I remember the first time I heard this song. I was sitting at the kitchen table about 2 am. I had the radio playing. I lost my son to an IED in Afghanistan. I was missing him so bad and had my service pistol in my mouth. The song finished I picked up my sons Bible and started reading. This song saved my life.
I’m glad you put that gun down. I’m glad you’re still here. Gulf War veteran here; I had a rough time when I came home. PTSD and the bottle almost had me picking up a pistol too. My loving father brought me back to myself in his quiet and gentle way. He showed me that the world was still good. I’m so sorry for your loss and will always be grateful for your son. Don’t give up.
Thank God you had your radio on and thank God you did NOT pull that trigger. The sadness of your son's death would be compounded if it lead to your death also. You will be in my prayers.
I wanted to give u a hug. I lost my dad to a drunk driver. Mom to cancer. Best man to ALS. An now my other buddie to a heart attack. All this in 10 years. Jus know yur heavenly father only knows why. Bless you an yur channel
Last Christmas Vince added a third verse... "You’re safely home in the arms of Jesus / Eternal life, my brother’s found / The day will come I know I’ll see him / In that sacred place, on that holy ground,"
@@dos-fslady3140 I've only seen one video of him performing it. It was his first Christmas show at the Ryman last year and he struggled to get through it after saying he was crazy to mess with "his" career song!!! th-cam.com/video/6B0QsBkhE3I/w-d-xo.html
Thanks.Im going to check that out.I watched the first one I saw earlier.A very sad day losing him as well as many other greats.Heavens having some great jam sessions!
I played this for my son's funeral 😢. He was 13 when he passed. I love and miss you Joseph... Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. This song always brings me peace, for I know my daddy, brother and son is all up in heaven smiling down on me.
I've never heard or even heard about this song. I lost my brother, who was also my best friend and co-worker, last October 6th in a motorcycle wreck (R.I.P. & R.I.H. my brother) This song had me in tears before the first line was finished. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, wonderful song and God bless you for all your reactions. 👍
Dear Ed, I lost my younger brother last July when he took a bad fall when drunk, and cracked his head open in downtown Durango. He was 59, and mom (91) and I will never get over it. I couldn't face another day without music like this, and the sure knowledge that we will see our loved ones again, if only briefly, after our own passing. Thank you for sharing your grief and your story. I am thinking of you.
I went to school with Vince. He came back to OKC , where he is from , to sing this song for his best friend/guitar techs dad that had passed on..... RIP Benny Sr.
As the oldest child when it came time to organize my Pop's funeral it fell to me. I chose this song and it brought so many to their milk and really honored him...
Nothing I could add...but we'll be reunited with our loved ones at the immanent Rapture! On the new earth we'll also be eternally reunited with our beloved pets...Father God brought them to us to love...He loved them too...but He loved us most of all!!
My husband passed 6 months ago. He didn't die, he passed from death unto life. I haven't cried yet. However, this song makes me cry, not for him, not for myself. It touches my heart.
john kendall, you won't just cry or weep, you just break down. I did, at least, and still do. They say that since this song came out, only "Amazing Grace" is played more at funerals than it.
I've actually never heard this song before. I lost my mom in February of 2019. She was 94 and it was her time, but she had been in a lot of pain, so her death was a blessing. I know she is with our Lord and that is comforting. Wish there was a love button with a heart that I could click and not just the like one.
Thank you for not hiding your emotions when you listened to it. It is very special. Another version is the one he did with Patty Loveless at George Jones’ funeral. Very emotional.
My husband listened to this song. He loved it. He was killed a few weeks after he told me about this song. I believe he knew he was going to die. He had been battling drugs and finally was drug free when he died. I’ll see him again in Heaven. Thank you.
If this doesn’t make you feel anything you are without a soul. That’s what music is supposed to do. Every time I hear this song I think about those I’ve lost and miss everyday.
Heartbroken for you. My brother and I had been playing ball in a neighbor's yard when he was 13 and I was 9. He was hit and killed by a drunk driver. He wasn't even in the road. He was beside it and this drunk ran out of the road and killed him. When something like that happens, you are instantly changed forever. I'm grown now with 2 grown sons of my own and as a parent, I can not begin to imagine how my parents survived that. I grieve for you my friend and I pray that GOD's amazing grace surrounds and comforts you. GOD bless !
@Frances Shelton My middle name is Frances. ❤ I thought most of my life I was named after my Aunt Frannie (Frances). My mom told me a few years ago I was actually named after her mother which I never knew she died before I was born... Dorothy Frances. We named our daughter Lux Frances. Good name. My best friend overdose on heroin that was laced with fentanyl. They ruled it accidentally overdose. Like your son she was troubled on earth. I believe she did it on purpose. She sent me pictures of her and her children before she died and just hints about it but I didn't know under later. As hard as it is I believe she amd her son are both in a better place and at piece. 🤗
My friend, real men cry real tears... you are more of a man, a man with a real heart, than some will ever be! I’m so sorry for the loved ones you’ve lost, including your dog. My dog is old and I see him changing... I’ve lost a sister too. So much loss. But they are not LOST when we know where they are! God Bless you! 🧚🏻♀️🍁🍂
The fact that a song of this strength can humble anyone no matter the color of skin that covers us all proves we all have a connection within our hearts
So saddened to read the stories of others heartbreaking losses that they associate with this song😢😢. My brother too was killed suddenly, in a work accident. His love of country music was why we played this song at his funeral. I am so sorry for each and everyone of your losses, truly😥❤️❤️
So many things in this world divide and keep us apart, but for one thing unites us, that we are united in death...shared grief with each other knowing the pain of separation, and seeking relief,.....
You thank “us” for requesting.....but we thank you for listening and letting us watch your reaction. This doing touches many - even those that may not “do country”.
I've heard Vince Gill in concert, years ago ... he really does have the voice of an Angel and every time I hear this song it brings chill bumps to my arms and tears to my eyes, it is Heaven sent and very heartfelt. It seems like it always has a message for those that listen.
I saw Vince Gill in concert for 3 hours!!! He took a break at an hour and a half and it look like that was the end of the concert and he came back with a country rocker and proceeded to do another hour and a half!!!
@@norbertgreise7408 yes I saw him in Wichita Kansas and that was in the early 90s, he put on a fantastic concert that was probably three hours, we were in the balcony and at one point he was right below us and we screamed out "We love you Vince" and he looked up LOL and waved
All I had to do was think of this song & I'm crying. Lost my son, my best friend,my only child New Year's to covid19.They couldn't figure out what it was yet. Anyway he had strong strong faith. I've not been able to listen to this angelic rendition since.Vince can pull heart strings.If you can find him at Chicago Blues Fest with Eric Clapton you'll see what a guitarist he is. It's July 4th y'all please be safe as you can.🇺🇸. Y'all also remember this country is worth changing to save it.
There are many versions but this has always been my fav. Alison Krauss has the most angelic of voices and adding Ricky Skaggs equals perfect harmony. Sending you such a big hug, friend!
This is a one-of-a-kind song. By baring his soul in one of his hardest times, Vince Gill helps us shed tears and openly display our pain and grief in our hardest times. ☮️💜
There is also a version of Vince and Patty Loveless singing this on stage I think after George Jones passed away, Vince cried threw the whole song, but got through, it was so emotional and beautiful at the same time, watching Patty and the crowd pull Vince through!
This song really hits home for me. I lost a younger brother suddenly just a couple of weeks before Christmas six years ago. He went through a lot in his life but just as he was seeing light at the end of his tunnel his time on Earth was done. A blood clot stopped his heart and he passed away at the age of 45.
I wanted my brother to sing this song at our Dad's funeral, but he said it would be too hard for him. Instead, he played a recording of an original song that he wrote called "Father to Father". He had to record because he knew he couldn't get thru it otherwise.
I cry every time I hear this song. I lost my brother in 2022. He didn't smoke, or drink didn't have an ounce of fat on his body, was always active, no family history. Stage 4 colon cancer. Get checked! He was only 63. Left a wife, 4 kids, 9 grandkids. Breaks my heart! He was a great human!
The two most powerful loves in life are a sister and a dog. Heavy stuff. It's daunting the amount of tragedy everyone has experienced, just know you aren't alone. Nothing can take away the pain but time. All we can do is honor their memory the way they would want us to and pray for the days when time has made our wounds less harsh.
This and "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton gets to me every time I hear them. "Tears In Heaven" is about Eric Clapton's little boy who fell from their hotel room window. How blessed songwriters are, to be able to deal with their grief through their music!
my friend we need this more than anything right now. We are losing our brothers and our family. I don't see color but I know we have so many problems in our country. And if we don't come together as brothers and sisters, regardless of our color, we will be mourning as we sing this songs for our loved ones. God Bless my friend. May we all unite as a family and loved ones...
The most beautiful memorial song ever written! If you don’t cry, you don’t have a heart. I have lost both parents, my father when I was 33 and my mama at 42. I cry every time I hear this...
Vince Gill has the voice of an angel, I could listen to him all day. This song makes me think of a youth pastor I had when I was young. He passed away in 1999 I cry when I hear this song.
My first time hearing this was a year ago at a friend of mine daughter's funeral, she died of cancer she was just 23 so I think of her whenever I hear this song! So beautiful!
When our daughter passed at the age of 34 in 2015, my great niece played this on the mandolin. Changing it to female version. It is still one of my favourite hymns.
Jamel, you are a delight and I can’t help but smile with joy every time I watch your videos. You make some of my old favorites new again. But seeing you overcome with so much emotion in this one broke my heart 💔. May God bless you and keep you. Thank you for sharing your love of music and your humble gentle spirit with us all. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏾
I am so sorry about your sweet sister and your dog. I don't really have siblings, but I lost my eldest son, Patton in July of this year. He was just 26. He died doing what he loved, snorkeling, in the river he loved. I will never get over my baby's death. He left behind a wonderful wife, a 5 yr old little boy & another little boy due in November that will never know what a wonderful man his Daddy was. I understand that heartbreak, & I will pray mightily for you & your sister. 😢💔🙏
Tami, I am so sorry for your loss. To extend your condolences to Jamal on his loss, when you're experiencing your own, is truly amazing. This shows me that those two sweet little boys will know their father, through the love of their grandmother and mother for the love of a son and a husband. And, the enduring love of a father who may not be seen, but most certainly will be felt. Love knows no limits, and is eternal. God bless.
Tami, those two babies will keep Patton alive in your hearts 💕. My heart breaks for your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers during these tough months. One thing that helps me as I just lost my sister on July 30th suddenly is that they are in a way better place. It just hurts to let them go from our lives for now. Blessings.
Tami so so sorry for your loss and the pain you are now in. I feel your son wants you to know that he is OK and will always watch over you and his loving family. You are all in my prayers.
My husband died 11 years ago and I had this song played at his funeral. When I listened to it just now I think I cried almost as much as I did 11 years ago. Home Free does a really good job on this song but Vince's version is THE VERSION. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this beautiful song. BTW, it seemed you were struggling to know what to say after you heard this song. I think the very BEST reaction might be NO reaction because it said you were so moved you were speechless...and that's a good thing.
I am sorry for your loss. No parent should have to bury their child. When my sister died the pain I seen in my dad's face and heard in his voice was more than I could bear. I told everyone I don't ever want to feel that level of pain
You touched my heart when your heart was touched by this. I don’t know you. But I love you. Everyone needs to be told that they are loved. I’m glad you enjoyed this. You are loved!
This song gets to me. When my uncle died with cancer in 2003, I lost my best friend. I never hear this song without thinking of him. I miss you Uncle Paul. I still haven’t gotten over the loss of you, your laughter, your advice, your wisdom, your guidance, and your way of making everything seem possible. I love you. I’ll see you one day.
Blain Stutts You will see him again Blain. Don't ever lose faith in that hope. Your Uncle Paul was a lucky man to have someone like you love him so much. You can't see him at the moment but everything else about him is with you, deep inside. Death can never take that away. It's just a door that he's walked through and you, me and everyone else will walk through it one day and be together on the other side. In the meantime be strong my friend and be the man your Uncle Paul wanted you to be. His love for you is still there, meaningful and very much alive, and no force on this earth can ever take it away from you. Wish I could be there to see the reunion.
@@home2624 I think that may be one of the nicest and most beautiful things I’ve read on you tube. And it made me smile. Thank you for your words. And may your days be filled with blessings and peace. I look forward to the reunion with my uncle.
@@blainstutts473 Thankyou for your reply Blain and your kind thoughts. You and your uncle are in my prayers. Im so glad my comment made you smile. That made me so happy. I know there are many tears but keep that smile with you. It will all be alright in the end and just think how big that smile will be then.
My condolences to you my friend. I lost my younger brother 3 years ago (he would be 42 now) and this gets me in the heart every time I hear it...the tears they do flow like a river.
It's the song not who sings it listen to the words that's how you listen to country not who sings it the best!!! Dont make me regret watching and listening to this!!!
I lost my 34 year old son to cancer 3/04/22. I heard this song for the first time a few days after and burst into tears in front of a full room of people. Very personal to me now.
It's hard not to shed a tear hearing this... Faces of my loved ones who have passed flash thru my mind. ... I'm sorry about your sisters passing. Another good one is by Brad Paisley "when I get where I'm goin" God bless!!
That Brad Paisley song is wonderful -- great suggestion. If you want a more joyous, spiritual-style song about loss from country legends, check out the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Friends doing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" with Johnny Cash, Ricky Scaggs, Roy Acuff, Emmylou Harris, and more (th-cam.com/video/7bRJLkNqNXI/w-d-xo.html).
John Gregg Tears are cleansing.... I loved my Mama so much... I didn't cry either.. I sent the part of me away that couldn't stand the pain... I didn't think she would ever be back... I cry now .... for all the time I couldn't.. Gods blessings on you
This song was played at my buddy’s funeral. I cry every time I hear it. It’s very hard for me to listen to it. Thank you for the reaction. God bless you all.
He sings another great song called "Whenever you come around" Love your channel! It's funny, at a time when our world is so divided, music somehow magically brings us together.
Thank you for sharing this song. This was one of the songs played at my son’s funeral six years ago! Another song I chose for his funeral was “I Will Rise” by Chris Tomlin.
One of my favorite songs. This is a major tearjerker song. I don’t know how he managed to keep from breaking down when he was singing the song. After all, it was written towards the memory of his brother!
Loss of a loved one is one of the hardest things you will ever have to deal with, but it's something we all share in common, tears in the eye means love in your heart. Had to check this out because it made Jamel's top 20. Worth it.
My father passed in November of 2019. I spoke at his service and it was the hardest thing I had ever done. This was one of the songs he requested to be played. I can't make it three notes into this song. I can't talk for 5 minutes after it's done. I love it. It uplifts and hurts so much at the same time.
It's heart wrenching every time. I commented on Home Free's version and Vince Gill actually sent me a message about it. What an awesome song and keep up the reactions on here. You're awesome at what YOU do.

My loving father brought me back to myself in his quiet and gentle way. He showed me that the world was still good. I’m so sorry for your loss and will always be grateful for your son. Don’t give up.
I thank God for moving in your life.
God bless you.
Thank you for being here ☺️ much love ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank God you had your radio on and thank God you did NOT pull that trigger. The sadness of your son's death would be compounded if it lead to your death also. You will be in my prayers.
Music that transcends race, colors, creed, religions...
@Jay Kraft you have a problem
@Jay Kraft dude for real right now
Amen to that. Thank U & God bless
This song was played at my wife's funeral, she passed away 5 years ago, still, miss her every day!

Thats so sad!!! I lost my dad at 16.
My Condolences to both of you. I just can’t imagine the hole left behind.
Were you on Titanic
So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you 🙏 ❤
3 of the most talented musicians to ever walk the earth.
You got that one right.
Last Christmas Vince added a third verse...
"You’re safely home in the arms of Jesus / Eternal life, my brother’s found / The day will come I know I’ll see him / In that sacred place, on that holy ground,"
@@dos-fslady3140 I've only seen one video of him performing it. It was his first Christmas show at the Ryman last year and he struggled to get through it after saying he was crazy to mess with "his" career song!!!

Thank you for the info.I had no idea he added that.
@@forestnymph9413 There's new video of him performing the "new" version at Charlie Daniels funeral.
Thanks.Im going to check that out.I watched the first one I saw earlier.A very sad day losing him as well as many other greats.Heavens having some great jam sessions!
no shame brother, that song makes me cry every time, and i have heard it a thousand times..
This song just really hits you in the feels
Every time
Hi Christian ...I am sure u not the only one
When he sang at George Jones' funera, and he broke down and then pulled off the epic guitar solo. It was awesome, and beautiful
Amen to that a thousand times over.
He is one of the greatest country singers ever was Love you Vince Gill and all your music
I played this for my son's funeral 😢. He was 13 when he passed. I love and miss you Joseph...
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
This song always brings me peace, for I know my daddy, brother and son is all up in heaven smiling down on me.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry
Purplebutterfly Tearz I’m so very sorry
Hoping you find peace. Rest easy, Joseph.
I'm so sorry. I lost a child too. Nothing harder. God bless you.
His rendition with Patty Loveless at George Jones' funeral is powerful too !
That one was hard to get through especially when he breaks down
Broke me.
I agree.
I'll have to see that❤
@@gachaemily5398 did you watch it yet?
Yeah man. You found the very best.

Just wanted to say sorry for your loss here from us in UK🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bless your heart.
With Alison Krauss, and Ricky SKaggs.... that's 3 of the finest musicians and singers in the world on that stage.
I went to school with Vince. He came back to OKC , where he is from , to sing this song for his best friend/guitar techs dad that had passed on..... RIP Benny Sr.
@@timstanford3220 The man is a class act.
Agree!!
Loveeee them. Especially Ricky!!
Ive never seen Allison or Vince live, but Ive had the pleasure of seeing Ricky Skaggs and he is INCREDIBLE!
As the oldest child when it came time to organize my Pop's funeral it fell to me. I chose this song and it brought so many to their milk and really honored him...
Jamel, so sorry for the loss of your sister & for losing your dog. Vince Gill wrote this perfect song for his loss. We love you man ❤️
❤️🙏❤️🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Nothing I could add...but we'll be reunited with our loved ones at the immanent Rapture! On the new earth we'll also be eternally reunited with our beloved pets...Father God brought them to us to love...He loved them too...but He loved us most of all!!
Well said
Hey Jamal, I appreciate you doing this reaction. We are all together my friend.
😚 kiss & hugs 🤗 to you for having such a good heart for animals and people.
This played out my Grandfathers and my cousin funeral 🙏
Do another reaction same song with him duo with Pati loveless. You may not survive. Heartbreaking.
I'm sorry for the loss of your sister so many years ago. I have faith that you will experience the joy of being reunited
My husband passed 6 months ago. He didn't die, he passed from death unto life. I haven't cried yet. However, this song makes me cry, not for him, not for myself. It touches my heart.
Vince Gill is an amazing talent. He can shread a guitar too. His guitar collection is legendary to say the least. Amazing reaction!
one more version you have to listen to - Him singing this at George Jones funeral - watch on your own time ( you won't cry, you will weep)
john kendall, you won't just cry or weep, you just break down. I did, at least, and still do. They say that since this song came out, only "Amazing Grace" is played more at funerals than it.
I have to agree...watching Vince Gill breaking down is tearing at my heart. I don't care how many times I watch it, I still cry.
@@pjmiller5207 same here.
Definitely the most moving version, at the George Jones funeral, made me weep too, poor Vince was breaking up so much made me want to hug him 😪
BINGO. Yes that is the version to watch. You can't help but cry. And I'm a pretty big tough dude lol=)
I've actually never heard this song before. I lost my mom in February of 2019. She was 94 and it was her time, but she had been in a lot of pain, so her death was a blessing. I know she is with our Lord and that is comforting. Wish there was a love button with a heart that I could click and not just the like one.
So sorry for your loss. I played this at my mother's funeral 2 years ago. Hold on tight to your memories ❤️
She's home now in no Moore pain may the good Lord be with you amen
Thank you for not hiding your emotions when you listened to it. It is very special.
Another version is the one he did with Patty Loveless at George Jones’ funeral. Very emotional.
One of the things that binds us together, we all understand grief and loss. May your sister rest in peace, Jamal.
My husband listened to this song. He loved it. He was killed a few weeks after he told me about this song. I believe he knew he was going to die. He had been battling drugs and finally was drug free when he died. I’ll see him again in Heaven. Thank you.
You will see him again. God bless you and grant you peace.
My dad had this played when he passed away. 2006 RIP Dad. He was buried on a mountain, I'll be there too. Sorry for losing your dog. It's tough
One of the most beautiful tenors ever heard!
I can't listen to this song without crying . I lost a brother 10 years back, it still hurts. I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you
tears in my eyes...
Bless you. 🙏
I always say loss doesn't get easier, it gets different. Still, pain is pain. 😢♥️🙏
I'm no Christian but I love gospel style music. It reflects the love people have for one another, which is holy to me.
If this doesn’t make you feel anything you are without a soul. That’s what music is supposed to do. Every time I hear this song I think about those I’ve lost and miss everyday.
So true
❤😭
this song always drives me to my knees. Momma loves and misses you, Ashley Rachel. you should be 37 years old. forever 14 months.
God bless her soul
This was played at my brothers funeral in 1997. He was 30 years old. This song makes me cry everytime!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Heartbroken for you. My brother and I had been playing ball in a neighbor's yard when he was 13 and I was 9. He was hit and killed by a drunk driver. He wasn't even in the road. He was beside it and this drunk ran out of the road and killed him. When something like that happens, you are instantly changed forever. I'm grown now with 2 grown sons of my own and as a parent, I can not begin to imagine how my parents survived that. I grieve for you my friend and I pray that GOD's amazing grace surrounds and comforts you. GOD bless !
On my goodness. What an horrible tragedy. God bless you. 💞🙏✌
I lost my brother to a drunk driver in 1995. I am so sorry for your loss
I know your pain, my twin brother was lost to a drunk driver when we were 16. I've spent my whole life with part of me missing.
So very very sorry for your loss.
This is for my son Roderick. He overdosed on drugs. The words describes him. His life was troubled while here on Earth.
Frances Shelton ❤️❤️
So very sad for you.
@Frances Shelton My middle name is Frances. ❤ I thought most of my life I was named after my Aunt Frannie (Frances). My mom told me a few years ago I was actually named after her mother which I never knew she died before I was born... Dorothy Frances. We named our daughter Lux Frances. Good name.
My best friend overdose on heroin that was laced with fentanyl. They ruled it accidentally overdose. Like your son she was troubled on earth. I believe she did it on purpose.

As hard as it is I believe she amd her son are both in a better place and at piece. 🤗
For many the cruelty of this world has too much.
So sorry. I can relate.
I lost my grandfather back in January and listened to this song ever since
My friend, real men cry real tears... you are more of a man, a man with a real heart, than some will ever be!
I’m so sorry for the loved ones you’ve lost, including your dog. My dog is old and I see him changing... I’ve lost a sister too. So much loss.
But they are not LOST when we know where they are! God Bless you! 🧚🏻♀️🍁🍂
I know you feel the loss of a family member. I'm huggin' you, brother.
The fact that a song of this strength can humble anyone no matter the color of skin that covers us all proves we all have a connection within our hearts
So saddened to read the stories of others heartbreaking losses that they associate with this song😢😢.

This doing touches many - even those that may not “do country”.
This Song Was Amazing🙏🏾
Well said..
Brings me to tears every time✌️
I've heard Vince Gill in concert, years ago ... he really does have the voice of an Angel and every time I hear this song it brings chill bumps to my arms and tears to my eyes, it is Heaven sent and very heartfelt. It seems like it always has a message for those that listen.
I saw Vince Gill in concert for 3 hours!!!
He took a break at an hour and a half and it look like that was the end of the concert and he came back with a country rocker and proceeded to do another hour and a half!!!
@@norbertgreise7408 yes I saw him in Wichita Kansas and that was in the early 90s, he put on a fantastic concert that was probably three hours, we were in the balcony and at one point he was right below us and we screamed out "We love you Vince" and he looked up LOL and waved
All I had to do was think of this song & I'm crying. Lost my son, my best friend,my only child New Year's to covid19.They couldn't figure out what it was yet. Anyway he had strong strong faith. I've not been able to listen to this angelic rendition since.Vince can pull heart strings.If you can find him at Chicago Blues Fest with Eric Clapton you'll see what a guitarist he is. It's July 4th y'all please be safe as you can.🇺🇸. Y'all also remember this country is worth changing to save it.
I am sorry for your great loss. God bless and keep you.
There are many versions but this has always been my fav. Alison Krauss has the most angelic of voices and adding Ricky Skaggs equals perfect harmony.
Sending you such a big hug, friend!
This is a one-of-a-kind song. By baring his soul in one of his hardest times, Vince Gill helps us shed tears and openly display our pain and grief in our hardest times.
☮️💜
There is also a version of Vince and Patty Loveless singing this on stage I think after George Jones passed away, Vince cried threw the whole song, but got through, it was so emotional and beautiful at the same time, watching Patty and the crowd pull Vince through!
This song really hits home for me. I lost a younger brother suddenly just a couple of weeks before Christmas six years ago. He went through a lot in his life but just as he was seeing light at the end of his tunnel his time on Earth was done. A blood clot stopped his heart and he passed away at the age of 45.
It’s been almost a year since I lost my son. I think I was meant to find your reaction today. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss.
May god bless his soul
Thank you
Three of the biggest talents in country music in the last 50 years. Beautiful.
Thats quite the compliment. Two of my most favorite people in the whole world!
This song was played at my Father's funeral, I tear up every time I hear it. On his tombstone we had inscribed "Go Rest High on That Mountain"
🙏🏾
My condolences🙏🏾
Dayle Calton 🙏🏼❤️
We had this played at my Dad’s funeral this year. Lost my Mom last year and my Son so this song means a lot. Sorry for your loss of your Sister. 😢🙏🏻
I am very sorry for your losses. God bless you and touch and bring healing to your heart.
I wanted my brother to sing this song at our Dad's funeral, but he said it would be too hard for him. Instead, he played a recording of an original song that he wrote called "Father to Father". He had to record because he knew he couldn't get thru it otherwise.
Bless u
I cry every time I hear this song. I lost my brother in 2022. He didn't smoke, or drink didn't have an ounce of fat on his body, was always active, no family history. Stage 4 colon cancer. Get checked! He was only 63. Left a wife, 4 kids, 9 grandkids. Breaks my heart! He was a great human!
So sorry for your loss!
Three amazingly great artists right there on stage together. All three are extremely talented musicians. Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, and Alison Krauss.
This song was played at my fallen brothers funerals, this song gets me everytime. Till Valhalla brothers
Agreed
Hooah to all our fallen. We shall see them again one day
Semper Fi
We have such a Short time on this Earth. Cherish every single day!
Hope you are having a wonderful day may GOD bless and keep you...
So pretty
I could feel the impact of of this song on you
Music bonds us all regardless of color creed nationality or gender
Bless you
I had this played at my son’s funeral. It will forever hold a very place in my heart. I love it!💕
My Condolences to you on the passing of your sister... So sorry to hear of your loss...
Damn man sorry bout your sister and dog man there playing fech in heaven Amen
🙏🏾
The two most powerful loves in life are a sister and a dog. Heavy stuff. It's daunting the amount of tragedy everyone has experienced, just know you aren't alone. Nothing can take away the pain but time. All we can do is honor their memory the way they would want us to and pray for the days when time has made our wounds less harsh.
ALL Babies, are ALL Playing with Jesus😘♥️
This and "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton gets to me every time I hear them. "Tears In Heaven" is about Eric Clapton's little boy who fell from their hotel room window. How blessed songwriters are, to be able to deal with their grief through their music!
Joey Robison listen to That’s my job by Conway.
Thank you this is the first time I heard this song 😢 thinking of my dad and sister
This song was sung at my daughter's funeral she was only 17 and to this day I cry everytime I hear it
my friend we need this more than anything right now. We are losing our brothers and our family. I don't see color but I know we have so many problems in our country. And if we don't come together as brothers and sisters, regardless of our color, we will be mourning as we sing this songs for our loved ones. God Bless my friend. May we all unite as a family and loved ones...
Thank you Pete so beautifully said.
Amen and Amen brother!!
Thank you for not interrupting this beautiful song with commentary. It’s like slamming shut a book someone is reading. It kills the characters.
The most beautiful memorial song ever written! If you don’t cry, you don’t have a heart. I have lost both parents, my father when I was 33 and my mama at 42. I cry every time I hear this...
Vince Gill has the voice of an angel, I could listen to him all day. This song makes me think of a youth pastor I had when I was young. He passed away in 1999 I cry when I hear this song.
This song is beloved, and will always remind me of loved lost.
All the best.
Cheers.
My first time hearing this was a year ago at a friend of mine daughter's funeral, she died of cancer she was just 23 so I think of her whenever I hear this song! So beautiful!
🙏🏾
I’m so very sorry....your sister will forever be with you 🙏
Remember the sweet love surrounding you now 💜
Man!! I’m a grown ass man and this song breaks me up every time. We dedicated to my brother that passed. RIP to your sister🙏🏼 new sub here!
When our daughter passed at the age of 34 in 2015, my great niece played this on the mandolin. Changing it to female version. It is still one of my favourite hymns.
This is our funeral song here in Texas. I can't tell you how many loved one's wakes we've played this at. Tears always flow.
Our son passed away almost 10 years ago and We had it played at his life remembered service. It still gives me chills and is so beautiful!
Love you brother, my heart goes out to you ❤️
Jamel, you are a delight and I can’t help but smile with joy every time I watch your videos. You make some of my old favorites new again. But seeing you overcome with so much emotion in this one broke my heart 💔. May God bless you and keep you. Thank you for sharing your love of music and your humble gentle spirit with us all. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏾
I am so sorry about your sweet sister and your dog. I don't really have siblings, but I lost my eldest son, Patton in July of this year. He was just 26. He died doing what he loved, snorkeling, in the river he loved. I will never get over my baby's death. He left behind a wonderful wife, a 5 yr old little boy & another little boy due in November that will never know what a wonderful man his Daddy was.
I understand that heartbreak, & I will pray mightily for you & your sister. 😢💔🙏
Tami, I am so sorry for your loss. To extend your condolences to Jamal on his loss, when you're experiencing your own, is truly amazing. This shows me that those two sweet little boys will know their father, through the love of their grandmother and mother for the love of a son and a husband. And, the enduring love of a father who may not be seen, but most certainly will be felt. Love knows no limits, and is eternal. God bless.
Tami, those two babies will keep Patton alive in your hearts 💕. My heart breaks for your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers during these tough months. One thing that helps me as I just lost my sister on July 30th suddenly is that they are in a way better place. It just hurts to let them go from our lives for now. Blessings.
Tami so so sorry for your loss and the pain you are now in. I feel your son wants you to know that he is OK and will always watch over you and his loving family. You are all in my prayers.
My husband and I lost our only son, I know your pain! It was a tragic accident, he was gone in an instant. Sorry for your loss. 💔
My husband died 11 years ago and I had this song played at his funeral. When I listened to it just now I think I cried almost as much as I did 11 years ago. Home Free does a really good job on this song but Vince's version is THE VERSION. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this beautiful song. BTW, it seemed you were struggling to know what to say after you heard this song. I think the very BEST reaction might be NO reaction because it said you were so moved you were speechless...and that's a good thing.
Thee super talented, ever humble Christian... Mr. Vince Gill. Amazing human. 🙏
Lost my only child Sara Jean
11-4-2002. She was 26 also. Sara would also be 43.
I am sorry for your loss. No parent should have to bury their child.
When my sister died the pain I seen in my dad's face and heard in his voice was more than I could bear. I told everyone I don't ever want to feel that level of pain
I am so very sorry for your loss 😢❤
Very sorry.
🙏❤
I'm so sorry, Sheila💔
You touched my heart when your heart was touched by this. I don’t know you. But I love you. Everyone needs to be told that they are loved. I’m glad you enjoyed this. You are loved!
This song gets to me. When my uncle died with cancer in 2003, I lost my best friend. I never hear this song without thinking of him. I miss you Uncle Paul. I still haven’t gotten over the loss of you, your laughter, your advice, your wisdom, your guidance, and your way of making everything seem possible. I love you. I’ll see you one day.
Blain Stutts You will see him again Blain. Don't ever lose faith in that hope. Your Uncle Paul was a lucky man to have someone like you love him so much. You can't see him at the moment but everything else about him is with you, deep inside. Death can never take that away. It's just a door that he's walked through and you, me and everyone else will walk through it one day and be together on the other side. In the meantime be strong my friend and be the man your Uncle Paul wanted you to be. His love for you is still there, meaningful and very much alive, and no force on this earth can ever take it away from you. Wish I could be there to see the reunion.
@@home2624 I think that may be one of the nicest and most beautiful things I’ve read on you tube. And it made me smile. Thank you for your words. And may your days be filled with blessings and peace. I look forward to the reunion with my uncle.
@@blainstutts473 Thankyou for your reply Blain and your kind thoughts. You and your uncle are in my prayers. Im so glad my comment made you smile. That made me so happy. I know there are many tears but keep that smile with you. It will all be alright in the end and just think how big that smile will be then.
My condolences to you my friend. I lost my younger brother 3 years ago (he would be 42 now) and this gets me in the heart every time I hear it...the tears they do flow like a river.
Vince gill and patty loveless sing it the best. Listen to the George Jones memorial. Very emotional
VA HOSS I agree
I actually prefer this version. Three legendary voices (and instruments) on that stage.
I cry my eyes out every time I watch that version :-(
I agree. I personally like the original version with Patty Loveless more, but do think this is also a good one.
It's the song not who sings it listen to the words that's how you listen to country not who sings it the best!!! Dont make me regret watching and listening to this!!!
Ive heard it many times by many people. No one will ever sing it better than Vince Gill
I lost my 34 year old son to cancer 3/04/22. I heard this song for the first time a few days after and burst into tears in front of a full room of people. Very personal to me now.
Sorry for your loss. .
@@latinagirl9613 thank you. It's something you never get over you just learn to live with it.
@@kerrywolfert5095 😪
It's hard not to shed a tear hearing this... Faces of my loved ones who have passed flash thru my mind. ... I'm sorry about your sisters passing.
Another good one is by Brad Paisley "when I get where I'm goin"
God bless!!
That Brad Paisley song is wonderful -- great suggestion. If you want a more joyous, spiritual-style song about loss from country legends, check out the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Friends doing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" with Johnny Cash, Ricky Scaggs, Roy Acuff, Emmylou Harris, and more (th-cam.com/video/7bRJLkNqNXI/w-d-xo.html).
It will give you strength ❤
I love how you feel the music.
I haven’t cried since my brother died in 2001 and I thought of this song and him then. I just cried. Thank you for this reaction.
Brian Harkness I cried too😥😥
John Gregg Tears are cleansing.... I loved my Mama so much... I didn't cry either.. I sent the part of me away that couldn't stand the pain... I didn't think she would ever be back... I cry now .... for all the time I couldn't.. Gods blessings on you
This song was played at my buddy’s funeral. I cry every time I hear it. It’s very hard for me to listen to it. Thank you for the reaction. God bless you all.
Condolences for your sister and your dog. (I think of Elvis when I hear this song)
I love this song. We played it at my brother’s memorial service so I cry every time I hear it.
Tissue is required when he does this song at George Jones funeral, then Garth Brooks stands up to support Vince!
I can’t get through this beautiful song without crying every single time...😢 Love Mr. Vince Gill and this song! ❤️
He sings another great song called "Whenever you come around"
Love your channel! It's funny, at a time when our world is so divided, music somehow magically brings us together.
Thank you for sharing this song. This was one of the songs played at my son’s funeral six years ago! Another song I chose for his funeral was “I Will Rise” by Chris Tomlin.
One of my favorite songs. This is a major tearjerker song. I don’t know how he managed to keep from breaking down when he was singing the song. After all, it was written towards the memory of his brother!
Your soul will weep when listening to this beauty!! Any song by these 3 stars will be a favorite!!
Loss of a loved one is one of the hardest things you will ever have to deal with, but it's something we all share in common, tears in the eye means love in your heart. Had to check this out because it made Jamel's top 20. Worth it.
My father passed in November of 2019. I spoke at his service and it was the hardest thing I had ever done. This was one of the songs he requested to be played. I can't make it three notes into this song. I can't talk for 5 minutes after it's done. I love it. It uplifts and hurts so much at the same time.
you're my favorite reaction video TH-camr. you're so genuine.
You are precious man! I feel your pain and I cry with you!
It's heart wrenching every time. I commented on Home Free's version and Vince Gill actually sent me a message about it. What an awesome song and keep up the reactions on here. You're awesome at what YOU do.
