This is 1985 Dire Straights song about a dying soldier talking to his fellow soldiers during the 1982 Falklands War. This was released for the Veterans Day holiday in 2021. Home free does all kinds of songs from serious, upbeat, inspirational,Christmas, & comudic. You have just begun your journey with Home Free they have around 200 videos for you to explore.

This arrangement was actually written and first performed by Club for Five, a Finnish acapella group.

I like that you can easily make out all the lyrics, which I cannot say of Dire Straits' original. Of course, this video was done in the USA for our Veterans Day (Remembrance Day to Brits and Canadians), but it really applies to any men or women who reluctantly go to war.

Thank you for the kind words and information

This song was inspired by the Falklands War, which was going on when Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler wrote the song. The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and the UK over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claimed rights to. The islands are British territories, but in 1982 Argentina tried to reclaim one of the islands. Britain reclaimed their territories, but lost 258 soldiers in the conflict. In this song, Mark Knopfler sings about a soldier who is dying on the battlefield, surrounded by his comrades, who remain by his side as he slips away. It's a look at the folly of war and the plight of those who fight them. "We've got just one world but we live in different ones," he told the BBC. "It's just stupid, it really is. We're just foolish to take part in anybody's war."

I have 'joked' that the BEST group is the one I'm listening to at the moment. This particular song is one of Home Free's best and most mesmerizing (my opinion).

"Brothers in arms" is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard, either in the original Dire Straits' version or in this Home Free's rendition. ❤ And I believe it's also one of the most beautiful and powerful songs from Home Free. 🙂 A cappella music can have many different faces and nuances. There are groups that prefer deeply emotional songs, others that are all about fun and cartoons, others that are kinda "classical" and others that are more modern... And then there are groups lie Home Free, or Voiceplay (the two groups are friends, BTW), or The Bass Gang, that can take pretty much EVERY song and make it their own... In very different ways, and each one in its style. This is why I don't like to compare groups: they're just all GREAT, each one of its particular kind of greatness. 🙂 Home Free is one of those groups with whom you just can't fail: pick any song from their catalogue, and it will be remarkably good. 🙂 The same could be said for other groups, it all depends on your taste. 🙂 As said, I prefer not to compare and enjoy all of those groups for what they bring to the table. They're all so much better than I would achieve in 7 lives. I love all of them... Although I listen to some more than others, because of my particular taste. But one can appreciate skills and talent and dedication wherever he meets it, can't he? 🙂 I enjoyed your reaction. And I'd like to see you watch the original version by Dire Straits. 🙂 See you next time|

We have been loving the journey

You may want to check out "Helplessly Hoping", "So Long Dixie, or "In the Blood" for a more serious emotion. For funny or upbeat you might like "The Butts Medley", "Let the Music Play", "Country Fried Pop with a guest appearance at the end by THE ROOSTER". Closer to Christmas they have some killer songs like "Do You Hear What I Hear' that will blow you away as well a collaboration with Kenny Rogers on a Christmas Gospel song that will have your hands clapping and your toes tappin' "Children Go Where I Send Thee" and many more seasonal favorites, some including a former member and founder of the group Chris Rupp (Adam Rupp,the beat boxer's brother), who retired and found Chance to take his place. They cover every genre from Opera to Blue Grass. have fun discovering the gems you will fins around every corner of the Home Free rabbit hole. 😊

Tim did a duet with Peter Hollens of the "Sound of Silence". This arrangement was done by "Club for Five", a Swedish (I think) quintet that allowed HF to use.

We need to hear that one

Tim has done SoS with Peter Hollins. Also, since Tim amazed you in this so much take a go at Home Free doing Mayday and let him completely blow your socks off along with Chance.

Mad respect to you

Home Free, are excellent. So blessed are we to have them sing. The other group you may have been thinking of is Pentetonix.. personally although I heard them first, I prefer the voices of Home Free.

We will have to check them out 😊

This version of Brothers in Arms is actually a cover of a cover. The original was of course done by Dire Straits... then this five part harmony version was firs performed by a Finnish A Capella group, Club for Five. Their bass Tuukka is one of the best bassist in the world. Tim asked Tuukka if HF could use their arrangement. Tuukka sent it to Tim. Tim added the "echo" sequence, and Tuukka could not praise it enough.

You should really try DONT LAUGH AT ME ! October is Anti bullying day Also try ONE VOICE ! They did this one for Mental Health Awareness! Thank you for your reaction, and a bigger thank you for your service guys !

Thank you for the recommendation 😊

The "AH" sections are to me, a living Pipe Organ. Any time Adam Rupp is lined up to sing, and not beatbox... you KNOW the harmonies are going to be even more outstanding.
