Their 5 part harmonies are unmatchable imo. To me, this is HF's platinum level A cappella masterpiece.
Yes, Tim's bass goes through you, It's truly a 4D experience at a concert.
Can't wait to go to one!
No matter how many times I hear Home Free's version of this beautiful song it brings me to tears and leaves me breathless. They did Dire Straits proud. "Brothers in Arms", "Helplessly Hoping" and "In The Blood" are three of my top five Home Free songs. Thank you for a beautiful reaction, enjoying your channel tremendously.
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your kind words! I will have to check out "In The Blood" very soon.
Yes! Any of today's accapella LISTEN with headphones!!! (A Must) ............ Home Free has this uncanny ability to (still searching for words!) CHANGE, ENHANCE, NEW FEEL --- Depth and so on. :) And don't be embarrassed to say "Better than the original"; we've all said it but "dared" to ... on any cover (but not all -- but that is personal opinion!). About 8yrs for me ... and Still blown away, impressed -- nearly speechless; intrigued so, that I had to see it for myself ---------- and YEP... they are nearly unreal ----- and I'll see 'em again!!!!! Be Safe
They know how to pack a punch in a new way. They just have a gift that way. It's hard to explain. I think they made the right choice when they had Tim and Chance take the leads, their voices fit the words and the "feelings" at the time in the song.
Any of the guys could have sung on this, but the bass voices give it that sense of gravity that this song deserves.
This is why we always tell reactors to wear headphones when listening to a cappella - and specifically Home Free. You don't know all the intricacies you're missing when you don't use them. Ginger, sometimes there just aren't any words after listening to a masterpiece like this and that's okay - we understand. Having said that, I think you're doing a fantastic job of relaying your thoughts. Most of all, we just want to share the experience of you hearing it. Great job! 🖤🍟
Well said!
Thank you, ya'll are so kind to me and I appreciate you all so very much! I really love doing this in my free time and I love every single Home Fry! And yes, headphones are critical :)
I love this version, and every time I hear it, I can imagine this done on a big pipe organ in a church. Beautiful!
That would be amazing!
It's Chances voice that kills me in this one- the wistfulness and softness.. I love this song but it absolutely breaks my heart every time ❤
This is a haunting version. Just shivers!
Great choice and reaction, Ginger Fry! This is one of my favorite HF songs. This is so hauntingly beautiful!
It really is! Haunting is a great word for it! I adore it
The way they sing this song makes you not only hear it but you feel it in your bones! Chance blew me away in this, his voice is so full & warm & just envelops you! I’m enjoying your reactions to Home Free.
Thanks so much!
Tim always lets you know where he's going . Just watch the hands !!
Your recognition of Home Free's unique approach to this song is appreciated.
Don't feel bad about running out of words to describe what HomeFree means to you when they sing. They do that to most of us. They can definitely sound angelic. That's why we get so emotionally attached to them. Plus, they are just good men. I haven't met them but i believe that. Plus, they seem so grounded and down to earth, like they could be a very good friend. It all feels authentic.
Thanks for reacting to this. It's a whole other side of the amazing vocal talents of Home Free.
My pleasure!
Thanks Ginger, for reacting to this one... one of my favorites that I've heard HF do. You're getting close to being ready for "Mayday" which we don't recommend until you're quite familiar with Home Free. Then it will mean much more to you.
I have always been a fan of this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural breathy bass was awesome along with Chance's smooth baritone & loved it when all the guys were doing 5 part harmonies. Who would believe humming could sound so good. They gave it a very solemn feeling. I love that they don't overproduce their songs. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there.
Same!
Home Free never disappoints!!! I love when Tim summons the dragon! Great reaction Ginger! Loving your reactions and channel! Echos of the past, what a great thing to say!
Thanks so much, friend! :)
This is such a hauntingly beautiful version of this song.

Chance really shows up in this song. It’s one of my favorites of all time but it’s so much more with this song than because they have angels 😇 behind them all of them. Thank you Ginger for the great song and greatest reaction. ❤
Thank you!
They used some iconic imagery as well, ghostly images at the windows, invoking the MIA-POW flag, also reminding that the soldier is dying from his wounds.
Absolute masterpiece! Home Free has a way of touching your soul like no other group can. You could see the reverence in all of their faces as they sang this, giving the meaning of the song total respect. They are the best, period. Love Home Free! Thank you Ginger Fry and I’m so glad you enjoyed this and appreciated it for story it was intended to tell. ❤️
Thank you! I agree with your description. They are the best!
Those chords always remind me of a pipe organ. I love having Adam Rupp's 5th part in this one, too.
It’s hauntingly beautiful. One of my favorites of theirs and I agree with you if you don’t listen with headphones, you’re really missing out. I’ve seen a few people listen without headphones and it makes me sad/angry because they’re missing so much. Yes, it takes it out of you doesn’t it?! Dire Straits is beautiful but is guitar driven where this is voice driven. I love this one. Loved Tim’s lows, loved the echoes, loved the almost black & white look to the video. Tim and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. Great reaction Ginger!😪😊
Thank you! This song was fantastic and headphones are an absolute must! Have a super evening :)
You should listen to Peter Hollens with Tim Foust doing Misty Mountain if you want to see just how deep Tim can go. It is a shocker. Great reaction, as usual.
I'll check it out! And thank you 😊
What’s striking about “Brothers In Arms” is just how much writer Mark Knopfler manages to convey in a minimum of words. With startling efficiency, he inhabits the soul of a wounded soldier who muses on his surroundings and waxes philosophical as his life ebbs out. It seems likely that Knopfler had the Falklands War, which took place in 1982 between the United Kingdom and Argentina, in mind when he wrote the song. But by keeping specifics out of the narrative, he makes the song a timeless treatise on the senselessness of war.
Beautifully said! 100% agree
His percussion work is always amazing, but the extra layer the group gets when Adam Rupp brings in his bell-clear voice on tracks like this and How Great Thou Art is next level, even for HF
When you said you had chills, i know that feeling exactly. ❤️❤️
So much emotion and so well sung by Home Free 💞
Their version of this song never fails to bring chills ... Home Free is simply incredible !
Great reaction! This is one of those songs that makes you feel the words and their meanings. Home Free absolutely made this one their own! A beautiful song done beautifully by Home Free! ♥
This is such a hauntingly beautiful song. I've said it before. HF doesn't just cover songs. They elevate them. They sounded like a pipe organ throughout the song - especially on the last two notes. I felt like I was in church. Thank you for your reaction.
Excellent reaction! And, yeah, "wow" about covers it. A HF masterpiece. The a capella arrangement was done by the Finnish a capella group Club For Five, who graciously allowed HF to use their arrangement, with Tim only adding the echoes.
This version is a true master class in both composition and execution. Truly beautiful and haunting.
Mis. Ginger I've been listening to Home Free for years now and it always amazes me how tight there harmony's are no matter what they do sad,funny or thoughtful thay are professional and on point. Great reaction girl
Wow, thank you!
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. 😥
Hi Ginger Fry. Great reaction. I agree the original was good but this is great the way they do it.
Ginger, only voices, no percussion and I’m in tears!
In this song their backing Harmone's sound so much like a pipe organ, it is just amazingly beautiful. Enjoy
This is so very awesome. Tim's bass is so very good. If you notice the beat boxer is singing. He has a beautiful tenor voice. I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. I have headphones on and yes it reverberates. I always listen with headphones! Love your reaction!
Headphones is the way! Thank you so much! :)
Spectacular is that word - another one that you might be interested in checking out Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust of home free singing “ Misty mountains “ after you are finished with the mayday
Hi Ginger Fry, love your Home Free reactions, particularly as you have known some of the original artist's version of the song. I would recommend you reviewing Home Free's version of Percy Sledge's 'When A Man Loves A Woman'!
Coming very soon! And thank you :)
Home Free's superpower is to bring out a depth of emotion in every song they do, be it solemnity, joy, happiness, longing, etc...
This was released just before Veterans Day in 2021.
Perfect!
I love that Home Free have arrangements where Tim actually sings as a bass & isn't just used as a background as he deserves to be featured. Love this - also Everybody walking this Land. I think they paid tribute to Dire Straits in this version. The arrangement was by a Finnish acapella group, Club for Five. Great reaction
This is so hauntingly beautiful. I was not familiar with the original and when I went to listen to it after hearing this version, I thought I had clicked on the wrong video because it is so different from this. This arrangement was made by the Danish group Club for Five and Tim asked if the boys could use it. The Club for Five version is also worth a listen. Different from this as it has mixed male and female voices and instrumentation, but also quite moving.
Great reaction. This song really hits the feels.
Tims breathy bass is so haunting in this
It really is! I love it so 😍
evreytime if i hear this song, my heart melts and tears are running
Same!
No need to apologize for the emotion they evoke with their exceptional vocalization that makes you think instruments and insane harmonies are all happening at times you are not expecting or prepared to encounter as they bring the words alive in way you have never heard before. Their arrangements are sensationally good and they own the presentation in a new way that just wow you!!! They simply take a cover and make it new and make it better every time.
The capability of excellence by each of the individuals in this group is off the charts awesome that allows them the flexibility to do so many types of vocalizations and to do it exceptionally well. I have not found a genre they are afraid to tackle whether individually or as a group they are amazing. Then top that off with their arrangements that augment the presentation to be "Home Free" owned. ❣ subscribed
Thanks so much for subbing and you comment! :)
Hi Ginger! Great reaction. Definitely one of my favorites from Home Free. I too love Dire Straits but Home Free just took it to another level. Have a great day my friend!
Thanks! I wish you a wonderful day as well :)
As far as I am concerned this is my pick for Home Free's #1 masterpiece (2 is Helplessly Hoping and 3 is So Long Dixie).....just on another level....totally angelic. Great reaction Ginger 🔥🔥🔥
I agree! And thank you for your kind words :)
Thanks for reminding folks that NEED headphones in order to hear the subharmonics of Tim. Can’t hear it from TH-cam alone, and often not from pods nor from cheap headsets; said by so many reactors to Home Free songs✌️
Yes!
When you look at their specs, some of those cheap speakers/phones aren't capable of tones as low as Tim can sing!
No doubt, because I served 5 years with the French Marines, 3e RIM, I be especially fond of this product of theirs.
It doesn't get any better than this!
Tims bass is insane but he does have a 5 octive range Chances voice is soo smooth i luv it!
Great Reaction, Love Home Free ❤
♥️💃🇺🇲
When Chance says you did not desert me my Brothers in Arms 😢
Thanks for this one....it's just hauntingly beautiful!
It really is!
There are videos that you can see where Tim sings so low that he actually breaks the speakers...
Stairways of sound. Perfect! 😊
The guys did a great job with the song. As others have said, very Haunting. Thank you .
Chills and tears everytime. ❤
I believe Chance arranged this one as well as Helplessly Hoping. He's got skills
Absolutely beautifully done.
the best cover EVER!
Another masterpiece.
These guys are perfect. I love the other groups,but these guys can do anything. Just the harmonies. Absolutely perfect every song that they do.
😊😊 those harmonies Ginger! Best song to hear those! Fantastic reaction and can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you!! 😁
I actually quite enjoy seeing and hearing what everyone else feels about this song because it always differs so much from my own.
It's an emotional song... I know that logically I should feel something more. But it just makes me relax so much, I can't. But that's just Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler in general. It's my dad's fault I've been a fan my entire life, really, since they were a go to when I was fussy as a baby. Calmed me right down, and at 29 it still does.
How can 5 guys sound like a hundred or a thousand? Plus pipe organ!!!
Reminder - Misty Mountains Tim Hollens feat. Tim Foust
Powerful
Just a quick tip, you can hit the space bar to pause/resume the video. If you hit the back arrow, you can go back 5 seconds, the forward arrow takes you forward 5 seconds. Great reaction and excellent recommendation to wear headphones. It should be a requirement for Home Free. There is so much going on that you could miss a lot without headphones.
Okay, I didn't know those things at all. Lol Thank you so much for this!!! :)
I defy any pipe organ to hit some of those basement notes that Tim made.
Visually, the 3 tenors in the back, when the light from the window spears over each of their shoulders, for a second it looks like a cross to me. And when Tim and Chance are standing in front of the windows and you see the outline of the panes through them, it also looks like crosses....or the crosshairs of a rifle scope.
Ooo, I'll have to go back and look for the crosses!
Tim going low bass is incredible. But when just Harmonies after Chance sings his first part get super strong bass that's Tim and Chance together doing bass to intensify it. Like the bombs going off at war is how I describe that part. And also the very end again they both do bass. Not at same levels Tim being lower then Chance but it just intensifies the sound.. suggestion for you to do. Adam Chance of Home Free featuring Hound and the Fox singing Wayfaring Stranger. You'll get to see Chance singing bass. And it's a great song they sing like folk type songs
I listen on headphones a lot for the bass but my SUV speakers are even better so I sit in vehicle sometimes. 😏
Good reaction ❤️🤠 r😇🔥
Thank you! 🙂
im surprised you didn't react when Tim hit his f1 i believe... but you did as usual did great
Thank Ginger Fry 😊
After your journey continues with Home Free I'm sure others will link you to live performances. Tim's speaking voice is just as low as he sings.
Since you like to support real down to earth people I have another recommendation for you to listen to.
Their cover of Everybody Walking This Land....and make sure not to cut it off at the end.
Can't wait to see them live! I plan on doing your suggestion this week. Thank you 😊
never make war with brothers in arms. to do so is a show of hate which is not beautiful at all.
this should be a warning against bloodshed.
brothers will find a way to understand each other allowing for peace.
there is no greater loss between brothers in arms than fighting amongst themselves...an absolute tragedy.
100%
This is not the Dire Straits version. It was rearranged by Club for Five, and that's the arrangement Home Free used as its foundation.
Thanks, didn't know that
In my honest opinion, this is better than than the original, sorry dire straits.
It's really hard finding reactors that know how to listen and leave the song alone and react after its over! This is a very sad song and is ruined with all the pausing! If you ever react to them singing How Great Thou Art I challenge you to not do anything but just listen to the verses!
No beatboxing on this, not necessary with the five part harmonies.
