Austin's dad here. Your reaction is the best that I have seen so far. It was very fun watching you react to the video.

[@Kamarovsky_KCM]

Sir, you have an amazing son!

[@chrislind57]

Really?

[@joanwharff6483]

I more than agree with you, Mr. Brown! And, you must be so proud of Austin! Be it with Home Free or solo, his voice is amazing!

[@dedrickcutrer4308]

Austin is so talented you must be so proud. Talk them in to touring in the deep south. I'm in Louisiana and they would pack the house.

[@Green-Lyon]

You son is so inspiring. Never will get tired of that magical voice :)

[@marlahudgins7038]

DON MCLEAN IS 75, he sounds wonderdful... This was pure perfection

[@garrycreech956]

Thank you don for many summers in my youth

[@TheCaveman46]

Collaborations with FIVE American music legends...so far: Kenny Rogers, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Lee Greenwood and NOW Don McClean! Not too shabby at all!!!

[@matt42a]

Charlie Daniels also.

Mike Rogers It’s hard to remember everything they’ve done! It’s great to see them do so well!!

[@warrenleahey908]

This is a truly magical song . Not because when it is heard , peoples hearts and minds are instantly flooded with wistful musings of their younger lives , often happy memories . Not because when this song is heard in a group setting ( particularly a pub or club in my wayward case ) , all types of people , friend and stranger alike will join in singing along together , often loudly . For 8-odd minutes everyone is a family . The absolute magic of this song is that the lyrics are sad and melancholy , yet the instant the first few bars are heard , people smile and become happy . Every individual has a list of personal songs that transport them to a joyful wonderland . This song lifts and takes everyone there . Truly magical .

[@Foolmoon1973]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ThePositive0ne1]

That is so well put. And yeah anytime I hear this song it reminds me of when I would sing it on like the original Guitar Hero on the Wii. Like it brings back so many good memories and it just makes me so happy because no matter what even in tough times there is a little light in the back of our head slowly growing brighter than we can contain and we just have this ultimate feeling of happiness and we can't control it.

[@markieman64]

I just think of Buddy Holly (and the other folk who died, of course!). I've never seen the song as happy.

[@jedclampett631]

And the beatboxer knocked it out of the park as usual.

[@maryel5398]

Absolutely one to cry over, especially because you have to wonder how the careers of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper would have gone. They were so young. The Big Bopper at 29 was the old man. Now I’m even sadder. I hadn’t realized quite HOW young they were. I love watching you reminisce about time spent with your parents. It’s lovely to see someone whose home life really was decent growing up.

[@jasmo6559]

It's crazy to think that two of them weren't even supposed to be on the flight that Buddy Holly ("That'll Be The Day") chartered. A seat was given up for The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace") because he had caught the flu and Ritchie Valens ("La Bamba") won a seat on a coin toss for crying out loud! Makes you wonder.

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

@@jasmo6559 And that Waylon Jennings is one of those who gave up their seat and suffered guilt his whole life for his final words to his friends.

[@m.harrison2151]

Don still has it at 75! They released this song on 2/3/21, the 50th anniversary of the original in 1971! Also, the anniversary of when the “music died” with the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holley, Richie Valens & J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson at the beginning of their careers. Home Free knocked this one out of the park! They were thrilled that Don McLean agreed to do the song with them. Love you, Sweetie! ❤️

[@mettesrensen6116]

Actualy it was Don who reached out to HF , and asked if they wanted to do this tribute with him , just as Kenny Rogers did with his song -- Children go where i send thee

[@lschoenrank]

Originally released in 1971, huh? So I was 14, and that would explain why I still have the single! The only single I ever had that needed both sides for the hit song - no "side B".

[@lesli148]

I absolutely love how Home Free made this their own but also kept the original in tact.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

THEIR BEST EVER !!!! And with a music legend too on his own song...it's almost too much !! But it was well worth it. So glad this made you shed tears of joy, not sadness !!! Take care from your Home Fry Kevin in Miami :)

[@johnsanborn4658]

Love you reactions. You rock. My youngest daughter and I used to watch these all the time. Sadly, I lost her in October and your videos have been such a big part of my healing process. Thank you for your devotion to your fans. You have a lifelong one in myself. Keep it up!!

[@stephanginther9051]

God bless you and yours.

[@tinahuff7466]

I am so sorry for your loss

[@spideydew20]

John, I am so very sorry for your tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

[@scottboa2738]

Truly sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy.

[@PanduPoluan]

Omigosh my condolences to you sir. Hopefully you've found closure and can reminisce about the good memories you've made with her.

[@Malmas7]

Don McLean actually chose Home Free to do this anniversary version, so that's a huge kudo to Home Free as well and honestly I can't think of any better group for him to have done this with. Thanks for sharing your lovely story on the good memories this song brought for you. xoxooxoxo

[@toodlescae]

Austin's high background vocals are amazing. Then Tim's bass and Chance stretching that range. Adam was amazing and so was Rob. It was all epic, especially the way they respected Don.

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

This one always gets me, perhaps because I'm old enough to see all the references in the song that most people don't catch. On the front of it, Don McLean was a 13yr old paperboy, delivering the news when the plane crashed that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. An incident that rocked a generation during the early years of rock and roll. Most folks get that, and the guys released this on the 50th anniversary of Don's song, but also on the day, 62 yrs later of that fateful crash. But many don't get a lot of the "easter egg" references throughout the song. To the Byrds, Bob Dylan, Charles Manson, The Beatles, Mick Jagger and the Hells Angels who ran security at one of his concerts, and to the death of Janis Joplin. They are all in there. The song brings joy to the heart while its breaking it at the same time.

[@M-S_4321]

I was born a couple of years before this song arrived. It has been a part of my life for over 50 years. This is the first time in decades it's made me tear up.

[@steveg5933]

This was uploaded on American Pie's 50th anniversary, so mom's amazement that Don McLean still being alive is a legit one this time

[@DennisKovacich]

The original wasn’t recorded until May, and was released in October, of 1971. This video was released on the 62nd anniversary of The Day the Music Died, when a plane crash killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper.

[@johnallen869]

This is what music is all about! It made me cry too, and I don't know why. Maybe because we just witnessed something that doesn't happen very often, the creation of a masterpiece!

[@krististanovich]

Loved ur honest reaction!!! Memories are the best. Thats why I love Home Free because them redoing these covers is introducing my 15 yo daughter to amazing music!!!

[@KevinFarleyWV]

Your dad was a good man to teach you those music lessons early on. Great reaction. As a dad, allow me to say that you have a beautiful smile, keep showing it off. I have enjoyed watching your reactions because you are not afraid to allow emotions to show. Good job.

[@cheryljohnson733]

They are the best acapella music group performing today: talented, best beat boxer, write a lot of their own music, play multiple instruments, funny and can hold and audience, best of all they aren't gimmicky. And can we add handsome with broad appeal?.

[@RichardOliverWY]

I was 11years old when the United Artists released album was released. Oh my, firstly, your reaction was just golden. Easy to tear-up, eh because if you are of a certain age, this tune seemed to contain much of your life especially the younger years. Now, I am old, Home Free and Don together first was a surprise but how moving the tune is still as both I and it have aged. Ty again.

[@bethcoussou]

Don’s not only alive, but he can still sing! I think it’s great that your dad introduced you to some of the great songs!! This one has definitely stood the test of time! I am thrilled that Don agreed to record this with Home Free! I really loved your ready-eyes reaction! It shows you have a heart! You should show the video to your mom that Don is very much alive! Heck! She’ll probably love the video!

[@joanwharff6483]

He approached Home Free !!! 💖🙃‼️

[@rosedouglas9586]

Adam's beat boxing was beyond excellent....for over 8 minutes! Each solo was amazing. Such a great match up with Don and Home Free. Your reaction was similar to mine and I could be your grandma. Just means good music knows no bounds.

[@johnlowther4927]

And, now, I have another amazing “American Pie” moment. What a sweet, joyful, lovely reaction! ‘Such a pleasure enjoying this performance with you. Thanks…

[@Tribblepuppy]

Tim was in the basement with his bass, and Adam Rupp was on fire with his beatboxing. Loved your reaction to this basically sad song. Great remake of this classic song.

[@laptopgirl09]

"I never realized how long this song was" This was my exact reaction to hearing their version before the video! I cried almost the entire time, the harmonies are beautiful, but I think it's the memories and nostalgia that came along with hearing it.

[@blairkimberlin3447]

love your reactions. Don Mclean asked them to do the collaboration. he loves their harmonies and decided he wanted them for the 50th anniversary release of the song

[@Green-Lyon]

Grew up listening to this song on Classic Rock radio. I love story songs including the ones your father introduced you to.

[@siegfriedherrmann6212]

Wow! such a wonderful colloration!! Thank you so much "Dead Girl Superstar" for yet another absolutely fantastic reaction to this wonderful effort!! i 100% agree with your view point...whats more...you've never looked more lovelier young lady! you literally share "helen of troy" abilities being "a face that could launch a thousand ships" because of its beauty lol!! Lastly.....i always love your emotional reaction to the point of tears! its one of your most special and beautiful qualities!! Take care and God Bless

[@sheliaspringer7389]

This song is about when BUDDY HOLLY, THE BIG BOPPER, and Richie Vallenze were killed in a plane crash. I always love your reactions.

[@vernhoke7730]

I remember hearing this on the radio back in middle school in the early '70s, at the time it was the longest song I'd heard on air at 8 and a half minutes. It was so long when it was released as a single it was split into 2 parts on both sides of the 45.

[@TheBHoky]

Best cover ever!!!! You are not a dead girl. The life in your reaction is real.

[@musik102]

Surely, this version of the song must be the ultimate recording to have if you were stranded on a desert island. Trying to make sense of the lyrics would be a full time job, and studying those harmonies would keep a person entertained for many a long hour...year!

[@heidisprouse4290]

Honey you have to watch Home Free When a Man Loves a Woman and Austin's Unchained Melody on his own ❤

[@mannyescoto2580]

That was great music! I love Don Mclean almost all his songs..thnk you for reacting to this song girl..an iconic song in the 70's!!

[@spideydew20]

THIS WAS SOOOOO GOOD, AND SO MUCH FUN!!!! Chance was rockin' that first solo (great to hear him get the "chance" to shine), Tim was laying down an absolutely sick bass line, Adam was his usual mind-blowing percussion self, Rob and Austin were their typical awesome, the old-timey video clips were a fantastic touch....and THE MAN, Don McLean!! Great reaction to a phenomenal song and video!!

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This is absolutely my favorite collaboration they have done. I loved them all but wow. This is a story about a very sad day. Great reaction as always.

[@Almcosta25]

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I am sure that many of us have tears of joy listening this so special song. I first heard it as a child, and now we commemorate its 50th years. Greetings from Porto, Portugal

[@scotthovland7380]

I was 9 when this song came out and have a renewed love for it and cried like a baby also🤣Your reaction my favorite so far and I seen em all so far cuz I can't get over how good they did. Bravo 👏

[@glennspreeman1634]

the video blew me away, but the whole experience is wonderfully overwhelming!!

[@BGWII66]

I was crying right there with you. They did this song proud. Loved every second of it.

[@ClandOp]

I was 10 years old when Don released this song. I heard it on the radio and it was one of the few experiences I remember perfectly, equivalent to the moon landing. It was #1 on the charts in 1971, and remains the longest #1 song in history.

[@ralphlaker3259]

Hi from Winnipeg, great reaction, I was 12 when thissong came out and I remember singing to it walking the streets of Toronto with friends and having a blast. Listening to this version brings it all back and to see Don singing with the boys really makes me proud to be a Homefry!

[@larryclark4297]

He wrote this song after Buddy Holly died the Big bopper and Ritchie Valens in an airplane crash R.I.P. on February 3rd 1959 they took off from a field that night and it was snowing they didn't have instruments on the plane like they have now the pilot died too

[@davelegrid2052]

I just want to say this. I love your reactions, I love the fact you will listen to these old songs, and I love it when you cry. It makes me smile. Keep it up.

[@DiacriticalOne]

I saw the original video tonight and actually teared up pretty hard. I thought, this isn’t good to cry alone, so I checked your channel for a reaction because I knew I could watch it with you and that would make it better. Great video. Great reaction.

[@williamroop451]

I love how they let Don open and close the song out - setting the tone that they each tried to match perfectly.... I also love the adorable way you tip your head into your hands with that smile.... Beautiful reaction.

[@tonycamacho66]

That was incredible. Well done Home Free, having Don McLean in the video, well done and thank you. I grew during this songs reign, was iconic then, apparently now as well. Literally brought a tear to the eye. Thank you Deadgirl for sharing, I would never have heard this otherwise, thank you.

[@Logan-ed4pu]

You have this beautiful quality in being able to feel things so intensely, and it adds so much authenticity and rawness in your reactions that truth be told was something that made me want to play music. I appreciate your channel so much.

[@chrisdemboski8111]

Your energy is priceless. I wish this is how everyone could react to oldies but favorites. The purity and love for this is expressed through your facial reaction and it’s encouraging. Love this song!!

[@scarymarysunshine9155]

Happy tears, and lots of memories for sure. I love the songs with the stories. I liked Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon , not sure if it's the title, but the song always makes you think and it's deep ( I always cry).

[@billsanderson1442]

I love Harry Chapin and got to see him live shortly before he died in the car crash. Cat's in the Cradle and 30,000 Pounds of Bananas are two of my favourites of his.

[@SoCalMeerkat]

I remember as a kid singing this song with my Pops in the front seat of his car. Just boppin' and smilin' down the road. Good times. Thanks.

[@madameevycat]

Don McLean still sounds great after all of these years, and I’m elated that Home Free’s arrangement didn’t take anything away from that. Bravo to the boys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lovelynurse2000]

One of the fondest memories of my father was his love of music and him singing to me. Eventually I started to sing with him. This was one he really loved and "Brown Eyed Girl". He got me so interested with music. We listened to all kinds of genres and loved singing. I really miss him. He passed away 22 years ago...way too young!

[@quiltie1774]

I saw the notification that you were doing this one! I couldn’t wait!

[@dragonmusher]

My mom told me what this song was about when I was about 10. I grew up listening to Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valens. I didn't know that "the day the music died" was when all three died at the same time in one plane crash. I didn't know til then that those legendary entertainers and artists were dead. Makes me shed a tear every time I hear it now. You aren't alone ;) Perfectly great reaction to this song :) Home Free adding their version of magic to this makes it all the harder not to tear up.

[@9scottman]

Hey great reaction Ashley. The song is about They Day that Buddy Holy, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper Dies in a Plane Crash, after doing a Show on the Winter Dance Party on Feb 3rd 1959.in Clear Lake Iowa.

[@spectrelead]

I loved this song when I first heard Don McLean singing it, and Home Free helping him re-imagine it for its 50th anniversary just does bring that happy tear.

[@larrybutler8948]

This was the best reaction I have seen, as it was 100% real and emotional. This song covers a lot of history from the 50's through 1970. I was married with 1 child when this song was released. I have always loved it from the first time hearing it. Well Done

[@celtzen]

Oddly enough my Dads reaction was 'Don McLean is still alive..' -- what a song tho wow...

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

My first thought was the same. He's 75 and still can rock it.

[@barrywerdell2614]

When I was a teenager I wrote to an organization Don McLean was associated with to see if they had any songbooks of his music. A few months later I got two in the mail, Autographed! Been a fan eversince.

[@SquawFox]

To quote another reactor, "If there was ever a song that represents "The Great American Novel" American Pie would be it" and I agree.

[@michaelcallan5336]

Glad you enjoyed this one as much as I did. Btw, some of those songs you mentioned I haven't heard of in years, but if you like songs like "Edmund Fitzgerald" I'd recommend you look up "The Titanic" by The Irish Rovers, I'd also recommend you listen to their song "The Unicorn" for somthing lighthearted and silly.

[@caitlinseaton7546]

Or if you want to keep crying, their version of “Come by the Hills”

[@deanm375]

My very first record was a 45rpm single of American Pie. It was1972 and I was 6 years old. The song was so long that I had to flip the record over to play the second half. But At 6 I memorized every single word. 50 years later I get to experience the song again in such a wonderful way.

[@jamesstanley6191]

You're correct that this brings great memories. Loved the reaction. And Ace should have many more cameos. She's a beautiful little home fry.

[@garylushman615]

your reaction are great have a listen to Home free new song When a man loves a woman Austin is brilliant

[@myrlwallace9012]

Yeah girl. I have been listening to it since it came out (I am old). They made a perfect song better and turned it into a hymn. There is magic in that song.

[@lifeinsideandoutwithcarina1346]

When you said that you hoped you weren't going to cry I was like, you'll cry. 🤣 I'm completely in love with this. It's perfection and I cry, at the end, every single time I hear this. I don't do that with the original. Thanks for a great reaction! Keep rocking you! 💕🙏

[@AriesFiyah]

I saw this and was like, I need to react!! It's one of my favorite songs and I cried too!! 😍😍

[@davidorourke5795]

Wonderful thing to do that take on an epic iconic song with the original Dom McClean… and very precious reaction too!!!

i've watched more 'reaction' videos than i can shake a stick at, but your's by far, has been the most emotional and heartfelt one ever, thank you for sharing it.

[@pudster1960]

You are the best, you just let it play. Reaction does not mean keep stopping it but showing your emotion and talking about it at the end. Bravo

[@TheBlaster54]

I’m sure that Don McLean and Home Free were equally thrilled and honored to sing this wonderful song together. They all looked like they were having fun being able to perform this song together.

[@DaisyGray74]

Wonderful reaction as always, beautiful girl! I always love your reactions. You listen with your soul and it shows. ❤️

[@danniesims8111]

This so g, for those that dont k owns, was a tribute to Buddy Holley, the Big Bopper, and Rickie Valens death

[@scottboa2738]

Knowing the story behind a song, makes it more enjoyable. Take this song; It was written as a fitting tribute to the 1959 plane crash which killed music legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Hence the "Day the Music Died"

[@douglashelstrom2958]

That was an endearing reaction from you. For some of us, this is a song from our youth and to see you appreciate it with passion and emotion is wonderful. As others have said, this is the best I have ever heard ( and seen ) from Home Free. And that is saying a lot considering their body of work is. Some of that is what the song represents from a time 50 years ago ( GAAAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Thank you. I've watched many of your reactions, but I am sorry to say I never subscribed. This demands I rectify that. Love it.

[@20agers20]

I love your reactions. Very real and emotional. Don't ever apologize for the tears or the laughter, keep making these please.

[@mikehopper9516]

I was 13 years old when this song came out. It was a favorite then, Now this one is my favorite.

[@SuperMilner1]

So many thoughts brought up from growing up in the 70s! Great reaction as always, keep it up!

[@jimwells768]

Your reaction was so heart felt you brought a tear to my eye music touches me in the same way great reaction hun new sub by the way ❤️👊👊

[@conniestone2806]

Thanks sweet girl! Always love your reactions. You are always so beautiful inside and out. Memories, man, we are baby boomers, and my husband and I both were also in tears when the song ended the first time we watched. Now I've watched it about 20 times. In '71 we were young, the country was in turmoil, my fiance was in Vietnam for 14.5 months, friends were dying there.They were all being drafted, they were young, like 19-20 average. Soldiers were treated super bad when they came home from that war. A sad, sad time. At home there were riots and protests and anger over the war. Guys running to Canada to avoid the draft. It was not a good time. This song was right in the middle. It stood for a lot of things for many of us. But, back to the good stuff, today, this group we love and their incredible talent, the solos were incredible, the production incredible, the arrangement by Darren Rust over the top! He brought out the best in Don McLean as Don asked him to, pepped it up as Don also wanted. Don wanted to release this new version with HF because he said they understand harmonies. Isn't that great?! Also, the shorter version of the song was what was mostly played. After all the years of listening to this, I had never heard the long version, this one. Wow. Love your always honest reactions to the great music! Take care girl.

[@aaronjones5848]

This is actually the original version of american pie.. don mclean wrote it originally longer. But the record company wanted him to shorten the song. So I'm glad home free and don mclean did the original full version.

[@barrykesten5239]

Your reaction video (out of all the posts) mirrored how I felt. I grew up with the original but this is outstanding (and, yes, emotional for me too).

[@xMarble]

You look sooo happy giggling all the way through ♥♥

[@theironherder]

It's always a treat when I enjoy the reactions of the channel host as much as I enjoy the video. And in this case, it was particularly heartening to see how much Ms. Superstar was enjoying herself. Without, of course, doing any research to see if her reaction here is out of the ordinary.

[@glennmccarter6212]

The day the music died is SO powerful! Great reaction video from you as always! Thanks for sharing your reaction. ;-)

to be honest this song does the same to me when i here this song tears start falling

[@Vixxing21]

The "I drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry" resonates with me... im Swede but when i was young i drove a dodge 72 with a bigblock way to FAST drunk and pondered dying...

[@denisbellars9260]

Great reaction you are a genuine lovely person ! Just found your channel glad I have , This version of American pie pie home three is second to none it is top class I love it

[@stephanginther9051]

Fun fact. You know the Weird Al version of this song, 'The Saga Begins'? So does Don Mclean, in fact, his kids are big Weird Al fans and listened to that particular song so much that in a live rendition of American Pie, he accidentally did a verse of the Weird Al version. Please check out 'Believer -Alex Boye' soon. I really think it will hype you up.

[@robinsonnoble3267]

Another great song with a story is CSN To The Last Whale, Wind on the Water. Would love to hear your take on it. Thanks for being honest on your reactions.

[@scottycargo9003]

You are such a sweetheart. I was squalling right along with you. With me, the song that I remember my mom and dad passing down to me,so to speak,was "Ode to Billy Joe". Everytime I hear that song to this day I start crying happy tears Bec of the childhood memories.

[@martinhafner2201]

I'm a late boomer, so I was a little too young to be tracking current rock music when this came out, but my big sister was just the right age. So she bought and played the Don McLean records (vinyl only!) and played them. For context, this was just a couple years after the moon landing and Woodstock, so it was right in the middle of big changes. I think she still has the American Pie album, but I got the Real Don Mclean album (darker, but beautiful) somehow and it is right here next to my computer/audio/turntable kit. Since I was short some of the music, I have been raiding the used music stores to get the now old CD versions of this era of music. It got me through my teen years and early 20s when things change so fast and I was discovering who I was. Oh, just to be clear, this song has always had massive impact on me. And only more as I learned the meaning of various parts of the song. Seeing Don singing again was almost too much. He has always clearly loved singing ballads. He must have loved having just singers as his backup band. This has been a great gift.

[@OriginalPappy]

Truly the best reaction to this amazing video. Great job guys!

[@WINGNUT827]

I love that you like old music. Iam old and its nice to be heard cool beans on your music choices

[@judydempsey3957]

That was great.......I was 16 or 17 when I heard this......Home Free and Don...Epic......Judy D

[@lschoenrank]

This song is so long that it took BOTH SIDES of a 45 rpm record. I do believe that I still have mine.

[@jankreps5115]

So many great HF collaborations but this one is PERFECT!!! Don’s manager getting them together is a dream come true!! They sang the song with SO much Heart!! Couldn’t wait for the release!! How can they ever top this?? Your Dad’s right. You remember the songs that tell a story!! Great Reaction!!

[@worthgoldmusic]

Always enjoy your reactions! I was 12 years old February 3, 1959 "the day the music died". I recall being at my friend Doug's house in his attic bedroom building model cars (hot rod's) after school when the announcement came over WING radio about the plane crash right after hearing 'Chantilly Lace' by The Big Bopper. We sat there, stunned and in shock for at least a half an hour not speaking, not believing. It felt like we had just lost our whole family. /RayK

[@magoniusgaming1906]

Here's a little factoid, Tim Faust, and Buddy Holly are both from Lubbock, Texas :P
