Tim and Austin and friends wrote all of the songs on this new album. I believe Tim wrote this one. Chance is killing it on the bass line too. WOW!!! He is really holding it down.
When music has an emotional effect on the listener, it is just a sign that the composer and performers have done their job.
Adam's No-monica needs to be heard in so many more songs as it always amazes me how he keeps it so real sounding. You forget that it is just him and his vocal talents.
That's cool!! I was thinking I was the only one that called it a "no"monica. LOL
And so long Dixie is the only song with an instrument in it. (Yes so long Dixie has a instrument in it. I went to their concert and they confirmed it.)
The bridge in this song is so beautiful. I get choked up every time I hear it.
This was written by Tim Foust, Austin Brown and Chris Chatham.
Jen, I understand why you are emotional. This song brings that out. What a beautiful song they created. The tone, the harmonies, the lyrics, the harmonica and the wonderful guitar make this a journey that fills your soul. I have been eagerly waiting for you to do this reaction. Adding Chris was just putting the icing on the cake. That minor key he plays in the bridge was genius. They truly are masters of their craft. Thank you. Your reactions always makes me smile. Great job.
So beautiful!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer : can you react to: Unchained Medley by Voiceplay and I just called to say I love You by Penatatonix, ( if there new video on TH-cam by Home Free called: Givin’ up on You with Texas Hill.
As a music educator I enjoy the way you relate the technique to its effect on the music. Most awesome.
Gosh darn it. This song always tears me up.... You're not the only one. lol. They're so amazing!
For future reference, if you look on your CD, it lists who wrote each song. This was Tim, Austin, Adam Wakefield of Texas Hill, and Chris Chatham. Prior to this album, I don't think we've had any Austin-Tim songwriting collaborations, so it's been cool to see what they do together.
Yes ahah! Thank you 😁
Hi Jennifer, thanks for buying the album and all that you do for Home Free 🙂
A song so wonderful. A masterpiece. The harmony is just always perfect at Home Free. A good choice to do it with a guitar this time because that's just part of it. Then Adam's no-monica which can be heard at exactly the right moments. Not too overwhelming. Yes, as I often say: Home Free is not only hearing the music, but also feeling it.
Thank you Jen for your reaction, but also having the strength to wait and NOT listen to the entire album because you want to share your experience and reaction with us. ❤ The entire album is a lot of their own creations and to me, it by far is their best as it really shows us how incredibly talented they are. This one is by Tim and Austin. Thank you again for waiting to share your thoughts, education and talent. Appreciate YOU!
Adam adds just the right amount to what the song needs. The soft harmonica was perfect
I teared up, too, at that final "So long," when Tim looks directly at the camera.
I've heard this song countless times now, having bought it, and it still makes me tear up.
Isn’t it beautiful?! One of my new favorites. Tim, Austin, and Chris (on guitar) wrote this with Adam Wakefield (Texas Hill). Such beautiful lyrics and melody. I didn’t even mind the guitar. I saw them sing this live and it was so beautiful. I loved it immediately. Good reaction Jen!🥰
Every time I come here for a video of any kind; I always leave with a smile.
They filmed this near Denver. It was cold, they gave Chris some hand warmers so he could keep his fingers nimble! Love your Home Free reactions.
Absolutely perfect song
What great songwriters these guys are!! I love all their originals, as well as their covers ofcourse!! Chris's guitar and Adam's nomonica are hauntingly beautiful!
Another great original song! This is such a beautiful heartfelt melancholy song. Tim's lead was awesome along with all the guy's harmonies & Adam's harmonica sounds were great as usual. I don't mind having an instrument played once in awhile in a song. It was tastefully done in the background without taking over. It added a nice element. Also like the scenery in Colorado.
This song seemed so simple & deep but it was so moving & beautiful. I loved your reaction to this.
Sounds like we need another Home Free week....
Jen, Jen, Jen... you are so charming. I love your HF reactions. Your reaction was my first time hearing this HF release. Beautiful and tear stimulating too. You have taught us so much by your analysis' of these great artists, we should make you an honorary member of their group! Your smiles, tears, giggles and beautiful eyes make everyone watching you jealous. We love you Jen! Keep up the great work. Chuck in NE Kansas, USA
David in NE Kansas also. Ditto.
This album is interesting because Chance sings bass on almost every song (9 of the 12 new songs if I remember correctly). Since Tim and Austin wrote a lot of the lyrics for this album, Tim ends up having a whole lot of solos.
I forgot, when they do this live, Tim speaks the "so long" at the end. Wow it makes you melt.❤️
This is a beautiful, somber, emotionally heartfelt song !
Jen, I never miss your reactions. And your analysis is always spot on. There is one thing they do in this song that is so remarkable yet so subtle that even you missed it. As the solo is singing the line that starts, "I loved you for so long..." the BGV are emulating strings. I missed it at first, but wow! They are so talented.
My wife and I are going to see them live in a couple weeks, we're both so excited. We are lucky enough to live near Tim's home town so they come through when they're on tour.
I’m like you going to see them at Lutcher Theater! I’m excited to see them so close to home
I swear... every time I "think" I have "heard" a song... and then hear your analysis... I discover so much more within the music, tones, and performances. Thanks so much Jen for, once again, opening my eyes to a wonderful song and performance. Love Home Free and love your analysis of them!
Such a beautiful song. Thank you very much for reacting to and analyzing this. Have a wonderful day!
The unexpected progression is a regular HF 'addition'. It makes their arrangements unique and fantastic.
Yes, Adam has a magnificent range, too, we just don't usually notice it.
Tim and Chance taking lead allowed the BV, no-monica, and soft guitar to lend a wistful tone to the sound.
I love Home Free and this beautiful song! And love listening to your comments! I also love it’s so easy to tell you love them too!
Don’t forget to watch Adam Rupp drum solo from 2015 you’ll love it
I haven't heard this one yet, either... I've been waiting for a reaction video and yours WINS. Can't wait!
Wow.... Such a beautiful song celebrating both where they came from and how they are growing away from it ..
Thanks Jen for your reaction to this song. Love that you’ve waited until now to open (my husband stole mine)! There’s so many different & new elements to this song that I’ve never heard. Great song & love the guitar.
Tim and Austin were talking about leaving home and collaborated with Chris to write this song.
Adam Wakefield from the band Texas Hill is credited as a writer of this song as well because he came up with the title. According to Tim in Nashville "if you write a word, you get a third", which in my opinion is exactly as it should be, if you contributed in any way, then you get credit. Love this song so much, another great reaction. 🍟❤️
@@sherryschoenlein8951 that's awesome! I love that they include people.... most people wouldn't
From the liner notes it looks like it was written by Tim Foust, Austin Brown Adam Wakefield, & Chris Chatham
Beautiful❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
One of those songs whose "meaning" is open to interpretation by the listener, so there are many--a sign of a great song, accompanied by HF's masterpiece harmonies❣️
Hi Jen! What a great way to start the week. It's such a beautiful song. As always, they sound wonderful! Thank you for your reaction, always a treat to hear your thoughts..hope you have a great day!
Thank you! And you😁
This song definitely makes me emotional too, I think it's such an amazing skill to make you feel the music, Home Free has mastered that as well, & it's one of the many reasons why we love them. I saw them sing this live, & at the end where Tim sang "so long" on this version, he just says that part when he's doing it live, & I definitely teared up, it brings out the feels in me every time. Lovely reaction & of course you have such a wonderful way of analyzing their songs, I truly enjoy listening to you explain it so that even I can understand, Thank You. ❤️🍟
Yes, by now you know Tim Austin and Chris Chatham, the guitarist, wrote this song. It’s my understanding they write music with instruments, and they thought the guitar was so beautiful, they wanted to include it in the recording.
Such an emotional and beautiful song. Makes me proud to be a Home Fry.
revisionism isn't beautiful no matter how well it is done.
It is beautiful 👍
@@whyme7996 Reflecting on your experiences and learning from your mistakes is a sign of growth. It may not be easy or comfortable but it's beautiful.
Chris was asked to join the guys on this song as a way to say 'Thank You' for his many years of supporting the group. This is a wonderful change for the guys, and such a beautiful song.
As to where the guys are going, there is talk of heading to Europe again, so maybe you'll get your chance to sing with them?
I love to watch your face while you are listening. You look at All of them in this video with so much admiration! Love your reactions!
Love the song. And even more fabulous to live near the video location. It is fabulous views and landscape. Garden of the Gods is breathtaking.
Great job on the analysis. Always on point.
This song seems to convey different things to different people, but is consistent in its raw emotion and stunning beauty. I love that they included the guitar. We love HF a cappella, but this song feels meant to have this guitar. Chris Chatham (I think it’s pronounced CHATum) is such a gifted musician.
It really seems like these guys just love making music and working together and there’s no room for egos in the mix. I’m with you, Jen. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do this year, too.
I’m also looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings for YOU as well! ❤
A very emotional song which, as you said, hits people differently. Thank you for the pronunciation! Thank you😁❤️
I've heard this a number of times now and I always cry. It's perfect. Lovely reaction, thank you.
The change from the US South (Dixie) to a different environment was meaningful to me. The added guitar was great.
On other reactions to this song I have written the same thing that I’m going to ask everyone here. When all of HOME FREE are singing the oos and Chris is playing his guitar solo does anyone else hear the opening theme to the OLYMPICS?
great job. everybody always say this is a studio recording,but i was able to hear them sing this live and im telling you it sounds the same. Being from the UK you might not understand how powerfull the message is,and how daring it was for rhe southern guys to do it. Happy New Year !!! cant wait for your next reaction
Nothing daring about it as HF and others have explained. They are on a personal path that leads to expand their horizons. Closer to Nashville for Tim and Austin. So, more easy access to each other and Tim and Austin starting a new separate group also.
Of course one needs the signed copy. I got the signed one too even though I don't have a CD player and I also have their autographs on probably 20-30 items. At first I was going to wait until they come over to see us on this side of the pond this year, but I wanted to hear the album so much that I purchased it before release date so I could download the digital album :D Also, I love supporting them.
Ah thank you!! Yes can’t wait to see their Uk dates… moving everything out of my diary when that happens ahah!
Jen, you have the CD. Check the back of the cover, and you will find who wrote each song. They list under each song the writers.
I have tears in my eyes
Love this song. ❤️ It makes me tear up.
And love your reaction. I would love to se what you think of their colab with Kenny Rogers in "Children go where I send thee". So much gospel and sweet harmonies in that one.
Keep up your reactions. I will be watching them.
Hey Jenn !!! Greetings to you & your hubby over in the UK. This song is just extremely emotional for me, as those lyrics mimic my story in a lot of ways. I was brought up in your typical deep South (Dixie) household. I too had to say so long to a lot of my roots because they just didn't jibe with my feelings I had as an adult, about religion, race & politics. I well up because I love my family but don't talk to many of them anymore. It just ends up in arguments & yelling & screaming at each other. I do a ZOOM call on Thanksgiving, Christmas & my birthday with about 7 or 8 often, which only lasts a few minutes & we do a little catch up with each other (a chin-wag y'all would call it) and it's better this way too. I love them, but can't stand to be around at times.....I think you can understand how I feel. Anyways this is from the pens of Tim Foust, Austin Brown & Chris Chatham - it's so dang pretty.....clearly now a new Home Free favorite. Thanks for your analysis....later kiddo.
Jennifer! I'm so glad you got to this one! I had seen it come out, what, a few weeks ago or so? And I wanted to watch it but I figured you'd react and analyze it so I waited. And here we are! It's not always the case I can hear it first time along with you as you react so I do it when I can! Yes, this one is definitely emotional. I've lived in the Dixie states all my life and while I love traveling I can relate to the idea of having to leave for good. The SE United States is just home. Very pretty song, I hadn't heard it anywhere else either. The tone and tenor of the song is right in Home Free's sweet spot for sure. And shooting the video in Colorado with that backdrop makes it VERY clear they aren't in Dixie anymore! Beautiful song and a great reaction and analysis as always Jennifer. 😊
Thank you!! 😁
Jen, I love your reaction. This song is very emotional, especially to us Southerners. On a separate note, your hairdo is beautiful. I'm liking the look.
The liner notes in the CD will tell you who wrote each song. Definitely needed now that Home Free is doing more original work. Also, I know that the guys all have amazing vocal ranges, but I feel that when you take into account all of the sounds he makes, Adam has the biggest range.
This song, along with almost all of the songs on the album, was written by Tim Foust. You also might want to checkout Tim and Peter's new release of "You've Got a Friend" from their new duet album.
Thank you!
Austin actually co-wrote this song, together with Chris Chatham, and he is listed as co-writer for more songs on the album than Tim is. Not that it really matters, they are both amazing song writers, but credit should be where it's due, and didn't write almost all of the songs on the album, but Austin almost did.
@@carinalindberg7377 Thank you for the correction.
@@MikeHeavin My pleasure!
No Diva's in Home Free ! The Love each other too much for that and They Always Service the Songs needs first !
Great React/analysis Jen !
Thank you for another great reaction - love your analysis of the music and your genuine reaction. Keep up the great work you do!
This is my favourite song off the album. I feel it deep in my soul and it hits some painful memories. However it also reminds me that there were good times and that the place I grew up helped make me the person I am today. I always knew I had to leave and I can never move back there, but I am grateful for everything that place and the people taught me.
The Southern boys wrote this. I feel this song so deeply. I had a good life growing up but for the person I am now, I just can’t go back. For personal, political, moral reasons. I’ve felt so guilty and sad and this song helped me tremendously. I know I’m not alone. It’s still heartbreaking to feel like you have outgrown home.
Same here.
I agree completely.
A couple of the southern guys tend to be a bit centrist left political wise.
I am afraid people have gotten so caught up in emotions they have forgotten to use their brains.
@@brendagrothier967 no matter to me politically. They stand for equality for all. I can get behind that as a human.
This is one of the most beautiful songs that they have written and also so sad
I love your reactions. In the American Civil War of the states the southern states were called Dixie states. You may already know that.
This song is amazing because it gives you a nostalgic mood and time past which you miss, and how those times will always follow you. It's one of those very memorable country songs. I would love for you to respond to their version of "Brothers in Arms" It's emotional in a different way, but it also showcases just how beautiful 5 voices can be together. Keep up the great work on your channel!
The first time I heard this was at their concert before the album release. It was amazing. It's odd for a song to give me chills on the first time hearing but this one did. Chris's guitar is perfect.
So glad you did this one. Wanted to wait to hear your reaction first. You make my listening to the song so much more enjoyable. Now I feel I will be able to hear and thus feel the music in much more detail. Thank you so much. 😊🤗
Oh thank you so much!
I tried to imagine what brought out your touching emotions towards the end, Jenn. Whether it was the heart wrenching lyrics or the soul ripping harmonies, or was it the combination with the Guitar in the foreground and the harmonica subtly playing in the background. What ever it was, It is another Home Free masterpiece. As always it was a great reaction and analysis.
Definitely a mixture of all! Their voices sound beautiful together and then the lyrics too😭
This is just --- my my my!!! How they do that, such clean blend ...... These guys are nothing short of AMAZING! So Good!!!! :) & for them and your reaction. Be Safe
I have heard this amazing song many times. I, also, have the signed copy 😁. Anyway, I get a very James Taylor feel to this song and JT has been a favorite since I was young. Thanks, again Jenn for the great reaction.
Thank you😊
@@JenniferGlatzhofer : what country songs do you like for Home Free to do?
It is hard to leave a way of life and a mindset you grew up with. But, the world changes, and every so often, we need to dig down to bedrock to build a new road.
💟
😁😁
Anyone who has ever left their home for economic, or other reasons, marriage, a job, a career, understands this. You love where you are from, are proud of it and carry it with you, but you can't go back home once you leave it. Home is where your heart and family are, and we grow up and move on... and in this world, few get to stay near where they were born and raised... that's what this song is to me...
Jenn, I have just two words for you - Allison Krause & Union Station. She has one of the best female voices you will ever hear. Lucky One, Let me touch you for awhile, are just some of the best ones. Union Station features Dan Tyminski who was the singing voice for George Clooney in the movie O Brother Where art Thou. They also feature Jerry Douglas- the best Dobro player on the planet. Allison's voice is incredible. Another excellent voice is Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland- the official video for Stay will make you feel something. Always excellent reactions and good info.
P.S- apparently my counting skills have deteriorated.
Hi, Jen! Glad you're back! I love your reactions and analyses, especially when it comes to Home Free!
This sounds absolutely amazing live and Tim fully speaks those last two words. And for future reference, if you look at the back of your CD, you'll see the songwriters in small print beneath each song title.
Bless your heart Jenn. That's a sign of a soft heart .♥ You're a sweetie.!
You have such control. As soon as the cd came out, I downloaded it. Immediately. So thank you for waiting so we can experience it with you (even if we have already listened ourselves.)
I think this is America growing beyond parts of our history that we must grieve & let go, while carrying forward the heart and soul that was and is also there. Maybe all humanity, as well...
So, so very moving.
I would LOVE to see you step back in time to react to Home Free covering "Thinking Out Loud" and "Let's Get it On" video!
I've been waiting for your reaction to this one, Jen. I'm sure it will be epic, just like all your work!
One of my favorites from this new album, thank you for reacting! Although it's about leaving a place behind, I think it can also mean saying bye to a lost loved one in a way. Definitely emotional. "You're just on the wrong end of one way road" such a great line.
I'd love to see you react to their older stuff too, like Take Me Home, Country Roads, Hillbilly Bone + Honey I'm Good + Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget + Sold (for some fun), Folsom Prison Blues, and Everbody Walking This Land.
I have concluded that you, Jen, have two bowls of enthusiasm for breakfast every morning. Which is fine, I get vicarious enthusiasm from your videos. Thank you.
Hahah thank you 😁
These lyrics have a hell of a tugging effect on the listener, (if I’m not out of line including everyone else)!
Your love for Home Free comes out in your reactions and analysis’. Enjoy you!
I grew up in Texas in the 60's and moved to Massachusetts 20 years ago. These lyrics really hit home. I'm not sure if Jen, being British, knows that Dixie generally refers to the southern states that made up the Confederate , slave owning, states during the American Civil War (1861-65). Martin Luther King said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Tim's words that you (Dixie) are on the wrong end of a one way road (the moral arc) is exactly how I feel, especially for the last decade. You can't erase the past, but ain't it meant to last (bigotry, lack of women's rights, antisemitism, etc.,etc.) Unfortunately, far too many in Dixie (and many other places as well) have not learned from their mistakes; in fact, they embrace them. Pair this song with, "Everybody Walkin' this Land." I am in awe of Home Free, of course for thier phenomenal and unparalleled musical talent. But equally, for their message of social justice in many of their songs, dispute the negative impact it might have from some of their fan. Bravo, Home Free. The GOAT.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your reactions. You're a doll.
Thanks Jennifer - fantastic reaction and analysis. Loved it. If you had turned your cd around you could've seen who wrote "So Long Dixie". Tim, Austin, Chris Chatham, and Adam Wakefield 😆🍟
Beautiful song. I love how they're making such powerful original songs, even though one might associate an acapella group with covers. Great video as always.
Jen, the writers are listed on the back of the CD. Small print, dark and hard to see, yeah, but they're there right below each song. This one was written by Tim, Austin, Adam Wakefield (from Texas Hill I think), and Chris Chatham, whose on the guitar. I'm just waiting for Austin to do a video for Stargazer Lilies, outside of the Sweet + Low version. He can just sit and sing it to Amberly and I'd be happy.
Thanks Jen for another GREAT REACTION to Home Free breaking everything down the way you do! I do believe Chance and Rupp made the difference in this song as the other 3 we expect nothing less!
FYI: nice to see your nails on and make done up... but not needed as I can tell your a beautiful person inside! Hubby lucky to have ya!
peace!
Another beauty from the album. I think the guys (with some help from their songwriting friends) have hit their stride in the songwriting department.
tim wrote this one and it is even more beautiful live
"Stargazer lilies" is a must, Jenn. It's another beautiful song written by Austin and Keelan Woodbury Donovan
apparently for his girlfriend Amberly because they are her favorite flowers. It is an Acapella song with Adam bringing out his pallet of background sounds.
Hi Jenn, I'm still praying you get a chance to sing with them. Were they sing about a girl named Dixie? Makes you wonder. I always like to see and hear your reactions. Stay well and warm over there.
What’s really nice about this is that the subject does not need to be about Dixie.
They have another new one dropping soon I think it's the one with Texas Hill they filmed the video while on tour in TX ! I'm excited !
Lady J, I think you might need a box of tissues nearby for future reactions. When HF aims for the funnybone, you will laugh; when they aim for the feels, you will wonder where the onion-chopping ninja is.
