WARRP Reacts to Home Free...Sea Shanty Medley

[@lindareynolds8430]

#HOMEFREE......so good!

[@stanrock2225]

Adam's beat boxing is elite. The goat.

[@joansmith8436]

ok ... now check out the live version and really get the TIM bass. Y'all won't be disappointed! I have seen them sing this twice ... once indoors and once outdoors in the middle of a fairgrounds and both sounded the same. These guys are just too good for words! Tim's bass shook the seats both times!!! Austin channels his inner college training for musical theater to a tee!!!

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

We're reacting to it on our live show on 12/10

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

Austin has a degree in Theater Performance and LOVES to use his training! And Adam's castanets are amazing.

[@tenaseesherry]

This medley is super fantastic live! ❤

[@karsyndrewe3731]

#HomeFree #HomeFries They did a live version of this song as well.. Great reaction guys. I did notice bootchar singing along with the wellerman..lol love it!

[@raycardy4843]

Loved their energy in this one, and the way each one was faster than the previous one! I think 'When A Man Loves A Woman' was also done in quarantine, so only Austin in the studio, all the others were on monitor screens - and it blew me away! 👍

[@embran8486]

Just the Santiana Shanty people longed for home Free to do in full is recently covered by The Wellermen joined by The Bass Gang. A must watch!

[@jankreps5115]

This is so much fun! I love the drunken sailor song which the Irish Rover’s did years ago! I’m so impressed with Adam Rupp’s ability to make a cast net song with his mouth!! Each band member brought something special to this Medley!! Nice reaction!

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thank you!

[@minneyruth]

Thanks guys ❤

[@cherylschroeder3344]

Now that you’ve watched this one, check the live version. It’s awesome!!

[@darleneroberts9187]

You need to watch the live version, it is sooo good. Great reaction.

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thank you! We'll be doing a live react to it in 12/10

[@corawilhelm4968]

Home Free did a video every other week during the pandemic. We eagerly await each new song. They even made a song called Quarantine

[@welshlad691]

This was a great example of doing something they enjoy, and keeping their spirits up during such difficult circumstances. So glad to see you reacting to it, shows a hint of what characters they are. They have a blast singing, the whole group are some of the friendliest guys you could meet. If you ever react to some of their live show clips you'll see that they have a great time with their fans, and some of their entertainment between sets are hilarious. Ogre, we always watch to the end, and yes there is no way of saying that without it sounding creepy

[@kmwwrench]

Such fun. The highlight for me is Adam's castanets in Santiana. There is a professionally produced video of them doing this live in concert that really gives you an idea of how electric the atmosphere is. I was in the audience and it was amazing. Definitely worth a look.

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

That is awesome!

[@pappydreactions]

This was awesome. I think ywll are ready for "Mayday." Great job guys.

[@joywright8794]

I love the castanets! Adam Rupp is the GOAT!

[@DravenGal]

This is my favorite Sea Shanty Medley. Home Free is so lovable and entertaining. Voiceplay did my favorite versions of Wellerman and Drunken Sailor, BUT, I saw this before I saw VP's so it has a special play in my heart! And I especially like their version of "Leave Her." Or whatever it's called!

[@babyfry4775]

When they released this during Covid it went viral and attracted Ubisoft, the game maker, to them. They asked Chance if he would write a shanty for their new pirate game called Skull and Bones. It’s great and Tim goes wicked low in it. Tim was afraid to move in this one as he was standing in a boat. He was afraid he’d fall out. Austin majored in musical theater in college….can you tell?!!! Hahaha. Love it!!!🥰😍 They also have a live version of this in concert that’s great. It was filmed last Christmastime I think. Enjoy!!!

[@MommaBird52]

The live version from Berlin is fantastic!

[@MommaBird52]

Also, from Norway, they did Skull and Bones with Tim giving accolades to Chance.

[@lisaseverance6785]

These guys are full time with music. When the lockdowns started, they were on tour in Europe and they had to hustle to be able to even get home to the point that Tim and his wife had to leave some of their clothing behind. Before the lockdowns, they had made a promise to their fans to put out 2 videos a month. They decided they wanted to keep that promise but if they couldn't be in the studio together how would they do it? They all lived in a total of three different states? They told this to their producer Darren Rust (also co-writer, arranger, mixer, engineer and an acapella singer himself) and he told them what equipment they would need and how to set it up so that they could still remotely work in the studio. The only one that actually went into the studio was Rob because he lives near it. The guys had to learn how to do camera work for their videos and they kept their promise to the fans. The creativity was so cool...check out their video for "Meet in The Middle"...the transitions are amazing! "Down to the Honkytonk" was another good one, that lets you see a little bit of their home life.

[@paulastephens2640]

They have an entire album of shutdown music. The Sounds of Lockdown. Most if not all have videos as well.

[@gardenlove6356]

I love how Ogre really enjoys Home Free. I'm with you Ogre 100%. Rewatching all your Home Free reaction videos over and over. NEED MORE OF THEM GUYS. Hope your holiday season was great!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

More definitely coming

[@garryandjanepannell8594]

Ogre I loved it all but what really impressed me was Adam's use of castanets in Santiana. I had to 'dance' along with Jersey and did most of the same moves😆!

[@philbrown2563]

You really need they dropped a live version of the sea shanty melody. even better than the studio version.

[@donnamhall8491]

We got to that point! LOL Love your Home Free reactions!

[@donnaflynn9615]

Did you notice the castanets sounds that Adam was making in the last song! Awesome beatboxing skills!!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

In Adam Rupp's case that would be casta-nots.

[@minnieduncan5327]

They do some solo things too....check out Time Foust doing will you still love me tomorrow/stay...shows his incredible range...then Austin Brown breathtaking version oh Bring him home....have tissues

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Quarantine was the first video that recorded separately in their own homes during the quarantine. I think they tried to come out with another every other Friday. Some of them were Sunday Best, Down to the Honkytonk, Meet in the Middle, and Flowers on the Wall. Another is I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by Peter Hollens feat. Home Free. Another great one is Just Sing by VoicePlay. Be sure to have closed captions on for that one.

[@tracyallshouse2730]

They done " Sunday Best " during civid too.

[@brendagrothier967]

Now you need to react to their LIVE version they put out recently. I have seen them in person twice singing this....they sound just as good as any video.

[@jeannewallace5383]

What can we say about Austin? Well he has a degree in Musical Theater, enough said !

[@debbiehall9091]

This is an amazing video. These boys make great videos even in quarantine.❤️❤️❤️

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Home Free were recording from home throughout the pandemic! Watch the live version of this!

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

We're reacting to it on our live show on 12/10

[@jimhester1205]

Home Free did quite a few videos during the pandemic. Keep watching, you'll see more of them.

[@bikertrash64babe]

Hi Guys😀 Helplessly Hoping Please 😀

[@roniboyd613]

Yup, blow 4 minds at the same time!!

[@VJ_9014]

At the time they did this, there was a huge fad going on, on TikTok so they decided to do their version. It went viral. So much so that people were uploading duets and dance videos to it. It was really fun. That's why it was filmed in portrait mode with a little HF logo in the corner that looks like TikTok's logo. They released a 'live' version of this which is really cool. They did a lot of videos during covid. "Meet In The Middle" is one of my favorites along with "On The Road Again". Y'all are becoming one of my favorite reactors! Y'all are so much fun!!

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thank you, so much!

[@DravenGal]

Home Free and Peter Hollens did some of their best work under Quarantine. If you haven't checked out Peter's Epic Hand Washing Parody, you must! It's EPIC! Also his Quarantine Song...

[@annehffry3284]

Home Free’s touring schedule is a lot, and they were doing even more shows before Covid hit. It was an abrupt change for everyone when Covid hit. But for Home Free, they were touring in Europe and had to make a sudden change in plans and get back home ASAP, before the borders closed. Then, no shows for a year and a half -when that’s their main income. During that time they became even more creative, recording in their closets at home, and then having their producer put it all together. So many great Home Free videos entertained us during the pandemic.

[@roniboyd613]

Sure kept us sane, or mostly sane 😉

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Plus Austin and Tim did a lot of song writing that bore sweet fruit later. Austin is still doing a lot of song writing for tiktok videos with his bride Amberly.

[@neocelestia]

Several re-watches later and every time, 6:40 - 7:00 AJ's full on commitment to the bit of staring "UP" at Jersey's antics had me giggling like an idiot lol! xD Nicely done!

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

They released a live version. You need to check it out. Tim sounds even better. They all do.

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

We plan on reacting to it live on our two year anniversary, 12/11/2023 starting at 8:30 PM ET

[@karinfichtner7479]

Tim is wearing the whole "Capt. Jack Sparrow" look.....but Austin has captured Capt Jack's crazy eyes and movements. This was Chance's idea, and he talked HF into going along with it. It was when Ubisoft saw this video that they got inspired to ask Chance to write "Skull & Bones" for their new game. BTW...Tim is standing in a little boat filming this, so he can't move without tipping it. Hence the waving of the tankard.😊

[@deniseduncan7363]

Fun! Good morning from Cali

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Morning!

[@meemermarie1977]

Have u checked out their cover of “brothers in arms” ? Tim leads and stays in his bass. Makes it an extra haunting song

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

We might be dropping our reaction to it tomorrow in tribute to Veterans Day

[@sandrastorer5628]

Home Free was very resourceful within the pandemic limitations. I believe they did Never Gonna Give You Up during that time. And oh wow, someone else who knows the movie Hook, little known or regarded, but one of my favorites. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman deserved much more recogition for that one!

[@MonicaGoodwin-qz5gd]

Great reaction ❤️. HF🤠🔥💯

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thank you!

[@billparrish4385]

Tim's pirate costume reminds me of Judge Reinhold's Captain Hook Fish & Chips restaurant costume, in _Fast Times At Ridgemont High._ 🏴‍☠😎

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

I see it, now! Lol

[@nancyholter5646]

They basically went from 200+ gigs a year to sitting in their homes across the country from each other. They did discover that 200+ gigs a year had them perilously close to burn out that they hadn't seen coming, and have since drastically cut back on their tour schedule. Three of the guys amped up their song writing, I think Adam took the opportunity to revamp his mid-show solo act, and they STILL managed to put out a video almost every 2 weeks - recording at home and working long distance with both their video and music producers. For some truly amazing editing work, watch their Meet in the Middle.

[@dianadickerson749]

Imagine looking out your kitchen window and seeing a pirate standing in a boat and singing. Their live version is awesome also!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

this is such a bop and it’s one of their most watched videos. They also do a fantastic rendition of this at their live shows ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@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. The live version they did recently is great!

[@donnaflynn9615]

There is a Sea Shanty Live performance just released a few weeks ago that lets you hear exactly what their sound is like when you go see one of their concerts. Very impressive! Awesome harmonies!

[@roniboyd613]

They released a cd "Sounds Of Lockdown" with all the songs they released on YT during lockdown. They kept their spirits up and ours❤ Great reaction guys, thank you 😊

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thanks for the info and thank you

[@rllangevin3841]

@@weaintraisedrightpodcastplease check out their parody “Quarantine” written by Tim, it’s a must! #HomeFree never disappoints!!

[@teresamontgomery9060]

A video that you might like is 9 to 5 live with beatboxing breakdown. It's pretty awesome.

[@belinda9696]

Austin (the middle guy) has had musical theatre training in his background and he was really playing that part. 😅

[@tinanichols203]

Austin was bringing forth his Captain Jack Sparrow vibes.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Home Free kept right on dropping songs regularly during nearly a year of separation and absence from tours and concerts. Making the best of what they had at home, they kept us fans from thinking too much about the pandemic or the loneliness of staying home alone. They learned a lot about production in the meantime. And did you notice Adam's amazing castanets in the last number? Thanks for sharing this one with us.

[@cjsjr249]

🔥🔥🔥

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Austin's degree is in musical theatrical performance if that helps explain his antics.

[@LynnRamsay]

Chance brought the idea of making this medley to the rest of the guys and it wound up being a huge hit.They also just released not long ago a Live version of this Ubisoft heard their Sea Shanty Melody and loved it so Ubisoft approached Home Free with an amazing opportunity to write a shanty for Skull And Bones video game they are releasing. Chance loves sea shanties and everything to do with the sea and loves gaming so he jumped at the opportunity.The shanty is a full version Lyric video They also sang a shorter version at Ubisoft Live Premiere.It’s beyond epic.A lot of reactors do both the lyric and live in the same reaction because the live is much shorter and you get to see who is doing what.

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

The Bass Gang and the Wellermen did a collab on Santiana not too long ago. Bobby is a member of both groups. And have you guys done Skull and Bones by Home Free? Chance wrote that for a video game.

[@debbieblake2708]

These guys put out a song every other week during lockdown. All of them great!!! Tim in his jack sparrow outfit.... was to small, so he didn't move much in this video. #homefree

[@hayley_council]

So this video was the reason Obisoft reached out to Home Free and asked if they would write a song for their new game Skull and Bones. Chance is the one who pushed them to do a video on sea shanties and was the one that wrote Skull and Bones. This is their most viral video to date. That said, the they released a live version a few months ago that is spectacular, you should watch. And you missed Rupp's castanet sounds in this. So they did a whole album worth of pandemic videos, all done very creatively. And no, the guys don't have average jo jobs. :) In an interview after the Sing Off, they were asked how they feel about becoming successful. And the answer was, we have been supporting 5 house holds before the Sing Off, that is being successful. Great job guys, keep it up.

Great reaction! Now you might want to watch the recently released live version. LoL. Do you think Austin and Tim had pirate costumes in their closets just waiting for this moment? Love these guys so much. Thanks for the Home Free reactions

[@chericeevans9990]

Definitely check out the record live version that they released

[@teresacartwright5406]

This is one of their 'quarantine' series of videos. Tim (bass) is standing so still 'cuz he was standing in a boat in his brother-in-law's back yard. Their singing, harmonies & beatboxing are always on point. Thanks for playing this & your comments. BTW, they each have channel(s) of their own and Home Free's series "From the Vault" (behind the scenes filming of their videos) & "Home Away From Home" are terrific too.

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thanks for the info!

[@alandonley8030]

Great reaction guys. If you wanna hear Tim singing in the depths of his range you should do Brothers in Arms.

[@eacole72]

This was recorded at about the time that Rob & Tim decided to stop consuming alcohol, for various reasons. So likely nothing spirited in their cups, at least. The clothes were based upon what sailors of various eras wore. Well, of course, Tim was doing Pirate of the Caribbean. "Santiana" is a corruption of Santa Anna, the Mexican general who conquered the Alamo and was later defeated. Austin was channeling him, I think. The live recording of this is awesome. Completely worth reacting to, as well. This went viral in a way they didn't expect, and it led to some other opportunities for them. ("Skull And Bones", for the win!)

[@Rose_FallGaming]

Joe i agree with you on the creepy part. that was different for sure

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Such a fun reaction yall!

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thank you!

[@marciaramirez3791]

Adam Rupp's castanets was awesome. If you noticed Tim didn't move much during the video, he was standing in a boat and every time he moved the boat threatened to topple over. Glad you enjoyed their mashup. Need to checkout their live performance of Sea Shanty, just released. Thanks for the giggles, had a great time watching.

It's so fun!

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

Do their song “Quarantine” which was a parody of the song “Honesty” by Billy Joel. It was hilarious!!😂

[@neocelestia]

What can I say but "YES! FINALLY!!" Been waiting for this reaction since the guys first hinted it'd been recorded and am now kicking myself for napping mid-day and missing the initial drop! xD lmao! SO FRIGGIN HAPPY that this is finally out and that you all seemed to thoroughly enjoy it! Cannot wait to hear what you thought of Skull and Bones! Thanks for another great reaction, boys! Cheers!

The creepiest thing about Austin is the way he holds that sword as if it were a baseball bat in the last song - I'm really hoping/guessing that it's a prop and not sharp at all!

[@beadwright]

Assignment: Dress like a sailor! Chance: I'll go as Bill Murray in the Life Aquatic... wait dammit, my whale shirt isnt here in the Amazon order. Oh well no one will care if I wear the same color shirt with a Z on it. (6 months later Russia invades Ukraine and uses the z on all tanks). Rob - I'll dress as a Great Lakes sailor. Austin- Going as Sinbad with my relatives Masonic sword... Amberly will you help with the costume? Tim- I can check the costume shop.... Adam- I can find something in my D&D chest....

[@chanceparker5154]

Y’all should do Geoff casteluchi man of constant sorrow

[@glowormrdr6183]

Nobody ever seems to notice the whale on Chance's t-shirt. I don't know what the symbol on the first t-shirt is, though. He has quite a few tattoos so it probably means something relevant.

[@homefry707]

Thanks for the tonguing information. 😂 That sounds like one of the worst jobs ever.

The entire idea came from Chance the guys agreed you have seen the result.
