HOME FREE - BROTHERS IN ARMS | BLOWN AWAY BY THIS ONE!!! | {REACTION}

[@frankfreeman1444]

It is a wounded and dying soldier on the battlefield, saying good bye to his comrades and expressing the stupidity and futility of war beyond his own simple death. As a Vietnam veteran who lost friends I appreciate every word of the lyrics.

[@tassilo5949]

The song is a masterpiece of Home Free. The fantastic harmonies, on point. And then Tim's and Chance's voices, phenomenal. But Tim's super low notes make for an absolutely perfect goosebump feeling!

As a veteran, this song hit me in places I had no idea that I could feel. I was on my knees crying reminiscing of the friends I have lost to the mental scars of military service. Even the privilege of presenting flags to next of kin at military funerals of those who came before. It really just hits you in a gut and feels.

[@sallycripe2697]

I 100% agree, Christina. As a fellow vet, and the wife of a deceased VN vet, it hits you.

[@maryjoevans6103]

Yes indeed....I lost my Husband in 2017. He was a Vietnam Vet. with two Purple Hearts whom fought for our country with pride and humility. From my seeing the title of this song I knew I better grab the tissues!! Boy was I right....Thank You to all who have or do serve, my prayers are for you as My Husband watches over you, and Thank You to Home Free for a song that helps us remember those who have fought and are now at peace 🕊️❤️

[@terrichristenson432]

Thank you for your service, and I shed tears everytime I watch this. And yes, our service men and women lost to the mental scars of military service. My Dad was in WWll and he was lost to his family when he came back, he was only there physically. Hardly ever spoke to anyone, barely existed, and passed when my sister and I were young.

I've heard this several times now, and it's just haunting. They sound like organ music in the background.

It’s wild right 🤯🔥

[@lisastevens682]

Also the visuals. There are times where they are transparent like ghostly figures...haunting...

[@karinfichtner7479]

Yeah, no Avi. You are thinking of Avi Kaplan, who sang with them on Ring of Fire. He used to be in Pentatonix, but left that group. The Home Free gang consists of beatboxer Adam Rupp, who also founded the group. High tenor is Austin Brown. Lead tenor is Rob Lundquist, and the guy you like is Adam Chance Ray.....known as Chance. He is baritone, but can sing tenor and bass. Has a 4-octave range. Our bassman is the incomparable Tim Foust....with a 5-octave range.

[@ABtheKreator]

Oh yes and smh thank you 🙏🏾

Haha I think I need to do more HF according to the HoneFries I’m not ready lol

[@momD612]

Please DON'T do Mayday yet. You've GOT TO know their names & usually roles very well before you'll totally get Mayday. Do a couple more & get ti know them individually a bit better & Mayday will get you deeper & just better. Try "Sold". "Honey I'm good". "Can't stop the feeling". "All about that bass". "Blue ain't your color". "Working for a living". "Thank God I'm a country boy". "9 to 5" (official video and LIVE- 9 to 5) or there's plenty others that are fabulous. Maybe 2 or 3 more, THEN you'll get & appreciate Mayday on a better level. 🥰🥰

[@vampiricunicorn791]

Great reaction! But, nope, not ready for Mayday. You're getting there, but aren't there quite yet. You should know what each person normally does without having to guess in order to fully grasp what is going on from the very beginning of the song. Also, in this song (Brothers In Arms) it's the full gang. No beatboxing, but Adam was there humming and vocalizing along. Each song is different, and tailored to the effect they want the song to bring out and who would be the best to do so. So it might be like this one with one or two leading or all leading at points.

[@momD612]

Totally agree!!!

[@conniedavis7469]

Your absolutely right, not ready for May Day!! Even though it’s one of my favorites

[@joycewalbert1413]

We're fools to make war on our Brothers In Arms.

The chorusing between the 2nd and 3rd verses makes me think of people wailing - eerie, beautiful and sad. Their rendition of this song is almost an elegy. I've seen military veterans reduced to tears by it.

[@ABtheKreator]

Oh yeah thanks Jill 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@louisetwissell80]

This is a good cover version. The original song was written by Mark Knopfler from the UK band Dire Straits. It was released by them in 1984, but written in 1982. It's about the loss of lives on both sides during the Falklands conflict between Argentina & UK. A very poignant song. Dire Straits are probably one of the best live performing bands. Definitely worth a reaction.

[@dagmar.6954]

I have always loved this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural bass was awesome, also Chance's solos & so were all the guys doing 5 part harmonies.

[@joyvanderveer2282]

Tim Foust is deep bass, 5 octave range. Adam Chance is baritone, 4 1/2 octave range. Rob is 2nd tenor, Austin is the 1st tenor, and Adam Rupp is the beatbox expert. All three of them have 3 1/2 octave ranges.

Nice Matt!!!! And thank you for the comment 🙌🏾💙💙

[@meganstorm3248]

I'm late to the party, but I really hope you see this, because you've GOT to do a react to the original, by Dire Straits. This is an amazing cover... the original is mostly just Mark Knopfler's unmistakable guitar & voice. But they're like total musical opposites of each other, but that's like the only way to cover that song without seeming like a cheap copy? Mark's voice is... graceful, but plain. Soft, but gravelly. He sings & you feel the exhaustion of the narrator... simple, unvarnished truth. All the intricacy & flourish is in the fingerstyle acoustic guitar. There aren't many rock artists that can fingerstyle at all, let alone for the entire song and they're also the only singer, and the combination of the two is like nothing else in rock.

[@ABtheKreator]

Ok thank you 👍🏾

Before you can do Mayday, you'll need to know everyone's name's and what parts they sing. If it takes writing them down, do it. Let's just say the surprises you get with Mayday, will make you appreciate knowing who each guy is and what parts they sing. It'll make you get up and walk away more then once with a lot of extra orange juice. More like raining orange juice instead of sprinkling orange juice.

[@sc0repio662]

It will be interesting to see your reaction to this one, but I do wonder if you've heard the original Dire Straits version. If not, as a music lover AB - you really should give it a listen I enjoy the A Capella style of music, I count myself as a "Home Free" fan & do think the group did a very respectful & admirable job on it... However.... "Brother's in Arms" has been my all time fav Dire Straits song since it first came out in '85 and it never fails to move me to the verge of tears. The lead-in of the light guitar notes mixed with the storm... the thought provoking lyrics Knopfler's soulful & absolutely ICONIC guitar... As said above, HF made a great effort & I'm not trying to downplay it at all, but due to my extreme reverence for the original, the bar is stratospherically high... so this one falls a bit short for me.
