- This is my second favorite country song of all time, and as always, @HomeFreeGuys absolutely knocks it out of the park! I enjoyed this reaction so tremendously, it genuinely brought so much life into my tired teacher soul. They kept it basic when it needed to be, and also knew exactly when to bring in some fancy changes to the original piece. A masterclass in acapella perfection, and IMO their most underrated cover so far. If you know of any other covers you think are UNDERrated, let me know, I'd love to take a dive into some of their lesser known catalogue!

Now that you have seen this, watch "colder memory lapse" it is short...but absolutely hilarious!
Since you beat me to it…I’ll just second that.
Totally, please!
So true, need a laugh, watch this.
All in favor?
Gosh yes!
Their synergy is amazing. Each one is a phenomenal artist in his own right, but when they sing together, damn. Magic happens.
They sang this one on season 4 of the sing off. Beautiful song.
I must be a freak, because I love bass AND tenor voices and everything in between. HF kind of makes you fall in love with the voice of whomever is singing the lead all over again. I guess if it is done well my ears freak out no matter the range.
I’m a freak like that too! I love all ranges of voices! Home Free is so amazing at choosing their leads and harmonies! I love them 😍
Oh no I can hear it but Home Free's volume is low. Of course I'm here to see how you react to it.
Now that you've watched this one do Colder Weather Lapse Live it's actually funny lol
They released Workin for a Living done in '82 by Huey Lewis and the News it has the movie Anchorman vibe. It is funny and very, very good and a mind BLOWING part. Have a great weekend.
You have to see Colder Memory Lapse. Disclaimer though, you are never going to be able to hear this song (even the original Home Free one) without smirking. But Stacy's right, it is pretty good. Plus, this was pre Chance, so you get to hear a slightly different arrangement.
Love your reactions. To me, the end of this song is perfect, the way everyone else drops out for Rob - who l always think has the warmest, most soulful and downright safest voice l have ever heard. Rob's voice sounds like home.
I agree 100%
One of my favorite underrated songs is Dreamer, It's an original and Rob sings lead.
My favorite Home Free song as well
I adore Dreamer. ❤️🥰
I thought of a few more underrated songs. What We Ain't Got, This is how we Roll & I've seen
These are all great ones
@@carinalindberg7377 And I love the version of it with Texas Hill!
They not only are ama,amazing, but their normal arranger, Darren Russ, is also world class and well known in Nashville as a great arranger. So glad you reacted to this Home Free CLASSIC.
Not to detract from their vocal talent, but i would like to elevate the arrangement and the vocal mix roles as being super important parts of their overall success. what a team, what a group!
Yes! Doesn't Rob's angelic soft voice just grab you and give you a big hug? I LOVE IT!!!
Maybe my hearing is just off, but I'm pretty sure that they just double-layered Austin at "When you're in the lost and found", because I have listened to it over and over again, but especially the twang sounds an awful lot like Austin and also Chance isn't singing words in the video at that point
I agree.
I concur.
How interesting! I’ll have to go back and check it, I didn’t realize they would layer one voice twice on the main vocal line like that. Must be why it confused me 😋
Its definitely Austin
What he said.
Even when the song you're reacting to isn't super complex arragement-wise, your enthusiasm for the music is infectious and I love it! And you're great at picking out those little things that make the songs so great and explaining why they do that, which I really enjoy! Thanks so much for your reactions and I hope you do get more discovered so that you can do more videos.
Home Free is very respectful to the source material in all their covers while still putting their own personalities into it.
This song hits home in a way I can't explain. It was released when I was 18 and I had gotten stuck in a snow storm on my way home to my at the time girl the first time I heard it
Dropping out the hard harmonies at the end leaving Rob bring us back to the beginning creating a whole loop which is so emotionally satisfying.
I had to go check the CD, but the arrangement credit on this one is Tim Foust.
thank you, I thought so but I wasn't sure so I didn't want to say anything
Agreed that this is in among my absolute favorite covers they've done
The softness with Rob, the amazing baritone by Chance, Tim's bass lines, Adam's amazing beat boxing. And AUSTIN KICKING IT OUT OF THE ARENA with his voice!!! That man's tenor is the best. I absolutely LOVE his voice.
I grew up in a singing family (I myself am adopted and am so jealous lol) and appreciate their harmonies. Like, they are on another LEVEL with the harmonies they produce. Mind blowing. I end up like you, just sitting there with my eyes closed, enjoying the blend of their voices so much.
Great reaction too! I appreciate that you were dead tired but still chose to do this reaction. It paid off eh!
Looking forward to more Home Free (and voice play!) reactions! Thank you!
I love ❤️ love your reaction ❤️ , your comments help me to enjoy more the acapella music specially Home Free ‘ songs and Voiceplay ‘s songs . Thanks 🙏 a lot . I appreciate very much your reactions . Love from Japan 🇯🇵
Austin sounds double tracked in the bridge section with him on both lead and high harmony.
I have to listen again but I think that's Austin and Rob. They can sound similar in mid tenor.
I agree it's most probably double tracked
Thanks for reacting :) I always come back to you, because you know what you're talking about AND are enthusiastic about what you're hearing ^^
They dropped a new one yesterday - Working For A Living, a cover of a Huey Lewis and the News song from the 1980s. It is such damned fun!! You won't believe Adam's harmonica solo done without an actual harmonica.
I love your reactions to Home Free! They are, in my opinion the best group singing today, and not just a cappella. I always llearn something from you! Thanks!
The guys have such fantastic voices, very nice. The background music is absolutely perfect as always and then Tim's bass - it's so good. Thanks for your reaction, love it.
Thank you so much !!!! I have listened to this song dozens of time and you have made this an all new song for me. Your pleasure and excitement so enchanced my love of Home Frees version of this song. I am truly enjoying your Home Free journey !!
I. Love. This. Song. And I really love to watch your reactions, even when you're tired. And I love Home Free. I've never really warmed up to other a cappella groups, don't know why exactly, maybe because Home Free is a all male - group? Anyway, you always give me even more reasons to appreciate these guys, by explaining all the cool arrangement stuff etc. Thank you❤️
There’s a live version of this (not the song off version) which is just gorgeous, and shows how close their live performances are to the recordings. It also has a pretty spectacular run from Austin in the bridge. Probably not worth a full reaction but worth a watch
I'm so glad you reached to this! I needed a little boost from you and Home Free! Your excitement is contagious!!!
This song is so close harmonically and so beautiful in the vocal shifts. The smooth transfer of lead voices is amazing. Thanks for your reaction. This is a favorite and I’m glad you also love it. You should react to Home Free cover of “Crazy” with Austin leading. What a great tribute to the classic.
It's obvious how much you truly love acapella music. Your reactions are so animated but also so genuine that you're just a joy to watch. Love ya!
Mortius, I always love your Home Free reactions❣️ This is probably my third time watching your reaction to this gorgeous song covered by Home Free 😊 I love your reaction each and every time!!!
Amazing reaction, Mortius. Thank you! 🥰🙏 It's Austin layered you are hearing, its in a couple of places. That ending always gets me too! Have you seen the live recording of this song when they get very.. uhm, how shall I put it..., real? 😂😂😂
This was one of the songs that they sung on The Sing Off, you may need to check it out. Austin use to sing the verses that he and Chance sang. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction.
Awesome song by HF. Especially love your reactions, you explain different aspects of the song. Many other reactors don’t do this. Thank you and keep up the great job.👍👍👏👏👏👏🎶🦋🎵🦋
one of my favorites bc they each are featured. Great reaction thanks for sharing.
Now you know Home Free is energizing to the nth degree., so whenever you are tired, just react to some Home Free music. Second reaction in a row I have see them snap you out of your tired funk. Cheers!
I just love your reactions, Mortius. This one is definitely one of their best. Thanks for all your hard work!
Best reaction yet. Loved it. Love this group. We don't do a lot of music theory, choir etc.. in our education in UK so nice to learn new things about the technical skills too.
Thanks for being a teacher!! Respect!!! Love your analysis of HF! Incredible!!
Oh, hon! I absolutely love this reaction! Thank you for making my day!
I'm so glad you did this third Reaction ... I enjoyed it so much!!
Love your reaction. I look forward to each & every one. Your enthusiasm is captivating 🤩
Hi Mortius! This is one of my favorite songs, too, and unsurprisingly the boys cover it beautifully!
And thank you for the fantastic reaction and analysis- you put a huge smile on my face with your exuberant joy in this music. I can't stay tired or blah after watching you, so thanks for that.
I hope you're having a good school year so far.
Oh man I just find your cannel but I love you reaction to many and even more of the details that defines the group/singer. Keep it up!
I love ❤️ love your reaction. Thanks 🙏 a lot , because of your comments I enjoyed more the acapella music, specially Home Free ‘s songs and Voiceplay ‘s songs . Love from Japan 🇯🇵
You did a great job on this one, Mortius!! Love your reaction!! Thank you!💕
Another great reaction - thank you so much.
This is just Phenomenal As always!!!
You are a fun reactor to watch, thank you so much.
Enjoyed the reaction and analysis of one of my favourites.
This is definitely in my top 5 too! It's such a gorgeous cover
Amazing reaction! So glad you did it! Our guys are absolutely phenomenal and never fail! This is breathtakingly beautiful!♥️🍟
You always have the best reactions.
this song returns now. it's time again Mortius. you have to do it.
I 2nd the comment below about looking up the live Austin Forgot the Words...hysterical.
I'm continuing my Mortius morning. They sung this on the sing off, it was awesome! Love your reaction💖
Loved your reaction much appreciated. I have never heard this Home Free cover song.....
No one does 🎶 “baa aaa bee” 🎶 like Austin!
Great reaction Mortius! 💕
Beautiful song and arrangement! And a fantastic reaction! I always feel that I learn something new when I listen to you!
This was one of my favorites
This song was actually arranged by Chris Rupp, the original founder and brother of Adam, before Chance joined the group. Before Chance joined, Austin use to sing the second verse and there are actually funny concert clips of him occasionally forgetting the words.
You rolled up your sleeves for this one. You're a beautiful person.
I love your amazement whenever you find something new. I thought I was the only one that did that. lol. I love these guys. #HOMEFREE.
The "Magic" of Homefree...they aren't as "extra" as other groups...they take an ultra-talented five acapella male vocalists and let them go "all out, no holds barred" and the result is...everything is absolute eargasm!!!
Spoiler alert for why they like your reactions...YOU'RE ALSO AN ACAPELLA VOCALIST!!!
Mortius, you slay me with your reactions to Home Free! I love really your enthusiasm. Please do as many HF reactions as you can because Home Fries will be faithful to you. I subbed because of HF, and have been with you since! This song is also one of my top 5 country songs! Thank you so much.
Loved the reaction. Loved the song. One of my musical mantras is "If you want to be heard, play loud. If you want them to LISTEN, play SOFT." Used it to perfection here. Chris Stapelton's solo version of his "Whiskey And You" (particularly the live 2016 CMAs ... the opening of that has some background on Chris and his philosophy on music which is worth hearing, too!) is another prime example of how dynamics enraptures an audience. Keep the Home Free comin'!
Wow. That ending is soooo what the song is about. Beautiful.
So glad you rnjoyed it
So was your mind blown? Home Free always puts me in a good mood.
Fantastic watching you react to a song you know so well! Comparable in beauty (of the original song and of the cover) is Home Free's "In the Blood". Definitely in my top five HF faves.
Mortius, your reactions - your enthusiasm - so enjoyable, and uplifting! One of Home Free's songs that doesn't get as many reactions as it deserves imo, is This is How We Roll. If you've seen the off-beat Coen Brothers movie The Big Lebowski, you'll recognize the characters they portray, and also why it takes place in a bowling alley. Lots of fun, lots of talent showing off.
Yeah, this is a studio recording. They double tracked Austin a few times in this recording.
Austin is double tracked in the bridge just like he was in Crazy for the higher harmony.
Rob sang this in front of a live TV audience for his first time when they were in that contest that they won in season 4
I'd love to see you react to the LIVE version of 9 to 5! It will give you lots to talk about! The official video is good, but the LIVE version has some extra goodies in it! Loved your reaction as always!
Good job breaking down the song. I like the reactors who use the music videos to teach.
I see that you do have other comments suggesting you so this, but the "Colder Weather Memory Lapse" is short and hilarious, I would love to see what you think of it. This is a beautiful song, but even hearing the normal one and randomly thinking of it I can't stop laughing. I'm so happy you reacted to this one, it's so great, always a pleasure to see your reactions. Also, if you wanted to know, they sang this on The Sing-off(sorry if you remember/know already) with Austin singing Chance's parts.
It’s interesting to see the updated video. All of the others included Chris Rupp instead of Chance. Now I need to go find this version and binge for a while.
It was Rob who originally sang solo on this song in the Sing Off & HF were strongly discouraged to have him do so. The organisers wanted Tim or Austin for everything but the guys stuck by Rob & to their guns & it was great. Do enjoy this later version with Chance though. Great reaction.
I agree with your tangent.
I know this is an old reaction, i just started watching you. But if you have not see this from the Sing Off yet. You really should! It gets better, because you actually hear a little nervousness in Robs voice!
So far, love your reactions! =)
nice catch on the swapping of soloists with Adam and Austin. You have a good ear.
This song goes all the way back to when Home Free was on The Sing-Off, back when Chris Rupp was still there. The Sing-Off version is arranged slightly different, but it still starts off with Rob taking lead. Also oddly enough this was one of the songs they had the most critiques from the judges. But honestly, I think the judges just had to find something to comment negatively on, because everything else was amazing. You should check it out just to see the difference.
I managed to miss the whole teen tenor craze that happened. I've always really loved the deeper voices. But now as I'm getting older I've realized I'm starting to have an issue with hearing bass notes. That being said, I wish the volume on the music was just a tad louder. Great reaction!
Have you heard Austin's latest release? If not would you please check out? It's short and simple but has a couple of things that is rarely heard from him! See if you can hear what I'm talking about specifically? It is so BEAUTIFUL! " Oh DANNY BOY "
Two years earlier, Rob sang the lead when they performed it on "The Sing-Off." Have you not watched any of those videos?
The verse Chance sang was, before he joined the broup, the one Austin would perform live and famously forgot the lyrics to. One of their biggest viral performance videos.
This is so good. There is a funny version live where Austin forgets the words…look it up..it’s so funny. Great reaction but could you put your volume of the video up a bit? It was a little low. Glad you enjoyed it. They dropped another song yesterday called Workin’ for a Livin’. It’s a funny one.
You’re right that one is hilarious. Homefree still sounds good even if the goof up 😊
Thank You
You know alot about them
This is a Great SONG
We would like to hear it too. Turn up the volume!
Peter Barber and The Charismatic Voice channels are great analysis channels, both are classically trained opera singers and go into music theory and anatomy of the throat and mouth and stuff.
Love your analysis, reaction.
Austin just sparkles or shall I say is scintillating?
Rob is warm honey.
Thank you so much for another very good reaction. The guys are amazing. Now Stacey Smith below mentioned to watch...Home Free-Colder Weather Lapse - What We Were Thinking this last part was taken off but you don't need that...you will know when but you have to watch Tim's face...MistyLea filmed it...is a must...I promise
It's fair to assume that Chris Rupp arranged it; he arranged most of their Sing-Off entries.
If I remember correctly, when they sang this on the Sing-Off Rob also had the lead on this.
I'm a new subscriber who appreciates your great musicality and resultant commentary, just great! Could you review Home Free doing Dreamer? At 76! discovering this group added a new dimension to my life: that's even greater. This song helped me though ending, probably, a bad family relationship with the song line of "it ain't over yet"! I'm looking forward to what YOU make of it.
No matter what they do it's great.
ZBB has made an impact. And I love HF!
i would love for you to react to home free finale song...i want crazy..to see them nail it under that pressure is amazing..and tim hits that f# 1 i believe ooooooooooh yes...he nailed it
Hey Mortius. Great reaction. One of my favorite Home Free covers as well. Have you heard their "Moonshine" cover?
Listen to HomeFree guilty pleasures derailed they each have a vocal solo including Adam Rupp
If you've had a hard day, watch the live video "Colder Weather Memory Lapse" or "Funny Moments and Band Intros" - they'll both cheer you up (and also provide a lesson to tell your students about how to keep going during a performance no matter what happens).
Before Chance joined the group Austin did that part as well. Check out their live version where Austin forgets the lyrics. Absolutely harious. Maybe not for a review but just for your entertainment.
I may be wrong, but I believe that their cover of this on The Sing Off was when Jewel threw her vote behind Home Free for the season winner. That's just the way it appeared to me.
They were favored the whole run. But this and Ring of Fire were their best.
It's a beautiful song .Sung by a very talented group.
Love your reaction, and learn alot from them.
Thank you.
Just a comment not criticism, but if video volume was up just a little would be better able to hear what you are pointing out.
