What has always amazed me about this arrangement is that Chance and Rob have very distinct different voices. But when they join together their voices sound exactly the same.
Oh! I have been waiting for this one! You are my favorite reactor for the easy to understand analysis, and I love watching your face! Priceless. Thank you!
This is one of my absolute favorite HF performances. It shows not only the incredible tightness of their harmonies, but also their unison timing and blending. But even more, I enjoy the extreme artistry in their arrangements -- this one so like the original, but oh, so, different!
Thank you, Sir! I've been waiting for this one! Your reaction was worth watching over again. I'm so glad you enjoyed this amazing song, both the original and HF's version. I loved CSN's harmonies back in their day. This is my absolute favorite HF cover. Again, thanks for your superb analysis.
This is beautiful!! One of my favorites of CSN. Didn't think anyone could do it justice. Your right Home Free was the only group who could do this justice.
The precision of breathing in sync, the lockstep of going from unison, to harmony, back to unison, to harmony, the arrangement where several points the baseline hangs on to notes for extended time while the other parts are coming in stages is so incredible, it just like having the most exquisite high end sweets you can buy. The ear candy this presentation provides is so remarkable that I can not think of another to compare it to. The vast array of genres this group presents at the quality they represent is unparalleled in my opinion. ❣ Subscribed - a Home Fry
In the Middle Ages, a masterpiece was the work submitted by someone seeking admission to a guild. This piece is HF's masterpiece. It is an extreme exhibition of their extraordinary expertise.
If you enjoyed this, you'll definitely enjoy their cover of Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms". Tim stayed pretty close to Tuukka's Club For Five arrangement, so Tuukka should definitely get some credit. Home Free's recording tho, is #Transcendent imho.... deeply haunting. If you're not impressed, I'lll give you your money back myself!! ;)
Masterpiece ❤ Home Free just released a new fun video called Jump Right In ( Zac Brown cover) Adam Chance also released a new video called Mrs Potters Lullaby ( Counting Crows cover )
I love your reactions. I've watched a lot of other channels and had to abandon many of them after the first 2 sentences that came out of the reactor's mouth (if they could even qualify as sentences). You are very intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate. Also, you obviously have a great passion for what you do. Please, continue with your great choices and let us enjoy and learn.❤
🌱🌱🌱🌱 .. I certainly knew you would get here Sir Hairless. This gorgeous piece of singing is a favorite of us Home Fries. I am so glad you chose this video for a few selfish reasons , one was a hope that you would bring in a few seconds from the original , and you did. Thank you for that comparison. My one word stand out from your reaction is "exposed". That feeling is why I like this cover so much. Super analysis Sir ... thanks for your appreciation of Home Free. Now .. I have to go listen to some Crosby, Stills & Nash (( .. or , some Merle Haggard - you will get to him one day soon. 🤠 )) 🌱🌱🌱🌱
@@itzel1735 there are many .. but my first choice would be "Are The Good Times Really Over" ... I like so many , like , .. "If I Could Only Fly" - "Pancho & Lefty" - "Branded Man" - "Natural High" - "Sing Me Back Home" - "Silver Wings" .. for starters .. lol 🤠
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. A true masterpiece! I can't say enough about how great these guys are & humble while still staying respectful to the original song.
I get chills and tears from this one every time! I think this is my favorite of theirs. It's so haunting. These harmonies! I like how you described the feeling of vulnerability they create here. I love the tension that that brings. They are tasked to being perfect in timing and tone. They accomplish that so well. Demonstrating their vocal excellence. This is a true test of A Capella skill and talent! I'm so glad that this was the winner tonight. You describe how their choices affect us emotionally. I never had words for that, but you're absolutely correct in the words you choose. Many thanks to you!
I have said it many times and I feel like it will never change..... Your breakdowns and explanations are absolutely amazing. The expansion of my understanding is so nice after watching your reactions. Again Thank You ❤
Chance directed this one (as well as "I Can't Outrun You"). It's a master class in acapella - no beatboxing, just wonderful singing & harmonies. Thanks for playing this & your insights!
Thank you for this one, Sir! Been looking forward to your react on this one! Been sick in bed for a week - this has been a most welcome video to see pop up in my feed!
@@SirHairless i’m doing much better, thank you, Sir!! Watching you react to this one was the highlight of my day! Thank you for always breaking it down so concisely. I find your reacts to be fascinating!! 😘😘😘
CSN zooms be back to my childhood, it was my oldest brothers music and it reminds me of all of the times our parents made him take me with him, yes even on dates. 😂 I love CSN and I love Home Free’s version of their song. Thanks SH! T ✌🏻
@@SirHairless 😂 😂 😂 Right before I sent it I was like, oh my gosh, that looks like 💩! I sent it anyway because I am just that crazy! 🤪 You will be able to find me 👀 by that now infamous signature. Thanks SH! T ✌🏻 so so so so great! 😂
Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown singing Nessun Dorma. As a classical musician I believe you will enjoy this, Rob will steal your breath. I am not a singer, writer, musician or anything else tied to a music career but I love reactions because music feeds the SOUL! Facial expressions tell it all! Whether it has been heard before while advertising it's the first time, or that it is great when they could care less, a little more coin in their pocket. Your reactions tell truth! Haven't researched you but I would think you would know who Josh Groban and Dimash are. THANK YOU for this reaction! ❤❤❤❤
I think you would love any song on the album Beautiful Duets with Tim Foust and Peter Hollens. Every song is beautifully done with perfect harmonies and backed by their own voices layered many times. ❤
AMAZING PRECISION!! 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 ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ #HomeFree
The harmonies do me in on this one. I am happy that Chance had a bigger role in this song as I love the tambor of his voice. Smooth as silk and soooo satisfying.
Home Free has one unmatched talent in all the music they cover..they respect the music they cover so deeply, but at the same time they manage to recreate the soul of the music in new ways... really appreciated how you called out the power of the silences to compliment the music... great reaction!!
One of my favorites of theirs. This was Chance’s baby. I know he directed it and filmed it in black & white. He might have arranged it too but not sure. Good reaction SH! 😍😄
Brother, love your thorough & in depth analysis as always. Another one i think you enjoy musically & videographically is one that Adam Chance directed, and sings lead in, it's called "I can't outrun you" its a beautiful cover. Please if you can i the Home Fries and others will really enjoy your breakdown of the composition, and you'll have a chance to really disect a song led by Chance and his directìon too (he's multitalented)
I am so happy I found you. I am a seasoned Home Fry. Your analysis is brilliant and I cannot wait to hear more! I have always said this is simply a masterpiece and an entire class can be taught on this perfomance.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been anxiously awaiting your reaction to my all time Home Free rendition! Another marvelous informative reaction. Like Home Free you never disappoint.
I can never get enough of this song, partly because it is so short and because it is so beautiful. So much ear candy going on. I really enjoyed your analysis and I look forward to you doing more HF songs. You seem to get Home Free and why us Home Fries love their singing.
Rob is my "favorite" member of Home Free (as if that were possible), but I can't express the joy I felt when I first heard this and CHANCE went first. Then, there's the unusual treat of Adam singing. This song is magic in itself, but there's wizardry (think Gandalf, not Harry Potter) in the Home Free version.
This is one of my favorite Home Free songs. I find it almost haunting in its simplicity, and yet still be complex. Yes, more Home Free, please! How about one of the "funny" videos? You will get a good laugh and still be amazed at how much the guys can do! I suggest the Butts Medley! Please? It's SO much fun!! Peace and love from Kentucky
I’m always so impressed with your incredible musical ear & knowledge. I can count on 1 hand the reactors I’ll watch a 20 minute or longer HF reaction & you’re solidly @ the top of that short list. FYI - New egg yolk Patreon member today. Come join me there fellow Home Fries !!
My favorite, well tied to What we ain't got, but love this one! The only thing I would change is to make this ten minutes longer! Your insights are always thoughtful and helpful.
I agree that Home Free did an excellent job with their beautiful interpretation of this lovely song. I didn't know the original either and I really liked it :) I’m learning so many new interesting things with you, thanks Sir!
This is one of the my favorite covers from Home Free. I still get chills sometimes in certain parts. It’s a beautiful video and those harmonies, and the unison is excellent! Love your analysis and breakdown. It’s a phenomenal cover that was suggested by Chance to the group. This is right in his wheelhouse, but glad he suggested Home Free to do it as a group. I love when Home Free goes outside the box. I concur with another commentor above/below regarding the suggestion of Home Free’s cover of Dire Strait’s “Brothers In Arms”. I didn’t think they could surpass “Helplessly Hoping”, but they did with the CSN cover!
When I saw that you had reacted to this one, I was REALLY happy. I could hardly wait to hear what you had to say, because I can sit and listen to this song over, and over, and over, and over again in sheer delight. When you mentioned the overtones, I was utterly delighted, because I've not heard a SINGLE other reactor make mention of those wonderful, wonderful effects. I'm still shivering in little spurts, from having listened to this, and not just all the way through, but with all the lovely chords during your detailed explanation. The only other thing I will say, is: YES! (...and THANK YOU)
I’m so glad that you finally got to this one. I felt that it would be a good one to pick apart in comparison to the original. From the first time I heard it, I felt that there was a bit of magic happening. I’m certain that when they are looking for a high tenor, that he will be as in tune as Austin. That would show how successful they are as a unit. Thanks so much for this reaction and analysis. You’re amazing! ❤ Cyd
Brilliant - the song arrangement and the analysis! : ) It's so good and enjoyable (both even). HF makes ya wonder how. Who's doing what and when or who is moving together and/or separately, I gave up on. I remain amazed though! : ) These guys are very unique; they can be very distinct and so similar --- nearly anywhere! A blend that is very rare. --- I just stay blown away by these guys!!! LOL --- And I refuse to stop!!! : ) Be Safe
It was interesting when they did this. They have done a couple of folk songs from the same time period including Travelin' Soldier Crosby, Stiles, Nash and (sometimes) Young was a marvelous super group for harmony. Totally part of the history of folk music during its ascendancy in the 1960s-70s. They have one very amazing song that was written in an afternoon by Nash and recorded that same week "Ohio".
I was fascinated by Homefree a year or so ago, starting with Man of Constant sorrow because I liked the movie by same name.. Now I have discovered and been taken over by the Globally growing sites and sounds of Korean Kpop. On the chance you are anything like me (other than having a shaved head) check out BlackPink, G-Idle, XG, and BiBi
There is a recording of the band singing this live off-mic, which really shows up the vulnerability and the power of silences. As if to respond to those who doubt their ability, these wonderful men produce the same tightness and magical feel as this studio recording. The only slight difference is that Tim counts off the timing of the final chords with his fingers.
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score - at Wacken 2013. I am 72 and not a metal band listener at all, but this floored me (hee hee). Love it. Oh, they're symphonic metal.
How did I miss this? My older sister had the album, and this was my favorite song on it. Home Free does it justice, but the original will always be my favorite for nostalgic reasons. My sister and I used to love playing this song and finding a part to sing within it. ❤A/R🎼
CSN 1969 is one of those truly stunning albums, where every track counts (Ziggy Stardust is another). I’m 60, so it takes me back to that era. The opening notes of Wooden Ships does it to me every time. Hendrix famously referred to CSN as “Western Sky Music” - which, if you’ve been to the American West and experienced that incomparable blue sky in Santa Fe or Arizona or everywhere else with those open vistas, you know what he’s talking about. Helplessly Hoping is my fave by a hair over Wooden Ships. But I’d love to hear your take on Guinnevere. I was turned onto it by a prof in college. He and a friend couldn’t quite figure out the tuning of it (this back when you only had an LP and a turn-table). They caught a concert from CSN, and just before launching into Guinnevere Crosby tuned the guitar to the alternate tuning, plucked each string. The prof and his friend said they “got it!” - the key to the song being the alt tuning. Musicians can do that. I can’t. I’m a writer who loves music, but musicians can pick out tunings and notes and chords natively in a way I’m just jealous of.
Marvelously informative reaction as always. Have been anxiously awaiting your reaction to this, thank you so much. Like Home Free you never disappoint.
Lovely analysis! You should check out their cover of (Dire Straights) Brothers in Arms. So powerful! Also Austin singing solo covering Bring Him Home (from Les Misérables). It makes me cry every single time I hear it.
Check out this reaction next 🎶 th-cam.com/video/v9aYVNHvOj4/w-d-xo.html
Literally one of the best acapella groups to ever put voice to tape.
I love how they can strip everything down to practically nothing and still have us captivated. This arrangement is a true masterpiece, in my opinion.
Very nice arrangement indeed
I absolutely love this version and the respect for CSN's original. I love almost all of CSN's catalogue. Breathtaking. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
5 voices+close harmonies=shivers up the spine. Once again, great analysis.
What has always amazed me about this arrangement is that Chance and Rob have very distinct different voices. But when they join together their voices sound exactly the same.
Right?! It's jaw-droppingly good😊
My thoughts exactly
This was Chances idea and baby, and Tim arranged it accordingly
Oh! I have been waiting for this one! You are my favorite reactor for the easy to understand analysis, and I love watching your face! Priceless. Thank you!

Same - it's so unexpected, but makes so much sense once you've heard it.
This is beautiful!! One of my favorites of CSN. Didn't think anyone could do it justice. Your right Home Free was the only group who could do this justice.
👌
I love that you said “the Home Free sound”. It’s so true. It’s a unique blend of voices that is so pleasing to the ear.
Exactly 🎶 I couldn't think of another way to describe it
Tnis is immaculate. I love the assonance in the lyrics written by Stephen Stills. Thanks for the description with your great knowldege.
The precision of breathing in sync, the lockstep of going from unison, to harmony, back to unison, to harmony, the arrangement where several points the baseline hangs on to notes for extended time while the other parts are coming in stages is so incredible, it just like having the most exquisite high end sweets you can buy.

Yes indeed... One of my all time favorite Home Free covers! I love your expertise "reactions" and descriptions!
There just isn't much to say about this. So good harmonies, so well sung! So different voices, but still one. So short but o so powerful
I've always loved this song so much, especially the original because it immediately starts with the harmonies - gives me chills every time
I absolutely love this one. Just perfect, in my opinion. It's haunting.
Masterpiece ❤

Perfekt end of the day. ❤
Angelic group. Thanks to God.
I'm a big fan of CSN(Y). This version of Helplessly Hoping made me realize how much I enjoy the guitar part as well as the harmonies in the original.
This is also one of the songs they have performed "off mic" at concerts, along with How Great Thou Art, and Auld Lang Syne.
An amazing cover of an even better song. Pure ear candy.
I think Home Free killed this cover. Excellent reaction
El tema es tierno y dulce, simplemente hermoso. Gracias por otra master class y un abrazo de madre como siempre.
It was interesting when they did this. They have done a couple of folk songs from the same time period including Travelin' Soldier
Crosby, Stiles, Nash and (sometimes) Young was a marvelous super group for harmony. Totally part of the history of folk music during its ascendancy in the 1960s-70s. They have one very amazing song that was written in an afternoon by Nash and recorded that same week "Ohio".

Now I have discovered and been taken over by the Globally growing sites and sounds of Korean Kpop. On the chance you are anything like me (other than having a shaved head) check out BlackPink, G-Idle, XG, and BiBi

CSN were my favorites in high school in 1971! Their harmonies are incredible!
Your little smirks give us a hint of what you're thinking. 😊

As if to respond to those who doubt their ability, these wonderful men produce the same tightness and magical feel as this studio recording. The only slight difference is that Tim counts off the timing of the final chords with his fingers.
One of my favorites of theirs❤
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score - at Wacken 2013. I am 72 and not a metal band listener at all, but this floored me (hee hee). Love it. Oh, they're symphonic metal.
Flawless
How did I miss this?
My older sister had the album, and this was my favorite song on it.
Home Free does it justice, but the original will always be my favorite for nostalgic reasons. My sister and I used to love playing this song and finding a part to sing within it.

CSN 1969 is one of those truly stunning albums, where every track counts (Ziggy Stardust is another). I’m 60, so it takes me back to that era. The opening notes of Wooden Ships does it to me every time.
Hendrix famously referred to CSN as “Western Sky Music” - which, if you’ve been to the American West and experienced that incomparable blue sky in Santa Fe or Arizona or everywhere else with those open vistas, you know what he’s talking about.
Helplessly Hoping is my fave by a hair over Wooden Ships. But I’d love to hear your take on Guinnevere. I was turned onto it by a prof in college. He and a friend couldn’t quite figure out the tuning of it (this back when you only had an LP and a turn-table). They caught a concert from CSN, and just before launching into Guinnevere Crosby tuned the guitar to the alternate tuning, plucked each string. The prof and his friend said they “got it!” - the key to the song being the alt tuning. Musicians can do that. I can’t. I’m a writer who loves music, but musicians can pick out tunings and notes and chords natively in a way I’m just jealous of.
EAR-GASMS!! xx
Marvelously informative reaction as always. Have been anxiously awaiting your reaction to this, thank you so much. Like Home Free you never disappoint.
I understand that this was chances baby, totally heavenly
Chance's suggestion, Chance's direction of the video (superb) and Tim's arrangement I believe?
I learn so much from your reactions. Thank you 😊
Beautiful!
I'm so glad you finally got to this treasure.
Lovely analysis! You should check out their cover of (Dire Straights) Brothers in Arms. So powerful! Also Austin singing solo covering Bring Him Home (from Les Misérables). It makes me cry every single time I hear it.
Love this cover by Home Fee!
Absolutely love this song. 💗💗💗
Beautiful 🥰🥰
