Reaction to Home Free - Don't Laugh At Me (featuring Mark Wills)

[@MarkWillsMusic]

Glad you learned who 'Mark Wills' is! haha Great to meet ya. Thank you for reacting to our video with Home Free. When we released this song in 1998, it meant so much to hear people's stories and how it touched their lives. So thankful for a new generation to hear this! Appreciate you, man! God Bless you and your message. You are so correct about how TikTok and social media affects us. BE YOURSELF! Love that message

Is this the man himself? Wow! Nice to meet you as well! Thanks for checking out my reaction, great song!

This song still brings me to tears over 20 yrs later!

[@kirstenwyatt9675]

I remember when this song first came out, and just *bawling* because I felt *seen* Still cry every time I hear it.

[@miconis123]

You don't have to be my friend, just don't get your pleasure from my pain. Beautiful message

[@brendagrothier967]

I absolutely love Home Free supporting issues like this. That's why we love these men.

[@bernadette3069]

One of my all time favorite Mark Wills songs. Came out in 1998. Home Free and Mark sound amazing together. The woman next to Mark is his daughter Macey. She has a beautiful voice too. This song always makes me emotional because I'm almost 50 and have been bullied my whole life including from my own family. And I have a 10 year old daughter who is autistic and she deals with bullying too. This song is so needed right now. Like J-Hope from BTS says in his song Equal Sign "Hate will paralyze your mind, got to see the other side. It cost you nothing to be kind."

[@eetienne9158]

I purple you!

Peace, Love, Stay Strong!!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

I HATE BULLYING! This is why we love Homefree ❤️

[@mjackson780]

Another one of Home Free's great songs was a colab with Billy Gilman's "One Voice". Also "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with Peter Hollen.

[@leslieoneal4464]

I think you were thinking about "Everybody Walking This Land". 👍❤ Definitely another great song with a great message!

[@babyfry4775]

Such a sweet song and powerful message. HF and Mark did a great job. The actors were so cute. Be kind to one another. Good reaction Dave🥰

[@ashleymendoza28]

This song has always made me cry, I’ve definitely lived this song. I’ve always been made fun of for being sick, I was homeless and looked down on… the message of this song is so beautiful. Dave, I love your reactions, you’re always spot on!

[@disney4real]

Thank you for such a wonderful reaction!! This song never fails to tear me up. 21 Pineapples is the young man’s business, I will be buying a shirt for support and they are so cool! 🤗❤️

From the day the original song came out, I can't get through listening to it without crying my eyes out... Masterpiece By the way, that entire album was amazing. Love Mark Wills

So beautiful. Home Free did a wonderful job with this. One of my absolute favorite songs.

You’re such a beautiful soul, Dave. It’s appreciated!🌹

[@usmadgirl3074]

Great reaction & comments, Dave! I don't think anybody knew this was Anti-Bully month. This is a beautiful song with a powerful message & Mark & Home Free made it even more amazing than when Mark originally did it in 1998!🤗&😘from SE Tennessee!😊

What a wonderful smile came over your face when the 2 Downs burst into laughter on the front step. My daughter and granddaughter have both worked with Downs children and both my children had Downs in their mainstream classes and they are the LOVLIEST of people, very special. Nana Karen UK

[@creationsbychancecan]

One of my favorite songs with a great message. Bullying is never OK. It is cool to be kind. Thanks for sharing this one

[@unity1016]

Everybody Walkin This Land - Love it!!

[@kylesummers1565]

Great song, great cover!! I have never tolerated bullies. Suffered a little for it, but it was/is worth it. We are not to judge. Peace, Love!!

[@nanadeborah8717]

This song always makes me cry. Kudos to Jennalee for her artistic interpretation in American Sign Language. I've been signing for 44 years. My daughters have Usher's Syndrome. They were born deaf and retinitis pigmentosa was diagnosed when they were 5 yrs and 10 years old. It has taken most of their vision now. When they were young,I would put the speakers face down on the floor so they could feel the music and then sign the songs to them. They gained an appreciation for music. Both took adaptive modern dance. Thank you Dave for your heartfelt comments.

[@williambrooks276]

Dave you didn't rant you spoke from your heart and we were feeling everything you were saying in our hearts! Great Reaction from the WHAT IT IS HOMIE!! Love you Dave and thank you for your wonderful channel and spreading positivity with it!

[@smilingphoenix]

This was always one of my go-to songs for middle school.

[@NinJenna]

My dude! You have an amazing voice! That woman at the end is Mark Wills' daughter. I believe he wrote this song 20 years ago for her. 🥰

[@dorothygarner9375]

Awesome reaction, Dave! I ordered a couple of shirts from 21 Pineapples after I saw the video the first time. Mark Wills has an awesome voice, and so does his daughter. So proud of Home Free and the way they remind people of the important things in life.

[@JustinDoesASMR25]

Mark wills is a legendary country singer he’s wrote songs for years even his greatest hit 19 something

[@JoanN63]

A beautiful collaboration. Mark Wills is a great singer. And then my favorite group Home Free in the background sounds fabulous and heartbreaking. A beautiful song and video with a sad subject and important message. I know what bullying is. Not by children, but by the teachers. My father taught me never to show your weakness. So I didn't tell anyone. I let it go and thought I could handle it. But I developed a fear of failure and inferiority complex about it. Fortunately, I had and have very dear family and friends around me, who unconsciously dragged me through it. It was only when I was 57 years old that I went to therapy for it. It's so good that it's getting attention. Because bullying has to end. Think about what you're doing to someone like that.

[@webdar55]

I could listen to you talk all day. You should be in radio with that voice!

[@kareng1894]

Thank you ^_^

[@jamespauldelashmit2173]

I also Love the "Signing" that the young lady is doing for a major part of this video!!!

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

Everyone walking this land is the one you were thinking of I believe, Undivided is another great message song

[@cheryljohnson733]

Mark Wills wrote the song and he's a legend in country music. Love this song and message.

[@lauragreen5622]

I agree about customer service. It teaches humility and people skills.

[@greeneyes92061]

Released July 1998, I was almost 37, married almost 18 years, had 4 sons 12, 15, 16 and 17. Having three in high school and one in middle school. We dealt with some bullying. Mostly a lot of insecurities in the teen years….oh my! Whenever this song came on the radio, the volume got turned up and I told me sons to listen to the words, really listen. I do believe that it did have an impact on them. Sometimes it takes someone else to say what Momma & Daddy are trying to say. Today my “boys” are 36, 39, 40 and 41. They have all grown into respectful and respected men. I’m definitely not saying that they were or are perfect. But it’s music/songs like this that have a massive and long lasting impact. I tear up every time I hear it. ❤️

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I think you might mean it creates a false idea of perfection or ideal beauty. No one is perfect and that is ok. Get used to that. Stop judging people by impossible standards that can never be achieved. Just be kind. Home Free fully believes this and spreads that love everywhere they can. This is why we love them.

[@renegilbertson9737]

God bless you My friend 💯❤️✌️

[@cushlah389]

Yup I agree. Customer service or volunteer service of any kind, is a great learning curve.

[@rebeccapass701]

I cried like a baby the first time I heard this song.

[@ishort0967]

The fact that you were able to not be over affected by being bullied tells me you had a lot of love and support at home…it’s where it all begins to avoid “making” bullies…and yes…customer service has taught me sooo much about human nature…and working in the food industry really honed my time management skills…the lady singing is Mark’s daughter…I’ve heard he wrote the song for her a long time a go…the 2 kid actors evidently do have their own TikTok accounts…and social media is such a double edge sword..bringing information while establishing unrealistic expectations on boy boys and girls…Thanks for the reaction…🤗

[@marciaramirez3791]

Beautiful reaction, thank you. The young man in the video is the CEO of '21 Pineapples'.

Awesome song! I worked customer service for 18 years. Teaches humility as well❤

[@juliamangan9475]

I love this song because of the message. This video was a good representation of the bullying that happens daily in some people's lives. I recommend you watch Mark Wills' original video.

[@waregl72]

Mark Wills was one of the most underappreciated singers of 90's Country. He had some great songs and could do either the traditional style or the more poppy country style. Always really liked his stuff.

[@jackjones4864]

Amen brother..Love this!!

In Denmark it’s anti bullying day the 10th of October. I like your reaction and I love what Home Free are doing with this song❣️

[@tammyree6200]

I've been a Mark Wills fan since his first single "Jacobs Ladder" came out. Have even had a few opportunities to work with him and he is as kind and geniune as he appears. This is one of my favorites from him and Home Free has given it life once again. Would love to see you react to more Mark Wills songs! 💞

[@laoaganlester1728]

Mark Wills is the original singer of the song Don't Laught at Me in released in the 90's. Infact, it has a music video.

[@terrisalser7721]

I always thought tim would sound great singing a mark wills song. This song was always one of my favorite and imagine my surprise to see this. I think they sound great together

[@firefighterchick]

Mark Willis is the artist of this song in 1998, I believe. He's a Country artist worth checking out.

[@jamespauldelashmit2173]

Dave, It's nice to hear people that sing on key and can really dance and keep time and rhythym?!!! I'm glad that GOD won't hold it against us when we don't sing exactly on key, as long as we do things to Please and Honor HIM!!!

[@texadian339]

Dave, that's all because you are the BEST among us.

[@dananddiana2]

The woman that comes in and sings along with Mark is his daughter.

[@blairkimberlin3447]

the song that had a similar theme was One Voice with billy gilman about self harm. the song with multiple people mouthing the lyrics was Everybody Walking This Land about the divisive culture in our society

[@cmitchell7347]

Was looking forward to your reaction to this, Dave. Wasn't aware of Mark Wills or the song prior to Home Free posting this video. Great collab helping to bring awareness, although, it's unfortunate that there even needs to be an 'Anti-Bullying' month. :( Given how many of us can relate, this has inspired conversation and, for those who view it, to share painful memories and experiences. BTW, one reactor indicated that the featured young man has a huge TikTok following (I don't do TT) and is supposedly the CEO of '21 Pineapples.' Good on him. ETA: have seen mention that the woman in blue singing with Mark is his daughter.

[@chrismorin1318]

This song has always been heartwrenching and thought provoking. I think the sing you're thinking of is Everybody Walkin This Land. And they also did One Voice ft Billy Gilman for mental health awareness 2 years ago. I think you'd like the original video to this song as well. It's hard to believe it's nearly 25 years old. Another Mark Wills song that'll grab you by the emotions is Wish You Were Here. And, yes, once again Home Free has put an important message out in front of people, drawing attention to the bullying that still happens way too often. As always, no egos here. The music, the message are the important part. I'm always glad to hear your thoughts on your reactions. Thank you! ❤

[@jake91405]

Preach!

[@darrylmoreland1263]

Love your reaction , thats Mark's daughter . Your in customer service , as i am you know no matter what some customers/clients its never enough . Just like a school zone i pass every morning. 8 year kids walking speed limit is 20mph , her in Texas , how many people do you personal believe drive 20 mph . With very young kids walking 5 feet from the road . Think god my kids are grown now but the number is very very low . My point is if everyone had a good home , a car money in the bank equally . Would we all be the same or knowing what you do about your customers some want more because they are better then you . And that this worlds problem . Love your reaction , love listening to you life stories we had some same issues and im glade to know im not alone . Love you brother . We all perfect wings would be great !

[@loisgrohmann9091]

I think the other song you are thinking of is Walking this Land.

[@catherinegee2741]

The female was Mark Wills daughter.

[@takingtimewithtricia]

Powerful song. I've been bullied in school and by family. But I try to remember, that's not my problem. I I have worked customer service for many years. Yes, I agree, everyone should experience working customer service. We go through a lot. I have so many stories . Thank you

[@staceysmith8173]

The lady standing next to Mark is his daughter. This is an original by Mark Wills

[@tarjaikola]

Loved your reaction!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

That young lady is Mark Wills daughter...I love this song and used to listen to Mark's music back in the day. Dave, when I was in 8th grade I was bullied so bad I even attempted suicide one day after school. Growing up me, was not always fun

[@Gizmopup2011]

So beautiful. We need to show the light to the dark and love to the hate. Be the bigger person. When it comes down to it, WE ALL need love and acceptance. 😊

Some other good songs by Mark Wills are -- Wish You Were Here, The Last Memory, 19 Something. Thanks for your reaction.

[@xWARMACH1N3]

Great commentary spot on

[@vkinney2000]

Awesome reaction Dave. Everything you said is so true. I have worked in the customer service industry for quite some time & it's true that everyone should be exposed to that type of work. If you pay attention to people, you can tell the truly kind & considerate people from the phonies. Keep up the great work.

[@christinadowdican3268]

I think the song your talking about is “Everybody Walking This Land”great reaction to a beautiful song. I think the young lady singing with Mark is hi s daughter? Maybe?

[@lsu52frog]

Everybody Walking This Land

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Mark Wills brought this song out in 1998. The guys always know what we need to hear. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song. No I believe that is Mark's daughter from what I heard.

[@Jennifer-xr2xf]

I work customer service as well as Alzheimer's units for a long time I will tell you what you said about working customer service and being in service of people is correct because those people can be so cruel the customers can be so cruel and it's heartbreaking especially when something happens that is out of your control I appreciate your reaction to this video I just caught it over a year from a year ago I'm so sorry about not catching it sooner but I do appreciate you

[@mgrega9345]

I think you’re thinking of Everybody Walkin’ This Land at the end

[@christyeckert3115]

This is a beautiful song but hits hard. I think it's a song this world needs right now.

[@mgrega9345]

Bullying has always been an issue and social media doesn’t help much. It doesn’t hurt to like somebody’s photo or DM someone sharing a compliment. Stay humble, spread some love, and expect nothing in return ❤

[@denicesanders4586]

I think most of us in some way know what being bullied is like. I am thankful I no longer worry or have a care about what others may think of me. Being a child of God makes life complete.

[@renegilbertson9737]

Yes Christian ❤️

[@scottdarden3091]

I'm not on TikTok, but my understanding from others is the young man and young girl are TikTok celebrities. The song you're thinking of, is Everyone Walking This Land

[@toryistatertot5394]

As a severely broken person I can say retail almost ruined me. It made me more judgmental and suspicious of everyone. Most people should work retail though. WIDD, Every once in a while your ethics and humanity come through. You are an inspiration and an excellent role model for younger generations. Thank you for all you do.

[@johntucker4296]

I didn't know the girl in the yellow dress is signing and in the video the one girl is teaching signing, too (I think).

I wish people would judge other people by what they *do* and not by how they look or what they "say". :) Honestly, the only thing that matters to me about the people I meet and interact with is the quality of the thoughts between their ears and the spirit of kindness that exists within their hearts. :D Nothing else matters.
