even if it's in a foreign language! I see that several people have mentioned watching the live version where Tim gives a farewell speech! It's so worth it. But have an entire box of tissues when you watch it! I love you and Jeremy's reactions because they're genuine, and you keep it real. There are plenty of fake reactors that just toss out words that they think the followers want to hear. Keep being yourselves! ❤
Ninja, nobody looks glamorous when they cry. You are not an "ugly" crier! I'm very sorry to hear your mom passed away this year. Sending you a hug. BTW I cry like an infant every time I hear a touching song. You're not alone. Everybody should cry more, it's not embarrassing. We love you.
Good Music makes you feel. There is nothing ugly about tears that are shed for someone you miss. It just says volumes about how much you appreciated that person's presence in your life. The deeper the love the more the blessing that person was to you. You could not be ugly especially when you are coming from a center of love. It make us all feel connected to share common emotions. And yes, I ugly cried just like you did so you were not crying alone. No one can honestly appreciate the glory of a mountain top if they have never experienced the valley below. Can't wait for this coming new year and all of the wonderful music that is in store!
Ninja, girl you definitely aren't an ugly crier. I lost my mom almost 20 years ago at the age of 27. Never miss a chance to let yourself feel what it needs to feel. Tears are beautiful. You are both awesome people and you're so cute with each other. Much love and best wishes for a wonderful new year.
Thank you so much for that, @thebachbabe!! You are so sweet and I (Jillian) appreciate the sweet words. Like you, I lost one of my Moms (I had two 🏳️🌈) this past March and can't master control of my emotions quite yet. Big hugs for your loss as well. This is rough. ❤️🥷
I'm glad you kept it. As you said, that's the thing about music, it causes emotion, and makes you feel things, that's what good music does, it makes different people feel different things. I've listened to this song so many times now (probably Chris' solo version more), and in addition to the sadness after re-listening to it, and listening to Chris' version with piano, which really lets him be expressive, there are parts that are uplifting as well. I don't know if I can eloquently put it in a comment, but definitely check out Chris' solo version, and I'm glad you kept the original raw reaction, that's what music is all about. Ninja shouldn't be embarrassed at all, although I completely understand.
Hey guys that song was BEAUTIFUL and I cried too. I lost my husband this past June. Home Free music and just music in general helps me to cope with my grief!! You guys are AWESOME and please keep up with the good music reaction videos!! Happy New Year everyone!! 🎉
We love you, Ninja. I lost my mom several years ago and my dad over 30 years ago, but this still brought tears to my eyes. Trust me when I tell you that you and I weren't the only one tearing up i' m sure. By the way I've never seen anyone cry pretty lol. Love ya both Julia
Beautiful, hadn’t seen this one actually!❤❤ Thank you so much for reacting to it! You should definitely react to the clip of Tim doing a speech dedicated to Chris! Tissues are defined needed!
Love you guys !!!❤❤❤❤
A very touching song felt deeply! God gave us tears for happy and sad moments. Thank you for sharing your humanity, Ninja. ❤️🤗
This is so beautiful and heartwarming. Chris goodbye song.😢
Isn't it great that when they sing: "Being called home to a place I know!".. Adam comes into the picture?
Also his solo of this song accompanied by his piano playing is so amazing.
Chris is so talented
For example, the collaboration with his sister Tristin Rupp is also worth listening to.
Some suggestion:
Chris Rupp and Tim Foust- "Long Black Train",
Chris Rupp -"Amazing Grace"
You guys are awesome. I'm glad you have ninja on the channel. You guys rock!
Thank you for being honest
This is a song that you could be sad or happy. Chris was so sad and yet exciting for his solo career. Jillian don't feel bad about it ever song hits people different. I'm an ugly crier too. Love your honest reactions to this song.
I loved your reaction Jillian you were wearing your emotions on your sleeve I respect that very much. Jeremy you have a lovely wife. I started crying when she did. So blessed are y’all to have each other. Happy New Year to you 🎊 🍾🍾 ❤
Thank you so much, Darla. So embarrassing ...thanks for not making me feel bad. Definitely not one to cry like this, but thanks to comments like these, I'm
embracing it! ❤️🥷
Chris and Adam harmonizing in this always chokes me up. Knowing they started it all together and knowing this is the last time they are together as part of the group….😭😭😭😭
Yep, I think that started the breakdown 😫❤️🥷
Such a heartfelt reaction Jillian - never apologize for your tears, they show how much you love. Thx to you both for all your hard work on your channel this year. A beautiful song! Happy New Year to y’all.
😢😢Ok, after this I'm sending my request. It fits in with this.
Jillian, there is no need to ever feel bad about honest emotions. Tears are part of what we're given to help wash away some of the sadness. Sometimes a 'good' cry is what we need. Grief is not predictable and often comes at us sideways.... every now and then. You have every reason and right to your tears. Goes for you too, Jeremy.
Dang it! Now my eyeballs are sweating.😢
If you’re going to do Sunday the one I think you’re going to do, please try not to talk through it, the harmonies are too stunning to miss! (You know I love you and the talking does not bother me, I love your reactions, I just think for this one you might miss too much ❤) See you Sunday, I’m really looking forward to this one!
🤞🏽❤️🥷🏻
If she is correct on the one you picked, I kind of have to agree. But once they start singing, you will probably be too stunned to talk😂
Hey there! Jillian here. I just checked (braced)...and boo...we do talk a teeny, tiny bit (mostly in between words). BUT, I make Jer rewind for the end harmonies because we talked over it. Hope that makes up for it. ❤️🥷🏻
@musikbyjh I did not mean to imply you talk too much!
I love what you both have to say. He is like Mr. Technical, who explains audio engineering. You are Mrs. Reality!
You keep it real with the feels, appreciating the harmonies and interpreting what he says sometimes.
Love what you both say.
@@musikbyjh Me either, I love you and Jeremy which is why I subscribed and keep coming back! We know what’s coming because we’ve most likely heard the song before and you don’t because you’re hearing it for the first time. Please just keep being you, we love you as you are! Backing it up and replaying a certain part works just fine! ❤️❤️
You can't do Hillbilly Bone every week 😂😂😂
I don't recall if you reacted to this, but there is also a solo version of this on Chris' channel with him playing piano that is absolutely spectacular. Definitely worth watching if you haven't (he teases it at the end of the video).
Your reaction is your reaction be it tears or laughter. I'm here to see your reaction not your acting, if there are tears that are genuinely felt then that is what I'm here for.
You should check out Chris and Tim’s colab Long Black Train. It’s well done, and Foust doesn’t disappoint. 🎶🥰. I’m glad you left it real. I still cry every time I hear this song. It’s a good cry though. 💕😘
You looked exactly like all the Home Fries did when we found out Chris was leaving. 😥 In the early days, we fans had been through a lot with the guys as they were extremely active with us on every good or bad thing that happened with them. They kept us up-to-date, daily, on almost everything that was happening, even in their personal lives. It was like a huge family. They were truly interactive. The fan base was "a lot smaller" back then and they were just getting started to really take off. Up to the Sing Off, even though they had been touring a lot for several years, they were still at a point where they had to gain fans with each show because nobody really knew them yet. So when they started to gain more and more fans, they were so excited and, in turn, we were just as excited as they were. They were shocked the first time they walked on a stage to find fans there who already knew who they were and excited to see them. LOL! So when they announced Chris was leaving, it hit hard. By then, we all felt we were losing a brother; one of our own. We also knew Chris was a founder and the glue for the group. So we were heartbroken. But Chance came in and we all loved him, plus, we still had Chris' solo career to follow. So I look at this song as a hopeful and sweet goodbye, but also towards new beginnings. (However, it still makes me cry every time i hear it!)
Okay well I stood in my kitchen cutting my fruit up for breakfast and lunch, crying my eyes out so I'd of been pee'd off that you didn't join me, "I am joking of course being embarrassed is not fun", but I think music is emotion and it sings to us. So just know you weren't alone in the balling and runny nose. I'm sending you a hug. Xxx
Someone said that if you look Chance is in the back round.
Please do yourselves a favor and watch Tim's tribute to Chris live. You can tell how close all of the guys really are. I actually cried the first time I watched this one.
Coming soon, my friend!
Auld Lang Syne. I've always pronounced it like "awe" with thr l d at the end. and tthe "s" like a z. Don't know if it's "correct".
For a real tear jerker for "Movin' On", check out when they did it for real. Live. Tim tried to read a speech.
Ninja, I cried too but was driving so don’t apologize I probably looked like a fool to the people around me! But I don’t care, it was genuine ! Keep rockin!!
Hugz Ninja!❤
Gee...a Home Free song on New Year's Eve, what could that be?
Hard, right?!? Thanks for watching, Lou!
If you want the real story behind Movin' On, watch Chris' interview with DJ410 (ua-cam.com/video/RGJhG6M9e_s/v-deo.htmlsi=DZClQTltiBfkSn7S). They talk about the song at around the 19:30 mark. It was NOT written because someone Chris knew died. Maybe we can finally get that story quashed. It is a beautiful song and the guys all did a great job on it. And it is a tear maker.
Well, I looked and didn't see anyone in the back round. Jillian I cried too tears down the cheek runny nose even a sob, so don't feel to bad.
I like Chance, but I hate that they had to lose Chris to get him. This is a beautiful song, but sad........without Chris there would be no Home Free.
😢🍟
Lovely reaction to a moving song. Be glad you didn't watch the live version, it is a ugly cry inducer.
Check out NF he is a Christian rapper.... You won't be disappointed... Enjoy
I've done two NF songs and need to get back to more. Thanks for the reminder!!
@@musikbyjh his new album HOPE
I was glad to have someone emote with me. Tears are great offerings to those we love 🥲🥰
