Music Teacher Reacts: HOMEFREE - Mayday

[@CechKris]

You missed the main reason why this song is "always" suggested. Tim - the first singer - is a super bass singer. He hit F1 in some songs. And his change of vocal range in this song is always shock.

[@margfried8796]

This is why most HF fans suggest reactors not do Mayday until they know the guys and their ranges well. I hate when this happens.

[@justinthompson7623]

Yep, I was waiting for him to realize it was Tim singing in the tenor range.

[@wendischambach6181]

In addition to the bass singer starting the song out in falsetto head voice, he also wraps the song while singing the "tenor duet" with Rob at the end as they fade out. I'm always in awe of vocal range like this. Plus I echo other comments regarding Adam's beatboxing, truly some of the best talent out there and this song showcases a lot of it, especially in the bridge.

[@blairkimberlin3447]

he has actually hit a B0 growl in the Boondock/Fishing in the Dark video and i love his Tim Foust Vibration video!

[@Qmocean]

It also ruins the surprise that is Chance's bass hits in this song too. Shame on whoever did this lol

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

Adam Rupp is the beatboxer. He’s won the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP for beatboxing TWICE. He’s widely considered the finest beatboxer in the world right now, bar none. And he’s totally SELF-TAUGHT.

[@tarjaikola]

Sorry to disappoint you, but Adam has never competed internationally. He has won two local sweepstakes in Midwest over ten years ago. Anyways, he is the best🥰

[@BsauceyMichael]

I don't think Adam won GBB but correct me if I'm wrong

[@andrewarnold9751]

Adam is awesome. Truly awesome. But he’s never won (or even entered) the World Bestbox Championships.

[@hellefur6631]

Many acapella groups are great, some even fantastic, but Home Free are magic. They can something special with their voices/ harmonies/ percussion blend, that make them stand out as one off a billion.

[@pinky2245]

I agree, Home Free is THE BEST!! Better than any other acapella group like Voiceplay, and I don't even like Pentatonix at all!

[@hellefur6631]

@@pinky2245 I enjoy all 3 groups, but HF is my absolute favorit.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Tim Foust (the bass) is also a songwriter. To hear his range, watch the Home Free video "Snow Globe". Austin Brown (high tenor) is also a songwriter and there is a video of one of his original songs "Love Me Like That". Rob Lundquist has such a sweet, soulful tenor and it's best displayed in a collaboration between Home Free & Texas Hill "Dreamer". Fall down the Home Free rabbit hole - it's a fun fall!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

This is one of my favorite songs Home Free does. It is gorgeous. I listen several times each time I do listen to it. Rob used to study opera. (The one who looks like your barber.)

[@michaelreynolds1308]

Tim the starting lead is one of the deepest voices in music and here he’s a tenor

[@christineschutten8101]

Mind blowing, indeed!

[@matthewireland1125]

Adam Rupp produces the most accurate percussion in acapela in my opinion. You should check out his Drum Solo videos.

[@Nightsmaiden]

The complete change between Tim and Chance is one of my favorite things about this song. Chance picking up Tim's tricks and rocking it. So glad you checked it out! Definitely look at other songs of theirs if you want interesting arrangements. Also, shocked that I got first comment! Eee!

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

You win! Not sure what I can award you... uh.... how about this coaster? Ya, that sounds dope haha. It's a dope coaster though, I swear ;)

[@Nightsmaiden]

@@TempleMusicAcademy I will happily accept the coaster. And more reactions to Home Free, if possible. Some that have a lot going on with the arrangements are the Sea Shanty Medley (obviously, because medley), Elvira (because more voices), and Good Ol' Country Harmony (because harmonies). :-J

[@chemislife]

@@Nightsmaiden I haven't looked through the list of songs he has already covered but If he hasn't checked out "helplessly hoping" that song is nothing BUT harmonies threw the whole song (and even has Adam singing)

[@debs4573]

This group has only gotten better with time. And they blew everyone away when they were first 'discovered' on the Sing Off! Just a great, great group with astounding talent.

[@chrismorin1318]

Another interesting fact... the original artist Cam is female and Home Free performed this in the same key that she did. Most of the time the guys stick to 4 part harmony plus Adam Rupp the beatboxer. Adam actually has a very nice tenor voice but usually sticks to banging out the percussion. They don't call him The Freak of Nature for no reason. They recently did a Sea Shanty Medley that is astounding! Deep rumbling bass, awesome harmonies and Adam adds castanets to his repertoire of inhuman noises that he can imitate. Thanks for the reaction!

[@matthewkruse5536]

Hard to beat his harmonica in Man of Constant Sorrow.

[@KCohere33]

I love the Sea Shanty Medley. I gets me pumped lol

[@sandym6760]

Sea Shanty Medley is what got me started on this Rabbit Hole ... and I thank my sister every day that she sent it to me!! I, too, think this should be a 'later' one to introduce people to, simply because of the jaw dropping moment when you realize that TIM is singing the first part ... and then getting to hear Chance bring the low bass!!

[@chrismorin1318]

@@sandym6760...I usually try to catch reactors new to Home Free and tell them to PLEASE hold off on Mayday until they have a fairly good working knowledge of the group's dynamics and that it'll be worth the wait. I know how much more I appreciated it by waiting.

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

I think the most stunning thing about this arrangement is Tim never goes low. He's in his highest possible range for the entire song.

[@JoeJBuddha]

You gotta understand. This group has no divas. It's all for one. They even pushed back on the Sing Off to let Rob take the lead. I'm a bit of a performer, and I've never known a group to have each other's back like this. Awesome.

[@ilovemuscle5354]

yes as I have seen this performed in person. There was a bit of prouction helpers but this is mostly them. People think of them "oh yeah Home Free guys are just a bunch of country bumpkins" and never give them a chance at all. Rhey are talented and professional vocalists. 4 of the 5 have college degrees in either music theory or musical theatre

[@2wheels298]

Did you see them when they did a beat box breakdown in this song ?? I did and I got a tear in my eye... Thy are so so good..

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

One of the reasons that Home Free fans suggest this song (after a reactor is familiar with the group) is the shock of hearing their "super bass" Tim Foust start this out in a tenor range. (displaying the high end of his 5+octave range) And the fact that Chance then takes the bass part and drops it right in the basement.

[@sjenny5891]

A lot of reactors are more of a shock and awe though. I like the way he's more focused on style and precision. More like a teacher picking out the dynamics of the song rather than the people singing it. It's really cool listening to it again after when you're listening for the things he's pointed out.

[@lynfl9814]

Everyone of the guys in Home Free is fabulously talented. It is why they are so successful and loved as a group. Plus, they are really nice guys; all with a wonderful sense of humor. In the Sea Shanty Medley, you can't stop smiling.

[@brendagrothier967]

I think it was suggested because their bass Tim started out in his high octave. And Adam the beat boxer always kills it. And everyone is singing in their high ranges. And Chance had the surprise bass solo.

[@johnhutchison936]

I kind of like that he didn't pick up on that. We Homefries sometimes get so caught up in the "surprise" that we overlook the fact that this is an amazing cover, better than the original IMO.

[@kathyastrom1315]

It’s a nice contrast to Sea Shanty Medley, where they are all in their low ranges.

[@isaiahbangura4421]

@@johnhutchison936 It's cause you have to listen to most of their other songs then Mayday comes later. You have to wait for Mayday.

[@DanloRingess]

Definitely all a capella. The percussion that Adam Rupp is capable of is absolutely amazing. He keeps it going for almost 8 minutes on their recent cover of American Pie (released for the 50th anniversary of the song and featuring the original singer/songwriter Don McLean) - well worth listening to. They also recently released a Sea Chantey medley where Adam actually manages to "play" castanets at one point.

[@bethcoussou]

I’m so happy you recognized the talent of Adam Rupp (the beatboxer extraordinaire)! Most reactors notice Tim singing way above his bass range, but you hear the excellent percussionist! Not surprised, though! Of course, he’s been at it for almost 21 years! This is one of their best covers, though! The layering, and everything about it is excellent! So glad you’ve recognized their talent and will hopefully react to more of their videos! They’re definitely my favorite A Capella group! I also love Voice Play.

[@alanward9660]

One of my favorite Home Free covers! Tim with his crazy high notes for a bass voice and Chance dropping down just shows off their versatility. Beatboxing here is simply astounding as well! Please do more HF and Voiceplay as well.

[@ryanellsworth7246]

Home Free is famous for their cascading octave splits. It's their signature. Austin goes high while Tim cruises for the basement. It's always spectacular.

[@leadabo]

HOME FREE is Adam Rupp, the incredible phenomenal Freak of Nature, beatboxer (Adam) Chance, the delightful Charming Crooner, Baritone/Bass Austin Brown, “Sweet sassy Badass” High Tenor Rob Lundguist, the soulful Bearded Wonder, tenor Tim Foust, the intense 5 octave playful subwoofer Along with Darren Rust, “magic man” producer And Retired founding member Chris Rupp, full gentle baritone

[@LoRyder]

I watch a lot of voice teachers reactions to songs, and you are the first one to clearly explain the "ending a sentence with a comma or period" pieces, and point out the diverging vocals, with Austin going up the scale while the rest go down the scale. Perfect! Thank you for a great break-down and reaction!

Yes that is all Adam Rupp (Vocal percussion and stomping) If you want to hear amazing percussion from favorite member of Home Free then check out “Some Girls Do”, “Sea Shanty Medley” “Dive Bar Saints” “Fulsom Prison Blues” “Butts Medley” and “House Party”. And my personal favorite HF arrangement arranged by Adam Rupp is his phenomenal take of “Do You Hear What I Hear”

[@badgrilangelme]

I love Home Free and look forward to you doing more of their work, I would love to see you react to some of their solo work.

[@imme6954]

I love how they blend so well yet when one solos it is well defined.

[@capt.phineas2364]

DJ, another amazing reaction with education. Aside from the many fantastic points you made, what I love about Mayday is that Tim moves to the high register while Chance moves down from baritone into the bass part. I believe for the song to work as it did, they needed three in the high register and Tim was better suited to do so. For me, it showed Home Free's versatility. Of course, Adam the beatboxer is solid. Between Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voiceplay, these groups prove you can have a very full sound without instruments. As an accapela fan, for these three groups to do it with only five members each when many groups twice their size cannot is simply incredible. Always appreciate the valuable insights of your reactions man, don't stop doing them ever. Be well my friend.

[@jeannietaylor4968]

Hiya - liked this even before I watched you react. Love your reactions and analysis - it's great to see music teachers' take on acapella groups (and to see your 'blown away face) :)

[@terrichristenson432]

You viewed this song a little early in your Home Free journey. The shock factor is there because Tim ( their super bass) is using the top of his his 5 octave range and singing along with Austin and Rob. Love Home Free and please react to more.

[@tomhansen4576]

You should check out their arrangement of Do You Hear What I Hear, which was arranged by Adam Rupp, their beatboxer. It is even more complex than even this arrangement, and also their complex harmonies and arrangement in How Great Thou Art, which is the finest version I have ever heard of that great classic hymnal.

[@judiththomas6763]

You can see Home Free in youtube videos from when they competed on the Sing Off a couple of years back. And Chance, (the Baritone) who took over the bass this time for Tim (so Tim could sing at a higher register), was originally with Street Corner Symphony as their bass in the season before Home Free competed. Awesome reaction! Keep them coming. :O)

[@Blue-rl5dp]

Love the color of your new digs. I hope you weren't so overwhelmed with the rest of the piece that you failed to notice Tim Foust, basso profundo extraordinaire, sang a nicely smooth tenor here. Of course he doesn't have the punch that Austin has at that level, but for someone who regularly blows out speakers with the bass It was very nice. I really like your reviews because you point out a lot of little things that my untrained ear just doesn't catch. There's more in this bowl of soup than I knew.

[@discodiva4833]

Home Free is one of my favorite bands ever. I fell in love with their music when I saw them on the Sing Off. Since then I have bought every album and have seen them in concert a few times. Their vocal percussionist is perhaps the best there ever was. In concert he does “drum” solos. One that is traditional drums and one that is electronic drums. They are all so immensely talented! If you like what you hear here then I definitely suggest checking out their other music.

[@suehbing]

What are those echo like "ohs" called? That was neat...I can listen to their version over and over again. Tim Foust, their bass has phenomenal range. I'm a sucker for the low voices but man! His voice, along with Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castellucci, their ranges just are jaw dropping! Need more stuff in your background....Love the reaction as always Sue

[@debrakampfer991]

Adam is an entire percussion section all by himself. Love your reactions!!!

[@Naggie_]

As ChechKris wrote, the main reason this song is so super is that the bass profundo Tim Foust sings tenor, and the baritone Adam Chance goes deep bass. And the vocal percussion is subtle and yet so immensely important to this song. Personally, I also love the end with dual vocal lyric lines simultaneously (Rob & Austin).

They are polished and professional. Home Free has been at it for many, many years and it shows.

Thanks for your reaction! I enjoyed your commentary. I do wish you hadn't been advised to react to this one QUITE so soon in your Home Free reaction journey. I see that most of the other comments have mentioned the same, and that you have acknowledged. ;-) Still...I found your comments knowledgeable and true to what I like about their work, as well. I'm 71, and have been singing since I was tiny, except for a space of about 20 years, where I couldn't, due to rheumatoid arthritis bending me over forward to the point that singing anything except as a deep bass was impossible (I used to have a 5-octave range, myself, and though typically singing 1st Soprano, I'd often fill in for either the Baritone or Bass parts if we had choir members missing). I had both hips replaced in 2017, and have slowly been retraining my voice. Listening to Home Free since I discovered them in 2015 has been one of the best things that ever happened in my life. They also got me through both of those hip surgeries, therapy sessions, and recovery time, bringing great joy to me as I listened to the harmonies you have touted so well. :-D - - - - - - - - - - If you're interested in learning about how the group began, and the men who have participated since then, I (Linda Wingfield all over the rest of the internet, by the way...this is just my gaming channel) did a bunch of research back in 2019, that I wrote into an article filled with internet links and examples of the work of Home Free as a group, as well as some of their individual input. You can find it on my website, at: lindawing.net/arts/music/home-free-a-brief-history/ After I finished that, in 2019, I also put together a range comparison for the guys, which includes Chris Rupp (the originator of the group in the first place, whom you'll read about in that brief history), but also includes Adam Chance (who took over as the baritone you heard get down into Tim's usual range in this song).

[@sandym6760]

Easily one of my favorites from Home Free ... Trust me, it's only ONE of my favorites. If you've never listened to any of their other videos, this is not the best one to start with, simply because of the jaw dropping surprise of Adam Chance (Chance) and Tim Foust switching places. Chance can get really low in his bass, but Foust can (and has) blow sub-woofers in concert. He's tall, and I swear he pulls the depth from the ends of his toes at times .... Adam Rupp (who started the group with his brother years ago, and is the only remaining person left from the starting group) does drum solos during the middle of the concerts -- while everyone else is resting their vocal chords -- that last from 8 - 10 minutes .... and then he goes right back in to finish the concert. Without taking a meaningful break. Awesome doesn't BEGIN to describe what that man can do!! If you haven't yet, check out their 'Man of Constant Sorrows'. Would LOVE to see your reaction to it!!

He has switched places with Adam Chance, who also has a deep voice, but can't go as low as Tim. This is really a song that needs to be heard after you're well acquainted with their normal voices. Tim has, if I remember right, a 5 octave singing range.

I have listened to them sing this so many times, I love it. Then its stuck in your head for days ! Lol

My favorite cover by Home Free is what I call Austin Brown's Holy Grail, " When a Man Loves a Woman" outstanding! A must see!

First time seeing a reaction to this Home Free cover of Mayday without a single mention of one of the world's best bass singers, singing tenor, wow just wow. Tim Foust has blown speakers with his bass voice.

As someone mentioned, this is not their usual stuff. Tim (in front/middle), is a super bass, but has a 5+ octave range. Chance, the "normal baritone, is singing bass on this one. Adam, the beatboxer is one of the best in the world. They changed things up on us on this one!

Yeeeeeees... they are doing the percussion sounds. They are sooooo 👏 awesome

[@shifrabaila4074]

You have got to check our "Home Free - Sea Shanty Medley" - a real "brain worm" if there ever was one. Plus check out Adam's drum solo - totally unreal how a single person could do what he did in that solo performance.

Ahhh this cover makes me smile every time. So brilliant! (Chef's kiss)

Nice to come across a music teacher speaking so well of a group. I truly love listening to them.

and yes Adam Rupp the beatboxer is regarded as the human drumkit. he is #1 in world for beatboxers many years running i believe at this point. and the First to Sing is Tim he has G#1 and F1 notes before this song. Chance and Tim can flip rules its kinda INSANE!

Really enjoying your reactions - and am new to reactions as a thing… HomeFree guys brought me here - check out their version of When a Man Loves aWoman…. and Austin Brown’s new stuff is amazing - Unchained Melody, Stand By Me with Steven Martinez and he sings At Last in the same key as Etta James…I think. Incredible talent.
