Salute to all the brave men & women from around the world who have given up their comfort, happiness & lives to defend their countries & the ones they love 🙏🏼❤️ 🌍 Special thanks to Drill Sergeant DePalo & his soldiers for allowing me to collaborate with them on this poignant cadence, I hope my tribute did the song justice.

More info:

Drill Sergeant DePalo leads his soldiers to Chow Hall at Fort Jackson, singing the Cadence "I Left My Home" (Originally posted 2016, but the video has recently resurfaced & has been made popular on TikTok). In the armed services, a military cadence is a traditional call-and-response work song sung by soldiers while running or marching.

The trumpet part was inspired by "The Last Post", a song that I would perform on Remembrance Day at my Highschool, Michaelhouse. The call dates back to 17th century, and was originally used made to signal that the final sentry post had been inspected, and the camp was secure for the night. It is now also used at ceremonies, like Remembrance Day (Poppy Day), to commemorate the lives lost in war.

Lyrics:

Your daddy was home when you left, you're right!
Your sister was home when you left, you're right!
Your brother was home when you left, you're right!
Your dog was home when you left, you're right!
Your cat was home when you left, you're right!
The fish was home when you left, you're right!
Your mommy and daddy, your brother, your sister, the dog, the cat, the fish
was home when you left, you're right!
And that's the reason you left, you're right!

I left my home, to join the army
I left my home, to join the army
The day I left, my momma cried
She thought that I would surely die
I left my wife, crying at the door
She knew that I would die at war
I left my son playing in the yard
Seeing daddy leave made him cry so hard
Oowie oowie, oowie oowie
Oowie oowie, oowie oowie
Left, march! We join the army

"The true Soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." - G.K. Chesterton

    That drill sergeant straight-up has an insanely good voice.
  • @PKborn
    The drill Sargent walks like he’s the final boss
  • @valejojohnson
    I’m sitting in the airport 10 years after my service, crying to this. Remembering the days I sang this very same cadence and realizing what I had done
  • @HighIQuit
    I don't care who you are if you see someone walk like that Sargeant he is the main character.
  • @jow999
    The drill sergeant looks like someone who would win a whole war by himself and still gives credits to his companions.
  • @grant0410
    This is a better recruiting add than what the army’s been putting out lately.
  • The walk is what you will notice in your loved ones who finish boot camp. I remember seeing my son when he graduated, stood a little taller, walked with a purpose. Thank you to all who serve
  • @borsodi23
    I have no wife I have no children I wasn't in the army But I was still in tears
  • As a disabled combat veteran with 15 years active duty in the Army, I cant lie this brought a tear to my eye.

    My brother passed away 13 years ago. He served in the Air Force. He was stationed in Alaska and 2nd in command at his base. He was a genius and went to officer school. He did over 200 life flight rescues. In July of 2010 he was founded dead in his apartment. Self-inflicted gunshot wound. His case is still open due to suspicious circumstances. The Air Force promoted him after his passing because he passed all his exams and graduated with honors. I never told my mom this, and only a few people know. I knew the day my brother died. The day it happened. I felt it in my spirit. I cried uncontrollably. I did understand why at the time. No one had to tell me. After listening to this and reading the comments, it made me cry again, and I haven't cried in a long time. I miss my brother deeply❤. Thank you and anyone else reading this. Thank you for your service.

    This is beautiful and haunting... somehow so sad, hopeful, depressingly blunt, yet supportive all at the same time
