I’m 51 years old. This wouldn’t have been an unusual friendship back in the day. Especially in small town America. People are people and neighbors are neighbors. That’s the world I grew up in.
It's not that unusual now. I was 45 when my wife got cancer and died 5 years later. The most wonderful, Godly, elderly black woman (I'm so white I'm almost blue) friend across the street was the best friend I could have ever asked for.
I saw a old black man every morning at the bus stop going to school. He told me that my life was mine and it was up to me how I lived it. I'll never forget him. I'm 52 now, and I'll always be grateful to him.
@wendyparker1986 Same. Back then, things were seemingly getting better racially. Not ideal by any means but certainly making a turn for the better. I hate how we've taken so many steps backwards. I just don't understand how this happened.
Can I just say; I'm a 55 YO white man and not one day in my life was it frowned upon to be friends or even date outside my race. I know that it sometimes seems that the racial divide was always horrible. Truth be told we were solving problems and coming together until those who made big bucks to push racial division got so good at their jobs.
I'm only 35 sir and I'd heard this song as a 4 year old id listened to for the first time when my papa passed as a kid when I was 6 I hadn't listened to it until just two days ago I started thinking about my papa I got to say it broke me to my core
Firstly, you look absolutely beautiful. I love your country reactions. It's wonderful to watch a young person feel the story. As you get older...like me...faith is what will help you navigate this crazy world we live in. Stay true to yourself. Sending you blessings, peace and good vibes. Xo
I was sitting on the back porch with my Dad the first time I heard this song. He told me that this song brought him cold chills and he loved it. Less than a year later my father passed away from cancer. This was the song I chose to be played at his funeral.
A strong bond with a older man as A boy is very important especially if he is a good man. Great song great reaction, country is not my fav music but a song like this makes me stop and listen.
This is probably the best faith based song that I have ever listened to. Hats off to Brooks and Dunn for blessing us with these words. It is an absolutely positively amazing story and song. So thank you for sharing with us.
The first time I saw this I cried, their friendship is something the boy will have with him forever. I know this is a true story. The guy singing was the little boy🙏
I’m 72 YO white man and when I was a baby of 3-6 my mom and dad both worked and we had a black lady as a maid and l loved her so much when we heard that she had passed l cried for days even though I was 37 I served in Vietnam in the Marines and black people l served with were my brothers. I despise prejudice people no matter what color
The true story of Ronnies childhood...Old man Wrigley is now with his wife and baby...the song is powerful on its own...but watching it in video brings everything home...one of my top ten all time favorite videos. Great reaction and keep watchin!!
Can't see the forest because of the trees.. type of reaction. There's a lot more to the truth then many young people consider and RESPECT! Songs such as this REQUIRES people to do soul searching for a heartfelt connection that makes sense! Loved the reaction.... please do more! peace
I've been very fortunate as I have had several of those people in my life over the years-in fact thinking about it, there have been many, -find a few,they are out there-the stories, and wisdom they can impart is amazing,it's the quiet and thoughtful ones you need, not the loud, and brash as life taught them long ago that the more you learn, the more you know how much you yet need to learn. We are all issued our ticket to the other side, and it gets punched at birth, the adventure is seeing where the journey will lead, and what we will learn along the way-every day we are granted on the way can be a blessing, but it's up to us to make it so-I think from what I see here you will have a great trip !
Yes I realized that the setting for the video was probably before I the 2000s and immediately found their relationship strange but beautiful because they looked past what some at that time didn’t
@@itsratedruth7331 Things were very different back then but in a different way than you are thinking. Things weren't so interconnected and news and other things weren't instant. The instant gratification of today's society wasn't there back then. People also got along better, overall, back then compared to today. Social Media and instant gratification has really made things far worse.
This song reminds me of my "Mr. Wriggly", His name was Mr. Levi, he worked on my great grandparent's land as a sharecropper as a young man, raising cattle and farming and taking care of it as it was his own because it was. When my great grand parents died they left the majority of it to his family. He lived to be about 96, outlasting my great grandparents and grandparents. He was like a great grandfather to me, always one of the smartest and funniest and wise people I ever knew. I still miss spending time with him fishing my pond and picking his brain, talking about nothing, and everything.
I grew up in the deep south. Race wasn't a conversation. I ate, lived, worked with many races without a second thought. I was equally welcomed in their homes as well. It's today's culture bringing back racism. I still talk to all my childhood friends and shake our heads about the "powers that be" tying to divide the country with lies and subterfuge. We are ALL God's children, equally.
I grew up in the south of Texas. As a child I experienced racism that at the time I didn’t even realize was racism. I was unintentionally ignorant but have learned that racism did exist heavily in the south during the 20th century up until now. However now that I’m mature I have decided to not let one time experiences over shadow my feelings on an entire race or ethnicity.
I want to tell you about my friend Mr. Roberts, "a black man" who passed away when I was very young, perhaps 8. He owned the big farm house and rental cottages at the end the road that I grew up on, in a tourist town in OOB, Maine. We were a big family. He was always so kind to us and loved us children coming around to bother him. My great-grandparents , grandparents and Mr. Roberts were friends. My grandparents told me they had been friends with Louis Armstrong. My grandfather also said he knew other famous people like Bette Davis. (all of this happened around WW II). As far as I know, Mr. Armstrong stayed at Mr. Robert's rental cottages when he played at the venues near where we lived My grandfather told me he, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Armstrong went to bars that would have them many times to have beers and play cards. I swear I am telling you what everyone I know said is true. I never met Louis Armstrong or Bette Davis to ask them about it. being only 60
I have a family friend this is much like this old man hes an old korean war veteran. i know he doesnt have long left and this song makes me think time is so much more precious than people realize.
@@timcarr6401 Yes he was he was shipped to Korea while his brother was shipped to vietnam. His name is Ronnie Rice I honestly dont know how old he is i know hes been an old man for the 28 years that ive known him. Your right i might have the facts messed up as him being in the war but he was stationed in Korea In the late 50's around the end of the korean conflict yes we officially stopped the war in 53 but we still had military prescence in the area But I dont need you to tell me my old friend is not a veteran that he surely is.
I have always LOVED hanging out with elderly people. They are just..... idk. It's different. They know things. I would rather hang out with the elderly than people my own age.
when i was growing up there was an elderly man and his wife that lived behind our house. George would come outside as school was letting out, and sit on his back stoop. My mom would let me go visit with him while she was making dinner. We would visit for about a 1/2 an hour, he would ask what i learned in school. And then share stories about when he was growing up. He once taught me how to fold a hand kerchief into the shape of a mouse... something they did when he was young because store bought toys were just too expensive for most families back then. It was just a little time out of his day but it was something i looked forward to. It's not really like that anymore... people don't have time for others and no one seems to care about anyone like they used to.
This goes to show you friendship comes in all colors striking up a friendship with the older black man true innocence there without any influence people are influenced to hate but it goes to show you this world will be a better place without racism
When I was a little girl growing up in the late 50's and 60's our neighbors were black and white We didn't see race ,creed or color ,The TV brought much destruction into our lives. We all lived in peace and harmony back then my playmates were black and white we tought nothing of it!
Kathy here - At first, when your "intro" came on and you first started talking, I thought, she isn't going to get it. But you pleasantly surprised me. It hits you in your "feels" and your entire demeanor changed when you realized what the end of the song was going to be about, and it definitely hit you in your feels! Great reaction, and I am now a subscriber to your channel and look forward to your next review!
Brooks and Dunn were THE dominant country duo in the nineties and into the 2000's until they split up... They are back together now, and are touring again... Kix Brooks, the other half of the duo, usually sings backup, but does lead on some songs... Thank you to Pete Potaczek for pointing out that part of this post, about this song being based on a true story, is not true... I had read it in an article awhile back, but now, I can not find it, or any other source that backs it up, so I deleted that part of the post... I had also phrased it poorly, saying it was a true story instead of BASED on a true story, which is what I had meant to say, but didn't... Like I said earlier, since I couldn't back it up, I deleted it. I left the part that is true. I apologize for my error, namely, not double checking my source as I usually do when I have any doubt. This one slipped by me.
This song was co written by Craig Wiseman and the story is not a true story. I know we all want it to be a lovely true story but it isn’t. This don’t diminish the story but, how you just manufacture a bs story such as this is ridiculous. Why would you comment this non truth?.Craig developed the basic concept of this song snd Ronnie finished it and called him back.
@@petepotaczek5844 I did know that it was not written by Ronnie Dunn, I was trying to convey that he DID have a similar relationship when he was a kid, that helped him relate to the song... I had read that it was based on a true story in an article I had read awhile back, but now, I can't find it anywhere, after about a 15 minute search, which makes me doubt the validity as well now... I will edit the post to reflect this. Thank you for the correction.
@@js3599 your fine guy and my apologies for saying that to you in the manner I did. Please forgive me. I’ve seen that several times so I guess I just blew your comment outta proportion! God bless you!
@@petepotaczek5844 Don't worry about it, I have no issue being corrected if I am wrong, and I have no problem facing up to it either, so thank you. Besides, in this case, it was not that I found proof that I was wrong, it was more that I couldn't find any proof that I was right... Close enough... Bless you too.
I think all the good singers, can make you feel it, if you feel nothing the artist didn't accomplish anything. Music is meant to be therapy. To make you think deeper than on the daily level.
My favorite songs from Brooks & Dunn are That Ain’t No Way To Go; Whiskey Under the Bridge; Neon Moon; Hard Workin’ Man; She Used To Be Mine; Brand New Man; She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind; If You See Him, If You See Her (with Reba McEntire); and of course Believe!
Come on! People die and it's sad. "there's more to life than what he can see". He's talking about God. This is a true story, song written by the lead singer, Ronnie Dunn. Millions of people have had this kind of friendship in life. I'm sorry you haven't been blessed with such a relationship.
The singer Ronnie Dunn, this is his true story. He wrote the song for Mr. Rigley. Oh by the way, Ronnie's last name sounds like Done. The guy playing the guitar is the other half of Brooks and Dunn. Kix Brooks. Great reaction ☮️
I’ve seen a really slow ride in a hearse. In the Philippines there’s many that don’t have a car. They walk behind the hearse as it moves slowly to the graveyard.
Feeling it is the point. Music can raise you up, bring you down, or just calm you. But all of those emotions are things you need to be a complete person. Its how you get in touch with how you feel about life, love and the world around you. Don't pass up listening to music because it might make you feel sad. That doesn't mean you have to listen to it immediately, but don't completely pass it by either.
I had this relationship with a Black woman as a young child. Even later I skipped school, pretending to have a stomachache, because I knew she was coming over to the house. I loved that lady and she loved me. Race relationships were actually better back then. You're too young to remember. The recent hate and division has been stirred up on purpose so we'll fight each other instead of those in power who make our lives miserable. All of us together could force them to be what they are meant to be, servants of the people who elect them and pay them. But there are those who pay more and it's THEIR will that's followed. Their will is to enslave us all.
Don't worry sweetheart, we cuss too and cry. I was in the Army in the 80's before the current storm of lies and I can tell you "we are all the same" no matter what anyone tells you.
It's a story of loss and u don't realize how much u loose until reality his. Appreciate the wisdom that is told u . Loss of a love one is rough. Also trust and live by the words in the bible
The most important point to me was, this old man lost his wife and son. That is more than enough to destroy a man. Many would have cursed a God who would let this happen. Many would begin to hate everything, everyone including his own cursed life. Many would have found some solace in a bottle of booze or packet of drugs. But not this old man. He believed. He believed there is more to life than this. He believed in God's mercy and that he would one day be with his wife and son again. He decided to keep on living. Do his best to love others anyway. Yes, even this young boy whom he shared his wisdom with. I believe, too. I believe he made the correct choice.
In the beginning of the song , Mr. Wrigley believes and at the end , Ronnie believes, too . Ronnie Dunn was a youth pastor before he was a country star
Brooks and Dunn beautiful outrageous vocals. Dunn is pronounced like "fun". In the bible it's all about Jesus who died suffered and rose so that we could all be with Him and see our loved ones cause our life belong to Him who will raise the dead again : Believe it
I am now old and my granddaughter wants to spend time with me. Cherish the older people around you. Having to see them die is not the worst but the part of the knowing them They teach you how to die
God saw an ederly man who had lost his own son and had no one to pass on his life exoeriences, and He saw a young boy with no father figure in his life. God simply put them together and let them meet each others prayers.
DONE. NOT DUNE also that gasp when you realize how lovingly inclusive this. Some of my all time best friends ate the best. I call at least of them my brothers. And the lady my lover. Were still working out how to have our happy ever after. She's in Memphis I'm in Nashville but she's the most beautiful gal I've ever seen. She and I worked to save someone to. We fell short
I’m 51 years old. This wouldn’t have been an unusual friendship back in the day. Especially in small town America. People are people and neighbors are neighbors. That’s the world I grew up in.

Actually a true story from his childhood. That wonderful old man existed
Oh well that’s wonderful to know makes the story that much better
"The words written in Red" are the words in the Bible spoken by Jesus.
I was going to comment the same.
Sad how many people do not know that.
Sad how many people do not know that.
Is called the “Concordance Bible”
I think the friendship is something that happened in BOTH of their lives because they BOTH needed each other.
I agree 100 percent glad the young boy never forgot about the old man when he went off to college and visited him in his early adulthood life
I grew up in this time, and it was normal for people of different races to become friends.
@wendyparker1986 Same. Back then, things were seemingly getting better racially. Not ideal by any means but certainly making a turn for the better. I hate how we've taken so many steps backwards. I just don't understand how this happened.

This is a true story that Dunn experienceed growing up ❤

Seeing that he used the picture of himself and the boy as a bookmark got me too..I've watched this music video so many times and it still gets me 🥺
True story. He will see his friend again, in Heaven. Amen and Amen.
We need more of this in our lives. I'm 76. Most of my life is behind me. My heart is warmed by this song.

This is not a sad song. Rejoice, he has joined his family like he said he would because he “ Believed”.
Especially because he passed this faith on to the boy who listened and responded to every word.
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful, emotional song/
Ronnie Dunn has a beautiful voice.....powerful message.
He's with his wife and his child now!🙏💖
It was a friendship they both needed

Ronnie Dunn is SO good singing this - it's his personal story, as he was a preacher when he was younger.
He was heretical.
Dying was a blessing.. he got to be with his family again.
Bittersweet.
He was an extra papa to that boy .
Young lady, that was a very insightful reaction. Your observation that this friendship took place when things were much different was spot on.

I was said that the man singing wrote this because it was his true experience. He was that little boy. I guess that's true.
Come on! People die and it's sad. "there's more to life than what he can see". He's talking about God. This is a true story, song written by the lead singer, Ronnie Dunn. Millions of people have had this kind of friendship in life. I'm sorry you haven't been blessed with such a relationship.
No I wasn’t blessed to have this relationship with an older person but I have been blessed to have a relationship similar with younger people
It's not a true story
Faith is the only thing that keeps many of us going.. knowing that this isn't where we belong.
This is a true story from when the singer was a kid
Beautiful reaction ❤and can I just tell you that I think you are a very pretty young lady 😊 ❤
The singer Ronnie Dunn, this is his true story. He wrote the song for Mr. Rigley. Oh by the way, Ronnie's last name sounds like Done. The guy playing the guitar is the other half of Brooks and Dunn. Kix Brooks. Great reaction ☮️
I’ve seen a really slow ride in a hearse. In the Philippines there’s many that don’t have a car. They walk behind the hearse as it moves slowly to the graveyard.
Good job young lady
Feeling it is the point. Music can raise you up, bring you down, or just calm you. But all of those emotions are things you need to be a complete person. Its how you get in touch with how you feel about life, love and the world around you. Don't pass up listening to music because it might make you feel sad. That doesn't mean you have to listen to it immediately, but don't completely pass it by either.
I had this relationship with a Black woman as a young child. Even later I skipped school, pretending to have a stomachache, because I knew she was coming over to the house. I loved that lady and she loved me. Race relationships were actually better back then. You're too young to remember. The recent hate and division has been stirred up on purpose so we'll fight each other instead of those in power who make our lives miserable. All of us together could force them to be what they are meant to be, servants of the people who elect them and pay them. But there are those who pay more and it's THEIR will that's followed. Their will is to enslave us all.
Life does not end in a slow riding hearse it only begins
Amen ❤
Don't worry sweetheart, we cuss too and cry. I was in the Army in the 80's before the current storm of lies and I can tell you "we are all the same" no matter what anyone tells you.
This an intelligent reaction thank you. I do have to say though you are one of the most gorgeous women I have laid a gaze on!
Beautiful ❤️😥🙏
He believed in God's Word and God's promise of being with other believers after death.
Listen or read the words to this song and if you are a Christian you would realize how much it repudiates God's Word.
It would blow your mind the people I love that I shouldn't love
I always cry with this song.
It's a story of loss and u don't realize how much u loose until reality his. Appreciate the wisdom that is told u . Loss of a love one is rough. Also trust and live by the words in the bible
The most important point to me was, this old man lost his wife and son. That is more than enough to destroy a man. Many would have cursed a God who would let this happen. Many would begin to hate everything, everyone including his own cursed life. Many would have found some solace in a bottle of booze or packet of drugs. But not this old man. He believed. He believed there is more to life than this. He believed in God's mercy and that he would one day be with his wife and son again. He decided to keep on living. Do his best to love others anyway. Yes, even this young boy whom he shared his wisdom with. I believe, too. I believe he made the correct choice.
We don't have long, we fly soon. Better be ready.
In the beginning of the song , Mr. Wrigley believes and at the end , Ronnie believes, too .
Ronnie Dunn was a youth pastor before he was a country star
This is so beautiful and sad.❤️
I’m glad you see the love that is all there
is l love you ❤
Brooks and Dunn beautiful outrageous vocals. Dunn is pronounced like "fun". In the bible it's all about Jesus who died suffered and rose so that we could all be with Him and see our loved ones cause our life belong to Him who will raise the dead again : Believe it
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
This song was written years and years ago about a time that was years and years before that.
I am now old and my granddaughter wants to spend time with me. Cherish the older people around you. Having to see them die is not the worst but the part of the knowing them They teach you how to die
On TH-cam tombstone is your birthday and end date. Imagine all that dash in between entails
God saw an ederly man who had lost his own son and had no one to pass on his life exoeriences, and He saw a young boy with no father figure in his life.
God simply put them together and let them meet each others prayers.
You would be wrong this is a true story from Ronnie Dunn's youth and Ronnie Dunn is the one singing
You mentioning Whiskey Lullaby is ironic. The Bus Driver in that is the same man.
DONE. NOT DUNE also that gasp when you realize how lovingly inclusive this. Some of my all time best friends ate the best. I call at least of them my brothers. And the lady my lover. Were still working out how to have our happy ever after. She's in Memphis I'm in Nashville but she's the most beautiful gal I've ever seen. She and I worked to save someone to. We fell short
Amen 🙏 🙏
I would highly recommend you try to listen to the other song “ cowgirls don’t cry” by brooks and Dunn.
By the way Dunn is pronounced as Dun.
Loved your comments
React to The Father my son & The Holy Ghost-Creig Morgan.
There so little racist tension in the 90s
