No One Told Me It Was THIS GOOD!!! | End of the Road - Home Free | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@patcline2298]

i heard that they all tried out for the lead on this and all of them acknowledged that it was Rob's song. They all like to highlight who ever can sing it best. SO now you have heard soulful Rob, Gospel Rob, Opera Rob, angelic Rob. What can't he do?????

[@margfried8796]

Exactly! This is why the guys themselves think Rob is the best singer in the group. I've always loved Rob.

[@LynnRamsay]

Don’t forget rapper Rob 😊

[@trinacaraway1765]

Whistling Rob!

[@whyme7996]

@@margfried8796 Agreed...he's also their time keeper along with Adam Rupp... I have never heard a more balanced and adaptable voice than Rob's. He's amazing.

[@milu9099]

and dancing Rob!

[@charleneclaassen]

Mortius I think we all assumed you had already watched this one. Great reaction! 😊

[@heinz57channel39]

How the heck did he not get to this .

[@momD612]

Right??!! That's normally at the top of the request list. 🤔😉😂🥰🥰🥰

[@gk5891]

I think we all KNEW he had already done it so we never even looked. It's usually in the first half dozen people see.

[@KeatingChick]

Pretty sure you're right about that!

[@joshvanklomp]

I usually don't comment on these videos, but I had to do it this time. I can't explain it, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Home Free reactions. Seeing the joy and the pure midblowingness hit the faces and bodies of reactors such as yourself bring me such happiness. And you, my friend Mortius, are in rarefied air, as in this video, you literally brought me to (happy) tears as I watched your reaction to this video! It's why you are one of only a few who are must-clicks when I see a thumbnail that includes Home Free.

[@momD612]

This. All this, exactly 💯 ❤❤

[@peggygross7409]

Congratulations on picking up that Chance is covering the bass line rather than Tim. Most reactors miss that. Rob certainly rises to the occasion in this one. Great reaction as usual. Happy New Year🎉

[@spfisterer3651]

Quite frankly, I assumed you'd already done it. Well, now you've met gospel Rob. He is amazing ❤

[@JackRazz1]

Never apologize for falling in love with Rob! He's so lovable! ❤

[@maryschaffer3918]

Gospel Rob is e everything!!!!!!

[@HelmaOsmond]

Thanks for your great reaction to one of my favourite Home Free covers! Isn’t it just a treat. And I’m so glad you mentioned Chance’s excellent contribution. Nobody ever does! ❤️

[@terimingle8957]

Gospel Rob took us ALL to church!!! Great reaction as always!!❤

[@patriciavernon9795]

I would be absolutely stunned if this has not been recommended to you before! Usually if a reactor asks for a Rob lead suggestion this is the first one recommended (although I think my personal favorite Rob lead is Catch Me If You Can, a Tim original). Fun reaction Mortius! I’m glad you finally reacted to this and Happy New Year!

[@mandysmith1756]

Absolutely love Catch Me If You Can!

[@lisaseverance6785]

Have to agree on the Catch Me if You Can. He is in high form in that song!

[@pennymaple1817]

Catch Me If You Can is my favourite Rob lead (closely followed by Blue Ain't Your Color) but it wasn't written by Tim - at least, not according to the credits on my CD. It was written by Keelan Donovan (and others). Keelan co-wrote Snow Globe with Tim.

[@susanhorn4325]

I agree with you on Catch Me If You Can…I love the song and Rob exudes so much confidence. Rob does a fabulous job in End of the Road, but I was never that big of a fan of the song.

[@patriciavernon9795]

@@pennymaple1817 oops, sorry 😫

[@GaiaOne]

Rob really cut loose with this one. He hasn't stopped since. He just keeps getting better and better. I didn't know that was possible, since he's so good to begin with.

[@denise_landry]

I had assumed you'd already seen this. Whoops! 😂🍟

[@charleneclaassen]

Everybody is brilliant in this performance. I just feel sorry for Chance. He's holding down the fort in the back, but hardly anybody mentions his inconspicuous (but vital) contribution. I wonder if Mortius is going to call attention to every member in this song, or if he's just going to be speechless? 😂

[@roniboyd613]

I think once he gains his speaking abilities, he will acknowledge everyone 😉

[@HelmaOsmond]

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Mortius is very good about trying to give everyone their just dues.

Well done, Mortius!

[@peggygross7409]

@@barbarakennedy2667 Yes he does and is the first reason I enjoy seeing his reactions.

[@truckerswife5060]

Rob is simply amazing in this one.

[@robynmatheson7687]

I’m pretty sure I recommended this one- it’s one of my favorite recommendations to reactors. Rob really digs deep- I wish he could cut loose more often. You will probably enjoy watching Rob doing the lead in the Christmas carol “Joy To the World “ Home Free at the Hosanna concert 2013- this is all in the title. It’s a jazzy, funky arrangement and Rob just KILLS it. There’s also a beatbox breakdown that is fantastic.

[@margfried8796]

yes, please!

[@anitawright7169]

This is so beautiful. Rob took us to church! These guys are amazing. Everything they touch turns to gold! They don't do covers they do upgrades! Love your reaction!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

#GospelRob really does hit different LOL ....perhaps not as impressive as #OperaRob, but #GospelRob is for sure my favourite! His runs here are super slick (as always), but when he decides to *lean-in* thru the last few lines it's such a satisfying treat. :)

[@Indigo_moon]

Finally! ❤

[@charleneclaassen]

Yes! Knew Mortius would not miss anything in the background. Everybody acknowledged. ❤

[@teresacartwright5406]

Rob is such a versatile vocalist and Home Free (IMHO) is THE best acapella band. There's a compilation of snippets of live singing by them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnasgK2dbd2hp5Isi=DT4smxDLmkukm8dY that shows just what talented singers they are. I wonder how many other groups could spontaneously sing in harmony in an underground parking lot or shower? All best wishes to you and yours in the New Year!

[@benvandewiele9051]

So glad you enjoyed it, this one is SO good, Rob showed his versatility. It is such a joy to watch you when you are really into a song.

[@beadwright]

Mortius, meet Gospel Rob. This is the epitome of blue eyed soul.

[@lindanearing4710]

There's very good reason why the Home Fries love these guys so much. We have a hard time staying in socks because they are constantly knocking them off of us. Great reaction, as expected!!

[@errolowl1]

So THAT's why all my socks disappear? 😂 Solved it! (and it's so true!)

And this is why I call him "Reverend Rob Lundquist." He went to CHURCH on this one.

Mortius reacts to Home Free End of the Road. Me: waaaaiiiit... he hasn't yet? Alright. Let's go. Mortius 2 seconds in: Stop Me: Oh this is gonna be epic. Mortius after Rob's first run: Stop. Ok Rob... Me: oh Honey... you have no idea 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cheridampier2524]

Oh we love our Gospel Rob moments!

[@richb313]

Now you know why the guys consider Rob the best singer in the group.

[@lisaseverance6785]

and this is why there are some Home Fries that think Rob is the secret weapon of the group. (Me included) The versatility, feeling and all around warmth in his voice just gets me every time! "Catch Me If you Can" (another fantastic Rob lead song) is one of my all time favorites!

[@stephanginther9051]

Please react to 'Wayfaring Stranger - Epic Version' by Simon Khorolskiy feat. Chris Rupp. You'll know Chris Rupp from older Home Free videos and I'm sure you already know that he left amicably and was succeeded by Chance, but Simon is not as well known. I really think you'll like their take on the classic song.

[@SleepyheadJJC]

Thanks 😊

[@CapriUni]

Happy New Year, Mortius! What a great way to start the year (I appreciate how you focus on the B.V.s)

[@andeegisby]

I love watching your reactions.

[@VJ_9014]

Do yourself a favor... go back to Tim's solo and "try" to ignore Tim (if you can) and listen really carefully to the BV's in that section. There's a LOT going on there. From the beginning of Tim through Austin coming in afterwards. It will blow your mind. It took me a lot of tries to ignore Tim because, well... its Tim!! 😉🫠 But the BV's there are really cool.

[@areese240z]

Hi Mortius Great reaction and I would say having reacted to so many Home Free songs it was possibly assumed you had already listened to this one. This is probably the next most recommended video after "Man of Constant Sorrow". These are essentially Home Free 101 and I was surprised when I saw you were reacting to this currently. I just love this group. Have you listened to "Woman Amen / Female"?

[@carolyn64]

Most of the channels that I am subscribed to, over the last 6 months, I've found that I have have been unsubscribed by KZbin! I've gotten in the habit of checking my status first each time I click on a video! Don't know why?

[@sallymaria]

So happy to see your reaction to this one - people get (rightly) blown away by Rob in this one, but it was good to see you recognising the strengths that all of them add to this classic.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great reaction! These guys do an amazing job of this song! They can do any genre including R&B. Rob's voice has so much feeling & soul in it. Austin adding his higher tones, Chance is holding down the bass in the back, Tim adding some deeper bass notes & Adam with his fabulous vocal percussion. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there. Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men was one of the judges on the "Sing Off" that Home Free won & he was a big fan of these guys from the start. I'm sure he loved their version of this song.

[@momD612]

I read somewhere that he was very pleased & impressed & honored by this cover. 👏 ❤

[@jillchamberlain6478]

From what I have read, Home Free called and talked to Shawn Stockman and got his “permission” to cover this before they did it.

[@danagiffin5492]

I am astonished this was your first listen. An amazing cover but I am partial to most Rob heavy lead songs. This one, dreamer, etc. Great reaction but knew it would be.

I thought you had already reacted to this. I thought i missed it. Im glad i didnt.

[@mellchiril]

I always forget that this song exists until it pops up randomly on my feed somewhere, and then I realize how much I love the song. Only to forget about it again afterwards. I don't know what it is about this song, it's good, I love it, but it doesn't stick in my mind all that much. I really should make an effort to listen to it more, because I'm blown away by it every time I do hear it. Time to plop it in a playlist before I once more forget it exists.

[@BrianPomeroy-r4k]

Great reaction as always. I thought they did an awesome job on that cover

[@sharonmortimer3843]

I would absolutely love to hear what Shawn Stockman thinks of it. Is their a particular reason you missed Austin n this one. This is a absolutel favorite of mine for sure. I always get such a kick out of your reactions to their music.

I know you like the song "Colder Weather" and you reacted to their version of it from seven years ago but they put out a new version about a month ago and it is even better. I don't know what makes it better, maybe it just their voices are more mature. It just gives me chills every time I hear it. I can't afford to join your Patreon to request it there, but I did want to let you know because I remember you saying how much you liked that song. Thanks

[@ljt974]

I don't know why but this cover just tends to fly under the radar for me too. I know it and love it but I never put HF on just to listen to it, yet whenever it comes on it feels like I've forgotten how good it is. What a showcase for Rob especially too! As an aside, I just want to say that you're an inspiration for me as a content creator on KZbin. I've thought about making stuff myself for a while and my partner is planning on starting to record and release music so I thought it would be a great excuse to start making my own stuff to help advertise for her. You inject so much personality and fun into your work that make you so fun to watch (plus my partner is neurodivergent too so some of your quirks remind me of her and you speaking about it so openly helps me learn things that might help me support her). Basically just a big, wordy thank you!

[@GodSponge]

I was dumbfounded when I saw this video in my feed. I would have been sure you'd reacted to it before. This may be one of my favs they've ever done. Rob STEALS THE SHOW there at the end. Gives me chills every time. Loved your reaction. :D

I've never been a fan of this song. It's just chorus after chorus after chorus..... But... Rob and Adam Rupp are both exceptional here. And the backing vocal line is great, as you noted. I can't believe you hadn't done this yet -- which leads me to asking if someone can update your Home Free playlist, as it seems to be fairly incomplete, making it hard for me to find ones that I want to rewatch. Just a hint.

I love Boyz II Men and have played End of the Road so many times. I never thought I'd ever like a cover of this song. But Home Free did it, while maintaining the respect for the original. How wonderfully sung by all! But for me it is mainly Rob Lundquist who nailed it. What a great voice with so much soul in it. He touches me deep inside. Of course it is the combination of the other leads , fantastic harmony, incredible bassline and the inhuman vocal percussion (Adam Rupp) that makes it complete.
