    I have been waiting for you to get to this one! I love CSN and their music, but I absolutely adore Home Free’s rendition! Chance and Rob singing in perfect unison before adding the gorgeous harmonies gives me chills every time. A master class in five part harmony, and in my opinion one of Home Free’s best.

    A master class in acapella! Chance directed this video. Needless to say (but I'm going to anyway) the singing and harmonies are fantastic. If you were fond of 'country' music, I'd recommend "Remember My Name"; however, I think "Playing With Fire" would be more to your taste. Thanks for playing this one and your comments.

    @ElizabethRoss-uj8rl Год назад +11

    Home Free has long been my favorite of the amazing a cappella groups so popular over the last decade. And this performance is my favorite of Home Free's master works. It, more than any other, proves the virtuosity of each singer as well as the perfection of blending, of synchronicity, of arranging, and of visual artistry. Other offerings from this group offer amazing complex harmonies, but your comment that "less is more" puts this one in a class by itself. I enjoyed your reaction very much!

  • @beverlypearson5332
    @beverlypearson5332 Год назад +8

    Hey, Chris! I usually listen to your reaction videos with one Ear Bud in my right ear. But when you mentioned the improved sound with your headphones, I decided to put the other one in. Oh my goodness! What a difference! I don’t know if it’s more pronounced with this song, or with Home Free, but I’ll be trying it now with all your videos. That song was - as you said - perfect.

    • @larryshair
      @larryshair  Год назад +1

      Yes, it's hard to come along a song that is this tight and seemingly perfect. I can't imagine one thing I'd add to it or take away.

    One of their best. As much as I love Adam Rupp's percussion, I find their full 5-part harmony simply amazing. Another one with full 5-part harmony that actually brought me to tears the first time I heard it is their version of How Great Thou Art. Fabulous. If you're soliciting recommendations for Voiceplay (my second favorite a cappella group), I recommend one of their stompin' ones - My Mother Told Me, Seven Nation Army or Dream On. I much prefer them to their Disney or ballady ones.

    This really shows their harmonies. They are really a great acapella group, they must have clear top notch vocals to do that well because there are no instruments to hide behind like many singers/groups out there have. I enjoy it all, instruments or no instruments but there's something great about just hearing all pure vocals.

  • @randybenjamin5685
    @randybenjamin5685 Год назад +2

    ' Drone' was the word you were looking for. Tim added his bass Drone as a foundation on which the other four stood.
    Adam did NOT beat-box; he added his voice ; which is rare.
    The black and white video emphasizises the simplicity of the vocal arrangement.
    This brings me to tears every time.

    I grew up listening to Crosby, Stills & Nash & had their album with this song Helplessly Hoping. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. This song is full of alliterations. Home Free more than does justice to all the songs they cover. And this song is perfection to me with the 5 part harmonies. A true masterpiece! I can't say enough about how great these guys are & humble while still staying respectful to the original song.

    So Larry, this was HF's gold standard masterpiece for 5 part harmony A cappella for quite a while, but then they did a cover of Dire Strait's Brothers in Arms, and many feel they raised the bar to a platinum level masterpiece on that one, which is truly a vocal work of art. Check it out.
