Home Free Goes Sea Shanty?! Vocal ANALYSIS of some much needed a cappella!

What better way to spend a Monday than listening through some sea shanties sung by the ridiculously awesome Home Free?! I did not know what to expect, and as always, Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Adam Chance and of course Tim Foust exceeded my expectations. This is PHENOMENAL!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Home Free performing a "Sea Shanty Medley" for the first time.

Jimmy Bates one of their videographers did the editing for this and all of their Quarantine videos. He is so creative and managed to make all the quarantine videos interesting even though they recorded in separate locations. He walked the guys through what he wanted each of them to do, advised them on lighting, then he put it together. I love Jimmy.

[@ruthcurfman7532]

Thanks for that - have always been so impressed with the quarantine videos!

Very well done videos during a pandemic! All I have seen from Home Free videos is interesting and well thought. Gotta give their producer Daren some love as well.

[@milomurphy9178]

This was Chance's idea. He has done a couple sea shanty songs with The Hound and The Fox and thought it would be fun to do a medley. The Hound and The Fox wrote an original Sea Shanty, A Whistling Lad last year with a part specifically for Chance.

[@aaronburdon221]

I'd recommend Hound and Fox to her as well. His voice compliments hers but hers is quite piercing.

calling Leave Her, Johnny a break up sea shanty is actually fairly accurate all things considered. It's a sad song about having to leave their ship. It's normally not done with a tempo this fast but I kinda like it

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Certainly fitting, cause as far i know it is played whenever British Navy retires a ship

My favourite shanty by far . Man I love that song

[@nickvandergragt653]

@@Crybaby-Media The "leave her" shanty is called a pump out song that was used when a trip was over and the crew left the ship The bilges where pumped by hand to dry the ship out before refit. So to say "its time for us to leave her". refers to the crew leaving the ship after a long trip. It was alos done much more slowly than is done here.

Good luck figuring out how to make Adam Rupp's castanet sounds! He never stops blowing my mind with effects like that. and it is hard to imagine anyone else duplicating some of what he does. Meanwhile, the only thing I love better than Home Free's sea shanty video is watching you react to it. You are always a delight to watch, and definitely one of the very best reaction channels on YoutTube.

Love, love, love your reactions. Thank you so much. I know that you'll be blown away and have tons to talk about when you see Home Free's "I Can't Outrun You". Another brainchild of Adam Chance who takes the lead. The video was also his idea and is so original and with the music stunning. Doesn't get reacted to a lot, but those that do are sometimes at a loss for words. Wouldn't happen to you though. But it is a rare melancholy Home Free.

[@1OldBuzzard]

We got to hear this live last night. We got to go to their concert in Orange, TX last night. It was unbelievable that the sounds they can make are so tight. Tim's bass notes literally rattled the place. You could feel the rumble in your chest he got so low. Adam's beatboxing can't be enjoyed to its fullest unless you hear and feel it live. This concert is a homecoming for Tim. He's from these parts. We are in what's called The Golden Triangle and we live in it in the Beaumont part of it. Tim is from Nederland, TX which is just south of us about ten miles or so. We really enjoyed the concert, just wish it had been a few hours longer. LOL I hope you get to see them live if you haven't already. They put on a heck of a party. That's their word instead of a concert. We love your reactions and look forward to seeing them in our feed.

[@dagmar.6954]

How good are these guys? The fun & energy in this is infectious. This was done during quarantine so none of the guys were even together. The editing of this was great & was done in the Tik Tok style. Love all the guys parts, with Tim's rumbling bass underlying it all. And Adam's beatboxing is phenomenal as always including sea swells & castanets. Amazing how he increased the tempo from one song to another.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I kinda got the impression YOU LIKED IT 😂👍👍 This one they sometimes use as their "encore" song in their oncerts.....this one get the audience on their feet and clapping along and they encourage the audience sometimes to sing along....smart choices as it makes that audience delirious - they're going crazy and everyone has a smile on their face.

[@grannymitch6707]

Love watching you giggle at some of the grunts they did (I do the same thing because it’s so perfectly timed)! So glad you checked this one out - it’s one of their most popular, and it’s apparently trending a lot in TikTok dancing shorts. In Leave Her Johnny, the “her” that is being left is most likely the ship. Early lyrics are “Tomorrow you will get your pay/and it’s time for us to leave her.” Adam is a dungeon master in D & D (check out his persona in Brothers, if you haven’t already seen it) and paints miniatures for that hobby (you can actually see part of his collection in one of their quarantine videos), so him having props like sculls and different “pirate” goblets isn’t unheard of for many serious gamers. And, yes, those were castanets he was mimicking. He’s simply amazingly talented (they all are)! Loved your reaction!

[@MrsProudlyCanadian]

I got to see them perform this live last April and it was incredible. If you ever get the opportunity to see them live I highly recommend it, they put on an amazing show

Love this medley!!! I hadn’t heard of sea shanties before Home Free did one. Chance is the one who loves shanties on TikTok and brought the idea to the boys. They were hesitant. We, the fans, love it! You’re right that it’s so creative. And you’re one of only a few who heard the castanets sound from Adam. And I think you’re the only reactor who heard the swell sounds too!

Oh yes, I think its my favourite of theirs also. The arrangement is so complex and special. Well done, Adam Rupp. I also love this medley. I think they are all dressed in sailor costumes (not just pirate)from various eras. Sea shanties were actually work songs meant to help with the heavy lifting & boring work & also as entertainment for all those lonely months at sea. Love your reactions and analysis, mate.

Also on TikTok are several 'duet' videos done with this as well as dance. Most are done with the Wellerman piece since that's the one that started the TikTok trend. Theirs has become really(!) popular.

I just saw them live last weekend and was right against the stage. They did this and my body shook the whole time.😊❤

[@oglschmitt]

Home Sea? Free Shanty? Anyway, this is one of those songs where as soon as it came out I thought "Elizabeth MUST analyze this!!" It took longer than I thought, but man, was it worth the wait!! ❤️👍 Also, now that you've got your pirate groove going, might I suggest checking out the band Alestorm? They are a Scottish band led by Christopher Bowes, the songwriter/mastermind that brought us Gloryhammer. Instead of epic fantasy metal, however, Alestorm play super-catchy "Pirate Metal" with topics like questing for treasure "Over the Seas", fighting Krakens (Leviathan, Death Throes of the Terror Squid), a sailor getting his limbs blown off and replaced with wooden ones (Wooden Leg), then taking real limbs from his assailants to replace the wooden ones only to have the new appendages turn on him (Wooden Leg 2: The Woodening), to getting drunk (most of the rest of their discography, lol). For a reaction, I would suggest Magnetic North or Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship because they have the most vocal variety.

[@Belphegorite]

I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on in the Magnetic North video until I read a comment about it being a parody of a Lady Gaga video. I watched hers, then went back to watch Alestorm and could not stop laughing!

[@hoosierlady3085]

Did you notice how the tempo increased with each medley, and Tim filmed in a boat outside. Very, Very good!

[@jeffreypinnow]

For those who will inevitably wonder. "Leave Her Johnny" is a shanty that was often sung in response to coming back from a long voyage. The lyrics reference how miserable the conditions were on the voyage and call to the sailors, "Johhny" that it is time to leave "her", the ship behind.

[@rebeccacondon1729]

[@malyvo0]

Hello, Elizabeth, thank you for yet another great analysis! Just wanted to add that Adam's "castanets" sound is produced by repeating "t" and "k" consonants very fast. A technique that wind instrument players do often learn to fasten up their staccatos.

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

Re "leave her Johnny": when I could do the folk thing I always thought that it wasn't a breaking-up song but a ship-breaking-up song (time to abandon ship). But apparently this was a traditional song for telling the bosses what for at the end of a journey - there are other verses about awful bosses, pay, food & maintenance.

It's about time Home Free got a bit of love again. As to how many props Adam Rupp has available in his house: well, all of them to be honest. We got a good look into his house during their lockdown videos and his shelves are groaning under the weight of fantasy thing-a-ma-bobs. You have a soul-sibling there Elizabeth. Adam Rupp got to indulge in his fantasy alter ego in Home Free's extremely fun, fun video for Brother. Would strongly urge you to check that one out if you want a good laugh. Oh.. the song Brother is extremely well performed too and gives the opportunity to hear a bit more of Adam Chance's solo vocal.

Leave her, Johnny is a very famous sea shanty from the UK from the 1800s. :) Glad you checked this one out. It really put a smile on my face the first couple of hundred of times I listened to it. Ohhh, who am I kidding, I'm still smiling.

I enjoy watching how you listen to the music with your eyes! I learn so much appreciation from you! 20:03

Tim Foust is appearing on The Bass Gang’s newest song if you want to check out a great new acapella group.

You're making me go back to see all of Adam's cups/tankard on a larger screen. You sure took a long time to get to this one. Glad you finally did.

This is a fun review, really enjoyed it. Thanx for making me listen to songs which I wouldn't have picked by myself but have so much fun with your review.

Glad you did this one, hope you get to their concert in Tucson tonight! 🙂

I hadn't listened to this with better headphones but I was watching you and OMG. Reminds me why I like these guys. I missed a concert due to covid danger. I regret missing it.

I really ejoyed just watching how much fun Elizabeth was having with this one! These guys really harmonize well.

Great fun to watch you find so much delight in this.

Elizabeth seemed to have so much fun in this reaction... she was always giggling!

Another a cappella group I love is Straight No Chaser. They are brilliant and HILARIOUS! You can literally click on any video and it’s amazing. Their original medleys are awesome (movie theme songs is a personal favorite) and 95% of the videos are live, fan recorded from concerts. They encourage it! They also do a 50’s version of Tennessee Whiskey…
