    Yes, this is so "him", this is a Tim Foust, original. It was filed shortly after they had done Ring Of Fire, featuring Avi Kaplan so Avi was still around to do his little cameo, still wearing the cowboy hat he put on at the end of Ring Of Fire. Love your enthusiasm reacting to Home Free.

    When he wrote this Foust had a cushy job in LA writing and producing pop songs for a millionaire. His boss had just made a deal with people in Nashville and told Tim he was to write only Country songs from there on. He went home and starting drinking. He decided to write the most red neck song he could imagine. This was that song. He is amazed that it continues to be one of Home Free’s most popular songs. Post script: They filmed this at the same time they did Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan. That is why Avi is present to do a quick cameo toward the end of the video.

    This song is followed, story-wise, by Full of Cheer. Yes, it it a Christmas song, but who cares? It's terrific any time of the year. And seeing Tim running around in those bright red kiddie style PJs is such a treat.
    If you want to see a Home Free video done in one take, with the guys running around behind the camera to get their new spot check out their mashup Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it One (Ed Sheeran and Marvin Gaye) The couple are fellow performers and good friends.

    Tim is from Texas, so a southern accent mixed with a Texas twang is natural for him.

  • @kmwwrench

    Tim tells the story that he wrote this in a snit after his boss at the time told him he had to write a country song. He went home, drank a bottle of whiskey and then wrote this.

    • @Brirend
      @Brirend 10 месяцев назад

      Yeah, Tim spent the first part of his career avoiding Country music like the plague. He felt like he had grown up with Country music but, he considered it his parent's music so he didn't want to have anything to do with it.
      However, fate kept dragging him back to Country.
      1. There was the "You are going to write Country music" from his boss that inspired this song.
      2. Years later when he joined Home Free and they were auditioning for The Sing Off and the producers were telling them "You guys should switch to Country music and we guarantee you will get a spot on the show because we haven't seen anyone do Country in a capella.
      They thought about it and realized that a good portion of the songs they were already doing were Country (Your Man, God Bless the USA, etc) so he finally gave in and they were labeled Country for the show.

  • @marshac7738
    @marshac7738 10 месяцев назад +6

    Rob's whistling is wondrous!
    The story behind this song is hilarious: Many years ago Tim's employer told him to write a country song but he didn't want to. So he came up with the "worst" (his words) country song he could think of--and to this day it is one of his most popular originals 😆

    Your enthusiasm for Home Free simply adds to the great fun of watching them do what they do so well -- making us happy! I personally think you are ready for "Mayday" -- you've got Tim's role figured out. But ask yourself if you're sure what role the other 4 have in the HF arrangements. Singularly, they are each artists -- together they perform magic.

  • @jankreps5115
    @jankreps5115 10 месяцев назад +6

    From the second the video starts there’s a lot of symbolism… Rob whistling and paddling without a paddle “up a creek without a paddle”! Love is blind and she’s out there just spending his money like it’s never gonna end… I love the ending races I’ll never see your pretty face because it’s supposed to nowhere near the mall… Meaning she’s going to keep on shopping for ever while he’s even in prison! I love the cameo appearance by Avi! He agreed to that while they were making the video of ring of fire… I love how the a cappella groups are very supportive of each other lol!

  • @thomasmacdiarmid8251
    @thomasmacdiarmid8251 10 месяцев назад +5

    For more comedy and whistling, try Quarantine - Tim wrote the lyrics and used the tune of Billy Joel's Honesty. This came out fairly soon after the start of lockdown and was part of a series of videos they filmed separately and then edited together (the team, not HF specifically). They kept up releasing a new video every two weeks during the entirety of lockdown, and it was really a big morale boost for those feeling isolated. The whole series gave the "We're all in this together, so let's make the most of it" feeling.

    Tim wrote it and there’s a funny story about it. He was in LA writing songs when his boss came to him and asked him to write a country song which he didn’t want to do but the boss insisted so Tim got drunk and wrote this in one night and it became a hit. Too funny! 😍 I love the lyrics “I won’t see her pretty face at all since the prison’s no where near the mall”. Have to love that!

    @matthewgoodA1206 10 месяцев назад +5

    My first RUclips reaction video was a Home Free song, so it was an intro to both at the same time. Have not looked back since- no reason to. People always say that Tim wrote this original song when he was drunk. That his boss at a company or label requested a country tune. I’d say that’s a great composition for having a few in him. And it’s just pure fun.

  • @HenryCabotHenhouse3
    @HenryCabotHenhouse3 10 месяцев назад +4

    All you need is to watch Some Girls Do and you will be ready for Mayday. You might want to give a listen to Cam's original version first, too. There's a reason, I just can't tell you why before you watch Home Free's version.
    I love that you were thinking about production, I'm from a tech background and think of the same things. This is not a true one-shot video, but they do have one, it's the Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it On mash-up. That one is a fun choreographic dance between camera, actors, and crew. One Man Band is also a one shot, if I recall correctly, just less complicated.

    Tim, Austin, Chris (Adam Rupp's brother and co-founder of the band - he went solo in 2016) and Chris's replacement Chance are each song writers. I think the "film maker" in you would really enjoy their series "From the Vault" - the behind the scenes filming of their videos.. Though I think the people doing the filming must feel like they're herding stray cats!

    I have been a fan of Home Free and of Pentatonix (PTX) since they were both on “The Sing Off”. If you haven’t don’t “Ring of Fire, you should. Avi Kaplan from PTX sings with them on that song. I love when Home Free does humorous songs. They are hilarious! 😂
    I don’t know if you react to PTX or not, but if not PLEASE do so. They are the biggest acapella group ever. They’ve won Grammy’s and have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I don’t think any other acapella group has done that, but I will say imo, Home Free deserves them, too.
    I “think” I am the one who started your Jung Kook solo reaction journey. At least that’s what I tell myself 😂😂❤. I did recommend you react to him. Anyways, I hope you will watch some, one or all of his live performances. His best vocals are his 3 iHeart performances: “SNTY”, “Hate You” and “Seven” (clean). There is a live band on these performances, but no backup dancers… JK handles it by himself just fine. 😊 also his Audacy radio performance is good. He sings four songs on that one. hope you check them out. If you want to know more about him and his role in BTS check out his interview with Apple and videos by Ida Smith: “JungKook the Main Vocalist of BTS” and “Jung Kook the Golden Maknae”. The last one showcases his many talents in drawing, painting, athletics, etc. he got the nickname, Golden Maknae (youngest), because he is good at almost everything he tries. As V says, most people start learning things at a base level and JK starts at an above average level.

I haven’t stopped playing it since I reacted to it, sooo catchy. Thank you though for more suggestions on where to go with him next. I was just wondering what direction to go for Jungkook after SEVEN.
      I do want to start properly going back to PTX, I know a few of their songs and videos but I haven’t heard them in a good few years and I’d love to take them in properly now.

    @nancyholter5646 10 месяцев назад

    As long as you aren't confused about Chris/Chance in the videos (Chris prior to mid-2016, Chance after that), any order works. As of today there are 186 titles in the official video list plus a few others that they collaborated on - Peter Hollens' Amazing Grace, for example - and the Country Rebel "Church Sessions" ones.
    The recommendation for Thinking Out Loud/Lets' Get it On as a one-shot is a good suggestion, but you might want to watch The Hound & The Fox's video for Thinking Out Loud first - it s a prequel of sorts and introduces the couple that star in the HF one.

    You're almost ready for "Mayday," but first you should try one with Chance singing lead. "Some Girls Do" ( ruclips.net/video/LZWoDeTYugA/видео.html ) would be perfect. Or...try "Brothers in Arms" ( ruclips.net/video/_ChD2WjD2tY/видео.html ). "Brothers in Arms" is a cover of Mark Knopfler's (Dire Straits) original. This one features both of HF's low voices, Tim and Chance. The song is a sombre reflection on the horrors of war, but their version is stunningly beautiful. (Tissue alert.) Before you check out HF's cover of "Mayday," it's a very good idea to listen to (reaction is optional) the original ( ruclips.net/video/eRrCMEXPjWo/видео.html ) by female country vocalist Cam (Camaron Marvel Ochs.) As you watch Cam perform the song, ask yourself, "how can 5 men cover this song in exactly the same key?" Then...find out! 🙂
