Hey we’re Jon and Laurel come on a ride with us as we react to new music and explore the True, weird, wacky and/or the dramatic corners of RU-vid, Reddit, or current events!
They just dropped Hellfire and Geoff the bass dropped non-acapella of Jack's Lament from Nightmare Before Christmas. They also did the Halo theme. There is a new acapella group - The Bass Gang all basses - just did Arabian Nights and Be Prepared.
Mitch is a CONTRATENOR. Not a tenor. This means he has a natural range that can go up to soprano. A "regular" tenor cant hit celine dion notes, which this man can. His nickname is "angel voice".
Home Free is fortunate in having 3 song writers in the band (Tim, Austin & Chance) each with a totally different style. Some of Tim's originals are "Remember This", "Snow Globe" and "Understand". Austin's originals include "California Country", "Love Me Like That" & "The Stargazer Trilogy". Chance's include "A Whistling Lad" (on his channel) and "Skull and Bones".
There is a slight change in the lyrics. Percy Sledge wrote the 1966 original after a bad break-up and sings "I gave you everything I had". Austin's lady Amberly was in the studio and he sings "I'll give you everything I've got". If you haven't seen the trio of songs Austin wrote for her - The Stargazer Trilogy - it's terrific ("Give Me A Sign", "Stargazer Lilies" and "MR").
Avi was still there after they did The Ring Of Fire video😮 Tim Foust wrote this song😮 The harmonies, Adam’s beatboxing and Rob’s whistling were amazing! A lot of people can relate to this song! Great reaction 🎉 I love Home Free😊
If you want and haven't watch them they are two great songs that Kevin play the Cello Say something and Shallow, and more upbeat is Over the River with him playing and Lindsay Sterling playing the violin
Just watched your commentary. These guys improved by leaps and bounds and have toured in the US briefly. They are also popular in the Asian countries and western Europe and Canada. Sadly, they have chosen to split to do other projects. One is a producer and two are very into Broadway, West End shows. The are currently on their final tour that will end by Summer of next year. RU-vid has many of their songs and albums. I am a 66 year old collaborator, but these fine singers span many ages in fans.
In both versions, but especially the PTX version since it the "story" sounds more linear, girl sounds like the bad relationship drover her to murder suicide and she started with her mates brother who was a good substitute in the basement and she's not going to listen to what (s)he says she's going to bite their feelings out. Now the gun's in her mouth and tastes like money as she speaks, not sure but I reckon she's already planted a round in her tormentor as she's rationalizing and thus noting the taste. The bodies on the pavement, are hers and the two others I reckon and the rest of the song is the lament configuration. Either she's got gold caps, or she's got the Golden Eye Gun, not sure, but she sounded almost assassin grade! XD For some true love can be hard to find, and I reckon the idea of plenty of fish didn't cross the mind and she seemed so young too, pity. But I ain't one to gossip... .
Great reaction although I realise I’m arriving quite late at this party! Kevin does a lot of looping on his own KO channel. My favourites are “Down” and “Sign of the times”.
Never heard Adam talk? Then you have to react to their video titled BHH & WWTWWS. Adam introduces the second part of that video, but that's preceded by the boys backing Austin as he sings Bring Him Home from Les Miz. But there's the added bonus of Tim's "son" coming out on stage for a photo opportunity. If you like their funny videos, you'll LOVE this one. Oh, yeah, I should add that there are actually maybe three or four more versions of the Guilty Pleasures routine. It depends on the size and setup of the venue and the crowd's responses. Usually, when you look for their Guilty Pleasures video the first one you see is the "Derailed" one. They were in Tifton, GA, Austin's hometown and things got a bit out of hand. The guys gut a major case of the giggles and went off script. All of them are great, worth looking up.
Kirstie isn't the only one who could do the voice for just about any Disney princess, so could Mitch (as long as they banned Scott and Kirstie from the recording studio to avoid fits of giggles). Love this reaction.
Tim Foust(bass) taught both Avi & Geoff how to hit their low note & hold it. You can do anything Home Free, they don't have a bad song or video. Just pick one.
Welcome to the "rabbit hole" known as Home Free.. Hold on & enjoy!!! Home Free is the best, they are in a league all their own. Welcome to the "Home Fry" family.
i don't know about LARPing (I'm in Canada) but we have ComicCon festivals where loads of people wear costumes and a friend is in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) - they dress up and have jousts, etc.
Home Free has a live performance video of "Honey I'm Good" where Tim Foust's bass literally shakes the camera the audience member is using. There's another one where he blows out the speaker system.
Adam Rupp is such a perfectionist that he learned Gangnam Style in Korean. In the video of How Great Thou Art, he sings a few lines and when he's not beatboxing, sings in the background choruses.
Unfortunately, top 40 radio just doesn't play acapella bands. I really don't understand why not. Chris Rupp (the founder of Home Free along with his brother Adam - the beatboxer) said in an interview that one of the prizes for winning the Sing Off was a contract with Columbia records. He went on to say the Columbia didn't know what to do with them - despite that, their first 3 albums with Columbia debuted on the top 100. They eventually bought out their contract and record and market their material themselves.
