"War is when the government tells you who the enemy is...Revolution is when you decide that for yourself"--Ben Franklin..
Love that quote!
You got it, this is so much more than a national anthem -- about so much more than just patriotism. It was written about the Falklands War between the UK and Argentina, and the lyrics tell the sentiments of a soldier dying on the battlefield. I count this as one of Home Free's masterpieces. Their voices, with Adam lending his lovely tenor, are even richer in 5-part harmony. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Great reaction! The second lead singer is Adam Chance Aka Chance ( Baritone/Bass ) This is one of their masterpieces.
Home Free just released 2 Chapters of their Stargazer Trilogy
Give Me A Sign ( Chapter 1)
Stargazer Lilies (Chapter 2)
They are original songs written by Austin. Give Me A Sign was before he met his girlfriend Amberly and Stargazer Lilies was written for he.They are absolutely beautiful songs
Thanks! It was powerful!
This was written by Mark Knopfler and performed by Dire Straits and it's a great rendition
Surprising how few realise this is actually a cover version.
It’s so good! One of my favorites and Home Free masterpieces. It was originally by Dire Straits about the Falklands War in the 80’s. That was guitar driven (and beautiful) and this is voice driven and just as beautiful. Tim and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. Loved the almost black and white video, loved the echoes. Tim is amazing! I subscribed for more Home Free.🥰
Who knew humming could be so engaging!! So hauntingly so in this case. All in all, amazing!!
As you have been finding out they are not just Country, they do sing quite a bit of it, but these boys are gifted beyond country and tackle whatever they choose and do it with excellance, they do not do anything half assed. (IE Two COUNTRY Singers try singing OPERA - "Nessun Dorma" Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist ua-cam.com/video/5dBENngNDhs/v-deo.html ).
Thank you for reacting to Home Free as I enjoy your efforts with your comments. ❣
❤❤❤❤
Great to get some Chance lead vocals. Check out his solo cover of Wayfaring Stranger which he recorded with the Fox and the Hound as well as Far From Any Road which he recorded with beatboxer Adam Rupp and Mercy Bell.
I always feel sad when it takes a while for reactors to finally hear Chance,I just love listening to him. So many are just about Austin and Tim. Each and every one of them have such fantastic voices, and I am so glad that Home Free lets everyone shine!
Your analysis is right oh. Here is what Home Free aid about this song: "When political and other divisions split us, we have to take a step back and remember that we always have more in common with each other than we have that is different. And we need to see all of our fellow human beings as the brothers and sisters we are, so we can live in a more harmonious society ❤"
This particular arrangement was slightly modified from a Finnish group Club For Five, with their blessing.
Great reaction. I think your analysis of what HF was presenting was spot on. This is the perfect video for Memorial Day, in my opinion, to honor those who have died for our country, although the way things seem to be going, I hope has not been in vain.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend filled with hope & remembrance
This is my second favorite Home Free cover just a hair's breadth behind Helplessly Hoping.
As a veteran, this video always hits me in the feels.
Not a veteran, and this song has brought me to tears every single time I hear it, whether it sung by Dire Straits or Home Free.
from one vet to another well done sir
Veteran here as well. I've lost friends in combat, as well as a few to suicide. This song always touches me.
I believe this was written regarding the Falklands war.
Yes, by Mark Knoffler !!!!!

You gotta do the original version from Dire Straits, with Mark Knopfler's soft emotional vocals with his equally emotional cascading guitar work, it'll rip your heart out.
Also look for "The Band Of The Royal Marines" version. Brilliantly sung by a woman who is wearing Afghanistan campaign medals, also the guitarist who plays brilliantly. Look for the emotion on her face when she sings, "they did not desert me my brothers in arms."
One of Dire Strait's best song. Good rendition.
Great reaction guys, such a beautiful song done with reverence. Try Helplessly Hoping, a masterpiece in harmony. Scottish Home fry here. 👍👍🏴
Harmony perfection ... these guys are very special !
Absolutely my fav from the boys!]! Masterpiece
One thing about homefree is when all them has pure , true talent they do not need all the pomp n circumstance . Less usually means more.
An interesting trivia point of background: Mark Knopfler, the author of the song, had a grandfather fighting on each side during WWII, one British and the other German. So the phrase "we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms" held a very special meaning to him. Great song, wonderful interpretation by Home Free, as usual.
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
Out of all the reactions and comments I have read, you're the only person who has caught the "church organ" sound. It reminds me of the pipe organs in churches my grandmother used to play in. Good ear!😊
@@michelebryant3148 thank you!!😊
This is considered by many to be their best....so far. They keep improving.
This was POWERFUL. 😢When Chance says you did not desert me my Brothers in Arms gets me every time 😢
What a wonderful song to react to for Memorial Day. Thank you to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. You will never be forgotten or forsaken.
Hits so deep in my soul every time. Every song they do is fire♥️
This was the perfect choice for a Memorial Day weekend reaction. This is a sombre remembrance of those brothers in arms who put on the uniform but never got to take it off. The other HF song that's suitable for Memorial Day (but better for Independence Day) is HF's collaborative performance of "God Bless the USA" ( ua-cam.com/video/0Japc8M8RQw/v-deo.html ) with the original artist, Lee Greenwood, and the Singing Sergeants vocal unit of the U.S. Air Force Band.
I consider thus cover, teir masterpuece, however the song they just released last Froday, an original, may be their all-time best....Stargazer Lillies....it's so beautiful. This is a Dire Sstraits song, written by their lead singer, Mark Knopfler. By the way Stargazer Lilles was written by Austin, Mr Barbell (sorry I don't know your 1st names) get ready to look at your wife a lot during Stargazzer Lillies...and yes do MayDay soon too
Goddess, I totally agree. This song is so hauntingly beautiful and always brings emotional tears to my eyes. Then there's Stargazer Lilies. That one became my instant forever favorite not even halfway through hearing it for the first time. these guys are amazing and I can't wait to tell them that this weekend.
@@nightthornkvala94132 I regret not buying the VIP expiernce back in April when I saw them in Ft Meyers, as I do have a couple of question for them.....Who thought of the great idea for the song by Jeffrey East called People - using that apt setting over a 50 year period was genius, and also what is their very favorite venue to hold a concert?
Written by Mark Knopfler in 1982 and released in October 1985, Brothers In Arms is the title track from Dire Straits' album of the same name. The emotion in the original song comes from Mark's voice that practically converses with his guitar. Here, are 5 great artists with Tim Foust being almost inhuman.
You need to listen to "Misty Mountains Cold" by Peter Hollens, ft. Tim Foust. This is from "The Hobbit". Just the two of them covering five octaves, and 120 layers. OMG!!!
This entire Album of same name from Dire Straits was amazing,social comentary and most people totally missed it. Money for Nothing, Brothers in Arms and Walk of Life the big 3 but whole Album worth listening to lyrics.
Your reactions are always interesting . Keep up your good work.
Greetings from Sweden.
👍👍👍🇸🇪💕😎
This song was written about the Falklands War and the soldier shot is believed to be Lieutenant Lawrence shot by an Argentinian Sniper on Mt Tumbledown as the Argentinians were retreating he stood up and shouted 'are we having fun yet' a typical British military saying when in a fire fight or a sticky situation...
Before I became really immersed in a cappella, if you had told me that 5 guys singing 'ahs' and 'oohs' and 'hmmms' could bring me to tears... I'd have laughed. I don't laugh any more. This particular song combines really serious, soul-searching emotion with somber, mournful vibes, and produces such extraordinary harmonies that is simply breathtaking. You mentioned the 'national anthem... and the one world many worlds... I think this would be the 'One World" anthem. It applies to all, regardless of nation. It's impossible for me to pick my "favorite a cappella song,' but this is definitely a contender! I'm thrilled that you two have been 'bitten' by the a cappella bug. Just remember... the BEST a cappella group and best a cappella song... is the one you are listening to at that moment. Great reaction! You really "get" the depth of artisanship we witness with this performance. Keep it up!! I'll follow you anywhere!! 😉
Thank you :)
I loved the reaction! Thank you for playing this at this time. In the US, the Memorial Day holiday is next week.
Have a great weekend!
Peace, Love!!
Hauntingly beautiful
Perfect for MEMORIAL DAY
This is a Dire Straits song written by Mark Knopfler about the Falkland Islands war between Argentina and the UK. He later said it was a tribute to soldiers who died in war anywhere. This song has caused grown men, including myself, to cry. It's beautiful and sad all at the same time. My dad was at Utah Beach in the WWII Normandy invasion and I have family members who have been in combat in Vietnam. This hits in the heartstrings really hard. IMHO it's even more powerful than Mark's original version because of this presentation.
To see Home Free’s fun side you have to watch “The Butts Remix” or “All About the Bass”
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. 😥
Haughtingly beautiful
I think their best song.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Try listening to Rob & Austin's Nessa Dorma it will blow you away.
amazing, thanks
Its a great song, great enterpretation but all the credits is to Mark Knopfler who composed and wrote it.
The amount of American flags in a video that is a cover of a British song about a British soldier dying in a British was against Argentina is slightly nauseating.
This is a masterpiece - 5 part harmony and ghostly video! Great reaction and thanks! It's just haunting, not only for the message.
It’s every boy band formation when they aren’t dancing.
I just found you.
If you haven’t already, I recommend the “Butts medley” and “Can’t Stop the feeling” for fun.
I really liked Dire Straights' version of this and knew it was written while the Falklands War raged between Britain and Argentina; however, the slow, somber,and clearly spoken delivery here invokes thoughts of warriors sending a message down through time.
This is in a word, amazing.
Such an eery beautiful song. Harmonies were amazing. Loved it! 🥰
The combat aspect is the theme ... not merely the political indifference ..... the brothers in ARMS* is that of military conflict solving our nations aspirations ! Know what is done for you and the COST to others !!! GBjj
Great reaction....thank you :)
Everytime that I hear this song, I am amazed how a human voice can sound like a pipe organ.
Hauntingly beautiful, yet sends a powerful message . No beatboxing. Shivers up the spine.They remind me of a pipe organ at the climax.
I would also give Tuukka Haapaniemi's bass a listen, because his voice is truly startling when he starts to sing that song. Especially when having the female voices of the group accentuating his voice. Also their version perhaps captures the haunting sadness of the original song better: "Club For Five : Brothers In Arms".
Let me suggest a couple other songs by Tim Faust. Misty Mountains and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay to give you a good perspective of his range.
Another song you may like is by Jimmy Barnes.... Stone Cold.
I'd also like to introduce you to a amazing young lady with phenomenal talents. Anything by Lucy Thomas.
Baritone voices make my ear so happy for some reason. I can't explain why. Good stuff, Chance.
Powerful
Adam Rupp has a great voice he's just more comfortable beatboxing than singing
"In the Blood",next?
Agree, a consistent favorite for me
❤❤
This was written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straight. Which was inspired by the Falkland Wars. Between Argentina and the UK.
This song is about war wounded and war dead. The opening and closing pictures are of a military cemetery. Brothers in arms are soldiers.
One more HF reaction ("American Pie"? "Elvira"? "Listen to the Music"?) and you'll have the Home Fries' green light for "Mayday!" To appreciate fully their cover of this excellent song, you must be thoroughly familiar with the guys and their voices. You've heard solos from the 4 lead vocalists, and plenty of Adam Rupp's amazing percussion and instrumental effects. Before listening to HF's cover ( ua-cam.com/video/znoV5gND9g0/v-deo.html ), it's a good ideal to listen to the original ( ua-cam.com/video/eRrCMEXPjWo/v-deo.html ) performed by the female country vocalist Cam (Camaron Marvel Ochs.) Then, notice that HF performs the song in exactly the same key as Cam!
As suggested in other comment you need to listen to Dire Straits. Also Mark Knopfler on his own, you won't be disappointed.
They certainly did Mark Knopfler proud.
This song really stirs me. I served in the Vietnam war, so I really feel this.
I don't know if you noticed Adam doing the wind sounds towards the end of the song.
Many miss-hear the last line and it expands to totality the spectrum of the phrase "brothers in arms." Be well, be happy, Duke
We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.
I believe you are Mayday ready.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nightingales & Bombers - As Above So Below (1975)
"The title of this album was inspired by a recording made in Surrey, England during the Second World War, by an ornithologist intending to record Nightingales. The bombers flew over at the same time and were recorded by accident. The recording has been incorporated in 'As Above, So Below'". - Manfred Mann 1975[3] (In fact, the recording was made on May 1942 by a BBC sound engineer for the BBC. Intending to capture the nightingale's song he also, by accident, recorded the sound of RAF bombers on their way to attack Mannheim, Germany.)
love it! if you haven't seen or heard the original official video by Dire Straits it is a must watch and listen!
This is pretty good and even after giving their props I've still got to prefer the original by Dire Straits !!
You really should listen to the original by Dire Straits. If for nothing else than to compare, but mainly for the prefect instrumentation and the skill of playing those instruments.
Read their notes in the description
Very nice harmonies but its not a patch on the Dire Straits original. Written as a counterpoint to the Falklands war in 1982 Mark Knoplfers guitar is so much more soulful and his vocals sound heartbroken. This version is almost joyful by comparison. Please,please react and compare.
I am a big fan of Dire Straits & have their albums. Their version of this song is great! Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists out there. But I think Home Free did an excellent cover of this song. They made it very solemn sounding with just using humming & very low bass.
You must react to the original by Dire Straits.
Read love your video reactions. Thank you❤❤
This was ORIGINALLY DONE BY DIRE STRAITS!
Mark Knopfler wrote this after the Falklands war..
For the fun side of Home Free I would suggest the Butts Remix ua-cam.com/video/IA0WCc3vTls/v-deo.html And for Adam's Beat boxing he does a drum solo during the live shows ua-cam.com/video/bWsbD7vcwh4/v-deo.html
Have you ever listened to Pentatonix
Its beatiful but i prefer the original from Dire Straits
🖤🍟
Dire Straits song.
A Dire Straits ´song
This song is the antithesis of a national anthem. They, almost by definition, are "us v. them" oriented (La Marseillaise) or at least boasting.
Dire Straits, official video..... do yourself a favor.
