you will Love brothers in Arms / Mayday / Snow Globe / Full of Cheer / Cold Hard Cash / Dreamer / also Dreamer Live with Texas Hill at the Ryman (Holy Church of Country Music) / One Man Band / Diamond Dreams / Catch Me If You Can / Cover Me Up / yeah I'm not a fan giggle
I agree with Dawn. I do hope you will be doing May Day, Brother's in Arms, or God Bless the Broken Road. All are incredibly well done with lots to analyze. #Subscriptionsquad
After hearing this song with three voices for 55 years with three voices, I had some trepidation about adding voices, but they nailed it. For a song with absolutely no bass part, just enough was added. It all speaks to their mastery of the art and their professionalism.
Might be the largest whiplash you could have had between two days of home free lol. Glad you finally got to this one as the harmonies and the way they linger is intense
As a lover of vocal harmonies, this used to be my favorite Home Free cover, that is until they recently released their cover of Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms, which is harmonies' heaven.
It's hard to pick a favorite. To me, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in, and what I'm thinking at the time. I still love Butts when I want to have a good laugh, Brothers in Arms when I'm thinking of our Soldiers, and Amazing Grace when I'm thinking of spirituality. ALL of their songs resonate with my soul
I grew up listening to Crosby, Stills & Nash & had their album with this song Helplessly Hoping. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. This song is full of alliterations. Home Free more than does justice to all the songs they cover. And this song is perfection to me with the 5 part harmonies. I can't say enough about how great these guys are & humble while still staying respectful to the original song.
Yes, Yes, Yes! I also grew up with CSN...&Y (I'm Canadian) and have absolute respect for how Home Free covered this classic and also, being a huge Dire Straits fan, love their version of Brothers In Arms.
Crosby Stills & Nash broke some ground with this song, creating an alliterative lyric that lingers in one's mind and soul. I believe this is Home Free's finest hour, in terms of technical prowess and harmonic perfection. But that unison singing, though! I love it, and I love your breakdown of it as always, Jen. Many thanks!
Now you see why I recommended this one on at least one occasion. An all vocal masterclass on harmonies, proving that you don’t need to have a complex arrangement to get an amazing performance
Very true to the original. Crosby Stills and Nash and for the time he was with them Young were a brilliant combo. Definitely a major part of the soundtrack of my youth.
I spoke to both Chance and Tim about this song at VIP last week. This was Chance's baby. He had a vision of what he wanted visually and vocally with people coming in each in turn, but it was Tim who did the actual arrangement.
as always our Boys showed out and performed to perfection. Just to show you how valuable Chance is, this was his project & vision....he directed this video and I think his artistic choices are awesome !!! B & W, lighting....it's all perfect
I discovered these men several years ago when they won sing off. Been hooked ever since. I seen them live about 4 years ago and they are truly just as good live as on video and a genuine good group of men. They are coming here to Eastern Idaho again this October and my wife and I were lucky enough to get great seats. They sold out in one day. I enjoy your reactions and hope that things are all good with you. Peace.
I love that you picked up on the unison at the beginning. What makes it all the more impressive for me is that it occurs with a bass/baritone and a tenor instead of two voices of equal pitch. It showcases both the range and level of talent of these guys. And the unison is near perfect.
Glad you chose this song, timing and precise notes makes this piece one of the best. How great thou art is just as good if not better! Adam takes the lead in a small section of that one! Love your breakdowns! Helps me with my singing! Kenneth
Jennifer your enthusiasm and love for vocals is infectious and puts a smile on my face. Great song, great performance and great reaction/review. Thanks!
The variety and versatility of these guys is so impressive. I think they could sing just about anything. Thank you for your analysis. It's always so interesting and informative.
Great job Jen! I love this rendition because it is more solemn than the original performance, and more in keeping with Stephen Stills' lyric direction. Stills is one of my musical heroes, the first person to be inducted *twice* into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in the same night no less. He has stayed consistently in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists list.
An exquisite 5-part harmony masterpiece!!!!! Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is such a great treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ The best example of Adam's singing voice being clearly on display is near the end of Home Free's "Guilty Pleasures" videos. The "hilariously derailed" versions are even more fabulous for days when you might need a laugh break 🤣
I have been wanting to see you react to this video for some time now to see how you break it down. I am going to borrow something you said in another reaction video of yours " Stop Pausing" 😜 lol. no on a serious note, love how you break down each song that you react too and it is fun to see your reactions to a lot of these songs. Hope you plan on doing a reaction video for "How great thow art" by Home Free, probably may favorite song they have done. Keep up the great work and thanks for your great videos 💓
I'm a big fan of Crosby, Stills & Nash as well as Dire Straits. Home Free's versions of "Helplessly Hoping" and "Brothers In Arms" pay huge respect to the originals and are masterpieces in their own but listening to the originals if you don't know them would make you love Home Free even more.
All of what Home Free did in this song was done on the original (as far as the harmonies, changes, slides and breaking up some of the words). Check out the original by Crosby, Stills and Nash (not a live version).
Both Adam's swapped out of their high-highs and low-lows a couple of times in there. Most people don't think about Rupp having the range he does, but it shows in his beatboxing so smoothly that no one notices. Especially when doing the DJ stuff he will have high squeal scratches mixed with thundering 808 bass in the same breath.
That unison you pointed out is phenomenal. The first time I heard this without seeing the video, I didn’t even know there were two people singing there!
You tease! 🥲😆Now you just have to enjoy it without critiquing it. I've listened to it a half dozen times just to hear the bridging and harmony. Thanks for the reaction Jenn.
Always love your reviews Jen because they are informative as well as entertaining. Love your persona. My problem is that sometimes I have to go back and listen to what you just said over again because I get distracted by your pretty face, charm and wide range of endearing facial expressions. You're just a pleasure to watch. Can't wait for Day 3. So glad you're focusing on my favourite group Home Free. Saw them live in Toronto in May and they were fantastic. Including Adam doing an amazing drum solo. My wife was blown away by how she could "feel" Tim's low notes and how full the sound was considering no instruments other than voices. Thanks again.
FYI - Steve Stills wrote the song as he courted a woman who had a child from a prior romance. Which is how "We are THREE together" makes sense. I dearly love the CSN version. But Home Free's cover leaves me crying , every time.
I think you would enjoy listening to Home Free collaborating with Peter Hollens, singing “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. It is a technical masterpiece for the amazing blending of voices. I believe they worked in over 300 of their Patreon members into the song.
The words are critical for the full meaning of this song two becomes too in the second go round and three becomes free and four becomes for. I've known this song since CS%N released it way back in the late 60's. Learned the difference when a reactor had the book for the song and pointed it out. Given the pedigree of the original singers it isn't surprising.
One of my favorites of theirs. It’s hauntingly beautiful. Their harmonies are so good. Yeah what a contrast between yesterday Butts Remix and today. Hahaha. Love this one. Good reaction Jen!😄
I love this cover of theirs. It demonstrates so well their vocal control. I'm puzzled why I didn't get a notification from TH-cam about this one having been posted up. I knew you were doing a HF week so I thought I'd just check and sure enough here's day 2. Well anyway, glad I came here despite the TH-cam mix up. Talk about picking 2 extremes to react to in two days! Lol. You've done a most excellent job, as usual. I do hope you get the chance to see them live one day. If you find what the do amazing in studio, you'll be blown over by their live performances!
If you havent heard Adam Chances original song Song for Home, its so good. It should be #1 on the Country charts. I may call stations to have them play it to help him along.
I've also heard this song called sad. I think we could agree that it is hauntingly sad. Please listen to the remaster of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. It has the same vibe, just from another era.
The harmonies in this cover are haunting. I agree that it's too short though! One of their best. I think they one-upped themselves with Brothers in Arms though.
Completely different from yesterday but WOW! Loved seeing this side :)
See you tomorrow! X
you will Love brothers in Arms / Mayday / Snow Globe / Full of Cheer / Cold Hard Cash / Dreamer / also Dreamer Live with Texas Hill at the Ryman (Holy Church of Country Music) / One Man Band / Diamond Dreams / Catch Me If You Can / Cover Me Up / yeah I'm not a fan giggle
I agree with Dawn. I do hope you will be doing May Day, Brother's in Arms, or God Bless the Broken Road. All are incredibly well done with lots to analyze. #Subscriptionsquad
Some reactors dismiss them as "countrty bumpkins" these are professional artists and they care about their craft
Don´t forget "in the blood"
Recommend you listen to the original. This is faithful to that but with their own spin and feel.
After hearing this song with three voices for 55 years with three voices, I had some trepidation about adding voices, but they nailed it. For a song with absolutely no bass part, just enough was added. It all speaks to their mastery of the art and their professionalism.

Yes. Yes and yes. Spot on.
Such a gorgeous cover of CSN&Y 💜💜💜
No Y on this one, guys...
@@larryfisher7056 Don't worry, it's a Canadian thing 🤓
Their Helplessly Hoping gives me goosebumps every time! And then I start to tear up. It's just so beautiful.
Crosby Stills & Nash broke some ground with this song, creating an alliterative lyric that lingers in one's mind and soul. I believe this is Home Free's finest hour, in terms of technical prowess and harmonic perfection. But that unison singing, though! I love it, and I love your breakdown of it as always, Jen.

Very powerful! Thank you 😊
This is the most captivating performance of a unique song.
Now you see why I recommended this one on at least one occasion. An all vocal masterclass on harmonies, proving that you don’t need to have a complex arrangement to get an amazing performance
Not many reactors have commented on how long Tim held that low note when they were counting down how many they were. Awesome breath control
Very true to the original. Crosby Stills and Nash and for the time he was with them Young were a brilliant combo. Definitely a major part of the soundtrack of my youth.
The use of reverb in this is absolutely EPIC. Gives me chills every time I hear it. Kudos to the tech that got it PERFECT.
I spoke to both Chance and Tim about this song at VIP last week. This was Chance's baby. He had a vision of what he wanted visually and vocally with people coming in each in turn, but it was Tim who did the actual arrangement.
Oh I love hearing these little inside stories; thank you!
Aren't they great live?
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info. As a big fan of the original, I didn’t love it on the first listen. But as of the 2nd listen, I adore this HF version.
This one is absolutely flawless (like "Auld Lang Syne"). Chance is solo on "Can't Outrun You" - so beautiful.
No one else has, so I'll just commend the extensive use of jazz hands in this video. Well deserved.
This song is the song I go to sleep to every night. And so have I done for about 3 years. Never get tired of the song.🥰
Chills down my spine when the Basso kicks in
Thank you! Home Free’s version is haunting.
I Love Tim's 5 octave range
as always our Boys showed out and performed to perfection. Just to show you how valuable Chance is, this was his project & vision....he directed this video and I think his artistic choices are awesome !!! B & W, lighting....it's all perfect
I think this is their best song for harmonies that they have made
I discovered these men several years ago when they won sing off. Been hooked ever since. I seen them live about 4 years ago and they are truly just as good live as on video and a genuine good group of men. They are coming here to Eastern Idaho again this October and my wife and I were lucky enough to get great seats. They sold out in one day.

I saw them in Boise, Sept 22.
Wonderful show.
as aleays great job, cant wait till tomorrow. you can put all thier songs in a hat ,just pick one out. You cant go wrong with any song.
Hahah very true!
This is IMO their most hauntingly beautiful song. I'm so glad you're reacting/analyzing it!
I love that you picked up on the unison at the beginning. What makes it all the more impressive for me is that it occurs with a bass/baritone and a tenor instead of two voices of equal pitch. It showcases both the range and level of talent of these guys. And the unison is near perfect.

Yay!! Thank you 😊
One of my favourite songs Ever. Home Free absolutely killed it. Thank you so much for your time and reaction. Peace and blessings.
Absolutely beautiful and shows off how versatile they are. Loved it
Love this. ❤️ Your facial expressions match all of those who watch this for the first time. Hauntingly beautiful performance.
For sure!😊
"Lo---ost: Goes with the word, because they are not together." Very astute observation. Clever clever, Glatz. Hofer!
😊😊
Harmony perfection ... Home Free ... 'nuff said !!!
Jennifer your enthusiasm and love for vocals is infectious and puts a smile on my face. Great song, great performance and great reaction/review. Thanks!
Thank you! 😊
Never thought unison could sound so pretty!
Another one with great harmony and beautiful video is How Great Thou Art. They really make you feel it.
Please listen to that last section....Tim holds a bass note throughout until the last line
Perfection! Home Free is so versatile! Love them!!
Exquisite expertise, and the review was almost that good. This song shows off HF's sheer skill.
You keep playing home Free! I'll keep watching your videos!
😊😊
We need a month reaction to Home Free ;) beautiful and interesting reaction, like usual!
The sustain toward the end was incredible
Indeed!
I think you will appreciate this one Jennifer.
Adam has a great voice when he does sing. You can hear it a little bit in How Great Thou Art.
In his reaction video to Do You Hear What I Hear, Chris says Adam has a line there too.
Alabama Sampler is a better video to hear his voice in.
@@MatthewvMayo absolutely I didn't think of that.
The Sustain from the LAST 2 notes from Tim were about 30 Seconds EACH !
Their harmonies and arrangements are AMAZING
my wife and i saw Home Free a few years ago in Cottage Grove Oregon .we got to meet them !
Home free, In the blood, beautiful
At the end of Home Free Week we need to hear Jennifer singing live with Home Free guys! 😊 ❤️
Love, Love these guys!!!!
I love how you geek out over their vocals.
Wasn't this glorious? I love that they do this live during their shows sometimes. Looking forward to the rest of the week.
The variety and versatility of these guys is so impressive. I think they could sing just about anything. Thank you for your analysis. It's always so interesting and informative.

OMG, Jen! I've waited forever for you to react to this one! :O I just love love love their performance here!!!
There are some great sustaining notes in this one.
this song is gonna blow your mind it is so good.
Harmonics without flaw - you did not fail to intercede ... yet did not fail in that assessment ! That great a song. GBjj
Your joy is infectious! Thanks! Love it!
I just love your reactions and breakdowns of their voices,ty and please keep going I love what you do
Thank you!
I have been wanting to see you react to this video for some time now to see how you break it down.

Just makes me tingle inside .
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
This is so super sung with great harmonies from all five members. The black and white video really finishes it off. So short, but oh so powerful!
Such beautiful and rich harmony. I love listening to this. Pure ear candy! ...And that resolve near the end! 😍
This song is beautiful 😀
Loved the reaction as always 😊
Thank you!! 😊

ok, off the wall comment.... you have the coolest earrings i have ever seen! you are a fabulous reactor, keep up the great work!!
Great song (I’ve always loved the CSNY original as well).
That unison you pointed out is phenomenal. The first time I heard this without seeing the video, I didn’t even know there were two people singing there!
You tease! 🥲😆Now you just have to enjoy it without critiquing it. I've listened to it a half dozen times just to hear the bridging and harmony. Thanks for the reaction Jenn.
Your face when rob comes in with chance, that is why I watch🤤
The harmonies in this song are incredible. Loved your Butts reaction.
Gorgeous harmonies done perfectly!
This one of the very few covers of CS&N that I actually love. Hanuting.
Love, love, love this song. The only descriptive word I can think of is 'precision'😮
Always love your reviews Jen because they are informative as well as entertaining. Love your persona.

When I saw the title of the song I knew I would love your reaction! I was right! Love Home Free’s rendition of this song and just loved your reaction!
Thank you!! 😊
FYI - Steve Stills wrote the song as he courted a woman who had a child from a prior romance.
Which is how "We are THREE together" makes sense.
I dearly love the CSN version.
But Home Free's cover leaves me crying , every time.
The opposite of the Butts Remix is How Great Thou Art. Thanks for your reaction to my favorite Acapella band.
Powerful stuff ... these guys nailed it. 'Nuff said.
I've been waiting for you to do this one. thanks!
😊🙌🏼

Jen, the You Tube reactors channel is Soprano Notes, she's a young black woman who sings opera!
One of my favorites of theirs. It’s hauntingly beautiful. Their harmonies are so good. Yeah what a contrast between yesterday Butts Remix and today. Hahaha. Love this one. Good reaction Jen!😄
I love how they all sound together. Great range and harmonies. 😍
For sure!!! 😊
You are a delight, Jen, and your genuine enjoyment of the music is a delight. Thank you :~)

Pure talent!!💗
The harmonies in this cover are haunting. I agree that it's too short though! One of their best. I think they one-upped themselves with Brothers in Arms though.
Oh and How Great Thou Art!
Love the stacked chords in this one. Another great analysis.
Thanks for the review. Would have liked to hear your thoughts on the alliteration - how easy or difficult it is and how it is best done. Cheers!
The extended bass note you hear at "Lost" is Tim and Chance. It took me a few repeats to realize it was two voices, not one.
I love your reactions. Your face says so much 🤗
This versions by Home Free always gives me chills no matter how many times I hear it
