@@HomeFreeGuys: song request: Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton.
I'm an old Nam vet (Is there any other kind?) and have lived too many Christmastimes away from home. Thought I was immune to the emotion by now but when I saw this this I just broke down and cried. Not for us lucky ones who made it but for the women, men and famioy members of our armed forces who will never have another Christman together.
Gentlemen of Home Free - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Another outstnding performance and video. You kept the focus on the soldiers and their families rather than home Free.
Thank you, Sir. Be Blessed.
My, my Chris you DO get around now. Soldier AND Sailor!! Amazing - thanks for keeping us safe during all of your tours. (What I meant was the only kind of Nam vet is OLD!)
God Bless you for your service.....ALWAYS GRATEFUL!!
My husband was an old Nam vet, too. I just lost him two weeks ago. God Bless you!
thank you shorty for your service and sacrifices. God bless you.
I'm 73 and I've never enjoyed listening to anyone as much as I do the home free singers.
I'm 73 also and totally agree with you.
@@daanmi148 Well I'm just a kid at 71 but you folks got it right in 1 try!!
They are very good.
I am not a veteran, but a first responder. There have been a few times that I could not be home for Christmas. Beautiful version of this song, with beautiful outstanding harmony!! Thank you Home Free!!
Same here as nurse who has worked double shifts almost every christmas eve & Christmas day.
I’m a pacifist and don’t celebrate Christmas but I watched, liked, saved, and cried thru this entire song. Welcome home all. Twice.
Grown man, and soldier here and every time I see a soldier come home like that I tear up. It is truly a good feeling to see my brothers and sisters in arms coming home safely. Merry Christmas (or whatever you do for the season) to everyone out there.
From a young woman who has many vets and active duty influences in her life, thank you for your service and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your service sir and Merry Christmas too!
+K Hetrick I'm too late to say Merry Christmas. But thankyou for your service.
Thank you so much for your service!! Many blessings to you!!
K Hetrick me to I started to cry
This is the first version I have heard of this in years that stays true to the meaning of the song. It wasn't sped up, it wasn't overdone.
This song is about a WWII soldier in the trenches writing home and this video about soldiers coming home..... A+
I love this! Great job
So many people do not know the real meaning of this song. kudos to you for reminding all of us.
John Dunn that's really why this song was written???? Wow made it so much better!
Rascall Flatts did the same version years ago.
Perfect
I absolutely love it! 22 years a Sailor. Makes me "tear up". Somehow, I always got home between May, and August. Christmas was a distant memory for the kids. Tough.
just pinkt a tear away because I lost my grandma last may and it hurts my heart that she wont be with is us this Christmas ty for this awsome song I wish you a verry merry Christmas to yall guys ;-)
The song that my grandmother really likes, I wish I could listen to this song again with my grandmother.
As a veteran myself, I love these pictures of homecomings. To have your arrangement of this song supporting it just made me tear up even more. You guys are AWESOME! I thoroughly enjoyed your concert in Nashville last night as well!
As a military wife, I just sobbed all the way through this, I am so proud of all who serve their countries, we should all be proud and thankful they do this to take care of us all. Lovely tribute Home Free love ya all x
Thanks guys, I’ve spent so many Christmas s away from home being deployed, I’ve always tried to connect myself to my family being so far away, I’ve made a few Charlie Brown Christmas trees in my day and mounted them on my Hummer. Thanks again.
I still remember my father returning and surprising us. This hits home so much!! Beautiful rendition! LOVE!!!
+Tonjia L Oh yay! Glad ya like the video
Home Fries, Merry Christmas!!!
This brought tears to my eyes. You nailed this song. Love you guys.
+avalongirly thanks :-)
2:36 I dont know if that was.... possible.... I swear, you guys invented Tight Harmony, and are just showing off now! Flawless. Truly. Perfect arrangement.
*HEAVY BREATHING* This right here is just love. The real Christmas Spirit shown in 4.03 by Home Free
As a veteran, I have to say a heart felt thank you. This arrangement and video is fantastic. You guys keep getting better and better. You made this tough old man cry.
Currently sat in my lounge in floods of tears, mixture of happy and sad..😭 This is probably the best version of this song i've ever heard and comes on a day when I'm missing those folks back in the States a lot (I love my life here in the UK but lately as I plan my wedding I am beginning to miss those who I've lost along the way and my family/friends who aren't going to be able to attend due to the logistics of it all, more and more each day)
someone please pass the tissues...❤️
Love everything about this. Love to all the men and women who can't be home for Christmas! Thanks Home Free for including them in this video 🎅🏻
Glad ya like it!
Home Free
as a veteran I just want to thank you guys for supporting our troops in such a beautiful way
"I'll be home for Christmas is my favourite song. (only in my dreams). I have lost both my mother (at age 20) and my father 4 years ago. It brings them closer to me. Thank you for the singing this song. Loving it, but crying, too.
JoAnna Evola mine to. It was my Mom's favorite Christmas song. She would have absolutely loved Home Free.
Yup. Watched it again and made myself cry. Darnit!
Forwarded this one to troops still serving far away from home and they told me to tell you that 1) It's beautiful, 2) It made them very happy and 3) when they get back from tour of duty they will definitely come see you in concert. Thank you very much for all of them. And I think I'm going to have to buy shares of stocks in Kleenix now, but that's fine.
You guys are so freaking awesome! I'm not a crier but seeing our military coming home gets me every time. It will never get old. I'm sitting here tears flowing! Loved the video!
Any number of things you could have done with this song and you choose to honour the military with it. So simple yet so very effective.
And dusty. Makes the room very very dusty.
Well done.
+Lanky Nathan oh no, did the dust get in your eyes? :-P
Maybe a mite or two...
Don't worry, you aren't the only one. I swear I scoured the house just yesterday...
This song was originally written to honor our military who couldn't make it home for Christmas. This video is so awesome.
@@risabug7772 Yes.
I sat here crying through the whole thing! this is such a heartfelt and moving rendition of I'll Be Home For Christmas. So like you guys to dedicate this to our military who give so much for us. And if Rob's voice during this song doesn't give u the chills or choke you up, then u better check your pulse.
The joy you all made us feel watching this video is just amazing. The soldiers' return home made me cry; but they were happy tears with your amazing voices behind it. Happy Holidays to all of you and your families!!
My husband first "discovered" you and now I'm hooked. You guys are great. Doesn't hurt that you are from my hometown. ♡
I love this one best of all. It always reminds me of the deceased brother. When he was in the air force - he always told my Mom this. Your blend of voices is beyond incredible. Keep it up - you five are remarkable as a group.
Best version of this song i've heard! Great Job Guys!
Merry Christmas guys. Hope you have an amazing, blessed day with all your loved ones around you.
God bless you all
Beautiful!! Bless the U.S. military!! Thanks so much for making patriotic songs!! U.S.A.!!!!!!
Mr.Lundquist truly does have the voice of an angel.
Beautiful! This song, and the picture in my mind of my mom and dad having breakfast in a little café in Texas in 1944, right after his Christmas leave was denied... holding hands, tears running down their cheeks, with Bing Crosby singing this in the background.
I love this! My dad and son are vets. I remember when they came home. I was so full of pride. When my son was in Iraq I learned how to live but not breathe for over a year. I am so proud and grateful to all of our soldiers. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU
Every time I see these military home comings, it makes me tear up. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and kinda makes me feel a bit home sick. I loved this, though! Merry Christmas, Home Free!
+Carrie Karich Thank you, Carrie!
+Carrie Karich I'm right there with you. Supposed to be this tough guy but I tear up watching military home comings. GOD BLESS ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR ARMED SERVICES. MAY GOD KEEP YOU SAFE AND BRING YOU HOME WHERE YOU BELONG! Merry Christmas everyone!
I'd love to be "Home" for Christmas. I'm originally from Minnesota and have been living in Florida for 30 years now and miss my family so much this time of year. Hearing y'all sing and see the places you sing bring such bittersweet memories. Keep it up, you are fantastic.
I truly hope you do get to go home for Christmas because one day they might not be there I know I am there and it is sad...... Hope you do get home and have a great wonderful Christmas with your family.......
Fantastic version !!! Just right !!! Standing ovation is due here !!!
This really touched my heart guys. Beautiful harmony that reminded me of my dog. He'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams
Thank you!! No words can say how touching this is!! I'm part of a military family and this means a lot!! It's very touching.
So beautiful and melancholy. With my boys 2,000 miles away this one hits hard, let alone the surprise vets coming home. Well done, and next time pass out the tissues ahead of time.
All I can say is WOW and had me in tears. So heartfelt! I truly love you guys and all you do.
I'm a Proud Army mom ... loved this so much.. Bawling as I watch ...
You gentlemen have such an amazing gifting! Brought tears to this grandma's eyes! Thank you for the warmth you brought to my heart!
Thank ya kindly
When my son was enlisted in the Air Force, he was away for Chritmas and this song would play over the radio when my soul needed it. He is home, safe, now and now Home Free's song brought it back and I am feeling happy. My family is all home for CHristmas this year. My parents are 88, and all of my siblings wwill be together for Thanksgiving!
I cried all the way through this song. Homefree always pulls at my heartstrings. I have been separated from my 2 children and 7 grandchildren for over 10 yrs. It breaks my heart! I pray to God that all hurts can be put behind us and we can be reunited once again!
Beautiful Video....May God Bless Our Troops. Merry Christmas Guys
Wonderful video! As an Army Mom, I had a surprise like the ones in the video. My Soldier Son surprised me coming home for Christmas from Iraq. Tears are flowing... Thank you for the wonderful reminder, and the most beautiful music!
Wow, Home Free is one of the most amazing group out there . I just get out how they make the most amazing music . Not just how they blend so seemly . Especially for this song l gave me the chills . It was so beautifully done . Thank you Home Free for all the beautiful both videos and music that y'all do
*you all
@@FarmersAreDummies oh sorry for missing spell
every time I listen to this video I get absolute shivers -- very beautiful and a fitting tribute to the military
This has made my Christmas Day all the sweeter. 2021 was challenging, but this tells us the hope remains for not only life here but that which is beyond our ability to comprehend. Thanks to all the voices, this is blessed.
That song ALWAYS makes me cry. Inserting those soldier surprises ....
Hubby jumped up and across the room wondering if I'm OK.
That was lovely. And Adam got to sing again. :)
Merry Christmas, guys. Thanks for sharing your music.
+MaryEllen505 Aww thanks!
This actually made me tear up... my grandma and I used to listen to this every year. I would wait for her and she was always waiting for my late grandfather... he was a WW 2 vet. No more waiting for her now... thanks for the amazing cover you guys, you definitely did it justice.
Beautiful guys. Merry Christmas & God bless you all. I love you all.
As a lifelong military "brat" and spouse, this made me cry. Thank you for such an amazing rendition and the salute to our heroes. Keep up the fantastic work.
What an Amazing tribute to our men and women soldiers; You humility is not missed by us. Warms the Heart; melting away the coldness of life's struggles....perspective. Thanks, Love you guys!
Love it love it love it, brought tears to my eyes, my husband is active duty navy and homecomings are the best thank you for all your songs!!!
I was always so moved by the video that I didn't fully recognize the exceptional job HF did vocally. Could hear each one clearly, including Adam singing, and the harmony gave chills as usual!
You guys are out of this world...👑
i"m such in awe of this song.......again thanks for sharing it with all of us.......hope it brings many men back home for their families at Christmas.....but too many lost for stupid war!!!
My entire family is military and this just brought back emotional memories of that last year we got to see my brother before he past. He was military and came home and surprised all of us for Christmas. Thank you for the great flash back memories and the amazing vocals on the song. You all are truly gifted.
And we thank your family for their service!
god pleas you Luke Dyer and your family god pleas
I've been thousands of kilometers away from home for what seems like an eternity, pursuing a higher call, and I made it three quarters of the way through the video, up to when that soldier called in his husky, before I broke down. My dog died just b4 I left home, and as Christmas gets closer, now it just really hit me i wont ever go back and see him again. Hang u home free.... I havent cried for that dog in a long time. He saved my life once. Thanks home free for bringing back some wonderful memories. Keep making Georgeous songs like this.
What a beautiful rendition of "I'll Be Home For Christmas"! Your harmonies are perfect, as always. The emotion is evident. What a wonderful tribute to those who serve our country. They are in my Prayers always. Thank you for this great video.
My daughter told me Home Free is going to be at the Iowa State Fair this year! We'll be there!
This is beautiful. I'm crying while watching this with my cousin who just got released from duty. Thank you to all the men and women who served and are serving. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Thank you Home Free for everything that you do. Love you all! 💞
+Gail Rowand thank you, gail!
Hey yall, this is the only band where I'd love to follow yall anywhere any everywhere. Love from Ellerbe, NC.
Hello Barbara. How are you doing?
@@georgematthew8800 Hi George, im doing great. I hope you are. Ive never talked to anyone like this before. Its good to hear from you.
So, now I'm sitting here bawling. Just thinking of all of those young men and women who can't be home with their families makes one think of how fortunate we are to be able to share Christmas with our family. What a wonderful touching and inspiring video, guys. You just keep getting better and better. I can't wait to see you with Kenny Rogers on Monday night on "The Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show." The five of you are what's right with America. God Bless and Merry Christmas. Stay safe.
+Susie L. Thank you, Susie!
What a wonderful song and video! ♥
I am not going to lie...I was crying. This was such a wonderful video!!!!
God bless all of our troops, and God Bless each and every one of the Home Free guys. ♥ ♫♪♫
Lots of love from a huge fan. ♥ ♪♫♪
I'm going through a time where my family can't have my uncle and godfather at home for Christmas. He has been stationed overseas for over five years and we haven't had him home for that either. This video really hits home, thank you! Merry Christmas to all of you!
Woah another Chris Arrangement I am Blessed to hear this Thanks Home Free
Y'all had me in tears! I don't serve, but I wish I could go home for Christmas. This year is hard, because I lost my mother in April and there is nothing more I would give then to go home and see my family for Christmas. Love y'all! xx
this is so amazing. Dad always had overnight duty on the ships and very rarely made home to any holiday let alone Christmas. This song matches so well with troops like my dad and we both appreciate it so much.
This is the most beautiful and heartfelt version of this lovely tune ever!
This song was originally written for our soldiers overseas. This video is perfect.
I absolutely LOVE this! Having the soldiers in the video made me cry! Y'all are fantastic! Hope y'all have a blessed Christmas!
Goosebumps abound! A beautiful tribute to our Service members who may not make it home for the holidays. From the son of a 29 yr veteran, thanks for the tribute!!! The harmony y'all have is truly a blessing! Keep it up!
+Twait Working man Glad you like our video!
To be clear - Tim Foust's bass is what draws me to this band. He adds great 'depth to the powerful dynamic range of this group! '
Yup, did it again, had to watch it and it made me cry. The most beautiful version of this song and also remember when my two boys returned home after being overseas. Its a feeling every military family can understand. No words, just grateful and proud!
Awwwwwww *hugs*
These videos of military homecomings, especially the Christmas ones, just rip my guts out. This one may be the topper. I grew up an Army brat, but none of Daddy's deployments (as they are now known) resulted in this. However, having been a child whose Daddy was sometimes away at Christmas...and wanting him to be home...these get to me more than I can express.
Tears to my eyes! beautiful and heartfelt as always! xo Kristin
I've got a brother in the Military....videos like this are always a tear-jerker!!! Love it, all the same, even in the summer!!
Glad ya like it!
Christmas is always a difficult time for me but your songs bring me joy and make it easier for me to go through December. :)
I hope you all (everyone who is part of the Home Free family) have a wonderful Christmas.
+Bianca Lemos Glad our videos can make ya smile
Hey there home free love the songs fantastic. All the way from Mumbai India. Keep singing.
this video is really describe what I realy wanna do... to be home on Christmas and meet my children and wife, but sadly this year I can't make it due to my job responsibilities in this island... but thank God we still can make a call and sharing pictures and glad that they're safe, healthy and missing me much as I miss them, tear down to see this video I mean in a good way to show how to send this song's message.. Thank You
This brought me to tears! Both my brothers are in the Army, so videos such as this hit home. great job guys!
AWESOME! Made me cry. Thank you to all the men and women who are serving America. God bless you! Merry Christmas! I'm an American living in Sweden
Glad ya like the video!
I love this song. The video is great. My husband was in the AF for 20 yrs. He almost missed Christmas coming in in the early a.m. Christmas day.
I was so happy to watch this one again. Too many singers seem to have forgotten that this song was written during the war (WWII, I think). It means so much that you made it about the military again. Thank you.
Voice of an angel and so much more, what a wonderful version and a fine tribute to our men and women who sacrifice their lives to keep us safe. Thank you!! I pray for our soldiers safety and that they all come home soon. Thank you Home Free for the grace, humility and love that you show in this video...may we all show those same qualities daily.
+Susan Pedrick aww thanks!!
I need these guys for my mums birthday. She loves these guys so much
I remember my late father -- a WWII veteran -- sharing how much that song meant to him as he spent holidays overseas due to the war. Thank you for reminding me of that sweet memory of him. And thank you men and women of the military, as well as their families, for their service and sacrifice.
oke. i cryed. your harmony is just perfect!
Aw shucks, thanks!
Just beautiful, you made me cry! Spending time with loved ones is the best part of this holiday season! I am very thankful to the men and women that protect and serve our country state side and across the globe!
+Jacklynn Wix (Bittersweet85) couldn't have said it better!
Wish they all could be home for Christmas!!! Thank you all for your Service!!! That was beautiful Home Free!!! #LoveThoseHomeFreeGuys!!! 💜😊
+Mary E. Roth :-)
Such a great rendition. Happy holidays to all, including everyone serving our country. Hopefully you are able to come home for Christmas! And a moment of silence for those who are never coming home.
that first part may be one of the most beautiful openings I've heard in music
charles simpson Rob's beautiful tenor voice reminds me of Vince Gil's.
My Mom introduced me to music and so much what is beautiful in this world. Music is the one thing I claim to have a classic passion. Thank you for sharing.
this makes me cry because that is what happened to one of my friends dad who came back from the war to see his family again.
