    This song has been a patriotic favorite in the US since Lee Greenwood released it in 1984. Lee, Home Free, and the military absolutely do this song justice in this version.
    By the way, the ‘castle’ in Nashville is Lee Greenwood’s home.

      I believe the castle shown is actually the location of Castle Recording Studios located in Nashville TN. Although Lee Greenwood does live in Nashville with his wife, his home is large and beautiful but not the castle shown. There is a video online of his home with a tour by him and his wife of their home. Just search for Lee Greenwood's home.

My daddy fought in WWII in 2 of the bloodiest battles in North Africa and Italy . He owned 2 companies even though he left school after 8th grade. He was a master tool and die maker, master boilermaker.

    If I’m correct, Home Free actually got all of these individuals together for this song. Lee Greenwood is the original singer of God Bless the USA, but Home Free has two members who live in Nashville, TN, where Lee Greenwood lives. Adam Chance lives in California , but he’s originally from Alabama, and the remaining two are from Minnesota. So three members are originally from the South with the remaining two from Minnesota. Home Free are a very patriotic vocal band who likes to collaborate with many different artists. They did this during COVID to bring the country together.

    Video trivia: The girl who sings the line about Tennessee is from Tennessee. Tim Foust, who sings the line about Texas, is from Texas. Rob Lundquist is from Minnesota and sang that line. Adam Chance, who sings the line “from sea to shining sea” was born in Florida and now lives in California. The military group is The Singing Sargents from the Air Force. I’m not a flag waving patriot, but this song gets me every time! More Americans probably know the lyrics to this than know the Star Spangled Banner lyrics.

    Lee Greenwood wrote and sang this song decades ago. This version was collaborated with Home Free and a military choir. I don't know why the Fox News emblem was shown on this, it wasn't when originally released over a year ago. Your are right that political parties should not try to take credit for it. It is a beautiful patriotic song and should be enjoyed by all.

    • @WoobieHugs
      @WoobieHugs Před 4 měsíci +4

      Fox News shared it, but neglected to mention that they nabbed it from Home Free's channel, choosing instead to promote the Airforce vocalists and the original songwriter. The reactor likely found it on Fox News' channel as opposed to Home Free's.
      To Andre, great reaction! It's nice to know you appreciate just how special this "during Covid" video truly is. I've always loved Lee Greenwood's original version, but the Air Force Singing Sergeants and Home Free just brought the song to a whole new level, and Lee even said that he was finally able to "play around" (not his words, I'm paraphrasing) with how he sang it.

This is done when they were still in isolation during Covid and filmed in different locations! Humphrey filmed this several years ago at Mount Rushmore in the United States by themselves… It was very powerful! Getting to see with Lee Greenwood was very special! He was about 78 when he sang this! It’s very interesting and Rob sings from the lakes of Minnesota… That is where he is from, and from Texas is Tim Foust! Home Fries producer arrange this song… We felt he had more room to add the lyric PLEASE BLESS THE USA! At the very end if you listen beatbox or Adam Rupp as a sound of jets flying over!! Humphrey has also song several patriotic songs… Land of the free”…”My country ‘tis of thee”. &. “Only in America!!

    Andre, you keep stating how much you love listening to Rob sing.....he is the big teddy bear Home Free. You have to check out his video where he and Austin (the red head Home Free singer) and he does opera Nessun Dorma. You will come un-hinged at the beauty of his voice. Simply search Home Free Nessun Dorma and you will find the video. You owe it to yourself to watch and listen to it.

    Lee Greenwood is not a veteran, BUT he does a lot of charitable work for veterans including building them homes if they otherwise cannot afford it... And this song became so very much more popular when 9/11 happened... There were even people rolling down their car windows to sing it as they were driving up and down the highways!! It was our way of saying "We got knocked down but we are NOT out!!"

    As an American, born and raised, this song never fails to make me cry with pride. The ones that came before us, sacrifice, may leave a garden they may never see grow. That is why we hold the flag in such high regard, even to not let it touch the ground. Many died for our freedom, so we may sleep peacefully at night, and live our dreams. Never forget those that died to give us this right.

    Your reactions are genuine and uplifting, my friend, and very much appreciated. I love that you've begun with country genre and Home Free (who do many styles). It would be interesting to see you venture into Elvis. I grew up with his music but had no awareness of a song from his '68 come back special entitled' If I Can Dream' until a few years ago. Perhaps it will move you as it did for me. It speaks eloquently to racial divide that impacted the US for so many years.

    You feel and are drawn to the American Patriotism in music. I want to say that in a way, our military is also part of your military. The US supports their allies and will be there shoulder to shoulder with your soldiers if you are facing aggression. It is a very real thing that the US is the reason many smaller countries remain free in their own country. My family immigrated to the US from Denmark. The Danes actually celebtate the 4th of July, American Independence day. They know that they could never stand up to countries like Russia or even Germany in WW2 without the United States. I am so glad that there are people around the world starting to understand Americans and who we are. We are welcoming people and we truly love our country and what it stands for. Forget the current squabbling amoung our politicians. Frankly, we need a bit of house cleaning there and have age requirements for all parts of the government. Enough of the politics. They change every 4 years. What doesn't change is our love and pride for and of our country.

  • @ElizabethRoss-uj8rl

    Yes, you got it! This is Home Free's lockdown production of Lee Greenwood's original iconic song. The title of the video is not quite correct. The military chorus is fantastic, too! The glimpse of the producer in the Minneapolis studio is of Darren Rust, Home Free's "6th member". Greenwood's voice is just as great as when he recorded this years ago. Home Free also has another video of this, without the collaborations. It's doubly amazing when you realize that the only "orchestra" is HF, and the only drums are Adam Rupp. I consider it a second national anthem, and a much better melody. Great reaction! You should give the credits to Home Free and Lee Greenwood.
    I recommend you do Home Free's original "Land of the Free".

    Lee Greenwood is the original artist, who released this song back in 1984. Of course you know who Home Free is and they've done a lot of this type of thing where they pair up with the original artists and do a revised version. This "cover" of the song was done during COVID and hence the multiple locations. Since this was being released for our 4th of July, they wanted to include the Air Force singers to make it extra special

    When I was a high school student and college student we would travel with our church youth choir to Camp Pendleton and the Naval Training Center in San Diego to do concerts for the troops church services and out in the field. At NTC they would end the service singing this song, and I will never forget seeing the 2000 naval recruits putting their arms around each others shoulders and singing this with the Lee Greenwood recording. I think of it every time I hear this song, and am so grateful for our troops and our country.

    Back in the mid 1980s, my husband and I lived in Nashville. There was an amusement (aka theme) park there called Opryland USA dedicated to country music. There were shows and rides there (so much fun). One of the shows always included Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA song”, and every time that song was sang, all the audience would automatically stand up to listen to it and cross their hand over their heart. Such a nice patriotic feeling!!
