His story reminded me when my son was delivering pizzas an elderly woman asked him if he could change a light bulb in her kitchen. She offered to pay him and he refused. He thinks she only ordered the pizza to get someone over there. She had the bulb out on the table ready. It was so sad, she had no one she could count on to help out.
I'm not living in a city right now ,I did in numerous huge cities when I was young which is the best because you're full of energy and the cities provide that energy...now that I'm older want the peace and quiet, friendly neighbors, slower place, nature, animals...unfortunately don't quite have all that I'm in a mid size town in a not so great state( their politics) and I'm at the age where my people I've known and loved are starting to get health problems, some have left this earth , and I have no children and my family is spread around the country. So yes...I'll probably be like the person he's singing about here. But in the mean time this channel here helps me "rock on" !!!🎵☮️👍
Well, don't keep us guessing - did he change the bulb!? Seriously, I have done remarkably simple things for older women living alone - changing a bulb, switching furnace filter, emptying and resetting rat traps, etc. I have been told I am a hero for doing such things. It just seems neighborly to me, but they just won't get done unless and until someone who can will do them.
And you know this boy's mama sent her son over to the old man's house not only so the old man would not be lonely, but so her son would have a male role model that he could develop a relationship with. Someone honest and upstanding to guide her son into manhood.
I'm 74, own more than 80 acres. My kids all know where to put my carcass within 24 hrs with no embalming. It's legal when you own your property. I'll rest in peace like " old man Wriggle". !
@@valhowe1950I'm with you! I told mine to put me in the ditch on the property and throw six feet of dirt over me. I'll see them again and this I know.
Here’s the blessing I was thinking about earlier…. If you’re truly a believer and I am a believer we’ll meet each other someday. I don’t believe there are strangers in Heaven. ❤
What no one ever seems to catch is the beauty of this precious older man taking time to spend with this kiddo who probably needed a strong male figure in his life. And because he developed a real relationship with him, when he shared his faith in Jesus with him, it left a legacy of faith with this boy. He didn’t shove the gospel down this kid’s throat, but when the boy asked how he handled his grief, he gave him a real answer. The strongest spiritual act you can do on this earth is love someone. Serve someone unselfishly. Because God is love. Thanks for a great reaction as always 🔥🔥🔥
This song is based on a real life situation that Ronnie Dunn experienced as a child. Ronnie Dunn took us to church with this song. So well written and well executed!
I haven't seen a lot of his reactions but I did see his original reaction to this song and he came really close to tears. I was wondering if he has listened to any Chris Stapleton?
During the first reaction to this song where it was just BP, he very specifically mentioned the "words in red". Unless I'm getting it confused with a different channel, but I thought it was him.
Hey Peg..you were right you know. About some of the people who watch the reaction channels. I’m 70, alone, my children away…no-one around. I watch you reacting to music and lyrics that I grew up with and it’s not just that I love the music but it’s also the connection to fellow humans. I know you guys didn’t elaborate on it but I saw the thought go across your mind and I wanted to tell you so. Later…🎉
Many days reaction channels are the closest I have to a conversation. Actually, sometimes it's better ...when I think of long-winded or annoying people. 😂 I can turn them off or to another one without anyone getting upset.
If a child isn't exposed to racism and hate then he will grows to treat everyone the same and the world learn to work together, after all, we are all one family in God's eyes, having love in your heart is the greatest thing you could ever have in life cause love also has respect and care for others too.
Don, BP, I'm almost 50 and cry to this song every time I hear it. We've all got that one person this song reminds us of. Great reaction, time for me to dry my eyes and get on with my day. Love and miss you dad!
Don, it is wonderful to hear you speak of your kindness to widows who have no one to help with such simple things as changing light bulbs, getting the lid off a pickle jar, and lifting something that is just too heavy for them. Getting older is not for sissies, and I have learned to put my pride aside and ask for help from young folks, who actually seem to be pleased to lend a hand. My son never comes around, my grandchildren are off in another state at college, and life gets pretty lonesome most days. I watch your reaction show because I love the music you play of my young generation and get tickled at how much you seem to actually like it. We had great musicians in my teenage years that I have now come to really appreciate, Elvis, Bee Gees, Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Carpenters, Eagles, and so many many more. Thank you guys for a delightful afternoon !
I know just what you mean. I am 68. My husband died 21 yrs ago. I finished raising our youngest 2 without him. We had 5. Now they're all grown, families of their own. I am lucky to have 1 granddaughter and she lives with me at this time. She is a big help to me. I have one daughter that lives close by n we help each other. With my health issues I don't know what I'd do without them! I believe!
This Man needed the Boy in his life and the boy needed him. The man that sang this wrote it because he became a believer because of this Older Gentlemans faith❤
Don't let the failure of humans miss the glory of God. We are all imperfect and not one of us knows the truth. That is why it is called faith and belief not knowledge. The greatest gift God ever gave us is our biggest burden, free will. It is up to each of us what we do with it and we all face the consequences.
You guys make a terrific team. It's great to see reactors who actually listen to a song rather than interrupting every 16 seconds, and then have an intelligent, real-life conversation about what they've just heard. It doesn't matter whether I agree with your opinion -- and sometimes I don't. But your reactions seem honest, and that makes tuning in rewarding as well as entertaining.
You can't look at nature, and the makeup of the human body, and not know there is not a creator, and intelligent design. A baby being born is a miracle.
@cindyk.6462 right now I can not. I am angry God took my baby. We have this love hate relationship right now. I am working on it slowly but it has only been 5 1/2 months
Kathryn, my daughter will be forever 20. This song is so powerful. I can understand the anger, I know that pain. I was angry at God for taking her home, and angry because she didn’t have a seatbelt on and that was so unusual for her. I recommend you listen to Diamond Rio’s song - I Believe Completely. It’s well worth the listen. Your sweet baby is only a thought away. Love for our children is eternal. We will see them again when we pass over. I’m excited because I have grieved for 22 years now and I have learned more about love and life than I ever thought possible. ❤❤❤
Tell Don I'm one of those old widows and he's right .... sometimes it's impossible to find someone to help you. My daughter has her own health issues and my son is 7 states away! Over the years, I've had to figure it out and the rest, I just let it go. Not gonna spend my last years on earth stressing about a well manicured lawn or a clean house. Me and my cats & dogs will be ok with God's help but it sure is a HUGE blessing when someone offers to help!!!!
This is how I grew up. We had a "Widow Woman" down the road from my childhood home. She would let us kids pick fruit off of her trees. The Moms would send us to deliver dinner or sometimes homemade jelly or pie from her fruit. I used to sweep her sidewalk while she told me stories or sang gospel hymns. Beautiful memories ❤
Oh wow, I’ve never heard this before what a beautiful song, what a voice 😭 A beautiful message. I thank goodness for my neighbours who have helped me since I was widowed, they would do anything to help me day or night. Bless you Don for helping some of the elders you have met. Keep up the great work.
In our neighborhood if your yard went ten days since the last time you mowed, it got mowed. Neighbors knew when you were sick, when there was an illness in the family; the doorbell would ring and there would be a hot meal, a hot plate of cookies..... Then there's the Church family.... STAY CONNECTED! Pay Attention.
Found your channel & became subrciber by seeing your Elvis reaction Check out American Trilogy song from live Elvis concert, Aloha from Hawaii, which was the first worldwide live concert that was broadcast by satellite and was seen by over 40 countries, and was seen by 1.5 billion viewers. It's still today the most watched entertainment show with only one performer and Amsrong walking on the moon! All the profits went to the Kui Lee Cancer Foundation, This concert turns 50 years old and still is impressive how ahead of his time was! Keep staying real! Congrats for the new baby!
Another great country song is the legend George Jones he stopped loving her today And another one that would probably make you tear up is brad paisley whiskey lullaby
Thanks for your channel I’m a 65 year old man that grew up listening to everything from country rock to R&B keep it real music comes from the heart and touches the soul
This is why I love reactions. Fantastic share! Btw, how cool is it to have a good friend that feels free to open up? That is true friendship. Great reaction and share, sirs!!🤓🤠👊🏼
Mr Wrigley had a big impact on this young man. Seeing the pictutes of Mr. Wrigley on the young man's wall in college says it all. Mr. Wrigley was a great man and the kid knew this from his childhood.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! All of Brooks & Dunn I'm elderly so I have all of Brooks & Dunn's CD's. It all started with Boot Scootin Boogie. And I love Neon Moon play them all
My sister and I just moved. We’re both in our 60’s and have trouble doing certain things. Our custodian is always there when we need help. He does get paid by he complex but we are so grateful for him ❤
From what I remember when Brooks & Dunn first got big they did more upbeat, fun, "honky-tonk" songs, like Boot Scoot Boogy, Rock My World Lil Country Girl, etc but when they did songs like this they really shine in my opinion. It goes to show just how much range they had and speaks volumes to their talent.
HUMAN CONNECTION: there's not much MORE VALUABLE. Everyone just needs to know that they MATTER to SOMEONE! This song embodies that. The two characters really needed EACH OTHER! Can't make it through this one, YET, without tearing-up. THANKS for reacting to this one, Guys!! There should be more old men that share their knowledge and kindness with young people....there should be more boys that learn from that experience and kindness, shared....and, there should be MORE MOMMAs that send their child over to "take things" to those people: EVERYONE GAINS. It's what I think our world is missing, more and more. This song reminds me of people / communities when I was growing up....but: I'm old. THANKS for THIS ONE, GUYS!!! HUGS!!
I feel the same way as Don about growing up in the Catholic church. Didn't get answers that made sense, so I left, but "I Believe" we will see our loved ones on the other side. It's all about community and loving our neighbors. Great reaction!❤
My sister passed last year. I just went the funeral of her husband. There are definitely those for whom death is nothing to fear. I know they are are both happy at their reunion.
More of an analytical review than just a regular music reaction video. I love the in depth aspect of the song and reaction after with comparing parallels. You guys hit on something that a lot of minds can't grasp in the chaos and turmoil in the world today. And i truly thank the both of you from the pit of my soul. God Bless you and the U.S.A.
This song does pull at the heartstrings. It's a beautiful song and he has a great voice. I've seen this video once before, can't say where or when and didn't know the group was Brookes and Dunne so I'm grateful to see this again and know who sang it. Really like when you have Don join you in the reactions. I like that you want to share your discoveries with other reactors and get their take on things you've already reacted to.
Tears and chills. I cry every time I see this. I grew u in a very small Georgia town in middle Georgia and this is how it was. Neighbors looking after each other.
This song made me blubber the first time I heard it. It's a wonderfully heart-warming story with a real moral. Old man Wrigley shared the Gospel with the young boy in a very tangible way. Our lives are a journey. Find the truth.
You are the first person I've seen react to this song that actually mentioned the mother in this story. I've been waiting for someone to take notice of that and talk about it.
My dad had a King James bible. It was the only version/translation we had in my house when I was young. But Dad's bible had all of the words that were Jesus' quotes in red. As years went by, I sometimes picked up his bible to leaf through it. I found the words written in red underlined over and over. My dad was a good/bad person. Sometimes thoughtful and kind. Always broken. He died believing in the red words. When I went through his bible after he died, only the section of the Old Testament he'd underlined was the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." The page was torn due to the number of times he'd underlined it. It was an interesting song. Thanks for letting me listen.
Thanks for sharing. My grandpa was a small town preacher, a great intellect, a stern Texas poor boy, a man who loved his family and his God. I have one of his Bibles and treasure it.
Ronnnie Dunn had a song out after Brooks and Dunn went their separate ways, I Worship the Woman you walked on, it’s amazing and his vocals are unmatched ❤
Ronnie Dun broke off on his own for a bit and did a song that hits me hard called Cost of Living. Its based on true events and is about life after a plant shut down in a small town. Love to hear your take!
Dierks Bentley, Riser or I Hold On. Your correct, after being injuried last summer and now in my 9th month of recovery. The isolation has been terrible. Reactions and the creators have been my lifeline. I've learned new music and thanks for the company.
This song hits every single time especially now that my dad has passed and I picture my kiddos in this video cause they were so close...lord this song!
As a lifelong fan of country and classic rock and some hip hop in the 90s and I think it's just beautiful that we're finally at a place that we are able to the beauty in all genres music right! Like they are all written differently they have different beats and such but in the end music not country rap blues etc but music is the universal language and whether your politically on the right or left music has a way of allowing people to see different perspectives and shows us how to love and connect with others while also allowing us to find common ground and show us that we aren't so different after all
From what I have been told, "honkytonk" was an onomatopoeia of the sounds that came from early low-rent bars. It became associated with a type of rhythm driven piano forward music.
True, although there's no real consensus on how the phrase originated, it became a common lable for smaller "dive bars" with driving loud music, mainly in the lower Midwest and Texas.
I have one foot in each world and it has been to my benefit. I was from Orange County, CA and I married a man who grew up on a family farm in Missouri. We almost made it to 50 years but he passed six years ago. We lived in every time zone, some twice. We lived in major cities and tiny towns. We had great friends in all of them and our kids grew up being comfortable in Newport Beach and on a tractor counting calves. My grand kids have had a little of it but some of the older ones have passed on so they don’t go back and forth every year. We raised ours in Colorado. Back when Denver was called a cow town with class.
This popped up after watching BP's reaction to "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty (another awesome tune). BP not wanting to be entombed in a casket makes sense for someone with a free spirit. I'm more with Don about being "worm food" because embalming freaks me out too. That method of preserving bodies was particularly important when sending bodies of deceased soldiers back home from overseas. It is also helpful for an industry that profits from delaying the decaying process to hold paid ceremonies. None of this is necessary. Nature recycles regardless of how much we may try to manipulate or override it.
Everything beautiful I know how to do is because of my grandmother who lived in a small house in Kansas. I am blessed to have her rose that she started ages ago. That’s legacy and it sustains me. All children should have that gift.
I would love to see people be able to live together in one large house, like boarders in the old days. Maybe a a widow who doesnt want to leave the house shes raised her family and lived in for 50 yrs, a younger person going thru hard times not able to pay for outragoeous rents but can help with the large house ,yard , others with other capablaskills to help...pitching in with groceries ,cleaning, meals...but who can trust anyone these days!
His story reminded me when my son was delivering pizzas an elderly woman asked him if he could change a light bulb in her kitchen. She offered to pay him and he refused. He thinks she only ordered the pizza to get someone over there. She had the bulb out on the table ready. It was so sad, she had no one she could count on to help out.
Thanks for sharing this with us❤
😢So sweet and sad
I'm not living in a city right now ,I did in numerous huge cities when I was young which is the best because you're full of energy and the cities provide that energy...now that I'm older want the peace and quiet, friendly neighbors, slower place, nature, animals...unfortunately don't quite have all that I'm in a mid size town in a not so great state( their politics) and I'm at the age where my people I've known and loved are starting to get health problems, some have left this earth , and I have no children and my family is spread around the country. So yes...I'll probably be like the person he's singing about here. But in the mean time this channel here helps me "rock on" !!!🎵☮️👍
Thank you for sharing this. There are people that are all alone. Your son made a difference that day.
Well, don't keep us guessing - did he change the bulb!?
Seriously, I have done remarkably simple things for older women living alone - changing a bulb, switching furnace filter, emptying and resetting rat traps, etc. I have been told I am a hero for doing such things. It just seems neighborly to me, but they just won't get done unless and until someone who can will do them.
This is a true story from Ronnie Dunn's childhood. He's the singer.
He did it in one take.
This is not from his childhood, this is someone else's song that he co wrote on
Research shows it was written by Ronnie in regards to his childhood.
@@lisagiroux55, yes, you are correct.
NOT A TRUE STORY! Ronnie has said as much on several occasions!
And you know this boy's mama sent her son over to the old man's house not only so the old man would not be lonely, but so her son would have a male role model that he could develop a relationship with. Someone honest and upstanding to guide her son into manhood.
I'm 74, own more than 80 acres. My kids all know where to put my carcass within 24 hrs with no embalming. It's legal when you own your property. I'll rest in peace like " old man Wriggle". !
You're so right mama. And then friendship lightens up our world. 💞
I think to teach him to be kind to and giving to everyone
@@valhowe1950I'm with you! I told mine to put me in the ditch on the property and throw six feet of dirt over me. I'll see them again and this I know.
At 74 with the wins and losses at my back, all of my family gone and 2 children lost to this world. " I Believe"
God Bless You. I'm sorry for your losses. But I'm so glad for all you have gained. I too believe.
Amen!! 🙏God Bless you!!! ❤️ I Believe ✨
God knows right where they are. He will never let them go. Just believe
Here’s the blessing I was thinking about earlier…. If you’re truly a believer and I am a believer we’ll meet each other someday. I don’t believe there are strangers in Heaven. ❤
@@birdyseeds Looking forward to that time, Birdy

This song is based on a real life situation that Ronnie Dunn experienced as a child. Ronnie Dunn took us to church with this song. So well written and well executed!
Not sure how much you have heard of lead singer Ronnie Dunn, but I could listen to that man sing a phone book. Great voice!
I think My Maria should be the next B&D reaction, just to showcase what he can do with his voice.
I haven't seen a lot of his reactions but I did see his original reaction to this song and he came really close to tears. I was wondering if he has listened to any Chris Stapleton?
It takes a real man to cry and country music can do that to ya 🇺🇸
Pirates of the Mississippi "Feed Jake" gets me every damn time. 😂
Loved he mentions the words written in RED!!! So important but , not sure if most listening even knows what that means.
I came here to see if someone made this comment. Or if someone noted that it was a Bible on the porch. Words in RED... the words of JESUS . ❤
During the first reaction to this song where it was just BP, he very specifically mentioned the "words in red". Unless I'm getting it confused with a different channel, but I thought it was him.
As Dr. Phil always said, big boys may not cry but real men do! Great song and reaction.
Hey Peg..you were right you know. About some of the people
who watch the reaction channels. I’m 70, alone, my children
away…no-one around. I watch you reacting to music and lyrics
that I grew up with and it’s not just that I love the music but it’s
also the connection to fellow humans. I know you guys didn’t

I turned 50 last year. Time flies by so fast. Every time I see this video and it tears me up. Ronnie Dunn is amazing
If a child isn't exposed to racism and hate then he will grows to treat everyone the same and the world learn to work together, after all, we are all one family in God's eyes, having love in your heart is the greatest thing you could ever have in life cause love also has respect and care for others too.
Lee Ann Womack's song "DANCE" makes me tear up ...absolutely beautiful!
Yes. Gotta hear and react to this one! (With your wife)
Please react to this...
I hope you dance - - beautiful song.
Agreed. I also love Miranda Lambert " Tin Man". I bet he'd enjoy both of those songs.
I've been telling him all week to play that song since he had a baby this week! I imagine him rappin' it to his girls someday hahahah the "remix"!
Don, BP, I'm almost 50 and cry to this song every time I hear it. We've all got that one person this song reminds us of. Great reaction, time for me to dry my eyes and get on with my day.
Love and miss you dad!
Don, it is wonderful to hear you speak of your kindness to widows who have no one to help with such simple things as changing light bulbs, getting the lid off a pickle jar, and lifting something that is just too heavy for them.

I know just what you mean. I am 68. My husband died 21 yrs ago. I finished raising our youngest 2 without him. We had 5. Now they're all grown, families of their own. I am lucky to have 1 granddaughter and she lives with me at this time. She is a big help to me. I have one daughter that lives close by n we help each other. With my health issues I don't know what I'd do without them! I believe!
I lost my son 25 years old and the only thing that keeps going is the faith I will see him again. Christopher Anthony Deleon 25 forever
This Man needed the Boy in his life and the boy needed him. The man that sang this wrote it because he became a believer because of this Older Gentlemans faith❤
Need to react to "My Maria"! Ronnie Dunn has an amazing vocal range! 🤠
Don't let the failure of humans miss the glory of God. We are all imperfect and not one of us knows the truth. That is why it is called faith and belief not knowledge. The greatest gift God ever gave us is our biggest burden, free will. It is up to each of us what we do with it and we all face the consequences.
CONCRETE ANGEL is another tear Jerk-er by Martina McBride, great vocalist
Also, "Whiskey Lullaby", by Brad Paisley!!
Yes instant tears to Concrete Angel. That and Craig Morgan Father My Son and the Holy Ghost. I can’t get through that song. 😭😭
Also, "Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll.
You guys make a terrific team.

You can't look at nature, and the makeup of the human body, and not know there is not a creator, and intelligent design. A baby being born is a miracle.
Of course you can. It is called evolution.
And intelligent design would have also given us eyes in the back of our heads too.
@@seanscanlon9067 I guess your ancestors are monkeys, mine aren't.
My 1st time hearing this song myself brought me to my knees. My daughter was murdered Thanksgiving day 2023. My baby will always be 21.
((((BIG HUG))))
oh hon, I'm so very sorry....please call out to the Lord...he will give you the strength and the comfort you need...God bless you...
@cindyk.6462 right now I can not. I am angry God took my baby. We have this love hate relationship right now. I am working on it slowly but it has only been 5 1/2 months

True story from Ronnie Dunn. Love Brooks and Dunn
Don got me choking up there! This is a special song. Always hits hard.
One of the greatest songs ever done by Brooks & Dunn--hell, ever frankly.
This is how I grew up. We had a "Widow Woman" down the road from my childhood home. She would let us kids pick fruit off of her trees. The Moms would send us to deliver dinner or sometimes homemade jelly or pie from her fruit. I used to sweep her sidewalk while she told me stories or sang gospel hymns. Beautiful memories ❤
This is a true story from Ronnie Dunns life. This wonderful old man led Ronnie to the Lord and salvation.✝️❤️
Ever time I hear this I cry😢❤
Oh wow, I’ve never heard this before what a beautiful song, what a voice 😭 A beautiful message. I thank goodness for my neighbours who have helped me since I was widowed, they would do anything to help me day or night. Bless you Don for helping some of the elders you have met. Keep up the great work.
"I BELIEVE" 🙏This song ALWAYS gives me chills & Tears❤️✨
Ronnie sang that with every bit of sole in his body!!
In our neighborhood if your yard went ten days since the last time you mowed, it got mowed. Neighbors knew when you were sick, when there was an illness in the family; the doorbell would ring and there would be a hot meal, a hot plate of cookies.....
Then there's the Church family....
STAY CONNECTED!
Pay Attention.
I've never made it through this without tearing up.
I watch reactions because somehow it makes me feel closer to people I'll never know.
I shed a waterfall of tears every time I hear this song. It is almost like a hymn of worship.

greatest tenor singer in country music....
What a beautiful voice. He can sing and tell stores.
Never ever get tired of this song !! And yes it is very emotional !! ( Brooks & Dunn - Neon Moon ) is another banger !!!
This is why I love reactions. Fantastic share! Btw, how cool is it to have a good friend that feels free to open up? That is true friendship. Great reaction and share, sirs!!🤓🤠👊🏼
Mr Wrigley had a big impact on this young man. Seeing the pictutes of Mr. Wrigley on the young man's wall in college says it all. Mr. Wrigley was a great man and the kid knew this from his childhood.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! All of Brooks & Dunn I'm elderly so I have all of Brooks & Dunn's CD's. It all started with Boot Scootin Boogie.
And I love Neon Moon play them all
I played this song for my Pawpaw right before he passed… it never fails to make me cry.
My sister and I just moved. We’re both in our 60’s and have trouble doing certain things. Our custodian is always there when we need help. He does get paid by he complex but we are so grateful for him ❤
my first time too - excellent vocal expression throughout. Thank you
From what I remember when Brooks & Dunn first got big they did more upbeat, fun, "honky-tonk" songs, like Boot Scoot Boogy, Rock My World Lil Country Girl, etc but when they did songs like this they really shine in my opinion. It goes to show just how much range they had and speaks volumes to their talent.
I’ve heard this song over a hundred times and I still cry.
This song always gets me. So gorgeous.
It's like Mr. Wrigley turned the bible pages to show the pic of his wife at the end to show the young man that he was back with his wife.
This is a true story. That's why there's so much true emotion when he sings.
HUMAN CONNECTION: there's not much MORE VALUABLE. Everyone just needs to know that they MATTER to SOMEONE! This song embodies that. The two characters really needed EACH OTHER! Can't make it through this one, YET, without tearing-up. THANKS for reacting to this one, Guys!! There should be more old men that share their knowledge and kindness with young people....there should be more boys that learn from that experience and kindness, shared....and, there should be MORE MOMMAs that send their child over to "take things" to those people: EVERYONE GAINS. It's what I think our world is missing, more and more. This song reminds me of people / communities when I was growing up....but: I'm old. THANKS for THIS ONE, GUYS!!! HUGS!!
I feel the same way as Don about growing up in the Catholic church. Didn't get answers that made sense, so I left, but "I Believe" we will see our loved ones on the other side. It's all about community and loving our neighbors. Great reaction!❤
I was so hoping you would get to this song! It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it, always gets to me!
You need to next do Brooks and Dunn " Only in America" - a great song and somewhat patriotic as well
My sister passed last year. I just went the funeral of her husband. There are definitely those for whom death is nothing to fear. I know they are are both happy at their reunion.
This song is so touching, absolutely beautiful.❤️✌🏻🎶
More of an analytical review than just a regular music reaction video. I love the in depth aspect of the song and reaction after with comparing parallels. You guys hit on something that a lot of minds can't grasp in the chaos and turmoil in the world today. And i truly thank the both of you from the pit of my soul. God Bless you and the U.S.A.
This song does pull at the heartstrings. It's a beautiful song and he has a great voice. I've seen this video once before, can't say where or when and didn't know the group was Brookes and Dunne so I'm grateful to see this again and know who sang it.
Really like when you have Don join you in the reactions. I like that you want to share your discoveries with other reactors and get their take on things you've already reacted to.
Tears and chills. I cry every time I see this. I grew u in a very small Georgia town in middle Georgia and this is how it was. Neighbors looking after each other.
This song made me blubber the first time I heard it. It's a wonderfully heart-warming story with a real moral. Old man Wrigley shared the Gospel with the young boy in a very tangible way. Our lives are a journey. Find the truth.
You are the first person I've seen react to this song that actually mentioned the mother in this story. I've been waiting for someone to take notice of that and talk about it.
Thank you bro for hitting this song several times. It probably deserves the play.
My dad had a King James bible. It was the only version/translation we had in my house when I was young. But Dad's bible had all of the words that were Jesus' quotes in red. As years went by, I sometimes picked up his bible to leaf through it. I found the words written in red underlined over and over.
My dad was a good/bad person. Sometimes thoughtful and kind. Always broken.
He died believing in the red words.
When I went through his bible after he died, only the section of the Old Testament he'd underlined was the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." The page was torn due to the number of times he'd underlined it.
It was an interesting song. Thanks for letting me listen.
Thanks for sharing. My grandpa was a small town preacher, a great intellect, a stern Texas poor boy, a man who loved his family and his God. I have one of his Bibles and treasure it.
Ronnnie Dunn had a song out after Brooks and Dunn went their separate ways, I Worship the Woman you walked on, it’s amazing and his vocals are unmatched ❤
Ronnie Dun broke off on his own for a bit and did a song that hits me hard called Cost of Living. Its based on true events and is about life after a plant shut down in a small town. Love to hear your take!
Didn’t think I had onions in the house. Guess I’ll mark them off my grocery list 😢
Wow! Haven't heard this song in year's! Love it❤ best reaction video ever watched. Thank you
Dierks Bentley, Riser or I Hold On.
Your correct, after being injuried last summer and now in my 9th month of recovery. The isolation has been terrible. Reactions and the creators have been my lifeline. I've learned new music and thanks for the company.
I’m glad I’m from a small town. Does it get lonely sometime sure. But I’m glad I live where I live.
This song hits every single time especially now that my dad has passed and I picture my kiddos in this video cause they were so close...lord this song!
Garth Brooks holds the record in USA in matter of Biggeset Live Audience!❤.
As a lifelong fan of country and classic rock and some hip hop in the 90s and I think it's just beautiful that we're finally at a place that we are able to the beauty in all genres music right! Like they are all written differently they have different beats and such but in the end music not country rap blues etc but music is the universal language and whether your politically on the right or left music has a way of allowing people to see different perspectives and shows us how to love and connect with others while also allowing us to find common ground and show us that we aren't so different after all
This song and video is timeless and never loses it's power no matter how many times you hear and watch it.
From what I have been told, "honkytonk" was an onomatopoeia of the sounds that came from early low-rent bars. It became associated with a type of rhythm driven piano forward music.
True, although there's no real consensus on how the phrase originated, it became a common lable for smaller "dive bars" with driving loud music, mainly in the lower Midwest and Texas.
Pretty word for word definition on Google...
A beautiful and touching reaction. Thank you so much.
Love that song, makes me tear up and remember my past. ❤️
The lead vocalist is Dunn. This song gives me chills and makes me cry every time I listen to it 🥹🥹😢😢! It’s beautiful…
Rarely does a song bring tears to my eyes, but this one did. So much truth, wisdom, and reality wrapped into one song.
Omg .. I think I might start liking this guy! He feels compation!
I have one foot in each world and it has been to my benefit. I was from Orange County, CA and I married a man who grew up on a family farm in Missouri. We almost made it to 50 years but he passed six years ago. We lived in every time zone, some twice. We lived in major cities and tiny towns. We had great friends in all of them and our kids grew up being comfortable in Newport Beach and on a tractor counting calves. My grand kids have had a little of it but some of the older ones have passed on so they don’t go back and forth every year. We raised ours in Colorado. Back when Denver was called a cow town with class.
I tear up about 5 seconds in. And Ive watched umptren reactions to this. Still tearing up!
Thanks for being genuine and truthful, Don...it's beautiful to see such vulnerability
This popped up after watching BP's reaction to "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty (another awesome tune). BP not wanting to be entombed in a casket makes sense for someone with a free spirit. I'm more with Don about being "worm food" because embalming freaks me out too. That method of preserving bodies was particularly important when sending bodies of deceased soldiers back home from overseas. It is also helpful for an industry that profits from delaying the decaying process to hold paid ceremonies. None of this is necessary. Nature recycles regardless of how much we may try to manipulate or override it.
You're speaking my language there...
One of my all time favorite songs.
Don you just made me cry.😢 Thank you for sharing that remarkable story you just shared. Watching from Virginia
Thank You for the great emotional review. The song is one of my favorites by Brooks and Dunn.
Everything beautiful I know how to do is because of my grandmother who lived in a small house in Kansas. I am blessed to have her rose that she started ages ago. That’s legacy and it sustains me. All children should have that gift.
Beautiful song made me tear up . Its true the older you get the more you can connect to God , well thats how its been for me .
Honky-tonk bar is basically just a version for southern country bar
Such a beautiful song.
Thank you so much for sharing this song!
I would love to see people be able to live together in one large house, like boarders in the old days. Maybe a a widow who doesnt want to leave the house shes raised her family and lived in for 50 yrs, a younger person going thru hard times not able to pay for outragoeous rents but can help with the large house ,yard , others with other capablaskills to help...pitching in with groceries ,cleaning, meals...but who can trust anyone these days!
Perfect song, perfectly sung and filmed.
I don’t know how you could hear and watch this and not cry!
