The Righteous Brothers had a big hit with "Unchained Melody" in 1965. Home Free did such a beautiful rendition of this classic song. The video in prison is very fitting as this song was originally written for the 1955 prison film "Unchained". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or finishing his sentence and returning to his wife & family. The song focuses on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time".

I was a bit surprised, really, that you had not heard of this song, and didn’t know it was a cover! Please search for and listen to the rendition by the Righteous Brothers!

Home Free has done it again. Everything was really great. They have interpreted the story behind the song well. Tim and Austin leads, the backgrounds, the Harmonies, the incredible beatboxing, the video with Adam's shadow, the feeling etc. So beautiful

Home Free hit it out of the park. Love these guys. They just can't do a bad song.♥️. CK out Amazed

@@susanhorn4325 I thought it was Darren but wasn’t sure. I see him in the background of a lot of their studio shots, and not to take away from the groups vocals, but he has an uncanny knack for pulling the most value out of the guys.

This is NAGNIFICIENT!! IT is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!! HOME FREE took their arraignment all of the way back to the original THEME SONG IN THE ORIGINAL MOVIE!!! And, I am so glad they did. In the movie, that takes place in the late 1940's or early 1950's, a man is in prison and seperated from his wife...his love! He is writing her to tell her he may be gone for a very long time or eternally! It is so SAD and he is truelly grieving. The black and white film, the prison scene, the old typewriter, and that glorious sound of TIM FOUST takes us back to that "UNCHAINED" movie. Tim was sheer perfection! He was so wonderful and then Austin picks the song up after Tim has set it up! Austin was phenomenol, as always. These two guys were perfect for this song. It needed Tim to bring that depth of despair that the song calls for! And, man did he takes us there. I feel sad, lonely, and sick, missing my love because Tim did takes my feelings to that level. No other version has ever captured or even understood what the song required. Thank you, Tim and Austin for this beautiful rendition of "UNCHAINED MELODY". This is my favorite version of it now! Also, thank you for covering and reacting to HOME FREE! US, HOME FRIES, REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

the original song was written for a 1955 movie "Unchained" which was about a prisoner debating whether to escape or serve his time and eventually get to go back to his wife and family. The movie didn't do very well in the box office but the song was nominated for an academy award. I read on someone's comment that the arranger was Tim but I'm never sure if comments are correct.

Sometimes simple and basic is the hardest to do well. There is not a bunch of background to cover slips. When you are hanging out in the open and do it this well, it shows virtuosity cleanly. You are right simple does not mean boring! BTW give Ella a scratch or two from me. She seems like such a loving girl, you are blessed to have such a gentle companion for you and your wife to share.

That sound at the beginning was the paper feeding into the typewriter. That's what the old 5ime typewriters sounded like

This came out mid February 2022. Austin's video with Steven Martinez came out mid January 2021. Exacty 13 months apart. Just a little tidbit I find amusing. Both fantastic renditions of a song I've heard pretty much all my life. Even before Ghost.

This is incredible and I agree with you. It’s simplistic but perfect. It was originally written for a movie Unchained in 1955 about prison so the boys went back to the original roots. Loved the black and white film, the typewriter and words, Tim and Austin’s solos and loved those harmonies. Good reaction Mortius and loved your puppy!😀

Hi Mortius. I loved your reaction- they’re always so much fun. Darren Rust did the arrangement, according to Tim Foust himself.

Thank you for your awesome analysis! I really enjoyed Adam Rupp’s acting and beatboxing in this video. Fantastic! Tim’s original Snow Globe is my favorite doo wop song!

Thanks! Austin's part here mimics his solo version of Unchained Melody he did last year that now has nearly 9 million views!! Incredible. Then the guys decided to do it together. Turned out awesome as they all do! Have you heard Austin do Tears in Heaven? Grab the tissues first! Take care.

Hi Mortius, now that I'm over the shock of you not having heard this iconic song before, let me just say that I'm jealous of you for being able to hear it for the very first time! This was our "engagement" song a number of decades ago, and it's just as well that Home Free wasn't singing it, or I might have broken off the engagement in hopes of, well... you know. 😉 Love your reactions, btw.

Arranger is usually Daren Rust the unofficial/official 6th member of HF.

That last sustained note and last chord.... Omg..... Went through my soul,and caused me to cry... SOOO BEAUTIFUL!

The song is absolutely fantastic, a truly brilliant performance! The covers of Tim and Austin are already great individually, but together - WOW - phenomenal! The harmonies are incredible, and the ending is fire, phenomenal. I love these guys! Another great reaction, thanks for that!

Thank You for the great reaction, I knew you would like this one. They are just getting better and better, each video is so creative. I am guessing because of your reaction you have not seen Austin solo work of "Unchained Melody". It is Amazling good and has 8 plus million views. He has his own channel, please react to his "Bring Him Home".

This is an absolutely beautiful version of this song. In case you didn't know Austin did this on his KZread channel. Truly enjoy watching your reaction to this song. Ella is a sweet dog.

I am shocked that you wouldn't know this song, as it's been around so long, & covered by so many artists. 🤔 But, what a great reaction as usual! You're so fun to watch 😆 & I love the breakdowns & detail. 😉🥰🥰

This has also been sung by Tim and by Austin on solo channels. You should react to music on Austin’s channel, though not harmonies, you could analyze the singing techniques and music choices he is making. “Bring Him Home” was great. And sometimes he does sing with others like Austin and Tim on “My Maria”. Thanks for your reaction

I heard that Darren Rust arranged this song, this is why it has the doo-whap chorus in it. There was definitely a Tim Foust influence in there somewhere.

This is spectacular in my opinion. I tear up and get chills every time I watch it. Between the music and the video. Oh, my heart. Home Free hits it out of the ball park again. Thanks for reacting to it.

Home Free did a brilliant job with this video. We are so fortunate to have many top tier a cappella bands making great music now.

Was 5 when the movie came out and the perfect age 10 years later when the Everly Brother's had a hit with it. You should listen to it, off screen.

I love the little details that you find. Tim did arrange it. Really like the handoff between Tim and Austin.

4:20 I might be VERY wrong, but I think that's a syncopated rhythm. The guys sound beautiful on this as always and your reaction is already so fun and I'm not even halfway through yet. You also have a very cute puppy 😍

This came from the Movie Unchained Melody 1955 . The guy was missing his girlfriend and wrote this song while in prison.

Loved Austin’s solo version of this, and didn’t expect them all to cover it. So glad they did!❤️

I love Elvis's passionate version of this song ... but Home Free's rendition has a more modern , melancholy vibe to it ! Guess I've got two favorite versions now !

Oh wow, beautiful! And when Austin hits that note...CHILLS!!!! Love it!!!!!❤❤

I am such a visual person, so I can hear so much more by watching your hand motions.

Another masterpiece arraigned by Tim!!!!

Great reaction. I love your enthusiasm and analysis. You absolutely must react to Austin's solo version of Bring Him Home. It is amazing! On another topic altogether, would you do a how to video to tie that very interesting knot that you sometimes have on your tie, please? I showed it to my husband and he would really like to try it.

Another great one from Home Free

Awesome reaction! I love your enthusiasm for music and the way you break things down. This is an amazing version, please also react (or just listen) to Austin's solo version and the original by the Righteous Brothers, I think each version will blow your socks off, they are all amazing in different ways.

Hi Mortius, I loved your reaction to this song! I really appreciate your explanations about the music and the harmonies, it opens my eyes to totally new aspects! And I wanted to say that normally the producer of Home Free is Darren Rust, but I do not know if he also produced this song!

Great and entertaining reaction, as usual! Love their cover! It’s simple, but elegantly and tastefully done! I do agree with you about the cinematography being up there with “Brothers In Arms”. The black and white is so classic! I always enjoy seeing your sweet pup, Ella! She’s beautiful!

This is my favorite version of this song that I have heard covered so far. (Sorry to the Righteous Brothers and even Voiceplay) I especially love them going back to the original prison setting that the song was written for. I never knew the original context for the song, but once I knew the lyrics made so much more sense. It is a simple arrangement, but it is perfectly done. I also immediately checked the credits immediately on hearing this one, and was disappointed that they didn't credit the arranger. The comments here are saying Tim? If that is true, kudos ×2 for the amazing Bass and arrangement. Also, your editor is hilarious, give them a raise!

Always love your reactions 🥰🥰 Idk if you've reacted to Austin's "Bring him home " but I highly recommend you do ❤ I love your dog 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I know everyone is crazy about Austin's high tenor in this but......for me the OMG moment....was Timothy's starting off in that slow rich bass....this made the song for me. The whole song was arranged just right. The look and feel..perfect.

Ella is so adorable 🥰🥺

Fair enough I suppose, leaving people uncredited is just a pet peeve of mine (If that is an artists choice, that is different) In the case of if being repetitive, I personally think it is worth the space to do anyway, and people like me and Mortius are prime examples why. Not everyone is enough of a Home Fry to know who their regular arranger is. I definitely do appreciate those with the knowledge filling us in though.

You should dip your toes into the metal world. For pure vocal reasons I'd say start with Iron Maiden. Then do the Big 4, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax.

The background drops when the typewriter (noise) stops. Sorrry I got here so late.

Personally I don't see the reason for turning the song into yet another opportunity for Tim to sing doo-wop. The essential character of the song seemed to be in danger of being submerged. I have listened multiple times in the hope of liking it but apart from some pretty bell notes, it feels over-arranged. The video as video is amazing, however. Try listening to Austin's version, dropped on his channel about a year ago. It's just Austin sitting at home with his long time musical partner Steven Martinez on guitar. Simple and stunning.

Believe it or not, as beautiful as this is... Austins solo cover of this is actually better, please check it out.
