HOME FREE Brothers In Arms | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thanks for being here!! This one moved me just a little, hope you enjoy!

[@MooreCEJr]

Don't forget Adam (Mr. Beatbox) Rupp can sing very high... as he did in "How great thou art..."

[@deanmarion5477]

Original by Dire Straits, they totally ace and own this.

[@bryanhuff2010]

@@MooreCEJr was going to comment the same, no beatboxing in this one, Adam R is definitely adding to the tenor tones in this one

[@Aprlmoore]

You are awesome! And we love your thoughtful and knowledgeable reactions.

[@emmsoo5177]

Also react to Home Free's "Land of the Free", "How Great Thou Art", "Colder Weather", "In The Blood" etc

[@garyc7880]

Lost 2 men in the jungles of Panama. hits hard . nice anthem to my brothers. AIRBORNE

[@patriciavernon9795]

Home Free hums better than most groups can sing! Just love them!

[@tvideo1189]

That killed me! I was thinking the same thing.

[@callie3396]

Between Brothers in Arms and Everybody Walking This Land, Home Free was willing to put their stance on how we as humans should behave. If you weren't a fan already, these messages clearly show why you should be a fan of them and their music.

[@TerryScriv]

The etherial ghostly shots are designed to represent those who are no longer with us, except in our memories

[@rebeccarose7405]

When Home Free becomes a pipe organ! Just amazing! ❤️

[@lrfcowper]

That pipe organ feel in this just gives you the shivers.

[@rosemarywoodhouse6831]

And those last 2 chords, the final "Amen"

[@randallpage4578]

I agree.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

no matter how many time i listen to it, i always get goosebumps..

[@Opa_Andre]

What a fabulous decision, Jen, to do a reaction for it. And there is no excuse needed for getting emotional. I'm a grown old man and every time I watch that video I get chills and teary eyes.

[@coletedeux]

You are not the only one, my fiend.

[@davehertle]

My ear hears a huge, mostly empty cathedral, funeral service, a few loyal veteran friends attending. The song comes from the veteran in the casket as they await their ascent into the heavenlies.

[@dagmar.6954]

I have always been a fan of this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural breathy bass was awesome along with Chance's smooth baritone & loved it when all the guys were doing 5 part harmonies. Who would believe humming could sound so good. They gave it a very solemn feeling. I love that they don't overproduce their songs. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there.

[@GaiaOne]

Ethereal. Haunting. Gut wrenching. Soul stirring. Angelic. The only thing missing was the seraphic choir backing them up. Excuse me while I track down my soul and stuff it back into my body.

[@paulavasko4633]

Your post made me cry when I read it.

[@chillneophite8863]

Home Free aims for the feels, good feels or heart wrenching feels, and they usually hit the mark. This one in particular gets you in the heart wrenching feels.

[@brendasorenson6186]

... Like closing of a book... Yes! That's what I'm hearing; I just didn't know it. The soldier has said his tale, and he's giving his final words. Good reaction. I'm a little surprised you hadn't reacted to this yet, as it's one of HF masterpieces. But now you have. 😀 Lest we forget, we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.

[@MikeRittWesternAuthor]

I love this song. Those tight harmonies sounded like a pipe organ, particularly on the last two notes. Thanks for reacting to this one.

[@alanlundberg4534]

This performance is probably my favorite from Home Free. Simply epic!

[@kmwwrench]

This is so hauntingly beautiful. I did not know the Dire Straits original at all before I heard this. When I went to listen to the original, I at first thought I'd clicked on the wrong video because it is sooooo different. I prefer this version, although that may be blasphemy to Dire Straits fans. The peaceful power of those 5 perfect voices blending together is just chilling. Great reaction. Have a great day!

[@florencegrant-mc7bb]

Peaceful power very good phrase.

[@mswitch936]

Jen almost forgot this was a “review” and just watched the video. And we dont blame you. Us too

[@stefparthemore1562]

Hauntingly beautiful. Notice when they stand in front of the window, you can see thru them...very ethereal. I love this song. Thank you for reviewing this!

[@dianneantos480]

This is one of my favorite Home Free songs. No percussion, just voices in incredible harmonies! Thanks for enjoying the emotion of this one with us, Jen.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@debbiestumm511]

This and Helplessly Hoping! 😊

[@rllangevin3841]

And I Can’t Outrun You

[@erico3378]

This is a very beautiful cover by Home Free and they recorded this in a very similar way Club For Five did before them. You should listen to that version as well. It was performed/recorded in a live session.

[@chrisbateman5358]

As always, a superb reaction and analysis from Jen where she identifies all the little nuances of the performance that are easily missed by the layman listener. I love the songs that Home Free does and after Jen analyzes them for me I end up with a deeper appreciation. Keep it up Jen, you're great at this!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!!😁

[@donnam5891]

Absolutely...what Chris said!😊

[@roxannekabotsky2997]

​@@JenniferGlatzhoferso informative and educational. Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@karengreene6284]

This song was haunting when I first heard it in the 80s, but has gotten even more haunting as I've grown older. Home Free did an amazing job eliciting all the pathos and chills with their rendition. Your review was excellent as always.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Home Free again sings a perfect message with perfect harmonies and a cappella nuances beyond description. But the film making prowess is also shining here. The lights through the windows, their transparency, the absolute stillness of the space, and the decision to go black and white... all masterful. And Jen, your analysis is again mesmerizing. Thank you for this one.

[@fredkemper5957]

This one moves me a lot. Love Home Free’s version as well as the original. Love your analysis as always, too. You always manage to put into words precisely what I feel and hear. Thank you.

[@ShieldMaidenBLS]

I am shocked you hadn't seen this yet. This cover just about broke me! I love that Tim has been able to show off all he can do other than bass. But I will always prefer him in this range! His bass is just so earth shaking and a warm hug at the same time. This was also a gorgeous ode to our soldiers that sacrifice so much for our freedom. My family has been military for generations. Thanks Jenn, another wonderful reaction!

[@milomurphy9178]

Dire Straits classic. You can hear the added depth of the harmonies with Adam Rupp blending his voice with Austin and Rob.

[@deanmarion5477]

Jennifer Glazhofer will tackle that.

[@williamroop451]

No other Acapella group channels a church organ like Home Free....

[@parryhotter18]

Exactly my feelings. These last tones really are nothing short of a full organ. Stunning.

[@michelebryant3148]

I grew up listening to my grandmother play pipe organs in churches, practically from birth, my mother was frequently her page turmer. That was my first impression, wow, pipe organ.

[@cattsunn]

Adam brings so much to this mix and we are so unused to him singing it's easy to attribute his contributions elsewhere. Love when he sings. Thanks for the week!

[@csutton161]

this one kicks you in the gut and the heart. 9:38 is the most replayed part of any song. "were fools to make war on our brothers in arms" HOW TRUE

[@isilmiel]

Let me live inside those harmonies 😭

[@DougDingus]

That is a beautiful thought. Thank you! It expresses what I feel well and I have long struggled to express it well.

[@joeseay2883]

Jenn it's really kinda hard to listen to all the breakdown of this one because it's too serious for us old brothers in arms that lost brothers in arms. You're still great.! Just sad memories from losing so many friends .

[@cardude59]

Dear Jen, there is never a copywrite concern with Home Free or Voice Play. They own their music and KZbin is their primary way to get their music to the masses. They have no major music company stockholders to answer to. There are a lot of reactors out there that play the songs through uninterupted the first time and then go back for a second listen with the analysis. Keep up the great work on your side of the pond!

[@michelgoossens7550]

to give everyone their dues, this arragement is from the finnish accapella group "Club for five" from I think 2003

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Tim called Club for Five to talk about their arrangement, and they gave it to him. He made a couple of minor changes for Home Free. This was their Veteran’s Day release, in honor and tribute.

[@chrismorin1318]

I knew this one would affect you. Home Free always takes you along on the ride of whatever song and mood they are striving for. You never leave Home Free music and videos saying "Meh, it was ok." And the dedication they show towards trying to get people on the same page where our similarities are far more than our differences truly make us love them more. ❤

[@bvonsik]

Absolutely one of their best. They deserve respect for how they face issues , not with chest beating or yelling as we have seen but with BEAUTIFUL music. Cool fact that while they filming, Satchmo was laying under Chance's feet. He was hanging out with Dad and His brothers for the shoot. Love it. Thanks Jen great job.

[@lauranichols945]

Dire Straits first recorded this song in response to the Falklands War. This version, though, is based on the version first done by Club for Five, a Finnish band.

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

You’re right- hauntingly beautiful

[@tomaszbielak]

Yes, this is _my_ song ;) Waiting for your reaction :)

[@deanmarion5477]

And now you have it and it come true. 🪄.

[@Quizzy0000]

like i said on the official video of this Tim's voice has so much sadness and strength at the same time.

[@kennethbryson7751]

I’ve been hoping you would make it to this one! Looking forward to seeing it! Low bass Kenneth

[@MichaelAngeloIV]

Like you said, I love how they make it there own. It amazes me how the do that with their covers and still honor the original. That human pipe organ that is Home Free. 💖☺

[@godimlarge]

This cover ALWAYS gets me. Chills and tears every single time

[@quiltie1774]

Can’t wait! This is going to be a good one!!

[@unluckydiablo9502]

I listen to this every veterans day without fail. It resonates so hard. I'll let others speak to the music.

[@babyfry4775]

Love this! One of my favorites of theirs. Love the low, low notes of Tim. Love the echoes. Love the video and black and white look. Tim and Chance look ghost like in the windows. So hauntingly beautiful. Thank you Jen!🥰

[@HFtraveller]

So appreciative that you are having a HF week. So far, I am loving your choices. As usual, you reaction and analysis is awesome. You help me understand why these songs by HF (and others) resonate with me.

[@glennspreeman1634]

the desolate, lonely, remote cemetery shots plus the light shining thru Tim and Chance are just awesome additions to the reverence the guys paid this incredible song!

[@ericnelsen9385]

I am patiently waiting for you to announce that you have been invited to sing with the lads. It would definitely be epic.

[@roccopantaloons9115]

Yessssss!

[@kenhall5551]

I am loving your 'Home Free week' As always I learn something new from your detailed analysis. Thanks, Jen.

[@brucewaln]

Another tour de force collaboration of theirs is with Kenny Rogers on the song Children Go Where I Send Thee. An incredibly complex arrangement and they make it look effortless and easy.

[@allenclaytor8551]

great job as aleays!!! The thing i really like about HF is no matter the emotion you want they have the pwefect song for you. cant wait for your next reaction.

[@JWFowler36]

Their version of Go rest high on that mountain by vince gill is like the hardest song to listen and not cry about it! love the analysis ad reaction have a day as beautiful as you!

[@lizdeken9710]

Great job. Love their take on this song and their message. As always I really enjoyed your breakdown and take on their vocal choices. You’re a champ Jen!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@bobbywheeler4810]

GREAT reaction Jenn!! My "word association" with this work is "Ethereal". I truly enjoyed how it seems like there was a massive, very old pipe organ with a master organist at the helm. The ability for the guys and Darren Rust to arrange songs is one of the best musical phenomena in our world today. Thanks again for the true reaction.

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

As I understand it, this arrangement was actually from Club For 5, a Finnish acapella group. Home Free's primary addition, besides their wonderful performance, was the echo effect.

[@kylefrandsen2665]

LOL Tim: starts with a B1 Jenn: "not too low".

[@deanmarion5477]

Tim Foust: let me hit C0 Jennifer Glazhofer: not humanly possible for me Geoff from Voiceplay: let me teach Jennifer Glazhofer how go low or the lowest Tim Foust: we want you Jennifer Glazhofer to collaborate or permanently in Home Free or Voiceplay Jennifer Glazhofer: gladly ( in her accent)

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

🤞🏼🤞🏼😁

[@dianel222]

Jen I hope you listened again without stopping. Bought the Dire Straits album back in 1985 and was moved by Mark Knopfler’s guitar. Fast forward 35 yrs. HF’s 5-part harmony made me cry the 1st listen 🎧. Adam Rupp - I hear you! 💜

[@richb313]

I always look forward to your analysis of any Home Free song you give reasons for why the melodies and harmonies affect us. So beautifully done.

[@plasticonion]

Mark Knopfler wrote this about the Falkland island conflict with England back then after talking to some relative who was there. Though tit applies to all such conflicts. Beautifully done. Love Mark Knopfler and Home Free so this was a double whammy. It's used at a lot of veteran funerals apparently.

[@kennethbryson7751]

Great reaction, Dire Straits song but Home Free’s arrangement came from another good a cappella group, Club For Five. The idea of the song is genius. Like a man who was injured in war, not left on the field, and his would be thoughts of what’s important! Tim’s depths really brings out the somber emotions it needs. Great breakdown Jenn! Low bass Kenneth!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

This should win a lot of Awards and played every Memorial day and Veterans day

[@stephaniecolpron6379]

Another superb reaction to a phenomenal song. Thank you

[@donnabouldin4391]

It is very moving!! They never, and I mean never seize to amaze me. They are all excellent in their own uniqueness, but Tim gets me every time. Sometimes he gets to me more so than other times. This was one of those times! I had never even heard this song before. Beautiful arrangement and as always, love ya Jen. Great treat when I see your reactions.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

This is my favorite of theirs. When Chance says you did not desert me my Brothers in Arms makes my heart sink.😢

[@tomaszbielak]

Very important song, beautifully performed. Big thank you for your reaction and analysis. Finally I understand why I like their version so much. You explained that to me using words and facial expressions. ❤ You have made my ordinary workday a holiday. Thank you again!

[@vickiadkins9844]

I thought u had already seen this!! Isn't this incredible!! A masterpiece!!

[@jcoldal6033]

Thank you for your, as always, skillful analysis and lovely reaction to this fantastic Home Free version of Dire Srait's iconic track. It is a serious song, and gives thought to the current situation. It is noteworthy that we do not hear Adam Rupp's beatbox skills, but that he participates in the background harmonies.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

The group making a wall of sound after Chance,to me it represents the sound of battle. It’s stunning

[@bernieregnier4500]

Great reaction and reverent, thank you............ Home Free does a good job of interpretation and respect for the songs original intent. ❣

[@WearingTheArmor]

The "haunting" window shots always make me think pf the POW/MIA flag..

[@cowboy1165]

Woo hoo, 2 more days left of Home Free. 🤣 Very moving, Great Job Jenn. You were explaining things I wasn't even picking up on.

[@trinawhitehead8281]

I think you’re my favorite reactors. Also your analysis has have taught me to listen to more detail . Thanks keep it up

[@pjcornelius]

Great song. And this may be my favorite version of it. Very moving.

[@Uldreign]

Really enjoy your reactions and the break downs fun too listen too. And as a veteran of two wars, this song😢 is hard to listen too with dry cheeks. Definitely resurrected this song from back in the day.

[@jonroux9291]

From the very first time that I heard Home Frees cover of this song, every time a single member is in front of the window, they look like a ghostly image. I wonder if that effect was intentional. Either way, that's how I see it. Amazing job by the boys.👏👏

[@danielosheigh4793]

This song is beautiful and poignant. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. This song SHOULD tear any sane human being up Jenn. You are an absolute ray of sunshine.

[@divab63]

So glad you reacted to this one. So haunting. Hope you do In the Blood some day.

[@dafatra13]

I wish the last reaction of home free's week is "All about the bass"

[@chrismorin1318]

Just FYI, you would really love their version of Everybody Walkin This Land! Make sure you listen all the way through Tim's message at the end. It's another VERY powerful song!

[@penlynn5036]

The harmonies on this -- I hear bagpipes, which would be appropriate. I’ve always wondered if it was intentional or a happy accident or simply how my brain processes it.

[@johntucker4296]

Someone mentioned the bv's are meant to be taken as mourning and angels singing, too. Tim and Chance are whose deaths they are mourning.

[@annebiebrich9155]

You are my favorite reacted!!❤

[@trixietoyou5355]

One of the things i love about homefree is that you can hear each single voic when they sing. You can hear Adam in this song cear as a bell. Beautiful

[@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 the 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

[@roxannekabotsky2997]

My favorite group. 😊

[@matthewgoodA1206]

Somber to the point of simply haunting. Once when I was visiting my parents I decided to play this song for them, since they’re both Dire Straits fans. My father liked it and said Tim has a great voice.

[@PdP968]

I'm actually a little surprised that Jen didn't mention the fact, that Adam Rupp was singing, and not beat boxing like normal.

[@florencegrant-mc7bb]

This is the best antiwar song I think I’ve ever heard. Home Free never disappoints they are the gold standard.

[@deanmarion5477]

Tim Foust take full lead but Adam Chance with mini solo, they are so fun to hear them.

[@tedharvick9010]

This was a master class of harmonies. For another one, and more of Chance, check out their cover of I Can't Outrun You.

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

This one makes the hair on my arms stand on end. At times I feel like I’m listening to a church organ. Beautiful, sad song.

[@daventunes3822]

Having been in an acapella chorus myself, the thing I noticed was the distinct lack of vibrato, which in turn made that chord lock SO substantial. That is a lot of what gives the BGVs that pipe organ effect. It also seemed to me that Adam Rupp took a lot of the very highest lines, and he has a very pure, light quality to his voice.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@zippitydoodah5693]

That hand motion of Tim's??? It's just him summoning vocal thunder from the bowels of the earth itself for musical harmonization and stunned appreciation by us all.

[@Robert-rv3zm]

Goosebumps, Jen? These fellas are 5 of the most talented vocalists on the planet.

[@sallaisosaari4652]

What can I say. Impressive, moving, powerful. This arrangement is by Club for Five. I've seen them do this live. So beautiful ❤ Thank you for the analysis 😊

[@dianeritthaler7792]

What an Amazing beautiful tribute to fallen soldiers 😢

[@geniej9093]

Great analysis and performance vibe

[@creationsbychancecan]

This one will break you Jen. Thank you for reacting to this one.

[@jjackflash8907]

The visuals of them standing in front of the window , ghostly as if it being sung by someone that died in battle.

[@garryfletcher893]

Emotionally satisfying , gritty perfection !
