This song means SO much to Americans. And yes, our Judeo Christianity is an important part of most country music. It still makes me cry and remember exactly where I was!
Well, that’s a bit limiting, considering you’re talking about to most diverse country in the history of humanity. But, ok, I guess.
@@ccormx, ???
It’s been 21 years and I still tear up and get goosebumps.
We had arrived in the US in August. My job was to teach foreign kids to speak English. My students arrived and very urgently mimed - I figured out the Twin Towers and drew them on the board. They mimed planes and added explosion sounds, for both buildings. Then motioned the building falling - I erased from the top and had to go lower until it was gone, and then the second one… chilling. We went to another classroom where there was a tv and confirmed the facts visually, just as the Pentagon got hit! We had students from that area in our boarding school… very difficult for them as the phones were overloaded. My first thought was there are PEOPLE in there…😢
I still get teary, and angry.
Same here and I'm sure alot of others, wonderful comment.
I do as well. That day has affected me like no other one has.
These 9-11 related songs all give me full body chills all these years later!
Country Music and religion go hand in hand here in 🇺🇸 It goes GOD, FAMILY & COUNTRY . After 9/12 When I saw on the news here that our National Anthem was played there in the UK and all those there waving the little American Flags along with all the outpouring of sadness & support it made me just sit there and cry. It was very touching and Much Appreciated here ❤
Yeah, me too.
Even peter Jennings was moved.queen Elizabeth ordered that.think of the irony.that song was written during the war of 1812-against the British! Now they are our kindred spirits.god bless the free people of England!
I watched the towers fall from my delivery truck, across the Hudson River, in Moonachie New Jersey. That day, and the weeks following, were full of many emotions. Shock, fear, sadness, anger, etc. I have a hard time talking about it, and this song makes me cry every time I hear it.
I try to brush the sadness aside by remembering the love, compassion and unity we felt as everyone came together to save those that could be saved and mourn those whom we lost. I remember the bravery of the heroes of the NYPD and FDNY on that day. I try to brush away the trauma of that day with all of the good that I saw in people. It was a horrible day that gave birth to all of the best in us. God bless all of those lost. God bless those they left behind. God bless the heroic first responders. God bless the people of New York, the USA, and the world who grieved with us. Let us remember the best that we can be and the love we can have for each other, and let us bring that forth every day.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this song.
Alan truly is a humble family man, a Christian and a proud American. All these years later, I still can’t listen to this song without crying.
Same here!
I watched him perform this on the country music awards and just thought it was perfect. Very sad news to hear about Queen Elizabeth passing. I know we in America were sad to hear the news . Condolences to you both and all affected by such a great loss.
@Kim Zwolinski
Thank you for the very nice comment
Yes ... We were saddened by news of The Queen passing 🥰 . We feel a strange "connection with the British" even though ... but yes HEARTFELT SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO YOU ALL. 😔 🇬🇧
I hope you check out the CMA awards performance of this song. To me that is more powerful than this video. Granted, this video is good.
Thanks for the reaction to the song .
Unlike many Americans who poked fun and made jokes about the death of Queen Elizabeth II; I was rather saddened by her passing. I was at work when the news broke here in the United States; and when I got home from work I just showered, put on my pajamas, climbed into bed and silently wept until I fell asleep. The following morning I said a brief prayer for the royals as I knew that they were hurting. Of course my heart shattered into a thousand pieces when I saw a picture of Prince William's daughter Princess Charlotte practically crying her eyes out on her way into Westminster Abbey for the funeral.
In 2001 I was working in broadcasting. The first plane hit the tower on my way into work. I got to the station and everyone was glued to the tv. I witnessed the second plane hit, as well as both towers collapsing. My station Manager told us to go home and hug our kids. I will never forget this. For a month the television covered nothing but the recovery and rescues, and survivor stories and tragic stories of the heroes and awful innocent deaths.
All these years later, this still brings tears to my eyes. I dont think any of us will ever forget those moments, where we were, and what we were doing.
One of the greatest things about America, we may squabble like kids with each other , but when people mess with us , we stand together quick.
America is a patriotic country, but honestly who wouldn't be proud of where they come from. Many of us have military background, come from military families or have friends who serve.
This is an amazing song full of reflection .
The world came together at that time! But here we are 21 years later, and so many things are working to tear us apart!!
That is so truemi remember all the flags,all the unity.we have lost our way.
He sang this at the cma's after. The audience was in tears.
I have a friend who was a middle school teacher in New Jersey when the attacks occurred. She has told me that, knowing that many of the children's parents worked in the twin towers, the children were not released early or even in the regular manner, as they did not want any kids riding the buses home, only to find an empty house. Some relative had to go to the schools in person to check out the children. She said she had children in her classes who lost parents and, of course, with their proximity to NYC they did not know if they might get hit as well. It must have been much more frightening for those in that part of the nation than to us, way down in Texas. We were, of course, devastated at the attacks and loss of life, but so ,much far removed from the events than those in that part of the nation.
A similarly simple personal song is his song, "Remember when". Worth a listen. He's a thoughtful, kind and romantic husband/father.
I cannot hear this song without crying. Over 20 years later and it still feels like yesterday. I find it hard to see images or watch video from that day. Like many - I know exactly what I was doing at every horrific moment. There are a few amazing and patriotic songs that came out. They all hit home.
Same here!
i was born after 9/11, and this song makes me tear up too, I can’t imagine what everyone went through that day, i love America

I love Alan Jackson. You need to react to "Remember When", he has so many wonderful songs. Truly country, NOT pop.
Sending heartfelt condolences to everyone in the U.K. One of the most beautiful & honest songs of all time is Remember When by Alan Jackson, I highly recommend it - even to non-country fans.
Absolutely!
I love that song, too!
Drive also is a great song
My son introduced me to Alan Jackson and I really enjoy his storytelling. I'm more of a metalhead but have to say that Alan's songs really touch the soul many times. Great reaction Guys
@jenell56
Alan Jackson doe shave a great way of telling the story.
Me too, try this guy (Bobby Pinson) for country/blues awesome storytelling, " Don't ask me how I know" ruclips.net/video/CtDdke57Nes/видео.html
Have you checked out the live version of Alan performing "I want to stroll.over heaven with you" which he performed in church for his mother? If not....check it out sometime. I love it!
I think this song perfectly encapsulates the horror and helplessness we felt that day.
I went to the funeral of a young man who died in his office in the first tower. He had three very young children, the youngest a new born, maybe 2 months old. I remember the young wife holding that baby and me thinking he will never know his father.
I will never forget. I lost two great friends that day. I was less then a block away when I watched both plans hit.
I was getting prepped to teach my 7th grade class when another teacher ran in my classroom and turned on the tv. I was speechless when the broadcast replayed a video of a plane flying into the tower. When I saw the second plane hit in real time, I threw up in the sink. That was the moment I realized it was not just a horrendous accident. Later that night I drove to a random church and held hands with a large group of complete stranger as we prayed silently for hours. It was a feeling of complete shock and helplessness.
I remember the 1st time I heard Alan do this song. I didn't weep, I didn't cry, I full out sobbed! Even tonight hearing it, I've got chills and tears flowing. I think Alan did justice to what people were thinking and the questions that were in the minds of people all over the world. It's still a heartwrenching song when you consider how very raw the emotions were when this 1st came out and how, even now, it's like poking at a wound that never quite heals. Great reaction guys! ❤
In Alan Jackson's country songs, he accurately captures and expresses the true intentions in every song, so it's really persuasive and it's so wonderful that you can cry every time you look at the lyrics! 🎼🎤👍👍
Alan Jackson is a great American singer & songwriter who blended traditional honky-tonk & mainstream country pop sounds. He has so many hits such as "Here In The Real World", "Wanted", "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow", "I'd Love You All Over Again", "Someday", "Dallas", "Love's Got A Hold on You", "Midnight in Montgomery", "She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)", "Tonight I Climbed The Wall", "Mercury Blues", "(Who Says) You Can't Have It All", "Little Bitty", "There Goes", "Who's Cheatin' Who", "I'll Go On Loving You", "Chattahoochee", "Don't Rock The Jukebox" etc
I'll add "remember when" & a duet with Jimmy Buffett "it's 5 o'clock somewhere". 😉🥰🥰
@@momD612 Love that one with Jimmy Buffett. I just heard it again yesterday.
@@dagmar.6954 definitely a family favorite here. My years in FL were spent boating in the gulf with my father on his boat & that song (along with all of Jimmy Buffets) were mandatory! 😉🍻🍻🥰
This song always brings me to tears.I watched him perform on TV with the original performance with tears streaming down my face.
Hi both, I always find it heart warming how country singers can tell a story through song, unlike any other genre of music. This was hard to listen to, and such a sad song because of the truth of the story. A sad but relevant upload. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rap: Am i a joke to you?
Eminem and juice wrld: Am i a joke to you?
When he sings, "I'm just a singer of simple songs", is spot on! He wrote almost all of his songs and they're just simple songs about his life! I love him!
I was in high school. We live within 1 hour of The Pentagon. I remember being in the office seeing it over TV when the second plane hit the towers. I ran back to class screaming to turn the TV on
In Oct after 9/11 happened, so a month later, Alan couldn’t sleep. He got up and wrote this beautiful, heartbreaking song. A week later he performed it for the first time at the CMAs. He hadn’t even recorded it yet. When he did record it, the song shot to #1. The proceeds continue to go to charities. Alan said he thought after a couple years the song would just drop away. But 21 years later it remains the song everyone wants to hear. He feels he’s singing about the importance of love. I cry every time I hear it. I wrote this before watching your video because I probably could not have written it after seeing the video and listening to Alan’s amazing voice singing this bittersweet poetry he wrote and put to music.
Also as a huge fan of AJ, he has had 35 #1 hits, 26 of which he wrote…like 60-70 million dollars in record sales. He along with Randy Travis brought country back to country when we were all sick to death of what was coming out then…totally off course in the 80s with pop cross over mess.
I have loved alan jackson, even took my mom to his concerts.makes me cry everytime I hear it. We all felt that way that day.
Horrible day. I was living and working in Cambridge Mass. I was late, so I got a taxi to work. Taxi driver was listening to news radio, but I couldn't hear properly in the back. When I got to the office, it was quiet. There were people crammed in one office on my floor, watching a small portable TV. I went in, asked what was happening, someone explained, we watched. Then the second plane hit. I'll always remember tiny people jumping out of the buildings. Eventually someone told us to go home.
Best Wishes Everyone. ☮
Typo in the video title? Maybe should be _"Where _*_Were_*_ You When The World Stopped Turning?"_
I can remember this day, 9/11, minute by minute. It was so terrifying. This song brings back so many memories. It is something we should forget. I remember my boyfriend telling me not to leave the house, when he left for work. We lived in Dallas at the time and had no idea what was going on or if anything else was going to happen. Thank you for the reaction!
The music is secondary in this type of song as he tells his story, so I was more focused on what he was singing really. The old steel guitar was playing away in the background giving it the traditional country sound. I remember 9/11 vividly watching it all unfold on the tv, very sad day for the world.
Alan Jackson wrote this song in one night.. feeling what our country was feeling. I had 5 children at that point and time.. my baby boy was 16 months old... my older boys were 13 amd 12...I was so scared my boys would be drafted... But I would have supported all the way. Just blessed my 3 boys and 2 girls r ok
Today is Veterans Day here in the US… this song was exactly what happened.
Love Alan Jackson. This song really captures the many emotions of that time. Please react to Alan Jackson’s Remember When official video. A beautiful tribute to his wife, but we can all relate. You won’t regret it❤️❤️❤️
He wrote this immediately after the attack. Alan has some amazing music. Beautiful songs like 'Remember when' which is about his wife & marriage & fun songs like 'It's 5 o'clock somewhere' or 'Chattahoochee'. Talented writer & singer.
Country music tends to have religious tones, but this specific event had a lot of people turning to God even if they weren't traditional Christians. A lot of people were praying and going to churches to meet up to pray with others, even if they weren't typical Christians. And in the days following, the US was the most Christian we've ever been. It was all about love, kindness, and protecting our families.
Almost 23 years later this song brings a lot of us to tears because we all have a "where were you" memory.
My father was in the air that day, flying between Connecticut and Texas for work. We spent HOURS terrified that his plane was involved until his plane got grounded and he was able to call. My uncle was down in NYC that morning, in Manhattan dropping a tractor trailer to a customer and saw the first building get hit in his rear view mirror and then the first one to fall as he was trying to get out of the city. My brother in law is a volunteer fire fighter in Connecticut and their group was called in to help. I was in a kindergarten room working that early morning and we watched it all unfold on TV. We have a military base here and they locked down the city and base and went into a 2 up 2 down flight schedule than ran for weeks. So many people affected.
I highly recommend Darryl Worley's Have Your Forgotten which he released in 2003 as a kind of rallying cry in the early days of the war on terror.
This was an awesome song at a time when America needed it. He played that publicly for the first time, at the CMA Awards a week after he wrote it. The week after that, it was the number one song in the country, and he hadn't yet cut an album. Radio stations were playing his performance at the CMA.
I still cry every time I hear this song and think of that morning. I was driving to work and thought the radio guys were doing one of their infamous pranks, especially as the other stations hadn't. picked up on it yet. Then they switched it to audio of Katie Couric and it hit home. Got to work just before the second plane hit. We just stood there in shock as we saw it on the tv. Thank you for reacting to this. He has some other great songs you should check out. Living on Love is one of my favs, by him. Don't rock the jukebox is another good one.
This song will never fail to hit me incredibly hard. My god, where is the love nowdays. People dont talk like this anymore.
I was in 7th grade, history class just started when the news broke out. I was quiet all day, played with friends then that night I cried, because of what happened, and I knew my uncle, and 2 cousins were about to leave for war. I couldn't watch violent tv, or any for that matter. I was feeling every emotion at one time.
I’ve been to his live concerts at least five times. He’s very good.
Personally I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to country music. Around the end of the 90's actual country music died and something closer to pop took it's place. The song "Murder on Music row" by George Strait and Alan Jackson explains it best.
@Jason Overman
Hi Jason, thanks for the comment.
We will try and check out.
Cheers
Have you heard his latest album? Possibly his best 🤠
This song make me cry every time I hear it. He is a wonderful father and an amazing singer and songwriter
I am born and bred in Brooklyn, one of the 5 boros of NYC. I worked a few streets away from the Twin Towers, but just the day before I went on a leave of absence from work, so missed being there during this outrage. I was extremely fortunate as I was told upon my return to the office that the ceiling above my desk totally collapsed, and had I been sitting there - who knows how badly I would have been injured. I took a sedative the evening of the 10th and when I woke up on the 11th at 1 pm, it was all over and I saw the horror show on tv in disbelief.
You can find the CMA performance about a week after he wrote this song.
This song always hits me in the feels super hard!
I was teaching first grade. The students whose parents were military had to go home before the base closed roads. Later. we went to church and prayed.
Alan wrote the song. He is a fabulous songwriter. You need to listen to MIDNIGHT IN MONTGOMERY, which is a tribute to the late Hank Williams, Sr. one of the first great country superstar.
The first song of this type I remember hearing was "They Were Flying For Me" by John Denver. That song was about the Challenger disaster. If you've never heard it, give it a listen. That song and this one always make me cry.
Thank you Gentlemen. This is such a good song, you know me and Hank were at full attention. Even Chuey had 4 paws up out of respect. Thank God, "Real Country Music".
@Chuey's Mama
There you go, every now and then we manage to get it right.
This was a tough one and we both enjoyed "Real Country" too
Lovely reaction, enjoyed hearing yall's thoughts about it. 9/11 really was a world wide event, the World Trace Center towers had people from around the world in them and represented countries working together, so symbolic. I hope yall will watch the live version, in my opinion it was better live and without the visuals.
I will never forget where I was & what I doing...I remember stopping and just Praying to God for everyone to find strength to carry on...I have never cried so hard in all my life as I did on 9/11. It felt like someone ripped my heart out and attacked someone in my family.
This son along with a few others mean alot to us Americans.
Hearing this song after more than 20 yrs. still rips my heart out.
And yes Country, family & God go hand in hand in the USA
I still remember exactly where I was...I stillcry.
I was a teacher with a room full of innocent children..one was my son. I was told to act normal until it was time for dismissal. Really hard to do. And, yes, our Christian culture is part of country music which is songs about what we cherish in life along with the carefree.
Thank you guys! Take care.
This day seems like just yesterday. I was teaching a class full of innocent children that day. I couldn’t wait for that school day to end to get home to watch the tv. It was my last day
Of work, I was flying to Switzerland on Sept 12th to celebrate my birthday, obviously that didn’t happen since airspace was closed. Instead I sat at home watching the news, thanking God me and my family was safe. Especially since I was flying out of New York.
It's been 21 years missing video or anything dealing with that day still fills me with tears and anger. Most songs I can tell you how I feel about it this is among the probably 5% where I just I'm going to lost some words thank you for watching
Recognition before death. He's still gonna be recognized when he's gone 😢 I want to see him in concert before he goes ❤
Thank you for your thoughtful reaction.. I enjoyed it.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Remembering that awful day. It will always be with us.b I had two nephews who were in the military and had to go to Iraq. I thank God they came home. Some of their friends didn't.
just wanna say your attention to research is really awesome! thank you for looking him up for reference as you listened
I started tearing up before you started the song because I know this song so well
You need to listen to more Alan Jackson. "Remember When" is really good. Also "Drive" and "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere"
I had just gotten my last resident into the dining room for breakfast at the nursing home I was working in. We had this GIANT screen TV in there and it wasn't on yet so I walked up to it, turned it on and at that very moment right in front of my face on that huge TV...the second plane flew into the 2nd tower. That is how we learned what was going on. It was such a surreal absolutely devastating day. The neighborhood I spent the last several years of my childhood in and that I currently live in after my husband & I moved back to my hometown 5 years after 9/11, had snipers crawling all over it for weeks afterwards because the "Blind Sheikh", who was one of the masterminds of the first Trade Center bombing, was housed at the Federal Medical Prison just blocks away. It's actually a very nice safe neighborhood and only federal prisoners with serious medical issues are housed at that prison as they are treated by doctors from our Mayo Clinic. Anyway...he was transferred to a supermax prison in another state soon afterwards but the heightened security stayed around for months due to both him and the fact that Mayo Clinic was considered a possible target due to everyone that was & is treated there from the Middle East.
BTW...the late King Hussein of Jordan was here for years being treated for cancer. One of his favorite activities was to take his wife, Queen Noor, out for a drive in a new silver VW Beetle....his security obviously was in front of & in back of the Beetle. I had the unfortunate experience of merging onto the main highway between his Beetle and the security behind it...nearly shit my pants once I realized what was happening! 😂 King Hussein did technically die here but for politics sake they put him on life support, got him on his plane back to Jordan and let him go on Jordanian soil to avoid a possible international incident. He & his wife were so kind & generous to literally everyone from housekeeping to servers to nurses & doctors to just everyone they encountered in all the time they spent here. His biggest smiles though were when he was driving alone with his wife in that little silver Beetle. 😊
Loved the Queen
Alan is one of the best
I still remember that morning when I woke up and let the front room in my teenage son kept telling me we were under attack and that fear I pray to God we never feel that ever again
There are lots of songs of Alan Jackson's you could have also chosen. Because he does story telling music but he does stuff you can dance to as well as gospel music. He's very versatile.
I was 3 years old, I am now serving in the US military
@Bill Williamson
Hi Bill, thanks for checking out the channel and your service, you stay safe.
Happy Christmas & New Year
I know exactly where i was and i what i was doing. I gave blood as often as I could. God bless us all.
Another awesome singer this time country, My favourite of his is called Remember When but listen to a lot of his other songs just a great country singer.
Alan is one of the old greats. I have a whole album of Gospel music he does so well. Sadly, he is not well anymore, and says he has some "mobility issues". He explained because he said some thought he was drunk onstage. He said he will appear as long as it's possible.
I was a sophomore in Highschool on that September day! They turned on their TV just as the second plane hit! 🥺 Everyone was scared and just in shock! I live in PA so we were only about 8hrs away from NY! Such a sad scary day!
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song! 🥰
Alan performed this mere weeks after 9/11 at the ACM Awards show. He said that God wrote the song, he just held the pen. He recorded it for release RELUCTANTLY and has donated the profits to 9/11 survivors and families of first responders.
All these years later, I still cry. . .The horror of that day scarred so many in our country.
I watched a few Brits who showed what they had to go through too. They were saved from the mess but it wasn't easy.
I have always loved this song by him. It really a great reflective song that points out the most important in life. I hope King Charles is as successful and respected as Queen Elizabeth was. You gentlemen have a blessed day.
I was in highschool. I'll never forget.
Lovely song really.
You two have to be some of the most polite humans I've ever heard
@Robert Trout
We ll thank you, our Mum's will be very proud to hear that.
All the best to you
you guys need to check out the documentary on amazon video about Alan Jackson
I believe Jackson wrote this song very shortly after the atrocity of 9/11 and I don't think phones had recorders in 2001 so he pretty much had to use a standalone recorder. Technology has grown so rapidly that most young people today have no concept of the fact that we used to use actual road maps (the paper kind that folded) to help us figure out how to get somewhere, and if we wanted to look something up we went to an encyclopedia (that was an actual book) and if we wanted to see how to spell a word or to see what a word meant we used a dictionary (another actual book) and if we wanted to record something we used a tape recorder and if we wanted to hear a song we played a record or listened to it on the radio and if we wanted to see a TV show we watched it on an actual television set and if we wanted a recipe we looked in an actual cook book and if we wanted to take a picture we used a camera and ... if we wanted to make a telephone call we used an actual phone. BTW, if we called someone, we actually TALKED to them because texting had not yet been invented. Strange, isn't it?
How do you take this and turn it into a mini-rant about the newer generations? For the record, in 2001 there was fairly widespread adoption of commercial GPS devices, the internet (and by extension the ability to search for information) was available to most people, and CDs and handheld recorders were widespread. Just because you didn't have all this fancy technology growing up doesn't make you better.
Today when I hear this song I still cry and remember the horrible day 9/11. I love country music and so many other genres. Thank you for sharing 😢🤗
My husband was on duty at nas oceana on 9/11 I still tear up when I think about it.
i felt like a zombie just totally numb in complete shock needing a hug
Great reaction, thank you for the respect you have shown. New subscriber here.
One of his best songs is "Remember When"
I was six years old and I lived in the southwest corner in Michigan. I remember it was a very cold day for us and we were all getting ready for school. My mom was trying to get both my older sisters and my younger brother ready and we had the news on like normal to see the for the weather forecast when I remember seeing the first tower live after it had gotten hit. I thought it was a movie but was confused because tv broadcasters didn't play action movies in the mornings. At one point I felt something was off and ended up forgetting about it. I did notice that school for the next few days was just us sitting in class and our teachers weren't really doing anything and were pretty quiet until the days that followed us kids were slowly told about what happened.
I was in 4th grade in alabama. The alarms suddenly went off…the teacher got a phone call from the office phone, and immediately the whole school was locked down & we were told to get under our desks and hide.. we weren’t told what was happening until we got home after they ended school early as hell. I got home and my step-douchbage of a step father was an upset ex-army mess as we saw the towers falls on live tv. I laughed as he cried for our country since he could cause bruises on my ass when he was mad. The thing he said he was supposedly fighting for was now in flames. Lol
I think it's amazing that you guys like to listen to our way of music.
I was living in Germany. My husband was stationed with the Air Force there.
I had just come home from picking my son up from school and my neighbor asked if I had heard a plane crashed into the first tower.
I asked him if it was terrorists and he said he didn't know.
I went in the house and turned on the news and just watched in shock.
To really enjoy allan Jackson listen to remember when and it's 5 o'clock somewhere with Jimmy buffet this shows you his death great songwriter and voice and iam 69 years old and I enjoy all music no matter what style if it's done great then it's great . Thanks for your show good job all around.
@Andre Papillon
Hi Andre, thanks for the nice comment.
We have your suggestion noted down.
Thanks
61 countries lost people to the terrorist attack on 9/11. The name of this song stems from that, I believe. This song always brings back memories and sadness.
A couple of his great songs is Arlington and Margaritaville. Thanks for the reaction. 😊
I swear this is true. That morning when I dropped by baby at child care I just didn't want to leave her that morning. On my way to work I heard t the news.
Start off condolences to the UK, secondly Alan wrote this song one night right after 9/11. He is an amazing country singer. Yes he is a Christian man. Fabulous in concert
