DJ: Here's a Tim Foust moment. My father and I went to a Home Free concert a few years ago in a small venue. We were in the front row, right in front of several speakers. At the beginning of the show, before they started, Tim comes to the front of the stage and points at us. "To those of you in the front row, I'm sorry." He dropped like 2 octaves when he said the last 2 words. Later in the concert, I realized why. As he sang, there were several times where the soundwaves from his low bass notes were literally pounding our chests. BAM! BAM! BAM! It was the craziest moment I've ever experienced with vocal music. And the song is in The Hobbit near the beginning, before they head out from Bag End.
I can vouch for the fact that even if you're about six rows back, and over in the front row of the bleachers, in a combination arena and concert stage, you will feel not only the bleachers shaking beneath you, but the FLOOR rumbling in front of you, when Tim gets down into his REALLY low register. OH...MY...WORD!!! :-D
Major correction before I delete the first message. Not in the front row. I screwed up and had to reorder. Major brain fart on my end the the sales folk were understanding and very helpful. Look for the San Francisco t-shirt a bit back just by the aisle on the left.
I surmise that the statement about all sounds made by the mouth is for the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans that may find this without knowing anything about Peter or Tim. Peter is the master of layering in vocals. This is amazing.
Love this arrangement. Peter has said that this is over 120 tracks all layered. He is an amazing arranger in that regard. He and Tim work so well together. Look out for more Peter. He’s really good.
The song appears in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, where the dwarves sing it at Bilbo's house. This was the first song I heard Tim Foust in and he blew me away. I couldn't believe someone could sing that deep. But thanks to DJ, I was introduced to Home Free and never looked back 😁😁
Nerd moment: The song was a dirge combined with a plaint, and a promise - the dwarves start singing it at the table after their meal while explaining why they needed a burglar Song is about the death of a king (ancestor far in the past of Thorin [leader of the dwarves]), loss of a mountain kingdom (The Misty Mountain), the lost glory, and the intention to take it back
Your nerd card is revoked 😆 The lost Dwarf kingdom of Erebor was under the Lonely Mountain, not the Misty Mountains. They had to cross the Misty Mountains and then Mirkwood forest to get to the Lonely Mountain.
@@lachimiste1 lol, a matter of perspective when comparing Hobbit and Human lifespans to the 100s of years lifespans of Dwarves - or less than a lifetime from the perspective of Elves
I think my favorite part of the video is when Tim shakes the camera with his voice. He is notorious for this kind of stuff, and it's always fun to see where he did it. I too am shaking my head that you have never seen The Hobbit though, as it was a good movie. Not as masterful as LOTR, but still well put together, and the singing is always nice!
Your description of what would happen if Tim gave us all he has was great! He does have a way of making it look like he's just having an easy sing along.
And this was filmed in 2 different areas. Tim was in the Caribbean filming Friends in Low Places with HF while Peter was in Oregon i believe. That last note if I am correct is a G1. He can go to B0.
Tim's piercing stare just drills right into your soul and when his deep bass voice comes in he just seems to completely shatter you. I'm convinced he is a human dragon. 🐲 If a dragon sings, this is what he sounds like. If you watch the screen on Tim's last note, you will see the screen vibrate with that sound. It's mind blowing.😨🤯😱
Nice reaction. The song is sung by the dwarves fairly early on the in the film; in Bilbo's home.. a lament of losses for their home under the mountain.
So has avi and I'm sure Geoff has too. It's not actually that hard I've heard. It's like breaking glass as a female, it's a surprisingly low note you just have to hit it for a really long period of time, and most people don't have that kind of breath control.
Tim Foust has blown out many speakers at their shows giving everyone this deepest bass note! The crowd always goes wild when the speakers break and the static starts and the speaker goes wonky. We all just love Tim….and the rest of HOME FREE!
So excited that you reacted to this!!! Peter Hollens is fantastic. His wife Evynne is also a singer and she has some great songs that I think you would appreciate!
Geoff Castallucci, the bass singer from VoicePlay also has a video out for this same song, under the title Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold. That one is just as stunning. Both Tim's and Geoff's final note just take my breath away. Peter Hollens has two other songs from the Hobbit movies that I really like. The Hobbit Drinking Medley feat. Hank Green is a lot of fun. I See Fire is amazing to hear and a joy to watch. His layers of beatboxing, clapping, finger snapping, etc is really wild. I keep meaning to sit down and binge watch the Hobbit movies just to get a background on the music I love so much. Maybe this week. No, really! I really mean it this time.
Tim is also able to hit some pretty high notes. Small fact, they were in two different countries when this was produced, Peter in Oregon and Tim in the Caribbean. The production and layering were done by Peter.
Yes, please watch The Hobbit-An Unexpected Journey (first of the three). The song is sung near the beginning of the movie, while they are still in Bilbo's home. They don't sing the whole song though so don't expect them to.
In Peter Jacksons version of the Hobbit, this song starts at 39:45 into the first movie ... in the original animated version the song starts at about 3 minutes in
Tim was in Grand Cayman called Hell Canyon (no kidding) and Peter was in Oregon when they shot this. Peter is a master of layering. I think there are 120 tracks in this. Only their two voices…which is amazing to me. They have collaborated on many songs..Sound of Silence, Bridge over Troubled Water, Greensleeves, Fire and Rain. They’re so good. If you stare at Tim at the end…the camera shakes. Yeah Tim can blow speakers for sure. He looks like he’s staring through your soul. So good. This is in the first Hobbit movie I think. You should watch the Hobbit movies and Lord of the Rings movies too. They’re epic.
Just found this video and I have to tell you Tim went headfirst into the bowels of Mordor and pulled up a Balrog on that last note. The soul of the mountain came up with it. Great reaction sir.
Tim Foust looks and sounds like some kind of cosmic being living among the people of Earth, hiding. You get the impression his voice could re-arrange the fabric of reality if he wanted to.
The Hobbit is a 3 film series and this song is in the very first movie. I, of course, recommend you watch all three so you get the whole story. Great reaction DJ!
@@TempleMusicAcademy do me a solid: follow us on RUclips please! West Valley Chorus! Look us up and our social media links are in the descriptions of our videos.
DJ: As usual, great breakdown. Judah's right - Dude, drink a couple of expressos or Red Bulls, whatever ya have to do, but watch the danged movie. Ya also need to check out Peter's collab with Home Free doing U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for." It's an amazing cover, not just for the singing, but from a sound engineering standpoint.
They filmed in totally different areas of the world and recorded separately! It allowed it to look like upper and lower realms! Peter is the king of layering his vocals! They both are so talented and together they mesh perfectly
Peter is a Master at Layering……makes for a great song 💥‼️🔥 Tim just sings his #&$$ off & stares into your soul 😳‼️💥💥‼️ Oh, go see “THE HOBBIT”……. But, not after working All day 🙃💥‼️. Thank You for your reaction 👍💥‼️
My friend, you must react to Peter Hollens Ft. Home Free | Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, it will blow your mind like Voctave did the first time. Another great reaction. Thanks for doing what you do :)
Tim and Peter sang their parts in 2 different locations on the same day. I know for sure Tim's location was in Oregon I can not remember Peter's location. I believe this is why they did a split screen.
Tou mentioned that you sensed that Tim was holding back. If you want to hear him totally kill it, not to mention hear his incredible range flexibility, he and Peter Hollens did a rendition of "Greensleeves" that is freaking AMAZING! I'm not exactly sure why but It actually brought me to tears.The location is phenomenal and believe it or not, it was done in one take because they wanted to capture the beauty of the scenery at that moment. There havent been alot of reactions to it so PLEASE PLEASE check it out.( They also did "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" which is beautiful also. There was just something about "Greensleeves" that really touched me.) Loved your reaction and commentary on this one. Looking forward to the next one!❤
Def watch it! ;) And seriously...do yourself (and us) a huge favor and check out the Peter Hollens collab with Home Free doing I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Not only does he layer who knows many with him and the group, he also adds in a huge number (I'm not sure exactly how many) of patrons. It's amazing.
This is more amazing. I saw an interview with Peter and he said that filming this was complicated because both were filmed on the same day on 2 different continents at the same time. Peter was in the USA. I don’t recall what country Tim was in. I do recall that Peter said that Tim indicated he found the only place that looked Hobbit-like. I think the locations they chose were perfect.
Your intro absolutely cracked me up. I haven't seen the movie either, Judah, and have no intention of seeing it. Don't need to on order to live the song, though. 😂🥰
LOVE your reactions Canuck dude...lol Seriously I get and follow your critique and the emotion you put into top off the Sundae with whip cream and a nice red cherry!!
Not necessarily obvious for those who don't know them. 😉 That last note we Home Fries refer to a dragon's breath note. 😊 If I am not mistaken, Peter is a former operatic singer. To me, Peter sounds almost ethereal when juxtaposed against Tim's rattle your soul bass. The only other singer that I know of (off the top of my head) that can go lower is Tim Snow (gospel singer). Snow has the lowest recorded note sang I believe. If I am not mistaken, he actually hits & sustains the last note on a piano keyboard. He's mind blowing too. It was filmed in 2 places. Peter was in Washington or Oregon (I think) & Tim was in the Carribbean on another vid shoot. You should check out Peter Barber & Bobby "Bass" Waters doing their cover of Avi Kaplan's The Summit if you haven't already. Bobby doesn't hardly sound human when he hits the low notes. As far as kicking ass & taking names...not even bothering with the names...but a Rockette I will never be. Can't kick that high. 😁
DJ, please watch The Hobbit. And this video/Post, AWESOME. And, the Camera didn't "explode", but it shook in the end. LMAO!!! You're right. I think he is holding back about 800% most of the time too. Like Geoff Castellucci and Avi Kaplan. Bass isn't the main Topic, but people like, no, LOVE BASS. But, I digress. LOL
I didn’t like this song when I first heard it because of its darkness. But now I’ve grown to love it because it is so beautiful! Thanks for your reaction because you bring out points that I have missed. By the way, I’ve never seen the hobbit and never intend to-not my kind of movie!
I didn't want to see it either. One of my husband's weird favorites... like Lord of the Rings. I have watched the movie, resentfully, and loved it. Lord of the Rings.... uh, watched it and it is too weird.
They are both great at what they do, but oh my goodness that Tim Foust I just love this guy I love his voice I love his character I love all the songs he sings wetherby high notes low notes mid-range notes he is absolutely fabulous❤😊
This song is actually in the book, though it's arranged a bit differently having no actual notes but words only. It's about late middle of the first chapter, just after dinner. That should help you place it in the movie. The thirteen dwarves are singing it. I'm fairly certain that Tim is playing Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain.
Another tidbit. Peter and Tim were in two different places when they did this. Tim was in the Cayman Islands and Peter was in the Pacific northwest, Washington, but not not exactly sure which state.
Did you notice how much the camera was shaking during that last low note Tim sustained? If not, go back and check it out. You can see the image vibrating.
This song occurs at Bilboa Baggins' house. The dwarves have come to Bilboa's house to plan how to retake their mountain home from Smaug the dragon. It occurs fairly early in the movie.
Turns out the lyrics of this song were actually written by Professor Tolkien back in the day. His work actually involved a great deal of poems, songs, and phrases
Just when you think Tim Faust is the coolest bass there is, he puts out his album, "Pieces of Me" and showcases his five octave range! You have to react to "Will You Still Love Me/Stay" mashup!! They were not at the same place when they were filmed!
Peter also has a gorgeous collaboration with Avi Kaplan of the old folk song "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" you must hear and see because it makes quite clear who is singing what in all parts. The disclaimer about the beginning is standard for acappella music. You can also find it for example at the beginning of the cover of "Starships" as done by Pentatonix. Avi used Misty Mountains for years as a filler in Pentatonix live shows for years (besides he looks the part without costuming 🙂). ruclips.net/video/NmojaHHIn1s/видео.html Geoff Castelluci has done a cover of this too very recently. ruclips.net/video/Erkv1-_xR7U/видео.html
I’m pretty sure not all of those lows you were hearing were Tim. There are over 120 layers here, and I seem to recall Peter saying in a comment thread somewhere that Tim only recorded one of them. Peter also recorded a solo cover of this song before this one with Tim, and he can get fairly low himself.
When this was done Tim was in the Cayman Islands and Peter was in the Pacific Northwest. Mad engineering skills involved here in addition to the musicianship. Read the Hobbit, then watch the movie (or we will hunt you down)!
The separations are fire, if you did not notice, and were a choice to bring two videos from different locations together. They were filmed in different geological locations states apart. Peter layed down over 120 different tracks himself and layered in Tim's track/s to complete the audio and video. I am surprised you did not mention Peter's jaw position and it's correlation to sound quality. Dropping one's jaw versus dropping and jutting it forward produces a different sound quality, especially with vowels.
now that you have seen Misty Mountains I would be interested in your comparison and contrast Tim's growls in Ring of Fire and Misty Mountains with Tim singing the lead in Mayday.
DJ, The Hobbit is actually a trilogy of movies by Peter Jackson depicting the books by J. R. R. Tolkien. This song appears fairly early in the first movie, An Unexpected Journey. This trilogy is, of course, a prequel to the Lord of the Rings series.
No recent comments gave you the place in the Hobbit movie where the dwarves sang this song. It's at the point where they are all at Bilbo's house having dinner before they start the quest. The dwarves are sitting around the fire musing about the upcoming quest and going back to Erebor and Thorin starts singing this song which is positioned as a dwarven classic. I thought the movie version was good, but this version 'dwarfs it' :-).
"...Tim is holding back, like, 8000%..." Well, as impressive as his Bass-Voice is, what about the intensity of his GAZE... I feel like he could Stare a confession out of the Devil himself. :)

Tim’s part was filmed in Grand Cayman. There’s a spot on the main island that’s called Hell. It has those odd black rock formations.
I can't help but notice the accuracy and precision differences between these two when listening to this.
I saw a comment Peter left on a reaction of this song, and he said that this was over 120 layers. 😳
These two have collaborated on a few other songs, Greensleeves, Sound of Silence, and Bridge Over Trouble Water.

So has avi and I'm sure Geoff has too. It's not actually that hard I've heard.
It's like breaking glass as a female, it's a surprisingly low note you just have to hit it for a really long period of time, and most people don't have that kind of breath control.

Peter was in Colorado while Tim was in the Caribbean.....Also, Peter said he mixed 150 tracks in this recording. Tim has a five and half octave range.

They are both great at what they do, but oh my goodness that Tim Foust I just love this guy I love his voice I love his character I love all the songs he sings wetherby high notes low notes mid-range notes he is absolutely fabulous❤😊
This song is actually in the book, though it's arranged a bit differently having no actual notes but words only. It's about late middle of the first chapter, just after dinner. That should help you place it in the movie. The thirteen dwarves are singing it. I'm fairly certain that Tim is playing Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain.
Nope, Tim's channeling *Smaug* here!
DJ now go back and find Mist Mountains with just Peter singing. It really shows those layering he does and is quite impressive!
It is after they all eat their dinner at Bilbo Baggins’ house. It starts while they are all sitting around the fire!!!
1st movie, An Unexpected Journey. Great reply, Wesley. Sorry to interrupt.
@@donnilloyd1355 no you’re good. Yeah it’s the first movie
please do more peter hollens. His epic nick and epic villains medley were great, as is his collab with tim for Sound of Silence!
Watch "The Hobbit" and then react to Peter Hollens "The Hobbit Drinking Medley" (with Hank Green). It's so much fun.
It is awesome.
Another tidbit. Peter and Tim were in two different places when they did this. Tim was in the Cayman Islands and Peter was in the Pacific northwest, Washington, but not not exactly sure which state.
Tim's end...the Dragon's Breath/ CHILLS!!
Did you notice how much the camera was shaking during that last low note Tim sustained? If not, go back and check it out. You can see the image vibrating.
This song occurs at Bilboa Baggins' house. The dwarves have come to Bilboa's house to plan how to retake their mountain home from Smaug the dragon. It occurs fairly early in the movie.
Geoff Castalucci has done a solo cover of this song also. Definitely worth checking out. Love your reactions and analysis. 🥰
Turns out the lyrics of this song were actually written by Professor Tolkien back in the day. His work actually involved a great deal of poems, songs, and phrases
TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT HIGHS & LOWS, MAKES TOTAL SENSE TO ME
If you want to hear this song without Tim as a reference, Peter recorded a version by himself before they collabed in this one.
Not you should listen to Geoff's version. Both are amazing in their own way and quite different.
Great reaction! Thank you! Another song you might enjoy: "Blackbird" by Geoff Castelucci... Amazing!
Tim Foust going subwoofer 22 times!
Just when you think Tim Faust is the coolest bass there is, he puts out his album, "Pieces of Me" and showcases his five octave range! You have to react to "Will You Still Love Me/Stay" mashup!!
They were not at the same place when they were filmed!
They were filmed on location...Peter at one, in Oregon, I believe, while Tim was elsewhere
Tim has been known to blow out speakers when he totally lets loose.
Peter also has a gorgeous collaboration with Avi Kaplan of the old folk song "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" you must hear and see because it makes quite clear who is singing what in all parts. The disclaimer about the beginning is standard for acappella music. You can also find it for example at the beginning of the cover of "Starships" as done by Pentatonix. Avi used Misty Mountains for years as a filler in Pentatonix live shows for years (besides he looks the part without costuming 🙂).

Geoff Castelluci has done a cover of this too very recently.

Nice as always...but I absolutely love their Greensleeves
This was one of his first videos so not really well known yet
Not always obvious that they don't use instruments.
I’m pretty sure not all of those lows you were hearing were Tim. There are over 120 layers here, and I seem to recall Peter saying in a comment thread somewhere that Tim only recorded one of them. Peter also recorded a solo cover of this song before this one with Tim, and he can get fairly low himself.
When this was done Tim was in the Cayman Islands and Peter was in the Pacific Northwest. Mad engineering skills involved here in addition to the musicianship.
Read the Hobbit, then watch the movie (or we will hunt you down)!
@Judah, love the thumbnail photo, if only he really did that.
Sure… the one time I make the thumbnail but he gets the credit 😂
@@TempleMusicAcademy 🤣😂🤣😂 my bad brother.
Tim did that last phrase all in one breath
Did you notice the camera shaking when Tim hit that end note?
I've fallen asleep 3x watching it. Haven't seen the whole thing yet either.
Hoist the colors is a must listen too!
The separations are fire, if you did not notice, and were a choice to bring two videos from different locations together. They were filmed in different geological locations states apart. Peter layed down over 120 different tracks himself and layered in Tim's track/s to complete the audio and video.
I am surprised you did not mention Peter's jaw position and it's correlation to sound quality. Dropping one's jaw versus dropping and jutting it forward produces a different sound quality, especially with vowels.
now that you have seen Misty Mountains I would be interested in your comparison and contrast Tim's growls in Ring of Fire and Misty Mountains with Tim singing the lead in Mayday.
another great reaction...did you notice the screen shaking on the last note?
This song is actually SUPER early on, before they actually even set off from the Shire on the original adventure.
DJ, The Hobbit is actually a trilogy of movies by Peter Jackson depicting the books by J. R. R. Tolkien. This song appears fairly early in the first movie, An Unexpected Journey. This trilogy is, of course, a prequel to the Lord of the Rings series.
Well now I learned something! I knew it was a trilogy but I didn’t know it was a prequel.
No recent comments gave you the place in the Hobbit movie where the dwarves sang this song. It's at the point where they are all at Bilbo's house having dinner before they start the quest. The dwarves are sitting around the fire musing about the upcoming quest and going back to Erebor and Thorin starts singing this song which is positioned as a dwarven classic. I thought the movie version was good, but this version 'dwarfs it' :-).
"...Tim is holding back, like, 8000%..." Well, as impressive as his Bass-Voice is, what about the intensity of his GAZE... I feel like he could Stare a confession out of the Devil himself. :)
