I'M GONNA CRY!!!!!!!! Blind reaction to Home Free - Cover Me Up

[@beadwright]

Two more personal ones are Die A Happy Man (Tim)and Spaceship.(Rob)

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I'm revisiting some of my favorite reactions from 2023 and this ABSOLUTELY made my list....thanks Chance, Home Free and especially YOU Dylan :)

[@dagmar.6954]

This is definitely one of Home Free's more touching heartfelt songs. The video is very sweet too. Chance's voice is perfect for this type of ballad song. These guys are my favorite a cappella group. It's all about the song & not showing off with unnecessary gimmicks.

[@minneyruth]

How cute was Sami ❤ Chance being super adorable and proposing in their Pj's ❤

[@wolfe6220]

Dinosaur pj's at that! Sign of a true romantic! 😉

[@minneyruth]

@@wolfe6220 absolutely 🤣🥰

[@vickiadkins9844]

That's why I love HF so much! They include us in their lives!! Home Free and Home Fries are family. I think they're actors

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I knew you'd love this !!!! From what I heard, this couple are actor friends of Chance & Sami. Remember since their marriage in May 2022 Chance said they have bought a home in Long Beach, California....which is in the Los Angeles metro area. Chance really gets to prove himself here with all those amazing runs & riffs....shows more of his great vocal talents....he's awesome. 👍👌💯

[@ShyAnn291]

I think I heard it’s the couple from the hound and the fox. I could be wrong though.

[@sallymaria]

@@ShyAnn291 No, it's not them. They are in Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On and Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer, but this is another couple.

[@ShyAnn291]

@@sallymaria oh yes you’re right, I got mixed up. Thank you for correcting me.

[@sallymaria]

@ShyAnn291 No problem- there's so much misinformation in comment sections, it's so easy to get things mixed up. I know I would much rather someone told me if I'm getting something wrong.

[@ShyAnn291]

@@sallymaria yes I agree!

[@reneroberson2784]

This song here and I can't outrun you are probably my two favorite by Adam Chance my God his voice is mesmerizing. I love these five men so much they just bring so much brightness into my world.. Love my Boys 🏡🆓🏡🍟 and I absolutely enjoy you sweetheart you are just amazing. Make sure you watch to the very end on this song I was bawling like a baby😢

[@rllangevin3841]

I Can’t Outrun is more of Chance and 5-part harmony throughout. Not only was it Chance’s concept, he directed the video - it’s hauntingly beautiful and another emotional ride. Please, this is a MUST!!!

[@KaaSerpent]

The fact that this was Chance's song through-and-through, and the other boys completely receded into the background shows you just how talented they are as a group. The MUSIC comes first.

[@jill9837]

One of the many things I love about HF is that they've let us fans into their lives in very personal ways that make it feel like we're not just fans but family. That's a rare thing and we appreciate it. Love your reactions, you are so much fun

[@nightthornkvala94132]

You're right. That is one thing that makes the guys, their SOs, their family/crew so, so special. I want to a concert that was after their wedding and was surprised to see Sami at the merch table. The show was fantastic and a lot of fun, but the highlight of the night was getting to talk to Sami Matarante and congratulate her on their marriage.

[@andreaislandgirl720]

This was filmed during the pandemic, the people in the video are a real-life couple. I think that the person who filmed them was a relative of one of theirs.

[@davelister2]

Dj, if you really want something that will make you tear up, Home Free and Mark Wills sing his song 'Don't laugh at me' a strong message and hard hitting video which addresses some raw truths about the society we're living in.

[@minneyruth]

❤❤️

[@tosweet68]

Such a wonderful video

[@momD612]

Absolutely!! & "one voice" will Billy Gillman

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

@@momD612 This!

[@patriciavernon9795]

Another hauntingly beautiful song by HF is What We Ain’t Got. Their singing is always amazing but that song just gets to my soul! Chance was so good on this song; we need to hear more from him. Thanks for your reaction! 😀❤️

[@ruthcurfman7532]

One of my favorites! And, again, the video goes right with the lyrics.

[@alyssadaniels7841]

Chance’s voice is like a warm, fuzzy blanket! This is one of my top favorites from HF and I use it like a lullaby when I need something to help me calm down to sleep.

[@babyfry4775]

Hahaha gotcha! So cute and a good song for Chance. Chance got this and Austin had Stargazer Lilies trilogy for Amberly and Tim had Die a Happy Man with Jenika. The other boys were already married and so they didn’t get a song (so to speak) although Rob got the song Spaceship for his baby son. Really cute video. Boys sounded great and Chance was great for sure!🥰

[@ulrikaandersson1463]

Rob also have Honey, I`m Good.

[@carolyntaylor7]

When the lyrics are ‘when Percy Priest breaks…’ that’s a reference a lake with a dam in the Nashville TN area. Also, the guy in the video has an uncanny resemblance to Aaron Rogers a quarterback who led the Green Bay Packers.

[@rulab]

You soppy bugger! 😉 I'm right there with you though. This was adorable and so pretty. And as always your reaction was the CUTEST part for me! ❤ #DJAntlers

[@angielofton6372]

I already loved this song so Iwas happy that they were covering it. Their arrangement was so beautiful and I almost keeled over when they put Chance and Sami in at the end. Such a wonderful moment. If you want to see something really personal check out “Spaceship”, it makes me laugh and cry all in the same video.

[@rllangevin3841]

Yes!!! Another gem that sadly doesn’t get enough attention! It’s so precious!!!

[@momD612]

Love that one!!! ❤❤

[@june4976]

"In good times and in bad" is not about the chasms of life, but the potholes. Everybody can muster their strength to overcome big obstacles. But it takes more resilience and devotion to master the small, recurring, nerve-wrecking bumps. That is what marriage is about.

[@adideles7977]

Just one of my favorites from Chance!! These guys are simply wonderful!! 💝💞

[@robynmatheson7687]

For more wonderful Chance I suggest “I Can’t Outrun You “- 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful , and Chance directed the video. It’s also Chance in his lower register. Chance is such an emotive singer. He and Rob are the ones that really hit my heart and soul.

[@rosiewoodhouse5503]

Yes! This☝️

[@bevkonde9028]

Agreed!

[@debbiestumm511]

Watch Spaceship about Rob and his wife's 2nd baby! It's amazing!!! 😊

[@ppresley9208]

Just love it when Chance takes the lead ... his voice is so warm , smooth and smoky ! My blood pressure drops 20 points whenever I listen to his beautiful tone LOL ! Adore all these guys !

[@reneroberson2784]

When Adam Chance does I can't outrun you it's by Trace Adkins Adam put that whole video together. The harmonies are so freaking amazing in that song.. I really hope you do a reaction to that...🏡🆓🏡🍟

[@rllangevin3841]

Yes, it’s a MUST!!!

[@sallymaria]

This was filmed during lockdown- the couple are married in real life, so they were able to film together. Jimmy Bates, videographer and editor extraordinaire, knew them or found them - they also have a short role in the video for People.

[@jadaskye]

And it looks like Jimmy's dog made an appearance before its starring role in "When Will I be Loved".

[@sallymaria]

@@jadaskye Yes, I think so.

[@bobbywheeler4810]

I fell in love with this song several years ago with the original artist, Jason Isbell. His work is WELL worth the reaction time. I think the guys did it justice...great work DJ!!

[@florencegrant-mc7bb]

Isn’t this beautiful?! Chance’s gorgeous voice backed up by the unmatchable Home Free guys. And when Tim lays down that bass, pure ear candy. This is one of my very favorites. I get chills just hearing it. Your reactions are always spot on, and thank you.

[@terimingle8957]

This is one of the best live songs ever!! Love it and Chance kills it! So glad you finally got to hear it ❤ Thanks Judy!!

[@Rangatology]

Reading the closed captions has led me to a new word “kizomba” 😂

[@justann1358]

Oh you caught that one too… I had to look it up 😂

[@JoanN63]

One of the most beautiful songs where Chance has the lead. His voice so smooth, sexy, with so much feeling and a raw edge makes it the perfect voice for this song. The harmony is so rich. The background sounds great with the bass, the tenor voices where you sometimes hear a slightly higher (?) tenor. Or I don't really know how to describe it. In any case, it sounds to me as if a wind is blowing through it, which gives it that extra something for me. So beautiful.

[@mamabear-gu4oo]

I absolutely LOVE everything homefree does I don't think they can do a bad song.❤❤❤

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Chance was telling this story so beautifully. Home Free wonderful as always.

[@mjackson780]

I loved the steel guitar sounds that Adam did through out the song.

[@itzel1735]

I like to think “Yours” is the follow up to this song. (It isn’t, but Chance does such a lovely job with that song and in the music video, I can pretend)

[@tinah8833]

Agreed!

[@teresacartwright5406]

you'll never pick up lyrics from the closed captions - they're always like someone translated the words into some obsolete language & then back to English! Chance's voice puts me in mind of Smoky Robinson's. HF is my favourite acapella band - probably 'cuz they're ego-free. It's all about harmony and the song itself. This is such a beautiful song, beautifully song. Love your channel & comments!

[@teresacartwright5406]

Whatever you've done to your hand, I wish you a quick, thorough recovery.

[@carolyntaylor7]

I’ve tried translating something from one language I know to another I’m fluent in & back to the first. The result is a massive mixup!

[@Malmas7]

One of the things that hits me with Home Free besides their beautiful harmonies and music is how much they show the love they have for their partners with the songs they choose. Everyone has a song except for Adam Rupp, I would love to see them do a song just for Adam and his wife Ericha then it would be complete. IMO

[@richb313]

This song is a cover of a Jason Isbell song the group who comes up with the video ideas are very talented as well.

[@roniboyd613]

Did you hear me shouting 'don't stop, don't stop?? You nearly gave me a heart attack when you stopped the video at the end! My fave "Chance lead" Home Free song.

Me too. I was here muttering "Keep going, keep going".

[@hatleyhoward7193]

Listen to Jason Isbell sing this from his Austin City Limits live performance. He is recently newly sober and sings it for his wife, Amanda Shires (who is a kick ass musician and fiddle player in her own right) in a very relatable, touching, and emotional performance. The way Isbell writes, compared to most radio country, is like the difference between Cormac McCarthy vs. Nicholas Sparks. Home Free has never had a problem with song selection…

[@vickiadkins9844]

Chance is sooo good!! Love him so much!! Beautiful

I'm a cynical gal who's had my heart broke many times and this video makes me smile and cry happy tears each and every time 😊

[@darlaharrelson6487]

Chance voice is absolutely beautiful he is so versatile and handsome does not hurt him either. I loved the proposal. But I thought it would end maybe tragedy the way the boy’s vocals played up then down. They damned ne’er killed me. 😂😂❤

[@roniboyd613]

Judy, thank you! How did you know this was my fave HF with Chance in the lead??❤

[@judylee1440]

That was just the sweetest thing ever! DJ - thank you for your wonderful reaction!

[@leslieoneal4464]

From what I've heard, the couple were hand-picked by Chance for the video. I like how they actually resemble Chance and Sami, but not in an obvious way. ❤ I love Chance's voice any day, but it was especially silky smooth in this song! I replayed the same parts you did! The other guys killed it in the background, too. Those soft brushes Adam was doing were awesome and that bending of a steel guitar was amazing! If you haven't heard his "If I Could Only Fly" on his channel, you really should!!! It's gorgeous! Just him and his guitar...and that velvety voice.

[@nancyholter5646]

a capella steel guitar - who would think of that?

[@itzel1735]

I also recommend “If I Could Only Fly”. But it’s folksy, and subtle and a little sad. Maybe not everyone’s taste, but I love that style and this song particularly.

[@stanrock2225]

Tissue time. Chance is killing it and has one of the best voices of all time

[@akillingfrost]

This is a morgan wallen song, I didn't know until just now they covered it. It's a beautiful song originally and they took it to a new level. Love from Cali ❤️

[@colombe245]

This one is sooo good !! But i really prefer, just a little bit, "Yours", Chance in the lead and the Boys in harmoniesin the back ground. I don't understand why "Yours" as so few reactions ...and don't start me one "Woman amen/Female", peack Austin hotness, the guys just look and sound too good in this one 🎉🎉🎉

[@conniestone2806]

Helllo! Love anything Chance leads on! His voice cuts into my heart/soul, just really soulful and sensual. And today Home Free did a sneak peak for the Patrons of Playing With Fire video. Get ready and it is going to blow your mind! Have been listening to it for many months since their album came out. But seeing the new video the song is even better and crazy good and the video is super cool! So watch for it and be ready. Should be out soon, maybe even Friday? Not sure. Take care!!

You now have to react to I can't outrun you. If you loved this, which it appears you did, you will melt with I can't outrun you!

[@rllangevin3841]

Loved your reaction to this Wonderful cover/upgrade! Another MUST for Chance’s silky smooth vocals is their cover/upgrade of Trace Atkin’s, I Can’t Outrun You. The video concept was his and he directed it as well. IMHO it’s at least in the Top 10, and their 5-part harmony, layering, and masterful BGVs will blow you away! Others that pull at the Heartstrings - keep tissues close by): Yours Heaven Spaceship Die A Happy Man, then… One Voice feat. Billy Gilman (watch to the end), and Don’t Laugh At Me feat. Mark Wills (and some other special guests - also watch to the end). Please keep the Home Free coming there’s much yet to discover and you know by now they never disappoint!!

[@debbieholoquist2059]

At home in pjs. That's pretty much how mine went. Forty-two years ago. You're right -- it's not about razzle-dazzle. I've known too many who make big productions of the proposal and fail to put that effort into the marriage. This one made me cry. Oh, I've seen it before, but something about watching your reaction brought back my original emotions. It's truly a beauty.

Great reaction. I love the "steel guitar" in the background. The captions aren't very accurate on this one. You're probably better off looking up the lyrics in the future. All the a cappella background vocals really mess with that.

[@rmfd1521]

The original song is by Jason Isbell ... Homefree's version is great but I really recommend listening to the Morgan Wallen version

[@dawnprice6914]

I like this version better than Morgan Wallen's honestly. And I love Morgan's music. Don't Laugh At Me is AMAZING!!

[@elvwood]

I have one problem with this beautiful song, which means I struggle to take it in the intended spirit. There's a lot of alcoholism in my family, and in my mind the narrator saying he really will give up the booze "this time" is a huge red flag for the future of the fictional couple. I know that's not how it's intended, it's just my personal (luckily secondhand) experience. Anyway, I'm glad that doesn't catch most listeners!

[@hatleyhoward7193]

It’s written by Jason Isbell who was an alcoholic and has achieved sobriety. I don’t think it’s out of terms to say “this time” as it’s a life long struggle but rest assured, he’s remained sober.

[@elvwood]

@@hatleyhoward7193 Thank you so much!! That info significantly improves the song for me (I was just too used to failed promises).

[@hatleyhoward7193]

@@elvwood He performed this live for Austin City Limits and the entire crowd cheers at that line in the performance because Isbell is so open and honest about his struggle in real life and through his songs. I get how it could be misinterpreted though. Isbell writes songs like Cormack McCarthy writes novels…it’s dense and poetic and never outright literal. Most other artist are like Nicholas Sparks… not not a novel, but lacks the prose, syntax, and imagery. He isn’t shy about addiction and how he affected his loved ones. I highly suggest going down the rabbit hole.

[@vinnieblair8576]

Those lyrics are low-key raunchy but I guess the pandemic did that easily. Cheers!!

[@hatleyhoward7193]

For me, it’s about Jason Isbell’s desire to be with his wife without being under the influence. They aren’t raunchy, it’s about intimacy and how he feels that his relationship means so much to him, and he plans to finally show his spouse the attention she has always deserved. This song was also written way before Covid.
