It's a song about repentance and forgiveness. She regretted that all the rest of her days. He loved her despite that, and she loved him. It's a tragic love story.
It's also a beautiful moral lesson. It only takes one choice to have disastrous results. She was being selfish and living in the moment.. it was wrong, but that choice is made by people everyday. Any choice you make, perhaps you should think what could come of it.
Ehhh...she made the bed. Lie in it. She should regret it. She didn't love him enough to not cheat on him while he was protecting his and her country so yeah. This isn't an accident. It was a choice she consciously made. She deserves every bit of anguish she got.
@@Mudcat3434 This was WW2 1939 to 1945, have you any idea what it was like then, no mobile phones then no nothing, the only way you knew if dead or alive is whether they came home, years not months, no leave, no correspondence only letters if they arrived, telegrams for dead or missing and they were hit and miss. No coming home for burial, you stayed where you fell, now poppy fields, multi thousands died, 2 or 3 YEARS away. I'm not condoning it but this can be understood more than now, where there's no excuse. Hell on earth nobody knew anything, I'm forgetting the concentration camps where really you had no chance, starved to death. You read and watch videos about it maybe you'll have a better understanding and not be so blinkered. No joining for a job, you were called up and refusing to go was prison where it was hell for a different reason, bullied, attacked, spat on, I know my father was a pacifist and had to prove he wasn't a coward, if you couldn't prove it you went forcibly. You haven't a clue...
What I was wondering was symbolism.. was the little girl an angel or a child they would have had.. she obviously could see them after death.. and when they hugged she smiled..
Alison is an amazing singer. She has won many awards. I'll suggest two of her songs: "When You Say Nothing At All" a cover of a Keith Whitley song. A very sweet love song. "Jacob's Dream" based on a true story but it is a very sad song. Since you've mentioned liking videos with a story, let me suggest two more female artists: "Fancy"--Reba McEntire "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" -- Patty Loveless Whatever you decide to react to next, I'll love seeing what you react to next.
The video doesn't tell the story, the song paints a picture and the video just enhances it! The soldier in the video is a child actor way before your time! Alison Krauss is a legend in blue grass/folk music genre.
This song hits too close to home for me. My grandpa came home from WWII and shortly after his wife ran off with a traveling salesman, leaving him to raise two sons alone. He found his true love and was with her until the day he died. But he never got over that betrayal. His new wife was only 10 years older than my dad.
I was listening to an interview with Plant, and he said he was driving one night in England and it was the first time he heard Alison when they player "When you say nothing at all", and he had to pull his car off the road. From that He was determined that one day he would work with her.
Great Reaction...... You mentioned this was like a movie...... The guy who played the soldier (Main Character) was a child actor, Ricky Schroder on a show called "Silver Spoons" and as an adult then spent one season on TV Show "NYPD Blue".... He directed the Video and the two blonde children at the Funeral's are Ricky's Children..... Allison Kraus is Legend in the Blue/Grass/Country, I believe she sitll holds record for most Grammy's by an Artist.....
wow i cant believe she has so many Grammys ! (i mean i can her voice is amazing, just cant believe i've never heard her) thanks for the info about the actors as well, thats really cool
Keith Whitley did not sing this song. It was written in 2000 by Bill Anderson and Jon Randall. Keith Whitley died in 1989. Brad and Allison originally recorded this song in 2003. Bill Anderson spoke about it on The Old Opry at Carnegie Hall concert. He shopped it around and nobody wanted to record it. He said one day Brad called him up and told him he wanted to record it and would ask Allison to be his duet partner.
Hey guys, I’m not exactly sure how the copyright stuff works, but I see a lot of reactors placing transparent filters over the video, or periodically removing the video from frame. You might want to try that just so you don’t have such long periods without video.
okay we'll give it a try. Its just so different every time. some videos go right through, some we just have to take 30-40 seconds out, but some are just a pain in the butt lol
The video on your show started late in the original video. I hope you saw it all from the beginning. Aside from the silk of Brads voice and the beautiful voice of Alison, Ricky Schroeder’s (Silver Spoons) portrayal of the soldier, was perhaps his best acting. In defense of the woman, he went off to war, his days filled with following orders, fighting, and trying to survive to come home. Sadly, hers were filled with heartache, loneliness, and emptiness. If you notice, in the first bar scene, she is imagining dancing with him. Later, she is desperately searching for him, but could never quite connect with him. Watch her flinch under accusing eyes, as the guns salute at his funeral. War isn’t easy, for those that go and fight in fear, and those that wait in fear. The little girl at the end was not a daughter of theirs, but a child blessed with being able to see the two ghosts finally find, and forgive each other.
Even though I do not agree with cheating, she was young, lonely and everyone makes mistakes. Appeared to be earlier than Vietnam, so WWII or Korea maybe. I just wish they could have worked it out before alcohol consumed them both, but then it wouldn't have been Whiskey Lullaby!
This one hits a little to close to home for me. I ived through something similar when my fiance broke up with me, while I was overseas. There's no way I would have made it home if I was a war time vet. It took me twenty years and a failed first marriage to heal. God's greatest blessing are often prayers he answers in his way, and not what we ask for.
Great reaction! I’ve seen Alison at least 6 times in concert. Have every album. Her voice is what I imagine the angels sounding like. She has more Grammys than any other female artist I think I read somewhere.
Great artist, I love both of them. Great reaction too! Nobody is worth drinking yourself to death over. I think learning to fail forward is really important. This is such a sad song. 😢 I was in the Navy and I was gone for 6 months at a time, shit happens. 🤷♀️
Should check her out with Vince Gill Go Rest High On That Mountain. Which he started to write when Keith Whitney passed but couldn't finish it until his brother died.
Allison's first song and still one of my favorites is called "Steel Rails" also too this song still bring me to tears my now ex wife left me after i had my stroke and became disabled cause she didnt want a husband who couldnt work cause i was disabled.
Alison Kraus is awesome-i love her bluegrass stuff-i can see why people like living in places where that music was made popular…just makes you think of simpler times when there was no PC ca-rap ruining EVERYTHING.
Thank you so much❤️ Your support is what keeps me going, so in return.I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community,and I would love you to join. It will make me happy. Write to me directly on my Gmail,that you see on my Channel description
I absolutely love Alison Krauss. She has a very unique voice. I know it every time I hear it now. I know this is probably the first song you've heard her on. Check out some more of her songs. She is also a very talented fiddle player. This song with her and Brad is basically a classic even though it probably doesn't fit the required time period for it to be a classic yet. The story of this song is very tragic. I served in the US Army for over 20 years and I was one of the lucky ones to have never experienced anything like this. My wife and I have been together for 40 years now. I do know of and witnessed the effects of something like this happening to soldiers that have been away from their loved ones. It can get pretty ugly sometimes. Again, I thank the Lord that I have a devoted, loving wife that put up with all the hell that being deployed to a war zone can cause. She's truly MY ROCK! I loved your reactions to this video. 👍👍
The one who plays the soldier in the music video is named Rick Schroder who is an actor in several movies. The one who plays the little girl at the end of the video is his real life daughter.
I was raised ny people who survived World War II. I heard stories about men who were drafted in early 1942 who returned in late 1945 to wives with one year old children. I also learned about the abject terror that Marines felt during the Pacific campaign. The fear of falling asleep, only to be slaughtered by the silent Japanese slithering into his fighting hole to slit his throat or bayonet him. and then, he comes home to this level of betrayal. The viseo had many objectionable aspects, but the ones that were most noticeable to me were his family allowing her to attend his funeral and allowing her to be interred anywhere close to him.
Thats really cool insight, thank you for sharing it with. People had to go through some tough times and sacrifice a lot in order for us to have what we have today.
The difficulty of the family that sticks with the service personnel through it all, TDY (temporary duty), deployments, moving again and again, that is less known than that the person serving goes through. It is sooo much more than them going on a long trip, the family must take care of the home, school, work, job, vehicle, problems, celebrations, holidays, all without their loved one who is also missing out!
we thought we'd add it to the end so if people want to watch they can, and if not then it wont interfere with the video. but thank you for the feedback !! we'll keep doing it
@@lysiandartie5458 by the way I don't know if you heard or listen to Check Yes or No by "King of Country" George Strait it might be a good one to check it out. I know y'all are swamped with requests. But I am putting it out there
Agree...Alison Krauss may have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Another great story/music video is Brooks and Dunn's "Believe", with a powerful vocal by Ronnie Dunn and heartfelt story.
This is one of saddest songs I've ever heard. I never can listen to this song without shedding a tear, and Alison's angelic voice just pierces your soul. Here's another suggestion and this artist actually achieved success here on TH-cam. He is a great storyteller and is just as talented on the guitar. He's also got a pretty big following here on TH-cam. "Colter Wall - Evangelina - Acoustic cover - Little Jack Films"
Ya'll are doing a great job in trying to make your subscribers happy. This was a great song, video and reaction! And yes I did say "ya'll". I'm from Georgia and that's what we say here. Lol. Keep up the good work guys. And, thank you for your sentiments for our military. As a veteran myself unfortunately this type of thing happens all the time. Sad!
Just a couple of suggestions if you would like think about them are, Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life and from Scotty McCreery - Five More Minutes. Just a warning the Scotty song may be a little tear jerker if you are a big softy like myself.
Imagine being a wife/girlfriend of a soldier in WW2... not hearing from him or knowing if he was alive/dead for years on end ... finally giving in to temptation when your man returns... These things did happen from what I have heard. War is hell and everyone suffers.
The legendary Alison Krauss who has won 27 Grammy awards and had won more than any other woman until Beyonce came along with the machine behind her. I don't think you can get "carried away" when saying how good she is...
Alison has a voice that's heaven sent. You should definitely look into her songs, from back in the 90's to today, her voice has stayed just as pure and beautiful. She's done duets with everyone from the Irish group The Chieftains (Molly Ban is a must hear), to James Taylor (What's Going on in Your World) and Robert Plant (Can't Let Go)
The return of love is the most powerful and I agree they both sing like Angels. I love you two.... She almost got on you for a min. bro! lol. Yall are great keep it up. AND ..Thank you for the Paisley rabbit hole...its a good way to do it VS dropping one and then waiting till 2 months later...it works as a change-up from others as well.
Keep diving through Allison Krauss. If you’ve seen O Brother, Where Art Though, she was one of the vocalists in the “siren” scene. From the first time I heard her in the early 90’s, I always said she was like a siren from Greek mythology.
Loving your channel so far. Beautiful couple, and you seem to really be getting why country music is different, because it speaks to love, loss, and real life. Love from Arkansas...keep up the good work!
I've always said the first verse of this song is probably one of the most epic verses in any song as far as I'm concerned. She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
When you love a woman with every fiber of your being, you see no other, need no other, want no other and still yet she does this. It's been almost 14 years now and I still love her as much as I ever did. But I would never sing that lullaby. " the dead have no need of the living....."
Just a reminder that one stupid mistake can destroy a life, and that Cheating ruins all parties involved. (Speaking of cheating, you should react to Sugarland's "Stay")
This song has always held a special place to me as a fully disabled combat veteran who deployed, left my apartment, truck and one of my bank accounts open to a girl I was in love with. Only to find out when I got home that she was using my apartment as her personal *UCK pad. She was *ucking two different guys IN MY BED and in my Nissan Titan, all while I was in a combat AOR. Then years later she tried to get back with me because she said “nobody ever treated me like you did, I was young and stupid…..”. Yes it does happen in real life all the time!!
you imagine surviving a war and the only thing that kept you going was thinking about your loved one back home and walking in on that scene.................
I believe that in the beginning of the song, everyone else doesn't or hasn't yet found that rock in their lives as he did with her. When that rock is broken, the damage of the war takes its toll the courage he had to keep moving forward to get back to the love of his life. The war floods back into his memories and the betrayal of this woman to and its to the point that he drinks and in turn takes his own life.
Thing to remember is that we all make mistakes. And our mistakes sometimes hurt the ones around us. She hurt him, no doubt. But if he didn't truly love her, it wouldn't have been enough pain to drive him to drink himself to death. And in turn, the fact that she never got over him is a testament to the idea that she truly regretted and repented from what she had done to him. Which means that, even though she faltered, she still, deep down, loved him too. But she f**ked up. And we all, in our own ways, f**k up sometimes. That doesn't make what she did OK, but as one grows as a human, one learns that these things happen in weak moments, and one learns to forgive. He, in the video, learned that after his own death, and in his spirit, still being in love with her, he forgave her, and she, while on earth, never forgave herself for what she did to him. But in death, forgiveness comes more easily. In that way, it is still a beautiful story. We realize when all is said and done, that we have all done things that hurt others. And we regret these things. But once we regret them, we can turn from them and try to do better. It's unfortunate that it sometimes takes coming to and end before we do that. But if you talk to a lot of older people, you'll find them far more forgiving of past offenses (in most cases) than younger people. And there's a reason for this. Time, and our own failings, help us to realize that all humans are fallible. And we come to realize, as time goes on, how many things we ourselves have done that hurt those around us -- not necessarily cheating, but a myriad of things. Listen to Johnny Cash's rendition of Trent Reznor's "Hurt" (ideally with the video) for a true illustration of this. Watch the video; listen to the conviction in his delivery. As we age, we come to realize our own failings, and once we realize those, we find it much easier to forgive others. Beautiful video, beautiful story. "The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself." As much as the "burning end of a midnight cigarette" line hits home, Allison's later line also is very telling of the story.
Clay Walker just play fall for that little Lady of yours, she will dig it, brother. I have not met one lady who has not loved that song. Just get her some wine and a great dinner at home, dim the lights and after play that song for her. It is country magic promise.
Id like to get your take on Bobby Gentry’s Ode to Billy Joe it’s a great story as well as a great song. You’ll have plenty to talk about with this one. Enjoy watching you guys, keep up the good work.
The very first line gets me right where I live. And "put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger" rips my guts out. I find it very hard to have any sympathy for the woman in the song.
War is hard ww11 was a very long war no excuse though a lot of marriages was meet marry instantly then off to war a movie walk in the clouds is very good. I showed this to my father a world war 11 and Korean veteran and he had tears in his eyes
Some lady country singers to check out: -Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue -SheDaisy - Lucky For You -Dixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl -Reba McEntire - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia - or- Fancy -Martina McBride - Independence Day -or- Concrete Angel
Thank You for react to this song. The end is like she end up together end the end. And why people use Alcohol to make the pain go away ? i will not go away is just make it worse. Can you guys react to Brad Paisley - he didn't have to be. Thank you have a great day.
You should listen to Kenny Chesney's "There goes my life", "She thinks my tractor's sexy". You should also do Mark Chesnutt's " Going through the big D", "it sure is Monday", and "it's a little too late". If you haven't done so.
We'll keep doing it, and on the Monday video we'll feature some of your comments !! The next video that comes out tomorrow is already filmed, but in the Monday video we will 100% give you a shout out :)
You should familiarize yourself with Alison Krauss Union Station. They're the finest Bluegrass(NewGrass?) band around for the past 30 years. I saw them at a Missouri concert in 2004, and would go again in a heartbeat. Find Jerry Douglas playing "Tribute to Peador O'Donnell". I can't stop listening to it. It's a different tune played on a very nice sounding resonator slide guitar(dobro).
"she put him out like the burning end of a midnite cigarette". One of the best lines in a song ever.
yup, thats a BAR lol but on a serious note, thats such a unique and cool line
It's a song about repentance and forgiveness. She regretted that all the rest of her days. He loved her despite that, and she loved him. It's a tragic love story.
100% agree, very tragic and yet beautiful song !
It's also a beautiful moral lesson. It only takes one choice to have disastrous results. She was being selfish and living in the moment.. it was wrong, but that choice is made by people everyday. Any choice you make, perhaps you should think what could come of it.

@@Mudcat3434 I never said she didn't make a bad choice. I was just stating the theme of the song and music video.

You haven't a clue...
Alison's voice IS angelic. The little girl is actually Ricky's daughter. I think the boy at the funeral is his son.
agreed ! and thats really cool, we had no idea, thank you for the info :)
Yes
What I was wondering was symbolism.. was the little girl an angel or a child they would have had.. she obviously could see them after death.. and when they hugged she smiled..
@@jamesbranham2217 You have to suspend disbelief for the whole scene. I think the child can just see them.
Alison is an amazing singer. She has won many awards. I'll suggest two of her songs:
"When You Say Nothing At All" a cover of a Keith Whitley song. A very sweet love song.
"Jacob's Dream" based on a true story but it is a very sad song.
Since you've mentioned liking videos with a story, let me suggest two more female artists:
"Fancy"--Reba McEntire
"You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" -- Patty Loveless
Whatever you decide to react to next, I'll love seeing what you react to next.
thank you so much for the suggestions, and thank you for watching our videos, we really appreciate that !!
Yes Artie, her voice is angelic. You are right!!
i really did get chills, the tragic lyrics with that voice was something else !!

Alison is amazing ! and thats cool, we didn't know he was a actor
Ricky Schroeder, "Silver Spoons" from the ?80's?
Call me crazy, or old fashioned, but, if ya really love someone...you can't just stop loving them. Even when it hurts.
100% agree
If I catch them in bed with another man. I’ll leave. No matter how much I love them
@@xanderevans2051have you experienced it? If not, how do know?
This song hits too close to home for me. My grandpa came home from WWII and shortly after his wife ran off with a traveling salesman, leaving him to raise two sons alone. He found his true love and was with her until the day he died. But he never got over that betrayal. His new wife was only 10 years older than my dad.

“When you say nothing at all” is a great song by her

From that He was determined that one day he would work with her.
Allison Krauss is angelic.Beleive it or not she is touring with Robert plant from led zeppelin. They have an album or two together .
her voice is on another level, and thats awesome we had no idea ! thank you

This is a song originally released by Kieth Whitley , Alison covered another of his songs brilliantly "When you say nothing at all"

Rick Schroder was also Newt in Lonesome Dove.
@@christielysdale1815 I stand corrected. My memory ain't what it was
My husband was in love with Allison Krauss! Haven't you ever made a mistake you wish you could take back? I know I have!
That’s ok you can get carried away. Alison Krause sounds like an Angel. When you get time you listen to some of her songs.
okay thank you :)

Krauss is a top GRAMMY winner of all time with 27 wins, making her the female artist with the most GRAMMY wins.
we didnt know that before we filmed this video, it makes sense she's awesome
Sometimes the people we love come up short, sometimes we come up short to the people we love.

Thank you for the insight, that was very well said. And we did see it from the start, just had to edit it out for copyright issues
My take was he said it had been a long time since he had been home. Maybe she thought he was dead because she hadn't heard from him?
Even though I do not agree with cheating, she was young, lonely and everyone makes mistakes. Appeared to be earlier than Vietnam, so WWII or Korea maybe. I just wish they could have worked it out before alcohol consumed them both, but then it wouldn't have been Whiskey Lullaby!
Don’t worry, Alison Krauss does have the voice of an angel. She’s my absolute, favorite female singer.
This song and video are a great example of the power of redemption and forgiveness.
They're both angels in the end😢😢😢😢❤❤

@@jacobd.carlos588 thank you we appreciate it
"Teddy Bear" by Red Sovine. Heaviest song ever. I have been trying to get somebody to react to this for years.
okay we'll add it to the list, thank you for the suggestion :)
@@lysiandartie5458 You won't be disappointed.
Alison Krauss HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL. You’re not the first reactor to say that.
Agree...Alison Krauss may have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
Another great story/music video is Brooks and Dunn's "Believe", with a powerful vocal by Ronnie Dunn and heartfelt story.
okay we'll add it to the list, thank you :)
This is one of saddest songs I've ever heard. I never can listen to this song without shedding a tear, and Alison's angelic voice just pierces your soul. Here's another suggestion and this artist actually achieved success here on TH-cam. He is a great storyteller and is just as talented on the guitar. He's also got a pretty big following here on TH-cam. "Colter Wall - Evangelina - Acoustic cover - Little Jack Films"
Also Woman singer ... Gretchen Wilson: Redneck Woman. I personally think you'll love it!!
okay we'll put it on the list, thank you :)
I'm sorry but there are a lot of people that will agree with this man Alison Krauss sings like an angel brought to earth
Ya'll are doing a great job in trying to make your subscribers happy. This was a great song, video and reaction! And yes I did say "ya'll". I'm from Georgia and that's what we say here. Lol. Keep up the good work guys. And, thank you for your sentiments for our military. As a veteran myself unfortunately this type of thing happens all the time. Sad!
Thank you for your service!! and thank you for the sweet comment
Just a couple of suggestions if you would like think about them are, Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life and from Scotty McCreery - Five More Minutes. Just a warning the Scotty song may be a little tear jerker if you are a big softy like myself.
aww that sounds great, we'll add it to the list and try to get to them as soon as we can ! thank you :)
Imagine being a wife/girlfriend of a soldier in WW2... not hearing from him or knowing if he was alive/dead for years on end ... finally giving in to temptation when your man returns... These things did happen from what I have heard. War is hell and everyone suffers.
The legendary Alison Krauss who has won 27 Grammy awards and had won more than any other woman until Beyonce came along with the machine behind her. I don't think you can get "carried away" when saying how good she is...
Alison has a voice that's heaven sent. You should definitely look into her songs, from back in the 90's to today, her voice has stayed just as pure and beautiful. She's done duets with everyone from the Irish group The Chieftains (Molly Ban is a must hear), to James Taylor (What's Going on in Your World) and Robert Plant (Can't Let Go)
Until Beyonce recently passed her, Alison Krauss had the most Grammy awards of any female artist, 26 I believe.
wow thats amazing, we had no idea. thanks for the info !
The Moral Of The Story Is When You're Dead Nothing Matters...To Forgive Is Divine...Great Reaction THX
This song makes anyone with a heart cry
The return of love is the most powerful and I agree they both sing like Angels. I love you two.... She almost got on you for a min. bro! lol. Yall are great keep it up. AND ..Thank you for the Paisley rabbit hole...its a good way to do it VS dropping one and then waiting till 2 months later...it works as a change-up from others as well.
thank you so much
@@lysiandartie5458 Thx Yall
Funny you should say that about hervoice being Angelic! That has been used to describe her voice mamy many times, i cluding myself!
thats awesome, and it was the first thing that popped into my head !
We love it what you wanna react to we will watch it. Thank you for the video
Alison Krauss is one of the greats
Whew now I’ve got to watch this…I had forgotten all about this song. Heartbreak really can be deadly.
yup 100% agree !
Keep diving through Allison Krauss. If you’ve seen O Brother, Where Art Though, she was one of the vocalists in the “siren” scene. From the first time I heard her in the early 90’s, I always said she was like a siren from Greek mythology.
Loving your channel so far. Beautiful couple, and you seem to really be getting why country music is different, because it speaks to love, loss, and real life. Love from Arkansas...keep up the good work!
thank you so much
To me, this is a song about forgiveness. A fantastic song, truly!!
Pentatonix Shallow and Perfect
okay copy that
Thank you for the reaction I expected from each of you. *Hugz* Artie.
Allison Krauss has been my favorite female singer for years.
this is the first song we've heard from her, and she's amazing !
@@lysiandartie5458 amazing voice. With a deep library of work. She's also a pretty good fiddle player.
Angelic volce. Greetings from Gothenburg Sweden.
Yelp, She has a voice of an Angel, react to her songs,,,, Yall need to come to Tennessee and hang out a little bit then yall will get it!!!
we're so down !! Tennessee is awesome !! we'll have to go there some time in the near future !
If you loved someone, you wouldn’t cheat. It really is that simple. People just water down what love is
I've always said the first verse of this song is probably one of the most epic verses in any song as far as I'm concerned. She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
When you love a woman with every fiber of your being, you see no other, need no other, want no other and still yet she does this. It's been almost 14 years now and I still love her as much as I ever did. But I would never sing that lullaby.
" the dead have no need of the living....."
sorry for what happened to you, but you're right you just gotta keep on living
Just a reminder that one stupid mistake can destroy a life, and that Cheating ruins all parties involved. (Speaking of cheating, you should react to Sugarland's "Stay")
100% agreed, and okay we'll get to it as soon as we can :)
This song has always held a special place to me as a fully disabled combat veteran who deployed, left my apartment, truck and one of my bank accounts open to a girl I was in love with. Only to find out when I got home that she was using my apartment as her personal *UCK pad. She was *ucking two different guys IN MY BED and in my Nissan Titan, all while I was in a combat AOR. Then years later she tried to get back with me because she said “nobody ever treated me like you did, I was young and stupid…..”. Yes it does happen in real life all the time!!
Mr. Mom by Lonestar is a pretty up beat amusing song.
It's about a guy trying out the stay at home dad life
sounds cool, we'll add it to the list
Try Allison Krause sing When You Say Nothing At All. You'll love it.
okay we'll add it to the list, thank you !
you imagine surviving a war and the only thing that kept you going was thinking about your loved one back home and walking in on that scene.................
Glad you did this one, he does have some really good deeper songs as you now know. Really enjoy your channel.
thank you so much
Some ofcthe most profound and painful lyrics ever written.
yup agreed 100%
I believe that in the beginning of the song, everyone else doesn't or hasn't yet found that rock in their lives as he did with her. When that rock is broken, the damage of the war takes its toll the courage he had to keep moving forward to get back to the love of his life. The war floods back into his memories and the betrayal of this woman to and its to the point that he drinks and in turn takes his own life.
happened to a lot of people I knew on deployment and that was just knowing, imagine those in hiding lmao its sad but its reality.
yea it really sucks, i feel for people that are put in that situation. i cant even imagine the pain :/
Thing to remember is that we all make mistakes. And our mistakes sometimes hurt the ones around us. She hurt him, no doubt. But if he didn't truly love her, it wouldn't have been enough pain to drive him to drink himself to death. And in turn, the fact that she never got over him is a testament to the idea that she truly regretted and repented from what she had done to him. Which means that, even though she faltered, she still, deep down, loved him too. But she f**ked up. And we all, in our own ways, f**k up sometimes. That doesn't make what she did OK, but as one grows as a human, one learns that these things happen in weak moments, and one learns to forgive. He, in the video, learned that after his own death, and in his spirit, still being in love with her, he forgave her, and she, while on earth, never forgave herself for what she did to him. But in death, forgiveness comes more easily.
In that way, it is still a beautiful story. We realize when all is said and done, that we have all done things that hurt others. And we regret these things. But once we regret them, we can turn from them and try to do better. It's unfortunate that it sometimes takes coming to and end before we do that. But if you talk to a lot of older people, you'll find them far more forgiving of past offenses (in most cases) than younger people. And there's a reason for this. Time, and our own failings, help us to realize that all humans are fallible. And we come to realize, as time goes on, how many things we ourselves have done that hurt those around us -- not necessarily cheating, but a myriad of things. Listen to Johnny Cash's rendition of Trent Reznor's "Hurt" (ideally with the video) for a true illustration of this. Watch the video; listen to the conviction in his delivery. As we age, we come to realize our own failings, and once we realize those, we find it much easier to forgive others.
Beautiful video, beautiful story.
"The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself." As much as the "burning end of a midnight cigarette" line hits home, Allison's later line also is very telling of the story.
"When I get were Im going" Brad Paisley with Dolly Parton might be his best video .
we're taking a small break from Brad, but we'll come back to him soon and check out that song !
Clay Walker just play fall for that little Lady of yours, she will dig it, brother. I have not met one lady who has not loved that song. Just get her some wine and a great dinner at home, dim the lights and after play that song for her. It is country magic promise.
haha thank you sir ! we'll definitely check him out
Id like to get your take on Bobby Gentry’s Ode to Billy Joe it’s a great story as well as a great song. You’ll have plenty to talk about with this one. Enjoy watching you guys, keep up the good work.
thank you so much for the sweet comment
Allison Krauss song Jacob dreams is really powerful
thank you for the suggestion !
Seen this performed live and man, truly amazing!
The very first line gets me right where I live. And "put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger" rips my guts out.
I find it very hard to have any sympathy for the woman in the song.
The vocals paired with that line really makes it almost unnerving
The songs about forgiveness. Apparently you guys don't have forgiveness in your heart. Beautiful love song
You’re Gonna Miss This, Dont Blink, and Remember When, are all amazing songs that will make u look at things a lil differently
Please do Thomas Rhett "Marry Me" and "Remember You Young". In that order. It's a great story telling series. You will love it.
okay we'll check it out, thank you !!
You might want to check out Allison. She's a treasure and has some beautiful songs.
War is hard ww11 was a very long war no excuse though a lot of marriages was meet marry instantly then off to war a movie walk in the clouds is very good. I showed this to my father a world war 11 and Korean veteran and he had tears in his eyes

Alison's voice is very Angelic~
Some lady country singers to check out:

okay we'll add those to the list, thank you :)
You want stories then you should check out Rascal Flatts. I'd start with "What hurts the most".
we've never heard of Rascal Flatts, so we'll definitely have to check it out. Thank you for the suggestion Jeremy :) hope you have a great week!
Thank You for react to this song. The end is like she end up together end the end. And why people use Alcohol to make the pain go away ? i will not go away is just make it worse. Can you guys react to Brad Paisley - he didn't have to be. Thank you have a great day.
we'll try our best to get to it, and hope you're having a great week
@@lysiandartie5458 No problem you guys take you time.
You should listen to Kenny Chesney's "There goes my life", "She thinks my tractor's sexy". You should also do Mark Chesnutt's " Going through the big D", "it sure is Monday", and "it's a little too late". If you haven't done so.
okay sounds good, we'll check them out ! thank you
"Who cares about this chick"is the most realistic reaction to the second verse i have heard
haha thanks ! Hope you have a great week Jordan :)
"She sounds like an angel" "But who cares about the chick?" and I snorted my coffee!
It's not about hating the girl, it's about the pain of betrayal.
i love your end of the video like is just you and you like read your comment please do more.
We'll keep doing it, and on the Monday video we'll feature some of your comments !! The next video that comes out tomorrow is already filmed, but in the Monday video we will 100% give you a shout out :)
@@lysiandartie5458 omg thank you so much you guys.
You should familiarize yourself with Alison Krauss Union Station. They're the finest Bluegrass(NewGrass?) band around for the past 30 years. I saw them at a Missouri concert in 2004, and would go again in a heartbeat. Find Jerry Douglas playing "Tribute to Peador O'Donnell". I can't stop listening to it. It's a different tune played on a very nice sounding resonator slide guitar(dobro).
sounds cool, we'll get to it as soon as we can ! thank you for the suggestion :)
If you want to check out some Alison Krauss songs, then defintely listen to "Paper Airplane"
okay roger that !
Just turn up the saturation to deal with copyright issues. Great reaction!
I knew you would get to this one
yes sir !
Hey My thoughts exactly... if Angels could sing, they would sound like Alison ...
Remember when by Alan Jackson. Such a beautiful song. Next artist run should be Alan Jackson
we're going to dive into some female country singers, but after that we'll check out Alan Jackson ! thank you
