I agree that it is the best version ever.. Thanks for your reactions.. I always appreciate what you have to say, especially about Home Free.

[@chrismorin1318]

I grew up never going to church. And to this day, I'm not a fan of organized religion. I am, however, a spiritual person. More of a "It's better to be sitting on a riverbank fishing and thinking of God, than to be sitting in church and thinking about fishing." I actually spoke to a pastor about my personal relationship with God and he told me that each person has their own way of communicating with God and that you don't need to be within the walls of a building for it to be right for you. That being said, I enjoy many hymns and I often come to this video to calm my anxiety when life gets too hectic for my mind to process. This version is a balm to my soul. Home Free has a song that covers whatever ails me! We're very fortunate to have them, in my opinion. Great reaction! Keep them coming!

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

I believe it was filmed in the Austrian Alps. This is my absolute favorite rendition of this hymn. Home Free is magical, and this was stunning! Thank you for your reaction!

[@mikebradshaw9113]

This was shot useing a drone and it's beautiful song that moves the soul in every way but I am a christen and I love this video

[@brendasorenson6186]

I checked Wikipedia, and this hymn has been (documented) recorded over 1700 times, including by Elvis. It was first sang in Sweden in 1888. So, there's no "original" version to hear. This is my absolute favorite version of the hymn. It's very popular with the Home Fries and HF, as Home Free sang it at their concert I attended last month. Good reaction!

[@tassilo5949]

The video was shot in the Austrian Alps. The guys from Home Free have the richest harmonies I've ever heard in a band. This song is one of the few where Adam the beatboxer sings. These guys are phenomenal.

[@loriloy7097]

Just from the intro of this reaction, I said just you watch This is my Church Home Free is awesome and so are you!

[@billrice3250]

The final note Austin sang was a C5 - the C above middle C on a piano - high C for tenors..

[@stanrock2225]

Amazing.

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

I couldn't agree with you more. Gets me every time too.

[@beverlyandkissie8789]

This one of my most loved versions of this hymn. ❤

[@dwanemarsh4378]

The Austria Alps...what a hell of a background! And, a fitting song to be sung there! HF always surprises and amazes.

[@sherryarflin726]

This is absolutely beautiful. Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is in Austria.

[@marlahudgins7038]

This was beautiful

[@lindajohnson6514]

I love the Song they put in it called " it is Well" also

[@minneyruth]

❤🔥

[@roniboyd613]

I really enjoy your reactions, thank you💖

[@sheldonsenft6513]

It is incredible how the Holy Spirit washes over me each and every time I listen to this song. That tingling feeling you experienced is the work of our great and amazing God - oh God, how great you are!

[@staceysmith8173]

Chance and Tim doing a double bass drop for that ending song. Love it!!!!

[@johnkidwell3932]

Up until now, my favorite cover of How Great Thou Art has been by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Understand, I am a Mormon, and I love the choir! Home Free takes this song to a higher level...

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I grew up a Southern Baptist and I have been familiar with this hymn all my life....the harmonies they achieve here are outrageously good.

[@louisetemples7011]

Hey guy's! Thanks for this Amazing video! It truly is the most beautiful performance I've ever heard! It is my favorite version ever! This was done in the Alps of Austria while the guy's were on their European tour before Covid lockdown. Appreciate you!

[@donnastupka7507]

How great they are!! Love Homefree ! Thanks for a great reaction! 😇😇😇

[@annehffry3284]

This is the most beautiful version of this that I’ve ever heard. And even though I’ve listened to it many times and heard them sing it live several times, I still got chills. I think it’s the beauty of the arrangement and their voices that make it so special.

[@annelieshoornik]

Thanks for another great reaction :-)

[@MonicaVennell]

Love your reaction. You both lift my spirits. This is one of my favourite songs that HF does. The double bass end note with Tim and Chance sounds like a church organ to me. Thank you for doing this.

[@judydavis7993]

My great grandmother came from this area (Alps) and came to America in the late 1800s. They settled in the Jackson Hole , Wyoming area and she always said the Tetons reminded her of the Alps. Wasn't this the most beautiful rendition of this song you've ever heard? Brings a tear or two. The bass does rattle your bones. Thanks again for your reaction. ⛰🏔⛰🏔

[@aprilebert157]

I got to hear this live at their concert on 12/5/21 (my first concert) and it was just as amazing in person. I was in tears. This is one of their most amazing songs. Love watching your reactions!

[@carolchatham7766]

Hey guys do MY CHURCH by HF think you will love ❤

[@sallyread7032]

This is the only version of this song that I love. I'm 68 almost 69, sung this song since I was small, this is my favorite. Take a listen to their cover of "Blue Ain't Your Color" & "When A Man Love's A Woman". They will blow you away. Also welcome to the"rabbit hole" of Home Free. Enjoy!!!

[@hellefur6631]

This place is Kemater Alm, Southwest off Innsbruck in Austria. They drove there, and hiked up the slopes to where they shoot the video, and it was a challenge to get there 😉 Those five part harmonies are just are a treat for the ears 🥰 And to ad it on, Adam's beautiful tenor solo ❤ Three part tenor at the end, and then Tim & Chance blast in with theire bass', it's just to die for. You don't have to be an devoted christian, to enjoy sutch good singing, I'm a true blood athiest, but just love theire rendition on this song. Did you noticed the "staireway to heaven" in the arrangementet? Starting with the bass, then tenor and last high tenor.

[@karinfichtner7479]

I can't listen to this without tears. I am glad you liked it.

[@janethoffman4197]

Love this! Beautiful scenery, beautiful song, beautiful harmonies!

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

They add into this PHENOMENAL "How Great Thou Art" .... a section of "It Is Well With My Heart" .... it is so well conceived and perfectly inject5ed into an already powerful Christian Tribute to the LORD .... and YES, You Can Say It - How Great They are !!! jj

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

It is well with my soul - whoops then, GB jj

[@jamiemitchell8281]

I’m really liking your channel! Also like having some UK Homefries out there too! Your content is so entertaining, look forward to seeing more. Thanks you guys!

[@ryanje8147]

"Everybody Walkin' This Land" is an awesome song and video. Be sure to listen to Tim's message at the end.

[@lindacantu9885]

My favorite, great reaction thanks for sharing.

[@hancock1475]

I agree, best version I have ever heard also.

[@tomhansen4576]

Agreed. This song was written in the early 50s as a church hymn in a choir format, not as a song for professional recording. It also incorporated a portion of the 1880's church hymn, It Is Well, which was the part sung by Adam. Although many professional Christian singers have recorded this song, this is the best version of this song I have ever heard. The rich harmonies, and intricate layering of HF's arrangement is spectacular.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Not exactly....from Wikipedia... ""How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish traditional melody and a poem written by Carl Boberg (1859-1940) in Mönsterås, Sweden, in 1885."

[@tomhansen4576]

@@miamidolphinsfan True. But, the current popularized English version wasn't done until the 1950s.

[@roberthudson1959]

The standard version of "How Great Thou Art" does not include the snippet of "It Is Well."

[@sheliaspringer7389]

HOME FREE does the best version of this that I have ever heard! It was filmed in the Austrian Alps! BEAUTIFUL, MAJESTIC, MAGNIGICIENT! THEY ARE AWESOME!!! ADAM Rupp sings on this one!! He has a beautiful voice. EACH MEMBER has a great voice! GOD SENT

[@vickiherrman7623]

This song is the one with which I introduce others to HOME FREE. It is a showcase of their skills and sound. Thanks for the reviews across the pond

[@cheryljohnson733]

This is heavenly

[@joanwharff6483]

They were attending an a cappella festival in Austria. They flew over this valley &, called their guys here in the U.S…….said can you get yourselves over there, they said yes….& there it is ❤️. It’s in the Austrian Alps….so beautiful ‼️❤️‼️💥 This is my absolute favorite version I’ve Ever heard. You’d think it was a whole choir singing ‼️

[@carinalindberg7377]

Just slight correction; It was a country festival, not an acapella festival.

[@lisaseverance6785]

Adam Rupp has a lovely tenor voice somewhere between Rob's voice and Austin's. He doesn't sing often as he does not have the voice training the other guys have but as you heard, his voice is really lovely. I think you guys would love their Fishin in the Dark/Boondocks mashup. It is older, done when Adam Rupp's brother, Chris was still in the group. That one or "Hillbilly Bone" Both have definite country feel and are sure to make you smile.

[@maffetsandhu8139]

Thank you for your very good reaction to these incredible singers 👍

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

This hymn is more than 70 years old and hundreds of versions

[@Mikki44]

New sub. Here for the Home Free.

[@cenewton3221]

As I understand it, they were in the Swiss Alps for this.

[@charleneclaassen]

Thank you for doing this one. Second HF video I ever watched (on repeat for 30 minutes). Still love it many listens later. Adam's beautiful tenor you also hear in Helplessly Hoping. His added tenor is what made the harmonies in Brothers In Arms so rich.

[@cavamom]

The best version if this song I’ve ever heard. It takes your breath away.

[@intermenater]

Fact. Adam Rupp was found on Groom Lake in 1961.

[@kataa.]

Adam has an ever longer singing part in My country 'tis of thee. Highly recommend that one too 😊

[@staceysmith8173]

This is around the place where The Sound Of Music was recorded at least this is what I have read

[@dagmar.6954]

I think this is one of the best versions of this song. Tim's bass really carries the song. I just found Home Free last year & love these 5 talented guys. And the scenery is awesome filmed in the beautiful Austrian Alps (my dad comes from that area).

[@pennygarrity386]

Thanks for the great reaction guys and thanks for noticing and commenting on Adam actually singing. Most reactors don't seem to notice him unless he's beatboxing. We all know his beatboxing his PHENOMENAL BUT he also has a beautiful voice!!!

[@ferrisdonoso4556]

Feels like a pipe organ at the end. So moving.

[@carolchatham7766]

Just gorgeous 😍

[@carinalindberg7377]

So this was filmed in the Austrian Alps the second time they came to Europe and they were coming to do one show only during a country festival and it's their only music video filmed in Europe to date. It was in September, 2016. The "original" of this hymn would be in Swedish as it's a Swedish hymn. Lyrics are based on a poem written by Carl Boberg after experiencing a sudden thunderstorm and the melody is originally a traditional Swedish melody. It is the most known and most recorded hymn worldwide. There are a few versions in English with this being by far the most popular one. Thanks for the reaction, guys! 🙏🥰

[@yvonneb5481]

From what I've heard this was a couple of years ago when Home Free was on their European tour. The were flying over this area, the Alps, when someone said that looked like a great place to do a video. The arrangements were made and they had to helicopter in and there you have it.

[@marciaramirez3791]

Lovely reactions, thank you. Home Free has a video they made when they filmed this song. It's well worth watching to get background on how and why they recorded it. I've heard dozens of versions by numerous choirs as well as single artists and Home Free's rendition is by far the best. It sends chills over me and brings me to tears every time I hear their version.

[@sues3218]

Adam Rupp sings also in "Helplessly Hoping".

[@debbienorris7307]

You guys are fun to listen to! Keep the HF reactions coming!!

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

This is just the most beautiful vocal harmonies ever....perfection at it's finest!

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Once again thank you for the great reaction, you both are funny and give your best and honest opinions to the reactions. Always a smiling. Keep those HOME FREE songs coming

[@teresacartwright5406]

Thank you again for playing such amazing videos & for your commentaries. You mentioned in a previous video that you hadn't heard a solo by the high tenor (Austin Brown) - if you haven't already done so, watch their cover of "When A Man Loves a Woman". To hear a sample of Tim Foust's range (the bass) watch the video of "Snow Globe" (which Tim Foust wrote).

[@calliec7493]

Home Free has a behind-the-scenes series on some of their videos. There is one on this specific video which shows even more of the Austrian scenery.

[@SBQDawn]

So Glad you got to Hear this one, Home Free taking us to Church without being preachy about it. Just allowing the listener to think on it and truly feel it. It was filmed in the Alps, right before their European tour was cut short. Adam Rupp is a Tenor, he doesn't have the formal training the rest have had but the talent was there to be developed. He say's he learned with the sing pro app.

[@shilohauraable]

There's a Behind the Scenes video of them filming this. Their comments while carrying all of their equipment up the steep slope are really funny! 😂

[@samlevy8741]

When they drop in the bass in the final chord its like listening to a church pipe organ

[@deidres100]

He (Adam) was also singing in Brothers in Arms

[@lisastevens682]

"How Great Thou Art" and "Beautiful Savior" were my grandmother's favorite hymns. They were written and composed by Martin Luther in the early 15oo's. We were raised in the Lutheran Church. I'm guessing other protestant churches sang these hymns, but not Catholic?

[@susansundaram6737]

This video was my introduction to listening to Home Free. I've read that they were in Europe (at a music festival?) and decided this would be a fitting setting for "How Great Thou Art". Totally agree. They arranged for drone footage at this location and after seeing and hearing this I became a Home Fry. Thanks so much for reacting to this wonderful rendition of the song. Take care and stay well. Glad to have found your channel.

[@babyfry4775]

Yes, I think it’s the best version I’ve heard too. I don’t know that there’s an original version since it’s old and is usually sung in church. You are closer to those mountains than we are. It’s the Austrian Alps filmed when they were touring there. They picked a beautiful place to film it for sure. Home Free is known for terrific harmonies and they are just fantastic. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, In the Blood, Country Roads. Good reaction boys!

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This was filmed in the Austrian Alps, while they were doing a festival. Adam Rupp has a voice very similar to Rob's. At least that is what his brother Chris says. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.

[@suehall6632]

This was filmed in the Austrin Alps

[@terrispurling4036]

My favorite version of this beautiful hymn! There is a “behind the scenes” video of this shoot. Just look up Home Free - From the Vault - Episode 8. It is a lot of fun. Great reaction, guys! Loving your channel.

[@paulomontero12]

Good on you to be a good christian, we need more of the younger chaps to be more of the same.

[@joywright8794]

As far as I know Adam Rupp's solo in the transition phrase from "It is Well with My Soul" is the only solo he has performed. If you are talking about the Sea Shanty performance you might be referring to the castanets in Santiana. He has a tenor voice and sings harmony in performances where the beat boxing isn't required like "Helplessly Hoping" and "Brothers in Arms". If you haven't reacted to "Helplessly Hoping" (I tried to find your reaction, but it didn't turn up) it would be a gem, the harmonies are off the charts beautiful. If you have a cathedral style church with stone arches and high ceilings this hymn will echo down around you like a gentle spring rain, soothing and uplifting at the same time.

[@AndieO]

Guys... check out Helplessly Hoping for another amazing song that is just their voices.. no beatbox.

[@brendagrothier967]

The second song I heard them sing after Man of Constant Sorrow.

[@donnaflynn9615]

You should listen to Home Free covering Ed Sheeran’s Castle on the Hill next.

[@roberthudson1959]

Beatboxer Adam Rupp has a university degree in trumpet performance, and plays several other instruments as well. He sings on songs like this one where beatboxing/vocal percussion would be inappropriate. He doesn't sing lead very often for the same reason that the other guys don't beatbox: why choose the second-best option?

[@barrywood7322]

Your next reaction should be their cover of Go Rest High On That Mountain

[@karenrudderham4900]

Am not at all religious but love this. Nana Karen UK

[@blairkimberlin3447]

IMO the most reverent version of this song. they are all very patriotic, spiritual and inclusive in their lives. they have all said they knew they had "made it" when they were boycotted by Westboro Baptist Church. austin's father sang in a travelling gospel quartet so he was raised singing church music

[@intermenater]

Austria.

[@carolyngregory9092]

It's wonderful how popular groups are doing music like this. Contemporary Christian music is awesome.

[@sheliaspringer7389]

ELVIS won a GRAMMY for this song, several GRAMMIES, I THINK!

[@marygoodwin2030]

I thing you would enjoy their song "Everybody Walkin' this Land." And be sure to watch past where the song ends . Here is the link for the official video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2arYpxofKere8U

[@roniboyd613]

I agree-I love this song!

[@rebeccabee4718]

Yes!

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Adam usually sings on religious songs. He’s a tenor

[@cheryljohnson733]

I think it was filmed. In Austria

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

It was written in 1885. There's not really an original version to listen to. I keep seeing comments on all the reaction videos for this song saying that it was filmed in the Austrian Alps. But I am fairly sure I heard one of them say in an interview that it was the Swiss Alps and that is what comes up when you Google it. Either way, though, the Alps, not in the USA or New Zealand.

[@23cuteasabug]

I love Home Free, they’ve done several hymns and I love that about them. They’ve got a funny side too- If you want to see their personalities and their humor watch the butts remix, or all about that Bass by Meghan Trainor their cover. They also have one that’s pretty funny called Hillbilly Bone which is another one of my favorites. They teamed up with the United States Air Force band and Lee Greenwood to do “I’m Proud to be an American” and it’s fantastic. They also did Elvira with The Oak Ridge boys which is also really good. And if you want to good cry watch Go Rest High on that Mountain.

[@timothymyers6827]

Austria

[@nanalen60]

I have no belief in religion. As a non religious person, I think these particular people perform a beautiful version of a song that's been done to death.

[@CGholl]

Austria, fellas. Austria.

[@randallducote8110]

If you wan't to hear them sing in a church look up "O Holy Night".

[@paulamonaghan3280]

Please review their "Butts Remix". It is funny, covers other types of songs, and is so well done. Every reactor has been surprised when they view it.

[@dotwyness4110]

A suggestion to go your list, 'Go Rest High On That Mountain' but the church sessions I think is the better version.

[@margaretervin8895]

Carrie Underwood does this with Vince Gill. She is just amazing.
