Well said. Been married for a long time and the other day that first love just popped up in my head.. The thoughts were innocent enough and I was just remembering how it was. Sweet memories.
Oddly enough, my first love was my best friend in our senior year of high school. A few months after graduation, he broke my heart. But 15 years later, he finally "came out" and it was a relief! I thought, "Oh yeah! Hey, it wasn't just ME he rejected but ALL women!" LOL! Anyway, I got in touch with him years later and he's doing great and he is a gtandpa now! I am happily married so it all worked out. But man, that was a true heart break back then!
I grew up in Jasper county at the same time as Trisha and every time i hear this song i have to hide from my kids. It always makes me cry. I miss it so bad. I wish i could raise my kids on a Jasper county farm. Those were the days.
Every time I hear this song, I think about how I was seconds away from giving up on the love of my life. We were childhood sweethearts, first boyfriend and girlfriend. I grew up, and broke her heart. For 5 years I couldn't get over her, and no one else could compare to my Amy. Then one day, she called. Said she never stopped loving me. I was about to get married, but gave us a chance, even though i had tried to move on. We've been married for 20 amazing years now, but this story in the song was almost ours.
I am very happy for how things worked out for you. I could write a book about my first (and only) love. She was beautiful, and wonderful, with no one ever like her. My GF and I were both 16. It was during summer vacation that we met, and I could not ever have imagined how wonderful love could have been. At the end of the summer, I had to go back home (700 mile away). The distance was too great for us to overcome. I found out five years ago that she had died from cancer; that really hurt me. I often think that I should have figured out a way to keep us together, but in 1964, it was impossible to make that happen, and it didn't
My first love, it was 1979, Cedaredge Colorado, we rode the school bus together. She lived below my aunt and uncle's cabin on her grandfather's spruce tree farm. Oh, SKH, how I dream about you still in 2024...
This song is so emotional for me because I actually have lived in Jasper County most of my life. The family that lives in her childhood home goes to church with me and I can tell you exactly where most of this was filmed because I’ve grown up around it. I’ve walked those tracks and been down the road with the older houses on my way back from school so watching this is so powerful to me.
I understand what you are saying, and are very happy for the relationships that you have described. I have worked in that area, and have family nearby. I wish that I could take a trip there to just look around, but it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.
Trisha Yearwood has one of the purest voices that I have heard. Most of the Country singers have too much twang. I think she is the best female Country singer of this era. If Patsy Cline was still alive it would be a close race. Love you Trisha.
Trisha is good, but Martina McBride and several other singers have higher skill levels and wider ranges. Everyone is allowed their opinion of course, but I was under the impression that twang is a known and recognizable part of country music that sets it apart from other music genres.
Omg you are so right about the ‘Twang’!! I mean I’m from the south, born and raised and still here and I’ve been told I have such a southern accent. But when I’m singing, like in the shower or in the car, I DO NOT have a ‘Twang,!! It’s really ridiculous just how ‘Twangy’ they are!!
Reminds me of when my first love picked me a bunch of violets in the pouring rain when I was just 17 and he was 19. I felt so in love. It still makes me smile 35 years later. Good memories.
I understand what you are saying, It has been many more years for me, and the love is still there, and won't go away; neither do I want it to. If only ....
@@utlot9785 No, we did get engaged, but then life got in the way and pulled us into different directions. It was in East Germany in February 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall. He wanted to stay behind to look after his Grandma, who raised him. I fled to West Germany to start a new life with new opportunities. Just a year later I moved permanently to the UK, aged just 20. I had 3 children, my 3rd grand baby is due in March. I am not in a relationship, but I'm happy.
@@susannedeumig6556 Thanks for sharing. I am glad that things have worked out for you. I understand about "life;" I could write a book on it!" It really gets in the way of love.
Old man now, but I remember times similar to what Trisha is singing about. It was great to be a young man and have the memories of that time that are still with me.
People always say that young teenagers don’t know what real love is I had a teenage boyfriend he broke my heart I’ve now been married for over forty years I love my husband but that hurt is always with me
Beautiful as always your voice and emotions are the best in the biz my biological dad. We Was never in my life was hard my mother was very abusive and till a month ago I hen she passed she was verbally abusive when my time comes I hope my husband and sons will carry me home
Such a beautiful song, close your eyes and imagine being in a field, no cares, no worries, with the one you love most. Then the rain starts and all the two of you can do is smile and laugh. Beautiful.....memories forever
I listen to the song, over and over and over, and each time it brings memories to me of my most precious girl of when we were both 16. I love her, and will never stop.
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans. May God continue to bless you. Kindly send me a direct message 7069932413...
Too bad some of us didn’t realize what true love was. So we moved on but never had that same feeling again. We always thought there was more. Now looking back years later when I think of that certain person it takes my breath away. He died in his twenties and I’ve felt guilt every since. The longer it’s been the more I’ve missed him. This song reminds me of us!
That's the mark of youth....always expecting something better up ahead. Sometimes it's just more. My Wes died as well but not before he became the husband I've always dreamed of for someone else
I know what you are saying. You never lose the love for that special person, regardless of what may happen in our life, even if it means being married to someone else. I think about my special 16 year old girl friend, everyday; she died 5 years ago. Oh! How, I miss her.
My great-grandparents lived on an old farm north of the Monticello city limits, off Liberty Church Road. My great-grandfather's family owned that farm for well over 100 years when they took it over back in the 1970s, and lived there until my great-grandmother passed away in 1993 and my great-grandfather was admitted to a nursing home in 1997. My parents and I began cleaning it up in the summer of 1997 and planned to move into it after I graduated high school in 1998. We lived there for a total of 4 years until my parents decided to sell it to move to west Georgia to be closer to my dad's family. I loved going to my great-grandparents' house, and loved living down there. My favorite thing to do down there was sit on the front porch watching the Georgia rain pouring all around us, with the smell of sweet shrub, daffodils, and of course the good ol' Jasper County clay on the dirt road that divided the main tract of their property. Used to love exploring the woods around that place. Whenever I listen to this song, I think back to that old farm.
When country music was country music. I miss all of the great artists, voices, and songs that defined true country music, as well as time that doesn’t stand still and continues to distance the years from that first true love. All great memories.
My appreciation goes to my fans all over the world My fans have always had an amazing impact on my career For all the support and positivity I want to thank you all What part of the world do you support me from?
To me, this is Trisha's finest vocal performance. It reminds me of the style of Mary Chapin Carpenter, who Trisha is good friends with, though I know Chapin didn't write this. It's just pure romantic storytelling, with a tug at the heartstrings in the final verse. Makes me smile through tears every time, as the older I get, the more these lyrics mean to me.
I don't know if anyone knows or cares or if anyone will ever see this, but that was my dad's truck. Steven Currie, may he drive that car in heaven. Miss you dad. ✌🏻🌈❤️ I live in Jasper County. Everywhere she is I live. That White House is abandoned. That yellow house I real nice person lives there. That fence leads to my house. That field now has a nice senior citizen home on it now. Well, it was a happy thought to know you knew my dad.
With your description the video becomes alive and has got a sense. Love to read you comment. Love that song so much but now still love it more. Surely your dad is drivin' up there and still take care of you.
@@thetruth7416 If today's country music had 'evolved' naturally, I might agree with you. But the truth is that the labels decide who and what qualifies for promotion and airplay, so that, even if there are classic country artists making music, they get shunted aside. Mo Pitney is a good example. He's got a great traditional country style, but radio won't play him. The sad truth is that the quality of today's country music is shallow and melodically boring. But all the labels care about is glitz and money. Not a very good benchmark by any standard.

No one delivers a song and lyrics like Trisha! It's funny how so many years later I can remember parts of my life, by the songs that Trisha sang. So many great ones, so many great memories. I sure do miss her coming out with new music, but at the same time, I sure do enjoy watching her cook! LOL! Trisha is truly a classic, like NO other. A beautiful voice and a beautiful lady in ALL that she chooses to do!

My first love was 60 years ago. I still love her to this day. Even marriage to another person will not make such memories go away. She was in Augusta and I was in New Orleans, and we met during summer vacation when I was in Augusta. The day that I had to go back to begin 11th grade, I felt like someone had stuck a knife in my heart.
It's eerie how this song brings me back to 2005 and to my first and only love. My emotions linked with this girl are right here again and my eyes are filled with tears. I wouldn't have thought, that my feelings for her are still that strong after all these years. It seems the elder people are right when the say, you'll never forget your first love. Wish you well my dear....
My Dear, the fact that you mentioned elderly people really touched me. As a Senior Citizen myself, we are sometimes often forgotten for our Old School Ways. And yes, you will never forget your first love. That is so very true. I am 64 years old and have never or will I ever forget mine. I will forever remain a single lady.. God Bless You Young Man....💔
@@cynthiarobertson6107 Many thanks for your kind words. I don't think that elderly people don't deserve to be respected and listened to. The difference that I noticed is, that, in the 30 year age gap between the two of us, there have been technical revolutions, which older people might not understand anymore. Also, due to the internet, e- Mail and the other stuff that has made our world so insanely fast, some of the people your age and above just might have missed. I think that this lead to the fact that elderly people get treated so unfairly nowadays. However: The feelings remain the same, no matter how old you get. This is where a higher amount of years on this planet comes into play. You might have gotten through some situations (like break-ups) already, but I haven't, so, you might be able to assist me and giving me advice to get trough tough situations like that. Getting older most likely means getting a little slower, but it does also mean getting wiser. I don't think it's fair to deny anyone's abilities, even a younger guy might know better than an older one, but what does hinder us from working together, with the best of both of our generations? I clearly say with utter conviction: Nothing.
@@cynthiarobertson6107 I'm 50, and I will never forget my first and only truest love. Time separated us and we have our own separate lives now... But we still talk sometimes and it brings us back to those early years. If we could only turn back time.
First time i heard this song was the day my mother passed away . After i got in my car i started it and this song came on i sat and listened to it . And wow a flood of memory's came over me . Like most i have i have a love that got away . i hadn't lived in my home town for years so i for the first time in years drove around to all the places that meant something to me and of course her house ! I haven't seen her in years but thanks to this song it made a very sad day better and i will always think of her when i hear it .
I'll never for the life of me understand why this wasn't a number 1 song for her.not only does she choose great material.she has the ability to make the listener feel every ounce of emotion she puts into her music it's so beautiful.
don't remember what was pounding more the heart in my chest or the hood of that ford......I can only wish to have that feeling again . Young love it was wonderful .
Yes I had somewhat the same kind of experience . In 1980 I've thought of it many times . Her and I broke up. In 82 and I saw when my father pasted in 96 . We didnt talk but man the feelings I felt I was 22 again I wish her well .
Yes I know there's alot of us I should have married that woman its been over 30 years and I've thought of her so many times over those years . Wish I'd been more mature then but I did what I did so here I am . Wondering hope you do better Cliff
Zort-80 I was lucky, I met someone 25 years ago and we have been married ever since, but, I often wonder about angie, I hope all is well with her, and I hope she lived her dreams.
Cliff your luck I married once it lasted 20 years but my heart wasn't in it . So I sit and wonder about Sally and I do wish her the best she tryed but I was young and as a lot of young men thought I knew everything . Good luck to you my friend
I miss country like this as well. At least half of what's on country radio anymore doesn't even sound like country. Sounds like it should belong on another genre's station (i.e. pop, R&B). Don't get me wrong. Many of them are good songs, but they just aren't labeled right. Where has much of true, blue country music gone?

I'm from Georgia. I lived in Monticello(Jasper County) for some time back in the late 70s and early 80s. I went back to visit a while back. Nothing much has changed. Pretty much still the same. This song makes me long for those days. She is one.of the best. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
A year ago I would have agreed with you. Now, I would posit "For The Last Time" is even better than "Georgia Rain", and that's in itself is a fantastic song.
She probably does relate to the lyrics to some degree..... she is from Monticello, so Georgia is her home state and has to have added that extra spark to her interpretation. You can really see her revelling in the familiar sights and sounds of the Georgia countryside. Outstanding performance and video.
Takes me back to 1979....In my truck with the most beautiful girl in the whole world....She was the love of a lifetime....There is nothing more powerful than young love, real love....She left after 14 years together....I will never forget those days, they were the best days of my life.....
Joe mine was in 1980 i had 3 years with her we split up and i went out west and as the years passed i often thought of her . She was the love of my life and i often wonder if i'd stayed would we have gotten back together ! i will always wonder . I wish you well Joe

This song reminds me of my mother. She use to listen to country and she bought this Trisha album right before she passed in 2006. How I miss her so...😢

Song written by Ed Hill and Karyn Rochelle. It was released in April 2005 as the lead-off single for her ninth studio album Jasper County. The song, her first Top 40 country hit since "Inside Out" in 2001, reached #15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Her husband, Garth Brooks, provides background vocals for the song. Yearwood debuted the single as a surprise performer at the 2005 CMT Music Awards, for which she received multiple standing ovations throughout her performance.
'Georgia Rain' (the album version, 5:08(!), not the single version, 4:15 - as the end is dialled down way too quickly) is my favourite country song. The storytelling plays on my heartstrings, the song's simplicity lets Trisha's vocals shine, vocals that remind me of walking in the woods on a crisp autumnal morn, simply stunning.🧡

Its been a few years since I listened to this performance...Trisha's phenomenal voice can still touch me where very few artists have ever gone! Listening to this song brings goosebumps, memories,smiles and tears...in seconds. I love this song...to this day!
During our big family road trip down the East Coast in 2006--PA to Florida--JUST as we crossed the state line into Georgia in the middle of a downpour, Trisha Yearwood's "Georgia Rain" started to play. *Randomly.* My iTunes playlist had been on shuffle. I'll never forget staring around me at the red-tinged puddles and runoff streams as that song played. It was like we were in a bubble and time froze for 4 minutes and 13 seconds. Total silence in the car--everyone had chills. Tears. It was uncanny, poetic, transformative. We had to stop at the first opportunity afterward to recover--but in a good way. I felt so vulnerable and so connected to everyone and everything around me. Thank you for that experience, Trisha--and thank you, Georgia. ❤️ --Brandy in West Virginia
I lived on the state lines of NC, TN and GA when this came out. It was so powerful for some reason, it really hit home to everyone that heard it. It seems we all had a story to share about love and rain. Nostalgic.
I used to live in jeff Davis county in south Georgia from 1998 to 2005 and my and my two sisters would sing this song Everytime it came on tv. I miss them good old days, everything seemed simpler back then. One day i am planning on taking a trip back up to Georgia and when i do I'll be playing this song. Thank you Trisha yearwood for creating a beautiful song i enjoyed when i was a kid growing up in the 2000's
I lost my one true love a long, long time ago. Our lives went different ways, although we sorta stayed in touch over the years. But tonight, she came back to me -- and I kissed her for the first time since 1993. Never give up, never give in.... true love really does last forever.
I never will I hope to see her someday and I will tell her what a big mistake I made all those years ago ! And may everything work out for you my friend Steve
Melvin Trumbo Never really liked Trish all that much but she hit this one about "What could have been" very perfectly and in a different way than "Strawberry Wine" did for Deana Carter. Just like you folks, it takes me back to 1980 and all the changes since then.. But some things never change... What could have been. And I got married for the first time in 2011. 40 years old. Took me that long to find the perfect one. And we walk dow n the street and everyone says we are so involve and we are. But i still remember the Georgia Rain....
You so right when I moved out of Georgia I moved on but she was never forgotten and I still like that song she was singing and I still like her Georgia rain
Loved Monticello. My great-grandparents lived just north of there, off of Liberty Church Road. Whenever I listen to this song, I always picture myself sitting on the front porch of their house, watching the rain. I can still smell the wet Georgia Red Clay and the sweetshrub. When my great-granddad went into the nursing home, my parents took over the house and we lived there for a few years, until I moved in with my grandmother to take care of her, then I moved out on my own, and then my parents sold the house and moved to west Georgia, where we live now.
I have been through Monticello many times, and think about it still today. The town must have been for you to have grown up there. Do you still live there?
So many good memories. Watching the storm pass, stuck in the open air barn. Listening to the cattle, sheep and chickens that came in out of the rain. The smell of fresh cut baled hay always takes me back 35 years. ❤️
This artist came up while i was listening to Luke Brian and can i just say WOW!?! She is so amazing and while i still love modern country music she is so amazing and we need more people like her.
Tricia still seems modern to me but I call this the post modern era.She might be the best Female country singer ever but we all have different opinions on that. Anyway if you enjoy her stuff pull up her Discography on a search engine. That will let you know if she has anything new. Sadly once these artists hit 40 the radio acts like they are dead and stops promoting their music or their shows. And if she has anything new usually a tour will follow. But yes she is amazing.
Hello Miss Trisha Yearwood , you such have such a Very Beautiful Voice !! You have Fantastic Lyrics with your Beautiful Song The Georgia Rain !! What a Very Beautiful Song !! Trisha Yearwood !! Thank you Lisa M Hinrichs.!!!:-);-)😉😃🐱🐯💕💓💛💚
So many can relate to this song. I would say that young love is the best...sweet innocence, the bliss, the dreams of a future...all yours for the taking. I fell in love with a blue-eyed boy at age 15. Our love was brief as teens, but I never forgot those blue eyes. He was gorgeous. After college we reconnected. Electrical. We went on to have 30 years of a good marriage. Young love is great. I would say it's the best, but oh it's those precious last years I wouldn't trade for even another cherished day of youth . We truly were one. We grew more in love with time. One evening we kissed good-night, said "I love you" as always, when suddenly he fell to the floor, dead of a heart attack. Only 52 years old with anticipation of us spending so much time together. His blue eyes still reflect in our beautiful grown sons. I will love him the rest of my life.
I know exactly what you are saying. My first, and only, love was when I was 16, and she was almost there. Distance and circumstances got in our way, but I still love her more now, than ever.
Georgia Rain...one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard...it gives me chills and warms me at the same time...I dont think anyone could sing this song near as beautiful as you Trisha. And you have a God given gift withh your voice...I love your cooking show too...but you arent on enough...try every day lol...Love you & Garth...ya'll stay safe...Okla.. girl here ❤
Your first love; the first person you ever really fell in love with. Time may pass, you can move on, but they can never be forgotten.
Well said. Been married for a long time and the other day that first love just popped up in my head.. The thoughts were innocent enough and I was just remembering how it was. Sweet memories.

Quite true young lady he or she will always be in your heart

I grew up in Jasper county at the same time as Trisha and every time i hear this song i have to hide from my kids. It always makes me cry. I miss it so bad. I wish i could raise my kids on a Jasper county farm. Those were the days.
I live here myself. Great voice. We meet her and Beth .
Life, that's all I know to say.
Just a chippewa rain.... remember those days forever. If she tells you different, believe her ❤ don't tell em all the truth 🤷♂️
I have been though Jasper County many times, and can only with that I could have grown up there...maybe with a Trisha Yearwood type of girl friend.

What dose your story missing around with you aunt neighbour's have anything do with song 😢
I met my soul mate over 30 years ago and I still sit here with my heart broken, one of the greatest, emotional songs I have ever heard.
I am very sorry. I know what you are saying; it happened to me, too.
This song is so emotional for me because I actually have lived in Jasper County most of my life. The family that lives in her childhood home goes to church with me and I can tell you exactly where most of this was filmed because I’ve grown up around it.

Yes, Monticello, Georgia. Beautiful town. Trisha looks so good in this video too.
Old times is good times! Takes me back to days in the real South!
One of her most soulful songs ever. And as close as you will ever get to REAL country music.
Trisha's voice is a gift from God.

It really is! She's got this calming and beautiful gift and knows how To tell a story
there ain't no god.but she's goddess
Purest voice in all of Country!! Album & live don't sound different at all. In concert, it sounds just like listening to the album
Trisha Yearwood has one of the purest voices that I have heard. Most of the Country singers have too much twang. I think she is the best female Country singer of this era. If Patsy Cline was still alive it would be a close race. Love you Trisha.
Don’t think your giving Martina enough credit there..think they are two of the best from that time.
Trisha is good, but Martina McBride and several other singers have higher skill levels and wider ranges. Everyone is allowed their opinion of course, but I was under the impression that twang is a known and recognizable part of country music that sets it apart from other music genres.
Omg you are so right about the ‘Twang’!! I mean I’m from the south, born and raised and still here and I’ve been told I have such a southern accent. But when I’m singing, like in the shower or in the car, I DO NOT have a ‘Twang,!! It’s really ridiculous just how ‘Twangy’ they are!!
Very True
not only a beautiful voice but gorgeous as well
Life has passed by so fast....those of you still young...enjoy love while you're young...don't take it for granted. It will never feel that way again.
It can... but just different but... always there..
Never goes away!
I did what had to be done... and if you want to put me in then do it
By god I saved that... and will get though this
fore sure.
She is one of the purest voices in modern country music…
I’m retired now but I drove many a dark rainy night listening to this tune. It warmed my soul.
My favorite Trisha Yearwood song!! I live in Northwest Georgia and nothing like an old dirt road.
Reminds me of when my first love picked me a bunch of violets in the pouring rain when I was just 17 and he was 19. I felt so in love.
It still makes me smile 35 years later. Good memories.
I understand what you are saying, It has been many more years for me, and the love is still there, and won't go away; neither do I want it to. If only ....
That is wonderful. Did you get married?
@@utlot9785 No, we did get engaged, but then life got in the way and pulled us into different directions. It was in East Germany in February 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Old man now, but I remember times similar to what Trisha is singing about. It was great to be a young man and have the memories of that time that are still with me.
People always say that young teenagers don’t know what real love is I had a teenage boyfriend he broke my heart I’ve now been married for over forty years I love my husband but that hurt is always with me
Beautiful as always your voice and emotions are the best in the biz my biological dad. We Was never in my life was hard my mother was very abusive and till a month ago I hen she passed she was verbally abusive when my time comes I hope my husband and sons will carry me home
You sound so very much like me. thanks for sharing
We must keep the crazy memories having fun at the time. Ohh to be young again. Love this

Such a beautiful song, close your eyes and imagine being in a field, no cares, no worries, with the one you love most. Then the rain starts and all the two of you can do is smile and laugh. Beautiful.....memories forever
There will never be anyone more special than "that special person" who will not leave your mind, nor do we want them to leave.
I never get tired of listening to this song. It is so beautiful
Hi Karen how are you doing?
I listen to the song, over and over and over, and each time it brings memories to me of my most precious girl of when we were both 16. I love her, and will never stop.
I really feel Georgia Rain is one of Trisha's best. Beautiful!
Lindsay Purcell I agree
Pretty songs
Me too!!
Me too. If she would have recorded it in the late 90's it would've been #1
It is and she is beautiful in this video!
"The old dirt road's paved over now. Nothing here's the same, except for the Georgia rain." Peace and love to all.
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans.
May God continue to bless you. Kindly send me a direct message 7069932413...
Why didn't she continue to sing lots more? Does her parents still live there an a y other family members like aunt's, uncles or cousins?
Too bad some of us didn’t realize what true love was. So we moved on but never had that same feeling again. We always thought there was more. Now looking back years later when I think of that certain person it takes my breath away. He died in his twenties and I’ve felt guilt every since. The longer it’s been the more I’ve missed him. This song reminds me of us!
That's the mark of youth....always expecting something better up ahead. Sometimes it's just more. My Wes died as well but not before he became the husband I've always dreamed of for someone else
So me
PREACH!!
I am very sorry for your loss; I can not imagine the pain that you have felt.
I know what you are saying. You never lose the love for that special person, regardless of what may happen in our life, even if it means being married to someone else. I think about my special 16 year old girl friend, everyday; she died 5 years ago. Oh! How, I miss her.
This song is a masterpiece. One of my favorite Trisha Yearwood songs. No one tells a story like Trisha does through song. ♥️
My great-grandparents lived on an old farm north of the Monticello city limits, off Liberty Church Road. My great-grandfather's family owned that farm for well over 100 years when they took it over back in the 1970s, and lived there until my great-grandmother passed away in 1993 and my great-grandfather was admitted to a nursing home in 1997. My parents and I began cleaning it up in the summer of 1997 and planned to move into it after I graduated high school in 1998. We lived there for a total of 4 years until my parents decided to sell it to move to west Georgia to be closer to my dad's family. I loved going to my great-grandparents' house, and loved living down there. My favorite thing to do down there was sit on the front porch watching the Georgia rain pouring all around us, with the smell of sweet shrub, daffodils, and of course the good ol' Jasper County clay on the dirt road that divided the main tract of their property. Used to love exploring the woods around that place. Whenever I listen to this song, I think back to that old farm.
Those are wonderful memories; thanks for sharing them.
When country music was country music. I miss all of the great artists, voices, and songs that defined true country music, as well as time that doesn’t stand still and continues to distance the years from that first true love. All great memories.
There is no one on this Earth that could sing this song better. That voice is simply amazing.
stop
She sings the way she looks ... gorgeous.
"You and me down an old dirt road, nothing in our way ......" Memories abound.

Beautiful song
I live on a dirt road in Jasper County.
Seriously underrated!! Best female voice in Country music!
marla williford EVER!! Amazing.
marla williford Trisha is good, but she's no Martina McBride.
no but no bad eh?
One of her best songs..
PneumaticTire Martina is good at belting notes, but Trisha is there to master them with emotion.
To me, this is Trisha's finest vocal performance. It reminds me of the style of Mary Chapin Carpenter, who Trisha is good friends with, though I know Chapin didn't write this. It's just pure romantic storytelling, with a tug at the heartstrings in the final verse. Makes me smile through tears every time, as the older I get, the more these lyrics mean to me.
Funny but I am here thinking the same thing when I saw your post. Had no idea they were friends. You know you singers.
I don't know if anyone knows or cares or if anyone will ever see this, but that was my dad's truck. Steven Currie, may he drive that car in heaven. Miss you dad. ✌🏻🌈❤️
I live in Jasper County. Everywhere she is I live. That White House is abandoned. That yellow house I real nice person lives there. That fence leads to my house. That field now has a nice senior citizen home on it now. Well, it was a happy thought to know you knew my dad.
I find that very interesting. Thank you. Condolences on the loss of your dad.
Such a sweet post. Your dad is looking down at you and smiling because he knows he did a great job raising you.
Now the song has even more meaning, and especially to you. Memories are the hearts song. Thank you for sharing your observations and information.
With your description the video becomes alive and has got a sense. Love to read you comment. Love that song so much but now still love it more. Surely your dad is drivin' up there and still take care of you.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Wish we could bring this kind of Country Music back instead of today's Pop Country that we have today.
FlyGuys I second this.
Amen to that
I so agree love country good music I can hear dance too 💓....
Brian Curiale thanx Brian for your comments.. but just remember if you don’t like it don’t listen... everything evolves
@@thetruth7416 If today's country music had 'evolved' naturally, I might agree with you. But the truth is that the labels decide who and what qualifies for promotion and airplay, so that, even if there are classic country artists making music, they get shunted aside. Mo Pitney is a good example. He's got a great traditional country style, but radio won't play him.
The sad truth is that the quality of today's country music is shallow and melodically boring. But all the labels care about is glitz and money. Not a very good benchmark by any standard.
When your mama raised you on this type of county, you know it's real music. Thank the lord my momma raised me on Trisha 💙
I know what you are saying.
One of the greatest most perfect songs of all time. This is as good as music gets.
Been a Trisha fan since 1992. Lot of her music feels like she is singing my life history
Nice comment Phyllis how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
I love this song. Brings back sad memories of a past that doesn't exist anymore
We thought it would last forever. We didn't see Woke coming.
You have that right. Sad, very sad, to look back on the first love, and wish that it could be the lasting love.
The emotional depth of this song is overwhelming and makes me tear up! Thank you Trisha for such a beautiful piece of music!
Trisha's best song EVER
There are moments when God has touched an artist ,this is that moment just sublime

Takes me back.
No one delivers a song and lyrics like Trisha! It's funny how so many years later I can remember parts of my life, by the songs that Trisha sang. So many great ones, so many great memories. I sure do miss her coming out with new music, but at the same time, I sure do enjoy watching her cook! LOL! Trisha is truly a classic, like NO other. A beautiful voice and a beautiful lady in ALL that she chooses to do!

My first love was 47 years ago. I still love him to this day.
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
My first love was 60 years ago. I still love her to this day. Even marriage to another person will not make such memories go away. She was in Augusta and I was in New Orleans, and we met during summer vacation when I was in Augusta. The day that I had to go back to begin 11th grade, I felt like someone had stuck a knife in my heart.
It's eerie how this song brings me back to 2005 and to my first and only love. My emotions linked with this girl are right here again and my eyes are filled with tears. I wouldn't have thought, that my feelings for her are still that strong after all these years. It seems the elder people are right when the say, you'll never forget your first love. Wish you well my dear....
Ditto. Ditto. And ditto.
Beautiful
My Dear, the fact that you mentioned elderly people really touched me. As a Senior Citizen myself, we are sometimes often forgotten for our Old School Ways. And yes, you will never forget your first love. That is so very true. I am 64 years old and have never or will I ever forget mine. I will forever remain a single lady.. God Bless You Young Man....💔
@@cynthiarobertson6107 Many thanks for your kind words. I don't think that elderly people don't deserve to be respected and listened to. The difference that I noticed is, that, in the 30 year age gap between the two of us, there have been technical revolutions, which older people might not understand anymore. Also, due to the internet, e- Mail and the other stuff that has made our world so insanely fast, some of the people your age and above just might have missed. I think that this lead to the fact that elderly people get treated so unfairly nowadays. However: The feelings remain the same, no matter how old you get. This is where a higher amount of years on this planet comes into play. You might have gotten through some situations (like break-ups) already, but I haven't, so, you might be able to assist me and giving me advice to get trough tough situations like that.
Getting older most likely means getting a little slower, but it does also mean getting wiser. I don't think it's fair to deny anyone's abilities, even a younger guy might know better than an older one, but what does hinder us from working together, with the best of both of our generations? I clearly say with utter conviction: Nothing.
@@cynthiarobertson6107 I'm 50, and I will never forget my first and only truest love. Time separated us and we have our own separate lives now... But we still talk sometimes and it brings us back to those early years. If we could only turn back time.
I am from Ballyhackett in Northern Ireland and I love this song, Georgia looks a lovely place to live.
Trisha sings this song so beautifully
GA is a very diverse state geographically and otherwise. It's home and it's beautiful, but so is Ireland. I've been twice but would love to return.
😊☺️😎
It is a wonderful place to live, and with many people of Irish heritage.
First time i heard this song was the day my mother passed away . After i got in my car i started it and this song came on i sat and listened to it .
And wow a flood of memory's came over me . Like most i have i have a love that got away . i hadn't lived in my home town for years so i for the first time in years drove around to all the places that meant something to me and of course her house !
I haven't seen her in years but thanks to this song it made a very sad day better and i will always think of her when i hear it .
So sorry... I lost my mother in 2001. Just hang on to those memories... it's hard but it gets easier. xx
yes it is... but at the same time.... you know
I did what they said could not be done
DO NOT F* WITH ME!
I am NOT why would you think I was?
I'll never for the life of me understand why this wasn't a number 1 song for her.not only does she choose great material.she has the ability to make the listener feel every ounce of emotion she puts into her music it's so beautiful.
I’m gonna visit Georgia one of these days. Walk the railroad tracks and visit old houses to get some amazing photos. One day! 😮😊
Jasper County still looks the same.
What is keeping you from visiting? I grew up there I miss a lot of things. You MUST try muscadine wine and listen to Georgia by Ray Charles.
@@firefighterd1265 cost! One day!
don't remember what was pounding more the heart in my chest or the hood of that ford......I can only wish to have that feeling again . Young love it was wonderful .
Yes I had somewhat the same kind of experience . In 1980 I've thought of it many times . Her and I broke up. In 82 and I saw when my father pasted in 96 . We didnt talk but man the feelings I felt I was 22 again I wish her well .
Zort-80
i know how you feel
Yes I know there's alot of us I should have married that woman its been over 30 years and I've thought of her so many times over those years . Wish I'd been more mature then but I did what I did so here I am . Wondering hope you do better Cliff
Zort-80 I was lucky, I met someone 25 years ago and we have been married ever since, but, I often wonder about angie, I hope all is well with her, and I hope she lived her dreams.
Cliff your luck I married once it lasted 20 years but my heart wasn't in it . So I sit and wonder about Sally and I do wish her the best she tryed but I was young and as a lot of young men thought I knew everything . Good luck to you my friend
Such a wonderful song and video!! I Miss country music like this!!
i do 2
I miss country like this as well. At least half of what's on country radio anymore doesn't even sound like country. Sounds like it should belong on another genre's station (i.e. pop, R&B). Don't get me wrong. Many of them are good songs, but they just aren't labeled right. Where has much of true, blue country music gone?
ScarlettCrystal2009 George Strait
I agree!
Me too. Real Country music 🎶
Nothing will ever top the memories I have of being blessed to grow up in Georgia. I can't wait to move back.

Georgia is a great place to travel through, and stay. Are you still doing such traveling?
I'm from Georgia. I lived in Monticello(Jasper County) for some time back in the late 70s and early 80s. I went back to visit a while back. Nothing much has changed. Pretty much still the same. This song makes me long for those days. She is one.of the best. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
It is really a wonderful walk down memory lane. Thanks for sharing.
The best she ever did. I could listen to that song all day. Her heart is in it and makes you think that she is living the words as she sings them.
A year ago I would have agreed with you. Now, I would posit "For The Last Time" is even better than "Georgia Rain", and that's in itself is a fantastic song.
She probably does relate to the lyrics to some degree..... she is from Monticello, so Georgia is her home state and has to have added that extra spark to her interpretation.
You can really see her revelling in the familiar sights and sounds of the Georgia countryside. Outstanding performance and video.
Takes me back to 1979....In my truck with the most beautiful girl in the whole world....She was the love of a lifetime....There is nothing more powerful than young love, real love....She left after 14 years together....I will never forget those days, they were the best days of my life.....
joe shmoe I'm in the same boat
I must say the same although ya know lol guess maybe it is
Joe mine was in 1980 i had 3 years with her we split up and i went out west and as the years passed i often thought of her . She was the love of my life and i often wonder if i'd stayed would we have gotten back together ! i will always wonder . I wish you well Joe
I fell you my man

this is how a song is supposed to be sang. she is the best female singer in the world!

So beautiful for the older generation brings back a lot of hot memories,keep them coming
Must be her best song ever - beautiful words, and what about that pedal steel guitar - knockout. Very moving and emotional.

Song written by Ed Hill and Karyn Rochelle. It was released in April 2005 as the lead-off single for her ninth studio album Jasper County. The song, her first Top 40 country hit since "Inside Out" in 2001, reached #15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Her husband, Garth Brooks, provides background vocals for the song. Yearwood debuted the single as a surprise performer at the 2005 CMT Music Awards, for which she received multiple standing ovations throughout her performance.
Hi Kayla how are you doing?
10 years ago... and still today I fall in love with this song.
Jasper County... so great album!
Ioannis Tsitlakidis Martín I agree. One of the best songs written and with an angel like Trisha singing....it is pure Heaven.
052970 agree 100%!
'Georgia Rain' (the album version, 5:08(!), not the single version, 4:15 - as the end is dialled down way too quickly) is my favourite country song.
The storytelling plays on my heartstrings, the song's simplicity lets Trisha's vocals shine, vocals that remind me of walking in the woods on a crisp autumnal morn, simply stunning.🧡
Words cannot describe how beautiful Trisha is and how beautiful her voice is.

Its been a few years since I listened to this performance...Trisha's phenomenal voice can still touch me where very few artists have ever gone! Listening to this song brings goosebumps, memories,smiles and tears...in seconds. I love this song...to this day!
I just think she is such a beautiful soul! She's never needed alot of makeup to be pretty! Her beauty shines through her face regardless!
Love this!🌻⚘
Hello there Shannan nice meeting you here
During our big family road trip down the East Coast in 2006--PA to Florida--JUST as we crossed the state line into Georgia in the middle of a downpour, Trisha Yearwood's "Georgia Rain" started to play.
*Randomly.* My iTunes playlist had been on shuffle.
I'll never forget staring around me at the red-tinged puddles and runoff streams as that song played. It was like we were in a bubble and time froze for 4 minutes and 13 seconds. Total silence in the car--everyone had chills. Tears.
It was uncanny, poetic, transformative. We had to stop at the first opportunity afterward to recover--but in a good way. I felt so vulnerable and so connected to everyone and everything around me.
Thank you for that experience, Trisha--and thank you, Georgia. ❤️
--Brandy in West Virginia
this is when country music was good
+randy ravivann AGREE!!!
+randy ravivann I know right!
Agreed!!! Wish she would come out with something new.
you so right
agreed!
I've always love this song and it had a great story behind it...
Brings back memories of being young, where did the years go
One of the best voices in Country Music! I miss hearing her
Hi Kay how are you doing?
Forgot about this beautiful song. Trisha at her best here along w/ St Cloud. You cannot beat those 80's and 90's videos, so we'll done.
Love St. Cloud.
I lived on the state lines of NC, TN and GA when this came out. It was so powerful for some reason, it really hit home to everyone that heard it. It seems we all had a story to share about love and rain. Nostalgic.
What a beautiful song n i loveTrisha Yearwood!!
Hi Joyce how are you doing?
I used to live in jeff Davis county in south Georgia from 1998 to 2005 and my and my two sisters would sing this song Everytime it came on tv. I miss them good old days, everything seemed simpler back then. One day i am planning on taking a trip back up to Georgia and when i do I'll be playing this song. Thank you Trisha yearwood for creating a beautiful song i enjoyed when i was a kid growing up in the 2000's
I lost my one true love a long, long time ago. Our lives went different ways, although we sorta stayed in touch over the years. But tonight, she came back to me -- and I kissed her for the first time since 1993. Never give up, never give in.... true love really does last forever.
I never will I hope to see her someday and I will tell her what a big mistake I made all those years ago ! And may everything work out for you my friend
Steve
Go get her! You're wasting good time!
If we could all have this kind of love!

Her voice, that song...it’s all we need. Lovely
great singer she hit this song right on brings back lots of old memories thank you trisha
Melvin Trumbo Never really liked Trish all that much but she hit this one about "What could have been" very perfectly and in a different way than "Strawberry Wine" did for Deana Carter. Just like you folks, it takes me back to 1980 and all the changes since then.. But some things never change... What could have been. And I got married for the first time in 2011. 40 years old. Took me that long to find the perfect one. And we walk dow n the street and everyone says we are so involve and we are. But i still remember the Georgia Rain....
You so right when I moved out of Georgia I moved on but she was never forgotten and I still like that song she was singing and I still like her Georgia rain
One of her most beautiful songs ! Brings back memories
@Sakik Patel Thank you very much for the kind words ☺️
I love this song. I'm a Georgia girl too. Love ya Trish...
Georgian rain, Georgia in my mind! Hello from Caucasian Georgia!🇬🇪❤️🇺🇸
My home. Monticello, GA. Beautiful song and shots of Monticello.
Loved Monticello. My great-grandparents lived just north of there, off of Liberty Church Road. Whenever I listen to this song, I always picture myself sitting on the front porch of their house, watching the rain. I can still smell the wet Georgia Red Clay and the sweetshrub.
When my great-granddad went into the nursing home, my parents took over the house and we lived there for a few years, until I moved in with my grandmother to take care of her, then I moved out on my own, and then my parents sold the house and moved to west Georgia, where we live now.
I have been through Monticello many times, and think about it still today. The town must have been for you to have grown up there. Do you still live there?
So many good memories. Watching the storm pass, stuck in the open air barn. Listening to the cattle, sheep and chickens that came in out of the rain. The smell of fresh cut baled hay always takes me back 35 years. ❤️
Nice comment hello karen how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
@@markanderson0022 Hi Robert William. 👋🏼
@@karenpayne2583 how are you doing,where are you from??
This artist came up while i was listening to Luke Brian and can i just say WOW!?! She is so amazing and while i still love modern country music she is so amazing and we need more people like her.
This artist???!!! Lol. Yes she is amazing...just wish she would come out with some new old school country. Enjoy!!
Trisha has been around for a very long time...
Tricia still seems modern to me but I call this the post modern era.She might be the best Female country singer ever but we all have different opinions on that. Anyway if you enjoy her stuff pull up her Discography on a search engine. That will let you know if she has anything new. Sadly once these artists hit 40 the radio acts like they are dead and stops promoting their music or their shows. And if she has anything new usually a tour will follow. But yes she is amazing.
She's working on recording a new album now. Word is she'll be touring again soon. Just finished up a three year tour in December with hubby, Garth.
Anna Hilton Luke Bryan sucks.
This has always been one of my favorites by her. I'm a Georgia girl myself so I can relate to this song. :)
How is this Georgia girl today? I hope that you are well. I am a Georgia "boy" lol. It is the best place for anyone to call home.

Hi Diane how are you doing?
So many can relate to this song. I would say that young love is the best...sweet innocence, the bliss, the dreams of a future...all yours for the taking. I fell in love with a blue-eyed boy at age 15. Our love was brief as teens, but I never forgot those blue eyes. He was gorgeous. After college we reconnected. Electrical. We went on to have 30 years of a good marriage. Young love is great. I would say it's the best, but oh it's those precious last years I wouldn't trade for even another cherished day of youth . We truly were one. We grew more in love with time. One evening we kissed good-night, said "I love you" as always, when suddenly he fell to the floor, dead of a heart attack. Only 52 years old with anticipation of us spending so much time together. His blue eyes still reflect in our beautiful grown sons. I will love him the rest of my life.
@@kellyray619 thank you dear. Yes. A forever love.
One of her Best songs.
This is such a beautiful voice and beautiful song.
beautiful song. really captures how teenage love feels.
I know exactly what you are saying. My first, and only, love was when I was 16, and she was almost there. Distance and circumstances got in our way, but I still love her more now, than ever.
I'm here because of Katie Basden from The Voice. I needed this 😘
Thank you for introducing me! So good

She should keep singing and making music of her on such a beautiful voice 💜
Georgia Rain...one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard...it gives me chills and warms me at the same time...I dont think anyone could sing this song near as beautiful as you Trisha. And you have a God given gift withh your voice...I love your cooking show too...but you arent on enough...try every day lol...Love you & Garth...ya'll stay safe...Okla.. girl here ❤
A sweet song. ♡ the Georgia rain. Been over an year since visiting. I'm going back this summer.
I never tire of this song. One of the most memorable of my time growing up
