The unsung hero of this video, along with all the other great quarantine videos, is Jimmy Bates. He led the guys through the whole filming process virtually and then puzzled it together to make this masterpiece. The guys said in several interviews that they won‘t miss recording videos on their own because it‘s just so much work. So, kudos to all involves to keep it interesting with very limited resources.
Hands down, Home Free was the most innovative group during quarantine. Jimmy Bates did such a good job with many of these videos and you have to give credit to the wives and girlfriends behind the camera too
This video is mesmerizing. I’ve watched it many times and still can’t take my eyes off of it. It comes to you from the creative genius of their video editor Jimmy Bates. He worked with each of the guys to get the exact video footage he needed and yes, it was a lot of work. I saw a video where Chance said something like…It was a great idea Jimmy. Don’t ever do it again.
One word JIMMY!!! This was Jimmy's baby and he did an amazing job on it. If you ever get access (HF Patreon only video at the moment) the behind the scenes for this is a must watch. It shows how hard this was to make and how hard they all worked to get the amazing final product. I knew you would love it and that was why it was my request. More often than not when I hear the song come up on my playlist, I feel the need to drop everything and go and re-watch the video.
Check out "Counting Flowers on the Wall." It's another quarantined edition and it's equally as fun. OMG I forgot about the collaboration with The Air Force Singing Sargeants and Lee Greenwood "God Bless the USA."
Any of the video's with Austin's arm in a case were from right after he got his one wheel and fell off and broke his arm. Jimmy did a fantastic job of editing and all the guys did wonderful on all the quarantine videos.
Loved this! Home Free's music was a gift during the quarantine days. I think they kept a lot of folks going with their creativity and wondering what they'd do next, and they got so inventive with it. So cool.
Nicholas :) One of my favorites of the quarantine videos, it's just so cool with all those transitions. This was an early quarantine one that is why it looked middle transform !!!
An awesome video, beautifully sung, amazing harmonies, great bass and the incredible beatboxing/vocal sounds. And all this in quarantine time. What else do you want??? Only more Home Free!
This is one of my favorite quarantine videos. Home Free's music really helped during this time as I suffer with anxiety. Such a happy feel good song. The guys were really creative & the editing was great.
It was so clever. Home Free brought a lot of content to us during the pandemic. It was wonderful. This is so interesting how they did it. All with phones but so well done. Good reaction Saucey!🥰😍
I'm still missing some of my favorite songs: In the blood, Sold, One Voice (ft. Billy Gilman), Moonshine and Catch me if you can. It would be great if you listen to them too. Thanks in advance!
I agree completely. My dad passed away in March 2020 from pneumonia. Thank goodness we were able to be with him at hospital. Seeing all the ICU rooms filled is super depressing. Lost about 10 family members (none from Covid-19) and couldn't attend funerals. 2020 was a complete s--tshow emotionally. Better late than never finding the 3 acapella groups. Hopefully VoicePlay will decide on a 5th member (Omar please)so they can do shows. I am so there!
I think this was my introduction to HF. I love the transitions, and absolutely love the song. I have never been and will not be on TikTok. Personally, I don't want China to know any more about me than they already do. I think this was there first video in quarantine - and it was done on phones, before they got their new equipment. Great stuff, man! Thanks for this, Saucey.
Yes the boys did look a little scruffy in this video but hey we all did just because we could. I was most surprised by Tim's grey streak in his hair because I didn't know he had been dying it. But I love it cause it gives him a distinguished look. But do miss his long hair. Loved HomeFrees cover of this song. I heard later that Austin actually hurt his wrist riding that "whatever" it's called. ✌❤
Yeah, Tim's grey streaks are looking good. I just miss the longer hair. Speaking of longer hair, I wish Austin would take the tie-back out sometimes. I like him so much better with his beautiful long hair hanging loose around his shoulders. I was them in Victoria and he had it tied back the whole show. Which made me pout a bit, while enjoying the hell out of every song.
@@nightthornkvala94132 I know what you mean about Austin. I'm going to my first concert in July and I told my sister I sure hope his hair is down but, as hot as it will be by then I'm sure he'll have it tied up. Oh well at least I get to see them. Never thought it would happen. 🥰
Austin's one-wheel is really cool - he uses it to take his dustbins up to the road on bin day, pulling them along behind... He also takes it on tour, and has been seen riding around venues on it. Yes, he did fall off it in the early days, and had to have his wrist in plaster for a few weeks - just in time to get signatures from a lot of other country singers at that year's CMA awards. But he seems pretty confident with it now.
Glad you reacted to this one.. I have been waiting for you to see the incredible video editing in this one.. If you go back to see it.. check out the Jeffrey East t-shirt that Austin is sporting... and the fact that yeah.. it most likely was a hose.. but that was Kenny Rogers picture on the window silll behind Austin during the rain and shine part... Some where in Austin's house is the White t shirt that was signed on him by the Oak Ridge Boys and framed .. much like your awesome new Avi T.. Love that and am so glad that you showed the pic of the bass guys up close.. I couldnt see it very well until then.. now I want one, too...Loved your reaction.. oh..btw.. Austin Brown broke his arm while learning to riide that board... there are pix of him in a suit and cast lol.. Stay safe.. and i LOVE the glasses on you.. Thanks for all you do.. and enjoy that Avi concert in Cambridge if you go... I lived in Cambridge when I was a little one.. what venue is he playing at?
This is my fav video by quality. Jimmy Bates did an amazing job to tell them what to do and when to do it. Then he edited everything from everyone's video shots.
Austin actually broke I believe his wrist while riding it. Rob didn't do much with his beard. They gave us 2 music videos and a From the Vault the first Monday of the month.
Hey SaucyDad! Did you know that Home Free is going to be in MA in August? They're playing the Cape Cod Melody Tent. I know it's a bit of a haul from Maine, but it would be cool for you to see them live. Also hope you got tickets to Avi in Cambridge! I'm over the moon knowing I get to see both artists this year. Hope to see you there.
"Hose on the window" - I just returned to NH from North Carolina, where I witnessed the Niagara Falls of rainstorms/thunderstorms... Austin lives in Nashville, where I'm guessing their weather is very similar to the Raleigh, NC area in the deluge type of storms. It very likely *was* one of those downpours, tbh. Couldn't even see the next door neighbor's house (which is pretty close) at one point, the rain was coming down so hard. Great reaction, SauceyDad! This is one of my favorite Quarantine videos by the guys. So creative and so well done by Jimmy!
I've gotta give credit where it's due - to the video editor Jimmy Bates. The editing on this is just genius. The song is wonderful and so is the message in it.
SYLVIA. I need one of those pictures in my life! It is the most awesome thing ever. Please tell me you do those on commission or where you got it from!
SauceyDad your a joy to watch. 🤗 I hope you check out HOME FREE, live performance, ‘COLDER MEMORY LAPSE” (since you will be seeing them soon) What dates?? For the backyard bash & concert? If you don’t mind me asking Thanks for always taking the time for Home Free #AustinFryAlways
May is mental health awareness month and we're getting toward the end of it. Could you please react to One Voice ft Billy Gilman? I didn't see it in your playlist. Home Free released it last year specifically for mental health awareness. I'm not sure where the video is, but Home Free actually has a video of themselves talking about how they all see therapists/ counselors. It's really awesome how they take another sensitive social issue and lay it out in the open! Just one more thing that makes me love them! ❤
I left a comment earlier but it's gone now.. Maybe it's because I mentioned the site I got the artboard from? I'm gonna try again.. It's from red bubble. I did not get the T-shirt. Whoever did kudos to you. I really like it.
I love your Home Free and Avi Kaplan reactions. Although I don't think Avi would appreciate the dodgy fake t-shirt hanging up. It's not his official merchandise. It looks like he's snorting the fake signature.
