    My personal guess, I believe that God gives him the strength to sing it so that others in the same situation know that they're not alone.

      Jerri, I believe you are right. Only Heavenly Father can give him the strength to sing this song. I watched this video over and over. Every time I start tearing up right before he starts to sing. Personally, I could feel his pain by watching his body language. He performs this song, I believe, to help other parents out there who’ve had to bury their child. No parent should ever have to bury their own child. I can’t even begin to imagine his pain.

      I agree I think God gave him this song to help others. I know sometimes we don't always understand the reason why, God has a reason for things happening . I once got turned down for a job about a year later the job got phased out . I would have left my job . All we can do is lean to God's understanding. Much love to all...

    He has said that he walked off that stage and Ricky Skaggs was telling what a good song it was. Craig told him that he was glad he had heard it because he wouldn't sing it again. Ricky told him he HAD to sing it...people NEEDED to hear it. Blake Shelton campaigned to get it to the top of the Billboard charts.

It’s just like against the laws of the world. To be able to continue on makes you one of the strongest people in my book.

    I've listened to this song so many times and it still gets me teary eyed. That was the first time he performed it, and after he said it was going to be the only time. But both fans and other artists started tell him how much the song meant to them, and how much it helped with their personal grief.
    I lost my cousin 4 1/2 years ago to a disease a lot of people haven't even heard of, Cystic Fibrosis. She was 23, an Army wife, my best friend, and she was 7 days shy of the 2 year anniversary of her double lung transplant. Her husband, is an Army Airborne Ranger but was on compassionate reassignment so he could be home as her health declined leading up to her transplant. Prior to that he was stated in Hawaii so without being reassigned to the Army base here there is no way he could have made it home prior to her going into surgery. All of that back story to say that the Army was incredible to him and to our family during that time. There were 4-5 higher ups of his that came to visit her every time she was in the hospital, and they (plus a few more) came to her service in their dress blues. Still gives me chills. I always lovingly say that he and his brother belong to us, whether they like it or not. :)
    As always, great video and sending virtual hugs from Oklahoma!

    I can hardly listen to this song so I can't imagine how he made it through the performance. My 18 year old son was in a head on collision and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. Eight years later he remains in a state of minimal consciousness, a kind of limbo land between coma and alert. I'm his primary caregiver and the lyric "he's not here but he's not really gone" resonates so deep in my soul. Don, thank you for this song. Surprisingly it helps to remember that day by day my son and I have both grown stronger.

    Losing a child creates an unimaginable void by those who haven't experienced that kind of loss. I can't stop and think about it or it tears me apart. I was always proud of my son and did all that I could to raise him and be there for him. There were times we were inseparable. Then something changed. I don't know why or when, but it did. That's when my son turned away from me and refused to speak to me. No matter how hard it was or what was happening, I always tried to keep in touch with him. Then silence unlike any I had known before. Nothing. Circumstances keeps us an ocean apart now. He is in the USA and I am in Europe. No matter how much time goes by, I have never stopped loving him and never will. My heart aches to hear the pain in Craig's voice for the loss of his son. My heart aches for the return of my own. Some days it's hard to imagine which is worse but I keep believing and praying for us to be together once again. But The DonFather is right....no parent should ever have to bury a child.

As he left the stage the next performer told him what an awesome song and Mr Morgan replied that was probably going to be the only time he ever sang it in public. The other performer told him no man you got to record that and sing it whenever you can. I cry every time I hear the song.

    Another great song is by country singer Cole Swindell. You should be here. The official music video. His number one fan was his dad. He died just before Cole signed his first record deal. Cole wrote the song, they filmed the video, the end of which was at the Cemetery. It was the first time he'd been to the Cemetery since his dad passed. For me this one is gut wrenching. The first time I heard the song was at 0920 23 February 2016. I had just left the hospital for the first time in a week, my dad had passed after a 16 year battle with cancer. I was exhausted, and ready to go. Got in my car and this song came on, it took another half hour before I could drive. Now the song reminds me of the times he was there, and still is.

    My brother died in 2017, and the grief is unimaginable. Watching my parents grieve their child, loosing my own connection to my past and future, and seeing his children grow up without a father.....it’s a loss that people just can’t imagine. I’ve no doubt that clinging to God has saved me through this loss.

    Please review, "Tell My Father" arranged by Andrea Ramsey. It's meant to be the last words of a Union soldier in the American Civil War. Many of them were just boys. Two million of them fought to end slavery and on the side of the North 360,000 of them died. Tell My Father is an exceptionally beautiful and moving tribute. Thank you for ALL your reviews. I love your channel.

    So you have the clarity to the back story behind this song, Craig Morgan had a 19-year-old son. While his son was home on break from college, he went tubing and drowned. Craig wrote this song just to try and process the loss and you see the final product here. What is more interesting is he has apologized to his fans in advance he doesn't do this song at all his shows as he said it takes every ounce of energy to get through the song, therefore you're lucky to hear it live. An example of this was his appearance on the Kelly Clarkson show. He did the song (watch him closely at the end-you can see/feel his pain is overwhelming), he finished the song, and after walking off set reportedly had a complete breakdown. You can see it coming on in his performance. God bless him and all your other commenters for their losses.
    But I really liked his own explanation: ruclips.net/video/Wxg8DH_fYDo/видео.html&ab_channel=DelDunbar

    His Faith has given him strength. I wish I had that kind of belief. My husband and I saw him at the Opry a few days before his son’s drowning accident. His son was there and he embarrassed him by calling him out on stage. You could see the love between them. He wasn’t going to do this song publicly, but he was convinced to do it to honor his son’s memory and to honor other’s who’ve gone through the same.

    This song means everything to me. My daughter, was on her way to work-when a car came into Stacy’s lane , hitting driver side to driver side, then flipping Stacy’s car. She was beautiful, inside and out, she had her future already lined up. She was 23, there’s times I just don’t understand. Stacy Elaine Baxter ~ 1981 ~ 2004. 5 months before Stacy died, I lost my mom.
