"Hopelessly Hoping" is another song with amazing harmonies, but if you think your are ready and feel you understand each members roll with the group than you may be ready for "Mayday". The vocal percussion and harmonies will amaze you and it has a few surprises for those who are truely ready. Many persons reacting to "Mayday" are discouraged from doing so until they have listen to at least 8-9 of their songs and familiar with the group but you may be an exception.
No Mayday until you hear more of their songs. To understand each of their voices. Do yourself a favor and wait . You will appreciate the song and these 5 men more
Yes, I think he is ready for "Mayday". He (think) knows Tim bass voice, Chance baritone and Adams beatbox skills, the beautiful voices of Austin and Rob. He thing nothing can surprise him, he have heard all the angel sing and.... *blaaame!* 😁🤯😳😲😜
Tim is the low bass but Chance fills in a lot of that lower harmony. Their richness of tone can not be overlooked. It's like listening to an organ....but with voices.
@Rick Knisely Adam Chance has an airy quality to his voice. Very soothing. The members I'm sure appreciate him after he took over for Chris. And more and more the Home Fries are realizing what he brings to the group. But it needs to be said more.
Chance fits perfectly into the group and he is just as musically versatile as the others. When you first said "that Bass" at the end of Tim's opening run, that was Chance coming in under Tim. Love your reactions and may you have a blessed New Year.
Tim's beefy bass Rob's sweet tenor Austin kan belt out those notes with no sweat Chance's smooth soothing baritone And Adam is there, to glue the harmonies to pich perfect proportions.
Again, Larry, I MUST thank you for your eridite and exciting reviews of Home Free and PTX. Yes, they are, indeed, very special. As several others have stated I also believe that you are ready now for the cover of Mayday. It's in a whole different class. For a truly awesome experience, check it out.
Beautiful song, and so is "Helplessly Hoping" as Audrey mentioned. But still my favorite harmonizing song of theirs is "Seven Bridges Road". i actually discovered Home Free, by looking up the Eagles performing this!
"Audible gluttony" .. perfect description! Home Free gives such wondrous gifts, dont they? Thank you for fulfilling my request.. I play this often, but certainly every New Years. Enjoy your journey.. the man at the board is Darren Rust.. superb producer and musician in his own right. He is the owner of the home that is invaded by the Home Free Christmas Carolers in the "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer " video. and I believe he is the one that does the awesome do wop sound in Snowglobe... Stay Safe!
Seconded. Really enjoying Larry's reactions to Home Free! It will be cool to see him react to Eivor as well. Always wanted to ask Adam Rupp if he'd heard her throat singing!
This was the very first Home Free song I ever heard. After this, I never stopped. Every song after this one, I had to hear. I've never once been disappointed, no matter what song they sing. Cover or not...They rock whatever they sing.. No matter the genre.. They rock it !! Never been so impressed with an a cappella band, as I am with these 5 guys.. In my opinion, they are far and away, the best a cappella band ever !!
Saw a video today of Home Free (when recording studio is closed for the holiday) all in a shower stall singing Auld Lang Syne in the shower stall. Adam Rupp looked terrified. Tim, Adam, and Austin shot out leaving Chance and Rob with Chance's hand on the knobs! Too funny!
They each are amazing in their own right but together they are simply genius! As others have mentioned Seven Bridges Road and Helplessly Hoping are definite highlights along with How Great Thou Art!
The beauty of these guys is the fact that each have such unique textures to their voices as soloist, yet when they blend into the harmony, they unify all those unique textures into smooth as silk harmonic heaven. Usually performers have a solo voice or a background voice, but Home Free have all perfected both. And don't forget the beat boxer, Adam Rupp, who just abandons his wheel house to blend right in. Amazing!
The beginning of "Do you hear what I hear" also starts out not sounding like the tune , but in the next moment you know what your listening to. Their just so gloriously talented!. Nice reaction!
Home Free competed in Season 4 of The Sing-Off, which ran during the month of December. You can find all of their Sing-Off Performances, including the judges' comments, on RUclips for reaction purposes. The very last song they did was a Christmas song with Jewel, one of the judges. They sang Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
HOME FREE collaborated with the late, great Kenny Rogers. The song is "CHILDREN, GO WHERE I SEND THEE" and is absolutely phenomenol! It shows the versatility of HOME FREE and is sooo beautiful! It could be a CHRISTMAS song but really it is a beautiful story of Christianity!!! This song is strong, powerful, and very "light" in it's vocal story! You will really miss so much if you don't hear this great song! It is extremely lovely and leaves you singing this song for days. IT IS ONE OF KENNY ROGERS LAST SONGS THAT HE RECORDED. PLEASE play this song, you will not regret it! HAPPY NEW YEAR to my new favorite reactor!!!
Larry, I absolutely love your excitement when reacting to Home Free! Your smile is priceless along with your goosebumps! Until I heard Home Free's version of this song, I never liked it! It was cold & depressing! Their amazing voices & arrangement are so beautiful, it seems warmer & hopeful! I just wish Adam also had a verse, because his voice is gorgeous too! Please react to more of these guys in the coming year since you have about 170 more of their videos to go! I wish you & ALL the "Home Fries" a Happier New Year & may God bless each & every one of you!
So glad you listened to this song...so simple yet not if that makes sense. Chance has such a warmth to his voice at the end... Each of these gentlemen bring so much to every song. Thank you again Sir, and have a safe and Happy New Year!
Thank you for recognizing the arranger. This is someone who knows the “instruments” available to him and uses them to their fullest! Their individual talents are exceptional but collectively they are truly amazing! Great reaction!
Non Country songs When a Man Loves a Woman. Best . . .Cover . . .EVER! Helplessly Hoping- Unbelievable harmonies How Great Thou Art- Absolutely beautiful rendition and stunning location American Pie with Don McClean- done as a 50 year tribute of the song. A fun song- Sea Shanty Medley w beat boxing castanets! Just plane fun
I found you because of Home Free! I know you found HF when PTX was blocked, but I hope you realize how much talent this group has. So, I'm subscribed. I know that you love PTX, but I also know, you will LOVE, like no other band, HOME FREE! So, let's go!!! ❤️ HOME FREE is what we will ALWAYS show up for! P. S...you know what you're hearing, I love that! You LISTEN, respond, react!! Thank you!!! EVERYTHING you say, is truth, and brings you joy, so, it brings us joy! 😉❤️
Larry this has been my GO TO for midnight the last 4 years...and it will be once again tonight. Larry, can you do one of their country covers...I believe you'll enjoy it....the harmonies are, as always, unbelievable, but also Adam the beatboxer shines, and you also get to see Chance lead for a change....it's "Some Girls Do" a cover of Sawyer Brown's 1990's country hit
BEAUTIFUL!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Tim carried the bass throughout. His lead set the tone for this nostalgic piece. Austin, you sounded glorious. Robb...wonderful, Chance...you are always there where you are needed and so beautifully. And, then there is that fantastic freak of nature whose name is Adam Rupp!!! Together these guys turn the most unremarkable song into a MASTERPIECE. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID WITH SONG!!! Thank you once again, HOME FREE, for giving me hope for the next year when I am a little disilousioned by the prospects of the upcoming year. And thank you Larry for allowing me to hear this beautiful NEW YEARS SONG! HOME FREE took an ordinary piece and made it REMERKABLE!
This is my absolute favorite rendition of Auld Lang Syne I've ever heard. The harmonies are out of this world and they just kept it so traditional and didn't feel the need to "jazz it up" with beat boxing. As absolutely wonderful as Adam Rupp is at beat boxing, it just wouldn't have "fit" with this song so it was nice to see him singing.
I am go glad you reacted to this song, your reaction was so soothing and peaceful and your voice is just so smooth and pleasing. What a nice way to enter into a New Year and I hope it is a better one for the world. I think now you realize the difference between Home Free and the other a capella groups. With HF you feel the emotion !!!! Chiils and goosebumps every time with certain songs, it never gets old.
They do this song live the same as the video. When the concert was over. The lights went down, they came back on stage with all 5 of them around the microphone. Besides them singing, the entire theater was quiet, no one talked, coughed, ect due to we all knew we were witness to something truly amazing. If you get a chance, see them!
The dynamics of the melodies and frequency coverage their voices provide makes the experience complete. They're pro's at it. And the guy at the board is Darren Rust...their producer and mastermind behind it all. Happy New Year to you and yours sir.
@@larryshair Darren has been with these guys from at least The Singoff, if not before, as has their choreographer. That should tell you something about the quality of men they are & their character!
It has done my heart so good to find someone who understands and so enjoys the magical music this group creates! Love watching you discover their magic and gifts. Listen to all their music- you will continue to be blessed. Thank you for sharing what you discover.
Another great reaction Sir!!! So many songs that these gentlemen have covered and also their originals. I know you love their amazing Harmonies. How great Thou Art., When a Man Loves a Woman, In the Blood. More up beat Hillbilly Bone, Working for a Living. Ehhh whatever you decide to listen to you won't regret
This is pure magic happening! I love when we hear that beautiful 5-part harmony! I am the same way, Larry! I can’t get enough of their music. Loved your reaction here! Can’t wait to see what they have in the upcoming year of 2022! Happy New Year!
Many of Home Free’s arrangements are done by Darren Rust (the producer in this video). The guys consider him to be the sixth member of Home Free. He’s also a member of The Blenders, an a cappella group that’s been performing for many years. You have only scratched the service of the story of Home Free. I’ll enjoy watching you discover more about them. Thanks for sharing your amazement, appreciation and joy when viewing Home Free.
Thank you for the shout out. That's awesome! I seriously want Chance's jacket. Such an amazing song. I look forward to hearing it every year. Thank you for sharing it with me. Everything they do is...perfect.
I hope you noticed that beautiful flute fluttering around there above their heads like an enchanted dragonfly. That, believe it or not, is Adam, the beats guy.
Short and most sweet this one is. I think the doubling up of the bass with Tim and Chance is what sets this apart. You were warned about this rabbit hole, no it's to late to turn back. I would very much like to see your reaction to Brothers in Arms.
Yay, you’re right! Perfect ending! So glad you chose this for tonight. Thank you for your wishes and blessings, and may I wish you and yours all the best for 2022! Looking forward to seeing you again soon, lots of love from the UK 🥰🥳
Rod Stewart does a beautiful version, I'm from Melbourne, Victoria Australia 🇦🇺, here's to us losing our title of the most locked down city in the world 🌎
Wonderful as usual harmonies are just crazy. K gonna give you a list of songs maybe a little long lol but hard to choose HELPLESSLY HOPING by CSN END OF THE ROAD by Boys 2 Men
Happy New Year Larry!! Home Free is just amazing. Maybe check out How Great Thou Art, Mayday, or if you like the oldies, check out their version of their cover to the Patsy Cline song "Crazy"...
You don't often get to hear Adam Rupp sing, but when you do, you get these gorgeous 5-part harmonies. I got to hear them do this in concert earlier this month. And they sang it just like the video - the 5 of them standing around the one microphone. Just stunning. Oh, and Happy New Year!
When they perform it live, they perform it just as the video shows them...standing around a single old fashioned mic. Gives me chills every time!! For pure harmonies from them check out Helplessly Hoping. I have come to realize when I listen to it, I almost stop breathing, it is just that stunning. I have also watched video of the performing it live, off mic and you could have heard a pin drop!
Robert Burns penned this after an old Scott folk song. He later put to paper a more “traditional “ version, in the old Scott wording. (Oddly, the older version was published after the more recognizable version that we know today.) The melody, as well as the words, were slightly different then what we hear today. I haven’t been able to find an example of the folk melody, however, Dougie Maclean’s Tribute to Robert Robert Burns is done in the more traditional Scott accent. If for no other reason, it’s a fun bit of history to clog up your brain with! (Lol)
Sheer perfection!! Thank you so much for what you do, I love your enthusiasm, your smile, and the fact that you allow your followers to suggest songs for you to critique. I'm so glad you discovered Home Free, they are my favorite group.
I agree with others, "Helplessly Hoping" should definitely be your next one, the harmonies are incredible! Then, I think you'll be ready for "Mayday" next. I really am enjoying your channel, keep up the great work! 👍
Thanks Larry! I can actually "feel" that you really "get" our guy's! This is another one that I feel is absolute Perfection! It's a treasure! May I please request your reaction to - "HELPLESSLY HOPING" "AMAZING GRACE" "MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW" from the George Clooney movie O Brother Where Art Thou "WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN" cover of Percy Sledge "FOLSOM PRISON BLUE'S" cover of Johnny Cash Happy New Year and wishes for many blessings to you and your loved ones!
I love your reactions! The Joy on your face when you listen to these guys is spiritual! The Joy they bring to the world is amazing we have truly been blessed! May more blessings come your way! And by the way you've got to love one Adam Rupp sings, he has such a range and beautiful voice!
Oh thank you for reacting to this one, your facial expressions and 'Im blown away' head shakes are wonderful! I hope you check out Helplessly Hoping, it has phenomenal harmonies.
I love when they all sing on one microphone. This is absolutely beautiful for sure. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song. Happy New Year to you and your family.
This song is always haunting, the melody and the sentiment. I've never heard it done any better than HF. It's simply beautiful and grabs your heart in a special way. May you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I love watching folks react to Home Free that have not heard them or heard much of them. You, sir, are only at the entrance of the rabbit hole that is HOME FREE!!! If you wish to see some of the history of the group, I would suggest you check out all their performances on the "sing off" TV show, there is one video with just the songs and also one with all the judges comments and some history of the group included. both are well worth your time. As for what to react to next.... Try "Hillbilly Bone" or "Ring of Fire". For a laugh and to see the funnier side of them, check out the "Butts Remix". Really any of their stuff is mind blowing and a delight to hear.
To many of us, it is still Christmas so another suggestion is A Tennessee Christmas by Home Free with a guest artist. As for this review… once agin, I love your reactions! You have now experienced “the wow factor” to the 6th degree. Welcome! Yes, I Love your reactions!! Tim’s and Adam Chance’s low notes compliment each other so well. But, sit back and re-watch this video as you listen. Darren is at the sound booth controls; and while the 5 men of Home Free are absolutely fabulous (!!!!!) and I love, love their sound. Darren is a genius at the mixing and arranging many of the Home Free recordings…. Not all the arrangements as several of those HF men are music majors and or classically trained. Fun to research their backgrounds…. Yes, I too fell down the rabbit hole into the land of Home Fries!
The guy with Grey hair in the studio is the six member of HF. Darren Rust. Founder of the Blenders. I have their original CD from back in '92. What goes around, comes around.
HF is definitely a blessing to us all. I really appreciate your reactions, and the fact that you completely enjoy them. HF just posted a bit on their FB page where they are singing this song in a shower... and playing a prank on poor Rob. They also have a thank you to their fries and a Happy New Year message. If you've got a few minutes, I'd suggest you check them both out. It's fun and shows some real personality. Austin trying not to giggle while singing was fun. Thank you again for another great reaction!
Thanks so much for reacting to Home Free's rendition of "Auld Lang Syne". As someone else mentioned there is a video of the singing it as less of a production. As a New Year's Eve baby it always has been a song I have always listened to on my birthday. My parents always tuned in to it being played by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians. Best wishes to you and yours for 2022 and beyond.
I never cared for A Capello music but after hearing Home Free, I was a home fry immediately. You hear all the words which is a delight for this 70/yr. old man.... Thanks for the tract..... looking for more!
Thank you for this professional reaction to Home Free. I became addicted to this groups music and talent the first song of theirs that heard. I think the first was Man of Constant Sorrow. If you haven't done that reaction yet; you really need to do that one. I could name another 10 or more of their songs that would make great reaction videos. In this reaction, you brought home exactly how I feel when I watch this Auld Lang Syne cover.
12k now ? :-)))))))) No wonder. This was a WONDERFUL reaction! And to a very beautiful arrangement indeed. Home Free is a great group. And I have to thank you for letting me on to them. And PTX. And did I mention NF ? I don't think I did. So thanks a lot, bud. And a very Happy New Year to you and your family ! I Can't really wait to share some more musical experiences with you. We're more or less on the same sheet, I have understood that much. LOL BTW, I'm already in 2022, and it's been great so far. Come along :-)
Sorry pushed wrong button here's the rest lol LOVE TRAIN by O Jay's TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS by John DENVER BROTHERS IN ARMS by Diar Strait MY CHURCH by Marean Morris MAYDAY by Cam AMWRICAN PIE with original singer Don FOLSOM PRISON BLUES by Johnny Cash CRAZY by Patsy Cline CANT STOP THIS FEELING by Justin T BLUE AINT YOUR COLOR to laugh BUTTES REMIX AND ALL ABOUT THAT BASS I know alot but not all lol hopefully can find a few you like HAPPY NEW YEAR
Home Free did so many quarantine videos! It wish I had known about them then, but now I’m having fun catching up and watching them now! So many beautiful songs and I also love the comedy! I’m an old Disco queen and R&B fan, but I really don’t care for country either, except for this group! I feel every note when they perform! Thanks!! 😊
Happy New Year! You've been a joy and pleasure! We love our Gentlemen and love your enthusiasm for them. Us Home Fries will gladly lead you through all of HF's finest.
The only group that has done the song justice. They add more meaning to the sentiment.
"Hopelessly Hoping" is another song with amazing harmonies, but if you think your are ready and feel you understand each members roll with the group than you may be ready for "Mayday". The vocal percussion and harmonies will amaze you and it has a few surprises for those who are truely ready. Many persons reacting to "Mayday" are discouraged from doing so until they have listen to at least 8-9 of their songs and familiar with the group but you may be an exception.
Yes do Mayday !!
No Mayday until you hear more of their songs. To understand each of their voices. Do yourself a favor and wait . You will appreciate the song and these 5 men more
Yes, I think he is ready for "Mayday". He (think) knows Tim bass voice, Chance baritone and Adams beatbox skills, the beautiful voices of Austin and Rob. He thing nothing can surprise him, he have heard all the angel sing and.... *blaaame!*
😁🤯😳😲😜
Another vote for Helplessly Hoping. It has amazing harmonies and timing.
Tim is the low bass but Chance fills in a lot of that lower harmony.
Their richness of tone can not be overlooked. It's like listening to an organ....but with voices.
@Rick Knisely Adam Chance has an airy quality to his voice. Very soothing. The members I'm sure appreciate him after he took over for Chris.
And more and more the Home Fries are realizing what he brings to the group.
But it needs to be said more.
Chance fits perfectly into the group and he is just as musically versatile as the others. When you first said "that Bass" at the end of Tim's opening run, that was Chance coming in under Tim. Love your reactions and may you have a blessed New Year.
P.S. Chance also carries the bass on Mary Did You Know.
The man in the booth is Darron Rust their musical producer. He's a very real part of their brilliance and has been for years. Total ear candy.
Hello Cassis how are you doing,is nice meeting you here.
Tim's beefy bass
Rob's sweet tenor
Austin kan belt out those notes with no sweat
Chance's smooth soothing baritone
And Adam is there, to glue the harmonies to pich perfect proportions.
Again, Larry, I MUST thank you for your eridite and exciting reviews of Home Free and PTX. Yes, they are, indeed, very special. As several others have stated I also believe that you are ready now for the cover of Mayday. It's in a whole different class. For a truly awesome experience, check it out.
Will do, Tom. Happy New Year, my friend.
Beautiful song, and so is "Helplessly Hoping" as Audrey mentioned. But still my favorite harmonizing song of theirs is "Seven Bridges Road". i actually discovered Home Free, by looking up the Eagles performing this!
Seven Bridges Road rarely gets any love. I wonder if it's a copyright strike since it's an Eagles property.
But I agree, one of my favorites
"Seven Bridges Road" also one of my favorites on the harmonies.
"Audible gluttony" .. perfect description! Home Free gives such wondrous gifts, dont they? Thank you for fulfilling my request.. I play this often, but certainly every New Years. Enjoy your journey.. the man at the board is Darren Rust.. superb producer and musician in his own right. He is the owner of the home that is invaded by the Home Free Christmas Carolers in the "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer " video. and I believe he is the one that does the awesome do wop sound in Snowglobe... Stay Safe!
What I love about these guys is how well their voices blend together. That and the fact that they all take turns singing lead.
While you're still on Home Free check out Crazy. Patsy's version in black and white. Truly AWESOME!
Seconded. Really enjoying Larry's reactions to Home Free! It will be cool to see him react to Eivor as well. Always wanted to ask Adam Rupp if he'd heard her throat singing!
This was the very first Home Free song I ever heard. After this, I never stopped. Every song after this one, I had to hear. I've never once been disappointed, no matter what song they sing. Cover or not...They rock whatever they sing.. No matter the genre.. They rock it !! Never been so impressed with an a cappella band, as I am with these 5 guys..

They each are amazing in their own right but together they are simply genius! As others have mentioned Seven Bridges Road and Helplessly Hoping are definite highlights along with How Great Thou Art!
I so love their voices, I think this is the first time I truly heard the words of this beautiful song
Austin bends notes like nobody else! HF symphonic orchestra!!!
The beauty of these guys is the fact that each have such unique textures to their voices as soloist, yet when they blend into the harmony, they unify all those unique textures into smooth as silk harmonic heaven. Usually performers have a solo voice or a background voice, but Home Free have all perfected both. And don't forget the beat boxer, Adam Rupp, who just abandons his wheel house to blend right in. Amazing!
Oh please react this! its right in you're wheel house sir.
That describes them better than anything I have heard or thought
When I first heard this, I thought maybe a choir of Angels had come down to earth to sing to me. Chills all over.
Home Free is a prescription for the soul ( at least for me) they just make me feel so calm😍
most elegant harmonies in recorded civilization!!!
Home Free is such a rabbit hole to be going down.... They have more surprises than most other groups...
The beginning of "Do you hear what I hear" also starts out not sounding like the tune , but in the next moment you know what your listening to. Their just so gloriously talented!. Nice reaction!
Hello Dawn how do you feel when listening to this beautiful song?
Home Free competed in Season 4 of The Sing-Off, which ran during the month of December. You can find all of their Sing-Off Performances, including the judges' comments, on RUclips for reaction purposes. The very last song they did was a Christmas song with Jewel, one of the judges.

It could be a CHRISTMAS song but really it is a beautiful story of Christianity!!! This song is strong, powerful, and very "light" in it's vocal story! You will really miss so much if you don't hear this great song! It is extremely lovely and leaves you singing this song for days. IT IS ONE OF KENNY ROGERS LAST SONGS THAT HE RECORDED. PLEASE play this song, you will not regret it! HAPPY NEW YEAR to my new favorite reactor!!!

I wish you & ALL the "Home Fries" a Happier New Year & may God bless each & every one of you!

Try their cover of Helplessly Hoping by Crosby, Stills and Nash. 5 part harmony at its best.
So glad you listened to this song...so simple yet not if that makes sense. Chance has such a warmth to his voice at the end... Each of these gentlemen bring so much to every song. Thank you again Sir, and have a safe and Happy New Year!
Thank you for recognizing the arranger. This is someone who knows the “instruments” available to him and uses them to their fullest! Their individual talents are exceptional but collectively they are truly amazing! Great reaction!
He is always so honest in his reactions. Love him to bits an Home Free too

This seems to be a very popular song with reactors today, I've heard 3 so far and loved each one. Thanks so much for all your reactions.
This is my absolute favorite rendition of Auld Lang Syne I've ever heard. The harmonies are out of this world and they just kept it so traditional and didn't feel the need to "jazz it up" with beat boxing.

Thank you so much!!
Chance and his two little runs in the bass lead are just NICE!
They do this song live the same as the video. When the concert was over. The lights went down, they came back on stage with all 5 of them around the microphone.

Hello Judy how are you doing,it amazing to meet you here.
Another great reaction Sir!!! So many songs that these gentlemen have covered and also their originals. I know you love their amazing Harmonies.

Thanks Ryan!
It sounded exactly like this on their concert stage, just one 🎤 and brings you to your feet
I hope you noticed that beautiful flute fluttering around there above their heads like an enchanted dragonfly. That, believe it or not, is Adam, the beats guy.
You're such a wonderful blessing Chris! What a perfect ending to this year. NAMASTE to a master! Wishing you and yours a very blessed 2022!!! Patti
lol, thanks Patti! Same to you!
They did it again. They took a song I can't stand and made me like it. Damn.
Perfect cacophony of perfection- love this!!!
Short and most sweet this one is. I think the doubling up of the bass with Tim and Chance is what sets this apart. You were warned about this rabbit hole, no it's to late to turn back. I would very much like to see your reaction to Brothers in Arms.
Like you, I can't get enough of these amazing singers! They always astound me! Thanks for sharing!
That is the best I have ever heard this song done. Great reaction
Yay, you’re right! Perfect ending! So glad you chose this for tonight. Thank you for your wishes and blessings, and may I wish you and yours all the best for 2022! Looking forward to seeing you again soon, lots of love from the UK 🥰🥳
Same to you!
Rod Stewart does a beautiful version, I'm from Melbourne, Victoria Australia 🇦🇺, here's to us losing our title of the most locked down city in the world 🌎
Wonderful as usual harmonies are just crazy. K gonna give you a list of songs maybe a little long lol but hard to choose
HELPLESSLY HOPING by CSN
END OF THE ROAD by Boys 2 Men
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!🎉 they sang this as an encore when i saw them in december and it was just as amazing!
Happy New Year Larry!! Home Free is just amazing. Maybe check out How Great Thou Art, Mayday, or if you like the oldies, check out their version of their cover to the Patsy Cline song "Crazy"...
You don't often get to hear Adam Rupp sing, but when you do, you get these gorgeous 5-part harmonies. I got to hear them do this in concert earlier this month. And they sang it just like the video - the 5 of them standing around the one microphone. Just stunning. Oh, and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Ann!
Beautiful song and Chances singing is soothing. Hats off to them all!
Hello Carolyn how do you feel when listening to this beautiful song?
When they perform it live, they perform it just as the video shows them...standing around a single old fashioned mic. Gives me chills every time!!
For pure harmonies from them check out Helplessly Hoping. I have come to realize when I listen to it, I almost stop breathing, it is just that stunning. I have also watched video of the performing it live, off mic and you could have heard a pin drop!
So very lovely. Their harmonies are beyond beautiful. Happy New Year! Really enjoy your appreciation of a cappella music.
Robert Burns penned this after an old Scott folk song. He later put to paper a more “traditional “ version, in the old Scott wording. (Oddly, the older version was published after the more recognizable version that we know today.)
The melody, as well as the words, were slightly different then what we hear today.
I haven’t been able to find an example of the folk melody, however, Dougie Maclean’s Tribute to Robert Robert Burns is done in the more traditional Scott accent.
If for no other reason, it’s a fun bit of history to clog up your brain with! (Lol)
The bass brings out the emotion
I love when all 5 sing. They did such a great job on this. Just left it simple but perplexed at the same time
I've heard them sing this off-mic before, it was still as impressive.
Sheer perfection!! Thank you so much for what you do, I love your enthusiasm, your smile, and the fact that you allow your followers to suggest songs for you to critique. I'm so glad you discovered Home Free, they are my favorite group.
Gives you chills. Awesome as usual. Love these guys.
Rob sounds like some guy in a bar on New year's eve whose voice shocks the crap out of everyone there. Bv's were crazy for whoever was singing lead.
I agree with others, "Helplessly Hoping" should definitely be your next one, the harmonies are incredible! Then, I think you'll be ready for "Mayday" next. I really am enjoying your channel, keep up the great work! 👍
Thanks Larry! I can actually "feel" that you really "get" our guy's! This is another one that I feel is absolute Perfection! It's a treasure! May I please request your reaction to -
"HELPLESSLY HOPING"
"AMAZING GRACE"
"MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW" from the George Clooney movie O Brother Where Art Thou
"WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN" cover of Percy Sledge
"FOLSOM PRISON BLUE'S" cover of Johnny Cash
Happy New Year and wishes for many blessings to you and your loved ones!
I love your reactions! The Joy on your face when you listen to these guys is spiritual! The Joy they bring to the world is amazing we have truly been blessed! May more blessings come your way! And by the way you've got to love one Adam Rupp sings, he has such a range and beautiful voice!
Thanks so much Lx2! You are so very kind!
Love your reaction!! You'll love "Seven Bridges Road" and "Helplessly Hoping" as much! ^i^
Your reactions are always insightful and genuine. Thanks for your comments on this amazing rendition. Happy new year from Texas!
Thanks Robert! Texas will be my future home!
Oh thank you for reacting to this one, your facial expressions and 'Im blown away' head shakes are wonderful! I hope you check out Helplessly Hoping, it has phenomenal harmonies.
I love when they all sing on one microphone. This is absolutely beautiful for sure. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Love the Home Free guys. They are fabulous
First time I heard this song I must have listened to it 50 times...musical genius! Happy New Year everyone!!
Hmm. I got you beat! I must have listened to it at least 51 times 😅
This song is always haunting, the melody and the sentiment. I've never heard it done any better than HF. It's simply beautiful and grabs your heart in a special way. May you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022.
Loved your reaction to this song! Home Free is amazing and this one gives me chills too. Thank you for reacting to this song on New Year's Eve.
Such a pure rendition.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I love watching folks react to Home Free that have not heard them or heard much of them. You, sir, are only at the entrance of the rabbit hole that is HOME FREE!!! If you wish to see some of the history of the group, I would suggest you check out all their performances on the "sing off" TV show, there is one video with just the songs and also one with all the judges comments and some history of the group included. both are well worth your time. As for what to react to next.... Try "Hillbilly Bone" or "Ring of Fire". For a laugh and to see the funnier side of them, check out the "Butts Remix". Really any of their stuff is mind blowing and a delight to hear.
To many of us, it is still Christmas so another suggestion is A Tennessee Christmas by Home Free with a guest artist.
As for this review… once agin, I love your reactions! You have now experienced “the wow factor” to the 6th degree. Welcome! Yes, I Love your reactions!!
Tim’s and Adam Chance’s low notes compliment each other so well.
But, sit back and re-watch this video as you listen. Darren is at the sound booth controls; and while the 5 men of Home Free are absolutely fabulous (!!!!!) and I love, love their sound. Darren is a genius at the mixing and arranging many of the Home Free recordings…. Not all the arrangements as several of those HF men are music majors and or classically trained. Fun to research their backgrounds…. Yes, I too fell down the rabbit hole into the land of Home Fries!
Hello Marilyn how are you doing?
The guy with Grey hair in the studio is the six member of HF.
Darren Rust. Founder of the Blenders.
I have their original CD from back in '92.
What goes around, comes around.
I forgot to say thanks.
Love your HF reactions! You'd like How Great Thou Art and Helplessly Hoping for harmonies as well. Happy new year!
They are a great bunch and I love how they do How Great Though Art
Suppose to be thou.
@@carolynevenson4037 Hello Carolyn how are you doing?
Love this version 🔥 I also love Pentatonix version of this song
Chance is still the bass. AWESOME!
HF is definitely a blessing to us all. I really appreciate your reactions, and the fact that you completely enjoy them. HF just posted a bit on their FB page where they are singing this song in a shower... and playing a prank on poor Rob. They also have a thank you to their fries and a Happy New Year message. If you've got a few minutes, I'd suggest you check them both out. It's fun and shows some real personality. Austin trying not to giggle while singing was fun. Thank you again for another great reaction!
Thanks again, Carolin!
Thanks so much for reacting to Home Free's rendition
of "Auld Lang Syne". As someone else mentioned there
is a video of the singing it as less of a production. As
a New Year's Eve baby it always has been a song I have
always listened to on my birthday. My parents always tuned in to it being played by Guy Lombardo and His
Royal Canadians. Best wishes to you and yours for 2022 and beyond.
I never cared for A Capello music but after hearing Home Free, I was a home fry immediately. You hear all the words which is a delight for this 70/yr. old man.... Thanks for the tract..... looking for more!
Thank you for this professional reaction to Home Free. I became addicted to this groups music and talent the first song of theirs that heard. I think the first was Man of Constant Sorrow. If you haven't done that reaction yet; you really need to do that one. I could name another 10 or more of their songs that would make great reaction videos. In this reaction, you brought home exactly how I feel when I watch this Auld Lang Syne cover.
Happy New Year. What a set up for a great 2022! Wishing everyone safe and happy and always a better year than last.
12k now ? :-)))))))) No wonder. This was a WONDERFUL reaction! And to a very beautiful arrangement indeed. Home Free is a great group. And I have to thank you for letting me on to them. And PTX. And did I mention NF ? I don't think I did. So thanks a lot, bud. And a very Happy New Year to you and your family ! I Can't really wait to share some more musical experiences with you. We're more or less on the same sheet, I have understood that much. LOL
BTW, I'm already in 2022, and it's been great so far. Come along :-)
Right behind ya, bud! Just a few hours left for me in 2021... BTW, 12k... Can't understand it. Blows my mind. Blessings, brother!
Audible gluttony!!! Haha. That’s a good one. Yes, it’s a beautiful rendition. Those harmonies are just stellar. Happy New Year!!

Hello Charlotte how are you doing?
Home Free did so many quarantine videos! It wish I had known about them then, but now I’m having fun catching up and watching them now! So many beautiful songs and I also love the comedy! I’m an old Disco queen and R&B fan, but I really don’t care for country either, except for this group! I feel every note when they perform! Thanks!! 😊
Happy New Year! You've been a joy and pleasure! We love our Gentlemen and love your enthusiasm for them. Us Home Fries will gladly lead you through all of HF's finest.
Well said April!
Auld Sang Syne by Home Free followed by New Years Day by PTX is the perfect way to ring out the old and ring in the new IMHO.
