The live version gives me goosebumps and tears. We lost Toby,Charlie Daniels,Toby is one of the last ones left that support us Vets and Troops serving now.
8:58 this is the moment I break up when I tried to karaoke this with my detachment in Korea… Joe didn’t know what was going on with “Gunny”, and the other NCO’s are weepy and waiting to bro down with me and drink harder.
Great reaction yall, thank you for sharing your observations and for the laughs! Please watch the live version with the West Point Glee Club at the awards, it is powerful and I think yall will enjoy it (that is the choir at the end).
This is a great song anyway but you shoukd check out the live version at the CMA Awards. He performed it with the West Point Glee Club. Hearing it live puts it over the top!
The original is on YT as "Trace Adkins on the CMAs With West Point Glee Club - Til The Last Shot's Fired" and is 6 years old now. It doesn't have as many views as it should. The introduction is by Marine LT Andrew Kiner, who lost both legs in Iraq and is representing the Wounded Warrior Project. Trace also is a huge supporter of them, and is often seen hosting their commercials for fundraising.
You are spot on about the meaning of this song. This is what Trace Atkins said about the song “What if soldiers are in this kind of - I don’t want to say purgatory - but that’s kind of what it is. What if these soldiers are in a place where they can’t rest until the last shot’s fired until war doesn’t exist? What if only then they can find peace? I think if we knew that, and if that were true, there probably wouldn’t be wars anymore. So I thought that was a real unique way of looking at it. And it pays tribute to soldiers but, at the same time, asks that question.” This always gives me chills and I cry every time.
If I remember right Trace said it was a tribute to soldiers plus a what if soldiers look at being in limbo and not being able to rest til there were no more war. It's been awhile since the interview I saw gosh 2010 I think. Keith is definitely correct in his take on it as until the last shots are done and no more war will they be able to rest. The version at the awards is a MUST see. Trace write so many of these type of songs. His respect and support of the wounded soldiers is awesome to see. Sometimes it's hard to remember he has some really silly assed songs as well.
That is my take on this song too. All of the warriors are stuck in between and can't rest until all wars stop. It's funny that you mention this song live, he did it at an awards show with the West Point choir and it was amazing.
The first time I heard this song was a live performance at the American country music awards. Trace was backed up by the West point glee club and it is one of the most powerful things I've ever this is a fundraiser for the wounded warrior project. If you want to see the performance that has all the views on it go find that one. Exemplary reaction
That's always they way I've seen this song. No one can go home until the last shot's fired of ALL WARS! Peace on Earth. When Jesus comes back, 1000 years of peace. Such a great song, Trace is AWESOME!
Love Trace. This is my favorite patriotic song. Thanks Stephen! And the music, to me it’s haunting from the very first notes. The West Point Glee Club and that majestic voice of Trace’s ….. couldn’t be done bettter. There’s a live awards show performance you should check out. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 And I think you’re spot on Keith. I think that’s exactly what the writers are saying.
The first time I heard this song I watched a live performance with the choir on the CMA's and I cried my eyes out. I agree completely that this isn't just a song its and masterful composition, the layers of the music add such depth to lyrics that are already so powerful. I don't know if he meant that they can't come home until the end of all wars, the true last shot's fired, but that's how I always took it as well. Thanks for a great reaction!
Real Traditional country music like this is all about telling a true story about real life and putting your heart into every word that you sing. And that is what real Traditional country music is all about
I totally agree with Keith. This is a masterpiece. The live performance with the choir is amazing. And yes, I always saw it the same way, that the fallen soldiers can’t go home until the last shot is fired. Amazing song. Thank you Stephen for bribing it. It’s one of my favourite patriotic country music songs. Normally I stay away from those because I feel like as a non American it’s not my place to have an opinion about that topic. The reaction was great like always.
This is a stunning song, and probably my favorite of Trace’s. On a funny note, my brother was a bouncer years ago and worked security at a musical venue. Trace Adkins was going to come on, and my brother stood before him, looking up into the air, asking “who’s protecting whom??”
I just recently saw a fan made video for this song that is a tribute to the creator's father. It's titled "Til The Last Shot's Fired Music Video, A Tribute To Fallen Heroes" and I do agree with the theory that it is all the dead waiting for the last war's last shot to be able to rest and go home.
You're correct about the overall theme. It's right there in the lyrics. "In the fields of Vietnam, The mountains of Afghanistan, And I'm still hopin', waitin' prayin' I did not die in vain" Right after the verse about the young soldier dying on the shores of Omaha. So he's waiting and praying since 1944 through all the other wars. Or at least I see it that way. Music and poetry are sometimes hard to fix exact meanings to, other times not so much.
This song matches the way you break down the drinks too.With a different flavored beginning, middle,and end.Theres even a Madonna tie in.The need to live in a material world prevents the last shot being fired also in multiple ways
Your spot on. Trace did do a live performance of this song with the Westpoint choir. Also if I remember right, there’s no studio version, it’s just the love version that’s been added to the album.
Great reaction 💗💗 I think you hit the nail on the head No one gets to go home,....even the dead untill the last shot fired from any war .And we live in peace.
This is by far my favorite Trace Adkins song. I'm not sure what his exact meaning of the "last shot" was, to be honest I've never really thought to much about it, but I always figured it was referring to American history as a hole. Thought-provoking question so thank you. Having been a collegiate choral musician, I thoroughly enjoyed the choir at the end. While the choral part was not overly technical, it was masterfully preformed. I don't know what method they used to record, but the blend of all the parts was superb!
So, that’s the West Pointe Glee Club I believe but the live at the CMA is so much better. In the live version a Marine says the words, “It’s not about the war, it’s about the warrior”. As for why he may not be painting detailed pics toward the end, I would think that it’s because a lot of the vets are still alive & it may be taking their feelings on the subject into account.
Great reaction..I interpreted the song the same as you did..All the soldiers spirits from all the wars are trapped here until the very last war is fought and the very last shot is fired..Then they can all go home..Trace has been the primary celebrity spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project since 2010..The choir singing in this song is the West Point Cadet Choir or Glee Club as it's mostly called..You should check out the live performance at the CMA Award.
Trace Adkins has always been great at bringing into songs about the military and the soldiers by putting you right there is 1st person POV. You live and feel what these soldiers are feeling and seeing
The way I interpret the grand theme of the song is that “the last shot” is either the last shot the warfighter fires or the shot that sends him to me his/her maker.
Hey guys, I hadn’t heard this one before and I must say I’m glad I finally have. The choir at the end gave me chills. Don’t know if you guys are familiar with a singer by the name of Corb Lund. Another song you should check out is called student visas. It’s also got a military theme and it’s one that I don’t think a lot of people know of but it’s a really good song. He’s got a few like that he’s got one called her soldier, horse soldier. But he’s from Calgary Canada and he got a put an interesting twist on country but as I say, he’s worth a listen.
I've listened to this song several times, but today at the first lines of the second verse, it just hit different with a little dust. Keith got the point that Trace has said he had thought. Also, Trace is a big fella. The voice kinda matches. The choir was the West Point Cadet Choir that needed Pentagon approval. P.S. There is a video.
Trace had to get permission for the West Point Glee Club to sing on this. He travelled to the Pentagon to get that permission. I'm sure he had to make some concessions to get that permission. I noticed that Trace sang about the fallen sons, but when the club came in it said daughters and sons. I also noted that the choir did not sing the phrase, "Sweet Mother Mary, we're so tired." That was probably to keep the government from endorsing a particular religion.
We have a paranormal team and we travel the country doing investigations and research. We went to Gettysburg in 2014, 2016, 2018. We were all set to go to New Orleans next week,but we sat and talked and we decided to go to Gettysburg again and will be going to the DC area to Arlington National Cemetery. Of course we aren’t doing anything regarding the paranormal at Arlington. Keith is right. When we go to Gettysburg we are often silent because somewhere deep inside we feel the battle still going on. This song is exactly as Keith described, soldiers prayers for peace and rest.
Paranormal or no, I have been in the middle of Bull Run at midnight. On Halloween. Under a full moon. And that was due to random circumstance. Now whether it was in my head or what, there was a feeling there. And it wasn't trivial. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts Yes, when you are there it’s like there is an undercurrent you can feel. We are definitely not like any of the idiot paranormal investigators on TV; we don’t go in screaming and demanding action. We have video and audio running and we observe. We did go to the National Cemetery in Gettysburg and I saw a headstone that read “Here Lie the Remains of 256 Soldiers.” I just sat down in front of it and cried. I eventually looked around and saw the rest of my team, my husband and four big “tough guys” kneeling in front of gravestones, crying as I was. I can’t even imagine Arlington.
I agree with you Keith. I believe the song means they can't come home until there is no more war at all. This was reinforced by the reference to the daughters & sons mentioned in the choral verse.I didn't look it up but I think the choir could be from one or more of the military academies.
To be fair guys, most people watch the live version from the awards show with the West Point Glee Club behind him. Amazing performance. Guys, whoever put this video together used a studio version of the song and then added on the end of the live performance from the CMAs where Trace was backed up by the West Point Glee Club. That is the choir that you heard. Here is a link to that live performance. Oh and this was written by Doug Johnson and Rob Crosby. th-cam.com/video/GSEauSGFK74/w-d-xo.html
Thank you to all military members and their families for their service and sacrifices and let's never forget the fallen heroes and think you might like to check out and possibly consider THEY CALL ME DOC BY WALKER MCGUIRE
to me it means that nobody gets to go home till we sort our shit out but also that some men and women are left in the battle for the the vultures and are never heard from again till the finale shot when people can search the land.
This is a deep song. Personally, I always followed the theory/archetype of War. War doesn't get to rest, until Peace has a hold. I won't go too far in my opinion as that delves into belief systems. A more recent, light hearted song would be So Do the Neighbors.
And actually yes I do have fat fingers, but one shot fired means one shot kill. And you double tap in CQB and sometimes triple, two to the chest one to the head
The choir is The West Point Glee Club you should re do this with the video it is a live performance and in the beginning there is a introduction by a military veteran
I don't know if you have ever seen the movie The Lincoln Lawyer, but if you have Trace Adkins plays the role of the head biker so yeah definitely not a choir boy.
Question. Sherry can travel from Alice In Chains has come out with a new solo album, which is basically a country album. Would you guys consider giving a couple of those tracks a listen?
You guys should watch the live version. It’s AMAZING
Yes, the one with the West Point Glee Club.
@@gk5891 That sent good chills down my spine
@@gk5891That one is the best I've heard and hits hard.

Keith I think your right about the last lover shot fired . 16:55
Chills every. Fucking. Time. When the choir enters.
That is my take on this song too. All of the warriors are stuck in between and can't rest until all wars stop.
It's funny that you mention this song live, he did it at an awards show with the West Point choir and it was amazing.
The choir at the end, I imagine being the soldiers who were either KIA, or veterans who had passed. Saying to me, "do it for them".
Until this comment, I had never considered that. But wow, if that was Trace's intent, that's genius. Powerful. - Keith
Wow, I hadn't thought of that either. Man this is such a deep song. Absolutely incredible.
The first time I heard this song was a live performance at the American country music awards.

Trace Adkins is a badass big ol’ boy and very passionate dude he would be the modern day oak ridge boy with his deep voice.
Love Trace. This is my favorite patriotic song. Thanks Stephen! And the music, to me it’s haunting from the very first notes. The West Point Glee Club and that majestic voice of Trace’s ….. couldn’t be done bettter. There’s a live awards show performance you should check out. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 And I think you’re spot on Keith. I think that’s exactly what the writers are saying.
Your welcome
@@stevebournite184 Steven then? Sorry about the ‘ph’!
@jwmson7791 either works, you were correct with Stephen, but I also go by Steve too
I agree. Till the last shots fired for all time. That's what I felt the first time I heard it
All proceeds from this song went to the Wounded Warrior Organization
Trace is a great Human Being!

Just like "Brothers in Arms." This sentiment is international. Global. Human. - Keith
You should definitely do the one on the cma’s with the West Point Glee Club. It’s outstanding and kinda emotional.
Great reaction!! 100% no one goes home until the last shot’s fired - when have we had peace & not had troops overseas?
This is a stunning song, and probably my favorite of Trace’s. On a funny note, my brother was a bouncer years ago and worked security at a musical venue. Trace Adkins was going to come on, and my brother stood before him, looking up into the air, asking “who’s protecting whom??”

@@alyssat7809 thanks, for some reason my auto correct popped that in.
Good point. I didn't quite catch that nuance in a first listen, but I was feeling the overall theme. - Keith
The live version was performed at the CMA's...the 'choir' used is the West Point Glee Club.
I wish Steven would've requested the live version at the CMA's, performed with the West Point Glee Club.
It's a pretty powerful performance.
Sorry
I don't think you need me to say, watch the live version.. its been stated enough. This is one of my favorites with Trace. Great job guys.

One of my favorites by Trace. The best patriotic artist I've ever heard. The line "praying i did not die in vein" hits home everytime.
Highwaymen was the first thing I thought of at the start.

I wouldn’t doubt that your interpretation is spot on. Trace was a spokesman for the “ Wounded Warriors Project “, and maybe still is.
I agree with your interpretation, they are trapped as long as there are wars, a powerful song, watch the live version it is powerful!
Trace sang it live at CMAs with the military choir (can't remember what branch) and it was stunning!
Trace had to get permission for the West Point Glee Club to sing on this. He travelled to the Pentagon to get that permission. I'm sure he had to make some concessions to get that permission.

He did sing it live with the West Point choir. You should. Look that performance too
Trace's (SEMPER FI) is another good one.
WATCH THIS LIVE AT THE CMA AWARDS W/ ARMY GLEE CLUB THAT WAS WHERE HE DEBUTED THE SONG
Needs to see live version.

all us vets are trapped, none of us ever get to go home until we are over. oneday it wont be an issue anymore is the dream
That’s right you got it
Think it's the West Point choir singing with him. This was recorded live.
to me it means that nobody gets to go home till we sort our shit out but also that some men and women are left in the battle for the the vultures and are never heard from again till the finale shot when people can search the land.
I have a couple songs y’all might enjoy reacting to in the future. Willie Nelson “10 With A 2”. Junior Brown “Highway Patrol”.
This is a good song
Listen to Arlington yes he use to sing in a choir when he was a kid
It’s the story of the soldiers that died and how they seen the war through their eyes
This is a deep song.
Personally, I always followed the theory/archetype of War. War doesn't get to rest, until Peace has a hold. I won't go too far in my opinion as that delves into belief systems.
A more recent, light hearted song would be So Do the Neighbors.
And actually yes I do have fat fingers, but one shot fired means one shot kill. And you double tap in CQB and sometimes triple, two to the chest one to the head
He did do it live
when he did this at the CMAs he had the west point glee club in the background near the end
Fan for 25 years
Loved the highway men connection I always had that same idea the reincarnation theme very astute😂
That said there’s a badass version of this where he had the West Point choir in it it’s a master piece
The highwaymen connection jumped right out at me. - Keith
Awesome reaction
Thanks!
Please watch the live version!
The choir is The West Point Glee Club you should re do this with the video it is a live performance and in the beginning there is a introduction by a military veteran
So is Trace
I do😊
Yep you got it on last shot
The Highway Men were 4 men and 4 singers.
The choir is the West Point cadet choir
Check out every album he has a song for them military and started the Wounded warriors project.
I don't know if you have ever seen the movie The Lincoln Lawyer, but if you have Trace Adkins plays the role of the head biker so yeah definitely not a choir boy.
great stuff!
Thanks
I've always taken it to mean they can't go hone until all war is over hence the emphasis on the line pray for peace
If you want a good Brother in Arms song, Home Free does an excellent version. Give it a chance.
If you love Trace Adkins check out his songs Semper Fi and Arlington and She Thinks shes just Fishing
Great Song!
