This song was written as during the Falkland War by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits and released in 1985. It portrays a soldier as he lay dying on the battlefield, speaking to his brothers in arms that surround him. Home Free through their incredible harmonies and the videography have created a masterpiece.
They never cease to amaze me with the harmony runs you hear at times you didnt know you needed but, did...
Home Free got this score from a group called Club for Five. They changed it a bit but not too much. And yes the original was Dire Straits
Brother even though another country, I still thank you for your service !! This song is a cover of a Dire Straits song and was released in 1985. It's a tribute to the UK war dead from the Falklands War of 1982. Hauntingly etherial and majestic in its sound by Home Free, I think they caputre all the feelings of the original. If you noticed the guys seemed to have a ghostly appearance with tranparancy. It was a dying soldier & his "brothers in arms" that had passed before him.
💜🇦🇺 Cheers Mate. We are all Brothers and Sisters, many similar cultural values and bonds have been formed since the birth of my nation.
@@ThatguyPurps yep it's the culturally realted countries, Australia, New Zealand, Canada & the motherland of us all, the UK. We traditionally all have ties cultually, language of course & usually see eye-to-eye politically as well. What Home Free did here is incredible given they had to replace the guitar & yet still give that same depth of emotion the original brought to us....I encourage you to react to the original sometime, it's amazing too
As a band accused of being “a country band” it’s so much fun watching someone discovering the many sides of Home Free, and their ability to make a song sound, no matter how well known, as if it’s brand new yet keep all the flavor of the original. (Kind of like after eating fried eggs all your life and someone comes along and gives you salt and pepper for the first time.)
As Kevin mentioned this was a Dire Straights song. The arrangement was done by a Finnish group, Club for 5. Tim asked for the arrangement from them and he tweaked it a little bit.
Great reaction!

Ethereal. Haunting. Gut wrenching. Soul stirring. Angelic. The only thing missing was the seraphic choir backing them up.
Excuse me while I track down my soul and stuff it back into my body...
At this point I've watched this video well over 100 times with reactors and I still get the chills from the lyrics and harmonies. Tim and Chance keeping that kind of breathy, vulnerable, yet powerful tone throughout. Adam, Rob and Austin holding down the backing vocals, interweaving those harmonies that support the message that is being told. You were right in your assessment about who and what this song was about from Home Free's standpoint. The video was released just before Veterans Day here in the USA, but it's also a call for unity and inclusiveness for everyone in a time where so many issues try to divide us. Thank you for your service and for contributing to the conversation that Home Free is promoting.
This video is Haunting, Mesmerizing, Magical and a Beautiful Masterpice.
From and American Air Force vet to and Aussie vet THANK YOU for serving brother
And thankyou for yours 💜🇦🇺 Its an experience only those that have been around it can understand.
While it is a cover.... it is NOT Dire Straits they covered. This five part harmony arrangement was done by Club For Five, a Finnish A Capella group. They gave HF HIGH PRAISE for this, and Tuukka the grand master bass from Club For Five is one of Tim's inspirations and mentors.
First thank you for serving. I was in battles along side Aussie soldiers in Vietnam . I'm glad they were on our side . God bless you for this
I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but I have done a lot of singing with choruses. Much of what I did was accompanied by pipe organs. Those last two notes as you look at the flag waving in the breeze sound exactly like a pipe organ. I know they are voices, but it still sounds like an organ to me. Remarkable....and never fails to deliver a chill down my spine.
Grandma's church did a lot of the old hymns.
The last part was always that two part Amen.
That is what hit me.... It ended like a prayer hymnal.
Wonderful reaction! Thank you so much!
POWERFUL!
PERFECT HARMONIES!
PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE!
BRILLIANT ARRANGEMENT!
Extremely emotional, the first time I heard this it completely broke me! I felt eviscerated, breathless, and wept like a child! It took quite a while for me to recover.
To have left me feeling so unsettled and raw it also had an aura of " Holiness" as if the guy's were standing in the presence of Angels on Holy Ground! Reverent! Sacred! I still tear up everytime I see and hear this video, it seems to have a way of drawing me in. I love everything about it and I love Home Free so so much! I've never had a group of singers that affect me and truly move me in so many different ways, directions and emotions depending on the songs and sounds as these amazing gentlemen! Home Free has changed my life for the better and I am very grateful to them! I feel very fortunate and blessed! ♥️😭🤯♥️🍟
This so hauntingly beautiful…..just awesomeness ‼️🔥‼️❤️
Beautiful song, wonderful performance!Thank you, my friend, great reaction!👍👏🇷🇺
This is a masterpiece of vocals and arrangement imo. These guys really get the message across, and know well how to use their vocal instruments. Loved it, thank you.
Great reaction Purps. This was my first time hearing this song as well. Very moving. Home Free always nails it. I've yet to encounter a song they've either written or covered that I haven't like.
This is done as only Home Free could, hauntingly beautiful!
Between Tim’s and Chance’s beautiful voices and the perfect harmonies, this is song is fantastic! I could listen to the harmonies all day long! Thanks for your great reaction!
I have listened to this song so many times and it never fails to make me cry and my whole body is just covered in goosebumps. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Dire Straits, but Home Free’s cover of this song is so spectacular!
Thank you for doing this song. It has as others have said and very Haunting and ghostly sound and look. The guys can go anywhere with a song and just make it their own. Amazing and beautiful and heart wrenching. Also thank you for your service for your country. The way I see it is the same as others below, basically we are family.
Home Free are a country group & one of their real country songs is Good Ol Country Harmony, but Brothers in Arms is my favourite of their many songs, lots of them covers.
Yes..listen to the original. What home free was able to do is amazing
This was a great reaction! I loved the points you made. I adore the way the guys did this. It's so powerful and haunting. The echo makes you feel as though you can feel the souls slipping away, and Tim's bass makes you actually feel the true power and meaning of the song. If you haven't, read the comment HF left in their description of their video. You should also check out the original by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler's guitar throughout is amazing. I love both arrangements. Both are absolutely gorgeous.
A Powerful song
First time viewer here and I did love your reaction !!! Some have called this their Masterpiece and I might have to agree. Their harmonies are superior, from Austins highs to Tims lows, fate put these voices together. I am a huge fan and listen to them every single day, in fact dont often listen to anyone else. Thanks for a very nice and thoughtful reaction.
Some music can be listened for tonality, harmony, etc. And then there are those such as this that need to be listened for lyric, emotion, etc.
The original, as someone mentioned, is by Dire Straits. It's about not being abandoned on the battlefield by his buddies.
Thanks so much for your terrific reaction to this stunning video of Home Free's cover of "Brothers In
Arms. Take care, be well.
Their harmonies took the place of the guitar in the original 1985 Dire Straights song.
Thank you, Brother. I did 8 years in the US Navy, and my daughter and her husband are currently serving in the US Navy. There are certain songs that HF does that ALWAYS bring tears to my eyes: This one, Travelin' Soldier, and One Voice are but a few.
A lot of Vietnam vets fly the POW/MIA flag, too. I think many vets, in general, fly that flag.
Interesting take on the voices crying out. It definitely gives it a different feel.
Appreciate your service Brother. I will have to check out those others for sure. Sending out my best wishes for your Daughter and Son in law that they have a safe and long career free of conflict or injury. 💜
I agree Purps, it’s hauntingly beautiful. Loved Tim’s low notes. Loved the echoes. Loved the black and white film. Tim and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. It’s a cover of the Dire Straits song in the 80’s. That’s guitar driven where this is voice driven. I love it. Good reaction and bless you for your service.
Thank you for your service. Bless you! 💙💙
Actually, you'll also see the POW/MIA flag flown at the homes of veterans as well. You'll see that flag flown in America second to the Stars and Stripes in most cases. I'm just an American veteran sharing his thoughts and perspective.
I'm a new subscriber, look forward to getting to know you, I like your style. Thank you for your service! We all need to work together Thank
God we are allies!
Thank you for your service
it is my honor to have served alongside the HMAS Perth , Viet Nam 67-68
Ty for your service
We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.
Thank you for the mention of the POW-MIA flag and it is the only other flag that is allowed to be flown on the same mast with the American flag at the White House. I served with Austrailian troops while in the US ARMY and saw such bravery from them that makes us true Brothers In Arms.
also they deliberately used the window to recreate the POW/MIA flag with their own silhouettes.
This is the Song of a dying Soldier.
I’m late to the reaction! I was definitely looking forward to your reaction to this one! I enjoyed it more than any other Home Free reaction you’ve done (so far), and I’ve enjoyed them all. Of course, it is a phenomenal cover, and they really surpassed their other songs with this one! I get chills every time I watch the video or listen to the song while streaming! It’s so powerful, even though it’s all vocal! I can’t get enough of hearing it!
❤🇺🇸
so little note of the desolate, neglected cemetery. off course Home Free's reverent honor of soldiers , all soldiers. last line is just a killer.
Great reaction. Auto-subscribe
BTW when you want to say Thank You to a Vietnam vet it is better to say welcome home as when we came home from there we were not welcome there were no parades or parties for Vietnam vets like there were for Desert Storm etc. I am one of the few who was part of both and the diff was striking. USAF 1972/1992
Welcome Home... and thank you!! ❤️
I was part of the Vietnam era. To me, it didn't matter if you believed in the war or not. The vets should never have been the punching bags for it on their return home!! That was not one of our finest hours as far as our treatment of our vets. I had a friend who served in Nam and told me what is like being there, and after he got home. I feel our vets (and families) should 'always be honored'. Your service is/was very much appreciated by me and my family.
i think they sound very reverent
Every Patriot in the US has that flag if they can fit it on the pole.
Are you okay after listening to this? Sometimes it looked like you were in pain. Even though I do not live in Australia, I thank you for your service.
Thanks for your concern 💜 It was my first reaction back after a little bit off due to some family and personal issues. TBH I probably shouldn't have recorded in that state of mind. Hopefully things will be better now and can get back to daily uploads.
@@ThatguyPurps I sincerely hope things are going better for you and continue to get better and better. Thank you for sharing your reaction and I hope to see more reactions - especially to Home Free.
As a military man I'm a bit surprised you missed the timing of the release.
Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918?
Honestly.. I had done the intro like 3 times as each had some form of technical issue. I did mention that we have Remembrance day on Nov 11 and asked if others have a similar military rememberance. It must have been in the first or second attempt though if you didnt hear me say it.
Since you seem to prefer the musically analytical approach, breaking frequently to point out the minutia of technique rather than listening for longer stretches to get the emotion and meaning, perhaps you would have benefited from a wee bit of research ahead of time so you knew this was a Dire Straits song from 1985 written during the Falkland War about the futility of war.
Blathering is never great, but there really are times to zip it.
Plenty of channels out there if you dont like what happens on this one 👍🏻
Digger, if you use comment just afore of a 'high-point' of the song , please backtrack a mite. So says I, a retired French marine...3rd. Infantry regiment.
You have a knack for interrupting at the WORST fucking time!!!
And I always go back, so you don't miss anything. You do realise that when I watch things its the 1st time I have seen it?? So how am I to know which moments are better than others? If you prefer to watch without interruption, the link for the original video is in the description.
Can you please react to 👉the lady of heaven trailer? ( The movie will be in AMC theaters by the 10th of December in the US and it is expected to have a worldwide release in various countries shortly after that ) ❤️☺️
I did a reaction to that trailer months ago 😁 Learnt all about the figures and angle of the movie from the awesome messages I recieved too.
