That high note wasn’t Chance it was Bastien. During the BTS they were goofing around and Chance lip synced that part because he was trying to make Rob laugh and they decided to keep it in the video😊

The song was a suggestion by Bastien and, in my opinion, it was the perfect choice as an introduction song. It sure shhowcased Bastien quite well. I liked Tim's bass, Rupp's percussions and Rob's and Chance's background vocals, too. Overall, it was a perfect performance. Btw, those high notes weren't done by Chance (it was Bastien). He and Rob were just fooling around and had a kind of competition going on. They (or probably Jimmy) decided to keep it in. To me it was clear that you very much enjoyed the new song and if you want to hear more new of them you only have to wait until Friday. They're going to release the next one then. And your headphones are just fine, they still fit the colour scheme. Hopefully KZbin doesn't make this comment disappear again (this is my second attempt). Thanks for the reaction.

I understand your feeling about the latest album. They were starting to get into a rut. Even if Austin had stayed there was a need to shake things up.

Good reaction Mortius! Bastien sounded great. It was not Chance doing that high part, it was Bastien but they were fooling around during filming and Chance was mimicking Bastien and they kept it in. I thought it was Chance too. I agree that Bastien has a smooth voice or clear voice I should say and he sounds great. Good Bonnie Raitt song.

This video gave us a lot to Talk About, didn't it! I understand the need to re-record tracks that were originally done under contract to another entity, but I felt like they were feeling a bit stale. Bastien has given them a new spark. It gave Rob a chance to go low and bluesy, it let Chance lip-sync to Bastien's high notes (but I think we all believe he could do it if he wanted), and it kept the Tim & Rupp underpinning that is the Home Free signature. The original by Bonnie Raitt was one of my college jams. I love what Home Free did with it.

I joined for Six, and have since caught up on Epic. I’ve never heard of Home Free, but now I have something new to check out! Are you familiar with Marianas Trench? They are a Canadian band that I think you would LOVE. I’d love to see you react to their music. Marianas Trench does concept albums, so the songs all lead into each other like a musical. They reuse motifs, both musically and lyrically, and both within an album and across multiple albums. Listening to their albums is much like experiencing each Saga from Epic for the first time! If you consider this, you should listen to each of their albums in order: Fix Me (optional, as it’s not quite got the concept album formula down yet, but a few motifs begin here) Masterpiece Theater Ever After Astoria Phantoms Haven (newly released) The harmonies are so good, and they do your favorite thing! Dropping the instruments to just harmonize mid-song! If you have any doubts, just listen to the first song from the Phantoms album, called Eleonora, and decide if it’s something you want to listen to and react to. I guarantee you will be hooked.

At one point you suggested Rob was likely carrying the high harmony over Bastien. Personally, I didn't get a clear indication from the video (though, as most everyone should know by now, the video is lip-synched to a studio recording as demonstrated by Chance's game with the last high note), and my current setup isn't giving me a clear separation of those parts, so I could try identifying the tone, so i can't opine intelligently, however in the past, Home Free has said that when Austin was on lead, Tim would often carry that high harmony. I would imagine that remains the case with Bastien, and It's probably been done more since Chance joined and can comfortably carry the bass line for all but the 'dragon breath' lows. Rob is easily capable of doing so, but over the years the boys have seemed to prefer Tim in that role, at least for the catalog they have at this point. They put the best singers in the best roles to suit the song, so trends may change with song choices. Counting the days until I get to see them in mid-Oct..
