Hey guys. Craig's 19 year old son was away with friends on a river tubing trip and was drowned. Craig wrote this to help himself deal with it. He recorded it and then said he wasn't going to sing it again. A couple of his Nashville buddies told him he could help a lot of people with it. Then the audiences started asking for it at his concerts. So he started doing it again. I have seen him do it on several TV shows and also on the Grand Ole Opry. I have never seen him get through it without breaking down a little bit. In fact there is a video on RUclips of him doing it at the Opry and the entire song the guys in his band are just watching him to make sure he is okay. That's family. Craig is quite a guy. He served I think 8 years in the army as a combat medic. After he got out him and one of his kids were driving somewhere and they drove by a house fire. He ran up to see if he could help. The FD wasn't there yet and someone said there were still people in the house. He went in and carried 2 people out. (Kids I think). He has another video you should check out. Great message for the times we are going through now. It's called "This ain't nothin'. Stay safe and well. Peace.
It's true that it does help others that are going through the same thing. I lost my son to a motorcycle accident three years ago on 09/21 and though I don't wish anyone to join this club I unwillingly became a member of, it helps to know there are others who understand.
Just a minor correction. And please don't misunderstand my comments as being hostile. I admire Craig and tear up every time I see his video. Craig served with the Army's 101st and 82 Airborne. He tried out for the Rangers but was injured in the selection process and didn't make it. Regardless, I very much appreciate his service.
I'm from the UK and i've always known what Uncle Sam means i don't think its about research. Its actually quite worrying that they don't know what it means.
His son died in a drowning accident he said he would never perform this song because he couldn't make it through without crying. Its a very sad situation.
9 years 101st Airbourne and 82nd Airborne. Trust me 1 day is hard enough but 9 years feels like a lifetime. How he did this song is the true definition of courage, faith and love.
@@2nicnag2 Thank you for rating a hero, I will never surrender while I still have the means to fight, though I may be the last paratrooper. My goal in peace and war is to succeed in any mission of the day or night, even though I may die doing so. For I belong to a proud and glorious team, The Airborne the Army, my Country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Ingrained.
All 5 of my uncles and both of my grandmas served, my husband wanted to but concussions in high school sports kept him from it, he is the most patriotic non-veteran you will ever come across. Our son is considering working with a company to develop wheeled and tracked vehicles for the military or teaching high school history so he can coach sports too. If you want to know about the evolution of tanks, anything about world war 1 and 2 especially, how men like Hitler and Stalin rose to power, etc just ask our teenager. His bedroom is decorated in military flags and winter camo colors. I will forever thank those you have served this country in any capacity because you all chose to give your time to the military which many wouldn’t even consider. Thank you!!
One of the things that always strikes me about this is the first verse. I feel like he's saying the rest of the world has moved on but he just can't. He makes excuses to not go out then "turns the radio back on and sits back down". That's major depression. Just breaks my heart.
When you lose a child, you feel like the world has imploded. But it goes on around you without a care. But in my grief, I never noticed. I was numb, going through the daily motions, without thinking.
Craig’s son was 19 years old, he died by drowning. The episode of Kelly Clarkson’s talk show where he describes the incident and then sings the song. It’s HEART WRENCHING.
Having a little one myself, I can’t even begin to imagine this kind of pain. Takes a very strong individual to put that emotion into a song. A very sad, but very beautiful tribute to his son.
Crying..I know. I so know. Lost my little boy when he was 8 to cancer. I work up ambition every day for my 4 remaining children. All so amazing!! But I won't be home until I can embrace my hero.
This song makes the tears flow..... I understand his pain. I lost my 3 youngest (ages 9 and 7 (twins) in 2013 in a housefire. The emptiness and heartache is ALWAYS there
To add another amazing quality to Craig & his wife....this son that he is referring to was a child that they adopted at a fairly young age. Gerry came home from college for the break and told his Mom that he broke his chain that he wore with the Saint Michael pendant on it and he would like to get a new chain bc he felt it's security. His Mom hadn't yet made it to the jewelry store to get a chain and now she holds some "what if" type guilt. Was so sad to see the pain in their faces as they gave that interview on one of the tv talk shows.
His first time doing the song, on the Grand Ole Opry is just as heartbreaking if not more. It is what he talks about in the interview with Kelly. Saying he did it once but couldn't again, yet he was told it needed to be heard. So he did it again, and has continued to do so. Truly I think it is a release for him and then it helps others going through very tough times.
Yes his son drowned. He woke up in the middle of night and God told him to write this song, half way through he was going to go back to bed but god told him to finish it. The first time he performed it was on the Grand Ole Opry . As he walked off the stage Ricky Skaggs was standing there and Craig said, I can perform that song again. Ricky told him he had to so he would help others. He contacted Blake Shelton and Blake started having it played everywhere even on Kelly who of course was crying. Blake showed up to surprise him. Was a beautiful sone, written by a beautiful man about a beautiful love between him and his son.
I remember when this was happening. I live in NC, right on the TN border, and we get TN news stations...it was all over the news, while search and rescue was looking for his son, then they called in the divers. It was awful to watch, and hear. I can't imagine. I've loved Craig's songs for years...and it hurt my heart to have this happen to him.
I worked for a woman looking after her horses and cows. She had a wretched old pool. My youngest son would go with me to work. He was not even three. I went to tell my employer I was done and she kept talking and talking. Found my boy floating in the pool, not breathing no heartbeat. I pulled him out, started working on him and God blessed me. He started making little sounds, I thought it was his body outgassing and he was gone but he started to breath, opened his eyes. The paramedics had a hard time finding us but after 45 minutes they arrived. Took us to the hospital. Nurses kept telling me I'd done everything right. All I could think was if I'd done every thing right we wouldn't be there. Spent the day in the NICU with my beautiful boy bouncing around, chattering and laughing. I apologized to the nurses for the ruckus, they told me it was wonderful to see a little one who was going to be OK. He's an engineer and engaged now. I thank God daily for letting me keep him.
ALL MOST HOME, IS A TRUE STORY ABOUT A HOMELESS MAN, THAT WAS ALMOST FROZEN TO DEATH, HE GOT MAD AT CRAIG FOR WAKING HIM UP BECAUSE HE WAS ALL MOST HOME ( HEAVEN ) IT'S A GREAT SONG, PLEASE REACT TO IT YOU GUY'S WILL LOVE IT! CRAIG WRITES AND SINGS FROM HIS WHOLE HEART! THANKS SO MUCH, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT SUNDAY, IS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SONG CRAIG WROTE AND RECORDED!
Listen to "What I Love About Sunday", it's my favorite of his. I watched the version from the Kelly Clarkson Show, bawled the whole way through the song.
When I was a Soldier stationed at Fort Sill, Craig Morgan with Jason Aldean and Dirks Bentley performed a concert on the 4th of July for the troops. It was a part of the Army concert tour. Me and my friend Erin had been at the lake all day and missed the concert. Afterwards, we went to our favorite little hole in the wall bar called Guys & Dolls. After an hour or so, me Erin and one other person was in the bar, when about 15 people came in. It happened to be Jason Aldean, Dirks Bentley, some of their entourage and of course Craig Morgan. I sat closest to Jason Aldean and Craig sat on the opposite end. After exchanging pleasantries, Craig Morgan heard that I was in the Army and that we had served in the same unit once upon a time. They stayed for about 2 hours and me and Erin danced to their songs while they say at the bar, it was so surreal. Craig even bought me a shot of Jack. It was when we still had flip phones....it was amazing and he was such a down to earth guy
He wrote this song about his son passing away. It's great because it's so honest and healing for others that have experienced that. I saw someone referenced his appearance on Kelly Clarkson, please watch that. It gives context. Thanks to the Patreon follower for recommending this and you guys covering this, and passing on the message
Loss of a child transcends all pain a parent can experience. It's not natural for a parent to bury a child. The love for a child is greater than any other emotion a person can feel. I was blessed to watch my son being born and I thank God every day he is with me. My wife had to bury her only child, my step son , at the young age of 24. This song especially the second verse is her. It's been 5 years and I have watched her in a pain that nothing can ease. It doesnt matter your sex, race, age whatever, love bonds all of us together and death may take the physical body but the memories are with us forever. Love your children, hold them tight and never take them or their lives for granted. You just never know what fate has in store. God bless you and your channel. Toodles
Craig is such a humble man, he sings with heart and emotion, reason why I love him. Sing it Craig! BTW, check out his grand ole opry version! It'll give you chills!
Our son was in a fetal car accident Dec 11, 2019... love this song. “I know my boy ain’t here, but he ain’t gone” “Go outside and sit by myself but I’m not alone” “I won’t completely heal til I go home” ... Thank you Craig... 💙
Craig Morgan is one of the strongest people in the music industry and I'm so glad he chose to share his talent with people. I couldn't imagine being able to pull myself back together enough to write and perform a song like this, it's a testament to his strength and character.
I discovered your channel a few months ago. I end up going down the rabbit hole for hours watching your videos! Love them all. Craig Morgan Almost Home is another great song from the heart.
This song is about his son passing away. I live close to the river where he died. Craig Morgan is an amazing country artist. I couldn't imagine losing one of my children. God bless him!
Not only that he wrote it after waking up one night, after a dream, with God telling him to put pen to paper. He tried writing (something any songwriter would do) before, but never could get it out, yet that night he woke up, and penned this song.
I appreciate you guys reacting to this video. Craig morgan did really lose his son in 2016, and he wrote this for him as well as himself to express his feelings.
Thank you so much for reacting to my recommendation! This is a true story and here’s a link to an interview where he talks a little about it ruclips.net/video/ZcsDwCDrDN8/видео.html. I first heard this song when Blake Shelton sent it out on Twitter. My son is in the military and I couldn’t help but imagine myself in the same situation one day and how this song would give me some comfort. The song just brings out a lot of emotion for me.
This song came out when I lost my son 7 days b4 he was suppose to be born and it hit me hard really hard bc right b4 this song came out I lost my son abt 2 months b4 and I ran straight to drinking and drugs and when I heard this song it brought me back to my real self and I thank God for this song thank u Craig Morgan for this song and thank God bc I know he had better plans for my son 😇 boy DADDY LOVES AND MISSES U EASTON WADE BASS
Despite the aching heartbreak in this song, his faith and hope makes this beautiful. Craig Morgan always sings with his whole heart. I think that’s a big part of what I like about country music in general.
YES it's a TRUE story... His 17 years old son died in a accidental drowning accident and he wrote this song immediately after, as a song of healing... THAT'S why it was so emotional... He was LITERALLY singing from his heart
Craig Morgan is such a great guy. When I lived in Kentucky he came into my store bought a few things. Told me how great my store was and took pictures with all of us. It was so great meeting him and finding out how down to earth he is.
I'm really glad Craig had those friends who helped him and told him to share the song. I'm also very thankful for Blake for sharing it to his followers and even telling people to get the song higher than his on the charts, it was wonderful watching him push his fans to stream the song and get it to number one, it was very beautiful to see. It's an amazing song so I am very glad so many people got to witness his performance and hear his voice and his story.
I know the story but had never seen the video or heard the aong. Tears coming down again. Xoxo love you Craig, you made it through the writing the song and performing the video..... love u half and jai!
This is absolutely a true story. He lost his son in a tubing accident a couple of years ago. He did a live performance on the Kelly Clarkson show. It was beautiful and heart breaking.
I’ve heard this song several times and I cried so much listening to it again. I lost my father a year ago. I am still grieving and will forever. My heart goes out to Craig Morgan. I hurt for him.
Thanks for this song. My son Gabriel died on 05/02/2020 in his bed in mine and my wife’s bedroom from his second bout with two cancerous tumors in his head. He was 18yrs old.
His older songs are very emotional as well. He’s an amazing artist and all of his songs are very inspirational and amazing!! Luv watching y’all’s videos!!
True story. I live in Nashville and it happened not far away. It was all over the news. To write this with the pain I’m sure they have been through and singing it over and over is amazing. He says he sings it to start conversation and God and Faith.
Craig Morgan was on the lineup when I went to my first show at the grand ole opry in Nashville. He decided to debut the very first live performance of this song that night. The opry was packed, and needless to say, there was no one sitting nor a dry eye in the entire building by the end of his performance. A beautiful song. Fun fact about Craig Morgan, he was an officer in the army (mos-13A-artillery officer) and got noticed for his singing ability in a talent show while deployed. I believe some Entertainer was on the same FOB (forward operating base) as Craig for a USO trip and they happened to catch a part of Craig’s performance while on the USO tour.
New to your channel really love all the songs yall have went through. I have sit here all day watching and crying with yall . Yall are really doing a great job.
And seeing Craig perform this song live is even harder, he's such an amazing artist we've seen him a few times when he came to Alaska and performed on base, but truly a song no parent would ever want to write.
The story behind this song is heartbreaking. Takes a strong man to perform this 🙏. Can I just send some good vibes your way from S.C. I love watching you 2. You are an inspiration for all couples out there. Stsy safe, healthy and happy. 🥰👍🙏
He wrote this song for his son.. his son passed away in 2016 in Tennessee.. he was boating and out tubing and being a teen, when he just went missing off the tube and his body was later recovered by the sheriff department already dead.. he was only 19.. such a sad story I’m so glad Craig released this son this year I lost my brother this year in January 4 days after he turned 27 and even though he’s my brother and not my son the song means a lot to me
Losing a child is the hardest hurt ever. I am a basket of tears every time I hear this song. You need to put on head phones and listen to this song again.
Yes it is a true story. Craig was a special ops soldier and felt with a lot of pain before he got into country music. He lost his son and it broke him. Depression is what kept him home. His wife being sick was a lie to cover his depression. The pain of a parent who has to bury a child. That makes this song even more beautiful
Just wanted to say, love your guys videos! Especially the reaction videos, cause it doesn't matter who the singer/artist us, or what genre they are in, its about the lyrics and the message of th song.. im the same way when it comes to listening to music, so again just wanted to say, love your guys videos and am definitely a fan! Keep it up yall!
Oh my goodness, its been like 5 or 6 years now.. I remember sitting at my computer watching the reports hoping they would find him.... his life vest got snagged so after he went under he never came back up.... I cried as a mom for them... first time I heard that song was on Kelly Clarksons show.. and I bawled like a baby... My throat still gets tight hearing it.. I am a mom... I have an 19 year old, 17 year old and a 6 year old.. and I watched my mom fall apart after my brother lost his battle with Cystic fibrosis and its been 7 years and she is still barely glued together.. we parents are not suppose to outlive our babies.. so my heart can break with theirs... as a mom.. much love to any and all who have had to face that tragic loss
My nephew was killed in March in a drug dispute. His sister played this song for their dad on what would have been Zack's 27th birthday. Every word of this song describes the man my brother is. He lost his son, his best friend to heroin addiction 6yrs ago. 8 months ago, thst young man permanently lost the battle. The family finds peace that he is no longer fighting his demons and has found peace, and i know my brother listens to this song often
I have also lost a son 27 years ago when he passed shortly after birth and this song hits breaks me it feels like his death was not long ago. No parent should ever bury a child it’s a grief we never get over.
The first time he sang it was on the Grand Ole Opry and he wasn't planning on singing it again. As he stepped off the stage he was encouraged by his opry family to keep singing.
Yes he did. He wrote this song after his son died. He sang it on the Grand Ole Opry, he was never going to sing it again, but his friends convinced him to record it. Said other people would need that song.
Seen you watching a Craig Morgan Video.... my father the son and the Holy Ghost .... his son drown. He was only 19 yrs old and a very Christian like young man. Loved seeing you and your beautiful wife commenting on it in. Positive HONEST!!! Way... watching you and your wife listening to it and seeing your reaction to that song made me realize...... everyone IS NOT!!!!!!!! RACIEST!!!!! Just because someone is a different color or just different!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!❤️ Dale Brown
Yes, in 2016 Ceaig lost his 19 year old son. He was on a river in TN. being pulled on a tube, Jerry went under water an never reserviced and yes he had a life jacket on. Watch the clip of the Kelly Clarkson Show, she had Craig on the show talking about what happend, but if you do get the box of tissue.
Sharing another video, it's called ''TELL HIM'' by Jona & Klarisse.It were original sung by Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion.. Beautiful!! There from the Philippines..
My daughter would of been 30 years old this past October. I lost her when she was 4 months old. I know what Craig went through. Craig is an awesome guy. Very sorry his son passed away. Eric Clapton's son died 7 days after my daughter. Eric wrote "Tears In Heaven" because of it. Tom Dutkiewicz

We lost our 20 year old son in march of 2019 due to drowing so when this song came out and I read the back story of it i instantly connected with it
I lost my brother March of this year and this song helped our family so much
When he said “Uncle Sam,” he wasn’t talking about the IRS, he was talking about his time in the military.
RESEARCH BEFORE DOING REACTIONS
I love y'alls reactions but as a disabled retired vet I have to agree with these guys 👆👆👆👆
Craig was a U.S. Army Ranger.
I'm from the UK and i've always known what Uncle Sam means i don't think its about research. Its actually quite worrying that they don't know what it means.
Indeed 🇺🇸
His son died in a drowning accident he said he would never perform this song because he couldn't make it through without crying. Its a very sad situation.
It also was his personal song.. given Blake Shelton heard it and talk him into doing a music video
The first time Greg Morgan performed this song was at the Grand Ole Opry the video of it is on the internet.
we lost our daughter and granddaughter in a horrible car accident. Sometimes it hurts like it just happened 💔

You can't ever move on from a child's death, idk how you can
That has been my take away from those lyrics as well. Seems like few reactors take them that way.

We lost our daughter in a car accident when she was 17...this song makes me cry every time I hear it...It's beautiful!💜

So sorry for you loss! We lost my sister when she was 16 and I was 12. I cry everytime also! Really hits the feels! Praying for you!
My condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry for your great loss. R.I.P sweet girl🙏😔
I cry every time too

That is a wonderful song along with Almost Home!
I respect him to the utmost for not only writing this not long after his son passed awa
For releasing it.
@@johnwilliams5301 you should try to listen to Sherri Easter's "I'll be quiet so you can hear my heart".
This ain't nothing by Craig Morgan is an awesome song

Uncle Sam because he was in the Army, a song he has called “Paradise” explains it and is a great song

You should listen to his songs "Almost home" and "What i love about Sundays". Both are great songs.

Can't forget " This ain't nothing." I couldn't having to live this life without my wife.
And the song “tough”.

It was when we still had flip phones....it was amazing and he was such a down to earth guy
He wrote this song about his son passing away. It's great because it's so honest and healing for others that have experienced that. I saw someone referenced his appearance on Kelly Clarkson, please watch that. It gives context. Thanks to the Patreon follower for recommending this and you guys covering this, and passing on the message
Happy to see y’all back! One of my favorite feel good songs from Craig Morgan is “Thats what I love about Sunday’s” I’m positive y’all will love it!
Craig singing this live will have you crying. So beautiful and heartbreaking
Loss of a child transcends all pain a parent can experience. It's not natural for a parent to bury a child. The love for a child is greater than any other emotion a person can feel. I was blessed to watch my son being born and I thank God every day he is with me. My wife had to bury her only child, my step son , at the young age of 24. This song especially the second verse is her. It's been 5 years and I have watched her in a pain that nothing can ease. It doesnt matter your sex, race, age whatever, love bonds all of us together and death may take the physical body but the memories are with us forever. Love your children, hold them tight and never take them or their lives for granted. You just never know what fate has in store. God bless you and your channel.
Toodles
Craig is such a humble man, he sings with heart and emotion, reason why I love him. Sing it Craig!
BTW, check out his grand ole opry version! It'll give you chills!
Our son was in a fetal car accident Dec 11, 2019... love this song.
“I know my boy ain’t here, but he ain’t gone”
“Go outside and sit by myself but I’m not alone”
“I won’t completely heal til I go home” ... Thank you Craig... 💙
Craig Morgan is one of the strongest people in the music industry and I'm so glad he chose to share his talent with people. I couldn't imagine being able to pull myself back together enough to write and perform a song like this, it's a testament to his strength and character.
And in the faith of his Lord.
I discovered your channel a few months ago. I end up going down the rabbit hole for hours watching your videos! Love them all. Craig Morgan Almost Home is another great song from the heart.
This song is about his son passing away. I live close to the river where he died. Craig Morgan is an amazing country artist. I couldn't imagine losing one of my children. God bless him!
Just watched this video for the first time. 2 years ago it was and you were at 50k now your pushing 300k. Love you videos congratulations
He wrote this after his son drowned while tubeing in 2016.
Not only that he wrote it after waking up one night, after a dream, with God telling him to put pen to paper. He tried writing (something any songwriter would do) before, but never could get it out, yet that night he woke up, and penned this song.
I still cry when i hear this song just the thought of losing a child is heart breaking and you can see his pain when he sings that.
he did this song after his son passed so sad when i hear it but i like the song
I'm subscribed to dozens of.reaction channels... Y'all are my hands down favorite... GOOD VIBES BABY
His son passed away from a boating incident this song makes me tear up every time I hear it
Craig Morgan I was almost home... THAT is another great song by Craig
I appreciate you guys reacting to this video. Craig morgan did really lose his son in 2016, and he wrote this for him as well as himself to express his feelings.
I love this song. He wrote it from the loss of his son. I cry every time I hear it! I love that y’all are listening to a lot of country music!! 💙💙💙
Thank you so much for reacting to my recommendation! This is a true story and here’s a link to an interview where he talks a little about it ruclips.net/video/ZcsDwCDrDN8/видео.html. I first heard this song when Blake Shelton sent it out on Twitter. My son is in the military and I couldn’t help but imagine myself in the same situation one day and how this song would give me some comfort. The song just brings out a lot of emotion for me.
This song came out when I lost my son 7 days b4 he was suppose to be born and it hit me hard really hard bc right b4 this song came out I lost my son abt 2 months b4 and I ran straight to drinking and drugs and when I heard this song it brought me back to my real self and I thank God for this song thank u Craig Morgan for this song and thank God bc I know he had better plans for my son 😇 boy DADDY LOVES AND MISSES U EASTON WADE BASS
Craig's oldest son Gerry, 19 yrs old, drown in 2016. He has a hard time singing the song live.
That last note! The way he sang that “Holy Ghost”! That hits you in the chest!
My husband worked the accident, I was there and bless his parents 🙏 ❤
Despite the aching heartbreak in this song, his faith and hope makes this beautiful. Craig Morgan always sings with his whole heart. I think that’s a big part of what I like about country music in general.
His wife was likely wasn't sick, he just did not want to leave his house.
She probably was grieving
His wife surely was confined to her bed out of grief. It happens to parents and other people as well when they lose a loved one.
His song Tough. Is about his wife and cancer battle.
@@jasonmims5493 What are you talking about?
YES it's a TRUE story... His 17 years old son died in a accidental drowning accident and he wrote this song immediately after, as a song of healing... THAT'S why it was so emotional... He was LITERALLY singing from his heart
19.
Y’all would love Craig’s songs:
Almost Home
What I love about Sunday
Craig Morgan is such a great guy. When I lived in Kentucky he came into my store bought a few things. Told me how great my store was and took pictures with all of us. It was so great meeting him and finding out how down to earth he is.
Good Vibes Bay Bay
I'm really glad Craig had those friends who helped him and told him to share the song. I'm also very thankful for Blake for sharing it to his followers and even telling people to get the song higher than his on the charts, it was wonderful watching him push his fans to stream the song and get it to number one, it was very beautiful to see. It's an amazing song so I am very glad so many people got to witness his performance and hear his voice and his story.
Hello Beautiful Couple..got tissues,OG,wine ..let's go!!!!💖💙
Love y’all and I’m glad to be apart of the crew
Y'all should react to, "This Ain't Nothin," by him. Great lesson in that song.
I know the story but had never seen the video or heard the aong. Tears coming down again. Xoxo love you Craig, you made it through the writing the song and performing the video..... love u half and jai!
Listen to Craig Morgan This ain't nothing.
This is absolutely a true story. He lost his son in a tubing accident a couple of years ago. He did a live performance on the Kelly Clarkson show. It was beautiful and heart breaking.
You should see him do this on the Kelly Clarkson show. He did lose his beautiful boy. Jerry Greer. Look him up.
I’ve heard this song several times and I cried so much listening to it again. I lost my father a year ago. I am still grieving and will forever. My heart goes out to Craig Morgan. I hurt for him.
I lost my 19 year old son to epilepsy in 2012 this song makes me cry but it also reminds me I will see him some day
Omg....I was thinking. Not a country song. This crushed me. Thank you. My goodness. True story. I’m sorry for his loss.
Thanks for this song. My son Gabriel died on 05/02/2020 in his bed in mine and my wife’s bedroom from his second bout with two cancerous tumors in his head. He was 18yrs old.
His older songs are very emotional as well. He’s an amazing artist and all of his songs are very inspirational and amazing!! Luv watching y’all’s videos!!
True story. I live in Nashville and it happened not far away. It was all over the news. To write this with the pain I’m sure they have been through and singing it over and over is amazing. He says he sings it to start conversation and God and Faith.
I lost my grandson over 10 years ago. It never really goes away. I miss him everyday as soon as I wake up. I love you kevin.
Craig Morgan was on the lineup when I went to my first show at the grand ole opry in Nashville. He decided to debut the very first live performance of this song that night. The opry was packed, and needless to say, there was no one sitting nor a dry eye in the entire building by the end of his performance. A beautiful song.
Fun fact about Craig Morgan, he was an officer in the army (mos-13A-artillery officer) and got noticed for his singing ability in a talent show while deployed. I believe some Entertainer was on the same FOB (forward operating base) as Craig for a USO trip and they happened to catch a part of Craig’s performance while on the USO tour.
Yes his son died and this song is Craig's dedication to him. Did you know Craig is also a Veteran? He has some excellent songs 👍
New to your channel really love all the songs yall have went through. I have sit here all day watching and crying with yall . Yall are really doing a great job.
And seeing Craig perform this song live is even harder, he's such an amazing artist we've seen him a few times when he came to Alaska and performed on base, but truly a song no parent would ever want to write.
Yes he did,best song of the time it came out.I cryed and the faith was have to have to get thru is amazing
10 yrs since we lost our son and the pain never leaves you. You learn to survive with it because they would want you to.
The story behind this song is heartbreaking. Takes a strong man to perform this 🙏. Can I just send some good vibes your way from S.C. I love watching you 2. You are an inspiration for all couples out there. Stsy safe, healthy and happy. 🥰👍🙏
He wrote this song for his son.. his son passed away in 2016 in Tennessee.. he was boating and out tubing and being a teen, when he just went missing off the tube and his body was later recovered by the sheriff department already dead.. he was only 19.. such a sad story I’m so glad Craig released this son this year I lost my brother this year in January 4 days after he turned 27 and even though he’s my brother and not my son the song means a lot to me
He actually reenlisted in the army with a special exemption at age 38 I think. Love the video that I just found.
OMG!! I am so glad you did this video!!
Losing a child is the hardest hurt ever. I am a basket of tears every time I hear this song. You need to put on head phones and listen to this song again.
Yes it is a true story. Craig was a special ops soldier and felt with a lot of pain before he got into country music. He lost his son and it broke him. Depression is what kept him home. His wife being sick was a lie to cover his depression. The pain of a parent who has to bury a child. That makes this song even more beautiful
“Almost home” is another great Craig Morgan song!
Just wanted to say, love your guys videos! Especially the reaction videos, cause it doesn't matter who the singer/artist us, or what genre they are in, its about the lyrics and the message of th song.. im the same way when it comes to listening to music, so again just wanted to say, love your guys videos and am definitely a fan! Keep it up yall!
Oh my goodness, its been like 5 or 6 years now.. I remember sitting at my computer watching the reports hoping they would find him.... his life vest got snagged so after he went under he never came back up.... I cried as a mom for them... first time I heard that song was on Kelly Clarksons show.. and I bawled like a baby... My throat still gets tight hearing it.. I am a mom... I have an 19 year old, 17 year old and a 6 year old.. and I watched my mom fall apart after my brother lost his battle with Cystic fibrosis and its been 7 years and she is still barely glued together.. we parents are not suppose to outlive our babies.. so my heart can break with theirs... as a mom.. much love to any and all who have had to face that tragic loss
My nephew was killed in March in a drug dispute. His sister played this song for their dad on what would have been Zack's 27th birthday. Every word of this song describes the man my brother is. He lost his son, his best friend to heroin addiction 6yrs ago. 8 months ago, thst young man permanently lost the battle. The family finds peace that he is no longer fighting his demons and has found peace, and i know my brother listens to this song often
I have also lost a son 27 years ago when he passed shortly after birth and this song hits breaks me it feels like his death was not long ago. No parent should ever bury a child it’s a grief we never get over.
You two make an absolutely beautiful couple. Your gentle spirits are so refreshing ❤️
When hes speaking of Uncle Sam, hes speaking of the military. This man is a true hero for this country!!! Much respect!!!
yes its true he also wrote a song for his wife when she had cancer but she is still here . thank you guys
The first time he sang it was on the Grand Ole Opry and he wasn't planning on singing it again. As he stepped off the stage he was encouraged by his opry family to keep singing.
Craig Morgan is an amazing individual with some great music. My two favorites are "That's what I love about Sunday" and "Almost Home".
Yes he did. He wrote this song after his son died. He sang it on the Grand Ole Opry, he was never going to sing it again, but his friends convinced him to record it. Said other people would need that song.
This song brings me to tears. It's so true and he's a true Military hero!!! He is a blessing from God. It's so true!!
His voice is emotional when he sings it. Love it
We lost our beautiful daughter faith in 2004 love this song and when you a your child it really breaks you
Seen you watching a Craig Morgan
Video.... my father the son and the Holy Ghost .... his son drown. He was only 19 yrs old and a very Christian like young man.
Loved seeing you and your beautiful wife commenting on it in. Positive HONEST!!! Way... watching you and your wife listening to it and seeing your reaction to that song made me realize...... everyone IS NOT!!!!!!!!
RACIEST!!!!! Just because someone is a different color or just different!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!❤️
Dale Brown
Craig is an amazing man, I dont know how many dads could even sing that without loosing it.....
I lost my 19-year-old son 20 years ago killed in the line of duty Newcastle Oklahoma Fire department, this song hits home hard for me
Yes, in 2016 Ceaig lost his 19 year old son. He was on a river in TN. being pulled on a tube, Jerry went under water an never reserviced and yes he had a life jacket on. Watch the clip of the Kelly Clarkson Show, she had Craig on the show talking about what happend, but if you do get the box of tissue.
Sharing another video, it's called ''TELL HIM'' by Jona & Klarisse.It were original sung by Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion.. Beautiful!! There from the Philippines..
My daughter would of been 30 years old this past October. I lost her when she was 4 months old. I know what Craig went through. Craig is an awesome guy. Very sorry his son passed away. Eric Clapton's son died 7 days after my daughter. Eric wrote "Tears In Heaven" because of it.
