    Lyrics:
    When I was ten years old,
    I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,
    When we were goin' on an eight hour drive,
    If I could just watch T.V.
    And I'd have given anything
    To have my own PacMan game at home.
    I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade,
    Now I've got it on my phone.
    He-e-ey...
    Glory glory hallelujah.
    Welcome to the future.

    I was there that day. I flew to DC to go to Congress for the ACA and actually bumped into Brad! Everyone was walking around taking pictures & I looked up and said.. "OMG! That's Brad Paisley!" and he looked over and smiled and waved at me. I took a few pictures of him with my camera and got to be in the video! It was the coolest thing I ever experienced.

    Brad Paisley has always been one of my favorite artists, but this was the first time I noticed all the representation of disabilities. As the mom of a deaf, nonverbal son in a wheelchair, I just want to say THANK YOU for showing that all our kids are people with hopes and dreams.

    Anyone notice the line that appears twice “Glory glory hallelujah?” The double “glory” gives it away as a quote from “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” which was basically the anthem for the Union army during the Civil War. And since this song was written as a tribute to the election of Barack Obama, I take it to mean that this moment symbolized the achievement of what the Union soldiers set out to do. Such an incredibly moving song and video. 😭😭😭

    I've been a fan of Brad Paisley for quite a few years, but I was unaware of this song and video. For anyone who thinks "Country Music" is just about Trucks, Girls,Drinking Beer and Whiskey and being Heartbroken after a woman leaves you, THIS song is quite an eye-opener! I LOVED it.

    I didn’t even LIKE Country Western music when I first met Brad Paisley. He asked me what kind of music I did like and I said that I mostly like classical music that my son plays on the piano, but I also like some Christian pop rock, too. He said that was cool but would I like to listen to some music of his?
    Of course, I did, NOT EXPECTING to fall absolutely in love with the MAN before WELCOME to the FUTURE was even over!!

      He's SO talented at capturing EXACTLY what's going on in our world, and put it to music. I agree with whoever said EVERYONE in the ENTIRE WORLD needs to hear THIS GEM!!!
      Certainly makes one think.
      And that's part of what makes him SO extraordinarily talented, he can put his idea to serious words, that touches people in their hearts & souls, OR he can add some humor, quite UNIQUE HUMOR If you ask me!
      Do you know of ANYONE else, in ANY genre, that wrote a VERY funny about COVID???? I sure don't!!
      JUST BRAD! He knew what everyone needed, a song to really uplift everyone's spirits by and his #1 Hit Song- "THERE'S NO I IN BEER", especially the video, was FUNNY & TOUCHING & COMFORTING ALL at the same time. Only Brad can come up with the best idea to give not just Americas, but the WHOLE WORLD got in on that video, so he was actually spreading CHEER worldwide! Which IS EXACTLY what the whole world needed at that time! He's just SOOO good at doing that!!! He's DEFINITELY MY #1 FAVORITE Male Artist.
      And thats not even to mention just how well he can play that guitar!!! Most people in Country just strum some chords on an acoustic, (which I love too!) But they're satisfied with just doing that. NOT PAISLEY. He's the lead singer AND lead guitarist!! I remember when people tried to compare guitar skills between him & Keith Urban. Instead of getting wrapped up in the drama,
      Brad wrote "Start A Band" and Keith & him made the most AWESOME VIDEO for it!! Still one of my all time favorites!
      Then his latest two hits, "Same Here", which is about the war in Ukraine right now. In the video, he actually has Ukraine's President on a phone call with him, that becomes a part of the song. It's SO special, SO powerful. AND THEN, "You Only Get So Many Summers"... Wow, that one REALLY hits home with me, and brings me to tears. It's just about how short this life really is, and we only get so many summers with our loved ones. Well, 😥😭 sadly, I just lost my Mom 9 months ago, so have been grieving for her .....
      And this year, this August actually, will be the 10th anniversary of our youngest son's death. Ten years. That's unreal. So when Brad tries to tell everyone NOT to take a moment for granted, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANS. I miss my Son AND my Mom more than I can ever put into words. I just keep my faith that I WILL see them again, one glorious day!
      God Bless Anyone Reading This Comment 🙏✝️💯✌️

    Just reminiscing on old Brad Paisley videos, and this is by far one of the coolest songs he's ever done. Very insightful and important. Can I just say, about the comments below: I am a Christian and I love God, and if you do not believe, then so be it. I cannot tell you how to live, or if you are wrong, etc.. But what I will say is, like the message in this song, let us embrace ACCEPTANCE and LOVE, of all. Black, white, gay, straight, we are all human.

      ***** we need a leader from the common people. Someone who is sympathetic to the achievers as well as the abused. Someone who can truly be indifferent to what either side wants and think of the nation, and the planet, as a whole. Neither choice was capable of that. We are entering the most turbulent time in our nation and the world's history. I am scared but look forward to it. I will survive, this great country will come out stronger and our world will be healed. The one world nation has begun to take its first steps. I look forward to our space faring, one world society. The planet is alive and it knows who the bad people are. It will purge itself of them and leave the rest of us here to clean up and create a new society based in ethics and ingenuity. The battle between good and evil is here and the good will win, it always does. 100 years from now, our offspring will look back and see that this is where we took a stand against 1984 and our planet was healed.

    We are all more similar than we are different. Whenever your life drags you down and makes you start to hate others....anyone....actively fight against that. Life is hard by definition. Sometimes it is so hard we can't deal with it. Hate is easy and useless. Love is hard and everything. I learned that the hard way. Accept that now please.

    The firefighting apparatus at 3:23, FDNY Engine 54, is quartered on 8th Avenue in Times Square with Ladder 4 and Battalion 9. All three companies at this station lost their entire crews at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. This was the only fire station in New York City to lose their entire shift that day.
    Due to their location in Time Square, the station plays an important role on Broadway, for which they received a TONY Award in 2019. A fire inspection must be conducted for a theatre prior to the public opening of a new show. It is the firefighters and command officers of Engine 54, Ladder 4, and Battalion 9 who are usually tasked with conducting the inspections. The station, and Engine 54 in particular, make their presence and role on Broadway known with Engine 54's Slogan, which appears both across the top of her windshield, and on the station patch: "NEVER MISSED A PERFORMANCE".

    I love you so much Brad Paisley. I wanted to be a pilot and an astronaut. That was in 1960 when Pres. Kennedy asked us to "ask not" - I was ten years old, and I took it serious. I gave myself flying lessons at 15, unbenownst to my Dad, who had said: "no". He said: "be a nurse, be a teacher, be a banker lady, but, society will not let you be a pilot, let alone, an astronaut. You will be fighting for your job every minute of every day. I don't want a pioneer, nor a martyr, and that's what you'll be for the rest of your life." I was in a rage most of my adult life. Got a job at a telecommunications company, married late in life, had one child even later. I showed her the world, and everything in it, including NASA Space Camp - twice. But, she had other ideas. Long story short, she was accepted to one of the top engineering school in the country. She had to fight me to be a Civil Engineer, because I wanted her to be a pilot, and an astronaut. She said: "Mom, that's your dream, mine is I want to work to make the Earth better...she works for the Feds, as a top engineer making buildings healthier. Mr. Paisley, you made me cry. Thank you for your music, thank you for who you are. I would like to thank your parents for raising such a fine young man.
