Congratulations! Like others have already said, you are among the 2% of reactors that actually get this story/song correct. When this song came out in 1980 EVERYONE knew exactly what the story was. I don’t know why people can’t figure it out today. Maybe we looked at love and marriage differently back then. Nowadays people get married almost expecting it to fail. That’s a sad way to go into a “lifetime” commitment.
Common sense has disappeared.
I agree. I understood exactly what the song meant the first time I heard it.
I will concede that I knew what it means to place a wreath upon his door so that would be an advantage over people unaware of that custom.
It still shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
I know what you mean. A few years ago I ran into an old friend. He told me he was married, had a couple of kids. Through the conversation, he said his next wife had to have a certain quality. I said oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were unhappy and going through a divorce. He laughed and said he was perfectly happy and not going through a divorce. He said I couldn't expect him to stay with the same woman for more than a few years. Confused, we said our goodbyes, but it always bothered me what he said. Recently ran into him again, and true to his word, he had a new wife and two more kids. He's still fairly young, I don't doubt he will have more new wives before he is done.
I just don't understand it. I didnt know anyone that didn't get it when it cane out. Have people really lost that in 44 years? I mean I was 13 years old, it's not like I was a wise old man or something.
It’s not that they look at love differently it’s that they apparently can’t comprehend simple English. Country songs are pretty straightforward. The use of symbolism occurs but sparsely. This is a gripping and obvious song which is exactly why it’s so damn sad. How so many reactors miss this is stunning. This is a tragic love song made even sadder by the brilliance of George Jones voice and delivery. A legend and the greatest country song of all time. Bravo to this reactor.
The greatest sad love song, there will ever be.
Amen!
The legendary country singer Waylon Jennings said, "If we could all sing like we wanted, we would all sing like George Jones.". Its also been said that when George sings the audience cries, the band cries and the roof leaks. So glad you gave the song the attention and respect it deserves, thank you. Great reaction.
Inna, you are one of the only reactors that have gotten the correct interpretation of this song. (We place a wreath on the door when there's a death in the house.
At the beginning of the song, she left him. And she told him he would forget her in time. He pined for her his entire life. He never got over her and never moved on. He never received the love he needed because he was so hung up on the one that got away. So it’s even more sad than you think.
Thumbs up to you.
It's the wreath that confuses many people.
Yes, it's a funeral. Well done.
He's finally at peace.
They placed a wreath upon his door because that's what they do in some regions when a person dies. It's like a tradition at funerals.
Legend has it, that after recording the spoken word part, he said disgustedly :" Nobody's going to buy this morbid son of a bitch!"
It became his most popular song.
Alan Jackson sang it at his funeral to him and his widow. Only time I've ever seen AJ crack while performing. He and George were long time friends. Worth watching- he does a wonderful job of it! Also Vince Gill and Patty Loveless singing Go Rest High on that Mountain.
Great reaction, thank you! George is a legend. When Alan Jackson sang this at George's funeral, it was absolutely heartbreaking.
There wasn't a dry eye in the auditorium, when Alan paid tribute to George.
The wreath on his door is the first clue that he is dead. This was the Country Song of the Year in 1980... and 1981.
That's not too common outside the US, so that's a clue that can be missed.
@@darkiee69George wrote the song for his fellow country
It is a beautiful roamntic song and you got it right: he loved her till he died. There are some awesome songs in this genre with "similar" beautiful lyrics. And George had this beautiful warm voice that fits the song perfectly.
i have watched many reactors do this song. you re the ONLY one who talked about the love letters Loved Your reaction.
The Greatest Country Song of All Time.
Yep. You got it. Glad you enjoyed it. George Jones was truly one of the greats.
Admittedly, I've never been a George Jones fan, but this is what REAL Country Music sounds like.
You lose because you aren't a no show Jones fan! Your dogs barking tells it about you!
@@jerryh7576 ??????????????????????????????
How could you not like George Jones. If you listen to Country music 🎶 at all. George Jones is one of the Greatest Country singers ever. Maybe you are a younger fan of the new Country music. Today Country is not Country. Don’t get me wrong. Because there is great music but it is not even close to the real Country music. Just the way with all of today music. The late sixties thur the seventies was the all time greatest music years ever. 8:17 !
@@williamjackson3617 Hey, William! I totally agree, this stuff today is not Country. Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Don Williams, etc., those guys were Country. George Jones was Country. Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, both Country. I'm from that era, grew up listening to them on AM radio for the most part. My main issue with George Jones is that he was an alcoholic wife beater. Reminded me too much of my stepfather. Kinda looked like him a bit, too.
Great reaction, you are one of the only reactors that I have seen who understood the story on the first listen. This is an amazing and beautifuly sad song truly a classic. Yes the first line says it all "He said I'll love you till I die".
yes, that is what the song is about. Life long love of a woman. I'm sure there are countless men who would do the same for you Inna.
A radio station that I listened to, played this, right after they announced that George had died. They actually interrupted programming. All they said was, "George Jones has passed away. Thanks for all the amazing music, Possum." I wept.
This song never struck me as sad. It’s a testament to a man’s fidelity to himself. There’s something to be said about being a man of your word, “he said I’ll love you till I die”. It’s along the lines of being defined as what/who you love, not what/who loves you.
The older real Country Singers had very good Voices, sold many many albums. But Damn Some of These older songs Country were Depressing. but on the other hand some were funny as hell.
"They" read the love letters, "They" places a "Wreath" upon his door, He is all dressed up to carry him Away. It used to be typical to place a wreath on the door of someone who had passed. They were removing his body from his home. She left him.
Nice job on understanding the meaning.Another good storytelling song that you have to pay close attention to is Randy Travis 3 wooden crosses.
Famously George Jones had a very public relationship with another country singer, Tammy Wynette. Their relationship ended in divorce. George also struggled with alcohol for many years. His nickname was "No Show" Jones due to missing concerts because of his drunken state.
However, he brilliantly communicated feelings of hurt and heartache through his songs. Many fans related to his struggles.
Happily, he sobered up in his later years. His last wife was a woman of great faith and had a good influence on him. This led to a successful series of tours before he died.
Do you really speak of a dead person that way. Let it go
Heartbreakingly beautiful
I believe you are the first to get this from all the other reactors that I have watched. Good Job!!!
Inna, the words are what make this song. You got it, 100%. I'm not a country music fan, and this is the only song I know by George Jones, but it breaks me every time.
Some songs you really have to listen closely to the lyrics, and this is one. The meaning goes over some folks heads. RIP George. Miss you a lot.
I believe you are the first reactor I've seen to get the meaning not even halfway through the song. Terrible sub-titles be damned! Inna, not only very beautiful, but also very intelligent. I hope you have found, or will find, that someone who will love you until the day they die. Just don't leave them and have them tortured for the rest of their lives like our man did here. ☺
You absolutely nailed it the first line of the song tells the whole story I watch so many reaction channels I never get it
Your comments and heart felt expressions, give George Jones music the true depth it deserves.
These old songs bring back some good memories back in day-you could understand every word they sang he in my opinion was one of the greatest
You got it in one, congratulations, you are one of the few reactors who get it the first time
Pure country gold what. A story teller 😢
It's the kind of a song that can tear your heart out.
You got it, just a few do. Great reaction.👍👏
The number 1 tear-jerk'n country song there is. Thank you. Might want to listen to "Who's gonna fill their shoes", by George.. Kind of a walk down country music singers who have departed this world. And now George too. Thank you. Good job.
Such is life - Our next breath is a gift
This is why they call these songs tear jerkers.
Cried in my beer 🍺 many nights listening to this song! By the way you look amazingly gorgeous!
Now that you understand the meaning of the song, listen to it about ten times in a row with earphones. Then, you'll FEEL the song.
That's the way it's supposed to be. My parents were married 65 years, until my father passed away last year. They still held hands, and she would say she wasn't old enough to cross the street by herself. In 65 years, they never spent a night apart unless it was something for church. She was holding his hand when he passed. Neither one ever had a drink of alcohol. Two wonderful people.
Back in the 80's George & his wife Nancy moved to my small Texas town. They built a big club & dancehall (Possum Holler) & a big outdoor music park. My parent's were their neighbors & worked for them as well as myself. That was the best most exciting job i ever had, everyone that worked for them felt the same. When George performed he'd sing this song next to last so Nancy would be backstage when he finished the show.
Ask country fans, 90% would say it's #1 in history.
@Rodney-yb4nz
I suspect a bit of generational bias. I woudn't be surprised if other generations would choose a Hank Williams or Patsy Cline song for that title.
Not that I'm disagreeing with the choice.
The greatest Country song ever written.
Some people think that David Allen Coe singing Steve Goodman's song, "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" is the perfect Country song ever written. Especially the last verse.
@@Rosedach
I've never heard that..
He Stopped Loving Her Today is well known for being the best song ever..
Sheesh... Look it up..
Absolutely ... Fact...
Unrequited love summed up in a song.
The greatest country ballad every written!! Says so much about life, love, and death!
His whiskey baritone gets me every time.
The opossum will always be a legend
This is one of the top 3 country songs ever written!!!
Finaly a reactor gets this song thank you.
A bit of trivia: Initially George did not want to record this song.."It's just too damn sad". And it is.
The key to the song is when he says "They placed a wreath upon his door". That is an old custom. When someone died they use to put a wreath on the door to let people know that the house was in mourning.
If you would like a fun, upbeat song by George Jones, check out "The One I Loved Back Then" AKA The Corvette Song.. Nice reaction.
George grew up 30 miles from where I lived. Another good one of his many is Whose gonna Fill Their Shoes?
I've never been a country music fan, but THIS song is one I definitely remember from my youth. That is why I pulled up your reaction. And then to see your gorgeous form along with the song was a big plus. But the "kicker" is that you bear a very strong resemblance to someone I "lost" about 25 years ago. Listening to this song while watching you revealed to me that I still have strong feelings for her. Her birthday is in a few days. I think I'll send her some flowers. ♥
My late wife loved me sooo much, I would catch her eyes melting with it at times. After she passed, my biggest wonderment was "Where did all that love go?" At the time it seemed like it went off a cliff. Reflecting back, it didnt go anywhere, just beyond. I occasionally see a shadow dart across my peripheral, followed by a tingly ethereal hug.
here in the southern US we place a wreath on the door of a person who has passed away.
You mostly just do rock songs so this was outside of the box for you and that was very good of you to do this. Too many people only do one type of music so it was nice (don't let the haters turn you away from this music) I was born in Nebraska but in the biggest city (which is not saying much) but I was able to get to enjoy both country music and rock and roll.
Do not be the people that only listen the best and easy to dance to. Country causes you to listen to the lyrics 😊
"If we could all sing like we wanted to, we'd all sing like George Jones." Emmylou Harris
I retired a few months ago. One of my coworkers retired right before me. His wife died right after he retired? Nicest guy in the world. No words.
A happy song George sings react to white lightnin
You are right,...he says they placed a wreath upon his door...the only time they would do that is if he died.
They say might be the best country song ever written!!
There is a betrayal, she left him, and he kept loving her til he died
This Song always make me Cry ! It was Voted the Number One Country Song of the Top 100 Country Songs of all Time !
Ditto to the other comments. Congratulations sweetheart you understood this song the first time listening, very few do. Very few even remember the first line as you did.
This song is the epitome of all country music
George Jones was a big impact on Alot of today's country music. He was a legend. If you like the song. May I suggest you watch Alan Jackson - he stopped loving her today. He sang it at George's funeral.
This was the song Alan Jackson sang at George Jones' funeral. George Jones' career was at a standstill and then this song turned it around.
❤ 🎶 👏👏👏
You are very correct, the song is about a man that meets a woman, they fall in love, they eventually break up, and he promises he will never stop loving her. He passed away, that's when he " stops loving her" .
You are Correct. It was his Funeral.
He LOVED her, and ONLY Her, until the day he passed away
Alan Jackson sang this song at George Jones funeral
Glad you understood the song! If you haven't heard it, check out 7 Spanish Angels by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. Another great love song.
In the American south. It was common to put a wreath on the door of the house when someone died.
I know by now you've figured out you were right: he stopped loving her because he died. Perhaps more than any other popular genre, country music can tear your heart out and stomp it flat! But it's great to see young people like yourself listening to it and appreciating it. In the minds of many (including this old former country DJ), George Jones was the best there ever was and that song was the greatest country song ever.
Very nice work. God bless🙏🏻
You got it right.. and they used to put wreaths on people's doors who died so the neighbors knew
Funny story about 30 years ago we went to Eminence, MO to the Cross Country Trail Rides. It was July 4th weekend and Martina was giving a concert inside the rodeo arena, indoor huge metal building, after the rodeo. I took our Daughter who was about 10 to sit on the on the arena fence so we could see. The arena was full of the rodeo horses. At the end of this song some drunk idiots decided it would be funny to set off cherry bombs inside this building. 😂 people were running and screaming, martina screamed, i fell off this tall fence, was trying to get my daughter down because the horses were running by her bucking and kicking. OMG! it was crazy! My daughter laughs now and says i jumped and left her!😂
One of best lyrical songs of all time.
his voice..amazing
Glad you got it
Great reaction !! Love you.
❤️
Here it is traditional that when someone dies, they place a wreath on the door. To let everyone know that this person has passed away.... bitter sweet
Maybe you can react songs of skidrow one of the best band of 80's
I think there's something you missed. I'm not a George Jones expert, for a while he was married to female country singer and legend Tammy Wynette. I believe before this song was written, so I don't know of that has anything to do with anything, but George Jones, and then later George Strait, are often referred to as the King of Country Love Songs. Anyway, I don't know that I'm right, but I think that you're right that the song is about him dying, but I don't think it's necessarily as romantic as, "Aahhhh! He really loved her til the day he died! Isn't that sweet!" The part of the song that you're missing is that they once were in love, she left, and he spent the rest of his life not being able to get over it and move on with his life, just hoping that she'd still come back some day, which she only did at his funeral to pay her respect, but it's a song about a guy who basically waisted most of his life hung up on a woman that didn't want him anymore. Which to me, is even more bittersweet and depressing. The singer is basically describing that this poor miserable son of a bitch that he knew, died, and well, that's it. What a legacy.
Good job! Most reactors don’t get it….guess they don’t pay attention. You do!
Always enjoy watching your gorgeous face react to these videos. Keep up the great work. By the way, and I am sure someone below probably already mentioned this, but the reason he stopped loving her was because he passed away.
Sorry I replied before watching the entire video, but looks like you know why he stopped loving her, you are correct.
If you want to go down this rabbit hole there are so many good songs and artist I can turn you onto. Songs that will bring you pure joy and songs that will have you crying your eyes out. I think you would enjoy Would You Go With Me by Josh Turner. I think that would be a really great song for you to check out next. Really liked your reaction here.
To make it even more sad, she had dumped him many years before, but he kept loving her and hoping she'd come back to him.
Thats how Men Love
She should listen to his song, THE ONE I LOVED BACK THEN
First line, " He said I'll love you til I DIE"
👍 you got it.
When I was first married for the second my wife told her best friend,
“I’m not worried about his ex - it’s that OTHER chick he dated!”
35 years later she’s still right about that. It is what it is.
You got it right. He's dead. The song begins, He said, "I'll love you till I die. Here's the complete lyrics
He said, "I'll love you till I die"
She told him, "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time (ooh)
Ah, and we all wondered if she would (ooh)
And it kept runnin' through my mind (ooh)
"This time he's over her for good"
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You gotta listen to the song straight thru to get it and feel the emotion
George jones is the greatest country singer of all time
Farewell party by Gene Watson is another good song to react to.....and give Vern Gosdin a listen ...2 great country music legends...
if this was your first time, then you got it fight!
Romantic Country song,
BJ Thomas, 2 Car Garage
Johnny Lee, Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places
Marie Osmond, Meet me in Montana
Dolly Parton/ Kenny Roger's, Islands in the Sky.
Another hint... the wreath on his door, a custom in many places. 😢
It is a tradition in the South to place a wreath on the door of the deceased.
