BEST VERSION!| FIRST TIME HEARING Home Free - Do you Hear what i Hear REACTION

[@ChrisHaar]

Guys! Trust me on this one. Check out their cover of "Mary did you know?". It's one of their best and it's perfect for the holidays

[@beachluc]

Thats Pentatonix

[@oneplay]

No silly they mean Home Free’s cover of “Mary did you know?”. I echo the suggestion as it’s an amazing rendition.

[@PatrickExcelsior]

Yes, one of their best.

[@dananddiana2]

@@beachluc Home free does that song too!

[@bella-xp7qd]

Absolutely . It is amazing. They both covered it.

[@cavamom]

This is my favorite version of this son. Their version of Mary Did You Know is also wicked good. They gave it a bit of an R&B spin and wow! Keep the Home Free reactions coming.

[@GaiaOne]

The best arrangement of any Christmas song anywhere. Home Free knocks it out of the park again. This is an instant classic. There is just nothing like it anywhere.

[@WearingTheArmor]

Home Free are masters at drawing you to the lyrics, clearest voices ever. Everything they do is an UPGRADE. Check out some of their new ORIGINALS.

[@joannefairhead2403]

These guys are so gifted and work so well eith each other thank you for sharing this.

[@marshac7738]

Such an exceptional arrangement by Home Free's own wizard and incomparable vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp ⛄🪄🎄

[@alfredsmith6381]

I thought Pentatonix had this stuff sewn up. I was wrong... Amazing.

[@flutesong5527]

Kenny Rogers with Home Free "Children Go Where I Send Thee" is a must!!!!

[@gkiferonhs]

Your channel has not only helped you open your eyes, but I, too, have discovered new lyrics and meaning in songs I had listened to for decades. As a former teacher I also have to add, the change in perspective is essential to helping kids discover how they learn. Ask them what do they want to know how to do and then figure how what are the skills they should master to do that. It keeps you from hearing "why do I need to know this". If stumped, change directions and fill in the blank: If I knew ______ I could answer the question. I've found the change in perspective helps kids figure out how to do problems that were not immediately familiar. Sorry so long winded, you know how we teachers are.

[@sheilameyers152]

Being a former teacher myself I know what you mean! I even tried analyzing the Star Spangled Banner in which the student didnt know what it meant! Once we got into it they understood it!

[@kmwwrench]

Best arrangement of any Christmas song, ever. Makes me smile every time I hear it - which is almost every day no matter the time of hear.

[@allisondownes7481]

The human voice is the absolute best musical instrument! Great reaction!

[@ericpotter4657]

Glad you came back Home Free. This song was arranged by the beatboxer Adam Rupp who is a world class beatboxer. The ice cave was located in Minnesota. This and Mary Did You Know imho are their best traditional Christmas songs along with the one you listened last year. If you want their humorous Christmas songs check out Full of Cheer a Home Free original and Grandma Got Runover By A Reindeer. Thank you for your great reaction. You and your family have a blessed day and aMerry Christmas. GO BENGALS.

[@glaw556]

I think you meant to say Go Cowboys! 😎

[@ericpotter4657]

@@glaw556 No I said what I ment. Maybe see you in the Super Bowl LOL

[@nanadeborah8717]

It's actually an ice castle that melted a lot. It was a warm winter. They cut the ice blocks from the lakes,then build a Disney castle with them. We have a whole festival celebrating winter.

[@Spazzmatazzz]

Check out their version of How Great Thou Art. So beautiful it will give you chills. And being filmed in the Austrian Alps really adds to the impact of the song.

[@BWThompsonAZ]

Another good one for the holidays is "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem," which they covered with the Oak Ridge Boys. Mind-blowing!

[@Rosedach]

I always listen to Celtic Woman for Christmas music.

[@lindanearing4710]

Adam's arrangement of this song is unique, elegant and complex. This was never a favorite of mine until this gorgeous version. Missed you guys reacting to Home Free. "Mary, Did You Know" by Home Free is also spectacular. Have a great Christmas. Great reaction.

[@JargonThD]

Through the years we discover many covers which, to us, become THE preferred versions of the songs we know. Sometimes we discover that we love a song we never previously cared for or about when a cover reveals it to us. Home Free covers are eye-opening and they may hold the record for the most covers that become the gold standard of a song. Thanks for reacting to this one. It's in their Top Twenty, in my book. Cheers.

[@dorinnepolonye9544]

You need to hear Home Free & Kenny Rogers singing Children go wear where the send thee it is the BEST

[@32ndspecialist]

So psyched to see Home free in concert in February!From the moment I heard them I became an instant fan, especially since I used to sing in a acapella group in high school.

[@rodneytyus]

After Christmas you have to check out their version of Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it On. Absolutely awesome.

[@buddystewart2020]

That's one of my favorites songs they do in their entire catalog.

[@Sandra-kg9tm]

One of my favorites of Home Free (and an original) is Snow Globe FYI they will be in Tulsa, OK on February 23, 2023.

[@mbenoit77]

The lyrics grow in importance and intensity. The night wind: do you see what I see? > little lamb: do you hear what I hear? > shepherd boy: do you know what I know? Moving from senses to knowledge. > mighty king: listen to what I say - no longer a question, but a statement of faith and certainty, together with a call to prayer for peace

[@terryceaser7747]

In case you didn't know this was shot at the Ice Castle in Minnesota, which moves around the Twin Cities every year. Absolutely beautiful!

[@allendixon7700]

I'm thinking you know Christmas is bread free it is for Christmas but rent could sure sing a good song red sovan So Vine the song that red was singing was called Teddy bear Teddy bear by red

[@allendixon7700]

That's a song for Christmas f*** off it's about compassion and that's what Christmas is about it's about compassion

Come on back trucker talk to daddy bar

[@rayfaircloth8253]

Their version of "How Great Thou Art" performed in the Alps of Austria is awesome!!

[@stanrock2225]

This may be the best version out there. Vocal excellence.

[@karis_H.2000]

I've never heard this version of this song before, but I love it so much! You're absolutely right! Home Free can sing anything and sound absolutely amazing! I love them! I'm obsessed with their version of “When a Man Loves a Woman”! It was my favorite song I'd heard from them (which I haven't heard all of them) until they released a cover of “Listen to the Music” by the Doobie Brothers. I'm super obsessed with it! I know it's not a Christmas song, but I definitely think you should listen to it for one of your non-Christmas reactions.

[@jasonmoir7486]

these guys rock, absolutely so diverse in their music, you could do them all day.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Absolutely love the sweaters, looking fabulous. Just beautful and their talent is too amazing. Thanx so much, Say hey to the babies, Peace

[@debbysalmon2498]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard from Home Free. The setting is breathtaking.

[@tammydodge388]

We always love it when a song gets Home Fried!

[@redstateforever]

I just recently learned this song was written during the Cuban Missile crisis, in 1962, as a sort of cry for peace. We came THIS CLOSE to full on nuclear annihilation during that time, as in, the whole planet. I would’ve never been born, along with most of you. I’ve always loved this song, now I love it even more. If this song lowered the temp even a few degrees, that makes it one of the most important songs ever.

[@patreciaober3470]

If you ever get the chance to go to one of their concerts go. Tim's bass rumbles your entire body. Went to a concert in October and sat 3rd row center. It was amazing.

[@eileenegger1466]

All of their Christmas songs are great. As usual,their backdrop is excellent and complements the song.

[@HuskerGram]

I'm almost 70 and have heard this song probably thousands of times over the years. Like you, I didn't really listen to the lyrics (although I knew them.) It was just another Christmas song and no matter who sang it, it was the same song. Home Free turned it upside down, inside out and made it new again. Their vocals (way beyond the notes) are amazing. These guys make sounds come out of their mouths that I don't think anyone else has tried (or maybe could.) Then there's the world class beat boxer. Such a talented group! Thanks for reacting to them again.

[@paulaanderson7691]

Oh lort! You're making us Pentaholics jealous!!! C'mon y'all - share the spotlight with PTX! You rock!

[@Betty-ry2kr]

A league of their own talent wise.

[@suzettephinn7829]

Why am I crying 😢❤❤❤ home free. Made my night.

[@dorothystorry1733]

Mary Did You Know… should be your next reaction… What an amazing song..

[@charleneclaassen]

This is so beautiful. Austin was beatboxing in this. Choose any of their songs and it would be a winner. I love HF TRAVELING SOLDIER

[@dananddiana2]

What is the matter with you guys? Every time you watch Home Free you say how wonderful you think they are, then you wait for a whole year before watching them again???? Man, they have over 150 beautiful songs out there... You gotta watch them more often!!! Love your reactions to them 🙂 I noticed that you have reacted to Kenny Rodgers... Home free did a song WITH him before he passed... "Children go where I send thee" It is a great new version.

[@pamdimitrio4972]

Amen! Every day we wake up is a blessing. I get godsmacked all day long he is good! And every member of Home Free realizes that. Oh Holy Night that's another good one you probably saw it last year

[@robrobertson4619]

Bing Crosby doing White Christmas may be one of the most iconic Christmas songs ever, but try Bing doing “Mele Kalikimaka” ( Hawaiian Merry Christmas). Such a fun Christmas song and Bings version is classic. 😉

[@pokeyphillips9087]

You guys have to check out Home Free singing Auld Lang Syne, it's perfect for this time of year.

[@kristindunstan172]

I've seen them live and the bass actually vibrates your seat in the theater. It's pretty amazing!

[@jizomeovonsteelwind]

I'll say it again 🙂, and especially since you're listening to HomeFree, Check out VoicePlay (another a capella group), there version of Oogie Boogie's song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's a great version, and Geoff Castellucci's range is shown in this song, and it's crazy. The last note had me rewind it and listen again.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

love this song...thank you for this reaction 👍🏻😀

[@davidstephens6462]

Need to watch Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer by HF with the kids. I think the girls would love it.

[@katherinebaxter6870]

I love that you guys have listened to Home free, and pentatonic, but I think you should also watch/listen to voice play! They are considered the theater kids of these three groups, and are a lot of fun. I love all three groups and they all have something unique to offer. Some good songs would be: The Greatest Showman Medley, If I were a rich man/woman, A chance to fly (wicked medley), boy bands in 5 minute. Those are just a few, but they have a lot of amazing covers, including some Disney movie covers that you could react to with your girls!

[@Roguefem76]

I've been trying to get them to listen to VoicePlay, but it looks like they don't care.

[@marlahudgins7038]

I swear Tim is going to cause an avalanche! lol This my favorite rendition of this song.

[@objectiveobserver4278]

This is my favorite Christmas Carol. Vanessa Williams also does an amazing rendition of this song as well. It's an original video.

[@magneto7930]

One of my favorite Christmas songs, and this is definitely an awesome version as well!

[@thegingergyrl455]

I miss singing carols every year. I used to record some for my Mom everyday year. A lot of gospel music as well. My best vocal lessons were taught by those songs.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Love your reaction to this one, Home Free really took this song to a different level.

[@reneroberson2784]

This song right here will take your breath away you'll get goosebumps you will melt in your chair because of Tim how low he goes let me see what else how high Austin goes the beatboxing with Adam and his brother Chris doing bass as well it's never ending with these men ever.. everybody in here is doing more than just there one part they're outstanding..

[@daronbaird6060]

Home Free did the song Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys. It was great.

[@AzaleaLala]

Very nice, They made it there own. "Do You Hear What I Hear" sung by John Gary. It's an oldie. His voice is beautiful and expressive.

[@williamcapp448]

The absolute best version of this song I've ever heard.

[@markadolph8715]

Love Home Free; I definitely consider myself a Home Fry. But I'm also very much a Pentaholic. You should definitely hit their version of O Come All Ye Faithful

[@baird5776mullet]

"Little Drummer Boy 1989" by Bob Seger.

[@stormy8207]

Love this song. Also little Drummer Boy

[@katrinaprescott5911]

I'm glad y'all are back to Home Free again. They are a fantastic group. If you haven't seen it, I think their rendition of "Don't Laugh at Me" with Mark Wills (the original artist) is right up your alley. Also "When Will I Be Loved". There are dogs in the video 😁

[@josephscally6270]

Thes guys are insanely talented.

[@ducatiman1309]

Just stunning !!!

[@jimmyterry8233]

Jay and Amber, Home Free collaborated with the late legend Kenny Roger’s on the song “Go Where I Send Thee”. I think you would enjoy reacting to this particular song and collaboration.

[@ifiction1029]

Home Free always sounds incredible, even when doing something as silly as "The Butts Remix," but my personal favorite is their cover of Cam's "Mayday," and I freely admit that most of my love for that one comes from Tim Foust singing tenor rather than bass...though his deep bass in their versions of "Elvira" (done with The Oak Ridge Boys) and "Ring of Fire," (done with Avi Kaplan formerly of Pentatonix) is amazing. Adam Rupp must've just swallowed an entire drum kit at some point, and Tim Foust is a human subwoofer. Austin Brown is the most angelic high tenor I've ever heard, Rob Lundquist is always incredible, and Adam Chance as a baritone is exactly what the group needed after Chris Rupp's departure. Their rendition of "Auld Lang Syne," was the first song of theirs I ever listened to, and I fell in love with their voices then. Most recently, they've done excellent renditions of Rascal Flatts' "Bless the Broken Road," and Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever, Amen," but their cover of/tribute to Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler," is hauntingly beautiful. Honestly, you can't really find a bad song when it comes to Home Free, but their country stuff is top tier. Their version of Maren Morris' "My Church," Thomas Rhett's "Die a Happy Man," and Russell Dickerson's "Yours," are also pure magic, but the VIDEO for their rendition of "Make You Feel My Love," (written by Bob Dylan but sung by almost everybody in music at least once by this point (the best version being by Garth Brooks)) is pure comedy gold. Seriously, you can't go wrong with Home Free.

[@todderickson2435]

YES!! You finally reacted to not just my favorite Home Free Christmas song, but my favorite Home Free song, period! Just like you two, on my first (of about 587) viewing of this video, my mind was blown so many times! There is just SO much going on in this song, all of it incredible! The setting of the video is the ice castle that is made every year for our Winter Carnival here in Minnesota (where our boys got started), and I was very concerned that Tim's dragon notes were going to shatter the thing. 😆 I just got to see our guys in concert three days ago (for the second time), and this song was one of the many highlights of an absolutely amazing evening!! Keep up the great reactions, especially for our Home Free guys!! If you haven't reacted to "What Christmas Means to Me" yet, I definitely recommend it. The guys are at their goofiest, and Rob absolutely sleighs the lead vocals. (See what I did there?) 😉

[@ElizasGrammy]

I remember you guys saying once that you really love John Denver. He did a beautiful rendition of "Oh Holy Night" and also "Silent Night". I think it would bless you. 🙂

If you want Christmas songs to fit your theme AND female Friday, consider Chrissie Hynde with The Pretenders on “2000 Miles” about a couple separated over the miles, and Kirsty McColl with The Pogues singing “A Fairytale of New York” singing as a couple breaking up, arguing and reminiscing about past Christmasas. Great stuff.

[@kgeames5706]

One of the best Christmas songs is “ Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” by Buri Ives. ❤️

New Subscriber! You're so right about Home Free's versions making you hear a song differently, I think I love every cover they've done better than the originals.
