I love this arrangement's use of silence/quiet. So many arrangements try to cram sound into every nook and cranny of the song, but the silences here just pull you in.
Completely agree. I was going to make the same point, that he uses rubato almost to breaking point, to let the notes hang in the air and as you say, for the silences to pull you in. It also gives an almost conversational feel to his singing sometimes, which increases the intimacy of the performance.
The first time I heard this song, I was a little girl back in the 1950s and it was sung by Dennis Day. Since then, I have heard Celtic Woman sing it (they did a good job), and, now, Austin. WOW! He did such a beautiful version, and his voice was spellbinding! Thank you for such a great reaction!
This song was made for the format Austin chose for the channel: one voice combined with one or two instruments creates such an elegantly simple arrangement. It seems that he is really hitting his stride with his solo channel.
We could talk for hours about Austin and his remarkable ability to infuse any song with soul and emotion. I find him truly unique for this very reason. I've never come across another singer who does that. So let's talk about Sebastien, just WOW! Like you said, he's starting you in from the first few gentle and emotional strikes on the keys and he supports Austin's voice as well as the song itself so perfectly throughout the song. Stunning, so stunning! And yes, he's got such a sweet and adorable smile! I completely agree! Thanks for another great reaction! 🥰🙏
I agree, we could talk for hours and hours😅 But I really do enjoy all the amazing artists that performs with him. They are so talented and invested when they perform😲😁🤗
Austin sang this song so good. Happy he decided to do some music on his own with Sebastian. He questioned Tim about doing this kind of work and Tim told him to go for it. He sure as heck did. Thanks for another great reaction.
The thing is, I would have preferred a longer version. I hate to be left wanting more all the time. Thanks for another reaction to my fave, Lieben. Cheer!
That is so kind of you to say thank you so much🥰 I would also have loved the full version! I had to go listen to other versions just to get the song out of my head😅🤣
I really think that he has an amazing voice for these older songs. I just wish he would have sung the entire song. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction, thank you.
Beautiful reaction! I don't think you're biased. Austin & the entire Home Free gang are just so great all the time that it's difficult to be anything other than amazed! So if that's "bias", then count me in!
@@EchoesOfEmotionReact I'm hooked too! I love a lot of artists, but I can listen to Home Free's songs over & over & never get tired of them. I no longer listen to any of the other a cappella groups because I feel like I'm "cheating" on my guys! 😉 I do have a request for my favorite singer of all time & that's John Farnham. Like you, he's as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside! His song "You're the Voice" is the alternate Aussie national anthem: th-cam.com/video/IGwg8Y8xtuM/w-d-xo.html (he was 67 here & his voice was as powerful as it was when he was a teen idol in 1965) OR his incredible rendition of the Beatles' "Help" (They're both amazing!) th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html I'd LOVE to see Home Free do a collaboration with him like they did Don McLean. THAT would be my fantasy! 🤩 Austin mentioned it when "Patrol Gaming" interviewed Austin a few months ago. I'm sure Adam Rupp could easily be a bagpipe! 😁
To be honest I have never heard of him before😲 I would love to do a new artist! I will definitely have a look! And thank you for the kind words, it really means so much to me🥰🤗
@@EchoesOfEmotionReact First of all, you're very welcome! I simply "call like I see it"! As for John Farnham (pronounced "Far'num"), I know you love great music & he's at the very top of the "food chain"! It's sad that his talent wasn't shared with the world until recently, thanks to youtube & also reaction videos. Like Home Free, everything John does is perfection! He was on his way to being an international star but left his tour to go back to Australia to be with his wife & kids so that makes me admire him even more. He & his wife, Jillian, have been married 48 years. He turned 72 on July 1st & is still a powerful singer known as "The Voice" & a kind, funny, beautiful man! He & Jimmy Barnes ("Farnsy & Barnsy" - 2 of Australia's most prized artists) did a duet of "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" & is THE most powerful blues performance I've EVER seen & it will knock your socks off so I do hope you'll react to his music (between Home Free reactions, of course🤭)! I know your viewers will be amazed too! Thank you!!! th-cam.com/video/9H0aHyjzWsQ/w-d-xo.html
It is sad to see how many truly great artists are not even known and most of mainstream media stars are truly not that impressive😅 Thank you for introducing him to me😁🤗
“Danny Boy” is one of those rare songs that in instrumental or full Lyric performance grabs at your heart strings. You got the magic right. Combine Austin’s ability to use his phrasing of the lyrics to fill his performances with aching sadness or exuberant joy, this song was made for him. It is one of my favorite songs of all time, but with each performance it seems to speak to you on different level depending on how each artists interpret the lyrics on a very personal level. There have been many theories as to the meaning of the lyrics. The truth may be that the meaning is what we bring to the table. If it speaks to your heart then what you think of, is what it is meant to mean.
@@EchoesOfEmotionReact I did a research paper on this song in collage because it was a staple in my family. From my Grandee to the current generations, the unique ways it affects individuals has been like a microcosmic view of what each decade was challenged with. A real classic.
This song is so iconic. I've sung this at every St Patrick's Day celebration I've ever been too. It's so beautiful and Austin just elevated it up another notch
Austin’s rendition is absolutely stunning!! I do love when he goes into his lower register as much as his higher range! He has a little different tone (to my ears, anyway) in his lower range. I enjoyed your reaction and your commentary!
As much as I love when Austin lets go with his amazing high range, I also adore it when he shows off his lower register chest voice like in a song like this. He just needs to pick a longer song next time!
This is just so beautiful and when Austin brings out his emotional crying voice....it really tugs at the heart! When the music started...I could see j u still much you were enjoying it already! Thanks for this one!
I love watching the contentment on you face when you listen to music! You might want to check out Peter Hollins singing Danny Boy. It is beautiful as well!
As you say, Austin has been getting better and better. In fact over the last year there has been (to my ear, anyway) a qualitative difference in his voice. Some tenors just develop their full voice late (he's about 35), maybe during quarantine, away from the fatigue of touring he's been able to rest the voice and work on technique, or maybe all those workouts - a running joke in Home Free because he stayed as skinny as ever - have finally developed more physical 'heft' to support a fuller tone and more vibrato. Whatever, Sebastien and Steven Martinez have been perfect musical partners. You must listen to Austin's latest, "Bring him Home" from Les Mis, which I'm sure you would enjoy. And there are some of his own compositions, produced by Steven Martinez - The Rest of my Life and If I met You Now.
I love Austin's lower register so much. Yes his high notes are impressive and beautiful but on the lower end he sounds just great! When you talked about Sebastian and the community with Austin and the others it made me think of something Tim said somewhere: The community among musicians in Nashville is about "What can we do for each other" instead of "What can you do for me" as it is in other places. I think that mindset is what we profit from here and what we can feel in the music.
This was gorgeous so beautifully done it brings tears to my eyes Austin is such an amazing singer he sings from the heart I to had goosebumps and chills after hearing this Sebastian is the man a master on the keyboard loved it ❤
My Irish parents brought me up on this song. words slightly different. I love Austin Brown. Beautiful voice. But Oh Austin I am on the edge of my seat. Where's the second verse? The words of the second verse are so beautiful. Can anyone tell is there a longer version please. I love Austin. Thanks for your great comments.
Only one verse? But this feels more like a work in progress than a finished product for any number of reasons. I can't help but wonder if Austin is feeling pressure to honor his commitment to "family" members to give them two new videos a month.
Perfect for Austin's voice. Absolutely beautiful.♥️
I love this arrangement's use of silence/quiet. So many arrangements try to cram sound into every nook and cranny of the song, but the silences here just pull you in.
That is actually a very valid point! Well spotted I didnt think of that😅😁🤗

I recently heard Dennis Day and I do like that one as well😁 I really love how Austin did this song. Perhaps we can twist his arm for a full song😅😁
Austin has such a warm, smooth, velvety voice and Sebastian is just great with his piano playing. Thanks for the reaction.
He definitely does! It is absolutely amazing to listen to😁🤗👏🏼
This song was made for the format Austin chose for the channel: one voice combined with one or two instruments creates such an elegantly simple arrangement. It seems that he is really hitting his stride with his solo channel.
That is actually such a clever observation😲 It fits perfectly😁🤗
Beautiful version of this song! I wish he'd done the whole song!
That would have been perfect! Perhaps one day he will😁🤗
Austin is freaking amazing no matter what he does!!!❤
That is so true! He really can sing anything😁🤗
I love this more each time I hear it! He sings this so beautifully! Thanks for a great reaction!
He definitely did an amazing job with this one! I love the way he makes the song his own😁🤗

@@EchoesOfEmotionReact Exactly! He attracts them like flies! 😁
So beautiful. I loved Austin singing and Sebastien’s piano playing was superb. Yes, love his lower notes too. Great reaction Lieben.
I think they made a perfect combo in this one! I would love to hear the full song😁🤗
This version of Danny Boy, with Austin, 👏 wow. So many tears. I don't usually react so strongly. I'm not Irish, except for today.
He truly did such an amazing job and put so much emotion into this song😲😁🤗
Austin sang this song so good. Happy he decided to do some music on his own with Sebastian. He questioned Tim about doing this kind of work and Tim told him to go for it. He sure as heck did. Thanks for another great reaction.
I am so happy they decided to do solo work! It is so amazing to see him do his thing😲😁

He definitely does! It is so amazing to see how he revives so mamy songs with his beautiful voice😁🤗
Austin’s interpretation of the song is so touchingly beautiful. Loved it and your reaction. Thank you 🤗
I agree! It was so beautiful and sincere😲 He continues to amaze me every time😁🤗
Austin's voice is so soothing. That song was way too short for me. I needed to hear more.
I would love to hear the full version as well😍😁
I totally agree!! It was awesome and left me wanting a few more verses 😊
Beautiful reaction! I don't think you're biased. Austin & the entire Home Free gang are just so great all the time that it's difficult to be anything other than amazed! So if that's "bias", then count me in!
I am hooked on all their stuff so it is almost always going to be amazing😅🤣

Ah Kevin! You sing? That is amazing, I wish I could😅🤣
@@EchoesOfEmotionReact only in the company of others and with some adult beverage courage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything is better then🤣😅
Austin’s rendition is absolutely stunning!! I do love when he goes into his lower register as much as his higher range! He has a little different tone (to my ears, anyway) in his lower range. I enjoyed your reaction and your commentary!
He definitely does and we don't hear it that often. It was quite fun to experience it again😁🤗

Oh yes he definitely did bring it to life! I immediatly got goosebumps😲😁🤗
I wish that he had gone for that high tenor note, but man, just beautiful!
Oh yes! But then there might have been tears😅😁
I love watching the contentment on you face when you listen to music! You might want to check out Peter Hollins singing Danny Boy. It is beautiful as well!

He definitely has the perfect voice for it😁🤗
I've heard it sung in many movies over the last 30 or more years.
I only realised after hearinh it again how often it was played on tv😅😁

It really is👏🏼😁🤗
Loved this and your reaction.
Thank you so much Cheryl🥰🤗
Elvis did a magical version of "Danny Boy" but Austin's is beautiful !!
I have to go check that out thank you😅😁🤗
You have to react to his cover of Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunne, you will be amazed as well. That’s guitar, piano and Austin.
That is definitely one I want to do soon! Thank you for the suggestion😁🤗

I was also wondering that🤔 But the verse we got was truly beautiful though😲😁
Really, no one in the “family” ever wants Austin to feel pressure to deliver anything but his best and that’s what he does. Over and over again.
I do agree! Everything so far has been amazing😲😁
Beautiful but way too short!!
I would love to see the full song by him😲😁🤗
I agree I would have loved to hear the whole song but then sometimes I think they do it to keep us on the edge of our seats and wanting for more
This is beautiful but if you want to hear another version listen to John McDermott.
