I love the Home Free version but I have literally stood hand on heart with tears hearing Lee Greenwood sing it as well. You are a proud nation of very patriotic people!! God Bless the USA!

      Know that we here in America ALSO appreciate our Canadian neighbors to the North. We each have wonderful things about our countries that we hold dear, but the most fantastic thing to me is to know that we can count on you and you can count on us when the going gets tough. Ditto for England (UK), Australia, New Zealand too. We hold this world together as a group and we need to stick together no matter what.

    I remember Lee Greenwood performing this on a Bob Hope USO Christmas show during the Gulf War. I bawled like a baby when I watched so many service men -in uniform - crying their hearts out in the audience. At home by myself at the time, I felt the obligation to stand and honor both my country and the men and women defending it.

    @loririchards2602 2 года назад +4

    Thank you for your service!!!! Adam Rupp is the beat boxer, he is the one who started Home Free. Adam Chance, they call him Chance, trades off with Tim on bass, but also sings an amazing baritone. Rob is lead tenor, and his voice is smooth as silk. Rob studied opera. He and Austin have an aria that they have recorded together. Austin studied music-theater, and i wouldn't say he has a common voice. He is their high tenor and can do about anything with his voice. The soloists from the Air Force Band have phenomenal voices, as do Home Free. Lee Greenwood still made this a song that will go down in history.

    Rob who is from Minnesota sings "from the lakes of Minnesota, Tim who is from Texas sings "across the plains of Texas, and Chance who was born in Florida and lives in California sings "from sea to shining sea". I believe that some of the Airmen are from where they sing as well. There is so much meaning in this song. I love the Jet sound that Rupp makes at the end. Amazing.

    What a powerful compilation! Each three of these groups alone is phenomenol, but put together are untouchable! There are no musical instruments, of course! HOMEFREE carries their instruments in each perfect mouth! The beatboxer, Adam Ruff, can make every sound from a harmonica to snare drums! The bass, Tim Foust, has a 5 octave range and his tenor is as beautiful as is his bass, powerful! He is writing some fantastic songs for the group, now! The other 3 are unbelievable and harmonize better, in my opinion, than any other accapella group out there! The Airforce Band is spectacular and of course this would not be possible without the wonderful songwriting and vocals of the GREAT Lee Greenwood! He is an American treasure! Thank you for your glowing reaction and special THANKS to these 3 groups for coming together to honor AMERICA! ❤

    I didn't know what to do with my life until i enlisted in the USAF. I was a communications technician then enlisted leader until i retired. I continued as a contractor, and now I'm an Air Force civilian. Looking back, joining the AF was the best decision i ever made. I have lots of great memories and made some good friends along the way. This song, this arrangement, this delivery sums it all up for me. Watching you "keep it together" was worth it.

    Adam's beatboxing in this is just out of this world. The military cadence toward the end and then the fighter jet flyover sound at the very end!
    FYI, the bass-baritone Adam Chance just goes by Chance. He joined in 2016, but beatboxer Adam Rupp is the only remaining founding member from when they started in 2000, so he has 16 years' seniority and "dibs" on the name 😁

    I've heard this a couple of dozen times but I still get goosebumps every time I hear it. Lee Greenwood said he enjoyed being able to "ad lib" a little bit this time because Home Free was able to carry the basic tune for him. Did you hear Adam Rupp's version of a jet flyover at the very end? BTS, if you really want to hear Adam Chance ("Chance") sing, check out their cover of "Born in the USA" that they just released. Great reaction!

    I’ve always loved this song & cry every time I hear it. My oldest son went into the US Marines.
    At his graduation, the Marine Band played this. Luckily, I’d brought a hand towel from the motel.
    When they started playing this song, I put that towel up to my face & just sobbed. You could hear all those new Marines sniffling & see tears running down their faces. I’ll never forget that beautiful, emotional, touching moment.

  • @pennygarrity386

    Hey Tom welcome back to Home Free, we missed you brother ! Lee said he felt more free to sing as he wished in this recording than he's ever felt before, and he thanked Home Free for allowing that. He's always felt constrained in the past to make it sound like the original....Lee is an artist, and they like to try new things & was thankful that Home Free told him to do his thing !!! They said they trusted him, and this was the result !!!! And it's my favorite version of the song now....and this is being played at stadiums & other places now, over the older versions. Tom you've missed some extraoridinary music by Home Free, and please do reactions to People featuring Jeffrey East...the song is beautiful, but the video is amazing & it says a lot about things Home Free believes in...inclusiveness, tolerance & loving all....as weare all "Just People" as the song states....please a special request here for that one...can you bring your wife on board for that one, as you as a couple I think will enjoy it

    I've loved this song since it was released and it's never lost it's power over me! Lee Greenwood said that after performing this song basically the same way for decades, he was finally able to adlib the way he had never been able to before. And when Adam starts in on that snare towards the end I always get goosebumps and tears. Usually before that to be honest, but definitely as soon as that snare hits, I'm done for! Thank you for your service and sacrifices! And thank you for the great reactions. ❤

    You guys are trained to eat your guts and ask for seconds but it still amazes me how much emotion you show when you try to explain the love for your country. Thank you for keeping us safe and letting us life our life’s free.

    Many hugs for your service. My late husband was Navy for 7 years and always wished he stayed in. My whole family is vets. Thank you everyone who loves this country. My tears join yours.

    I'm not a big home free fan as I'm more ptx and I don't care for country music but this version of this song is superb. The best part is the air force choir. There's a.lot recently that has given cause to shake that American pride but we're slowly limping back.

    I actually got to see the boys preform this song live. Totally overwhelmed by the crowds response, everyone was on their feet. When Tim hit those low notes you could feel the floor vibrate. If you ever get the chance to see Home Free live it’s well worth it.
