Ronnie Dunn wrote this song from his own childhood.. and his voice and the story is just AWESOME... the world should be this way... basically just love your neighbor and understand everyone's ins and outs of small town life.. My fav lyrics... I can't quote the book, the chapter or the verse... but you can't tell me it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse... come on... That's powerful. And so is Ronnie Dunn's voice singing it... It's coming from his heart.
You are Quickly, Not slowly, Quickly becoming my favorite reactor! You’ve got a heart of gold man! This is one of the greatest songs ever written and one of the best videos ever!
Love your reactions Brooks and Dunn are one of the greatest country bands ever. Another great song is called " American Pie" it's about the death of some famous rock stars from the sixties. It's a classic by Don McLean.Thanks . Peace
Brooks and Dunn are a STELLAR country group. They don't MAKE bad music - they're all winners. This one is one of the very best - written about Ronnie Dunn's childhood friend. They also have a really FUN side as well. Check out the videos for Play Something Country and Boot Scootin Boogie.
This is one of the best faith based songs ever performed. Kudos to Brooks and Dunn for blessing us with these words and this song. It is very Beautiful and it touches you so deeply and no one can deny that fact.
I'm Sooo glad I'm GenX & watch reactions like this Growing up on Mabert Rd 70s, 80s 90s 2000.... Best neighbors ...best clubhouses and what I learned from the older ones then and caring about them like fam...I just don't see it very often .. kids can't even put their phones down long enough to eat .. just sad to me .....a 60 yr old man ed Poole taught me how to shoot basketball, his daughters showed me the love of soft ball and I played almost 20 yrs....lol great reaction
This is such a heartfelt reaction! You get it!!!! Thanks for that. I love this song and have heard it soooo many times, and cry every time! I believe! This is a true story about Ronnies childhood friend. Another true story that you will love, is by Craig Mogan titled "The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost". Craig is a 17 year Army Vet. When he came home from Afghanistan, he saved two children from a house fire, and then lost his son in a water rafting accident. This song is about losing his son. He has re-enlisted in the Army. This song will break your heart! It is raw and real. I hope you can see the video, taped at the Grand Ole Opry. Thanks much!
Ok. I JUST watched Johnson's 'In Color' reaction.. You said you weren't really a "Country Fan"... And now the next up is Country Platinum with Ronny & Kick 😂 My Son; i think you may be "Hooked" 😉 Welcome aboard the country train.. It's a fantastic ride 😀
Yes this song has some powerful meanings! This video showed that regardless your ethnicity, if you believe & love you do t see color! Someone once said hate is taught & Love sees no color! That white little boy had him a best friend In his life which happened to be a black man, saw nothing but a grown man who he loved! Such a wonderful song & video.
This is a beautiful song- I cry everytime I hear it. I want you to know I really enjoy your reactions- you talk about so much more then just which lyric is hard hitting. That’s important but you recognize the extremely talented vocals and you pick up the background music that I hear but don’t realize until you point it out. You’re very authentic as well. I wish you loads of success with your channel- I don’t know if you are a musician, but you know music. You’re super intelligent but relatable. I hope your channel goes crazy as people find you ❤
Thank you for reacting to this song. I needed this. On 11/7 my brother in law passed away suddenly at the age of 74. Been married to my sister for 48 years. On 11/17 my older brother passed away at 76. He and his wife married 56 years. This song reminds me to be grateful for both of those men. I know there is more to life than just what I can see and I BELIEVE!🙏
I’ve heard this song, many many times, and tear up every time…… Especially now that I’m older, and it won’t be too much longer before I will be going home myself😊
This is a true story!!! Ronny Dunn the singer had to do this in one take because he couldn’t handle the emotion of it! He NEVER performed this song live on tour!!
The humble and kind older man, taking the time to pass knowledge and wisdom to a young boy, and neither one seeing color. If only the world could be more like this. A wonderful song. Thank you Big Soul Shon, your commentary was beautiful and touching. I appreciate all your hard work.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Yep, it's a true story If you want another great song by Brooks and Dunn Try this song 🎵 The cost of living 🎵 > officials video < Keep the good work my friend ✌️ 👍🏻 👏 🙏
You are a blessing to watch on your reaction videos... I am a senior citizen and possibly I could have been your 7th grade English teacher many years ago You offer a personal reaction that shows some indepth thinking and connection to the lyrics. Your personality and smiles just fit with the reaction to new music. I would like to offer one suggestion.....you would look great in a white shirt and black tie and still able to offer your audience the same solid, geniune, heartfelt reaction 😢
Such a beautiful song with such a wholesome message. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Here's another one of their tunes, but this one is a bit more upbeat to give a listen, if interested. "Brooks & Dunn - Boot Scootin' Boogie (Official Video)" (by the channel: Brooks&Dunn) This was such a lovely reaction, Thank you so much for sharing. Peace out~
Shirtless Shon, thank GOD you had a tear!! I might have to seriously question the humanity of anyone who could make it through this song without choking up. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm an old Vietnam vet. A door gunner on choppers. My best buddy was a black guy named Earl. He got hit right next to me I tried to save him but he was gone. It's been 50 years and not a day goes by that Earl doesn't cross my mind. Life leaves us all with memories that never leave us.
THE MAN & THE LYRICS ... the story, the hearts and the emotions that have NO COLOR nor concepts - just caring. Always see the heart ... then the exterior simply won't matter !!! GBjj
I just love watching you and your soft soul listening to such fantastic music from before your time and watching you enjoy all kinds of different sounds! You are a gentle man and have such a great life ahead of you for being who you are! Stay sweet! ❤❤
I feel you, my wife and I had a similar story such as this. We would take a lonely man food and stop by to check on him. And to this day I regret I didn't spend more time just sitting with him and listening to his life story. Loved your reaction.
Hey, Kathy here - been a minute since I have seen a reaction from you. Been off the computer for a bit. Glad to see you doing this one. it is a tearjerker for sure. Can't beat anything Brooks and Dunn have released. A few favorites of mine are Boot Scootin Boggie, Neon Moon, really anything they have released. And yes, Ronnie Dunn has an amazing voice and could sing the phone book and make it sound great! And as others have said, this is a true story of his life. Thanks for your reaction. And just know, it's OK to shed a tear when the feels hit you. I don't know if you have reacted to Carrie Underwood featuring Vince Gill sing How Great Thou Art. OMG, talk about a Hymn that is a classic, and boy she did such an amazing job. It will put you in the feels as well. Stay blessed!
I loved your reaction ❤ this is the type of reaction I always hope people have when they hear this song! We are all human, we bleed the same blood.. the fact that you got emotional just says YOU CARE! ❤ THANK YOU
It's the lyrics for me. I had an Uncle Willie that taught me more wisdom than anyone . Not crazy about the "chocolate brother" because it's so much more than that. Kinda funny story, Uncle Wille had a very quiet, gentle voice and one day at church he was leading closing prayer. A deacon leaned over and whispered, "speak louder". Uncle Willie stopped his prayer and said, "I wasn't talking to you".😢

This is one of my favorite songs and seeing someone watch it for the first time gets me right in the feels. We need God now more than ever! ❤
Yes we do. Revelation 21:3-5
One of the most moving songs ever written!! Yes, the old man is real and he was Ronnie Dunn’s neighbor
Not true, Ronnie was co writer on a friend's song
@@michaelbiggs2238do you feel better?🙄
You are Quickly, Not slowly, Quickly becoming my favorite reactor! You’ve got a heart of gold man! This is one of the greatest songs ever written and one of the best videos ever!
It’s as simple as surrendering disbelief and saying, “I Believe.” God will take it from there.
This is what we call country soul. This is a true story of Ronnie Dunne's childhood
100%
Oh wow I didn’t know that. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏼🙏🏻. Love this I cry every time I hear it.❤️

Amen brother, you got it. The words in red are the words of Christ. ❤ Amazing reaction
I’m not much into country either but you said it “his voice is a soul that you just can’t get in most genres” Chris Stapleton also gets to me
This is one of the best faith based songs ever performed. Kudos to Brooks and Dunn for blessing us with these words and this song. It is very Beautiful and it touches you so deeply and no one can deny that fact.
I'm impressed that a person your age knows about the words written in red. God bless you! It's okay to cry. ♥
Beautiful simply beautiful. Hits you in the heart and soul. I think there were alot of people who cried to this song

Yes Shon..This is based on a true story..The lead singer of this duo, Brooks & Dunn is Ronnie Brooks..This is based on his own personal story.
Such a beautiful song with such a wholesome message. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Here's another one of their tunes, but this one is a bit more upbeat to give a listen, if interested. "Brooks & Dunn - Boot Scootin' Boogie (Official Video)" (by the channel: Brooks&Dunn) This was such a lovely reaction, Thank you so much for sharing. Peace out~
This song gets me everytime - love how you knew what he was referencing about the words written in red ❤
One of the most impactful songs in my life. Your energy is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your reactions with us
Such a beautiful story, and so beautifully portrayed through music/song.❤❤
Respect brother dor not being afraid to keep it real...real men so cry!!! Words written n red!
It was Dunns friendship. This is respect to our older generations. This is what's lacking in today's generations.
The lead singer Ronnie said in a interview that this was based on something that happened to him when he was younger
Love your heart, true story. I cried along with you and I have heard this 100 times. If you believe and you have a soul it touches you. Love to you
Shirtless Shon, thank GOD you had a tear!! I might have to seriously question the humanity of anyone who could make it through this song without choking up. ❤️❤️❤️
That's one of the best lines in country music.. "You can't tell me it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse.."
You are making a difference in this world.
Bringing us together with music.
Well done sir!
I'm an old Vietnam vet. A door gunner on choppers. My best buddy was a black guy named Earl. He got hit right next to me
I tried to save him but he was gone. It's been 50 years and not a day goes by that Earl doesn't cross my mind. Life leaves us all with memories that never leave us.
Im so sorry for your loss of a brother. God Bless you
Thanks
True story. Pure Love. Awesome!
He was also a youth director in his church I believe.
This song is so powerful. Gets me in my feels every time. Great reaction. I just subscribed! Thank you!
You should react to Brooks and Dunn's Only In America. Phenomenal song and superbly sung.
What a moving song based on a true story in Ronnie Dunn’s life.
Dude….great reaction…..your energy is amazing
The singer had his own Mr. Wrigley growing up this song is based on him ❤ great reaction
❤😊 I saw these guys live last summer. Everyone in the crowd was emotional ❤😊
THE MAN & THE LYRICS ... the story, the hearts and the emotions that have NO COLOR nor concepts - just caring. Always see the heart ... then the exterior simply won't matter !!! GBjj

Great honest reaction man. Welcome to the greatest story telling genre of Country music❤❤

They did another version of this song in an old church house with a full blown choir and it will blow you away!
I believe this is a true story from Dunn❤ BEAUTIFUL
I love you Shon! Your soul is so large. Gotta see what you do every day. You raise me up! Thank You!
From my understanding the frontman Ronny this was written about when he was kid so it's a true story.
If you like this you should hear Ronnie Dunn sing "!!You don't know me. " It will blow your mind!
This song is based on The vocalist Ronnie Dunn growing up without a father and this old man and him became good friends,wonderful story.
This was always one of my dad‘s favorite songs. He died a year ago tomorrow and we played this for his funeral. It holds a special place in my heart!
The message and so many of us that are now adults have had a Mr Wrigley. Exact colors too. God is good!
I feel you, my wife and I had a similar story such as this. We would take a lonely man food and stop by to check on him. And to this day I regret I didn't spend more time just sitting with him and listening to his life story. Loved your reaction.
