Ahem..... I have a good suggestion for a cover of "Sound of Silence" for you to react to....

@@SirHairless This is not a spoiler, (hone of the song is played) but check out the one minute interview clip w/the guys on the channel "Audacity" titled "How Paul Simon Felt To Have Disturbed Transform Classic Song to Heavy Metal".

[@lazylady8591]

Enjoyed the reaction of The Sounds of Silence. You might want to see Tim Foust sing with The Hound and Fox. Adam Chance also performs with them. The Hound and Fox sing primarily folk songs. The Hound and Fox were the couple in Home Free's mashup of Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On. They were also were the unappreciative couple with the small child (their son) listening to the Home Free Christmas carolers on Home Free's video Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.

[@kmwwrench]

The first time I saw the video, I burst into tears when the choir came in. Very emotional. The opening still shot is from their shoot for Amazing Grace - which is .... amazing.

[@jankreps5115]

This is so well done!! It’s almost to the acapella world stubborn determination to make music together!! I see that empty play print anything oh my heavens what have we done to the children through this time😢! I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Austin is leaving Home Free in September… Nooo! The only thing you can count on in life is change. It will be interesting to see the pathway they create into the future!… So happy you reacted to this one!!

[@iamkerok]

Not alone there @kmwwrench

[@sharonspiller7427]

Not alone at all. Still brings tears to my eyes. It’s so hopeful. At the time, with the lockdown, the community of it all was a lovely gut punch. This video will always have a special place on my favorites list

[@wendyunrau9855]

It has brought many reactors to tears so good on you for enjoying the moment! There are so so many fabulous songs by Home Free but you need to look at Helplessly Hoping for its simple beauty & maybe their gospel music, How Great Thou Art...another song that will move you. Otherwise just have a look at their playlist & find one that appeals to you. You will not be disappointed...thank you!

[@betsyvondracek4009]

I love. Helplessly Hoping since Crosby, Stills and Nash did the original. Simple but beautiful. Home Free definitely has done it justice

[@danivansuperstar]

Oooooo. Yes!!! Helplessly Hoping. Sir Hairless will have a lot to say about it, I think. Sometimes the raw beauty of it escapes other reactors.

Voctave did a virtual choir cover of "You Will Be Found" you might enjoy. As for Hollins layering performances, he and Tim Foust did a cover of "Misty Mountains" that showcases the crazy extents of his layering skills quite well.

[@rllangevin3841]

Misty mountains for sure!!! Especially for the layering alone

[@tedharvick9010]

Definitely, the layering is pure genius.

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

I remember when I first saw this video, during the pandemic, it brought a huge smile to my face, as it is one of the most positive videos I have ever seen in my life. The second time I was impressed by the technical work, and later on I paid attention to their voices. Thanks to you I can see it in a different way, as your explanation of its structure is unique. Thank you very much and we will continue to learn day by day by your side.

[@SirHairless]

[@marybrown6128]

Your smiles and your tears (shared by all of us I'm sure) say it all!

A reaction video where the reactor actually reacts is a big plus for me. I love watching your face as you scan the screen in front of you for many of the videos, this was no exception. Joy, wonder, excitement .. all present in your face. Keep on forgetting that there is a camera.

[@SirHairless]

Thank you! Will do

Peter Hollens also sings with Avi Kaplan . Their version on the Nina Simone classic , Black is the color of my true loves hair is amazing. But anything Peter does is

I remember when the original came out and how it seemed to encompass many cultures around the world.

During Covid , this video was a bright light in dark times and I distinctly remember smiling when the choir entered.

[@loveloochay]

@@SirHairless temporary sadness ..... that is what makes the world go around. Discovery , and replacing sadness with joy is what great music and great songs are capable of. U2 were dominating radio when I was young and attending college , and then traveling around the U.S.A. for a bit. They impacted me a lot , but I did not know how much until I got older. They are part of the reason I finally got the nerve to learn a little piano and start singing in public .... in my 50s .. late bloomer. Your insight into music is fascinating. Thanks so much.

[@loveloochay]

I will give a great song recommendation Sir Hairless. The song is "One" .. buy U2. Give it a listen , and once you understand it , then listen to the cover of "One" by the one and only - Johnny Cash .... 🎸🤠🎸

You really need to do Home Free's collab with Lee Greenwood & the US Airforce Singing Sargeants remake of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA". I promise you will LOVE it. Also, check out Home Free's cover of "God Bless Texas". It was a fundraiser for the victims of hurricane Harvey which devastated South Texas.

[@nancyholter5646]

I actually prefer HF's original video for God Bless the USA in terms of the song itself. The new video is an excellent 'in praise of' for the military, but HF's 'solo' in front of Mt Rushmore is more of, as another commenter put it - a love song to the USA.

[@timothyjohnson1714]

Now that Austin has announced his departure from Home Free I think it would be really nice if Peter joined Home Free. They obviously work beautifully together.🤔🤔 What is your opinion?

[@SirHairless]

This thought never even crossed my mind! My only exposure into the life of Peter has been the two reactions I've done, and I imagine he's a very busy person. But from a purely musical perspective, I think he would be a great fit to fill Austin's shoes!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

That was on my mind too. At least part time, maybe?

[@roxannekabotsky2997]

Sounds like a southern gospel choir, with soloists and members of the choir. I loved it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I believe what they've done here is change the whole feel of the song -- creates emotion (seems to be a common theme amongst these gents). Appreciate the R&A! Be Safe

[@lschoenrank]

YES! Home Free has taken a number of songs that could be sad or lamenting, and made them hopeful or joyous. And they are particularly good at conveying emotion.

[@suecurtsinger60]

Thank you for your analysis. You are able to put into words what I feel but have very limited music knowledge.

Thank you for enjoying this music with me

[@kylejohansen689]

The other day I was trying to think of Home Free songs you should analyze. I came up with Brothers in Arms, Go Rest High On That Mountain, Can't Stop The Feeling, Unchained Melody, Folsom Prison Blues, Bless The Broken Road, Mary Did You Know, and Go Tell It On The Mountain (though MDYK is a Xmas song and it is Feb). There are just so many amazing songs they have arranged, such a ridiculously talented group.

[@SirHairless]

Thanks for the recommendations 🎶 (All are on my list)

[@pooftiger]

This one was special wasn't it? Glad you did it. It just makes you feel so good about people, that they could sing together in the face of all the fear. It's one of my favorites. Good song too. So many different kinds of ways to make music. Peter and Tim doing Misty Mountains is very special too. It's totally different. It's more highlighting Peter's layering stuff. Home Free Brothers In Arms, How Great Thou Art or Helplessly Hoping for their weird chord stuff. ETA: Yes. That was pre COVID when they recorded Amazing Grace together.

[@gustavsson5277]

I'm definitely recommending Peter's version of I See Fire, it's amazing

[@lazylady8591]

Great reaction. You might be interested in Peter Hollens and Tim Foust singing The Hobbit's Misty Mountain. Also, Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown singing Nessum Dorma together might interest you. Rob's professors at the University of Minnesota where he majored in music encouraged him to have a career in opera. Rob, however, decided on another career path. Austin encouraged Rob to sing the aria. Rob who hadn't sung opera in years took a month to prepare for the aria. Rob insisted that Austin sing with him in the video. Austin doesn't have operatic training. He has instead musical theater training. Still, Austin was able to hit the aria's high notes. Rob and Austin were nervous when they released the video about the fans' reaction. The fans were shocked at how different they sounded, especially Rob. He sounds very different than he does singing with Home Free. Despite the nervousness of Rob and Austin, the response of the fans was very positive.

[@lorriredmon8212]

I haven't seen this before. It gives such good feelings, I was in tears immediately. Peter's voice is wonderful. I love that he and HF work together so often. Like you mentioned, during a time forced separation, this helps us feel together and safe. It's just so wonderful. I loved the part where we see an entire family singing together around 11:47 SWEET! The editing is fabulous too! Once again, I appreciate you showing your emotions. So many apologize for it. I don't think sharing feelings needs any apology. Thank you!

First time seeing your channel and I have to say....Masterclass in song analysis. Wow. No one does it like you sir. I watch a ton of reaction channels and I can tell a minute in if the reactor actually grasps what is happening musically and lyrically. Those reactors rarely earn a full viewing from me.

Always a fan of Home Free and anything they're attached to. This was an amazing collaboration between Peter Hollens AND their respective communities, Home Free and Peter. I love seeing things like this. Something you might also enjoy is Voice Play's Just Sing. It's not a colab with Peter, or their community, but with other artists they've worked with over the years, people they wanted to work with, and some inspirations of theirs. It's a wonderful snapshot of just how small, yet vast, the acapella community is.

[@lschoenrank]

Oh yes! This was quite wonderful, and an absolute must watch WITH the captions turned on.

[@starstuff84]

There is nothing more powerful than music (or any art) that moves us. Seeing a 'reactor' become visibly affected or moved by music enhances the impact of the performance. I get chills rewatching these videos and seeing someone else feeling the emotional connection to the music.

[@simdoolally]

I've only recently found your channel and am catching up on your playlists, so I'm a few months late so you probably won't see this. My dad died during covid. Not from covid but because of covid and the lack of care he was receiving due to overstretched doctors and nurses. He went into hospital for 2 weeks and we never saw him again. When you said about "how many people saw each other for the very last time" I broke. It's been 3.5 years since my dad died and I think I've been completely numb until this moment when you said that. I've always found it really difficult that dad died during covid but not of covid. I feel this was kind of forgotten about knowing people who lost family members because of covid and they were all experiencing this same loss together and my experience wasn't the same. I don't know if "thank you" is appropriate for me being able to finally acknowledge and feel my grief but I guess that's all I've got. So, thank you.

[@SirHairless]

Thanks for your very touching comment. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss 🙏 The reason I said that in this video is because I had a similar experience with a family member (as did some of my friends), so it was coming from a place of experience. I think that's why this music video really got to me much more than I thought it might've (and many of the other videos in the various playlists should be a bit more upbeat and happy 🎶🕺 so hoping you find some of them!) Thanks for watching!

[@fishermansbounty]

I have watched this video probably a hundred times and still get chills all throughout the video. I have also watched multiple reactors watch it and yours is by far the best description and reaction to it I have seen. Please keep reacting to Home Free and Peter Hollens. I will be watching

[@meeting_meghan]

The photos of Peter with the guys from Home Free are from the filming of their music video of Amazing Grace. Also, those that are part of the choir could have been patrons of either Peter or Home Free, & just became patrons for that 1 month of the other to be a part of the video (which I got to be!). I believe there were 350 choir members in total.

I love your reactions and analysis's. I never manage to get through this video with dry eyes, I think it's the people doing sign language (as well as the pets) that get to me. I would love to see you react and analyse Wayfaring Stranger by Adam Chance ft The Hound and The Fox ( the young couple from the Thinking Out Loud/Lets Get It On mash up). They are very talented and have also dueted with Home Free, Tim Foust and Peter Hollens. Thank you for informative and interesting reactions.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

The way the videos are filmed Wayfaring Stranger goes back to back with The Sound of Silence by The Hound and The Fox feat. Adam Chance. And Reilly and McKenzie Zamber (Hound/Fox) also appear in Home Free's Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.

Love Peter when he collabes with HF. This is an amazing video.❤️❤️❤️

[@nightthornkvala94132]

The stills of them in the woods at the beginning of this video were taken from their video for Amazing Grace video done before COVID. Such moving voices, so beautiful. Oh, and I also highly recommend Peter's version of I See Fire. Castellucci's video is really good but, for me it just doesn't compare. Talk about "master of layering!"

[@sivonni]

Another feel good "we're all in this together" pandemic video is "Together" by For King and Country and a couple other artists. Genuinely brought me to tears.

[@christinabrown8399]

I love to watch the music get to you. I saw you getting emotional and was moved, too. Keep doing what you’re doing, it rocks.

[@juliacollett6160]

Love your reactions and analytical breakdowns. To further explore Peter Hollens' layering, please take note of his "I see fire" video. It is astonishing! Enjoy!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

A funny lockdown song you definitely need to check out is Quarantine by Home Free. It's an original. Ugh there are so many that keep popping into my head to recommend! For something completely different Rob and Austin performed Nessun Dorma. Rob has some opera training, and the opera reactors had a lot of fun Tim has said in interviews that his goal as a bass is to sound as much like and bass guitar as possible

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

Well, it's based on Billy Joel's "Honesty", but they get full points for creativity.

[@shercahn]

VoicePlay did a collab also during lock down to the song Just Sing. If you do that one, turn on your CC as they tell you who each guest is and some comedy.

[@bethcoussou]

I am so happy you reacted and analyzed this one! I can also understand why you got a little emotional. It’s a dynamic video with so many people singing so beautifully and the feeling it emotes. Nothing wrong with showing your true feelings, and I appreciate it. The choir consisted of Peter’s and Home Free’s Patrons. I was going to do it, but I chickened out. I was in an a cappella concert choir in high school, but wasn’t confident in my singing anymore. There is another really great big collaboration video like this one, but it’s Voice Play with some other artists from the Sing Off, and many other artists, including a surprise appearance from Tim Foust. It’s a really impressive video, too!

[@colombe245]

A powerful version indeed, it was such a uplifter in these hard times, and an Home Free and Peter collab is always a perfect match, try their "Amazing Grace" one's 😊 Thx Sir ❤🍟

[@beckiwhite6259]

I really enjoy your videos. I'm a harmonizing fool. Listening to you point our and explain. Totally reminds me of my 7th grade choir teacher. He was inspiring to me.

[@teresacartwright5406]

This was filmed separately in their individual locales - kudos to the editors! The singing, harmonies & beatboxing are outstanding. I think you'd enjoy Austin's latest original "I'll Go First" (have tissues on hand). Peter & Tim's renditions of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" & "Green Sleeves" are terrific. Thanks for playing this & your insights.

And there were a lot of really interesting collaborations during the pandemic. Two, I particularly enjoyed were one by a ton of Broadway stars and the one I loved the most was a collaboration of a Christian song called "the Blessing" which was put together from countries and languages around the world, singing a prayer of blessing on each other. It was awesome.

The one painting that makes me feel that they found what they were looking for is the Mona Lisa ( la Joconde). Her smile tells me that " she" - in fact he- the painter, (Leonardo's self-portrait) did find what he was looking for. The song is so appropriate for the lock down time because, I believe that when we stay still, we do find inside of us what we were looking for outside of us. As usual, your professional opinion is highly appreciated! 🥰

GREAT SONG! Great reaction! God, I LOVE your face!

I love how music can reach to a persons soul and leak down their face.

This one hits me in the feels tooThe exuberant swells with a thread of melancholy...powerful stuff. Peter Hollens and Home Free are such talents, and the patron choir is heartwarming. It touches on some of the collective pandemic trauma, as you pointed out.

Peter Hollens f. Tim Foust - "Misty Mountains" & "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" & "Greensleeves"

Loved the reaction and analysis! The opening pictures are from when they recorded the video for their version of Amazing Grace which I highly recommended you checking out. Keep ‘em coming.

I remember how warmed I was with this one when it came out. People putting such heart into connecting as they could. I love Peter Hollens' work! His 'Shenandoah' pops to mind. And he did a really fun vocal & violin Star Wars medley music video with Lindsey Stirling. You can find that one on his channel and hers.

I also had a strong reaction to this production and watched it many times to lift my own spirit.

Pentatonix fans did a similar “virtual choir” to cover Run to You. Completely fan voiced…

[@elainecourteau6231]

I had not heard that one and I absolutely love it. Timing is everything. What a way to sing together while apart. Very uplifting and moving. I really like the mix of rock, country and gospel... and why not. The song itself, people, pets and props are the stars. Hats off to the editor(s). I really appreciate your detailed observations. Thanks again. 🤗

The pets really made it for me
