I married my beautiful wife to this song. It was the 1st time I had heard it, while we were getting married in a lil chapel in the mountains after only knowing each other for 3 months and dating 1 month of those 3. More than 10 years ago now and a beautiful son later we are still together. I tear up everytime I hear this song. Thank you Father for your blessings.
Got married to my soulmate to this song in May.We were apart for 28 years, reunited in 2020.Happily married in 2022!Have loved this woman since 1992, will love her till my last breath!
Oh so special. I thought I had a soulmate that I have loved for forty+ years. But my fairytale was only a dream. I love your story and hope you have many happy years together
I absolutely cried, again. Wen Bryan Adams put this out it was so special in my life. It still is, with the same girl, for over 35yrs. Thanks for bringing it back Jason
My soulmate is in Heaven. Will I have another chance here on earth with another love, no one can replace him. He was a great and generous person and a Christian. He was everything I prayed for. He was was what I asked God to send me and I waited for him to come in my life. We were married 26 years. A massive heart attack took him from me. My life was forever changed. It has been 5 and a half years since I lost the man who treated everyone with kindness and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. We had two gardens spring and fall on each side of our driveway. He would deliver produce to the elderly and widows and widowers. Produce was given to our meals on wheels at our church. He worked a full time job and hired teenagers to keep the garden up. These teenagers who worked for use throughout the years where at the funeral and some were pallbearers. My husband was these teenagers first employer and gave them advice and gave them remarks on their resume.
May God give you the strenth,acceptance and understanding. In saying that,you are so strong. I am facing a major mental health crisis that only my hubs knows how to handle,complex. I worry of this everyday. May God bless you sweetheart
So sorry for your loss and God bless! God also sent my Tkay to me in 2012, married in 2013 at 47 years old 🙏 God blessed the broken roads in our case 🙏
Omg I heard your version with Bryan Adams’s and I danced alone in my living room u hope I can have my heaven with whom ever that may be. God knows my heat and may it just be ❤❤😊😅
It seems that anything Jason does is simply golden...some of the most incredible and most talented musicians have been able to give us the best music ever
l agree with you, indeed Jason Aldean is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days
It’s not often you hear a remake of a song that has a different sound, but turns out as good as the original. Just a well written song that if taken to heart can be performed by the right artist. Jason Aldean nailed it.
Been with my baby for 40 years. Lord I don’t know how we ain’t killed each other yet here we are. To all those out there doing what ever it takes holding the family together!!! God bless and praying for you all! ❤❤❤
I swear anybody saying underrated on TH-cam should instantly be banned. Jason Aldean has been crushing radio and country for a decade, sold millions of albums, platinum records, worth hundreds of millions but please tell me he's underrated again.
@@cosmo5102hes over rated. This is his only good song and it's not even his. I'm just here listening to the good one because of all the try that in a small town. That's a shit song and not talking on a ethical or moral standpoint.
@@mattkirk5030 I would not think so as there are videos of Jason and Bryan singing this together as well DJ Sammy released a version of this song in the mid 2000's , think 2006 or so.. Please don't quote me , age is creeping up. For what ever reason Jason hit it out of the ball park as always...
@@cathydempsey1630 I thought I was the only one who would remember DJ Sammie's version! It was good, of course this is better. I do like his live version where he's singing a little softer. Except where he belts out that line closer to the end. But both are great.
This song has always been so amazing to me. Bryan Adam's is and incredible singer. My husband just found this version and started tearing up. Knowing you have so much love for one another is such a beautiful blessing. I am so thankful for my husband. Great job Jason.
Great job on this cover song Jason Aldean! some songs mean more than others ..... please look out for the Homeless sad to see so many out on the street's. Jesus Lives searches the inner most heart of man.
l agree with you, indeed Jason Aldean is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul..
Better than the original.. which is not fair to say .. nor be possible without the original.. But I have listened to this songs 15 times ..in a row... Onto 16...
l agree with you, indeed Jason Aldean is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days

The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity. No one is guaranteed another day on this Earth. I'd like to share my best friend's story with anyone who will listen. Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day. My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own. As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night. That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no. However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed.... Still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word. He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) He understood he could not pay the price for his sins. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood - because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God - so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan - and you and I - would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today? The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow! Put your faith in Jesus alone - today! “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2) "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14 " Thou shalt be missed- Tribute to Ethan Lakey" th-cam.com/video/RZ-jG6MkZJM/w-d-xo.html
I waited for my Soulmate for over 30 years...been married 2 other times but nothing compares to the love I have found with my husband Mike and I know in my heart I'm truly loved and we will be together til the end...we've been married since September 2, 2017...Jason has made this his song and it's Absolutely Beautiful 💖💖💖
My dream is coming true a dream I never thought would be possible and I will thank God everyday the blessing this man being in my life and I will spend the rest of my life making him smile and returning the love he shows for me I will show also I love you my sexy cowboy
Jay Aldean is the darkness (as in black and black leathers) that absorbs all that bright light instead of refracting it! Yea! Fucking awesomectacular men's black leather jacket, black leather cowboy hat and black leather cowboy boots on Aldean! Great style for a cowboy!
Jason, I heard that song from Bryan Adams on the radio this morning at work. But you sound SO much better . Good job Buddy . Even my House Manager Lucy LOVES you ❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥
Jason, I told my House Manager Lucy that you were coming back to Buffalo with Brantley Gilbert and Sara Evans in June of 2025. She said WHAT? I said it's true. I forgot to tell her that they gave away tickets yesterday morning. Oops. !!!!!. Anyway. Welcome aboard. Hope you have fun when you come in June.
Keep God's Covenant deny fear pain sickness disease say God heald my family I now hallelujah God is the air my family is saints while I'm away happy to see me walk in faith with God say no u can't covet my family hell no
To cover a truly classic song is ballsy, and not usually in a smart way. I didn't know about this song when I downloaded Macon and started listening to it at work today. When this song started and it hit me, I stopped working and stared at iTunes in disbelief until the last note. That was a country song. He respected it fully, and did it justice. Far beyond justice, he did an incredible job, making it the country music equivalent of Heaven's perfection that Bryan once achieved. Kudos sir.
l agree with you, indeed Jason Aldean is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days
The love of my life Csmgt Allen Tetreault is in heaven at age 49. We loved this song and i will hear it again by his side when we are rejoined in "Heaven" beautiful rendition. Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean an fam ..thanks for your songs over the last 17 yrs bc when I think Jason Aldean automatically I think of my husband who.

I absolutely cried, again. Wen Bryan Adams put this out it was so special in my life. It still is, with the same girl, for over 35yrs. Thanks for bringing it back Jason
My soulmate is in Heaven. Will I have another chance here on earth with another love, no one can replace him. He was a great and generous person and a Christian. He was everything I prayed for.

I think both sound great 💋💖✌🤘🎸🎶🎤😁

he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and

beautiful days
Amen honey absolutely right
I'm single but this song is hitting me in my heart and I cannot stop crying oh my God Jason gave this song Justice I love this song even more now
This song is actually by Brian Adam’s, but Jason does a fantastic job singing it!
From the first words came out of his mouth, I knew I would love this version....and I freaging absolutely love it 10000000000000000
This was my wife and I wedding song! All he had then was the live version I'm glad he recorded this! Great job
It’s not often you hear a remake of a song that has a different sound, but turns out as good as the original. Just a well written song that if taken to heart can be performed by the right artist. Jason Aldean nailed it.
Are you talking about Kane's version?
Amen brother
@@JaydenPlaysMusic Kane browns version is not the same song lol. Bryan Adam’s did this song before
You heard Disturbed’s cover of “The Sound of Silence” live on Conan? Fn UNREAL.
@@thestreetwisepodcast they have a cover of it and it’s awesome
Been with my baby for 40 years. Lord I don’t know how we ain’t killed each other yet here we are. To all those out there doing what ever it takes holding the family together!!! God bless and praying for you all! ❤❤❤
I saw Jason in September & was blown away by his performance. The sound quality was off the charts!
Doesn't suprise me he nailed " Heaven"
Bryan Adam's version is amazing and special. Yours is so well put together and the country riffs are perfect!! Thanks!!
And DjSammy Yanou ft Do - Heaven
So much talent in this man. He is so underrated
Hello there Priscilla nice meeting you here
I think so too . He doesn't over sing the song. Or any song I've heard him do . Very good in my opinion.
Jason Aldean is not underrated...

The most important decision you will ever make is where you will spend eternity. No one is guaranteed another day on this Earth. I'd like to share my best friend's story with anyone who will listen.
Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey
We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day.
My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own.
As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night.
That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no.
However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed.... Still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word.
He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
He understood he could not pay the price for his sins.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood - because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God - so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan - and you and I - would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today?
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow! Put your faith in Jesus alone - today!
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14
" Thou shalt be missed- Tribute to Ethan Lakey"

Yes! Absolutely love this! You can feel the emotions in your vocals! Absolute 🔥!
Jay Aldean is the darkness (as in black and black leathers) that absorbs all that bright light instead of refracting it! Yea!
Fucking awesomectacular men's black leather jacket, black leather cowboy hat and black leather cowboy boots on Aldean! Great style for a cowboy!
Im still waiting to be loved by someone that makes me feel that the lyrics from a love song was written just for me. Maybe in my next life,
This is my favorite version
Hello there Heather nice meeting you here
You kill it every time! One of my favorite all time songs and you’ve made it even more special❤️ You are an amazing artist❤️
Jason, I heard that song from Bryan Adams on the radio this morning at work. But you sound SO much better . Good job Buddy . Even my House Manager Lucy LOVES you ❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥💓❤💕💗💖♥
Jason Aldean is an amazing song writer and singer I will forever love him and his music speaks to my soul plus what a beautiful ❤️ song.
Jason, I hope you have fun when you come to Buffalo tonight with Gabby Barrett.
Jason, I told my House Manager Lucy that you were coming back to Buffalo with Brantley Gilbert and Sara Evans in June of 2025. She said WHAT? I said it's true. I forgot to tell her that they gave away tickets yesterday morning. Oops. !!!!!. Anyway. Welcome aboard. Hope you have fun when you come in June.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
Bought time. 🥰🥰 yeah!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Hello 👋 👋👋👋👋
Hello beautiful how are you doing today?
You do this song way way way better than the original. Gives new meaning to the song lyrics. Love.
Love Aldean but no way better than the OG Bryan Adams! Let’s agree to disagree!
I think doing a cover of such an iconic song is always difficult., but Jason does a stand up job.
Keep God's Covenant deny fear pain sickness disease say God heald my family I now hallelujah God is the air my family is saints while I'm away happy to see me walk in faith with God say no u can't covet my family hell no
Ryan good song
To cover a truly classic song is ballsy, and not usually in a smart way. I didn't know about this song when I downloaded Macon and started listening to it at work today. When this song started and it hit me, I stopped working and stared at iTunes in disbelief until the last note. That was a country song. He respected it fully, and did it justice. Far beyond justice, he did an incredible job, making it the country music equivalent of Heaven's perfection that Bryan once achieved. Kudos sir.
Is it bad I wish I could get this on cassette ??? 😂
Nope
🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻
cassette what are you stuck in the 80's lol
@@usnveteran4245 yes
definitely not😂
My Girl and I Love this song and we vowed to go see Jason Aldean soon! This artist has seriously helped us love each other. Simply amazing music!
Dam dude you the man.....great. 80's brother.....
It is a nice song I can sing the whole thing
