"OMG! Austin what is that sound" Home Free Reaction to 'Do You Hear What I Hear'

[@user-rt1rx3jg9y]

When u saw Austin with his hands over his mouth he was making those sounds ❤

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Yeah clocked that one. Nailed it tbf ☺️

[@babyfry4775]

One of my favorites. The boys have said Adam’s arrangements are always difficult. Adam was crazy good as were all the boys. I don’t know how the ice didn’t fall with Tim’s low notes. Yeah Austin can do that weird sound (sort of guitar like?). Good one boys. Love Home Free!!! 😍😃😄

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha yeah this was defintely amazing. We really enjoyed it

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Adam Rupp needs to arrange more songs. Phenomenal ❤🎉

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Fully agree 😊

[@pamelalee1508]

#HomeFree Faith Family and Country... #HighlyReactive The coolest chaps on YT 😁 Yes a 'Christ'mas song... celebratory of Christ's birth...such a beautiful rendition by Home Free and the arrangement by Chris is wonderful... On Tim's vocalizations..do check out his channel and react to 💥...Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay.. Tim Foust Tim loves doo-wop and songs of that era...in the mentioned song you'll see exactly what Tim can do... Keep your berries warm fellas 👍😉...cheers... 🌿🌿🌿

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We appreciate your kind words Pam ☺️ and thank you for the recommendations

[@vinnieblair8576]

Austin also does a mean harmonica to help out Rupp, guitar and other string instrument sounds. This Christmas song is so old, I'm surprised guys your ages don't know it. I'm in my 60s and I sang it as a child. Thanks for the reaction to a populat HF favourite!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

The man's got serious range 😂

[@marylee7467]

That low growl you asked who did was pure Tim.

[@susanengland3919]

"Do You Hear What I Hear?" was released shortly after Thanksgiving in 1962.[1] The song was originally recorded for Mercury Records by the Harry Simeone Chorale,[1] a group that had also popularized "The Little Drummer Boy", and released as part of the album The Wonderful Songs of Christmas with the Harry Simeone Chorale. As a 45 rpm single, it went on to sell more than a quarter-million copies during the 1962 Christmas holiday season. Bing Crosby made the song into a hit when he recorded his own version of it on October 21, 1963,[4] with the record being released as a single on October 26. Crosby also performed the song on a Bob Hope Christmas television special on December 13 of that year. Over the years, Crosby's recording of the song has been widely played on the radio and has been available on numerous compilation Christmas albums and compact discs put out by Capitol Records.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the info ☺️ We appreciate it

[@philipsherman8838]

You can literally watch Austin do the guitar sounds on "Children go where I send thee" featuring Kenny Rogers.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out ☺️

[@JoanN63]

For me one of the best arranged songs, or perhaps the best, of Home Free. So impressive! The phenomenal beatboxing/vocal percussion , the overwhelming bass(notes), the great harmonies, the sound effects, colors, etc. in such a beautiful but cold scenery. I could listen and watch this all the time. A lot happens, but not that it is disturbing. Just amazing. And yes, Austin makes that different sound. This happens often, just as he can also do the no monica. But Chris and Rob (and Chance) can also produce a certain sound. Listen to their 9to5 live.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha it was defintely amazing! Solid skills by Austin aswell

[@debrakaleta1426]

#homefree rocked this!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Defintely ☺️

[@mlpugh1]

Such a selfless group. I’ve always loved that about them. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song. Forever a Home Fry!❤❤

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We are absolutely loving them ☺️

[@lindareynolds8430]

#HOMEFREE........brilliant!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

💯💯

[@lindamorrison9755]

all the guys can beatbox to some degree. Tim can do a base guitar and Adam taught Austin to do the nomonica too. Rob can whistle. YOU CAN WATCH AND HEAR HIM WHISTLE IN THE BUTTS REMIX. He is extraordinaire.You know Chance can do the jaw harp and Adam besides all the drumming and onmonica can scratch like doing it to a record in rap / hip-hop music. a

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for your comment. Appreciate you ☺️

[@brendasorenson6186]

My favorite Christmas carol of HF's, and my favorite version of this song. I saw HF live 2 yrs ago, and my ear still remembers that E1 of Tim's! #HomeFree #HighlyReActive

[@terimingle8957]

A incredible Adam Rupp arrangement! These boys never disappoint! Loved your reaction as usual! You pick up on a little of the things they are doing in the background. ❤

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️

[@Rangatology]

If you boys like the groups little interlude in this song, check out when they perform “9 to 5 live with beatbox breakdown” awesome team effort & great beat.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out ☺️

[@marieball8441]

When Chris Rupp left Home Free for other opportunities, he established his own KZbin channel. You should check it out because along with his own music and originals, he also has info on Home Free's history (since he was one of the founding members) and he does his own critiques and reviews of many of the videos he did with the group.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation. We Will have to check it out ☺️

[@bryanpscolka7280]

It's crazy guys. They all can beatbox. They have a video out there as to where they all do it. It is phenomenal. Look it up and check it out. Love your channel guys. Keep it up.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to look out for that one

[@stanrock2225]

One of their best

[@highlyreactivereactions]

It is defintely amazing

[@annebiebrich9155]

Yes that was Austin

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Amazing

[@karinfichtner7479]

Austin does the sound you are hearing, and he does a harmonica, too. When they do Man of Constant Sorrow, he joins Adam to make the harmonica sound louder and fuller. This was Adam Rupp's arrangement.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats awesome, thank you for sharing ☺️

[@judyhausler7057]

Good morning gentlemen, the look on your faces is priceless! Adam Rupp arranged this one and it is so dynamic, just awesome! The sound you're talking about is Austin.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha very impressive tbf 😂

[@highlyreactivereactions]

It is a great song 😊

[@user-xi2eh6kp1e]

❤ 1 of the most beautiful 🎵 that they have ever done I get chills when Tim sings his voice is just so warm like a great big hug

[@highlyreactivereactions]

It is defintely very beautiful ☺️

[@annebiebrich9155]

This is a very popular Christmas song !

[@highlyreactivereactions]

First Time hearing it for us ☺️

[@LynnRamsay]

It was Austin doing that sound you were wondering about!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Very well done by Austin!

[@LynnRamsay]

@@highlyreactivereactions definitely 😊

[@Rkbmomma]

Love the 4-5 octave drop by Tim on the words "bring him silver & gold" and Austin's riff floating high above everyone in the background. Well, heck, I love this whole song. Enjoyed your reaction-thank you. Edit: The ice castle is planned for Delano, MN this year but we have had very little snow or "cold" for this time of year. There's supposed to be an arctic front moving through next weekend so maybe they will be able to get it done.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing Rachel ☺️

[@janicenyborg8490]

You are correct. The sound is Austin

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Amazing!

[@AngB517]

They can all beatbox to a certain degree, obviously not like Adam, so Austin doing that sound wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. I've always loved this christmas song, when it's done right...they've done it right. 💓

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Would love to see a 5 way Beat box 😂

[@Anne.Pinkerton]

They were also going to tell you that Adam Rupp did the arrangement for this one!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

13:12 we got that 👍

[@judydavis7993]

Austin is a man of many talents and sounds.🥰 I can't listen to anyone else sing this beautiful song since I discovered HomeFrees' wonderful version. Even when we sing this is in church, I still listen for Adams' amazing sound effects, Tims growling bass and Austins sky high vocals.😂❤ Thanks for your love of HomeFree. Stay warm and Happy New Year. 😊✌️❤️

[@highlyreactivereactions]

They are really amazing Judy and we are enjoying there work ☺️

[@marshac7738]

Such an exceptional arrangement by Home Free's own wizard and incomparable vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp ⛄🪄🎄 And such a nice treat to hear Chris Rupp's smooth baritone getting some focus❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️ #HomeFree #WorldsBestBeatboxer #HomeFreeDoesChristmasBest

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Incredible talent ☺️

[@vickybolsby9153]

This was originally released as a xmas song. The boys released their version on their xmas album as well. When I first discovered Home Free, this was in with the first handful of songs I had heard from them. I dont need xmas to listen to this one. This showcased so many different talents from the guys. Its a timeless piece! Luved your reaction! Well done, ya all! @HOME FREE 🤙

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing and the kind words Vicky 😊

[@kellywilliams364]

The Rupp brothers mom is a music teacher. Both boys play multiple instruments and have a great understanding of music. Chris even taught piano for abit.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing! Thank you for sharing

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

This is one of Home Free's masterpieces, arranged by Adam Rupp, with complex variations of solos and harmonies, vocal "instruments" and percussions, and beautifully staged visuals. It has remained one of my favorite numbers ever since the first hearing many years ago. It's a Christmas song, but any season is enriched by a good replay! Love your reactions, as always. Happy New Year!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

They defintely smashed it and we enjoyed it. Happy New Year to you Elizabeth ☺️

[@glowormrdr6183]

We always sang this in school choirs in the sixties and seventies, but I wish we'd had such a cool arrangement! I've read that the lyrics "Pray for peace, people everywhere" were in support of anti-war movements.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing 😊

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha poor guys 😂

[@kmwwrench]

I'm not a fan of Christmas music, but this is absolutely my favorite Home Free song. Adam's arrangement is the best arrangement of any Christmas song, ever. Fabulous! If you want to hear more of Chris Rupp, you might try Movin' On which was written by him. There are lots of solo things on his channel as well. Another enjoyable rabbit hole for you to fall down.

[@nancyholter5646]

Chris also has most of the lead in What Child is This - on his channel - with all of HF, too..

[@highlyreactivereactions]

There is something about it which is so beautiful ☺️

[@debbiestumm511]

Never liked this song till #HomeFree did this. ❤❤❤❤. Morning Lads!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

They did smash this one defintely ☺️

[@bethcoussou]

This is one of my favorite Home Free Christmas covers! It’s such an amazing and cool arrangements, and the video is the icing on the cake! I’ve seen them perform this one live at their holiday shows and it’s amazing!! The guitar sound (or whatever that is that Austin is doing is crazy good and cool! He and Chance are both also great at stringed instruments sounds. #HomeFree

[@highlyreactivereactions]

This one certainly was amazing Beth and we really enjoyed it ☺️

Happy New Year to you too ☺️

[@andreaislandgirl720]

If you want to hear more of Chris, may I suggest A Little Bit of Everything, Wagon Wheel/Song of the South, Fishin' In The Dark/Boondocks. Austin was indeed making that guitar sound, he can do a harmonica as well, and will sometimes join in with Adam when they perform Man Of Canstant Sorrow live. All of the guys can beatbox, you can see them do it in 9 to 5 + Beatbox Breakdown. Tim or Rob also used to fill in for Adam's beatboxing when he was doing other sounds. They may have stopped this now that Adam uses a looper on stage.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the info and recommendations 😊

[@gerselinde]

Hello! Thank you for sharing. Home Free is my favorite group. 🤗

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Home Free are amazing ☺️

[@jankreps5115]

What a great version of this song! Sometimes it’s hard to follow who is singing in which part… I think you may be right about Austin singing that one part… It reminds me of “children go where I send Thee” where Austin has a part similar to that! Take a listen and see what you think!! Nice Reaction! Thanks for all the time you take making these reactions!!

This is my favorite HF cover, period. It's an old Christmas song. Adam Rupp's arrangement is brilliant. He is a wonderful musician, a man of many talents, not just beatboxing. #homefree

It was certainly beautifully done ☺️

[@patriciavernon9795]

Love their version of this song! I like many others I was not particularly fond of this song until I heard Home Free’s version. They are all so good in this but it’s really Adam Rupp’s arrangement of this song that made it so special. Thanks for another great reaction! #HomeFree

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Yeah they did really well with it and we enjoyed it Patricia ☺️

[@keithwestheider4234]

This song is a very old Christmas song and it is become my favorite version of this song. These guys are absolutely fantastic. Specially, the really low bass note from Tim.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Yeah we really enjoyed this piece. Amazing!

[@cynthiamiller483]

I’ve looked through the comments and there’s a lot of good info. This is by far my favorite arrangement of this song. So glad you got to it. You should do these songs no matter the season. How about Christmas in July! Thanks for your comments and questions about this song. #HomeFree

Google says that this song was written during the Cuban Missile Crisis as a powerful plea for peace by a man who had experienced the horrors of World War II French- born Noel Regney.

[@joywright8794]

This song has been around, here in the states, since the early 60's, it was written in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the first time my high school sang it was back in the Christmas Performance of 1968. By that time it was already an established Christmas song. As far as vocal sounds, You need to watch "Home Free - 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, October 27, 2015" on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHm8mIpmm5imgac The entire group does a Beat Box Breakdown. They really are an incredibly versatile bunch of musicians!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

If you watch Children go where I send Thee, he does teh same type of thing...and also has in other songs too.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

[@theirishslyeyes]

I know I recommend checking out the group Marianas Trench a little while ago, but their front singer put out an album independent of the group a year or so ago. I recommend checking out a couple of his songs as well (they're all great though) - Josh Ramsay "Lady Mine", "Perfect Mistake" and "Blame it on the Beat" ❤🤞🏻🙌🏻

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Appreciate your recommendations ☺️

[@scottdarden3091]

Pentatonix Little Drummer Boy, yeah Kevin up front, but he can't sound like actual drums! Which is why Home Free is the best A Capella group in the world

[@highlyreactivereactions]

They are both so different, Home Free certainly hits home

[@adwenb]

All 5 of them can beatbox. Check their page for beatbox breakdown…

[@blackenreed1425]

If you, as you say, shack up with someone there, you could easily end up like an American winter storm with snow on your backside. Parts of the song sound to me like Shaft (theme) meets the Beach Boys (Good Vibrations), or is it pure imagination/poor memory?
