Home Free Auld Lang Syne Reaction

[@hammertime615]

I love Home Free stripped down to just their vocal talent...""Helplessly Hoping" is another example as well as "I Can't Outrun You"...anxious to hear the traditional Scottish version..

[@MeNatalieMarie]

Home Free cover of John Mayer "In the Blood" probably my fav Home Free song. it's up there. You'd like it.

[@davidharman8263]

They seem to know when to keep it to the basics and when to play around with the arrangement.

[@GrandmasGoneGamingLW]

I watched the other one first, then came back and watched this one. I love them both. I think I actually like this version even better, now, than I did before (and I loved it before). I'm not in any way saying that I like it better than the original version that was familiar to you, because that's not the case. That was so very, very lovely and poignant. While watching the Home Free version, though, I realized that they kept it very simple, yet were bold with the harmonies. They didn't sing it as a raucous song (as you might hear at many New Year's Eve parties), but it still came across as poignant and thoughtful. It made me even more proud of how they work hard to retain the original flavor of songs, yet give it their own feel. Thank you very much for sharing both versions. I really enjoyed that! :-)

Harmonies are beautiful here! Thx for introducing us to something new! I’m going to watch the traditional Scottish version now! :)

[@nateeller2748]

1- Thanks for the little history lesson on this song! I didn't know it has a deep Scottish tradition. 2- My wife's family, on her mothers side, is Scottish and are from the Bruce family lineage. 3- You mentioned what a nice voice Chance has. (the Baritone) There are several songs where he sings lead that are some of my favorites, including, "I can't Outrun You" and "Castle on the Hill".

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Wow, that was beautiful & as always priceless from Home Free.

[@cindyheffler5218]

Saw them do this at their Christmas tour. No one made a sound until they finished. It was absolutely beautiful!

[@vasatitolu6245]

Hearing that you are going through home Free's Christmas special, then you have to check out their "do you hear what I hear".. Adam actually did their version on that & it was so BEAUTIFUL 🙌

[@carterslade9252]

Wat got me into them was their version of "wagon wheel", wen I was originally into Darius Rucker and I saw them and gave it a try and I was blown to see how good they were and I couldn't help but restart it 4 times over and singing along to them, and that was back in mid 2017, and I've been a fan ever since, #HOMEFREE

[@joeuluivuda9910]

Thanks for this reaction, brother. Absolutely love this song. Please react to Home Free - End of the Road

[@jackmandu]

Loved it, man, great reaction. I just checked out the other version and left a comment there about it. Here’s a little Home Free info for you. The gentleman at the soundboard is their producer, Darren Rust. Darren did the arrangement for this song, as well as the arrangement for How Great Thou Art. Home Free records at his studio, Skyland Studios, which is about 10 miles from my house. Darren had/has his own acapella group called The Blenders. They were kind of big in the late 80s and 90s. They won a couple of Emmy Awards. They still perform Christmas shows in Minneapolis, MN and Fargo, ND every year. I’ve seen them a few times and they are excellent as well. If you’re going to do Christmas series I suggest checking them out as well, maybe Hark, the Herald Angels Sing or We Three Kings. Both are excellent.

Congrats 🎉 on 6K!! So Beautiful 😍 Yes Love the Bass presents! 😍❤️✌🏻

[@marshaoflaherty8421]

The Traditional version was amazing and lovely. So different. But both versions have their own beauty. I have a special love for the male voices, (maybe from singing in choir with my dad).

[@dmmness]

I can listen to this version over and over again. So good!!

[@theofficialbarneythedinosa887]

Home frees ‘Mayday’ is one of my favourites as well as my friends’ favourites too

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

Home Free Christmas must include "Do You Hear What I Hear?" One of, if not the very best by them.

[@staceysmith465]

One of my favorites

[@belindakennedy5828]

Nicely done,love from Edinburgh Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@beverlyburch4467]

Thanks for telling the origin of the song. Looking forward to hearing your original. You're awesome!

[@gregmardon6973]

Loved your take and background to the song, they have sung it better then I have ever heard. I'm just a yank!

[@loririchards2602]

Of course, Home Free did Auld Lang Syne, the english version is amazing. The Scotty version was what you said. The word that came to my mine "comforting, compassionate, happy".

[@stanrock2225]

Really good version. Thanks for the HF!

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Thanks for the reaction....now I will watch your 2nd reaction to this song! Congrats on 6k+ subs!

[@freadadillon4071]

Love the lush bass boys on this one. And that angelic high tenor. Gorgeous.

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

It may just be my imagination but I swear sometimes during the harmonies, with the bass undertones, it hit my senses the same way a bagpipe does. And yes, I'll be watching the next version. And as always, looking for more Home Free from you. :)

[@marlahudgins7038]

I m so glad that you enjopyed that. I am looking forward to watching the 1788 version..

[@pattymesagal2654]

challenge accepted love both versions thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see the original Scottish version

[@seancurrell6012]

Great reaction bud will watch for the traditional version I’ve never heard it I don’t think:

[@denisehart7104]

Thank you, and Happy New Year! PLEASE DO try Pentatonix version. You will feel their passion in their voices, that make the lyrics more real. PTX sang a magnificent, meaningful take on this song. :) It helps all of us non-Scottish folks understand what the song means.

[@patriciaroggy1267]

Loved your reaction.

[@richb313]

They also did this as part of their Church Sessions videos with the same line up.

[@dlwbjw]

You can take the group out of the Barbershop, but you can't take the Barbershop out of the group.Yes they started out in "Barbershop".

[@alanramsay5676]

Sorry the American accent I cannot get over , it is sung well and that I can agree with but honestly ....try Dougie McLeans version on here ,he went to the same school as I did and he knocks it out of the park !!

[@jimithy47]

I love Home Free ... they never disappoint.

[@sethkraai9075]

Definitely a little bit shorter than you'd expect, but it's still amazing either way. One of my favorites, for sure. I really like what they did with their studio in this video, and they look very sharp in those suits.

[@Jason-L-Ledford]

I've heard this song before and I always thought that the words were "All mankind" and not "Auld lang syne".

[@kareng1894]

They did a nice job with this. I'm looking forward to the traditional version. Thank you. ^_^

[@droekle2297]

Check out the Butts remix by Home Free and see their different ranges in singing.

[@Gormster8]

Here is a potential reaction for you Patrol Gaming! I was adopted at 3 days of age, and my history was a mystery...DNA testing has revealed strong British, Scottish and Irish roots for me, so I am not a real full blooded Scot. There is a worship band from Scotland that I just love deeply called Celtic Worship. Love the vocals and instrumentation and the strong Scottish accent of their lead singer Steph Macleaod. I know you do some reactions to Sacred music from time to time, seeing if you know these guys. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpzZd6eOpc2gg7c Huge Home Free fan here, and I also listened to the traditional 'Auld Lang Syne' reaction video! Enjoy watching your reactions, and we have a similar deep, deep love for great music!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

🥰 Perfection

[@loririchards2602]

YOU HAVE TO PLAY GAITHER VOCAL BAND - JESUS ON THE MAINLINE (LIVE). I DARE YOU TO NOT FALL OUT OF YOUR CHAIR

[@nekomata5059]

please react to Seventeen Good to me and the choreo that Navinci made for Rihannas diamonds, on the channel 1997 studio. He is the first in the video

[@meeting_meghan]

I'm curious which playlist the traditional auld lang syne video is in for your channel? And I'm sad because your Home Free Christmas Special has been blocked. Not sure if its just in some areas but I'd love to see your reactions to their Christmas songs. Even if it was done a separate videos instead of a special. Anyway, all the best Lyle!

[@HLM101]

I would have loved to hear the other version, but I just can’t find it. Shame...

[@PatrolNation]

[@Yuushiboy]

Damn why you play so many of my favs, beautiful. Im into Scottish and Irish music in general but must say, I prefer the one with bagpipes. Here is another favorit. Amazing Grace with Il Divo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIqbmoiFeZifpLM

[@anniekirby9082]

This version is of course very good, it's Home Free, but it did not make me cry. I like the Scottish version much better!!!

[@calgeekus]

Late to the party here but this popped up in my recommendations today for some reason. Two big criticisms - they make the common lyrical error of singing "days of auld lang syne". There's no "days of" in the line, but at least they don't compound it by then singing "for the sake of..." in the chorus. But the killer for me is pronouncing "syne" as "zyne". It's grating. Should be a soft S.
