Walked into my husband's home office Friday afternoon. He was listening and listening again to this. He looked almost shocked. He was in the army and then the Navy. He was living the words and music. I didn't want to impose my feelings on him, so I backed out of the room. The echo makes you feel like your emotions are raw and rippling out and touching another. Beautifully sung.

Haunting, REVERENCE, fitting for the 100th Anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, for all those who gave their all.

My brothers, our MIA'S , my heroes forever brothers.

We cried when we heard this the first time, my father died an Air-force hero saving a young family. Home Free nailed it again!🇺🇸👍❤️

For as powerful as the lyrics are, the way Tim and Chance kept their tones breathy and gentle. And Tim's ability to sing so low and still inject such emotion into those low notes. Home Free has definitely released another thought provoking message video. They've once again brought an important conversation to the table. For those people that don't feel this in their very soul, you have my condolences. Thank you for your reaction, I've been checking all day to see when you'd hit this one! And don't feel like you're alone in having trouble trying to find words. Pretty much every reactor I've seen has had the same problem. Great reaction as always! 🙏❤❤

I have only two words to describe this = ethereal and haunting.

strange comment but... I love that austin and rob were only back ground and tim and chance were able to take the lead for the whole song. it shows the respect they all have for each others tallents.

To any veteran, active duty or military family members seeing this: If I were able to personally thank you for my freedom, it would never be enough. Your sacrifices mean so much to me. God bless you ❤️

I agree this is the most emotionally powerful song Home Free has ever done. Tim's deep, haunting voice. It almost sounds like he's whispering but so clearly, and emotionally. It cuts through to your heart. Add to that Chance's more vibrant part which just pops out at you. Then those harmonies and you have a masterpiece. To me, this is the best thing they have done to date. Thank you, for your reaction. I was waiting for it. I saw your comment under their video last night and got excited.

This is why we love Home Free they are not only great singers they are good people and show their love for our country and they show so much respect for all people I'm going to see them in 2 weeks can't wait

This was written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits about the Falkland Islands war between the UK and Argentina. He later said it was a tribute to soldiers everywhere. I tear up every single time I hear this version. It's so powerful!

Home Free took us to Church with harmonies in this. It was like I was listening to an organ playing.

I am a proud wife and mother of Army. This song with its vocals and lyrics hit so close to home. Only God above knows how close I came to losing my oldest in Afghanistan. I got chills and had tears running down my face. Thank you home free for this tribute and I pray some day we will all see their sacrifice as a special honor.

I could watch your reactions for home free anytime! ITS THE REAL EXPRESSIONS AND REACTIONS FOR ME!!

I like the use of light on them, it almost shined through them as if they were ghosts. This song was beautiful and I can understand why you are reaching for words. I can’t express what this song makes me feel.

If I had never heard the original, this would be even more heart rending. The simplicity of Mark Knopfler/Dire Straights’ original is stunning… the Home Free boys have given the song a whole new depth with the beauty and reverence of their rendition. Loving your channel btw.

Their version just emotes sad, longing emotions that tears are trying to fall. You spend most of the song fighting back tears and trying to listen to the fabulous vocals and harmonies. Just a wonderful version from Home Free but we have all come to expect that , but they always deliver!

This sounds so much richer because all five of them were singing. There wasn’t any percussion in it, just beautiful harmonies. I think this is the best song they’ve ever done

There are No Words.. They are that Amazing.. every hair on my body is standing up.. This is why I love Home Free so much.. Their talent is out of this world..🏡🆓🏡🍟💓💓💓💓

We're all lucky to have reactors with the knowledge to lead us through these songs.

You can see through them when they stand in front of the windows because they are singing from the grave. Masterful.

Note Adam Rupp is singing thru the whole thing adding another part.

I can’t even think about what to write…. But your reaction is a fitting tribute to their excellence. They outdid themselves this time, both vocally, and with the video.

''We are fools to war on our brothers in arms''...

The most powerful touching tribute to the men and women around the world who fought for their country !

Tim's low notes make your soul quiver. It doesn't know whether to run and hide or drop to its knees in reverence.

The transparent look of Tim and Chance before the windows was evocative of the demise of the singers with their last breath.

Original is Dire Straits with amazing harmony and guitar. This gives the same goosebumps.

If Home Free gets any better, I dont know if I can stand it. What a powerful song! Great reaction.

The music they are creating is so gorgeous it actually makes your heart hurt and the message tears at your soul. Home Free are the most human humans there are. I love them more and more all the time.

many thanks to Mark Knopfler for writing such an emotional, powerful piece of music, performed well in this cover........"we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms"........amen

Rob is the middle glue that brings those harmonies so beautifully together with his. That bass, along with their harmony sounds like an organ playing in an empty room that echoes. Haunting.

Always enjoy your reactions but this combination of the song, harmonies plus your reaction created a reaction in me I didn’t expect. I agree Tim was perfect to take the lead. The deepness of his voice provided that effect of haunting and solemn.

It's the Song of a dying Soldier.

"Green light" to pause. We choose to go on this ride with you family.

If you can temporarily forget base and harmony is the fact they use a perfect delivery so you do not miss a single word of a powerful message.

It's two of them with deep voices

Hauntingly beautiful vocals from the guys from Home Free. Tim almost looks 'ghost' like standing in front of the window. Delivered with such emotion and respect for the fallen men & women and for those of them still serving. I love bass singers....and Tim is one of the best along with Avi Kaplan. Such a depth of sound sends chills through me. Nick I love your facial expressions and analysis of the performance here.

Amazing harmonies!!! Beautiful tribute to soldiers! Great reaction! I love Home Free😊

All I could think of listening & watching this video was the futility of war in any country. There are no winners only losers. I have always loved this song by Dire Straits but think Home Free did an excellent version of this song. Tim's natural bass was awesome & so were all the guys doing 5 part harmonies.

It's very rare that a song starts off with a bass solo but this really worked for this song. Those harmonies gave off such an eerie reverence and just captures your soul. These guys are so incredibly talented. Loved this song, loved the message and Love Home Free!

I've watched 10+ reaction videos on this song, and most didn't have words to express what they felt.

It makes me feel like we are hearing from the other side. What a performance. Yes, Chances' voice was beautiful relief after Tim's bass verse. Tim had me trembling.

War is hell, and the wounds go far deeper than the body. I cannot wait for the day when all war will cease, and in men's hearts will only be peace. This song bring tears every time.

I waited until your reaction to watch the video. So I experienced at the same time as you. Exactly! My goose bumps had goose bumps! To bring Tim in right off the bat with that low tone commanded your attention! This feeling your feeling is their voice moving your spirit deep inside your bones. What a beautiful arrangement they created. So reverent and soulful. A very spiritual and moving piece of music. Thank you for your awesome reaction!

This is just such a haunting song... Tim's bass, the lighting, the harmonies and the message. My eyes are watering.

You always said they only needed grass to stand on. I say they only need an open space 🥰🎼! Great reaction! This leaves leaves you breathless.

The way they sing it, it’s almost like a hymn.

Probably their most impactful video.

Your reaction really touched my heart. What a powerful song that honors or men and women in uniform.

When I hear this song they take me to so many lost friends my brothers in arms.

You hit it perfectly ,it is an honor to the military

The sound is like a human pipe organ ….. and the use of their images ghosted against the windows were the panes were visible through them was masterful. I showed this to a Marine ….. who had to walk outside for a few moments

This makes me cry every time. My favorite they have ever done. ❤

I knew you would love this one. I watched it this morning and thought if you when the harmonies hit. And what a change-having the basses sing and the tenors covering the background vocals. Really enjoyed your reaction, thank you💖

I've been looking for your review of this Home Free gem. It was so haunting and beautiful. The harmonies will send you over the edge.

Sounds like a choir of angels to me.

I'm listening to this the day b4 Veteran's day... for the first time.. I love Home Free so much... this is blowing me away. Chills and tears... WOW

I weep as I listen to this song in rememberance of my brothers and sisters that never made it home from combat and for the sacrifices they and their families made, that the rest of us, as U.S. citizens, get to reap the benefits of, freedom, liberty, and love of our respective dieties. May "ALL" of the warriors everywhere, who fought and died for that, which they believed in, rest in peace and know, that as Brothers in Arms, regardless of region, religion, or politics, you shall never be forgotten. PEACE!!!!!

Haunting is the word or feeling you're looking for....

deep in hearts and deeper in souls

Listen again, again, and again. Wow

It's nice to watch someone who knows what they are doing. You get it . Outstanding

My chest is exploding with emotions, WOW 💛🧡❤💜thanks for sharing. Just WOW.

Another Reactor called it Hauntingly Beautiful. Great reaction. That 5 part harmony is crazy. As the fiance of someone who just returned from Afghanistan this hit hard, it brought him to tears.

The harmonies!!! POWERFUL message

the arrangement/ voices gives back what the songs talk about

God bless them all. God Bless are warriors that fight for our freedoms.

You are supose to get chills with this song

I like how both basses lead and all three tenors backed them up. This was haunting. I wonder how this would sound with the originals guitar riffs overlaid with Homefree vocals.

Tim and Adam sound Phenomenal together .Just love the way they sing it.Beautiful!!

I was blown away by their harmonies in this one. This is the most hauntingly beautiful song and video they've ever done. It gives me chills. It is symbolic to me how it appears you can see through them when they're in front of the window, like they're ghosts. I just also realized it's like a reverse image of the POW/MIA flag.

I could not wait to see your face when Tim was going to hit that first few notes and you did just what I expected! Eyes popped wide open and mouth too! lol. It's amazing. And I agree with you, Tim doesn't do many songs where he sings full deep bass, so little bits here and there and of course, the deep growl. But I love hearing him sing the full on bass solo. He did a couple of those with Chris Rupp if you haven't listened to them sing duets together. But this was special.And then the incredible tenor arrangements in the background. And how it all ended on that organ-like chord! Incredible and powerful. Agree with you, others are saying the harmonies almost brought them to tears. That's what I love is the tight, tight harmonies and chords that are like an organ would be. Thanks so much. Take care.

This performance is one that you almost have to listen to multiple times to pick up everything. You hey lost on one track and miss another. Buy as s whole it is movingly gorgeous.

Wow that song was beautiful, and your reaction was exactly the way the song was sang to make you feel just that.. That you for being real.....Feels like they "singing respect to the fallen souls"

Felt this right along with you. Words aren't enough to half way describe the emotions they evoke. Just WOW.

The harmonies are so haunting. They did legendary Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits more than proud.

Haunting, Mesmerizing and Beautiful

This song is on their land of the free album. I listen to it every day and the video still hits hard. HF can bring such emotion to their music-serious or funny!! Enjoyed your reaction, as always! The 5-part harmony is impeccable.

Great reaction. This one hits so deep I'm at a loss for words to describe it. I love hearing Tim actually sing bass and it was wonderful but it wouldn't have had the impact without the amazing talent of Austin, Rob, Adam and Chance. Chance taking that verse was perfection. It was an amazing reversal of the higher voices and the deeper voices.

Cant hold back my tears everytime when Im listen

Those harmonies hit me in someway, gave me full body goosebumps, head to toe....never had that happen before.

I know too. Love your reaction to this. Home Free is awesome. They’re music moves me in such a way I can’t explain.

Know it's getting to you when the bandana comes out. Very emotional song!

Nick, I couldn't wait to hear your analysis !!! I knew it was going to be special & it was. This is, yes sir, a masterpiece by Home Free...this is as good as acapella can get. Of course it's perfect for the upcoming Veterans Day holiday sd well to honor all those who have been brothers & sisters in arms and have sacrificed it all for us. I am so glad you appreciate this incredible & moving piece of art by Home Free.

Some Serious Connotations of Love For Our Country and Its Men & Women in Uniform and the Gut-Wrenching lyrics that bring out the Emotions of Men & Women like yourself Brother!!! Great Reaction!!!

Popular music used to be full of rich harmony singing- maybe the acapella groups will bring it back. I love your singing voice!

Thank you for your awesome reactions to Home Free and your honesty! You always have positive thoughts and help many appreciate all Home Free does in a performance to make their music sound easy! You detail how awesome each man’s harmonies are to be beautiful

That feeling is called purity of heart from within. Gods gifts given unto mankind ,our voices Brings heaven down when we worship in spirit and in truth purity of spirit. God didnt lie thats mankind current position in now time fulfillment of all He's ever spoken.

Tim sang this one from the grave! etheral, epic, other worldly, out of this world harmony. Adam Rupp is the glue every time!

Makes me cry, pure emotion created in sound

We are fools to fight with each other. We are all brothers!

Baby this is your channel you pause as much as you like I love the way you point things out that we miss. You are my favorite reactor

Thank you for reacting to this one. You're not the only one who has no words at the end. Everytime I hear this I find myself with tears running down my face and I'm not even aware I'm crying. Great reaction as always.

Your reaction is perfect. Don't feel bad other reactor's had trouble, so couldn't say anything. This is hitting everyone hard. Hear the words, listen with your heart. Adam is singing too so your getting all 5 in harmony. So haunting, and true. Notice only Tim and Chance are highlighted in the window,and transparent, and die.

Don't apologize! Those of us who may not know how difficult these vocal runs are to produce, appreciate you taking the time to explain things. Never apologize for sharing what you know with others.

Awesome Reaction Video! Love this Song by Home Free! They put their own spin on all songs they do! We love Home Free! Of course you too! Lol We have 4 seats in December and close to the stage

I haven’t heard such a beautiful bass voice since Paul Robeson sang Deep River. Hauntingly beautiful.

To any of us who have worn the uniform, this reminds us of our brothers and sisters who didn't come home...

This is one of my favorite songs from the band, Dire Straights. The album came out in October of 1985. Home Free did a remarkable a cappella rendition of this song. They paid homage to the seriousness of the subject matter. If you haven’t already I recommend that you listen to Dire Straights original version.
