That HAT Sent Me On A JOURNEY!! | Life is a Highway - Home Free | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@donnaflynn9615]

Apparently Chance had a migraine that day. Give him kudos for hanging in there!

[@arianeponicelli9115]

everyone talks about austin's hair but nobody is talking about adam's fabulous hair

[@coletedeux]

Chance ended up with a migraine . . . that's how far these guy go for their fans.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Unnatural video faces--naturally vocally impressive music.

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

Yes it’s was a leaf blower

[@Indigo_moon]

Home Free has been independant for over 4 years now. So it's only the older videos that have copyright problems. Anything from their "Dive Bar Saint's" album and after you shouldn't have any problems with. Austin said that a major reason they went independant was so people could do reaction videos. So you might want to discuss this with your agency. Thanks for doing Home Free videos!

[@ForeverDegenerate]

I was about to say... with the sheer amount of reactors that react to Home Free combined with how much of said reactors' content library is Home Free, there's absolutely no way you can't monetize Home Free Reactions. Glad I was right about that, for the most part. Hopefully OP will get a lot of likes so Mortius will see it.

[@officialmortius]

I dispute every copyright claim i get, and the disputes I submit are outright rejected by Orchard Music every. Single. Time :/

[@officialmortius]

Jennifer Glatzhofer has told me she also cannot monetize any recent releases. So wherever you’re getting your info from is, unfortunately, wrong

[@charleneclaassen]

Nope. Not true anymore. Orchard music handles their content on KZbin and they are relentless and incompetent. Even Maggie Renee who does a full analysis had to use her savvy and the help of HF's own team because she got hit with a copyright strike on a recent HF video. They don't check whether the reactor is implementing fair use correctly, they just outright block HF reactions. THAT is why so many reactors can't make money with HF and/or the video gets blocked. It sucks.

[@roniboyd613]

@@officialmortius that sucks big time😠

[@kmwwrench]

Anything for a laugh, these guys. "Stand in front of a leaf blower and make goofy faces? Sure, why not." Gotta love 'em.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Chance had a migraine that day, so I'm sure he was hurting. I couldn't imagine a leaf blower in my face. Check out the first time Chance's hat flies off it looks like it goes past Rob. This is a fun one to watch for sure. Great reaction to this song.

[@yakarobed]

He grabbed the hat and put it back on. 🤣 But only after I took it and bopped Mortius with it. 😂

[@according_to_Gerg]

If you want to see continuity errors in a Home Free video watch "Brother" closely. There are enough that I believe the were left in on purpose.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Adam looked like he was having a ball! Poor Chance looks miserable. LoL. So good and so fun. Thanks for the Home Free reactions

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Apparently Chance was developing a migraine and the winds didn't help. I feel so sorry that he is subject to them.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

@@barbarakennedy2667 oh, absolutely. I also have them. . I can usually tell with him because he tends to open one eye a little less than the other when he has them but it was difficult to tell in this video.

[@dianadickerson749]

Chance was working with a migraine.

[@beckiramsey9561]

Jimmy was holding the leaf blower, it was funny watching them when he turned it up, trying to see what faces they could make! Yeah, poor Chance had a migraine during this video, so he is miserable, unfortunately! So sad!😢. I also noticed that his hat fell off once and it was put back on, then when it came off again he just left it off. This was definitely a fun, but simple video! They were awesome as always!! Glad you enjoyed it Mortius! Thanks for all of your 🏡 🆓 reactions! 🏡🍟

[@ronfaulkner3925]

Home Free managed to stay off my radar until about 9 months ago. It was a reactor's reaction that introduced me to them. Now I'm a devoted Home Fry. Home Free clearly understands how this works. Unfortunately those who manage their business don't get it. I also understand that it's not just HF's content, either, it's everywhere. Music in the digital era is different. We're not just recording mix tapes on 8-track anymore. It's understandable, but shortsighted IMHO. Great reaction, as always.

[@lisaseverance6785]

As far as the hat goes, in the country if you have a favorite hat and it blows off on the road, you turn around and get it back. That's my brain canon for the hat! LOL

[@richb313]

The one thing everyone is in agreement with is to see the behind the scenes video of this song.

[@nancyholter5646]

While I am sure there are some, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a HF video with NO continuity issues.😉

[@officialmortius]

😆 Fair point

[@teresacartwright5406]

I love all their renditions of the song (this one, the Sing Off & a prior video). The singing, harmonies (Adam's & Austin's hair being down) and Adam once again outdoes himself beatboxing. BTW, the ending was done with a leaf blower! Their collective sense of humor and lack of ego makes for great, fun videos!

[@LaurieRein]

I saw the hat blow off and then jump back on - you called that right on and I’m a Home Fry! You were really fun through that.

[@judyhausler7057]

You just watched a musical morph from Chance to "Popeye"!

[@minneyruth]

😂😂😂

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I love how our guys meet our expectations We know them pretty well by now. I loved your reaction because it matches mine. Adam has such a bull strong neck from all the beatboxing.

[@wolfe6220]

And pumping iron!

[@roniboyd613]

Mortius, you are a kind person, thank you for understanding the fair (?) use/copyright crap🫤 There are several much anticipated spots in this song-😂 that I can't wait to watch your reaction😊 Aaaaannnd, you did NOT disappoint ❤

[@ghstdnsr]

Never cared for this song until they did it, Now I have it on CD so it will get a workout.

[@charleneclaassen]

Hi Mortius. South African here. But for the exchange rate I would have joined your patreon in a heartbeat. Unfortunately $1 will cost me ZAR20. I'm crossing my fingers that more American HF fans will join your Patreon soon. I do really love your HF reactions and in this one you had me laughing all over again.😊

[@NivMizzet13]

I wonder if there's a way to help out

[@debbiehall9091]

These boys just keep getting better and better and even more silly and funny. This is hysterical ❤️❤️❤️

[@TJ_in_SC]

I went & joined Patreon just so I could keep you reacting, especially with HF Christmas coming soon !! (I went Eldredge Knot on you too) I had no idea HF reactions weren’t monetized so I guess there’s a few other HF heavy reactors that I need to go take care of now as well. 🤦 You’re 1 of my favorites to watch (with Mrs. Mortius too) so I hope that helps & keep ‘em coming !!

[@JoanN63]

Oh those guys are so good and funny. I'm laughing my ass off, especially at their faces. What fun they would have had during those recordings. I've seen it a few times and each time I see something new. But my attention still remained on the singing and that inhumanly good beatboxing. You could say I was laughing while swinging. Because it sounded amazing again. It has become much better than the performance of the Sing Off. But what I like so much is that even if you don't see the video, what you hear is still great. With many groups the song is nice and good when you watch the video, but without a video it is a lot less and I had enough after listening to it once. I don't have that at all with Home Free. They are top, but not over the top❤❤❤❤❤

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

I love this song Home Free can do anything. I love your reaction.❤

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

😂 Poor Chance, he looked miserable, but, still, how much fun!

[@garryandjanepannell8594]

I'm sorry you have problems with these videos but I'm glad you did this one it helped bring a smile when my fibromyalgia pain kicked it up a notch.

[@sp72929]

"... this part is lip-synced." LOL - I think that is a fairly sure bet - they probably had some serious problems to breath at that point, forget singing.... 🤣

[@peggygross7409]

Another great analysis as usual.

[@vickiadkins9844]

Ty HF for your energy talent , and humor!!!!! Adam u are absolutely incredible!!

[@Arachnia_Sea]

So far, this is my favorite of the bunch, and I'm glad you got to react to this!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Oh how fun, it is such a joy to see you really enjoy a song/video!

[@NivMizzet13]

Nitpick without negative connotation - A nuance!

[@mellchiril]

Chance seriously looks like he's suffering all throughout the video. The rest is just having a blast (no pun intended, but maybe a little) and Chance is like 'uhhh oxygen! Please!' throughout most of the last part. I ended up watching this video almost daily to give me some laughs, it never fails. Plus it's actually a fun song as well, out of the new releases it's probably my favorite just because it's more upbeat than most. Also, unpopular opinion probably... Austin's giving me 'cosplays Jesus on Sundays' vibes and I'm not entirely sure how positive I mean that comment. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the look, but I've heard others rave about it so... yeah, it's probably fine.

[@angelamason9840]

I really needed joy brought by you and Home Free free, thank you! I hope you will see their Christmas originals full of cheer and cold hard cash excellent! 🤣

[@joanwharff6483]

Thank You Mortius…🔥💗🔥 HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃🦃‼️🦃🦃

[@vivette3990]

Couldn't watch this when it dropped. So saved it for my morning exercise session. Had such fun with you Best way to start the day. Thanks.

[@toodlescae]

As I understand it Chance did this with a migrains. Poor guy must have been sucfering by the end with dry eyes on top of a migraine.

[@carolyntaylor7]

I thoroughly enjoy your reactions. Sometimes you point out things I hadn’t noticed. Thanks. 😊

[@joanwharff6483]

What about Home Free’s …Originals ??? I’m super jealous of Austin’s Awesome Hair….its Gorgeous 🙃💗‼️💗🙃

[@danivansuperstar]

Love your reaction. Your joy is contagious!!

[@juniper617]

It’s just slow speed photography that makes their faces look so distorted-or rather, that happens normally in high wind, but normally so fast that we can’t really see it. You should see some of the stills that come out of indoor skydiving places.

[@ryansmallwood1178]

This was hilarious! 😂

[@debbiestumm511]

OMG...you cracking up laughing is killing me 😂😂😂😂

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for your analysis. I am most familiar with Tom Cochrane's version of this song than Rascal Flatts. The guys did a great cover of this song on the "Sing Off". They later released a studio version of this when Chance was with them showing them touring & the behind the scenes at shows. And now they have just released this 3rd version of this song. The guys all sounded great as usual & enjoy their sense of humor. Love Tim's low bass growl. And Adam Rupp once again stole the show with all his cool sounds. He really has an unreal range.

[@angelamiller6275]

You just cracked me up!!

[@gerlindekunar4651]

Thank you, Mortius, I genuinly love your humour and your laughter, you made me laugh, too! When you analyze songs it really helps me understand them better!

[@Laura_Martin42]

Tim looks like he is having entirely too much fun!

[@minneyruth]

#Mortius ❤ #HomeFree ❤

[@200yente]

To me, the repetitive low notes made me think of the sound of the bumps on the road when you are driving. I don't know if that was intentional, but it really worked for me.

[@officialmortius]

What a lovely interpretation!! Now I want to rewatch with that in mind :) I love how much music can hit different people and say different things

[@marshac7738]

I've always loved the Rascal Flatts' version of this song; but Home Free just makes it even better ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ LOVE when the boys have fun with their videos! (Not a bad showcase for their hair either 🤣) I love that they showed Adam doing some of his bass drops--SO talented! 🥰 I don't know that anyone has ever actually publicized Adam's range, but I sincerely believe his is the widest vocal range of all the Home Free fellas 💕 #HomeFree

[@hollyevoy2118]

I loved your reaction to this video. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life!

[@AnnaMarie66]

I’m crushed Austin is soon leaving the Group to be with his beautiful new Bride 🥺♥️

[@windbringer9890]

What do you mean lip synced!>?!?!?!?!?!?!? DoN't YoU kNow ThEy Do ThAT LIvEE!!?!?!?!?!

[@officialmortius]

🤣

[@donaldpaulson3920]

Lol apparently they used a high power leaf blower for the wind effect

[@donnaflynn9615]

Why don’t you put raindrops over the video. Seems like several other reactors are doing that. Thanks for reacting!

[@vinnieblair8576]

TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY Chance suffers from migrainea and he was having a migraine the day of this video shoot, so he looks doubly miserable.

[@user-ny4iq7rl3p]

Why is a young Alan Thicke in the video?

[@janettetippetts7942]

Should I say something about you calling someoone in this group 'Jeff"? Everyone makes mistakes...☺

[@officialmortius]

What??? When did my silly brain do that???? 🤣

[@SBQDawn]

Luke SilverTounge Are you kidding me? HF Cares about EVERYBODY and Lost a half mil. subscribers for saying so. When they did Everybody Walking This Land. I'll unsub now as I feel I'm not the right kind of person to be here. Sorry if my presence caused a problem , I was unaware until now. The only way to correct the problem I caused is to leave. I am sorry I accept responsibility for myself . I do hope you all stay healthy and live well.

[@nancyholter5646]

I must have missed some thing. I can't imagine how you wouldn't be welcome here. The 'right kind' of person to be here is one who enjoys Mortius and his HF reactions - and who couldn't do that?

[@officialmortius]

I am truly sorry that I had to miss the premiere in a way that I wasn’t able to stay and moderate discussion/comments. Just like Home Free’s community, everyone is welcome here as long as they themselves are kind and welcoming. I hope I don’t anyone as a viewer/subscriber because of the commentary of a silly person

[@Ingrid_Haendel]

I must have missed something too? I don't see any comment that might have caused you to thing that you are not welcome here. Or was it maybe deleted?

[@donaldpaulson3920]

I think all you KZbin reactors should get together and find a good lawyer and file a class action lawsuit... it's getting out of hand from what I can tell

[@giacomofuortes2703]

I understand the frustration of the creators about the monetizing situation but just look at some number. Home Free video of this song made 270 k visualizations more or less. I personally follow at least 50 different creators that do home free reactions that goes from 3k to 50k visualizations on this song. That means that the creators together realized more than double the visualizations on the original video. This become an economic problem fort those who create the content that is used from the reactors, this contribute to not let the original video go viral and so on. The idea of the reactors that help the artist to reach new fans is old and can be still good on small creators that need to be known, but after a certain point they become more an economic burden than an help. Add to that nowdays almost all the reactors have patreon, or other similar system to earn money so I can understand that recently is becoming more and more difficult to monetize reaction videos. Still I think that reactors should have if not all at least part of the monetization of the video but this mean that the whole system that YT use to monetize should be changed
