Renaissance Man Reaction to Home Free - Sea Shanty Medley

[@timworks991]

You should check out their official live version of this. Also you need to check out their original sea shanty "Skull and Bones." When Home Free released their "Sea Shanty Medley" during the lock down and it went viral, the game company Ubisoft saw it and was so impressed by them that they reached out to Home Free and asked if they would be interested in creating an original song for their game (which was in development) Skull and Bones. Of course they jumped on that and their one and only sea shanty enthusiast, Adam Chance stepped up and wrote a master piece. Ubisoft introduced them and their song at the Summer Game Fest 2023, along with the lyric video which is what we had until now. Their official music video incorporates elements of the game into the story depicted in the video. Well worth the wait, love it. What an epic original sea shanty by Chance and Home Free. You can tell Ubisoft contributed a lot to this video. Many have commented that it is like a mini movie including the end credits. In the credits the female pirate is referred to as Marianne and is played by Clair Glassford. The young Marianne is played by Kate Kilclough. Looking forward to what they have next for us.

Home Free got really creative during the pandemic. This is one example. Filmed in TikTok format, they posted the “Wellerman” portion on TikTok and the sound went viral.

The live version of this song is fantastic 🇬🇧

[@belinda9696]

One of them left recently, their high tenor Austin, and his replacement has already started with them. He seems like he will fit in nicely with them. But before that it has consistently been the same five guys since 2016.

[@patriciavernon9795]

I’m a die hard Home Fry! If you react to Home Free I’m here for it!

[@babyfry4775]

It’s a great medley of sailor songs by the boys. Home Free became quite creative during Covid. They all bought cameras and recording equipment so they could record at home. They put out a song every two weeks for us fans. That’s when I discovered them. Tim was standing in a boat, that’s why he didn’t move much. This shanty became so popular that it attracted Ubisoft, the game maker, to them. They requested a new shanty for their new game Skull and Bones and Chance delivered. Skull and Bones is a great pirate song with Chance in the lead. Chance has quite a few songs under his belt. Try I Can’t Outrun You, Some Girls Do, Yours. There’s more but I can’t remember all of them. Enjoy!

One of my brother's favorite shows was Wild, Wild West starring Robert Conrad 😂

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Tonguing is what cutting up the whale carcass was called to process it into oil.

[@tygerbrite]

You should hear Chance's solo version of Leave Her Johnny/Lowlands, on his channel. Totally different and amazingly beautiful. Of Austin's solos, one of my favorites is his cover of Neon Moon by Brooks & Dunn.

[@dagmar.6954]

How good are these guys? The fun & energy in this is infectious. This was done during quarantine so none of the guys were even together. The editing of this was great & was done in the Tik Tok style. Love all the guys parts, with Tim's rumbling bass underlying it all. And Adam's beatboxing is phenomenal as always including sea swells & castanets. Amazing how he increased the tempo from one song to another. They recently released a professional live recording of this medley.

[@MonicaGoodwin-qz5gd]

❤🤠#HomeFree. Amazing. Great reaction. 🏠🍟

[@GretchenMiller-r6k]

The way they use little bits of each song at the end makes me think of them trying a bow on this little gift of happiness.

[@R989D]

Adam Chance (red hat, your surprise lead) has some solo stuff that his hugely worth a listen/watch! His cover of Counting Crows’ “Mrs Potters Lullaby” is probably one of my top songs from any genre this year! Also if you ever watched Disney’s Robin Hood (highly underrated movie) his version of oodalally is brilliant)

[@kmwwrench]

Adam Rupp is akways amazing. His castanets in this one are one of ny favorite sounds from him. The live version if this is fabulous.

[@sythompson9331]

the pirate is standing in an old wood boat. both Tim Foust and Adam Chance have some really good songs on their channels

[@jeffhensley6929]

Adam Chance does some leads, and he is featured more so in their concerts. “I Can’t Outrun You” is my favorite of theirs with him leading - he also directed that video.

[@shanelady1049]

Cover Me Up is my fav from him

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Chance Rob and Austin did a great job on this Sea Shanty Melody. Tim looks like Jack Sparrow and I love his low bass voice. Adam did a great job on beatboxing. Home Free is my favorite group ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@beadwright]

Welcome back. There are so many original songs Home Free has released. Their Stargazer Trilogy was Austin writing about his love Amberly.

[@angielofton6372]

Loved the kitty head! And yes, I broke out into a sweat when they were talking about men on a ship and tonguing until I looked it up.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Glad I wasn't the only one.

[@geniej9093]

Love the Home Free vibe

[@mistyhall5467]

I read an article that said Chance was the one who loved sea shanties. The rest of the group called them sea Chancies. 😂

[@chilcootchicks4968]

Dr Loveless in the Wild Wild West? 🤔. Happy to have you back on Home Free!

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Nice job. Nailed it! Happy too be back to Home Free myself.

[@carolyntaylor7]

If you enjoyed this version, you should check out the live, professionally recorded, version. It was recorded before an audience of about 5000 people!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Hawaiian Eye, couldn't tell you who the villian was

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

What a guess. I had to look that up which makes sense since it finished it's run when I was 1 year old. It was actually The Wild, Wild West and the villain was Dr. Loveless

[@KeatingChick]

I love your cat in the background! Did you recognize that beatboxer Adam was doing the castanet sound?

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I just assumed since he does all of the percussion sounds.

[@lisaseverance6785]

the show guess - Wild Wild West (My husband is a huge fan of the show) Not sure of the episode though. Now the song...when they do this live, which is every show since it is so popular, the crowd goes nuts and sings along. To hear about 200-300 people singing along is amazing! And the guys play into it. Such an awesome song. It's one of my wake up alarms in the mornings. LOL

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

You are correct with Wild Wild West and the villain was Dr. Loveless.

[@annehffry3284]

Subbed for more Home Free and Austin Brown.

[@Butterflyandhearts95]

Got to see these guys live a year ago February. Even better live. Such fun.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Just subscribed with hopes for more Home Free. Thanks for the reaction!

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Thanks for the sub! I will be doing more soon.

[@debbiehall9091]

This is such a great vi video especially since this was done during pandemic.❤️❤️❤️

[@bethcoussou]

I just subscribed! I’ve been a fan since the Sing Off! They are my favorite a cappella group, but I also love Voice Play almost as much. Austin is not the only Home Free member who has solo releases. Tim and Chance also have KZbin channels with covers, and Chance has a couple of originals. This was towards the end of the pandemic! Their live versions are amazing, as well!

[@LynnRamsay]

I just got your channel come up on my page. I don’t know how long it’s been since you reacted to Home Free but Adam Chance ( first singer ) took Chris Rupp’s place in 2016 and in June this year is Austin left and Adam Bastien has taken his place. Those are the only 2 that have left. Ubisoft heard their Sea Shanty Melody and loved it and approached them with this amazing opportunity to write a shanty for Skull And Bones video game .Chance loves sea shanties and everything to do with the sea and loves gaming he jumped at this amazing opportunity to write this.They also did a Lyric video sang a shorter version live at Ubisoft Live Premiere. Tim Foust and Adam Chance also do solo work and Chance just released an original song on his channel called Ancient History

#HOMEFREE

[@rontalty7654]

Greatness to see you back. ❤❤❤

[@audreyjohnson4599]

I believe the show was Wild, Wild West and Dr Migelito Loveless as the villain. If you want to hear Chance in the lead, try I Can't Outrun You.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Kudos on getting Dr. Loveless's first name in there as well. Is the Chance song from the horror version of Brokeback Mountain?

[@audreyjohnson4599]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenlThank you. Migelito Loveless is the only villain I clearly remember. Michael Dunn was the actor who portrayed him. I Can't Outrun You is a song by Trace Adkins, a country singer. No connection that I know of to a movie.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I was just making a joke about the famous line from Brokeback Mountain "I can't quit you". It was funny to me but if you don't know the original line it wouldn't make any sense of course.

[@MommaBird52]

Check out Austin's Bring Him Home.

[@jeanfieman4359]

It was The Wild Wild West and the villain was Dr Lovelace or Loveless

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Look at you go. Right on all counts.

[@MommaBird52]

You look like you could be Terry Fator's brother.

[@sag2horses]

THEY ARE INDEPENDENT NOW, SO YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COPY WRITE ISSUES, IF YOU DO TELL THEM😄

[@cwilliamson6572]

Was it the Wild Wild West and was it the short man aka dwarf.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

It was and the Villian was dr. Loveless

[@cathyvettes]

Imma need one more clue...please.. By the way.. Austin's in the red

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

If you mean a clue on the Robert Conrad show, it was later made into a movie in 1999 starring Will Smith. The villain was played by a dwarf. As far as Austin goes, I did eventually realize he was the one with the beard in the red later in the video.

[@cathyvettes]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl Okay... I'm gonna say Wild Wild West ?

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

We have a winner.

[@cathyvettes]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl YESSS !! Ok... And my prize is what ? Do I get to request another Home Free song ? How about Listen to the Music originally by my all time favorite band The Doobie Brothers.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZCaeoyYqreajbMsi=xbDu9nil0b7ZGf01 That is if you haven't done it already. I didn't even think to look first..

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I guess you have seen by now that I pre-uploaded your prize in anticipation of you being a winner. Feel free to ask for another one but check first because I have a few more on the channel.

[@teniahayzlett2709]

Did you hear the castenets (spelling) or as Fries call them castanots!

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I did but forgot to mention them.

[@ColleenCarr-l9w]

Loads for you to catch up on…lol..

[@civlwrbuf]

The show has to be Wild Wild West. I haven't seen the whole series or the episode but my guess is Dr. Loveless. You should rename this video The Night of the See Shanty Reaction.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

You are correct. Kudos to you.

[@christinadowdican3268]

Wild Wild West was the series, but I don't remember who the villain was.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

It was Dr. Loveless. I would say his only real arch villain.

[@kathyschaefer5768]

do the butts medley remix

[@texadian339]

Giant guess here...also WAY late but is it Bouahe of the Mimi?

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I had to look that up just to get the reference. Never even heard of that show. It was actually Wild Wild West and villain was Dr. loveless.

[@gailcline1910]

Was it Baa Baa black sheep

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

It was further back to Wild Wild West and the villain was Dr. Loveless. Nice guess though.

[@jeannewallace5383]

Yeh Austin is ...uhm a little extra!

[@eileenegger1466]

HATE. interruptions. I will not be back.
