78 year old Vietnam vet here. I loved Dire Staits version, but this one is so much more emotional and still makes me cry every time I hear it.
Mad respect to you Frank ☺️
Another 78 year old vet here reacts in the same exact way!!! USN '66-'70.
Home Free is actually 1 of 4 Elite A Capella groups in the world today. The other 3 are Voctave, Voice Play, and Pentatonix. Pentatonix is the reason there is now A Capella in the mainstream music world today. They are the ones who broke through that wall. It was on the American broadcasting network NBC, who had a singing competition named the “Sing off” is where they began in 2011. Home Free competed on the same show 2 years later
This song was inspired by the Falklands War, which was going on when Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler wrote the song. The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and the UK over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claimed rights to. The islands are British territories, but in 1982 Argentina tried to reclaim one of the islands. Britain reclaimed their territories, but lost 258 soldiers in the conflict.
In this song, Mark Knopfler sings about a soldier who is dying on the battlefield, surrounded by his comrades, who remain by his side as he slips away. It's a look at the folly of war and the plight of those who fight them. "We've got just one world but we live in different ones," he told the BBC. "It's just stupid, it really is. We're just foolish to take part in anybody's war."
Thank yoi for sharing that information
This is song by your mates, Dire Straights. It's a British song. Home Free did it justice.
Appreciate the recommendation
Of all the accapella bands ive heard, home frees my favorite for two reasons. Infind their blend of harmoney unparalelled, and they are down to earth guys.
Fully agree with this
This arrangement was actually written and first performed by Club for Five, a Finnish acapella group. Tim Faust got permission to use it, and Home Free added the echo effect - as well as their magnificent voices.As always, they showed great respect for the source material. I like that you can easily make out all the lyrics, which I cannot say of Dire Straits' original. Of course, this video was done in the USA for our Veterans Day (Remembrance Day to Brits and Canadians), but it really applies to any men or women who reluctantly go to war.
Thank you for sharing
This is 1985 Dire Straights song about a dying soldier talking to his fellow soldiers during the 1982 Falklands War. This was released for the Veterans Day holiday in 2021. Home free does all kinds of songs from serious, upbeat, inspirational,Christmas, & comudic. You have just begun your journey with Home Free they have around 200 videos for you to explore. A couple recommendations you might enjoy LISTEN TO THE MUSIC a fantastic cover of the Doobie Brothers monster hit. The beatboxer is insane in this one. another is their cover of SOME GIRLS DO. Thank for great reaction and you gentle men have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing that information, it is incredibly helpful and also the kind words
Check out Home Free's "Helplessly Hoping" for a master class in 5-part harmony ... simply stunning !
Thank you for the recommendation
One of their most beautiful and heart wrenching songs they've done. You were right. Adam makes sound of wind and either birds or a whistle occasionally during the song and sings with the harmonies the rest of the song. Thanks for the Home Free reactions.
Is there a sound of the flag flapping as well? If so, he would have made that sound too.
Very beautiful but subtle touch to the audio on that. Loved this track
@@wolfe6220yes and the wind whipping in the wind at the very end, which is so poignant but they were talking over it 🙄
This is very solemn and respectful.
The dying soldier's words were honored in the song.
Beautifully said
A couple of their covers that don't get enough coverage that are feel good songs that I really enjoy are " Love Train" and " Listen to the Music ".
Thank you for the recommendation
This song was originally written for the Falklands war so it should hit a special spot for you lot.
Thank you for sharing that information
@@highlyreactivereactions Written by Mark Knopfler, who is from Glasgow, so interesting to hear all the comments during the video about it being an American song
The song has lost nothing of its topicality, on the contrary, the message is more current than ever. It is very emotional. The guys from Home Free did a fantastic job. Tim and Chance's voices are just phenomenal!
Loved it so much. Such a beautiful piece
Yes, Home Free has a phenomenal range. This one is a masterpiece of harmonics and deceptively simple videography. You'd like to hear Tim do "Sound of Silence" -- so he did just that, in collaboration with Peter Hollens (on Peter's channel). It's my favorite cover of the iconic song, ever (and I was there for the original). Another Home Free masterpiece of musicality is "Helplessly Hoping". Give them a listen, and believe the diversity possible from these guys. Thank you for the respect you have for true talent and beauty.
Yeah we really need to hear that one
Another Hollens/Foust collab was "Misty Mountain" inspired by Tolkien's The Hobbit. Definitely worth a see.
They’ve done it look on their list
This is such a hauntingly beautiful version of this song.
Tim did a collaboration with Peter Hollens Sound Of Silence it’s on Peter’s page
Thats awesome we will have to check it out
@@highlyreactivereactions Please do it’s amazing 😊
Check out Tim doing "The Sound of Silence" with Peter Hollens! It's an amazing a cappella cover.
We need to hear that!
@@highlyreactivereactions Tim has collaborated with Peter Hollens on several songs and they are all fantastic
As a fellow vet from Denmark, this rendition gives me the chills...
Mad respect to you
I'm the very proud sister of a fine (Canadian) U.S. Marine, KIA age 19, & my only brother, who was also awarded a honour medal... This was all a very long time ago, but I am still devastated ... I think now that at least he will not grow old, but in all our memories will always & forever be young & perfect & beautiful... 😭
We are so sorry for your loss Susan. Mad respect to you and your family ❤️
Butts melody if you want good old fun. Brother is another fun one with a good message and the boys clowning around. Serious... in the blood. If you want Master class harmony... helplessly hoping. Also, since the season is coming, check out their Christmas 🎄 songs
Appreciate the recommendations 😊
Depending on life experience, some reactors lose it with this song.
“In the Blood” is another deep one. Home Free rendition of a John Mayer song. Tim leads off, shared with Chance and Rob.
For a silly, battle themed Home Free video, check “Brothers”.
Thank you for sharing.
Yes! In the Blood, like Brothers in Arms, is astonishingly beautiful.
Thank you for supporting to the channel
Tim Faust, the deep voice has done a cover of the Sound of Silence with Peter Hollens. Those two have paired up for several songs including Misty Mountains from the Hobbit. Great low notes and deep voices in that one. I am a Home Fry and have subbed to watch your reactions to Home Free and their solo & collaboration work.
We need to check that our
They give all of us chills listening to this song. I think you would enjoy "listen to the music" "mayday" or "unchained melody" just for starters. This is a long road your traveling but well worth the ride! 🤙
We will have to check them out. Thank you for your recommendation
This is so beautiful, but then all of Home Free's songs are! You mentioned Sound of silence and you are new to Acapella groups so i STRONGLY suggest you react to sound of silence by Pentatonix - you will be blown away!
Appreciate that recommendation
Home Free is very patriotic! I would suggest Land of the Free, an original by Tim.
Appreciate that recommendation 😊
One of their 5-part harmony master classes. So hauntingly beautiful. They can make you cry. They can make you laugh. They will always brighten your day. I suggest The Driver or I Can't Outrun You. Or one of their recent originals, Playing With Fire. Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you for the recommendation
For a poignant war/military themed song that doesn't get played enough, try their cover of Traveling Soldier. Bring tissues.
Thank you for that recommendation
Joined for your Home Free journey. 2 recommends. 1 be aware that for sometime through the journey you will surprised that you can’t pin them down to one genre and 2. For your pleasure DO NOT watch Mayday until you have a sense of each member’s role in the group and how they sing. Happy trails
Appreciate the recommendation and advice
Great reaction Funny you should mention Tim would sound great doing Sound of Silence Check out Peter Hollens ft Tim Foust You are in for a treat
Thats awesome 😊 we need to listen to that
Home Free, Pentatonix, Voice Play, and Voctave (just to mention 4) are incredible. "Best" is very subjective. My opinion is that it's a tie between a bunch of insanely talented artists. I have 'joked' that the BEST group is the one I'm listening to at the moment. This particular song is one of Home Free's best and most mesmerizing (my opinion). You have an opportunity to explore a DEEP rabbit hole with a cappella! You will gain a LOT of support from the multitude of a cappella enthusiasts. Thank you both for your service! Best of luck!
We will have to check those other groups out in good time. Really loving Home Free. Appreciate your comment
I concur, thank you for your service and Home Free is the best
Go Rest High On That Mountain is super emotional too♥️
Thank you for the recommendation
You should listen to In The Blood and Helplessly Hoping. Their version of End of the Road is also excellent.
Thank you for the recommendations
If you’d like to watch another military-related video, try « Go Rest High on That Mountain. » Instead of just the band performing, it incorporates a story.
Thank you for the recommendation
Tim and Peter Hollen pair for a beautiful "Sound of Silence."
Need to see that
"Helplessly Hoping" will astonish you completely with it's harmonies.
Thank you for that recommendation
Great reaction, gentlemen. This song was actually written by Mark Knopfler, from Dire Straights. It was about fallen soldiers from The Falklands War. Such a hauntingly beautiful song, so glad you reacted to it! You gentleman do a great job, thanks!
Thank you for the kind words and information
Home Free will take you from tears of laughter, to tears of sadness, with every bumpy emotional feeling in between!
Pentatonics is a good second, voice play perhaps third, but Home Free is the gold standard.
They are amazing and we will have to try the other Acapella bands in good time 😊
Beautiful song by #homefree and thank you lads for your years of service 👏
Appreciate you Nutz
I suggest- for a Chance lead “ I Can’t Outrun You “- 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful, and Chance directed the video. “End of the Road “- Gospel Rob has the first lead, Austin the second. “Champagne Taste (on a beer budget)”- written by Tim. It’s fun and hilarious. Of course, there are many more great songs. I did see “Brother “ suggested- the harmonies are fantastic, and the video itself is straight fun.
Thank you for the recommendation
My 2 top favorites from Home Free are "When A Man Loves A Woman", and "The End Of The Road", both are absolutely sublime!!!
Thank you for the recommendations ☺️
"Catch me if you can" is one of their originals (They have a few) and "Listen to the music" is one that highlights their talents. Would love to see you react to those two.
Thank you for the recommendation 😊
Tim’s breathy bass evokes the fading spirit of a soldier dying on the battlefield. The silhouettes against the window light are deliberately ghostly, a spirit leaving this earth. Also, they mimic closely the image on the POW-MIA Remembrance flags we fly here in honor of our captured and missing military personnel, the flag shows the side silhouette of a soldier with bowed head. Home Free has a wonderful respect for military personnel and patriotic themes feature greatly in their music.
Thank you for the sharing
I want to thank you both for your service to your country. It is people like yourselves that make life easier for the rest of us. So, a very heartfelt thank you from the wilds of western Pennsylvania!
Tim DID do Sound of Silence with Peter Hollens. You should check it out. Tim and Peter did a bunch of duets.
HF has successfully done everything from this to their Butts medley. they have so much singing talent and they have fanatic arranging masters.
Loving the HF journey so far
Not in your head... that was Adam Rupp with the wind sound. Awesome reaction! Thanks, guys!!
Love that!
I think he also did a faint eagle cry.
I understand brother! Vietnam was a long time ago, until I heard this song and it all came flooding back. We are brothers in arms with a special bond. Thank you
I head
Mad respect to you
Your reactions were spot on, really enjoyed them❤
A couple of my fave sings are "Cover Me Up"-Chance sings lead; "Catch Me If You Can"-Rob sings lead; and "Brother"-Chance sings lead.
Thank you for the kind words and recommendation
Always puts me in tears of love & appreciation for the bravest of the brave!😔🙏🏻🇺🇸
Couldn't agree more
Check out Rob's lead in "End of the road"
Thank you for the recommendation
I love and live for Adam Rupp and his beatboxing but on the few songs where he sings and they have that beautiful 5 part harmony it touches my heart!!❤
Gotta love it
Hey brothers, thanks for your service, as has been said a dire straits song which was a rock style song, but home free was given permission to use the arrangement from another a cappella group named club for five. Home Free with out a doubt put their stamp on this one and their harmonies at unmatched! Thanks again guys! Low bass Kenneth
Thank you for the kind words and they defintely smashed this one 😊
"Brothers in arms" is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard, either in the original Dire Straits' version or in this Home Free's rendition. ❤
And I believe it's also one of the most beautiful and powerful songs from Home Free. 🙂
A cappella music can have many different faces and nuances. There are groups that prefer deeply emotional songs, others that are all about fun and cartoons, others that are kinda "classical" and others that are more modern... And then there are groups lie Home Free, or Voiceplay (the two groups are friends, BTW), or The Bass Gang, that can take pretty much EVERY song and make it their own... In very different ways, and each one in its style. This is why I don't like to compare groups: they're just all GREAT, each one of its particular kind of greatness. 🙂
Home Free is one of those groups with whom you just can't fail: pick any song from their catalogue, and it will be remarkably good. 🙂
The same could be said for other groups, it all depends on your taste. 🙂
As said, I prefer not to compare and enjoy all of those groups for what they bring to the table. They're all so much better than I would achieve in 7 lives. I love all of them... Although I listen to some more than others, because of my particular taste. But one can appreciate skills and talent and dedication wherever he meets it, can't he? 🙂
I enjoyed your reaction. And I'd like to see you watch the original version by Dire Straits. 🙂
See you next time|
Thank you for the comment with great information 😊 more Home Free certainly coming
He said some thing about Tim doing the sounds of silence. He has recorded the sounds of silence as a duet with Peter Holland and it’s beautiful.
We will check that out
The arrangement of this Dire Straits song was first done by Finnish acappella group Club For Five.
Home Free used it with permission.
In my opinion, the Club for Five bass, Tuukka Haapaniemi, is at least the equal of the recent US acappella bassists; Tim Foust, Matt Sallee, Avi Kaplan, & Geoff Castellucci.
Thank you for sharing
@@highlyreactivereactions just found you guys with Home Free. But like your vibe. Subbed.
This song pays tribute to all services who have or will be in conflicts. My husband served with the Scots guards in the Falklands and was shot the day of the ceasefire. He has suffered PTSD since then and got little help from anyone. There needs to be more support for all serving soldiers, sailors and airforce and all who serve. Thank you to all who have served 🙏🏻🏴
Mad respect to you and your husband AnnMarie. Its a beautiful track
@@highlyreactivereactions thank you so much I’m new to your channel and love your reaction.
One of my favorites of theirs. This was originally done by Dire Straits about the Falklands War in the 80’s. You heard a little bit of wind (probably Adam the beatboxer doing it). You just didn’t wind it far enough back. Also it was at the end. Yep, all the boys can sing and they all take the lead depending on the song. If you need a laugh now, try Brother. It’s also about brotherhood but funny. Home Free never disappoints. They can make you laugh or cry. Good one boys and I subscribed!🥰
Thank you for your support and sharing 😊
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. 😥 #homefree
I think they do justice to the originals and defintely show their respect
Tim has performed Sound of Silence in collab with Peter Hollens. It is amazing!
Need to see that!
Thank you for your service, gentlemen. Try "God Bless the USA" with the air force singers or Go Rest High on That Mountain for more of the military love from them.
Thank you for the kind words and recommendation
This version of Brothers in Arms is actually a cover of a cover. The original was of course done by Dire Straits... then this five part harmony version was firs performed by a Finnish
A Capella group, Club for Five. Their bass Tuukka is one of the best bassist in the world. Tim asked Tuukka if HF could use their arrangement. Tuukka sent it to Tim. Tim added the "echo" sequence, and Tuukka could not praise it enough.
They take their respect for veterans very seriously! Lots of patriotic songs and even benefits for veterans.
We respect that
Home Free just came out with a remake of "Life is a Highway". You will crack up watching it 🤣
Haha we did actually check that one out 😊
This is my personal favorite by them. It's just gorgeous. Haunting and so moving. Hone Free is a very talented group. The best out there.
We did love this one
Home Free is my favorite. Another a capella group you might want to check out is Pentatonix.
Thank you for the recommendation
Tim does "Sound of Silence" with Peter Hollen. Tim also has a couple on his own..."Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" and "Come Go With Me". It looks like Arizona.
We need to check it out
It brings me to tears every time I hear it. Thank you so much for this reaction.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support 😊
Excellent reaction! This is a HF masterpiece. In the YT blurb/ description, HF wrote that they sang it in reflection of divisions within the US. "We're fools to make war with our brothers in arms," be it another country or our next-door neighbor.
Thank you for the kind words. This was amazing!
Great reaction to a very moving song. Another song with 5 part harmonies and no beat-boxing by Home Free is Helplessly Hoping. Some upbeat, fun songs are Remember My Name (Home Free original), Might as Be Me (original), Some Girls Do, and Down to the Honkytonk! See you in the next reaction!
Appreciate your kind words 😊
Home Free, are excellent. So blessed are we to have them sing. The other group you may have been thinking of is Pentetonix.. personally although I heard them first, I prefer the voices of Home Free.
We will have to check them out 😊
Masterpiece from the boys! Ty for ur service
Thank you
Tim has done SoS with Peter Hollins. Also, since Tim amazed you in this so much take a go at Home Free doing Mayday and let him completely blow your socks off along with Chance.
Appreciate the recommendations
❤❤❤ great 👍 reaction
Thank you so much 😊
This is a powerful song from Home Free and you get to really hear Tim and Chance voice and the harmony the other guys it's just amazing. Thanks for your reaction guys awesome to see it's not just me that get goosebump's hugs from a FRIES in Norway🫂🫂🫂🫂
It was a beautiful track. Thank you Jane
@@highlyreactivereactions 💖💖🫂🫂
Voiceplay are also amazing, but they have a different overall vibe. They are known as the theater kids of accapella. They sometimes go all out with the makeup and costuming. The Bass Gang are a newer group that are gaining popularity. If you're feeling adventurous, give them a try sometime.
Thank you for the recommendations
You can try Hooked on a feeling with Bass Gang and Tim Foust from Home Free
This was written by Mark Knoefler of Dire Straits and came out in the ‘80’s. Couldn’t locate where it was filmed. Their backdrops are always excellent and fit the song.
Gotta love it
I told you you were in for a real ride with Home Free. Their range runs the gamut, from the hokey to the holy. For the holidays, you'll have a beautiful set of masterpieces to do: their Auld Lang Syne is another 5-part harmony stunner; O Holy Night is epic. Do You Hear What I Hear, arranged by the beatboxer Adam Rupp, is ... well, indescribable ... calypso, and wild. Children, Go Where I Send Thee, a collab with Kenny Rogers, and Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, a collab with the Oak Ridge Boys, are old country gospel. And there are many other Christmas songs.
You called it and we are really enjoying the journey
Beautiful reaction, guys. I could feel the emotions coming off of Stan. Beautiful ❤
Haha yeah this one got through abit on its passion. Thank you for kind words Tina
I don't know for certain but I believe the cemetery scenery may have been done out by Twenty-nine Palms. As a Southern Californian, this is what struck me the first time I watched it. Very indicative of the scenery out there. Wish I knew for sure.
Yeah, that tree looks like a Joshua tree, so I thought it was done in that area -- one of my favorite places in the world. I've also asked in comments where this was filmed but haven't received any replies.
@@tygerbrite I've asked a few times as well and have not received a response but that Joshua Tree is pretty iconic. If not Twenty-nine Palms, could be up by Ft. Irwin as well. Someone knows and isn't talking, lol 😄
I actually did a search, because I remember on Huell Howser's old PBS series he visited some memorial area out in the desert like that, but I still never did find it.
@@glowormrdr6183 Awwww! Huell was the best, wasn't he? Such a great ambassador for California. I loved watching his shows ❤ RIP Huell 💕
Ahh that might be why it looks a little familiar as I have been to alot of that area and around it
Great reaction! Thank for your service for your country. This cover by Home Free is hauntingly beautiful. They are so talented. They do alot of patriotic songs, songs about country and life and humanity. Land of the free, Only in America, Everybody walking this land( if you react to this play all the way through to hear the message from Tim at the end), Undivided. Just to name a few. They could sing the phone book and make it sound incredible! Thank you for your reaction! And have a great day!#HomeFree
Thank you for your kind words and recommendations
I second the recommendation on Everybody Walking This Land as another serious one. Not patriotic per se, but a timely song with a damn good message. And yeah, listen to Tim's message at the end. Loving your reactions.
GREAT REACTION GUYS!
You’re correct! Home Free never disappoints.
I’d love to see you guys react to these Home Free songs:
FOLSOM PRISON BLUES originally perf. by Johnny Cash
WHEN I MAN LOVES A WOMAN originally perf. by Percy Sledge
END OF THE ROAD originally perf. by Boys II Men.
Thank you for the kind words and recommendations
Funny you mentioned the Sound of Silence. Tim sings that sone with Peter Hollens. This is a cover of a Dire Straight song that they wrote in the 80s because of the Faulklands War.
He's got the voice where it would suit it
New sub here! This is one of my favorites from Home Free! If you want to see some more serious and beautiful videos from Home Free, here’s a short list:
Helplessly Hoping
Cover Me Up
Colder Weather
The Stargazer Lilies trilogy (in order.1. Give Me A Sign 2. Stargazer Lillies 3. MR)
Loved your reaction to this one! The first time I heard the audio only, I got a little shook when Tim started singing. I’m very familiar with his low bass notes, but starting out right away caught me off guard. lol Their cover here is hauntingly beautiful!!
Thank you for your subscription and recommendations
Thank you for a beautiful reaction to a beautiful song. This s why we Home Fry’s love our boys! ❤️
Thank you for the kind words 😊
Tim did a duet with Peter Hollens of the "Sound of Silence". This arrangement was done by "Club for Five", a Swedish (I think) quintet that allowed HF to use.
We need to hear that one
The "AH" sections are to me, a living Pipe Organ. Any time Adam Rupp is lined up to sing, and not beatbox... you KNOW the harmonies are going to be even more outstanding.
Amazing ☺️ thank you for your comments and sharing
I'm from the United States. We love the British people.❤❤
Mad respect to you 😊
About Adam Rupp's hair: He grows it long, then has it cut and donated to a non-profit org, that makes wigs for people who have lost their hair due to traumatic illness.
Thats beautiful that is
You should really try DONT LAUGH AT ME ! October is Anti bullying day
Also try ONE VOICE ! They did this one for Mental Health Awareness!
Thank you for your reaction, and a bigger thank you for your service guys !
Thank you for the recommendation 😊
Thank You for your service both of you....I salute you!! My Husband,God Rest His Soul, was in the Army during Vietnam and was a double recipient of the Purple Heart and had a very hard time ime accepting them. In His eyes everyone in combat deserves one. 💜 RIP honey ❣️
Sorry for your loss Mary and mad respect to your husband
You may want to check out "Helplessly Hoping", "So Long Dixie, or "In the Blood" for a more serious emotion. For funny or upbeat you might like "The Butts Medley", "Let the Music Play", "Country Fried Pop with a guest appearance at the end by THE ROOSTER". Closer to Christmas they have some killer songs like "Do You Hear What I Hear' that will blow you away as well a collaboration with Kenny Rogers on a Christmas Gospel song that will have your hands clapping and your toes tappin' "Children Go Where I Send Thee" and many more seasonal favorites, some including a former member and founder of the group Chris Rupp (Adam Rupp,the beat boxer's brother), who retired and found Chance to take his place. They cover every genre from Opera to Blue Grass. have fun discovering the gems you will fins around every corner of the Home Free rabbit hole. 😊
Thank you so much for the recommendations and the support. We are looking forward to more Home Free
There are three premier a cappella quintet groups out there, each has their "signiture" styles, but are capable of covering a mulititude of genres with surprizing style and competence. Pentatonix (PNTX) has a clean-cut vibe. They're the group you'll bring home to meet Mom and Dad. VoicePlay has a very theatrical style. They cover Broadway and movie soundtracks. They'd kill it at a screening of "Rocky Horror Picture Show"! Home Free is unique as a CW vocal band. They're the group likely to be holding a tailgate party. As you can see here, though, they can cover other genres.
Next you need to check out some of Home Free's collaborations: American Pie with Don McLean, Children Go Where I Send Thee with Kenny Rogers, One Voice with Billy Gilman and Don't Laugh at Me.
Thank you for the recommendations
Here for you.😉
Mad love Dawn ❤️
as a retired cavlary SSG this song hits me hard and ive heard it many many times love your reaction just subscribed and will always support fellow vets ALLONS my Brothers in Arms
Mad respect to you
The blowing wind sound definitely wasn’t in your head (9:25), you just didn’t go back quite enough to hear it the second time around. So glad you noticed that little detail in the midst of the more obvious stuff-those tiny nuances are part of what makes HF great to me.
Haha thanks for clearing that one up 😂
First of all, thank you for your service to your country. Their rendition of this song is hauntingly beautiful and sad. The singing & harmonies are gorgeous and the scenario of the video befits the solemnity of the song. By the way Tim, Austin & a consortium of other singer/song writer/musicians do fund raising for at-risk veterans (excerpts are available on y/t). Love from a Canadian subscriber.
Appreciate you so much 😊
Hi guys. You two won my heart over as a new subscriber! Yes, I'm an old Home Fry. Try some of their "funnier" stuff, like The Butts Remix, Hillbilly Bone, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget or Brother. Hilarious! If you want one to just jam out to, I love their version of Listen to the Music. Peace from Kentucky.
Thank you for your subscription and recommendations 😊
This is a cover of an arrangement by a Finnish group called Club for Five, done with their permission. Mark Knopfler wrote it and it was really amazing to hear his guitar work on it.
Beautiful song. Will need to hear the original
Although there are some great a capella groups such as Straight No Chaser, Voctave, etc, there are 3 that are most popular. Pentatonix is like the high school government of the bunch! With 4 Grammy nominations & 3 wins, they've really set a capella up in the popular music world. And they're the king of Christmas groups, so there will be a lot of fan videos from their annual holiday concerts starting this month! Then you have Home Free, the good ol' boys of the a capella high school! They can make you cry one minute & have you rolling on the floor laughing the next! The Drama Dept of the a capella high school is Voice Play! Amazing vocals and always in character! In the last 3 years especially they have put out some award quality videos! They don't tour as much as PTX and HF & often add a featured guest or two to top things off. Vocative are basically the high school concert choir. Amazing! But with anywhere from 12 - 18 people. They're part of the great Liberty Singers at Disney World, but occasionally this small group of them put out a video and they're fantastic! And they have a high soprano that cannot be beat!
All of these groups are staffed with some of the most amazing talents in the musical world! (Someone just needs to add Dan Vasc to their group! 😉) And many of them have been a guest in other groups' videos. Some have had member changes, but most who have left still maintain connections with their groups & have solo channels of their own. They truly portray a family feeling between them. You can't go wrong reacting to ANY of them! ❤
Thank you for sharing that information and those recommendations 😊
Another somewhat serious cover they do is *In The Blood*
Thank you for the recommendation
Tim and Peter Hollins have released The Sound Of Silence. It is filmed as a homage to the original Simon and Garfunkel cover.
Need to see that 😊
Other emotional ones 'Go Rest Hight on That Mountain' and 'How Great Thou Art'
