The couple that they chose to act in this are actually service members. 👍🏻 I love the song, but it's definitely a heartbreaker! Rob's voice was stunning in this ❤
How a four minute video could get me more deeply invested in a couple than many movies/tv series only to break my heart each and every single time I hear this song. I still get as teary on the 10+ viewing as it did the first time. 😢🥰
No matter how many times I hear the song, I still get tears. No apologies needed. From a military momma, I understand and you both having military moms makes it even more touching.
Thanks guys! We love the way you guys are real! Some I listen to for vocal work and some I listen to for a real reaction! You are real and if a song and a message like this don’t hit hard we better check pulses! Many of us know and some have had the knock at the door! I took from this beautiful rendition of this song, if she hadn’t met him before she left, she would’ve had no one to look forward to hear from! Sad but he was a God send to her! And Adam Rupp! Rob! And Austin! Great guys! Low bass Kenneth 😢
Thank you for this sweet comment, LBK!! Just keeping it real here on this channel. Also, we haven't heard the original, but adored this song despite the water works. So beautiful ❤️🥷🏻
Rob’s voice is so soulful. All 5 have such beautiful voices and each has a distinct range and together they are unmatched. As I’ve HOME FREE doesn’t do covers they do upgrades
This is one of Home Free’s best in my opinion. The harmonies are stunning and Rob was just beautiful. This doesn’t get enough eyeballs on it! Christmas time you HAVE TO react to Rob taking lead in Joy To The World from 2013. It will blow you away!!! Thank you J&J for your heartfelt reaction. ❤ My parents met in the military and I cannot listen to this song without the tears flowing….
Good song. Yes, I loved that they used a woman as the soldier too and please thank your moms for their service. Both of the actors are/were soldiers which is really cool. Boys sound so good in harmony. Adam was great. Good one J & J!!!
This song is very sad and the harmonies, video. Adam's beatboxing was great. Austin and Rob and Chance Tim did a beautiful job on this song. The harmonies are beautiful . ❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
Having Rob take the lead in the saddest part of the song is genius. His vocals are so tender and angelic. It adds to the emotion of the song. The whole arrangement is wonderful.
I am a 73 year old man and I tear up too, even though I have listened to it before. "Go Rest High On That Mountain" is another real tear jerker as well. If you have reacted to that one you probably cried too.
Hey Tim! We are with you friend, hard not to cry on this one. Thank you for letting us know we aren't alone!! Jeremy covered "Go Rest High..." early on, here's a link (and spoiler, he cries too): ua-cam.com/video/1bWjG1jWuzE/v-deo.html
@@musikbyjh I went back and watched the reaction to "Go Rest High On That Mountain". I had watched that reaction too and commented on it. It being over a year ago I had forgotten I had watched Jeremy's reaction. Both meaningful and important messages to remember.
Hey, I'm 73, and an Army brat. I was lucky my career dad marched/fought through India, Burma and China, then in Korea, and came home. After 9/11 this type of song gets to me also.
The original is by the (Dixie) Chicks; however, Home Free have switched the sexes of the soldier & wait person. As always, the singing, harmonies & Adam's amazing beatboxing are incomparable. Rob could make you cry by singing Happy Birthday! I've seen veterans cry watching this and "Brothers in Arms". Thanks for playing this & your insights.
If you google the original lyrics you'll notice that they switch them around a bit to make them about a female soldier and match the video, like "Gave her order to a guy in a thin black tie" instead of "Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair". It's good that they don't follow stereotypes. This is such a beautiful (but sad) song and they matched it with their vocals perfectly. They are also really good to highlight the lyrics and story of a song, and without letting the music suffer from it, which is not an easy thing to do. Oftentimes, with others, it's difficult to realize what the song is about because the actual music overshadows it (at least for me). Thanks for the reaction.
Oh, and what's probably even more impressive with the drums is that Adam pretty much does all the arrangements for the percussion parts in their songs. He manages to pull so much emotion out with his percussion. He's just a master.
Jillian, you're beautiful no matter what. I was crying right along with you. I watched the premiere of this one and I was a mess. Tim was doing a live chat during. Shout out to Holly! Thanks for your service and your son, Jeremy.❤
The people in the video are actually in the military or veterans. This is such a hauntingly beautiful song for sure. Rob does sound really good. Don't worry about crying Jillian I ugly cry too. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.
Rob's soulful voice always gets me in the "feels". They did such a beautiful job in both audio and video. What your ears don't hear, your eyes see. What your ears don't hear and your eyes don't see; your heart feels. ❤❤
I’ve seen this countless times and am still fighting back tears! I’ve heard that both the female and male actors served in the military which makes it all the more special to me…and that my son is currently serving with all that is going on in the world. Please be praying for all of our military and their families.
I was snowblowing with my HF playlist & my headphones. This song came on and although I’d heard it many times before by both The Chicks & HF, I started sobbing. Neighbors must have thought I was insane. Rob’s voice sounded so angelic. 💜💜💜
Hey guys, this version always makes me cry. Don't let it bother you about crying during emotional songs. It shows us that you understand what this song is about.
I immediately ugly cry when I hear this one start up. My dog noticed and brought me a toy to cheer me up. Youve probably already been told, but the guy and girl are both military.
@@musikbyjh yeah well, I cry everytime I see that video, so I'm not surprised you did too😭. BTS video's are always great, you get to learn a bit more about the guys and about what it takes to make those awesome video's. There's also one of Traveling Soldier
I'm so glad you got a box of tissues for the studio. Time for a new box! I ALWAYS cry when I hear this song, this version or the Chicks version. Rob's voice, and that drum roll, just choke me up.... We are here to share the emotions of the music with you. Love you both! ❤🎶
Never apologize for being moved by music. And it IS a very pretty sounding piece. Their harmonies just add to the beauty, which makes that gut punch even harder. But I think that is part of the import of that song - the difference between the beauty of the music and the horrors of the story. They posted a video of this song that they filmed live a few years ago just the other day.
I have cried every time I have heard this song. I was going to join the Canadian Army but that dream was taken from me due to a severe head injury at the hands of an ex boyfriend. I always wanted to follow in my grandpas footsteps.
Oh my gosh, Lynn...we are devastated to hear this ("sorry" doesn't do your situation justice). We sincerely hope that despite your Army dreams not happening, you've led a happy and joyful life. BIG hugs, friend.
If you want another Rob song try Catch me if you can. He is a full lead on this song. The guys was all gonna sing it to see who would be the lead, Rob went first and the other guys wouldn't touch it saying it was Robs song
I cry every time I hear it.aldo I went to my first Home Free concert Wednesday September 18 and it was AMAZING everything I hoped for and more these gentlemen never disappoint and Bastien Killed it and multiple Timblivions and Adam Rupp was tearing up the best boxing Chance and Rob sounded beautiful a great show
Sometimes you never know what you'll get when Home Free sings a song, which could be a party or really emotional. They portray the emotions in the song so well that you can really feel it.
Jeremy and Jillian, thank you for doing this one. It is one I recommended a couple of weeks ago to you. I am another 74 year old softie. I have Jillian-like tears every time I listen and watch this and I am not ashamed. I have read that the actors in this video are actual military personnel. The way Home Free does this by reversing roles is genius. Somehow it makes the storyline even more tragic, though any two person love role is so extremely tragic no mater what. Thank you for doing this. I know Home Free is advertised as country. Yes, many of their covers that are not country have a country flavor to them, but many of the true country songs they do seem to incorporate other genres. You guys are always great!!!!
I am just now catching up on your channel. And have a few song suggestions if your interested. I know you have already reacted to Homefree's version of "God Bless the USA", but you really need to rereact to the version with Lee Greenwood and the airforce band. As for gangsta country try Billy Strings "turmoil and tinfoil". I am truly interested in your channel and am going to subscribe because you bring a different element of knowledge to my musical learning. While you both all the best in the future of the channel
@KevinJohnson-m6h Same (we loved that they used Vets). And thank you, sincerely and truly, for your service to our Nation, Kevin. So much respect - we appreciate you!
I always thought a piccolo was a wind instrument, smaller than a flute but larger than a fife. *shrug. This HF cover was beautiful but "In the Blood" and the Dire Straits song are my favorite.
There's a type of snare called a piccolo, it's higher pitched compared to a regular snare. Sort of the way a piccolo is similar to a flute, but higher pitched. I used to play trumpet a lot (something I have in common with Rupp, lol), and trumpets also come in a piccolo version, again higher pitched than a regular trumpet.
RUUUTTHHH!!! Thank you, sweet friend. We need those hugs today. Phew!! Not-so-fun fact, the first country song that ever made me cry was Rascal Flatt's "What Hurts The Most". I still can't listen to that song without tearing up. AHHH!!! ❤️🥷🏻
My favorite song where Rob leads is, Catch Me If You Can. There is just something different about his voice in this one. I think this is an original song as well. I would love to hear what you guys think. Another one that is rarely reacted to.
This is not a Home Free song that gets a lot of reaction time, more's the pity. Rob's beautiful, haunting voice and Adam's military drums make me a total emotional train wreck every time I hear it. Seeing you both tear up made it even more emotional. Thanks for a heartfelt reaction guys! Much love from the UK.
I was already crying FOR you when it started up. The Chicks (their new names) made everyone fall in love with the couple when they released it... Then let them feel the loss. If you DON'T cry in this song, you have no heart. What Home Free did was update it and with the video, took those feelings to another level. Virtual hugs for you both. I've seen this at least 100 times and still bawl like a baby when the snare kicks in.
Thank you for this sweet comment, @WilliamRoop-xt6rp !! You are so right, that snare is an immediate trigger...although it's still so raw for me, I cry just thinking about it (like now, argh!!). Hugs back!! ❤️🥷🏻
This song hits hard, I could write more than most have been told. My hubby still has issues with the Sarin gas attacks during Desert Storm/Shield. No worries, the VA denies (and Gov't) that WMD's ever happened. The Brit's have acknowledged it with their soldiers and helped with their version of Va, I wish ours would.
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it, but it is, like you said, a beautiful song and the guys did a fantastic job with it. Just a little info, the 2 actors were actually military, I think the guy had gotten out of the service and the girl was still active duty.
No matter how many times I hear this song...the fellas hit this 1 out of the park ....so Patriotic and so emotional in 1 song...God Bless Everyone Keep On Keepin On
I would have been disappointed if y'all hadn't cried, as this is such an emotional song. I won't play this song for my SIL, an Iraq vet, in fear of triggering bad memories. I'm thankful that HF switched the genders to honor our women who were/ are in the military.
I cried right with you, Jillian!! Every time I hear this song, I get choked up. Great reaction, as always. I'll definitely shoot an email with some pics and a recap of how the new lineup sounds live! ~Leandra
Thank you again for this, Leandra. Although devastating, such a gorgeous arrangement and we really did love the song (the story was rough, but you warned us!!). We can't wait to hear how the show is tomorrow!!!! If you don't mind, please send to my email (sikbusinessmanager@gmail.com), as comments get easily lost and I don't want to miss this!! Have a blast and be safe, friend!!
If you ever react to HF's "One Voice" or "Don't laugh at me", make sure you have two full boxes of tissues available. Both are stunning pieces of art, both with the original artist, but heck, they wring the last drop of saltwater out of me.
Hey @ashayrems ! We sure did, and can see why you love it (Rob was AWESOME!!). Here's the link when you have time: ua-cam.com/video/ue04U2DG5Xo/v-deo.html ❤️🥷🏻
Here, once again... Delivery and what HF does!!!!! I do know this song from "back when" (before); it never drew me in like HF did/does!!! And HF has this ability, somehow -- to change perception, feel, meaning ...... drawing ya right in!!! And I'm so sorry, wasn't aware I couldn't HIT THE Like BUTTON till I shed a tear ---- WELL, I did both............. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?! A TEAR
@@musikbyjh hello! Yes!! I keep trying to get a Thankyou out but life keeps conspiring. My kids get a great giggle over their silly mother and her Boy Crush. The poster will not help! 🤭 I get to see the boys next Month in No California. I can’t wait! Take care!
@cowboy1165 You are right, my friend. Jer did that one solo. But I can assure you, when I reviewed uploaded the video way back then, no doubt I was a crying mess. 😢
As to weather or not the dixie chiks are still the dixie chiks.. No, apparently "dixie" is ray-sist so they had to change their name to just "the chicks" back in 2020.
I think it probably also had a little something to do with Southerners shunning them because the Chicks were critical of G W Bush and the Iraq war. And cancel culture was born....
There's not enough math in the world to stop you crying once Home Free and especially Rob get hold of a song like this. Great reaction 🧡
100% true...I don't know why I even try. ❤️🥷🏻
If you ain't crying, you ain't breathing.
The couple that they chose to act in this are actually service members. 👍🏻 I love the song, but it's definitely a heartbreaker! Rob's voice was stunning in this ❤
Absolutely stunning...great description, Leslie. Happy Home FrYday!!!
Don't ever be sorry for showing your emotions, it's a real message, this is what people face daily. I cried along with you. They did am awesome job.
Thank you for this, you sweet thing. ❤️🥷🏻
In the original the man went off to war. Home Free switched it up.
Hey Russell!! We love the variation and diversity Home Free brings. These guys are just phenomenal all around.
Their cover of Go Rest High On That Mountain can jerk a tear also 😢
Hey Scott! Yep, we agree. :( ua-cam.com/video/1bWjG1jWuzE/v-deo.html
This one is reacted to a lot around Veteran's Day. It is one of their most beautiful songs, Rob sounds so amazing!
How a four minute video could get me more deeply invested in a couple than many movies/tv series only to break my heart each and every single time I hear this song. I still get as teary on the 10+ viewing as it did the first time. 😢🥰

I know your wife hates the subscrib button but it's important to help you grow. I appreciate how you do it
I tear up every time Adam goes into that military cadence. Just kills me.
I think that's where we started to get choked up too!!! Same, it's like you know what is coming as soon as you hear those drums.
Oh, and what's probably even more impressive with the drums is that Adam pretty much does all the arrangements for the percussion parts in their songs. He manages to pull so much emotion out with his percussion. He's just a master.

Tears aren't bad, Tears, laughter, and amazement are all very real feelings
The people in the video are actually in the military or veterans. This is such a hauntingly beautiful song for sure. Rob does sound really good. Don't worry about crying Jillian I ugly cry too. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.

Thank you to your mothers for their service! Now, as the tears flow from this song, it gets me every time!!
BIG HUGS, Dianne!!!
The original artist was Bruce Robinson, a country singer/songwriter. Tears me up EVERY TIME I hear this version. 😭
I remember that you cried to them singing GOD BLESS THE USA with Lee Greenwood and The USAF Band much love and respect from Denmark
I immediately ugly cry when I hear this one start up. My dog noticed and brought me a toy to cheer me up.
Youve probably already been told, but the guy and girl are both military.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! Awww, dogs are the BEST way to cheer up!!! xoxox
Definitely a tear jerker. Thanks for the shoutout. Love, Mom❤
I was in Home Free's Vault, so I'm a bit late. It was the BTS of Helplessly Hoping
Hopefully it was AWESOME!!!!! Honestly, better that you were there...we (I) had a total meltdown. But WOW, what a beautiful song.
@@musikbyjh yeah well, I cry everytime I see that video, so I'm not surprised you did too😭.
BTS video's are always great, you get to learn a bit more about the guys and about what it takes to make those awesome video's. There's also one of Traveling Soldier
Makes me cry every time.

Love this message. ❤️🥷🏻
Spent a VIP visit with the group Friday night in Hagerstown. Great group of guys and music to die for.
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it, no shame if you cry over this song
I was told this beautiful couple were real soldiers

That was tough. But it was so gorgeous the way they did it. Dang! Thanks for being real.
Told you you would need the tissues. It's a beautiful song and an amazing story.
I'm a Vet and what I liked is Home Free used Vets for the actors in the song.

Another one that is rarely reacted to.
We loved that one too, Lorrie!! Here's the link when you have time: ua-cam.com/video/ue04U2DG5Xo/v-deo.html
This is not a Home Free song that gets a lot of reaction time, more's the pity. Rob's beautiful, haunting voice and Adam's military drums make me a total emotional train wreck every time I hear it. Seeing you both tear up made it even more emotional. Thanks for a heartfelt reaction guys! Much love from the UK.
An honest reaction. Beautiful sound.
Thank you. 🙂
As a USAF vet myself( age 17) this version breaks me; their so good, and I'm so proud they reversed roles from the og😭
I teared up at the same moment with you.
They perform this so beautifully.

No matter how many times I hear this song...the fellas hit this 1 out of the park ....so Patriotic and so emotional in 1 song...God Bless Everyone Keep On Keepin On
Thank you and God Bless, @fd009597!!
I would have been disappointed if y'all hadn't cried, as this is such an emotional song. I won't play this song for my SIL, an Iraq vet, in fear of triggering bad memories. I'm thankful that HF switched the genders to honor our women who were/ are in the military.
This is such a well-written song, and the video is very well done. Another great song by Home Free.
A beautiful song is Angel Flight about fallen soldiers coming home. It's by Radney Foster. I cried.
I cried right with you, Jillian!! Every time I hear this song, I get choked up. Great reaction, as always. I'll definitely shoot an email with some pics and a recap of how the new lineup sounds live!

Thank you again for this, Leandra. Although devastating, such a gorgeous arrangement and we really did love the song (the story was rough, but you warned us!!). We can't wait to hear how the show is tomorrow!!!! If you don't mind, please send to my email (sikbusinessmanager@gmail.com), as comments get easily lost and I don't want to miss this!! Have a blast and be safe, friend!!
The piccolo is a high pitched flute.
But I love his snare.

This one was a tough one for them to do. Dixie Chick's loved their version updated.
If you ever react to HF's "One Voice" or "Don't laugh at me", make sure you have two full boxes of tissues available. Both are stunning pieces of art, both with the original artist, but heck, they wring the last drop of saltwater out of me.
What’s amazing about this video…Both, the gal & guy are actually military ♥️‼️
J and J Zoe thank you so much for reacting to this!! Probably my favorite +
Awww Vicki, THANK YOU!!! Although I'm sorry it had to be one where I melted down!! hugs! ❤️🥷🏻
@@musikbyjh don't u worry about a thing!! I break down every time I hear HF sing this. That's what great artists do, make you feel .
Rob and Austin "Nesume Dorma"
That was a great one!
I love y'all
Much love, David!! Thank you friend!! ❤️🥷🏻
Don’t know if you’ve listened to Catch Me if You Can by HF, but it’s a favorite of mine for Rob 😁
Hey @ashayrems ! We sure did, and can see why you love it (Rob was AWESOME!!). Here's the link when you have time: ua-cam.com/video/ue04U2DG5Xo/v-deo.html ❤️🥷🏻
Here, once again... Delivery and what HF does!!!!! I do know this song from "back when" (before); it never drew me in like HF did/does!!! And HF has this ability, somehow -- to change perception, feel, meaning ...... drawing ya right in!!! And I'm so sorry, wasn't aware I couldn't HIT THE Like BUTTON till I shed a tear ---- WELL, I did both............. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?! A TEAR
Dang it. I guess I’m a die hard fan. I watched this even knowing what was coming. It is a beautiful song, but so painful. You guys did it justice. 💕
@chilcootchicks4968 : Such a compliment, thank you!!! Are you loving your new poster and lanyard?!?! ❤️🥷🏻
@@musikbyjh hello! Yes!! I keep trying to get a Thankyou out but life keeps conspiring. My kids get a great giggle over their silly mother and her Boy Crush. The poster will not help! 🤭 I get to see the boys next Month in No California. I can’t wait! Take care!
Me? Could you share the one tissue? Beautiful!!!
Didn't see you react to "Go Rest High On That Mountain," Ninja 😭
@cowboy1165 You are right, my friend. Jer did that one solo. But I can assure you, when I reviewed uploaded the video way back then, no doubt I was a crying mess. 😢
Thinking about math makes me 😢 it's just so 😭
LOL!!! We kind of feel you on that, Jeanne!!
Sad but so beautifully done and sadly it does happen way too often.
You HAVE to react to "Dream On" (Aerosmith) featuring Omar Cardona and VoicePlay!!!! This A Cappella version will blow your minds!!!!!!!!!
Hey Tim! Jeremy did a while back...is this the correct version, or is there a more current one? ua-cam.com/video/OcsAo4-QdIw/v-deo.html
@@musikbyjh That's the one, so cool!!!
As to weather or not the dixie chiks are still the dixie chiks.. No, apparently "dixie" is ray-sist so they had to change their name to just "the chicks" back in 2020.
I think it probably also had a little something to do with Southerners shunning them because the Chicks were critical of G W Bush and the Iraq war. And cancel culture was born....
