This song saved my life. I was one heavy drunken finger pull away from ending it all. Then I heard the start of this song and stopped. I can rarely listen to the song anymore, but it was a life changing song for me.
I waited faithfully, at home, for my soldier/pilot, to return home when he went to Vietnam. I prayed the whole time and he returned, thank God🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. He's been the only one for me our whole lives. We just passed our 61st anniversary in July!!! He's still the only one for me, ever and I have never stopped loving him. He told me that he didn't know what he'd have done if he hadn't had me waiting for him at home with our little baby girl. They don't say war is hell, for no reason. I've never seen this video before--always have listened to it, since we have it and I've cried every time I've heard it, but this video just tore me up and finished me off even more!
My Mom met my Dad in 1938. He joined the RCAF in 1938 at 21 years of age. They married in 1939and were married for 64 years. Dad retired from thr Air Force after 27 years, they raised 4 children all born on bases here in Canada. What a life they lived as well as all us children. Thanks Mom and dad
The guy in the video is Ricky Schroeder. He played in the movie The Champ when he was 6, I think, and starred in the TV Show Silver Spoons. This was the first country music video he was in, and he directed it. He got an award for the video.
@@annaleabrown4588 I recognized Ricky right away and mentioned it in my post before reading this one. I had no idea he directed this. Very talented guy...Glad he made it out of the kid Hollywood scene and became a successful adult - not many do.
....Allison Krauss has won 27 Grammy Awards the most of any female artist in Grammy history. She has also won 14 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, nine Country Music Association Awards, two Gospel Music Association Awards, two CMT Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Canadian Country Music Award. Allison Krauss is one of the GOATs... must react to her more and more country music in general... Great reaction brotha
Whispering Bill Anderson wrote it and it has made me bawl for twenty years now. There could have been no one else to do it justice than Brad and Allison. Bill is not only a fabulous recording artist but a genius songwriter.
Because of that line I've started saying that all of us are commiting suic... The only difference is our weapon of choice. Some people end it quick and others draw it out over a lifetime. Think about it. Everyone knows smoking is bad for you and can kill you but there are those continuing to smoke. Their death will take years but they chose that method to die. Others choose food as a weapon. There's also reckless driving, dangerous jobs, drugs, walking in unsafe areas and playing with venomous snakes. We all do something that takes the risk of death. Playing with fire and our lives. No one will live forever but most of us choose when and how we will die.
I told my daughter and my son in law. Do NOT cheat on each other, don’t hit each other, and don’t go to bed angry at each other, plus tell each other “I love you “ everyday because you never know what will happen. I love this song. I cry every time I hear it. Thank you once again for another great reaction. Take care.
@@jamesenglebert9149 Was not familiar with Brad's music, sorry to admit. Just heard "There Ain't No "I" in Beer." Fun, yet patriotic. Cheer yourself up with this one BP. I needed to...and I don't even drink!
@@jamesenglebert9149He Didn't Have To Be really hits home for me because my Dad chose me. I was living in an orphanage and at 18 I was aged out of the home. Still a ward of the state waiting to graduate. I needed to move in with a foster family and my Dad and Mom said yes. I'm 54 now. Dad is 12 years older then me and mom is just 10 years older. People find it weird that I call them mom and dad because of the age difference. I'm still old enough to remember my birth parents. I was 7 when we were taken away from them. Birth mom used whiskey as her method of dying. Birth father was scum of the earth. My foster parents have been my mom and dad much longer than my birth parents were. It's been 35 years since I moved in with them. They have 6 children of their own but I'm always the big brother to them. They didn't have to be my mom and dad but they chose me. I gave Dad a Brad Paisley CD one year for his birthday. It had that song on it. As he listened to that song I saw tears rolling down his cheek.
This is WWII. They were married. Brad Paisley and Allison Krause can tear your heart out. Please check out more of their songs, collectively and single. ❤ It keeps us on the "Straight and Narrow!" We see what can go wrong so fast. This reminds us that actions have consequences. Mistakes made can break 💔 and lives. Such a sad tale told so simply.❤❤
I’m a 57yo white woman from down under and I 100% concur “never deny crying” no matter who you are but I have always said “only real men cry!” I have 2 daughters and I have always told them, if they ever date a guy who can’t cry they should dump him and move on. The days of real men don’t cry should be long gone but sadly not yet. People need to understand that emotional intelligence is vital for us all to lead happy and fulfilling lives at the very least and would really change the world if only more people would understand and get on board!
@@mattschroeder3432 What happened to the Forestall? When I was a kid and was on the shore of Hampton Roads, my cousins and I watched the Forestall get launched after being in dry dock at the Newport News Shipyard. That was awesome. Two of my Aunts and their families lived right there across from Norfolk and those summers there were so much a part of my young life. We could see the Navy planes hauling big targets behind them for maneuvers . My brother went into port there for a short leave and he came over to NN to see the family and I was heading back to my gramma's house and there was a Sailor walking up the sidewalk in front of me in his white uniform. Turned out to be my big brother coming to surprise the family. I was so excited to see him. 🥰
You need to listen to a song that rips your heart out every now and then. It reminds us that we are all facing hard trials in our lives. Now go and tell your wife you love her. 👍🤟
I've got a few songs that hit like that. This one, 'Don't Take the Girl', 'One More Light', and 'Kilkelly, Ireland'. They cause such a reaction, a somewhat painful one, that adds to their beauty.
@@Gottsmote also 'wrong side of heaven,' 'three rugged crosses,' and both versions 'Traveling Soldier' by Dixie Chicks and Home Free. I prefer the home free version
I have met Brad numerous times due to my previous life as a photojournalist. Man is a solid dude and can rock a guitar. His whole catalogue is amazing. Mud on the tires is a great album to introduce you to him
I’m a Combat Vet,I died in Iraq during my third deployment from a rollover. The SGT who was in the recovery vehicle behind mine brought me back. When I was in the Hospital for my recovery I SEEN SPOUCES who couldn’t handle what happened to their husband and left them. I m blessed to have a strong wife who helped me thru my recovery and today. Today I live with one hand that has a pinky and half thumb. I type with my pinky!😂I also live with Traumatic Brain Injury and post traumatic stress disorder. I have a great support group,and family. It’s not always easy for every Vet who comes back from War. I’m glad I came back and I’m alive,I have my days that is hard on me but I get through it with my support group. 🙏🫡🇺🇸
God bless you richly in your life. I'm glad you were brought back to life! What an amazing thing and thank you for your service. I'm the wife of a Vietnam Vet and I love and pray for the soldiers. 💔❤🩹❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
I love these two singers. Allison’s voice is pure. If you hear her live and close your eyes, you could swear you’re listening to the recording. They don’t need theatrics nor enhancers. They sing simple lines with beautiful harmony. I use to be an opera singer and love Bach and Pachelbel, but these two make real music. You need to hear Brad’s song about his stepfather. And listen to Allison with the union station.
I just saw this in my feed, and I know that at four days later, it's not likely that you'll see this comment, but I want to leave it anyway in hopes that you do. I can't begin to explain how much it means to me that you reacted to this. This was almost my story in reverse. In June of 2009, I was in the navy and my fiancée and I split after ten years together, since high school. I broke things off with her because we had different life goals - I wanted kids, and she wanted tubal litigation. The night we separated, she intentionally OD'd on a cocktail of OTC meds - she had never used in her life. Her last journal entry had a photo of me and the words "Aurelia cannot live without her other half." I quickly deteriorated over the next few months. In October of 2009, I put a shotgun in my mouth and had my thumb on the trigger. The only thing I could think about was how I felt when her sister called me to tell me they found her face down in her bed. I didn't know what I could do, but I knew I couldn't let all of our friends and family get that phone call again. So I put the gun away, drove to base, and asked to be put on suicide watch. I lost my career in the navy, but I got the help I needed. The first time I heard this song was in February of 2018. I was driving alone through Death Valley on a photography trek and it came up on my streaming app. In the first verse, where Paisley sings "He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger," I had to pull off the side of the road to process what I was feeling and finish the song. When Krauss sings "the rumors flew, but no one knew how much she blamed herself," I lost it. I sat there all alone, in the middle of the desert, bawling my eyes out. Let me tell you, Brother, that I cannot even begin to describe how true those words ring. I didn't give her those pills, I didn't make her swallow them, and it doesn't matter how many times someone else tells you it's not your fault. When someone else takes their own life because of a choice or decision you made, you can't help but take that personally and own that, and it will devour and consume your soul if you let it. Fifteen years later now, I'm in a much better place, and I find myself wanting to share my story as much as I can in the hopes that someone else can see me as an example that things do get better and time does heal all wounds. Even still, there are times that intrusive thoughts creep in and I can't help but wonder how far back I would have to turn the clock the save her life, and I can't help but think 1999, and playing hooky on the night I would have met her the first time. But, I know that's not possible, so all I can do is hope to help others, and let people know that this song is as real as it gets. Thank you again for such an honest and emotionally vulnerable review.
@@cvabuck5489 I truly understand what you’re feeling and why. My first husband literally drank himself to death after I left him, taking our children. He was already a functional alcoholic, but managed to keep it under control most of the time when we were married. After I left, he flat out told me he didn’t have to rein himself in anymore. He died in three years from cirrhosis of the liver. The guilt I still feel after 21 years is something I have had to learn to live with. I just want you to know you are not alone. It took me ages to realize I was allowed to be happy and not keep punishing myself for prioritizing myself and our children. Keep your head up. Live your life, find your happiness. God bless you.
I have always loved this song because of the great voices coming together. A lot of people don't know but the little blonde headed girl in the video is the daughter of Rick Schroder who plays the soldier.
Keith Anderson....."I Still Miss You". This song came out right after I had lost someone that I loved and it seemed like I couldn't listen to the radio without hearing it. Made me cry every time I heard it.
Country music is one of the few genres of music where you can get very silly, funny songs, followed by very serious, depressing songs, sometimes by the same artist. Thanks for the reaction.
If you think this one is sad, you don't want to watch "Fire Away" by Chris Stapleton. Absolutely heartwrenching. Soul crushing and beautiful at the same time.
"The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost" by Craig Morgan. I've watched WAY to many men in my life have had to bury sons for that one not to hit me in the gut
@@CheyenneNixon-p8m Just a suggestion if you've never heard it, Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride is another one that will make you heartbroken. But it's so good
@robertroberson7434 another good one that makes me bawl to this day and I listen to right after Whiskey Lullaby is Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood the video is a masterpiece another one is Christmas I listen to is December 1943 by John Michael Montgomery it is so good there are so many heart breakers
My grandparents spit up when my mom was 14 and never got back together and never dated anyone else. But too stubborn to say sorry first and I know this for a fact because I watched my grandad at my grandmother's coffin, clinging and crying saying he never stopped loving her 😢
That was my parents too. They split for nealry 20yrs but never actually divorced. My dad never moved on. Always sent her flowers on her birthday and their anniversary. To the day he passed, he said he loved her. He's been gone 10+yrs now and she has also not moved on. They both had issues, PRIDE was the nail, coffin and grave.
Allison Krause has an angel voice and it looks like it takes not effort, watch her. Listen to "Let me touch you for a while" & " The Lucky one", both are great!!!
My son, now 15, loved Dumbo when he was itty bitty, so I looked up "Baby Mine" one day because he was kind of singing it. I found Allison Krause's version and it blew me away! I'd never heard her before. An angel for sure!
I got chills the first time I saw her face light up in this video. I knew she was the singer. The way they brought her in. She is so breathtakingly beautiful to me. I have a girl crush. 🤣
I’m glad you had that reaction to this video. I wish more people were as passionate about fidelity and loyalty to our service members. Our Military are heroes & God bless them for their service & their FAITHFUL SPOUSES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My wife and I split just before a during my 9th deployment. This song became a staple. I wish I could've seen it as a warning, instead of wallowing in my misery and trying to end myself through abuse and alcohol. Not a single time did I listen with a dry eye. Four years later, i was struck by lightning, while riding my motorcycle home from work and it was the catalyst for us getting back together and working our stuff out. Realizing, in that hospital bed, that the only thing and person I wanted was her. Still- to this day, I can't get through it without a tear. I'm so grateful that God used what He did to bring us back together.
My wife went to High School with Brad. He was a couple of classes ahead of her. His song, "Letter to Me" always makes her happy because she knew many of the people Brad talks about in that song. Glen Dale / Moundsville, WV in the house!
I heard this for the first time sitting with friends listening to live music. My fiance had passed less than a year before. This story didn't happen to us but he had substance issues that probably took his life. I found him. I drank myself to sleep for about 2 years after....whiskey. I cry so hard every time I hear it.
Brad Paisley’s catalog is amazing!!! He has such songs that tear at your heart, some that bring you happy tears and some that are just enjoyable. Didn’t Have to Be, I Wish You’d Stay Waiting On A Wonan, Letter To Me, Alcohol. Start with these. All Prime Time Hits!!!!
Brad Paisley can make you cry but he can make you laugh your head off. Listen to I'm Gonna Miss Her for a good soul cleansing laugh, then go back to him and Dolly singing When I Get Where I'm Going for a different kind of cry. He Didn't Have to Be, Mud on the Tires, Old Alabama, Waitin' On a Woman, Online and finally Then. So many many more but these are the must hears!!!!!
Absolutely the best opening line of any song. It paints such a hard picture. "She put him out like, the burning end of a midnight cigarette" , that's a deep statement
I used to sing this with my daughter karaoke. She passed a few short years ago, and this song that used to sound so good when she'd sing it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for the reaction
Bradley Paisley sings songs that can be just true stories. Listen to he didn't have to be. I'm 40 years old and cry every time I hear it because it's 100% my story down to the ages of the kid
I had absolutely no intentions of crying today, then I saw your reaction to this song and had to see it, one of my absolute favorite songs and it makes me tear up every time
Brad Paisley does a song called "he didn't have to be" and it reminds me of my son and my husband. It gets you right in the feels just like this song does.
My best friend Adam got deployed right after 9/11 but had gotten married before he left, the woman he married had an affair and got pregnant. She tried passing the baby off as his and he started to fall for it til he did the math on dates and realized the child wasn't old enough to be his.
It’s always been a hauntingly beautiful song to me. The ending speaks of forgiveness. If not in this world, in the next. Brad Paisley and Allison Krause were a perfect match for that “sound.”
First thing I did was check to see if you’ve done “I’m Going to Miss Her” yet. You’re one of my favorite reactors, and I can’t believe you had done so little country. You have one heck of a rabbit hole with Brad and country music in general.
This song was the perfect introduction to Brad Paisley. This song is hauntingly beautiful. The emotion in both of their voices is bone chilling. The way the video seamlessly flows with the video. The cinematography is beautiful. I bawl like a baby everytime I watch the video.
Brad is an amazing artist and one of the best guitarists! You definitely wont regret checking out more of his stuff! Waiting on a woman, didn't have to be, letter too me, just to list a few great songs!
Brad is an absolute BEAST on the guitar! I love his song featuring Keith Urban "Start A Band" (Official Video). You can see how much fun they were having making the video, but they also showed off their skills on the guitar!
I only know Paisley from his Nationwide commercials.. Damn he's good. Pretty much reacted the same way - especially about the "why didn't she just wait". OTOH, he needed to move on. Or re-kindle the relationship. I think the way Castaway (Tom Hanks) did it was awesome. He comes back. She's "moved on". But she, with empathy, goes with him.. which allows him to realize that he's not in the same place either. And they say good bye. Just as heart breaking, but a much better result and message!
I love these reaction videos - opening the eyes to people who were only exposed to one type of music - so much beautiful music out there - Rick Schroder is the soldier who started out as child actor (Silver Spoons and the movie The Champ a must see) and has continued to act
We love your sensitivity, don't ever stop showing it. The time period is most likely WW2 by the fashion and the model of the bus. BTW, I come back every day because you don't edit your feelings and reactions. ❤
The art of good country music is telling a great story that people can relate to. Not all of those stories are happy ones in our lives, but if they can make us stop, think and feel there's tremendous value in the telling. Doing it with this kind of somber beauty is tremendous.
Good to see you appreciate these two country greats, Brad Paisley, and the haunting voice of the one and only Allison Kraus. Hope you continue your journey thru Country music with some of the greatest song writers of all time.
So glad you got to my local Ohio Valley storyteller! Brad was raised in Glen Dale WV and is one of the top Country music singers. I personally am not into much Country Music, but I love his wonderful guitar playing and songs that are real and make you laugh, cry and remember times of your life. He is a member on the Grand Ole Opry.
This is a incredible song. Their voices together are so unreal. The song puts you right in the middle of it became so many people have had a similar experience. I cant think of another two people that could sing this song any better.
Brad Paisley is one of the best song writer/story tellers out there and one hell of a guitar player. He has many songs that'll bring a tear to your eye but also so many that'll have you laughing. You need to check out more of his music. Letter to me, we danced, waiting on a woman, wrapped around her finger, he didn't have to be, celebrity, and so many more.
@@andrewwebb3248, and some of them were brutally hurtful. 25% of the marriages ended in divorce after my first tour. A little more than that my second tour.
My great uncle was shot down in WWII and a POW for 6 months, with another 6 months of the Army trying to feed him enough to get his strength back. I don't know if his wife was told when they found him, but she had moved on , thinking he was dead.
Brad Paisley also did "Don't Laugh at Me" give it a listen, it will give you a different perspective on the differences in people, being blind it has a special meaning for me. He is a great storyteller
@@michelleraborn6886 I love Mark Wills, Don't Laugh at Me is my favorite of his songs. I am the blind girl. The song covers a lot of disabilities, and a subject that I feel should be spotlighted. I like when artists bring their spotlight to some of the subjects that need to be talked about and prejudices put to bed. Dolly Parton "Coat of Many Colors" is another one.
@dianamccants7047 yes. I feel like they should highlight more how some kids don't "fit in" and how it can affect them as they're growing up. I also had glasses at the same time I had braces. Back n the 80s, that was pretty much Catnip for the bullies
@@michelleraborn6886 I grew up in the 50's - 60's and wore glasses as well. I went blind later in life,, retrained and taught 800 operators to support my kids. Back then they called it teasing but it was bullying. You the subjects that are difficult to talk about and stand up against are always good things to promote.☺
Bro I'm in tears every time I hear it yet here I am still listening to it watching the video on top of it must be gluten for punishment 😢😢😢 great reaction man see you on to the next one great song 😎👍✌️
Your wife has good taste and music country music that is. I’m glad she shown you some of the real good older stuff. Keep up the good work brother doing good job man. I love it.
Don't sleep on Alison Krauss, the lady has 27 Grammys, has been sought out by musicians in all kinds of genres. Voice of an angel and an amazing violinist to boot.
Absolutely still touring with Robert Plant. The poster child for what I would call under appreciated artists. At least from the general public
She and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin have done music together in recent years.

Thank God brother. Stay strong, 1 day at a time.
Brad paisley is good at making you cry, he's good at making you laugh. "Im going to miss her" should be next. For a tone change
Yes!!!!! I'm going to miss her for sure!
Yes! That one! Change in mood!

First line of the song...man paints pictures with words..
Written by Jon Randall and Country Legend Bill Anderson.
The first guitar riff is what pure heartbreak sounds like
One of the best openings line in music.
I've never heard a better opening line in music. It is poetry that immediately sets the tone and expectation for every word and note that comes after.
This song is quintessential country, it’s everything country music is supposed to be. The story telling is so rich.

"He put a bottle to his head,
And pulled the trigger..."
This line never fails to throatpunch me dead in the feels
For me, it hits harder in the second verse.

Exactly what my dad did after my mom died. He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger. 3 mths after she died.

It keeps us on the "Straight and Narrow!" We see what can go wrong so fast. This reminds us that actions have consequences. Mistakes made can break 💔 and lives.
Such a sad tale told so simply.❤❤
One of all time favorite song by Brad Paisley is "When I get where im going". I believe it would be a great one to react to.
That line, "Put that bottle to his/her head and pulled the trigger...'. The imagery and power to such a simple sentence is wild.
I always thought it should’ve been, “poured the trigger” but both worked.
Yes. It's a very powerful image
I know I'm late to the show but never deny crying. I'm 57, white , and Navy. Only real men cry. Love you little brother
I’m a 57yo white woman from down under and I 100% concur “never deny crying” no matter who you are but I have always said “only real men cry!” I have 2 daughters and I have always told them, if they ever date a guy who can’t cry they should dump him and move on. The days of real men don’t cry should be long gone but sadly not yet. People need to understand that emotional intelligence is vital for us all to lead happy and fulfilling lives at the very least and would really change the world if only more people would understand and get on board!
48 and still the waterworks with this song.
tears fall because we are strong enough not to. our dad is U.S. Navy and our dad survived the tragedy of the uss Forestall
62 and Air Force. Cry every damn time...
@@mattschroeder3432 What happened to the Forestall? When I was a kid and was on the shore of Hampton Roads, my cousins and I watched the Forestall get launched after being in dry dock at the Newport News Shipyard. That was awesome. Two of my Aunts and their families lived right there across from Norfolk and those summers there were so much a part of my young life. We could see the Navy planes hauling big targets behind them for maneuvers . My brother went into port there for a short leave and he came over to NN to see the family and I was heading back to my gramma's house and there was a Sailor walking up the sidewalk in front of me in his white uniform. Turned out to be my big brother coming to surprise the family. I was so excited to see him. 🥰
You need to listen to a song that rips your heart out every now and then. It reminds us that we are all facing hard trials in our lives. Now go and tell your wife you love her. 👍🤟
I've got a few songs that hit like that. This one, 'Don't Take the Girl', 'One More Light', and 'Kilkelly, Ireland'. They cause such a reaction, a somewhat painful one, that adds to their beauty.
@@Gottsmoteto add to the list, Fire Away, Concrete Angel, Give Heaven Some Hell, and You Should be here
@@Gottsmote also 'wrong side of heaven,' 'three rugged crosses,' and both versions 'Traveling Soldier' by Dixie Chicks and Home Free. I prefer the home free version
@MrMetamorFitness concrete angel always gets me. I don't listen to it often lol.
@@finalboss1015 I almost always end up loving the Home Free version better, even when the originals are good. Those guys are amazing
Communication breaks down when pride gets in the way. Addiction is a beast. In the end it was the faith of a child to see they were ok .
I have met Brad numerous times due to my previous life as a photojournalist. Man is a solid dude and can rock a guitar. His whole catalogue is amazing. Mud on the tires is a great album to introduce you to him
I’m a Combat Vet,I died in Iraq during my third deployment from a rollover. The SGT who was in the recovery vehicle behind mine brought me back. When I was in the Hospital for my recovery I SEEN SPOUCES who couldn’t handle what happened to their husband and left them. I m blessed to have a strong wife who helped me thru my recovery and today. Today I live with one hand that has a pinky and half thumb. I type with my pinky!😂I also live with Traumatic Brain Injury and post traumatic stress disorder. I have a great support group,and family. It’s not always easy for every Vet who comes back from War. I’m glad I came back and I’m alive,I have my days that is hard on me but I get through it with my support group. 🙏🫡🇺🇸
God bless you richly in your life. I'm glad you were brought back to life! What an amazing thing and thank you for your service. I'm the wife of a Vietnam Vet and I love and pray for the soldiers. 💔❤🩹❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
Thank you for your service and many prayers and blessings to you and your family (wife) ❤🙏
Thank you for your service ❤️🇺🇸🫡
God bless you! 🤗🤗
Brad's song He Didn't Have To Be is another great song.
Amazing song!!
A tear jerker.
One of the most beautiful and sorrowful songs ever written. The worst part about people is that they are human.
No matter how many times I hear this song, I cry. Ricky does a fantastic job in this video.
I've seen this video several times and ever time I cry. 😢😂 Beautiful ❤️
Cuts too close to home for me. Love the song. The memories are hard.
No matter how many times I’ve heard this…tears! It’s hauntingly beautiful. That Paisley brought Alison Krauss in on this one was pure genius 💜💜💜
I love these two singers. Allison’s voice is pure. If you hear her live and close your eyes, you could swear you’re listening to the recording. They don’t need theatrics nor enhancers. They sing simple lines with beautiful harmony. I use to be an opera singer and love Bach and Pachelbel, but these two make real music. You need to hear Brad’s song about his stepfather. And listen to Allison with the union station.
Alcohol & I’m gonna miss her are two of the funniest songs ever written, and they’re both by him. He’s as talented a writer as a guitar player.
Yes! And don't forget Celebrity. Another funny one.
It's not by Brad but have ya ever heard "redneck love gone bad" ? It's hilarious and it's gotta be a true story
Yes! My picks are High Life and The Cigar Song. He has a brilliant sense of humour
I like Check You for Ticks 😂
And On-Line. Its the funniest video.
I just saw this in my feed, and I know that at four days later, it's not likely that you'll see this comment, but I want to leave it anyway in hopes that you do. I can't begin to explain how much it means to me that you reacted to this. This was almost my story in reverse. In June of 2009, I was in the navy and my fiancée and I split after ten years together, since high school. I broke things off with her because we had different life goals - I wanted kids, and she wanted tubal litigation. The night we separated, she intentionally OD'd on a cocktail of OTC meds - she had never used in her life. Her last journal entry had a photo of me and the words "Aurelia cannot live without her other half." I quickly deteriorated over the next few months. In October of 2009, I put a shotgun in my mouth and had my thumb on the trigger. The only thing I could think about was how I felt when her sister called me to tell me they found her face down in her bed. I didn't know what I could do, but I knew I couldn't let all of our friends and family get that phone call again. So I put the gun away, drove to base, and asked to be put on suicide watch. I lost my career in the navy, but I got the help I needed.
The first time I heard this song was in February of 2018. I was driving alone through Death Valley on a photography trek and it came up on my streaming app. In the first verse, where Paisley sings "He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger," I had to pull off the side of the road to process what I was feeling and finish the song. When Krauss sings "the rumors flew, but no one knew how much she blamed herself," I lost it. I sat there all alone, in the middle of the desert, bawling my eyes out. Let me tell you, Brother, that I cannot even begin to describe how true those words ring. I didn't give her those pills, I didn't make her swallow them, and it doesn't matter how many times someone else tells you it's not your fault. When someone else takes their own life because of a choice or decision you made, you can't help but take that personally and own that, and it will devour and consume your soul if you let it.
Fifteen years later now, I'm in a much better place, and I find myself wanting to share my story as much as I can in the hopes that someone else can see me as an example that things do get better and time does heal all wounds. Even still, there are times that intrusive thoughts creep in and I can't help but wonder how far back I would have to turn the clock the save her life, and I can't help but think 1999, and playing hooky on the night I would have met her the first time. But, I know that's not possible, so all I can do is hope to help others, and let people know that this song is as real as it gets.
Thank you again for such an honest and emotionally vulnerable review.
Prayers for your continued comfort. I hope you can continue to find peace.
Have you done Red Sovine. Teddy Bear!! Even at 63 this is one of my all time favorites!!
Been there too. Not exactly the same but close. Stay strong. I still fight it every time I'm sad.
@@cvabuck5489 I truly understand what you’re feeling and why. My first husband literally drank himself to death after I left him, taking our children. He was already a functional alcoholic, but managed to keep it under control most of the time when we were married. After I left, he flat out told me he didn’t have to rein himself in anymore. He died in three years from cirrhosis of the liver. The guilt I still feel after 21 years is something I have had to learn to live with. I just want you to know you are not alone. It took me ages to realize I was allowed to be happy and not keep punishing myself for prioritizing myself and our children. Keep your head up. Live your life, find your happiness. God bless you.
The name of the war doesn’t matter. It’s all the same
Two of my favourite Brad Paisley songs are He Didn’t Have To Be & Waiting on a Woman
Waiting on a Woman is a fantastic song!
Oh I LOVE didn't have to be.
I have always loved this song because of the great voices coming together. A lot of people don't know but the little blonde headed girl in the video is the daughter of Rick Schroder who plays the soldier.
Beautifully sung sad song that gets you in the feels.
Brother, my Pops almost did this, but thankfully, I'm here. He passed away on Christmas Eve 6 years ago at 60 with cancer. Semper Fi Pops
Sorry for your loss
@garth1962 Thanks brother
I'm sorry for your loss, but so happy you got more time with him. Time is always precious.
Pops is in Valhalla with his warrior brothers. RIP SF.
I'm so sorry for your loss
The most important heartbreak is Waiting On A Woman by Brad and Andy Griffith
Yes!!!
Absolutely THIS!
"ill wait for you" by Joe Nichols and also, and i cant stress this one enough, "stay" by Sugarland.
That was the first song I heard after my grandmother passed away in 2013. I just pictured my grandfather waiting on that bench since 1994
Keith Anderson....."I Still Miss You". This song came out right after I had lost someone that I loved and it seemed like I couldn't listen to the radio without hearing it. Made me cry every time I heard it.
Country music is one of the few genres of music where you can get very silly, funny songs, followed by very serious, depressing songs, sometimes by the same artist.
Thanks for the reaction.
Bluegrass, too. Try the Long Black Veil by the Seldom Scene.
If you think this one is sad, you don't want to watch "Fire Away" by Chris Stapleton. Absolutely heartwrenching. Soul crushing and beautiful at the same time.
Concrete Angel is hard to listen to
"The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost" by Craig Morgan. I've watched WAY to many men in my life have had to bury sons for that one not to hit me in the gut
Hey man....."When I Get Where I'm Going" Brad and Dolly.....your response touched my old heart. The time is ....eternal / internal.
This was meant to take place in the 40's and WWII
Though the subject could be about any war or soldiers coming home. Unfortunately, it's timeless 😞
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard in country music
@@CheyenneNixon-p8m Just a suggestion if you've never heard it, Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride is another one that will make you heartbroken. But it's so good
Exactly
@robertroberson7434 another good one that makes me bawl to this day and I listen to right after Whiskey Lullaby is Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood the video is a masterpiece another one is Christmas I listen to is December 1943 by John Michael Montgomery it is so good there are so many heart breakers
My grandparents spit up when my mom was 14 and never got back together and never dated anyone else. But too stubborn to say sorry first and I know this for a fact because I watched my grandad at my grandmother's coffin, clinging and crying saying he never stopped loving her 😢
That's truly tragic.
@@charliecrowley1070 yes it is
That was my parents too. They split for nealry 20yrs but never actually divorced. My dad never moved on. Always sent her flowers on her birthday and their anniversary. To the day he passed, he said he loved her. He's been gone 10+yrs now and she has also not moved on. They both had issues, PRIDE was the nail, coffin and grave.
@@charliecrowley1070Yes it is
@@pippybibo1735Heartbreaking!
Allison Krause has an angel voice and it looks like it takes not effort, watch her. Listen to "Let me touch you for a while" & " The Lucky one", both are great!!!
"Lucky One" ❤
My son, now 15, loved Dumbo when he was itty bitty, so I looked up "Baby Mine" one day because he was kind of singing it. I found Allison Krause's version and it blew me away! I'd never heard her before. An angel for sure!
Alison Krauss is my favorite female singer, any genre any time period.
I got chills the first time I saw her face light up in this video. I knew she was the singer. The way they brought her in. She is so breathtakingly beautiful to me. I have a girl crush. 🤣
Lucky One is my favorite song ❤
I’m glad you had that reaction to this video. I wish more people were as passionate about fidelity and loyalty to our service members. Our Military are heroes & God bless them for their service & their FAITHFUL SPOUSES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My wife and I split just before a during my 9th deployment. This song became a staple. I wish I could've seen it as a warning, instead of wallowing in my misery and trying to end myself through abuse and alcohol. Not a single time did I listen with a dry eye. Four years later, i was struck by lightning, while riding my motorcycle home from work and it was the catalyst for us getting back together and working our stuff out. Realizing, in that hospital bed, that the only thing and person I wanted was her. Still- to this day, I can't get through it without a tear. I'm so grateful that God used what He did to bring us back together.
❤❤ So glad you found eachother again when needing it most
Whoa! I'm glad you got back together. Real love works miracles.
Wow! Literally struck by lightening and finding your love again!❤
Allison has the voice of an angel
Allison Krauss and Amy Lee have Angelical voices
Can't listen to that anymore it was played at my dad's funeral
My wife went to High School with Brad. He was a couple of classes ahead of her. His song, "Letter to Me" always makes her happy because she knew many of the people Brad talks about in that song. Glen Dale / Moundsville, WV in the house!
No other genre tells a story better than Country music!!!!🤠 That's why songs like these have such an impact!
This song makes me so teary eyed when I hear it.
I heard this for the first time sitting with friends listening to live music. My fiance had passed less than a year before. This story didn't happen to us but he had substance issues that probably took his life. I found him. I drank myself to sleep for about 2 years after....whiskey. I cry so hard every time I hear it.
This is one of those songs up there with Don’t Take the Girl, He Stopped Loving Her Today, and Riding with Private Malone.
Brad Paisley’s catalog is amazing!!! He has such songs that tear at your heart, some that bring you happy tears and some that are just enjoyable. Didn’t Have to Be, I Wish You’d Stay Waiting On A Wonan, Letter To Me, Alcohol. Start with these. All Prime Time Hits!!!!
They can both sing! That's why people wanted you to watch. They sing amazingly together!
This song never fails to give me goosebumps, or make me cry.
Brad Paisley can make you cry but he can make you laugh your head off. Listen to I'm Gonna Miss Her for a good soul cleansing laugh, then go back to him and Dolly singing When I Get Where I'm Going for a different kind of cry. He Didn't Have to Be, Mud on the Tires, Old Alabama, Waitin' On a Woman, Online and finally Then. So many many more but these are the must hears!!!!!
Absolutely the best opening line of any song. It paints such a hard picture. "She put him out like, the burning end of a midnight cigarette" , that's a deep statement
I used to sing this with my daughter karaoke. She passed a few short years ago, and this song that used to sound so good when she'd sing it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for the reaction
😢
Brad Paisle She’s Everything, When I Get to Where I’m Going ft. Dolly, Baby Remind Me ft. Carrie Underwood, Waiting on a Woman. All of his are good!
Remind Me saved my marriage. ❤️
Love that song.
I have heard this song dozens of times, and I sob through it every single time.
Bradley Paisley sings songs that can be just true stories. Listen to he didn't have to be. I'm 40 years old and cry every time I hear it because it's 100% my story down to the ages of the kid
That's the song my wife plays every year on our anniversary, I married her and became a stepdad
That one does hit hard
Brad Paisley is great. He is also one of the best guitarists alive, not just country guitarist, one of the best guitarists PERIOD.
I had absolutely no intentions of crying today, then I saw your reaction to this song and had to see it, one of my absolute favorite songs and it makes me tear up every time
This song always makes my eyes leak. I no shit only will listen to it through to the end when I know I’m in a space that I feel comfortable crying.
Not the only one...
Definitely not the only one.
I cry every time I listen to this song. I’ve never seen the video and wholly cow I cried so much harder!!!
Brad Paisley does a song called "he didn't have to be" and it reminds me of my son and my husband. It gets you right in the feels just like this song does.
Welcome to the lives of military, veterans, and first responders everywhere
As a veteran and military spouse, unfortunately it happens on both sides of the coin. I haven't seen this one in years and it just did me in.
My best friend Adam got deployed right after 9/11 but had gotten married before he left, the woman he married had an affair and got pregnant. She tried passing the baby off as his and he started to fall for it til he did the math on dates and realized the child wasn't old enough to be his.
Sad
And their families.
@@melissamercer1988 So, what happened then? The kids are the real loses in these situations.
It’s always been a hauntingly beautiful song to me. The ending speaks of forgiveness. If not in this world, in the next. Brad Paisley and Allison Krause were a perfect match for that “sound.”
First thing I did was check to see if you’ve done “I’m Going to Miss Her” yet. You’re one of my favorite reactors, and I can’t believe you had done so little country.
You have one heck of a rabbit hole with Brad and country music in general.
This song was the perfect introduction to Brad Paisley. This song is hauntingly beautiful. The emotion in both of their voices is bone chilling. The way the video seamlessly flows with the video. The cinematography is beautiful. I bawl like a baby everytime I watch the video.
One of my favorite songs EVER!
Not only is it important to be faithful to your partner, but this also shows how important it is to forgive each other.
Nope. Cheat once always a cheat.
Brad is an amazing artist and one of the best guitarists! You definitely wont regret checking out more of his stuff! Waiting on a woman, didn't have to be, letter too me, just to list a few great songs!
I'd like to check her for ticks ... Another great Brad Paisley song
Brad is an absolute BEAST on the guitar! I love his song featuring Keith Urban "Start A Band" (Official Video). You can see how much fun they were having making the video, but they also showed off their skills on the guitar!
Damn BP... this song is not for the weak. (Written before watching) Hits harder to those of us who have survived a lullaby.
I only know Paisley from his Nationwide commercials.. Damn he's good. Pretty much reacted the same way - especially about the "why didn't she just wait". OTOH, he needed to move on. Or re-kindle the relationship. I think the way Castaway (Tom Hanks) did it was awesome. He comes back. She's "moved on". But she, with empathy, goes with him.. which allows him to realize that he's not in the same place either. And they say good bye. Just as heart breaking, but a much better result and message!
I love these reaction videos - opening the eyes to people who were only exposed to one type of music - so much beautiful music out there - Rick Schroder is the soldier who started out as child actor (Silver Spoons and the movie The Champ a must see) and has continued to act
Right here with You, Crying, living here, and Dad in the Army for 30+ Years.
We love your sensitivity, don't ever stop showing it. The time period is most likely WW2 by the fashion and the model of the bus. BTW, I come back every day because you don't edit your feelings and reactions. ❤
Two of the best in Country Music.
An absolutely crushingly beautiful song! ❤❤
And that's Ricky Schroeder 🥰 Another song that I cry my eyes out singing along. I've heard this a million times and it gets me every time.
PLEASE DO MORE BRAD PAISLEY!!!!!!!
Brad paisley I’m gonna miss her. Think you’ll get a kick out of that one. 🤠
Absolutely he will! People Please request it!
Yes! Both my husband and I got a kick out of it when we heard it because we loved to fish in our younger years. LOL!
The art of good country music is telling a great story that people can relate to. Not all of those stories are happy ones in our lives, but if they can make us stop, think and feel there's tremendous value in the telling. Doing it with this kind of somber beauty is tremendous.
This song is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Makes your chest hurt but that is what makes it so great.
Good to see you appreciate these two country greats, Brad Paisley, and the haunting voice of the one and only Allison Kraus. Hope you continue your journey thru Country music with some of the greatest song writers of all time.
He does have fun songs, too. Check out "I'm Gonna Miss Her". The official video for "Waitin' On a Woman" is one of the best!
Both of these are great! Also Remind Me by Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood.
So glad you got to my local Ohio Valley storyteller! Brad was raised in Glen Dale WV and is one of the top Country music singers. I personally am not into much Country Music, but I love his wonderful guitar playing and songs that are real and make you laugh, cry and remember times of your life. He is a member on the Grand Ole Opry.
This is a incredible song. Their voices together are so unreal. The song puts you right in the middle of it became so many people have had a similar experience. I cant think of another two people that could sing this song any better.
Keep puting it out there. Over and over again. As a Veteran I appreciate what you are doing
This song still kicks my ass every time - even 20 years later.
I love this song!!! ❤ Alison Krauss has such an amazing voice!
Brad Paisley is one of the best song writer/story tellers out there and one hell of a guitar player. He has many songs that'll bring a tear to your eye but also so many that'll have you laughing. You need to check out more of his music. Letter to me, we danced, waiting on a woman, wrapped around her finger, he didn't have to be, celebrity, and so many more.
Alcohol and There Is No I In Beer. 😂
I'm sitting here crying. Just hearing the song on the radio makes me cry.
This song crushes me I can’t of even finish listening to it. It is set to some beautiful music, but the story is crushing
Don't hold back your tears. They hold your truth. Love you!!❤️
I love this song so much but it makes me cry so much every time. I call this song 'hauntingly beautiful'.
Not all women waited. The "Dear John" breakup letter became known during WW2.
Letters were present in Iraq/Afghanistan as well.
@@andrewwebb3248, and some of them were brutally hurtful. 25% of the marriages ended in divorce after my first tour. A little more than that my second tour.
My great uncle was shot down in WWII and a POW for 6 months, with another 6 months of the Army trying to feed him enough to get his strength back. I don't know if his wife was told when they found him, but she had moved on , thinking he was dead.
Brad Paisley also did "Don't Laugh at Me" give it a listen, it will give you a different perspective on the differences in people, being blind it has a special meaning for me. He is a great storyteller
Actually Mark Wills did "Don't Laugh At Me". That's one of my favorites because I was the little girl who had braces.
@@michelleraborn6886 I love Mark Wills, Don't Laugh at Me is my favorite of his songs. I am the blind girl. The song covers a lot of disabilities, and a subject that I feel should be spotlighted. I like when artists bring their spotlight to some of the subjects that need to be talked about and prejudices put to bed. Dolly Parton "Coat of Many Colors" is another one.
@dianamccants7047 yes. I feel like they should highlight more how some kids don't "fit in" and how it can affect them as they're growing up. I also had glasses at the same time I had braces. Back n the 80s, that was pretty much Catnip for the bullies
@@michelleraborn6886 I grew up in the 50's - 60's and wore glasses as well. I went blind later in life,, retrained and taught 800 operators to support my kids. Back then they called it teasing but it was bullying. You the subjects that are difficult to talk about and stand up against are always good things to promote.☺
Bro I'm in tears every time I hear it yet here I am still listening to it watching the video on top of it must be gluten for punishment 😢😢😢 great reaction man see you on to the next one great song 😎👍✌️
Brad is not only a amazing storyteller but also a excellent guitarist..
This and "When I Get Where I am Going" are must listen to for emotional responses.
"When I get where I'm going" is another great song by Brad Paisley
I agree with this person
I have never been able to listen to this song without crying.
Your wife has good taste and music country music that is. I’m glad she shown you some of the real good older stuff. Keep up the good work brother doing good job man. I love it.
such a tearjerker...wow..
