Beautiful original song. Chance was great on bass. NOmonica was stunning 🎶❤️👏
Chris Chatham the guitar player was one of the writers along with Tim and Austin, and his guitar playing is beautiful. I've heard a couple of fans recordings of this song in concert and it sounded to me like Adam's "harmonica" was more to the fore, and I really enjoyed that because his playing really rips your heart out.
Absolutely love this song. Love your reaction!
Great reaction!! I agree that we needed to hear more of Adam. Still a Great song!! Keep up the Great work!!
DramaSydETV, Home Free will not forget us, they'll come back for us.
I don't know. They are all doing their own things now. At least Austin and Tim. This may be their swan song.
I realize that mainstream FM radio is not the way that many people get their music fix these days. But, this song is better than most of what passes as country music today. They should be getting airtime with many of their songs. The guys know how to take you along for whatever ride they're on in their music. ❤
I agree with you.... Adam was drowned out which was sad. The guitar was beautiful but I want to hear Home Free with as you said "All their nuances"
I very much enjoyed this song. HF has this way of tugging at your heartstrings with their music. I understand your comment regarding the harmonica/guitar mix. I’d like to hear them do more music with instruments. I think that they’ve got the talent to pull that off with no problem. Nice to see you Michael. 😀
Home Free has a new group in addition to HF called Sweet and Low. It has many instruments in this group. I support both groups but Home Free happens to be my favorite and I personally enjoy the most. I am older and don't stray far from country. Please no feelings hurt...
In concert the “no-monica” is very subtle like here. I think they were going for a more mournful sound-almost like a memory.
Awesome original even better performance ❤
Adams no-monica almost sounds like a steel guitar (crying guitar) more than a harmonica to me. I'd love to see him work towards picking up that sound & yes, lighten the acoustic guitar.
I actually like that the nomonica is a bit more in the background. It’s so hauntingly beautiful and the fact that you have to listen for it makes it almost mystical.
This song is pure magic. I love Chris’ guitar playing. The man is a genius. And Tim’s voice gets me every time he opens his mouth
This should be on the radio.
I totally agree with you here. Thank you so much.
This is beautifully bittersweet. It heals an American hurt that’s difficult to express. The lyrics - they’re an intimate, personal expression of a single soul. There’s just something about these men and their music that touches the spirit.
Home Free, somehow, has the ability to break the rules. They can add an instrument and still feel a capella. Chris Chatham on guitar was just the right bit to add. His playing was just enough to augment, but not too much to distract.
Damn, these men are good.
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 (could have been louder). 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.
As a born-and-raised Southerner (with Canadian parents though), this song just hits SO incredibly hard that it's almost unbelievable. Thank you Tim, Chris (❤️), Austin, Chance and any of the other Southern boys who had a hand in writing this! Y'all literally made my heart sing with this one!!!
Agreed - I would like to hear Adam louder instead of background.
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.
I thought the harmonica sound was too low in the mix too. As a native of a state below the Mason Dixon, particularly for one who was a teen during the 60’s, I have had the same feelings for nearly six decades.
This is such a great original song. I hope it really takes off for them.
I have to admit that I agree with you. I knew the imaginary harmonica was there but couldn't really hear it.
Absolutely wonderful reaction, your facial expressions were awesome. The song is gorgeous, the meaning is beautiful and a bit sad and I agree with wanting to hear the Adamonica better.
It is beautiful! And I agree about Adam's "nominica"
Another beautiful original song with Chris Chatham on guitar. Adam kills the harmonica ❤️
I agree about not being able to hear Adam very well.
I totally agree I would have loved to hear more of Adam. I didn't expect a guitar. It was played very well. They sounded wonderful. Great reaction and analysis.
Thank you
@@DramaSydETV One thing I would point out is Chris was a co-author of the song and to have him in the song was a sign of respect for that contribution IMHO
@@ronfuqua2117 him being on the song wasn’t a complaint I simply wanted to hear Adam a little louder
@@DramaSydETV true production could and probably should have fixed that in the live shows it is sometimes hard to hear Adam doing the no-monica as well
Beautiful❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Fair assessment, it's not often you will hear a musical instrument in Home Frees songs, other that the instruments provided by Adam Rupp.
Chris, the guitar player, has been part of the Home Free support group for many years, so as a way of thanking him for the many years of service to the group, the guys decided that a way of thank him would be to have him in this song, playing his guitar. I think it was a great decision, and I think you might be right about dialing down the guitar sound and/or bringing up Adams No-Monica sound.
Well thank you, just an opinion but as I said it’s beautiful, but I wanna hear everything
Chris is one of the co-writers of this song…he also wrote the guitar part.
I agree with you .Ty Love your reactions ❤
I actually liked Chris on the guitar as he helped write the song.
Love them and I totally agree with you!
Chance on the bass line was outstanding!!!!!
I loved the look on your face when you realized Adam was doing that harmonica work without the harmonica!
Ok I’m late to the party…don’t know how I missed this. It’s so nice to see you. Another great original song from the album.
Hey drama!! This is just plain o pretty!! Their originals are spectacular!!
Maybe they wanted a soft harmonica sound, I Iiked what they did also,I think its one of their best.
It made the harmonica sound haunting to me. It might have been better if we could hear Adam in the places where the video shows him playing but we can't hear him, but maybe not. I am so used to 'hearing' various instruments when HF sings that I only notice the guitar when the vocals stop.
Yeah, I found myself straining to hear Adam's "harmonica" so I get you but still, I really like the guitar with this particular song.
Have you listened to their cover of 'Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up'? Adam goes absolutely nuts on that one! Bet you'd love it. The audio is here on TH-cam but they had to put their official video on their Facebook page to avoid a Garth Brooks copyright strike or something. Well worth the time to find it. Edit--just did a quick Google and there is a direct link to their video on the 1st page of the Google search results. 😀
So glad to see you back.
Such a great song.
This song was actually written by Tim, Austin, Adam Wakefield ( from Texas Hill) and Chris Chatham the guitarist. Enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
Complaint? … perhaps, or perhaps another surprise at the unexpected.
Maybe a little more harmonica, but,to me, the guitar was the perfect tone and mood to the fabric of the song. I hear it as a, somewhat melancholy, reflection on the lessons that brought them to a “coming of age” turning point in life. The bitter/sweet memories, mixed with an underlying eagerness and excitement of taking the first steps on a new journey in life.
The mellowness of the guitar, with just enough prick of the harmonica from the past …. Perfect.
Great reaction. I don't consider what you said as a complaint; just a statement of preference. To be honest, I agree with you. I had a difficult time hearing Adam's no-monica because of the guitar. Chris did a good job on the guitar, but I also think it should have been softer. Beautiful and poignant song however. Tim's voice was perfect for it. Thank you for your honest reaction. I always enjoy your honesty and your comments.😁🍟
Chris's guitar invariable drowns everyone out. IMO. Mixing gives him too much volume. Especially in Sweet and Low. So, totally agree with you, Micheal.
Always respect and appreciate your Home Free reactions. This brings up emotion no matter how many times I hear it. I'm not a HF purist (who are opposed to the inclusion of the guitar) but agree that Adam's magic is being lost. From what can be picked out, his nomonica even has a bit of a 'slide' effect. He's more seen than heard. (Rockin' the bandana and shades!). Chance makes his bass feel somewhat rumble-y. I've not detected it but one reactor commented he heard Austin...or perhaps Adam....layering in some 'strings.' A lot going on in what seems to be a fairly simple, melancholy melody. Deserves to be getting radio play.
I agree with you about turning down the guitar so the imaginary harmonica can be heard better.
As always, when Home Free wants to send a message important to them, they do it with artistry, passion, and authenticity. Here, they join Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, (more recently, Reba McEntire) and others .... in giving us hope for cultural progress -- not just in the south, but anywhere in the country where a certain mindset leads to division, fear, and hatred of the "other." A great bookend to Everybody Walking This Land.
Love this song and video. They performed this at the concert I was at and Chris made a surprise appearance. Tim and Austin did a beautiful job writing this.
Hi Drama, it's nice to finally see you back. I agree with you about the guitar.
I enjoyed the addition of the guitar, I think it paced the song beautifully, but I do agree Adam should have been made to shine a bit more.
This is a beautiful song and I love that Tim gets to show his range and talents along with the rest of the guys.
I totally agree with you.
It’s so beautiful. Tim, Austin, Chris (Tim’s friend on guitar) wrote this one. I did love the soulful sound of Adam’s harmonica. I know what you mean with the guitar being a little louder than Adam but I still loved it. I saw them do this live in PA and Chris was there and played guitar. It was so beautiful and I remember wow, that’s a good one. I think it should be on the radio. Good reaction DS!🥰
DramaSyDe, You've Nailed the Reaction, Again!!!
The harmonica & harmonies are haunting, guitar is a nice addition, scenery is beautiful & the icing on the cake is you; so glad to have you back, you’re looking well; hope all is well with your previous health issues & just good to see you again; take care & stay safe, peace & many hugs, hope you have a wonderful new year. ❤️❤️🤗🤗🥰🥰☮️☮️👍👍
agreed!
The faux-monica really added pathos to this song. I think it should have been slightly more prominent in the mix, but only slightly so, because it was the ethereal nature in the background, it portrayed the fleeting nature of remembrance that is the soul of this song. The guitar was beautiful and plucked at my heart strings, but the faux-monica was what touched my soul and emphasized the journey the lyrics drew us through. I have always loved watching your reactions, they usually portray your feeling about what you experiencing as well if not better than just words. Thank you for continuing to follow Home Free.
Their voices just melt my heart..
While I really like the gentle guitar addition in this I would agree that in a couple of spots it would have been nice to fade it back so you could hear the "no-monica' come forward.
I can't remember if you ever did "Ain't goin' down" (Facebook only). It has all kinds of "faux-monica" for you.
Always love your HF reactions. Thanks
Hope you and my fellow Hfries are having a great New Year so far!
Another fair and convincing review SydeFry. Thanks you as always. Cheers!
I would think of your comment as feedback/opinion than as a complaint. I will say that I rarely use headphones to listen while I watch reactors view the videos. I will slightly agree that I wish I could hear the faux harmonica better since I had listened so many times before the album was released, I had never noticed the harmonica sound until I saw the video and realized I missed it. This is a great song and they performed it very well.
Hi Mr Mike! So good to see you again :) Wasn't this a great song? The simple Oo-oo's paying homage to so many decades of country classics. And Tim's voice was... smoother, melancholic. Yeah, I missed Adam's line too, but I love Chris' contribution regardless.
Good take, fair enough
I agree with you 💯 ❤
Missed your face!! I am SO glad you mentioned the balance with the harmonica. I thought the same thing! Beautiful song, but I completely agree with you on the production. I think I understand what they were going for.. but I would have preferred having the harmonica a bit more forward in the balance
I MISSED YOU! ❤️ great reaction 🥰🤗
Thank you!!
I love your reactions especially to homefree!! Thank you!
Great reaction as always. I love hearing Adam playing the "no"monica. I do agree that I would have liked to hear more of it. Thanks for another great reaction!!
So calming and melancholy, especially having recently battled homesickness. 🥴
Haven't seen you in a while my friend. I agree with you about Adam. The guitar was aliitle strong. Thank you for reacting .😊❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
Not a complaint - just a considered and thoughtful comment on the performance. We can't always like everything, even if we'd like to.
Exactly
The song was written by Tim, Austin, Chris Chatham (the guitarist and a long-time collaborator) and Adam Wakefield (of Texas Hill). I actually love the guitar in it (he's a masterful musician & his mandolin playing in the song "What's It To You" on Austin's channel is outstanding); however, I agree that I would have liked Adam's no-monica to be more prominent. I love this song and it's message. Thank you for playing & commenting on it!
What did you think the message was in the song?
I am older and Love Home Free. Can you please comment on what you think or feel the message to this song means. Please explain in detail because I am hard of hearing and sometimes miss some words or complete meaning of the song. Thank you.
Sometimes there have been other people with instruments that are included in their video, Chris Chatham (with the guitar) helped to write this song along with Tim, Austin and Adam Wakefield. Home Free usually is singing just acapella in their videos, but I agree that Adam's "Nomonica" should have been turned up because it sounded way too nice and the guitar was a little too focused on and it overtook the vocals and Nomonica quite a bit.
So nice to see you back and doing your thing. Got to see this live a few months ago. It was awesome. I am loving their original tracks on their new album. ❤
Good to be back
That is exactly what I was thinking. The guitar was beautiful, but more cow bell! uh I mean the harmonica should have been louder. Great commentary and reaction!
I first heard this song in concert in October 2022. I love this song.
👍😁 It would be hard to be better than Home Free singing this song. The accompanying guitar was perfect for the beautiful harmony. Your kinda right about the harmonica should be a bit louder, but my little opinion is that I just enjoyed the blending of the voices and the guitar and Adams 🤔🤫 no-monica (as mentioned below)
Missed this live. I agree guitar is a little loud.
love the reactions man... always on point.
Thank you
Thanks Mike - so glad you're back with the boys! 🖤🍟
Great reaction. You're one of my favs as far as watching reactions goes. I'm wondering if you're familiar with Japanese rock? I'd be really interested in what you think of the band One OK Rock. Their concert videos are incredible. A few great songs, in case you were curious; We Are, Take What You Want, I Was King.
I agree with you
I always ♥️ your commentary!
I agree with you Mike! I even wish they would have left the guitar out completely. The guitar was pretty and Tim's brother-in-law plays well but I prefer an a capella group be just that a capella. Your reaction was spot on. You did a great job. Thank you for your reaction.
Thank you
Just FYI, that’s Chris Chatham, Tim’s long-time friend and collaborator and one of the writers of this song on the guitar. You are thinking of Christopher Marion, who is Tim’s brother in law, who had also joined Tim on some of his solo projects.
@@jenniferlandry5767 I feel brother-in-law, friend, collaborator or one of the writers of the song, he doesn't belong there. There are many writers on HF songs that Tim or Austin help write and they don't play instruments on the songs. They should keep the outsiders playing on Sweet and Low Music Co.
@@cricketandbuddy They said that Chris's guitar really helped shape the song and that it wasn't complete without it.
❤
The guitar player wrote the song with Tim so I guess he felt he had to play. I agree. You couldn't hear Adam. Love the song but I would like to hear it without the guitar.
The guys loved his picking and wanted him to play with them. He didn't ask.
@@cattsunn I understand. He's a great guitarist. But I couldn't hear Adam.
Mike I agree with you on the no-monica and guitar.....but that's my only problem too. These lyrics are my story too, as I grew up in a traditional (well as traditional as it can be in Miami as opposed to other places) of being raised as your traditional Southern white boy. My father let loose with the n-word 100+ times a day, and until my mom's passing in 2011 she would say "colored people" (I never did hear her or her mom say the n-word it was always "colored folks" or "people"). I know she had no malice in it, she and Diana the cleaner who came twice a month, and they even went to lunch together a number of times and a movie or two together, she would still call her "my colored girl" even though Diana was only 4 years younger.....it wasn't done to be hurtful, it was just the way she was brought up. I think you understand.....but my upbringing I broke away from it once I was a teen and went to school with African-American & Hispanic kids......I lost my fear of those that are "different". So the words of this song, especially that 2nd verse that Chance sings totally resonate with me.
I agree....although I do love Chris's guitar. But without that haunting "no-monica", it wouldn't be as pretty. Of all the harmonica sounds Adam has done on previous songs, this one is my favorite. I think this is my favorite of their originals, even though I feel a little sad when I listen. I fear this means the group is leaving Country behind and changing their style. Don't misunderstand; I'm a Home Fry for life, but I will miss the occasional Country song. 😞
I understand why you would think that but they're not leaving country music behind. Country is who they are....at least 3 of them lol they already do every genre of music. I to am a home Fry for life 🤘🤠🤘
@@minneyruth I feel they are basic Country but sometimes want to adventure out. I just hope they don't go to far and lose their base. I feel none of us fans have to like every song they write or preform. Just my own opinion right or wrong. I LOVE THIS SONG!
@@lindasegraves6207 I understand 👍
And there are a few songs I don't like lol
@@minneyruth Thanks and I hope to be a Home Free Fan for Life.
Hey my friend, please, please react to Ms Betty wright no pain, no gain 1992 LIVE, she is absolutely amazing with her F7 whistle notes and she's soo beautiful but bless her heart, she passed in 2020 from cancer at the young age of 66. Thank you thank you for your service Love you and stay safe 😇🙏God bless you
As a hard-of-hearing person, I can barely hear Adam Rupp's harmonica playing.
I didn't listen with headphones, but, I never did hear the harmonica.
Which was my point, 🙏🏾
@@DramaSydETV the first time watched, I thought, is he just blowing his nose?....or am I missing the harmonica?
I listen with headphones, and since the very first time I watched any video of this song I noticed Adam´s harmonica, I think they didn´t want that the harmonica takes a main part of the song, just a complementary one, but the acoustic guitar was complete necessary with this arrangement, if there were no guitar they had to modify the entire song
By the way, many others reactors did hear the harmonica very well, go and watch other reactions
Sounds like an opinion to me and I agree. More of Adam's harmonica is a plus..
Yes, I thought the same thing. Guitar was too loud and drowned out Adam. The guitarist co wrote the song.
I agree the guitar was to loud, we can't hear Adam's wonderful non harmonica. It's a beautiful song, well done except for the guitar to loud.
Disappointed by the addition of the guitar.
I agree with you 😌
