    This is stunning, so moving and poignant. Don McLean, 78 years old and still singing beautifully, like a man half his age, what a complete legend! And who better than Home Free to do justice to this wonderful song? A real work of art! Rob’s beautiful singing brought a tear to my eye, he could have sung the lead throughout and would absolutely have done a wonderful job. I truly believe that Vincent Van Gogh would have approved of this tribute to his life!

I have been used to hearing Don singing solo all these years, but what a gorgeous addition of Chance, Adam and Tim. Adam, I marvel at your beat boxing, but it is always a wonderful treat when you are part of backing vocals. I don't know how these collaborations occurred, but what a wonderful, wonderful surprise. Don, thank you for entrusting your beautiful song with the guys. You created such a gorgeous song and their addition was perfect. Thank you all again.

      I can totally understand what you said. Problem is… a person could just have one day - one bad incident - to make them feel like they messed up so bad that they feel suicide is the only answer. I speak as the mother of a son who tried that route because he decided to go out with a fellow student one night and they were throwing rocks. My son had just turned 18, was weeks away from graduating and going into the Service. The kids got into trouble, when my son came home, he took a shotgun and shot himself - I was in the room…. I couldn’t figure out what he was doing in the closet until I heard the first “click”. I remember yelling at him to not do it, but it was too late. I couldn’t open the closet to get to him & when I called 911, he spoke saying he was alive. The surgeons worked on him for hours that night. He spent a couple of months in the hospital. I remember one “doctor” who kept trying to tell us he was depressed and needed to be sent away. He fought with her and kept saying it was that one time because he felt he totally messed up and wouldn’t be able to get in the Service as he had planned for years (my husband is retired military & our son wanted to do his part). His Recruiter told me he would not have had any problems - he knew my son very well, but…… Today….. over 20 years later, he is totally blind, has no nose (tried a prosthetic, but he was allergic to the glue), he has no upper palate, and relies on a trache. When he was first released, the docs had a feeding tube inserted & he was on a liquid diet. The tube kept coming out because he was moving around too much. Drs thought he’d never be able to eat solid food again, he fooled them there, too! He takes boxing lessons from a great trainer (he is a professional in FL), and he is about a year away from finishing Law School. That night over 20 years, he told me he felt an angel with him and it was the angel who helped move the shotgun. So…… DEPRESSION IS REAL, but there ARE those, like my son, who just had ONE THING, ONE DAY cause the depression which no one was prepared for. Believe me when I say, my other children were quite traumatized, and one had the hardest time visiting my mom in the hospital when she was dying a year later. They others are married and have children of their own now - they know what happened and love spending time and talking with their Uncle (oh, yes - the doctors all thought he’d never be able to talk again - like eating FOOD, he fooled them all - something they admitted surprised them but really made them rethink everything they thought they knew). It only takes one thing to make a person snap. I am grateful that he did not succeed all those years ago……. J

    My mother, then in her early 80's, went with me to the large Van Gogh show in Dallas. I had too much information. She had almost none. Enchanted, we looked at all the paintings. When we reached the very last ones, never reading any of the posted data, she seemed not to notice the silence of the viewers around us. She looked for a time at the unfinished painting, and said to me, "Oh no. Did this lovely man do harm to himself?" I could not answer, and neither could anyone else there. The silence was soon filled with the sounds of quiet mourning. It was as though we had all lost him again.

    A huge statement has been reinforced numerous times over the last half dozen years when notorious artists have collaborated with Home Free in singing legacy hits and in several cases have reached out to Home Free. Home Free has shown extraordinary respect to these artists to the point there is mutual respect and admiration that is very visible both ways. Home Free is a very humble group of guys who know how to pay their respects as they showcase these well-respected and well-known artists. Just wow, and we are the benefactors of this wonderful trust as they deliberately give each other and us a chance to enjoy once again a freshness to the decades that gone on before us with a wonderful tribute. Home Free is showing the industry a strong core value of High Regard, Strong Consideration, Attentiveness, High Opinion, and Due Regard for those who have set the stage for the music we enjoy today.
    Thank You Home Free, for your leadership by action that we all admire and appreciate doing things the right way!!!!!

This version to me is better than the original; it gives the song a new depth and warmth. Don sounded amazing, Rob was perfect for this and Rob and Austin’s harmonies were magical. I think I’ve listened to this at least 50 times already, it is so special. You are by far my favorite group, you touch my soul like no other group has or can. Please don’t ever stop making such beautiful music, you have an effect on people much deeper than you may realize. Love you guys! ❤

    Vincent was my favorite artist. At some point I learned of his "challenges" and the love that his brother Theo had for him. Theo knew that even tho he only sold one painting in his lifetime that he was great beyond the understanding in the art community at that time so he kept him supplied with supplies and a meager livelihood. The bond was so great that after Vincent died, Theo followed him just a few months later. Don did a great job with the writing of this song, and to hear him with these guys just puts the cherry on the pie!
