HOME FREE "So Long Dixie" // Audio Engineer & Wifey FIRST-TIME Reaction & Lyric Review

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Tim is from Texas, Austin is from Georgia, Chance is from Alabama ( born in Florida) and Rob and Adam are from Minnesota. This is an absolutely beautiful song. I enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.

[@terimingle8957]

The behind the scenes is hilarious they were all freezing to death! Especially Tim, they shot it in Denver Colorado. There was still snow on the ground in places outside of camera view. Tim states he co wrote this with Austin and Chris did the guitar parts and it was so nice they decided to leave it in.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Tim, Austin, Chris Chatham & Adam Wakefield (of Texas Hill) co-wrote this. The singing, harmonies, Adam's percussion & Chris's guitar playing are incomparable. The message of the song - to my mind - is about leaving behind the "Dixie" of Confederate flags and all that denotes. With Tim being from southeast Texas, Austin from south Georgia & Chance from Alabama - the song is deep.

[@lrfcowper]

I wasn't quite sure what Jeremy's heritage was. I thought he might be biracial, but I suspect a lot of folks would have missed that. This song arose out of a conversation Tim, Austin, and Adam Wakefield of Texas Hill had about the conflicted emotions of being from the South, and all the love of home you have contrasted with the negative feelings for some of the historic and current regressive attitudes, culture, and even laws. They took a lot of flack for this song for being "woke" and blah blah blah. But I think a lot of folks from the South and South-adjacent areas also really resonated with it. Tim did a lecture called Vocal Harmony for Social Harmony a few months ago where he talked about this song and then performed it with Chris Chatham, Grant Hendrickson of the Alley Cats, and Adam Bastien. This song means *a lot* to him.

[@robinmahan8814]

I come from a lot of guitar players. I love acoustic, and I always hear the slides and plucks. I love hearing them with an instrument too.

[@kwein0412]

They filmed this in the Denver, CO area when they were here for their Christmas tour a couple years ago. We had the pleasure of Chris joining them on stage for a few songs.

[@cynthiamiller483]

This song has always made me cry. I never had the choice of where to live next, but it was hard to move further and further away. Our last move was my choice, but I’m the least happy except at church. I live in the South and can understand why so many have left. So I think I understand the song better than I thought. Thank you for delving deeper with the lyrics. Makes me wish it had come out earlier. I love the guitar too. Tomorrow! 🎶 Cyd

[@dagmar.6954]

Another great original song! This is such a beautiful heartfelt melancholy song. Tim's lead was awesome along with all the guy's harmonies & Adam's harmonica sounds were great as usual. I don't mind having an instrument played once in awhile in a song. It was tastefully done in the background without taking over. It added a nice element. Also like the scenery in Colorado. I can't understand why some commenters have been really negative about the lyrics. They are truthful in saying that some of the south's past may not be pleasant but not all of it is. Our background & upbringing still makes us the person we are.

[@wooliebaglady66]

They performed this song last year at our state fair because Chris was there to play guitar. One of my favorites!! Ninja, that comment about having a breath in the right place in a song can really add something, I immediately thought of Adam Lambert singing his version of Cher's Believe at the Kennedy Center Honors. If you haven't watched that video, do check it out. Love watching you on Home Fryday! ❤

[@lisaseverance6785]

This song is so beautiful and has so many potential meanings. From the aspect of Tim, Austin and Chance being from the south, they are proud of their upbringing yet there are negative aspects. For myself, it speaks to moving on from where you grew up and while there are things that you remember fondly, going back is not an option. It was especially poignant for me in accepting that the home I grew up in is no longer a part of my life. While the building is still there, it is no longer MY home. Where I live now is my HOME and where I take some of what I learned from my parents and use it to build my life now. Home Free did get some push back on this song, with people thinking they were turning their back on the south. Some people even took it to mean they were turning their back on country music. I see the song a song of love, pride, longing, sadness and hope in moving forward which everyone experiences in their own unique way.

[@musikbyjh]

Love this comment ;-)

[@nancyholter5646]

exactly.

[@nancyholter5646]

(Thanks to being a Patron, I got to watch the album discussion and have heard Tim and Austin talk about it in various bashes, too). Jeremy has it right. This was written in response to Adam Wakefield saying that he had always wanted to write a song called "So Long Dixie", but no one would write it with him. Tim and Austin took on the challenge, and Chatham formed the fantastic guitar track. It is about having to leave home to follow your dreams - all three 'southern' guys had to do that. And also about how not everything in the past is worth keeping - both personally and with the community. You try to be "better" than your parents, learning from their mistakes. It is both a love song to the Dixie that fostered them in their youth and a sad realization that Dixie could not and cannot fulfill everything for everyone. Tim and Austin are at least closer to home than they were for a while - MN, MA, OK, CA ... all places they had to live/work before HF. I hear the slide all the time, but I just expect it to be there. Maybe because I have heard Chatham and Jefferey so much in more informal settings where it is always present.

[@teckiemom]

The first time I heard this song I immediately thought of my Mom and her story as she left her home in Arkansas just after her high school graduation to go in the Army. Leaving the South and her family was hard, but it was what she needed to find who she was. She has always kept connected to her family & Southern roots, but she does not regret leaving. It was what she needed for her future.

[@nancyholter5646]

@@teckiemom This song really resonated with me. When we got married, we moved halfway across the country to have a job that, at the time, was not a possibility where I grew up in ND. I loved growing up on a farm, but . . .

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very awesome. Tim has so much talent as both a singer and song writer. Austin will be so very missed. They will never be the same without him. I understand why he left, and I am very happy for him and Amberly. I will keep listening to Austin. I am a true Austinite for life! Love your reactions!

[@kmwwrench]

I love hearing the guitar slide and the breathing. Makes it more real. When they did the album introduction, Tim and Austin talked about how this was a song about having to leave home - not matter where home is - to make your way in the world. You never forget where you grew up and what you learned there, but you can't stay back there in the past forever.

[@mjackson780]

Some times Chance will use a guitar in the videos. "Born in the USA" and "Skull and Bones" comes to mind.

[@babyfry4775]

Love this song. I heard it live in concert and Chris was there playing guitar, Austin had a “shaker” and also Adam’s wonderful soulful harmonica. It was so beautiful and the boys sat for this. Tim is from Texas, Chance from Alabama and Austin from Georgia. I think they meant they were sad they had to leave their homes to go up “north” to make music. I don’t think it’s deeper than that but it could be. It’s got a little double entendre.

[@tammymoseley1348]

Hone Fryday continues with an awesome Home Free Original!

[@joyvanderveer2282]

I love how they kept this so clean, but true to the music as it is. The way Chance shines as the bass in the chorus is incredible. "dixie" upbringing was a "southern way of thinking" and social etiquette. It's there way of saying that they were raised well but they have also grown well to become the people they have become...so beautiful. At least that is how it hits me. We all take how we are raised and add to it our experiences in life to create the people we are. I think this was their way of saying "thank you" for raising them well ... a good start in life. They are admitting they had a good childhood, but to have more, they had to leave.

[@musikbyjh]

We love your take on this, Joy!!

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Tim and Chance did a beautiful job on this song. The harmonies are beautiful and Adam did beautiful job on the harmonica sounds. Chris did a great job on the guitar.

[@carolburnett190]

When this came out, listened to it on repeat. It was a verbal expression of a feeling that I had. I’m in the south and wouldn’t change it, but it’s been a struggle sometimes to redefine how the south would shape me.

[@rllangevin3841]

Such a beautiful song with rich, powerful lyrics! #HomeFree never disappoints and I like to think of this original about appreciating where you're from and growing and building upon it in the best way. (I don't consider it disrespectful but about maturing and taking the best of your upbringing and building upon it.)

[@angielofton6372]

I love this song a lot, one of my favorites. Jeremy, I get the fondness of hearing the guitar strings being played. We know that in a studio, usually baby powder is used to dampen that sound, but I love when it’s left in. For a great example of string squeak check out “I’m Carryin’” by Paul McCartney on the Londontown album. It’s a beautiful song and you can actually hear the instrument being played.

[@kathrynhlavac-sb7ny]

Love this song and loved your dialogue analyzing the lyrics.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Love this original.

[@dianel222]

My fav original. Tim’s been open about saying this was about the South. I think as a southern “white” “man”, his values have changed from his upbringing. He’s been vocal about women’s rights and minority suppression. 💜💜💜

[@marylee7467]

Dixie is The South!! The story I heard was Tim and Austin Chris and Chance were talking about how there was lots of negativity in regards to the south. They were changing names of groups and towns. This was the response.

[@michaelsoper3610]

This nickname for the South has its origins in the Mason-Dixon Line, separating North from South.

[@user-bp7vi7is8x]

For me, the most important part of a song IS the lyrics; and there is no instrument more beautiful than the human voice (these human voices anyway). Tim and co-writers show amazing talent as lyricists here. They have what I call "souls of poets speaking their truths." I do, of course, love the music too, since that is what turns poetry into song. Chris' guitar was the perfect instrument to enhance these lyrics without overpowering them. I believe Jeremy did an excellent job interpreting the meaning, as did many of the comments from viewers here. The song is about loving home and all the good aspects of growing up in the South, while acknowledging that some things need/needed to change. Some people were offended by that idea, but strong positive or negative emotional reactions show how powerful this beautiful song really is. Gail L

[@vickiadkins9844]

This is a pretty one.love Chris's guitar!!Tim's a great songwriter

[@dianneantos480]

I almost wore out my CD playing this one over and over again! The guitar and Adam's mouthmonica add a bunch to the melody.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Y'all are ADORABLE together! Yes, I believe that the original intent was about the South, but it can be easily interpreted to be applicable to anyone and anywhere about growing up and leaving home. (BTW Tim grew up in SE TX, Chance in S AL, & Austin in GA) IMO, something that is on the wrong end of a one-way road is something that's in the past and can never be revisited (time is a one-way road). Again, IMO, the song acknowledges the good of the past and the need to learn from the past mistakes. Being on the edge of The South (Oklahoma), this song resonates with me in both the Southern culture and life in general. And the little breathes and guitar squeaks? To me, it makes the music and the musicians more real. So much music sounds non-human because over-production makes it sound sterile.

[@michaellehtonen9020]

I do appreciate when you do the lyric analysis, but also appreciate when you point out things instrumentally/vocally/engineering wise that I may have missed. Sometimes I've listened to songs countless times and missed something you point out. We all have our way of listening and it's nice when things get pointed out that you missed because then you can appreciate that. I like listening to different reactors to catch things I missed. I think as Ninja alluded to lyrics can be a bit subjective. Obviously they have their own meaning to the artist, but, a lot of songs and a lot of lyrics can be sort of adapted from person to person to mean something specific to them. I think that's part of the power of music. Some of my takeaways from the lyrics were acknowledging how he was raised and how it made him who he is, the past is the past and it's made you who you are, but concentrate on the present. For me personally it resonates in leaving the town I grew up in, experiencing other people and other places. But, I think that even if you stay in your hometown, the lyrics can kind of represent growing into your own person. Some people do that more than others. Another thought I had, the small town type of thing that you guys are from (and me) and left, somebody else might love to move there from the hustle and bustle of a big city, so there could be kind of an opposite path for some people. But ultimately, it's about growing, becoming your own person, not getting hung up on the past, but appreciating what it made you. It's very interesting to me because there are a lot of articles about how certain people primarily listen to music and certain people primarily notice lyrics, and some people kind of have a balance. So it's been interesting seeing Ninja pointing out the lyrics and see Jeremy thinking about them. Songs can even change meaning to people based on their current circumstances. For me, one of the really powerful things is feeling the meaning of a song with no lyrics.

[@elliedogify]

This song when originally released was criticized strongly by several reactors, one was really angry that the south was being depicted this way. He of course totally missed the point. We should all learn from history whether good or bad. Southeastern history is certainly checkered but the same can be said for virtually any area of the country. Sometimes pride can be misplaced.

[@nethanelmasters5170]

Back in the sixtys and seventies with the live variety shows we heard the finger slides and breaths a lot more that now. The finger slides were more prominent with casuistic guitars. Not so mush with electric using flat strings.

[@musikbyjh]

Yeah, back then it just would have been way more tedious to take those things out. Technology has made that so easy...which is why its nice to hear now, becuase you forget that it should be there. Also, flat strings? I'm not sure what youre referring to there. There are "Flatwound" strings...but I've never been around anyone who actually uses those. All my strings are roundwound...and you definitely can hear the string slides depending on your settings.

[@rodconner9079]

Probably one of my top top #1s : ) By these guys! It's so so damn good. I want to type-out a whole thought/take on it ... but, sadly - I'm limited (hmmm). Another one by these guys that would be top of the charts on radio -- (so) if the masses were to get it. Chatham is nearly a soloist here -- stand-a-lone ... intentional in blending right in and adds to; another very rare occurrence (not just HF with this configuration). EPIC really. So many things can be taken from the song (words) and they deliver 'em in such an understanding way --- gives it feel, gives it life. Phenomenal !!!! Be Safe

I tend to watch a new video at least half a dozen times before I catch all the different bits. Once through for song, once for video, then more so I can watch each guy individually too. For the video they premiered today I watched more like a dozen, just excited for Bastien.

[@glowormrdr6183]

In a stage show, Tim introduced this (I think it was this one) by saying, yes, there's guitar, so a cappella purists just (rude phrase here). He stands up for himself and others. You'll see it that in "Everybody Walkin' This Land", and a few other songs that set off "anti-woke" types. Home Free has sided with country artists like The Chicks (used to be The Dixie Chicks), and Maren Morris, who suffered nasty backlash for left-wing tendencies. "So Long Dixie" is about turning their backs on the negative side of Southern and country music culture.

Remember when Chance took over from Chris? A lot of people, including reactors, took a long time to warm to his very distinctive vocals. I love his voice. He's kind of introverted with a very dry sense of humour and it took folks a while to get used to his type of energy. Now, people actively look forward to hearing him take a lead in a song. I don't believe Bastien will be any different.

[@HannahSBax]

@@pennymaple1817 I loved Chance instantly. No offence to Chris, but Chance is an upgrade from Cris. And I just don't really like Bastiens voice, it's just a matter of taste.

[@bessiecomer8221]

LOL, best laugh of the day! Regarding the lyrics...Tim, Austin and Chance grew up in the deep south. Dixie refers more to the bad things that went on in the South. I think the song acknowledges that, but says it's in the past. We're not like that. (The Dixie Chicks dropped "Dixie" from their name for a reason.)

[@wolfe6220]

Ger-maican!!! Love that! I kind of understand. Ive lived in Texas my whole life.

I visited a friend there 30 years ago and fell in love with the North California area. I would love to live there, especially since my old friend may not live too much longer, but I'm stuck her for the next few years .

[@musikbyjh]

Yeah, it's really unfortunate. My mom lives in Texas, and I've had a few "not friendly" situations happen for zero reason...so that adds to the already tarnished view I have of having to navigate if I'd be accepted. Now, dont get me wrong...my life is FAR more inclusive and good than it's ever been racially negative...but I absolutely have dealt with a number of incidents regarding my race. And it's just like the cliche...a few bad apples can spoil the bunch. And that's what seems to have happened. I've met SO many absolutely amazing and wonderful people in the south. NorCal is absolutely stunning. Califonrina is just too expensive...otherwise, that's where we'd probably be. San Diego is my favorite place I've ever lived.

Somebody told me I was too old once to do anything in music. But maybe I’m not. Just maybe not. We will see. I love your take on this song. I think this is coming from Tim’s heart. He wrote it and, in my mind, it seems like he really wanted it to sound a certain way and reflect his feelings about leaving the "South" mentality behind. Maybe not, but that's what I get from it. It’s Colorado btw (I think anyway).

So it's never too late my friend. You just gotta find the right person to give you a chance, and then you're in.

[@danivansuperstar]

Thanks for saying all that. It really means probably more than you think. I have another friend that didn't really start until his 30s, and he has a great full-time career gigging in Annapolis and on the Eastern Shore of MD. I started having kids in my 30s, so that kind of took precedence. Now that I'm older, I'm ready to follow a dream, but I'm also tired lol. I still think there might be a place for me and perhaps somewhere for me to offer some of my talents. Anyway, love you guys and your positive energy. It makes my day better when I watch your stuff and gives me hope in the end. And, well, that's just everything, isn't it? Can't wait for your HF reaction Friday on the Bonnie Raitt song, who is another artist who "made it" later in life.
