REACTION TO Home Free - Brothers In Arms 

These guys are so overlooked & TALENTED. This is a cover of a Dire Straits 1984 song, paying tribute to the fallen Royal Marines, Royal Navy, Royal Army & Royal Air Force service personnel killed in the 1982 Falklands War

Something besides Country Can’t Stop The Feeling, End of The Road, Try Everything, I Swear, Unchained Melody, When A Man Loves A Woman,American Pie I know there’s more but can’t think of them right now

Tim and Chance have several songs where they share the lead. This is an anti-war song about the Falkland Islands war. It's refreshing to see how well they all work together. In a newer one Ain't Going Down, Tim and Austin are paired and Rob and Chance also sing in unison.

Elegant, haunting, simply beautiful.

This is another example of Home Free being unapologetically patriotic. They released this for Veteran's Day. A very solemn song and it was done so respectfully. Not just to our veterans, but to veterans worldwide. I love how they never "stay in their lane" they take up the whole road! Sad, Sappy, Silly, they do it all with equal talent and ease! Thanks for another wonderful reaction! ❤

So beautifully sung that touches your soul so deeply. The beautiful voices of Chance and Tim. the bass, but also the harmonies and background. Like a choir, or even a church organ. Really amazing

They can all sing and all take the lead depending on the song. Austin and Rob are the tenors. Chance is the baritone and Tim (lead here) is the bass. Tim does have a 5 octave range so as low as he sang here he can sing up with the tenors (not kidding). This song lent itself to the basses I think. It’s a rendition of the Dire Straits song in the 80’s. That was guitar driven where this is voice driven. It’s so hauntingly beautiful. There aren’t many songs where basses lead so I loved this. Good reaction.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. No perk. Just pure vocal harmonies. And so deep forward for a change. They really lucked out getting Chance who is so versatile in the high and very low.

Masterpiece from HF!! Ty for your reaction!

I’m so glad you came back to Home Free! I do wish you reacted to them a little more often, but I know you want to be diverse with your subs. I totally understand. When you asked if they reacted to anything Alternative, do you mean Alternative genre, or just different genres in general? They haven’t done any Alternative music in that genre, but they have covered many different genres. They also have done some short versions of some Rock songs, such as Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing”, and also recently they did a really short snippet of Queen’s ‘Fat Bottomed Girls” which all of these I mentioned are incredible. You will be pleasantly surprised! If you want to see them sing some of their original music, check out some of their tracks from their album Dive Bar Saints. There’s a title track, which carries the chill vibe through the whole album. “Catch Me If You Can” has a Mumford type style to it (one of my favorites on their album), and Tim and Austin each co-wrote 2 songs on the album.

I have always loved this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural breathy bass was awesome & so were all the guys doing 5 part harmonies. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there.

HF does make us laugh and smile, but they can bring on serious emotions as in this one. You might enjoy their Country Fried Pop where they take many popular pop songs and Make them their own. It’s hilarious!! Enjoy your reactions!

You should hear “YOURS” and “I CAN’T OUTRUN YOU” “CASTLE ON THE HILL” and “SNOW GLOBE”. ( Austin Brown - High Tenor, Rob Lundquist - Low Tenor, Adam Chance - Baritone, Tim Foust - Bass, Adam Rupp - Beatboxer / Tenor )

You asked for "other than country" recommendations, so here ya go: "When a Man Loves a Woman" (Percy Sledge//Michael Bolton) "End of the Road" (Boyz 2 Men) "Can't Stop the Feeling" (Trolls/Justin Timberlake - has a sick rhythm section breakdown you'll love!) "Love Train" (O'Jays) "Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On" (Ed Sheeran//Marvin Gaye) "Castle on the Hill" (Ed Sheeran) "Try Everything" (Zootopia/Shakira) "Wake Me Up" (Aviici) "How Great Thou Art" (5-part harmonies will blow your mind!!! 🤯) "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills, and Nash cover with such harmonies and precision it's stunning!) "Everybody Walking This Land" (Paul Cauthan) - Watch Tim's message at the end! "Born in the USA" (Bruce Springstein) "In the Blood" (I suppose this one could be considered country, but it's got gorgeous harmonies and great lyrics) "Dive Bar Saints" (Home Free original and great song!) "Blue Ain't Your Color" (HF took this country song by Keith Urban and did it with a Motown/Temptations vibe!! Very cool, plus you get to see their great choreography! Haha) "Unchained Melody" (Love the backup harmonies! Great video!) Etc, etc, etc... Shall I go on?? Lol Yes, they do more than country. 😉❤ After those, there's another 140+ to listen to, including an extensive Christmas catalog. 👍 Click on anything. I've never heard any "bad" HF song!

if you hadn't had a chance to realize it yet, Home Free does country, rock, pop and some very serious material. They all sing lead on different songs and they're all terrific singers. The beatboxer (Adam Rupp) and his brother Chris (who has since left the group and Adam Chance joined) founded the group. Adam Rupp has twice won the world championship in beatboxing.

This song was on Home Free's Land of The Free album released last summer.

No matter how many times I hear this it still gives me chills. Tim's low bass can be felt through your very soul. Love that we get to here Adam sing as well. 🦋🎶💕🦋

Tim and Chance take the lead in What Is The World Coming To from the Dive Bar Saints Album. Its nice to hear them take the leads.

This song is so deep. Add to that Home Free's haunting harmony it just makes it such an unforgettable video.

One of their very best, just haunting. I'd recommend Champagne on a Beer Budget, an original and very fun one!

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...

The diverse genre of music they bring to the table is simply amazing. This group is amazing in the diversity of their vocal range. Between the 5 members They have two guys that can make bass come alive, there are at least 3 or 4 that can deliver the baritone range, 4 with the Tenor II range and 3 with the Tenor I range. They sing a very wide diversity of music genre that include gospel, country, patriotic, rock n roll, blues and they are superb with their video interpretations for the songs they perform. They have well over 100 covers and also have original songs they have written too. They don't put out junk. The beat boxer Adam Rupp is an amazing artist that you will find in about 90% of their releases. Each of the singers could have a solo career in their own right. They are simply that good!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole. I discovered and started listening to them about 2 years ago and rarely listen to any other group. They keep things very interesting routinely releasing a new cover or song many times throughout the year.

For a crazy run through the talent of Home Free, go from “The Butts mix”, to Ain’t goi’n down till the Sun Comes Up, to My Church, to Grand ma’ Got Run Over Bye a Rain Deer, to Mary did you Know, and most of their Christmas songs, to How Great thou Art. Funny to tear jerker, anything, they will always please.

Can't stop the feeling, Fishin in the Dark/Boondocks Mashup

This is a hauntingly, powerful and beautiful song

Nice reaction! Yes, you should listen to Home Free more!😊 Some songs other than "country" are "Workin for a Livin" (you can learn their names with that video), "Can't Stop the Feeling", "Try Everything", "Helplessly Hoping", "When a Man Loves a Woman", "End of the Road" & a HF original "Catch Me If You Can".😊

"We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms." The original version is by Dire Straits, written during the Falkland War. That uses stunning guitar play by Mark Knopfler.

Thank you so much for the wonderful reaction tone of my favorite HF songs! It is really appreciated!🤗❤️

It’s a lot of fun, watching someone discover Home Free. Called a country band anyone would get the wrong idea. Hearing some of their lighthearted (OK, perhaps country leaning songs) in the beginning, then hearing “Brothers in Arms” or some of their more serious songs , watching a face go from expecting to laugh to amazement at the complexity of heart rendering and soul piercing harmonies and meanings, is like watching a flower discover sunshine. Welcome!

Tim, Austin, Rob, Chance. Adam

I'll Say it once I'll say it a million times over... These men and their talent their vocals everything about them is absolutely brilliant. Have you reacted to the song In the Blood... oh that will give you Goosebumps as well as this one..

Tim Foust (bass, 2nd from rt.) has an incredible 5 oct. range. He sings with ease from sub bass to 2nd. tenor. Look up “Misty Mountains” by Peter Hollens + Tim Foust. All singing is by them, and them only! Peter is known for multi-track harmony’s with himself. Stay for the last note, and prepare for chills.

This song gets me every time.

I'm watching this on Memorial Day weekend. ❤

Enjoyed your reaction, thank you. May I suggest Home Free's cover of "May Day". It has a few surprises you may enjoy.

Dire Straits is the original recording of the song. As a veteran, this song brings a tear every time I listen to it. Salute to my brothers in arms, who lay in foreign mist covered mountain cemetaries.

You might want to check out their Boys2Men End of the Road, or for fun do their Butts Remix. They also cover Huey Lewis’ Workin’ for a Livin’. Adam Rupp has a lot of fun with his “no-Monica” in that, and the beginning of the video shows who each person is

Great reaction to a very great song. This is a very moving song. Some of their non-country songs you might like are: R&B. END OF THE ROAD cover Boyz2Men, SOUL; WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN cover Percy Sledge & LOVE TRAIN cover O’Jays. ROCK: AMERICAN PIE cover Don McLean, GOSPLE/INSPIRATIONAL: HOW GREAT THOU ART and GO REST HIGH ON THE MOUNTAIN cover Vince Gill. Thanks for your reaction and looking forward to more Home Free. You have a blessed day

This was EPIC

As far as alternative try "The Butts Remix" a huge fan favorite as well as "Country Fried Pop Medley" Happy listening.

Very powerful and moving rendition. These guys are great whether they're being serious or having a bit of fun. Such incredible voices and harmonies. :)

Great back ground for this song.

You need a laugh after this powerful emotional song!! lol. Did you see their video of Ain't Going Down Til the Sun Comes Up? It's on their Facebook site as they could not get it on RU-vid. But people have found and are reacting to it. It's crazy good and fun!!! I also had such fun with their video of Workin For a Living. (Chance, baritone, leads and super fun!) Take care.

WORKIN FOR A LIVIN BY HOME FREE-FUN

I love them doing this song. But long long ago, Dire Straights did the original song. Mark Knopfler wrote it and to hear him on the guitar is so incredible. This one is definitely breathtaking from Home Free tho❣️

I hope you are getting lots of requests for "When A Man Loves A Woman" I didn't see your to that in your Playlist. I just started watching you and love your videos! Thank you ❣️

How about Can't Stop The Feeling?

Thank you ^_^

A fantastic cover of the equally moving Dire Straits song (which I can't recommend enough - but bring a tissue)

Adam can do a lot more than beatbox. He is a great singer, too.

.I think this is one of their best songs. The one I would love to see your reaction to is May Day. The way they switch up their vocal range is cool. I love Chance and Tim tak8ng the lead in this song. Thanks for the great reaction

You may want to consider their collab with Lee greenwood on god bless the USA Also their collab with Don McLean on American Pie

😎♥️

Watch. In the Blood, American Pie, Can’t Stop the Feeling, etc.

I would love to hear them sing this over Dire Straits original. The instrumental and the end would be a spectacular finish.

Both Tim and Chance do bass this song you're getting hit with double Bass. Tim hitting the lowest note while Chance is a 1note higher hits yah in the gut when they do this. Also Tim and Chance make the sounds of the bass guitar. Anyway it's always surprising the talent of Home Free.

Request unchained melody by Home Free please.

Non-country? How about "Can't Stop the Feeling" or perhaps "Try Everything"?

This is a video in which you should Not interrupt with critiques. It's disrespectful to to the Message. 🇺🇲

Feels like being inside a huge pipe organ.

I Tale.t beyond d belief

Listen to the original Dire Straits version .

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. I get that some people want to focus on their vocal ability, but this is one time that, you should have focused on the message of the lyrics. I'm giving this video a down vote, even though I understand my comment and interaction with your video, i.e. up or down vote, helps you. Just know, I'm not happy with your reaction.

Seriously, try Mayday.

Mayday When a Man lives a Woman

Now imagine, they would have sung the solos, too. That was a huge miss

Good enough but Dire Straits Brothers in Arms is better, and Mark Knopfler wrote the song about an actual armed conflict. I's so apropos to the war in Ukraine and the brutality in Israel and Palestinians today. Listen to his plaintiff guitar. It makes your heart bleed. Knopler's version is raw,.

So beautifully sung that touches your soul so deeply. The beautiful voices of Chance and Tim. the bass, but also the harmonies and background. Like a choir, or even a church organ. really great
