Great reaction to a classic given new life with this collaboration with the incomparable Don McLean! Love how #HomeFree always give the utmost respect and spotlight to their featured artist(s) to ensure they shine. A heart wrenching but beautiful song, sung to perfection! Home Free never disappoints!
They all did such an amazing job on this beautiful song❤ Don is 78 years old and he is releasing a new album tomorrow called American Boys and Home Free is featured in the title track American Boys. Yes I think redoing American Pie is a good idea .😊
Love this! Don sounds great for 78! Loved our boys backing him up and Rob sounded great too. I loved the paintings behind them and yes, them incorporated into a painting was clever. Good one Jess!😍🤩
Love this collaboration! "Vincent" is such a great song by Don McLean! He originally did it in 1972. What a great remake with Home Free! Rob's voice is perfect for this song. Such a beautiful tribute to the sad life of the painter Vincent Van Gogh. He suffered from depression & committed suicide. He never saw any success during his life. But now his paintings are worth millions of dollars. Please react to "American Pie" again.
This made me fall in love with this song all over again. Absolutely beautiful. Don sounds great , we get to hear Adam singing and Rob wowed me! Thank you for the Home Free reactions.
Thank you for your reaction! I got Don McLeans American Pie album in 1971, and instantly fell in love with the song Vincent. It’s remained one of my favorite songs all these decades. This version with Home Free just takes it up another level for me. I would love to see you react to/review American Pie. Just mention what happened then go for it. All the best to you.
Don McLean doesn't write lyrics - he puts poetry to music. This is such a beautiful song & so beautifully sung. Don McLean still sounds terrific & Home Free are the perfect collaborators. Always immaculate singing & harmonies and respectful of the artists conception of the music. And I so want a copy of the picture at the end in which they're literally absorbed.
Actually, Don didn't come back to do this with Home Free, he invited them to back him on the re-release. It's kind of amazing that he asked them to back him on the re-release of his two most iconic songs. They also back him on the title track of his new album, American Boys. There's an audio-only version on Don's channel. It's a bop. I think it's fine if you want to do a "do over" reaction to American Pie. As long as you explain the circumstances, I don't think there's a problem. It's such a great version.
This is truly phenomenal! What a voice Don McLean still has! Wow. And of course Austin also sang great, but Rob's voice is just perfect for this song. His voice so warm, soft as silk and full of emotion. The quiet background vocals and guitar playing complete it for me. It's the same song as my youth, but with the Home Free twist it's something different. A beautiful song where I, of course, as a Dutch person, know the history of Vincent van Gogh well. I lived not far from his birthplace for a while. If I could, I would have given Don McLean and Home Free a bouquet of sunflowers in memory of Vincent. The sunflower one of his most famous paintings 🌻...... 💖 💖💖💖💖💖 Vincent's life was full of depression. I think his younger brother Theo was his greatest support. Vincent had a love/hate relationship with Paul Gauguin. When there were tensions between the two again, Vincent cut off his left ear. There is a painting of his ear being bandaged. At the age of 37, Vincent shot himself in the chest and died. A man with a sad life where he mainly made himself difficult. There is a mini series about Vincent which is very interesting to see.
I'm 70 and this song has travelled my life's road with me. Always beautiful and sad. Introduced me to his story and paintings. I just love this version, am a Home Fry. Austin looks like a young Vincent. Nana Karen UK
By all means, we would love to hear your comments on their American Pie -- just explain what happened. It's a great plus that you know Don McLean's music well.
Beautiful reaction. Kudos to your mom for sharing her love of art and music with you. The collaboration between Mr. McLean and Home Free made this rendition of Vincent even more poignant. The slight aging in Mr. McLean's voice added an even more hauntingly beautiful quality to the lyrics. Home Free/Don McLean a divine collaboration.
New here! Love that your mom taught you about different art forms! Don and Home Free are such a great combo! This version is brilliantly performed! Love the video, too! I always get chills in certain parts of the song! Don invited Home Free to record a song called “American Boys” with him for his new upcoming album. I don’t know how I haven’t stumbled on your channel prior to this. I’ve been a fan of the guys since their Sing Off appearances in 2013. I watched may of the reactors during the pandemic.
You should ABSOLUTELY go back and re-do the "American Pie" reaction, as far as I'm concerned. Just make sure people understand what happened! I, for one, don't care in the LEAST whether or not someone has already seen/heard the song/video before they react! I really have no clue how that all got started. Just react to what you like! We come to WATCH the reactions, because WE'VE already seen and heard them, and we like to know how others feel about them. Who cares if YOU'VE already seen and heard them. You could even make a "before" and "after" thing if you wanted. How did I react to this back THEN, and how have my tastes changed, if they HAVE changed, and why?" That kind of thing. I'm TOTALLY for anything like that, and I don't care in the least, how many times someone has watched or listened to the song before, though it IS nice to know IF they have heard/seen it before. That gives one a frame of reference, and I always love that. OK...onward into THIS reaction, which I'm already sure I will like, because I have liked ALL of your reactions so far... That was a great reaction, and I agree with your insights. Thank you very much! 😀

Do the American Pie again. It’s been awhile so you will still love it. It’s so good it’s worth it.
I share your opinion of your mama. She is truly wonderful, as are her kids.
By all means, we would love to hear your comments on their American Pie -- just explain what happened. It's a great plus that you know Don McLean's music well.
Don still sounds amazing and Homefree always sounds AMAZING. I always loved this song ❤😢

ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG BUT THIS WAS SPECIAL. LOVE HOW THEY BECAME PART OF THE PAINTING ❤🎉
I've heard this so many times by now and I still get emotional listening to it. It simply opens up our hearts and we feel a deep love within. ❤️

Jess, please redo Pie...it's such an amazing song. Sir Paul McCartny once called this the "perfect" song.
I think you should do a recap of your American Pie reaction. Let us know what you were thinking/feeling during the song😊
