They are impressively 'tight' on "Helplessly Hoping" Everything starts and ends together and the unison in the beginning makes you listen to hear two distinct voices.

Yes! Speaking of fun, it will be when Sir reacts to some of Tim's doo-wop album. I really like the "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" one as well :~)

This is why people told you not to watch Mayday until you sort of understood their vocals! Now you need to watch "Mayday Live", "9-5 beatboxing breakdown" and "Joy to the World Hosannah" for more surprises. One of the things I love about Home Free is that you're never sure what they'll do next. Love your channel & analyses!

PS - For originals, see "If I Met You Now", "Off the Grid", Everlasting Ground" & "I'll go First" on Austin's channel; "Remember This", "Champagne Taste" on HFs (among lots of others).

I agree “helplessly hoping” harmonies are excellent! You cannot go wrong with any “Home Free” song whether it be cover or original! I can’t wait for you to listen to them all! Also Tim, Austin and Chance all have solo careers outside of Home Free. And Tim and Austin also have another group they are in together called “sweet and low” along with a few others. Tim has released an album called “Pieces of Me” where he harmonizes with himself as he does all the parts to the songs on the album which are all songs from 50-60’s doo whoop songs. Austin has several new song releases just in the past few months. And Chance sings with the “hound and the fox” and a member of the “street Corner Syphony”

Tim has a 5 octave range. It's so nice to hear Chance do his bass range. This is a song that is best to hear after you know Home Free. I enjoyed watching your reaction and analysis of this song.

Chance is no surprise at BASSIST competence - He was the Bass singer in "Street Corner Symphony " group

A song with surprises. Tim who goes tenor, Austin and Rob who also hit different notes than usual, the inhuman vocal percussion from Adam and as a great end to the surprises the incredible bass of Chance. Simply fabulous

You're one of the few reactors who pick up on the fact that HF do the song in the same key as the original - done by a female. 👍 Well done. I recommend anyone who reacts to HF that they listen to the original songs before listening to HF's cover.

Tim mentioned that his voice "dropped" rather late and he actually trained long as a tenor and he kept his upper range resulting in a stunning 5 octave range. Chance was actually singing bass with his previous band, now he takes it over whenever Tim takes lead.

They all have such range and beautiful voices! Those A Cappella groups don’t make me miss musical instruments at all, and I’m a pianist... Thanks one more time. You are so on point. 🤗

Always enjoy your reviews. If you want to review one of their originals, they put one out last year, written by Austin (their high tenor) called "Playing with Fire," that is paired with some stunning videography. Also think you would deeply enjoy the harmonic talents in "Helplessly Hoping" (a Crosby Stills & Nash cover) and just revel in the wonderful harmonies and bass of "Brothers In Arms" (a Dire Straits cover). Also, as a classical musician, you might enjoy Rob and Austin teaming up to sing "Nessun Dorma" (I think that one is titled "Two Country Singers Try Opera").

This song is one of my favorites. So glad you waited to react to it. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original.

Bit of a shocker, eh? Chance has an amazing voice. This is my second favorite song from HF. PLEASE react to my top fave "Helplessly Hoping". The visual is as stunning as the music. As always, thanks for all you do for us! You're the bomb!

At the 2016 CMA (County Music Awards), Cam interviewed HF and they teased the release of this song. They didn’t sing any of it, but they told her to be watching out for one of her songs. 😊

I used to not like country music but over the years it has changed quite a bit. It has changed to more pop country, not so much that twangy sound I dislike so much. Home Free is a great example of that change . I like many more contemporary country songs. Keith Urban not only can sing but is an amazing guitarist. Once more your analysis was awesome. I can’t believe you can sing that low and I know you can sing high when you demonstrate notes in your analysis. Well done as usual 👏

So glad you heard the original so you can see what they are doing here. It baffles many people because they have no clue that it was sung in Cam's original Key.

If you like Chance's voice, a song I absolutely love, that he sings the lead in (and that has a fantastic video) is "I Can't Outrun You" by Trace Adkins.

You will find the Bass changed on this one. I would love you to react to Voctave. They are incredible. There are 11 members and there Soprano 1 and tenors will blow your mind. I really enjoy your reactions as I always learn something new

Before joining Home Free Adam Chance was the bass singer in the a cappella group Street Corner Symphony. Then he joined a group that already had a bass singer, so he was officially the baritone/bass, and already had a singer named Adam, so he goes by Chance when singing with Home Free. He still goes by Adam Chance when singing solo or with The Hound + The Fox and he still blesses us with that wonder bass voice.

Adam is making the clap with voice. He's amazing and if you get a chance to see them live, you'll be blown away.

Nice LOW notes Sir! LOL. This song is a real bop for me. This is not the acapella we grew up with, it's so fresh and new! Pentatonix, Home Free and VoicePlay are giants in the acapella world! I love your reaction to Tim's very high range and then your physical gut reaction to Chance's low low. Sweet! I also love how you described music as not always having to be seen as black and white dots but colorful and fluid. It's an excellent analogy. Music is infinitely more than black and white. There are innumerable twists and turns it can take, and you point out every one on every song you react to. Thank you for your playfulness and immense knowledge.

I really like Homefree, but PTX is my fave a capella. However, I love love LOVE Tim Foust!!! I didn't know he had that range either. Amazing. Matt Sallee also has a higher range as well, and I first heard it in PTX Hallelujah live. I'm an Avi Kaplan fan, but as far as a bass singer Tim is my favorite. Another bass singer that can sing incredibly low is Geoff Castelucci, VoicePlay. I dont think youve reacted to that a capella group yet. They fall in 3rd place, for me, my taste, however they have a huge fan base. First time I've heard this song. Loved it, and your insight, as usual.

#HOMEFREE......wow!

😊 - a few recommendations- One of Tim's originals Snow Globe is gorgeous, Austin's Stargazer Lilies tribology particularly MR. Brothets in Arms, Helplessly Hoping, Sam Shanties medley for Covid, End of the Road. Tim &Austin's My Maria, Tim''s Will you still Love Me Tomorrow/ Stay. Austin's Bring him Home.

My second favorite Tim Up High song after Mayday is My Maria in Austin's backyard.

Ohhhhh, for an Awesome Home Free original song….”PLAYING WITH FIRE”…..Austin wrote it….the fire dancers are Great 🔥🔥🔥🔥💗💗🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️ Tim’s 5+ Octave Range…Is pretty Amazing 🙃💗‼️ Oh, for another fun Tim tenor…..go to Austin Brown’s solo channel…they do Brookes & Dunn….”MY MARIA”….Tim takes the tenor lead …along with Austin, …friend of many years…Chris Chatham &, Tim’s brother in law in …bass guitar), &, Austin’s piano player friend …. 💗💗‼️…you’ll Like it ‼️

I love that you can legitimately explain. You remind me of my 7th grade music teacher. He made us listen to classical music with our eyes clossed. I still listen to music with my eyes closed.

First reactor to compare and notice that they sang it in the same key as Kam.

This song comes under the heading of expect the unexpected. Great analysis.

What a great song to illustrate HF's ability to have any singer do whatever's needed ( needs must ), and they can tailor the music itself as desired. Thanks for letting us in as to what you feel as well as think about the music.

You might dig The Bass Gang if you want to fall in love with even more versatile and talented bass vocalists. Hoist the Colours is wild, and then Arabian Nights for a very different sound. Tim has collaborated with members of this gang of basses. Love the channel and all the PTX & Home Free stuff!!!

This is one of my favorites, and not just because of the switch ups. The vocals are so lovely that you forget it's a sad song. I personally like it better than Cam's version, although her video was very cool. Thanks for doing a reaction/ analysis -- the pleasure on your face said it all. And kudos for immediately realizing it was in the same key as Cam's. Eagerly waiting for your next HF reaction/ analysis.

Tim sings in the same key as CAM - the Original artist they are covering - she is BEAUTIFUL ... sings like a bird .... and SO DOES the Bassist in Home Free = Tim Foust !!! The man is a maverick to be sure. All in this band are EXCEPTIONAL .... in fact it is the standard for the Band .... when any can LEAD the the song and also sing harmony like it was a tone generator - it blows thy mind ! Love this vocal group. Home Fry for a few years now. Your channel is very good as well, Sir Hairless, GB jj

I think that was great, to include a brief clip of the original. I already knew Home Free had amazingly performed their version in the same key as that of a female singer. But hearing the quick sample made that part of it fully clear. And don’t worry, basically everyone is caught flat-footed when Tim comes in, singing in tenor. I think it was after this rendition was released that word got out about how broad his range is. The cat was out of the bag. And for me, I especially like Rob’s counter-melody lines that kind of create the outro.

Great reaction, which, as usual, left me surprised and much better informed. I look forward to you covering "Colder Weather"(my favourite harmony-wise), and "Helplessly Hoping", one of their most pared-back and yet haunting performances. "In The Blood" also makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Thanks.

I’m so glad you knew Tim’s range before listening to this song. Many reactors listen to this song too early and say ok, Tim’s the tenor…and we have to say no, Tim’s the bass! It’s the old switcheroo! We don’t usually see Chance doing a bass solo. We know he can sing bass but this was a fun switch. A lot of fun to hear/see the stomping too. Home Free is so creative and those harmonies are exquisite. Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, What We Ain’t Got, I Can’t Outrun You (lots of bass - Chance lead), Yours, Winter Song. Originals would be Give Me a Sign, Snow Globe, Playing with Fire. So many good songs. Good reaction SH!

So now you should check out some of the videos they put out during quarantine. They were all locked down in their own homes, hundreds of miles apart. From Texas, to Tennessee, to Minnesota. They each recorded their own parts and then it was edited together. Some pretty amazing stuff. Their song title "Quarantine" was particularly amusing.

I was surprised after scrolling through your videos, that you have not yet reacted to the Nightwish performance of Ghost Love Score, at Wacken 2013. I think you will fall in love with the voice of Floor Jansen. Nightwish is a deep and wonderful rabbit hole to go into.
