Adam, I understand, was the one who proposed the idea for the video. Adam is a Dungeonmaster in Dungeons and Dragons. You can see his basement with the D,&D layout and his numerous figurines in Home Free's video Quarantine and Down to the Honky Tonk. These were made during the lockdown at their different homes. Chance was in a Mandelorian outfit He is a huge Star Wars fan. The girl who stabbed Austin was Austin's girlfriend, Amberly. Quite a few of the other people, ore, if not all, were various friends. I think the guy who stabbed Tim's dragon was Tim's friend that Introduced Tim to his future wife.
This did look like it was fun to film, but I guess it was over 100F in Nashville that day and worse when you take humidity into account. That ending with the juice pouches and water and ice packs? Yeah, they were all pretty overheated. The group they're with is a regular LARP group in Nashville. This was their Pride month LARP, so if you watch you'll catch little rainbow flags and such on shields.
You aren't alone - when us patrons got the video at the beginning of the week before it premiered, many of us had to listen to the song and not watch the video to pay attention. The guys are just too much fun. This was originally by NeedtoBreathe. Great reaction - thanks. 🤣🍟
The first time I watched this, I was so caught up in the action that I totally ignored the music. Had to go back and "watch" it again with my eyes closed. The voice you rhapsodized over was Rob. And now we know Adam's secret: he uses magic to make all those sounds. The woman shaking her head at Rob and Austin is Austin's lady love, Amberly. These guys can be so adorably loopy and still sing like angels. Doesn't seem fair sometimes, but I love it. Great reaction. Have a great day.
Now you're ready for their Listen to the Music. One or two more, and you might be ready for Mayday. First you need to recognize voices and names. LOL Peace from Kentucky, USA!
I’ve watched your reaction to this song so many times. 🥰Sometimes when I’m low - I come watch it again. As much as they make YOU feel good… the energy of this reaction makes ME feel good. So… just wanted to tell you that. And thank you for it! 😊🙏🏽
Not just any dragon: Toothless, from How to Train Your Dragon. That would make Tim= Hiccup. Amberly, Austin's lady, (the one who "slays" him, is amazing. They are two peas in a pod. Check out their channel, Beauty and the Bass. Adam is a huge D&Der. There's a vid on the HF channel showing his home, including one big man-cave with hundreds of hand painted miniatures on one wall, a huge gaming table in the middle. He did have a give away to win a gaming session with him and his buds. Oh, and he wears this get up while riding a mechanical bull in the video for Between A Rock and A Heartache. I think his staff is from a fan.
It was funny because the week Home Free released this video, Voice Play released I Can't Make You Love Me. Home Free are usually the ones to tackle emotional, heartfelt songs, and Voice Play is usually dressed up in costume, so it was like they switched places. 🤣 Also, I do some cosplay as well and loved you talking about your love for the costumes. I definitely need to see an inflatable MegaZord. 😆
Make you Feel my Love, Sold, and Good Ol' Boy Good Time are favorites of mine not listed elsewhere - always a pick-up in whatever mood is resident at the time.
Home Free=Brotherhood=5Brothers💖 Oh this is so awesome!!!! So cool and funny but at the same time so sweet!!! Beautiful how they are dressed up, all one by one fabulous. What a beautiful start from Chance with a voice so smooth and sexy. And even though it looked cool, it was almost a shame that you didn't see his face through that helmet for a while. 😄 Then our soulful Rob, the teddy bear with his beautiful voice as soft as silk and his very high note!! 💞Who sings while lying down and later received a sweet kiss on his injured finger from Tim.😂 Tim with his beautiful pathetic dragon and who with his bass could have knocked everyone down in my opinion. 😉 Austin with his amazing moves and a voice just like he looked. And I think Amberly loved knocking him down. 😅 Then Adam Rupp, who I think has always been magical with his vocal percussion/vocal sounds, but proved once again that he is The Magier/The Wizard and the glue of Home Free. He was incredible!!🥰
I couldn't hit the play button fast enough-I knew you would enjoy this one!! And don't apologize for watching a Home Free video instead of listening, it happens to ALL Home Fries😉
And it especially happens with this video. I've heard that "complaint" from so many other reactors, that it's hard to both listen to the voices/lyrics and watch the action at the same time. Hell, I'VE made that "complaint". And then I've turned around and watched it again. Just to see if I could do both, ya know.
I spent _years_ lrp-ing in the UK (and my nerdy backside misses it now that I'm back in the US) and this video makes my heart happy. Just a nerd note- Adam Rupp is a game geek who paints mini's and makes DnD campaign dungeons
Don't sweat it, my friend - Home Free is always about the whole experience, vocals, videos, emotions, stories... They are masters of it all :) Many (Most) of their songs take three-four-five views before you get all the details - and I think they only get better every time you watch it. I just love these guys so much :)
Your reaction is fantastic so I will just say what I did when I first watched it "Finally a video and song that gives Adam Rupp the respect he deserves."
Please react to Home Frees covers of: Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Believin', My Heart Will Go On, and then Never Gonna Give You Up....all in one reaction, in that order. Trust me. It's amazing and hilarious.
Great song & message about "brotherhood" & looking out for each other. The guys looked like they had a lot of fun doing this video. This was my first introduction to "larping".
Great reaction to this video and love it. I love the way tim pettin his dragon when it gets hurt. And the one that hit Austin in the back was his girlfriend!😅
Of all the reactions I've watched to HF's rendition of "Brother" yours is the absolute best, hands down. Your commentary made it almost like watching it for the first time. So glad I'm subbed to your channel, your enthusiasm and genuine joy is so uplifting it boosts my mood every time. Thank you for the joy.
Yeah, Tim's a double character: Hiccup riding Toothless. BTW, when Toothless if wounded/killed and Hiccup throws his weapon aside to mourn, if you look behind him to the right you'll see warrior Amberly whacking the hell out of Austin. Too funny
My only complaint was we didn't get to see much of Chances handsome face with that helmet on. But loved the whole thing music, LARPING, theatrics and humor. Austin being whacked and beaten up was by his girlfriend Amberly. They're so cute together. Glad you enjoyed this one. I also would have liked to be part of this video.😂❤
So Happy right now ! Love this one ! so good each character is so perfect. Rob as Braveheart he's a movie buff Chance Mandalorian total Star wars / Star Trek Austin and his Amberley are perfect He's an Elf she's a warrior Tim we call him Dragon breath when he hits the lows he's riding a Dragon like how to train your dragon and Adam Rupp is clearly a Wizard and the hero !
Adam is a huge D&D there is a video from lockdown where they focus on each member...the one about Adam shows his D&D setup and more about how he records his parts.
I'm sure someone else mentioned it, but the original is by NeedToBreathe, a contemporary Christian group. They are great, and I love their lead singer's voice.
This is How We Roll is pretty great too. Based on The Big Lebowski, Tim fits well into his role as The Dude. And he wears that outfit in 1 or 2 other HF videos.
It helps add to the humor and actions in the video if you've seen "Anchorman", but not a necessarily! 😂😉 This was a Huey Lewis & the News song and our magical Adam cuts loose with a harmonica ("no-monica") solo that's killer!! 😳🎶❤ Same thing with "This Is How We Roll" - not a necessity seeing "The Big Lebowski" beforehand, but it does make it even funnier if you have!! 👍😉 And, for that particular video, definitely watch the outro (it'll only make sense if you've seen the movie)! These guys crack me up! BONUS: You'll not only laugh your butt off at Austin's get-up, but you get to hear him rap a bit! Haha
You weren't the only one distracted by the video - first viewing I was totally distracted by Adam R!! It's usually Tim that sets my old heart a-flutter but Adam looking so at ease in that getup, being shirtless then pulling off that cartwheel (please someone tell me it actually was him and not a "double"!) just floored me. Can we have him in a similar getup every video? 😍(I'm sure the poor lad would be most embarrassed that a crazy old woman like me looks at him in that way but......😂) Second viewing I actually managed to listen to the song. Great vocals as always and fab lyrics. It's what this world needs more of now - looking out for each other and less of the selfish, looking out for only oneself. I think it's mainly Rob taking the lead here but whichever one of them it is, it is beautifully done
Your reaction was great! They had to have fun doing this. They said the temperature the day they filmed this was over 100*F. and they all had heavy costumes, especially Rob.
As a Home Fry and a d and d player, this is one of my favorites!! My family has played our first campaign for the last five years now! Turns out I'm a dice goblin. I was buying sooo much dice. Now I make my own.😁🤓
I love this video - the song, the singing, the message of the song and the video itself are all terrific. You have to watch it twice though - once for the video and once for the music. The woman who clubs the elf (Austin) is his lady Amberly and in the background she keeps waling on him. By the way, Adam Rupp has his own channel & is a big DnD player!
I think you'd really enjoy some of the live (audience taken) videos, such as "Timeless with special dancer" ruclips.net/video/w_PwIH6LhJs/видео.html or, more recently, "Home Free w/Maggie Baugh: Delta Dawn". Love your channel & reactions!
To steal from a commenter on a different reaction to this video: The original was written by Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE and was inspired by a terrible fight with his brother who was, at that time, also a band mate. When they had cooled down enough to really hear each other, they chose to be brothers first and band mates second. If there is one thing that you could say against HF's videos it is that the video itself often makes you overlook the details of the singing. Some times because of the humor, sometimes because of the pathos. I have shared videos with friends and asked them to not watch it the first time, to just listen so they can concentrate on the music. Not especially useful for a reactor, though. When I saw the notification that you were doing this, I was soo excited to see your reaction. And I was right. thank you for a great reaction.
The barbarian slaughtering Rob and later Austin is actually Austin's girlfriend. And the silky smooth voice is Rob. If you feel like a soft breeze of sound is caressing you, it's probably Rob. One or two octaves lower, it's probably Chance. 🙂
Chicken!!! You won't say who the other two in your playlist are!! Because it's probably Voice Play, even though you know Home Free with Adam Rupp is the best a-capela group in the world.
I finally had to put my phone face down so that I could actually hear the lyrics when this one came out! The original was written by Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE. Bear and his brother founded the band and at one point had such artistic differences that they had a fight that landed one of them in the hospital. After they had cooled down and were able to hear each other, they talked it out and chose to be brothers first and band mates second. I would recommend that you take a listen to NEEDTOBREATHE at some point. I love their album Out of Body and my favorite (it’s hard to choose) song from the album is Banks. I can’t remember if there is a video for it or not but the lyrics are powerful. I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions to Home Free!
I am sure someone has told you but Adam is a huge D&D fan and has a basement full of characters he has for the board game. Sure it was his idea! This was EPIC!
You just can’t beat their talent and gift for humor when it’s rolled up in one song!! LOVE THEM!! Looks like you would give this 10 out of 10 antlers??? ❤
We all went through what you did. I've watched your Home Free videos and I subscribe tonight. As long as you keep doing Home Free you have a fan for life. That was Robs voice you were commenting on. You had me laughing so hard☮️
So much fun!, but if you are a fan of the imagery of the video, and that genera, check out Peter Hollens Sky Rim videos. There are two that are my favorites. The full “The Dragon Born Comes “ video, where he over-lays 120 tracks of himself creating All the harmonies, including Dragon Toung, and another more fun version video, with Lyndsey Sterling and her violin, dueling with magic and weapons ( Lindsey claims victory with her violin bow). Great music.
When this first came out I think lots of people had to watch it multiple times so that they could focus on the music/vocals separately from the video. As you could tell it hard to do both at once!
This is one of their best videos - I absolutely adore it! They must have had so much fun, wish I could have joined in!!! Loving your Home Free journey, you can't go wrong!
This is my favorite video by Home Free. They are like brothers and they looked like they had so much fun making this. I loved your reaction. Thank you for brightening up my day!😁
This was incredible! I LOVED the original, their take on this was phenomenal! The vocals FREAKING PHENOMENAL! All together, and I’m not great with math, but I think it adds up to FREAKING PHENOMENAL!!!
Very good reaction! You aren't the only person who had trouble listening to the lyrics and watching the video! I'm impressed how much you did hear! I still have to not watch the video to really enjoy the song.
Almost everyone says the same thing; we get so caught up in the video we have to re-listen a couple of times to hear the music! The lovely trilling highs are Rob, btw.
Thank you for this reaction. I knew you would love it and hope you continue to love it S you have to keep watching it over and over to make sure you didn't miss anything (like Rob singing as he's laying on the ground). If you really want to see what a good time with group would be like, one of my favorites is "Hillbilly Bone". It will help you find your inner country boy self. And teach you some rockin' dance moves. 🕺
"Hillbilly Bone" is great, and to see them with their family/friends again, along with a bit more of their wacky selves, "Good Ol' Boy Good Time" (Home Free original) is 100% MUST SEE!! Watch out whenever someone hands Rob a bow & arrow!! 🎯😳😂
So many great moments in this video. So, listen with eyes shut or in the car on play list. That's where I first heard it and kept in on loop till I got to my destination.
Yes Chance is Boba Fett, Rob is Braveheart, Austin is an Elf, Adam is a Mage, and Tim is Tickle on Toothless from How to train your dragon. They each chose their own character and had a blast with them. I love how Tim tries to look vicious with that costume. The singing is beyond amazing but hard to concentrate on with all that is going on in the background. I loved this video!!! Iowa loves to hear and watch your reactions.
So glad you liked this video! Thank you for the review. Tight harmony, great song, costumes, role playing, so much fun. We love our guys! Love Amberly as a warrior and triumphantly hitting Austin from behind.
This song is written by Bear and Bo Rinehart. It had been performed by the groups: Need to Breathe and Home Free, and by Gavin DeGraw. I have had the lyrics on the wall in front of my desk since I first heard and watched this video because I love the lyrics so much. Thanks for sharing it. Rob is supposedly a character from Braveheart. The girl that took down both Rob and Austin is Austin's 'Better Half'.
As usual, I will say something before I watch your reaction. I looooooooooooooooooooooove this video. Adam Rupp plays DnD and has a room in his house, just for that purpose. I've been playing DnD (and subsequent role-playing games) and LARPing since 1979. I already know BEFORE I watch this that you're going to get a heck of a kick out of it. :) **************************************************************************** This is probably one of my favorite Home Free videos of all. I even teared up at the end when Adam stopped the last enemy and then resurrected the rest of the group. Then, the little bit at the end where Adam is reading a book called "Make Your Own Magic" just is the topper on the cake!
These guys are so creative. I love their humor and the stories they come up with in a chosen song. You should check out the video of NeedToBreathe with this song, featuring Gavin DeGraw. While the message is the same, the interpretation is very different. Thanks for your joy in watching and reacting to this video!
It is totally awesome... Adam is a Dungeons & Dragons fanatic...he has a large basement filled with sets and characters, etc. It's great. You really want to see some of his drum solos...my favourite if the one from 2018. Enjoy!
Thank you for this reaction! Not enough people have reacted to this song and it's just beautiful. It took me about a dozen times of watching the video before the song really registered, though! One of my favorite Home Free videos of all time.
I had to watch the video a lot before I noticed that when Austin comforts Rob, he has misplaced his left elf ear. In the background, Amberly keeps whacking somebody. The video was filmed during a heatwave. The water, Capri Sun, and ice bags were definitely needed! They obviously had fun filming.
Love you some Home Free, eh? The concerts are showcases for the talent and their wonderful sense of humor, which are both on display here. In their videos, they often use friends and family. Rob's wife and Austin's girlfriend (the head shaker) are in this one. "Hillbilly Bone," "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer," "Friends in Low Places," "Butts Medley" and several others also contained family/friends abundantly. Always respect when they don't leave the people they've always known behind.
I started watching your videos because you were reacting to a Home Free song, now I am watching them just to watch you! Your reactions are Soo much fun! This is such a great song and such a fun video. Whenever I play it I have to put it on repeat because it just makes me happy!
You're Home Free reaction videos never fail to make a bad day So much better. Thank you for the smiles & laughter.
This song and In the Blood are on all of my playlists!
Adam is huge into Dungeons and Dragons
Rob is 6'4" tall and used to be a football player so you for real don't want him angrily running at you.😆
Luckily these days he's not much of a runner. Austin says that in the days when Rob used to drink rather a lot, he was absolutely terrifying.
There's no words love this song so much 💖🤩..🏡🆓🏡🍟 Love Love Love your reaction 💕💕
How fitting that Adam was the wizard.
Discovering that Adam Rupp is actually a wizard makes so much sense!!!
Adam, I understand, was the one who proposed the idea for the video. Adam is a Dungeonmaster in Dungeons and Dragons. You can see his basement with the D,&D layout and his numerous figurines in Home Free's video Quarantine and Down to the Honky Tonk. These were made during the lockdown at their different homes.
Chance was in a Mandelorian outfit
He is a huge Star Wars fan. The girl who stabbed Austin was Austin's girlfriend, Amberly. Quite a few of the other people, ore, if not all, were various friends. I think the guy who stabbed Tim's dragon was Tim's friend that Introduced Tim to his future wife.
I love Tim's look of outrage when the guy attacks his dragon. A man who values animals. 😍
Oh, it’s Rob singing lead
Home Free has brought a new level of joy to music! Love these talented and handsome men.
Adam Rupp is HUGE into D&D
Adam is now officially in my list of dream d&d party to play with!!!
This did look like it was fun to film, but I guess it was over 100F in Nashville that day and worse when you take humidity into account. That ending with the juice pouches and water and ice packs? Yeah, they were all pretty overheated.
The group they're with is a regular LARP group in Nashville. This was their Pride month LARP, so if you watch you'll catch little rainbow flags and such on shields.
You aren't alone - when us patrons got the video at the beginning of the week before it premiered, many of us had to listen to the song and not watch the video to pay attention. The guys are just too much fun. This was originally by NeedtoBreathe. Great reaction - thanks. 🤣🍟
The first time I watched this, I was so caught up in the action that I totally ignored the music. Had to go back and "watch" it again with my eyes closed. The voice you rhapsodized over was Rob.

These guys can be so adorably loopy and still sing like angels. Doesn't seem fair sometimes, but I love it. Great reaction. Have a great day.
Me too.
I like how she beats the crap out of him in the background during Tim's death scene!
Now you're ready for their Listen to the Music. One or two more, and you might be ready for Mayday. First you need to recognize voices and names. LOL Peace from Kentucky, USA!
I’ve watched your reaction to this song so many times. 🥰Sometimes when I’m low - I come watch it again. As much as they make YOU feel good… the energy of this reaction makes ME feel good. So… just wanted to tell you that. And thank you for it! 😊🙏🏽
Not just any dragon: Toothless, from How to Train Your Dragon. That would make Tim= Hiccup.
Amberly, Austin's lady, (the one who "slays" him, is amazing. They are two peas in a pod. Check out their channel, Beauty and the Bass.
Adam is a huge D&Der. There's a vid on the HF channel showing his home, including one big man-cave with hundreds of hand painted miniatures on one wall, a huge gaming table in the middle. He did have a give away to win a gaming session with him and his buds. Oh, and he wears this get up while riding a mechanical bull in the video for Between A Rock and A Heartache. I think his staff is from a fan.
It was funny because the week Home Free released this video, Voice Play released I Can't Make You Love Me. Home Free are usually the ones to tackle emotional, heartfelt songs, and Voice Play is usually dressed up in costume, so it was like they switched places. 🤣
Also, I do some cosplay as well and loved you talking about your love for the costumes. I definitely need to see an inflatable MegaZord. 😆
Love Train
Listen to the Music
Hillbilly Bone
Can’t Stop the Music
are more of their fun videos with amazing vocals.
Home Free never disappoints.
if you want the Rob special do Home Free's cover of End of the Road by Boys to Men...It is pretty much all Rob...He takes you to church...
Every time you stated about the gorgeous voice…it was Rob! Love your reactions! Keep going down that HF rabbit hole!
Make you Feel my Love, Sold, and Good Ol' Boy Good Time are favorites of mine not listed elsewhere - always a pick-up in whatever mood is resident at the time.
Home Free=Brotherhood=5Brothers💖
Oh this is so awesome!!!! So cool and funny but at the same time so sweet!!! Beautiful how they are dressed up, all one by one fabulous.
What a beautiful start from Chance with a voice so smooth and sexy. And even though it looked cool, it was almost a shame that you didn't see his face through that helmet for a while. 😄
Then our soulful Rob, the teddy bear with his beautiful voice as soft as silk and his very high note!! 💞Who sings while lying down and later received a sweet kiss on his injured finger from Tim.😂
Tim with his beautiful pathetic dragon and who with his bass could have knocked everyone down in my opinion. 😉
Austin with his amazing moves and a voice just like he looked. And I think Amberly loved knocking him down. 😅
Then Adam Rupp, who I think has always been magical with his vocal percussion/vocal sounds, but proved once again that he is The Magier/The Wizard and the glue of Home Free. He was incredible!!🥰
I couldn't hit the play button fast enough-I knew you would enjoy this one!!
And don't apologize for watching a Home Free video instead of listening, it happens to ALL Home Fries😉
And it especially happens with this video. I've heard that "complaint" from so many other reactors, that it's hard to both listen to the voices/lyrics and watch the action at the same time. Hell, I'VE made that "complaint". And then I've turned around and watched it again. Just to see if I could do both, ya know.
If you watch one of the quarantine videos you can see Adam(wizard) his dnd table, mind's and maps
I love him so much more knowing he's a d&d guy!!!
You need to check out Quarantine and Down to the Honkytonk - both done during lockdown - you’ll see some of his D&D set-up
That's Rob's voice you were complimenting. If you want to see an amazing DnD set up watch Home Away From Home Episode 6: Adam's Place!
My husband is envious of Adam's wall of miniatures...
I spent _years_ lrp-ing in the UK (and my nerdy backside misses it now that I'm back in the US) and this video makes my heart happy. Just a nerd note- Adam Rupp is a game geek who paints mini's and makes DnD campaign dungeons
Don't sweat it, my friend - Home Free is always about the whole experience, vocals, videos, emotions, stories... They are masters of it all :)
Many (Most) of their songs take three-four-five views before you get all the details - and I think they only get better every time you watch it.
I just love these guys so much :)
Your reaction is fantastic so I will just say what I did when I first watched it "Finally a video and song that gives Adam Rupp the respect he deserves."
Just proof that Adam can do anything!
Please react to Home Frees covers of: Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Believin', My Heart Will Go On, and then Never Gonna Give You Up....all in one reaction, in that order.
Trust me. It's amazing and hilarious.
Yes please!!! Exactly as written above. You won't be disappointed.
💯 agreed!
Great song & message about "brotherhood" & looking out for each other. The guys looked like they had a lot of fun doing this video. This was my first introduction to "larping".
Great reaction to this video and love it. I love the way tim pettin his dragon when it gets hurt. And the one that hit Austin in the back was his girlfriend!😅
Of all the reactions I've watched to HF's rendition of "Brother" yours is the absolute best, hands down. Your commentary made it almost like watching it for the first time. So glad I'm subbed to your channel, your enthusiasm and genuine joy is so uplifting it boosts my mood every time. Thank you for the joy.
That is so beautiful of you to say!! I'm glad I could bring you some joy!! Thanks so much for subscribing :)
I agree 💯❤️
I had the same thought. Great job. Your enthusiasm is awesome
What Marcia said!
Truth!!!!!❤
Larping and laughing
I have been listening to it all day! ❤❤❤
I think Tim is on Toothless fro “How to Train Your Dragon!!” And if he’s not, I’m still saying he is!! I ❤️ Toothless!!!
Yeah, Tim's a double character: Hiccup riding Toothless. BTW, when Toothless if wounded/killed and Hiccup throws his weapon aside to mourn, if you look behind him to the right you'll see warrior Amberly whacking the hell out of Austin. Too funny
I loved your reaction! I knew you would love the LARP! Thank you for your wonderful happy reaction.
My only complaint was we didn't get to see much of Chances handsome face with that helmet on. But loved the whole thing music, LARPING, theatrics and humor. Austin being whacked and beaten up was by his girlfriend Amberly. They're so cute together. Glad you enjoyed this one. I also would have liked to be part of this video.😂❤
Me too!! 🙋🥰⚔️🌠
He so pretty...
This was fun to watch, got to do some larping before, you have to sign a paper, and you definitely leave with a few bruises by the end of it
She is now his wife!
That was Rob singing. You would love hearing him and Austin singing Nessun Dorma in Austin's YT channel.
So Happy right now ! Love this one !
so good each character is so perfect.
Rob as Braveheart he's a movie buff
Chance Mandalorian total Star wars / Star Trek
Austin and his Amberley are perfect He's an Elf she's a warrior
Tim we call him Dragon breath when he hits the lows he's riding a Dragon like how to train your dragon
and Adam Rupp is clearly a Wizard and the hero !
The excellent voice you were enchanted by was Rob Lundquist. Rob has the singing chops!!
Adam is a huge D&D there is a video from lockdown where they focus on each member...the one about Adam shows his D&D setup and more about how he records his parts.
What an absolute BLAST! 😂❤
It's Home Free ... 'nuff said !!!
I'm sure someone else mentioned it, but the original is by NeedToBreathe, a contemporary Christian group. They are great, and I love their lead singer's voice.
If you enjoyed this, try watching them cover “Working For a Living” by Huey Lewis and the News the video is so funny.
This is How We Roll is pretty great too. Based on The Big Lebowski, Tim fits well into his role as The Dude. And he wears that outfit in 1 or 2 other HF videos.
Yes! Workin’ for a Livin’ is fantastic and hilarious!
It helps add to the humor and actions in the video if you've seen "Anchorman", but not a necessarily! 😂😉 This was a Huey Lewis & the News song and our magical Adam cuts loose with a harmonica ("no-monica") solo that's killer!! 😳🎶❤
Same thing with "This Is How We Roll" - not a necessity seeing "The Big Lebowski" beforehand, but it does make it even funnier if you have!! 👍😉 And, for that particular video, definitely watch the outro (it'll only make sense if you've seen the movie)! These guys crack me up! BONUS: You'll not only laugh your butt off at Austin's get-up, but you get to hear him rap a bit! Haha
You weren't the only one distracted by the video - first viewing I was totally distracted by Adam R!! It's usually Tim that sets my old heart a-flutter but Adam looking so at ease in that getup, being shirtless then pulling off that cartwheel (please someone tell me it actually was him and not a "double"!) just floored me. Can we have him in a similar getup every video? 😍(I'm sure the poor lad would be most embarrassed that a crazy old woman like me looks at him in that way but......😂)
Second viewing I actually managed to listen to the song. Great vocals as always and fab lyrics. It's what this world needs more of now - looking out for each other and less of the selfish, looking out for only oneself. I think it's mainly Rob taking the lead here but whichever one of them it is, it is beautifully done
Your reaction was great! They had to have fun doing this. They said the temperature the day they filmed this was over 100*F. and they all had heavy costumes, especially Rob.
As a Home Fry and a d and d player, this is one of my favorites!! My family has played our first campaign for the last five years now! Turns out I'm a dice goblin. I was buying sooo much dice. Now I make my own.😁🤓
I love this video - the song, the singing, the message of the song and the video itself are all terrific. You have to watch it twice though - once for the video and once for the music. The woman who clubs the elf (Austin) is his lady Amberly and in the background she keeps waling on him. By the way, Adam Rupp has his own channel & is a big DnD player!
I think you'd really enjoy some of the live (audience taken) videos, such as "Timeless with special dancer" ruclips.net/video/w_PwIH6LhJs/видео.html or, more recently, "Home Free w/Maggie Baugh: Delta Dawn". Love your channel & reactions!
Any gamer will tell you this is why you take the mages out first. Especially one with a triforce on his head. Why it is on his head, who knows?
So excited to watch I’m not even waiting to watch, to comment!!!! Lol 🎉
To steal from a commenter on a different reaction to this video: The original was written by Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE and was inspired by a terrible fight with his brother who was, at that time, also a band mate. When they had cooled down enough to really hear each other, they chose to be brothers first and band mates second.
If there is one thing that you could say against HF's videos it is that the video itself often makes you overlook the details of the singing. Some times because of the humor, sometimes because of the pathos. I have shared videos with friends and asked them to not watch it the first time, to just listen so they can concentrate on the music. Not especially useful for a reactor, though.
When I saw the notification that you were doing this, I was soo excited to see your reaction. And I was right. thank you for a great reaction.
The barbarian slaughtering Rob and later Austin is actually Austin's girlfriend. And the silky smooth voice is Rob. If you feel like a soft breeze of sound is caressing you, it's probably Rob. One or two octaves lower, it's probably Chance. 🙂
Austin´s wife now!
Good Lord, you are great to watch!! Love you too!
Chicken!!! You won't say who the other two in your playlist are!! Because it's probably Voice Play, even though you know Home Free with Adam Rupp is the best a-capela group in the world.
I finally had to put my phone face down so that I could actually hear the lyrics when this one came out! The original was written by Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE. Bear and his brother founded the band and at one point had such artistic differences that they had a fight that landed one of them in the hospital. After they had cooled down and were able to hear each other, they talked it out and chose to be brothers first and band mates second. I would recommend that you take a listen to NEEDTOBREATHE at some point. I love their album Out of Body and my favorite (it’s hard to choose) song from the album is Banks. I can’t remember if there is a video for it or not but the lyrics are powerful. I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions to Home Free!
I am sure someone has told you but Adam is a huge D&D fan and has a basement full of characters he has for the board game. Sure it was his idea! This was EPIC!
No, in fact the whole thing was dreamed up and created by the director, Jimmy Bates.
You just can’t beat their talent and gift for humor when it’s rolled up in one song!! LOVE THEM!! Looks like you would give this 10 out of 10 antlers??? ❤
If you haven't already, check out Home Free's cover of Brothers in Arms, originally by Dire Straits. You may want to have a box of tissues close by.
We all went through what you did. I've watched your Home Free videos and I subscribe tonight. As long as you keep doing Home Free you have a fan for life. That was Robs voice you were commenting on. You had me laughing so hard☮️
So much fun!, but if you are a fan of the imagery of the video, and that genera, check out Peter Hollens Sky Rim videos. There are two that are my favorites. The full “The Dragon Born Comes “ video, where he over-lays 120 tracks of himself creating All the harmonies, including Dragon Toung, and another more fun version video, with Lyndsey Sterling and her violin, dueling with magic and weapons ( Lindsey claims victory with her violin bow). Great music.
When this first came out I think lots of people had to watch it multiple times so that they could focus on the music/vocals separately from the video. As you could tell it hard to do both at once!
I love that you talked about the video as well as the vocals. I think it works better when you respond to everything that's going on. Thank you!
This is one of their best videos - I absolutely adore it! They must have had so much fun, wish I could have joined in!!! Loving your Home Free journey, you can't go wrong!
This is my favorite video by Home Free. They are like brothers and they looked like they had so much fun making this. I loved your reaction. Thank you for brightening up my day!😁
G'day from one Aussie to another, loving your reactions
This was incredible! I LOVED the original, their take on this was phenomenal! The vocals FREAKING PHENOMENAL! All together, and I’m not great with math, but I think it adds up to FREAKING PHENOMENAL!!!
It came to the point I had to close my eyes in order to be able to finally listen.
Very good reaction! You aren't the only person who had trouble listening to the lyrics and watching the video! I'm impressed how much you did hear! I still have to not watch the video to really enjoy the song.
Rob looks like William Wallace from Braveheart! Awesome! ❤
The original is by christian band Needtobreathe. Beautiful song, both versions!
The female warrior that takes out Austin is his lady, Amberly.
To take such a beautiful song and interpret it with such humorous elements - and not lose a step in vocal artistry - is a real skill!
Almost everyone says the same thing; we get so caught up in the video we have to re-listen a couple of times to hear the music! The lovely trilling highs are Rob, btw.
Thank you for this reaction. I knew you would love it and hope you continue to love it S you have to keep watching it over and over to make sure you didn't miss anything (like Rob singing as he's laying on the ground).
If you really want to see what a good time with group would be like, one of my favorites is "Hillbilly Bone". It will help you find your inner country boy self. And teach you some rockin' dance moves. 🕺
"Hillbilly Bone" is great, and to see them with their family/friends again, along with a bit more of their wacky selves, "Good Ol' Boy Good Time" (Home Free original) is 100% MUST SEE!! Watch out whenever someone hands Rob a bow & arrow!! 🎯😳😂
So many great moments in this video. So, listen with eyes shut or in the car on play list. That's where I first heard it and kept in on loop till I got to my destination.
The “larper” who shook her head & then took out Austin is his girlfriend, Amberley. 💜
She also appears in Between a Rock and a Heartache, as a predatory barkeeper with her eye on Austin.
Yes Chance is Boba Fett, Rob is Braveheart, Austin is an Elf, Adam is a Mage, and Tim is Tickle on Toothless from How to train your dragon. They each chose their own character and had a blast with them. I love how Tim tries to look vicious with that costume. The singing is beyond amazing but hard to concentrate on with all that is going on in the background. I loved this video!!! Iowa loves to hear and watch your reactions.
It's not Toothless. There's red under the wings and it has horns. Toothless has neither.
@lindaarledge3929 very true!
It just gave me those vibes I guess. Still too cute to be dangerous. Lol
That was just an amazing video 😂 love the humor in it, especially Tim and his magestic dragon 😂

Adam Rupp is a serious D&D fan. One birthday, they gave him a Tiamat cake, he freaked out.
So glad you liked this video! Thank you for the review. Tight harmony, great song, costumes, role playing, so much fun. We love our guys! Love Amberly as a warrior and triumphantly hitting Austin from behind.
This song is written by Bear and Bo Rinehart. It had been performed by the groups: Need to Breathe and Home Free, and by Gavin DeGraw. I have had the lyrics on the wall in front of my desk since I first heard and watched this video because I love the lyrics so much. Thanks for sharing it. Rob is supposedly a character from Braveheart. The girl that took down both Rob and Austin is Austin's 'Better Half'.
So good. Wow they just never miss. Home Free Mood is a thing.
I’m in love with Adam!!!! ❤
Lol I really loved your reaction ❤❤ funny video and great message ❤
I hope someone before me in the 300+ comments mentioned this is LARPing- very popular in US. The song with it was just an added gem.
LARPing (typo above)
As usual, I will say something before I watch your reaction. I looooooooooooooooooooooove this video. Adam Rupp plays DnD and has a room in his house, just for that purpose. I've been playing DnD (and subsequent role-playing games) and LARPing since 1979.
I already know BEFORE I watch this that you're going to get a heck of a kick out of it. :)
****************************************************************************
This is probably one of my favorite Home Free videos of all. I even teared up at the end when Adam stopped the last enemy and then resurrected the rest of the group. Then, the little bit at the end where Adam is reading a book called "Make Your Own Magic" just is the topper on the cake!
These guys are so creative. I love their humor and the stories they come up with in a chosen song. You should check out the video of NeedToBreathe with this song, featuring Gavin DeGraw. While the message is the same, the interpretation is very different. Thanks for your joy in watching and reacting to this video!
This so very awesome! It is so well done. Their voices are so beautiful! Love your reaction.
It is totally awesome... Adam is a Dungeons & Dragons fanatic...he has a large basement filled with sets and characters, etc. It's great. You really want to see some of his drum solos...my favourite if the one from 2018. Enjoy!
Chance looks amazing as a knight of the round table.
Rob is Braveheart, Austin is an Elf, Tim is Game of thrones. Chance is Star Wars
Thank you for this reaction! Not enough people have reacted to this song and it's just beautiful. It took me about a dozen times of watching the video before the song really registered, though! One of my favorite Home Free videos of all time.
Yes Chance looks like a mid evil Boba Fett!
I had to watch the video a lot before I noticed that when Austin comforts Rob, he has misplaced his left elf ear. In the background, Amberly keeps whacking somebody. The video was filmed during a heatwave. The water, Capri Sun, and ice bags were definitely needed! They obviously had fun filming.
Such a fun video by Home Free, and such a good reaction! Keep being you and keep doing what you are doing!

Love you some Home Free, eh? The concerts are showcases for the talent and their wonderful sense of humor, which are both on display here. In their videos, they often use friends and family. Rob's wife and Austin's girlfriend (the head shaker) are in this one. "Hillbilly Bone," "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer," "Friends in Low Places," "Butts Medley" and several others also contained family/friends abundantly. Always respect when they don't leave the people they've always known behind.
Love your Geeking out with so much love for the LARP. So exciting to watch you catch it all.
I started watching your videos because you were reacting to a Home Free song, now I am watching them just to watch you! Your reactions are Soo much fun! This is such a great song and such a fun video. Whenever I play it I have to put it on repeat because it just makes me happy!
