Their covers are fantastic and they have some originals that are beautiful. If I can recommend, start with their "Sing Off" performances - a competition show they won. ruclips.net/video/7Hd3TtA-suo/видео.html
I love the history behind sea shanty. Sea shanties are songs that were sung by crew members of sailing ships to help them co-ordinate their efforts and keep them focused and motivated on the notoriously grueling tasks of the job. Their main purpose: to help workers synchronize their tasks, such as pushing or pulling at the same time when hoisting sails. Traditionally most were passed down the generations of sailors via word of mouth and not written down. "A-Roving," or "The Amsterdam Maid," is perhaps the oldest of the great capstan shanties, going back in time at least to 1630, but some some shantys reportedly go back as far as the 1400's! Its really an amazing verbal history of lingo of the times.
I have been womanfully holding in my nerd rage at people who think every maritime ballad or sailing song is a shanty. It's wonderful to see that someone else gets it and appreciates the rich history.
Austin is dressed very much like Sinbad, Tim of course Jack Sparrow (standing in his bro in laws boat) Rob more a new England seamen , Chase could be on Deadliest Catch, and Adam very little Mermaid lol but damn he kills on those castinets, hot damn. Love them
The Home Free logo in the corner IS a nod to TikTok along with the vertical video format. Sea shanties have been going crazy on TikTok for the past few months. Also Home Free separated the shanties on TikTok and they are encouraging people to duet them! How awesome is that!?!
Billy, Home Free premiered a new song on St. Patrick’s day 3/17/23 called Mississippi squirrel revival! It’s fun and it’s done like a cartoon, has a hysterical story line, about bringing a squirrel to church, and it’s hysterical! Love your reactions Billy boi
Billy so glad you enjoyed....Home Free did it again !!! They hit it of the park....and yes Adam's beatboxing was outrageous, he did those castenet sounds in Santiana at the end...castenets....holy moly !!! thank you Billy and keep on Home Free as much as you can brother ! I loved this because it was different & creative !
Fun fact, that's one of the easiest beatboxing sounds, but Adam is able to also 1. Use it in music instead of just a transition and 2. Filter and mix it to sound sooo good with this context. Even though he's not mixing, it's MUCH easier on an editor if you can get it close, and he hit it right on the head
Did you notice Tim was standing in a little boat? It’s why he’s standing so carefully still. His deadly serious expression would scare away whales. Loved Adam Rupp’s castanets and wave sounds in the last song, they’re new. Can’t listen without smiling. Loved your reaction, thanks.
Great Video! If you'd like the songs in themselves, you might wanna check out "The Longest Johns", they're a Shanty band from Bristol and they often do stuff a capella as well!
This was a good one. I’d never heard of sea shanty’s either. I did know one song but they’re all so good. You heard Adam’s castanets on the last song...amazing. Austin and Tim rocking the pirate gear. Their voices are so good and Tim went really low. Good reaction!
I'm always super happy when you show up again doing Home Free!!! Missed you. This is incredible, watched it now maybe 20 times. Can't get some of these songs out of my head. Never heard of sea shanties either before this. Guess HF has put this out on TikTok cause that's where these have been gaining popularity. And guess they asked fans there to sing along or lip sync, which I heard is what many have been doing. Wiat until they hear this!!! Loved the speed it kept gaining! Take care.
So glad to see you are still reacting to Home Free, and wasn't this such fun? Please can you react to Austin Brown's solo original If I Met You Now? It's so beautiful, and I really want everyone to have the chance to watch it.
I live in a costal town in GB every year we celebrate Maritime on the Quay with plenty Shanty groups. Great time ex specially with a drink and a herring.
Lol, sea shawntie, 😂😭 a shanty is just song sung to capture the life on the seas my dude! Great for morale, you and your mates taking on gods creation as men, NOTHING CAN STOP US!! Lets goooo
I didn't think I needed more sea shanties in my life but they killed it. Check out The Wellermen's (a group of TikTok'ers who decided to collab) version of The Wellerman also State of Mine's cover of Garth Brooks' Thunder Rolls, but watch the latest version that includes the rare third verse Garth only does live.
As someone who went on a shanty kick before Assassin's Creed Black Flag came out years ago to get ready for the game I'm happy to see shanties get new life. I remember the first shanty I ever heard..some of you may have heard it too in the bygone mists of ages. Tim Curry..as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island. When we first see him he's in the ship's galley peeling an apple and singing "What will we do with a drunken sailor". Started a secret love for sea shanties in me a long time ago..to be fair..while I'm pretty much a landlubber I've always wanted to try my hand at being on a sailing ship like the old days, I love to swim but..well..pools costs money whether you own them or just want to go swimming at a public pool..and I like to be by myself in the water if I can manage it cause I like to just go under and float in the water and enjoy the muted sounds of the world around me..and kids splashing around and making a ruckus kinda ruins that.
Drunken sailors in the brig don't have near as much fun as those who get to wander around and tell people what they really think of them or have impromptu sleepovers with the friends they went to the clubs with. Or so I've been told LOL ;)
I’m kinda new here, but I know you’re a vet, and I thought you might appreciate the song “Still a Soldier” by Trace Adkins if you haven’t listened to it yet. If you do listen to it, mind telling me what you think of it?
Yes! So happy you finally reacted to this. On another note a few recommendations, dunno if you've reacted to him yet? Jacob Banks: Unholy War, Chain-smoking or Unknown (To You). Any of those songs would be great.
So erm...this is my first time hearing Home Free. And uh, yeah - I need to go on a binge-listening spree!
Honey, buckle up for a wild and glorious ride down the HOME Free rabbit hole😁😁😁😁
Never late to this party.
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. It is a wonderland all its own. Enjoy the journey.
So how was your binge?
Their covers are fantastic and they have some originals that are beautiful. If I can recommend, start with their "Sing Off" performances - a competition show they won. ruclips.net/video/7Hd3TtA-suo/видео.html

Wow, thank you for that education, had no idea. Make's me appriciate them even more.
Tim really spent the whole song in the vocal Mariana Trench
Tim may look like Jack Sparrow, but Austin acts like him!!
Right
Do you have to make the exact same comment on eeeeevery reaction video you watch?

This is my current favorite Home Free song. Wow, each member of Home Free did an incredible job!
So good and fun. I like how they all got in full character! I love Adam’s percussion so much. Always phenomenal, he kills it every time!
Billy so glad you enjoyed....Home Free did it again !!!

I love how you pantomime the castanets and gave a shout out to Adam for his amazing percussion work.
In some of Austin's videos from his home, you can see the sword hanging on his wall.
If you look closely Tim (jack sparrow) is standing in a boat lol
Home Free continues to impress me!
Did you notice Tim was standing in a little boat? It’s why he’s standing so carefully still. His deadly serious expression would scare away whales. Loved Adam Rupp’s castanets and wave sounds in the last song, they’re new. Can’t listen without smiling. Loved your reaction, thanks.
Music, video...never a dull moment with Home Free (especially when you have a great “reactor”)!
The castanets though! Next level Adam Rupp.
Great Video! If you'd like the songs in themselves, you might wanna check out "The Longest Johns", they're a Shanty band from Bristol and they often do stuff a capella as well!
They always slay and I'd take a second medley for sure! I love the theatrical vibes and dig a lot of old folk/tribal songs.
This was a good one. I’d never heard of sea shanty’s either. I did know one song but they’re all so good. You heard Adam’s castanets on the last song...amazing. Austin and Tim rocking the pirate gear. Their voices are so good and Tim went really low. Good reaction!
Check out The Longest Johns! They’re a great sea shanty group
I would not have known about Home Free without this video! Thank you for introducing them, and being awsome! I've been binge watching your videos lol

Can’t stop the feeling cover is awesome! Talk about making a person happy! You should react to that one!
I live in a costal town in GB every year we celebrate Maritime on the Quay with plenty Shanty groups. Great time ex specially with a drink and a herring.
Tim’s bass in this song is absolutely absurd. I really hope someone makes sheet music
That was awesome!!🔥🔥🔥💜
And can we just take a second to recognize Adam Rupps amazing beatboxing skills?
Lol, sea shawntie, 😂😭 a shanty is just song sung to capture the life on the seas my dude! Great for morale, you and your mates taking on gods creation as men, NOTHING CAN STOP US!! Lets goooo
Love this song
Near the end Austin is having way too much fun with that sword
Adam's castanets are really fun.
I'd be a whole album of Sea Chang's from them.
Same. :)
Yup pentatonix did great social distance stuff even built an ep around it " home " ep
I didn't think I needed more sea shanties in my life but they killed it. Check out The Wellermen's (a group of TikTok'ers who decided to collab) version of The Wellerman also State of Mine's cover of Garth Brooks' Thunder Rolls, but watch the latest version that includes the rare third verse Garth only does live.
I like this one, it's fun!

I like how everybody is noticing their take on the Tiktok logo
Drunken sailors in the brig don't have near as much fun as those who get to wander around and tell people what they really think of them or have impromptu sleepovers with the friends they went to the clubs with. Or so I've been told LOL ;)
Sailors may have been a rough and Rowdy bunch but they put out some bangers to avoid boredom!
I’m kinda new here, but I know you’re a vet, and I thought you might appreciate the song “Still a Soldier” by Trace Adkins if you haven’t listened to it yet. If you do listen to it, mind telling me what you think of it?
yooo Billy looking good in that tank! my boy got some guns!
It was great!
If I were 30 years younger, you would not be single. lol
Yes! So happy you finally reacted to this.
On another note a few recommendations, dunno if you've reacted to him yet?
Jacob Banks: Unholy War, Chain-smoking or Unknown (To You).
Any of those songs would be great.
They have a new one out called crazy may want to check that out!
Austin also has one called "Off the Grid"
Somehow it makes me want to watch Black Sails again lol
When they do drunkin sailor reminds me of spongebob
Sea shanties have been around since 1800s some of them before that
This was just great Fun 💖🙃‼️
Billy: I don't know what a sea shanty is.
Me: Find the longest Johns. Check out Santianna.
This song sounds like a military drinking song
I don't know, Home Free might want to keep sharp objects away from Auston.
Transitions are easy when you have Rupp.
Billy, listen to Austin Brown's "A song about Second Chances". It's amazing!!
Yes, please.
Semper Fortis! drunken sailor here
I might be wrong, but I think the other guy who’s in red is dressed as Miguel from “The Road to El Dorado”
You check out Jared Halley. He did a cover of hoist the colors from the pirates of the Caribbean movie
I wonder if they played AC Black Flag too
Well, I did take a shower this norning lol
You should listen to Kid Quill’s opener and 90’s kids
Don't know if you did already but the oogie boogie song cover by voice play
You should listen to The Dance by Garth Brooks.
Should listen to some The Longest Johns
when youtube suggest you should listen/watch yourself xp
Watch Adam Rupp beatbox video. You will be speechless. Trust me!
Comment poll: do you say shawnty or shanty?
alot more fun than tom macdonalds new vid...
I wish I was Tim's neighbor.
You ain't my boy. but this is a rowing song...
React to fozzy Judas please
React to Nickelback rockstar sea shanty
Any onepiece fans ??
I'm pedantic but "shanty" rhymes with "panty". Great reaction though.
swv cover by mrtakbox
So are we gonna ignore that Billy out here looking swole or am I late on that?
No Home Free playlist? 😠
Of course you don't know what a sea shanty is. Doh
Wrong
