The high bit was Austin and Rob in the beginning. They do live looping with voices at the shows so they show how it all plays out. We know what you’re talking about. No worries.

When they do this live, Tim sings about smoking and drinking and says during his verse, "don't do that kids." Then he sings aboyt running from the cops and says, "Don't do that either kids." It cracks the audience up.

From what I can tell, the arpeggio parts in the verses are being done by both Austin AND Rob; Austin's doing the high notes, and Rob's doing a harmony just underneath that. And I think it was most likely 'looped,' i.e. they'll have sung it 'live' into a looping machine for a full cycle at the beginning of the song, and then played it back on a continuous loop in the background while they layered other harmonies on top (that's something that can be done on a live performance as well, without it going outside the definition of being a 'live acapella performance.')

Expecting it to be H&F (if you aren't good at faces) is not as much of a stretch as it might be, because I'm pretty sure this was filmed in OR. I think the airport is the one they filmed Understand at, and you might recognize some of the "wide open spaces" and the railroad tracks from other videos for HF, H&F, Peter Hollens, Chris Rupp, and Tim.

The behind the scenes for this is pretty funny. I do know that when they did this in concert it was the song they used to demonstrate the use of a looper, so I assume they did something similar in the studio for the high-pitched background from Austin and Rob.

It's called a looper 😉. They used it for most repetitive parts (Adam, Chance, Austin, Rob). You can see it in any of their live performances of the song, or the bts if you're a patron. I love the song and what they did with it!

You absolutely must see the BTS here (From the Vault 23, I think). You will get an image of Chance and Austin that you cannot erase from your brain, not to mention what happens to Adam. The repeated ding-a-ling is easily achieved with a looper. Producer Darren Rust does not sit there making Austin sing the whole lot! How to kill a tenor, Part 1. You're right about the fireworks - a very odd part of the video. Reminds me of when I lived in Greece - at Easter two villages on opposite sides of a valley had the tradition of firing large homemade fireworks at each other. Very spectacular, but every year someone got killed and others maimed for life, crops burned, cattle stampeding, you name it. The authorities banned it, whereupon the villagers demanded their fun back. Weird. Surprised you didn't say more about Chance - to me he's the storyteller of the band, and he brings out some great highs too. His "inward" quality really gives you someone looking back. I heard him singing live last night (!) and it's amazing how much stronger his voice sounds live than when recorded. More weirdness.
@lazylady859110 ай бұрын
This song is very nostalgic for me. It reminds me of younger times with tailgating parties, line dancing, a boombox blasting from a pickup truck, and good old boys lighting up fireworks from a picnic table and nearly setting the house on fire. (The fireworks were illegal, but it was out in the country. All the neighbors watched the show), As the song states many of those people have moved on (including me) or died.

I think Home Free made this their own in that Ed's version is a young person looking forward and HF's version are older guys looking back. Both are so valid. I think it depends on the listeners age will determine which one they liked better. I love Home Free and really admire Ed Shereen and love his voice but for me, being 70 the HF version brings back so many memories of my youth that it tops Ed's version.

I think they use a looper now where they can sing a note or phrase and it records it and they repeat it. Adam is great at using the looper and they do it live (like with Man of Constant Sorrow). Chance will do the mouth harp sound into the looper so he doesn’t have to sing it too much as it hurts his voice. Love Austin’s highs in this song. Good reaction DJ! 🥰

Great video. Such a shame fireworks are illegal in Australia. They're pretty much ingrained in us at birth here, as it would be expected because of our national anthem (The Star Spangled Banner) line "the bombs bursting in air." It's part of a way of life we far too often take for granted I suppose. As teenagers we used to have "bottle rocket & roman candle wars" LOL. They were holding/shooting roman candles at each other in the video. Not real smart but sooooo much fun.
