every time I hear Colon Raye Im transported back to my teen years and realize what an amazing decade the 90s was for country music. Alot of incredible and amazing songs came out of country music in the 90s
On Piano/ keyboard is my cousin's son Geno LeSage. He passed away too young saving a drowning woman in a very bad ocean current. He saved her life, but could not make it back to shore. RIP Geno. Much loved and much missed.
@@jac37040 Thank you. We loved him so much. His Dad is my cousin. We know he is with God and will be with him again one day. Thank you for your kindness.
My beautiful daughter passed away suddenly in 2003. Loving her was a river, that flowed steady and calm. Losing her was the ocean. The pain was so deep and widespread, I thought I would never be above water . I've never experienced so much hurt in my life. But God's amazing grace and tender mercy led me to not linger in the sadness of her passing but, to revel in the joy that she was once here. God bless all those who have lost a loved one. Hold on to God's promise that "weeping may last for a night but , joy cometh in the morning."
l agree with you, indeed Collin Raye is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
🥀Beautiful Song amazing lyrics, vocals and music with meaning of loving someone whose your true soulmate. We met at the North back in the 90s you were there with a Atlanta braves jersey shirt on stage my deceased husband & I was in V.I.P. you had a supper power water blaster and you soaked my t-shirt that night my husband loved that. Lol it was funny but you did a remarkable job on stage you didn't need a studio. Thanks for the memories of my life. Take care and keep safe 🥀✌🥀☝️

I Have loved this song for so many years . I never get tried of hearing it . The World to me is the River...my relationship with God and his Son Jesus Christ is EVERYTHING ! . ITS THE OCEAN !!! Thank you Collin for this lovely Song.
Thank you, Mr. Raye. For this song. Years ago my mother would listen to this song when she was heartbroken. I didn't understand it until, just recently, I saw someone I love dearly in someone else's arms and then this song became part of my life. Frankly, my child and this song have kept me going these past few days. I hope, one day, God will help me get beyond this river and help me find my ocean.....
This was the first c.d. I ever owned and it was an Xmas present in 92 with a discman. I was 10 yrs old and I serenaded every girl I had a crush on in my head.😂😂😂 Man I was a cheesy goombah
This song has a totally different meaning to me now. I think that I needed Jesus in my life in a deeper way and I came a long way to find the way He wanted me to even if I know my work will always be a ,long journey.

i've always loved this. i think all men should sing it or play it (for those who can't sing) to their wives/girlfriends/fiance's when they feel like an important ex is trying to get back into the pic...but only if they arent fooling aorund with said ex. lol. but srsly..i love this.
+Jennifer GGreer i bet that Collin will have punch out any guy's eyes for wanting to mess with any woman if he was doing more singing haven't heard about him in years
I had originally dedicated this song to my girl but she can't seem to make up her mind if she wants to be together or go our separate way so I hope she is proud of herself for losing this song too. She may get it back if she decides we are getting back together. If we don't get back together then I'll just dedicate it to somebody else who really deserve this song as ours. I know that sounds harsh but that's life.
@@veronicanichols2578 I am wondering exactly who you are. I hope that you will respond back to this message so I can try to rack my mind as to who you are unless there is a way we can chat.

Its really funny because its like a path that god prepare me and my lovely woman lulu because im a beach boy and she's a country girl. And the river connects with the ocean like the love of 2
I used to love Collin Raye like there was no tomorrow. I had each and every single one of his song memorized by heart. His concert at Wolf Trap in Virginia August 3, 1997 was the very first concert I'd ever been to. More than 10 years later, I finally get to see him again at Indian Ranch and he just disgusted me so much. I have no idea what his deal was, but a little disabled child wanted him to sign her drum stick and he REFUSED to sign it for her. He wouldn't come out of his trailer for his meet and greet for anything. Since then, I have lost any and all respect for this person. This is the first time in 9 years that I have actually listened to anything by him and that's only because this was the very song that got me interested in him to begin with. Now, I don't know if Collin Raye actually pays any attention to this or his managers or whomever it may be that takes care of his Vevo page, but I hope they are reading this and let him know about this comment. I have never, in my entire life, ever been so disgusted with anybody as much as I was with him for treating a child so poorly like that.
I have a theory about our heroes - most of them we wouldn’t want in our lives. They have faults just like all of us. But we can love them for the inspiration their music gives us. That is an incredible gift they share snd any song that helps me thru life is a miracle I need. I allow them to be human with good days and bad days.
never attempt to judge a person until you have stood in his shoes. you never know what is going on with a person, that he may be hiding so the world doesnt know what he is feeling at the time. this man is a crhistian, and a great songwriter and singer. hs gives alot to everyone all the time. this is what his world is about, maybe he didnt full fill this child which seems to be important to you, thats why you took it so hard, but its a small thing, something to be over looked. pass it off as a good concert and thats it. you may not , but really in the large world this is a small thing. a signature on a drum stick?
@@ricsnyder3243 Very true. He could have been sick or anything we can never know. It doesn't fit his character so its better to assume something else was going on.

It's kinda hard to believe that many of Collin's best songs turn 30 years old this year.
It’s incredible. He is truly a living legend. Better in my books than Garth.
Where did this great music go? When songs meant something. Collin Raye belongs in the hall of fame.
You don't hear heart felt songs like this anymore and that's sad 😥 theses songs where the best

I can relate to that...our son was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2012...only God's grace has brought me this far...
I'm so sorry for your loss
To me it lasted more than a night

One of my favorite songs from him. One of the best voices in 90’s country music. You don’t hear this song played . I play this song in my car
This song remands me of my youth days at secondary school when i was 18 years and am now 41 years .What a beautiful love song

Beautiful Love Song 💖
Collin, all i can say is wow, i grew up listening to your songs and each one pulls at the heart especially someone you used to know
Beautiful Lovely song 💞💕
Beautiful tune!!! I haven’t heard this song in years!!!

It's really meaningful for me!
Now that's country music
Hang in there and trust the Lord to give u one that will take u ⛵... God bless
Beautiful l lyrics and music.
awesome song. Deep and touching. So much hurt so much love. such a mystery what love really is.
This was the first c.d. I ever owned and it was an Xmas present in 92 with a discman. I was 10 yrs old and I serenaded every girl I had a crush on in my head.😂😂😂 Man I was a cheesy goombah
goombah had me rolling for some reason😂
This song has a totally different meaning to me now. I think that I needed Jesus in my life in a deeper way and I came a long way to find the way He wanted me to even if I know my work will always be a ,long journey.
My fave. I think the backup singers in sync with the waves of the ocean do it for me.
Virtuoso songwriting. Tom Shapiro and his associates are to be commended.
Such a beautiful song ❣️🌌✍️💭
