Home Free is the most respectful, honest group I have seen. They honor soldiers everywhere, both the living and the dead. We must all strive for peace and stop killing each other for useless reasons that do not really solve anything.
I just discovered your channel! I will never forget the sacrifice you made for our country and the families of soldiers! I've heard this song so many times and get weak in the knees every single time! God bless you sir for your service! Best heartfelt reaction to this song ever! Much respect from an old lady from the South young man!
Thank you for your service! Our family is very military. My grandpa served in WW1 (yes, I'm old), my dad served in the Korean war, my husband served a combined 29 years in USAF and Ks. Air National Guard, one son-in-law served in the army with a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan and our other son-in-law is currently serving in the Ks. Air National Guard. This song is breathtaking and you can tell they mean every word. Digging your channel!
Thank you for watching and your support! ❤️ 💪 Also much respect for your family and their service ! I appreciate you enjoying these reactions and taking this adventure with me.
Please tell them all THANKYOU! ON MY HUSBANDS SIDE AND MINE NO ONE RAN...DRAFT OR VOLUNTEER. WHEN POPS WAS DRAFTED... HE/THEY WERE PROMISED COINS TO SHOW RESPECT... I WORKED AT CAMP ATTERBERRY. THE GOVERNMENT FAILED. SUDDENLY WORKING AT THE PX THEY Where nothing but a trinkets. I gave my pops respect! Gave him something our government promised from Vietnam...never received. To this Day he carries in his pocket The coin his daughter was able to give him. BLESS ALL OF YOU.
1st I thank you for your service. This is their masterpiece. To be fair it's an arrangement from a Finnish band called Club for 5. But Tim tinkered with the arrangement and it came out stupendous. Tim & Chance were perfect leads !!!
The whole arrangement of this song is brilliant! I fealt everything they expressed. Took this song to a more to home meaning for me. I enjoy this personally ❤️
As the song starts I can see the lowlands of England or America spread out below me. Then the scenes from 60 years of War movies and the grief of women. The final realization. The photography is completely right as the ghosts sing souls to rest.
First of all, thank you so very much for your service. We would not be a free people without men and women like yourself. Home Free made us “feel” the pain and heartbreak of war with this one. It’s gut wrenchingly beautiful.
Thank you, that means alot to me! ❤️ 💪 I also thank Home Free and others for bringing out this message through their amazing music. It touches anyone who hears it straight to the heart!
Is it different?, yes! Is it disrespectful to the original?, I think not! Home Free used no instruments other then their voices, no guitar (great in the original), yet they took Marks masterpiece of poetry and put the meaning in your face. You hear every word, and the message isn’t lost in instrumental back-ups.
Such a hauntingly beautiful version of this song Here’s another Home Free recommendation I think you will like God Bless The USA ft Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band
They are taking us to Church, just with their voices they come in like some grand church organ and wring out emotions of joy, pain, and thankfulness. And suddenly your teary-eyed and proud of your willingness to serve, and the promise your country holds. USN SHSN.
Thank you for your service. This is a very sad song. That's what I love about these guys they are extremely patriotic. CK out Land of the Free.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you reacted to this one. I believe it is one of the two most beautiful songs they have done. The other is " How Great Thou Art". My son in law saw combat in Afghanistan in the Marines and has just now joined the Army. This song really brings the feels and showcases their talent.
Thank you for your service I was the last platoon of WAC Women's Army Cor. during Vietnam. I was a medic and Operating Room Nurse during that conflict. Take Care and God Bless you and our Vets.
Thank you for reacting to this song. It's one of my favorites by Home Free. It's such a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece, and only Home Free could do it justice!
Thank you and your family for serving the country I love. As for me, the previous generations never served. My heart was called by the Air Force, where I served active duty for 26 years, then wore the uniform for 7 more years while serving as a Junior Reserve Officer Corp cadets. My first child joined the U.S. Army serving one enlistment. My second followed me into the Air Force for one enlistment. Child #3 was Navy Sea Bee for one enlistment. Number 4 wanted to forge his own career but was injured and honorably left the Marines as he was concluding his second enlistment. No Coasties, but I tried to convince #5 to complete the Trileptal without success.
This is so amazing. I was not familiar with the Dire Straits version and when I did go to listen I thought I'd clicked on the wrong video because it is so different. I like the HF version better. The original of this arrangement by Club for Five is worth a listen. It's quite different from this one because it is mixed male and female voices with instrumentation, but very beautiful.
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. 😥
This song should come with a warning. 😢 Even though it is gorgeous. It’s a shock if you are used to one type of song from them. The arrangement is from another acapella group called Club for Five. Home Free used it with permission and the video made it even more special. They have a whole album of patriotic songs and “Land of the Free” for example, is more uplifting. Thanks for sharing your reaction. They also have several party songs and some downright silly songs. So if you need a pick me up, there are choices. “Hillbilly Bone”, “SnapBack” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling” are literally parties. “Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget” is one of the silly ones. And the “Sea Shanty Medley” is fun. I think you can call yourself a Home Fry. You’re familiar enough with the guys and their voices now, that “Mayday” could go on your to-do list. But be advised, it’s about an unhappy relationship. Wherever you go next with them, I’ll be back. 🏠🆓
Thank you so much, that means alot to me. I appreciate the recommendations as well. This is going to be a great journey. Thank you for taking this adventure with me. ❤️ 💪
Great reaction and I agree that Chance is Mr Smooth, just silky and smoky. I usually compare him to a great bourbon. This song in concert is absolutely stunning, a wall of perfection rolling out over you
Mark Knophler wrote a masterpiece, and Dire Straights did a great job performing this with some beautiful guitar work. Home Free sang the words, and delivered the message, in your face. Nothing muddied with instruments, just a fantastic song.
These guys bring a different emotion to you with each song. Their cover of Go Rest High on that Mountain is a sobering but immensely beautiful cover of a tribute to our fallen soldiers.
One of my favorites. Home Free killed it. Loved Tim’s lows. Tim and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. Loved the echoes. Good reaction and thank you for your service. 😍
@@bigfellazreactions its one of my faves from them. gives me chills each time. just like Disturved's "Sound of Silence" a cover from Simon and Garfunkel
Thank you for your service to your country and my gratitude to all servicemen & women. Home Free's rendition of this song is hauntingly beautiful The singing & harmonies are beyond description. Incidentally Tim, Austin and a consortium of singer/song writer/musician friends do fund raising for at-risk veterans.
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 Dire Straits 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
This is the first reaction of yours that I've seen. I first have to say Thank You! for your service. This is one of the most moving songs/renditions, I think I've ever heard. The song itself is touching enough, then when Home Free added their spin to it....I can't listen to it without tearing up - Every. Single. Time. I can't see a time that I ever am not obsessed with Home Free.
Even when they performeded very good, I still prefer Mark Knopfers slightly distorted voice and the Dire Straits deserve all honour for creating such master piece
Just a suggestions...maybe don't stop it every 20 seconds to replay it and let a lot more of it play on. You can always go back later and rehear the parts you want, but you only get one first impression and, at least for me, that's best taken in as an overview of the whole thing the first time. Besides, your comments are mostly so softly given that I, for one, can't make them out. Just a suggestions...you'll do what you want to do.
Home Free is the most respectful, honest group I have seen.
They honor soldiers everywhere, both the living and the dead.
We must all strive for peace and stop killing each other for useless reasons that do not really solve anything.
I like how they gave it such a solemn treatment.
Originally written as a sign of respect to the British forces who served and died on the Falkland islands by dire straits
It should be played every Memorial day and Veterans day

A masterpiece of vocal harmonic talent
When they hit you with that five-part harmony it's like a wall of sound.
I 💯 agree. It caught me off guard. Fealt a little like heaven, was so powerful yet soothing. Loved it ❤️
Or the words of JESUS.
They are well known for their harmonies.

Dire straights was wonderful too
Deeply moving. Their cover of In the Blood is also fantastic.
Thank you, I'm going to have to check that out. I'm looking forward to this journey! ❤️ 💪

Adam 'Nomonica' Rupp formed the original group with his brother Chris who has, since 2016, gone out on his own and been replaced by Adam Chance.

You should watch walking this land or stop like that.
In this one they’re a human pipe organ.
On top of the fantastic harmonies is the story they are telling.
This from a harmonizing fool
Absolutely
