Your sweet face during that entire song was precious. Your whole demeanor told it all. You are someone who knows.. A guy who loves his family. My hubby and I were also 15 and 16 when we met. He was my first and only . The sweetest man I ever had the privilege of loving. We had almost 40 years together before he went home to heaven. He was 57 and I was 56. Gone too soon. Never thought I’d walk this earth without him. He was my rock. Three kids and 9 grandkids. Gorgeous song. Pretty much says it all ❤️
@denise Glenn I’m so sorry for your loss. Me and my husband was 17 when we met and we’ve been together 23 years. We do everything together we work in the same place we shop together and I just couldn’t imagine not having him. I almost died twice…I spent 2yrs off and on in the hospital and this man didn’t leave my side through it all. He went through a lot and after I came home I had to have 24hr care. It was rough on him but he never once complained. I would’ve never survived without him.
I love your reaction. Alan actually cheated on his wife but they worked it out. I read his wife’s book about it. And now they are stronger than ever. That’s actually his wife and children in the video. It may be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard!
I cry like a baby every time hear this song. I think of me & my late husband who died 3 yrs ago. We were married for 47 yrs. I miss him terribly. My Alan Jackson get well.
I met my husband at 17 , we got married when I was 20 . I just turned 58 and this year is our 38th wedding anniversary. He’s the love of my life , he always has been . I’m such a blessed woman to have him and our wonderful son and two beautiful grandsons . They are all my life ♥️
I also met my wife when I was 15... I don't know why, but that hit home. This was my grandparents song to one another. It played at both of their funerals. I normally don't like country music, but this song just... hits different.
These pics are all of him & his long-time wife. Over 40 years. Beautiful couple & nobody can touch your heart like Alan, with his simple, effortless style. HIs voice is 'like butter'. If you have not heard his song he wrote immediately after 9/11, 'Where were you when the world stopped turning'. Powerful stuff. love your sweet face.
This song really is a weeper for sure. My man & I were married at 16 & 18, had our 61st anniversary in April. We're really starting to realize that time passes faster with each year that goes by. Now, it sure is flying! We've been very happy, & blessed with two great kids also. Have had many wonderful years, with a few inevitable heartbreaks along the way. I pray it will let us down gently at the end...lol.
I can only imagine this song makes me cry nearly every time I'm only 24 but I look back at even just the past five years and so much happened, and yet in the moment it feels like not much has happened like it flew on by. I can only hope to be with someone for even half that time not much luck though never had a relationship and I'm sure almost no one wants to be around someone who's awkward and nervous. This song just brings back memories and make me feel like I've lived longer than I have some people say life is short and while that may be true it feels pretty long to me. So much can happen in just a few years let alone decades+ I'm glad you've had many wonderful years a lot of people don't get that hope you have many more. I keep thinking about the day I'll lose my parents from time to time it's a natural part of life, but I know it will hit hard I feel it I fear it will hit harder than I expect though.
@@Chrisimplayer I do remember how "in the moment" we live our lives when we are young, which is where you are now. I pray you will find that special someone at the exact right time in your life, so don't lose heart. Neither my husband nor I were popular kids, just happened to love the same things. You will also likely lose your parents, but maybe not for many years, and you will find the strength you need then. Live is full of fearful, wonderful, sad, happy stuff- live YOUR life & don't forget to count your blessings! God love you~
As I've gotten older this song means more and more to me. The part that hits me harder is when he says remember when 30 seemed so old. I wish I could go back 15 years and do it all again knowing what I know now.
Me and my wife has been together since she was 15 and I was 16, I'm 25 now and songs like this remind you of how special you should treat the one you love so much.
This may not be the most beautiful song ever written, but it's in the argument. From the instruments to the backing vocals to the lyrics. Oh, and that pedal steel solo right in the middle. This song really encapsulates the very best of pure country music. I am not the biggest Alan Jackson fan, but this song right here is one of the best.
This song is heartbreaking, and heart renewing EVERY time!!!! ..... been there, done that, after 35 + years...... and 3 grandchildren later...... my heart STILL breaks when I hear this 😢😭❣️❣️
Alan Jackson had Van F up. That song takes breath away it's real everything is real. Pure Love is true and real. Our father has shown that the key to life is Love
This makes me cry every time I've seen it. Loved your heartfelt reaction. Please share this video with your wife. Sometimes we need a reminder of all the love and life we've shared.
Wait until the grandchildren Van. They will infuse your life with more love than you thought you had left in you. I'm 73 and grew up with three older brothers. They are all gone now, but those granddaughters are my life and bring me happiness and joy everyday and fill my heart with more love than I thought I had in me.
thank you...I have so many remember whens..we almost made it to 50 years. I have to go the rest of the way alone...I cried all the way through it but I would do it all over again!! ☺♥
Thank you for doing this song. It is very special to me. My hubby and I had 51 loving years before he passed away. And this song reminds me of all of them.
My husband and I met when he was just 20 and I was 21. We are grey now. We have a daughter who is 37 and a son 25 and grandkids. He has brain cancer. I have my own health issues. I know when he passes, this will be a song I play at his funeral (hopefully mine of I go first). I remember crying when I turned 25 that I was old and too close to being 30 then I liked to be. Now I’m closer to 60 and I miss our little house we bought when we were just 23. I miss the time we thought we could till you our yard and plant sod till an elderly neighbor man laughingly came over to show us the right way. Trial and error. That’s life. The mistakes. Mismanagement of life and fixing them again. We still learn from mistakes and watch our kids make many of the same. It’s life. And I’d do it all again.
You should play this song to your wife and if she is ok with being on camera, do a reaction or not. Either way, with your love story….you’ve got to play it to her!!! Great reaction ❤️
Married 35yrs + . Get ready for surprises to come because they will. We bought the land thing too lol. So crying everyday when our daughter married and moved away, I missed her so much and was so lonely then they announced a baby on the way. God had a surprise for all of us. The sibling she always wanted was on the way ,5 months behind our grandson . Life is funny.
Seeing you smile during this song and how sweetly you talk about your wife has me smiling too. I think I even have a crush now. I say that in the most respectful way possible! Wishing you and your wife many more happy years together.
I do believe this song i s the best of country music. The memories just overwhelm you. If there is something that fits the word" Poignant" it has to be this beautiful song, the best of Alan Jackson. You ate right the perfect love song !
You realize I rewatch your videos. This is one of my favorites. It is a beautiful Love story. I can see by your face that it is your love story. My love story didn't end as the story was told. After 36years of being married to the man I Love more than life, we divorced. So all of the the REMEMBER WHENS,still keep going on in my mind and heart 30 years later. Life is not always kind. I can see that you and Alan Jackson share a family story. We We are the same
This song is the perfect love song because he talks about the pain and hurt they caused each other along with the love and joy!!! And through it all they loved each other enough to work it out!!! The songs that talk about love as if it is always perfect always feel unrealistic to me!!
March 14th 2022 I watched the reaction video again the joy on your face and the love in your eyes says it all you're a good man keep doing what you're doing.. always remember when
Aye man, i know you’ll probably never see this… but your openness to different sounds & vulnerability of emotion you display from connecting to it all for yourself but also for your following is very commendable. My favorite out there right now. Thank you. Tis’ a beacon of hope. One love.
Thanks my friend for your generous reaction, plus the dapper Cap which in Philly we called a Jeff. He told our story, where ever we come from.The joys, the struggles. The lives that come and go. If we were only aware of how important those small times were. How they created the sum of our lives. There are some who were aware I suppose, however I was not one of them. I see it now. I wish there would be a way to pass that wisdom on however the next generation knows it all, as as we did. So you can only softly tell your story and hope they listen. Peace
Such a beautiful song...so many memories and truths. I think it speaks to all of us and Alan Jackson was blessed with a golden voice. Didn't know he was going thru hard times. Prayers.
Was our song at our wedding 26 years ago yesterday. Going to surprise my wife tonight by trying to sing this at a karaoke bar here in Aruba. I highly doubt I can get through it without welling up and becoming a mess. But Im going to do my damndest!
This song I'm so glad so many can relate. There are some of us who can't and never will be able to for times has long past. But nothing is more beautiful that the story of young love who grew old together
Talking about meeting your wife at 15 your eyes got all soft and the love glowed. That's the look of a soul mate. I know that look because it was in my husband's eyes for 31 years. Not nearly long enough. Lord knows how I miss that man. This song is his song to his wife. The beautiful blond with her head on his chest is his wife.
Alan Jackson gets me every time. Makes me think of my parents and grandparents and all the things they went through. And the only thing we can do is enjoy the time we have left.
Your truthful and thoughtful reaction has made me subscribe to your channel. I’m 66/67 and my wife and I both had bad divorces but have been married to each other for 32 years now and have raised 4 children and we both were worried that when the kids left what would we have? We found the love that started it all and have become closer and deeper than ever. Cherish your children but find the love that started it all for the both of you and enjoy as the years get shorter. My wife and I know that my time is closer than we both want. Love to you and yours.
I simply love your reaction to this video. Watching you think of your wife and family in such a precious way brings tears to my eyes. I have always loved this song and I'm glad you like it,too. ❤️❤️
I watched this with a lump in my throat holding back the tears. Wow Van just discovered you a few days ago coming across your listen to “Am I the Only One” and I’m hooked. I like you so much! There is such a sweetness about you and it’s so obvious, you just get it. You understand what’s important in life and every time I watch you remind me of it.
Alan is one of my all time favorite artists. He writes his own lyrics using his own own life as inspiration. There is a documentary on him. You definitely need to see it!!!
One of the best reactions of this song I have ever seen!!!....you can tell you truly love your wife!!!....listen to Kenny Rodgers "Lady",the live version in concert!!!....it was written and produced by Lionel Richie!!!

Denise Glen so sorry for the kids of your LOVE ! MY HUBBY AND I GOING ON 43 YRS LOVE M THIS SONG THANKS LFR FAMILY!!!!!
What a beautiful love story. The loss must be unbearable at times. 🙏🏼
@denise Glenn I’m so sorry for your loss. Me and my husband was 17 when we met and we’ve been together 23 years. We do everything together we work in the same place we shop together and I just couldn’t imagine not having him. I almost died twice…I spent 2yrs off and on in the hospital and this man didn’t leave my side through it all. He went through a lot and after I came home I had to have 24hr care. It was rough on him but he never once complained. I would’ve never survived without him.
I’m so sorry Denise . ❤️🙏🇨🇦😩
❤️🙏🏻
he didn't just tell his stories, he told your story, that's what touches people in this song
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
Young Sir. You are what being a true MAN is all about. This world is a better place because you are in it. God Bless you and yours.
It takes years to grow old together. Years, and then be glad for those years. Growing old.
I love your reaction. Alan actually cheated on his wife but they worked it out. I read his wife’s book about it. And now they are stronger than ever. That’s actually his wife and children in the video. It may be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard!
You cant listen to this song not look back on your life. So beautiful
This is my husbands and I song.. (28 years) we’ve been married since I was 15, and he was 16.. We also, live in the town Alan Jackson grew up in..
I honestly can't listen to this song without crying
I cry like a baby every time hear this song. I think of me & my late husband who died 3 yrs ago. We were married for 47 yrs. I miss him terribly. My Alan Jackson get well.
I met my husband at 17 , we got married when I was 20 . I just turned 58 and this year is our 38th wedding anniversary. He’s the love of my life , he always has been . I’m such a blessed woman to have him and our wonderful son and two beautiful grandsons . They are all my life ♥️
No need to apologize for stopping the song to tell how you relate. So glad for your long marriage. God bless.
Just turned 70. Been married 41 years. Life is good. Wasn't always easy, good things seldom are
I also met my wife when I was 15... I don't know why, but that hit home. This was my grandparents song to one another. It played at both of their funerals. I normally don't like country music, but this song just... hits different.
Alan is one of the most prolific and talented singer songwriters in the history of country music.
These pics are all of him & his long-time wife. Over 40 years. Beautiful couple & nobody can touch your heart like Alan, with his simple, effortless style. HIs voice is 'like butter'. If you have not heard his song he wrote immediately after 9/11, 'Where were you when the world stopped turning'. Powerful stuff. love your sweet face.
45 years married with my sweetheart. This song resonates with me.
The woman he dances with is his wife. He wrote this song about their life together. He wrote almost all of his own songs. A true artist!
I have multiple sclerosis so I really relate to what Alan is going through with a neurological disorder. Prayers for him and his family.
@@kelseyreed1315 Thank you ❤
No need to apologize when you did. Your emotions are honest and a lot of people watching agree wholeheartedly.
This song really is a weeper for sure. My man & I were married at 16 & 18, had our 61st anniversary in April. We're really starting to realize that time passes faster with each year that goes by. Now, it sure is flying! We've been very happy, & blessed with two great kids also. Have had many wonderful years, with a few inevitable heartbreaks along the way.

I’ve been married 50 years. This song makes me and my wife cry every time we listen to it. A beautiful song for our memories.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this dude. His reactions are raw and real. You can tell this song got to him
That's his wife in the video. What a perfect song for a vow renewal or anniversary celebration.
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful love song…..
Jackson is a LEGEND!!!
This song still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. It says so much about a marriage, life, and growing older together. Simply beautiful!
this songs gives me a lump in my throat everytime. makes me examine my life and all the blessings i have.
Your smile is so infectious, makes me happy just watching that smile
As I've gotten older this song means more and more to me. The part that hits me harder is when he says remember when 30 seemed so old. I wish I could go back 15 years and do it all again knowing what I know now.

This song is heartbreaking, and heart renewing EVERY time!!!! ..... been there, done that, after 35 + years...... and 3 grandchildren later...... my heart STILL breaks when I hear this 😢😭❣️❣️
Loved your comments. Your tenderness was showing. "When you do it right, it turns into century after century."
I once had a love like that for 26yrs. It's hard to move on from, cherish it if you're lucky enough to have it.
I wish I could like this all over again. Love your reaction and I love Alan Jackson
A.J. will get you right in the feels.
Alan Jackson had Van F up. That song takes breath away it's real everything is real. Pure Love is true and real. Our father has shown that the key to life is Love

That is a beautiful song by ALAN JACKSON
Been married 32 years, this song is awesome!! It takes work, and it's worth it!
thank you...I have so many remember whens..we almost made it to 50 years. I have to go the rest of the way alone...I cried all the way through it but I would do it all over again!! ☺♥
Alan and his wife are high school sweethearts
Thank you for doing this song. It is very special to me. My hubby and I had 51 loving years before he passed away. And this song reminds me of all of them.

This is definitely one of the best love songs ever written. Thank you for a glimpse into your own life, that was nice.
This one’s gonna get you, fam. AJ’s got a way to drilling right down to your heart. ❤️❤️❤️
You should play this song to your wife and if she is ok with being on camera, do a reaction or not. Either way, with your love story….you’ve got to play it to her!!! Great reaction ❤️

Van remember that so many of these country artists not only perform their songs but so many of them wrote that song and many more.
I do believe this song i s the best of country music. The memories just overwhelm you. If there is something that fits the word" Poignant" it has to be this beautiful song, the best of Alan Jackson. You ate right the perfect love song !

Your face is showing that you are "remembering when. Sweet memories
Best storyteller with his music, in my opinion. Love him.
One of the most beautiful songs ever ♥️
This song is the perfect love song because he talks about the pain and hurt they caused each other along with the love and joy!!! And through it all they loved each other enough to work it out!!! The songs that talk about love as if it is always perfect always feel unrealistic to me!!
You’re reaction is from one who knows….who really knows…..right there with you brother! God bless you and your family.
You need more Alan in your life! A true storyteller and family man!!
Wish I could like this reaction a million times 💙💙💙
What a beautiful reaction. Your face said it all, such love. Made my eyes leak.❤
Alan Jackson has a lot of great songs but this has got to be my favorite I hope him the best
Your reaction is priceless my man.. You could just see the memories floating through your mind as the song went on.. Peace and One Love..
So perfect.
March 14th 2022 I watched the reaction video again the joy on your face and the love in your eyes says it all you're a good man keep doing what you're doing.. always remember when
hey, you can't be stopping the flow of the song just because you feel them tears about to start coming out ;-)
Your face tells the truth for us all. We do remember when.
Ain't no man on earth can tell a more honest story than an older man who's lived it.
Aye man, i know you’ll probably never see this… but your openness to different sounds & vulnerability of emotion you display from connecting to it all for yourself but also for your following is very commendable. My favorite out there right now. Thank you. Tis’ a beacon of hope. One love.

Such a beautiful song...so many memories and truths. I think it speaks to all of us and Alan Jackson was blessed with a golden voice. Didn't know he was going thru hard times. Prayers.
Degenerative nerve disease. He told about it on, "Good Morning America", Sept. 29th, I think. You can probably find clips. 😪
I'm 60 yrs old and I remember when that song came out and my tears STILL flow everytime I hear it ❤
a beautiful love story about his own family, that's a great thing about country music, its telling a story. Got you in the feels didn't it
Was our song at our wedding 26 years ago yesterday. Going to surprise my wife tonight by trying to sing this at a karaoke bar here in Aruba. I highly doubt I can get through it without welling up and becoming a mess. But Im going to do my damndest!
Loved watching your reaction to this song. Your face says it all.
You are the sweetest! I could see your face and the love you share with your wife. Nothing better! ❤✌
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. 🤠
This one gets me every time...perfect.
this song was played at my great grandpas funeral i cant listen to it without crying. i miss him everyday
This song I'm so glad so many can relate. There are some of us who can't and never will be able to for times has long past. But nothing is more beautiful that the story of young love who grew old together
I've watched hundreds of your reactions, and this is my favorite video you have ever done.
Talking about meeting your wife at 15 your eyes got all soft and the love glowed.
That's the look of a soul mate. I know that look because it was in my husband's eyes for 31 years. Not nearly long enough. Lord knows how I miss that man.
This song is his song to his wife. The beautiful blond with her head on his chest is his wife.
Alan Jackson gets me every time. Makes me think of my parents and grandparents and all the things they went through. And the only thing we can do is enjoy the time we have left.
Your truthful and thoughtful reaction has made me subscribe to your channel. I’m 66/67 and my wife and I both had bad divorces but have been married to each other for 32 years now and have raised 4 children and we both were worried that when the kids left what would we have? We found the love that started it all and have become closer and deeper than ever. Cherish your children but find the love that started it all for the both of you and enjoy as the years get shorter. My wife and I know that my time is closer than we both want. Love to you and yours.
This is your best reaction yet.
It looks like he connected with you and read your mail....thank you for sharing
That video will be a keepsake memory for both of them .
That’s his wife he is dancing with. Such a beautiful tribute to their life together.
I know how you feel Van. Your children are your legacy and you want them with you forever.
No that is a true reaction with actual thoughts going through his mind when he heard the lyrics
This has got to be one of the best reactions ever and congratulations on your marriage...no easy feat these days.
I simply love your reaction to this video. Watching you think of your wife and family in such a precious way brings tears to my eyes. I have always loved this song and I'm glad you like it,too. ❤️❤️
I watched this with a lump in my throat holding back the tears. Wow Van just discovered you a few days ago coming across your listen to “Am I the Only One” and I’m hooked. I like you so much! There is such a sweetness about you and it’s so obvious, you just get it. You understand what’s important in life and every time I watch you remind me of it.
Alan is one of my all time favorite artists. He writes his own lyrics using his own own life as inspiration. There is a documentary on him. You definitely need to see it!!!
👏🤯thank you for your love of the wife 👏👏🔥 23 years love it 🥰
My father told me when you see or hear something beautiful no one has to explain it to you....... you just know it.......
I love this song and I loved your reaction. Thank you Van. Bless you and your family❤️
One of the best reactions of this song I have ever seen!!!....you can tell you truly love your wife!!!....listen to Kenny Rodgers "Lady",the live version in concert!!!....it was written and produced by Lionel Richie!!!
It doesn’t get better than this. 🔥💗😌
Some songs are special and don't really need anything more but to listen and let it work it's magic on you. Peace!
