NOW you are ready for Mayday!!

[@jillchamberlain6478]

This was their salute on Veteran’s Day a year ago. The arrangement is from a Finnish a capella group (club for Five, I may have the name wrong). Tim contacted them about their arrangement, and they gave it to him, no charge. Tim tweaked it a little for Home Free, and gave us this masterpiece!

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Also, five part harmony in this one. No beatboxing, although Adam Rupp did make the wind sound at the end,

[@dianeritthaler7792]

When Chance sings the verse about you did not desert me my Brothers in Arms it gets me every time😢

To me , this is HF 'S true masterpiece!! Absolutely stunning!

[@susanwahl6322]

This still makes me sad and sometimes I cry.

[@dtrix102]

I'm a huge Dire Straits fan, but this is the most moving rendition I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant. To all of our veterans who were able to make it home and to those who paid the ultimate price thank you for your service. From the offspring of a WWII Navy veteran father respect is extended. ::Steps back and salutes::

[@brendasorenson6186]

Oh my goodness; excellent reaction. Your opinion on Memorial Day should be a month was interesting and touching. Great technical commentary. Mark Knopler of Dire Straits wrote this song in response to the Falkland War. The Finnish a capella group Club For Five arranged it for a capella. They graciously allowed HF to use their arrangement with Tim adding the echoes. Thanks.

[@dianadickerson749]

You are one of the very few who has mentioned the video, Tim and Chance" ghosts" of soldier who have died in battle.

[@lonewarrior6633]

Brothers in Arms" is a ballad by British rock band Dire Straits, the closing track on their fifth studio album of the same name, released on 18 October 1985. It was written in 1982, the year of Britain's involvement in the Falklands War. The Falklands militia was held under arrest, by the Argentinian army - and the population of the Falklands was less than 2000. In the song, there is an opening riff of a thunder-storm i.e. rain. There is also mention of mountains and lowlands, as well as farming. This song hits me hard, as well as being British, I’m also a vet of the Armed Forces. It reminds me of my tour in Afghanistan. When I hear “Brothers in Arms”, I don’t just think of us British, but I also think of my other brothers from the US, Danish, and Swedes who were by our side’s. This song transcends multiple wars. Kind Regards

[@debbiehall9091]

Such a beautiful song. This is a very sad and so moving. ❤❤

[@dianeritthaler7792]

It's like the ghosts of those who never made it home telling their stories 😢

[@marshac7738]

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. 😥

[@kristindunstan172]

Those chords always remind me of a pipe organ. There was no percussion in this one, so Adam Rupp was able to give us that 5th part in the harmonies.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

This one is a Masterpiece 🎉❤

[@judithboggs2196]

Keep coming back to you Anthony. As much to listen to your intro as your reactions. Keeping it real, man, keeping it real. Appreciate you.

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Tim is behind the window, but on top. He is ghostly. The lines on the palm, as that palm closes the Soldier’s dead eyes.

[@denise_landry]

Masterpiece 🖤🍟

Kudos to you for saying that Memorial Day should be Memorial Month! Great reaction/analysis as usual.

[@JoanN63]

I always liked the Dire Straits version, but I only got really interested in this song through Home Free. (Although I have to be honest I think Dire Straits guitar playing is phenomenal) Yes, this version of Home Free will send shivers through your entire body! This is so emotional. Beautifully sung by Tim and Chance, but the background and harmony of Adam, Rob and Austin is also so beautiful. It looks like a choir or actually a kind of church organ sounds. And the whole setting of the video is just amazing. Simple but with so many details that makes it so profound

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

The two versions are so very different. Knopfler's guitar moaning and wailing is examplary. HF though makes the entire poetry so clear, as they almost always do, and you just can't beat HF's harmonies.

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

I found this and thank you . Home Free did a great job on this song. Tim and Chance did a beautiful job on this song the harmonies are beautiful. It looks so haunting and ghostly. Home Free is my favorite group.

[@donpotbury2220]

Isn't it amazing that people from so many backgrounds and life styles can still come together and acknowledge incredible talent? That is so encouraging to me!

[@vickiroman189]

I very much appreciate the respect you showed by letting this one run. I can never get through this one without tearing up.

[@nuggetslady8087]

There is a month dedicated to National Military Appreciation- May and National Veterans and Military Families is November.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Such a beautiful, sad song. The chorusing between the 2nd and 3rd verses puts me in mind of wailing at a funeral. The singing and harmonies are incomparable and the setting atmospheric. Thanks for playing this, your comments & reactions. We don't have Memorial Day in Canada, instead we have Remembrance Day, Nov. 11.

[@richb313]

Home Free has a talented production crew and will hire outside of their organization as needed.

[@archashencmaa9937]

.........Anthony!!!! I have maybe heard only one other person say that we should have Memorial Month. From what you said you don't even live in America. Not saying you need to be an American to understand and appreciate Sacrifice and Honor. But, that was very nice to hear. Thank you for mentioning that. Along those lines I personally think there could be a few other "Days" that should be "months". I thought i was the only one! This song hit HARD!! Very emotional. Loved, Loved your reaction. I am a new subscriber to you. Thank you.

@@lrfcowper True. Thank you for the correction. I guess I don't see the recognition as much or perhaps throughout the entirety of the month as maybe it should be. IDK, that could just be me not seeing it.

[@HotCanineMilk]

@@archashencmaa9937 People just don't do anything. It was designated in 1999, that's a lot of years for people to stop caring and doing stuff. If you want to see more recognition, then maybe talk with your towns/cities Rotary and Town/City officials and set something up.

[@arnieadam]

I do appreciate that you let the music play to the end.

[@kennethkirchoff4824]

Home Free, VoicePlay and Pentatonix--those are my "big 3" acapella groups. And Home Free just nails this song, musically and visually.

[@bertiewooles3093]

Its a really ballsy choice of song to cover because the electric guitar is such a HUGE part of the orignal song, and the fact that they pulled it off is just stunning

[@AmaBrigitte]

Loved it🎉❤

[@sjenny5891]

Pentatonix is a big Acapella group, but a lot of reaction channels don't do them because Sony blocks a lot. Voctave is another, but I don't see much of them. Peter Hollens and Jared Hayley are neat to listen to because they are one man choirs. They tape layers of themselves singing and put them together. But you are right. There are few groups that are big Acapella groups.

[@par500dragon7]

Straight No Chaser have been around for years, and are fabulous. But they tour so much, they don't do many videos.

[@rllangevin3841]

Loved your detailed analysis of this very moving song and hauntingly beautiful video and harmonies. Not as well known but definitely among the best dynamics and group harmonies you’ll ever want to hear I highly recommend Voctave. They do a lot of Disney (many of the group sing for Disney), some broadway and also have lots of glorious Christmas music. Pick anything and you’ll be amazed but their latest video Disney Villains and Heroes is phenomenal to hear the guys all solo and for the ladies the Disney Princess medley. Two absolute musts are: You Will Be Found (done during Quarantine) and The Prince of Egypt medley (audio only). I can’t wait for your jaw to drop when you discover this wonderful group!! 🎶

[@daventunes3822]

Yes, please!

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

I always enjoy your takes on the videography and production -- one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel. Home Free can stand still, and the beatboxer can sing instead, and you end up with 5 voices creating one beautiful instrument. We saw that also in their cover of "Helplessly Hoping." Sort of like a big pipe organ. I also have been watching your own performances, looking to you for help in understanding rap. It was never my thing, and maybe it's the dark lyrics that permeate so much of it. But the quality of your bass voice is appealing and the poetry is good, so I keep looking.

[@lucdowney4564]

Hauntingly beautiful. I agree with everything you said. Almost a black and white feel to the video. At times Tim and Chance looked ghostlike in the windows. See through quality in the windows/light. Loved the echoes. Tim was so low. Just a beautiful rendition. You’re in Belgium right?! Your country’s really been through it with two world wars. Goodness. My grandfather fought in the Ardennes. He survived. God bless. You sound like you could rival Tim for sure. 😍

[@tommarr3884]

Thank you Anthony for a very thoughtful and caring treatment of this arresting song. I cried the firs time I heard it and still often find tears in my eyes as I listen and watch their masterful treatment. I TOTALLY agree that we SHOULD have a Memorial Month to honor the hundreds of thousands of troops we've lost in the wars that have affected and, in fact, still affect our country and we just don't celebrate and THANK all the men who give the time, energy and many their life to preserve and protect our country and our way of life. THANK YOU AGAIN!!

@@lrfcowper Thank you, I wasn't aware of that designation. We need to publicise it more so that everyone knows. On May 30, 1999, Congress designated National Military Appreciation Month as a month-long observance. Congress chose May because many military-related observances such as Memorial Day and Loyalty Day are celebrated and observed on that date.May 19, 2023

I love that when they opt for no beatboxing, they do true 5 -part harmony and very rarely just double one of the normal 4 vocal parts. Adam Rupp is singing some of those high lines, higher than Austin in places.

Interesting that a song composed to honour the perspective from a soldier in a senseless war as a protest, is perceived as a salute to patriotism now. Composed in response to the Falkland War off the coast of Argentina back in 1982. OPPOSING 'Brothers in Arms" all fighting and dying, in the folly of a war for others.

[@according_to_Gerg]

[@karinfichtner7479]

As the daughter if a WW2 vet and the mother of a retired Marine Iraqi war vet, I am in complete agreement with you. These men and women deserve more than 2 days(I am including Veteran's Day) a year. Most people don't even notice Veteran's Day, and Memorial Day is an excuse to party and get the boat out. Even those who survive will never be the same....either physically, mentally or emotionally. Those boys who landed in Normandy were kids....who'd never left their home state, or even their home town. Never fell in love, never married, never became dads....and they died within minutes of landing. We are teetering on the brink of war again. When will we discover.....nobody wins?😢
