If Michael Bolton doesn't like it there are people all over the world that are loving it...he's one person you've been approved and appreciated by thousands according to the comments....great job and I'm lovin it...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ladies when a man loves you like this song suggests, know that you are loved. My husband of 31 years loved me like this. He went to his reward 14 months ago and I as I set here longing for the good old days, I know his love will never be far. Treasure this gift if you're lucky enough to have it. Another great day to be a Home Free fan. Happy Valentine's Day!
WE remember when the record came out, we rushed to buy it. Wore that record out. Yes I had a man just like this..I lost him 2005. Married in 1967. LOVE you
sory for your lost ,,, i had the love of my life finally, after bad 1st marriage, only wish would have wanted a 50 yrs with mike - he came here just after 1989 hurricane Hugo struck. I tell everyone -- Hurricane Blew mike in - into my life when he was needed the most..
My husband of 50 yrs went home Christmas Day of 23. Hardest year I’ve ever had!! Always knew I was loved. 3 children and 8 grandchildren who miss him like crazy,
i am 67 years old and grew up with the world of Elvis . i thought he was the great singer in the world until i heard Austin . The voice of gold.. love you guys
I am 70 years old, have been a musician since l was a teenager, so l hear music a little differently, and l haven’t heard a more talented group in decades!
Some talents tight scout measure really finds you because you are fantastic honey I was saying when I was younger and I never pursued it you'll regret it if you don't keep saying it keep saying it
This is what I like best about Home Free. Five of the world's best vocalists who are happy to spend an entire song as backup singers to let one of them shine as a soloist. This happened to be Austin's turn to solo, but I am sure he would - and has - done the same. And what a solo! What a performance by the entire group!
Yes ! I've been waiting for Austin's turn - I don't think he's had a solo since "meet in the middle" - with HF anyway - although I love Unchained Melody too. Best group ever.
Well said! What makes this group so amazing to me is that individually, they all have WORLD CLASS talents....all of them. Tim and Chance have voices of gold...and INSANE ranges. Rob has a velvet voice and whenever he’s had a lead has always blown me away. Austin...yeah, just wow. Remember, even Shawn Stockman during the Sing Off was blown away by his voice! Adam, not only is a top-notch, world class beat boxer, but has an amazing ear for harmonies whenever he’s called to sing. Each of them could more than hold their own if they were to be individual artists working on solo careers. But, collectively? I’m not sure there ever has been a group better than them...nor do I personally believe there ever will be! #1 in my books! What a collection of talent!
Wow! I never thought I'd put Percy Sledge, Michael Bolton and Home Free in the same compliment, but here I am. These guys did justice to both Sledge and Bolton, and I didn't think Bolton's could ever be topped.
I was a young married woman when Percy Sledge came out with this song. I loved it. But this song sung by Home Free is so beautiful it hurts my heart! I wish my husband was still alive to hear it.
So beautiful Austin it hurts my heart too. My man passed 4 years ago after 59 years of marriage. You make that touch so real again. Thanks. My husband found Home Free singing Oh Holy Night in the Cathedral
As we say here in the south...”Lawd, have mercy!!” I know Percy just looked over the portals of heaven and said “y’all hush just a second and listen to my boy SANG!!!” BRAVO🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
They are the best acapella music group performing today: talented, best beat boxer, write a lot of their own music, play multiple instruments, funny and can hold and audience, best of all they aren't gimmicky. And can we add handsome with broad appeal?.
When Percy Sledge sang it, he was singing the song of a man with a broken heart... when Home Free sings it, he's singing the song of a man deeply in love with someone who loves him right back... that's how they're different... you want to listen to Percy after the break-up; you want to listen to Home Free at the wedding reception...
I am a 67 year old grandmother raising my 15 year old autistic grandson when things get to much for me and I feel very overwhelmed I always tune in and watch your videos no matter what song u guys sing or which one of u are singing even as the whole group u just lift my spirits up and I feel I can do anything don't ever stop singing . My grandson is deaf and he loves it when I sign your songs for him in sign language. U guys are great thank u so much for making me and my grandson happy in our rough times.
I Am Not Stop sign language No grandmother What I'm Home Free Arrested in This But No deaf 15 years Teenager I Have Been In U guy No making happy our way of doing it all your Ball String is a for good Use talking About how many people are in this but we Have a lot more. Thank You
When Austin sings this song, he makes you wish you could have been loved like that. It is not only his voice that is magic, the sweet look he sends to his fans is enough to make you want to play the video over and over and over again. Thank you, Austin, for sharing your God- given talent with us.
@@shirleypijpers8944 I know the feeling. I lost my love on September 20, 2017 due to pancreatic cancer. Although we never married, we were in a 15-year committed relationship. He was (63) when he passed.
I am so blessed to have had that love now for 55 years after having been thrown on the garbage heap by another and my life nearly ruined. Praise God and Bless you. Austin.
I respect both Percy Sledge and Michael Bolton, as they both are/were talented musicians, BUT Mr. Austin Brown just knocked it out of the ball park!!! Fabulous performance!!! Way to go!!! ❤️
You just have to love Austin's playful glances to the camera. He is SUCH a ham!!! And what was that from Adam about halfway through???? Crazy and fabulous, just fabulous!
Damn, that's how you cover a song! Austin slayed this! His vocals are so strong, soulful and crystal clear! The whole group nailed it! This is the version I look for when I want to hear this song!
Five men in love who understand the power of a song, and put their talents together to prove it. Austin, your powerful lead was phenomenal. I think you were made to sing this song at this moment. Absolutely amazing. Great job to all!
Absolutely amazing version of this great love song!! I’m a 70 year old man that’s loved the same woman for 47 years and this song reflects my feelings for her so incredibly right on!!!
Absolutely beautiful. I love reading abt successful marriages. You and your Wife are to be applauded. I know marriage has its ups and downs, so what other nuggets of love can you share to have an everlasting love affair? I know communication is key.
Got you beat. lol. “Our” song and still is after 50 years of marriage. I guess that means you’re younger. You have me beat there. God Bless you and your lucky wife!
Austin, as someone who has listened to the best over my 77 years, I can honestly say you are right at the top of the list with the best of them. I salute your magnificient voice.
This is my beloved and my song. Loved each other for the last 53 years, married for 50. Played this for her just now, we danced, smiled, and cried. Thank you.
Austin’s voice is extraordinary the home free a cappella is the best ever but Austins glazes into the camera with his eyes is hypnotic it’s a glance into his soul which is pure These songs that showcase Austin’s range and the brilliance of Home Free and the camera work our epic
Holy crap guys. This song just oozes GRAMMY from start to finish. It showcases all your best group talents, and Austin explores a whole new universe at the same time.
Oh. My. Goodness. Gents, when that opening note Austin cracks gives me the shivers, I just hit the like button and settle in. It's -32F here. And the shivers were NOT from the cold. Austin, that voice. Damn. I have kids older than you son, but shivery anyway. Y'all killed it.
Home Free is the absolute best thing that I accidentally stumbled upon on TH-cam. You guys are all the absolutely the greatest! Love, love, love your music and vocals!
This is what I love about Home Free. They know the perfect member who'll shine in a specific song. Most importantly, they're perfect. They're human instruments.
I remember the first time I ever heard Austin sing and thought wow he’s so good and sings so high, but Austin you’re even better now and your voice is amazing! Love all of Home Free, but this time Austin knocked it out of the park!
With a little help from his friends. To use a food analogy. For sure the dish has to be cooked to perfection, but the chef will tell you presentation is key as we eat with our eyes as well. Austin the well cooked meal and the harmonies and beat the presentation and garnish that brings it all together. Guess you can tell i've been listening to this for MANY hours
Not only is Home Free the best group around but they never fail at making their renditions of songs their own. Austin’s voice made this the best version I have ever heard and the backup was amazing as always.
You are awesome. I’m an 83 year old widow lady and when I listen to your song it makes me feel young again. I had a husband I loved very much and after 56 years of wonderful marriage I lost him. Thanks again.
I'm glad to hear that this song makes you feel young again. I wish you all the best this new year! And even though your husband isn't there with you, he's resting peacefully in Heaven, so don't worry. Stay strong, and lots of health and joy in 2023! ❤
I lost my husband of 51 years and the older songs make me remember how much in love we were ,he was 74 and agent orange took him away from me 😢 we were like peas and carrots so much in love I never dreamed I would be a widow at 72❤
I cannot put into words how much your comment touched my soul. Your words just lifted my pain and replaced it with the memories of the man I lost. Has me crying and smiling at the same time. Thank you.
@@kimhagerman9128 there's no way I could do that. Elvis had Colonel Tom Parker and he kept telling Elvis "bad people out there". So, he protected Elvis and reaped the benefits of it. Prayers to God Almighty, in the name of Jesus can cut them down like the snakes they are!😇😊☝
My jaw unhinged this was so good. Must admit this song was never a favourite, but THIS song?! Wow. Those last high notes from Austin rising 'out of' the harmony! Repeat. Adam, Chance, Rob and Tim providing the perfect frame for this performance. Home Free well done. I would listen to this for another ten years and not get bored. Man you guys are good
This is absolutely next level - Austin was born to sing this song, such passion and those extra high notes just wow, a lead vocal performance can't get any better than that
I loved Percy Sledges version, and I love Austin's version. They're both so unique you can't compare them. I'm sure Michael Bolton's version is good, too.
Awsome Job Guys. BRAVO. I'm 71 now.cant believe it.haha.i heard this the day it came out with Ole Percy. God Bless You All Stay FOCUSED on Jesus my Friends.👍
I've always loved this song from the times I heard Percy Sledge sing it, I loved Michael Bolton's take on it, but I gotta tell you that there's a new sheriff in town now! Austin? Son, you done blowed everybody outta the water in this one! I'll bet the Jewel was absolutely loving it when you started singing and by the time you got near the end and began to crank out those high notes, she was absolutely in heaven! I've heard that Austin's lady was brought in for this session and she was sitting there as he sang. If that's the case, then she needs to be there every time he goes into the studio! Great job, guys! By the way, who do we have to thank for this arrangement? It was perfect!
From Cape Town, South Africa! What harmony... What passion... What gifted voices (from Heaven for sure) Love to all of you who sing together and to all of your fans. Many blessings!
I can definitely identify with what you’ve just said.I was just a young girl & remember the original , however when song is sung such as this , all I can say this version is absolutely , beautiful ,just beautiful
From Germany with love and admiration. This is really great. It reminds me of the good years that we had, with friends listening to those wonderful songs.
How Austin’s has grown . That skinny little kid, has now an amazing depth and maturity in his voice. Austin you knocked out of the ballpark. Your best yet. Continue to grow. Fabulous, beautiful, best rendition of that song ever. It made my husband and I cry after 54 years of marriage! Thank you.
This is one of my favorite songs and Austin did a great job. My husband and I have been married 50 years and he walked in and gave me a big kiss. It brought back good memories.
My personal favourite cover is by Burton Cummings, but I just might be made to reconsider (Burton goes into the whole 1980s blue-eyed soul and it's magnificent, but I'm liking what Austin is doing there.....
True.. for me only Mike Young could reach Pierce. I m still hoping one day I will hear "when a man loves a woman" from him ... I mean this version sounds good but I can't feel any soul :)
@@offthehook4u I finally found the love of life. It’s amazing. He’s nothing like what I thought was looking for. We’re so happy together. He tells me I’m beautiful.
Percy done this song right from the very beginning. Nobody comes close. These guys put their own twist on it but not even close to Percy with the emotion.
I lost my husband last year and this reminds me of how much he loved me. He told someone he kept hanging on because he didn't want me to be alone. We had a special love and made it thru many years of him being ill. Thank you.
Oh Pam! I can so relate. When we were young we would dance to this song as my brother delivered a great vocal with his garage band. We never knew what would come in later years. Now we struggle through renal failure but I am still blessed to have him here. He too refuses to leave me behind and remains. So sorry that was not your blessing. I send 💕 love to you in his absence. It's very possible that I too will be experiencing your pain and loss. In the interim, this song is most comforting. Shalom to you!
My husband died from Pancreatic cancer in 2006 and he said he didn’t think we could make it without him too. We are making it but not very good,we definitely had to make lots of changes and we were spoiled, things like we were used to just hoping in the cars and they were always gassed up and ready to go. Suddenly there was mountains of trash that needed taken out and groceries carried in and snow to get rid of and so many other chores that we took for granted. Oil changes gosh how does that get done because the oil light came on in the car. My husband didn’t sing or dance but he got up every morning at 6:00 am and rain or shine went to work to bring home that bacon and turned over those paychecks, he wasn’t terribly romantic either but he was faithful to me and always dependable. We do miss him a bunch. But we are just getting by. We had to be stronger and tougher than he thought we could be.
God Bless You. I know the love you feel, I lost my wife in 2016 to cancer, just after our 40th wedding anniversary. This song hits it perfectly and sung with voices of angels. 🙏🏽🇦🇺
Austin KILLED it. I thought I wouldn't be surprised because we all know the song and what he can do, but still surprised me. He's a vocal beast. This is why we love a cappella. It's better than anything non a cappella on the radio so I hope the industry takes note. I want them to fill stadiums when we can move on with our lives after this covid crap, win grammies, and have all success they deserve. Brilliant guys. Great team and work. Keep it up.
There are so many old songs out there that new artists try covers for. While some will never be good as the original, I can personally say that Home Free took this old song and gave it some new love.
Yes....the best. Percy Sledge had a great voice, but he couldn’t do these runs and vocal dynamics. Austin has a better harmony background with Home Free. Plus, Austin’s voice has such clarity......wow.
Austin, I've never heard anyone sing from the inside out before I heard you sing this song! Bravo! I mean you reach way down inside your beautiful soul! Thank you for giving this song a set of wings! God bless you sir!
Austin is Wow, just Wow! These classic ballads are his wheelhouse and he will blow us away every single time! Fantastic job by all. As a Patron I’ve gotta say, you guys have continuously put out amazing music and plenty of content to keep us entertained during these crazy times. It is much appreciated, Thank you!! 💛🎶💛
They took a classic love song and, as usual, raised it up to a whole other level. Great job, Austin, for your exceptional vocalization and for the others for awesome backup. I love how these guys feature each other’s talents.
I hope that they do a CD with all these new songs that they are doing.....I cant wait to hear them over and over in the car! Austin's voice is always perfection as well as all the other guys too.....I wish they were so much more famous....but one song at a time I guess! Love them and have seen them in person 4 times and they never disappoint!
Sometimes I wish they were more famous - other times I think the industry will ruin them.Better they stick to their own AMAZING thing ! I'd love a CD with all these too (I know no one listens to CD's anymore - but we do !)
I'm torn between wanting them to be the huge stars they deserve to be, & selfishly loving the intimacy of the smaller venues along with the affordability of tickets & meet-&-greets.
I am going to pretend you are singing this to me!!! lol Seriously, you guys are sunshine any weather, any day! I will forever and always love your music!
He is one of the best vocalists have heard . His life style , care for his family , the values he has expressed all contribute to who he is A. Extraordinary person with a great voice!

You are pure MAGIC!!!!! Happy Chinese New Year of the Ox today!!!!!
Hehe, I did my retweet just now! :-) We gotcha, Austin!
I love Michael Bolton, but Percy Sledge was the man when it came to this song. Think you gave both of them a run for their money.
Great version Austin :) You really hit it out of the park. I'll be sure to share the video on Twitter and tag Michael ;) Hoping he likes it too.
If Michael Bolton doesn't like it there are people all over the world that are loving it...he's one person you've been approved and appreciated by thousands according to the comments....great job and I'm lovin it...❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of the greatest covers of any song OF ALL TIME. The fellas did a PHENOMENAL job on this.
Can't wait to see your reaction!!!
Looking forward to your reaction vid! I'm sure it's going to be great!

Your reaction will be amazing...I already know

Been a long time since a Home Free song showcased Austin's range, depth, and sheer talent like this. Simply breathtaking. Thank you.
I think Austin really did an incredible job with the rest of the group
Thanks Guys
And this one surely show cased his talent
What a superb range Austin has! 🎤🎼🎵
Awesome version Austin's voice incredibly gifted!
The man is just incredible

This is my beloved and my song. Loved each other for the last 53 years, married for 50. Played this for her just now, we danced, smiled, and cried. Thank you.
You ate so lucky
Lucky you.
This version makes an old girl’s toes curl; the passion he delivers is immeasurable ‼️ 💜🌹🥰
You did it right! Love it!
Agree. I've watched it over and over. Never heard of Home Free before. They're awesome!
My 77 yr old bones agree heartedly!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing but wasn’t going to say it. lol 😝
Lol, is old girls are still girls md miss that lustful longing we had back when we had some spunk.
Austin should be on a cover as the sexiest man alive!
This, boys and girls, is where babies come from.
Lol No lie! 😂
Funny
That is so true
Well if you was young enough to have them...But yep...😁😆
Yes, yes, yes! Pure honey coming from their mouths.
I knew Austin would kill it. This song was made for him. And, was curious to see what Adam did with percussion. I was not disappointed.
Dang, I knew Austin had a vocal range, but THIS???
Absolutely amazing
Go watch him on his own channel singing Unchained Melody, it's had FIFTEEN MILLION views
He NEEDS to stop looking at us that way when he’s singing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi...
I know, right?? What a sexy sweet look!! Phew!!🔥
He looks at us like each of us is the only person in the world and he is singing it just to us.
@@anitaharris9095 saw them live last week!!! Row 2!!! AWESOMENESS!!!
Maybe not....
Austin’s voice is extraordinary the home free a cappella is the best ever but Austins glazes into the camera with his eyes is hypnotic it’s a glance into his soul which is pure These songs that showcase Austin’s range and the brilliance of Home Free and the camera work our epic
Exactly 😁 agreed 100%
Yesssss
He conquered you, didn't he?
Well, they certainly nailed that one didn't they.
As usual
Text us if you’re in such category or know anyone who is (430) 558-5109
Holy crap guys. This song just oozes GRAMMY from start to finish. It showcases all your best group talents, and Austin explores a whole new universe at the same time.
Yes this granny for sure🤣🤣
I SURE HOPE AUSTIN AND HOME FREE READ ALAN LAND REVIEW! I AGREE 1,000 %! ☺️🕊
I'm a 61 year old woman, I love this song, but I've never known love from a man, but I believe God will one day give me that man.
Oh. My. Goodness. Gents, when that opening note Austin cracks gives me the shivers, I just hit the like button and settle in. It's -32F here. And the shivers were NOT from the cold. Austin, that voice. Damn. I have kids older than you son, but shivery anyway. Y'all killed it.
Same. Immediately liked it!
Home Free is the absolute best thing that I accidentally stumbled upon on TH-cam.
You guys are all the absolutely the greatest!
Love, love, love your music and vocals!
Just found you guys and have you on repeat. So many beautiful songs😃
U got that right.
I found Home Free by accident & that was the best accident I've ever had.
A stray Aussie here🙃
A beautiful voice!!!
@@buddhacook1087 another stray Aussie here, found them by accident, love em.
me too
All these years and I'm still trying to figure out how your covers are better than most originals.
Amen! I was just thinking the same thing. Every cover I have heard so far is better than the original.
They have just shown that the world's greatest instrument is the human voice.
This is what I love about Home Free. They know the perfect member who'll shine in a specific song. Most importantly, they're perfect.
They're human instruments.
For sure. Austin is a special singer.
I remember the first time I ever heard Austin sing and thought wow he’s so good and sings so high, but Austin you’re even better now and your voice is amazing! Love all of Home Free, but this time Austin knocked it out of the park!
With a little help from his friends. To use a food analogy. For sure the dish has to be cooked to perfection, but the chef will tell you presentation is key as we eat with our eyes as well. Austin the well cooked meal and the harmonies and beat the presentation and garnish that brings it all together. Guess you can tell i've been listening to this for MANY hours
Spirit if Life.. keep on flowing and singing and building humanity.
Incrível perfomance a deste grupo. Adoro Hom Fre
Not only is Home Free the best group around but they never fail at making their renditions of songs their own. Austin’s voice made this the best version I have ever heard and the backup was amazing as always.
You are awesome. I’m an 83 year old widow lady and when I listen to your song it makes me feel young again. I had a husband I loved very much and after 56 years of wonderful marriage I lost him. Thanks again.
I'm glad to hear that this song makes you feel young again. I wish you all the best this new year! And even though your husband isn't there with you, he's resting peacefully in Heaven, so don't worry. Stay strong, and lots of health and joy in 2023! ❤
I lost my husband of 51 years and the older songs make me remember how much in love we were ,he was 74 and agent orange took him away from me 😢 we were like peas and carrots so much in love I never dreamed I would be a widow at 72❤
I cannot put into words how much your comment touched my soul. Your words just lifted my pain and replaced it with the memories of the man I lost.
Has me crying and smiling at the same time.
Thank you.
❤
Why oh why is this singer not famous all over the world?!?😄😇☝
that background is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
That’s what I am asking!!
Because to make it big you literally have to sell you soul to make it.
@@kimhagerman9128 there's no way I could do that. Elvis had Colonel Tom Parker and he kept telling Elvis "bad people out there". So, he protected Elvis and reaped the benefits of it. Prayers to God Almighty, in the name of Jesus can cut them down like the snakes they are!😇😊☝
@@reginaterrymegginson1391 amen Regina.
My jaw unhinged this was so good. Must admit this song was never a favourite, but THIS song?! Wow. Those last high notes from Austin rising 'out of' the harmony! Repeat. Adam, Chance, Rob and Tim providing the perfect frame for this performance. Home Free well done. I would listen to this for another ten years and not get bored. Man you guys are good
That song sounds like it was written just for Austin! Absolutely divine!
The reason I love TH-cam.. can’t find this talent on the radio
This is absolutely next level - Austin was born to sing this song, such passion and those extra high notes just wow, a lead vocal performance can't get any better than that
Wow. Austin NAILED it!!! Amazing! Everyone else sounded fantastic too!!
Hello Pretty 💖
This is one of those rare times when a cover is better than the original. Austin just KILLS!
I loved Percy Sledges version, and I love Austin's version. They're both so unique you can't compare them. I'm sure Michael Bolton's version is good, too.
Agree
Awsome Job Guys.
BRAVO. I'm 71 now.cant believe it.haha.i heard this the day it came out with Ole Percy.
God Bless You All Stay FOCUSED on Jesus my Friends.👍
Y'all need to do the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"
Yeah, but with all of them singing lead. No music just voices. Can hear it now
YES! YES! YES, PLEASE!!!!! 💓🙏🏻
Agreed
Please add in doing "Unchained Melody". Austin really needs to do this, especially Bobby's high note that everybody waits for.
@@ginnywithag5046 Austin already did 3 weeks ago. It's on tube under Austin Brown unchained melody like you have never heard.
I've always loved this song from the times I heard Percy Sledge sing it, I loved Michael Bolton's take on it, but I gotta tell you that there's a new sheriff in town now! Austin? Son, you done blowed everybody outta the water in this one! I'll bet the Jewel was absolutely loving it when you started singing and by the time you got near the end and began to crank out those high notes, she was absolutely in heaven! I've heard that Austin's lady was brought in for this session and she was sitting there as he sang. If that's the case, then she needs to be there every time he goes into the studio! Great job, guys! By the way, who do we have to thank for this arrangement? It was perfect!
From Cape Town, South Africa!
What harmony...
What passion...
What gifted voices (from Heaven for sure)
Love to all of you who sing together and to all of your fans.
Many blessings!
Hello Pretty 💖
Hello beautiful how are you doing
Mercy Christ ou
WOW! Just wow! So emotional! So romantic! Seems like it was written tailored to Austin’s voice. Gives me the chills! Home Free you RULE!
For 55 years this song has meant the world to me; with this version, now even more so. You're breaking my heart, boys..but with joy.
Kath, I agree, I loved Percy Sledge but this brings such joy to the soul. 😊
I can definitely identify with what you’ve just said.I was just a young girl & remember the original , however when song is sung such as this , all I can say this version is absolutely , beautiful ,just beautiful
From Germany with love and admiration. This is really great.
It reminds me of the good years that we had, with friends listening to those wonderful songs.
Groovy Man!! Loving this! Too many memories!! 🌼🌼🌼🌼🙏💙🎶
@@dorothytaylor7369 you just gotta love Austin's voice!! 👏👏👏😊
How Austin’s has grown . That skinny little kid, has now an amazing depth and maturity in his voice. Austin you knocked out of the ballpark. Your best yet. Continue to grow. Fabulous, beautiful, best rendition of that song ever. It made my husband and I cry after 54 years of marriage! Thank you.
This is one of my favorite songs and Austin did a great job. My husband and I have been married 50 years and he walked in and gave me a big kiss. It brought back good memories.
how can their covers always be better than the original? wail, Austin, wail!!
It must be wonderful to be loved like that
Percy Sledge was definitely honored here. Much better than the Michael Bolton version.
Definitely
It is awesome but Percy IS STILL THE MAN !!!!
My personal favourite cover is by Burton Cummings, but I just might be made to reconsider (Burton goes into the whole 1980s blue-eyed soul and it's magnificent, but I'm liking what Austin is doing there.....
True.. for me only Mike Young could reach Pierce. I m still hoping one day I will hear "when a man loves a woman" from him ... I mean this version sounds good but I can't feel any soul :)
Michael can't hold a stick to this.
I've never heard anyone sing this song like Austin does. It makes you wish you could find that kind of love. Love Love Home Free!
Carly, that type of love truly exists. There are those of us who have been blessed to find it. 50 years this year. It is my hope that you do too.
@@offthehook4u
I finally found the love of life. It’s amazing. He’s nothing like what I thought was looking for. We’re so happy together. He tells me I’m beautiful.
Percy done this song right from the very beginning. Nobody comes close. These guys put their own twist on it but not even close to Percy with the emotion.
@@zaneturner4478 Home Free is amazing they do it in their own style they don't need to copy anyone
Been listening to this song for over 50 years. This is the absolute best rendition I've ever heard. Mesmerized me. No words left.
I agree. It's that good.
No kidding! James Brown was awesome, and so soulful, but these guys can really bring it too!!!!🥰🙂
The most romantic love song I’ve ever heard in my life !
@@susielee8101 It would nice if romantic and sensitive men were easy to find:)
Not Michael but Boy it's so good
This song never sounded so better to my ears… great voice, great presence
I lost my husband last year and this reminds me of how much he loved me. He told someone he kept hanging on because he didn't want me to be alone. We had a special love and made it thru many years of him being ill. Thank you.
Oh Pam! I can so relate. When we were young we would dance to this song as my brother delivered a great vocal with his garage band. We never knew what would come in later years. Now we struggle through renal failure but I am still blessed to have him here. He too refuses to leave me behind and remains. So sorry that was not your blessing. I send 💕 love to you in his absence. It's very possible that I too will be experiencing your pain and loss. In the interim, this song is most comforting. Shalom to you!
My husband died from Pancreatic cancer in 2006 and he said he didn’t think we could make it without him too. We are making it but not very good,we definitely had to make lots of changes and we were spoiled, things like we were used to just hoping in the cars and they were always gassed up and ready to go. Suddenly there was mountains of trash that needed taken out and groceries carried in and snow to get rid of and so many other chores that we took for granted. Oil changes gosh how does that get done because the oil light came on in the car. My husband didn’t sing or dance but he got up every morning at 6:00 am and rain or shine went to work to bring home that bacon and turned over those paychecks, he wasn’t terribly romantic either but he was faithful to me and always dependable. We do miss him a bunch. But we are just getting by. We had to be stronger and tougher than he thought we could be.
God Bless You. I know the love you feel, I lost my wife in 2016 to cancer, just after our 40th wedding anniversary. This song hits it perfectly and sung with voices of angels. 🙏🏽🇦🇺
While I can certainly feel sad for your loss, I will not let this song be about sadness. I celebrate all my emotions and this represents joy to me.
Aw 🥺 I only hope my fiance and I have a love that strong when we are older! Such a beautiful story
Austin KILLED it. I thought I wouldn't be surprised because we all know the song and what he can do, but still surprised me. He's a vocal beast. This is why we love a cappella. It's better than anything non a cappella on the radio so I hope the industry takes note. I want them to fill stadiums when we can move on with our lives after this covid crap, win grammies, and have all success they deserve. Brilliant guys. Great team and work. Keep it up.
Austin wow you are so amazing.
How are you Caroline?
These guys never do anything half-assed. Everything they do is some of best ever.
There are so many old songs out there that new artists try covers for. While some will never be good as the original, I can personally say that Home Free took this old song and gave it some new love.
One of, and probably the very best, version of this song I’ve EVER heard … chills…. Wow!!! What a voice and great talent as backup too!!!❤️❤️😂
WOW LOVE IT !!!!
Yes....the best. Percy Sledge had a great voice, but he couldn’t do these runs and vocal dynamics. Austin has a better harmony background with Home Free. Plus, Austin’s voice has such clarity......wow.
Austin has cutest smile ever. Looks like he is very nice guy!
Agreed
He absolutely is! All five of them are super sweet! ❤
Austin, I've never heard anyone sing from the inside out before I heard you sing this song! Bravo! I mean you reach way down inside your beautiful soul! Thank you for giving this song a set of wings! God bless you sir!
Kenny Rogers did that.
He's in love himself so it is genuine.
Great, esp. because he sings with his eyes open. Most of the tme
I agee. Well said!
Best said.
Lawd when he looks at the camera he pierces my soul!! Love this rendition!!!
Austin is Wow, just Wow! These classic ballads are his wheelhouse and he will blow us away every single time! Fantastic job by all. As a Patron I’ve gotta say, you guys have continuously put out amazing music and plenty of content to keep us entertained during these crazy times. It is much appreciated, Thank you!! 💛🎶💛
Ditto
Wonderful ,clear vocals .
Hello
Hello Lisa how are you doing
Lord Have Mercy!!!
Dude..
You're not normal.
The notes are stunning
I'm sure when they eventually come down they're covered in ice.
My late husband loved me like this and I miss him daily.
Austin's voice is magnificent. The entire group is a gift for which I thank all of you.
The way their voices blend together is incredible. Every cover they do always measures up. We'll done Home Free. This is incredible
Austin's voice was made for this song.
I think his voice was made for all the songs created and the new to come!!!
oh yes exactly :-)
The new Micheal Bolton
You’ve just melted every female heart that hears this
It is like the melody was made for Austin!
They took a classic love song and, as usual, raised it up to a whole other level. Great job, Austin, for your exceptional vocalization and for the others for awesome backup. I love how these guys feature each other’s talents.
204 thumbs down, who are these people?
Austin you have the best voice on the planet. I’m hooked.
they are the kind of people who like to kick puppies and punch sweet old ladies.
It was the really anxious people who hit the wrong key...lol
Australians …they see everything upside down they thought it was the like key, we must forgive..
I might be 62 but young man is fine and has a great smile!!!❤
Oh, yeah, sister!! 😂😂😂
I hope that they do a CD with all these new songs that they are doing.....I cant wait to hear them over and over in the car! Austin's voice is always perfection as well as all the other guys too.....I wish they were so much more famous....but one song at a time I guess! Love them and have seen them in person 4 times and they never disappoint!
Sometimes I wish they were more famous - other times I think the industry will ruin them.Better they stick to their own AMAZING thing ! I'd love a CD with all these too (I know no one listens to CD's anymore - but we do !)
Definitely so much better than Michael Bolton I'm not sure he isn't better than Percy Sledge version
I'm torn between wanting them to be the huge stars they deserve to be, & selfishly loving the intimacy of the smaller venues along with the affordability of tickets & meet-&-greets.
I am going to pretend you are singing this to me!!! lol Seriously, you guys are sunshine any weather, any day! I will forever and always love your music!
Seriously, every women deserves a man that makes them feel the way Austin makes them feel when listening to him sing this song.
The best voice ever, love it
that mans voice gives me goose bumps. Austin, Austin such a sweet voice
He is one of the best vocalists have heard . His life style , care for his family , the values he has expressed all contribute to who he is A. Extraordinary person with a great voice!
And he’s cute too🙂
How are you linda?
You don't don't need Michael Bolton's approval ..Brother best version I have ever heard! Love you all!!
Totally agree.
Holy shit, what a voice!!!!
