My dad died Dec 9, 2021. This song means so much to me now than it did when I first heard it in the mid-80s. I always feared losing him, because I idolized him so much, and he did everything for the family without complaint, without the need for praise, and without the urge to brag or boast. My dad didn't speak much, he was a reserved man, so he didn't say "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" often, because if he said those words frequently to the point they lose meaning, it wouldn't be genuine, sincere, and from the heart. They would lose the gravity of them, so he was sparing in throwing that weight around. He said those two phrases in actions, by getting or doing things to show his love for us, and show he was proud of us.
My dad and I were close, even though we didn't talk much. We didn't have to talk. We had a sort of mind reading ability, were we could do some project and know what the other is thinking. I can't really describe it, but it was just extremely cool to give him a look and you'd know he understood. It's like me and my sister, saying the same thing at the same time, or finishing each other's sentences. The only time my mom saw my dad excited was when I was born, because I had his copper red hair and his nose!
My mom and dad dated for 8 years, meeting for the first time at my grandfather's funeral. When I was a few months along inside mom, they got married, and they were married for 46 years. They didn't argue, didn't yell, never fought. They loved each other deeply, and had many happy years together. I wish every couple had their kind of love and peace!
Every day since he passed, I tell the wind or the quiet darkness of the night how much I love him and miss him. I tell about things I did to look after my elderly mother, who has Alzheimer's. I talk about all the struggles I go through having all the extra responsibility of taking care of our finances and bills, repairing what breaks, making sure we got food to eat, the tough choices I have had to make, my hopes that I get it right, and my fears of getting it all wrong. I tell about the things I did "For The Family", because I promised him before he went into the hospital, while in the hospital, and on his grave that I would look after our family, and I've done my best to keep that promise. It's the only way I can truly be like him and show how much I love him, because that's my job, that's what I do, everything I do is because of him, to keep his memory alive, and keep my solemn promise to him.
Update: Today (June 14th) would have been my folks' 48th wedding anniversary. Mom, my sister and two nephews, and I went to dad's grave today. Afterward, I drove mom around cruising since the day is absolutely glorious. As we pulled in the backyard, so my mom could get out without having to deal with stairs, "That's My Job" started on my radio. I grabbed her arm, told her to get in, and cranked up the volume so she could hear it. It took all I had not to break down while hearing it. It seemed like dad was talking through the song with each line and lyric. I mean, what are the odds that of the 1,000s of songs to play, on this particular day, and considering where we came home from, that THIS would play just as we got home?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
I lost my dad on December 18, 2020. This sounds exactly like him, to the T. Thanks for sharing.
My condolences to you and your family. I have lost a bunch of people. I agree that it was him saying that he was there with you with the song playing
@SebsDuran Thank you, man! It means a lot, as does this song!
My dad meant the world to me, and he meant the world to my family, and there is no better way to honor him than living the example he set for us. I think in this day and age people don't give good fathers the credit that they are due, and like in my case, they don't fully appreciate things until they are gone. My dad sacrificed sleep, personal comfort, free time for himself, aches, pains, and more to not only provide for our family, but make sure our needs and wants were met before his, even up to the time he died at 80 years old. He worked 3rd shift, so that he could be home and grab some sleep while we were at school, so that he could be up in time for us to be home from school so he could spend time with us. He was at every school function we had without fail. He helped us with school projects. He was even a Den/Pack leader when I was in Cub and Boy Scouts. He had a couple side businesses to help to provide for us, and some of which were useful in teaching us things like home maintenance and being an entrepreneur. He taught us how to fish, how to hunt, how to do basic car and home repairs and upkeep, and how to be fully functioning adults. He was there when we had to go to the hospital for stitches, broken bones, medical checkups, and even 5 years ago when I had a stroke. His patience, as well as his humor, was legendary. Even with all these things I don't think it completely sums up my father's love for us, it ran to depths I am only now starting to fathom, and it breaks my heart that I'm only fully appreciating it all after he's gone.
As a teenager, I was quite rebellious. Dad and I had our struggles during this time, but no matter how much of a turd I was, he still was there when I needed it. Eventually, I grew out of it and matured, and my relationship with my dad really grew. He shared in the joy of my successes, and encouraged me though my failures. He also knew when to kick us in the butt and motivate us to not be lazy.
When my dad died, it fell on me to look after our family. I don't have kids or a wife of my own, and I didn't have any debts or major responsibilities before this. So having it all fall upon my shoulders at once was a bit of a shock to my system. I went from zero debt, to dealing with a significant amount of debt from my dad's estate which was thrust on my mom. Since she relied on my dad to deal with the financial things, she didn't know what to do or how to deal with it, and since she is nearly deaf and has Alzheimer's, I set up a power of attorney so I can do the necessary things in her stead. When things break, I fix them, or get someone to fix them. When bills need to be paid, I pay them. When the property needs to be maintained, I do it. My sister helps with mom's medical situation with doctors visits and prescriptions. When we need groceries, my sister and I tag team getting what we all need. I don't do these things out of obligation, I do these things out of love. Love for my dad, love for my mom, and love for our family. The sacrifices my dad made for us then, me and my sister are doing now. In doing these things, we feel closer to him, and understand and appreciate him all the more. It isn't the words that say it, it's the actions, and that is the lesson I learned the most from my dad that say "I love you", and it means so much more! So I am hoping that somewhere up there in heaven, he's proud!
Thanks for the video and taking the time to hear my story, and how this song is so deep and touching. Music is magic, and good country music like this reaches the soul in ways no other genres can quite touch!
Thank you how do think he was is a good one I recommend
I was adopted at birth, it was never a secret. When I turned 18 my dad took me camping, sitting around the fire hoisting a few beers. My dad handed me an envelope and said it contained all the information he had for me to go find my "family". I didn't open it and tossed it into the fire. I told him the only family I needed was sitting next to me, and mom waiting for us back home.
God bless you! From my heart. We are parents of a precious daughter who we adopted at birth. It was never kept from her. When she reached adulthood, I asked her if she wanted the information about her biological family. She said no, she has a mother and daddy and wasn't interested. Now we have her, her husband, and precious grandchildren. I am so glad someone else feels as she does. Bless your dear parents.
That's great that had to be the greatest moment in your lives
Home, you were already there.
Um wow
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My father was a professional musician and played with Conway Twitty and Barbra Mandrell. He said Conway was one of the nicest men he ever met.
My dad has been gone for 26 years. This song still rips my guts out
My mom disappeared when i was about ten. I had 2 older sisters and one brother. My dad raised us alone working construction sun up to sun down. I have never met a stronger man than my father. We are all grown up now and have families but our dad is still the hero and the amount of respect we have for him is not measurable.
My Father just passed at the age of 88 and it's been tough. I feel an empty feeling now knowing I'll never be able to talk with him again and get that reassurance he always gave to me. Dark times.....
From what I understand he wrote this after his father passed away. A beautiful tribute. Great reaction
Yes he did
What a very precious song!!! Sebs, my stepdad CHOSE to be my daddy when I was 7-1/2 years old. In March 2018, my mother had trouble breathing and went to ER. She was diagnosed with end-stage pancreatic cancer and died a week later. We knew my daddy was dying from colon cancer that had metastasized to his liver and lungs, which spread to his bones and brain in the last few weeks of his life. My daddy asked me to be his caregiver. My daddy was the best!!!! Before I leave his earth, I want to change my last name to my daddy’s last name. One doesn’t need to be related by blood to be family. ❤️❤️❤️
What a honor to your Father's memory!
Peace, Love!!
Not sure if you've heard Brad Paisley's song, He Didn't Have to Be. I still cry every time. My Dad adopted my sister & I. I'm sorry for your loss & will keep you in my prayers. 🙏
@@reneelee8870 YES!! Tear jerker for sure. My stepdad chose to be my daddy at 7-1:2 years old.
@@LadyGator1983 it hits hard because it is SO true! We're both blessed because they chose to be our Dad's! ❤️❤️❤️
I had a horrible dad. My mom though... absolutely amazing. I used to sing this song to her at Karaoke but changing the lyrics to fit my mother. She was a huge Conway Twitty fan. She actually saw him in concert a few days before he died. Every time I sang the song for her she cried. But I knew it was out of love.
She passed in 2002. I miss her every day. She was more than my mom, she was my best friend. I'm a self confessed mamma's boy and proud of it.
Conway had just THE best voice. Very sad that he was only 59 years old when he passed away. "Hello Darlin" by Conway is another beautiful song for you to try. ❤❤❤
I lost my Dad from cancer when i was 21. We were close, and he was a good Dad. This song reminds me of him and ill never forget all he done for me
I didn't meet my real father until I was 15 , only reason I did was by accidentally meeting him in public with my mom. Even then she didn't tell me right away. I asked why did that guy ask you how's my boy? And why do I look just like him?.... she told me my step dad wasn't my blood father. The whole family knew except me and I felt side swiped by a log truck. I set up a meeting with him and asked him why he wasn't there. He told me the best thing he could do at the time was stay away from me and just help financially. He was a highly functional alcoholic and owned a custom cabinet shop. I would visit his parents growing up with my mom and always thought they were family friends. Later around 27 he calls me and tells me he has cancer. He was only 50 when he died of brain cancer but that last year I spent every moment I could with him. Even tho I didn't have but a few short times with him something naturally broke inside me when he passed. I am grateful for my step-dad being the father he is to me still to this day in his odage. I have 2 children that aren't mine that I've raised with my wife for 15 years. One is 17 and one is 15. I treat them like my own bc they have a mostly absent father. My daughter the oldest dosent even acknowledge her real dad, the 15 yo son tries to have a relationship with him. Fathers aren't always blood I guess is what this soapbox rant is about. Anybody can make a kid but only a parent can raise one regardless of blood.
My dad passed over 15 years ago, mom passed 8 years ago. My dad hand made western saddles and always had country music on while he tooled the pieces. Dad had a beautiful voice and I spent hours sitting there watching and listening. I can still see him and hear his voice, the emotion in his voice was evident even to a 10 year old kid. They were great parents and grandparents; thank you for bringing wonderful memories alive again. God bless you and yours.
Conway Twitty was always considered the Elvis Presley of country music. He had probably 50 number ones or something like that. Something crazy that you wouldn’t expect and the day he died. I was on the way to Ocean City Maryland with some friends and I force them to listen to his greatest hits, because I had to show the man the respect he deserved on the day he passed.
Our Dad is gone, I will be a 70-year-old man this year, and I miss him and yes at 70 I still cry when I think about him. I love YOU DAD!
This song gets me every time. Another song that has the same effect is Holly Dunn Daddy's Hands.
I've gone down the rabbit hole tonight listening to songs that remind me of my dad. I'm a 50 yr old biker and Marine vet, and have spent my life being one tough SOB...just like my old man. I openly admit to getting a little teary eyed with some of these songs. He's been gone 3 years next week and it still stings.
Sometimes the biggest toughest guys cry the hardest.
Beautiful song. I lost my dad 4 years ago just before Father's Day. Dad was never one for words, but every day, I knew he loved me by his actions. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. 💜
The last chorus is Conway saying that it’s his job, to his dad, writing songs and singing to keep his dad safe with him.
The last verse his dad has died. That's the tragic news he's talking about and he says it's his job to write a song about his love for his dad. That's what is meant about the tragedy going in his head and out as poetry.
I’ve always loved this song.
Describes the opposite of my father.
Cried over this most of my life.
My uncle toured with him in the 70s and 80s. Got to hear this song, live many times. Didn't hit me much when I was a little kid but it does now. I know I don't have my dad much longer. Lost my mom about 5 years ago. It's scary. When we're young and know everything, I don't think we give them the credit they deserve for everything they've done for us.
This fits me and my Dad to a T. I lost my Dad in 95. I was/am a Daddies girl. I can't listen to this song without crying. Beautiful song. Thank you for your reaction and your memory of your Dad.
Conway Twitty is my mother’s all-time favorite vocalist and country star. I couldn’t stand him when I was a kid.
As an almost 46 year old kid? I absolutely love the guy’s music. He really was pretty great.
A good song of his that you should listen to, other than the usual hits like ‘Hello Darlin’ and the usual hits is ‘It’s Only Make Believe’. It was his first hit, a 50s Doo-Wop type of song, before he moved to country music. It’s one of my favorites.
Yeah, my dad is 76 years old and I know that he’s already passed a man’s statistical expiration date and that any day he wakes up is yet another gift from the Lord God. I’ll be 46 this 18 April, and I’m a pretty tough guy. I’m a fairly manly man.
When he does pass it will destroy me. Mom as well; she’s already living with one foot in the grave with her bad, bad health and if he passes before she does I know that she’ll follow not much longer. I honestly don’t know how I’ll get through it; my poor daughter is going to have to be a shoulder for her daddy to cry on! I know it’s life, and that we all have to face the deaths of our parents if we are fortunate enough to live a long life, and that we all get through that loss eventually. But man, it’s gonna wreck me. I’m going to be a mess when they go.
My father has been gone for a year this month, he would sing this to me and my sister's when we were little. This song has very special meaning to me and my sisters 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
This has ALWAYS been my song for my dad. He made us listen to all the “older” country while growing up. I used to have these dreams growing up being terrified to lose him. I had a very vivid dream seeing him at his funeral and three weeks later (day before his birthday), I’m an EMT but you NEVER expect “the next call” you run to be your dad 😢. Feeling completely helpless as a professional and a daughter haunts me every day. I have about 560 songs on one playlist and I ask him to let me know he’s there and within the next 3 songs, this song plays. He’s always with me and I have to hold onto that. ❤
I lost my dad 5-4-23 an this was the last song we played while they shut the casket. 1 memory i have is 16yrs ago i moved to Michigan from NY an i called him like 6mnth later an he was right out that door to come move me right back. I will always think of him coming to rescuing me an saying im your dad, thats my job when it doesnt work out. I had the honor to be his caretaker an even though i lost my mama 8mnth before him, i went from being her caretaker right into being hism. I love you an miss you so much daddy. I will always be your lil girl. Rih Edward Cleavland Sr..
The last verse kills me. The whole thing kills me. But that last verse Conway is saying it back to his dad. He says, “ I say, ‘Daddy, I’m so afraid. How will I go on, with you gone this way? How can I come up with a song to say I love you? That’s my job. That’s what I do. Everything I do is because of you, to keep you safe with me, that’s my job you see…”
He’s saying it back to his dad and is, I like to imagine, saying that he wouldn’t be able to do what he does without the job his father did. Now he’s doing his job and that’s the most beautiful thing about this song to me after all these years.
I never had I dad, only monsters, nor been one, but I get it. God Bless You. Peace.
This came out when i was in HS...I still sob when i hear it. I'm so afraid of the day this happens. My dad is 84.
I love how he turned the last verse into it being HIS job, to write that song, showing how much, he loved his dad. Just perfect.
I lost my father 4 years ago, but every time I hear this song it brings fond Memories of him back to me I Miss You dad
Oh wow. You have an awesome Dad. I have a similar story about my father-in-law. Kenny, my husband and his Dad, Kenneth, had a falling out years ago. Kenneth was a truck driver all of Kenny's life. (this info is significant to the story). In 2008, when the economy went to pieces, Kenny left his failing job and went to truck driving school. After school and about a month with a trainer, he was out on his own. It was in December of 2008 that Kenny called me and he was scared to death. He was in Oklahoma in a blinding snow with ice packed under the snow in the dead of night. I tried to get him to pull off somewhere but he was afraid to because he could not see well enough to safely do that. I really did not know what else to do. I told him to hang up and call me back a little later because I was really no help. So, I thought to myself that there was only one person who could help him and that was his Dad. I called him and his first response was, "what do you want me to do about it"? I told him that if there was ever a time that Kenny needed his Dad, it was right now before something terrible happened. He called Kenny and after getting him calmed down he explained to him what he needed to do and how to see where other drivers were going without being able to see the actual trucks. Kenny made it to a safe spot for the night and he and his father talked every single day after that for the 4 years that Kenny drove. Pride should never get in the way of any relationship!
I cry every time i here this song. Every dang time and i don't ever cry but i sure do miss my dad
There is nothing better than classic country!
I didn't have the best parents. I was not left out in the cold though.. I was blessed with incredible grandparents that I could mentor and strive for, and I did successfully. All four of them were amazing and astonishing human beings in what they achieved in life. All four of them very unique, and all four characters. 😁
My grandpa Harold (an original cowboy, help build the country), was incredibly intelligent. I mean they all were. So when I came for a visit one year long before he passed. I had just discovered Conway, so I thought I was going to impress Grandpa Harold by talking about him. First thing he said was, "you know his real name's Harold Jenkins".... Of course it is Grandpa.❤🤗
I am a firm believer in become now, who you wish you were. If your parents aren't the best or not worth a damn, rest assure, there is someone in your lineage that was. Look to them, and count on you to become your number one. That's your job, that's what you'll do.❤
As a father, this hits different. Lost my dad in 2001, and we had our troubles, but we sorted it out before he died. I'm forever grateful for that, but my step father, inspires me to be the daddy that mine wasn't.
Sitting here with the tears rolling down, thinking back to my time growing up. Thanks for covering this song.
I didn't have a father in my life. I found a friend that we had music in common. For 6 years we hung out and listened to music. He was a dad i never had. He has passed away a few years ago.
My Daddy's been gone 46yrs. He died when I was 18. I miss him EVERY SINGLE DAY. This song makes me fall apart EVERY time I hear it.😭💔
Please check out Reba McEntire's "The Greatest Man I Never Knew".
Conway is irreplaceable. He was such a good man to his friends, family and fans. A talent unmatched by any other.
What a cool reaction, a lot like when Love, Me came on the radio when I passes the National Cemetery.
Unfortunately, my dad died two months before I was born and my mom never remarried so I never had the father daughter experience, but I know how special it is. Love this song!
I can't listen to this song without crying. I have always been a daddy's girl. I am so thankful I still have my parents. I am a blubbering mess right now. Thanks for the reaction!
Conway is THE MAN. This song gives me chills everytime. I can only imagine what it would do to me if my Dad had stuck around. You see, my Dad must've been a magician. Because he dissapeared when I was 2 and never returned.
I am 58 years old and when I hear that song I always think about my dad and that is a great song and there’s a lot more of great songs in country music I guess if anything I guess Jason song is getting a lot of them attention
I loved your reaction to this song. It was so genuine. This song is so beautiful and pulls at your heart.
My dad may not have fathered me but he was the best man any dad could wish for. I miss my dad. I hope I honored you dad
I love this channel. I just found you and the first reaction I watched "I hate country music" I love to see the transformation. Each song tells a story be it happiness or grief. This one got me. I was raised on Conway Twitty and Hank Williams Jr. I lost my dad 12 years ago to cancer. I thought I would die without him. I still wonder some days as it has become my mission to care for my mother in his absence. She has been diagnosed with Parkinsons and dementia. My Dad and God prepared me for these moments. Some days I forget that. Thank you.
I cant hear this song without crying. I used to be very close to my daddy and over the years its not as much. But i know that i can call him for anything no matter what. I love my dad. And he will always be my hero
Listen to Even though I'm Gone, by Chester See. Played at my dad's funeral. It's so good to be able to say you know your dad truly loved you because a lot of dads don't offer that love.
Keeping promises, no matter how hard, leads to peace of mind in the end and that leads to contentment. You only realise that after you have kept the promise.
I’ve listened to this song a hundred times and it tears me up each and every time!
Truly an amazing song...
If you don't get emotional listening to it, definitely have a cold heart...
He was not talking about his dad saying thats my job to me. He was saying to me that its now his job to keep his fathers memory alive after his passing because he went and became a singer
Sebs, first introduced to your videos today, after watching you critque 12 or so videos I feel your heart and wanted you to view a Vince Gill video, as it happens you saw the video of Vince Gill and Patty Loveless @ George Jones memorial..Welcome to Country it is the heart and soul of our nation. I like so many listen to many types of music--country--is what touches my soul most often--keep doing what you do and enjoying all that you hear God Bless
My dad used to sing this all the time ❤ I lost him in 2012 so every time I hear it I can't help but ball like a baby😢
Yeah. This song gets me every time, but mostly from the other side of the street. My dad was not there… It makes me smile to know there are people out there who live up to what a dad should be.
Conway has the ❤️. Old School Old Love 😘
I'm lucky to have a Dad do anything for me and is still part of my life love you dad thank you
I fall into the wish category. I was my father's only child. He met my daughter once and never met my son. I was fortunate to marry a much, much, much better man. He is the biological father lol. We have been married 31 years. He was the daddy in the song. He had a horrible upbringing and he would do anything (and has) for our kids. Sometimes, I think he goes overboard but they will never doubt how much he loves them. We don't have money but he will drive 3 hours one way to fix our daughter's car, house etc. He is amazing but not coddling. They are 100% independent. Considering where we came from, I think he is incredible. Appreciate your GOOD dads, even if you don't understand them. Some of them would take a bullet or do anything for you.
From someone that didn't have that, cherish it, even if you don't want to be told what to do. Think of it this way, at least someone cares enough to try to correct you so that you don't go down that road.
Okay, so I am crying right now. This song epitomizes who my dad was to me and my siblings. He has been gone almost 8 years-- I really miss him. He passed 9 months after my mom.
I have a young daughter, and my biggest fear in the world is failing her or leaving her. She is all my reasons, so this song hits hard for me.
When I was in my early 40's I was sent to the hospital for an involuntary stay. I had 2 cats, but no friends to ask to care for them. My family was spread out over several states and none were close by. I knew I couldn't ask either of my brothers for help, and my mom had passed years before. I could only ask my dad. I didn't know what he would say, but my experience with him to that point was that he would either say he couldn't help or would say he could help but not follow through. But as I said, there was no one else to ask. When he got on the phone, I immediately started crying. This startled both of us because it was unlike me. When I told him I needed him, he said he would leave right then--and he did. He not only cared for my cats, he stayed for a cpl weeks to make sure I was ok. We found out a lot about each other during that stay. He told me that he thought I didn't care for him bc I was so emotionally distant. I told him that my experience had led to be believe, "I might as well take care of myself. Nobody else is going to do it." That's when his eyes teared up, and he said that it was his job to take care of me. He wasn't referring to this song, which I just now listened to for the 1st time. He just meant it at face value. It was emotional. We worked though a lot of problems during that stay and continue to be close to this day. He's getting old enough now that he needs me more than I need him in some ways, but I still need him. I didn't make it past the first verse of this song before started crying. I love my dad.
I don’t have a relationship with my dad but my mom has been there for me through everything. This song relates so much to us. Love you mom!
Conway had a beautiful voice and beautiful songs
All his songs were good even the romantic ones. Good reaction.
In my opinion the best country song ever
Now I'M crying. My sister, youngest daughter, and I were all talking late last evening, after our Monday night Bible study. We were discussing the fact that Jesus did not tell His disciples to go PREACH (or judge or condemn others). What He did teach them to do was to spread the "Gospel of the Kingdom," which throughout the New Testament is described as, "...healing the sick, cleansing the leper, casting out demons, and raising the dead."
Jesus (who always mentioned that He never did anything without seeing and/or hearing His Father say and/or do it first), always led by example. That was His job. Speaking of that, led to our personal description of that process, as "building legacies." We didn't mean leaving money to someone, etc. We meant leaving the memories that help following generations of family learn how to "do life," and how to pass THAT on to the next generation, etc., etc., etc.
That's what our Father has done for us every single moment since Adam's creation and first breath. That's what God expects from us. If we take that attitude and simply do what Jesus said to do, in every aspect of our lives, then His legacy is still working. Sometimes there are things that happen that make us wonder where or not it's working, but then God reminds us, "It's OK! I'm still here. You are still covered by the blood of Jesus. That's my job."
Contrary to what some people think, it's NOT our job to go around judging and condemning others. It's our job to spread the LIGHT, the LIFE, and the LOVE of God, in every way possible (and there a TON of ways to...heal the sick, cleanse the leper, cast out demons, and raise the dead).
Both my mom and my dad are gone from Earth, now. Daddy died at age 54. He raised us that way...to be conscious of what we do in life, so that we can pass on the things that are necessary to and for the next generation. Mom passed away in 2014 (at age 90)...leaving behind her the same type of legacy. My younger-younger brother (the younger of my two younger brothers) passed away in 2009 (also at age 54). He had come out of pretty much a train-wreck of a life, into a life of strong, strong belief in the Lord. The legacy he left for his wife and daughter are now being passed from them to the next generation, as well. My older brother only lived 10 days after his birth. I often think, these days, of how Daddy, Mom, and he are enjoying being together now. What a blessing!
My husband and I have six children (four were mine, one was his, and we added the sixth, in 1985). Those children are now passing the same legacies down to their own children (we have 22 grandchildren at this point in time, as we approach our 40th anniversary), and through some of those, there are now five great-grandchildren who are being taught many, if not all, of the same values with which Mom and Dad were raised, we were raised, then all of them have been raised.
I thank God every day for HIS legacy--handed down and bringing life to and through so many thousands of generations. Hallelujah! 😀
I love this song. I cry every time I hear it. You have to do "Daddy's Hand's" by, Holli Dunn. If you haven't done it already.
I just found you tonight for the first time and have loved seeing you experience classic country music. It's now 2 AM and I simply have to stop watching videos and get some sleep. Kudos for great work. After crying my heart out during this one, I can finally settle my mind and call it a night. God bless you.
Crying right along with you buddy, this gets me every time.
Came to read the comments but I'm the first one here, so I'll check back later😅
I remember his very first record I heard him sing was in 1973, it was called Make Believe. He sounded just like Elvis Presley. You should check it out.
No, the end of the song is the son singing to his dad. The son is the singer/songwriter. After years of touring, he settled down near his dad to take care of him.
Maybe a little late to this vid party but I recommend, “Drive,” by Alan Jackson. My son and I danced to this song at his wedding because he had his first fender bender at age 3 and then would tell how awesome it was when he got air flying over an interaction on a country road. And we love Jeeps!
I had an alcoholic dad and he was not a good dad but loved him and knew he loved me
This is exactly what happened to me just that I wasn't a kid when my dad passed a few years ago. I knew he was sick and hospice was involved. I dreamt the night before of his passing and woke up to the reality that he had passed in the night. In all sincerity, this song came into my head, and then, just as now my eyes filled with tears as the lyrics ran through my head and the thoughts of everytime my dad was there for me and gave me the strength to get through what I was dealing with.
My Dad and I always listened to this song, He passed in 2015 from Lung Cancer, and now this song is haunting for me to listen to. You take parents for granted, until they are gone, and then you feel like half of you is no longer there. My Dad was my mechanic, Mr . Fix it, The Answer when I could never find the right answer. Now I am in this world, and things happen, I go dial and remember he won't answer , and I feel lost. This song reminds you to value parents, grandparents.
Thank you for finally doing this. I came across this song a few years after my dad passed and it hit me deep.
As someone who has lost both parents, this hits so hard. Lost my dad at 18, and lost my mom two weeks ago at age 30. After my dad died, mom was the one unremovable constant in my life, and now with her gone I don't know what Im feeling or what to do now that she's gone.
She isn't "gone" she will always be with you, in memories and in your heart.
So sorry for your loss. May God bless you with peace and comfort.
I think we do for others what their example did for us. I hope you are well.
Alot of respect for you. Your open mind to music and people is awesome! I'm old but young people could learn from you
The one and only conway
My young Mr. Sir ... This song cuts into your soul. I'm 55 and I can't tell how this sounds reminds me of my father
It's the honesty in how he sings "Daddy" that unlocks the door of the heart. There's a truth in the way Conway delivers that one word that we can all relate to because we've lived the innocence of childhood calling on our fathers for comfort and strength. Add to that the confidence with which he sings "That's my job. That's what I do." It encompasses that sense of safety we got as children when our father would tell us that everything would be ok. It's incredible the way Conway Twitty was able to bring those kinds of experiences and emotions to life in this song. I was around 20 when it was first released, and it made me cry back then. I am now in my mid 50s, a father and grandfather, and the song still makes me tear up when I hear it.
❤❤❤❤ love some Conway Twitty!!!
My Daddy died 5 months after my Mom, to the day. They've been gone almost 19 years now. He wasn't a perfect father, but he loved me, and really loved my children.
I miss him. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊❤🙏🍀🤟🌹
This has to be one of the best father and child songs ever! And Noone can sing it better than Conway ❤
Yessssss!!!! I wanted you to do this for Father’s Day
I lost my dad in 1989 when I was 19 years old. I've now lived more years without him than than I did with him. It hurts thinking of him now as much as it did back then. Those 19 years I wouldn't trade for anything, they were the best years of my life, when my family was whole and all together. Make sure you tell your loved ones what they mean to you while you have more than just memories.
i lost my dad back in May, and we had this song played at his funeral.
Love your page man. I lost my dad in July 2020 and this song reminds me of him. Thanks for sharing it with your audience.
Conway and Whitley are great singers
I lost my dad in September of this year. I have his guitars in my possession and have played this on them numerous times since….
Conway, one of my favorites singers… his songs hit you in a different way… his music in my opinion is under rated
Thank you Sebs for this review. I've been watching a couple reactions to this song and while I'm not a subscriber, I do enjoy watching your reactions. Truly a great song, from a guy that my entire family listen to when I was a youngster. I hope you have a safe and joyful Independence Day!
I thought of this song a few days ago and thought I should suggest it on your voting site. Glad someone beat me to it.
i lost my mom in '02 and my dad in '05, i'm turning 63 this August, you never get over the pain of losing your parents, you just make room for it. and keep going for the ones that call you dad.
My favorite Conway
I can hardly listen to this without crying , thinking of my dad. I lost my adoptive Dad 7 years ago and my birthdad last Christmas. Its a beautiful song.
Lost my old man in 2016. This was my favorite song and when he passed it took on another level!! Good stuff man!!!
