Home Free always pays appropriate respect in their covers--especially to the content! Their talent is amazing--and I LOVE their 5-part harmony❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ 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. 😥
You cut it off a tad early. It is originally a Dire Straits song about the Falklands war in the 80’s. Tim has a 5 octave range so he can go super low and then super high too. This was hauntingly beautiful. Love it and one of my favorites of theirs.
Yes, he did miss the strong finish. I'm sure we aren't the only ones (Home Fries) who noticed since many look for new reactions to this cover & have heard it many times.
This was written specifically about the Falkland war and applies to all military members. Also the arrangement was given to them from a Finnish group Club for Five.
I have always been a fan of this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural breathy bass was awesome along with Chance's smooth baritone & loved it when all the guys were doing 5 part harmonies. Who would believe humming could sound so good. They gave it a very solemn feeling. I love that they don't overproduce their songs. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there.
Adam Rupp is doing a "wind" noise, too, especially when the flags are flying. Notice the ghostly look to Tim & Chance at the windows? And yes, you cut it off too early to hear the all important ending. You'll have to listen to it again for yourself - all the way through. As a fellow Sergeant, although from a different era (85-92), I also appreciate their tributes. They put this out right around Veteran's Day in 2021, I believe. Take care, and thanks!
I've listened to this dozens of times, and it still gives me chills! As a combat vet, I appreciate the somber tone and seriousness with which Home Free addresses this.
I absolutely love this song and Home Free! I was so glad to see this song that honors our veterans both passed, retired, and active. Glad to see another reactor who appreciates the acapella style of music. Another group that puts out a lot of material regarding military history is a Swedish band called Sabaton. They are more of a hard rock/metal style, but all of their songs are researched from true historical events. You might want to check them out as well. Thanks for your service, Sarge.
Thank you for the kind words, especially since I accidentally cut the ending off (sigh), my mistake. Sabaton huh? I’ll take a look and again…Thank you for your support! 🫡
Thank you for your service. The song is hauntingly beautiful yet sends a powerful message. They sound like a pipe organ at the climax. Great reaction..
Great Reaction!! This hauntingly beautiful song is one of their masterpieces.Don’t worry about cutting off the end of the song a lot of reactors that are relatively new to Home Free do it with Home Free it’s better to let it play for a few seconds after the video they sometimes either delay the ending or have a special message at the end but sometimes it’s just concert and Pateron message
This is their masterpiece, at least to me. It was originally a Dire Straits song as a tribute to those fallen in the Falklands War in the 1980's. The hmmm, and ahhhhs and ohhhhs are all filling in for the guitar solos by Mark Knopler who originally wrote the song.
They also did "God Bless the USA ft Lee Greenwood and the Arm Singing Sergeants". There was another 2 notes after that along with video and "wind" effect....it gets a lot of reactors...
@@LynnRamsay I guess yes, the actual name of the video, technically it is The United States Air Force Band, Singing Sergeants.....will "Meet you in the middle" :)
Comes across to me as being very reverent with that type of key they are singing this in. The replica fog horn at the conclusion with the wind sounds preceeding that just add a realistic emotion to the conclusion that makes you think further after the ending. The detail they add just makes it incredibly sincere with their discernment to bring our hearts to the intended message. Enjoyed every aspect their performance brought to the forefront in their presentation. ❣ subscribed....
Shoot! You missed the church organ chords at the end. They often have a split second black screen which is followed by something amazing. This is so hauntingly beautiful.
I'm subbing for more Home Free, great reaction, & I'd suggest that you always let the video finish since sometimes there's some really great things happening at the end. I highly recommend listening to "God Bless the USA" because Home Free did a collaboration with Lee Greenwood & the Singing Sargents from the USAF, it's amazing. 🍟❤️
I always liked the Dire Straits version, but I only got really interested in this song through Home Free. Although I have to be honest I think the guitar playing is phenomenal Yes, this version of Home Free will send shivers through your entire body! This is so emotional. 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
You missed the ending chords of the song by cutting it off too soon. I enjoy your reactions and thank you for your service. My brother was Army. My Dad was WWII Navy, Uncle was WWII Marine, Grandpa was Texas Cavalry unit in WW I, my other Grandfather served in the British Army in WWI, so I have a lot of respect for veterans.
You cut off the end of the song. You need to make sure you let all Home Free songs play to the end, this isn't the only song where there is more, even after you think the song has ended. Very moving tribute by the guys.
So hard to remove Mark Knopfler's elegant guitar from my mind when listening to Home Free cover it. Marks playing is so distinctive. And as much as I like Tim I think I'd rather have had Chance taking lead on this one.
Stopped it short and missed the organ. Another voice you should NOT miss is that of Russian teen Diana (dee-AH-na) Ankudinova (an-ku-DEE-no-vah), the "Queen of Goosebumps". Her voice is totally unique and she has masterful stage presence living the music. The best intro to her is probably her "Wicked Game" cover. Just make sure you are seated first. ruclips.net/video/kt78je5hD0k/видео.html
Why would you cut it off early? I kept waiting for you to play the ending. It might make sense if it sounded like the end of the song, but it totally didn't.

@@lschoenrank No problem. It honestly was my mistake and I’m still a little new to reactions (was a gaming channel my first year of YT) but my real passion is music and I do a variety (not just one genre) and usually stream M-F at least one video but Tues-Thurs you usually get 2 or more. 🫡💚
Home Free beautifully captured the devastating agony and heartbreak of war. 😢

Glad you enjoyed it. I realized (after I loaded it) I left off a small segment at the end. My mistake 😁
Home Free always hits different and it is awesome. So much talent.
🙂
This is HomeFrees masterpiece for me. It still can bring a tear to my eye almost every time. 😢
I loved it. Kind of was just at a loss for words at the time of the video.

@@ronaldsinagra8825 Thank you for your support
These guys are always respectful for anything to do with the military.
Those haunting chords always make me think of a pipe organ.

They are well known for the clear, tight harmonies that they have.

Agree! On both responses.

Thank you for your service. The song is hauntingly beautiful yet sends a powerful message. They sound like a pipe organ at the climax. Great reaction..
Goosebumps and tears!
Beautiful tribute to fallen soldiers 😢
Good reaction; you showed respect by not over-commenting. We're fools to make war with our brothers in arms. Subbing for more Home Free.
One of Home Free's masterpieces. Thanks Sarge, loving your reactions! 🍟

Welcome aboard!
Subbed for more Home Free!
Thank you, more coming!
Enjoyed your reaction but you cut off the very end. Sad you missed that. I love Home Free and have since before Covid. Just another Home Fry.
You cut off the end of the song. You need to make sure you let all Home Free songs play to the end, this isn't the only song where there is more, even after you think the song has ended. Very moving tribute by the guys.
You need to check out their rendition of 'God Bless the USA' with Lee Greenwood and the US Air Force Vocal Band
Chopped off the end.
I’m aware I though it ended. My mistake.
Wait... THE LAST FEW SECONDS!! Oh well. Be sure to watch the original video, folks!
Yeah sorry. I honestly thought it was over. My mistake. I know better for next time.
So hard to remove Mark Knopfler's elegant guitar from my mind when listening to Home Free cover it. Marks playing is so distinctive. And as much as I like Tim I think I'd rather have had Chance taking lead on this one.
Great reaction but you cut off the ending 😫
Aaaggghh...... you stopped to soon
Dang it! I wondered if I should let it play. My mistake.
It wasn't finished. You missed the final clip where they cut to a cemetery and an American flag waving with Home Free's finishing chords.
Yeah I honestly thought was over. Sorry. Lesson learned.
I kept hoping you would finish the song.
Yeah I’m aware and sorry. I honestly thought it was over
human pipe organ!!!

Yeah I know. Sorry I really did think it was over 😢
Why would you cut it off early? I kept waiting for you to play the ending. It might make sense if it sounded like the end of the song, but it totally didn't.
I thought it was the end so I cut it…totally my mistake. Sorry for the inconvenience
What a shame you didn't let the song finish. You missed the ending.
You missed the ending.
You didn't hear the end !
Yeah I know. I did go back afterwards unfortunately.
You didn't watch to the end. Why?
I thought it was over and it was the Patreon Thanks they normally do. I always check now. My apologies.
