I am a 76 year old American combat veteran who has always loved and been moved by Dire Straits original. But the first time I heard Home Free do this version I literally burst out in tears.
Their harmonies in this are so haunting and beautiful. Having two incredible bass singers really gives this song a different feel than any other group could.
Tim Foust taught the other one...I can't even think of his name and he is from my adopted state of Alabama, to sing bass. He did a great job, didn't he guys? Chance is his name! They are both wonderful; however, I believe that Tim is better!!!
This song has renewed meaning now with what is going on in Ukraine. The original Dire Straits song has been on my playlist since it came out over 30 years ago.
@@ОксанаКоваль-р7я My heart aches for Ukraine, your precious homeland. I'm so very sorry for the devastation and loss! So despicable and senseless. My prayers are being said for the country of Ukraine and each Ukrainian. ♥️🙏
Everybody Walkin This Land is another video from Home Free with a powerful message. Both of these songs are on their Land of the Free album which has patriotic music but the overall message is anti-war, anti-bigotry, peace and acceptance.
I want to compliment you on such a wonderful station. I can tell that you take music into your heart & actually love it. Your reactions to all of the music, whether it is gospel, patriotic, or even country seems like a real & honest reaction. THANK YOU for giving your time to uplift us with the best of music.
This wonderful song is a total MASTERPIECE! It was written and sang by Dire Straits. In my opinion, Tim Foust is the best all around singer in HOMEFREE. With a 5 octave range, he can make his bass and tenor sound equally beautiful! I absolute love his voice and overall sound. Anyone usually can spot him, right from the first syllable of the first word that he utters! Of course, he is spectacular! I really like "My Maria", with Austin Brown. If you haven't heard it, you really should. I agree, I think "Brothers In Arms" is one of the most powerful songs that HOMEFREE has done! By the way, Tim is an absolutely wonderful songwriter. HOMEFREE has sung and recorded many of his songs and others have also recorded much of his work! He is such an all around great musician; need I say more! Everyone in the group is spectcular, but Tim just stands out to me! Great song; great singers!!! Dire Straits sang it wonderfully, but HOMEFREE put their own twist to it and turned it into a masterpiece; making it their own!
♥ I loved your reaction to this, during which I had a thought. You're British and on a journey to learn more about a cappella and American country music. This is a British song performed by an a cappella, American country group. It's a match made in heaven!
This HomeFree version gets me in the heart everytime I hear it. Don't get me wrong it is very beautiful but some of my military family didn't make it home . Love this version more than any other one. They did an excellent performance. . Such a touching message for the world's difficulties at this time. 🌎✌❤
This song is powerfully emotional, I reacted the same as you did when I first heard it. This song was released in 1985 and was taken from the Falklands War. It tells the story of a soldier who is wounded and knows he is going to die. VERSE 1: talks about how he going to be buried in mountains even though his home was in the lowlands. VERSE 2 : though wounded his brother-in arms did not leave him. VERSE 3; talks about are different cultures in are one world and we should not kill our brothers-in -arms. The harmonies are just outstanding and I love how they made the sounds of a church pipe organ seem so real. This has become one of Home Free’s signature songs, truely outstanding. Thank you for your reaction and have a great day
Mr Taylor, very good to see you back with Home Free. We told ya, Brothers in Arms was special. It just proves the talent these men have & that they love their craft. I've got 4 songs on my Home Free list for ya....1) One-Man Band (very uplifting song about not being alone) 2) Heaven (Kane Brown cover) a song about the love you have for your partner, 3) Dreamer, Live at the Ryman featuring Texas Hill (an original by Home Free) & finally 4) Dive Bar Saints - another original written directly for them by their friend, Arliss Allbritton, a well known Nashville songwriter, that has been a Grammy nominee...have fun with those...I think you'll enjoy, especially Dreamer because it's a live performance in front of about 5,000 fans in a theater.
The guys from Home Free are masters of harmonies. It's fantastic how they recreate the mood of the song - a masterpiece. And Tim's fantastic bass voice is in my eyes the best there is at the moment, so powerful, expressive and flawless.
I probably should have waited till after i had dinner to watch you react to this. I am such a suck, i cry anytime anyone else even gets a little emotional. Good thing i was having chicken. It needed the salt. Great reaction. Thank you. Keep the HF coming.
Home Free released this last year for Veterans Day here. They are unapologetically patriotic and they don't shy away from sensitive social issues! A few good message songs are Everybody Walkin This Land (make sure you listen to Tim's message at the end), People ft Jeffrey East and One Voice ft Billy Gilman. This video is so very powerful and so relevant! Keep up the great reactions!
A farmer from the Lowlands who always thought he'd grow old and be buried there answers the call to arms. Sent a world away, he and his brothers fight against enemy brothers in arms. He falls and dies knowing he'll never see home again. This begins the song
Yes, this version of Home Free will send shivers through your entire body! This is so emotional, especially with what is happening in Ukraine. Beautifully sung by Tim and Chance, but the background and harmony of Adam, Rob and Austin is also so beautiful. It looks like a choir or actually a kind of church organ sounds. And the whole setting of the video is just amazing. Simple but with so many details that makes it so profound
Beautifully sung in a haunting way. It does bring tears to most of the people who have heard them sing this song. Thank you for a very well done reaction. Land of the Free has been suggested and it is a very good uplifting song.
2/2/23 This tore me up. I see my Country falling apart my fellow Americans hating each other. I'm 65 and thought we had put racism to bed. My heart breaks that it's all started up again.
Yes, our America pulling on our Republic with son against mother in my case. Then Ukraine and the Russian meatgrinder. I fear sending my grandson to fly over the fields of Europe if we don’t stand by out Allies.
I've heard this dozens of time now, and it makes me cry every time. Powerful song, powerful words...masterfully sung by HF. You are right - they were smart to not get fancy and just let the power of the song and the message shine through. Sadly such a pertinent message right now as war rages in Europe. May I recommend "Unchained Melody" next? I looked through your list and you don't appear to have covered that one yet and it's a fairly new release. Another example of the guys going back to the root meaning of a song and getting it "just right."
Wasn't this just the most beautiful thing!? The ethereal music made my heart so happy, but the lyrics are so heart wrenching it really pulls me in 2 different directions. They did a spectacular job with this. Their musical instincts are always spot on, aren't they?
THANK YOU so very much for reacting to this one!! With all that is happening in Ukraine right now, this reaction couldn't have been done at a better time. I also want to thank you for not only analyzing the performance from a musicality standpoint, but also from how the lyrics are making us feel. I have watched other reactors skip over the message of the song, which to me is the most important element. I wipe away tears every time I hear this song and I was glad to see it touched you as much as it did me...haunting, emotional, powerful, patriotic, beautiful. For me, hands down, one of the very best Home Free covers ever!
Thank you for your reaction to such a beautifully done song. Many fellow reactors have shed a tear or two. Sharing the human experience of dying is such a poignant time. It also delivers a powerful message of peace.
The emotion in your face was all that was needed. They always hit home with their brilliant style, harmonies and interpretation of songs. As a being on this planet we can only hope that everyone will unite as one...to be Brothers in Arms. Thank you for "Brother" for this recognition and reaction. I really love your channel. I would love to see you react to Helplessly Hoping and American Pie. There are at least 20 more I could suggest, but I know you will get to them too :)
You're in good company - I cry every time I listen to this. And so much more given the current situation. The visuals - in a dim basement echoing a bunker, the war imagery.
Now that you've reacted to their serious patriotic song, I think you should cover an upbeat patriotic song, it's actually a song Tim wrote several years ago. Some people have said it should be our National Anthem, please react to Land Of The Free. Love your reactions!!!!
This song was inspired by the Falklands War, which was going on when Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler wrote the song. The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and the UK over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claimed rights to. The islands are British territories, but in 1982 Argentina tried to reclaim one of the islands. Britain reclaimed their territories, but lost 258 soldiers in the conflict. In this song, Mark Knopfler sings about a soldier who is dying on the battlefield, surrounded by his comrades, who remain by his side as he slips away.
Your reaction was so beautiful it made me cry.. I think you would enjoy ,I can't outrun you from Home Free.. Adam Chance takes the lead on that song literally brought me to tears..
LOVED your reaction to this hauntingly beautiful song & your comments about Home Free.😊 Their never "overdoing" their performances is one of the many things that makes them different from the other a cappella groups. They don't try to outdo each other! Another special thing about them is that even when they're all singing together, you can hear each of their voices separately! They're just so talented but humble & kind!😊
I was shocked also when I first heard this version, but was glad that Tim did the bulk of the lead. I also liked hearing Adam Chance show off his talents in this song. Your right about the blend, they kept it simple, but powerful. Love your reactions and point of view.
Ethereal. Haunting. Gut wrenching. Soul stirring. Angelic. The only thing missing was the seraphic choir backing them up. Excuse me while I track down my soul and stuff it back into my body...
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this. I don't know what's more beautiful here, their incredible harmonies or the message about making peace, not war. They did an outstanding job on both. Sending love from Texas, USA. ❤
Bless you Craig! Watching you react to this was the same as the first time I heard it. I'm happy you got to hear it, but knowing you have served your country too, it is especially poignant! Thank you for this, it was worth the wait!
Such a genius touch to show the silhouette of the fellas in front of the window. I know some see it as a "ghost"y reference but it strikes me as a reflection of the POW/MIA flag. We'll never know just how many of those met the same fate as the soldier of this song. 😥
I agree Taylor. It’s so powerful and hauntingly beautiful. Tim really hits the bass on this one. Dire Straits is guitar driven and this is voice driven. Both are beautiful. I loved Tim’s low notes. Loved the echoes. Tim and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. So well done. One of my favorites of theirs. Good reaction! Try I Can’t Outrun You, Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band to hear more incredible harmonies. 😍🥰
Wow, I don't think I've heard such a deep voice since The Oakridge Boys or The Statler Brothers. My heart was breaking, Craig, as I watched you struggle through this. Did you lose any of your buddies in Afghanistan?
What gets to me other than Tim is the ghostly images and my minds eye seeing the palm of the Soldier staying with this dying man gently come down to close his eyes.
Craig, thank you again for sharing your raw, true emotions. Thank you for your past Service to your Country and Thank you for reacting to this. ❤ You cannot go wrong with any Home Free song. They are starting to do more of their own music too. Check out Dreamer (Official video), I think you would enjoy that. Review Dive Bar Saints, Remember This, Yours, One Man Band, I Can't Outrun You and even Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. The list goes on and on 🙂
So incredible isn't it? I love it when people react to this and get to know the serious side of Home Free and the message of togetherness they share. Thank you! If you haven't, listen to Austin's solo of Bring Him Home, another serious beautiful wonderful moving performance. When Tim first starts to sing in this one, it does really hit you and nearly knocks you backwards! Incredible harmonies, like organ chords. Take care.
Breaking just now - You have to positively absolutely have to listen to Home Free (A cappella), Lee Greenwood (wrote the song), and USAF Chorus sing "God Bless the USA." Home Free did a prior version by themselves but this one is on steroids. A must watch!
Written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits! Mark is a famous finger picking electric guitarist. Home Free’s version is beautiful and still respects the original. This is one of the things I love about this vocal band!! 🇺🇸
They did a great job, no doubt. I love the statement of theirs that you read before the reaction. It rings absolutely true. That being said although they are extremely talented I do still prefer the original Dire Straights version. The lead singer wrote the song and I believe was born in Scotland and raised in England, so I'm guessing that the verse "but my home is the lowlands and forever will be" Is from his perspective. It was written in 1982 during the Falklands War.
Mark Knopfler's guitar on the original is such an integral part of the Dire Straits version. Of course I have listened to that version hundreds of times and will probably still listen hundreds more. This is a great version, but Dire Straits just made a perfect mix.
![NLE Choppa - Or What ft. 41 (Orchestra Mix) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/biOFASEgSOM/mqdefault.jpg)
I know you served your nation and can feel every lyric. 'Tis no shame when yer tears be a-falling.
This song hits even harder with all the current unrest. It’s beautiful, poignant, and heartbreaking all at once.
I am a 76 year old American combat veteran who has always loved and been moved by Dire Straits original. But the first time I heard Home Free do this version I literally burst out in tears.
Thank you for serving in the US military! I’m the daughter of a WW II veteran and married to a US Marine who served in the hell hole of Vietnam. ♥️🇺🇸
Traveling Soldier will bring tears.
Their harmonies in this are so haunting and beautiful.
Having two incredible bass singers really gives this song a different feel than any other group could.
Yes Brenda. Yes

Make sure you listen to the message by Tim at the end too
And born in the USA....chance smashes that one!
This was an arrangement by Club For Five of Finland used with their permission as requested by Tim.
There was no beatboxing required so Adam was singing as well - 5 part harmony! Great reaction!
Tim's low bass, especially in the background, makes this incredibly haunting.
The photography of this is incredible! It simply is the perfect illustration of what this soldier is telling you, sending for you to see.
Home Free makes chills and tears roll with this one! So beautifully done, I usually hit replay 3-4 times when this is on my cd in the car
I want to compliment you on such a wonderful station. I can tell that you take music into your heart & actually love it. Your reactions to all of the music, whether it is gospel, patriotic, or even country seems like a real & honest reaction. THANK YOU for giving your time to uplift us with the best of music.

Straight to the heart ... perfect harmony of angelic voices !!
After that somber one, I'd love to see you react to Home Free's cover of MEET IN THE MIDDLE. It's cheerful and uplifting with a positive message.

Ethereal. Haunting. Gut wrenching. Soul stirring. Angelic. The only thing missing was the seraphic choir backing them up.
Excuse me while I track down my soul and stuff it back into my body...
The song, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", by The Hollies, from 1969, is just as meaningful today, as back then. You will enjoy it!
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this. I don't know what's more beautiful here, their incredible harmonies or the message about making peace, not war. They did an outstanding job on both. Sending love from Texas, USA. ❤
Bless you Craig! Watching you react to this was the same as the first time I heard it. I'm happy you got to hear it, but knowing you have served your country too, it is especially poignant! Thank you for this, it was worth the wait!

Thank you so much for this! It is so haunting and beautiful.. very poignant at this time. ❤️ to you and your family!
😢😢💕💕
JUST AWZOME AND THE BEST I HEARD FROM TIM,YOU CAN HEAR IN HIS VOICE THAT THIS SONG MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM, I THINK DIRE STRAITS WILL LIKE THIS 💞💞💞💞
Such a genius touch to show the silhouette of the fellas in front of the window. I know some see it as a "ghost"y reference but it strikes me as a reflection of the POW/MIA flag. We'll never know just how many of those met the same fate as the soldier of this song. 😥

Thank you for your service from a USAF 20 year Vet. Please try the actor Kevin Coster and Modern West song " The Angles come down".
These guys just keep amazing me with their singing!❤️❤️
Wow, I don't think I've heard such a deep voice since The Oakridge Boys or The Statler Brothers.

I enjoy your videos thank you.
They did a great job, no doubt. I love the statement of theirs that you read before the reaction. It rings absolutely true.
That being said although they are extremely talented I do still prefer the original Dire Straights version.
The lead singer wrote the song and I believe was born in Scotland and raised in England, so I'm guessing that the verse "but my home is the lowlands and forever will be" Is from his perspective.
It was written in 1982 during the Falklands War.
Mark Knopfler's guitar on the original is such an integral part of the Dire Straits version. Of course I have listened to that version hundreds of times and will probably still listen hundreds more. This is a great version, but Dire Straits just made a perfect mix.
