I don’t even know where to start, but this will get me going
in the right direction…this cover of God Bless the USA by Home Free is spine
chilling, spirit lifting, heart-pounding and gut wrenching. Their presentation
is simply unparalleled. I know I may be biased, as I adore Home Free and what
they do with music, but I truly believe this video will stun all those that
watch it.
The scenery alone is striking and brought that proud smile
to my face. This song has always been one that makes people stand up and sing
with pure honor and dignity. Lee
Greenwood captured the true sense of patriotism with this magnificent song and
Home Free maintained that finely tuned attitude and gave it even more life and
essence. It’s almost impossible to find the right words to describe how I felt
the first time I heard them sing this song live. Now they’ve made this video
and I’m speechless and affected right down to my core, but thoughts are
exploding, like fireworks, in my head. I have seen Home Free live seven times
and it was only at the last concert in Tulsa that I snapped my first picture
during this song. I had a sense of disrespect if I took pictures and didn’t
stand and sing from my heart during this song. After seeing this video, I know
now, I did the right thing not taking pictures during this song. Bravo, Home
Free, Bravo. This video should be your pride and joy. I know Ring of Fire changed
your lives, but this video will change many lives. Thank you!
Now that all the glory has been shared, I really need to get
a few “holy smokes” out of the way. First, it was great to see Chris and his
beautiful cowboy hat. I thought it was perfect that he got to sing ‘the lakes
of Minnesota’ and that Rob joined him. Chris, Rob and Austin sound spectacular
together in this song (like every other song, but this one stands alone). But
then, OH MY, TIM!!!! To give Tim “across the plains of Texas’ was just fitting,
but the way he sang that line made my heart stop beating. I think I shrieked a
bit. Of course, being a Texan myself, I couldn’t ask for a better
representation of Texas than the mighty bass voice of one Mr. Tim Foust, y’all.
The emotion in the faces of all the guys was very apparent and put me in a very
happy place, especially Austin and Rob. But the drum playing by Adam toward the
end, where he played the air snare drum, gave me shivers. That was absolutely Adam
Rupp perfection.
I know I get all gooey when I talk about these guys and I
know I’m not alone in my thinking, but of all their videos, this one rattled my
bones. I love all their videos. Sure, some more than others, but their fun
personalities and ridiculous talent wins out every time. This video has me “falling
in love” with Home Free all over again. So pure, exquisite and picturesque. Not
to mention these fine gentlemen are easy on the eyes (you knew I would go there
eventually). Home Free you amaze me and I hope this video goes viral and gets
the attention is truly deserves. God Bless the USA!
