- Man, this was just incredible! Home Free really knows how to take such a simple arrangement and perform it to absolute perfection, and it makes me giddy every time. Also, did you catch that thing around 1:13? :P

Wait what were those weird letters at 1:14… was that an editing error or something else?
Ayo??? Why did this get pinned WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
👀
Not an editing error ;)
I had ONE JOB and I screwed it up lolllllll
I made a typo for anyone confused. It's hard to see a Q and I forgot an F in teh fourth word. It should say:
"UIF "DPEF-CSFBLFST" DIBOOFM SF-PQFOT JUT EPPST UP UIF XPSUIZ"
He pins the ones he finds interesting, or means something to him.
The Righteous Brothers had a big hit with "Unchained Melody" in 1965. Home Free did such a beautiful rendition of this classic song. The video in prison is very fitting as this song was originally written for the 1955 prison film "Unchained". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or finishing his sentence and returning to his wife & family. The song focuses on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time".
I was a bit surprised, really, that you had not heard of this song, and didn’t know it was a cover! Please search for and listen to the rendition by the Righteous Brothers!
Arranger is usually Daren Rust the unofficial/official 6th member of HF.
This is NAGNIFICIENT!! IT is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!! HOME FREE took their arraignment all of the way back to the original THEME SONG IN THE ORIGINAL MOVIE!!! And, I am so glad they did. In the movie, that takes place in the late 1940's or early 1950's, a man is in prison and seperated from his wife...his love! He is writing her to tell her he may be gone for a very long time or eternally! It is so SAD and he is truelly grieving. The black and white film, the prison scene, the old typewriter, and that glorious sound of TIM FOUST takes us back to that "UNCHAINED" movie. Tim was sheer perfection! He was so wonderful and then Austin picks the song up after Tim has set it up! Austin was phenomenol, as always. These two guys were perfect for this song. It needed Tim to bring that depth of despair that the song calls for! And, man did he takes us there. I feel sad, lonely, and sick, missing my love because Tim did takes my feelings to that level. No other version has ever captured or even understood what the song required. Thank you, Tim and Austin for this beautiful rendition of "UNCHAINED MELODY". This is my favorite version of it now! Also, thank you for covering and reacting to HOME FREE! US, HOME FRIES, REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
the original song was written for a 1955 movie "Unchained" which was about a prisoner debating whether to escape or serve his time and eventually get to go back to his wife and family. The movie didn't do very well in the box office but the song was nominated for an academy award. I read on someone's comment that the arranger was Tim but I'm never sure if comments are correct.
@ Marg Fried I heard the same thing. Not for sure if that's correct but if it was Tim that might be him with a nod to the Doo -Wop style! Very clever and creative!
@@louisetemples7011 it makes sense that it was Tim but I have noticed many comments that get the facts wrong so I am always reluctant to repeat them without a warning.
@Marg Fried @Louise Temples I was lucky enough to see them in concert on February 17 and I asked Tim about the arrangement because I had seen it attributed to him. He told me that he did NOT do the arrangement. Darren Rust did.
@@susanhorn4325 thank you so much. I appreciate knowing the truth.
@@susanhorn4325Thank you Susan! I think Marg and I were both dubious. Great hearing that you got the correct info straight from Tim! Much appreciated Sister Home Fry!😃🍟
Was 5 when the movie came out and the perfect age 10 years later when the Everly Brother's had a hit with it.
You should listen to it, off screen.
Home Free hit it out of the park. Love these guys. They just can't do a bad song.♥️. CK out Amazed
You need to do an reaction to the original done by the Righteous Brothers. So many people do not realize how gifted those fellas were. Thanks again for covering Home Free!
Home Free has done it again. Everything was really great. They have interpreted the story behind the song well. Tim and Austin leads, the backgrounds, the Harmonies, the incredible beatboxing, the video with Adam's shadow, the feeling etc. So beautiful
That sound at the beginning was the paper feeding into the typewriter. That's what the old 5ime typewriters sounded like
Mortius, Austin's "Bring Him Home," is just beautiful. You will love it.
He loved* it 😉
This is incredible and I agree with you. It’s simplistic but perfect. It was originally written for a movie Unchained in 1955 about prison so the boys went back to the original roots. Loved the black and white film, the typewriter and words, Tim and Austin’s solos and loved those harmonies. Good reaction Mortius and loved your puppy!😀
They did such a good job, Chance killed it with the bass
ELLA IS AWESOME ! They all love those belly rubs and pop tarts & peanut butter !! Home Free knocks another home run for us !! You're reaction was one I was waiting for
I believe I read that Tim was the arranger for this one. Thanks for another great reaction
Darren rust did the arrangement, not Tim
Not sure, but their arranger and sound guy needs a lot more credit!
@@davidmorton8170 I agree with you that Darren Rust, their producer and frequent arranger deserves a lot of credit. He comes up with genius mashup ideas and fantastic arrangements for them. Tim told me (at a concert on February 17) that Darren arranged their version of Unchained Melody
@@susanhorn4325 I thought it was Darren but wasn’t sure. I see him in the background of a lot of their studio shots, and not to take away from the groups vocals, but he has an uncanny knack for pulling the most value out of the guys.
Home Free blew this one out of the water, as usual. Especially loved that lead up from Adam Rupp to Austin's high note, he has such a knack for bringing in what's needed without ever going overboard. As an aside, Avi Kaplan released his newest song this week, "All is Well" featuring Joy Williams that is just stunning. I don't remember you ever reacting to Avi and would love to see what you think.
Sometimes simple and basic is the hardest to do well. There is not a bunch of background to cover slips. When you are hanging out in the open and do it this well, it shows virtuosity cleanly. You are right simple does not mean boring! BTW give Ella a scratch or two from me. She seems like such a loving girl, you are blessed to have such a gentle companion for you and your wife to share.
Catch the bruises and black eye on Adam and chance, also the Shadows on the wall with Adam
Mortius, your passion and energy for music is fabulous to watch and so contagious. You make all these reactions so special. Thanks for all the hard work you do to produce these videos. Keep up the good work.
I agree! 😉
I agree, I always look forward to you your reactions. You should go back to this song in the morning when you’re rested and listen to the backing vocals again. They are very pretty and cascading.
Thanks! Austin's part here mimics his solo version of Unchained Melody he did last year that now has nearly 9 million views!! Incredible. Then the guys decided to do it together. Turned out awesome as they all do! Have you heard Austin do Tears in Heaven? Grab the tissues first! Take care.
Hi Mortius. I loved your reaction- they’re always so much fun. Darren Rust did the arrangement, according to Tim Foust himself.
That last sustained note and last chord.... Omg..... Went through my soul,and caused me to cry... SOOO BEAUTIFUL!
This came from the Movie Unchained Melody 1955 . The guy was missing his girlfriend and wrote this song while in prison.
I love Elvis's passionate version of this song ... but Home Free's rendition has a more modern , melancholy vibe to it ! Guess I've got two favorite versions now !
This came out mid February 2022. Austin's video with Steven Martinez came out mid January 2021. Exacty 13 months apart. Just a little tidbit I find amusing. Both fantastic renditions of a song I've heard pretty much all my life. Even before Ghost.
Mortius, observing the way you like Austin's "sustains", you should really check out his solo of "Bring Him Home" from Les Mis..
th-cam.com/video/NGP1nEG-OTQ/w-d-xo.html
It’s on my list for sure! I just have so many other videos on my slate right now that I’m not sure where to squeeze it in
@@officialmortius We understand the hectic schedule for sure! It's Extremely Beautiful and you will be So glad when you find the time to do it! ❤️ U Lot's!
I second this recommendation…. It is just spectacular
@@MommaWolf66 I second the second motion of recommendation! Superb
@@officialmortius if you do an extra squeeze to fit it in, YOU will not be disappointed
Nor will you be able to sit down, it’s that AMAZING
Thank you for your awesome analysis! I really enjoyed Adam Rupp’s acting and beatboxing in this video. Fantastic! Tim’s original Snow Globe is my favorite doo wop song!
Thank You for the great reaction, I knew you would like this one. They are just getting better and better, each video is so creative. I am guessing because of your reaction you have not seen Austin solo work of "Unchained Melody". It is Amazling good and has 8 plus million views. He has his own channel, please react to his "Bring Him Home".
The song is absolutely fantastic, a truly brilliant performance! The covers of Tim and Austin are already great individually, but together - WOW - phenomenal! The harmonies are incredible, and the ending is fire, phenomenal. I love these guys! Another great reaction, thanks for that!
Austin Brown also has his own rendition of this song on his channel.
This is an absolutely beautiful version of this song. In case you didn't know Austin did this on his TH-cam channel. Truly enjoy watching your reaction to this song. Ella is a sweet dog.
Hi Mortius, now that I'm over the shock of you not having heard this iconic song before, let me just say that I'm jealous of you for being able to hear it for the very first time! This was our "engagement" song a number of decades ago, and it's just as well that Home Free wasn't singing it, or I might have broken off the engagement in hopes of, well... you know. 😉 Love your reactions, btw.
I heard that Darren Rust arranged this song, this is why it has the doo-whap chorus in it. There was definitely a Tim Foust influence in there somewhere.
Commenters are going to get tired of hearing this …Tim told me that Darren arranged this one
This has also been sung by Tim and by Austin on solo channels. You should react to music on Austin’s channel, though not harmonies, you could analyze the singing techniques and music choices he is making. “Bring Him Home” was great. And sometimes he does sing with others like Austin and Tim on “My Maria”. Thanks for your reaction
Home Free did a brilliant job with this video. We are so fortunate to have many top tier a cappella bands making great music now.
You should check out the original of this sung live by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers in the 1960s! Bobby was in his 20s when he sang his #1 hit before a live audience, including his parents! It was flawless! And no auto tune or tricks. Just the amazing Bobby Hatfield & a microphone 🎤. 💕💞💕
Austin has a solo version of this also
Hey Mortius! Been hoping that you would do this one! When I saw your recent " Short " vid 🤯😆 I got so excited!
Home Free is absolutely BRILLIANT! PHENOMENAL! SUPERB! I love every single thing they do! They just hit differently than any other group. Each one of the guy's are so multifaceted and talented. I can't get enough of them! I enjoy your reactions so much and I really love you! Hope you are having a great weekend! God Bless You and your Mrs!
Sending love from South Georgia ❤️😃🍟
4:20 I might be VERY wrong, but I think that's a syncopated rhythm. The guys sound beautiful on this as always and your reaction is already so fun and I'm not even halfway through yet. You also have a very cute puppy 😍
This is spectacular in my opinion. I tear up and get chills every time I watch it. Between the music and the video. Oh, my heart. Home Free hits it out of the ball park again. Thanks for reacting to it.
I am shocked that you wouldn't know this song, as it's been around so long, & covered by so many artists. 🤔
But, what a great reaction as usual! You're so fun to watch 😆 & I love the breakdowns & detail. 😉🥰🥰
Thanks for the E5 visual! 🎼 Much easier to appreciate the musical note. (I'm a weird mix of audio-visual-doing learner.) Good reaction! BTW, I prefer Austin's solo version better, but HF is still good. I highly recommend you react to Austin singing Bring Him Home. Beautiful.
I'm flabbergasted that you'd never heard this before. I must be a lot older than you. The Righteous Brothers' version was gigantically popular when I was in high school. AND... have you seen Austin's solo version?
I really love the Bobby Hatfield (Righteous Brothers)version of this song but wow this is amazing. You should do a reaction to a young Bobby Hatfield's version. How Tim leads in with the bass is so different & the harmonies & damn it Austin is divine. Great reaction.
You need to check out the Stylistics version of this song. Lead vocal in falsetto! Beautiful doo-wop harmonies
Such powerful visuals and a remarkable version of the song ❤️
I know it hearkens back to the mid-century movie and they portray it spectacularly, but I do hate seeing our guys behind bars. 😕 However, they can definitely "emote" through their music/videos better than just about anyone else out there!! ❤️🎼🥰🎶❤️
They are doing this song in the Doo-wop style. They killed it!!!
You would probably love this being performed by the Righteous Brothers (it's on TH-cam). It was also featured in the movie Ghost (the pottery wheel scene).
I love the little details that you find. Tim did arrange it. Really like the handoff between Tim and Austin.
I think it was Tim and Austin together, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Darren Rust had something to do with it as well
Tim told me that Darren did the arrangement
@ Mortius Since you are an A Capella aficionado you might have heard of Darren Rust the Home Free producer and sometimes arranger, co-song writer, vocal instrumentalist ... Home Free extraordinare and referred to as the 6th member of Home Free by the guy's. He also is a member of a very popular and talented A Cappella group that was at their peak in the '90's & 2000's and still are performing just at a scaled back schedule, "THE BLENDER'S"! If you aren't familiar with them just Google them. They are highly acclaimed and regarded as one of the best groups of all time with multiple awards won. 😃
@Mortius To add to what Louise said, The Blenders released a song/video called One Last Song fairly recently (within the past couple years)…Darren wrote it and it’s so good. I didn’t really know a lot about the Blenders - I only learned about them through Darren’s connection to Home Free - but there’s a really good documentary on TH-cam about them.
@@susanhorn4325 Thanks 😊 that clears that up.
I am such a visual person, so I can hear so much more by watching your hand motions.
Loved Austin’s solo version of this, and didn’t expect them all to cover it. So glad they did!❤️
Great reaction. I love your enthusiasm and analysis. You absolutely must react to Austin's solo version of Bring Him Home. It is amazing! On another topic altogether, would you do a how to video to tie that very interesting knot that you sometimes have on your tie, please? I showed it to my husband and he would really like to try it.
Another great analysis. I like how HF gives a nod to the original.
This is amazing, however, you 100% need to hear Voiceplay's version it's just *chefs kiss*
Hi Mortius, I loved your reaction to this song! I really appreciate your explanations about the music and the harmonies, it opens my eyes to totally new aspects! And I wanted to say that normally the producer of Home Free is Darren Rust, but I do not know if he also produced this song!
This is my favorite version of this song that I have heard covered so far. (Sorry to the Righteous Brothers and even Voiceplay) I especially love them going back to the original prison setting that the song was written for. I never knew the original context for the song, but once I knew the lyrics made so much more sense. It is a simple arrangement, but it is perfectly done. I also immediately checked the credits immediately on hearing this one, and was disappointed that they didn't credit the arranger. The comments here are saying Tim? If that is true, kudos ×2 for the amazing Bass and arrangement. Also, your editor is hilarious, give them a raise!
Darren Rust did the arrangement. That’s what Tim told me when I saw them in concert on 17 February.
I know everyone is crazy about Austin's high tenor in this but......for me the OMG moment....was Timothy's starting off in that slow rich bass....this made the song for me. The whole song was arranged just right. The look and feel..perfect.
I’m really surprised at you, Mortius. I expected you to say something about the bell tones in the background when Austin’s solo started, especially the way they went ”da da da” downward on the first line and “da da da da da” down and up on the second. Then you paused it right there and said you don’t have much to say.
Awesome reaction! I love your enthusiasm for music and the way you break things down. This is an amazing version, please also react (or just listen) to Austin's solo version and the original by the Righteous Brothers, I think each version will blow your socks off, they are all amazing in different ways.
Oh wow, beautiful! And when Austin hits that note...CHILLS!!!! Love it!!!!!❤❤
Loved your reaction. Have you not listened to Austin Brown's single of this song? So dang good, would of swore you had. If not need to and Bring Him Home. ps: Love Ella!
Another masterpiece arraigned by Tim!!!!
Great and entertaining reaction, as usual! Love their cover! It’s simple, but elegantly and tastefully done! I do agree with you about the cinematography being up there with “Brothers In Arms”. The black and white is so classic! I always enjoy seeing your sweet pup, Ella! She’s beautiful!
Always love your reactions 🥰🥰
Idk if you've reacted to Austin's "Bring him home " but I highly recommend you do ❤
I love your dog 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Another great one from Home Free
Awe.... Bless your heart. You have been gobsmacked again by Home Free. Failed Music Theory? Who cares?? You have an innate and intuitive perception of harmonics. Love you!!
VoicePlay did a cover of this with John Pinto Jr and it’s amazing 🥰😉😊❤️
Check out Austin Brown's Bring Him Home
Great reaction. You are so much fun to watch, you react the way i am feeling when i hear HF. Keep up the great reactions!! And i just checked out how many HF reactions you have done. How have i missed you up until now??? Subbing.
Ella is so adorable 🥰🥺
Dude, you are getting into our SOUTHERN TONGUE!!! OUR O's sound like U's in places and some of our other vowels are the same. Just leave it alone, man. You can't do it or even understand it if you are not SOUTHERN!
It seems that you were tired during the recording. You used to give more thorough analysis, but this time you didn't say much. I always enjoy watching your reactions. I hope you can take a break and get some rest before making more videos.
It was a long and hard week, including a spurt of the chronic pain that I’ve mentioned before on the channel. I am rested and feeling much better now, and look forward to being back to myself for next week
@@officialmortius Sorry for your suffering. Take good care of yourself.
Your little lab mix is darling! I'm sure she gets the high-dollar dog food and Mason gets pop tarts lol!
You make reaction videos so much fun to watch!! Thank you for your incredible insight 🤠
Missed seeing you reacting to Home Free, it seems ages. You now need to get to Austins channel and also Tim's and let us know what you think of their latest videos, please x
So Glad you are reacting to this one ! Let's get to it woo hoo!
My piano break includes a TurboTax ad
Hi M. So glad you saw this. Was afraid you would fall too far behind with HF. Will see you for HF and Austin Brown.
You made me smile so much
Love your HF reactions!!❤️
Love your dog!
If you havent figured it out. The noise that irritated you so much in the beginning was the typewriter keys typing.
This was awesome
they sure know how to end a song!
Chance's makeup -black eye and split lip - are lost to most of those watching, hidden by the bars and shadows.
Yeah...that's waaaay good!
2 more new ones.
You should dip your toes into the metal world. For pure vocal reasons I'd say start with Iron Maiden. Then do the Big 4, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax.
If it was arranged by anyone but their producer Darren Rust, they would credit them.
Then I wish they would credit Darren Rust every time. Just seems like an obvious thing that shouldn't be left out. Mortius isn't the only nerd that stops a song to read the credits when they are impressed by an arrangement.
@@sarahereach
Anyone, Home Free has ever left uncredited has been that person's choice and not the group's. Normally, they find a way to give the people credit in interviews eventually anyways, but I think in Darren's case, since Chris left the band, so few arrangements have been done by anyone else that it's just repetitive to constantly list Darren Rust as the vocal arranger.
Fair enough I suppose, leaving people uncredited is just a pet peeve of mine (If that is an artists choice, that is different) In the case of if being repetitive, I personally think it is worth the space to do anyway, and people like me and Mortius are prime examples why. Not everyone is enough of a Home Fry to know who their regular arranger is. I definitely do appreciate those with the knowledge filling us in though.
Stealth puppy!
Believe it or not, as beautiful as this is... Austins solo cover of this is actually better, please check it out.
The background drops when the typewriter (noise) stops. Sorrry I got here so late.
Personally I don't see the reason for turning the song into yet another opportunity for Tim to sing doo-wop. The essential character of the song seemed to be in danger of being submerged. I have listened multiple times in the hope of liking it but apart from some pretty bell notes, it feels over-arranged. The video as video is amazing, however.
Try listening to Austin's version, dropped on his channel about a year ago. It's just Austin sitting at home with his long time musical partner Steven Martinez on guitar. Simple and stunning.
Hi, have a new genre for you. Check out ringmasters. They R an international championship quartet. You need to check out their video of you’ll never walk alone/climb every Mountain. It is truly epic!!!!!!!!!!!
Arranged by Darren Rust
Please check out
AUSTIN (brown) newly released
“BRING HIM HOME” by
Les miserables
How many pink shirts do you own? Lol Just curious.
I bought a second identical shirt when I started using it as my recording shirt so that if I got too sweaty in one I could switch 😅 But I only own the two
Different opinion here, you should have done a little research on the song then you would understand the video a little more. They did a fantastic job from start to finish.
Can you let it play more then 3 seconds???
🤷♂️
