This song, as others have stated, is originally Scottish, meaning to remember the old days, old friends, with love and kindness. I was taught that we sing it at the New Year lest we forget what is and has been important in our lives. This rendition is glorious, it’s always a treat when Adam sings also! The song you referred to is by Dan Fogelburg and is another song entirely, but really worth a listen also, beautiful and sad.
@@tinah8833 it’s one of my favorites, I love Dan Fogelburg. Another great one of his is ‘Leader of the Band’. It brings me wonderful memories of my own father. Nice to meet another fan!
I think you've been rather misled. The song in itself is simply an appeal to remember old times with kindness, not just between two people, but is used throughout the English-speaking world as a New Year ritual at parties and other gatherings. Everyone stands in a circle holding hands (hence "here's a hand my trusty friend") and sings the song together. It's a lovely experience, and I'm a bit surprised you haven't come across it. This is a fabulous version, with Austin and Chance's ability to touch the heart and Rob's uniquely kind voice coming to the fore.
So stunning! It’s Scottish (maybe written by Robert Burns in the 1700’s). Famous for New Years Eve when you look back at friends/family (especially if they passed away) or times past. It’s wistful and beautiful. Home Free harmonies kill it! Good reaction Nick. Hope you had wonderful holidays too! 🥰😍😄
I love that all five of them sang in this song…Adam Rupp didn’t have a solo. Too bad he also has a great voice…Harmonies don’t get any better than this!! Can’t wait to see the signs they’ll produce in 2024! Happy new year
Just so you know, the song you looked up was the wrong one. That was a Dan Fogelburg song called “Same Old Auld Lang Syne”. It’s also an amazing song if you want to check it out! This is the traditional (Originality in Scottish, but partly translated into English) song. It’s basically about remembering the good old days and people you’ve known and lost and drinking in remembrance of them. Remembering the old, while looking forward to the new.
Wasn't that absolutely STUNNING?? I can listen to that a million times & never get tired of it. You need to check out their collab w/ Lee Greenwood & the Air Force singing Sargents version of "God Bless the USA" & their hurricane Harvey relief effort, cover of "God Bless Texas"!❤
As a Scot 🏴 Auld Lang Syne is in my bones. This version is one of my absolute favourites! My only criticism is the pronunciation of Syne…..it’s pronounced with an “s” & not a “z” (that’s me just nitpicking slightly) as always I love your reactions, this one is a heart stirring rendition & I love to see people’s reaction to it! Happy New Year Nick 🎉
This is a very old song and tune that I have loved most of my life. I never get tired of its music and lyrics. What a fitting song to bridge the passing of the old and embarking on the new one.🎉
Someone has wake up with a headache hear today, sorry for that a say it that a think it was a Christmas song and ant then a say a think it was Irish. A LOVE THIS VERSION 💝💝
I love how Home Free keeps a lot of their video environments simple--allows the focus to be on their incredible acapella vocals. Just amazing 5-part harmonies! Home Free makes every song better!! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ #HomeFree #AdamRuppSinging
Thought it was "ye olde English," but, alas. it's not. It is old Scottish, as in 18th century Scott. It literally translates to "old long since." Technically it means, "times gone by." However, don't know how you would have missed this, as it is sung in America Every New Year's Eve/Day.
I grew up hearing this played every New Year's Eve by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians and just love this song. Their singing & harmonies are always fantastic and having all 5 of them singing it is just terrific. Thanks for playing this & belated Happy New Year!
Beautiful rendition and beautiful reaction! Majestic is a perfect word to describe those opening notes and harmony, and indeed the entire song! New sub here!! Looking forward to more reactions!! ❤
How wonderful does this sound? This is how Home Free shows how talented they are. Every lead is great. It's a shame that Adam Rupp doesn't have a lead, even though he has such a good voice. Well, I think you can hear him well as a second tenor when Austin has the lead? But that harmony is so amazing, rich and strong.
Happy New Year Nick💞💞And this is one of my Christmas Hymn you just listen to and a think a read somewhere its and very old Irish song. A love that all the guys get to sing they one verse alone. This song is so beautiful a think a se it one more and pay attention on your reaction thanks Nick hugs from Norway. 🫂🫂💞💞👏🏽👏🏽
Loved the reaction, this one isn't reacted to as much as it should be. I hope you will be doing a reaction to "Angel's We Have Heard On High" I think it's HF's most beautiful Christmas song, and another one that isn't reacted to as often.
The song you accidentally looked up is "Same Auld Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg, about his chance meeting of an old girlfriend. Touching song on its own, but different from the classic song.
New Year Celebration SONG .... in any language THIS TITLE is simply Remember the past, look to the future and have kindness in recollection of our shared times ! Just sounds BETTER IF YOUR SINGERS ARE FIVE PHENOMENAL SINGERS that blend like this !!! You stated the middle vocal chorale voices of Rob, Adam Rupp (beat boxer otherwise) Adam Chance .... but, left out Tim & Austin the Low and high in this ensemble. GBjj

I was going to say this, so I'm glad you mentioned it. I loved that song by Dan Fogelberg.

Anytime we get Adam Rupp (beat boxer) contributing to the harmonies..you get next level mix..

SORRY.
Auld Lang Syne is Scottish. Literally, "old long since," referring to old times. Nice reaction.
5 voices + close harmony= shivers up the spine. Great reaction. Happy New Year 🎉🎉
So stunning! It’s Scottish (maybe written by Robert Burns in the 1700’s). Famous for New Years Eve when you look back at friends/family (especially if they passed away) or times past.

To my ears, this one, as well as their "Helplessly Hoping," are absolutely flawless.
My all time favorite rendition of this beautiful old song ❤🎉

This really is the most glorious rendition ever! It's moving. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The meeting by chance on Christmas eve is another song. You may want to check out Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg.

I can’t hear the first 2 notes and I tear up, being Scottish it’s like hearing the bagpipes x
Both Home Free and Pentatonix just SLAY this timeless classic! Great reaction!

A loose translation of "for auld lang sine" is for days long past. It is a way of saying to memories of "long ago" days long forgotten.
