Home Free - Brothers in Arms

The meaning of “Brothers in Arms” rings true across more than just when we’re at war overseas, but when we’re fighting amongst ourselves.
When political and other divisions split us, we have to take a step back and remember that we always have more in common with each other than we have that is different. And we need to see all of our fellow human beings as the brothers and sisters we are, so we can live in a more harmonious society ❤️

71 years ago my uncle Marvin died at the battle of Chosin Reservoir in what is now North Korea. The US and UN troops were so out numbered and under such continuous fire that they were not able to take the fallen with them when they withdrew. My uncle was one of those left behind. But now, thanks to decades of diplomacy and the science of DNA, his remains have been repatriated and positively identified. He's finally coming home. His ashes will be interred in his mother's grave next month. It took a lifetime of continuing effort, but they finally brought him home. Like the lyrics in this song say, "You did not desert me, my brothers in arms."

[@zanf1778]

WOW 🥺! Your ability to tell a relatively short story with such depth and detail, in so few words - is amazing, yet I feel compelled to not only thank you - for sharing this slice of your own family history - while offering apologies for EVERY soldier, EVERYWHERE for being forced to be pawns in our leaders battles. Maybe we (EVERY COUNTRY) should bring our soldiers home - and send the LEADERS to the battlefield to fight out their agendas - until the last one standing. Seems more fair, right? 👍

[@matthewrayner571]

This is possibly one of the most beautiful a capella pieces I've heard! The whole group nailed every part. One thing I really love about this cover is the fact that they chose a bass singer as the lead, but just left him as the lead. They didn't try and show off with subharmonics, growls or any of the other super showy techniques (they have a place but are sometimes overused); instead they just let the natural warmth and beauty of a lower voice shine as the focal point for all the stunning harmonies. Fantastic job, Home Free.

[@johnbrock8105]

He seemed kind of heavy on the vocal fry. Tim can get down to those registers without it so I'm thinking it's a style choice. Sing about soldiers, use a gruff voice.

@annmariemitchell2532 I thought about it a couple of years ago, when I watched a rather amazing play by Sandi Toksvig called "Bully Boys". It's about a young British soldier accused of a war crime in Afghanistan, and his interaction with his lawyer (appointed by the army), a wheelchair user with his own ghosts from the Falklands. It is amazing (but I would wager triggering for someone dealing with PTSD).

Someone make sure Mark Knopfler sees this especially with Tim and Chance taking the lead vocals. Great arrangement of one of my very favorite songs and so appropriate now.

Long time ago in 1986 I served in the regular "socialist-communist" army, this song was a hit song, was playing on the radio. As a soldier at that time from another part of the world, not knowing a lot of English language, I was singing the tune, and that chorus brothers in arms make me smile like I was knowing what it means really. Decades later my English is getting better and I heard a song again, now, I know what it means, it means a lot for the army personal no matter where they served, in what army, we are all the same, sometime just fresh meat for the cannons, sometimes just lost in the desert, but always remember that when no one else is left to ask for help and support, that person next to you, that cold blooded soldier is your brother in arms and he and you will do anything to protect each other, to help each other to ease the pain, because those are The Brothers in Arms! God save all soldiers!

Tim's vocals bring me back 35 years to the piercing, tectonic balm of this song's namesake album. I was barely in my twenties, but grew up with Vietnam as a backdrop. The insanity of it, the nearly insurmountable damage At Every Turn, the Vets...some disfigured, some walking-wounded, most bewildered, all betrayed. That bass rumbles in the bone the way grief and disillusionment did. As a kid it was terrifying to see that all the adults had lost their collective shit. Words alone can't describe or heal it. Only music can touch it. I'm truly grateful.

This is now my favorite Home Free song. As a 26 year veteran, this song resonates with me. I was in high school when Dire Straits Brothers in Arms album was released (one of Adam Chance's favorites 8-). I remember watching footage of the Falkland Islands War on TV in the early 80s. Here are my top 5 (SO hard to pick because all their songs are great): 1. Brothers in Arms 2. Helplessly Hoping 3. Man of Constant Sorrow 4. How Great Thou Art 5.

That hit deep. (No pun intended on Tim and Chance carrying the song in their lower registers. Just happy coincidence.) After reading the song description, it made me realize that a lot of the anger I feel at what I see happening in our country right now is underlaid by an even deeper sadness that there is so much strife and division. We are all part of the human family, and it always hurts to be separated from your family.

As a veteran, I often had thoughts like this whenever we sent soldiers "over there".

I cannot remember the last time a song made me tear up, and I was actually tearing up. Powerfully, beautifully done.

[@justlinsu]

Hauntingly beautiful....The vocals of Tim at the beginning just hits you right in the heart. The harmonies are sublimely both warming and chilling. Sung with such respect to the fallen hero and to those who still serve. Congratulations Home Free you are BRILLAINT! Love from Australia

Hell yeah. Maybe my favorite song of all time.

My brothers are all gone now but I still stand to carry on the fight and teach the next generation to be brothers in arms. I see their spirits in the eyes, hearts, and minds of the men I trained. forever brothers in arms.

Rivals, or goes above and beyond the Pentatonics. So amazing. Challengers to the throne. But the bass and baritone, harmonizing with the sopranos and tenor, it's what drags me in. I was a Corpsman, First Gulf War. "I'mma save you!" As a field medic, you swear three oaths. The first, to uphold and protect the US constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The second, the Hippocratic oath. "First, do no harm." Paraphrasing a bit. The third, is unwritten, unspoken, just understood. It's the override. Team comes first. It pre-empts all the others, because, well, sorry, if it's a little pragmatic sounding, "If you're dead, or I'm dead, I can't carry out the others. So, stay alive! If you die, we die." This is so much more pertinent. "I'd catch a grenade for you." for me, at least wasn't a song lyric. The entire ethos, we'd die for eachother, but... that's not exactly plan A. Stay alive! Weird thing they did to me, was, to try to make me unkillable. Innoculated, injected, gas chambers, trained with SEALs. I don't like guns, personally, but I was a medic. My side-arm was a Ka-Bar short blade. No intent to harm. Utility. I hate war. Sorry if it sounds unpatriotic. I worked on a warship, at VA hospitals, saw the damage it does. The lives cost, the crippling injuries. I was just, "No!" Ack! Long story short, love the music, the harmonization, the theme, the whole kit and caboodle. More about the music, the combination. It's... insanely good. The balance of the bass, baritone, tenor, soprano, it all, to me, at least represents team.

Thank you Home Free for covering this amazing song. Almost 37 years ago, my father passed away when I was only 15. We used the original Dire Straits version of this for my Dad's funeral and every time I hear it, I cry. Today was no exception. Thank you again for taking a beautiful song and raising it to another level. I love you alll.

Our son was in Afghanistan and is now suffering with his mental health. His family at that time were very young. This song brings back so many memories and thank u. Could feel your compassion all the way through

[@michaelprosser4447]

I have lost a cousin in Afghanistan, and it causes me great sorrow knowing that some that has fought and died for freedom, not just for the USA, but for other countries as well, are burried in other countries that hate Americans. This song really touches my heart. Hopefully it makes others remember the sacrifices all made that fought for freedom. (Some gave it all). Thank you Home FREE.

[@jamiec1212]

When I first saw this was going to be a premiere, I was like is it going to be "that" Brothers In Arms...the Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler Brothers In Arms. I always loved that song...for its depth....simplicity...its meaning. I listened to the Home Free version tonight...impressed by their rendition. It captures the essence of the original, the depth, the simplicity. Once again Home Free pays tribute...they come through...and this Veteran appreciates their efforts. Thank you Home Free.

@@patbullard9276 Stop being blindfolded by propaganda... Why would you take kneeling as a sign of disrespect? Do people not kneel in churches while praying? And this whole thing about "democrats and liberals" trying to "destroy America" is just funny. See that those that have been trying to dismantle the American ways of freedom are mostly conservative, for example that time when they literally instigated a terrorist attack on January 6th... And as a sidenote, I hope that you're aware that the HomeFree guys are also those "liberals" you hate so much :)

[@donnarowe8618]

I just listened to the original before coming back yet again to this, wondering why this version ALWAYS leaves me bawling, while the original doesn't. I think it's because Dire Straits' version is the low key melancholy of survival which inspires contemplation and remembrance. The raging storm is over. You survived. You're worn out, you're grieving for those who were lost, but you *survived*. Home Free? You're still in the raging storm. They just reach in and rip out your heart with the emotional reality of war.

This video is so strong and amazing, it shook me to my core. Thank you, Home Free, for standing up for those that gave their ultimate sacrifice. So many people in our society today have been coddled and shielded as young people that they cannot possibly understand the depth of this song. They have never known real sacrifice in their lives, and so they take our freedoms for granted.

[@marymosher5163]

Wow. In awe as usual. Heres the tears too. Lovely guys.

[@markpukey8]

Sitting home on Memorial Day and this pops up. Great song, GREAT COVER and so appropriate. Every person, in every nation, should understand this song and agree, the horrors of war might require some to sacrifice everything, and they should all be remembered for their courage and bravery.

[@davidstevens2367]

My guess is that this is not at country song, and I suspect the majority of Home Fries are country fans. Also, there are so few of us who have served in this country, the meaningfulness to veterans and their families does not necessarily result in a ton of views. No of that diminishes the brilliance of this song though!

How he can sing that deep and be that melodious is beyond amazing!

Absolutely. People rave about Tim's amazing range, but just as remarkable is the beauty and distinctiveness of his voice. Few bassi profundi can maintain emotional flexibility down in those depths.
