This is one of their masterpieces, and an early one, at that! It's early proof of Adam Rupp's full musical talents -- his arrangement is complex and magnificent. I listen to this often, regardless of the time of year. Even in October! And Tim's low notes, live, are just as amazing. Love your reaction to this one, especially!

@lindanearing4710 Жыл бұрын

This wasn't a Christmas song that I especially cared for prior to this Home Free version. This is, to me, spectacular. So complex and beautiful. Adam's arrangement of this is awesome. He also arranged Honey, I'm Good. I wish he would arrange more because he clearly has a gift for it. I watch this video all year round because it's too good to save just for Christmas. Sometimes when I hear music that is so, so beautiful, it makes my heart hurt in a good way. Home Free's music does that to me on a regular basis. This is one of those songs. As usual, you provide a great reaction. Thanks.

This is the group that won the Sing Off season 4. Chris Rupp left to pursue other musical things and was replaced by Adam Chance. They have been stable since that. Note that at one point they do the same phrase in 4 different octaves. This is truly one of their masterpieces.

@lrfcowper Жыл бұрын

When Adam brought this to the guys, they turned it down because it was too complex. Then they finally changed their minds, but said they'd record it but there was no way they'd ever sing it live. Nowadays, it's one of their standards at Christmas concerts. The thing that strikes me about Adam's arrangements is they're very confident about what his fellow band members can do (that 5 octaves in 5 seconds part) and they're very instrumental oriented, as in he's treating the voices like instrumental parts. This is probably the most complex a cappella arrangement I've ever heard and it blows my mind every time.

I agree with all of your "wows"! This is definitely in my top three favorites of theirs. It might be number one, but it's just so hard to say! Depends on the day. It's great when they do it live, too. They're all just really incredible musicians, not just singers. This song is the whole package for me. Aside: When you listen to it again (and I bet you will), you'll notice more things each time. It's really fun to just follow Tim's bass line throughout, too, especially how it plays off Adam's percussion. What a talent they both are, and just so stinkin' accurate, it's not fair! Great reaction!

Adam Rupp is a magician with arraignment. The intricacies of counterpoint in the vocal elements are kind of like listening to a Bach Fugue. With the accompaniment of vocal and percussion elements spinning out endlessly, what could easily descend into chaos, instead becomes a beautiful intertwining of textures and sounds, WOW. So much going on, but blending seamlessly. Musical Alchemy is the only description that even come close. Glad to see you enjoy this as much as I did. Love your reactions.

I don’t really like Christmas music but this is amazing! I don’t know if you have reacted to it, but Tim’s solo version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay gives a glimpse of the soundboard during recording. Chris Chatham typically produces Tim’s music, from what I can gather. Chris Chatham also played guitar on So Long Dixie and collaborates with both Tim and Austin. He’s another a cappella singer (Blue Jupiter ?) who mostly does other things now.

Yeah, this has to be in my top 2 for HF. It's brilliant. I heard that Adam doesn't do more arrangements for them because they are too complex. Also, I don't think they have to do much with mixing Tim's voice. You have to watch him sing "Ring of Fire" live on the tv competition "The Sing Off", in which they won. It sounds exactly the same. The trick is how he uses the microphone.... and his thick booming voice. I think it's time you went through the episodes of The Sing Off. There are two versions one with just the songs and one with the full episodes.

This was recorded right across the freeway from where I previously lived, so very familiar with the frigid, snowy MN conditions. Minnesotans Chris, Adam and Rob pretty unfazed. Southerners Tim and Austin not too thrilled. For having watched reactors for a long time, revisiting the various HF vids through new eyes of those just now discovering the guys always gives a fresh perspective. Not uncommon to see or hear something not noticed before. If you choose to rewatch any of your earlier videos, chances are it'll be a totally different experience.
