DramaSyd - I really appreciate and value your comments: you know what you're talking about and you express yourself extremely well. You are definitely one of my favorite music video reactors, especially when it comes to Home Free! As for 'going too deep' - no, not at all. I'm watching this while the Pandemic is gripping the country and the world. I believe what you said: "music transcends and gives us hope for a future when we don't see any way to a future." Thank you.
This video was my first contact with Home Free. I was so impressed with Austins voice, that I started checking out more of their stuff and was Home Fry within a few days!
I've listened to Home Free since The Sing Off. I may not like every one of their songs but I appreciate every song as they sing so beautifully. Music, literature, and the arts are so important to humanity. What are humans but the melodies, stories, and images we leave behind? Home Free bill themselves as country a cappella but they transcend that label in so many ways. My dad who hates country music loves Home Free. Why? They appeal to his soul, his humanity, the part of him that loves. I learned my love of music and literature from my parents, and specifically music from my dad. I'm so impressed with your reactions and the way you go deep. I appreciate your comments and especially how you allow us to see your emotions and allow the music to transport you. It's a beautiful thing to behold.
Finally got to see Home Free live in Spartanburg SC tonight. This is one of the songs they sang. Home Free is awesome and to hear Tim sing bass in person, all I can say is 😯 wow freakin amazing.. The concert was off the charts!!
Lynn Fulgaro I was there Lynn!! It was a truly phenomenal show!! Did you stay afterwards for the autograph session?! This is one of my absolute favorite Christmas songs! Seeing/hearing them perform this live was phenomenal! 😍
I have seen them twice,once in NH where I live,and again this nov. in Maine,which is right next door to Nh.there concerts are amazing.and your right about the bass.you can feel it inside your body
I am a home free fan I heard about them several years ago so I started to listen to them I got all their cd Last year when they were in my home town for a show My husband said that he would get me tickets They would be there in the middle of March I was so happy I had seen you tube show of them So I was getting excited Well March 20 came around and My husband passed away I was devastated I really did not care about a show or anything else But after a while I started to listen to their music and coloring ( I am 60 years old ) That was and is my therapy of getting thru long days without my husband It is 2 months shy of a year now I am still listen to their music So thank you for your reaction of their music When they do come back to town My daughter said she will take me to see them So I am a Home Fries Love all your comments Keep it up Love the honest Thank you God Bless
Love how introspective you get after some of the home free music. 💜 thanks for sharing the love and hope. 💜 encouragement and hope comes when we're seeing the light through the darkest shadows. Everyone- keep those eyes open and realize sometimes you are the moment of light others see
I really like your thoughtful reactions. You make us think, so don't apologize when you go "deep." It's good. For a variety of reasons, Christmas no longer holds much joy for me, and I get very tired hearing all the carols everywhere this time of year, but this is really beautiful. I still like to sing Deck The Halls, though. The words are so totally pagan. Of course, I still love hearing Angelina singing Mary's Boy Child, and just recently discovered a little gem from my favorite band, Queen, Thank God It's Christmas. Would you be willing to react to it? I think you would like it.
so glad you did this. Love the way they do this. Thanks for sharing. When music can make you feel things, its amazing. Find that shimmer of hope and light. Its in all our hearts, we just have to find it. God Bless
I love the bell tones they put in this one. The one at the end is a Home Free original called Full of Cheer and I smile and giggle every time I watch it. It's worth watching when you get to it. They joy of music should always be there for a person. 'nough said. Thank you! ^_^
Really enjoy your honest and genuine reviews of this awesome group. If you ever get the chance to see them in concert you will not be disappointed. I've seen them 4 times and hope to go again soon in the near future. I look forward to seeing your reviews of Home Free. Keep up the great work my friend.
The power of music is in how it makes you feel. I am drawn to music that soothes my soul and this song does just that. I enjoy your reactions because they are heartfelt. Keep them coming!
I'm not Christian and my holiday celebrations reflect that. There are songs for the season that when song well make that not matter. This is of them. There aren't many singers with the range to sing it in it's original key, but when they can it's amazing.
I have such a rough time at Christmas. My Mom was a Christmas fanatic, and it just seems so bleak without her. The music of Christmas is what keeps me going. I am a huge fan of Pentatonix, Home Free, Peter Hollens, Josh Groban, Jonathan Antoine, all of the blessedly talented artists who bring me to the truth -- the worship, joy, and reverence that the Season brings to me, each singer is like an ornament on a huge Christmas tree, each glittering and leading me. Music makes all the difference to me! Thanks for your wonderful reactions. Many blessings to you and your family.
They do bring a lot of peace to people. :) There aren't too many artists that I've felt this kind of connection with. I know some of it is because they love music like I do, which makes them officially understand me better than almost anyone I've ever known ( including a lot of family ) , but I also think they're just a very welcoming group. Not a bunch of ego or agenda, just loving music and having fun, which definitely makes everything more bearable for me.
This has long been an outstanding favorite by them. ❤🔥❤ I could see that you were touched by their angelic tones mixed with the lyrics from the song. 🥰 If the talent is extraordinary I don't feel it matters what your religion is or what your preconceptions or past trauma/experiences...the entire piece becomes something else entirely. 💯 You did not go too deep darlin, you spoke your truth in that moment and that candid and genuine take on things is one of the reasons I look forward to your reactions. 🥰
I'm glad this song, and Home Free as a group, are able to help you feel better about Christmas. This is one of the first videos I watched and one of my favorites over the years. I have heard this live, and it's even better.
You said something in this reaction that I've been saying for a long time, that I think many others haven't understood. For me, music has been so central to my life, that I've always felt that it's been my main purpose for living. It doesn't transcend my love for the Lord Jesus Christ...that's not what I mean. However, without music in my life, I don't think I'd have made it through some pretty hard places (both before and after I became a Christian). Until two years ago, for about 15 years, though I had sung all my life previously (it's all I ever wanted to do WITH my life), and I had also played several instruments since Jr. High age, I had become so bent over and crippled up in several ways by rheumatoid arthritis, that I no longer had a singing voice much, at all--literally just croaks and squeaks when I tried...bringing me to tears occasionally. I was bent so far forward because of my hips, that there was really no diaphragm strength at all. To me, the loss of my singing voice felt like a kind of death. I did NOT give up on life, but there was a dearth there, that I had never felt before--even before I became a Christian. One of the things I COULD still do, for some reason, was whistle, so that kept me going. I've always loved whistling, and still do. People have told me that I obviously was raised around a violinist, if I wasn't one myself, because that's what my whistling sounds like. They were right. I was...my mom...a SUPER violinist from the time she was five years old, until she could no longer play, at age 85. Thankfully, two years ago, I ended up having both hips replaced. My right one broke itself, finally, from the stress it had been under for many years. Three months later, the surgeon who did the emergent replacement of that hip, replaced the other one with the hardware he made sure to order ahead of time, because he knew from the X-rays that it was going to be necessary and he wanted for me not to have to go through another three days of screaming pain like I went through with the first one before they could do the surgery. Now I can walk again (not entirely upright, but nearly), and do things I hadn't been able to do for a long, long time--including having my own small raised-bed vegie garden for the past two summers. More importantly to my very being, however, is that I can sing again! Plus I can sit at a piano to play. My voice is still working on coming back, but it IS, and for that I'm so very, very thankful! Just being able to sing along with music I listen to is such a blessing to me, that I haven't been able to explain it to much of anyone. However, I think you understand, from what you said. It's just...me...inside...you know? Anyway...thank you for another great, thoughtful and well-presented reaction. HUGS!
Michael (AKA Drama), I completely feel you on your closing remarks. I'm still not a fan of Xmas music or Xmas, but Home Free gives me/us something that I can appreciate and that's great. I'd love to sit and have a chat with you. Our backgrounds are clearly different, but our viewpoints are so similar. I mean watching you react to certain songs is fun, but hearing what you have to say, either about the song or what it sparks in you, is the main reason I'm here. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Christmas is about hope even in the midst of darkness. It’s about finding peace amongst the rubble of life and it’s about receiving the gift of love from the One who loves unconditionally. Thanks for your reaction and willingness to share. God bless!
My most favorite Christmas song sung by my most favorite singers. Every time I hear their version, i literally get chills. I love your appreciation for their talent.
Incredible isn't it -- Austin oh Austin -- one of my favorite singers but the entire group makes it so special. Tim arranged that when he was about 18 years old! He was thrilled when he met Austin to really give it those high, high notes! Thanks as always.
I hear and know what you are saying. Even as a child I was always sad at Christmas I never enjoyed it, cried all the time. As I got older it never got any better. I was always thinking of those ones in homes, loved ones that put them aside to be forgotten. I thought of the homeless with no home, hope and an empty belly. It is still like that for me, So I hear you, I hear it in your tone. Great review once again !! Thank you so much !!
You have brought me to tears! This was my mom's fav Christmas song & to hear you say that this version may have given you hope & a glimmer of making new memories has brought me to tears! Like you said, music is transcending. Thank you so much for those words
You mentioned your views on Christmas in earlier videos and I understand them. Still, I appreciate your giving these guys a chance and listening to their Christmas songs. They always make me feel better, happier and more peaceful when I listen to them. Peaceful and joy to you, brother.
You tell it like it is and how the music effects you. Don't change a thing. This group has talent beyond belief. I appreciate your reactions and it shows that you really enjoy music. Keep doing your thing and I will keep enjoying the music and your reactions to it. Until next time, take care & stay safe.
My brother, you made my heart and lips smile with your commentary. Christmas has been so hard for me after I lost my Mom at a very young age but bc of Christmas and what transpired 33 years after the birth of Jesus which made a way for us to spend eternity in Heaven if we choose to, makes all my trials seem so small. HF certainly knows how to bring Heaven to us through their phenomenal singing.
Home Free can always touch your heart with their music. I'm so happy that their music is touching you! They have that effect on people. Somehow they've done that with so many of us, you are seeing what it truly is to be a Home Fry. It goes beyond just hearing the songs.
Home Free is a stellar A Capella group! Those tight harmonies lends itself so well to Christmas music! Would love to see you react to their newly-released Christmas video and collaboration with Rachel Wammack of Amy Grant’s “Tennessee Christmas”. It was just released on TH-cam yesterday. If I have already requested it, please forgive me. It wasn’t intentional. I enjoyed your reaction to “O, Holy Night”! I watched your facial expressions and could see you enjoyed it, and I’m glad. Thank you, fellow Home Fry!
Clearly what you said came from your heart and your audience feels your truth. That is the power of this channel. It resonates within all of us who watch you. Thank you
The way that they do songs can change people. This is one of the groups i listen to to improve any situation i am in and I'm glad that they have touched you in the way they have. Music does transcend space and time. They did amazing grace with Peter Hollins and it could possibly be one of the best peices of music i have ever heard. You should check it out.
Ohh boy, do I have some songs! Bridge Over Troubled Water - It's a duet with Peter Hollins and Tim, really shows off his upper register Go Rest High on That Mountain/Amazing Grace - Home free does an absolutely wonderful job, one of their best imo. I know you just listened to a rendition of O' Holy Night, but there is also one by this dude David Phelps. It's an astounding performance, plus it's live so you know he can actually sing.
Christmas selections.. "Full of Cheer" (for fun), "I'll Be Home For Christmas", "Angels We Have Heard On HIgh" and then Auld Lang Syne (closer to New Year's eve)
Drama, the four pillars are Love, Faith, Trust, and Hope. There is power in all of them but infinite power in Hope. Hope can open people to Love, Faith, and Trust when they're closed to it. Hope can let you take a chance and only by doing that, by taking chances with our hearts can we go beyond the pain, beyond the history that weighs down who we truly are. You inspire others with your sharing. You're infectious grin, the WTF looks, your expertise but mostly you just being you. I hope you find the Hope to give Christmas for what it truly is another try. To me Christmas is family and friends. Family isn't just those you had the accident of being born related to, Family isn't biology. Family is those you Love, have Faith in, Trust, and Hope for nothing but the best for and who truly feel that way about you. All the best.
Please do not stop being you for anybody or anything. I love to hear your thoughts after the videos. I agree with you on music being life as it stopped me from committing suicide during some very dark times. Music was the only thing that could get inside that dark fog that surrounded me so I was able to glimpse a sliver of light. I eventually saw the sun and was on the road back. Let your past remind you of where you were but don't let it determine where you can go. A great saying I try to live by now is don't be looking back so much that you can't see what is in front of you.
This is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Christmas songs...and they STRAIGHT UP SANG it!! Great reaction and the comments were so on point...blessings my friend!! Whenever y'all get a minute could y'all please react to Avi Kaplan "Change on the Rise"??? I would greatly appreciate it...thank y'all. 👏💙👏💙
Thanks for this reaction. Please go deep whenever you need to. That makes you you. Unique. This was the first song I heard from HF pretty exactly four years ago. I was instantly hooked. Their music has made my life so much brighter. Looking forward to more HF reactions!
I watch you because you put your heart into the work you do and it shows in your honest reactions. Thank you. Now, as a request, if you haven’t already, react to Jinjer Pisces live session. I would really like to hear what you have to say about it. The lead, Tatiana has an amazing range and is self taught. They have become a favorite of the old rocker.
Home Free has a way of soothing my soul, helping me heal enough to move on, when I had given up all hope. I've seen so many other people state that same fact over the years. This group stays true to the classic songs and religious songs, when some groups try to jazz it up with a bunch of vocal gymnastic's. In the end, you're not quite sure what you've just heard, because it sounds nothing like the original. I love your reactions. I don't know what you've experienced in the past, but hoping Home Free will soothe you heart and soul like it did for me. God Bless.
I am quoting from a person that post on another Home Free video so I take no credit but I whole heartedly agree, Home Free's music is like wrapping your hands around a mug of hot chocolate!
No, not too deep.I really appreciate the traditional approach they took with most of the classic Christmas hymns. It is an amazing gift when the power of beautiful, heartfelt music can begin to let light seep into the small cracks in our armor. I've been there. May God bless your path.
Hi DS, It's me again.4 months later you brought tears to my eyes again! I hope you have created some new memories, happy ones and put away the demons and replaced them with joy. God bless you and keep on keeping on. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks for the raw reality of your words. There are many of us that have dark events and memories associated with the holiday season. Thanks for reminding those that suffer there can still be hope for some healing. Continue to keep your comments true to you. You are valued. Thanks again. subscribing because you're being real.
I love and appreciate your honesty and appreciation for great music. I myself had my share of not fond holiday memories, yet always loved the Christmas Gospel sound of some holiday songs. Now for something way out of the box, I would love to hear someone react to Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" no lyrics yet haunting beautiful vocals
I really do love your reactions! In my mind, there is no 'bad' music. There may be some I don't care for, but that doesn't make it bad. Music fills & touches all our senses in different ways. There's nothing more powerful. I would love for you to check out their version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas". They do a gorgeous & simple version leaving the video tell the story & it's very special. By contrast, I'd also love if you did their version of "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers. It's a very jazzy & foot-stompin' good time! It will definitely put you in a good mood! Thx!
Thank you for your insightful words. Christmas is a difficult time for me and music helps me get through it as well. After my husband and mother passed within a short years time, Christmas has been a very difficult time of year for me. Thank you for saying what my heart cries out but my words fail me.
Amen I love that your reaction was from the heart it does not matter what the darkness was in the past you are a shining light for music now so create new memories and shine brother shine. { and no this is not a piss-take }
It’s your channel - you do you. I enjoy listening to your reactions because you ARE so honest about not just the music you heard but how it ties in with your own life.
This is the one that got me started with Home Free........ although I'd heard this song so so many times before; and a beautiful song it is ----- but as with most, it'd become "ho-hum". Back when vids were auto-start on FB as ya scrolled past -- I'd decided to let it play; it didn't sound so bad. Well, as I scrolled - I started to notice....... it was a deeper voice singing higher ... and it was good!!! But when Time hit those higher notes so clean (and damn good) --- it made me notice and scroll back up, having to listen again. The research started and have been locked in ever since! :) ... And LIVE -- Even better. Home Free changes music my friend --- all and always for the better. They have this thing ... changing the feeling --- or creating a deeper feeling. Rare --- and Amazing!
me too Rod- I was looking for a version of Oh Holy Night to put on Face Book a couple of years back and saw it in the search results-the good looking guys in the thumbnail caught my attention I won't lie but as soon as I heard them I was hooked! maybe I should say cooked because I am now a Home Fry
At 3:45 watching your reaction, I'm thinking "I know what you're wanting Syd, just wait for it, waiiiiiiiiit for it." Then 4:13 happens and your face says "THERE IT IS!" Same reaction I had.
Spectacular! Then again I haven't found something they've done that hasn't been. If you're getting into the Christmas mode you should check out "You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch by Small Town Titans. 😜

Austin has the voice of an angel.
I was in a very dark place and their music brought me back from the edge.
FINALLY!!! ❤️❤️❤️ love your face when Austin did the octave jump into that sexy ass run lol. Stank face is inevitable with this one. 🤤❤️
This video was my first contact with Home Free. I was so impressed with Austins voice, that I started checking out more of their stuff and was Home Fry within a few days!
Austin’s voice sends me to another planet😩♥️
Going deep is exactly why I love your reactions.
Thank you, I appreciate that!!!!!

Loved your reaction. Never too deep. I know the guys would be thrilled you were so effected by their music.❤️

I love Tim's voice in this so much.
Brenda Guthrie I like Tim but Austin blew everyone away in this like omg 😍😍 his last falsetto note, eargasm ❤️

DramaSydE: That's what I had to do. Now Christmas, for me, is expressed through music. I have joy.
I am not an emotional person but you brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and Home Free.

You have brought me to tears! This was my mom's fav Christmas song & to hear you say that this version may have given you hope & a glimmer of making new memories has brought me to tears! Like you said, music is transcending. Thank you so much for those words
It's one of their best & I will be playing this every Chrstmastime from now on. Love your message at the end :)
You mentioned your views on Christmas in earlier videos and I understand them. Still, I appreciate your giving these guys a chance and listening to their Christmas songs. They always make me feel better, happier and more peaceful when I listen to them. Peaceful and joy to you, brother.
You tell it like it is and how the music effects you. Don't change a thing. This group has talent beyond belief. I appreciate your reactions and it shows that you really enjoy music. Keep doing your thing and I will keep enjoying the music and your reactions to it. Until next time, take care & stay safe.
I could listen to them sing this every single day.
I ain't even waiting.... I know you'll love it!!
My brother, you made my heart and lips smile with your commentary. Christmas has been so hard for me after I lost my Mom at a very young age but bc of Christmas and what transpired 33 years after the birth of Jesus which made a way for us to spend eternity in Heaven if we choose to, makes all my trials seem so small. HF certainly knows how to bring Heaven to us through their phenomenal singing.
Home Free can always touch your heart with their music. I'm so happy that their music is touching you! They have that effect on people. Somehow they've done that with so many of us, you are seeing what it truly is to be a Home Fry. It goes beyond just hearing the songs.
Home Free is a stellar A Capella group! Those tight harmonies lends itself so well to Christmas music! Would love to see you react to their newly-released Christmas video and collaboration with Rachel Wammack of Amy Grant’s “Tennessee Christmas”. It was just released on TH-cam yesterday. If I have already requested it, please forgive me. It wasn’t intentional. I enjoyed your reaction to “O, Holy Night”! I watched your facial expressions and could see you enjoyed it, and I’m glad. Thank you, fellow Home Fry!
Clearly what you said came from your heart and your audience feels your truth. That is the power of this channel. It resonates within all of us who watch you. Thank you
The way that they do songs can change people. This is one of the groups i listen to to improve any situation i am in and I'm glad that they have touched you in the way they have. Music does transcend space and time. They did amazing grace with Peter Hollins and it could possibly be one of the best peices of music i have ever heard. You should check it out.
*HUGS* May you always be surrounded be beautiful music and talented people. Thank you for sharing
Ohh boy, do I have some songs!
Bridge Over Troubled Water - It's a duet with Peter Hollins and Tim, really shows off his upper register
Go Rest High on That Mountain/Amazing Grace - Home free does an absolutely wonderful job, one of their best imo.
I know you just listened to a rendition of O' Holy Night, but there is also one by this dude David Phelps. It's an astounding performance, plus it's live so you know he can actually sing.
Christmas selections.. "Full of Cheer" (for fun), "I'll Be Home For Christmas", "Angels We Have Heard On HIgh" and then Auld Lang Syne (closer to New Year's eve)
White Christmas and Colder Weather too.
Drama, the four pillars are Love, Faith, Trust, and Hope. There is power in all of them but infinite power in Hope. Hope can open people to Love, Faith, and Trust when they're closed to it. Hope can let you take a chance and only by doing that, by taking chances with our hearts can we go beyond the pain, beyond the history that weighs down who we truly are. You inspire others with your sharing. You're infectious grin, the WTF looks, your expertise but mostly you just being you. I hope you find the Hope to give Christmas for what it truly is another try. To me Christmas is family and friends. Family isn't just those you had the accident of being born related to, Family isn't biology. Family is those you Love, have Faith in, Trust, and Hope for nothing but the best for and who truly feel that way about you. All the best.
His bass and barytone is soooo clean and crisp... love it
I think my favorite Christmas song Home Free does. Thank you. You have truly become my favorite reactor.
I see yet, some amount of light, in you...the truth is still there, in your heart..and you know it, and so do i...
Please do not stop being you for anybody or anything. I love to hear your thoughts after the videos. I agree with you on music being life as it stopped me from committing suicide during some very dark times. Music was the only thing that could get inside that dark fog that surrounded me so I was able to glimpse a sliver of light. I eventually saw the sun and was on the road back. Let your past remind you of where you were but don't let it determine where you can go. A great saying I try to live by now is don't be looking back so much that you can't see what is in front of you.
Music touches everyone! It becomes the background in life! Great reaction to this old Hymn!!
Amen Brother! You do you, we like it!
This is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Christmas songs...and they STRAIGHT UP SANG it!! Great reaction and the comments were so on point...blessings my friend!! Whenever y'all get a minute could y'all please react to Avi Kaplan "Change on the Rise"??? I would greatly appreciate it...thank y'all. 👏💙👏💙
kudos to you for the respect you pay the artists for their efforts.
An excellent, excellent, excellent Christmas song by Home Free is Do You Hear What I Hear?
I've done this one, thanks for watching
Thanks for this reaction. Please go deep whenever you need to. That makes you you. Unique.
This was the first song I heard from HF pretty exactly four years ago. I was instantly hooked. Their music has made my life so much brighter.
Looking forward to more HF reactions!
I watch you because you put your heart into the work you do and it shows in your honest reactions. Thank you.
Now, as a request, if you haven’t already, react to Jinjer Pisces live session. I would really like to hear what you have to say about it. The lead, Tatiana has an amazing range and is self taught. They have become a favorite of the old rocker.
You are loved. I appreciate the span of the music styles you react to. I may not like all of it, but can appreciate talent in all forms.
Austin can really get up there. just like an angel.
Stunningly beautiful!!
Home Free has a way of soothing my soul, helping me heal enough to move on, when I had given up all hope. I've seen so many other people state that same fact over the years. This group stays true to the classic songs and religious songs, when some groups try to jazz it up with a bunch of vocal gymnastic's. In the end, you're not quite sure what you've just heard, because it sounds nothing like the original. I love your reactions. I don't know what you've experienced in the past, but hoping Home Free will soothe you heart and soul like it did for me. God Bless.
I am quoting from a person that post on another Home Free video so I take no credit but I whole heartedly agree, Home Free's music is like wrapping your hands around a mug of hot chocolate!
Thank you for your insightful and moving words at the end of this reaction! You are always the best.
So Sublime. I love their version.
Beautiful words from you brought tears to me.
No, not too deep.I really appreciate the traditional approach they took with most of the classic Christmas hymns. It is an amazing gift when the power of beautiful, heartfelt music can begin to let light seep into the small cracks in our armor. I've been there. May God bless your path.
Perfection 🙏🏽🎄🥰🔥✌🏽You are Right!!!
Amen! Plus the beard is looking really nice! 😘 make new feelings for Christmas perhaps God is guiding you to that with this music.
Hi DS, It's me again.4 months later you brought tears to my eyes again! I hope you have created some new memories, happy ones and put away the demons and replaced them with joy. God bless you and keep on keeping on. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks for the raw reality of your words. There are many of us that have dark events and memories associated with the holiday season. Thanks for reminding those that suffer there can still be hope for some healing.
Continue to keep your comments true to you.
You are valued.
Thanks again.
subscribing because you're being real.
Loved hearing from you about attempting to move forward. I hope you can find a way to enjoy this season, and all seasons to come.
Thank you for you home fry reaction!
Keep doing you my friend. great reaction.
I love and appreciate your honesty and appreciation for great music. I myself had my share of not fond holiday memories, yet always loved the Christmas Gospel sound of some holiday songs. Now for something way out of the box, I would love to hear someone react to Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" no lyrics yet haunting beautiful vocals
Saw them perform this song live the past week. It is just as amazing.
God Bless you brother! Have a healthy and Merry Christmas!
I truly love your comments. Keep up the good work.
I really do love your reactions! In my mind, there is no 'bad' music. There may be some I don't care for, but that doesn't make it bad. Music fills & touches all our senses in different ways. There's nothing more powerful.
I would love for you to check out their version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas". They do a gorgeous & simple version leaving the video tell the story & it's very special. By contrast, I'd also love if you did their version of "Children Go Where I Send Thee" with Kenny Rogers. It's a very jazzy & foot-stompin' good time! It will definitely put you in a good mood! Thx!
Awesome live!!💜💜🎄🎄
Thank you for your insightful words. Christmas is a difficult time for me and music helps me get through it as well. After my husband and mother passed within a short years time, Christmas has been a very difficult time of year for me. Thank you for saying what my heart cries out but my words fail me.
Amen I love that your reaction was from the heart it does not matter what the darkness was in the past you are a shining light for music now so create new memories and shine brother shine. { and no this is not a piss-take }
It’s your channel - you do you. I enjoy listening to your reactions because you ARE so honest about not just the music you heard but how it ties in with your own life.
This is the one that got me started with Home Free........ although I'd heard this song so so many times before; and a beautiful song it is ----- but as with most, it'd become "ho-hum". Back when vids were auto-start on FB as ya scrolled past -- I'd decided to let it play; it didn't sound so bad. Well, as I scrolled - I started to notice....... it was a deeper voice singing higher ... and it was good!!! But when Time hit those higher notes so clean (and damn good) --- it made me notice and scroll back up, having to listen again. The research started and have been locked in ever since! :) ... And LIVE -- Even better. Home Free changes music my friend --- all and always for the better. They have this thing ... changing the feeling --- or creating a deeper feeling. Rare --- and Amazing!
me too Rod- I was looking for a version of Oh Holy Night to put on Face Book a couple of years back and saw it in the search results-the good looking guys in the thumbnail caught my attention I won't lie but as soon as I heard them I was hooked! maybe I should say cooked because I am now a Home Fry
Your reaction was perfect! You have become my favorite reactor, today your reaction touched my heart and gave me a bit of new Christmas attitude.
Beautiful❣✌
Merry Christmas, buddy!!!
Tim actually arranged this version.
Their video of
GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER, is hilarious. Guaranteed to make you smile.
I hope you can get rid of the pain and feel happinesses in your life. If I could, I would give you a hug and tell you your ok.
Sheer perfection.
Beautifully said!
At 3:45 watching your reaction, I'm thinking "I know what you're wanting Syd, just wait for it, waiiiiiiiiit for it." Then 4:13 happens and your face says "THERE IT IS!" Same reaction I had.
Spectacular! Then again I haven't found something they've done that hasn't been. If you're getting into the Christmas mode you should check out "You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch by Small Town Titans. 😜
Amen. Thank you.
Thank you! Awesome thoughts!
deep is good if its how you feel. God bless you'
