DJ: Here's a Tim Foust moment. My father and I went to a Home Free concert a few years ago in a small venue. We were in the front row, right in front of several speakers. At the beginning of the show, before they started, Tim comes to the front of the stage and points at us. "To those of you in the front row, I'm sorry." He dropped like 2 octaves when he said the last 2 words. Later in the concert, I realized why. As he sang, there were several times where the soundwaves from his low bass notes were literally pounding our chests. BAM! BAM! BAM! It was the craziest moment I've ever experienced with vocal music. And the song is in The Hobbit near the beginning, before they head out from Bag End.

I can vouch for the fact that even if you're about six rows back, and over in the front row of the bleachers, in a combination arena and concert stage, you will feel not only the bleachers shaking beneath you, but the FLOOR rumbling in front of you, when Tim gets down into his REALLY low register. OH...MY...WORD!!! :-D

Major correction before I delete the first message. Not in the front row. I screwed up and had to reorder. Major brain fart on my end the the sales folk were understanding and very helpful. Look for the San Francisco t-shirt a bit back just by the aisle on the left.

I surmise that the statement about all sounds made by the mouth is for the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans that may find this without knowing anything about Peter or Tim. Peter is the master of layering in vocals. This is amazing.

AVI Kaplan's and Peter Hollens "black is the colour of my true love's hair" well worth the listen super underrated

I saw a comment Peter left on a reaction of this song, and he said that this was over 120 layers. 😳

So has avi and I'm sure Geoff has too. It's not actually that hard I've heard. It's like breaking glass as a female, it's a surprisingly low note you just have to hit it for a really long period of time, and most people don't have that kind of breath control.

Love this arrangement. Peter has said that this is over 120 tracks all layered. He is an amazing arranger in that regard. He and Tim work so well together. Look out for more Peter. He’s really good.

Tim's piercing stare just drills right into your soul and when his deep bass voice comes in he just seems to completely shatter you. I'm convinced he is a human dragon. 🐲 If a dragon sings, this is what he sounds like. If you watch the screen on Tim's last note, you will see the screen vibrate with that sound. It's mind blowing.😨🤯😱

Nerd moment: The song was a dirge combined with a plaint, and a promise - the dwarves start singing it at the table after their meal while explaining why they needed a burglar Song is about the death of a king (ancestor far in the past of Thorin [leader of the dwarves]), loss of a mountain kingdom (The Misty Mountain), the lost glory, and the intention to take it back

The song appears in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, where the dwarves sing it at Bilbo's house. This was the first song I heard Tim Foust in and he blew me away. I couldn't believe someone could sing that deep. But thanks to DJ, I was introduced to Home Free and never looked back 😁😁

I think my favorite part of the video is when Tim shakes the camera with his voice. He is notorious for this kind of stuff, and it's always fun to see where he did it. I too am shaking my head that you have never seen The Hobbit though, as it was a good movie. Not as masterful as LOTR, but still well put together, and the singing is always nice!

All of their collabs are great; I'm particularly fond of their rendition of Greensleeves and the video is gorgeous as well.

And this was filmed in 2 different areas. Tim was in the Caribbean filming Friends in Low Places with HF while Peter was in Oregon i believe. That last note if I am correct is a G1. He can go to B0.

Your description of what would happen if Tim gave us all he has was great! He does have a way of making it look like he's just having an easy sing along.

Peter is a Master at Layering……makes for a great song 💥‼️🔥 Tim just sings his #&$$ off & stares into your soul 😳‼️💥💥‼️ Oh, go see “THE HOBBIT”……. But, not after working All day 🙃💥‼️. Thank You for your reaction 👍💥‼️

Tim Foust looks and sounds like some kind of cosmic being living among the people of Earth, hiding. You get the impression his voice could re-arrange the fabric of reality if he wanted to.

Nice reaction. The song is sung by the dwarves fairly early on the in the film; in Bilbo's home.. a lament of losses for their home under the mountain.

Tim and Peter sang their parts in 2 different locations on the same day. I know for sure Tim's location was in Oregon I can not remember Peter's location. I believe this is why they did a split screen.

I can't help but notice the accuracy and precision differences between these two when listening to this.

Listen to the end. Peter says he layered well over a hundred voices to make this. Genius!

Yes, please watch The Hobbit-An Unexpected Journey (first of the three). The song is sung near the beginning of the movie, while they are still in Bilbo's home. They don't sing the whole song though so don't expect them to.

Another great one from this duo is their cover of "Sound of Silence."

What's interesting, Peter is actually an extended range baritenor. A lot of those baritone layers of the chords you hear is actually Peter.

There are 3 Hobbit movies to be exact. This song happens in the first movie. The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey. Such a beautiful song

Tim Foust has blown out many speakers at their shows giving everyone this deepest bass note! The crowd always goes wild when the speakers break and the static starts and the speaker goes wonky. We all just love Tim….and the rest of HOME FREE!

This song appears in the first film of The Hobbit trilogy series. It comes on fairly early in the film and sounds very cool.

Tim Foust going subwoofer 22 times!

Geoff Castallucci, the bass singer from VoicePlay also has a video out for this same song, under the title Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold. That one is just as stunning. Both Tim's and Geoff's final note just take my breath away. Peter Hollens has two other songs from the Hobbit movies that I really like. The Hobbit Drinking Medley feat. Hank Green is a lot of fun. I See Fire is amazing to hear and a joy to watch. His layers of beatboxing, clapping, finger snapping, etc is really wild. I keep meaning to sit down and binge watch the Hobbit movies just to get a background on the music I love so much. Maybe this week. No, really! I really mean it this time.

DJ, please watch The Hobbit. And this video/Post, AWESOME. And, the Camera didn't "explode", but it shook in the end. LMAO!!! You're right. I think he is holding back about 800% most of the time too.

This was one of his first videos so not really well known yet

Peter also has a gorgeous collaboration with Avi Kaplan of the old folk song "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" you must hear and see because it makes quite clear who is singing what in all parts. The disclaimer about the beginning is standard for acappella music. You can also find it for example at the beginning of the cover of "Starships" as done by Pentatonix. Avi used Misty Mountains for years as a filler in Pentatonix live shows for years (besides he looks the part without costuming 🙂). kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKGjzMOBeKzUYdY.html Geoff Castelluci has done a cover of this too very recently. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6af2JNmj9u4Z7g.html

Not always obvious that they don't use instruments.

Peter was in Colorado while Tim was in the Caribbean.....Also, Peter said he mixed 150 tracks in this recording. Tim has a five and half octave range.

Not necessarily obvious for those who don't know them. 😉 That last note we Home Fries refer to a dragon's breath note. 😊 If I am not mistaken, Peter is a former operatic singer. To me, Peter sounds almost ethereal when juxtaposed against Tim's rattle your soul bass. The only other singer that I know of (off the top of my head) that can go lower is Tim Snow (gospel singer). Snow has the lowest recorded note sang I believe. If I am not mistaken, he actually hits & sustains the last note on a piano keyboard. He's mind blowing too. It was filmed in 2 places. Peter was in Washington or Oregon (I think) & Tim was in the Carribbean on another vid shoot. You should check out Peter Barber & Bobby "Bass" Waters doing their cover of Avi Kaplan's The Summit if you haven't already. Bobby doesn't hardly sound human when he hits the low notes. As far as kicking ass & taking names...not even bothering with the names...but a Rockette I will never be. Can't kick that high. 😁

This song is actually in the book, though it's arranged a bit differently having no actual notes but words only. It's about late middle of the first chapter, just after dinner. That should help you place it in the movie. The thirteen dwarves are singing it. I'm fairly certain that Tim is playing Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain.

DJ: As usual, great breakdown. Judah's right - Dude, drink a couple of expressos or Red Bulls, whatever ya have to do, but watch the danged movie. Ya also need to check out Peter's collab with Home Free doing U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for." It's an amazing cover, not just for the singing, but from a sound engineering standpoint.

Another tidbit. Peter and Tim were in two different places when they did this. Tim was in the Cayman Islands and Peter was in the Pacific northwest, Washington, but not not exactly sure which state.

I love how Tim makes that last growl note seem so easy. Also did you notice the camera shaking at the end?

This is more amazing. I saw an interview with Peter and he said that filming this was complicated because both were filmed on the same day on 2 different continents at the same time. Peter was in the USA. I don’t recall what country Tim was in. I do recall that Peter said that Tim indicated he found the only place that looked Hobbit-like. I think the locations they chose were perfect.

This song occurs at Bilboa Baggins' house. The dwarves have come to Bilboa's house to plan how to retake their mountain home from Smaug the dragon. It occurs fairly early in the movie.

Great reaction! Thank you! Another song you might enjoy: "Blackbird" by Geoff Castelucci... Amazing!

Did you notice how much the camera was shaking during that last low note Tim sustained? If not, go back and check it out. You can see the image vibrating.

Tim was in Grand Cayman called Hell Canyon (no kidding) and Peter was in Oregon when they shot this. Peter is a master of layering. I think there are 120 tracks in this. Only their two voices…which is amazing to me. They have collaborated on many songs..Sound of Silence, Bridge over Troubled Water, Greensleeves, Fire and Rain. They’re so good. If you stare at Tim at the end…the camera shakes. Yeah Tim can blow speakers for sure. He looks like he’s staring through your soul. So good. This is in the first Hobbit movie I think. You should watch the Hobbit movies and Lord of the Rings movies too. They’re epic.

Turns out the lyrics of this song were actually written by Professor Tolkien back in the day. His work actually involved a great deal of poems, songs, and phrases

Tou mentioned that you sensed that Tim was holding back. If you want to hear him totally kill it, not to mention hear his incredible range flexibility, he and Peter Hollens did a rendition of "Greensleeves" that is freaking AMAZING! I'm not exactly sure why but It actually brought me to tears.The location is phenomenal and believe it or not, it was done in one take because they wanted to capture the beauty of the scenery at that moment. There havent been alot of reactions to it so PLEASE PLEASE check it out.( They also did "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" which is beautiful also. There was just something about "Greensleeves" that really touched me.) Loved your reaction and commentary on this one. Looking forward to the next one!❤

Just when you think Tim Faust is the coolest bass there is, he puts out his album, "Pieces of Me" and showcases his five octave range! You have to react to "Will You Still Love Me/Stay" mashup!! They were not at the same place when they were filmed!

If you want to hear this song without Tim as a reference, Peter recorded a version by himself before they collabed in this one.

please do more peter hollens. His epic nick and epic villains medley were great, as is his collab with tim for Sound of Silence!

One of the judges on SING OFF said Tim's bass make a rumble in his butt. And he has been know to blow out sound systems. Probably not, nowadays, since they have better equipment.

They are both great at what they do, but oh my goodness that Tim Foust I just love this guy I love his voice I love his character I love all the songs he sings wetherby high notes low notes mid-range notes he is absolutely fabulous❤😊

Your comment about Tim Faust was interesting given the fact that during one performance he is reported to have blown the speakers - check it out.

Your intro absolutely cracked me up. I haven't seen the movie either, Judah, and have no intention of seeing it. Don't need to on order to live the song, though. 😂🥰

Tim did that last phrase all in one breath

When this was done Tim was in the Cayman Islands and Peter was in the Pacific Northwest. Mad engineering skills involved here in addition to the musicianship. Read the Hobbit, then watch the movie (or we will hunt you down)!

I get it that I'm pestering you, but you ROCK! Love your Home Free reactions!

Did you notice the camera shaking when Tim hit that end note?

This song is actually SUPER early on, before they actually even set off from the Shire on the original adventure.

TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT HIGHS & LOWS, MAKES TOTAL SENSE TO ME

I’m pretty sure not all of those lows you were hearing were Tim. There are over 120 layers here, and I seem to recall Peter saying in a comment thread somewhere that Tim only recorded one of them. Peter also recorded a solo cover of this song before this one with Tim, and he can get fairly low himself.

Yes, this is a masterpiece! I love watching all of you reactors watch this one!

Tim has a 5 octave range, so he can sing pretty much anything.

No recent comments gave you the place in the Hobbit movie where the dwarves sang this song. It's at the point where they are all at Bilbo's house having dinner before they start the quest. The dwarves are sitting around the fire musing about the upcoming quest and going back to Erebor and Thorin starts singing this song which is positioned as a dwarven classic. I thought the movie version was good, but this version 'dwarfs it' :-).

If you look really close on Tim's last note, the camera was actually shaking a little.

DJ please watch the Hobbit! They're not as good as the original LotR trilogy, but still good fun! Also, Misty Mountains is just the Dwarven version of Country Roads and you can't change my mind.
