I think you missed the fact that he was singing about home BEFORE he went to his execution!!😲
I didn't realize it was an execution. I thought he was dying and then it was his funeral. My mom always loved this song.
They both missed it!
They missed the message all together. I hope they will comment about this in their next video.
@bonniespruin6369 sad old Padre. We'll walk at daybreak. Yeah he was hung.
Execution? I thought it was just that he was in prison. Life sentence and won’t get out until he dies.
You didn't hear it. He was going to be executed at day break. He was going to be underneath the green grass.
Yes, the pleasant melody and vocal takes you off guard, so you don't realize (until you consider the lyrics) that this song is about a dream of memories just before his death.
That late 60s/early 70s era had a few hit songs with a twist in the tail in their lyrics,and this one was a classic example.
@@rjjcms1Lola for example :-)
His on death row!
Yep They missed it, you can't beat British irony
He was dreaming of home from prison cell and he went home in a box after his execution. Buried under the oak tree. Nothing to do with church or country music. 😳
I'm surprised they missed that. Amber usually catches the lyrics and we see when she gets it.
Well, half right. It *is* a country song and was a huge hit on the country charts when first released by Porter Wagner, I think. But you are right, that this not a “church” song. But is a very sad ain’t about a man about to die by execution in prison. It is not a song about nostalgia, but a tragedy.
He was executed!
Sorry to say this but you Americans do not understand music. Awesome tune yeah!! No idea of what the song is about. Not just this song but really lots of other songs. You are so naive
😅Even a school child gets the ending ZZZ four walls that surround me, I was only dreaming.... he was in jail waiting to be executed are you thick are what?
He wakes up to the 4 gray walls that (now) surround him and realizes his memories were a dream. "For there's a guard, and a sad old heartbreak. On and on I'll walk at daybreak. . ." Is about a convicted man knowing he'll die at daybreak because of that sad old heartbreak. He remembers home and how it was, but he's not going to actually see it, only be sent back home to be buried under that old oak tree at his funeral. A lot of reactors miss that too.
I am not sure but it isn't "heartbreak" but sad old padre.
A follow on from Delilah.
How could they not put 2 and 2 together? A guard and a sad old padre. Usually Amber pays attention to the words.
Hi. Wasn't he saying "sad old padre" as in the usual guard and clergy walking him to his execution." ? Hmm I'll have to google that!
@@bryanwhitton1784 Could be. Going from memory. I remember taking my mom to see him in Iowa back in the day. We never missed his TV show. Either way, he's not going alive.
I am surprised you did not take note of the dark turn of the song. The fact that he was in prison and being executed.
I don’t think you were listening to the lyrics at the end. He was actually on death row in a prison and put to death and then laid beneath the green green grass of home.
Comprehending that would require them to have.....comprehension.
They thought He Stopped Loving Her Today because he just got over her.
@@dgpatter I was wondering about that song and if they missed the point as well.
The song spells out the story. Not hard to understand what is going to happen.
As they say " if you know you know". They didn't know.
You really have to listen to the story in this song or you'll miss the true story of a death row inmate going home in his dreams! It also hit hard with Vietnam Veterans as it came out during the height of the war and a lot never came home except in their dreams!
One of Tom's big hits from the 60's , a fine ballad showcasing his voice. Yes his very first hit and No1 in the UK 'It's not unusual' is a great song.
'It's Not Unusual' was written for Sandy Shaw but she turned it down, so it was given to Tom Jones instead.
@@CrankCase08 Interested to hear that,maybe it was more suited to Tom
I went to a Tom Jones concert years ago at Chastain Park in Atlanta. BEST CONCERT EVER!!!! He hit that stage and did not stop. Amazing performer.
Me too. Saw him in a very small old movie house in Easton PA, very intimate. WOW! we were just feet away! He was seventy at the time and still dead sexy!!!!!!! I wanted to marry him when I grew up! haha
@@KrisChanteuse My son was at this concert, he was 10/11 at the time. Tom started singing She’s a Lady. Jacob looks at us and says “The panties will fly”.
google Sir Tom Jones_Bethzienna Williams' 'cry to me'_ blind audition_The Voices UK 2019, there is longer version of it
I left Atlanta 10 years ago to go out to Wyoming. The only thing I miss is Chastain Park concerts with the Atlanta Synphony playing.
The way they sway and smile to a man singing about going to his death. Amusing.
Putting out 3 videos a day they miss a lot, not long ago they commented on McCartney solo singing Helter Skelter, thinking it was the Beatles version.
@@Rick-m4w I think we've all missed stuff in songs on first listens, and most of us don't do our listening on-camera with tens of thousands of people watching us with bated breath, waiting for us to react satisfactorily to a favorite bit. Heck, there are songs I listened to for years before I realized what they were actually singing about. It happens. Given how much J&A do get in songs -- especially given that 2-ish years ago, they couldn't have told you who any of these people were and hadn't heard most of these genres let alone songs -- I think people in the comments here could chill and cut them a little slack.
Also, it's worth remembering that these folks have full-time jobs, are parents to three young children (including a toddler), have actual, normal lives around all that, and still make time to record and upload three videos a day that we get to watch for free. The fact that they've kept up this schedule for nearly 3 years is actually pretty impressive. If they very occasionally miss a song or pick the wrong video, is it really that big a deal?
Anything Tom Jones is outstanding.
But you realize he was in jail and the walk to death and buried under the old oak tree.
Comprehending that would require them to have.....comprehension.
@@davidlionheart2438 Plus, as far as I can tell, they never even look at our comments!
Curly Putman wrote this song. Another well known song of his that you guys have reacted to is "He Stopped Loving Her Today". Here's more about the meaning of this song that may have been missed:
"The song is about a man who returns home after a long time and is welcomed by his family and friends. However, the final verse reveals that the man is actually in prison on death row and daydreaming about his homecoming. The song's final line, “Yes, they'll all come to see me, In the shade of that old oak tree, As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home” refers to the man's burial in his hometown after his execution."
Guys, I don’t think you truly caught the meaning of the lyrics at the end. He was a prisoner about to be executed the next morning at daybreak: “there’s a guard and a sad old padre. Arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak…”
His cover of Prince’s hit KISS is killer!
He definitely makes it his own!!!
''i think i better dance now.''
It sucks, I prefer Prince
It's a collaboration with Art of Noise, give credit where it's due
I'm surprised Amber didn't get it. "Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak and again I'll touch the green green grass of home". He's getting executed. "..Lay me, neath the green green grass of home".
I am always curious on how long it takes the listener to realize the true story. Great song and Tom Jones owns it.
Prison execution song. 😉
Obviously longer than this video. They didn't get it.
@@JasonWicklund 😁
It took me a long time…
@@Jen-in-Texas That is part of the fun of it. Great song. A bit of a mystery until the end.
And even then its a bit vague.
I can’t believe you guys missed the message in this song, the last few lines tells it all
This is actually about a prisoner on death row. Dreaming aboout home before his execution in the morning. Not too many reactors get the meaning of this song (I think I saw one video where they understood what the song was about).
Later, the powers that be, forbid the ending of the song about the last walk to dawn to be sung, so the lyrics were changed 😡
I've watched at least 10 reactions to this and every single one got it.
@@TruthIsNotTemporary not true. He still sings it.
@@TruthIsNotTemporaryno the lyrics weren't changed.
Beautiful song sung by The Great Legend Tom Jones
A song with a twist in the tale.....
The 60's had so many great pop artists that came on the scene. You should check out Gary Puckett & The Union Gap. A very popular group that had many hits in the late 60's. Check out their song, "Lady Willpower." This is a group that is equally enjoyable live as they are in stereo. 💯👍
The song is about a prisoner facing the hanging tree that dreams of home and walks out with a padre to face the rope and then be laid under that old oak tree at home...
He has a great version of "You Can Leave Your Hat On", Pure Gold!
You missed the point on this one -- the song is about a man who is about to be taken to the gallows to be executed. (To be fair to you guys, the verse where he sang that part was overshadowed by the background singers). In the last verse he talks about how he'll be laid to rest under the old oak tree. Very sad song.
Almost our second national anthem here in Wales .
“For there’s a guard and a sad old Padre..arm in arm will walk at daybreak.”
The irony is that he was dreaming of being home, but he’s being executed so his trip home will be for his funeral ‘neath the shade of hte old oak tree.
"in the shade of the ole oak tree as they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home." Yah, execution and burial. Typical country song of the late 60s and early 70s.
He was executed. And then he was buried beneath the green green grass of home.
Great choice. Great song. Great singer.
First two thirds of the song he tells what he is dreaming, the key is when he says, then I wake and look around me.
The plot twist blew right past...
I loved watching the Tom Jones show 1969-71 my high school years, he was one of my favorite variety shows, I wish they had more shows like his. ❤Tom ❤Jay & Amber Peace✌️ and Love ❤️ Gary
This sure is a sad one ..
great voice, story song ..
Love Tom! This song is so sad! Great pick!
Amber this is an old country song written by Porter Waggoner ,in which the man is about to be executed but dreams of home the night before.Afterwards he is really home at his funeral buried underneath the oak tree. You guys missed it completely.
I was wondering if anyone was going to give Porter Wagoner credit for this, and quite frankly, I like Porter's version much better.
Written by Curly Putman, not Porter
Porter Wagoner was the first to have a hit with the song, but it was written by Curly Putnam Jnr. The best version is by Jerry Lee Lewis, and I say that as a loyal Tom Jones fan.
Most people don't understand Green Green Grass of home is about a death row inmate being executed
Actually if you just listen and have common sense it's pretty easy to understand.
I have to disagree with you. I believe most people understand the song completely. It's all spelled out in the song.
er no.. MOST people understand it perfectly.
No most people understand it. They didn't but most do.
Did you realize he was being executed? He was dreaming about home in prison before the guard and padre come to walk him to the gas chamber or electric chair. Then he will be laid beneath the green, green grass of home.
My mom's favorite Tom Jones song. It always brings a tear to my eye. She passed far too soon.
simply one of the greatest singers whos ever walked the earth lol
You got a surprise coming
..lol
You paused at the perfect moment but missed the point after resuming. The 4 grey walls that surround him was his prison cell and the guard ans sad old padre will walk arm and arm to his exicution
I been to two Tom Jones concerts and they were absolutely Great.
Sir Tom Jones! His voice sounds so rich in this song 💝 The song he performed with Janis is Raise Your Hands
Jay & Amber, you'll love his Big Hit "Its Not Unusual" !!!!
Some British people thought of Tom as 'our Elvis' and you could well imagine Elvis singing this song.
He did actually.
I haven't heard this song since the 60's. It is so good!
First time I EVER heard him. I never ever knew WHO "Him" was. Oh I used to cry as a teenager! He was going out to be strung up or shot. His body would rest beneath his old friend- the tree he grew up with and his loved ones that are still alive.
aye, it's a powerful song. defo needs listening to again
Not only is this my favorite Tom Jones song but in my top 5 favorite songs of all time.
My oldest sister had it SO bad for Tom Jones way back when. We teased her endlessly about it. We were so mean to her! haha.
One of the best slow, sad songs of all-time!
A wonderful song with a twist in the tale...as his character in the song is actually about to be hanged.."There's a guard and a sad old padre" A classic song sung by a singer who is gold standard...
The unofficial trilogy Never fall in love then Delilah ending in The Green Green Grass of Home
Tom always gives me goosebumps
Sir Tom Jones (among another couple of giants with one being the great Irma Thomas, who'd unfortunately pared a few years ago.) was featured in a special that was with Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) on Hugh's trip to New Orleans for the first time on a music journey. (Quite literally) It was a public television fund-raising event. DEFINITELY check it out. It's about an hour long, and you're left wanting more when it ends. (I've probably watched it 5 times in it's completion, and countless clip views.)
Well......seen Tom Jones Sunday. 84 yrs and has the same fabulous voice. God given.
This is more of a Funeral Dirge, He's waiting to walk the last mile.
Y'all got me crying. This is my childhood right here.😢
Getting executed?
Yes Amber, you were on to something! You nailed it. Both are known for their versatility.
If you want the very best of Tom Jones…. When his wife was dying she made him
Promise to not crumble when she’s gone. The song is “I won’t Crumble “ have your tissues !
Like Tom was ever going to crumble!
Amber always has such a great reaction when she discovers the hidden, true nature of some songs --- but this time she completely missed it. Fangirling over Tom Jones can cause even the most astute female to miss out on what is passing by her at the time. 🤣🤣
I think you guys missed the twist, the four walls were a jail cell and the sad old padre was leading him to oak tree were he was to be hanged then buried beneath the green green grass of home. Im shocked Amber missed this 🤣❤️
When it comes to understandin some songs, it's like you're on another planet😂
mama always said listenin to boy Jay was like a box o chocolates....
ya never know what ya gonna get😂
Last time I heard this song, it was playing at my father's funeral over 25 years ago. He loved Tom Jones.
Always makes me cry. He was right about the green grass, though. I thought the Irish were exaggerating before I saw it for myself. Home, grass or no, has meaning, and memories.
Tom Jones is amazing. I know you have done Engelbert Humperdinck before but he is also amazing wish you would venture down that road again. I do love your reactions especially to older songs. ❤❤
This WAS a country hit first made popular by Porter Wagoner but covered by a lot of singers. Back in the 60s a lot of pop singers would take a country hit and cover it as pop music such as "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" which was a country hit for Mel Tillis, spoofed by the Geezinslaws in "Chubby, Please Take Your Love to Town, and then made into a pop hit by Kenny Rogers.
The version by Jerry Lee Lewis is the one for me.
@@cliffwheeler7357 Charley Pride's is my favorite cover, but I'd listen to him sing my auto manual so that's only to be expected.
The twist was right where you stopped it. Listen again. Also, I think Tom's live performance of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" is his most impressive.
I believe Porter Wagner had a hit with this song. This song is oft-covered, but Tom Jones’ version is my favorite. Tom Jones has dabbled quite a bit in country, and he really does embody the songs.
Just in case the plot was missed, we slowly find out that the narrator is reminiscing because he is in prison, on death row, and soon to be buried in that “green, green grass of home” where people can visit him.
The song was written by Curly Putnam Jnr. Porter Wagoner (not Wagner) had a number 4 hit with it, but he definitely did not write it.
@@cliffwheeler7357 Thank you for the correction. Porter wrote his fair share but, it seems, this was not one of them. Let the record be corrected.
Written by Nashville songwriter Curly Putman, the words to Green, Green, Grass of Home tell the tale of a condemned prisoner who is longing to escape to the green, green grass of home. At the end of the song, it was revealed that the man is facing execution, and he will be coming home only to be buried.
This was one of my Mother's fave songs, we played it at her funeral. Still gets me.
It's nice hearing another rendition of this song. The version of this song I have on my play list Elvis sung.
You have never done I’ll never fall in love again aged 27 it’s a must! Also the 80th anniversary d day… I know he’s speaking about him walking his last walk to his death but the way you interpreted it is the way a lot of people interpret it, just a beautiful song sang by the Great Sir Tom Jones 👍🏻😁🏴
Yes, death row inmate, reminiscing, bc he will be beneath the green, green grass of home. A sad song. 😢 but he does it beautifully.
You both will love the song “The Bed”. By Sir Tom Jones.
You didn’t get the fact he’s in prison dreaming about his home and ‘they’ll lay me beneath that old oak tree’
Love you guys, you are both so smart,and fun to hang out with..it's like being in the same room.I've loved music all my life,and i use to play my 45's records on my little box record player Michael Jackson albums were my favorite ones. I have a pick for you guys.His name is Elvis Presley he didnt come from a rich family.the song is"geto"...hope you all like it.❤😂❤😂❤Make sure you have keenex.
... 🎷🎶🎹 Thanks to you both!!!! Jay❤Amber...❤
This song has been covered by a lot of people since the mid 60's. It was primarily a Country song and I think I heard it first by Merle Haggard. Tom Jones probably sold it the most over a couple of different genres and charts. I think you guys missed that he awoke to Four Gray Walls that surround me, and realizes he was only dreaming. There's a Guard and a sad old Padre', and they'll walk at Daybreak. Sometimes you have to listen to the song and the tone of the lyrics to understand, he is in prison and facing his execution. Then..... as they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home.
Tom be swinging in the breeze 😂😂😂⏰⏰
Suggest more of his collaborations. In particular, "My Yiddishe Mama" with John Farnham on the Aussie show, "Hey Hey, It's Saturday"; "A Man's World" with Jennifer Hudson on the British "The Voice"; and a medley with Jerry Lee Lewis on Tom's tv show in the 60s. Enjoy!
Female Friday Roberta Flack...Killing Me Softly With His Song and First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
As everyone else has said, this song is about an execution. But it's also become something of an anthem in Wales (where Tom Jones is from), as Wales is known as being a very green and beautiful country. Every homesick Welsh person knows this song!
My absolute favorite Tom Jones song is She's a Lady.
Love this song. He's talking about his burial
"Then I awoke and looked around me, at the four gray walls that surround me". He was in prison on death row. This was the morning of his execution. Beautiful, but sad, song.
Tom Jones song i love is Without Love I Have Nothing at All
Can’t wait for the turn
You must LISTEN TO (KISS) TOM SUNG THIS ON A REBOOT OF HIS CAREER , song written by THE WONDERFUL( PRINCE ) RIP.
I think his Welch accent fooled you in the soliloquy before the last verse. The lines are "awake and look around me, at 4 gray walls that surround me, and I realize I was only dreaming. There's a guard, and a sad old padre" who will walk him to his execution, then he will be laid beneath the green green grass of home.
To be fair to J&A, Tom's accent in the spoken word section makes it almost sound like he's saying "There's a god and a sad, old padre" instead of "there's a guard and a sad, old padre," so I can understand how people might miss the twist on a first listen and not realize that he's in prison and soon to be executed. If you miss the "guard" context -- especially if you heard "god" instead -- I can see how it would be easy to misinterpret the rest as simply being about a man who's dreaming of home, nostalgic for home, and planning to be buried under his favorite tree from childhood when he (eventually, possibly many years from now) passes away. I mean, the language used in the lyrics *insinuates* what's going on with context clues but doesn't necessarily say it straight-out enough to correct mishearing the beginning. And it probably didn't help the interpretation that they were already hearing it as church-ish music, which would just reinforce the idea that he said "god" and is talking about something sweet, spiritual, and nostalgic.
And you know what? It happens. Heck, there are songs that I listened to for years before I realized what was actually being sung about. It happens to us all. The difference is that most of us aren't listening to songs for the first time on-camera, in front of tens of thousands of people all waiting with bated breath for us to react satisfactorily to their favorite bit.
So, while I get the disappointment at not getting a reaction to the twist in the song -- and, let's be real, that's the part we were all waiting for with this one -- I think some of the people in these comments could maybe chill a little and cut these folks some slack.
Didn't you listen??? He was in prison and they hanged him. How could you have missed the whole point of the song???
It's Jay and Amber. How can you be surprised they didn't understand anything about it?
Kids have no clue who the sad old Padre is. It's a trope that has been lost. I have yet to see a reactor get this. Much like "He Stopped Loving Her Today" goes over everyone's heads. Same songwriter, by the way.
@curtismartin2866 this is the first reactor I've seen that DIDN'T get it.
@@rebeccasimmers3107 wow!
@@davidlionheart2438that was unnecessary. Why do you follow them if you're just gonna belittle them?
Well, I didn’t know that Tom Jones ever sang this song. I think the original might have been Porter Wagoner, and he was a country singer. And yes, he was executed in the song.
You missed the mark on this one guys, he's being killed in the morning, he's in prison. That being said this is my favorite cover of this song.
One of Tom's best songs, but don't miss out on "Help Yourself" and a much more recent one called "Tower Of Song"
Your first Tom Jones song was "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" which Tom actually commented on, but which sadly is no longer on your channel.
this song reminds me of my grandparents, heard this at least 10 times.
That one went right over there heads
I love watching these two
It’s comedy gold
How little the younger generation knows about good music
But they are learning
Another good one was I'll Never Love Again. He's amazing with that one.😊
This came out when I was a tiny tiny girl. Like 3 years old. But I remember this song!!
He was dreaming of home just before he was to executed in jail, Classic and a real Great song , Tom Jones is the Best.
