Great song!! My wife and I have adopted 7 kids. I was listening to that song one day and my oldest boy was in the truck with me. He told me that song was about me.
A good country song can make you sad, a GREAT country song can tear your heart out and leave you in tears. This one is GREAT. Glad you're starting to like some country
I LOL'd when you said "don't break my heart" right as you were about to hear the most heartbreaking country song ever written. OF COUSE your heart will shatter!
Alison Krauss is someone that deserves a deep dive. Until she was recently passed by Beyoncé, she held the record for the most Grammy wins of any singer in history. 27 Grammys And Beyoncé has had the advantage of there now being more categories than when Alison was most active.
I’ve never seen a better video that so quickly shows the disease side of alcoholism and heart break for that matter. It’s sad and so tragic. Their voices together are haunting.
Hey Vicki, Be quiet. You have know clue what you're talking about. This is not a video about the disease side of alcoholism. The video portrays a man coming home from war or it could be a man coming home early from work finding his wife cheating. Yes, did he turn to the bottle absolutely, but he was over it and this is how he chose to handle it because getting cheating on sucks for both both men and woman.
@@hawk7469 of course the video is about cheating and the song too. My point was that Ricky did an excellent job in just a few frames showing the downward spiral of alcoholism. They go from beautiful to wrecked in just a few bars of the song. Of course they were drinking because of the cheating and the guilt but alcoholism is what killed them both. “Put the bottle to his/her head and pulled the trigger”. And yes I do know what I’m talking about. My step dad and mom split because of whiskey and after he was in ICU and almost died of liver failure. He put down the bottle thank God and is doing great today but we almost lost him. He’s such a different man sober.
@@hawk7469 PS: the be quiet and don’t know what I’m talking about is uncalled for. Chill out it’s music and all music is open to interpretation. This is my interpretation and as it had 106 likes by the time you commented I’m going to say I’m not the only one who feels this way. It sounds like you were cheated on. If so I’m sorry for that but lashing out at people in the comments section over their opinion of someone else’s opinion of a song is a waste of energy. Just saying. Enjoy the song and video it’s a good one.
His ribbons and badge indicates he was a combat veteran in Europe during WWII. One of the ribbons is a purple heart, he was wounded in battle. As a combat infantryman myself I can state clearly the transition from combat to civilian life if very difficult. The one thing that was holding him together was the dream of returning to his loving wife, the safety of civilian life, getting a good job and raising a family. Seeing his wife in bed with another man broke him and as it turned out beyond repair. I can tell you that someone that has seen combat never really gets over it, you just learn to deal with the memories. Unfortunately far to many don't and they take a destructive path to deal with the pain and memories.
I was a bartender at the American Legion in my early 20s. I was talking with a group of regulars about how I didn't think I would be good in the military because I didn't think I could kill anyone. Every single one of them agreed that every human is capable of killing if it's the life of your people, or your own on the line. I remember this conversation distinctly because old veterans of mixed branches love arguing with each other, but they all very seriously agreed on this, and very few other topics.
Allison Krause has quite a resume. 27 Grammys,her first when she was 18. 8 CMAs ,14 ACMs , she is one of the best Country/ Bluegrass singers, songwriters, and producers in the business. Check her out, she is for real , and will end up being a Legend!!
Years ago I read an article about this song. I never realized that the little blonde haired girl at the end of the video is their daughter. She turned and was able to see the forgiveness and her parents back together but in death. It makes the song even better!
@Vyselink If she's not their daughter, who would she be?? Brad said in an interview that she was their daughter so I'm going with the guy who actually sang it.
@@larynanntapp6333 I'd have to see this interview, as most people say "but I heard it here so it must be true" and then never provide the proof. But the video itself holds all the clues. Listen to the words in the music video "When you get back we'll START our family". Clearly they hadn't had a child yet, and when he gets back she's in bed with someone else, so they didn't have one after. The songs narrators are friends of the couple, and there are two children at the end of the video, which are clearly the children of the two people who buried her ("WE laid her next to him beneath the willow"). Also the little girl is older than any child would have been even if they had had one before/soon after he left for the war.
@Vyselink Sorry but my uncle died tonight and I'm not in the mood to find an interview from years ago. And in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter. Have a nice evening.
As someone whose father died from alcoholism, this song tears me up every time. He drank to cope with the stuff he dealt with in the war. He suffered from really bad PTSD and was never prescribed meds for it.
TY for your post Nina. I've been sober 26 yrs and tho I never abused my 3 girls I sure neglected them and caused them so much sorrow and fear. I got sober when they were 4, 5 & 8 yo. You remind me of why I stayed in my recovery all these yrs. May I never forget. So sorry for your loss and that the disease got the best of him but you loved him anyway. May what was good in him bring u comfort and peace.
im sorry for you, my father was an alcoholic aswell but he got his shit together and is sober, but now im the same as me dad, the apple never falls far from the tree...I dont know how to stop drinking it breaks me
@@Toujeo my brother in law drank himself to death. I saw him near death. His stomach was extended, eyes yellow. A few days later we sat by his bed as his breaths became widely spaced. A short time later he fell silent. A few years earlier his father died of Bud Lite poisoning. Actually it was lung cancer. We were at the hospital awaiting the news of the removal of a lung. He didn’t make it. Both loved their drink.
Can't believe you didn't mention Alison's voice! Woman is generally considered to have the voice of an angel, be one of the most pitch accurate singers around and just generally a highly respected singer/fiddle player among other musicians..to the tune of 27 Grammys!
That’s why I don’t listen to these kinds of country songs. I can appreciate they may be masterpieces of emotional storytelling, and full of skillful singing and playing, but they are simply too depressing for me. I can get stuck if I don’t mind my mood.
Check out Allison Krause she is amazing beautiful voice. Her genre is bluegrass and country When you say nothing at all Down to the river to pray are 2 of my favorites you will not be disappointed by her angelic voice
Love this song! Not just for the story telling aspect but the way Brad and Alison harmonize so beautifully! Alison is a big deal in blue grass music genre! She looks and sounds like an angel without any effort!!! Thanks for sharing! Love from Texas!!!
It’s a story of redemption. Regardless whether it happened here or on the other side of eternity. The story is: love redeems all. Forgiveness redeems all. That’s my take on it anyway. Hope it’s yours as well.
Rick (ricky) Schroeder (child actor grew up well) makes the video special. Note that some of the extras were also in the Brooks and Dunn "Believe" clip. Chris Stapletons clip "Fire Away" about depression also is beautiful and tragic.
Some other very emotional country songs. A wide range of emotions here! Love,Me (Colin raye) Don't tale the Girl ĺtim Mcgraw) There goes My Life ĺKenny Chesney) Concrete angel (martina mcbride)
Give “When I get where I’m going” his duet with Dolly a listen. It’s uplifting & heart wrenching. Makes me cry every time I hear it. Beautiful message. The official video is emotional. Bring a tissue, you’ll need it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
You went thru ALL the emotions we all go thru watching this! I’ve finally been able to watch it without crying…but it took years! 🤷♀️ Great reaction, though! And yes…this is ONE of the reasons to love country music! But there’s A LOT of uplifting and fun! Garth Brooks is awesome if you haven’t checked him out! New subscriber! 👍🏻
Try some of his funny ones…”Ticks” “Celebrity” and “Online”… His duet with Carrie Underwood “Remind Me”… And the favorites “He Didn’t Have to Be” and “When We Get Where We’re Going”…. So many!
Alison Krauss has won so many awards to date. She was considered Blue Grass. She has a song called, A Ghost in this House. The last few years she has been recording with Robert Plant's of Led Zepplin.
Sometimes there's a pain so deep inside, that the only way to get it out is to let a song like this hurt you again ... that's why Country is so great. It can uplift you when that's what you need ... or it can tear your heart out a step on it, and sometimes _that's_ what you need.
I knee what was coming, and I usually never make it thru the song without crying. Guilt can kill.. If you are a Veteran, please know that there are people fighting for you, so please don't give up! We are going to need you!
As soon as I saw this reaction pop up, I already knew it was going to hit you hard. It's a very sad and emotional story. But the voice combination of Brad and Allison mixed with the melody is so hauntingly beautiful and it tends to stick with you. That's what I love about this song.
Bill Anderson has been as big as both artist and songwriter in Country Music go for the better part of the last 8 decades . They don’t come much better!
Alan Jackson "Where Were you When the World Stopped Turning" - at the CMA awards 2001. A beautiful song about a tragic day in America - but oh so hopeful.
All music is meant to reach down deep into your soul. If you don’t have a reaction, you were cheated. Life has ups and downs. This one is a cautionary tale, worthy of remembering. Thanks for playing and reacting.
When you see people saying they miss "real country", this is what they mean. No matter what your background, race, whatever, there's always something you can relate to, that hits you on a personal level.
Brad Paisley is a super talented country star. He’s got so many great songs, and he wrote a lot them. Some of them are funny (I’m Gonna Miss Her, Online, Celebrity, Ticks, I’m Still A Guy, Alcohol, Anything Like Me) some are sad or reflective (Whiskey Lullaby, Letter To Me, He Didn’t Have To Be, When I Get Where I’m Going, The Medicine Will), some are romantic (Waiting On A Woman, We Danced, She’s Everything, The World, Then, Remind Me), and some make you want to have fun (Mud On The Tires, American Saturday Night, Water, Old Alabama, Start A Band).
I think this song is so popular because alcoholism and sometimes infidelity affects everyone. Whether it's your own story or a sibling or a cousin or friends, you know somebody that's been through it.
I love your description of country music as "effective and efficient". They do summarize a situation very skillfully if they are good writers, and whoever wrote this (whether it was Paisley or not) was awesome. That first line alone gives me chills. Rick Schroder (the actor) was awesome--he was a rare case of child actor transitioning to adult actor and both kids in the video are his, just FYI. The lady has also been in a lot of stuff, too, and is so good in this. Just subscribed:)
Great reaction. Brad Paisley is a great singer songwriter. A duet with Dolly Parton is When I get where I Going. He has love songs such as She's Everything and Little Moments. He has silly fun songs such as I'm Gonna Miss her and Celebrity.
Alison Krauss looking very lovely in this video - when you see her in live concerts, well, to me she comes across as an introverted person that kind of struggles to be comfortable in front of adoring fans - which makes us love her all the more. When the music and the singing begins, then she slips comfortably into her element.
Unfortunately this is a story that happens... The distance and time is tough on a marriage. That and alcoholism are tough hurdles that our troops have to deal with. A true country song telling a story of real life.
Thank you for picking my song!!! I love it because eventually, they were finally together. Yeah, they had to die to get there, but they made it back to each other. Musically, I really love the harmonic layers and clean voices. Zero autotune there, my friends. Pure talent!
Hello Sebs! I am new to your channel, and I think you are one of the best "reactors" on RUclips! I'm a proud veteran and lover of all music. This is an excellent example of the strength of country music storytelling. Country is simply about life's ups and downs. Here is proof that tragedy is horrific and sometimes beautiful all at once. Shake it off and be thankful you can relate, but you have not had to experience this cautionary lesson. Beauty can be brutally honest.
Since your a happily married man I think you will appreciate my favorite song of all time. Please listen to Kathy Mattea’s “Where Have You Been”! I promise it’s worth listening too!!
Amen to this suggestion. Fantastic song . . . and Dolly's performance is a huge bonus. FYI, I interviewed Brad when "When I Get Where I'm Going" came out and he told me Dolly ad-libbed her "Hallelujah!" lines in the song . . . and he cried in the studio as he listened to it. VERY powerful . . . and inspiring.
As a woman who’s ex husband of 30 years walked out for another woman. This gets to me, we just laid him to rest last week and I don’t know how I am supposed to feel. I am not only mourning the loss of the man I had been with since we were dating in school when I was 13. I am mourning the later life we were supposed to have together and I was treated as nothing at his funeral. At his funeral the woman he left me for received his flag from his military service, they were not married. My sons should have gotten it in the very least. But I am the one that was dragged from one duty station to another and raised our sons when he went to DS/DS and I supported him when he wept over his fallen comrades and through the years of PTSD after he got home. She cheated with him and got the flag. But I have my our grown sons and grandkids. It just hurt that I was not included in his survivors she was.
Hey Sebs. Love your takes on the country music. I recently caught JameyJohnson You Should Have Seen It In Color. I perceive you would really appreciate his Lead Me Home.
I come from.a long line of military and was married to a 30 yr veteran. There is NEVER an excuse for that level of betrayal. Heartless and shameless! My hubby's friend received a VCR recording of his wife having sex with his best friend in their bed at home. He went totally mental and they had wiped him out by the time he got home. House sold, furniture gone, bank account closed. There is a special place in hell for people of that caliber who would do that to someone who is facing death every day to secure your freedoms. At least have enough respect to support them until they come home you freaking cowards! Sorry, this always gets me. If you want a great USA supported vid that is AMAZING, watch Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red White and Blue!
Now listen to something funny and fun by Brad Paisley. Try the official video for the songs Alcohol or I'm Gonna Miss Her or I'm Still A Guy or Celebrity, All songs that will make you smile.
hey bro, I think you are wrong about "not being a good soldier", you are a protective father/husband, and I believe that your sense of right and wrong would make you a great soldier, and I believe you would stand up for your brothers in arms....welcome to country music...the emotions overflow...peace
This! This song!! My dad battled alcoholism my entire life, and wasn’t a nice guy when he was drunk if ya know what I mean. In 1991 he took his life, after drinking all night. This song hits SO hard 😢
The movie Armageddon wasn't based on this song or video. The movie came out in 1998 and the song 2003. The Aerosmith song I Don't Want To Miss A Thing is on the soundtrack of Armageddon.
I'm Gonna Miss Her,the video is a funny make you laugh song. Love Brad Paisley. When my son was 2 years old Brad came out with "Little Moments like These, my sons favorite song but he couldn't say the words right so he would go around singing at the top of his lungs Little No Nuts Like This. Thought I'd give you all a laugh.😁
Your reactions were similar to mine when I started listening to country years ago. The story telling would constantly blow my mind. Now it's pretty much all i'll listen to. You should do Billy Currington - People are crazy
Try "The dad he didn't have to be" by Brad, it is the uplifting song to counteract the sadness in this one
Great song!! My wife and I have adopted 7 kids. I was listening to that song one day and my oldest boy was in the truck with me. He told me that song was about me.
I just came to recommend this song. I love it
Nobody does tragedy quite like country music. This really is a beautiful song.
@Serena Eiler the song is actually he didn't have to be but it's a great song none the less.
Was gonna suggest this too!!! The ultimate fatherhood song!!!
Allison Krauss is an angel on this Earth. Her voice is so pure.
Allison makes every guy she collaborates with sound even better than without her.
She is my Dream Woman. I want to marry her and hear her sing throughout the house every day until we’re too old to hear 😂
“She put him out like the burnin’ end of a midnight cigarette.”
Songwriting doesn’t get much better than that.
Exactly! I think most reactors miss that powerful verse.
I say the same thing every time I hear this line. So poignant!
I love that line. It gives me chills every time I hear it. This is a brilliantly written song.
You gotta check out Jason Isbell, nobody in country can turn a phrase like him
Keith Whitley was one of the song writers and he was amazing
Allison Krauss has such an amazing voice
A good country song can make you sad, a GREAT country song can tear your heart out and leave you in tears. This one is GREAT. Glad you're starting to like some country
I LOL'd when you said "don't break my heart" right as you were about to hear the most heartbreaking country song ever written. OF COUSE your heart will shatter!
Same!
Alison Krauss is someone that deserves a deep dive.
Until she was recently passed by Beyoncé, she held the record for the most Grammy wins of any singer in history. 27 Grammys
And Beyoncé has had the advantage of there now being more categories than when Alison was most active.
And Beyoncé has auto tune

The ancient Greeks considered tragedy the highest art form - it's songs like this that bring that home

Some of us never get over it and learn to cope with it
“I guess that’s why Country is dope. The story telling is so effective and efficient”
This ☝🏼
As a veteran, I think you're wrong with respect. You would be trained and you would not let your brothers down. You're a good man.
As a fellow veteran I completely agree with your statement.
Thank you gentleman for your service

I cannot believe that you didn't comment on the beauty of Allison Krause's voice. The two together make the song amazing.
I love this song because of the harmonies of Brad & Allison. The song itself simple, but the video brings it home. Good choice 😊

Yes! I heard that song before without a woman's voice and it makes a big difference.
I can’t hear this song without crying.
Yep. Just happened to me again.
That’s why I don’t listen to these kinds of country songs. I can appreciate they may be masterpieces of emotional storytelling, and full of skillful singing and playing, but they are simply too depressing for me. I can get stuck if I don’t mind my mood.
Brad Paisley is one of the best. He does heartbreaking beauty like this song and laugh out loud fun ones like "Online"
Online is in my top 10. Brad does clever the best. Just love his lyrics.
Check out Allison Krause she is amazing beautiful voice. Her genre is bluegrass and country
When you say nothing at all
Down to the river to pray are 2 of my favorites you will not be disappointed by her angelic voice
Brad has a fun song called I’m Gonna Miss Her. Check that one out!!
Love this song! Not just for the story telling aspect but the way Brad and Alison harmonize so beautifully! Alison is a big deal in blue grass music genre! She looks and sounds like an angel without any effort!!! Thanks for sharing! Love from Texas!!!
It’s a story of redemption. Regardless whether it happened here or on the other side of eternity. The story is: love redeems all. Forgiveness redeems all. That’s my take on it anyway. Hope it’s yours as well.
Love this song and I cry every time. For a lighter side of Brad try " I'm Gonna Miss Her". Enjoy
Rick (ricky) Schroeder (child actor grew up well) makes the video special. Note that some of the extras were also in the Brooks and Dunn "Believe" clip. Chris Stapletons clip "Fire Away" about depression also is beautiful and tragic.
The little girl at the end is actually Rick Schroeder's daughter.
You wouldn't be a coward, your brothers would need you and you would step up.
Brad has so many iconic hits.
“Waiting on a Woman”
“When I get Where I’m going”
How about He Didn't Have to Be?
Alcohol is one of my very favorites.
Oh this song will get to you! Alison's voice is heavenly. The video is emotional.
Incredibly sad story , so beautifully sung.
I feel like most reactors overlook Alison’s voice that’s like an angel.
Some other very emotional country songs. A wide range of emotions here!
Love,Me (Colin raye)
Don't tale the Girl ĺtim Mcgraw)
There goes My Life ĺKenny Chesney)

One of those songs that just gets you, makes you cry. All country music tells a story of life. Sometimes uplifting, sometimes not but always relatable

27 Grammys!
I got to see them months ago, if you get the chance it's worth every penny. His age is beginning to show, but she's as incredible as ever
That gun salute gives me chills every time, in person or otherwise. It's so powerful.
Welcome to Country music. It can touch you in emotions you didn’t realize you had, from laughter to tears.
This happens more than we think it's hard being a Wife or Husband to a Military Soldier 🪖
Sometimes there's a pain so deep inside, that the only way to get it out is to let a song like this hurt you again ... that's why Country is so great. It can uplift you when that's what you need ... or it can tear your heart out a step on it, and sometimes _that's_ what you need.
Check out is song, "Did't have to be." Great uplifting son for Step dads.
brad paisley is a really good country singer like he is WELL KNOWN I listened to him and so many others growing up with a country loving grandfather.
America has treated you and your family well, because you have treated America well. That's the way it works.
I knee what was coming, and I usually never make it thru the song without crying. Guilt can kill..
If you are a Veteran, please know that there are people fighting for you, so please don't give up! We are going to need you!

Greatest opening line ever written and recorded.
Country is an emotional roller coaster, huh?
Bill Anderson has been as big as both artist and songwriter in Country Music go for the better part of the last 8 decades .
They don’t come much better!
Omg spellcheck pisses me off!
Brad Paisley’s “He didn’t have to be” is very real and means a lot to many folks.
Brad does alot of fun ones too, like "Alcohol", "I'm gonna miss her", "Crushin it", and "Online", to name a few.
Brad Paisley “Waiting on a Woman”. Has the awesome Andy Griffith in it. Great story telling.
One of the greatest songs of all time. In defeat, pain, poverty, and heartache is where we can our greatest humanity. Peace and love!!!
Alan Jackson "Where Were you When the World Stopped Turning" - at the CMA awards 2001. A beautiful song about a tragic day in America - but oh so hopeful.
Another fantastic song and video by Brad is Waitin On A Woman. Also Ticks, Ticks shows his humorous, naughty side.
Definitely a rollercoaster ride.
All music is meant to reach down deep into your soul. If you don’t have a reaction, you were cheated. Life has ups and downs. This one is a cautionary tale, worthy of remembering. Thanks for playing and reacting.
Some songs touch you and you'll never forget them. This will always be one of those song's.
When you see people saying they miss "real country", this is what they mean. No matter what your background, race, whatever, there's always something you can relate to, that hits you on a personal level.
Brad Paisley is a super talented country star. He’s got so many great songs, and he wrote a lot them. Some of them are funny (I’m Gonna Miss Her, Online, Celebrity, Ticks, I’m Still A Guy, Alcohol, Anything Like Me) some are sad or reflective (Whiskey Lullaby, Letter To Me, He Didn’t Have To Be, When I Get Where I’m Going, The Medicine Will), some are romantic (Waiting On A Woman, We Danced, She’s Everything, The World, Then, Remind Me), and some make you want to have fun (Mud On The Tires, American Saturday Night, Water, Old Alabama, Start A Band).
I think this song is so popular because alcoholism and sometimes infidelity affects everyone. Whether it's your own story or a sibling or a cousin or friends, you know somebody that's been through it.
"Oh dont break my heart". Too late, you clicked on the video.
Probably one of the saddest songs ever written.
They sound great together, but Alison is an "A1" artist on her own. Try "A Ghost In This House" by her, she is always an angel on your ears!
If you want a funny one by Brad Paisley… listen to “I’m gonna miss her” and “celebrity”
I love your description of country music as "effective and efficient". They do summarize a situation very skillfully if they are good writers, and whoever wrote this (whether it was Paisley or not) was awesome. That first line alone gives me chills. Rick Schroder (the actor) was awesome--he was a rare case of child actor transitioning to adult actor and both kids in the video are his, just FYI. The lady has also been in a lot of stuff, too, and is so good in this. Just subscribed:)
If you haven’t heard it yet, one of the saddest songs ever is George Jones “He stopped loving her today”
This is one of my absolute fav songs. Alison doesnt get enough recognition, her voice is MINDBLOWING. ❤
That is why we love you, you show your heart! It is sincere and touching DON'T ever change.
Great reaction. Brad Paisley is a great singer songwriter. A duet with Dolly Parton is When I get where I Going.
He has love songs such as She's Everything and Little Moments.
He has silly fun songs such as I'm Gonna Miss her and Celebrity.
Alison Krauss looking very lovely in this video - when you see her in live concerts, well, to me she comes across as an introverted person that kind of struggles to be comfortable in front of adoring fans - which makes us love her all the more. When the music and the singing begins, then she slips comfortably into her element.
Let's give you another tear jerker. Brooks and Dunn, Believe.
He already did it. ruclips.net/video/jOhiXOb9ddo/видео.html
@@lukewilsonhere oh
Listen to Brad Paisley sing "I'm Gonna Miss Her" and let him redeems himself!! You'll love it!
Best opening line of any song ever. I cannot watch this without crying.
Unfortunately this is a story that happens... The distance and time is tough on a marriage. That and alcoholism are tough hurdles that our troops have to deal with. A true country song telling a story of real life.
Thank you for picking my song!!! I love it because eventually, they were finally together. Yeah, they had to die to get there, but they made it back to each other. Musically, I really love the harmonic layers and clean voices. Zero autotune there, my friends. Pure talent!
Country music is the comedy and tragedy that is life, enjoy all of it. It's better if you drink.
Hello Sebs! I am new to your channel, and I think you are one of the best "reactors" on RUclips! I'm a proud veteran and lover of all music. This is an excellent example of the strength of country music storytelling. Country is simply about life's ups and downs. Here is proof that tragedy is horrific and sometimes beautiful all at once. Shake it off and be thankful you can relate, but you have not had to experience this cautionary lesson. Beauty can be brutally honest.
Since your a happily married man I think you will appreciate my favorite song of all time. Please listen to Kathy Mattea’s “Where Have You Been”! I promise it’s worth listening too!!
I love that song! And also 18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses!
Alison Krauss. A voice of an angel.
Hi, please react to Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton - When I get to where I'm going. It's such an uplifting song, thank you
Amen to this suggestion. Fantastic song . . . and Dolly's performance is a huge bonus. FYI, I interviewed Brad when "When I Get Where I'm Going" came out and he told me Dolly ad-libbed her "Hallelujah!" lines in the song . . . and he cried in the studio as he listened to it. VERY powerful . . . and inspiring.
Brad has a wide range of songs, both haunting and funny. You want a lift after that one try ‘I’m gonna miss her’
Never be ashamed of yourself you don’t honestly know what you would do in time of war especially with a family!
What a friggin' great reaction to a powerful song ........you lived it and you felt it ....the way it was meant to be. Peace and Love
oh and by the way.I hope you are on tread mill ? :)
As a woman who’s ex husband of 30 years walked out for another woman. This gets to me, we just laid him to rest last week and I don’t know how I am supposed to feel. I am not only mourning the loss of the man I had been with since we were dating in school when I was 13. I am mourning the later life we were supposed to have together and I was treated as nothing at his funeral. At his funeral the woman he left me for received his flag from his military service, they were not married. My sons should have gotten it in the very least. But I am the one that was dragged from one duty station to another and raised our sons when he went to DS/DS and I supported him when he wept over his fallen comrades and through the years of PTSD after he got home. She cheated with him and got the flag. But I have my our grown sons and grandkids. It just hurt that I was not included in his survivors she was.
Brad paisley is a genius song writer.he can be very deep one minute and very funny the next.
Wow, never knew Bill Anderson wrote this. He has done SO much.....
Hey Sebs. Love your takes on the country music. I recently caught JameyJohnson You Should Have Seen It In Color. I perceive you would really appreciate his Lead Me Home.
I come from.a long line of military and was married to a 30 yr veteran. There is NEVER an excuse for that level of betrayal. Heartless and shameless!
My hubby's friend received a VCR recording of his wife having sex with his best friend in their bed at home. He went totally mental and they had wiped him out by the time he got home. House sold, furniture gone, bank account closed.
There is a special place in hell for people of that caliber who would do that to someone who is facing death every day to secure your freedoms. At least have enough respect to support them until they come home you freaking cowards!
Sorry, this always gets me.
If you want a great USA supported vid that is AMAZING, watch Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red White and Blue!
Many of us that served faced this coming home. I took it as a blessing
Now listen to something funny and fun by Brad Paisley. Try the official video for the songs Alcohol or I'm Gonna Miss Her or I'm Still A Guy or Celebrity, All songs that will make you smile.
If you haven’t heard it, another good story telling country/bluegrass song is “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” by Patty Loveless. Check it out!!
hey bro, I think you are wrong about "not being a good soldier", you are a protective father/husband, and I believe that your sense of right and wrong would make you a great soldier, and I believe you would stand up for your brothers in arms....welcome to country music...the emotions overflow...peace
This! This song!! My dad battled alcoholism my entire life, and wasn’t a nice guy when he was drunk if ya know what I mean. In 1991 he took his life, after drinking all night. This song hits SO hard 😢
The movie Armageddon wasn't based on this song or video.
The movie came out in 1998 and the song 2003.
The Aerosmith song I Don't Want To Miss A Thing is on the soundtrack of Armageddon.
I'm Gonna Miss Her,the video is a funny make you laugh song. Love Brad Paisley. When my son was 2 years old Brad came out with "Little Moments like These, my sons favorite song but he couldn't say the words right so he would go around singing at the top of his lungs Little No Nuts Like This. Thought I'd give you all a laugh.😁
Do Almost Home by Craig Morgan
You'd LOVE his song Waiting on a Woman! React to official video with Andy Griffith.. you will not regret it!!!❤❤
Please, please, please check out more Brad Paisley. He has some really funny songs also. Try his song I'm Still A Guy. Great reaction!! 🙂
Alison Krauss, what a voice... Have you herd her with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin?
Your reactions were similar to mine when I started listening to country years ago. The story telling would constantly blow my mind. Now it's pretty much all i'll listen to. You should do Billy Currington - People are crazy
