Craig had recently lost his 19 year old son in a boating accident, so it took a lot of courage to get up in front of an audience and share a song he wrote out of his pain.
After this performance at the Opry, someone back stage told him what a great song and performance that was. He said he would never sing it again, it was so hard on him. Ricky Skaggs told him he needs to sing it again to help others going thru the same thing. Gob Bless Craig Morgan!
@SamanthaLisa great reaction just sub’d. Craigs son had just recently passed away in a tragic boating accident. This was first time he performed this song when Blake Shelton told him the world needed to hear this. The courage of Craig to perform this is unbelievable. Please react to his performance at the Grand Ole Opry with Jelly Roll. It’s very recent. Of course Craig singing it alone if much better but this was a special moment performance to Craig’s song “Almost Home”. Please watch until the end is very powerful at the end after the song is over. Thanks friend.
We lost our son 39 year old son 6 months ago and Craig Morgan singing this song is how Ifeel and feeling his pain also. A pain I wish on no one ever. We take it one day at a time now and enjoy the gifts of 2 grandson's and a 6 year old granddaughter our son left us. We love him and them so much. When we have them our son is so close to us more than normal. RIP dude Mom and Pops love you very much. One day we will be together again with The Father and The Holy Ghost.
He's a great artist. Sensitive and honest in all of his videos. Try "This ain't nothing" and "What I like about Sunday". and "Almost home". Great country music.
He woke in the middle of the night with this song in his heart. He thought I will write it tomorrow but then realized he had to write it then. By 7 that morning he had the song you heard. Blake Shelton encouraged all his fans to listen to the song and even appeared with him on the Kelly Clarkson talk show. This Ain't Nothin' and Tough.
Us country fans love seeing reactors cry to country songs, genuine reaction and understanding is what we're looking for ❤️ Wonderful reaction and welcome to true country music
I’ve only listened to this song a thousand times…and I’ve gotten tearful every single time. Semper Fi Craig and family! Thanks for your service to our country, musically and by serving in the US Army!!! Bless your heart, my brother in arms!
He lost his son a few years ago in a boating accident. This was his very first time performing it, and they say he walked off state and said he was never doing it again. But the outpour of support, and people who had been through similar things losing children... the song took on an even more powerful meaning so he has continued to perform it.
The first time I saw him perform this, he almost didn’t make it through to the end. He had to stop and gain some composure to finish the song. He was performing live at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, and it really tore at my heartstrings
Never apologize for being authentic! I love you Samantha and appreciate your genuine heartfelt empathy. It will touch many people and do good! Thank you for reacting. So very sorry for the pain and grief you are going through. Sending you love and prayers from a Home Free Home Fry in South Georgia, USA ♥️🙏🍟
After this, I highly recommend watching Jelly Roll's first performance at the Grand Ole Opry.. He tells a story before he performance. Then watch another performance where he performs a song called "Almost Home" with Craig Morgan.. It's a great moment, especially if you watched the first video I mentioned.
How can a person ever listen to this song without crying?! I’ve loved it since the first time I heard when it was released to radio here in the US. God bless him for pouring his pain into such a beautiful song.
Very beautiful voice on the TH-camr subscribed immediately within 20 seconds because the fact that she does only first time reactions which I think is super cool and original
Craig just recently re-enlisted in the Army Reserves. I love this song. Since April 2021, I have lost both of my remaining uncles (started with 6 uncles when I was a kid), my youngest sister, and my daddy. It has been rough, but I keep going ... knowing I will be reunited with all of them one day.
I can really really appreciate your honesty and emotions to this song . Craig was successful in conveying his emotions thru this song to you. The power of music is amazing. You have a beautiful heart.
Love craig as a fellow army vet he is my brother n i feel so bad for him. If i lost eother of my kids it would break me. A good story song is Hardy Wait in the Truck
Every time I see this video I cry through the whole song….I always get that lump in my throat. This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard….You did great…..Don’t ever apologize for how you feel……I just subscribed to your channel….Judy D from NY State❤
Love your empathy and heartfelt reaction. Bless you sweetie. For more beautifully moving songs by Craig Morgan may I suggest “Tough” about a woman fighting cancer, “Almost Home” about faith, and “What I Love About Sundays” about country life on a Sunday, and so many more. Peace ✌🏻
Samantha, your reaction is the same reaction millions around the world felt when watching this video. It shows your humanity and your ability to feel the pain he has from losing his son. Take care and greetings from Texas.
@SamanthaLisa, I'm 58 and this song in particular brings me to tears every time. No shame in showing your tears. Country music can and will do so because the stories are so relatable. God Bless
He has a song called "Paradise" about his time in he military that doesnt get played much but its one of my favorite. I did 21 years in the army as a combat medic with a few deployments, couple to Iraq and did a couple years in Central America, I used to listen to it all the time.
God bless you for allowing yourself to really listen and feel the impact of this powerful tune. I've spent a good bit of time with Craig . . . and he is a truly wonderful and inspiring man. Thanks for the truly heartfelt reaction.
I can't imagine anyone wondering, let alone admonishing(?) you for being moved to tears! It just shows, as you say, that you're human; and I can see that you're very empathetic, that's a blessing, a gift.. certainly not something to be seen as a sign of weakness.🤗 I've listened to and loved Craig Morgan's music since he arrived in Country music. I came to not only appreciate his songwriting and his powerful, moving voice, but also genuinely respect & admire the person he is! You wouldn't believe how much he's aged since losing his son, or perhaps you would believe it, as it's not surprising when you experience about the worst loss I think there is.. Still, he continues on, helping others, involved with charities and is just so beloved. He is as inspiring as the songs he writes and sings. 😊💗
Como estas ! I'm Jerry and I'm a songwriter. Country music is kind of like gospel music but a little more hometown. I like the old gospel I like the new gospel but some people don't like the new gospel cuz it's too upbeat for their taste. But if you're praising God you should like it all. But everybody has their preferences. God bless you young lady. And not everybody that claims they wrote songs for Sony records are actually the songwriters they steal their songs and promote them as if someone else wrote them. A lot of people don't know that I wrote this song for Craig Morgan. All the songs I wrote I wrote them for other people to sing on stage. I'm disabled. And I've been through a lot of pain so it comes out in my songs. But the love I have for Jesus also comes out in my songs I'm a Christian and I'm saved. And I won't be completely healed until I get home and home is in heaven with the Lord
Because of his unfortunate circumstances, God guide him with a message for us all to relate and understand. Appreciate your reaction and love the message on your sweater.
Miss Samantha, Would you also PLEASE show these 2 music videos: 1)Trace Adkins Muddy Water, 2)SANDY PARKER singing “A Baby Changes Everything”, please?
Another true story by a Country singer Brooks and Dunn "I believe" is a story about his childhood. I think you'll enjoy it. Do the official music video version.
But it also tells the still-raw and tender story of how, in July 2016, he and his wife Karen, 54, lost their son Jerry - the second oldest of their four children - who drowned while tubing on Kentucky Lake with friends. He was 19
I'm also known as the prophet Waylon. It refers to me in the Constitution but it's the last line like an afterthought. Sony records has treated me like an afterthought. They've never paid me for my songs and God's wrath will be on them if they don't make that right.!!!!!!!!
There’s a song that you should listen to that has helped me with the loss of loved ones. “Scars in Heaven” by Casting Crowns. If you decide not to react, that’s ok but please give it a listen, although I think others might be helped by your reaction. Love your reaction and have just subscribed. Thank you 🙏👍
Never apologize for your feelings and expressing them. This song destroys me every time I hear it because I lost my son when he was 21 years old. It is the worst pain in the world so I know what he was going through. A song that might help you with the loss of your grandparents is I Will See You Again by Carrie Underwood. I hope it gives you peace. Perhaps you can react to it to share with others who have felt loss. I’m sorry for your pain
Just came across your channel. I will tell don't apologize for showing emotion. This song and story breaks everyone. But music in general should make you feel something, happy, sad, mad, like dancing something. If it doesn't then you need to stop listening
Would you fellow viewers PLEASE pray for our son and daughter-in-law, she was 3 months pregnant but yesterday(Wednesday May 24,2023) she started bleeding and they got to the OB/GYN office, but she had a miscarriage. Our son said that when they got home later in the day that they explained to their daughter what had happened, and since then, our son said that his wife crawled into bed and has not spoken since. My husband and I back in March 1994 suffered through a miscarriage, and the heartbreaking pain is still with us today, BUT just as the song by The Greene’s “Jesus Has A Rocking Chair” says, our baby and our son and his wife’s baby are being held in HIS loving arms.
Don't be embarrassed with how long it took you to come to appreciate country music. I was born and raised in Nashville, the home of country music, and even had a grandfather who played fiddle in the Grand Ole Opry, yet I grew up nearly despising country music. I'm in my late 50's now and didn't really begin to appreciate country music until 10-15 years ago. Now that is embarrassing.

The song, without knowing the "why" of the lyrics, is incredible! Knowing the "why" ?! Well, that's just everything, the heart!!!
I'm a 60 year old rancher. If your eyes are dry for this song, you need Jesus.

Also, This ain't nothin and tough,
Craig Morgan is a true American. God bless Craig Morgan and his family. He's an awesome singer. Heart of Gold
This song makes me cry every time!! Makes me thankful that I haven’t been through this personally!
Red Sovine's Teddy Bear is another tear jerker.
He's a decorated soldier who loves his family and God. He's a phenomenal singer. He's slowly healing from.his lost. He has a lot of sons out there.
👏👏👏👏👏

Another beautiful reaction to another legend. You're a very welcome edition to our country world, Ma'am. Come on in!✝️🇺🇲🤠
Bless you for your reaction to this very emotional song. I would add This Ain't Nothing to your list of Craig Morgan songs. Take care, and God bless!
Best version,wow it hits home everytime

But the outpour of support, and people who had been through similar things losing children... the song took on an even more powerful meaning so he has continued to perform it.
that note at the end really hits you in the feels.
The first time I saw him perform this, he almost didn’t make it through to the end. He had to stop and gain some composure to finish the song. He was performing live at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, and it really tore at my heartstrings
This is that performance, I believe. Or I know this was the first time he performed it and originally planned on it being the only time.
Never apologize for being authentic! I love you Samantha and appreciate your genuine heartfelt empathy. It will touch many people and do good! Thank you for reacting. So very sorry for the pain and grief you are going through. Sending you love and prayers from a Home Free Home Fry in South Georgia, USA ♥️🙏🍟

It's simply raw emotion.
It is so good to see a young lady that has some class. You have made a old lady as a fan.
Very beautiful voice on the TH-camr subscribed immediately within 20 seconds because the fact that she does only first time reactions which I think is super cool and original
You would really enjoy Vince Gill singing "Go Rest High On That Mountain"
Craig just recently re-enlisted in the Army Reserves. I love this song. Since April 2021, I have lost both of my remaining uncles (started with 6 uncles when I was a kid), my youngest sister, and my daddy. It has been rough, but I keep going ... knowing I will be reunited with all of them one day.
I can really really appreciate your honesty and emotions to this song . Craig was successful in conveying his emotions thru this song to you. The power of music is amazing. You have a beautiful heart.
It shows that you have a heart when you cry don’t ever let any body tell you why are you crying it shows that you care
He is one of the best voices in all of country music
Your reaction touched me deeply...62 year old former hard ass marine from south carolina..
I just came across your video and you are a beautiful, caring person. ❤️
Love craig as a fellow army vet he is my brother n i feel so bad for him. If i lost eother of my kids it would break me. A good story song is Hardy Wait in the Truck

Great reaction beautiful lady such a beautiful song
Great reaction ! Love your accent ! Yes country songs will make you cry but it’s real life in a song !
He has a song called "Paradise" about his time in he military that doesnt get played much but its one of my favorite. I did 21 years in the army as a combat medic with a few deployments, couple to Iraq and did a couple years in Central America, I used to listen to it all the time.

May God Bless your heart honey!!! You have a beautiful soul...Amen
What a powerful moving spiritual song. Great job, Craig.
Absolutely beautiful...your reaction is pure ...❤ Thank you for sharing this with us.x🙏
If you can watch this this performance without a tear showing up in your eye, you’re most likely a vampire
This always makes me cry too. Good music can do that to you. ❤️
You should react to "This Ain't Nothing" by Craig Morgan. Beautiful song
You’re a very sweet thoughtful kid, best of everything to you. Listen to Almost Home by him, wonderful song.
Great vocals. Beautiful message. This is called Gospel music, which can use various styles, but are always Christian centered.
Uncle Sam..... he was a soldier in the 101st and 82nd airborne division during Panama
Very nice review. To review such an emotional song isn't something most people would do. Good job :}
You should React to his, (This ain't nothing.)... Another tearful song.... Thanks!!!
Because of his unfortunate circumstances, God guide him with a message for us all to relate and understand. Appreciate your reaction and love the message on your sweater.
Craig has some great songs… and some great upbeat songs to check out too:)
Miss Samantha, Would you also PLEASE show these 2 music videos: 1)Trace Adkins Muddy Water, 2)SANDY PARKER singing “A Baby Changes Everything”, please?
You've got those dream girl looks.
Love this, for another style of country music, try Toby Keith "as good as I once was". You may cry but it'll be tears of laughter!
Another true story by a Country singer Brooks and Dunn "I believe" is a story about his childhood. I think you'll enjoy it. Do the official music video version.
Not a true story. Get facts right.
She has reacted to it already.
But it also tells the still-raw and tender story of how, in July 2016, he and his wife Karen, 54, lost their son Jerry - the second oldest of their four children - who drowned while tubing on Kentucky Lake with friends. He was 19
Samantha. It got me too.
He has only sang it live a few times (this is the first). He is trying (because he knows it helps others), but it is very painful for him.
You should watch the official video, it will break your heart.
Another must see is official video of James Blunt Monsters.
I'm also known as the prophet Waylon. It refers to me in the Constitution but it's the last line like an afterthought. Sony records has treated me like an afterthought. They've never paid me for my songs and God's wrath will be on them if they don't make that right.!!!!!!!!
COUNTY MUSIC ALWAYS HAS A STORY.
Please react to I was Almost Home
He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones is another good one.
Stay by Sugarland
I'm a vet, a husband, father and grandfather. I know the story and I never get through this song dry-eyed.
There’s a song that you should listen to that has helped me with the loss of loved ones. “Scars in Heaven” by Casting Crowns. If you decide not to react, that’s ok but please give it a listen, although I think others might be helped by your reaction. Love your reaction and have just subscribed. Thank you 🙏👍
I remember watching this performance live on tv. its a hard one to listen to. He put all his stenght into that perfomance.
How did you do it? I am crying ugly tears.
Bee Gees Too Much Heaven
Love your sweetheart
If this song don't light your fire, your wood is wet!
Love it! You should check out "68" by Noland Taylor. He's so good I promise!!
Never apologize for your feelings and expressing them. This song destroys me every time I hear it because I lost my son when he was 21 years old. It is the worst pain in the world so I know what he was going through. A song that might help you with the loss of your grandparents is I Will See You Again by Carrie Underwood. I hope it gives you peace. Perhaps you can react to it to share with others who have felt loss. I’m sorry for your pain
If you don’t cry after listening to this you don’t have a heart.
You should do randy travis three wooden crosses
wow
Please do Reba's song "Fancy"
Western music has it's origins from the Spanish culture, check out some Marty Robbins. Country music comes more from Scottish influence
Just came across your channel. I will tell don't apologize for showing emotion. This song and story breaks everyone. But music in general should make you feel something, happy, sad, mad, like dancing something. If it doesn't then you need to stop listening

101st Airborne vet
If this doesn’t hit the feels then you have no heart or soul
I guess we are both human coz I sooked up too
HE WAS AT the top of his game. then tragedy hapenend
Craig Morgan lost his 19-year-old son, Jerry, on July 10, 2016, when he drowned in a tubing accident
Art should be judged by the emotions it evokes. Country music is a genre that that unapologetically tugs at your feelings.
Have a listen to Johnny Cash singing “Man in White”.
Try Chris Young - Drowning
U should of done the actual music video
