I'm Speechless! Home Free "When A Man Loves A Woman" - First Time Hearing Reaction

[@cottonhiker]

We just witnessed a woman falling in love in 6 minutes and 6 seconds!?🥰🔥

[@cfmiles]

That stunned face right when Austin kicks in is priceless.......great video

[@deanwhite9590]

Not bad for a nearly 60 yr old song. It was fun watching you melt!!!

[@sheldoniusRex]

This song makes babies. Alone.

[@chucke728]

Thank you babe...as an old man...I can see LUV come out of a heart...you just did!! if I could swoun a woman like that...I would be the king of the world

[@z-man2343]

Some serious fangirling going on right here 😂

[@DyvmSlorm]

As I understand it, Home Free has many (all) members test out the lead and then decided who fits the song the best. For me, that is the joy of Home Free, they really focus on the song over the singer and bring an amazing sound to life.

[@brentfugett2700]

Well said. They truly are an ensemble. No detectable egos or overshadowing one over another. Love these guys.

[@roxybarforth2708]

I did a VIP and during Q&A I asked how they decided on who sung lead and Tim said it's pretty much who gets to the studio first

[@stephanginther9051]

That's true though I heard that this one was different. Apparently Tim Faust has been pestering and badgering Austin to do this song for years but for some reason Austin wouldn't do it. That's what I heard anyway.

[@patriciamcl54]

@@stephanginther9051 Austin felt he wouldn't be able to do the song justice. The success of his own solo career seems to have given him new confidence and there has been a great change in his voice for the better. There's also the Amberly factor - Austin and his gf are so totally in love that I think he felt that he knew how to handle it. The sorry mess of his love life for several years previously would tend to put anyone off singing about love!

[@chucke728]

were u on of the re/ex? Can,,,or can u do any .......more....send it.....or put a sok in it.....!!!!!

[@kevincalvert8439]

I think you just fell into the Home Free rabbit hole and welcome aboard. They don't have a song you won't like love your reaction. You are the best.

[@tonycamacho66]

The expression on your face, when he initially started singing, would absolutely qualify as a Kodak moment. Yes, I'm old...Lmao.

[@deanwhite9590]

Molly, it's called an eargasm!!

[@bob-the-Millwright]

When Home free sings this song it is never long enough.

[@jameshutton2587]

How you reacted says it all!!!!!!!! Loved your real candid, who you are type of woman, let it all hang out!!!!

[@DeansMayhem]

One thing that I really respect about Home Free is their support of each other. It's a wonderful thing.

[@mikepearson8989]

... You weren't ready to react to this were you!! Your face exuded shock and satisfaction 👌👌 Loved this reaction and the song. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions!!

[@johnwillis4706]

My dear young girl, this is not Micheal Bolton's song. It belongs to the late great, immortal Percy Sledge. Micheal Bolton is one of many to cover this song, This cover is on another level, I see Percy Sledge smiling down from heaven. And if you notice he is sitting down in this performance.

[@chamberlainwonder369]

That song is a ball as great as it get.

[@gracielee4561]

Not only is it the way that Austin sings this but it's also the way he looks into the camera. It's like he's looking at you! Makes me feel like a twenty year old again!

[@lindanearing4710]

Austin crushed this with his beautiful sky high tenor. The gorgeous harmonies supporting all throughout, and Adam Rupp's beat boxing/vocal percussion was fabulous. They now own this song. Yes. They can take your breath away. Home Frees' music has brought me to tears many times. I totally understand. I have laugh/cried from the joy of their music. There is no ego in Home Free. They all record the leads and solos except for Adam Rupp) and then decide what is going to work the best to make the best music they can produce.

[@brettsteele7386]

I agree with all your points. The best ever. Perfect.

[@darylsnowden5256]

Percy Sledge put this song out I think in the 60's, he did a great job too.

[@edwinsemidey1992]

This is so TRUE , I've even said this to my kids.

[@donnac7912]

Not ridiculous!! We all know the only thing better than hearing Austin sing is getting to WATCH Austin sing! He just radiates Joy!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Another masterpiece from HF!! Home Free and Home Fry forever!! Ty for your reaction!

[@glennspreeman1634]

when you have a2 sopranos, 5 altos, 5 tenors, 2 basses, and a couple beat boxers, the wealth of talent is off the charts!!

[@michaelconroy1906]

Welcome Homefry. Your eyes said it all.

[@lindaslater7782]

How does Austin look so relaxed when he's belting out this song? Well, that's just Austin...beautiful voice, very nice looking, and he smiles with emotion. Thank you for reacting to Home Free. Just subscribed.

[@cheryll.cornishkinnaman1897]

I have loved this acapella group since the first time I heard them. I would give anything to be able to attend one of their concerts.

[@davidpost428]

Yes, this performance just rocked you and it's great to see such surprise!

[@Quizzy0000]

one of the best reactions to this video imo this is why i watch the reaction video's :D

[@dagmar.6954]

Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.

[@rayniecox7683]

@Dagmar S, couldn't have said it better, thanks.😎😎😎😎

[@loriloy7097]

You did it again my fellow Home Fry loving your comments thank you! I just found Molly she's really good I love her honesty and pure joy!

[@stanleyarnstrong3871]

This is the bass doing the lead vocals.. Tim is impressive

[@carlosbrown9144]

Pntx is better. Haven’t heard much from home free but this one is is good.

[@itzel1735]

@@carlosbrown9144 I think of them as different. PTX is a Cosmo in a martini glass. Home Free is a cold beer in a can. Both can be satisfying.

[@bobs1648]

Yep, Austin did it again... I now pronounce y'all husband and wife. 🤣

[@bernieregnier4500]

Home Free is exquisite and they are very intentional about reaching the soul of the listener and viewer of their performances whether video or live in person, They have a nack of identifying with their audience with that which ties to our personal lives. It happens the first time everytime someone new has the chance to be a first time contact with their performances. They are that dedicated. I really don't listen much to anyone else anymore because they have such a diverse genre of music they can perform which reaches to all of the music spectrum that I personally enjoy. They are not a one trick pony, they surprise us with every delivery they extend our way. Go Home Free, carry on..........

[@hord81]

Love your reaction ❤ Man loves a woman ! Wow ! Powerful 🙌🏻

[@alfredh3071]

So CUTE! I just loved watching you go all jello! This is a song that just brings out the fan-girl in every woman, and intelligent discerning man too. I’m watching again

[@phyllisb4634]

It's gotta be good when it gives you the giggles. Great reaction.

[@edrocheck9730]

[@denise_landry]

Your reaction was priceless! Loved it. Thanks!!💙🍟

[@deanm375]

Your reaction to this performance is absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing.

[@chris...9497]

I've been hopping around on KZbin checking out this group performing this song to see what reactors felt about it. And I've come across a few ladies totally enraptured with it. There was even one reactor doing the reaction with his retired parents listening in, and his mama was floored. She likely grew up listening to the original, and I know her husband was going to get 'lucky' later that night. And I can see you were affected similarly. I should also mention, also in line with the deep emotionality of this performance, that two reactors I came across, macho black men in their late 20s or early 30s whose woman had just left them, were literally left in tears. They struggled to get through the song, because it reached into the very heart of their recent experience in love. So this song and this performance is full of true experience. Yeah, with Austin's first syllable, the power in this is established and unrelenting. The backup is perfect, providing places of strength for each lyric launch. And you were fun to watch trying to take in and digest the power of it. I have to wonder how much you blushed while listening to this, because you KNEW your reaction was authentic, honest, and unhidden. And thank you for your courage in doing so. You could have broken up the barrage with pauses, but you went straight through. Kudos, girl. So enjoyed this. So loved living this vicariously through you. Keep it up!

[@LAAvgRay]

You are who this music is made for, the average music lover. I have a feeling that your stomach was doing flips, especially when Austin gave those sultry looks into the camera. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Eclipce_are_cool336]

The whole group is awesome😊

[@kirkmcmillan1974]

Molly, it's not a long song, but you should check out their cover of CSN's "Helplessly Hoping". It's hauntingly beautiful.

[@scottdarden3091]

She will love it

[@kevin-5641]

Helplessly Hoping is in my opinion the best cover Home Free has done. And that's saying a lot.

[@markhilliard4037]

@@kevin-5641 That is a stunning song, one of the best Home Free has ever done, and THAT is really saying something

Perfect reaction Molly! Yeah no ego's in Home Free they been together so long that they know everyone and I mean every member has something to offer! In Honor of our Memorial Day could you do a very special cover by Home Free? Home Free - Go Rest High On That Mountain (Official Music Video) - Vince Gill

[@rodconner9079]

Yes! Yes! Yes! ---- Exactly ..... and then some. I do remember when Bolton came out with his version... and oh my!!! But this -- THIS tops all and honestly don't know that it could ever be performed better. Yeah -- could see in the (your) expression, the emotion --- mixed but in a good way! HF has that uncanny ability to bring "it" out. Truly enjoyed that 100%. Be Safe

We all long to be loved so powerfully by someone that they overlook all of our flaws and only see the best in us.

Austin has a very powerful voice. All of them can lead in this group and do it well, their harmonies are great, and their beatboxer is great. Home Free does make you feel good to listen to them.

Perfect way to do this. Beautiful smile to boot. Thanks 😊

[@shelleylanders140]

I had to go to the doctors appointment a couple weeks ago. I told him at the end of appointment about Home Free's version of this song and so I playedhi. Part then fast forward a little to Austin's high note at the end he heard too. Now we've got a new home fry

[@Rabessey]

"My Maria" My new favorite. Love the vocal stops and synchronized vibrato. Amazing song

[@loriloy7097]

Hi Molly, I'm a new subscriber so happy I found you! Hopefully is definitely pure joy! And they're funny if you've never seen Hillbilly Bone you must that shows their real selves it was actually filmed I believe on Tim's property and those are his animals and I love the fact they always put their friends and family in them. Oh and the butts remix is hilarious! They love each other so much and work hand in hand. If you ever have a chance to see them live do it I've seen them at the Florida strawberry festival and watch many videos I've been at home Fry for years and years. My sister-in-law that was battling cancer loved them and we would lay in bed together and watch the videos and laugh and cry together they got us both through it! May God bless you with your disability and illness! Thoughts and prayers are with you! And yes Home Free they are ridiculous and they do not do a cover unless they can blow it out of the park which is you well know they do every time!

[@JulieLWilliams]

The Butts Remix, All About That Bass, and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget are great, hilarious songs.

[@huckle1953]

I have watched your reaction to this performance several times. There is something very alluring about how you become so mesmerized to Austin Browns voice. Thank you.

[@brblanch7]

Hello Molly Bee. I'm very hopeful that you've reached a awareness of just how powerful Love is in our lives. After your stupendous reaction to this version of this song, I'm blown away because I believe you just grew measurably in your awareness of just how powerful Music also is in our lives. Thanks so much for this reaction, & hopefully many more to come.

My fave cover of all time also 🔥💯🔥💜💜🤌🏻😎😎🤌🏻

[@patriciaboehringer5028]

That is the way with Home Free and any of their songs you forget completely that they're an acapella group and there are no instruments. That is how good they are you can't go wrong with any of their songs they don't do covers they do upgrades and there is no egos they just want to make the best music

[@shihansensei983]

I've seen quite a few reactions of yours, along with many other reactors ... I have to say that your reaction made me watch yours a couple of times... not only for the great performance, which it is, rather, to selfishly enjoy your imparted emotions. Know that connections made through great music is a very personal experience and yours to this song by Austin was certainly worth a few watches. The ecstatic joy you were feeling was fully transmitted through your most honest way, which gives others a small look into your true personality. Thank you for allowing us voyeurs to join in, along with your enthusiasm. I wish you much wellness and may God Bless!

[@tomholmes735]

Percy Sledge first recorded this song in 1966 from a studio in Alabama.........It was VERY famous song back then as well!!!

[@kumasenlac5504]

6:09 Yes, ma'm you have, indeed, been hit by a love truck. Just sit here quietly at the curb - the medics will be along soon. Try to remain calm and understand what just happened. If it's any consolation this sort of thing can happen to any kind of people, any ages, any interests, any backgrounds. You're not alone.

[@gatorbayou17]

I don't usually subscribe to people who do reaction videos but for you I'll make an exception. You're the second one on my list. An honest reaction to a beautiful Percy Sledge classic, redone by Michael Bolton then this version which in my opinion is the best by far the best.

[@tomhansen4576]

What a spectacular heartfelt reaction Molly. HF has done a lot of amazing romantic songs recently that you should also react too; Bless The Broken Road, Amazed, One Man Band, Make You Feel My Love, and a couple older videos of Die A Happy Man and Cover Me Up which are just terrific also. Knowing how joyous you felt with this, most HF performances provide that warm, peaceful, and joyous feeling when you listen to them.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Well add one more to Austin's list of slayed ladies.....he just does it everytime. Percy Sledge did the original back in 1966. Home Free takes a song & they demo it, and decide who sings it the best, and then go with it. Never heard of any disagreements, and it's usually pretty much unanimous. These guys seem to have not much ego....it's what's best for Home Free, not themselves. I'd like to give you a few more recommendations from Home Free.... One-Man Band, Amazed, Dive Bar Saints (an original), Born in the USA, Sea Shanty Medley. Make you feel my love (a Valentines Day gift to the ladies, it's humorous), and American Pie (featuring Don McLean original artist, for the song's 50th anniversary)

[@minneyruth]

💯❤️ lol

[@unluckydiablo9502]

Yup, we lost another one!

[@patriciamcl54]

This one was different - Tim had been telling Austin for years to do the song. When he finally felt able to put his own spin on it, there was no question of demos or discussion, or anyone else trying out for it, they accepted from the off that he would slay it. As he did.

[@Yotraj]

It's actually more fun watching a "regular person's(?)" reactions. Nicely done!

[@ShaunComnerley-zi3xr]

Love the smiles on people's faces when they hear Home free sing because im the same way

[@Mathblade]

I remember the original by Percy Sledge in 1966. Ladies at the time had much the same reaction to the song as you did now :-) Austin has a once in a generation tenor voice--I've never been disappointed hearing him sing. Thanks for the reaction. The original is also worth a listen. I like to compare covers to the original artist's version. For instance Dimash covered Adagio, originally sung by Lara Fabian, and listening to Lara's 1999 version showed me why Dimash thinks of her as one of his idols.

[@davidphillips4476]

This is my absolute favorite singing performance of theirs. Austin just SLAYS this!! This is emotional, powerful, and reaches the soul. This song always makes me feel better every time I hear it!!

[@shelleyparsons5735]

"When a Man Loves a Woman" is a song written by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright and first recorded by Percy Sledge in 1966 at Norala Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama. I'm afraid Michael Bolton is also a cover. This song has been around for a LONG time.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Your reaction is so natural…. Keep doing it! ❤

[@parrychapman7703]

This song has a very primal connection with most women. Without them even realizing it, it strikes a cord deep within their psyche and stirs their soul. Some would say it fuels their desire and kickstarts the libido in some women. I can see that. All from something as simple as music. It amazes me how music can have the power to touch people in such a way. It absolutely does though.

I'll join those suggesting you listen to Percy Sledge. More importantly I have spent many hours on music history, harmonic theory and playing scales but all that actually matters is that music moves us to tears or laughter or contemplation. Sometimes alone but wonderfully sometimes emotionally connected. Thank You for your shared love of music!

[@georgevahey3034]

Bolton's version is probably the best known (came out in the 70s, I think). Percy Sledge was the original recording artist in 1962 and the composer & lyricist were black, of course, which explains the depth of this Soul song. Can we just agree that Home Free's background vocals, their always impeccable harmonies, & Austin Brown's outstanding tenor blend of chest, head, & mixed voice (he was a voice/musical theater major in college, remember?) make this the best studio-enhanced a capella version?

[@anitawright7169]

This is an awesome rendition of this song. Austin and Home Free give it more than justice! Love your reaction. Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! Check out their cover of End of The Road by Boyz II Men it is awesome. They have so many songs - Man of Constant Sorrow, Elvira with the Oakridge Boys, How Great Thou Art. Countless Christmas songs and silly songs such as Make You Feel My Love, Never Going to Give You Up, Hillbilly Bone and so many more. Love you reaction!
