HOME FREE What's Left Of My Heart | Vocal Coach Reacts (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@dangerus27]

Wow. Tim's a great wordsmith, too! "my hopes, my dreams and my scars", " if you'll take pieces n parts", "I'm a fixer upper""......This is great stuff.

[@ondenacaraway1309]

This geniusly written, Tim Foust song should be on everyones' Country radio station. Easy listening, touching most, it has everything to be a #1 hit!!!!!!!!!!

[@marshac7738]

People who dismiss Home Free as "just a cover band" have never listened to the guys' own work. LOVE Home Free originals ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@johntucker4296]

Dive Bar Saints is such a great album.

[@georgefisher1995]

WHAT A PAIN THIS GROUP IS! Just when you think you found a favorite song, they come out with a NEW one! Can’t get enough of them!

[@georgefisher1995]

Your comments really highlight the reasons they are so D… good.

[@beadwright]

Lol. Problems, problems

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Lol

[@staceysmith8173]

These are the kind of problems the world needs.

[@allenclaytor8551]

yes amazing how that works isnt it

[@disambiguation9305]

The quality of your assessment and insight actually adds to the value of their composition and execution. Thank you for your professionalism and your heart for the music/the Spirit of Home Free and their continued capacity to WoW us. Have an awesome day.

[@evanweinzinger2607]

unfortunately, this has become my cry song. it never fails to make me cry when I play it on the way to or from work because this song is so about me too. it takes me about 9 times through before I get home. I am such a glutton for misery because I miss her soooooooo much.

[@stephanginther9051]

Another good original from Home Free is one written by Austin, 'You Loved Me Like That.' I'm pretty sure that one will make you cry though. Austin wrote it about a devastating breakup from his past. Its a gorgeous song though. A more lighthearted one is 'Why Not' which, I don't know who wrote it but Rob leads and its one of my favorites of their originals.

[@rowaineboyd1536]

Home Free have many original songs! Dive Bar Saints (title song of their album) is light, then heart-warming, then heavier, and a warm hug from a terrific friend. 'I've Seen' isn't given nearly enough credit. As wonderful as their covers are, their originals are super special! Please listen to 'I've Seen' and 'Dive Bar Saints' and 'Catch Me If You Can' - you will NOT regret it!

[@tfawns1147]

Alright people, we know that together and as individual artists these guys are great talents. So let's all take just a minute to shout out all the people that made this stop motion video to go with this fantastic song. Stop motion is one of the most time consuming methods for making videos and this one was very well done, so thanks to everyone that had a hand in this production!

[@kristindunstan172]

Such a great song! The “tossed around” made me think of Snow Globe, which I think he also wrote.

[@Lobo53]

I don't often make a comment (I just enjoy the music and reactions), but Jennifer, you are my favorite (professional) reactor out in KZbin land. I bow to my Lady. 😉🌹

[@dalebarrett8647]

I'd love to hear you sing this also, your voice is so amazing

[@ritanashville]

[@sallymaria]

Tim actually spent time as a professional song-writer in the late 2000s, between acapella groups, and there have been a couple of his songs on pretty much all of Home Free's albums - from fun ones like Champagne Taste to thoughtful ones like Remember This. And as some other people have said, HF's new album is almost all originals, so you've got a lot more Tim and Austin written songs to look forward to.

[@toddlower5546]

Another original song by Tim for Home Free is "Champaign Taste On a Beer Budget". One of my favorites.

[@carinalindberg7377]

I love Home Free's originals, especially the ones written by Tim or Austin. When we close in on Christmas you're in for a treat with their Christmas originals such as Full of Cheer and Snow Globe written by Tim and Warmest Winter and Cold Hard Cash written by Austin. Their new album So Long Dixie is almost exclusively songs written by the two of them, with some help of some of their song writing friends, and they also threw in a couple of songs we've already got such as American Pie with Don McLean. They also use some instruments in a couple of the songs, including the title track.

[@bethmashburn5894]

hurting and a healing is about as southern as it gets.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Tim, is such a great songwriter....this is off the new album, "So Long Dixie" which is all original songs. 12 I believe. So very pretty.....and Jen your analysis is spot on as usual !!!!

[@teresacartwright5406]

I'd love to hear your analysis of the live versions of "Ain't Going Down (Live)" and "Home Free & Maggie Baugh sing Delta Dawn". There's also a live version of Austin Brown singing Unchained Melody at Tim Foust's 6th Birthday Bash. Love your channel, comments & analyses!

[@colleenleavitt1777]

This is such a sweet song. Tim is such a great lyricist and storyteller...and his voice, (*sighs*), it's just perfect. 🥰

[@robinmahan8814]

I've loved all of their originals!

[@robhallahan163]

Hey there Jen! love your enthusiasm, knowledge and quirkiness. And may I ask how you manage to look adorable while doing the sulky "beaker" pout, when the rest of us look like a freak show? Keep up the good work (and facial expressions)

[@GoodOldGamer]

Sweet songs like this just makes you wanna give the singer a hug and reassure them it's all going to be ok. ❤️

Another TIM FOUST original I fell in love with this song almost immediately. WOO HOO! GO TIM GO

[@dalebarrett8647]

Thanks again for a great reaction... I so look forward to your reactions.....

[@joannmonte2978]

Tim is an exceptional writer, knows how to hit you with the feels. Love this new album really show off the spirit of the HF guys.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Thank you, Jennifer, for your genuine, and knowledgeable, understanding of true talent and for knowing how to explain it in such an entertaining way. I've been an "unofficial" fan of these boys ever since watching them all the way through the Sing-Off in 2013. They are my favorite vocal/a cappella group, and now i'm your fan, too. Your own beautiful voice has not gone unnoticed!

[@belinda9696]

Hurtin' and a healin' are southern country terms. When Tim sings it really sounds so country. He grew up in Texas, but to me, he doesn't talk as southern as he sings (of course I'm, another southerner, so I may not detect it as well). Love his vocals though.

[@joeminder7083]

Hate to say I told you so… these guys are so talented. I love their covers but you can’t help but be absolutely impressed by their originals! Check out some really fine ones off the DIVE BAR SAINTS album. Saw them live last week, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Do not miss them on their next European tour! Great re action as always!

[@pennygarrity386]

I love this! It's absolutely beautiful!!! It's one of those songs that just makes you smile and touches everyone in some way. There's plenty of their songs that should have been, but if this one doesn't get nominated for a Grammy or a CMA there's no justice!!!

[@fredkemper5957]

Wonderful, and Jen, loved your reaction as well! Thank you.

[@antrazitaj5209]

We should give you more originals to react to: Champagne taste on a beer budget, Snowglobe, California Country, Love me like that, It looks good, Good old country harmony.. They also have some christmas themed originals

[@bernieregnier4500]

[@michaelledbetter9174]

Good morning Jennifer. Gorgeous song, reaction was beautiful as well.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thanks!

[@JoanN63]

Of course very good, like everything from Home Free. Tim whose voice is perfect for this beautiful song with lovely lyrics. The great harmonies and background vocals of Austin and Rob, not too much and not too little. Chance's amazing bassline. Handsome Adam with his incredible beatboxing. And then there's the video, which is so well-designed and nicely put together. Together they form a great and complete picture. Home Free do it again.

[@anitawright7169]

Home Free never ceases to amaze me! Love your reaction!

[@wilshade]

This one sounds like it could be a hit. It's got that radio feel to it. As always, you make this a fun class on music appreciation.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Right?! Thank you!

[@wilshade]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer Okay, Jen. This reply is your fault lol. You taught me how to listen. So, here ya go. I put the new song on my HF playlist and played it on shuffle. About mid-way thru the playlist, "What's Left of My Heart" came on. It immediately stood out to me as something different. I was immediately reminded of the Oak Ridge Boys history. They were strictly a Gospel Quartet for decades. The current lineup stayed gospel for nearly another. They became accustomed to singing with each other and good easily pick out their parts to any songs writers sent their way. At that point, they tried their hand at secular country music. It didn't take long from that point for them to produce a hit. And the rest is decades of sold-out concerts. I am positive that the Oaks have made themselves available to HF whenever they might ask for advice. In any case, you are dead accurate in your assessment that they now know each other well enough to write and produce original music that has a better than average chance of making to Billboard Charts. Thanks to a more technology savvy world than the Oaks experienced, Home Free has a solid, and steadily increasing fan base from which to start. See what ya did, Jen? 😁

[@deanmarion5477]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer : that Tim Foust, he is so something. Greatest bassist of all time except Geoff but we appreciate Tim Foust for his vocal range even his bass which we love and we want to learn.

[@babyfry4775]

Wasn’t that sweet?!! Loved it. I loved the lyrics especially when he said he was a “fixer upper” as the heart was being stitched up. So cute. Tim writes a pretty song. Loved the Rob and Austin moments too. Great analysis Jen. 🥰😍 Clever video too😀

[@vandoraginther6421]

Got with you doing Home Free who I love. Love the way you do your analysis.

[@michelle32855]

That "a" thing is relatively common in the country southern vernacular: I was a-wishin' I could go to see Home Free; She was a-hollerin her head off. Typically the g is also dropped. It's quite endearing, I think :)

I waited to listen to this song while watching your reaction.... on both accounts, it was worth the wait. Beautiful song - Tim is such a word smith and the guys totally know how to support his work well. And you are correct - it definitely does sound like Home Free. It makes me want to smile-cry. Watching you break things down in real-time while being hit with "the feels" of the song is great. And the little snippets of you singing to get the notes convinced me that I would LOVE to see you try to cover this as a duet with someone.

[@tdb2012]

This is such a great song! Most definitely deserves at least a Grammy nomination. It's got such a great melody line along with exceptional story telling. And your breakdown of this song was on point as usual, Jen! Love this channel of yours! Keep 'em coming!

This song is from their new CD So Long Dixie. Except for two previously done numbers, every piece is written by Austin and/or Tim, and friends. It's on presale at the groups site, going out on Nov 4. Every song is so lovely. These boys are so talented. Hopefully they'll do a video for my new favorite Stargazer Lilies so you can experience Austin's magic.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you😁

[@MuriKakari]

a-prefixing "a-healin" is a very Southern American English thing, though I was taught we picked it up from older Scots dialects. You mostly hear it in Appalachian English, so I wonder if Tim says it naturally or picked it up from listening to other Country or in Nashville. Highly recommend the originals off Dive Bar Saints and Good Old Country Harmonies.

[@ahv51]

Love this new song and lyrics. Chance did a great job filling in with the low end notes and Adam with the almost paper crinkling in spots.

[@MichaelAngeloIV]

Such a beautiful and soothing song! When I first heard this I came home from a very busy and stress filled day of work, and it put me in a completely different head space. I played it over and over again and just melted into my chair in a relaxed state. A big thumbs up to Tim and Home Free for this one. 👍👍 Thanks for your great reaction and analysis, Jen.

Two more originals by Tim are Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget and Full of Cheer. Both are humorous songs. Home Free did Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget at the same time as they did Ring of Fire with Avi. Avi has a brief appearance in their video of the song. Tim also wrote Snow Globe. Austin wrote a lovely Christmas song about his grandmother and family Christmas called The Warmest Winter. He wrote it after his grandmother died.

Such a beautiful song. Home Free should pay you Jenn, for these reactions because you always, always, make me appreciate the beauty of their performances more than when I hear it first by myself. You are by far my favourite reactor. Thanks again for enriching my experience.

If we could get played on the radio, it would be hit song. Unfortunately they won't play their music on the radio and that's the only way it could even be nominated for a Grammy or a CMA.

[@davelister2]

Jen, if you want another original check out 'Champagne taste (on a beer budget)' It's technically a cover but it was written by Tim, several years before he joined HF full time he was working for an unnamed benefactor and was asked to write some country songs amongst other things and, at the time he was kinda over country music (ironic considering where he is now) and wrote the most cliche country song you could imagine and performed it with a 'band' made up of friends he'd made in the industry. The video is funny as well and has a surprising cameo in it. worth a listen.

[@staceysmith8173]

This new album are all originals written by Tim and Austin with some help from a few others. Except 2 songs.
