Pentatonix realeased a version of "The Prayer" today (30/10) for their Holiday album. It was beautiful and with flawless singing. But there is a reason I more seldom listen to them and listen almost every day to Home Free. Home Free's arangements and harmonies outshines Pentatonix by far and has done so for quite a while. Home Free is on another level. They are the gold standard of a cappella singing and in my opinion the best music group in the world.
Absolutely agree - PTX are great but... There is a huge difference between acknowledging quality and really be touched and love something. For me personally the second is Home Free. It's like you can't help to like these guys, it's seems so effortless and straight forward no matter if they make you cry of laugh the emotions come right through and you always have the feeling they chose a song because it means something to them.
It's not just that Tim can sing those low notes - it's that he can stay on pitch with those growls and hold them forever. Damn. These men can sing. No shade on Dire Straits, but Home Free doesn't cover songs, they launch them into the heavens.
GaiaOne that is so true...I think their artistry is part of it, but I think deep down they must love and respect the genius of the original and that respect just lets them transform and refresh all the music they do...indeed launch them to the heavens GaiaONe, so true
This might very well be the finest example of perfect 5-part harmony that Home Free (or, for me, any of the modern acapella groups) have ever done, and the fact that they did it with such an iconic and meaningful song just makes it all the more special. Chance has said that it is his favorite song of all time and I'm glad Tim and Chance shared the lead, and the other guys backed them so well! And the video is so beautiful and perfect. Home Free nailed everything with this one. Loved your reaction PG, have a good weekend!
I love Chance here too....his voice is just buttery smooth (as per usual), and those harmonies right after Chance sings...I never thought they would top Helplessly Hoping, but I think they have.
Home Free’s harmonics are number one for any A cappella group. It’s so smooth a transition from Tim to Chance. As a veteran, this version made me cried.
To many a vet although tears may not of fell, inside the mind body and heart paused for one long sigh. Words some of us felt but lacked ability to express to another let alone to the millions who heard HomenFree. My Irish Gramps once told me after he hD asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and I answere, "A writer". He said "Son for every story told there are millions more untold,write what other people cannot be heard. All my life of many years I have heard those untold stories through music. Stories untold from the souls , these boys just told part of millions of mens stories. Thank You, Home Free. RESPECT
they look human, they really do. out of this world talent. some how their emotions are so raw and real. I have to screw up my courage for each new song because I know its going to be quite anride!
When Tim hits those deep, solid notes it genuinely makes me think of a church organ. Amazing. Superb song, fully honouring Dire Straits. They just keep raising the bar. I think Tim's range has been getting better and smoother since Chance joined because he hasn't got to do all the bass work now.
The last harmony sounds just like a pipe organ to me. I am so glad that Chance joined to let Tim get a break from the bass all the time. And I love that he can harmonize with Tim, I love bass!
That was exactly what I was thinking! I used to sing with a pipe organ behind me, and that's exactly what it sounds .....and feels like. Brilliant arranging!
A serious message, hauntingly delivered. Tim and Chance appear ghostly in silhouettes before the windows. Their solemn reverent delivery really touches the soul.
I also listen to HOMEFREE everyday. In my opinion they are beyond compare. They definitely are in a catagory all alone. As someone said earlier, they are the GOLD STANDARD that every other group should aspire to reach! Each one of the five are the very best and cannot be replaced at this moment in time! Oh my goodness TIM, you are absolutely phenomenal... those deep low notes, the growls, and those high notes are perfection. This song was perfect for you. AMAZED, I AM AMAZED AT YOUR TALENT! CHANCE, you also were wonderful. You have a beautiful voice! Everyone in this group is so talented. THE HARMONIES , OH MY, THOSE HARMONIES...OUT OF THIS WORLD! I have been a huge fan for many years. I think that I have heard almost all of your songs, and this one is my favorite. It is so hauntingly beautiful and showcases each members talent and the talent of the group as a whole! WOW! WOW, WOW, WOW!!! GREAT SONG!
I really appreciate how easily you get touched by the melancholy in songs such as these. They are my absolute favorites. Sad songs are the most soulful of all.
I like how it still sounds like a Dire Straits song. Home Free did it their way, but I can still hear the Dire Straits unique tone in harmonies. Powerful.
Each of these men have an amazing voice and amazing talent but when combined they are angelic with their harmonies. I get chills every time they sing, preform.
I thought I would miss that awesome guitar in the Dire Straits version but the harmonies are so glorious. HF have shown so much respect to the original and Tim's bass is out of this world and I love Chance in this. His voice seems to be so suited to Rock'n'Roll songs (see also Born in the USA).Great reaction, man. Was pleased that you knew the original too because it helps to understand how awesome this cover was without detracting at all from the DS version.
I don't think it's the Dire Straits one Lyle.....Hauntingly beautiful....The vocals of Tim at the beginning just hits you right in the heart. The harmonies are sublimely both warming and chilling. Sung with such respect to the fallen hero and to those who still serve. Congratulations Home Free you are BRILLAINT!
Loved this. It’s so hauntingly beautiful. Stunning. I agree with you that they look almost ghost like in the windows. Tim’s low notes are awe inspiring. Chance was wonderful. Loved the echoes. Just loved it. Good reaction PG!
This is a haunting and at the same time beautiful song, by the guys. Tim and Chance just brought it home. Adam, Rob and Austin in the background held it together. Amazing and also so hard to deal with in this day and time. The windows floating through and around them made it feel so real. Thank you for reacting and watching the extra times. Much appreciated.
Those vocal harmonies are just so perfect and haunting. I wonder how long they practiced this song, I know these are super talented vocalists, but Wow this is just so complex and beautiful. Of course the emotion they bring forth just leaves me stunned each time I listen. Their Masterpiece !!!
That you listened to it twice speaks volumes to me, but a third time left me speechless. I know that you understand Home Free's capabilities all too well. This one took it to a new level for you and left you quite speechless I believe. Rightly so. Like Helplessly Hoping, Adam (percussionist/beat boxer) sang in this song along with the other guys. He has an absolutely amazing voice besides the ability to make noises that make us want to dance. Their emotions often put me in tears, so genuine and so very real. Voices from another world and I feel so privileged just to be able to listen to them. World Class and so happy the world has finally discovered them. Thank you for your reaction.
This would made Mark very proud. The bass. The baritone. And those harmonies. It sounds like haunting Gregorian chants, just beautiful and breathtaking. And love that you got the, wow just WOW feeling.
I appreciate this song and it hits close to home. I married a man who was very proud to serve his country. I also have two sons who served; one in Afghanistan for a year. I am sure this song would hit them harder than it is me. I shed a few tears as I listened to this low harmony. Gorgeous.
I absolutely love this cover! I agree with you! I don’t know how they’ll top this one, but I know they will! They’re extremely talented and this just proves how much! I always love hearing the 5-part harmonies, and this was pristine! Tim’s low notes were perfectly placed and he sings them so smoothly! Chance’s voice is also perfect for this song in his baritone, rich and airy tone! It’s such a powerful song! I never heard the Dire Straits’ version before I heard Home Free’s cover, but I did give it a partial listen. I love Dire Straits and this is way far off from what they normally sing, but Mark wrote a beautiful and poignant song! I wonder what he would think if he heard this cover! I love that you played it not twice, but three times! It’s definitely worthy of that!
your reactions are always thoughtful and detailed and I like that. This song is magnificent. I'm pretty sure Adam did the wind sounds. Subtle and perfect, as usual.
This was perfect, their harmonies are so beautiful and clear and I love Tim's low range , but the one note that Chance hit, changes the tone of the song. Simply gorgeous
In the concert the other night they did Land of the Free and closed with God Bless the USA which had me in tears and now this song 🎵 its so Respectfully Beautiful
I've listened to this countless times since the CD was released, but still amazed and struck every time! Knew you would be too - love your reactions in general and this in particular! Thank you! Wish I could give more than one thumb up!
All I could think of listening & watching this video was the futility of war in any country. There are no winners only losers. I have always loved this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural bass was awesome & so were all the guys doing 5 part harmonies.
The premier left me speechless, helpless, head bowed in humble silence. After some recovery one of my first thoughts was, "Crap, it's Saturday for Lyle, am I gonna hafta wait til next week to watch his reaction?!" I'm so glad you got to it right away. I knew you'd play it at least twice and was hoping for a third. Yep, you came through with that too. Thank you! Much can be said about this magnificent performance but what was most moving for me was that they were so selfless, as if there weren't five amazing individuals, just one powerful and poignant message delivering itself through them. It was worth the wait for this one from them and it would've been worth waiting for your selfless take on it too, but thanks for not making me!
🇧🇷 I did think on Patrol Gaming when I saw the vídeo: Let’s do it agiam ! It has to be done it is too much to cover in one watching! Thanks for The reaction very quickly 😊
I have never heard that song before and I’m so glad this is my first version. The harmonies are just hauntingly beautiful and the goose bumps I get from it all!!! They need to make a new album with this song on it!!! I love the echoing and the depth of the song
You could have gone around 6 times and I would have watched the whole video. Twice. The harmonies in this song are so tight, it's impossible to listen without chills.
Home Free with another message song that people didn't realize they needed. The way that they approach social issues head on is so commendable! If this song didn't touch you and really make you think, then you may need to take a good hard look at your life. I stayed with you through all 3 times. Great reaction! Keep up the awesome work! ❤
I love that they portrayed the guys as 'ghosts', representing those soldiers who lost their lives in the Falklands war. Very poignant portrayal that got the theme across, soldiers killing soldiers, their Brothers In Arms.
It is hauntingly beautiful, I too was wondering which way they will go with the video, this just gave me goosebumps from the first note to the last. They can make us laugh and then they can rip the feels out from inside of you. Tim and Chance just takes you on a journey of looking inside of you, the other three just makes up for a hauntingly, makes you think song.
"These mist covered mountains are home now for me, but my home is the lowlands ". Is he interned in one of those graves.? It's like he's a spirit. And then the window panes showing through them. Chill raiser.!
The adjective I've seen used most often when referring to the harmonies is "haunting". And it's a great choice. The music just stays with you. As much as I enjoy watching the video, I find myself closing my eyes so I can just concentrate on the music.
This arrangement is a combination of an arrangement from a Finnish a cappella group (Club for Five?) and some tweaks by Tim. Tim contacted the Finnish group, and they gave him their arrangement. This was done in honor of Veteran’s Day, 2001
When I first got this CD I wasn't so sure about this song. The more I listened the more I liked it. Seeing the video makes me like it even more. Grows on you each time you listen to them. They do a great job and the video is great....
There's a depth to these lyrics that goes beyond war, and Home Free did what they always do, they infuse the songs they do with energies that highlight love and respect for each other even though we live in different worlds in this one world. Hauntingly stunning harmonies. Thanks for the quick reaction, Lyle! 🥰🙏
I got this CD when it first came out. I pre ordered it. I have every CD they have for sale. I was totally shocked when I heard this song, because I am a fan of Dire Straits.
I think they are ghosts of soldiers. The windows go through all of them and tgen when Chance sings that he wasn't left behind, his silhouette makes the POW/MIA flag
At the end, if you had your eyes closed, they sound like an organ. For Christmas, I would recommend Home Free's Warmest Winter and Winter Song and their collaboration with Chris Rupp on What Child Is This.
Oh my, thank you for sharing such an honest and heartfelt reaction with us! With so much "butting of heads" as you put it, it was nice to watch this with people who respect the message as much as the awesome vessels that delivered it (HF). They said they released it close to Veterans Day (Nov. 11, 2021) but it has a message for us all. Thanks again🎶💖
Perhaps I'm just connecting lines, but just as Tim is singing "the suns going to hell" I can see what looks like a lighted cross over Adam. Is anyone else connecting those lines? I loved your reaction, as usual, thank you!
I had never heard Dire Straight’s version of this so after you played it by HF the first time I broke away to listen to it. Wow … both versions … I cannot choose one over another. I am older and from the Vietnam era where our young men were drafted and then were spit upon and called vulgar names when they returned home. Most young men who returned were never the same. This song has brought forth a flood of memories and of flood of faces of young men who never came back. I thought my grief had healed … it has not.
From one vet (not of that era) to another, Welcome home, Brother! May God watch over you and heal your soul. Thank you and all of your military brothers and sisters for your fine service to our country.
I am so so very sorry for what you went through and still suffer. I was a young adult in those years and remember well. I am from a rural state nd was sheltered from the what went on, but I did see it on the news. It was a horrible time !!!!
I always love your reactions to Home Free. Thank you. This is one of those deep powerful songs that leaves you speechless. The harmonies are wonderful, just amazing. Take care.
I had a feeling you’d do multiple viewings 😍🎼👏! I’ve had the pleasure of hearing this since the album came out, but it stays with you and hits you every time.
And Home Free hits it out of the park with another one! I have just about worn my Land of the Free cd out at this point. I play this on repeat so often
This song has been one of my favorites for years. I was in high school when the Brothers In Arms album came out in 1985 and loved just about every song on that one. I saw this title come down on the new Home Free album releases and immediately thought, “No way! How are they going to pull off all that luscious guitar by Mark Knopfler?” But, alas! Along comes my favorite group of today, that I listen to every day, and they just send this song to the moon! My God, was that great! So we’ll arranged, and so we’ll performed! This is my new standard! It amazing that more artist with signature songs don’t have restraining orders against Home Free covering their recordings! Haha! Now, being a veteran, this song is even more special to me. Just in time for Veteran’s Day, great job, fellas! Love you guys!
Some artists have come to them (I'm sure PTX have had artists go to them also) and ask them to do a song of theirs. Some artists have commented on their videos also.
I'm really loving watching you ❣️ thanks 😊 I was a little apprehensive to watch these guys do this cuz I only saw them do one other one, and I loved the Dire Straights one so much, but boy, they DID NOT disappoint. I'm now a huge fan of theirs and yours. I'm so excited you put extra time and effort to play it over a couple times. Keep doin this for us! See ya soon
Wonderful, you didn't interrupt like some on here, they're completely wrapped up in themselves and how important they are. Well done I'm subscribing 👏👏👏👏👏
This is an outstanding rendition of the song, that is true. However, Home Free acknowledges on their own page that the arrangement is not their own: "Arrangement by Susanna Hietala & Jouni Kannisto of Club for Five". Club for Five has an amazing bass singer as well who shines in their performance as Tim does here.
Seen the guy's again last night here in Wisconsin. Great concert as always but last night they seemed to have an extra " spring in their step" and we could feel how much they love being back on the road again. The way they sing this is hauntingly beautiful but with the video, it really does make you stop to think... Agree with you all the way Lyle...
I was there too. Loved every bit of their performance, and meeting the guys was quite the thrill. Yes, they were so happy to be awash in the affection of their happy fans.
@@petuniasevan I was the one who got to give them their gifts and then drinks.. Austin was rather quiet because of his cold, but you couldn't tell he had one when he sang.. Got to be rough having to get out there when you're sick... Their light show was awesome, specially when Adam put on his jacket with the shoulder mirrors on it. It reflected up to the ceiling.. Pretty kool... Can't wait for the next one. These guy's are just real people. Not getting on stage for money, but because they love what they do.. So do we... lol Wish we could have met.. I did get to meet Marlene Kloth ( Home Fry) That was nice too...
@@2wheels298 I didn't realize that Austin was sick. He did seem a bit off at the meet-and-greet, but as I can have issues reading people, I thought it was just me. Thanks for the info, and I hope Austin feels better very soon. I was in seat 7 front row and I saw you giving the guys their gifts. Thanks also to you for doing that.

No other vocal group hits you in the “feels” like Home Free.
@@cavamom Exactly!
I agree with everything you said, I too believe they are the best vocal group in the world.

He said "Son for every story told there are millions more untold,write what other people cannot be heard.
All my life of many years I have heard those untold stories through music.
Stories untold from the souls , these boys just told part of millions of mens stories.
Thank You, Home Free.

Agree with the church organ analogy - especially on that final gorgeous chord.
A serious message, hauntingly delivered.
Tim and Chance appear ghostly in silhouettes before the windows.
Their solemn reverent delivery really touches the soul.
They took me to church. Beautiful, haunting, solemn and reverential. I sobbed listening to this. Amazing.

Home Free is the MASTER of harmonies coupled with genius of arrangement Darren Russ demonstrate the insane talent of the band 👏 👌
they didn't arrange this piece. the arrangment was made by susanna lukkarinen and juha kannisto from the a capella group club for five
My 4th time watching this video. Chills and tears every time 😢 One of, if not, the best they've done 💜💜💜
This song is hauntingly beautiful. The harmony!! great reaction!
I thought I would miss that awesome guitar in the Dire Straits version but the harmonies are so glorious. HF have shown so much respect to the original and Tim's bass is out of this world and I love Chance in this. His voice seems to be so suited to Rock'n'Roll songs (see also Born in the USA).Great reaction, man. Was pleased that you knew the original too because it helps to understand how awesome this cover was without detracting at all from the DS version.
I don't think it's the Dire Straits one Lyle.....Hauntingly beautiful....The vocals of Tim at the beginning just hits you right in the heart. The harmonies are sublimely both warming and chilling. Sung with such respect to the fallen hero and to those who still serve. Congratulations Home Free you are BRILLAINT!
Yep its the Dire Straits song they're covering.
For sure it is a Dire Straits song The álbum has the saem name
I am LOVING your reaction! Wow! This performance also stunned me, 100% !!!
Loved this. It’s so hauntingly beautiful. Stunning. I agree with you that they look almost ghost like in the windows. Tim’s low notes are awe inspiring. Chance was wonderful. Loved the echoes. Just loved it. Good reaction PG!
This is a haunting and at the same time beautiful song, by the guys. Tim and Chance just brought it home. Adam, Rob and Austin in the background held it together. Amazing and also so hard to deal with in this day and time. The windows floating through and around them made it feel so real. Thank you for reacting and watching the extra times. Much appreciated.
Those vocal harmonies are just so perfect and haunting. I wonder how long they practiced this song, I know these are super talented vocalists, but Wow this is just so complex and beautiful. Of course the emotion they bring forth just leaves me stunned each time I listen. Their Masterpiece !!!
The cinematography in this is AMAZING.... They deserve a lot of credit for this video.
That you listened to it twice speaks volumes to me, but a third time left me speechless. I know that you understand Home Free's capabilities all too well. This one took it to a new level for you and left you quite speechless I believe. Rightly so. Like Helplessly Hoping, Adam (percussionist/beat boxer) sang in this song along with the other guys. He has an absolutely amazing voice besides the ability to make noises that make us want to dance. Their emotions often put me in tears, so genuine and so very real. Voices from another world and I feel so privileged just to be able to listen to them. World Class and so happy the world has finally discovered them. Thank you for your reaction.
This would made Mark very proud.
The bass.
The baritone.
And those harmonies.
It sounds like haunting Gregorian chants, just beautiful and breathtaking.
And love that you got the, wow just WOW feeling.
I appreciate this song and it hits close to home. I married a man who was very proud to serve his country. I also have two sons who served; one in Afghanistan for a year. I am sure this song would hit them harder than it is me. I shed a few tears as I listened to this low harmony. Gorgeous.
I absolutely love this cover! I agree with you! I don’t know how they’ll top this one, but I know they will! They’re extremely talented and this just proves how much! I always love hearing the 5-part harmonies, and this was pristine! Tim’s low notes were perfectly placed and he sings them so smoothly!

I love that you played it not twice, but three times! It’s definitely worthy of that!
Listened to this twice and then 2 different reaction videos and I still have goosebumps. HF is simply the best. Loved your reaction by the way.
So respect your reaction to this. 'Hard to process'. The most hauntingly beautiful song they've ever done. Ghost images are extremely powerful.
Home Free have never been better, this will be hard to top. And Tim is in a league of his own
your reactions are always thoughtful and detailed and I like that. This song is magnificent. I'm pretty sure Adam did the wind sounds. Subtle and perfect, as usual.
This was perfect, their harmonies are so beautiful and clear and I love Tim's low range , but the one note that Chance hit, changes the tone of the song. Simply gorgeous
I'm with you, I had no idea how they'd fill Knopfler's guitar, but they sure did it! Incredible arrangement! They took it to a whole other level. ❤️
the arrangment was made by susanna lukkarinen and juha kannisto from the a capella group club for five
Home Free slays every single song. They are phenomenal! ❤❤❤❤❤
In the concert the other night they did Land of the Free and closed with God Bless the USA which had me in tears and now this song 🎵 its so Respectfully Beautiful
We caught them in Effingham, IL on 10/22. Sounds like the same set. Amazing evening.
I've listened to this countless times since the CD was released, but still amazed and struck every time! Knew you would be too - love your reactions in general and this in particular! Thank you! Wish I could give more than one thumb up!

@@PatrolNation My pleasure, every time.
🇧🇷 I did think on Patrol Gaming when I saw the vídeo: Let’s do it agiam ! It has to be done it is too much to cover in one watching!
Thanks for The reaction very quickly 😊
And patrol being speechless trying to gather his thoughts and wrap his head around what he just heard.
You gave their version the silent awe it deserved. Thank you.
I have never heard that song before and I’m so glad this is my first version. The harmonies are just hauntingly beautiful and the goose bumps I get from it all!!! They need to make a new album with this song on it!!! I love the echoing and the depth of the song
I got the “Land of the Free” cd, and fell in love with this song pretty quickly. Their harmonies are otherworldly,as always.
That was a powerful work of art with an equally powerful message.
You could have gone around 6 times and I would have watched the whole video. Twice. The harmonies in this song are so tight, it's impossible to listen without chills.
Home Free with another message song that people didn't realize they needed. The way that they approach social issues head on is so commendable! If this song didn't touch you and really make you think, then you may need to take a good hard look at your life. I stayed with you through all 3 times. Great reaction! Keep up the awesome work! ❤
So glad these 5 men found each other. Great reaction
I love that they portrayed the guys as 'ghosts', representing those soldiers who lost their lives in the Falklands war. Very poignant portrayal that got the theme across, soldiers killing soldiers, their Brothers In Arms.
tim smashed it out the park the bass is back
It is hauntingly beautiful, I too was wondering which way they will go with the video, this just gave me goosebumps from the first note to the last. They can make us laugh and then they can rip the feels out from inside of you. Tim and Chance just takes you on a journey of looking inside of you, the other three just makes up for a hauntingly, makes you think song.
"These mist covered mountains are home now for me, but my home is the lowlands ". Is he interned in one of those graves.? It's like he's a spirit. And then the window panes showing through them. Chill raiser.!
My brothers, MIA'S , MY HEROES FOREVER MY BROTHERS. GOD keep them forever 🙏
The adjective I've seen used most often when referring to the harmonies is "haunting". And it's a great choice. The music just stays with you. As much as I enjoy watching the video, I find myself closing my eyes so I can just concentrate on the music.
I always appreciate your thoughtful reactions. This song is almost beyond words, so hauntingly beautiful and reverent.
A whole new level to an already fabulous song...wow.
What a beautiful song! As usual, Home Free sang it beautifully. The harmonies were great! Great reaction, too!
Adam made some cool wind noises in their rendition of "Do you hear what I hear," so I wouldn't be surprised if it were him in this lovely song too.
Adam also did wind sounds in "Winter Song".
This arrangement is a combination of an arrangement from a Finnish a cappella group (Club for Five?) and some tweaks by Tim. Tim contacted the Finnish group, and they gave him their arrangement. This was done in honor of Veteran’s Day, 2001
They nailed it again 💘💘💘💘
When I first got this CD I wasn't so sure about this song. The more I listened the more I liked it. Seeing the video makes me like it even more. Grows on you each time you listen to them. They do a great job and the video is great....
Simply phenomenal ❤❤❤
"Brothers in AMRS"... that left me speechless as well ;-)
There's a depth to these lyrics that goes beyond war, and Home Free did what they always do, they infuse the songs they do with energies that highlight love and respect for each other even though we live in different worlds in this one world. Hauntingly stunning harmonies. Thanks for the quick reaction, Lyle! 🥰🙏
I got this CD when it first came out. I pre ordered it.
I have every CD they have for sale.
I was totally shocked when I heard this song, because I am a fan of Dire Straits.
Thank You for your great reaction…it’s just so beautiful….hard to come up with more adjectives….they’re just Better each time 🥰🔥‼️
I think they are ghosts of soldiers. The windows go through all of them and tgen when Chance sings that he wasn't left behind, his silhouette makes the POW/MIA flag
Good man! Thank you Lyle. Great job by HF and you. 👍🏼
At the end, if you had your eyes closed, they sound like an organ. For Christmas, I would recommend Home Free's Warmest Winter and Winter Song and their collaboration with Chris Rupp on What Child Is This.
Oh my, thank you for sharing such an honest and heartfelt reaction with us! With so much "butting of heads" as you put it, it was nice to watch this with people who respect the message as much as the awesome vessels that delivered it (HF). They said they released it close to Veterans Day (Nov. 11, 2021) but it has a message for us all. Thanks again🎶💖
Perhaps I'm just connecting lines, but just as Tim is singing "the suns going to hell" I can see what looks like a lighted cross over Adam. Is anyone else connecting those lines? I loved your reaction, as usual, thank you!
Their harmonies are so haunting in this one. They really do Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits proud!
I had never heard Dire Straight’s version of this so after you played it by HF the first time I broke away to listen to it. Wow … both versions … I cannot choose one over another.
I am older and from the Vietnam era where our young men were drafted and then were spit upon and called vulgar names when they returned home. Most young men who returned were never the same. This song has brought forth a flood of memories and of flood of faces of young men who never came back. I thought my grief had healed … it has not.
Stay strong Brother. The Black Dog visits most of us Veterans at some time in our lives. just reach out to talk with other Vets.
From one vet (not of that era) to another, Welcome home, Brother! May God watch over you and heal your soul. Thank you and all of your military brothers and sisters for your fine service to our country.
I know it's not said near enough, thank you all for your service!
@Char, thank you for your service. Years too late, thank you for your service.
I am so so very sorry for what you went through and still suffer. I was a young adult in those years and remember well. I am from a rural state nd was sheltered from the what went on, but I did see it on the news. It was a horrible time !!!!
The Song, and the Vocal arrangement kind of grab you by the Soul. Great reaction.
Great reaction! This song disturbs me but I love it
Usually Home Free makes me feel good.
Not this time. I don't usually feel like this. "Feel" isn't strong enough. Real men.
Haunting, beautiful, goosebumps!😢
I was speechless too. Brother.
I always love your reactions to Home Free. Thank you. This is one of those deep powerful songs that leaves you speechless. The harmonies are wonderful, just amazing. Take care.
Missed it! Beautiful rendition from home free as always....
Pure perfection! The otherworldly harmonies go right to your gut the stay with you for reflection. I was completely pulled in.
This song is a prayer, so full of reverence.
This one is definitely worth a 3rd time through. Best harmonization ever. Love your reactions.
I had a feeling you’d do multiple viewings 😍🎼👏! I’ve had the pleasure of hearing this since the album came out, but it stays with you and hits you every time.
I was watching you, when you played it again. This one really hit your heart! I saw you, and was in awe! Thank you for your honest reactions! ❤️ 🙏🏻
This gets to the gut. So beautiful and haunting. Every song they cover is a 100% better than the original. I love HOME FREE.
Hits in the feelings
And Home Free hits it out of the park with another one! I have just about worn my Land of the Free cd out at this point. I play this on repeat so often
This song has been one of my favorites for years. I was in high school when the Brothers In Arms album came out in 1985 and loved just about every song on that one. I saw this title come down on the new Home Free album releases and immediately thought, “No way! How are they going to pull off all that luscious guitar by Mark Knopfler?” But, alas! Along comes my favorite group of today, that I listen to every day, and they just send this song to the moon! My God, was that great! So we’ll arranged, and so we’ll performed! This is my new standard! It amazing that more artist with signature songs don’t have restraining orders against Home Free covering their recordings! Haha! Now, being a veteran, this song is even more special to me. Just in time for Veteran’s Day, great job, fellas! Love you guys!
Some artists have come to them (I'm sure PTX have had artists go to them also) and ask them to do a song of theirs. Some artists have commented on their videos also.
I'm really loving watching you ❣️ thanks 😊 I was a little apprehensive to watch these guys do this cuz I only saw them do one other one, and I loved the Dire Straights one so much, but boy, they DID NOT disappoint. I'm now a huge fan of theirs and yours. I'm so excited you put extra time and effort to play it over a couple times. Keep doin this for us! See ya soon
When I got my CD this was one of my favorites. But the video is stellar.
im shattered
Wonderful, you didn't interrupt like some on here, they're completely wrapped up in themselves and how important they are.
Well done I'm subscribing 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much for reacting to this so quickly and doing it not twice but thrice. Be well.
This is an outstanding rendition of the song, that is true. However, Home Free acknowledges on their own page that the arrangement is not their own:
"Arrangement by Susanna Hietala & Jouni Kannisto of Club for Five". Club for Five has an amazing bass singer as well who shines in their performance as Tim does here.
Still so appropriate 36 years later. Loved the Dire Straits version, but this blows that away.
Seen the guy's again last night here in Wisconsin. Great concert as always but last night they seemed to have an extra " spring in their step" and we could feel how much they love being back on the road again. The way they sing this is hauntingly beautiful but with the video, it really does make you stop to think... Agree with you all the way Lyle...
I was there too. Loved every bit of their performance, and meeting the guys was quite the thrill. Yes, they were so happy to be awash in the affection of their happy fans.
@@petuniasevan I was the one who got to give them their gifts and then drinks.. Austin was rather quiet because of his cold, but you couldn't tell he had one when he sang.. Got to be rough having to get out there when you're sick... Their light show was awesome, specially when Adam put on his jacket with the shoulder mirrors on it. It reflected up to the ceiling.. Pretty kool... Can't wait for the next one. These guy's are just real people. Not getting on stage for money, but because they love what they do.. So do we... lol Wish we could have met.. I did get to meet Marlene Kloth ( Home Fry) That was nice too...
@@2wheels298 I didn't realize that Austin was sick. He did seem a bit off at the meet-and-greet, but as I can have issues reading people, I thought it was just me. Thanks for the info, and I hope Austin feels better very soon. I was in seat 7 front row and I saw you giving the guys their gifts. Thanks also to you for doing that.
I thinking "haunting" is the word I would use to describe this one.
Lyle..... *Gloria* by Peter Hollens & David Archulata for the Christmas list
Been looking forward to this since I DLed the LofF album. I think this tops their 5-part harmony songs. Just remarkable.
It was powerful b4 they came out with the video. Then just added to it.
When you see Tim's silhouet at the window, it reminds me of the POW/MIA flag. Maybe they had that in mind.
