I’m a pacifist and don’t celebrate Christmas but I watched, liked, saved, and cried thru this entire song. Welcome home all. Twice.
This is art... This is beauty... This is enchanting... This is love... This is Home Free...
+qayyimsb thank you!
+Home Free you're welcome...
@@HomeFreeGuys: song request: Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton.
I'm 73 and I've never enjoyed listening to anyone as much as I do the home free singers.
I'm 73 also and totally agree with you.
@@daanmi148 Well I'm just a kid at 71 but you folks got it right in 1 try!!
They are very good.
I am not a veteran, but a first responder. There have been a few times that I could not be home for Christmas. Beautiful version of this song, with beautiful outstanding harmony!! Thank you Home Free!!
Same here as nurse who has worked double shifts almost every christmas eve & Christmas day.
Grown man, and soldier here and every time I see a soldier come home like that I tear up. It is truly a good feeling to see my brothers and sisters in arms coming home safely. Merry Christmas (or whatever you do for the season) to everyone out there.
From a young woman who has many vets and active duty influences in her life, thank you for your service and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your service sir and Merry Christmas too!
+K Hetrick I'm too late to say Merry Christmas. But thankyou for your service.
Thank you so much for your service!! Many blessings to you!!
K Hetrick me to I started to cry
I'm an old Nam vet (Is there any other kind?) and have lived too many Christmastimes away from home. Thought I was immune to the emotion by now but when I saw this this I just broke down and cried. Not for us lucky ones who made it but for the women, men and famioy members of our armed forces who will never have another Christman together.
Gentlemen of Home Free - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Another outstnding performance and video. You kept the focus on the soldiers and their families rather than home Free.
Thank you, Sir. Be Blessed.
My, my Chris you DO get around now. Soldier AND Sailor!! Amazing - thanks for keeping us safe during all of your tours. (What I meant was the only kind of Nam vet is OLD!)
God Bless you for your service.....ALWAYS GRATEFUL!!
My husband was an old Nam vet, too. I just lost him two weeks ago. God Bless you!
thank you shorty for your service and sacrifices. God bless you.
Any number of things you could have done with this song and you choose to honour the military with it. So simple yet so very effective.
And dusty. Makes the room very very dusty.
Well done.
+Lanky Nathan oh no, did the dust get in your eyes? :-P
Maybe a mite or two...
Don't worry, you aren't the only one. I swear I scoured the house just yesterday...
This song was originally written to honor our military who couldn't make it home for Christmas. This video is so awesome.
@@risabug7772 Yes.
I absolutely love it! 22 years a Sailor. Makes me "tear up". Somehow, I always got home between May, and August. Christmas was a distant memory for the kids. Tough.
This is the first version I have heard of this in years that stays true to the meaning of the song. It wasn't sped up, it wasn't overdone.
This song is about a WWII soldier in the trenches writing home and this video about soldiers coming home..... A+
I love this! Great job
So many people do not know the real meaning of this song. kudos to you for reminding all of us.
John Dunn that's really why this song was written???? Wow made it so much better!
Rascall Flatts did the same version years ago.
Perfect
I cried all the way through this song. Homefree always pulls at my heartstrings. I have been separated from my 2 children and 7 grandchildren for over 10 yrs. It breaks my heart! I pray to God that all hurts can be put behind us and we can be reunited once again!
As a veteran myself, I love these pictures of homecomings. To have your arrangement of this song supporting it just made me tear up even more. You guys are AWESOME! I thoroughly enjoyed your concert in Nashville last night as well!
my husband used to be in the army, these types of videos always hit home.
These videos of military homecomings, especially the Christmas ones, just rip my guts out. This one may be the topper. I grew up an Army brat, but none of Daddy's deployments (as they are now known) resulted in this. However, having been a child whose Daddy was sometimes away at Christmas...and wanting him to be home...these get to me more than I can express.
as a veteran I just want to thank you guys for supporting our troops in such a beautiful way
As a family member of military men and women, thank you...
Currently sat in my lounge in floods of tears, mixture of happy and sad..😭 This is probably the best version of this song i've ever heard and comes on a day when I'm missing those folks back in the States a lot (I love my life here in the UK but lately as I plan my wedding I am beginning to miss those who I've lost along the way and my family/friends who aren't going to be able to attend due to the logistics of it all, more and more each day)
someone please pass the tissues...❤️
I still remember my father returning and surprising us. This hits home so much!! Beautiful rendition! LOVE!!!
+Tonjia L Oh yay! Glad ya like the video
I spent 22 year and there was times I had to sing this song! Beautiful! US Army Disabled Retired! Tex
2:36 I dont know if that was.... possible.... I swear, you guys invented Tight Harmony, and are just showing off now! Flawless. Truly. Perfect arrangement.
Forwarded this one to troops still serving far away from home and they told me to tell you that 1) It's beautiful, 2) It made them very happy and 3) when they get back from tour of duty they will definitely come see you in concert. Thank you very much for all of them. And I think I'm going to have to buy shares of stocks in Kleenix now, but that's fine.
As a military wife, I just sobbed all the way through this, I am so proud of all who serve their countries, we should all be proud and thankful they do this to take care of us all. Lovely tribute Home Free love ya all x
Mr.Lundquist truly does have the voice of an angel.
As a veteran, I have to say a heart felt thank you. This arrangement and video is fantastic. You guys keep getting better and better. You made this tough old man cry.
Thanks guys, I’ve spent so many Christmas s away from home being deployed, I’ve always tried to connect myself to my family being so far away, I’ve made a few Charlie Brown Christmas trees in my day and mounted them on my Hummer. Thanks again.
This brought tears to my eyes. You nailed this song. Love you guys.
+avalongirly thanks :-)
I'm a Proud Army mom ... loved this so much.. Bawling as I watch ...
You guys are so freaking awesome! I'm not a crier but seeing our military coming home gets me every time. It will never get old. I'm sitting here tears flowing! Loved the video!
Love everything about this. Love to all the men and women who can't be home for Christmas! Thanks Home Free for including them in this video 🎅🏻
Glad ya like it!
Home Free
Beautiful!! Bless the U.S. military!! Thanks so much for making patriotic songs!! U.S.A.!!!!!!
, I had moved from Michigan to Salt Lake with In friends. I worked in a K-Mart and this song played once every half hour over the store PA system from November 1t 'til Christmas. There was no way I could get home and I grew to hate this song. Thank you for making me enjoy hearing it once again.
"I'll be home for Christmas is my favourite song. (only in my dreams). I have lost both my mother (at age 20) and my father 4 years ago. It brings them closer to me. Thank you for the singing this song. Loving it, but crying, too.
JoAnna Evola mine to. It was my Mom's favorite Christmas song. She would have absolutely loved Home Free.
I need these guys for my mums birthday. She loves these guys so much
this makes me cry because that is what happened to one of my friends dad who came back from the war to see his family again.
Yup. Watched it again and made myself cry. Darnit!
To be clear - Tim Foust's bass is what draws me to this band. He adds great 'depth to the powerful dynamic range of this group! '
I love this! My dad and son are vets. I remember when they came home. I was so full of pride. When my son was in Iraq I learned how to live but not breathe for over a year. I am so proud and grateful to all of our soldiers. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU
this is my all time favorite christmas song. my daughter sang in high school and was a member of several honor choirs. her senior year, she was invited to sing at an honors program and chose this song but wouldn't tell me. as i recorded it, you can hear me sobbing. she's and my Marine son have not been back home yet for a Christmas, but i still cry when i hear this song.
i"m such in awe of this song.......again thanks for sharing it with all of us.......hope it brings many men back home for their families at Christmas.....but too many lost for stupid war!!!
I was touched by the harmony. Then I started watching the video, and now I am a basket case. That wasn't fair. Somebody stop cutting onions.
I was always so moved by the video that I didn't fully recognize the exceptional job HF did vocally. Could hear each one clearly, including Adam singing, and the harmony gave chills as usual!
The joy you all made us feel watching this video is just amazing. The soldiers' return home made me cry; but they were happy tears with your amazing voices behind it. Happy Holidays to all of you and your families!!
As a lifelong military "brat" and spouse, this made me cry. Thank you for such an amazing rendition and the salute to our heroes. Keep up the fantastic work.
So beautiful and melancholy. With my boys 2,000 miles away this one hits hard, let alone the surprise vets coming home. Well done, and next time pass out the tissues ahead of time.
That was beautiful. My daughter is active duty and was deployed one Christmas and four months after she came back she got orders overseas and was gone the next Christmas.
She has not been able to be home for Christmas after coming back because she is stationed in another state but at least she is back in the U.S.
I love this one best of all. It always reminds me of the deceased brother. When he was in the air force - he always told my Mom this. Your blend of voices is beyond incredible. Keep it up - you five are remarkable as a group.
Best version of this song i've heard! Great Job Guys!
My mother loved this Christmas song. I miss you Momma.
Thank you my beautiful souls!!!
When my son was enlisted in the Air Force, he was away for Chritmas and this song would play over the radio when my soul needed it. He is home, safe, now and now Home Free's song brought it back and I am feeling happy. My family is all home for CHristmas this year. My parents are 88, and all of my siblings wwill be together for Thanksgiving!
Beautiful! This song, and the picture in my mind of my mom and dad having breakfast in a little café in Texas in 1944, right after his Christmas leave was denied... holding hands, tears running down their cheeks, with Bing Crosby singing this in the background.
I sat here crying through the whole thing! this is such a heartfelt and moving rendition of I'll Be Home For Christmas. So like you guys to dedicate this to our military who give so much for us. And if Rob's voice during this song doesn't give u the chills or choke you up, then u better check your pulse.
I'd love to be "Home" for Christmas. I'm originally from Minnesota and have been living in Florida for 30 years now and miss my family so much this time of year. Hearing y'all sing and see the places you sing bring such bittersweet memories. Keep it up, you are fantastic.
I truly hope you do get to go home for Christmas because one day they might not be there I know I am there and it is sad...... Hope you do get home and have a great wonderful Christmas with your family.......
Home Fries, Merry Christmas!!!
Wonderful video! As an Army Mom, I had a surprise like the ones in the video. My Soldier Son surprised me coming home for Christmas from Iraq. Tears are flowing... Thank you for the wonderful reminder, and the most beautiful music!
is it wrong that I'm watching this in the middle of the summer
we don't think so!
Every time I see these military home comings, it makes me tear up. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and kinda makes me feel a bit home sick. I loved this, though! Merry Christmas, Home Free!
+Carrie Karich Thank you, Carrie!
+Carrie Karich I'm right there with you. Supposed to be this tough guy but I tear up watching military home comings. GOD BLESS ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR ARMED SERVICES. MAY GOD KEEP YOU SAFE AND BRING YOU HOME WHERE YOU BELONG! Merry Christmas everyone!
Okay, the soldiers returning home was bad enough. The dogs though....I'm a blubbering mess! Can't wait to see you in Elkhart next week!
Didn't realize I posted a similar comment 10 months prior. :)
Finally got the 1 million views it deserved!!!
i did my part! lol- gladly
Fantastic version !!! Just right !!! Standing ovation is due here !!!
You gentlemen have such an amazing gifting! Brought tears to this grandma's eyes! Thank you for the warmth you brought to my heart!
Thank ya kindly
just pinkt a tear away because I lost my grandma last may and it hurts my heart that she wont be with is us this Christmas ty for this awsome song I wish you a verry merry Christmas to yall guys ;-)
This actually made me tear up... my grandma and I used to listen to this every year. I would wait for her and she was always waiting for my late grandfather... he was a WW 2 vet. No more waiting for her now... thanks for the amazing cover you guys, you definitely did it justice.
Amazing Talent ,....there is none Better....God Bless them....
This song was originally written for our soldiers overseas. This video is perfect.
GOD bless America!! Thank you all for serving!
every time I listen to this video I get absolute shivers -- very beautiful and a fitting tribute to the military
Thanks from a Navy Vet !!!!
This song has always made me cry but hearing you sing it I cry even harder. I have no home to go to for Christmas lost my parents 19 days apart in 2016 and haven't celebrated it since. My sister left me 15 years ago on her birthday. I'm having some really intense neck and back surgeries in January and I just turned 60, the only thing on my bucket list is to see a live Christmas show, but I'm in Minot North dakota
Love & Merry Christmas to all.
Thank you!! No words can say how touching this is!! I'm part of a military family and this means a lot!! It's very touching.
My entire family is military and this just brought back emotional memories of that last year we got to see my brother before he past. He was military and came home and surprised all of us for Christmas. Thank you for the great flash back memories and the amazing vocals on the song. You all are truly gifted.
And we thank your family for their service!
god pleas you Luke Dyer and your family god pleas
Do you hear what I hear? No? That's the sound of my heart being put through a wood chipper.
You so need to do a Christmas show on TV. This would be cool.
Love this! Here's to all our men and women in uniform that won't be home this Christmas!
Not in your age group, but as you know, I love love music of my youth and can't wait for what this channel will have coming.
All I can say is WOW and had me in tears. So heartfelt! I truly love you guys and all you do.
My husband first "discovered" you and now I'm hooked. You guys are great. Doesn't hurt that you are from my hometown. ♡
That song ALWAYS makes me cry. Inserting those soldier surprises ....
Hubby jumped up and across the room wondering if I'm OK.
That was lovely. And Adam got to sing again. :)
Merry Christmas, guys. Thanks for sharing your music.
+MaryEllen505 Aww thanks!
The lead in this one (I don't know all their names) really shined on this one. He did wonderful melodies and really never heard him better. Superb performance from everyone still
I know the videos came off the original artist's song, but you guys nailed it again.....such a beautiful song and rendition. congrats, boys......
Thanks for supporting us soldiers, to me and my battle buddies it means a whole lot :)
Wow, Home Free is one of the most amazing group out there . I just get out how they make the most amazing music . Not just how they blend so seemly . Especially for this song l gave me the chills . It was so beautifully done . Thank you Home Free for all the beautiful both videos and music that y'all do
*you all
@@FarmersAreDummies oh sorry for missing spell
This is beautiful. I'm crying while watching this with my cousin who just got released from duty. Thank you to all the men and women who served and are serving. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Thank you Home Free for everything that you do. Love you all! 💞
+Gail Rowand thank you, gail!
I can't imagine anyone criticizing this song. I thought the song and video were absolutely amazing!
Omg...I almost cried! This is SO sweet!
God Bless you all and family. ❤️ GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏
What a beautiful rendition of "I'll Be Home For Christmas"! Your harmonies are perfect, as always. The emotion is evident. What a wonderful tribute to those who serve our country. They are in my Prayers always. Thank you for this great video.
oke. i cryed. your harmony is just perfect!
Aw shucks, thanks!
You guys are out of this world...👑
this brought me to tears
Makes me miss my kids. I have not seen them all in so many years. I wish I was home with them, and the grand kids. Guess as the song says, Only in my dreams.
Love it love it love it, brought tears to my eyes, my husband is active duty navy and homecomings are the best thank you for all your songs!!!
So, now I'm sitting here bawling. Just thinking of all of those young men and women who can't be home with their families makes one think of how fortunate we are to be able to share Christmas with our family. What a wonderful touching and inspiring video, guys. You just keep getting better and better. I can't wait to see you with Kenny Rogers on Monday night on "The Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show." The five of you are what's right with America. God Bless and Merry Christmas. Stay safe.
+Susie L. Thank you, Susie!
I'm going through a time where my family can't have my uncle and godfather at home for Christmas. He has been stationed overseas for over five years and we haven't had him home for that either. This video really hits home, thank you! Merry Christmas to all of you!
Sitting at work listening to Christmas music... crying!!!
Awww
that first part may be one of the most beautiful openings I've heard in music
charles simpson Rob's beautiful tenor voice reminds me of Vince Gil's.
If you ever need a bus driver, let me know. It would be a blast. Drove for the Air Force while in Germany back in late 80s early 90s. Drove trucks and buses for last 20 years. Now drive various vehicles at the Milwaukee Veterans Affairs Hospital (VA).
Amasing voices from an fan from sweden
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
Wow...
It's hard to express how good this makes me feel and how bad.
Good by them getting to see their loved ones
Bad by the fact that not everyone does
Wow...😭
