It's the voice I fell in love with so many years ago. 😻 There's nothing wrong with using AI to help Randy produce this song. He was involved with it and he had final approval of it. As Mary, Randy's wife said, "You don't know how much you missed it until you hear it again." 😂😂😂 Now I don't want to hear any new AI music from deceased people like Johnny Cash; that's where I draw the line.
I like how you affirmed this is ''a tool'' which he can use to share his music with us all! He's got the music inside of him, and using AI in a confirmed way to 'his standards' and continue giving us of himself!....this is a good thing from my standpoint!
Awesome song! I'm so glad technology has came this far to help this amazing artist still do the things he loves after getting his voice taken from him.
I remember seeing a video clip where Charlie Daniels and Randy Travis were off the side of a stage at some big show. Randy looked emotional as Charlie was asking him if he wanted to be able to sing again, to which Randy nodded "Yeah". Then Charlie started praying over him right there. And here we are.. Charlie has since passed, but Randy Travis is finally able to produce music again. Even if he's not directly singing it himself. You know that lifted his spirit, as is evident in those videos of him laughing while showing the song to his friends.
I don't respond to these reactions videos because I just don't But I do watch them just to see what the difference in reaction are. But you sir I truly enjoyed watching because you felt this song as most people who have listened to it have and your opinion of how AI was used to or Randy and this song was right on. So right on for you. I willost definitely be a subscribeer.👍
I love your reaction and comparing the use of AI to resurrect Randy’s voice with using assistive technology to help disabled people live life more fully. I’ve listened to this song over and over tonight, as well as reaction videos. Ive been in tears for an hour. I’ve been a fan of his since the beginning.
Fact is this isn’t someone trying to trick you or fake their talent. This is someone using it for health reasons who is honest with you and not trying to trick you. I’m happy to hear his voice again.
there's a best behind-the-scenes video produced by CBS News reporter Lee Cowan. They actually had a demo artist record the tracks, and then they just layered Randy's voice over his voice with the help of AI tools of course ...it's really interesting how they made it.
A few familiar faces I've seen in the video; Clay Walker, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, Cole Swindell. I agree with you as well, if something is being used as a tool to assist someone who struggles to or is incapable of completing a task or performing, by all means go for it!
I’ve been a Randy Travis fan since day one. I have missed hearing his voice and am thrilled for this song, and him. With all genres using altering technology, this is just another example. These are Randy Travis’ vocals, only prerecorded and altered. He was involved and he approved. So good to hear from him again! If it had come from an artist that had already passed, my opinion would be different. Beautiful song!
EXACTLY!!! I just posted on this. It is OK because Randy was right there, able to approve or say no. He was part of every part of this process. Which was a brilliant use of AI, knowing millions of us would be so happy to hear Randy again, we'd overlook the larger ramifications. I do hope some laws get on the books quickly so record labels can't just go to their back catalog and do what they want with it. Elvis' estate won the right to control image and usage, but IMHO this needs to be clarified and quickly. I think most artists would not just approve of their AI use, and certainly not without someone at the helm they trust. I personally would be far more OK with a holographic Elvis or Freddie, singing only what they recorded versus new music from them.
Yes, this is the best possible use of AI. The main factor being Randy is still alive, and was able to say NO if he didn't feel the sound or song was up to his standard and approval. I think millions of us are so happy to hear new Randy Travis material that we are willing to overlook the larger and very real AI concerns. Where is the line, and who decides it? Should we all look forward to new Elvis, Freddie Mercury, etc etc music?? Who has that right of approval? While I think Riley Keough has a good head on her shoulders, she sadly wasn't alive to meet her Grandfather. Should that right fall to any next of kin? What about Freddie? He even made his wishes clear "do what you want with my music, just don't make me boring." BUT he never envisioned this possibility. Let's go deeper. If anyone was a Harry Chapin fan, you know no one before or since wrote anything similar to his songs. While I don't think enough folks remember him for it to be a serious concern, what do you do about material that even with AI can't replicate the original. AI may be great at fluffy similarities, but is nowhere near comparable to unique musical talents. It can replicate and create, but just like reading AI written stuff, the soul isn't in there. I had a friend test me w/2 paragraphs to prove this point. I could point to the AI after one sentence. Thankfully lol. But this lovely song leads to many complicated scenarios.
I've been a fan since 1980. I know ALL of his songs and the different inflections of his voice. This is incredible ai. There is no other voice like his and I'm so happy he has it back, in a way.
AI 100% nailed the voice. As i understand it was his writing, he just no longer had the ability to sing and play. But he did work with the team the produced this. I hope its just the begining from him, missed his music so much.
Yet, all is done with real music instruments and a real singer, but only the vocal of Randy has bin layed in, difference is that Randy was fully involved creating this song. This is a way I like, it is the people with a disability, to play sports with assistance.
Fishtank.. Did you know this? I just seen Randy Travis in concert in Montgomery Alabama.. They have a big screen playing in the back of the stage during the concert of his life and there you were! You. On the screen.. a clip of you reacting to his new AI song. His concert with Randy and his wife Mary sitting on the side of the stage while all of his videos in the background were playing and James Dupre singing all his songs. It was so awesome and emotional and his new AI song is so phenomenal! Loved your reaction to it and I loved seeing you on the big screen at the Randy Travis concert!!!
This is all I can say, I was skeptical of hearing this. I’m glad I did. I agree 100% with what you have said. I’m not Randy, who am I to judge him for wanting to do something like this?
What a beautiful beautiful song and RANDY TRAVIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC I wonder if it will bring back the ones who have passed away having NEW MUSIC. MAYBE HOPE SO ?
Bought it, LOVE IT, I can't wait for more. It's not A.I, it is ALL Randy with help from ML modeling, not unlike adding a million effects that we do to our tracks already.
Love it, lost my wife 4 yrs ago. She was my one and only for 42 yrs. We were both huge fans of Randy. My kids grew up listening to Randy and my son sent me a link to this one on messenger and I cried ugly all the way through it. Thanks to all the people who made this possible for this trip back in time and hearing from an old friend.
Take a listen to the bridge again. That’s the part where he explains he went out into the world, basically leaving her, but he realizes there ain’t no more where that came from.
So awesome! Cody Johnson posted a video alluding to this last week. Speaking of, Dirt Cheap is a track that you need to hear. It went pretty viral but I can't believe not enough people requested it once it came out last November
As far as things go, I think this is probably the best possible use-case for AI in music. Randy was along every step of the way and it was trained only on his own music so there was no theft of material.
I adore Randy, and I've missed him singing (saw him live in concert when I was a pre-teen)...seeing such pure joy & happiness on his face in this video really warms my heart! ❤ And what a beautiful song!
This is amazing. I wonder if they put all of his vocals from all his songs in the computer and the AI program can match his voice to the lyrics that he writes. Again this is absolutely wonderful, and it gives him the ability to make music that he wants to get out. Two thumbs up from me.
The song also strikes me a double-entendre acknowledging that this song is not Randy and there's no more where that came from. But this song is an example of a new, different world.
@@michaelshannon6558 As I understood it they used recordings from Randy's songs and layered another voice over it... one place it said they used the stem cells of Randy's voice... and that's how I like to think of it...
This is healing not just for us... But for the FAMILY..... Seeing him happy in the studio shows me that he has the drive to make music... The haters can kiss my ass... Told one to not let the door hit them in he ass on the way out... He wants to make music.. To those who want to piss on it have a low opinion of him... He is a man of music and music is life for him.... Those that use Tobi computers often have stiff robotic voices... This song sounds so smooth and pure... It is Randy... The AI really captured the man.....Thank goodness..... Let the man make music.. No one has the right to tell him what to do... If he is happy then I am too.......
I love your equivalency of Randy using AI to using an aid. Dead on point. The fact that he is embedded in the creation of this makes it a Randy Travis hit in my mind without asterisks. 100% Randy. It’s kinda hard not to tear up listening to the song if you are a life long Randy Travis fan.
I love Randy Travis and his new song. It's 42 vocals of his. I am very happy for him. And it's very wonderful to see him smile and laugh during the music video. He was right there when they were making the song. Let's show Randy the respect he deserves - and listen to this song of his and not criticize what Randy he has done with this song. This is what Randy wants to be able to sing for us again. This is a wonderful tool for Randy to use to sing new songs.
In my opinion, this isn’t a sad song about loss but instead, I think it means you won’t find another woman like her as there’s no more where that came from. I’m reminded of the saying “when God made you, he broke the mold.”
CBS Sunday morning showed behind the scenes and they had another vocalist sing the song and they had AI layer Randy's voice over it. I loved your reaction, it was almost mirrored mine. I have zero problems with it used like this, or if an aging artist who can't quite hit that note anymore using it, but decease artist who's estates might abuse the AI out of greed would be where I draw the line. I also think in the credits it needs to say the artist name "Assisted by AI" just so those who don't want to indulge won't feel duped.
That's a great explanation of the positive implications of AI. The technology has so many horrible ways it can be abused that it's easy to oppose it outright, but this is one example of how it can be used to positively impact the world. As my own mother suffered a debilitating stroke 2 months ago, my own reaction was an emotional one.
I'm behind Randy 100 percent I don't think he's talking about a girl I think he's talking about his voice it is a beautiful song maybe Randy can tell us who the songs about but I think it's about him losing his voice and finding it again
This isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, entirely AI. He has done stuff like sing the national anthem live since his stroke. I believe he sang this ahead of time and then they use AI to help improve it and make it sound a little bit better because his voice definitely is not what it used to be and he has a hard time holding notes steady. he came out with another song in 2021 as well, but I can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head.
I’m a huge Randy Travis fan. Have been for a very long time. I have mixed feelings about this song. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a great written song, but knowing a computer made it just feels wrong. I totally get what you’re saying about it’s a good thing because he’s not able to sing, but where does it stop? Are more artists going to go this route? How many computer generated songs will there be? Idk… I’m just on the fence about the whole thing.
The reason it doesn’t matter if it’s AI is because In his prime Randy could’ve damn well sang this song as well if not better than this. AND he played a part in it anyways.
Being a Randy Travis fan, i'm torn on this. Yes, AI can very accurately replicate voices, which is also scary, but I hear AI making the voices sound nearly perfect and the imperfections(cracks, vocal fry, etc.) in various voices make them unique! This song makes his voice sound better than it was in 1986. It's like we're trying to play God......
i am troubled by this, not so much for the ordinal artist using his voice or old tracks to create new songs it is after he passes and the family or estate or company that own the rights to the artists stuff then release new ai songs or full albums, like say an Elvis or Micheal Jackson. i find it distasteful and a money crab
I can't describe how much I hate this. Not the song, the song is great, but the how it was made. This technology is so dangerous, what laws are there that give artists rights to their own voice? Next there will be a new album from a dead artist, then record companies will be releasing music from current artists without their permission, cutting the performers out completely. In this situation, Randy had very little to do with the recording of the song
It's the voice I fell in love with so many years ago. 😻 There's nothing wrong with using AI to help Randy produce this song. He was involved with it and he had final approval of it.

Hope he has more songs to come.
I love it it sounds like him
I don’t care it’s AI. It’s Randy Travis. They used hi vocals from past to create this. They gave him back a big part of his life.
I'm not kidding I got to have Lunch With Randy Travis and watch him get into the NC MUSIC Hall of Fame.
There are good uses to AI this is a good example of a good use as for any technology there’s good and bad intentions
Beautiful song. Love Randy, AI or not!

good job randy
This is not Randy being better than he would be. I have listened to a lot of his music....this is Randy....even if it isn't somehow.

My husband been gone since 2011 I. Haven't seen went out with anyone Haven't thought. About it he can't be replaced
Randy will never pretend to play God, I can promise tot that. His voice did mature over the years.. and was velvet when he lost out to stroke-
Love this ❤
Absolutely zero complaints absolutely amazing and anyone who has a problem with this I feel sorry for you
I'm behind Randy 100 percent I don't think he's talking about a girl I think he's talking about his voice it is a beautiful song maybe Randy can tell us who the songs about but I think it's about him losing his voice and finding it again
This band is pure rebellion, like a rebellious squirrel stealing acorns from the establishment! Next reaction - Nick Thurl end up dead 😍

They used someone else to mimic and then ai toned over it with Randy's voice.
hi i miss him the vioce❤
it sure is good to hear Randy again.
beautiful music, keep them coming Randy Travis
Is the song really written by Travis ?
I’m a huge Randy Travis fan. Have been for a very long time. I have mixed feelings about this song. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a great written song, but knowing a computer made it just feels wrong. I totally get what you’re saying about it’s a good thing because he’s not able to sing, but where does it stop? Are more artists going to go this route? How many computer generated songs will there be? Idk… I’m just on the fence about the whole thing.
there's a guitar part in this i havent heard before... whats up with that?
The reason it doesn’t matter if it’s AI is because In his prime Randy could’ve damn well sang this song as well if not better than this. AND he played a part in it anyways.
You should listen to this " Myles Smith-Solo"
Being a Randy Travis fan, i'm torn on this. Yes, AI can very accurately replicate voices, which is also scary, but I hear AI making the voices sound nearly perfect and the imperfections(cracks, vocal fry, etc.) in various voices make them unique! This song makes his voice sound better than it was in 1986. It's like we're trying to play God......
Could you listen to the Lumineers please!
Gotta do gin and juice by Hardy snoop and Dre!!!!!!
He has done that already.
i am troubled by this, not so much for the ordinal artist using his voice or old tracks to create new songs it is after he passes and the family or estate or company that own the rights to the artists stuff then release new ai songs or full albums, like say an Elvis or Micheal Jackson. i find it distasteful and a money crab
What a mut.
Way too much narration
I think you are misinterpreting the song
Sorry I don't like a FAKE machine voice. there is too much tech nowadays, autotune, AI. If a band or a person can't sing then get out of the business.
I can't describe how much I hate this. Not the song, the song is great, but the how it was made. This technology is so dangerous, what laws are there that give artists rights to their own voice? Next there will be a new album from a dead artist, then record companies will be releasing music from current artists without their permission, cutting the performers out completely. In this situation, Randy had very little to do with the recording of the song
