After recording this, I went and watched their original God Bless The USA video, to compare. I also watched the making of video. Really good stuff there.

​@@DanFromHali I want your opinion , thoughts and analysis about this song. Imagine if there was a Canadian version of the song Lee Greenwood and Homefree God bless America. For example, God bless Canada or I am proud to be Canadian with the same lyrics harmony and etc.

100% truth....they are not "gone Hollywood" but still the same dudes they always have been

I can get that. I have a lot of respect for anybody that joins the service. It's a choice that shows the character of a person. Thank you so much for making the suggestion that I react to this!

I am a military brat, my dad was in the army, my 3 nephews are in the Marines, my 2 brothers were in the Navy My brother & I were in the air force & my soon to be father in law was in the Marines. I am the only female (to date) who was in the military

NO! I did not, I watched that twice and I missed that. Going to have to give that another go. Thanks for showing me something I missed. Appreciate it.

@@DanFromHali I missed it the first 3 times I listened to this before I saw a post pointing it out just like this. It was done so perfectly and flawlessly placed that I thought it was natural for that to be there without remembering this is completely a Capella.Adam is truly a freak of nature. Even has a few videos of him doing a literal live drum solo if you ever feel like checking that out.

Darren Rust should get more credit for his contribution

@@DanFromHali : Surprised you didn't mention Gordon Lightfoot's "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"? I always think of our cousins in Canada when I hear it !! 🦅🇺🇸 🍁🇨🇦

Now 80!

Oh I never would have caught that. That's really cool!

The young lady from Tennessee knew Tim from working in Nashville before enlisting in the AF to join this Air Force Band. She was aware of HF's arrangement of the song, and asked Tim if HF was willing to collaborate with the AF singers. I'm not sure who asked Lee, but he sure seemed to enjoy himself performing a song he's done hundreds, if not thousands of times in his career.

aha, yeah they are! It was my pleasure. Considering I wasn't expecting too much, this had me smiling from beginning to end.

They were ads though. There was a pop-up ad at the bottom of the screen when I mentioned there being ads :p

And apparently there was still stuff that I didn't pick up on, dangit. Thank you for the watch and comment. Much love :)

I had mentioned the awesome collaborations and knew I'd forgotten at least 1, I forgot Don McClean with American Pie! 🤣

Yes! I was going to tell him about the version at Mt Rushmore.. it kind of showcases Adam's drumming a bit. One of my favorite collabs is with Kenny Rogers .. Children Go Where I Send Thee.. love it. Where are you located Baby Fry? Philly here ..

Oh, Yeah, I have heard The Blenders. Okay! But yuh it was a really good watch/Listen for sure!

From what others have commented, that's sounds like the case. I am going to do American Pie in the coming days, and am looking forward to seeing what they do with Don!

@@DanFromHali you will love it!!

I don't know about everyone. But I think I should pick up on the Don McLean colab, I bet that's a great one!

Another one done during quarantine with great harmonies. Mr. McLean did this as the 50th anniversary of the song!

Yeah, I knew that. I also realize that I haven't watched much of their more recent stuff during quarantine. I Think that's going to have to change soon.

Watch the song Quarantine. Tim wrote it. It is hilarious

I am about 5 minutes away from recording my Ring of Fire reaction. I am doing 'em in batches on my days off so I can have fresh content dropping, when I can't record it. Ring of Fire will go up at 5pm ET!

No, thank you for watching. It really is a great song.

Yeah, right! The whole Home away from Home videos are great. Perhaps not for reaction videos, but for getting to know the guys of Home Free. They have this special ability to create a sense of community with their fans. And every once in a while, we get glimpses at their creative process, which is awesome.

Thats why I watch some videos a second time. One of my pet peeves with a lot of reactors, is that they rewind too far, and I find it kind of grating as a viewer. If I miss something, I'd rather watch it again and pick up new things. But I do rewind once in a while. Thank you very much for your feedback and subscription. I have a couple more videos coming out in the next 24 hours, hope you check those out as well.

Thank you Sharon. I might end up doing that eventually, but I'd like to spread it out a bit if possible.

Thank you very much Sandy. I'm glad to have you here!

I dont understand why people keep saying this but miss the fact that there was a popup add.

I don't understand how so many of you misunderstand my line about advertisements. it's actually quite staggering.

Hey Alberta! Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment (Well I assume you watched)!

@@DanFromHali I watched . It's an amazing video

Aha I know, but if you look close to the bottom of the screen when I say ads, there was a pop-up :P

Nope. They were ads. Just because you didn't see them doesn't mean they weren't there. I cut them out of the video.

It was very very good. Thank you very much for the warm welcome and comments. I hope you come by tomorrow, I recorded my reaction to their other video of the song, as well as a couple other timely Home Free reactions for the 4th!

American Pie will be coming :)

My reaction will be up around this time tomorrow!

@@DanFromHali I will watch out for it, enjoying the channel m8.

Thanks for the comment and suggestions. I may or may not have listened to King of the Road already aha. I should check out the hey soul sister though, me thinks!

@@DanFromHali - if you do check out Hey, Soul Sister, you may be the first reactor to do so. I’ve never seen anyone do that one before. And very, very few ever do anything from their early albums. They were good back then, but have definitely gotten better over the years. I look forward to whatever you choose.

@@jackmandu im okay with reacting to something nobody else does! I'm here for good music.

I understand what you are saying, and appreciate the zeal, but that's just fundamentally and not accurate. The USA has the highest number of practicing Christians in the world, its true... by a very large proportion. But when it comes to the percentage of Christianity by representation of population, The US is #100 (About 65% of those who claim to practice organized religion), and out of those other 100, The US doesn't even top the Top 50 of them when it comes to Christian practice, and Zealousness. And that's just talking about Christianity. I'd argue that other religions who believe their creator to be "our creator" would most certainly have some representation at the top of the list as well.

I mean, sure. Gordon Lightfoot is classic. He's up there for sure. And while he is an OG, we also have Sarah Maclachlan, Leonard Cohen, Tom Connors, Bachman and Cummings, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Stan Rogers, Bryan Adams, Ed Robertson, Gord Downie, Joni Mitchell, Shawn Mendes, Buffy Sainte Marie, Heck... Drake. Anda that's excusing the great songwriters of bands like The New Pornographers, Guess Who, Lover Boy, Sloan, April Wine, Billy Talent, Rush, Sum 41, Simple Plan, Our Lady Peace, Blue Rodeo, Metric Steppenwolf, July Talk, The Arkells, Marianas Trench, Trooper, The Trap Party, Big Wreck, and Great Big Sea. I don't want to discount Gordon. He's well known across the world. And when it comes to singer songwriters, it's easy to say, hey that's the guy. And if we are comparing Don to a Canadian Singer Songwriter, that's probably the one you'd go to... Or maybe Neil. But in my humble opinion, our premiere singer/songwriter is probably Joni Mitchell or Gord Downie. I know Mitchell is huge, and has had a huge impact on the industry. I don't know how well know Gord Downie is outside of Canada. I see a lot of people reacting to him and his last concert with Tragically Hip lately. But while his global relevance is questionable, his music, songwriting, his poetry, his influence and impact has made a permanent mark on not just the music industry in Canada, but Canadian culture as a whole. You know how there are artists that you conjure in your mind as synonymous with America, or songs, or whatever? While Gordon Lightfoot has an amazing career, h 's not somebody where when I hear them I think, Canada. Stompin Tom, Stan Rogers, they are synonymous with Canada. Joni and Gord? They aren't just synonymous, they are Canadian symbols as much as the maple leaf on our flag, or the loon on our $1 coin.

I mention it in Land of the Free. its just... we don't display our patriotism the same. But thats a very well thought out and worded comment. Absolutely Joy. Thank you very much!
