I Felt Something STRONG Here! | Playing with Fire - Home Free | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@charleneclaassen]

Mortius do you remember a while back, when you almost lost your enthusiasm for reacting to HF on your channel (and we begged you to continue)? This reaction, both to the video and the song, just proves how HF can still blow your top, even when you think you've heard all they have to offer. This reaction video has the wonder and thrill of your first reactions to HF. I love that your reactions where just as crazy as Austin's vocal performance in this song. I'm so glad the guys got to thoroughly surprise you again. Every member was great in this song. But Austin was on fire here, giving us smooth/grit, vulnerable/passionately confident & low/high, high and higher. This song belongs on radio and this video needs to be on tv screens everywhere. This is one of your best HF reactions by far. Love it. 😅😊

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

This is my absolute favorite from this album, and in my opinion, Austin's best -- so far! Rob provides the sultry, Austin the sexy and Home Free the perfectly seductive chorus! The fire dancers were pro and beautiful. Playing with fire, indeed! Anyone not responding to this one has forgotten what passion is. Home Free never, ever, lets us down.

[@lindanearing4710]

We already knew Home Free does sweet, tender love songs masterfully, but now we know they are also masters of hot, steamy, seductive love songs as well. With Rob's sweet, mellow energy at the beginning, almost as if he were sharing a secret, then Austin coming in with the kicked up energy as if bustin' out the secret; that was genius. My favorite from the album for sure. These guys got it goin' on no matter what they perform. Adam's beat box and vocal percussion just get more creative all the time, as well. Austin and his co-writers came up with another winner. This song and video almost made me forget how damned old I am. Whew! Could totally relate to your reaction. Great reaction, as usual.

[@minneyruth]

❤🥵🔥

[@kmwwrench]

I'm so glad that you saw Adam "lighting" the heart. Absolutely my favorite shot in the video and you're the only reactor who has noticed. Great song from Austin and his songwriting pals, Jeffrey East, Ernie Halter and Andrew Tufano. Great vocals. Sizzling video.

[@officialmortius]

It was such an exceptional shot!!

[@miconis123]

The Adams are literally playing with fire during the outro and Tim is transfixed by it.

[@judyhausler7057]

Ofcourse, another absolutely amazing song from Austin, Mortius... in the outro, how could you possibly miss the children(Adam, Tim & Chance) playing with Fire! Chance was tormenting Rob while he's trying to speak!

[@lschoenrank]

I was surprised Mortius didn't notice the antics during the outro. I guess he was still understandably busy being all hot and bothered!

[@debbienorris7307]

Austin was singing in an extraordinary way-could listen to this one over and over!

[@sallymaria]

This was made by the same video company (and on the same shoot) as Might As Well Be Me - they hadnt worked with HF before, but I really hope they do again.

[@danivansuperstar]

I'm just now getting a chance to comment. This was hands down my favorite reaction of yours ever! Thanks for continuing to react to music and especially Home Free. We Mortius fans are forever fans! Keep it going if you can!

[@officialmortius]

Thank you ☺️

[@creationsbychancecan]

I love Rob singing in his lower range. The visuals are intimate and innovative. Love the moodiness of filming in the dark. When your ADD acts up it sure makes for a fun reaction 😊

[@susanhorn4325]

Now that’s what I call a REACTION 🔥

[@carinalindberg7377]

Now, go back and listen to those lyrics again, together with the arrangement.

[@bethcoussou]

Perhaps there should be a warning on this video! Lol That was a blast to watch you react to this one! So entertaining! You are a trip, Mortius! Considering I’m newly 67, some my age may have been offended, but I was amused and entertained! Probably best your wife doesn’t watch your reaction! Lol jk Home Free definitely knocked another one out the ball park with this one! It was very different than other videos, but supremely awesome!

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Even this old lady got hot with this song from Austin. Hey, I'm old, not dead.😊😊 Go take a cold shower, Mortius.

[@teresacartwright5406]

I love this song and video. Of course the original song, singing, harmonies & beatboxing are terrific - it's Home Free! The fire dancers are just amazing! I love the ending with Tim hypnotized by the flame and Chance & Adam literally playing with fire. Another great song by HF (they have another original that just came out: "Remember My Name" - they just keep going from strength to strength).

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This was written by Austin, Andrew Tufano, Jeffrey East and Ernie Halter. This is a fantastic song and video for sure. Watching your reaction to this song was absolutely amazing. You need to check all the guys in the back while Austin and Rob are talking. Adam Rupp was playing in the fire, Tim was staring at his fire and Chance was messing with Rob with his fire. Thanks again for your reaction.

[@georgefisher1995]

You didn’t mention Adam’s “drop,drop” back-sound at the line about “we might as well pour ourselves another drink”. So clever! I grew up in the 50’s, and this has a flavor of those times. I can hear someone like “The Velvet Fog” Mel Torme with his jazz edge doing this. It would have been a #1 on jukeboxes. (One song for a dime, three for a quarter!). (Seat dancing, to a syncopated chew of your cheeseburger, pure enjoyment)

[@dagmar.6954]

It almost sounded like Adam was making an uncorking a bottle sound.

[@CapriUni]

A torch song in more way than one!

[@tygerbrite]

Comment entirely unrelated to this video: I think a lot of people would be interested in knowing what you have to say about their cover of "Try Everything." Seeing it again last night and noticing a cappella complexities I hadn't heard before, my first thought was "What would Mortius think?"

[@vickiadkins9844]

This is now my fav!! Austin is an amazing songwriter!! 👏

[@stanrock2225]

This needs to be on the radio

[@richb313]

I agree Mortius this is is the best video yet the song is Austin's as well.

[@LynnRamsay]

They just released the last original video off the So Long Dixie album on Friday called Remember My Name

[@patriciavernon9795]

Stunning song by Austin and raw, pure animal magnetism in his vocals! More please!!! 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

[@debbiehall9091]

This is literally fire. Love this video and song. These boys never cease to amaze.💗💗💗

[@JoanN63]

Yes you can say that this song is fire! One of my favorites from the album or maybe even my favorite. How Rob starts so beautifully very quietly and then just like with fire the flames go higher and higher, so the song went through Austin here as well. The incredible harmony was of course also present here, just like the super bassline and awesome beatboxing. Wonderful was also the video with that couple playing spectacularly with the fire. Home Free actually looks very simple, but it is still beautiful. The dark with the light of the fire. Top! Here Home Free shows again that they really can sing anything.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Ever try to count Austin's notes per minute? Sultry, sexy but holy cow this was top drawer!

[@NivMizzet13]

Oo Oo! I remember Dustfinger from Inkheart! Thatwas a pretty good movie :D

[@officialmortius]

I was in fact referencing the book ;) but the movie isn’t a BAD adaptation so I’ll take it

[@babyfry4775]

You are so entertaining! Hahaha. Yeah this had me hot and bothered. Austin knows how to write a good song. He and Adam really killed it. Loved the fire dancers. Great reaction M!🥰😍

[@sylviasargent2727]

I'm surprised you missed at the end when Rob was talking and the guys were playing with the fire in the background.

[@angelamason9840]

Yay! I frequently belt this song and can’t get it out of my head! This is a favorite on the album. 🔥🔥🔥

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Mortius - this was SOOO much fun to watch. I have seen this video multiple times, but this was the best reaction ever!!!! And a fantastic song by Austin!

[@beckiramsey9561]

Really loved your reaction, understood it totally!😁 Loved Rob’s soothing softer voice starting off the song and then all of they guys with their amazing harmonies for the chorus, Adam keeping the groove down with the beat. Then, of course Austin’s gorgeous voice, runs and growl! Never thought he could look any hotter, but the firelight suits him well, I think the hotness oozing off of him lit those fires!🔥🔥 He is on a roll with his song writing that is for sure! Home Free never misses, the next one, which is the last video from the album, also written by Austin, is great too!❤ Awesome reaction Mortius!❤️❤️

[@timworks991]

You are just too hyper and funny on this one. I think there is a little bit of pyro in all of us. As a kid I loved fire, i could stare into the fire in a fire place or play with it. Some become firefighters when they grow up to have an excuse to play with fire still. Love it.

[@bryanpscolka7280]

home Free is the most amazing acapella group ever. There is nobody that can out do them. It is an Austin original. Just absolutely awesome as always!!!!

[@angelamiller6275]

Dude, you just crack me up!! Very entertaining reaction!❤

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Mortius, yoi Mortius, you aren't alone....that is my favorite HFvideo too....and yes, who are the dancers???

[@geniej9093]

You were so much fun to watch reacting here. I'm going to my TV to watch this in a dark room to enjoy you again.

[@peggybischoff2672]

I’m so glad you reacted to this one. Loved every second of your reaction. Always look forward to them.

[@ryansmallwood1178]

This was hilarious and some great touches from Mason as well. Thanks as always!

[@barbaraisgolden]

💖🍟HOW can a song be Cool AND Hot at the same time? Easy when it's Home Free!! LOVED your reaction! 😊🍟💖

[@nancymanning1763]

Really enjoyed your reaction to this one.❤❤❤

[@dagmar.6954]

This is such a great original song! Rob & Austin do a nice job taking lead on this. Love the guys harmonies, Tim's bass & Adam's awesome vocal percussion. Also really like the video with the fire & the dancers.

[@ljt974]

I think this one has to by my favourite song from the album, and this has to be my favourite reaction of yours to the album!

[@antrazitaj5209]

Fun reaction and all the Kudos to Mason, loved the editing!

[@barbarakennedy2667]

It is official. Home Free broke Mortius this time.

[@chaosjan5239]

love the inkheart reference there😊 one of my most favorite book series

[@connieharmon2408]

One of my Favorites, Love This ❤

[@nancymccombs3775]

What a fun reaction!!! You are so entertaining!

[@minneyruth]

Most of us needed a cold shower lol 🔥🔥🔥

[@matty.j_1997]

In Apple Music, in any song you can literally see *every name of every person* that was a part of the song. 😊 Btw great reaction and I agree 👌🏻

[@terimingle8957]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your HF reactions!! ❤

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Thanks 😊

[@Mitschki92]

I'm just commenting to say I got the "Dustfinger" reference. I read the books as a teenager and loved them. :) Great reaction, as always! :)

[@minneyruth]

I too wish they would put it in the description

[@cheyenne732000]

I love❤ your reactions!😁

[@SweetCarolineCDN]

Gonna be a HOT TIME in the Mortius household tonight 🔥 ❤🔥🔥💖

[@lisabeaver7675]

Great great reaction. Austin's song writing and Home Frees delivery is fantastic you might want to see Austin's last song from the same album Remember My Name and if you get a chance Austin did a duet with Makena Hartlin singing Never had a Dream Come True it was amazing 😊

[@leighannefoster4917]

I absolutely love your reactions! They are so genuine and you mix the technical with the pure joy of experiencing the music. Thank you!!

[@carriemilito2851]

Ah ha, an Inkheart reference!

[@gerlindekunar4651]

Love your reaction, Mortius, you are so emphatic!!💗 And funny, too!!😂

[@emblazen6442]

Great reaction as always. I now wonder whatmyou would make of The Light by Disturbed. Very different song of course, and quite a different outlook.

[@tomoovehk]

Mortius is me simping for both Austin and the girl in the video😭

[@GryphonDes]

Great song and lovely OTT reactions heheh -- awesome!

[@glendamcgrady1244]

So you enjoyed it? So did I!

[@quiltie1774]

How did she not catch her hair on fire!?!

[@BuffieKlumpenhower]

Inkheart

[@Awsomegamer14837]

This is a austin original

[@Laura-nm3rn]

I loved Paul Bettany in that movie.

[@myopiniondoesntmatterh9073]

I agree, you could use a cold shower, and so could many of us after watching this (as if we didn't already need one after the the original video; but given that it's ridiculously hot outside, a cold shower feels good anyway, so we can't be mad at you in the slightest). You're even more adorable having a literal meltdown during a reaction, and Mason is adorable having fun with it. Love you both and am looking forward to more reactions to Home Free! - Kathy

[@ruthcurfman7532]

Who are the two fire dancers?

[@joanwharff6483]

I think your reaction is one of the Best 💗‼️💗🔥… too good 🔥💗🔥 Thanks Mortius 🙃‼️💗🔥 Yes🔥‼️🔥…did Austin write an Amazing song or What ??? 🔥💗❣️💗🔥

[@roniboyd613]

❤

[@lizdeken9710]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@freadadillon4071]

BEST EVER!!!! Totally sexy.

[@biancallemos]

OMG I'm always angry at the "entity" that handles Home Free's social media lol Glad to see I'm not the only one

[@nancyholter5646]

Is it possible that when you do the reaction to Pretty Woman, that you show the Sing Off version, first? I think it is a nice compare and contrast.

[@karinfichtner7479]

Mortius, you are so adorable!! I just love you to death. You must keep your wife giggling. You're certainly not boring! Austin really sizzles in this, doesn't he?😋

[@harleyadam4813]

I think you should react to Am I The One live at Paradiso by Beth Hart. Prepare to be blown out of your shoes and find your tie in the next county.

[@harleyadam4813]

And is it just me? Or do the dancers REALLY look like Natalie Dormer and Austin Butler?

[@HelenGriffith-hv3fy]

😀

[@patriciamcl54]

I love the song,, it's one of my all-time favourites but the video is hopeless. It appears to have been edited by someone who has never heard the song. The lead changes and all we see is the woman wandering about. Austin goes insane and we don't see it, just yet more wafting. And what a sour-faced woman. Surprising that anyone signed off on this.

[@patriciamcl54]

No-one seems to have pointed out that Austin's co-writers on this were the amazing team of Jeffrey East, Andrew Tufano and the great Ernie Halter.

[@myopiniondoesntmatterh9073]
