I Love This! Home Free "Unchained Melody" (A Capella) - First Time Hearing Reaction!

[@dagmar.6954]

The Righteous Brothers had a big hit with "Unchained Melody" in 1965. Home Free did such a beautiful rendition of this classic song. They added an old school doo-wop feel to it. The video in prison is very fitting as this song was originally written for the 1955 prison film "Unchained". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or finishing his sentence and returning to his wife & family.

Tremendous vocals ! Man ! ... ❤❤❤

[@WearingTheArmor]

I think adding the doo-wop style was perfect for this song as it originated in the '50s (for the prison-themed movie "Unchained") and Tim's voice in the beginning really set the mood. Loved your reaction! I like to see "non vocal coaches" react because they/you will give more of a true reaction to the message and "feel" of the music. I'd bet you would like some of Tim's solo work from his new doo-wop album "Pieces Of Me", where he does all of the vocal and effect layers himself. There are three releases of it on KZbin..

[@miamidolphinsfan]

The original song & movie were set in a prison in 1955. This is Home Free doing their homework

[@nethanelmasters5170]

The frist version was sang by Todd Duncan in the movie of unchained 1955. And the video of him singing this song is on YOU TUBE. Many other artist have done it over the years.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

They are Amazing

[@donaldsmith283]

Thanks for playing Home Free. I haven't heard that version from them before. Awesome

[@robertkrouse9478]

Thank you. More Home Free please.

[@denise_landry]

💙💙💙

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

If you check out Austin's Channel....he did a cover of this as well....but the whole Home Free version is fantastic.

[@kristindunstan172]

Austin Brown, the second soloist in this song, has an amazing solo version of this song. I hope you continue to do more Home Free on your channel. We Home Fries (Home Free fans) will binge your Home Free reactions whenever we find you. I only recently found you through your reactions to them. I wold love to see you react to End of the Road. Never Gonna Give You Up is a really fun one along with their Country Fried Pop Medley.

[@brendagrothier967]

Hearing Tim's bass in the beginning was music to my ears....loved this version.

[@kenhall5551]

An excellent analysis of this classic, I love your phrase, "nostalgic on so many levels" Loved the reaction, Molly!

[@glennspreeman1634]

like that Austin didn't try to imitate Bobby's real high ending but did it his way. both great, not one and not the other.

[@MichaelSimmons.]

So nice to see you back with a Home Free reaction. If you'd like a recommendation, they did a great version of Lonestar's, Amazed, and has a really cute video to go with it. Great job.

[@lindanearing4710]

My absolute favorite rendition of this song. So unique and creative. Tim having the opening solo, then transitioning to Austin was perfect. The harmonies were beautiful as they always are and Adam's percussion was on point. I especially liked his drums building in intensity and volume right before Austin's iconic high note, it felt like a launching pad for that note. The gritty prison setting for the video was perfect visuals and stayed with the original theme of the song. The music and visuals both evoke the misery, longing and loneliness conveyed by the theme of the song. Our guys covered yet another classic song and made it their own. Home Free are wonderful. Love them. "Ain't Goin' Down Til' The Sun Comes Up" an awesome video by Home Free. It's only on Facebook due to a copyright issue. Having the video backwards makes it look weird. ???? Glad I've seen the video dozens of times cause I can't look at it like that.

[@garrycreech956]

I love your dolphin.as I'm a pirate always raising my colors to sail to a new place. I go by many names.!! My baby sister calls me a free spirit.ive so enjoyed watching your platform. I don't expect you to react to my endearments as I could be your grandfather. I have no children or heirs. But I find watching you so much fun. Your something special....makes me happy

[@Tribblepuppy]

All that matters with your reaction is that you enjoyed the song, we are here for your reaction. Bless The Broken Road is a HF song I think you would enjoy. Also Do You Hear What I Hear is one of my very favorites. Thanks for the reaction. ✌️

[@conniestone2806]

You're great! Thanks! Another loyal Home Free fan here! Been to six live shows and they just are incredible guys! Have you heard their version of Crazy? Love that song anyway and they just bring it home. They are fun and funny guys too. If you feel like watching them do anything to give you a little laugh, watch like You Need My Love or Working For a Living. There are so, so many great ones. Take care.

[@babyfry4775]

Home Free went back to the roots of the song. It was written for the movie Unchained about prison in 1955. Loved Tim (bass) and Austin’s solos. Loved the black and white film and the typewriter. So well done. Good reaction MB. 😀

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Loved the reaction 😀😊 This song is 🔥

[@GaiaOne]

Another homfredian gem. This song has always belonged to Bobby Hatfield. I never thought anyone could dethrone him. But damn, they did it. It belongs to Home Free now.

[@tomhansen4576]

Molly, during the past year HF has released a lot of material that is exceptional and this is one of their more recent ones, but they have some really great songs that you need to check out. When A Man Loves A Woman, Amazed, One Man Band, Bless The Broken Road, Mary Did You Know, Make You Feel My Love, and Brothers in Arms, to name just a few. Your viewership and subs will rise significantly if you do more HF reactions. The Home Fries will support you.

[@GaiaOne]

Oh Lord, yes. It's ridiculous. You start reacting more often to Home Free, and the Fries will show up en masse. As long as you're OK with most of your subscribers identifying with Idaho tubers, you should be fine.

[@pamdimitrio4972]

Please

[@JerryS2485]

Wow!

[@professorbugbear]

I love that they did a prison theme as the song was originally written for a prison movie "Unchained."

[@minneyruth]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@miamidolphinsfan]

You really should react to their cover of Amazed, the 1999 Lonestar hit.....it's just too pretty & the story of the video is also amazing

[@vickiadkins9844]

Ty for reacting to this masterpiece by HF!! I subscribed because of these guys!! Lol!! Appreciate it!

[@stanrock2225]

They just never miss on a song.

[@johnclibbens6803]

Unchained Melody was written as the theme for a 1955 prison movie called Unchained. I love this version (though Bobby Hatfield’s is still the best…).

[@GaiaOne]

Yeah, I thought so too when this first dropped. Then I listened again to Bobby Hatfield singing it, and damn. I had to change my mind. It belongs to Home Free now. No dis to Bobby, though. It took more than 50 years for anyone to outsing him.

[@MyLorissa]

@@GaiaOne I totally agree!

[@debbienorris7307]

Enjoyed your “average music appreciation” reaction-as most of us are. More HF plz!!

[@pamdimitrio4972]

I love your dolphin! I have an Orca named Shamu, and whale named Waylon, a lama named Rama....you are adorable my fellow home fry!

[@stevenpugsley2557]

This song reminds me of when I was deployed overseas. The wanting to be home, the wanting to be with your love, you hoping she’ll wait for you, deal with lack of communication ( no cell phones then) and separation. You wait for letters like a starving man for a meal. You just want to go home. In my case, she didn’t wait.

[@didiwin3]

This was good. as with everything that Home Free does. I listen to a lot of the “big 3” acapella groups and I had not heard this one and was unexpected because Austin does this as a solo and was unaware that all of Home Free had also done it. If u want a different take that is absolutely one u gotta see (even if u don’t react to it) this song is also done by Voiceplay ft John Pinto jr. love it. Great reaction Keep em coming

[@marlahudgins7038]

My favorite all time song + My favorite all time band = HEAVEN.. The guys are in jail because they killed this song!

[@rodconner9079]

I've truly enjoyed your reactions to HF. You're honest, genuine, and up-front. Reactions doesn't take "experience" in the industry --- but we do enjoy those too! :) Honestly, we want to see if you have the same expression we, ourselves, had. I'd love to see your reactions to even more HF ... but I've been stuck on them for 7yrs now and it doesn't seem to be letting up. If you find something ya don't like ... I'm more than willing to listen to that too. I can't tell you what to like or not. Till next time ---- Be Safe

[@kareng1894]

Thank you ^_^

[@duaneedwards4189]

This is a great cover and your reaction was super. I hope you reaction to their cover of "The Driver". You will love it, too.

[@kevincalvert8439]

Today Home Free's new release is THE DRIVER

[@softshoes]

One of my favorite covers by Home Free. Other than starting with Tim's lover register they stayed true to Bobby. Wonderful reaction, I hope you don't leave the boys for to long. Makes you want to toss a hunk of clay on the wheel yes?

[@Lobo53]

Expressing your thoughts and feelings is a more rewarding review experience for the watcher many times over the analytical review. 😉🌹

[@garyhughes5480]

Austin did a solo cover of this and it was awesome

[@nightthornkvala94132]

If you like do-wop I think you'd like Tim Foust's all do-wop CD called Pieces of Me Vol 1. He's put 3 songs to video: In My Room, Come Go With Me, and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. It's a solo album; all the voices, high and low, are Tim's and all the songs are fantastic.

[@victorcowboywest]

There are some 1,500 renditions of this song, some of the artists included Elvis, The Supremes, Al Hibler and Roy Hamilton. They are paying homage to the 1955 movie "UNCHAINED " where Todd Duncan introduced the song.

[@Yotraj]

You really should try their version of "Man of Constant Sorrow"...... it's just excellent.

[@jwhiteuk]

Lovely cover of this beautiful song. I love to hear new interpretations of classic songs as it keeps the songs fresh and current, however I'm yet to hear a cover of Unchained Melody that beats the Righteous Brothers (or more specifically Bobby Hatfield's) 1965 cover. Incidentally it was originally produed as a 'B' side to a Righteous Brothers single record called 'Hung on You', however it was Unchained Melody that took the record to the top of the singles charts. Also, the song was originally written as a soundtrack from a film called 'Unchained' which was set in a prison, so Homefree did their research and your comment about the video being set in a prison was bang on the mark! Have a great day pretty lady! :)

[@michaelriley8101]

Austin Brown does a solo cover of this. Excellent.

[@marshac7738]

I know this song hearkens back to the mid-century movie called “Unchained” and they portray it fabulously in this video, but I do hate seeing our guys behind bars. 😕 However, they can definitely "emote" through their music/videos better than just about anyone else out there!! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@dianeritthaler7792]

David Phelps does a great cover of this song. Its different but beautiful

[@keithsibley8270]

Homefree do it like the movie

[@george217]

You might like their cover of "In the Blood "...

[@peters2614]

Why did you mirror the video?

[@joanwharff6483]

Now, go to Austin Brown’s channel, here on KZbin & check out his solo version of this, he did last year…it has 9.5 MILLION VIEWS so far…kinda went viral 🥰❤️‼️ His version is Really Awesome ‼️. Also, this year, he finally did … “BRING HIM HOME”… from Les Miserables…it’s just purely AMAZING ‼️🥰‼️ He is classically trained in musical theatre. And, his voi shows for it.

[@nethanelmasters5170]

Joan Wharff. Tim did a solo of it before Austin did his. They combined both their versions into this great one.

[@dickywalker6288]

You look beautiful

[@Mathblade]

Thanks for the reaction, I didn't realize they covered this song until now. I love hearing Home Free's harmonies and arrangements. ...But how about something completely different? Please consider Zaz singing her 2010 hit "Je Veux" (trans. 'I want,' or 'I insist on' ) I hear this as a song of joy and rebellion. Yes, it's in French, but this YT video is recorded as a "street performance" and has English subtitles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppumkqd9m7-Lb68

[@invecta18]

Hi Molly, This was great and I am right there with you That was outstanding. I think you will ready enjoy Mayday by Home Free . Mayday was written by a female (CAM) and is a female country song in her version I think you will really like it. May Day is a rather popular request and for some unknown reason, a portion of the commenters suggest waiting to listen to it. There is really nothing special about May Day except the singers trade parts ,. As if that is some big, big big deal ? Perhaps if you were still in 7th grade, it might mean something ? That is just a really a dumb suggestion and to think that you would not notice or even be concerned in any way just seems foolish. . Thanks Molly We love you. With love from Florida kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ_Sh2idg6lsnZI

Very good but not as good as Bobbie Hatfield
