If you want to react to a Country Music song with a story and you haven't done Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers, it tells a good story. Also Kenny Rogers The Greatest.
As someone who grew up in a trauma filled childhood this song hits me hard. The weird thing is, I’ve never been religious and the ending is what COMPLETELY gut punches me every time. First time I heard this song I had to pull over and bawl my eyes before I could keep driving
I too was hit the very same way only I was younger. I’m a 93 baby and I was probably 8-9 the first time I heard this song. They used to play it on the country station my mum listened to. It broke me every single time I’d hear it.
The lyric about Jesus, a man the little girl knew nothing about, yet recognized him because he was there protecting her the night her parents died is one of the most beautiful endings to a country song I’ve ever heard.
I know you probably wont see this. The song from Martina McBride- Im gonna love you through it is a fantastic song. Warning it will make you cry. My mama passed 8-17-22 an I sang this song to my mama 4days before she past as i was holding her an singing this song to her. We both were crying cause she realized she was dying (complications from a stroke) as she was on hospice an i got the honor to care for her till her last breath
He has a brother that was one half of the country group Montgomery Gentry. One of my favorite songs by them is "Something to be Proud Of" and "Some People Change". Unfortunately, the other half of the group, Troy Gentry, passed away in a helicopter crash maybe 6-8 or so years ago. Coincidentally on the same day that country artist legend Don Williams passed.
He is stereotypical vocally because he was a real country star, he had a chokehold on top 10 country in the early 00’s and late 90’s. I grew up with both metal and country through that time and both were killing it with stories and messages, I will never understand how people can listen to one and not the other and say they’re music fans. This is real, authentic country to me. Not the pop stuff they play now..
I actually knew this story years before John Michael Montgomery put the song out. My mom told me about it growing up when I was about the age as the girl in the video looks if not a little younger. The story had missing details at the beginning but mind you, she only knew more detail about the ending of the story because- and I cannot verify this since my mother has since passed- she either knew or knew of the adoptive parents and what the little girl said. So when I heard the song I knew where it was going. I love seeing the song being appreciated.
I used to work in adult social care and it permanently broke my heart. I don't know how anyone can work in child protective service. My hat's off to them. ❤ I'm a metal head, but country music...oh man...love the fun, love the pain. I feel you, man. Great reactions. 👌🏻
This song is heartbreaking, but I loved that she got new parents who showed her all the love she wanted and needed. Also, I don't know you personally Luke, but what you said about being a parent is spot on, and I can tell you're a fantastic father!🙂 For a young man, you're pretty wise!😉
Wow! What a story 😢 Having been a foster carer for 126 children who most had come from those situations… it’s a very real tragedy. Fortunately, there are people out there to pick up the pieces. ❤
Thank you for being a foster parent. I was this little girl and going into foster care was the best thing that ever happened for me. My foster parents were amazing people. Being a foster parent is hard and it’s a lot to take on us children who come very broken, but I would not be the person I am today if two strangers hadn’t welcomed me into their home and taught me what family is supposed to look like. So thank you for everything you do. ❤
This song always makes me tear up. I lost very dear friend to a murder suicide in front of her children. She had done the right thing and sought help from abuse, but he was allowed visitation. She was killed in front of her kids and twins sisters' family. She was one of at least 3 in that small community in a matter of weeks
Came across your channel because of this and your genuine personality reacting to this made me instantly subscribe. I have a feeling I'll be binging this channel.
John Michael Montgomery was a hit-maker in the 90s and he has a lot of great songs! My favorites of his are No Man’s Land, Friends, Be My Baby Tonight, I Swear, Life’s a Dance, I Can Love You Like That, How Was I To Know, Rope the Moon, The Little Girl, Hold On To Me, I Love The Way You Love Me, If You’ve Got Love, Long As I Live, and Oh How She Shines.
I appreciate your reaction. Thank you for taking the time and sharing. Have a blessed day and I agree with your assessment. If a person is not ready to give all to a child, then do not become a parent.
Country music in the 90s could literally rip your soul from your body and mind and leave you completely heartbroken. I’m a mother of a 19 yr old & a 17 yr old & this song will make you remember every mistake you made as a parent & sob like an infant…
I just came across this, your reaction hit me right in the heart. I just wanted to say as a child of an alcoholic father and addicted mother you are right these arent just stories. Ideally this wouldn't be life for any child but sometimes we're deallt these cards for some reason. Im now 35 with a 5 year old of my own and I wouldnt change anything from my past because it has allowed me to be the mother for her that she needs. I wasnt able to have a childhood but now looking at her Im okay with that sacrifice, my past has allowed me to see the world and people in a different light, including my parents who unfortunately werent able to conquer their own demons.. Just wanted to share a positive outcome, i saw how hard this song hit you.
Irish and Scottish music have songs with stories. Which makes sense that the people in the appellation mountains started with country because that’s where a lot of Irish and Scottish people went to when we were colonies
Appalachians are primarily Scots-Irish & the Appalachian mountain culture is very shaped by the lowland Scots forced from their homes & settled in Northern Ireland, hated by the Irish & used by the English. It's a very friendly to newcomers but standoffish culture. You keep your mouth shut about stuff that don't concern you type place. Martina McBride is another Appalachian in Concrete Angel "the neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights". I live here now it's some of the most beautiful country in the world, but the dark secrets kept, "some folks listened, some folks talked, but evrrybody looked the other way" if it ain't your business
I am late to the game here, but I know you would absolutely love “Sold! (The Grundy County Auction Incident)” by John Michael Montgomery. It absolutely a fun song! It will put a smile on your face!
I can tell your country-fan friend has a hard on for John Michael Montgomery. That makes me wonder why he hasn't recommended JMM's arguably greatest song ever - SOLD!
This song still makes me tear up, and I've listened to it for years. There's another song called Alyssa Lied by Jason Michael Carroll that I absolutely cannot listen to without tearing up.
i love that there are other people out there that love music like i do and can be brought to tears by an amazing message in a song as well as the cold chills from amazing singing and story telling....i could go on and on about how amazing music is
I was brought up on Country Music and also love the storytelling...I think one of the most wholesome ones is "Chain of Love" but my absolute favorite Country Song is and always will be Reba McEntire's "The Night The Light Went Out In Georgia"
I could not remember details (figures, my brain...) so I went and looked it up. This song apparently came out in Y2K. I do remember hearing it but I thought it was older than that for some reason. I was an adult when this came out but I was not yet a parent. Even not being a parent yet, it still HURT me when I heard the lyrics to this song. DAMN, JMM, what did you DO!? lol GREAT storytelling! Short, sweet and to the point, no B.S. Just a guitar and a few voices and an AMAZING story to tell. Great Christian Radio track, although many people would wonder how it could be on Christian Radio with those lyrics...right up until the very end of the song when everything is made clear. Just WOW. Mind-Blowing and tear-jerking. Goes right along with Concrete Angel by Martina McBride.
I know this is 3 months after the post of this video but I just watched it for the first time. I can relate to what you said afterwards because I also always felt that I was to be the kind of parent who sacrificed for their children. It was modeled to me by my parents. Grew up with 6 brothers and 3 sisters. We didn’t get everything we wanted but our needs were met. Fast forward and I am now 66yo and was diagnosed with non-alcoholic liver disease in 2020. Now my boys (like you I have 2) take care of me. I will say I don’t like that they have to but they are amazing! Don’t know if you will actually read this as it is so long after you posted but I felt that I needed to make the statement.
What you shared was real and true. Now, as a parent and an adult life has so much meaning. I raised only 1 child because I never found the right person to have another child with. My son now has 3 children and I'm a fun Grammie to them. I also look after my Mom after living my father 3 years ago and my 97 year old Grandmother in April this year. Family taking care of family past, present and future..that's what life's about to me. ❤ Much love from Texas! I enjoy your country reactions so much! Thank you!! Driveway by Cody Johnson is worth a reaction sometime please.
Wasn't sure if I knew this one just from the title. And then I heard those opening notes and went "well crap." 90s and early 2000s country just hits different. I get hit with so much nostalgia every time you post one of these. This stuff was basically all I listened to growing up. I know you're getting all of your country recs from Judd but there are a few that I have to throw out there anyway. Martina McBride's Independence Day and Concrete Angel are both very much along this line. They are both gutwrenching. Kenny Chesney's Don't Blink and There Goes My Life. I think There Goes My Life will completely destroy you. It's basically your ending monologue on parenthood in song form. And finally The Chick's Travelin Soldier, Goodbye Earl, and Not Ready To Make Nice.
Please watch Jessie Howard with the little boy and the preacher man, Alyssa lies by Jason carrol, Martina mcbride with concrete angel, Keith urban with the fighter he wrote to Nicole Kidman after her split from Tom cruise.
7 years ago, I adopted 4 siblings who came from a home like this. It has taken several years of therapy and counseling, but they are doing amazing now.
It's real for some of us. My parents didn't die in a murder suicide but the rest of the story was my life. My grandparents become my parents at 5 years old. I thank God every day for my grandparents and for my early life. At 36, I know what not to do as a parent and learned from my grandparents how to be a parent. As a teacher, I can recognize the signs of an abused or neglected child and help them.
I have not played your reaction yet. Own this album and this will break you a bit. GREAT SONG. John Michael Montgomery is an all time favorite of mine. Enjoy this new world. 🙂 Country Music is "3 chords and the truth". Nuff said.
As someone that grew up in Kentucky with parents that mostly only listened to country music, theres probably a lot of country songs that can make me feel rather emotional lol
thats why we love ya G- country music is the best ! story telling is the best - long time follower and love ur reactions ! and thank u JUDD- we love JUDD - take care and love to u and urs
No man if you want a brilliant county song give Craig Morgan a run. Particularly his song “the father, my son, and the Holy Ghost” This was a song that wasn’t meant to see the light of day he wrote it after a very traumatic experience in his life as a way to cope. It was only supposed to ever be heard by his family but both them and a friend of his that is also a country singer told him he had to put it out there because people needed to hear this. If you react to it I recommend the live version at the grand ole opry it’s one of the best live performances I’ve ever heard
grew up listening to this song! it was always so sad but it hits so much different now that i know i have infertility. it’s mind blowing that people are like this..
As an American this song hits hard I was an 80s baby who grew up in the 90s and early 2000's in a small town and seeing it today as a 40 year old, I don't know what the hell happened to my country, especially just in the last 4 years things are soraling withought a break!!! Exactly as you said, I'm scared for my daughters, who are 6 and 3 who have to live in the new world but I'm trying to do my best to instill how I grew up and give them solid ground to walk on that's all we can do is raise our kids right amidst all the BS going on. On a lighter note... you have to hear his song Virginia that one will make you smile, and 90s some Chevy , he's got a few written before Rich men North of Richmond too! Oops I meant this one for I want to go home!
You should give a reaction to the Australian children's group, the Wiggles, Castle Of Dromore. While they are geared toward pre-school/kindergarten, they do some Scottish/Irish folk songs. Castle Of Dromore is an old Irish lullaby, originating in the 1800s I believe, the Wiggles celebrate 30 years of performing/hits this year so I think that would be a good tribute to them to check out.
I can see that a few others have suggested it in the comments, but I'm joining in and suggesting Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. But only if you are prepared to cry. The video is tough but it's incredible storytelling.
I grew up on country music, and the one song I still have trouble listening to is Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. As soon as I hear those opening notes I wanna cry. Independence day by the same artist is one of my favorites to listen to though it also is a dark song. I would love if you checked out a song by Martina McBride.
Ive seen a few of your reactions now and finally subscribed. Great reactions so far from what ive seen. I have not looked through your whole channel yet so ignore if you've reacted to these, but some big counrty reaction videos that you should check out too is: "Skin" by Rascal Flats "Fire away" Chris Stapleton "Almost home" Craig Morgan "If you're reading this" Tim Mcgraw "The benchseat" Chase Rice "It wont be this way for long" Darius Rucker "Tough little boys" Gary Allen (great song for fathers with little girls) Anyway, those are some great songs to react to. I have tons more if you like these. Best of luck on your country journey.
We fostered and adopted a baby girl who was physically abused and neglected. We were foster parents because we took in our son’s friend who was being abused. I got the call at work about this baby girl. My husband panicked, our bio kids were 16 and 12 so we were starting over. This song is eerily similar to our baby girl’s story. She is now 9 years old and the light of our life. She looks so much like our biological daughter that people think I’m “grandma.” Lol, I feel like a grandma trying to keep with her!
Thank you for saying it’s not just a story. Because it does happen my parents sit and kill each other physically but emotionally they did and they took me and my brother down with them. My brother was a drug attic for many years to cope with it he had I had two boys I sacrifice my life for them. I broke all the chains of abuse. Then I was a drug attic for three years to cope with my shitty marriage and the childhood that I had. But then I found a man who loved me who excepted me know I’m not on drugs anymore. I’m just a good quiet grandma that my grandchildren love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you.
I used to babysit for a couple that didn't care about their kids the house was a wreck the dad played video games all day while the kids were crying. One time the caseworker came in while I was babysitting and she's like see you know what you are doing you are taking good care of the kids. The dad one time came home closed and locked the door and left me sitting outside holding the child
I love this song, and I grew up in this house, but I made damn sure my kids grew up without abuse! I love what you said about parenting. Here’s why some people don’t like country music, I love the story telling music, but I can’t stand crying in my beer let’s get drunk and go shoot guns music. Just my opinion
I grew up not even knowing my parents really and tried to start a relationship with my mom it kinda worked out but with my dad before i was even 15 years old my dad had attempted to kill me twice. when i was 13 was the second time he tried it was the day before Christmas of all days, im pretty sure he did because i woke my entire body was freezing and felt like pins and needles (only reason i say im pretty sure is from what ive read of people who has died and came back, when a persons soul leaves their body when it returns it feels exactly like that) but someone was watching over me that night. Im 28 years old and i didnt really have much of a childhood, thankfully i got to have a little bit of a childhood but it wasnt very much honestly. Now im 28 years old i go out of my way to make sure that any and every kid has a good time or someone to talk to when everything isnt because i never had anyone to talk to as a kid, to be honest this is the first time that ive told anyone any of these things...
This song is tragically beautiful. I didn't recognize it by the name, but the first couple of notes and I immediately remembered the whole song. If you're looking for a song that is on a happier note, I would recommend "He Didn't Have to Be" by Brad Paisley.
You say you like a good story so I will let you in on some very old GREAT ONES ,RED SOVIN-little rosa,teddy bear,phantom 309,geddy up go many more.George Jones the corvette song,who's gonna fill their shoes, he stop loving her today.Willy,Waylon,Chris- Seven spanish angels.I was raised on old country it's ancient now. Hank Sr.- if you got the money honey.
Day 20 of requesting a reaction to the following openings: Chivalry of a Failed Knight op Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op Darling in the Franxx op Kiznaiver op You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
I get church from local churches on television, radio, and online because I can’t listen to a preacher who skims money from the church and lies about it. Bless you I love this song. I know I don’t deserve I but I hope God saves me💕💕💕

If you want to react to a Country Music song with a story and you haven't done Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers, it tells a good story. Also Kenny Rogers The Greatest.
Oh yeah and Christ Stapleton, Fire Away
As someone who grew up in a trauma filled childhood this song hits me hard. The weird thing is, I’ve never been religious and the ending is what COMPLETELY gut punches me every time. First time I heard this song I had to pull over and bawl my eyes before I could keep driving
Hugs, Kisses, Love and Prayers (with your permission).

I couldn't agree more 😭😭😭
I got a buddy over in the UK and he says that country music is actually more popular over there than most people think.
I know you probably wont see this. The song from Martina McBride- Im gonna love you through it is a fantastic song. Warning it will make you cry. My mama passed 8-17-22 an I sang this song to my mama 4days before she past as i was holding her an singing this song to her. We both were crying cause she realized she was dying (complications from a stroke) as she was on hospice an i got the honor to care for her till her last breath

Martina McBride has a song named "Concrete Angel," which is amazing. Her voice is killer! She is another country artist who is a great storyteller.
I can rarely listen to that one
Please do “Concrete Angel by Martina McBride”!
That one destroys me. A deeply touching song by an amazing artist but I can't listen to it too often.
I actually knew this story years before John Michael Montgomery put the song out. My mom told me about it growing up when I was about the age as the girl in the video looks if not a little younger. The story had missing details at the beginning but mind you, she only knew more detail about the ending of the story because- and I cannot verify this since my mother has since passed- she either knew or knew of the adoptive parents and what the little girl said. So when I heard the song I knew where it was going. I love seeing the song being appreciated.
I used to work in adult social care and it permanently broke my heart. I don't know how anyone can work in child protective service. My hat's off to them. ❤ I'm a metal head, but country music...oh man...love the fun, love the pain. I feel you, man. Great reactions. 👌🏻
Don't worry bro this song gets me every time to. Great musician from right here in Kentucky.
This song is heartbreaking, but I loved that she got new parents who showed her all the love she wanted and needed. Also, I don't know you personally Luke, but what you said about being a parent is spot on, and I can tell you're a fantastic father!🙂 For a young man, you're pretty wise!😉
Wow! What a story 😢 Having been a foster carer for 126 children who most had come from those situations… it’s a very real tragedy. Fortunately, there are people out there to pick up the pieces. ❤
Thank you for being a foster parent. I was this little girl and going into foster care was the best thing that ever happened for me. My foster parents were amazing people. Being a foster parent is hard and it’s a lot to take on us children who come very broken, but I would not be the person I am today if two strangers hadn’t welcomed me into their home and taught me what family is supposed to look like. So thank you for everything you do. ❤
And, you need an uplifting song, Brad Paisley - He Didn't Have To Be. Might still cry, but happy tears.
Good for you for your honest and intelligent reaction to all types of music. Much success to you.
This song always makes me tear up. I lost very dear friend to a murder suicide in front of her children. She had done the right thing and sought help from abuse, but he was allowed visitation. She was killed in front of her kids and twins sisters' family. She was one of at least 3 in that small community in a matter of weeks
Love your tender heart!!
Tanya Tuckers song Like Two Sparrows in a Hurricane is a great country story song
Came across your channel because of this and your genuine personality reacting to this made me instantly subscribe. I have a feeling I'll be binging this channel.
John Michael Montgomery was a hit-maker in the 90s and he has a lot of great songs! My favorites of his are No Man’s Land, Friends, Be My Baby Tonight, I Swear, Life’s a Dance, I Can Love You Like That, How Was I To Know, Rope the Moon, The Little Girl, Hold On To Me, I Love The Way You Love Me, If You’ve Got Love, Long As I Live, and Oh How She Shines.
The world needs more people like you.
I appreciate your reaction. Thank you for taking the time and sharing. Have a blessed day and I agree with your assessment. If a person is not ready to give all to a child, then do not become a parent.
This song could be about me I grewup in the a similar situation another song would be Alisa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll
If this song does not bring tears, then you have no heart.
Country music in the 90s could literally rip your soul from your body and mind and leave you completely heartbroken. I’m a mother of a 19 yr old & a 17 yr old & this song will make you remember every mistake you made as a parent & sob like an infant…

It's a very friendly to newcomers but standoffish culture. You keep your mouth shut about stuff that don't concern you type place.
Martina McBride is another Appalachian in Concrete Angel "the neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights".
I live here now it's some of the most beautiful country in the world, but the dark secrets kept, "some folks listened, some folks talked, but evrrybody looked the other way" if it ain't your business
I am late to the game here, but I know you would absolutely love “Sold! (The Grundy County Auction Incident)” by John Michael Montgomery. It absolutely a fun song! It will put a smile on your face!
I can tell your country-fan friend has a hard on for John Michael Montgomery. That makes me wonder why he hasn't recommended JMM's arguably greatest song ever - SOLD!
He's got to get through all the depressing ones first lol
Exactly, it would really lift Luke's spirits!😉
This song still makes me tear up, and I've listened to it for years. There's another song called Alyssa Lied by Jason Michael Carroll that I absolutely cannot listen to without tearing up.
i love that there are other people out there that love music like i do and can be brought to tears by an amazing message in a song as well as the cold chills from amazing singing and story telling....i could go on and on about how amazing music is
I'm not especially religious but that last verse in this song always gut punches me no matter how many times I hear this song. Beautiful.
Wow! You have it exactly right. When you have kids your life is now for your kids.
I was brought up on Country Music and also love the storytelling...I think one of the most wholesome ones is "Chain of Love" but my absolute favorite Country Song is and always will be Reba McEntire's "The Night The Light Went Out In Georgia"

GREAT storytelling! Short, sweet and to the point, no B.S. Just a guitar and a few voices and an AMAZING story to tell.
Great Christian Radio track, although many people would wonder how it could be on Christian Radio with those lyrics...right up until the very end of the song when everything is made clear.
Just WOW. Mind-Blowing and tear-jerking. Goes right along with Concrete Angel by Martina McBride.
I've seen your earlier ones that make you say man what are you doing to me.They are the best.#3 chords and the truth.

You've got to hand it to country music to make you cry. Concrete Angels by Martina McBride follows the same vein as this one.
Wasn't sure if I knew this one just from the title. And then I heard those opening notes and went "well crap." 90s and early 2000s country just hits different. I get hit with so much nostalgia every time you post one of these. This stuff was basically all I listened to growing up.

I think There Goes My Life will completely destroy you. It's basically your ending monologue on parenthood in song form. And finally The Chick's Travelin Soldier, Goodbye Earl, and Not Ready To Make Nice.
Yes Concrete Angel, I was thinking the same thing :)
Please watch Jessie Howard with the little boy and the preacher man, Alyssa lies by Jason carrol, Martina mcbride with concrete angel, Keith urban with the fighter he wrote to Nicole Kidman after her split from Tom cruise.
7 years ago, I adopted 4 siblings who came from a home like this. It has taken several years of therapy and counseling, but they are doing amazing now.
I was born in America in the mid ‘70’s. I love all types of music. And I love watching your reaction videos.
Dont know how it can be great and sad at the same time. It is a true song. Youre right, easier to not have a kids.❤
It's real for some of us. My parents didn't die in a murder suicide but the rest of the story was my life. My grandparents become my parents at 5 years old. I thank God every day for my grandparents and for my early life. At 36, I know what not to do as a parent and learned from my grandparents how to be a parent. As a teacher, I can recognize the signs of an abused or neglected child and help them.
I have not played your reaction yet. Own this album and this will break you a bit. GREAT SONG. John Michael Montgomery is an all time favorite of mine. Enjoy this new world. 🙂 Country Music is "3 chords and the truth". Nuff said.
That made me cry and I’ve heard that song a dozen times.
I think it’s your reactions. You are so positive and I love your channel
Every time I hear this song I cry my eyes out! So thanks lol :)
As someone that grew up in Kentucky with parents that mostly only listened to country music, theres probably a lot of country songs that can make me feel rather emotional lol
A tragic story with a happy ending...thanks for sharing your reaction with us!
thats why we love ya G- country music is the best ! story telling is the best - long time follower and love ur reactions ! and thank u JUDD- we love JUDD - take care and love to u and urs
wonderful sweet and simple song
Alison Kraus from "Whiskey Lullaby' does the background vocals.. you can hear her angelic voice there... you should react to her songs
You should watch Alyssa Lies. It is a song that is based on a true story and really hits you hard.
From one youtube creator to another but more importantly, one father to another, an amazing reaction. Thank you.
Amen Brother!!
that song does that to anyone who has a heart
No man if you want a brilliant county song give Craig Morgan a run. Particularly his song
“the father, my son, and the Holy Ghost”
This was a song that wasn’t meant to see the light of day he wrote it after a very traumatic experience in his life as a way to cope. It was only supposed to ever be heard by his family but both them and a friend of his that is also a country singer told him he had to put it out there because people needed to hear this.
If you react to it I recommend the live version at the grand ole opry it’s one of the best live performances I’ve ever heard
grew up listening to this song! it was always so sad but it hits so much different now that i know i have infertility. it’s mind blowing that people are like this..
As an American this song hits hard I was an 80s baby who grew up in the 90s and early 2000's in a small town and seeing it today as a 40 year old, I don't know what the hell happened to my country, especially just in the last 4 years things are soraling withought a break!!!
Exactly as you said, I'm scared for my daughters, who are 6 and 3 who have to live in the new world but I'm trying to do my best to instill how I grew up and give them solid ground to walk on that's all we can do is raise our kids right amidst all the BS going on.
On a lighter note... you have to hear his song Virginia that one will make you smile, and 90s some Chevy , he's got a few written before Rich men North of Richmond too! Oops I meant this one for I want to go home!
You should give a reaction to the Australian children's group, the Wiggles, Castle Of Dromore. While they are geared toward pre-school/kindergarten, they do some Scottish/Irish folk songs. Castle Of Dromore is an old Irish lullaby, originating in the 1800s I believe, the Wiggles celebrate 30 years of performing/hits this year so I think that would be a good tribute to them to check out.
I can see that a few others have suggested it in the comments, but I'm joining in and suggesting Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. But only if you are prepared to cry. The video is tough but it's incredible storytelling.
I grew up on country music, and the one song I still have trouble listening to is Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. As soon as I hear those opening notes I wanna cry. Independence day by the same artist is one of my favorites to listen to though it also is a dark song. I would love if you checked out a song by Martina McBride.
Thank you for your reaction. Unfortunately IT does happen.❤
I know this is several moths old but John Micheal later became part of Montgomery Gentry
I went through this growing up
Another song you could take a look at is done you wrong by Aaron Pritchett
Tugs at the heart strings
Ive seen a few of your reactions now and finally subscribed. Great reactions so far from what ive seen. I have not looked through your whole channel yet so ignore if you've reacted to these, but some big counrty reaction videos that you should check out too is:
"Skin" by Rascal Flats
"Fire away" Chris Stapleton
"Almost home" Craig Morgan
"If you're reading this" Tim Mcgraw
"The benchseat" Chase Rice
"It wont be this way for long" Darius Rucker
"Tough little boys" Gary Allen (great song for fathers with little girls)
Anyway, those are some great songs to react to. I have tons more if you like these. Best of luck on your country journey.
I listened to classical music
Opera ,and every other type of music that is out there
I absolutely love john Michael Montgomery. You should also check out his son Walker Montgomery's music also
This was my childhood
I love your reactions! ❤
listen to Brooks and Dunns original video version of "Believe"
We fostered and adopted a baby girl who was physically abused and neglected. We were foster parents because we took in our son’s friend who was being abused. I got the call at work about this baby girl. My husband panicked, our bio kids were 16 and 12 so we were starting over. This song is eerily similar to our baby girl’s story. She is now 9 years old and the light of our life. She looks so much like our biological daughter that people think I’m “grandma.” Lol, I feel like a grandma trying to keep with her!
Jason Michael Carol "Alyssa lies"
You got a good heart
This was A real story, he heard about it on the news and put it to a song
Thank you for saying it’s not just a story. Because it does happen my parents sit and kill each other physically but emotionally they did and they took me and my brother down with them. My brother was a drug attic for many years to cope with it he had I had two boys I sacrifice my life for them. I broke all the chains of abuse. Then I was a drug attic for three years to cope with my shitty marriage and the childhood that I had. But then I found a man who loved me who excepted me know I’m not on drugs anymore. I’m just a good quiet grandma that my grandchildren love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you.
I used to babysit for a couple that didn't care about their kids the house was a wreck the dad played video games all day while the kids were crying. One time the caseworker came in while I was babysitting and she's like see you know what you are doing you are taking good care of the kids. The dad one time came home closed and locked the door and left me sitting outside holding the child
I love this song, and I grew up in this house, but I made damn sure my kids grew up without abuse! I love what you said about parenting. Here’s why some people don’t like country music, I love the story telling music, but I can’t stand crying in my beer let’s get drunk and go shoot guns music. Just my opinion
Have you heard Blaine Larsons how do you get that lonely? There is a story
Another great country song story you should check out is "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride
As a father of 2 awesome young men, I am just as furious. Kids deserve all the love in the world and it destroys me when I see stuff like this.
Check out “Alyssa Lies” by Jason Michael Carroll
For a good story, listen to Randy Travis “I Thought He Walked On Water” it’s about his great grandfather
Looks back at your last JMM video… “what did I JUST SAY!”
I grew up not even knowing my parents really and tried to start a relationship with my mom it kinda worked out but with my dad before i was even 15 years old my dad had attempted to kill me twice. when i was 13 was the second time he tried it was the day before Christmas of all days, im pretty sure he did because i woke my entire body was freezing and felt like pins and needles (only reason i say im pretty sure is from what ive read of people who has died and came back, when a persons soul leaves their body when it returns it feels exactly like that) but someone was watching over me that night. Im 28 years old and i didnt really have much of a childhood, thankfully i got to have a little bit of a childhood but it wasnt very much honestly. Now im 28 years old i go out of my way to make sure that any and every kid has a good time or someone to talk to when everything isnt because i never had anyone to talk to as a kid, to be honest this is the first time that ive told anyone any of these things...
This song is tragically beautiful. I didn't recognize it by the name, but the first couple of notes and I immediately remembered the whole song.
If you're looking for a song that is on a happier note, I would recommend "He Didn't Have to Be" by Brad Paisley.
You say you like a good story so I will let you in on some very old GREAT ONES ,RED SOVIN-little rosa,teddy bear,phantom 309,geddy up go many more.George Jones the corvette song,who's gonna fill their shoes, he stop loving her today.Willy,Waylon,Chris- Seven spanish angels.I was raised on old country it's ancient now. Hank Sr.- if you got the money honey.
Try Dr Mr Jesus. Forget who does it but very touching
If you haven't done so, you should react to "Third Rock from the Sun" by Joe Diffie
I wish every foster/adoptee story ended up this sweetly. That's not the case.
Day 20 of requesting a reaction to the following openings:
Chivalry of a Failed Knight op
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op
Darling in the Franxx op
Kiznaiver op
You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
I definitely agree with the first 3 but I don't think I know the last one.
Country ia actually probly the most popular music in ameica
I get church from local churches on television, radio, and online because I can’t listen to a preacher who skims money from the church and lies about it. Bless you I love this song. I know I don’t deserve I but I hope God saves me💕💕💕
You should do letters from home too.
Try CHristmas shoes. Dare you not to cry!!!
Damn it. I had managed to forget this song. 😢
The video is all to real
