HOME FREE "Remember My Name" // Audio Engineer & Wifey React

[@annehffry3284]

I think it’s cool that when the song was first written, the lyric was, “will you remember my name”, and Austin decided to change it to “. . . you will remember my name.” It makes the song.

[@nancyholter5646]

It really does. It goes from a question to a bold statement.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Austin's braids, the smashed baseball .. wonderful vocals ... great original!

[@nancyholter5646]

What is never mentioned in reactions to this song is how nearly every line in the first two verses had direct references to songs by Luke and Garth in the lyrics, and then there was the final tribute to Willie - and I'm not talking about Austin's Willie braids. And the years weren't just plucked out of thin air. 2009, Luke Bryant was still a small name, Dec 1989 was Garth's first big hit, and Willie's theme album "Red Headed Stranger" album was released in 1975. His album "Always on My Mind" was released in 1982.

I think Austin was born with so many songs to write! Love all the country music references in this song. Oh, the slap to radio for not carrying their music!

[@MyLorissa]

I think Austin's braids were a homage to Willie Nelson! Loved your reactions! SO happy you got to see them live & interview them!

[@musikbyjh]

Wow- great observation, we didn't think this at first but def likely!!!

[@suebee4843]

Are they a band? Yes, a vocal band. 😃

[@musikbyjh]

Right?!

[@johnschroeder3591]

Definitely an Adam Rupp showcase, plus lots of harmony.

[@lrfcowper]

Adam Rupp pretty much arranges the drums on his own, records them at home, and processes them, then sends them to Darren. He and Darren might talk and Darren say, "I think we need a little something here," or "I think X would be great here," but it's 95+% Adam doing the drum arrangements.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Happy Home Friday! Love u J. and J.!!!!

[@brendasorenson6186]

Y'all are driving us crazy with all your vlog hints! 😂 And it would great to see an interview with Darren Rust! I can just see Jeremy geeking out big time!

[@musikbyjh]

Sorry to be a tease!! I swear we are really racing to get it done and keep the channel pumping out daily vids. We are imminently publishing!!

[@tinah8833]

This was a fun one and props to Austin for writing this. Adam Chance is really an anazing guy and seems like fun. Adam Rupp is phenomenal here.

[@terrichristenson432]

Thanks so much for your reaction to Austins great song !! This has become one of my top Home Free songs, its just so catchy and the lyrics are so good !! I am absolutely bummed by the news that Austin is leaving the group, their sound will change, there is no doubt.

[@pastelcarnations]

Love the song, they all sounded great, but yes, Adam's drums and sounds are out of this world, he is just so good

[@babyfry4775]

Adam was outstanding. Want to hear all about the concert. This is a fun one. Austin’s braids a little tribute to Willie Nelson and you got the boy right as a young Babe Ruth. Good one J & J! 😍😄

[@sharonmortimer3843]

I love the reference to all of the other Country Musicians. Austin always writes such beautiful songs for sure. Loved your reactions to this song.

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you very much, Sharon!!

[@cmitchell7347]

The release of this song and video just happened to coincide with the Little League World Series Championship. The small LA community of El Segundo (perhaps you're familiar with it) won! And as a result, made a name for themselves! Almost to a person, reactors mention Adam's performance in this. He definitely gave it his all...and then some. 😊

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

One of their best songs. Loved Adam's drums. 🥁❤

[@rllangevin3841]

Another great song! #HomeFree never disappoints! Thanks J&J!

[@kennethbryson7751]

Yeeeeeeeeeees, great song, I love the way they merged the story of the baseball players with some music icons in the country music world, named several in the song including Willie there at the end! Great job writing as well! And I agree, Adam Rupp just went off on this one. Again, low bass Kenneth saying great job!

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you very much, LBK!!! ❤️

[@SweetCarolineCDN]

Do they not just make you forget that they’re a VOCAL band???? There are times STILL that I sit in awe of their immense talent. Even more so after seeing them live. So glad you both got to experience that. Xo

[@JoanN63]

I love this song!! ....I love the video!! ....... I love Home Free! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Every day, every hour I always remember their name! Their name is etched in my brain!

[@anitawright7169]

Austin is not only an awesome singer but an awesome song writer. Love Adam's percussion. Love Austin's Willy Nelson braids! Harmonies were flawless as usual. Love your reactions! ♥

[@user-qp8jh9vl7v]

Love the word play in this one. Adam really went nuts and everyone sounded great! Thanks for the Home Free reactions.

[@JacquelineBastick]

Love the hat! Got the can't hardlys waiting for the vlog. Danielle says hi!

[@lisaseverance6785]

Love this song but I am more so impressed at how you are able to suppress your desire to spill everything from your trip and concert!!! I dare say it sounds as if you enjoyed the trip, the meet ups and the concert.😆 All around a great time. After seeing all those amazing photos, I will patiently wait for you let us see the rest! 🤔😅 LOL

[@vinnieblair8576]

ONE FOR THE ALGORITHM. CHEERS!!

[@minneyruth]

Love this 🥰🥰

[@judydavis7993]

This is one of my favorite originals that HomeFree does . ⚾️ Adam's beatboxing and drums make this one shine, but Austin's vocals are amazing to me. Yes, I love the references to the oldies songs and performers.. 🎉 I'm so excited to say I just received the backstage vip tickets for my birthday to their concert in September. I just hope I don't fan girl out so much that I might not be able to talk or they might have to call out security . 😅 😅 either way, we'll see how it goes. All I know is that it feels like a million years until Sept. Thanks for your HomeFree Fridays. I always look forward to them.❤🥰

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

(Long message. Sorry.) Two things that i love about you two: I love your addictive personalities. You are joyful but also talk like real people rather than a poorly-acted TV role And I really like is how engaging you are with your audience. You reply to KZbin comments, not just Patreon posts, for instance. I made a comment about Boing a month ago and Jillian shared an experience rather than a short "Yea, it sucks." like many other reactors would do. Those same reactors will ask viewers to answer questions (e.g. "What are their names?") then never knowledge that they even read the comments. Thank you for all of the great Home Free reactions!

[@musikbyjh]

Hey @CaptainMarvelsSon!!! First, please never apologies for long comments, especially these great ones!!! Thank you so much for the love - honestly this makes my (day). Building a supportive and friendly network / community is priority for us. It's just who we are, and we are very grateful you enjoy what you see!!! Look forward to seeing you back soon!! ❤️🥷🏻✌🏽

[@richcunningham5467]

Just call him the "RUPPINATOR".....SO DANG GOOD!!!! You are, have been, and will ALWAYS be my fav reactor channel for the HF BOYZ!!!! Jer - I have a crazy, goofy, yet lovable son in law that reminds me of you (I have to love him - he loves my baby daughter) and you Miss Jill (aka Ninja) - you would fit right in with all my sweet daughters and Daughter-in laws - what a crazy clan that would be - never a dull moment for sure. You two are the best! - don't ever change a thing - just be yourselves... RichieC

[@musikbyjh]

Aww, RichieC!!! This comment made my eyes well up with happy tears. THANK YOU!!! We'd be the lucky ones to meet your beautiful family one day. Sounds like we'd have a HECK of a good time!!! Much love, always!! ❤️🥷🏻 (Jillian)

[@cynthiamiller483]

Thanks for this one today, Leandra! It's one of my favorites to watch. I like the nostalgia of the song, but the modern they brought to it is so goooooood!!! This has been a pleasurable afternoon for me. Now it's time to get down to work...lawn mowing! I hope everyone has a great weekend. Happy Home 🍟day 🎶 Cyd

[@kmwwrench]

A fun one. Adore Adam's drums and Austin's Willie Nelson braids.

[@rebeccarose7405]

So much fun and perfect for a lovely HomeFryday! The drums were amazing, as always, and I can’t wait for all the coming stuff! ❤️🎶

[@cjsjr249]

Woot woot! I knew you'd like Adam in this one!! Great reaction guys! 😅🥁👽

[@musikbyjh]

Yes! Thank you, sweet Leandra!!!! We love your suggestions and appreciate all the love. Truly. ❤️

[@audreyjohnson4599]

Very good. You picked up on the Babe Ruth reference.

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

This is good song. Austin a great job on the song and Tim my favorite bass. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@danivansuperstar]

Loved your intro, guys! So funny. Love Adam in this one and Austin's Willie Nelson hair! This one should have been on the radio. So many nods to famous country singers, easy to listen to, just totally sounded like a radio song. "Hey, Mr. DJ, I gotta bone to pick with you."

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for your reaction. What another great original song! Love the nostalgic feel of this song & the video. They mention a few of the country greats in this song. Also think it is a nod to the great baseball legend Babe Ruth. Austin sings about Willie (Nelson) at one point. Think his braids are an homage to Willie. Love Tim's lower tone in the verse he sings. And Adam is awesome as usual. These guys are so talented & in a league by themselves.

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Home Free they are my favorite group. Austin is a great high tenor and a great song writer. Tim is a great song writer to and a great bass singer. I love Home Free.

[@KittyNakajima27]

Love when Jillian gets so excited haha

[@musikbyjh]

Aww Kitty, thank you!!! 😊

[@beckiramsey9561]

So awesome!! And I will miss those BG parts from Austin in the future, his notes coming up higher above with the background coming through! Always love that!!❤❤🔥 Thanks you two!!❤❤

[@musikbyjh]

We know what you mean, Becki!!! Always a pleasure to chat with you friend! ❤️🥷

[@Laura_Martin42]

I just can't wait to see the vlog!! I get to go see them Sunday for the first time and am sooo excited!! I'm so glad y'all got to go!

[@williemcd]

Ya really got me hanging! I'm so envious of your meeting with the group. Sure am looking forward to the vlog and subsequent vids....Wondering about the biggest elephant in the room and any insight you may have garnered.....Austin's replacement effort...I hope ya got into that!

[@carolburnett190]

I’m not a country music fan by any stretch, but it’s super cool how Austin managed to get so many country songs and artists worked into the lyrics. It’s rare for Austin to not be peppy! The behind the scenes videos show more of the guys’ personalities. You need to watch those even if it’s just for your own fun!

[@user-tz3nc6bs3t]

Another goodie….

[@tammymoseley1348]

Sorry I'm late on this video. I just needed to spread out my smiles this weekend. Thanks Jeremy and Jillian.

[@sondrakrastins9216]

Y'all were so gracious and so much fun to have lunch with. I'm glad you got to interview Home Free and spend some time backstage with them. Can't wait for the vlog (will it be on Instagram, Facebook or KZbin)???

[@musikbyjh]

There's our gal Sondra!! Hopefully you received our thank you email?! We loved meeting you and are so thankful for the suggestions and kindness you shared. You are a beaming light of sunshine!! And we hope your kids loved the pics of us "hijacking" you at lunch!! The vlog will be posted on KZbin, and we'll advertise all over social media...don't you worry, we won't let you miss it!! Also, our Patreon members will receive bonus, unseen footage from the concert we couldn't include in the vlog for copyright. BIG hugs, sweet friend!! ❤️🥷

[@uosuaq]

"I know *who* it was, I don't know *what* it was!" I believe they actually have a word for it on Adam's home planet. It's hard for humans to vocalize, though, like much of what comes out of his mouth.

[@Indigo_moon]

Actually Adam does most of the production on his percussion at home himself. Of course Darren does too, but probably not as much as you think. Adam separates each sound and refines it and I'm sure other stuff. There's a part in a HF video that shows him explaining what he does. It's been a few years since I've watched it, so I don't remember the details. But I'm pretty sure Chris got a degree in music production, or whatever they call it, and I'm sure Adam probably learned from watching him produce Home Free's songs for so many years, before Darren came along. I imagine that's actually how he started. So Chris didn't have to do it. Because Chris did everything from procuction, managing, marketing etc. Before they could afford to hire people. Thanks for the video! Can't wait to see the vlog.

[@MN_Home_Fry]

Always great guys! Since I didn't make Memphis, when you come to MN to meet with Darren I'll take you out of the o a lunch spot of your choice. We could even pick one that was used in a HF video. REALLY looking forward to the vlogs from the show and meet up. I hope Jillian didn't get too bummed by Tim's shots. Just remember, he goes after everybody and it isn't humor unless somebody gets hurt (a little). All tbe best guys!

[@debbieblake2708]

It was so nice meeting you both! Glad you had a great time!!!

[@musikbyjh]

Debbie!! We loved meeting you and thank you again for coming to meet us 🥷🥰❤️

[@sarahberke7194]

Did anyone know who Austin was talking about the baseball player was Babe Ruth 😊❤

[@connieharmon2408]

❤❤❤

[@teresacartwright5406]

Austin is such a good lyricist & of course, the harmonies & beatboxing are terrific.! I love the references in this to so many legends, including Babe Ruth (the boys playing baseball) & Austin's braids are a nod to Willie Nelson . If you haven't seen his originals "If I Met You Now", "Real Talk" & "Off the Grid" among them (on his channel), they're sooo good.

[@nanadeborah8717]

The video was a little Babe Ruth,pointing out where his homerun would be. Thanks Jillian and Jeremy. Tim is always more reserved in person than his stage persona. Adam is an introvert also,but can really get talking when he is discussing his craft. Adam and Rob and me live by Darren. Actually,at one time, I lived for 9 years probably less than a mile away from Rob. It was before I knew about Home Free. I would listen to concerts from the Zoo,not knowing who was playing. Probably why Rob looked familiar to me. I'm sure I saw him around. Let me know when you come to Minnesota! We can get together!!

[@musikbyjh]

Wow, small world!! And will do, we'd love to meet you Nana Deborah!! ❤️🥷

[@williemcd]

I'm with you regarding Tim....I got the same read during the viewing of the Sing Off...When one of the judges commented on Tim being featured versus background base....Tim's smile was one of humility and perhaps embarrassment at being showcased in the comment...

[@MelindaBrown-yz5jc]

❤️❤️

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Adam Rupp is a best beatboxer.

[@musikbyjh]

100% agree!!

[@DeansMayhem]

Amazing song all around, but Mr. Rupp's beat boxing is over the top!

[@scottdarden3091]

I don't think either one of you listened to the words this time.😊

I think you are right 🙄
