For King and Country is phenomenal ❤️ I know it's past Christmas but you should really check out the live video of their version of "Little Drummer Boy" the drums will blow you away!!!!

[@mrn2634]

Little drummer boy is very good, I love it

[@sockeeper0193]

I second this. There is a video of them doing it live which is better than recorded version (my opinion)!! Def one of the best versions ever of little drummer boy

[@theresadeuschle8500]

CMA live is amazing. Official video is Luke's son playing snare

[@susanhockings6830]

Thank you for reviewing and bringing attention to this band. Originally born in Australia 🇦🇺 their story is truly inspirational. They also have a movie about to come out called Unsung Hero based on their life.

[@gretchend6823]

They are so genuine and caring. This was my daughter’s favourite song. At a concert when they heard she had died they sang this for her (triplet) sisters.❤️

[@ladynymue]

I'm not religious but I do love their stuff. It's so heartfelt and some of the best music out there.

[@trishm.9294]

They are brothers from Australia. Please watch "God Only Knows" with Dolly Parton. It's excellent.

[@joyelizabethsutton-pelczyn2211]

The original God Only Knows video is so amazing though. I mean, what they did with that video was something else

[@lostharmony27breaker98]

their sister is also a singer called Rebecca st james. she was big in aus over 17 years ago and I actually got to see her

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

Their whole family is musical, and they grew up helping their older sister, Rebecca St. James, a Christian artist back in the 90s, while she was on tour. They would lug around equipment, set up the stage, play instruments, and then they grew up and went out on their own. I've seen them live a few times, they have the most incredible, insane concerts!!

[@cassietessier5594]

The couple (car crash guy, Joel) are actually married. These brothers, Joel and Luke (Luke has the curly hair), family are all involved in their stuff, pretty much 😂. But their music videos are usually directed by their brother, and their lighting is also done by their brother. Relate is an amazing song live or MV. But any of their music is amazing and they tend to lean heavily percussive. Which is why Drummer boy live is insanely good.

[@timcaldwell5241]

Drummer Boy was my intro to K&C…I think it was a Country Christmas, a few years ago. It was absolutely mind blowing!!! Their backstory is fascinating as well…I think they are originally from Australia, I could be wrong, but they are two of a large family.

[@cassietessier5594]

@@timcaldwell5241 you are correct they are from a big family. One of their sisters is actually Rebecca St. James who used to be a big Christian singer, and they learned a lot about live performances from that had helping roles, I just can’t remember what exactly.

[@jenniferfaust707]

@@cassietessier5594 I think they were musicians in her band.

[@joyelizabethsutton-pelczyn2211]

Oh yay!!! I love for King and Country!!!!!! Their songs Joy (the live version), Amen, Burn the Ships, Together, Relate, God Only Knows (Which won a Grammy), Priceless, Fix My Eyes, and For God is With Us (Grammy nominated this year) are amazing! Ugh they have so many good songs that you just can't lose with them!!! So glad you're giving these guys a chance!!!! Their songs made it pretty high on the Billboard too. Between these brothers and NF, I got through some of the darkest days of my life. Their live The Little Drummer Boy on CMT is awesome. It's nothing like I've ever heard before.

[@ladynymue]

God only knows is my favorite!

[@jonathanmcnair9860]

Burn the ships and amen are the next 2 that you should check out from For King and County. They are very good and you will not be disappointed

[@joyelizabethsutton-pelczyn2211]

@@jonathanmcnair9860 I love amen. The live version is so hype with the drums and everything but the music video is so full of meaning

[@jonathanmcnair9860]

Amen reborn is awesome to

[@joyelizabethsutton-pelczyn2211]

Their live videos are awesome. Amen live gives me chills every time. But their music videos are so meaningful. And yeah all of the amens are amazing

[@hlmO7a]

Thanks for the reaction and having and open mind! For King & County is one of my fave groups. Their personal life stories are inspirational, and they have an incredible talent for turning their experiences into beautifully inspiring songs that not only satiate the senses musically, but heal the soul from the inside out. With your love for passionate live performances, definitely check out their "Little Drummer Boy" preference from the 2019 CMA Country Christmas TV Special. They definitely made the classic Christmas tune their own with an exciting flare unique to their performance style. It will rock your socks off!

[@tinamorris01]

For king and country does create amazing inspirational music. This song came to me when I turned 14 (21 now) and I was diagnosed with 2 brain tumors and a tumor in my stomach and as a 14 year old I was scared. I had faith but I came from a non religious household. And this song was my inspiration to keep fighting

[@katmit69]

For King and Country is the top of contemporary christian world...they are amazing and their music tends to cross genre's into mainstream all the time. The messages they put out into the world are ones that everyone needs to hear and they do it masterfully....makes people not feel like "church" is being shoved in their face. I have followed these guys since they came on the scene many years ago and they just do it better and better as time goes. Their concerts are amazing. Oh btw they are brothers, Luke and Joel and they are Australian, but have lived in the states since they were young. If you want to hear the most drum filled rocking version of Little Drummer Boy, you should check out their live version, it's insane. So glad you had them on the channel!! ❤

[@hollykinslow5193]

They call Nashville home, just like me and you! Yay Nash!! Even though they are from Australia. They are brothers....come from a big fam.....another brother is their producer, etc. They are the real deal.

[@lakaye4877]

Haven't heard this song in a year or two and forgot how good they are!

[@Whimsicaltalesx]

Their work has strengthened my hope & helped me sing through the darkest of times! 💜💜 keep glorifying God! Hallelujah 🙌🏻

[@terij268]

Thank you for giving For King and Country a reaction. The song that grabbed me was the Little Drummer Boy. I saw the video before the live version. The drums were amazing!! They also do their rendition of AMEN.

[@Keikogir1]

Their song Joy blew me away.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

That was the second one I ever heard...after hearing the updated version of the Las Vegas "Little Drummer Boy" live video. After that, I started searching, and have heard every single one of their songs multiple times. They are so GREAT! 😀

[@threekidzmom04]

Such a beautiful and touching song!

[@mrn2634]

I love them a lot and this song is amazing. I hope you can react to others songs of them

[@theresadeuschle8500]

Another rabbit hole! Drummer Boy live from CMA fest, Burn the Ships, Amen, Emanuel, and so many more! Watch some live stuff. The band members play over 40 instruments and rotate in the stage constantly. Joel (lower) and Luke (higher) Smallbone.... Brothers! This group is killer!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Awesome reaction to an amazing song! My daughter played this on repeat when I had a stroke and they didn't think I would make it, it really helped her through.

[@zodiac_blue9116]

First time seeing the channel, great variety on here and great reaction!!

[@JonuhOfficial]

This song still makes me cry after so many years😭

The one singer in the beginning plays in a movie called "like a country song"

[@carolyncostner9619]

Seeing them li e is o. My bucket list. I had tickets to see them in Greensboro NC but was hospitalized withe COVID and did not get to go.

[@SharonS-fn2ym]

You should do For King and Country’s “Together”. Video came out at the beginning of Covid. All their music is excellent!

[@bt6248]

For King & Country! I'm going to their concert in April. Can't wait! Thank you for this reaction.

[@TracyJ2328]

For King and Country are sooo awesome! My husband & I saw them in Baton Rouge back in 2014 and they are just spectacular live! They love drums but it’s so beautiful! Thanks for watching them!

[@formergoat9257]

I saw them here in Louisiana too. I don't remember where and when though (been to so many Christian concerts I lose track).

[@EvanG.]

That’s a good song

[@eunicebardin9629]

Also, they are so fun to watch live. Try finding some of their live performances.

[@heidicook2739]

They are phenomenal live performers.

#1 King and Country!!!!!

[@allora6826]

Hey John! I've been enjoying your BTS reactions, but I'm so glad you found this song as well! The lyrics to the first verse always speak to me so deeply. You might also enjoy their songs Ceasefire, God Only Knows, Burn the Ships, and Run Wild. (And their live version of Little Drummer Boy, as I see others already suggesting.) Groups with meaningful lyrics (like BTS and For King & Country) are so inspiring. I'm excited that they are inspiring you too!

[@TheKayjay15]

Started following you because of BTS, but am so happy to see you be introduced to for KING & COUNTRY. I second checking out Relate. Also Burn the Ships.

[@Kazeemi2810]

Please do a deep dive into these guys!! You won't regret it! Burn the Ships, God Only Knows & Joy to get started!!!

[@m.w.5736]

Thanks for acting to 4K&C. I have enjoyed your reactions to my second favorite group PTX. 4K&C has a large selection to view. Try the version of The Little Drummer Boy, there live in Phoenix is awesome.

We sang this in church. I cried throughout the song.

[@Iluvmyhusband89]

Thank you for being open to For King & Country. God bless you. This really touched my heart that you did this. They have some amazing music. If you are interested some of my other favs by them are :- * Amen * Fix my Eyes on You * Pioneers ( they sing this with their wives) * Without You ( Heart breaking but beautiful. Based on a real life situation one of the brothers experienced). * Nobody knows ( I love the original, but there is one they did with Dolly Parton). * Priceless More recent songs :- For God is with Us Relate Love me Like I Am I honestly love their music. I listen to their playlists also. I pray that God continues to bless you John. Watching from the Caribbean 🏝🙂❤

[@sasuberson]

This is my favorite christian band. Please listen to more of their music ❤

[@PoeticChick4Ever]

They are a Christian band. They are actually brothers and their sister is Rebecca St James (She is a Christian Artist as well) All their music videos are awesome. There is one song that they do with Courtney who Luke (the taller one) wife. He wrote the song. Their music is amazing and their videos as well.

[@wandak59]

This is the last song I sang for my mom before she died.

[@bt6248]

♥️

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

I have seen For King & Country numerous times in concert (like 4 or 5 maybe?). They are very, very good live. Their older sister is Rebecca St. James, who was a popular Contemporary Christian artist back in the 90s. I loved her too and saw her in concert as well. These guys and TobyMac are my ult Christian artists (I've seen TobyMac about 10 times...lol).

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

Their names are Joel and Luke Smallbone. The woman in the video who plays the deceased wife is Joel's in-real-life wife, Moriah. She is also a Christian artist. Joel is the older of the two brothers in the band, but they have another brother (Ben) who is a director. He directed this MV, in fact, as well as a movie that Joel starrted in about human trafficking called "Priceless." I wouldn't be suprrised if he has directed other MVs for them as well. The entire Smallbone family moved to the US from Australia in 1991 (Joel was 13, Joel was 7 and Luke was two years younger), and most (if not all) of the family members live in the Nashville area now. There are a total of 7 siblings in the Smallbone family, and the family went through a lot of hardships after moving to the US since the job that their dad moved to Nashville for ended up letting him go.

[@susanmarks2382]

😊 their Drummer Boy live is amazing. If you like meaningful music, check out an English Folk group called the Young'Uns, their album Strangers is all written about specific people/event - Carriage 12 is about a thwarted terriorist gunman on a train in France....

[@mericaemmanuel9929]

Wow, you reacted to one of my favorite christian groups. Yaaay, thanks, John 😍😍😍😍

[@tracybuhr9481]

Some of these songs make me feel like crying, I’m a 48 year old Male.

[@crgirrard4210]

The band is For King and Country. I love these 2 brothers. They have a lot of really good songs one of their earliest is Proof of your love with a rather deep video. Saw you have done a couple of reactions to NF. Try TobyMac and NF Til the Day I die (Lyric video) and TobyMac's live version with his band Diverse City. It is more than a show. Also TobyMac Love broke thru the MV is very timely yet was put out 6 years ago. Ever heard of DC Talk?That is where TobyMac started in the 90s.

[@takingtimewithtricia]

For King and County is an amazing group. If you want to check out an amazing Christmas song of their's. Check out Little Drummer Boy. I'm wanting to start writing again as well. Blessings

[@SharonS-fn2ym]

You should listen to their entire “Burn the Ships” album. It’s incredible! They are awesome and are really good people. Whole family (parents and 7 siblings) immigrated here from Australia when Joel was 7 and Luke 5.

[@formergoat9257]

You need to react to Skillet - Monster. If you haven't heard it before I think you would like it.

Yes, and I would LOVE to hear some reactions to her new songs. She does one with Luke that is tremendous, but my favorite is "Battle is the Lord's" with Brandon Lake (this link is for the acoustic version).

[@guilhermemagnooficial276]

React to Guilherme Magno - Hey Father) music video,it's Christian music, it's a very small artist, but still unique!

[@Llggd]

Their music sounds different than the typical Christian tracks. First time I heard their stuff was this song on the radio. I usually tune out songs but this stuck with me afterwards. Saw them in concert years later and man do these guys put on a show.

Try a couple of their newer songs: Unsung Hero, Love Me Like I Am, For God is With Us, Relate

Yes! Also, there are a TON of other ones that would be great for reactions. One of my favorites is "Million Little Miracles," which features Joe L. Barnes as the lead singer, but Brandon is there, along with many from Elevation Worship, Maverick City Music, and others. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJrMqGmqfM6gftEsi=SylNARHeVTVlPToY
