One of the reasons I love Home Free, is because they are not afraid to be goofy, but then when it's a subject they believe in, they can produce something like this that is so heartfelt and beautiful.

Appropriate comments on a broadly meaningful song! Veterans are to be revered!

This is the same group that gave you belly laughs with their cover of Life is a Highway. They are incredibly vocally talented.

Their most hauntingly beautiful performance. I extend my sincere appreciation and respect to our veterans. Thank you for the Home Free reactions. Their song " Everybody Walkn' This Land"also gives a message of unity. Especially, what Tim says at the end when the video is over.

I was going to suggest the exact same song!

It is sung from the perspective of a dying soldier

Speechless...that's what this hauntingly beautiful song will do to you! When it started....I'm thinking...oh this is going to knock their socks off...I guess it did! This just shows that there's absolutely nothing these men can't sing!

This is the first time I have seen you guys at a loss for words. This is a very sobering song, and Home Free really managed to pull at those emotions! Thank you for reacting to the beautiful tribute to veterans.

I think they've done Mark Knopfler proud.

You all obviously felt this deeply. It's a difficult one to take in. Respect to your lack of words. Thank you.

Goose bumps everytime. Hauntingly beautiful.

I hail from a military family. My dad, brothers, late husband and others served and fought. As a veteran myself, I greatly appreciate our fallen, our past and present veterans. Who knows where we'd be now if not for veterans

AMEN Grandmaimhungry and thank you all for your service 🙏 God bless you all!!

Tim and Chance silhouettes against the window are deliberately ghostly, a soldier’s fading spirit… also reminiscent of the POW-MIA remembrance flag. For me, after Chance’s verse when the harmonies go all over the place, it echoes the chaos of the battlefield. Masterfully done by Home Free, and a great reaction from you all. Thank you.

I could really tell this one hit you guys hard. Which is entirely understandable. It just wrecks me every time.😢. A true hymn to the fallen.

So hauntingly beautiful. Love Tim’s lows and he and Chance looked ghost like in the windows. Loved the echoes. One of my favorites of theirs. Yes, laugh or cry the music never suffers with these men. 😪🥲

They did an amazing job with this Dire Straits classic!

This deserves all kinds of awards

Yes!

This is in my top 5 of Home Free. It reminds me why as much as I love Voice Play, Home Free pulled me in first. You should try Everyone walking this land... it's another serious song. They also did a stunning rendition of "My County 'tis of Thee" And yeah, the world seems to have forgotten that you can not agree with everything and still respect and care for each other. Thank you to all our veterans and everyone that runs towards the danger instead of away.

Absolutely flawless performance. This arrangement was created by the Finnish group Club for Five who graciously allowed HF to use it. Their original version is quite different, because it includes both male and female voices and instruments. And the original from Dire Straits is so totally different that when I went to listen to it I thought I'd clicked on the wrong video. Both are worth a visit.

The bass for Club For Five beats Tim. Gorgeous tone.

A great adaptation of this song.

Excellent reaction! And thank you for your service to all the veterans and serving military and their families. Home Free did a hauntingly beautiful version of this song. If you guys enjoyed this message, please give Home Free's cover of Everybody Walkin this land a listen. And play all the way through the message at the end of the song (Tim speaking). Thank you for your reaction. Stay safe and healthy and have a blessed day!

Good, appropriate, somber reaction. HF released this video just before Veterans Day 2 yrs ago, and is a masterpiece by them. Mark Knopler of Dire Straits wrote this song in response to the Falkland War between UK and Argentina. Veterans Day, Armistice Day, Remembrance Day... "On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we will remember them." For a war to end all wars. (The Great War, now known as World War 1.) "We're fools to make war with our brothers in arms." (Mark Knopler)

This is such a powerful song. For me, not having instruments makes the song more impactful because you're really concentrating on the words. HF did a masterful job on this. One of their best. Thank you for your review, and for honoring our veterans.

Very hauntingly beautiful version of this song😢

Thank you for today's reaction. And I agree: unity or at least being together more than divided is desperately needed for in the world today.

I wouldn’t mind having this sung at my memorial. I don’t intend on having a funeral.

This song is all the more poignant as we face the possibility of entering any number of conflicts around the world. I think it sends a strong message of the futility of sending our sons (mine included) and daughters to fight and die when, in an alter universe, all we have to do is say no more and then go home.

They can make you laugh….and they can make you cry. Love this version. ❤

Such a Moving Song, Thank you for Reacting to This One

In my opinion, this is their masterpiece. Stunning

I didn't think I'd ever see all four of you speechless. The presentation was beautiful. The messages were NOT subtle - why DO we wage war on each other? And I think it was a very good tribute for Veteran's Day. If you watch Everybody Walking the Land and watch clear to the end, you will see Tim giving the exact sentiment of we're all more similar than different. It is something that HF lives by.

This one gets me every time.

Beautiful message and song. Thank you for the reaction.

Masterpiece ~ thanks guys. 🍟

This song was beautiful arrangment, but holy hell did this hit on a note that left me speechless and goosebumps. Great song, deep meaning, just beautiful.

This should be played Every Memorial day and Veterans day. This is a Masterpiece. When Chance sings the verse you did not desert me my Brothers in Arms 😢 it gets me every time

Every time I hear this song it touches my heart and breaks my soul.

It hit me hard, not going to lie.

What’s striking about “Brothers In Arms” is just how much songwriter Mark Knopfler manages to convey in a minimum of words. With startling efficiency, he inhabits the soul of a wounded soldier who muses on his surroundings and waxes philosophical as his life ebbs out. It seems likely that Knopfler had the Falklands War, which took place in 1982 between the United Kingdom and Argentina, in mind when he wrote the song. But by keeping specifics out of the narrative, he makes the song a timeless treatise on the senselessness of war.

Knopfler's brother served in the Falklands War, and this was a tribute to him. The arrangement was from a group in Scandinavia.

99% of the time when Adam is harmonizing or even has a small solo like in How Great Thou Art he stands almost motionless (almost as if he doesn't want to draw attention to himself). Now when he's beat boxing he can't seem to stand still even if it's just his hand that's moving. Even though I really like HF's version this is not a song I would listen to all the time and it never was. Great reaction guys.

This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Tim and Chance look like ghosts in front of that window. This is one of their best songs. Thank you to all the vets for their service.

Thank you for the reaction and thank you to all veterans. Your service is appreciated. ❤

Check out their original, patriotic song written by Tim, Land Of The Free.

My family has a long rich history in the American military. Several cousins retired after long careers. One cousin retired from the Navy and then joined the Air Force. My dad retired, after over 20 years in the Army, the taught as a civilian instructor for another 11 years. This is for them. How haunting is the bass line? You have to appreciate how hard it must have been for Tim to sing his bass lines softly. Think about the message. The location appears to be a stark empty warehouse/factory for impact.

It's appropriately solemn

Tim is a Basso Profundo.

I believe the meaning of brotherhood defined in these lyrics goes beyond the borders of any one country,, culture or belief, but extends to all players in all wars. True brotherhood is global. Home Free's choices seem to support this, and they know when to put aside the jokes and find joy in the simple things that all humankind share. Thank you for your reverence for this performance; it is masterful.

Finally! Sad but a necessary song!

Wonderful reaction, yall really gave the song the appreciation it deserves, Home Free did an amazing cover!

I wonder if the Veterans Day term from the battlefield with the same feelings. Nice reaction. For Veterans Day listen to Home Free’s “ traveling soldier”. Also listen to trace Atkins singing Arlington!

I cannot tell you how pleased I was when a lil birdie casually dropped that this reaction was on the way

@@thomasmacdiarmid8251 Memorial Day started after the Civil War. I think it's okay to add other soldiers from wars that come after.

I cry every damn time. Glad you reacted to this today. When all 5 sing, they sure can make a wall of sound.

Everybody talks about how low Geoff can get with subharmonics, I think Tim can get just as low with his growl technic. This really shows some of his talent.

Mark Knophler wrote this for a movie "Local Hero. "

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

The intent look on all your faces say it all!!! 😊

One of the defining characteristics of military service is that even those who fought one another find more kinship than they have with those who haven't serviced. "Brothers in Arms" resonates that the kinship. I recommend "Brothers" for another look at those relationships. The video is beyond funny & ridiculous, but the vocals are incredible.

Brilliant

Song originally by Dire Straits in the 80s about the Faulkland war. Amazing lyrics and incredible cover

This masterpiece always gets the reaction and discussion that Home Free (and of course Mark Knopfler) intended. Outstanding reaction, gentlemen.

One of their best ... moves me to tears every time !

This is a masterpiece! Speechless....

In Canada, Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day (if you've never read the poem "In Flanders Field", it's always prominent today, and wearing poppies is standard). This song is so hauntingly sad & evocative - no beatboxing, just amazing harmonies and singing. Incidentally Tim, Austin & friends do fund raising for at-risk veterans (excerpts of some of these are available on y/t).

A true HomeFree masterpiece to me. It gives me goosebumps every time and I also shed a tear or two. I come from a hugh military family and lost an uncle in WWII. Just want to thank all those veterans today, who served and sacrificed. Thanks for a great tribute on this hallowed day.🇺🇸⭐️

I think this version was actually better than the original by Dire Straits. I still get tears in my eyes every time I watch this.

This song was written by Mark Kopfler of Dire Straits, and tells the story of a dying British soldier during the Falklands War. That Home Free could perform this acapella is not only amazing, but truly captures the emotion of the original performance. Kudos to both for such a touching song and performance.

Thanks for this. Words fail me.

I've never seen your podcasts before, but I wanted to see you react to brothers in arms and I am sure you all appreciate the meaning of it, especially on Veterans Day. I feel Jerzeys pain in this and I'm sorry, our soldiers endured this everyday. Thank you for caring.

A masterpiece

Thank you for being reverent and respectful! I have many family members, immediate and not, who fought and died for our country: my uncle who flew B29's for the Army in WW2 and my cousin who flew PBY's for the Air Force in Korea! Thank you to you and yours and those you knew who served! "We're fools to make war with our brothers in arms!" I appreciate all of you for not going nuts when Tim Foust was hitting those low notes! You recognized the lyrics which were more important! Reverent and respectful to those who have fallen or are still with us! Thank you!

Heart-rending, solemn, and respectful. An anti-war song that respects all veterans.

Very moving 😢

Dire Straights originally did the song.

They sound like a church organ in this, to me.

Live DS versions on YT are much better ... and are by the original artist

I would encourage you to watch Celtic Thunder’s version of this song. In my opinion, far superior to this
