I LOVE Tim’s Lyric Writing!!! | Understand - Home Free | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@dianadickerson749]

Their new album hit Billboards at #132 , we're going to push it up!

[@minneyruth]

💯💯❤️

[@cowboy1165]

Really? That would be so cool.

[@tinawebb1250]

I grabbed my copy at their Christmas concert. It is so good.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

They did it yet again !!! A banger & it's an original !!! This is the 1st song that I've seen get universal 100% praise....usually at least 1 reactor doesn't totally like a song...but so far everyone has loved this one. Oh and Mortise, this is actually the 3rd original from the new album they've released...you missed "Whats left of my heart" and Austin's "Save the World" which is beautiful and not 100% acapella but his writing is up there with Tim.

[@chericeevans9990]

Both are great songs

[@lindanearing4710]

The only thing better than Home Free covers is Home Free originals. Again, the guys are stepping up their game. Their new album is a triumph! Most of the songs on it are originals. I don't think there's anything these guys can't do musically if they set their talents and skills to it. I don't understand how they just get better and better, but they do. Their music just makes me so stinkin' happy! Thanks for a great reaction.

[@denise_landry]

So so good! I can't get enough of this song! Tim co-wrote this with Jeffrey East and Patrick Dodge. Thanks Mortius for a fantastic reaction. That was worth the wait. 🖤🍟

[@vickiadkins9844]

Tim is such a fantastic songwriter!! 👏

[@patriciamcl54]

Most of the first verse says "Jeffrey East" loud and clear.

[@debbiestumm511]

The album has 12 of 14 songs and 12 of them are originals! It's a great album!!

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for your analysis. Another great original song from their new album "So Long Dixie". Love when they all take turns in singing a verse. Adam once again blows me away with his fabulous vocal percussion. And how cool do the guys look in their uniforms & shades walking out of the airplane hanger. Reminds me of a mixture of "Top Gun" & "The Right Stuff". Another winner!

[@callie3396]

Tim Foust seems to write for every member's voice.

[@joannmonte2978]

Jeffrey and Patrick were working on this song and called Tim to jump in finish it up. As Tim says write a word get a third. That first long verse with no where to breath is Jeffrey’s doing. I’ve seen this performed by Jeffrey, Tim and Chris at Tim’s Birthday Bashes I think as far back as 2019. Not specifically written for a a cappella

[@BurnsBridges]

I’m loving that we’re getting vintage Home Free where it gets passed around and everyone gets a go. Great reaction! ❤

[@debbiehall9091]

Absolutely love this original song. These guys are so flipping amazing. Also love the song So Long Dixie and Stargazer Lilies.❤️

[@charleneclaassen]

HF SAVE THE WORLD. Released before this one. With instruments. Please check it out.

I've watched multiple reactions to this. I've been dying for someone to acknowledge A!ustin sliding up to the high note arltvthe end of the bridge. FINALLY someone foy it!

LOVE this Home Free original--and that all of the guys get their own chance to shine--and look fabulous--in this cool video❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️ And just how many brand new originals are there where a new listener can start singing along halfway through their first hearing? THAT, my friend, is exceptional songwriting!! 😍 Radio should be blaring this song coast to coast❣️ In these days of so much negativity, Home Free's music lifts my spirit!! 💖 By the way, I think this is their 3rd video release from the So Long Dixie album. This video is just the first one since they released the new album--because they were both released the same day 😉. (The ones that were released earlier are What's Left of My Heart, written by Tim, and Save the World, written by Austin.)

[@loisgrohmann9091]

This is at least the 3rd release off their latest album - What's Left of My Heart and Save the World (both originals)

[@JeremyW55]

Save the World was a great original by HF also

[@CapriUni]

Okay, this is going to seem like a *complete* non sequitur, but the lyrics of the chorus reminds me of a line of dialog from Jane Austen's novel "Persuasion": "I have been used to the gratification of believing myself to earn every blessing that I enjoyed. I have valued myself on honourable toils and just rewards. Like other great men under reverses,” he added, with a smile. “I must endeavour to subdue my mind to my fortune. I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve.” ... 150 years before the first 737 was ever built. But some (of the best) things will never change. Tim is a great songwriter/storyteller.

[@CapriUni]

On further listening, another thing I like about this song is how each verse has more ... "open space" than the last. Tim's verse is jam-packed with rapid syllables -- almost rapping. Chance's verse fills out the melody with some of the syllables sliding between notes. And then, Austen's bridge is almost all long, floaty notes (and how the melody literally rises as he sings the word "flies"). Wonderful match of music and lyric, there.

[@christyeckert3115]

I love this song especially the lyrics. Tim and the other co-writers did an amazing job.

[@Codaflower]

Your excitement is the best part of watching your reaction videos 😊

[@gracetheatre23]

I really need to get into home free more, I've listened to a couple of their songs and I liked them. But honestly, i haven’t had the time to do a deep dive😅 But hopefully, I can do that soon because they are amazing!

[@joywright8794]

I think you mean the best of all possible Home Free level outcomes. Ultimate satisfaction! ❤‍🔥

[@angelamason9840]

Thank you! Understand is my favorite song on So Long Dixie! So glad you finally got to hear the lyrical genius of Jeffrey East. Him and The Hound + the Fox are 2 artists I love, thanks to Home Free and Chris Rupp!

[@ritacarroll2057]

I knew you'd love this. I love Austin's slide on the last word in his verse. And Tim's verse. Wow.

[@babyfry4775]

It’s so good and I loved your analysis. Tim wrote this one (with Jeffrey East) and it’s beautiful. I loved the lyrics especially “when a prayer goes up, an answer comes down”. Love it. They have a lot of originals in the latest album. 🥰

[@davidhackfeld7209]

Love your reactions!! This is just one of the great songs on their new album. I got to see them in October, it was fabulous!! My wife said it was the best concert that she has been to. Keep up the great work!

[@KayOhio]

I love this song and love how you reacted to it! They are such a talented group of singers! Thank you.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

What a fun reaction! The guys just keep showing more talent in writing, singing, arranging, etc, they are all just amazing.

[@carolyntaylor7]

I’m always amused when they say they don’t understand how a 737 gets off the ground - while they’re wearing flight suits!! You notice how long that the first verse is? It’s a wonder Tim had enough breath to complete it without turning blue in the face!, ❤❤

[@sarahereach]

Apparently according to Tim, when he sent this song off to his friends for their opinion, they sent him back explainer articles about how planes fly 🤣

[@beadwright]

Tim was laughing at Jeffrey while singing this last night as he drew a huge gasping breath at the beginning and end of his first verse. The whole group was laughing as Tim said it was important not to miss part of these writing sessions or Jeffrey might have gotten a little carried away on the lyrics...lol

[@richb313]

Mortius your reaction is joyful just like this song is.

[@ericachang4752]

Love to see your excitement. The layers of their harmonies are just creative and beautiful. The lyrics are lovely. Great to enjoy their music with you. Thank you, Mortius.

[@marciaramirez3791]

I loved, loved, loved your enthusiasm over our guy's new original!! As always, a wonderful reaction! Thank you for the joy!

[@kmwwrench]

Great song by Jeffrey East, Patrick Dodge and Tim. Great arrangement by Darren Rust. And, of course, fabulous execution. So many great originals on the album.

[@pennygarrity386]

Once again our boys kicked ass!!! This song is PERFECTION!!! I have to ask this question though...It doesn't matter because he always looks good but is it just me or does it seem that every time they're wearing some kind of jumpsuit that Adam ends up with one that either looks to small or waaay to big? LOL Got my tickets for their Christmas concert today!!!! Yea me lol

[@samplerworker6803]

Thanks for such a great reaction. I love you enthusiasm. You should check out Peter Barber's reaction to this song. He goes through all the changes they go through and it's interesting to see how they go from major to minor and sharp chords. The dynamic really keeps your interest.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This is a Tim Foust and Jeffrey East original. There has been 2 other original video's before this What's Left of My Heart (Tim Foust Mark Nesler and Martin Dodson) and Save The World by Austin Brown and Andrew Tufano. Truly enjoy watching your reaction to these guys and their music.

[@minneyruth]

So happy you did this one. It's a great original 🥰

[@AlwaysAndForever7]

This song is for sure going on my playlist!

[@connieharmon2408]

Love Home Free, I have been listening to this song every day. Love Your Reactions 💕

Well, what is better than good, fun music and beautiful classic airplanes?

[@JoanN63]

As expected: Amazing!!!! Love this original. A lovely and happy song. Great that everyone has a solo in a part of the song. Here too you can hear so well how important the harmonies and backgrounds vocals/sound is in a song. And of course the deep bass and inhuman vocal percussion. Only there is one problem. It's too short!😉 Wearing awesome suits in a video simple, but so cool and good.🥰 It's already in my favorite playlist among so many other songs from Home Free!!

You have always been great fun to watch react to things, but it has gotten ~so much better~ since you got the standing desk. I love watching you jump around and dance.

[@dragonmusher]

I have had this stuck in my head for several days...go thru it..listen to multiple times a day and I am still not tired of it. I do believe if ever there was an original acapella song meant to be played on the radio its this one. It's too short to get annoying and the lyrics are so good... HF brings out my inner music nerd so much. I think what that "cannon" sound was from Adam was a "Jet engine" burst. (According to the two year old I take care of "Adam Took Off". ) (And I don't argue with the 2yr old 😂

[@barbarakennedy2667]

[@amandalindsay8920]

Happy bouncy Mortius & awesome original acapella, today has just got so much better

[@teresacartwright5406]

I think their original songs would be awfully hard for other singers to cover. The members of Home Free all have tremendous breath control and can sing long lyrics like this with ease - that's not always the case for other artists. Secondarily, both Tim and Austin (who write or co-write the originals with others or alone) both have a terrific vocal range. So between the breath control and the necessary vocal range (i.e. "Snow Globe", "Love Me Like That") it would be a lot of talent to cover one of their originals.

[@kareng1894]

Hi Mortius, I have a reaction suggestion that I think you would enjoy. Chris Rupp (who started Home Free) has a solo career now and is in a group called Cypress Fyre. I would love to see you react to their cover of "Seize The Day" from Newsies. it's a short cover but I still think the arrangement is great. I love the chord that they sing at 1: 06 in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmKXo5eLZ5J6qrs
