Mayday by Home Free -- THAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE FINALLY READY!! -- 307 Reacts -- Episode 242

[@Tommyboy574]

This is what it looks like when Action Bronson and Tom Green become good friends. 😆 Keep up the good work guys, love it!

[@307Reacts]

I literally just spit out my drink!! 😂🤣😂🤘🏼 You have no idea how many times I've been referenced to Tom Green! 😂 Crazy people still know who he is! "This is the Tom. Green. Show. It is my fav. Rite. Show. Because it is. My. Show." Your comment gets the pin, sir! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@janetmcclure8568]

The thing with these guys is all of their voices are so effortlessly performed.

[@janhallett2833]

"Mayday" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Cam for her second studio album Untamed (2015). The song was written with Tyler Johnson, who also produced the track with Jeff Bhasker and Zachary Werner. "Mayday" is a country pop song about a sinking relationship, built around a hook evoking a mayday call.

[@lisamcbride8921]

The original song is done by country singer Cam, and I believe the boys are singing it in the same key as she did!

[@truckerswife5060]

Finally more Home Free. Thank you.

[@alyssadaniels7841]

Cover Me Up, I Can’t Outrun You, and Yours are excellent ones that have Chance as the lead for the whole song. He has such a warm, rich baritone/bass tone that is gorgeous.

[@robertdocholliday66sadler]

def i cant outrun you, sooo good

[@miamidolphinsfan]

also Some Girls Do

[@donnam5891]

Excellent ideas. & the Bruce Springsteen song Born in the USA ( some guitar in it too). Love it when Chance gets a 'chance' to shine.

[@Guurzak]

Chance actually has a bass range and sang main bass in another group before joining Home Free- he just sings baritone most of the time because Tim.

[@Halosmom6769]

They dropped a new video today, a Dire straits cover of brother in arms. It's a 5 part harmony, Rupp sings. Tim takes a deep bass lead. Oh and the person who sang Mayday originally was Cam, she is a country artist.

[@staceysmith8173]

I hope you guys buckeld in for this one. They sang this in the same key as Cam did. Tim and Chamce switched rolls in this Anytime Tim has the lead Chance is on the bass and they like to switch back and forth on the bass part and have hit us several times with a double bass part. Can't wait for you to do Brothers in Arms released today.

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

I’m 53 years young!!!! No apologies! Good music, is GOOD MUSIC!!!

[@robynmatheson7687]

They released a new video today, “Brothers In Arms”, a Dire Straits cover. It’s my favorite on their “Land of the Free” album. The 2 basses are front and center.

[@quiltie1774]

Do You Hear What I Hear. This is a must for all, but especially drummers! Adam arranged it. You will appreciate the percussion in this arrangement.

[@sjgavenger37]

Home Free released a new song today. Title is Brother's in arms.

[@deborahconley9276]

Listen to Tim and Peter Hollens sing Misty Mountain, then Austin and Tim sing My Maria in their backyard with their friends. Awesome!

[@brendagrothier967]

If you want originals do songs from their Dive Bar Saints Album.

[@margfried8796]

I'm so glad you waited. Your reaction was perfect! It's amazing what Tim can do with his 5+ octave range and what Chance can do with his 4-octave range. It gives Home free so much versatility. You actually have 5 tenors, 2 baritones, and 2 basses. Oh, I thought you were going to see the guys on Nov 2nd. I spoke to Adam R in UVIP and he said he arranged to get you tickets. He watches and likes you guys.

[@307Reacts]

Matt's gonna be there with Doobie! (Alex Rich, he filled in last time Chris was gone.) But YES! we will absolutely be there November 2nd!!

[@margfried8796]

[@margfried8796]

@@307Reacts oh I just remembered Texas Hill is opening for Home free in Wyoming. Another great group.

[@calliec7493]

Adam Rupp can be included as a third bass. Some off those tones that he creates are as low as Tim and Chance.

[@todderickson2435]

"What is happening?!" The perfect reaction to this song. 😄

[@bobbie1st]

Great reaction. I love this song and have never heard Cam sing it. Didn't even know this song. Well that's it for me for tonight. To be continued after work tomorrow.

Such uniquely talented individuals .... astonishingly amazing as a group ! Please let them stay together !

[@Dadabba]

Hi guys, I am a Voicetave Pentafry ( VoicePlay, Voctave, Pentatonix, Home Free ). I also love Jelly. Thank you for all your work, love to see you dumbstruck & you always brighten my mornings (Aussie time difference). I am also probably one of your older subscribers (late 50's). You have opened me to some music I wouldn't normally listen to, so I am returning the favour. Please do a Voctave reaction, they are SO far out of your wheelhouse! May I recommend their Disney Princess Medley. The sopranos will knock you on your arse!

[@ericsmith6963]

I am learning a lot about music and vocals by going through vocal coaches and reactors like you two who know something about music and life. You are keeping it real and it is great. Thanks.

[@307Reacts]

Nothing fake here lol sometimes just full blown ignorance but we are ever learning! So glad we could brighten your day with new knowledge! Much love!

[@donnajohnson8268]

I do love your love for others...you guys gove really on point advice....thanks!!

[@vickyneumann362]

I hit the like button before you guys even started yes I did! I love this of all of their songs with addition of When A Man Loves A Woman breathtaking and by Austin I do believe. Heartfelt reaction by both of you who really appreciate each one of their gifted vocals! Omg I am typing this and lost my trend of thought 💭 now about this lady who died in your highschool auditorium wth! Hello I am older then your average 18-35 yr old subs and no idea how to open a bottled beer without a bottle opener - sure looks like Matt has that mastered lol. Absolutely love Ronnies capturing of Matt’s reaction there in that replay! On to the next one 307 💯🇺🇸

[@leamescher3535]

Dudes. “Moonshine” by HomeFree will show off more of their skill. I love when they have a chance to trade off vocal parts. “Hunter Hayes Medley” is older but you get to hear Adam transition through the songs. Did not know about the lighter trick. Edge of a counter as close to a trick I ever tried. I was better at flicking bottle caps. Oh, to be young again. Thanks for keeping up with HomeFree. I know you say some of us just love the vocals…. But take Lane from Voiceplay. Classic Trained Violinist, Singer until taking over as beatboxer. And understanding they should be making videos learns about cameras and video Productions. To see these skills, check out Voiceplay “Warrior” which I believe he also arranged. These vocal group members are multitalented. And aside from writing and arranging, many play instruments (guitar/violin/cello, Piano/Keyboard, Trumpet, etc). Their talent is just plain refreshing. Each group found their niche and their joy and they seem to be able to be themselves without selling out or being some kind of gimmick or fake to fit into the idea of mainstream. It’s more than just vocals. BUT because I enjoy your reactions and camaraderie, I do check out some of the other stuff. Just saying…

[@judymelchert3966]

Mayday is my wake up song every morning. Their incredible harmony starts my day off positive

[@joechandler8398]

Good job! You noticed Rupp going crazy. I’ve watched several reactors experiencing this video you guys are the only ones to stop and hit that a second time. He is amazing and needs to be highlighted more often. Thanks!

[@peterericakaiser1717]

Great reaction, the original was done by Cam, but you know that already 😉. Home Free's secret weapons are not only Adam Rupp, but also that they have 5 tenors and 2 bass's, and they can all "beatbox" to some extent. I also enjoy the fact that the focus is on the song.

[@Husitka]

Also two baritones. :)

[@epiphany519]

By way of example the Boondocks / Fishing in the Dark mash up, AUSTIN does the harmonica. Yeah wrap your brain around that.

[@reginaminton1135]

Thank you for a great reaction. It surprised all of us the first time hearing it. I have seen it so many times and I think your reaction was amazing. Thanks again.

[@307Reacts]

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@nelliechisum3405]

Hey Matt and Chris, l just subscribed to your channel. I have watched all of your Home Free reactions. I think ya'll are awesome. Thank you for the breakdowns and information you provide us with. Don't worry about the lengthy pauses ya'll have. They just add to the experience.

[@teamalicia1244]

Also Chance was the bass in his last group street corner symphony before joining Home Free. He can do bass. For a Chance solo check out Home Free's Ican't outrun you.

[@xotinman0077]

I am soo glad that you got to this one. I love your reaction of how they switched it up a bit. Also I would love to hear your reaction to their song Snow Globe. I believe it's an original. Tim kills it

[@TheCaveman46]

If I remember correctly, the first time Chance flexed his bass muscles with Home Free was when he sang lead in their cover of Sawyer Brown's "Some Girls Do". I highly suggest you check that one out. He was previously the bass for "Street Corner Symphony".

[@thelivingmiracle]

The mics were in mono during the reaction for some reason

[@franwiththeredhair]

Is that why it sounds kinda weird? Almost like it is coming out of one side. I hear it in both but it is more prominent on one.

[@thelivingmiracle]

@@franwiththeredhair It was my first guess based on how it sounded. But I may be totally wrong

[@307Reacts]

Yeah, we noticed that on our upload too... Strange thing is they seem to drift in and out of stereo/mono, and the video isn't affected?? Definitely something new to us! Haha 😆 sorry guys, we appreciate you sticking through it with us!!

[@thelivingmiracle]

@@307Reacts I know basically zilch about the main issue. But I can definitely assume a reason as to why for the second issue. That being the camera recording you two and the audio of your mics is totally seperate of the computer that was recording the video. Causing the video to be unaffected by the issue of the mics

[@franwiththeredhair]

@@307Reacts I will always stick with you guys. You are my kinda people! Just hilarious and kind to the soul.

[@rebelpearl]

I saw them live for the first time last week. They put on a great show! Next week they are in WY, UT, and CO. They may not be near you but you might get a chance to see them. Check out their tour and if you can - go! Well worth it.

[@hamblinta]

You guys belong on radio with your own show!

[@trismische5044]

If you get a chance to listen to their new song " Brothers in Arms" it will give you chills. A very moving piece.

[@vinnieblair8576]

Thank you for waiting to do this one, it means so much more when you wait and get how much more important the vocals are in it. Also thanks for connecting with the lyrics of the song, it is so connected to most relationships.

[@lynnwood84]

This was the very first video of you guys that I watched, and I'll be completely honest . . . . the 'I can't believe it's not butter' line was 95% of the reason I subbed. Lmao, gets me every time.

[@307Reacts]

Hell yeah lol thanks for the sub Jamie we appreciate it more than you know!

[@KayOhio]

Isn’t this a great song! Home Free is such a superb group. Your reaction was great too! By the way, I’m one of your non-typical fans, over seventy. And love your channel (at last for Home Free) because I’m addicted to them.

[@juliestevens6931]

Many years ago, we did a combined choir celebration for ASCAP's 75th(?) Anniversary or something at Washington DC's National Cathedral. We had a dozen or so church choirs from all different denominations singing together. Singing music that was MEANT to be sung in a cathedral was AMAZING. I finally understood why the music had pauses in certain places - you needed them to let the notes reverberate thru the rafters!

[@katyb9532]

Every time I watch this reaction, the look on your faces is priceless! 😂

[@catofthecastle1681]

Cam is a female country singer, she wrote it and they sang it in her register!

[@pattymelt5525]

The reason why you had to wait is so that you could appreciate the roll reversals! You had to know their normal “roles”. Really enjoyed it!! 😉. New sub!

[@EyeofStormTarot]

Thank you so much for doing Home Free! ^i^

[@timothybuell3314]

Chance was originally the bass for Street Corner Symphony when they appeared on The Sing Off. He came into Home Free when Adam Rupp's brother Chris left.

[@vampiricunicorn791]

Home Free just dropped a new one called "Brothers In Arms." You want to hear Chance go low, this is a good one for that. And also Tim go subwoofer mode. Amazing.

[@teamalicia1244]

Adam Chance was the bass in his previous accapella group before joining Home Free.

[@conniedavis7469]

I love this group! And this is one of my many favorites, they have never disappointed me!!! 💕💕💕

[@dagmar.6954]

This is one of my favorites. So glad you waited to react to it. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original.

[@donnilloyd1355]

Adam Chance was the Bass Singer when he was in Street Corner Symphony. Another A Cappella Group.

[@jamiestrand4506]

And that is why this is their holy grail! It is sheer perfection! As was your reaction! You just get it (and us crazy Home Fries)😄

[@bettyjblake]

Late to this reaction. BUT this is exactly why us Home Fries recommend waiting to react to "Mayday". I love listening to this song without the video sometimes because there is so much ear candy and sweetness in here. Thanks for reacting to it! Great job!!!

[@ritatheresevaslag3198]

Great reaction guys. So much fun to see other people's reaction to this for the first time. Btw, loved what you said about checking in, and communicating. You should be on the Man enough podcast, with Justin Baldoni and cohosts 💖

[@samuellaskowski880]

you guys should check out the live version of this song too, they do a really cool breakdown that adds to the song!!

[@marciaramirez3791]

[@ginanowell8842]

Good advice! My husband and I just celebrated 40 years together. We check in at least once a day!

[@paganskye452]

Ground breaking isn't mind blowing? I just love watching you discover things you never expected. There are three groups that I listen to absolutely everything they do and many others that I'll listen to the songs/music that speaks to me. Groups I listen to? Home Free, Nickleback and The Moody Blues. Yeah, I know. Three very different sounds, but for some reason their music strikes a chord and resonates. I liked the original done by Cam, but the Home Free version just had something special. There is just something about the Home Free talents that makes things better. There have been a few songs Home Free has done that I never care for or even absolutely hated. I may not like the original or other covers, but the Home Free version just makes them more than they were. Am I making sense? Well done, guys. Really. One of these days I'm afraid one of you is going to fall off your chair. You know who I'm talking about. Don't you? Matt.

[@nikkibanning176]

This is a great reaction to such a poignant well done song. I'm with you listening to that "drum set" instead of Austen moment. These guys are all so talented.,🎃❤️

Gotta check our their cover of Dire Strairs Brothers in Arms. It is tremendous. Adam sings and does cool effects. Heavy in bass but BEAUTIFUL stacked harmonies and incredible runs!

[@marciabelack1910]

Thanks for the great reaction. There is a former member of Home Free that you should check out. Chris Rupp does a wonderful video of Amazing Grace and his range is very surprising.

[@AndieO]

Guys... do me a favor. Give your ladies a hug each from mama bwar. Tell them I said thank you for keeping you guys in a good head space. You guys are a major part of my sanity (it's been a rough couple of years), and your personalities remind me of a couple of people I've lost. You make me smile. Side track, I remember sitting in the back of a bus on the way home with friends, and we decided to do a quick run through of the songs we were performing. We didn't realize that we were projecting so loud til the bus driver asked us what else we knew...lol. said it was one of his best shifts. Hugs from Newfoundland.

Love your reaction! For more Chance lead start with “I Can’t Outrun You “…Chance also directed the video. For more gospel Rob, react to HF live at Hosanna concert 2013,”Joy To the World “. Rob goes full gospel, and the whole arrangement is fantastic…some ‘70’s R&B, some Cab Calloway jazz. It needs more exposure.

[@ruthcurfman7532]

"I Can't Outrun You" is one of my absolute favorites, both the music & the video.

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

I missed this one yesterday but I was out buying a case of that same beer you have there. (And no, I didn't drink it all, yet.) Another great reaction guys and I did sub tonight. I'm listening to a lot of Home Free reactions right now because I am prepping for the concert I get to go to next week. I saw them in 2019 and can't wait to hear them live again. I don't know what the set list will be but I know it will be GREAT.

In his defense Chance was the bass for Street Corner Symphony before coming to Home Free. The original artist is a lovely lady named Cam.

[@johnl2876]

Great reaction to an amazing song! Home Free never fails to deliver and they dropped a BOMB-shell of a song today with their "Brothers in Arms" Speaking of different genres, I also think you would enjoy anything from Nightwish, typically reactors start with "Ghost Love Score" from Wacken 2013. Keep it up guys!

[@ryanberry2880]

If you want to hear more of Chance singing bass, he used to sign bass for a group named street corner symphony. Their cover of madness makes pretty good use of his bass

Chance is probably my favorite, and you get to hear him shine so rarely. Its one reason I keep rewatching their Sea Shanty video, since he's the lead-in and gets to take lead quite a bit in it.

Chance was the bass in his previous acappella group, Street Corner Symphony. That group was on the Sing-Off as well, but I forget which season.

[@TheLadyDraconus]

I heard their latest "Brothers In Arms" I dropped this comment in their page but, as a veteran, that song hit me in the depths of my feels that I haven't felt in a long time. Memories of friends, brothers and sisters in arms that died on duty as well as from the mental scars of military service. It brought up so many memories that had me reminiscing the good times and the bad. I cried for the first time because of these memories in years. The video itself brought me back to my days as a Ceremonial Guardsman for our base Honor Guard performing funeral details and being given the opportunity to present a folded flag to the next of kin. Its a surreal experience to be in such an emotional situation and you can't express it.

[@lindagullian5548]
