First Time Reaction to Home Free - When A Man Loves A Woman (Percy Sledge Cover)

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Austin is in studio with the sound man and his lovely lady Amberly Hall in his view by the camera. The other are in their studio spaces at their homes. This was filmed during the Covid quarantine and they filmed in and around their own homes to release a new video every 2 weeks. If you want to see what his beautiful goddess looks like, check out Home Free video Brother, a cover from a christian contemporary group called needtobreathe. The song is wonderful, the video is hilarious. And Amberly is the Kelt warrior woman who takes out elf-Austin from behind.

I always loved the late Percy Sledge's 1966 original & I think he'd have approved of Home Free's rendition. They're on screens because this was during the Covid lockdown. I think one of the songs you'd love is "Spaceship" - Rob's lovely wife Kelsey and their adorable children are in it.

You guys seem like friends! Thanks! Thanks!

[@pokey5428]

"She can bring him such misery." Meaning she can treat him bad, take him for a fool, etc and he'll take it--it's all explained in the lyrics.

[@Kevin-cy4qn]

I believe Percy would be proud!

[@ashleysheree7057]

One of my favorites from them. Austin sings his butt off! He is amazing

[@Alan-dx1ys]

He know and plays along.

[@BSGNative]

Percy Sledge wrote this song after a bad breakup. That's where the "such misery" line comes from.

[@JCJPL2520]

From where did you get your information from... just making up stories haan??

[@BSGNative]

From Wikipedia: "Authorship Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright were members of the Esquires, a band in Sheffield, Alabama fronted by singer Percy Sledge. According to Wright, "We were set to play a Friday night dance, and we were practicing ... I was messing around on the organ when this riff came up out of nowhere. There was no one in the club but us. I told Calvin to go home and write some words." The next night, they rehearsed the emerging song with Sledge, changed it around, and soon afterwards auditioned the song for local businessman and radio DJ Quin Ivy. He liked the song but suggested that some of the words be changed to give a more positive message. Wright said, "We kept some of the phrases, worked on it for several weeks, and spent quite a bit of time in the studio."[6] Although the writing of the song is credited to Lewis and Wright, Sledge later said that he should have received a co-writing credit. In one story, Sledge said that one night he was upset over a broken relationship and asked Lewis and Wright to play a slow blues over which he improvised lyrics describing his emotions; Quin Ivy was at the show and asked the band to refine the lyrics so that it could be recorded. Sledge said that he allowed Lewis and Wright to take the writing credits because they gave him the opportunity "to sing his heart out".[3][better source needed] In another interview, Sledge said: When I wrote the song at first, it was called "Why Did You Leave Me Baby". And I changed it from that to "When a Man Loves a Woman". I just reversed it. Quin told me that if I was to write some lyrics around that melody and the expression I'd put into "Why Did You Leave Me Baby", he believed it would've been a hit record. He was one of the top disc jockeys at that time. Sure enough, he asked me if I had any lyrics for that. He said, "That's it! Write a story around that title! What a song that would be with that feeling you had!" It was a song that was meant to be. It wasn't just what I had done; it was the musicians, the producer, the background singers, the right time.[7]"

[@pharaoh2537]

He said say it again. She says it again and he looks right in the camera. Priceless......lol. Great reaction

[@charlesjonestherednecknerd]

Very nice save on the brings him misery! Love the song and your reaction. Austin surprised me with how well he did this cover.

[@billmarshall5040]

Sing Austin SING! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👞👞👞 Nice reaction guys!

[@michaelcheatham2905]

Oooo damn good answer on the misery part. Phew good save!

[@rcinsley]

Blue-eyed soul!

[@brendagrothier967]

Home Free always picks the right person for the leads in all their songs.

[@roberthudson1959]

They don't let ego get in the way of excellence.

[@rollanrand]

A little history....Percy Sledge and African-American singer came out with this song in 1966....I bought it as soon as I heard it on the radio and played it on my 45rmp record player....one of my favorites.

[@annemayseyfried8907]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥They've been very creative during quarantine times!

[@joanbenson4381]

IF she does him wrong; she can bring him such misery. - Percey Sledge introduced the song. Micheal Bolton covered it. Home free COVERED IT. Compliments to them all. = Good reactions!

[@joejarvis2793]

The line before he asks her not to treat him bad. This a man baring his soul to a woman. Telling her why she should look his way. The way his love is going to be. Basically, treat him gently if she doesn't feel the same way. Can tell you, that after working up the nerve to ask nothing cuts any deeper than a snicker, snort or an eye roll.

[@conniestone2806]

lol! Love your great reaction to this great cover and Austin just killed it! But you guys "arguing" at the end about whether there is passion in dancing, etc., made me chuckle. You absolutely showed how great a passion you have, dancing or otherwise, when you did the smoothest fast-talking I've ever heard about if a woman can bring misery to a man who deeply loves her! lol. That was so great! And you are right, the deeper you love someone, the more likely you could be hurt (in misery). If you don't love deeply, then you're not going to really care either way. Awesome reaction guys! Take care.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Love Home Free.

[@nestea8385]

This is one of many that they recorded, each in their own homes, during the pandemic, then put together. Amazing! I think you'd like 'MEET IN THE MIDDLE'

[@stanrock2225]

This should be fun. They killed it. Hit the like button

[@jackiepierce1467]

I agree about the passion. The passion for singing, dancing, writing. (I love to write, also.) It comes out in such a way that it looks easy. Austin makes singing look easy. It's not. Dancers make dancing look easy because of the passion they have for it. It makes all those difficult moves look easy enough for anybody to do. They are not. They just love what it is they do and it comes across as effortless. That's the passion.

[@janethoffman4197]

Thanks for reacting to this! Austin killed it!

[@Aprlmoore]

Awww, y'all are awesome! Glad to see you react to this. Also, dancing, writing, singing -- they are all God's gifts to us and you should share them.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We agree! Glad you enjoyed the reaction.

[@babyfry4775]

What I love about Home Free is just how much music they’re putting out during Covid. I’m so appreciative. Austin and Adam (beatboxer) killed this. It’s so good. Austin has been putting out lots of music on his own channel too. He sings Etta James’s song “At Last”. He does an admirable job. The boys put out some funny songs lately and that’s been so much fun. Sea Shanty and Never Gonna Give You Up are hilarious while sounding so good. Good reactions you two and I subscribed.

[@AO-po8kc]

“Why does he say a woman gives a man misery? Then proceeds to with a beat down 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice reaction

[@maryhumphrey3002]

Austin just killed this song. It should go to #1.

[@annepinkerton7735]

She can bring him misery if she doesn't love him as much as he loves her. Along with the next line, it makes sense. If she's played him for a fool, he's the last one to know .... Lovin' eyes can never see!!!

[@kellywilliams364]

Great explanation of "misery". Good reaction y'all.

[@glistymiczek4142]

The original version says she can bring him such misery, loving your Reactions

[@BelwalAmit]

The word miseries is used in a poetic way, men go out of their way, out of their comfort zone to please their beau, that may put them in misery, that's what it means!

[@patmcintosh6784]

I just googled the lyrics for this song and the word "misery" is in the original.

[@jesj27]

Austin had his girlfriend with him when recording. He was singing to her!

[@markhilliard4037]

Mr Demouchets you did an "amazing job" with the misery and saved yourself from a dire fait Bro...oooh close call close call

[@rachelhurst3224]

I love singing. I'm passionate about singing. Other people love hearing and watching me sing. I hate watching and hearing videos of myself singing. It is too easy to be critical. I'm always comparing myself to other people, what vocal choices I "should've" made, or what needs improvement. But WHEN I'm singing, I don't care. I'm just singing and loving every moment.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Hey guys how y'all doing I was thinking about you guys about a week ago when that tornado outbreak occured last week and the storm was headed from Texas into the Shreveport area !! I hope all was well for you guys !! Austin just KILLED it !!! Have you guys seen Home Free's latest ? They Rick-Rolled us Home Fries on April Fools Day !!

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Hi Kevin! It's been a while, but we are back. Thanks for thinking of us.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@TheDemouchetsREACT Awesome to hear...y'all got a lot to catch up on with Home Free...they have been too awesome the last year. Taken their singing to the next level. React to their latest called The Driver, its a cover of a 2016 song....it's a masterpiece !!!

[@G-grandma_Army]

Hilarious! Miserable argument 😂😂😂 good explanation man! Love it!

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

🤣

[@billmarshall5040]

😂😂😂😂. Nice save man!

[@joeschmoe665]

Austin and Adam (beat boxer) stole the show on this one. Yes, the screens were for social distancing. Lastly on the misery lyric, “When a man loves a woman she CAN bring him such misery”. Not “does bring him such misery”.

[@camillawickham1494]

Talented brothers!

[@minneyruth]

Yo, Austin almost put you in the doghouse until you cleared it up 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

lol

[@donnaellis2424]

Awesome reaction!! Have not seen you all in a while. Hope all is well. Austin’s was singing to his girlfriend Amberley (who was at the studio)

[@sakadula]

The misery is explained in the next line, which unfortunately is not so clear in this recording: "If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know--loving eyes can never see"

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We heard it clearly. This is just our perspective. Thanks for watching!

[@brendagrothier967]

For the last year there are a lot of quareenteen videos where they are not in the same room.

[@hawkptuey2771]

Bring him misery - no one can hurt you like the one you love.

[@dorismalpas696]

That line means that his women can drive him crazy if she doesn't do right by him and it causes him such misery.

[@renegade121258]

Check out their Boys 2 men cover of "End of the Road".

[@winstonsmith8441]

"She can bring him such misery", not "she will bring him such misery". If someone you love rejects you it will bring you misery. If you are rejected by someone else, who cares.

[@Loulizabeth]

Or the even worse situation of being cheated on. The whole point is it's a possibility not a definite. If the relationship doesn't work out for whatever reason, especially if it's unexpected and hurtful, pain and misery will be the result. And obviously that's the same the other way round too. But if it's a good relationship then obviously "misery" won't happen.

[@belinda9696]

They are doing their videos in their homes spread out in different states so they are not doing any of their videos together during these times.

[@cheridampier2524]

Congratulations on 15k+!

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Thank you!

[@grannysgarage]

I can't remember if y'all reacted to Teddy damnit Swims

[@aaronburdon221]

A woman can bring a man misery by being non-responsive to the love he offered.

[@kellymorrell4688]

This just shows how a man and a woman see things a guy Annalise and gall feels

[@williamcapp448]

I started to wonder if you guys were hearing the back-up vocals and the beat boxer. The beat boxing carried this song.

[@danlynnhunt287]

Look at verse before he said she can bring misery she's playing him for a fool. I know know what he's talkin about some past experience.

[@jp2556817]

It does not say she will bring him such misery. It says she can bring him such misery.

[@Tubalcain422]

You two probably get the song wrong because the two of you are in love. The song is “when a man loves a woman” in the case of the original artist, he wrote this when he discovered the woman he loved did not love him. Brings a better understanding to the lyrics.

[@stephnicole8242]

Check out penatonix

[@samhamblen2270]

They live in Three states and can not be together to record.

[@shannonmccullough8324]

He can't see it if she is bad. He is the last to know. Misery.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Austin had his girlfriend in the studio while he was singing this one.

[@suehall6632]

I thought that means that you know she can bring you misery if she cheats on him or does something like that I think that's what it means

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

This is OUR interpretation. It doesn't mean what you believe is incorrect.
