Hey, you there, reading the comments -- it's become clear that I was WAY OFF in my guess at how old this particular Christmas song was (I'm also laughing at myself lol). I appreciate everyone taking the time to correct that error, but no need to be the 100th person to do so -- the first few comments settled that score very quickly 😂 I hope you enjoy the rest of the analysis!!

Mark Lowry wrote this, in Dec 1996

Tim and Chance have been working together, so that may be the reason it sounds like Tim. 307 Reacts heard this song in concert, and said Chance was doing the bass, and that it sounded the same as the studio version, so I think it’s Chance doing the bass.

Thank you for a great reaction. I have been hoping you would do this one. If you haven’t heard Do you Hear What I Hear, even for your own enjoyment.

I hope you feel better soon.

Home Free did such an excellent job with this!!! This has been a great month for innovative covers of old/traditional songs (big shoutouts to Geoff Castellucci and Tomi P + Casper Fox for their amazing covers as well). I really, really like how much artistic freedom they took to make this piece their own, while also staying true the core of the song. Bravi, tutti!

[pennyeaton]

All the guys are remarkable, but I personally think Chance is the most underrated voice of the group. He does all the bass on this, and many others, but with a 4 octave range, his natural baritone just contributes so much, whether coveirng bass, harmony or lead. Having 2 quality basses, and 3 quality tenor voices, just gives them the flexibility to do just about any thing in any genre. Love this!

[sickair]

You really need to check out the Home Free cover of Mayday, really shows how crazy high Tim can go in his range and also a great bass line from Chance.

[neonesf]

Voctave's version featuring Mark Lowry is a must watch.

[cavamom]

This R&B vibe of Mary Did You Know is now #1 on my Christmas playlist.

[melindahancock]

Mary Did You Know was actually released 1996 by Mark Lowry and Buddy Green they participates with the Gaither gospel music organization. I found it to be a beautiful piece. It gives a different aspect to the gift God gave mankind.

[nelbrown]

Peter, I’ve listened to several of your reactions and interpretations of Home Free songs, but without a doubt, I think this one for’Mary, Did You Know?’, is really one of the best!!
I love Home Free, I really enjoy this songs & their messages ❤and as far as I’m concerned, you’re one of the best!!

Here’s a suggestion — get their video of HF doing ‘Pretty Woman’.
They are dressed to the nines w/gold lame’ jackets ’ (not sure how this is spelled — being a former Reference Librarian over 30 yrs. in Dallas & Salt Lake City, you’d think I’d look it up and verify !!

Oh! I almost forgot a very important item in this video, Besides the gold jackets. They’ve all got pompadours!! Whoever styled their hair, and I think it was wives & girl friends, did an incredible job. They must have gotten a lot of laughs that day.

Blessings and best wishes — and get well soon.

Fun fact, Geoff Castelluci sometimes arranges pieces for home free.

[debbienorris]

So glad you reacted to this one! Enjoyed it so much! Hard to believe but I think Chance covers the low bass this whole song! These guys keep us interested with all their surprises!

[loriloy]

Merry christmas, happy New Year, hope all is well in your world!

[tassilo]

Beautiful song, made for these guys. Love the perfect harmonies of Home Free. The beginning of Tim is so beautiful. Someone once compared it to dark liquid chocolate, fantastic. It's also always fascinating how the guys can switch roles. Chance is great with his bass line. And Adam's beatboxing is out of this world. Love your detailed reactions, thanks for that!

[miamidolphinsfan]

Thanks sir for you always amazing analysis if songs, and thank you for coming back and reacting to Home Free

[annebiebrich]

When they are live Chase and Tim can sound alike in their bass lines

[brendajohansen-falgren]

I truly believe those really deep rumbling base sounds that you hear especially toward the end is Adam Rupp. It is just like the drop the bass segments at the very end of his drum solos

[Smilodon]

"Hundreds of years...?" Try 1991... That may seem like centuries ago to a whippersnapper such as yourself, but for us old folks (57), that makes this a new song... This is one of the relatively few contemporary Christmas songs that I really enjoyed performing in a large men's chorus. Anyway, I couldn't help but get a chuckle from that chronological faux pas. Thanks for the comic relief...

[conniejones]

🎵🎶🎵What Christmas means to me!! 🎶🎵🎶. Home Free!
Not many more days for Christmas songs! This is fun!

[amijen]

An incredible Home Free arrangement of a Christmas song is their version of Do You Hear What I Hear.

[milanhannessen]

Thats what christmas means to me from Home Free is also a song that is super fun And cool to watch en listen to
