Thanks for the love on the video guys! I am aware the volume is too low, and I apologize for it. I had to record something else for an upcoming video I’m going to be in, and forgot to rebalance my recording audio afterwards 😭 this video, as well as the upcoming video on Wednesday, will be at the same quiet volume, but I will make sure everything is re-balanced and good before next Saturday. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you continue to enjoy the content! 💖

Through this song I became aware of Home Free last year. I'm fascinated by the fantastic perfect harmonies of the five guys. The talent of each of them is unique in my eyes. I would never have thought that a single group would captivate me so much :-) Great reaction!

Absolutely. 💯 # HOMEFREE 🎄🎄

The teaser is a follow up to Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget and is called Full of Cheer! I highly recommend it! You'll love it! As well as their newest release called What Christmas To Me! Great reaction as always!

That was their original called "Full Of Cheer" at the end. It's an older one too.

I love how you say something about it not being as complex as you thought, then the song amps up. And you’re always so shocked. 😂😂 I really do enjoy your reactions and the knowledge you’re passing on to us.

I knew you would love the cascading Fall. Austin went off!! My only critique is that the video volume was very low.

Yes, Mortius, it's true about the volume. I had to keep my hands on my headphones ready to pull them away so as not to have you "yelling" in my ears. Well worth it, though - I love your reactions!!!

You have an enthusiasm that is absolutely wonderful to be a spectator to. I wish I had had a teacher with an equally exuberant enthusiasm and ability to teach the mysteries of music. I look forward to seeing your reaction to "Full of cheer".

Their rendition is absolutely amazing!! They can bring you to 😢

This was the first I ever heard of theirs, several years ago. I was Hooked ‼️ WOW…The Best version I’ve Ever heard…..I was an instant Home Fry & their rabbit hole has been so fun ‼️‼️‼️

Glad HF could make you all giddy. I have this on my year-round playlist. Beautiful. I love how they make the background vocals sound like a harp playing.

I love how they do this song. It was my grandma's favorite and I so wish she could have heard this. Love your reaction to this. It's outstanding. The song you're looking for now is called Full Of Cheer. Definitely do yourself a favor and check it out. It's a great song full of hilarity with a few great twists. Awesome review.

I love when they all sing. This is one of my favorite Christmas carols. Thanks for your reaction.

Mortius, Home Free did another version of "Mary Did You Know" which they released just a few weeks ago. It's very different than the older version. Love your reactions!

Always enjoy your reactions. Two years ago I would have told you I wasn’t a country music fan but then I then I came upon Home Free. I now own all of their CD’s.

It's an amazingly great song and yes, it is repetitive; I've heard it so so many times --- And now, there is nothing, absolutely NOTHING repetitive about it!!!! It's the one that got me started with HF --- because of Tim, that voice (toward the end) so clean and clear and high yet a question was added because I could tell he was "low" register. Haven't regretted it one bit and been with 'em ever since!

The blip after the song is a Tim-written original, Full of Cheer. It has a twist and it's awesome. This is my favorite version ever of O Holy Night. It can't be touched . . . unless maybe HF does another take, lol. Thanks..

This is my favorite version of the song!!! Love your reaction. ❤

Full of cheer, cold hard cash for Christmas, what Christmas means to me just dropped (lots of Rob). This group is amazing and I love watching you react to their talents!!

Great reaction, but maybe you could check the audio, it was a bit too low, hard to hear (the video I mean) 😊 But I love your reactions, always❤️

No matter how many times I've listened to a song, you're always able to pick out something extra I'd never noticed before and it's so fun! Definitely check out the teaser at the end of the video, an original called Full of Cheer, as well as their newest, What Christmas Means to Me. Both great songs!

Mortius, THANK YOU for Home Free reactions are always awesome, & I actually learn stuff, so again THANKS !! Definitely check out the teaser, Full of Cheer...that is a fun one & you will have a good laugh at it. The one they dropped yesterday is way too fun as well...What does Christmas mean (to me) ?....justt expect some bad baking, a touch of Gospel Rob, and a whole lotta laughs, and at the very end a message to all of us Home Fries (and yes you are a home fry now). Get Mrs Mortius to join you ....do a double reaction maybe ? Get well son ! And if I don't get to say it before Have a very Merry Christmas !!! You're gonna love these goofballs in those two videos !!

Several years ago, this WAS my first introduction to Home Free. The amazing sound, Austin's cute little nose wrinkle straight at the camera, resulted in one smitten sixty-something woman. I've been a Home Fry ever since.

Great reaction! Thank you for all the info, I learned so much. I love their version of O' Holy Night. The teaser is "Full of Cheer" A must to react to!

This was a great reaction. Tim actually arranged this one. It's my favorite version of this song.

Awesome reaction!! 🤣 I love when they blow your mind! 🤯 Tim arranged this one. The snippet is "full of cheer" & it's fantastic! I'll suggest "Snowglobe" a Tim original. That's another "WHAT THE....?!" song. 🥰

As other mentioned the song is Full of Cheer so enjoy it! Thanks for your reaction to this awesome Christmas song with it's cool HF twist to it. I enjoyed your reaction to the neat build arranged in the song. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎶🎄

I guess you forgot, or decided not to add this to one of your Play Lists, but I think it definitely belongs there. A gorgeous cove of a Christmas classic. Great reaction!

This is the most gorgeous rendition I've heard of a very often heard (beautiful) song, and my go-to-Christmas-song! LOVE your reaction, as always. And please, yes - do Tim's "Full of Cheer", the sequel as it turned out to be (it wasn't planned ahead) to "Champagne Taste". Thank you for your enthusiasm!

Chris Rupp has reaction/review videos of songs and videos that he was part of on his KZread channel and he just released the one about this song. Apparently, Tim arranged this one. They are great videos that offer wonderful insight and background on the making of these videos and songs, I highly recommend them. Merry Christmas!

This is so beautiful. Love it and your reaction. Your breakdown is always interesting. I loved those “bell tones” too…just so interesting and pretty. That song just after is called Full of Cheer and was written by TIm…lots of fun. Another hymn the boys did in the same church is Angels We Have Heard on High…I love their version of that one too.

Love your reaction to this cover as is my favorite version of my favorite Christmas song. You have such genuine joy and energy that's palpable through your reactions and keeps me coming back to your channel. Sidebar, also loving the trinity knot representation in this video.

I love your obvious appreciation and delight in a cappella - the purest music there is. And it doesn't get better than this one.

WONDERFUL REACTION! This is in my top 3 favorites Christmas songs! PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE! It's total PERFECTION to me! Thanks for your reaction! Merry Christmas to you and your family! God Bless y'all! Just an FYI in case you didn't hear. Tim Foust has released his "first solo video and album!" The video is titled "COME GO WITH ME"! It's GREAT! Perhaps you could react to it! KZread has it out now. It isn't Christmas themed though. The song video and the album "PIECE'S OF ME" are Doo Wop! The album is the most Incredible and Entertaining Album that I've ever heard! All Doo-Wop! Yes, that's right! He's a big fan and my Lord does he ever give it justice! He sings every vocal part solo and harmonizes with himself on each individual part! Tim has got to be the most talented man on the planet! I'm not exaggerating! You know when doing bass he can hit an A0 and does it so pleasantly to the ear! Sounds so great when he does and the control to sustain his lowest notes are amazing! We have all heard him do that before but this sir is a complete switch up ok? I can't tell you the notes he sings on this album. I need you to tell me!!! He sings his usual Really low below the basement low notes and EXTREMELY high notes! I believe that he is singing notes as high as Austin's. I'm not trying to disrespect Austin because he is my fellow South Georgian who holds a very very soft spot in my heart! Our hometowns are about an hour apart! So you know I got him! I understand him! I "get" him! I Love Austin and always will! Tim and Austin are different in voice and style so even if they sing the exact same note they are not going to sound the same! However, Tim Foust is doing something extremely different from what we are accustomed to and it is MARVELOUS! It would mean a lot to me if you would check it out in your private time as you can for your own pleasure. It's available now on his channel TIMFOUSTMUSIC. Thank you!

Seven years later, I still stop what I'm doing at the end if this song. Add it to your playlist anyway! It is worth it!

I'm from the deep South & we have a saying... "You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy!!!" Tim, Austin, & Adam Chance prove that saying!!! This is MY opinion after hours upon hours of research on Home Free. They always prided themselves in being a "Country" a Capella group. Then they applied for The SongOff & some suit told them that IF they stuck to their country roots, they would lose. They listened & vanilla'd their sound to a more main stream sound & they lost. Then they tried yet again on another season insisting that they could win IF they were allowed to be themselves with their country hearts intact. Now, the rest is history as they slayed the competition & their country side was embraced by the world!!! Tim is from Texas, Austin from Georgia, & Chance is from Alabama. The others are from up north...hence, NO natural southern twang. In some songs, Tim, Austin, & Chance's southern drawl just doesn't shine through. In others, it stand up front loud & proud. I prefer them when they let the drawl shine where it so chooses!!!

This is my first ever song i heard of from homefree and this is the moment I feel in love with Tim and Austin’s voices. Much love. Hope you and everyone has a good Christmas and happy holidays.

Thank you so much for acknowledging how spectacular--and out of this world!--our HF guys are!! Words just don't do them justice!!

It was great to see you experience this song and its great arpeggio’s, The guys killed it. And love the knot in your tie :-)

Kudos to you for noticing the knot! It's pretty cool. :-)

Your reactions are so fun. I love seeing your excitement. Also, that knot is awesome!

If you still have time, react to Cold Hard Chash. It was written by Austin and it's more of a fun holiday song from Home Free.... of course Full of Cheer is great too, as is the newest What Christmas means to me....

Great reaction Mortius! You are the only reactor that gave that "Divine" chord, which is divine, due attention. Thank you for doing so! Would you do a few videos of how you do those different style tie knots?

I love how Austin scrunches up his nose.

Great reaction! Keep going with Home Free, you can't go wrong with them. React to their version of When a man loves a woman

Aren't they just spectacular? Lord how I love these guys and their beautiful music.

The song is Full of Cheer which is a sequel to Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget both wrote both. You do realize Austin had training to get rid of his country sound. When he was hired by Home Free they wanted him and his country sound. Always enjoy your reactions to these guys.

Your enthusiasm when reacting to this and other Home Free songs is quite infectious (in a non-covid good way LOL). I always look forward to your HF reactions.

This is the song that made me a Home Fry so many years ago!! Love it and your reaction!

My favorite version of my FAVORITE Christmas song. I always cry

Great reaction as usual. The teased tune at the end is “Full of Cheer” -- and it’s well worth the experience.

Teaser: "Full Of Cheer", fun fun fun! Loved your reaction!! Merry Christmas and the best life has to offer for you, your family and friends. Learning a lot from your reactions. Thank you, looking forward to your next video.

This is one of their better 'church' songs, songs that are recorded in this church. It has a full, rich sound as compared to those recorded in a studio. Great reaction! 🎄🎁

Chris Rupp (The one in the cowboy hat, and brother to the beatboxer Adam, who left for a solo career a few years ago) recently did a reaction video to this song, himself, where he talks a bit how it was filmed. Most first time reactions to Home Free I've seen have been to their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow," but I agree, I think this would be a refreshing one for more people's first introduction.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for explaining the concepts of what they were doing. You help me notice things I didn't notice before. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

I love your reactions! They’re so energetic and real! Your excitement on this one for many of the highlights were well appreciated!

The German Green Pickle search was one of my favorite as a child, now I just really enjoy seeing the children scramble for the prize.

Love all your reviews and your enthusiasm. All the best in 2022 Mortius and thx

I love your Home Free reactions so much amd appreciate the breakdowns! Thank you.

One of my favorites ! Thank you for such a fun reaction!

Thank you so much for your reaction. I always look forward to them, and get giddy just finding one from you for Home Free.

Great reaction, as usual. Hope that you and yours have a super happy, safe Holiday.. Thanks for all you do!

The acoustics in this church are amazing and showcase their talent perfectly 😀

Great reaction. I love your unbridled enthusiasm.

Thank you for the great review. Love your reaction! They are angels in disguise.

Yes, I do like your detailed lessons helping me know more of what is being done. And you are a hoot to boot.

Loved your reaction, as always. The expression on your face is always priceless when your hear something that knocks your socks off. And, not having a musical background, I really appreciate your taking the time to explain what is so special and why. Thanks.

Mortius if you ever do check out HOME FREE “When a man loves a woman” You will definitely need CPR , cause you haven’t seen anything yet with Austin & the guys til you see this 🤞🤞 Thank you sir for taking the time for Home Free

Another Great video.. Merry Christmas to you and your family

Love this rendition by Home Free. Never heard it done better. As an aside, I love the knot in your tie. Carry on.😊

Yes I thought this was very country too but Tim's range is awesome & the arrangement and harmonies & bloody Austin is divine. Great reaction. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Awesome Reaction Video Love it just went to 2nd live concert recently. It was AWESOME

Love your reactions and comments

Love your reactions.

Thank you for confirming the change in time signature, from 4/4 to 3/4. I wondered if they did that but couldn't quite hear it on my own. And that last big note at 13:11? Your reaction was the same as my reaction when I first heard this song! Absolutely incredible!

Just beautifully awesome!!

Love this rendition!! Babyfaced Austin kills it!! So does Tim at the beginning.

You are my favorite music reviewer/reactionist.

Beautiful performance

this is the funniest reaction to this cover that I've ever seen!!!

I love your reactions, you are so full of info and you truly appreciate their talent, such a joy to watch you. I think the country-ness of this song was really because they hadn't matured to the point that they were able to suppress their accents yet. The teaser at the end is 'full of Cheer'

Absolutely beautiful. Best version I’ve ever heard. #HOMEFREE.

Your joy is beautiful to see.

Christmas is coming Mortius, while I wait for your new Christmas stuff I will re watch last years..

The song at the end they call "Full of Cheer"... me I call it "Shake the Snow globe"... I crack every time

New subscriber. You are both informative and entertaining. The teaser is the title track from Home Free's Full of Cheer album.

for some reason, your reaction to going back to the transition at 5:43 made me laugh!

You sounded surprised when Tim went high. You should know his super range by now. Of course he did! Also, when Austin does "Fall on your knees...," the background decends. I don't know the terms, but it goes to a lower note. Beautiful. Last, but not (in my mind) least, I love the intricate knot.

MORTIUS! Where the heck have I been? What the heck kind of a knot do you have on that necktie? That's amazing.

In regards to the "time signature change", if you want to call it a different time signature then it's 6/8, not 3/4. But more likely if you'd write it out, you'd just have 8th note triplets and maintain the 4/4 time signature, because you can still hear a clear 4/4 as before as there are straight 8th notes in there- the melody is still in 4/4. And the rest of the song also continues in 4/4 after that little interlude.

This is a lovely song and Home Free does it soon beautifully. Have several favorites Little Drummer Boy Mary Did You Know My Favorite Things

I don't think they switched time signatures around the 7-7:50 mark like you suggested. It's still in 4/4, just a slow swing triplet effect. The whole song is in a 4/4 swing eights pattern. Count it again, staying in 4/4 and you'll see the triplets keep in time with 4/4. Its an awesome effect!
