First part of the song is about her step dad who stepped in to be the father that her father never was, and the second part is about the husband who later divorced her
Amazing how an artist can capture what others go through and put it into a song. I mean, I know that pain. I feel it with her. Biggest hole is you’re left always wondering what did I do for them to walk away? Can I change something to heal. It never goes away. I WAS 6 years old when I met him the first time and I begged him to take us back. Mom stood in the distance and just watched him look at my sisters and I and say, “not now” he meant not ever. I grabbed onto his leg so tight but he just pulled me off and walk away and that’s all I remember, his back. I feel you Kelly. But a man walked into my life at 11 and that’s my stepDad. Still in my life 38 years. Hard to hear this song and keep it together.
Oh beautiful reaction my friend. I can not imagine being a father and grandfather ever turning my love away from my family , children or grandchildren, this brought tears in my eyes thinking this really happens, no child deserves this.
You’re such a cool dude. Thank you for this reaction video. It’s nice to see men show their emotions. It is a very sad song and knowing it’s about her life is even more sad because she’s such an amazing person. I feel the ache every single time I see this performance.
👏👏👏 Loved your reaction and admitting it was tough for you not to cry too💔I find this version almost impossible to get through without sobbing😭 My Dad & I don't speak....haven't done for years because he treated us like crap & was very violent to me. As a child you don't know what you've done wrong....and every little girl wants their daddy to protect them.....even tho I'm grown, sometimes that little girl inside me still wants my daddy to love me, but it's just too painful 😢 THANK YOU for your sincere reaction👏 Peace☮️
What a great reaction. This song hits hard every time. Please react to I dare you (multilingual version) She sings in 6 different languages. It's AMAZING!!!! 👌❤️
I could never leave my son. My son is 13years old when he was 5 his dad left and i married again. The man i married adopted my son and gave him his last name. Thats a dad for you.
The most heartbreaking part of this is the man that healed her was her husband and he has now left her and stolen millions of her money and tried to get custody of the children. Brandon Blackstock is the worst human.
Her husband did not leave her; Kelly filed for divorce. There are a lot of rumors flying around about money and custody - we don't know anything for certain, nor is our business. Let's respect Kelly's privacy for the sake of her children, as she requested, and leave the blaming out of it.
@@abbey2629 100% agreed! Everyone seems to think they know something; minding the business of others when, quite frankly, chances are they aren't able to manage their own affairs. So thank you for posting that. Blessings to you and yours in this coming year!
You are always so happy coming in and then I see the song and I'm like oh no here we go I cry every time also can you react to rascal flatts live. I won't let go he is so much better live he hits those runs thanks Merry Christmas
You know that feeling where you're super stressed or overwhelmed or whatever and you just know if you could cry it might feel better? This is my go-to song for that feeling.
Why do you think he was a jerk? It's a genuine question. I only now they got divorced, but nothing about reasons. It seemed as a mutual decision, he didn't abandon them or something, she filed for divorce. And because of this song, I kind of want him to be a good dad even though they are divorced :)
@@tangerine4665 And he no longer works,has taken her to court for spousal support...he has made a fortune off of her. It just makes my heart hurt even more to hear this song now....Kelly is a real Soldier..xo
This is a brilliant song. I can’t believe they ruined the studio version making it a club song. Had they released this version, the song would have been massive.
I can't imagine a parent making a child feel like that. Too bad the man that picked up the pieces is now her ex husband. Another song along these same lines is I Wonder by Kellie Pickler th-cam.com/video/Du-pGXQEWLU/w-d-xo.html this is a video where both sides tell their side of things th-cam.com/video/iHbIquCi9Bo/w-d-xo.html .. That was Brad Paisley's wife who introduced Kellie before she sang. The Song Ticks by Brad Paisley is a good one. funny.
This one tears me up every time. Your reaction was heartfelt and spot on.Of all the reactors to this I've seen you are the first one to point out her writing this , how hard ( but cathartic I imagine)it must have been. Of course I had to smile when you didn't see how she could sing it without breaking down, because I knew what was coming.
So her husband was who came along and restored her from her childhood. This husband & Father to her children, has stolen millions of dollars from her while they were divorcing. My heart truly goes out to her. It’s heartbreaking, I love her. She is so humble, and kind, beautiful, and Uber talented🤩
The first part of the song was written about her step dad who stepped in to take the place of her horrific father, the second part of the song is about her husband at that time before he divorced her
Daddy issues are not just something women suffer from. There are too many "fathers" out there who don't tell their kids they love them, that they are proud of them, take an interest in who their kids ARE. Its not hard to invest your feelings and be proud of your kids. You will be so happy when they grow up as well rounded adults who know their worth. Parents really need to stop spending more time on their phones than with their kids.
This was me. Except I was 6 months old instead of years when Daddy took me out of the orphanage. There's no greater love for a Father whose Daughter was Chosen. I was naughty though and when we were kids I always told my little brother my parents got him from the Blue Light Special from the Orphanage rofl.
I have 4 sisters 2 older 2 younger and 2 younger brothers. We tried to pull the you were adopted thing. But we looked too much like each other. For it to ever work. Even today the oldest is now 52 the youngest 37. We'd still try to pull it. Just because siblings. Always fully knowing it would never work. Congrats on having a Great Dad!
I'd like to think this song could be about the Jesus showing us the love of the Heavenly Father is greater than the disappointments of an earthly father.

I'm 43 years old. My sister and I were physically abused by our egg donor. We will never refer to her as our mother. She walked out on us. Abandoned us. She had mental issues and was put on medication. There's no excuse. It didn't change anything. She was in and out of our lives, whenever it was convenient for her. My dad remarried and our mom (step) treated us like we were her own. We started calling her mom shortly after we met her. They never said anything out of the way about her. They encouraged us to visit with her and we did. Just when we would get used to seeing her, she would up and leave again. It went on for years. She even moved to the same state to be around us. Of course it didn't last. Last time we heard from her was in the early 90's via a certified letter. The letter said she didn't even want us. The only reason she had us was because our father wanted kids. She said once we had kids of our own, we would understand where she was coming from. My son, almost 18 and my daughter almost 16. My sister has a son, 7 years old. And to this day I still don't understand. My kids are my life. She didn't even know we both graduated from high school. I went into the Army at age 17. My sister married her high school sweetheart August 1995. I married in December 1997. Found out she died in 2002 which is ironic considering what would have been her first grandchild was born the same year she died. All I can say is it's her loss. I'm the woman I am today, no thanks to her...
Kelly wrote this song about her dad abandoning her at 6yrs old, but know she's going through her divorce and her ex husband has abandoned his own kids 😢😢❤
This song starts off seeming like a lover abandonment but with the 6 yr old line it directs the deed to her father then to the idea that he will only be there if you have something he wants otherwise you're not worth noticing. Any parent or child whose been abandoned by a parent will not only relate, but feel the same emotions that stirs from the 2 verses. How can a person just not care about their child and leave them at 6 years old, but sadly it does happen. Be it by substance abuse, the desire to leave the other parent, or just narcissism people do cut their kids out of their lives and the child is left to feel like they are the reason.. 3rd verse was so powerful, filled with hope, love, and optimist, that we all start becoming emotionally vulnerable. Add on the emotion and break downs she had while singing to a simple piano melody, you have to feel it. Especially when she hit the note on 'he loves her', thats a sledgehammer to the wall.
IT'S SO HARD TO BELIEVE WHAT SHE, AND MANY OTHERS, HAS GONE THROUGH SUCH A TERRIBLE TIME BECAUSE OF HER FATHER. MY EX-PARTNER LEFT ME WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS 2 YEARS OLD, SHE IS 26 YRS OLD NOW, AND FORTUNATELY LOVES ME AS I DO FOR HER. xxx
This song is about her dad that never wanted a relationship with her. Kelly tried to get in touch with her dad, but he didn't give her the time of day. He unfortunately died last year when Kelly did the pilot to her show. So she never had the love from her dad. In 2013 she got married to Brandon Blackstock. They have two children together and he has shown love not only to those children, but also to the other two children he had from a previous marriage. Now Kelly and Brandon are getting a divorce. I pray that he shows love to ALL his children even though he is getting another divorce. Kelly is such a strong woman. She brings life and energy to those around her. She is so talented, humble, positive, and kind. I love her music! Through her songs she has touched millions of lives. Thanks for reacting to this video Dream Team Neal!
This is about her father but her ex husband is a damn jerk cause after this song came out in the final season till now her husband is the same way he cheated on so this song is now about her dad and now her husband
I requested this song!! Thank you!! I can relate as my bio father left when i was very young and i never saw him again. My step dad came and and filled that void and is now my real father. So that song means a lot to me. Kelly wrote that song about her biological father when she was pregnant with her daughter, the man who taught her a father could love was her husband.
Please react to this cant be good by blake shelton lacrymosa synthesis live by evanescence and flatliner by dierks bentley as well as I am invincible by cassadee Pope thank you
I have a lot of respect for Keith Urban,crying during her song.That’s a real Man that can express his feelings 💯❤️😭👩🏼🦳
True that!
I thought the exact same thing. Real men DO cry. ❤
Amen, Sister!!!🎵🎼🎶💜💜💜
He is married to my girl Nicole Kidman and they have a few kids together
I heard that his father passed away just before this performance.
This song is powerful enough that all the people doing reaction videos give very very genuine, honest reactions even if they try not to.
The is by far the best reaction I’ve seen to Kelly’s performance. Thank you for being real, man ❤️
If most emotional songs cause allergies, this one is anaphylaxis, especially knowing he failed her too 😭
Yep....in the end he left her too. In pieces.
First part of the song is about her step dad who stepped in to be the father that her father never was, and the second part is about the husband who later divorced her
she opened her heart up. and touched my heart deeply
This one hits me in the feels every time.
Your reaction speaks more toward you heart & character than anything else .
Yoi have chosen some great songs to highlight during your December challenge !! Excellent job

This song is so raw and painful and beautiful.....
This story is waaay too common today and we should be embarrassed by it.
This is my story! God Bless Kelly for writing this song and singing it!!!💕💕💕
You’ve got a great ♥️
No Place that Far-- Sara Evans/Vince Gill
Excellent reaction.... we all cried together! 💗
You’re such a cool dude. Thank you for this reaction video. It’s nice to see men show their emotions. It is a very sad song and knowing it’s about her life is even more sad because she’s such an amazing person. I feel the ache every single time I see this performance.
Yoooo bruh watching u reacting this video

Your reaction is literally me the first time I seen this 🥺🥺🥺 so beautiful and sadly relatable
What a great reaction. This song hits hard every time. Please react to I dare you (multilingual version) She sings in 6 different languages. It's AMAZING!!!! 👌❤️
Merry Christmas everyone
You'd be surprised how many of us are out there
I could never leave my son. My son is 13years old when he was 5 his dad left and i married again. The man i married adopted my son and gave him his last name. Thats a dad for you.
Wow
This song kills me I know how it feels but she is amazing

I didn't know that, I can't imagine how she feels.
And her dad died and she has a half brother

And the recorded version is very upbeat
It sure is a crying and sad song
You are always so happy coming in and then I see the song and I'm like oh no here we go I cry every time also can you react to rascal flatts live. I won't let go he is so much better live he hits those runs thanks Merry Christmas
Have you checked out Marcelito Pomoy on the Wish bus singing the Prayer?
You should check out who put the pecker on the snowman sometime before Christmas
Merry Christmas! Please react to The Road You Leave Behind by David Lee Murphy.
Another good song is Reba & Kelly's song Because Of You check it out please.
Please do Blue October “Hate Me” or “Home”
Please react to Patty Loveless How can I help you
This
Not a dry eye in the whole place.
This song is such an amazing story, but I cry every time
Yeah its tough
Yeah cry every time
Although it’s even more sad more considering the husband she’s singing about here basically defrauded her and now they’re getting divorced 😢
@@lauriep2018 Yeah I was really sad to hear about that too
EVERY time! 😭😭😭
This is a TOUGH song.
I couldn't ever leave my son. Not ever.
So tough! and I feel that
You know that feeling where you're super stressed or overwhelmed or whatever and you just know if you could cry it might feel better? This is my go-to song for that feeling.
Chris Stapleton’s “Fire Away” video is a also a guaranteed ugly cry for me lol
I give props to the piano players for continuing even when she broke down. That probably kept her going.
Jason Halbert , he is her musical director since she won.
they have worked together for years, he knows when to pause and when to go on. Such a beautiful collaboration.
It’s so sad to hear this knowing that her husband turned out to be a jerk too. She may never trust another man.
Why do you think he was a jerk? It's a genuine question. I only now they got divorced, but nothing about reasons. It seemed as a mutual decision, he didn't abandon them or something, she filed for divorce. And because of this song, I kind of want him to be a good dad even though they are divorced :)
@@tangerine4665 Because he stole money from her and she found out. Google it!!

When my dad left my brothers got me through it they showed me everything this song saids
Best reaction . Love your channel. So genuine brother !! Kelly is amazing. Such great emotional connection 🙌🙌
I see the song but haven't hit play yet. My man, your allergies are gonna kick your ass on this. Merry Christmas 🎅

I had the same reaction. I love ❤ how genuine and caring you are!
She certainly deserved that standing ovation.
“i’m human, i talk back”❤️ i smile every single time he says it🥺
The bad thing is that she just divorced her husband because he cheated on her and stole money from her.
She wrote this song. Bawling. Great video
I love your reaction to this song!! Thank you!!

I subscribed because of this reaction. Love you brother. ❤️
And she's sooo pregnant! Those hormones ARE HARD!!!!
she was pregnant with her second child here so it was very emotional with you know the hormones that women go through
Nah..this is not hormones. That little girl in her heart hasn't healed, that's all.
I love how much concern and empathy you had for her. Says a lot about your character. That was a five star reaction you did right there.
Now she’s divorced raising her children by herself
Same way i reacted the first time i saw this video and still do
I feel horrible for her now that she and her husband are divorcing.......😢😢
I wonder if she'll ever sing that song again!!
This was me. Except I was 6 months old instead of years when Daddy took me out of the orphanage. There's no greater love for a Father whose Daughter was Chosen.

Let it out bro!!!!
You’re so great with your reactions man thank you for this. This is a phenomenal song. React to her singing I Know You Won’t please!

I am a new sub due 2 organic response & got the meaning right away. Kelly was very pregnant w/ her baby girl during this performance. 👏🏼😭💞
Hey my friend, you are all heart! Love your sincere reactions to these songs and how you break each song down. Merry Christmas to you & your family.

I can't hear this without tears. It even got to Keith Urban. They are friends and I think he had issues with his father, too.
His father died not long before this recording, his dad was also an alcoholic.
This song is about her dad that never wanted a relationship with her. Kelly tried to get in touch with her dad, but he didn't give her the time of day.
