If you want to hear them slay harmonies, check out Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, and/or Brothers in Arms. ❤
....and Seven Bridges Road 😊
They are impressively 'tight' on "Helplessly Hoping" Everything starts and ends together and the unison in the beginning makes you listen to hear two distinct voices.
And How Great Thou Art.
And How Great Thou Art.
And How Great Thou Art.
I’m really looking forward to you reacting to Rob and Austin singing Nessun Dorma I’m sure you will like it.
Tim demonstrates his full range in a solo "IN MY ROOM" by singing ALL PARTS! You will be amazed and pleased simultaneously !
Thanks for the reco!
Yes! Speaking of fun, it will be when Sir reacts to some of Tim's doo-wop album. I really like the "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" one as well :~)
I agree “helplessly hoping” harmonies are excellent!
You cannot go wrong with any “Home Free” song whether it be cover or original! I can’t wait for you to listen to them all!
Also Tim, Austin and Chance all have solo careers outside of Home Free.
And Tim and Austin also have another group they are in together called “sweet and low” along with a few others.
Tim has released an album called “Pieces of Me” where he harmonizes with himself as he does all the parts to the songs on the album which are all songs from 50-60’s doo whoop songs.
Austin has several new song releases just in the past few months.
And Chance sings with the “hound and the fox” and a member of the “street Corner Syphony”
This is why people told you not to watch Mayday until you sort of understood their vocals! Now you need to watch "Mayday Live", "9-5 beatboxing breakdown" and "Joy to the World Hosannah" for more surprises. One of the things I love about Home Free is that you're never sure what they'll do next. Love your channel & analyses!
PS - For originals, see "If I Met You Now", "Off the Grid", Everlasting Ground" & "I'll go First" on Austin's channel; "Remember This", "Champagne Taste" on HFs (among lots of others).
Chance is no surprise at BASSIST competence - He was the Bass singer in "Street Corner Symphony " group
A song with surprises. Tim who goes tenor, Austin and Rob who also hit different notes than usual, the inhuman vocal percussion from Adam and as a great end to the surprises the incredible bass of Chance. Simply fabulous
What a lovely and succinct summary 👌
@@SirHairless 😊
There are FIVE STRONG VOICES IN THIS ENSEMBLE - Cam is great (looking too) but, HER ONE VOICE CANNOT MATCH HARMONY like this. Magic is not too strong a word ! Love it. ( Chance can get down the Keyboard far left side !) GBjj
They all have such range and beautiful voices! Those A Cappella groups don’t make me miss musical instruments at all, and I’m a pianist... Thanks one more time. You are so on point. 🤗
🎹🎶 Thanks, as always!
At the 2016 CMA (County Music Awards), Cam interviewed HF and they teased the release of this song. They didn’t sing any of it, but they told her to be watching out for one of her songs. 😊
Always enjoy your reviews. If you want to review one of their originals, they put one out last year, written by Austin (their high tenor) called "Playing with Fire," that is paired with some stunning videography. Also think you would deeply enjoy the harmonic talents in "Helplessly Hoping" (a Crosby Stills & Nash cover) and just revel in the wonderful harmonies and bass of "Brothers In Arms" (a Dire Straits cover). Also, as a classical musician, you might enjoy Rob and Austin teaming up to sing "Nessun Dorma" (I think that one is titled "Two Country Singers Try Opera").
Yes! I really want Sir H. to analyze Helplessly Hoping ❤
You're one of the few reactors who pick up on the fact that HF do the song in the same key as the original - done by a female. 👍 Well done.
I recommend anyone who reacts to HF that they listen to the original songs before listening to HF's cover.
Glad you noticed the guys chose to sing this in its original key as sung by Cam, a female country singer. Just proves their lack of having a female in the group is no detriment--they just let their profundo BASS handle it! 🤣
LOVE the versatility of our amazingly talented fellas!! 🥰. (The addition of Chance and his lower range to the group freed Tim up to showcase his amazing 5-octave range a lot more!) Every member of Home Free could absolutely be a solo ⭐ star ⭐ but their harmonies together are MAGIC!! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
#HomeFree
If you want to view an original. Playing with Fire is written by Austin. Complete with Fire dancers in video.
Tim mentioned that his voice "dropped" rather late and he actually trained long as a tenor and he kept his upper range resulting in a stunning 5 octave range. Chance was actually singing bass with his previous band, now he takes it over whenever Tim takes lead.
This song is one of my favorites. So glad you waited to react to it. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original.
I’ve heard many reactions and analysis’ to this sound. You bring more, just more. I haven’t the words. Thank you.
That's very kind of you to say - thank you!
If you haven't heard them do "Helplessly Hoping" yet, it's well worth a listen.
Oh - and for Home Free originals, there are quite a few. Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget, Full of Cheer, Remember This, What's the World Coming To, Love Me Like That, What's Left of My Heart. Lots more!
Thanks for the reaction! I love the technical details. For more of Tim's upper register I would suggest some of his solo projects like "Why do Fools Fall in Love" and "Stay/Will You Still Love me Tomorrow".
Thanks for the suggestions!
Bit of a shocker, eh? Chance has an amazing voice. This is my second favorite song from HF. PLEASE react to my top fave "Helplessly Hoping". The visual is as stunning as the music. As always, thanks for all you do for us! You're the bomb!
🙏 Thank you
Playing With Fire my favorite original
Not many people realize that there is nobody clapping. That is all done by Adam. I should like to request "Brothers In Arms" next. I believe your hairless head will do a 180 degree twist. Great reaction, Sir Hairless.
Crazy! I think I should assume going forward that any and every noise will be Adam 😅 Brothers In Arms is on my list for the future - can't say exactly when it'll come, but it will! Thank you
I appreciate your describing musically and mechanically what we are hearing from this fine group. You greatly enhance the experience!
I, so agree - his ear for voices and the software used to visually show us is second to none. Thank you Sir. Chuck in NE Kansas
🔥🔥🔥🎼 .. you certainly will have to experience, "Blue Ain't Your Color" ... by Keith Urban a very talented Country Music star who hails from Australia. In the Home Free version , Rob's vocals are highlighted. ... 🔥🔥
Love, love LOVE your breakdown and your ending BASS! I get greater appreciation of these performances, imagining the chromatic changes and the dynamic structure of vocal ensemble passages.
🙌🎶
my recco would be Misty Mountains Cold with Peter Hollens followed by will you still love me tomorrow/stay, those two will give you an idea just how good Tim is. For Home Free playing with fire is my favorite original and Helplessly Hoping is by far my favorite cover it is pure ear candy
Love that you immediately picked up on them singing in the same key as Cam! Love this song thanks for reacting to it really enjoyed it! ❤
And Tim singing it made it all the more surprising 😅
Your joy in music is so contagiously beautiful!! Stunning reactions.
😄🎶
Yes I agree!
If you wanna hear more of Tim singing high harmonies for no reason other than that he can, check out It's A Great Day To Be Alive and Stop, Drop, + Roll.
Admiring Chance - and you finding a bit of fun when your voice is clearly under the weather :)
Your analysis of music is so enjoyable. I especially enjoyed that you were shooketh by Tim’s falsetto.
Haha thanks! I was, indeed, shooketh
You always point out something I haven't noticed before - thanks for that! 🍟
☺
You can't go wrong with anything Home Free does. If you want fun go with The Butts Remix and Sea Shanty Medley. Deep? Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood and Everybody Walking This Land. Great collaboration? Elvira, Zombies vs Hillbillies and I'm Alright.
Thanks for the recommendations!
@@SirHairless you're welcome. I must say I really enjoy your reactions!. I've binge watched them all while getting ready for my next art show. I hate having to wait now
@@blairkimberlin3447 Cheers! I hope your art show goes well!
If you checked out snow globe. You have done an original. This is Tim's song.
you can't not love Tim :) please react to sea shanty from Home free - there are a few nice low notes from Tim there as well; yours sound pretty good too :)
Was so unexpected! I'll need to listen to his solo stuff!
Haha I don't think I'll ever be able to reach those lows again (unless I get severely ill) 😂
Your videos are between the best on the entire web, thank you a lot, you give us a lot of information, and your capacity to hear almost everyting is incredible. I need to see/hear your videos several times to take all the information that you bring to us. Thank you again
Thank you so much!
thanks, great breakdown, as always. another one with some unexpected bits: "Austin Brown & Tim Foust sing "My Maria" in the Backyard!"
I used to not like country music but over the years it has changed quite a bit. It has changed to more pop country, not so much that twangy sound I dislike so much. Home Free is a great example of that change . I like many more contemporary country songs. Keith Urban not only can sing but is an amazing guitarist.
Once more your analysis was awesome. I can’t believe you can sing that low and I know you can sing high when you demonstrate notes in your analysis. Well done as usual 👏
Cheers!
If you like Chance's voice, a song I absolutely love, that he sings the lead in (and that has a fantastic video) is "I Can't Outrun You" by Trace Adkins.
Home Free is always full of surprises...also you sounded pretty good, down low !
That's an ill Sir Hairless lying in bed wondering if he'll live to see another day 😅
Love your work. Very informative and much appreciated! Blessings
Cheers!
Yessss!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Home Free is so much fun! Something interesting to me is that you can listen multiple times and hear something you didn’t “hear” before. Lots of times that is in different melodies in the BVs. Lots of quality music. Thanks!
Ha ha “I did it once-I was very very ill” 😂
So ill 🤧 I would say never again....but if lets me sing as low as Chance then maybe being ill isn't too bad 😅
😊 - a few recommendations- One of Tim's originals Snow Globe is gorgeous, Austin's Stargazer Lilies tribology particularly MR. Brothets in Arms, Helplessly Hoping, Sam Shanties medley for Covid, End of the Road.
Tim &Austin's My Maria,
Tim''s Will you still Love Me Tomorrow/ Stay.
Austin's Bring him Home.
One of the best examples (in my humble opinion) of Home Free's excellent 5 part harmony in a non-Christmas song has to be Brothers In Arms. Cold chills from beginning to end.
I look forward to hearing it!
I love how generous you are with sharing your musical knowledge - this video was really fun and interesting to watch, tks! And... hey there, Sir's low notes, you sound very nice!😄
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed ☺
You should've told that to ill Sir, would've lifted his spirits! 😂
@@SirHairless😆Hopefully the ill Sir will stay in the past and oblivious of how good his low notes sounded😂
I think that you would enjoy listening to Tim’s solo work on his own channel
Man! Have I waited, and looked forward to this one... Now to dive in, and see if you had as much fun as I expect.
Love your reactions!
+1 for the ill bass notes at the end! :D
Wow, great reaction. Bravo, sir.
😀
One of their many masterpieces
so nice to see someone truly enjoy music. awesome reaction
You will find the Bass changed on this one. I would love you to react to Voctave. They are incredible. There are 11 members and there Soprano 1 and tenors will blow your mind. I really enjoy your reactions as I always learn something new
Mr Chance delivering the bass-y needs indeed
Ohhhhh, for an Awesome Home Free original song….”PLAYING WITH FIRE”…..Austin wrote it….the fire dancers are Great 🔥🔥🔥🔥💗💗🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️
Tim’s 5+ Octave Range…Is pretty Amazing 🙃💗‼️
Oh, for another fun Tim tenor…..go to Austin Brown’s solo channel…they do Brookes & Dunn….”MY MARIA”….Tim takes the tenor lead …along with Austin, …friend of many years…Chris Chatham &, Tim’s brother in law in …bass guitar), &, Austin’s piano player friend …. 💗💗‼️…you’ll Like it ‼️
First reactor to compare and notice that they sang it in the same key as Kam.
I was surprised at Chance in their cover of Can't Stop the Feeling.
#HOMEFREE......wow!
So glad you heard the original so you can see what they are doing here. It baffles many people because they have no clue that it was sung in Cam's original Key.
You might dig The Bass Gang if you want to fall in love with even more versatile and talented bass vocalists. Hoist the Colours is wild, and then Arabian Nights for a very different sound. Tim has collaborated with members of this gang of basses. Love the channel and all the PTX & Home Free stuff!!!
What a great song to illustrate HF's ability to have any singer do whatever's needed ( needs must ), and they can tailor the music itself as desired. Thanks for letting us in as to what you feel as well as think about the music.
I loved my 7th grade music teacher because he taught me to listen to music with my eyes closed and "feel" it. He was not wrong.
Nice LOW notes Sir! LOL. This song is a real bop for me. This is not the acapella we grew up with, it's so fresh and new! Pentatonix, Home Free and VoicePlay are giants in the acapella world! I love your reaction to Tim's very high range and then your physical gut reaction to Chance's low low. Sweet! I also love how you described music as not always having to be seen as black and white dots but colorful and fluid. It's an excellent analogy. Music is infinitely more than black and white. There are innumerable twists and turns it can take, and you point out every one on every song you react to. Thank you for your playfulness and immense knowledge. Yours is my favorite reaction channel.
😂
Thank you very much! Thanks, as always, for your comments and for watching! 👌
I love that you can legitimately explain.
You remind me of my 7th grade music teacher.
He made us listen to classical music with our eyes clossed.
I still listen to music with my eyes closed.
Great reaction, which, as usual, left me surprised and much better informed.
I look forward to you covering "Colder Weather"(my favourite harmony-wise), and "Helplessly Hoping", one of their most pared-back and yet haunting performances.
"In The Blood" also makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Thanks.
Tim sings in the same key as CAM - the Original artist they are covering - she is BEAUTIFUL ... sings like a bird .... and SO DOES the Bassist in Home Free = Tim Foust !!! The man is a maverick to be sure. All in this band are EXCEPTIONAL .... in fact it is the standard for the Band .... when any can LEAD the the song and also sing harmony like it was a tone generator - it blows thy mind ! Love this vocal group. Home Fry for a few years now. Your channel is very good as well, Sir Hairless, GB jj
I really like Homefree, but PTX is my fave a capella. However, I love love LOVE Tim Foust!!! I didn't know he had that range either. Amazing. Matt Sallee also has a higher range as well, and I first heard it in PTX Hallelujah live. I'm an Avi Kaplan fan, but as far as a bass singer Tim is my favorite. Another bass singer that can sing incredibly low is Geoff Castelucci, VoicePlay. I dont think youve reacted to that a capella group yet. They fall in 3rd place, for me, my taste, however they have a huge fan base. First time I've heard this song. Loved it, and your insight, as usual.
Before joining Home Free Adam Chance was the bass singer in the a cappella group Street Corner Symphony. Then he joined a group that already had a bass singer, so he was officially the baritone/bass, and already had a singer named Adam, so he goes by Chance when singing with Home Free. He still goes by Adam Chance when singing solo or with The Hound + The Fox and he still blesses us with that wonder bass voice.
This song comes under the heading of expect the unexpected. Great analysis.
My second favorite Tim Up High song after Mayday is My Maria in Austin's backyard.
Thnx for reacting!
Thanks for watching!
This is one of my favorites, and not just because of the switch ups. The vocals are so lovely that you forget it's a sad song. I personally like it better than Cam's version, although her video was very cool. Thanks for doing a reaction/ analysis -- the pleasure on your face said it all. And kudos for immediately realizing it was in the same key as Cam's. Eagerly waiting for your next HF reaction/ analysis.
Oh my goodness have you heard them do “Brothers in Arms “ now that is a piece of magnificent musical artwork by Homefree
Not yet, but it's on my list!
@@SirHairless
Good deal - you will be impressed
So now you should check out some of the videos they put out during quarantine. They were all locked down in their own homes, hundreds of miles apart. From Texas, to Tennessee, to Minnesota. They each recorded their own parts and then it was edited together. Some pretty amazing stuff. Their song title "Quarantine" was particularly amusing.
Awesome reaction love your break downs. Check out Snow Globe it an original Tim wrote and he is in his upper range it’s insane.
You're last low notes made me smile. The b flat at the very end made me laugh. Great reaction as always.
😅 Haha thanks!
ANOTHER GREAT ANALYSIS! MORE HF PLEASE. THANK YOU!
🙏
I was surprised after scrolling through your videos, that you have not yet reacted to the Nightwish performance of Ghost Love Score, at Wacken 2013. I think you will fall in love with the voice of Floor Jansen. Nightwish is a deep and wonderful rabbit hole to go into.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've seen the name Nightwish pop up a few times now
Brothers in Arms is a MUST!
Adam is making the clap with voice. He's amazing and if you get a chance to see them live, you'll be blown away.
😵
Well, young one, you hear ‘brothers in arms’ and comrades but I hear heartbeats beating in desperation. I truly look forward to your analyses and delightful reactions. M’aidez!
I enjoy your videos very much, hoping to see you react to Home Free How Great Thou Art…the first HF video I ever watched and made me an instant fan.
🎼🔥 Hello there Sir ... I took trip with you through Pentatonix, and also Home Free today. Your insight is quite fascinating. If you want to understand the magic of Home Free, then you really should react to "Man Of Constant Sorrow" . If you are not familiar with this song , it was made famous in the George Clooney movie - "O Brother Where Art Thou". I hope you listen to the song first before you experience the masterpiece by Home Free. ..... enjoy !
Thanks for the recommendations!
Now, you need to check out Tim's channel & his blend of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay"!❤
I think that was great, to include a brief clip of the original. I already knew Home Free had amazingly performed their version in the same key as that of a female singer. But hearing the quick sample made that part of it fully clear. And don’t worry, basically everyone is caught flat-footed when Tim comes in, singing in tenor. I think it was after this rendition was released that word got out about how broad his range is. The cat was out of the bag. And for me, I especially like Rob’s counter-melody lines that kind of create the outro.
🙌
Thank you so much for that "diagram" you did...now I finally understand what they are doing there.😊 Always appreciate your reviews and learn something new each time. As others have stated...Helplessy Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Seven Bridges Road and Brothers in Arms are all great choices for more Home Free harmony.😊
I’m so glad you knew Tim’s range before listening to this song. Many reactors listen to this song too early and say ok, Tim’s the tenor…and we have to say no, Tim’s the bass! It’s the old switcheroo! We don’t usually see Chance doing a bass solo. We know he can sing bass but this was a fun switch. A lot of fun to hear/see the stomping too. Home Free is so creative and those harmonies are exquisite. Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, What We Ain’t Got, I Can’t Outrun You (lots of bass - Chance lead), Yours, Winter Song. Originals would be Give Me a Sign, Snow Globe, Playing with Fire. So many good songs. Good reaction SH!
This is Tim's arrangement, he planned on Austin and Rob as lead. But when Austin heard Tim's demo tape he insisted that Tim sings lead too :)
Outstanding reaction. Like the way you detail all the parts yet keep it moving!
😄
Listening to this and "Skull & Bones" after that should astound listeners even more
The Man behind the chorale corral of harmony horses ...= Producer / arranger - Darren Rust ! ( Yes, Adam Rupp does some too. ) GBjj
🐎🎶
I realize CHRIS (Adam's Brother) indeed did this arrangement - he was the driving force behind Home Free ! jj
Man of constant sorrow is another amazing cover they sing
I'd love to hear you react to Brother by HF!
I've added it to my list!
Love your reaction. Chance sang bass with his former group “Street Corner Symphony”. They came in second place in season tow of “The Sing-Off”. Pentatonix won season three and Honey Free won season four. Voice Play was also in Season 4.
❤🤠#HomeFree. Amazing 😍. Great, wonderful reaction.🏠🍟
Your reactions are great as they are always original and professional. Could you please react to Angelina Jordan, who is a prodigy similar to Dimash and Diana Ankudinova. Her rendition of 'How Great Though Art' 5 years ago at the age of 13, in the same key as the Elvis original, is memorable.
If you would like to see Tim’s more I’d Tim’s range I would suggest starting with his solo project Will you still love me tomorrow/stay. It is an incredible peace.
Thanks, it's on my list for the future!
This is awesome. Everybody gets shocked about Tim's High's and Chance's lows. This was so well put together. Love you reaction and breakdown. ♥
And also Tim Foust’s range is really put on display with the song stay
Talking about brotherhood and comeraderie, you need "Brothers in Arms" and "Brother" on your Hpme Free to-do list.
The first is a Club for Five arrangement of the famous Dire Straits Faulklands War song. It's awful 😢, but in an effective way.
The second is a more pop cover. But the video is so distracting 😂 it's hard to think about the music. It's very fun.
